"Not bad."
Lu Buwei smiled and nodded." The salamander was raised to inherit the Startling Salamander Sword. However, the sword has yet to be found, and the net has been searching for it.”
"Yes, we must search carefully. Zheng 'er's guards must be equipped with good swords to protect my son better.”
Ying Zichu nodded slightly and gave the order.
"Yes!"
Lu Buwei bowed slightly, then stood up and shouted at the door," Salamander, come in!”
"Yes."
A slightly immature but cold and heartless voice came from under the mask.
At this moment, the guards outside the door also came quickly." Crown Prince, Madam and Young Master are back."”
"Quickly let them in."
Ying Zichu immediately waved his hand and said.
"Husband, sir."
Seeing that Lu Buwei was also in the hall, Lady Zhao's eyes flickered and she bowed slightly.
"Father."
Ying Zheng bowed slightly as well, his gaze sweeping over Lu Buwei as he nodded slightly, his cold face looking rather aloof.
But soon, he noticed the cold figure in front of him.
The person did not look very old. His shoulders were covered with fish-scale leather armor that looked like a wire mesh. He wore a silver mask on his face. From behind, one could only see a touch of white skin.
"Beloved wife, this is an expert that Sir specially found for Zheng 'er to protect him.”
Ying Zichu smiled as he held Lady Zhao's hand and happily introduced her.
"Protect Zheng 'er?"
Zhao Ji glanced at the masked girl in front of her suspiciously." She doesn't look old. Can she protect Zheng 'er?"”
Then, she looked at Lu Buwei and said sternly,""If you have experts under you, don't hide them!”
This concerned her son's safety, so she had to be careful.
"Madam, don't worry. Although Jingli is only thirteen years old, she is extremely talented and has been taught by an expert since she was young. Her martial arts are not inferior to the first class in the world. Moreover, because she is still young, ordinary people will not be wary of her and will be able to protect Young Master better.”
"Beloved wife, trust Sir."
Ying Zichu patted the back of Lady Zhao's hand and consoled her.
Concubine Zhao's expression gradually eased up as she bowed slightly." It was Concubine Zhao who was too anxious to love her son. That's right. After all, Sir is the person who introduced me to the Crown Prince. Furthermore, Sir has carried Zheng 'er before, so he will definitely help Zheng' er.”
"Young Master is the Crown Prince's Di son, and as the Crown Prince's Residence's Guest Official, Buwei will naturally help the Crown Prince handle everything.”
"Moreover, three days later, Young Master and Furen will return to Yong City's ancestral temple to worship their ancestors, and they will need experts to accompany them.”
Lu Buwei still had a smile on his face. After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the Startling Salamander and said sternly,""Salamander, from now on, your mission is to protect the young master and stay close to him. If the young master is injured, there is no need for you to come back!”
"Yes, Salamander!"
The young girl lowered her head slightly. Her voice was cold, but it was also filled with determination.
"Crown Prince, Furen, I will take my leave!”
Seeing the Startling Salamander's reply, Lu Buwei bowed slightly and asked to leave.
"Sir, take care."
Ying Zichu held Lady Zhao's hand and nodded slightly.
After Lu Buwei left, Lady Zhao turned to the young girl." Take off your mask."”
The Startling Salamander glanced at Lady Zhao and hesitated.
This made Lady Zhao raise her eyebrows in dissatisfaction.
"Anyone who sees you like this will know that you're protecting me. Moreover, I haven't even seen your face. If I meet you in the future, won't I be easily mistaken for an assassin?”
Ying Zheng also looked at the Startling Salamander with a smile.
The moment he saw the Startling Salamander, he knew that this world was becoming more and more complicated.
After all, in his dream, he seemed to have possessed someone and watched some so-called anime. The Startling Salamander was similar to what he saw in his dream.
……
"Yes."
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, the Startling Salamander finally reacted.
Because she was only responsible for protecting Ying Zheng, she only listened to him.
At least, that was the case before Lu Buwei gave another order.
