"Reporting, Your Majesty, the Han army is already fighting with the Dong Zhou army outside the city.”
Amidst the purple clouds, the King of Wei stood on his chariot and looked into the distance, full of vigor.
"Good, I knew that this Korean was not honest. Let them fight, let them fight!”
The King of Wei had a sinister smile on his face. Dongzhou only had a few cities left, and there was no need to help. It was better to take a bite himself and not let Qin monopolize the benefits.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Not long after, just as the Han army was about to enter the city, the Wei army arrived.
……
"General, the Han army and Wei army are fighting outside the city.”
At the Qin country's camp, a spy quickly reported back.
Lu Buwei's expression was serious as he waved his hand." Try again."”
"Yes!"
"What do you think of the result of this battle, Young Master?”
On the chariot, Lu Buwei turned around and looked at Ying Zheng with a smile.
Speaking of which, with his relationship with Ying Zichu, as well as the fact that he was familiar with Lady Zhao, it was fine for him to address her as Zheng 'er. Instead, it would make their relationship even closer.
But for some reason, when he saw Ying Zheng's dark eyes, even someone like Lu Buwei felt that he could not get close to him.
Lu Buwei had been paying close attention to Ying Zheng's news. After all, he was also Ying Zheng's teacher.
He was very clear about Ying Zheng's learning ability.
Back then, Ying Zheng had spent a month deep in the fields, and then he had come up with a design that could affect the entire agricultural world, which had shocked even Lu Buwei.
However, after living with him for half a year, although Ying Zheng treated him with great respect, he did not feel any real closeness to him, and he could not even guess what the other party was thinking.
There seemed to be a wall between the two of them.
"It seems that this child only trusts Zhao Ji now!”
Lu Buwei thought to himself. He only thought that Ying Zheng's experience in Handan had made him wary of anyone at such a young age, so he did not think too much about it.
"Perhaps I should contact Concubine Zhao more after I return.”
Lu Buwei did not reveal his thoughts, but continued to look at Ying Zheng.
"The Han Wei alliance army is truly a joke. The King of Han and the King of Wei only care about these small benefits. However, such a ruler is a good thing for our Qin country.”
"Hahahaha! It was indeed so, but unfortunately, he could not see the current state of the monarch and minister of Dong Zhou who had learned of this news.”
"Trash!"
"Stupid!"
"At a time like this, you're actually still fighting for two cities. Is your vision so narrow?”
In Dong Zhou Palace, Dong Zhou Jun threw the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground in exasperation. His face was filled with despair." The heavens want me dead!”
……
Lu Buwei began to mobilize his troops again.
There weren't many battles on this march. Time was wasted on the road and governance.
It was only a day's journey from the capital.
Right now, Great Qin was using its soldiers to rule, and it was upright and upright.
Dong Zhou was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
With the army by their side, the so-called assassins dared not approach.
Facing such a huge army, even if a Grandmaster was surrounded, he would only die.
Moreover, there were not many Grandmasters in the world today.
Qin Country had its own rules when it came to war. Even if he was a young master, he could not make the decision.
Therefore, he was completely a tool for this trip.
But even so, the Qin army was greatly boosted by the Qin King's son, Jian Jun, and all the elite soldiers of Great Qin understood that the Qin King was on their side, which greatly increased their loyalty.
At the same time, because of Ying Zheng and Meng Wu's presence, Lu Buwei did not want to rope in too many generals.
……
After chatting with Lu Buwei for a while, Ying Zheng returned to his carriage.
In fact, Ying Zheng had his own plans for participating in the destruction of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Firstly, he wanted to stabilize the position of his Qin State. Secondly, he wanted to establish his prestige in the army, just like Lu Buwei. At the same time, he wanted to restrict Lu Buwei and weaken his control over the army as much as possible.
Political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Therefore, Ying Zheng's idea was very simple. As long as Lu Buwei could not reach the Qin army, no matter how powerful he was, he would be able to solve the problem with just a decree from him.
……
"How are you doing with Young Master Zheng?"
Lu Buwei's indifferent voice came from the carriage.
Beside the carriage, there was a man wearing a mask and a fish-scaled leather armor. It was none other than the Startling Salamander.
"…Very calm."
Startling Salamander thought for a moment before answering.
This was because she had never encountered any assassins other than in Yong City.
After all, it was not easy to assassinate the Great Qin Young Master. The first time was an accident, but the second time was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Moreover, Ying Zheng had never left Xianyang before this.
As the capital city of Great Qin, no one dared to be impudent.
"Ha, I hope that being by his side didn't wear off your spirit. An assassin without spirit has no value in existence!”
Lu Buwei chuckled, his voice cold.
"Understood!"
The Startling Salamander lowered its head slightly and said solemnly.
This period of time, when she had been following Ying Zheng, was the most relaxing period of her life.
Because there was no one around Ying Zheng to urge her to cultivate, practice martial arts, or learn all kinds of skills.
Just when the Startling Salamander thought that it was going to be transferred back, Lu Buwei gave another order." Continue to follow him. I can't see through this kid. You will be my eyes. Keep an eye on him and see what he does. If you find anything important, report back immediately."”
The Startling Salamander's body stiffened slightly, and it immediately replied,""Understood!"
"I hope you really understand!"
"You're not the only spy around him. I hope you can recognize your identity and who you belong to!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage sped up, leaving Startling Salamander alone in a daze.
The eyes under the mask revealed confusion.
In the past few months, although Ying Zheng did not treat her very well, she had already enjoyed the ease of being by his side. She did not have to scheme against each other, and she did not have to work hard to complete her tasks.
But now…
It seemed like he was about to make a change.
The Startling Salamander didn't resist. It had been trained for thirteen years since it was young, and it was deeply ingrained in its mind that it couldn't disobey Lu Buwei's orders.
Killers had no emotions, and they did not need emotions.
Killers did not need freedom.
She did not have the right to choose.
After returning to Ying Zheng's side, the Startling Salamander did not show any signs of abnormality.
Camouflage was one of the skills she learned in the Network.
And now, it was finally used by Ying Zheng.
"Startling Salamander, is there something on your mind?"
After accompanying him for a few months, even though the Startling Salamander was wearing a mask and his face could not be seen clearly, Ying Zheng still felt something.
Ying Zheng was very interested in the Startling Salamander.
After all, he was undoubtedly a genius, and following Lu Buwei would be a waste of his talent.
However, the concept of standing tall and solemn since young was deeply rooted, and it was not so easy to change. Therefore, Ying Zheng had never shown any closeness to him.
A person like Jingli, who had a closed heart, needed to walk out of her seclusion herself. Only then could she directly capture her heart and be loyal.
Being anxious would only ruin things.
The comfortable environment that Ying Zheng had been living in for the past thirteen years, in contrast to the environment that the Startling Salamander had been living in, had created a conflict between herself and herself in her heart.
Hearing Ying Zheng's sudden question, the Startling Salamander felt a rare sense of panic.
She did not know whether it was because her disguise had been discovered, or because she did not want Ying Zheng to have a grudge against her.
"I…"
Startling Salamander wanted to speak, but she did not know what to say. She did not want to deceive Ying Zheng.
"Since you still don't know how to say it, then don't say it first. When you want to tell me, then tell me.”
Ying Zheng did not ask further, which made the Startling Salamander heave a sigh of relief.
