"Speaking of which, Handan has been captured. As the main general and deputy general of the army, why are you staying here instead of accepting the surrender?" What puzzled Yan Yan even more was that Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe did not accept Zhao Qian's surrender, but actually stayed in the camp. This was somewhat disrespectful to King Zhao.

Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"We secretly sent people to dig three feet into the ground, but we still couldn't find Afangnu!" Yang Duanhe said in a low voice.

When the army captured Handan, they assigned their trusted men a secret mission, telling the entire army not to harm the people and to secretly search for the whereabouts of Afangnu.

If someone was blind and bullied the people after the city was broken, and happened to run into Afangnu, the consequences would be...

However, they dug deep into the ground in Handan but still couldn't find Afangnu.

However, this matter was the king's private affair, and they dared not come to him openly, otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives used Afang Girl to make trouble, they would also die a miserable death.

So before they found Afangnu, they didn't dare to accept the surrender.

Otherwise, after accepting the surrender, they would go to see Ying Zheng as soon as possible.

Then Ying Zheng asked, how should they answer.

So, this is a hot potato.

So the young and inexperienced Li Xin was thrown out to accept the surrender of Zhao State, under the pretext of taking care of the young people.

"You all know?" Yan Yan hesitated.

You guys are actually reading this kind of nonsense made up by novelists and believing it to be true?
When Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe heard Yan Yan's words, they shuddered. It turned out that this thing was true.

"Please say a few good words for us, Mr. Bing!" Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe requested in a low voice.

If Afang Girl cannot be found, then even if Handan falls and Zhao State is destroyed, it will still be incomplete.

With the fall of Handan and the demise of Zhao, the road for Qin to move eastward was completely opened. This should have been a great achievement in the military merit book, and it would not be an exaggeration for those who participated in the war to be promoted three levels.

But the size of the merit is actually determined by the King of Qin.

Originally they thought that if they captured Handan and destroyed the State of Zhao, everyone's future would be bright.

But now, since they couldn't find Afangnu, they felt that their military achievement would be greatly reduced.

Yan Yan looked at the expressions of Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe, and finally understood why these two guys suddenly invited him to drink. However, because of Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe's attitude, Yan Yan even began to doubt whether this Afang girl was a fictional creation of the novelist or really existed.

The most important thing is that if more people believe in something that didn't happen, it will become true.

Especially the group of novelists described Afangnu so well, as if she were the moon in the sky or a white lotus that emerges from the mud without being stained.

Did Ying Zheng also hope to have such a childhood sweetheart when he was in Handan?
This is really possible.

Ying Zheng's life was still very hard. He was born during the Battle of Changping and the Defense of Handan. One can imagine the situation of the mother and son in Handan.

Then he finally returned to Qin, but before he could enjoy his father's love, his father suddenly passed away. Then his younger brother was sentenced and his mother betrayed him.

Therefore, it is very likely that Ying Zheng really hoped to have such a childhood sweetheart in his youth.

"I'll go out for a while!" Thinking of this, Yan Yan left the Qin army camp.

Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Bingzhou's intelligence network in Handan was no smaller than theirs. In fact, because of the relationship with the Mohists, Bingzhou's intelligence in Zhao was more accurate than theirs.

"Go and find out if there was anyone who helped King Qin Zheng when he was in Handan, especially a woman of the same age as King Qin Zheng!" Yan Yan turned and ordered Mo Ya.

The State of Zhao must have hated Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng mother and son back then, but there must have been people who helped Ying Zheng.

For example, Yan Dan at the beginning. Although Yan Dan’s purpose in helping Ying Zheng was definitely not pure, for Ying Zheng, a favor is a favor, and he doesn’t need to care about the reasons behind it.

Therefore, when Yan Dan was a hostage in Qin, Ying Zheng treated him very well and did not restrict Yan Dan's actions, which gave Yan Dan the opportunity to escape from Qin.

"Is there really a girl named Afang?" Mo Ya was also a little surprised.

They seem to be the creators of this rumor, and they know better than anyone that this rumor was created by a group of fearless novelists.

"Maybe there wasn't one before, but there is one now!" Yan Yan said seriously.

Regardless of whether there was such a woman or not, as long as there was such a woman who gave Ying Zheng certain help when he was young, then with the blessing of the novelist, Ying Zheng would tacitly be included in the story.

For a king like Ying Zheng who wanted to conquer the world, having one more wife in the harem was not a big deal.

In particular, the Afang girl created by the novelist was of humble origin and would not affect the changes in the Qin harem.

Mo Ya nodded. He really didn't need a brain. He just had to complete the tasks assigned by his Lord. As for why, did he need to ask why for the Lord's orders?
However, the black crow returned soon.

"I met the Shadow Guard!" Mo Ya reported.

"Ah?" Yan Yan was also stunned. As Ying Zheng's personal bodyguard, the Shadow Guards were more mysterious than Luo Wang. Without Ying Zheng's orders, they would stay by Ying Zheng's side and be responsible for protection. How could they have run into Mo Ya?

"They seem to be looking for someone too!" Mo Ya continued.

"Ah?" Yan Yan frowned. Zhang Han was not a shrewd person like Hei Bai Xuan Jian, Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe. It was impossible for him to believe the rumors and mobilize the Shadow Secret Guards to find the so-called Afang Girl.

Then there is only one possibility that it was Ying Zheng who ordered Zhang Han to find him.

"Your Majesty, don't you find it strange that after the King of Qin returned to Qin, this old minister was so patient that he didn't act like a child. You have to know that King Zheng of Qin was only nine years old at that time!" Mo Ya reminded Yan Yan.

Some people may be born smart, but this intelligence also needs someone to guide them so that they can be used in the right way.

And who taught Ying Zheng during the nine years in Handan and made him so ambitious?

The most important thing is that Ying Zheng’s martial arts skills are actually not low. Although they are not as good as those of the younger generation of philosophers, they are not much worse.

Otherwise, according to the normal development of Qin's Moon, how could Ying Zheng dodge Jing Ke's fatal sword and give Gai Nie the opportunity to kill Jing Ke.

Therefore, when Ying Zheng was in Handan, there must have been a teacher who taught him martial arts and so on.

"We found out that there was once an old Chinese-Vietnamese man living in seclusion in Handan, and his residence was not far from the Wenming Hall in the Zhao Palace!" Mo Ya continued.

"So, you mean, someone taught King Qin when he was young!" Yan Yan also agreed with Mo Ya's guess.

If there was no one to teach him, even if Ying Zheng was known as the wisest emperor of all time, it would be difficult for him to use the right path.

"Yes, I asked Mohist school to check on the Zhongyue old man. He is indeed a strange man named Ji Hao. It is said that he is a distant descendant of the Zhou Dynasty and does not belong to any of the Hundred Schools of Thought. He is also unruly and unrestrained. Considering the character of the King of Qin, it is very possible that he was taught by Ji Hao." Mo Ya continued.
