The sudden change caused Zhao Shi's expression to change. She became even more panicked and couldn't help but step back."Young Master, why are you doing this?"
"Mother, there's no need to panic."”
After saying that, he bowed to Lu Changqiu, which was the standard etiquette of the Great Zhou nobles.
With just this bow, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
"Chief Escort Lu, you have good eyesight."”
"Young man isn't simple either." Lu Changqiu snorted.”
"I wonder how Chief Escort saw through it?"”
"Ordinary mountain bandits would never be able to withstand my sword qi. From this, I can conclude that these mountain bandits are assassins in disguise.”
"Moreover, their attire is too clumsy. They are clearly skilled, but they are dressed in rags.”
"How could a bandit with such strength end up in such a miserable state?”
"The killer deliberately pretended to be a mountain bandit and came for you and your son because he didn't want their origins to be known.”
"If you don't want others to know, it means that you're either afraid of revenge or the consequences of killing you are very serious.”
"No matter how I judge it, your identities are not simple!”
The young man was surprised and murmured,""You can see the signs from the small details. Chief Escort Lu is indeed not simple!”
"Since that's the case, I'll speak frankly.”
"I am the grandson of King Xiaowen of Qin, the son of King Zhuang Xiang of Qin, Ying Zheng!”
It turned out that he was the one emperor of the ages. No wonder his bearing was so extraordinary.
When he had just transmigrated, Ying Zheng and his mother were in the State of Zhao as hostages.
They had appeared in Qixia Town because they had returned from Zhao State and were assassinated on their way to Xianyang, resulting in the loss of all their guards.
Lu Changqiu kept his sword and asked,"Who is the assassin?"”
" Qi, Chu, Wei, Han, Yan," Ying Zheng sighed slightly." All of them are possible."”
"They even wanted to kill us!”
"Why?"
Ying Zheng: " This return is an agreement between the State of Zhao and the State of Qin. Moreover, the State of Zhao has the responsibility of protecting the country.”
"If we die, Zhao will be blamed. Father will be furious and send troops to attack Handan.”
"At that time, the other countries will benefit.”
"Your father isn't that stupid, is he?"”
" If that had not happened," Ying Zheng sighed slightly," Father would not have suspected Zhao so easily.”
"Sigh, on the way back, we were once assassinated by Prince Yan of the Zhao Kingdom. Although Prince Yan failed in the end and was repelled by the guards sent by the King of Zhao, he was still alive.”
"However, Great Qin's envoy was present at the time, and he sent a horse to deliver the news back to Xianyang.”
"In this way, no matter who kills us, the Zhao Kingdom will never be able to clear their name.”
Lu Changqiu shook his head. This Prince Yan of the State of Zhao was really a muddle-headed and incompetent person.
No wonder he married a prostitute and became the laughing stock of historians.
After some thought, Lu Changqiu said,""In my opinion, we should add one more country to the five.”
Ying Zheng's mother, Lady Zhao, was slightly stunned.""Which country?"
"Qin Country!"
"Impossible!" Why would Qin harm us?"
Lu Changqiu sneered." Sometimes, the enemy doesn't come from the outside, but from the inside. And this kind of enemy is often the most terrifying!"”
Ying Zheng's brows were tightly knitted together. After pondering for a while, he muttered to himself,""A power struggle?"
Smart!
He was only twelve or thirteen years old, yet he had such wisdom.
No wonder he was the one emperor in history!
"If that's the case, we can't go to Dai County."”
Lu Changqiu nodded." If I'm not wrong, you want to go to Dai County to find General Wang Yi and ask him to send troops to escort you back to Xianyang."”
"But who can guarantee that Wang Yi won't harm you?”
"Not only can we not go to Dai County, but we also have to hide our tracks along the way. Even if we enter Great Qin's territory, we cannot reveal our identities.”
" What?" Ying Zheng's face changed slightly." From what Chief Escort Lu said, you want to continue escorting?"”
Lu Changqiu chuckled.”
According to the system rules, the more valuable the escort item, the more generous the reward.
With the status of Ying Zheng and his son, the reward would definitely not be small!
The two of them were much more valuable than the Tianmo Zither!
The generous rewards were right in front of him, so how could he let them go?
However, the mission this time was really a storm that swept through the seven countries…
Ying Zheng's eyes were solemn as he said in a deep voice,""Thank you."
"We shouldn't stay here for long. We should leave immediately and travel through the night.”
After saying that, Lu Changqiu took out his golden needles and changed the faces of the mother and son before driving away.
......
At the same time, on the peak of a certain mountain.
A white-robed man stood with his hands behind his back and looked ahead.
His clothes were white, but his skin and face were even whiter. There was no trace of blood on his body, and his entire person was emitting endless coldness.
Suddenly, several figures flew over from afar and landed behind the white-robed man.
There were a total of three people. One of them was burly and had a dense aura. His incomparably tall figure was like a small mountain.
One of them was skinny, with purple skin, pointy ears, and monkey-like cheeks. Purple qi swirled around his body, emitting a strange aura.
The last person was a graceful and delicate woman.
The woman was dressed in black with fiery red patterns embedded on it, like dancing flames.
A woman's appearance could be said to be peerless!
There were six fiery red hairpins on her long black hair, making her look enchanting.
A pair of blue eyes gave off a deep and psychedelic feeling, as if one could not fathom the thoughts of this woman.
Her temperament was even more different.
The nimbleness of water and the charm of fire fused perfectly on this woman's body.
It was as if there was a fire of passion hidden under her cold face.
It was really shocking. There was such a beautiful woman in the world?
They were none other than the Red-Browed Dragon Snake, Tian Ze's subordinates, Yan Lingji, Wushuang Ghost, and a character that had never appeared in the original novel, Violet Ghost.
The man in white said without turning his head,"You're here."”
"What do you want to talk about?”
The man in white waved his arm and a scroll flew out of his hand and landed in front of the woman.""Kill them."
"After this is done, I will release your leader.”
