Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 348 The reason for killing
  Meng Tian used Ying Zheng's seal to easily control the entire Pingyang Heavy Armor Army. Of course, it was only on the surface. For such an important and sophisticated army, the internal distribution of power was a big problem, and it could not be determined by a simple royal order. of.

But now that Wang Ye was trying to rebel and was being punished, no one would stand up to Meng Tian and deliberately get into trouble.

The theory Meng Tian gave to the outside world was that Wang Yan intended to assassinate the envoy and falsely conveyed the king's order, but he received the king's secret letter to kill the rebels and held the seal as proof.

Ying Zheng was not mentioned in the entire speech. He remained hidden behind the scenes and did not expose his identity to the sun.

He took advantage of Wang Yan's affairs to insert Meng Tian into the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army. It was considered a perfect chess piece. The rest depends on how far Meng Tian can go. He, the king who has not yet been crowned and in power He can't do more. Risky exposure of his identity will only cause trouble for him when he returns to the capital.

Next, Ying Zheng and his party will leave Wu Sui and continue towards Xianyang.

Meng Tian proposed to send his own personal guards to escort Ying Zheng, but he refused.

He only has a hundred personal soldiers, which is of no significance at all.

The night before leaving, Ying Zheng approached Gu Xun alone.

In Ying Zheng's tent, the two men sat opposite each other, with a candle placed in the middle.

Ying Zheng's face was full of solemnity, and he obviously wanted to talk to Gu Xun about something very important.

"Mr. Gu, Wang Ye was defeated before. I wanted to ask him something, but unfortunately he ended it on his own before I mentioned it."

"Well..." Gu Xun curled his lips and roughly guessed what the other party wanted to ask, "So Mr. Shang is looking for me?"

"I would like to ask, sir, does he know the answer to this question?" Ying Zheng leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Gu Xun. His eyes were not piercing, but firm.

He had long begun to suspect that Gu Xun knew the answer to his doubts. Before that, he, Gai Nie, and Li Si had occasionally talked about this matter, and they had always been puzzled. Gu Xun, who was listening on the side, often looked strange. .

But Ying Zheng never asked Gu Xun - since the other party knew that he was doubtful but didn't answer, he must have his own considerations, so he didn't force it.

After his attempt to get an answer from Wang Ye failed this time, he decided to formally ask Gu Xun. Still not forcing it, it was best to get an answer. If Gu Xun still didn't want to answer, he wouldn't press for it.

After all, this problem will be clarified sooner or later after returning to Xianyang.

"I want to know why Lu Buwei is eager to kill me?" Ying Zheng asked the biggest doubt in his heart.

He always felt that the relationship between him and his father-in-law was nothing more than a power struggle. Although the power struggle can be said to be the most dangerous thing in the world, crueler and even more fierce than a real war, the two of them have not yet risked their lives. the point.

Just like his previous view of Wang Ye, Lu Buwei had no reason to do this.

To be honest, he was a little worried that Lu Buwei's reason for killing him was as nonsense as Wang Ye's.

Gu Xun twitched the corners of his mouth, hesitating a little. After all, it involves his own mother's affair, which... is not easy to say...

Ying Zheng could see that Gu Xun was hesitating. He didn't understand why. Logically speaking, the matter between him and Lu Buwei should not involve Gu Xun.

However, Ying Zheng did not try to rush Gu Xun, but waited silently for the other party to make a decision.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Xun decided to tell him to forget it.

If only he knew about this kind of private scandal, it would undoubtedly be a troublesome matter. Who knows if Ying Zheng would have some less harmonious thoughts because of this, but Zhao Ji's affair will probably spread all over the world in a short time.

If there are dozens or millions of people who know about it, then it doesn't matter.

"I can tell you, Mr. Shang, but you have to agree to my request." Gu Xun first made a condition.

"Oh, please tell me, sir." Ying Zheng did not hesitate... he did not agree, but just asked him to state the conditions first.

Gu Xun waggled a finger and said with a smile:

"It's very simple, just don't ask me how I know."

"...Of course it's no problem." Upon hearing it was so simple, Ying Zheng certainly had no reason not to agree.

He had no intention of exploring where Gu Xun's information came from.

