Ying Zheng came to Tian Rong's side and pulled out the Emperor's Sword from his body. He stared at Tian Rong and asked,""Tell me, who are you? Why did you assassinate me?”
Tian Rong didn't answer him, instead, he looked at Ying Zheng with a furious face and said,""You tyrant, everyone has the right to kill you. Even if I can't kill you today, there will still be people who will.”
"You're courting death!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng swung the Emperor's Sword in his hand and stabbed it into Tian Rong's chest.
Puff!
Tian Rong spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
"Bring this man's body back to Xianyang and hang it on the city wall. I want to let those rebels know that this is the outcome of assassinating me.”
"Yes."
Seeing that Ying Zheng was fine, Huhai hurriedly walked over and asked,""Imperial Father, are you alright?"
Ying Zheng glanced at him, but did not say anything.
He had seen all of Huhai's actions.
After putting away the Emperor's Sword, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Ying Yun.
"Yun, when did you learn martial arts?”
"Your son has learned it a long time ago. It's just that I've never shown it in front of Imperial Father."”
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed. He wanted to ask Ying Yun why he was hiding his martial arts.
However, Ying Yun had risked his life to protect him, dispelling the doubts in his heart.
Zhao Gao sneered and said sarcastically,"The martial arts that Young Master Ying Yun displayed just now wasn't any weaker than this old servant's.”
" Yes, he fought ten enemies at once," Huhai said." I'm afraid that General Wang Ben is no match for him."”
When Ying Yun heard this, his eyes narrowed.
The two of them seemed to be praising him, but in fact, they were reminding Ying Zheng that Ying Yun had intentionally concealed his martial arts.
However, Ying Zheng's face did not change at all as he said,""Yun knows martial arts. This is a good thing. In the future, if the country has any problems, at least he can help.”
With that, he turned around and walked into the carriage.
Hearing this, Huhai and Zhao Gao were unwilling.
Originally, they wanted Ying Zheng to punish Ying Yun, but who knew that Ying Zheng had no intention of punishing Ying Yun at all.
The two of them couldn't help but cast their gazes at Ying Yun, their eyes filled with killing intent.
Ying Yun's display of strength had already made them feel threatened.
Fu Su was already giving them a headache.
Now, there was another Ying Yun.
Ying Yun chose to ignore their gazes.
With Ying Zheng around, even if the two of them wanted to kill him, they would not dare to do so.
"Let's go back to Xianyang."
Right at this moment, Ying Zheng's cold voice came from the chariot.
Upon hearing this, Huhai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si boarded Ying Zheng's chariot, while Ying Yun walked towards Zhuge Liang's chariot.
Although they came out together, Ying Yun had always been sitting in another carriage. Before this, Ying Zheng had summoned him, so he was able to sit together with him.
"My lord, you shouldn't have attacked just now.”
After Ying Yun boarded the carriage, Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said.
After Ying Yun sat down, he said," The Wisdom Rankings will be announced very soon. At that time, our names will definitely be on the rankings. Once we are on the rankings, Imperial Father will definitely be suspicious.”
"Rather than waiting for him to suspect us, we might as well save him now and gain his trust.”
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said,"Although my lord's words are reasonable, I'm afraid that Zhao Gao and Huhai will target my lord.”
Ying Yun and Zhuge Liang both knew that Huhai and Fu Su had been fighting for the throne.
Ying Yun had always kept a low profile, so he was ignored by the two.
But now, he had displayed an astonishing battle strength. In order to prevent Ying Yun from fighting with him for the throne, Huhai would definitely try his best to get rid of Ying Yun.
"Don't worry. With our current strength, we have nothing to fear from Huhai and Zhao Gao.”
On the carriage.
Ying Zheng sat in the middle.
Zhao Gao, Huhai, and Li Si sat on either side.
"What do you think about the assassination just now?”
Ying Zheng looked at the three of them and asked.
" Although most of the assassins have been killed, their leader has escaped," Li Si said." I suspect that they will come again to assassinate Your Majesty in the future, so Your Majesty has to be on guard."”
" I know that," Ying Zheng said coldly." As long as the remaining evil spirits of the six dynasties are not eliminated, I will not have a peaceful life."”
"Of course, we have to get rid of the remaining members of the Six Nations, but Young Master Ying Yun's performance has surprised this old servant.”
" Ever since Young Master Yun fell seriously ill ten years ago, he has changed," Zhao Gao said." At first, I thought he became so quiet because of his illness.”
"But today, this old servant discovered that Young Master Yun had been hiding his strength.”
"You mean Yun is hiding his strength on purpose?" asked Ying Zheng, raising his eyebrows.”
" Father," Huhai continued," if my brother didn't hide his strength on purpose, why didn't he participate in the state affairs? Every time Father summoned him, he would find an excuse to decline."”
"I think he has been planning for a long time to make a move today. His goal is to show off in front of father.”
Ying Zheng fixed his eyes on Huhai and said with a gloomy face,""If he really wanted to hide his strength, why didn't he hide it all along?”
"This isn't the first or second time I've been assassinated. Why didn't he make a move earlier, but chose to make a move now?”
"This…"
Facing Ying Zheng's question, Huhai was rendered speechless.
At first, Ying Zheng had a good impression of Huhai, but Huhai's performance today had disappointed him greatly.
It was true that Ying Yun was hiding his strength, but at the critical moment, the other party risked his life to protect him.
On the other hand, not only did Huhai not attack, he chose to retreat.
Based on this point alone, Ying Zheng chose not to pursue this matter any further.
"Your Majesty, I have something I don't know if I should say!”
Li Si asked.
"If you have anything to say, just say it," said Ying Zheng coldly.”
" Young Master Yingyun has always been very low-key," Li Si said." However, I noticed that there's someone following him. That person's name is Zhuge Liang."”
"This person is almost inseparable from young master Ying Yun. This subject thinks that if young master Ying Yun doesn't have any schemes, it's impossible for him to keep a person by his side all day.”
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed, his face expressionless as he said blandly,""Yun is a prince. Isn't it normal for someone to follow him?”
" I just feel that that person is a little unusual," Li Si said.”
They were both strategists, but Li Si could feel the difference in Zhuge Liang.
Of course, because Zhuge Liang didn't show it, he couldn't be sure.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then said,""Alright, this matter ends here. Let's return to Xianyang first.”
Although he said that, Ying Zheng decided to find an opportunity to test Ying Yun.
