"Just say what you want to say!"
Ying Zheng could tell what Ying Hong was thinking even with his eyes closed.
Ying Hong had never said anything as mushy as " I miss my father very much ".
However, he was in a good mood now, so he did not mind.
"Imperial Father is wise. Nothing can hide from your fiery eyes.”
Ying Hong didn't care that his cheap father Ying Zheng didn't want to accept his attack.
In any case, he could just throw whatever nice words at them. He would not lose anything.
"Imperial Father's birthday ceremony, as a young master, your son will naturally not forget about the gift.
In the past ten days, your son has painstakingly prepared a congratulatory gift for Imperial Father. It is now outside the palace gates. Could Imperial Father send someone to bring it?”
Counting the time, the hundred heads of the rebels should have been sent out of the palace by the county officer, Si Zhuo. So, Ying Hong made his request to Ying Zheng.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes sparkled, and his heart was filled with curiosity.
Ever since Ying Hong flew away from Ze Tai Palace on his flying sword, Zhang Han and the Shadow Secret Guards had been searching for him.
Yesterday, news had spread that Ying Hong had appeared in Bao County.
However, because of the birthday ceremony, most of the Shadow Secret Guards retreated to Xianyang City to take charge of the security of Xianyang City during the ceremony.
Only a small portion of the Shadow Secret Guards had gone to Bao County to investigate, and there was no further news for the time being.
Therefore, Ying Zheng had no idea what Ying Hong had been doing outside during this period of time.
"Zhao Gao, personally bring someone to bring the congratulatory gift that Hong 'er mentioned.”
With his curiosity aroused, Ying Zheng immediately gave the order.
......
"So Gongzi Hong went outside the palace to prepare a congratulatory gift for His Majesty.”
"Looking at His Majesty's reaction, His Majesty's love for Gongzi Hong didn't decrease, but increased!”
"Nonsense. If my son knew how to do this, I would like it no matter what.”
"The heavens truly bless His Majesty, the heavens bless Young Master, and the heavens bless Great Qin!”
"That's right, that's right…"
While Zhao Gao went outside the palace to get the gift that Ying Hong had mentioned, the banquet returned to its original orderly state.
Everyone returned to their seats and chatted with each other in low voices.
In the middle of the banquet, only Ying Hong and the elegant woman with a white veil were standing.
Ying Hong was waiting for the congratulatory gift that he had prepared, so he naturally wouldn't go back to his seat.
As for the woman, she had no choice but to continue standing because Ying Zheng did not speak.
Ying Hong glanced at the woman beside him and roughly guessed her identity.
However, he had more important matters to attend to now. It didn't matter whether the woman was the person he had guessed.
Not long after!
Zhao Gao returned with his men.
To everyone's surprise, Zhao Gao only brought a team of ten people with him.
However, when they returned, there were more than 40 of them.
These forty people were in groups of two, carrying a large wooden box. It did not seem to be very strenuous.
When the boxes were placed behind Ying Hong, everyone's eyes were fixed on them.
Everyone was guessing in their hearts what kind of gift Gongzi Hong was going to give Ying Zheng this time, for it to require such a huge formation.
"Open it!"
After the guards retreated, Ying Zheng took a glance at Zhao Gao, who had been wearing a strange expression ever since he came back, and the curiosity in his heart grew stronger.
However, the things had already been brought over, but Ying Hong was still staring at the ground without moving.
Left with no other choice, Ying Zheng could only open his mouth to remind his son who had " forgotten " about the proper business.
"Imperial Father, your son feels that it's a little inappropriate to display this congratulatory gift in public during the ceremony.
Therefore, I would like to invite Imperial Father to come in and take a look.”
Ying Hong, who had already thought of an excuse, would not open the box so easily.
The effect of looking at a head from afar was completely different from looking at it from a close distance.
Besides, it was indeed a little rude to show everyone a dead man's head on his birthday, and Ying Hong wasn't just spouting nonsense.
But if only Ying Zheng or a small group of people were watching, there would be no problem.
After all, one should not forget that Ying Zheng was also known as a 'tyrant' in the later generations. His boldness was not something that ordinary people could compare with.
"Oh, then I'll have to take a good look!”
Ying Zheng slightly raised his eyebrows and gave Ying Hong a deep look. Then, he really did as Ying Hong had said and walked down from the main seat to Ying Hong's side.
"Is this possible?"
Under the gazes of all the ministers, young masters, and guests, Ying Hong didn't get angry. Instead, he asked Ying Hong another question.
“... Your son will open the box and let Imperial Father take a look.”
The sudden gentleness of his cheapskate father, Ying Zheng, made Ying Hong tremble in fear. He dared not to say anything more, and hurriedly bent down to open the wooden box closest to him and Ying Zheng.
"Hmm?"
Before the lid of the box was fully opened, Ying Zheng could already smell a faint scent of blood.
When Ying Hong completely lifted the lid, Ying Zheng could see the contents of the box clearly.
"Dong dong dong…"
"Hahaha... Hahaha…"
To Ying Hong's surprise, after Ying Zheng finished looking at the first chest, he actually took action himself. He drew out the sword from his waist, and opened all the adjacent chests very quickly.
The items in these boxes were naturally the same as the first box. They were all heads.
Immediately after, Ying Zheng looked at these heads and burst out laughing crazily.
"Good stuff, good stuff!
This is the best congratulatory gift I have received today, hahaha…"
After a burst of laughter that stunned everyone except Ying Hong, Ying Zheng raised his head and looked around, pointing his sword at the wooden box and announcing to the crowd.
"Hong 'er, you just said that this congratulatory gift is not suitable for public display.
"But today, Imperial Father will tell you that there are no cowards in the Great Qin Empire.”
"Zhao Gao, open all these boxes for me!”
