late at night
When everyone had fallen asleep, Celestial Emperor Ying opened his eyes and looked at his mother, Xia Afang, who had fallen into a deep sleep.
"Bodyguards…they must be strong and hidden. That way, they can catch us off guard…"
Celestial Thearch Ying pondered in his mind but he really couldn't find a suitable candidate.
"Concealed…Powerful…Got it!”
Celestial Thearch Ying hurriedly communicated with the power of the Great Dao of Reincarnation in his body. Four silhouettes gradually solidified in the dark night.
When the four figures completely turned into physical bodies, Celestial Thearch Ying felt a sharp pain in his head.
With his current situation, he could only revive one person every year or so. His body could not bear the power of the Great Dao of Reincarnation. When his strength gradually increased in the future, the time would definitely be shorter and shorter.
"The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi pay their respects to Your Highness!”
Yes, these four people were the Xiangxi Four Ghosts from The World's Best High School. They were originally the bodyguards of the Ming Dynasty's richest man, Wan Sanqian. Later, they were killed by the Iron Gut Divine Marquis using the Power Absorption Technique.
However, the Phantom Divine Technique that the four of them cultivated was indeed powerful. The four of them were one and could split their internal energy. They usually hid in the shadows.
Their nemesis was only the Great Art of Energy Absorption and the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art. However, these two martial arts did not exist in this world, so Celestial Emperor Ying did not have to worry.
After being resurrected, the four of them also obtained a trace of the power of the Great Dao, and their strength reached the peak of the great grandmaster. The four of them could fight with Celestial Being Realm cultivators together.
However, Devas were extremely rare. In the entire Qin Shi Realm, Guigu 'zi was one, Daoist Beiming Zi was another, Confucian Xun Zi was another, and Yinyang School's Eastern Emperor Taiyi was another…
Perhaps there were still other Celestial Being powerhouses in this world who had hidden themselves from the world, but Celestial Emperor Ying knew about these few.
A martial grandmaster would be treated with respect no matter which country he went to. With the protection of the four ghosts of Xiangxi, there was no need to worry about his safety for the time being.
"Who is it?"
The voice of the Four Xiangxi Ghosts woke Xia Afang up. She subconsciously hugged Celestial Thearch Ying in her arms and looked at the Four Xiangxi Ghosts in the dark warily.
The current State of Qin was not stable, and there were many people who wanted their lives. Xia Afang and Ying Zheng had gone through so many hardships, so she was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that her son would also be in danger.
"Empress!"
Hearing the commotion inside, the palace maid outside called out softly.
How could the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi not know that this was a misunderstanding? They quickly whispered," Your Highness, we are here to protect the Crown Prince. You don't have to panic!”
"Empress?"
The palace maid outside shouted again.
"Yes…I'm fine!"
Xia Afang came back to his senses and quickly replied.
She thought that they were sent by Ying Zheng to protect them, and if the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi had any ill intentions, they would not have stayed silent for so long.
"Yes, sir!"
The palace maid outside also replied, but she turned around and called the guards around her over without alerting anyone. Then, she ran to inform Ying Zheng.
Those who were sent here by Ying Zheng to serve him were all his men, otherwise, he would not have been at ease. Therefore, he was immediately alert at the slightest sign of trouble.
……
"What did you say?"
Ying Zheng, who was reading the memorials, turned pale with fright, and rushed towards the rear palace with a group of guards.
"You said you are here to protect Tian 'er?”
"Is it the king's order?"
Xia Afang had not let down his guard yet. Ying Zheng had just succeeded the throne, so where did he get such a powerful warrior?
The Xiangxi Four Ghosts said," Your Highness, we were not sent by His Majesty, but we were indeed arranged to protect His Highness the Crown Prince. It is not convenient to tell you the reason now, but His Highness the Crown Prince will tell you in the future!”
With that, the four of them disappeared into the night.
"This…"
Xia Afang couldn't believe his eyes.
Right at this moment, the gate of the palace was pushed open, and Ying Zheng rushed in with his guards.
There were two young men beside him. They were Wang Ben, son of Wang Jian, and Meng Tian, son of Meng Ao. The two of them were sent to the palace to protect Ying Zheng.
"King, why are you here?"
Xia Afang heaved a sigh of relief, then carried Celestial Emperor Ying and walked to Ying Zheng's side.
"Are you alright? When I heard the report just now, I was almost scared to death!”
Seeing that both Xia Afang and his son were fine, Ying Zheng heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. We're fine, but…"
Xia Afang paused for a second and looked at Wang Ben and the others.
Ying Zheng immediately understood." You may leave first!"”
"Wang Ben and Meng Tian, stay!"
After ordering the guards to retreat, Ying Zheng left Wang Ben and Meng Tian behind.
These two people were loyal to him, and he could also use this opportunity to show his trust in them. It would be beneficial for him to rope in the Wang and Meng families.
"Thank you for your trust, King!"
As expected, the two of them were moved to tears by Ying Zheng's trust, and immediately knelt on the ground to express their loyalty.
"Hehe…the two of you are the future pillars of Great Qin, and I will need your help in the future. If I don't trust you, who should I trust?”
"Get up!"
Then, Xia Afang told them what he had just seen.
"Could it be that my son is really…"
Ying Zheng then turned to Wang Ben and Meng Tian and asked," Did you notice that there was someone else in the hall?”
However, Wang Ben and Meng Tian looked at each other," Your…Your Majesty…We didn't notice anyone else…"
The two of them could be considered outstanding figures among the younger generation, having reached the Connate Realm at such a young age. Otherwise, they would not have been so highly regarded by Ying Zheng.
"Could these four be Grandmasters? Or…"
To be able to avoid Wang Ben and Meng Tian's senses, he must be at least an Inborn Expert.
"Greetings, King!"
When the four of them did not notice, the Xiangxi Four Ghosts appeared again.
If he didn't explain it clearly, there might be misunderstandings in the future. The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi could only show themselves.
"King, be careful!"
Wang Ben and Meng Tian pulled out their swords and shielded Ying Zheng and Xia Afang behind them as if they were facing a great enemy.
Ying Zheng silently sized up the four of them, then said in a deep voice," I'm very curious. Who sent you here to protect Tian 'er?”
The Xiangxi Four Ghosts shook their heads." Your Majesty, we can't explain this matter to you for the time being. However, we are indeed here to protect the Crown Prince. You will know the rest in the future!”
Seeing that the four of them had not said anything, Ying Zheng had no choice but to inquire from the side.
"If you don't tell me, how can I be sure that you can protect Tian 'er?”
The Xiangxi Four Ghosts felt insulted.
"Your Majesty, we brothers are all peak martial grandmasters. With the four of us working together, we can even fight a deva. What else are you worried about?”
