Xianyang, the palace.
Today's weather was very sunny. It was rare for Ying Zheng to temporarily put down his heavy government affairs and relax in the imperial garden.
In the garden.
A youth in a luxurious black robe held a wooden sword and competed with the guards in the palace.
This young man looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a tender appearance. However, the heroic spirit between his eyebrows was fifty percent similar to Ying Zheng's.
This young man was Ying Zheng's youngest son, Huhai.
Although Huhai was young, his swordsmanship was very beautiful.
Soon, the royal guard who was fighting him had his wooden sword knocked down by him and was defeated.
"I won! I won!"
Huhai immediately cheered loudly, waving the wooden sword in his hand, his face full of excitement.
The guard who was fighting him bowed and said in admiration,"Young Master's swordsmanship is superb, you're a genius! I admit defeat."
The guards and eunuchs also praised him.
"Young Master, you have such a swordsmanship at such a young age. You have the style of King Wulie!" Zhao Gao said with a smile.”
King Wulie of Qin was the third-generation King of Qin. His martial strength was extraordinary and he could lift a tripod.
Huhai enjoyed the praise. He ran to a pavilion nearby and proudly said,""Father, is my sword technique powerful?”
At this moment, Ying Zheng was watching from the pavilion.
Huhai was the youngest of Ying Zheng's many sons, and also the one whom Ying Zheng doted on the most.
If it were any other heir, they wouldn't even dare to think about playing alone like this, because they wouldn't receive such treatment.
Looking at Huhai, Ying Zheng smiled faintly and said,""The guard just doesn't dare to defeat you.”
"They are all experts who have been filtered through layers and layers. Their martial strength far exceeds ordinary people. If it was a real life and death battle, you wouldn't even be able to take a single move from them.”
"What?"
Huhai was stunned. Then, he looked at the guards he had defeated.
The latter looked a little embarrassed and could only smile awkwardly.
Seeing this, how could Huhai not understand that Ying Zheng was telling the truth? However, he was not convinced.
"Hmph, it's just because I didn't use a real sword. If I had a good sword, they definitely wouldn't be able to defeat me!”
Huhai said with absolute certainty. Then, he hugged Ying Zheng's arm and began to beg,"Father, when will you give me the sword you promised?”
"You are the King of Qin, you can't go back on your word.”
Ying Zheng smiled faintly and patted his head."Since I promised you, I will naturally give it to you.”
"When I return, I will get someone to pick one for you.”
Hearing such perfunctory words, Huhai was naturally unhappy.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of the sword on Ying Zheng's waist, and his eyes lit up.
"This sword is so beautiful. Royal Father, please give this sword to me.”
Huhai said as he stretched out his hand.
However, before he could reach the sword, Ying Zheng stopped him.
"Other swords are fine, but not this sword.”
Ying Zheng stopped Huhai's hand. His tone was slightly cold, and the smile on his face was gone.
Ying Zheng had always given Huhai whatever he wanted. This was the first time he had rejected him like this.
However, the more he couldn't get something, the more he wanted it.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was unwilling to give it to him, Huhai immediately threw a tantrum and said,""No, I want this sword! If Father doesn't give it to me, I'll kneel here today and not leave!”
"Little Lord, you can't-!"
Zhao Gao's expression changed drastically. He wanted to dissuade her, but it was already too late.
Huhai knelt on the ground, looking angry.
"Impudent!"
At this moment, Ying Zheng's face was as dark as water. He stood up and looked at Huhai coldly.
"You've actually developed such unruly habits at such a young age! Who taught you that?"
"Do you have the qualifications to take this sword?”
Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with anger. He hated being threatened by others the most. Huhai had undoubtedly touched his reverse scale.
Moreover, Huhai still wanted this sword.
When the Sovereign King was enraged, his majestic might made everyone involuntarily kneel down. They lowered their heads and prostrated on the ground, trembling.
Huhai had never seen Ying Zheng like this before. He was so scared that his face turned pale. His whole body was trembling, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
But even so, Ying Zheng's anger did not subside.
Right at this moment, a guard ran over from afar and reported to Ying Zheng,""Your Majesty, Young Master Fusu and the diplomatic team have arrived at Xianyang!”
This sentence attracted Ying Zheng's attention.
"Fu Su is back?"
After hearing this news, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with joy, and the anger in his heart was also greatly dispelled.
Fu Su had left the State of Qin for a long time. Now that he had finally returned, it was undoubtedly great news.
"Yes, Young Master has already entered the city.”
The guard nodded and replied respectfully.
Ying Zheng was in a good mood, but when he saw Huhai kneeling on the ground, his eyes darkened again.
"Look at your big brother! This diplomatic mission to Tang not only helped to form an alliance between Qin and Tang, but also gained the recognition of the Tang King!”
"When he was at your age, he was already able to handle government affairs for me, but you're still here brandishing knives and guns!”
"Kneel here and reflect on yourself today.”
"Zhao Gao, you stay here and supervise!"
After saying this, Ying Zheng snorted coldly and turned around to leave, leaving Huhai alone, crying and kneeling with Zhao Gao beside him.
After watching Ying Zheng leave, Zhao Gao sighed and said helplessly,""Little Lord, you really shouldn't have said those words.”
He had accompanied Ying Zheng for many years and naturally knew what was taboo.
If it were any other young master, he would have been punished by Ying Zheng for what Huhai had just said.
Huhai's face was covered in tears as he sobbed,""Isn't it just a sword?"
"But you can't take that sword.”
Zhao Gao became more and more speechless. He explained to him,"That sword is called Lulu. It is the number one sword in the world. Only the kings of the Qin country can hold it. Anyone who touches it will be sentenced to death!”
"If you want that sword, how can the King not be angry?”
After Zhao Gao's explanation, Huhai finally understood, but he was still unconvinced.
He wiped the tears off his face and said hatefully,"It's just a broken sword. Sooner or later, I'll get my hands on it!”
"He's always comparing me with big brother. Isn't that guy just a few years older than me? What's so great about him?”
Huhai said angrily.
For the first time in his young heart, he felt jealous and resentful towards Fu Su and Ying Zheng.
Hearing his words, Zhao Gao remained silent, but his eyes flickered slightly.