"Okay, then I'll tell you..." Gu Xun sighed and slowly told the reason for Lu Buwei's murderous intention. In fact, Gu Xun did not have a conclusive answer, but relying on his meager historical knowledge, he could roughly guess that it must be because of the trouble between Zhao Ji and the Wheel-turning King.

According to historical facts, Zhao Ji gave birth to two sons for Lao Ai. Later, when Ying Zheng was crowned in the Qinian Palace, Lao Ai rebelled and planned to kill Ying Zheng and support his son to ascend the throne.

So the brain circuit of a fool is really strange. Even if Ying Zheng dies, the courtiers and the royal family will definitely support his eldest son Fusu to ascend to the throne. What does it have to do with those two scoundrels of yours?
  Do you think you can withstand the counterattack of the entire Qin royal family? Or do you think you can use your poor brain to convince the Qin royal family and the courtiers that the two children born to Zhao Ji are the offspring of his mother, King Zhuang Xiang?

The grass on people's graves is taller than the people!

It’s simply unreasonable!
  Ying Zheng also carries rumors about his improper bloodline, but he is King Zhuang Xiang, and Ying Yiren, or Ying Zichu, personally acknowledges his royal bloodline. The rumors can only be rumors. As long as King Zhuang Xiang is not crazy and not a fool, Then Ying Zheng cannot have anything to do with Lu Buwei.

No matter how you put it, Lu Buwei is now completely trapped in the wheel-turning king.

Without killing Ying Zheng, it would be inconvenient for him to deal with Lao Ai. If the noise got a little louder and Ying Zheng noticed the truth of the matter, he would end up like GG Smecta.

……

Gai Nie and Li Si, who were guarding outside the tent, discovered that not long after Gu Xun entered, the figure representing Ying Zheng in the tent suddenly stood up and started smashing the surroundings, as if to vent his anger.

Based on Ying Zheng's behavior, Gai and Nie judged that the other party was almost furious and frustrated.

Ge Nie has known Ying Zheng for two years. During this period, the other party's power has always been restricted by Lu Buwei and other power groups. It is difficult to do anything he wants to do, but he has never seen Ying Zheng so angry.

What exactly did Gu Xun say?
  This doubt appeared in their minds at the same time.

Unfortunately, the inside of the camp seemed to have been taken care of by Gu Xun. The two of them couldn't hear a sound. Ying Zheng didn't call them, and they couldn't take the initiative to go in. They could only watch from outside.

When the wind subsided and the rain subsided, Ying Zheng completely stopped his movements and sat back in his seat.

However, he had always been sitting upright and serious, but his figure was a little skewed at this time, and it was obvious that the manic depression in his heart had not yet been vented.

Gu Xun got up and left the camp.

After going out, he said to Gai Nie:

"You can go in."

Then he left without saying anything and went back to his tent.

The two hurriedly walked into the camp. Ying Zheng was sitting on the main seat like a shadow seen from outside, his eyes were closed, his face was livid, his clothes and hair were a little messy, presumably from venting his anger just now.

They didn't know anything about the situation now and didn't dare to ask rashly. They just bowed and said, "Mr. Shang."

"Huh..." Ying Zheng exhaled heavily and opened his eyes.

At this time, his eyes were filled with murderous intent and rage, and bloodshot eyes faintly appeared.

Gai Nie and Li Si felt awe-struck in their hearts - when their master learned about Wang Yan's nonsense reason for rebellion, the anger in his heart was probably not as intense as that of Eleven now!
  "Start tomorrow and drive all the way to Xianyang as soon as possible!"

Ying Zheng's voice rang in their ears, with a cold murderous intent in his tone, as if a biting cold wind was blowing on people, making people shudder...

　Let’s talk about the update. I promised to pay off the debt by the 7th, and I can’t even do it anymore.

　　Something unexpected happened and I suddenly had a lot of extra work, which I estimate I will have to do until the end of the month.

　　During this period, we can still only maintain the basic two updates. As for the third update... let it go.

　　But since I have promised to update 150,000 words this month, I will still try my best to achieve it.

　　After about the 20th, I will almost be able to finish the extra work, and then I will work overtime and stay up late to try to make up for it.

　　Anyway, it’s just fifteen more chapters...