Her voice was still cold. After she finished speaking, she took off her bronze mask, revealing a beautiful face that was young but cold.
He had trained her since she was young, making her like a machine, cold and heartless.
However, her appearance had a hint of weakness. The two opposing temperaments gathered together and were full of contradictions.
"It's indeed a girl!"
When Ying Zichu saw this face, he was stunned at first, then he nodded his head with a satisfied expression," Mister is very thoughtful.”
"With Dong 'er and the Startling Salamander around, one of them will serve Zheng' er while the other will protect him.”
Zhao Ji also nodded slightly, her expression satisfied and joyful.
The current Zhao Ji was very simple and pure. She just wanted to ensure her son's status.
She already knew that Ying Zichu had a wife and son in Xianyang. Furthermore, he was from Han Country and was a princess with a noble status. In terms of background, he completely crushed her, a poor merchant family and a commoner girl who was born as a dancer.
Therefore, she felt threatened now. Not only was she threatened, but more importantly, her son's status.
Now that Lu Buwei was so considerate to send such an expert, naturally, Lady Zhao was very satisfied and happy.
In fact, Lu Buwei didn't want the Startling Salamander to be exposed.
The Startling Salamander was the most talented among his subordinates. It could be imagined that it might enter the Grandmaster Realm in a few years and become the sharpest sword in his hand.
He had originally wanted to arrange various identities for him to complete some advantageous secret missions before the Startling Salamander showed up, until his identity was exposed.
But now, they had to change their strategy because of Ying Zheng's appearance.
Cultivation was divided into third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, super-first-rate, grandmaster, and great grandmaster.
Among them, the first-class was already a famous expert in the world. Many people could not reach it even in their thirties or forties. As for the grandmaster, they were experts who were enough to establish a sect.
The Startling Salamander was only thirteen years old, but it had already reached the level of a first-class master. Even though Lu Buwei had set up a network and controlled countless assassins, there were not many who could reach the first-class realm, especially one who could reach the level of a grandmaster. There was only one person so far.
However, Ying Zheng's arrogant words earlier had caused a much bigger commotion than he had imagined.
One could imagine that even if the rulers of the six states did not care about these words, their secret departments would not leave this threat behind. At that time, countless assassins would come.
Apart from that, Xianyang was not peaceful either. Although Ying Zichu was crowned as the Crown Prince, the King of An, who was also the current King of Qin, had many sons. Now, he was only borrowing the power of Madam Hua Yang.
However, it was impossible for Madam Hua Yang to be on the same side as him forever. Since Ying Zichu's identity had been confirmed, then the next contest would naturally be carried out among Ying Zichu's descendants.
Ying Zichu only had two sons, the eldest son Ying Zheng and the second son Cheng Jiao.
Ying Zheng's mother was Lady Zhao. She was born in an ordinary family and did not have any maternal support. Moreover, she had a close relationship with him and was easier to control.
However, the second son, Cheng Jiao, was different. His mother was the princess of Han Country, and behind her was the Chu faction controlled by Empress Dowager Hua Yang. He had to be careful.
For the sake of his future position, he could only reluctantly send out the Startling Salamander.
Because of Ying Zheng's mishap, Lady Zhao's position would also be unstable. If Ying Zheng's position was stable, he would be able to cooperate with Lady Zhao. With Lady Zhao beside Ying Zichu, he would naturally be as stable as Mount Tai and realize his ambition.
Just as he had said before, the Startling Salamander was still young, so it was easier for it to hide beside Ying Zheng, making it easier for others to guard against it, and at the same time, it could better protect Ying Zheng.
Lu Buwei felt a headache when he thought about how this mother and son pair had caused him so much trouble as soon as they arrived in Xianyang.
"I can't be the only one with a headache. The Yin-Yang School should also help.”
In the carriage, Lu Buwei thought to himself.
He had painstakingly pulled the Yin-Yang School into Great Qin's camp, and it was also possible that the Yin-Yang School had only used him to enter Great Qin's camp. However, the two sides had some interactions.
