"Foolish!"
"How muddle-headed!"
"Third brother, you are usually very quick-witted. Why are you so muddle-headed this time?”
After the ministers dispersed, Ying Zheng paced back and forth in the royal study with a face full of hatred for his lack of competition.
Ying Qian said helplessly,"Big brother, I have already said it. I have a plan for this."”
"Foolish brother also spread the news of the public opinion that Lu Buwei mentioned.”
"Moreover, this military strategy has taken good care of Foolish Brother.”
"High General Wang Jian is in command. With my brother's relationship with General Wang, he definitely won't make things difficult for my brother.”
"Meng Tian is the deputy general. With Meng Tian's assistance, Eldest Brother can rest assured about military affairs.”
"Foolish brother has led fifty thousand soldiers, twenty chariots and five thousand cavalry.”
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Qian with a complicated look, then sighed and said,""Third brother, you should be able to guess that both Lu Buwei and Lao Ai will attack you during this expedition!”
"Why did you still accept the order to go out?"
"Only the barrel of a gun can produce political power," Ying Qian said solemnly.”
"Whether it is Lao Ai or Lu Buwei, when they are helpless, they will definitely fight back with force.”
"Big brother, if we really need to fight, how many soldiers can we mobilize?”
Ying Zheng fell silent.
There were less than five hundred soldiers under Ying Zheng's command, and including the assistant ministers and sword-wielding eunuchs, there were only seven hundred men.
It was basically enough for daily defense, but when faced with Lao Ai and Lu Buwei's final counterattack?
It was simply not enough!
" Eldest Brother," Ying Qian said in a serious tone," Although we've taken back the doctor's order and Zuo Ge's position from Lao Ai's hands, I'm afraid that we'll have to wait for him.”
"But in times of crisis, these people might not be trustworthy.”
"However, if my brother is conferred the title of Marquis, according to the law, he can have three thousand personal guards.”
"After the war against Korea, this foolish brother will directly select those who dare to fight from the army to become soldiers in his fief, which will form a fighting force.”
"In this way, our military strength will increase dramatically to deal with the disaster of the saber!”
According to the original history, Lao Ai had gathered three thousand soldiers in the end, and Lu Buwei did not join the battle. Instead, he sent his subordinates to help Ying Zheng finish the battle.
However, who knew how big of a storm Ying Qian's strong butterfly had caused?
It was a matter of life and death, a matter of whether the mission could be successfully completed. Ying Qian would not gamble!
Ying Zheng let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly,""If third brother can become a marquis, it will indeed be of great help to you and me.”
"But does Third Brother know how difficult it is?"
Ying Qian laughed lightly." Eldest Brother, do you really think that the reason why I was able to survive the assassination on the street was all because of Assistant Minister Meng and the others?"”
"Isn't that so?" Ying Zheng was slightly startled.”
The eight bodyguards immediately stepped forward and cupped their hands." Reporting to Your Majesty, in the battle of Chang Street, we and Assistant Minister Meng killed thirty-three enemies. The crossbowmen killed ten.”
"The rest were killed by Young Master, and the enemy archers were also defeated by Young Master!”
Bafu bent his waist even deeper."I didn't report this to the king before. I hope the king will punish me!”
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Qian in disbelief,""Third brother, you actually have such martial arts?”
"Are you sure you didn't order your personal guards to deceive your brother?”
Killing dozens of death warriors with his own strength was something that even Ying Zheng did not have.
In Ying Zheng's impression, only the ancestor of Great Qin, King Wu of Qin, who could carry a thousand-pound cauldron, could do this!
How could his third brother, who did not like to practice martial arts and did not even have a stone lock in the hall, have such martial strength?
It was ridiculous!
The Eighth Husband's expression immediately turned bitter." Your Majesty, I have been feeling uneasy for a long time without reporting this matter. How would I dare to lie to Your Majesty?"”
Ying Qian smiled,"Eldest Brother, don't scare this Foolish Brother's personal guard."”
"It's just dozens of death warriors. They can't get close to my body.”
"If Eldest Brother doesn't believe me, you can ask Assistant Minister Meng.”
Ying Zheng sized Ying Qian up from head to toe, but he could not figure out where the fighting strength of the men of sacrifice who had fought against dozens of enemies was hidden.
However, seeing Ying Qian's confidence, he felt a little relieved.
If his third brother was as brave as King Wu of Qin, he would not have to worry about assassinations.
After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice,""Since Third Brother has already made up his mind, then I won't try to persuade him any further.”
"But third brother, remember, you must, you must protect yourself!”
Ying Qian smiled and nodded.”
" Hmph!" Ying Zheng snorted in dissatisfaction." I can't let go of my worries!"”
As he spoke, Ying Zheng turned around and opened a hidden compartment, taking out a jade pendant.
"This is the jade pendant of Second Brother's mother, Han Furen.”
Ying Zheng solemnly placed the jade pendant in Ying Qian's hand.
"Madam Han is the niece of the current King Han. With this jade pendant, you can directly meet the King Han.”
"Third Brother has his own intelligence network. If you hear that the court is sending troops to eliminate Third Brother for any reason, don't hesitate to take this jade pendant to Han Country and seek refuge with Han Wangan!”
"At that time, Third Brother will definitely be ridiculed and humiliated by King Han, but you must endure it.”
"After this elder brother takes over the government, I will definitely bring third brother back to Great Qin!”
Ying Zheng suddenly looked at Ba Fu and the other bodyguards and said in a deep voice,""I command you in the name of the King of Qin.”
"If anything goes wrong, you must escort the Third Young Master to the Han Country. I will withstand the pressure from the court and will not let your relatives be implicated.”
"When I take over the government, I will reward you for your contributions!”
Ba Fu and the others looked at each other in disbelief.
The king actually instigated them to betray the country?
However, the group of bodyguards still bowed down.
"Yes, sir!"
Ying Qian felt a warm current in his heart.
If he really defected to Han Country, it would certainly deal a great blow to Ying Zheng's prestige.
However, Ying Zheng still did it resolutely, and even paved the path of treason for himself.
And all of this was just for his own safety!
"Foolish brother, thank you, big brother!" Ying Qian cupped his hands.”
After helping Ying Qian up, Ying Zheng patted Ying Qian's arm and said,""No need to thank me."
"The fact that third brother is alive is the greatest gift I can give you!”
Ying Qian nodded vigorously,"Foolish brother will definitely return to Xianyang alive!"”
"It's enough that you think this way.”
Not expecting the atmosphere to be so heavy, Ying Zheng turned around and asked with a smile,""Third brother's request to provide rations for the troops is not purely for money, right?”
"Presumably, with Third Brother's temperament, he wouldn't drink Soldier Blood.”
Ying Qian chuckled." I think I can hide it from Lu Buwei, but I can't hide it from you."”
" What else can we do to the provisions?" asked Ying Zheng curiously.”
"Or could it be that Third Brother is worried about the grain processing officials and is worried that the logistics officer will poison the military rations?”
Ying Qian said casually," This matter is not easy to explain. If Eldest Brother has the time, why don't you come with me to take a look?"”
" There's no need to spare any time," Ying Zheng said immediately." Let's go out of the palace tomorrow and have a look!"”
"As long as I don't understand why Third Brother is doing this, I won't be able to calm down.”
"If it weren't for the fact that it's already late, I would have left the palace to take a closer look!”
