Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 163
A total of 25 troops were sent to attack Zhao this time.

Troops were dispatched from the Lishan and Bashang battalions respectively.

Although it is said that Huanju failed to defend Hangu before, in the eyes of Yingzheng, he is still a general worthy of use. Moreover, what is rare is that he has no background behind him, is alone and loyal to himself. Such a person is the most comfortable to use .

This is also the reason why he can still serve as the deputy general of the Qin army when he attacked Zhao this time.

But on the eve of the army's assembly and preparation for departure, a happy event happened in the champion's mansion.

The startled salamander gave birth to a daughter.

All that came out of the room were the crying sounds of the baby girl, which was pleasant to the ears.

This seemed to be a kind of majestic vitality, which instantly made the whole Hou Mansion busy.

Ying Yuan and Tian Zhen personally congratulated her.

The startled salamander has a solid foundation in martial arts, and even after giving birth to a child, it still looks alive and well, without the slightest sense of weakness.

However, even so, she still lay on the bed well-behaved to recuperate, watching Ying Yuan and the others kept hugging their children and laughing happily, she suddenly realized that, it seems, this is a kind of "home" Feel.

"Lord Hou."

When Ying Yuan was holding the baby girl and thinking of how to make her happy, Jing Xi seemed to think of something, and called him without even thinking about it.

But then, she regretted it a little.

You shouldn't have spoken at this time.

Ying Yuan looked at her with a strange expression, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"I"

The startled salamander hesitated to speak, not knowing how to speak.

"Is there something unspeakable?"

Ying Yuan frowned.

The startled salamander nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Tian Zhen and Suzaku left here wisely.

When there were only the two of them and the little baby in the room, Ying Yuan asked, "What's the matter, it's okay to speak up."

The startled salamander lowered his head, as if he was a little ashamed to say this.

Seeing her expression, Ying Yuan suddenly became interested, "Could it be that the startled salamander, who used to kill people like hemp in the past, would also be baffled by some words? This doesn't seem to be your character."

The startled salamander bit her lip lightly, not daring to look at Ying Yuan, just because what she was going to say was indeed a bit difficult to say.

Ying Yuan lost his patience, "If you don't say anything, this Marquis will leave."

Hearing the sound, the startled salamander raised his head quickly, and immediately lowered his head after seeing his eyes, feeling like a deer bumping in his heart.

In the end, she mustered up a lot of courage and blurted out, "Can this child be named Ying?"

She knew her request was too much.

However, she just wanted the child to live a better life in the future.

She will repay Ying Yuan with her life for this.

In the state of Qin, not everyone can have the surname Ying.

And this child, since the surname is Ying in the Qin State, will be respected by many people in the future, not to mention, she is still from the Champion Hou's Mansion?

Everything Jing Xi did was for this child, but at the same time, she understood that after doing this, she would owe Ying Yuan more, and even her whole life would not be finished.

However, she will pay back slowly, using her body and life to serve Ying Yuan all her life, and she will not hesitate to be an ox or a horse.

"You mean to record her name in my Great Qin Clan?"

Ying Yuan frowned even tighter.

This is simply impossible.

In order to ensure the authenticity of the blood of the Daqin clan, it is absolutely not allowed to have other people's sons recorded by the clan.

Even if it is a woman, it is absolutely unbelievable.

It is impossible for the Marquis of Guannei who is in charge of the clan's genealogy to agree to this matter, and the real head of the clan, Ying Zheng, will not agree either.

He is not the one who can decide this matter. If he sets a precedent for this baby today, will others be able to do it in the future?

If things go on like this, I'm afraid the clan will be in chaos long ago.

"it's not true."

Jingxi hurriedly said: "Just let her surname be Ying. Lord Hou, Jingxi kowtows to you. From now on, our mother and daughter will definitely serve Lord Hou for the rest of their lives. If it weren't for this oath, we would be punished by heaven and earth."

She solemnly stood up and bowed down.

Ying Yuan quickly helped her up, and said flatly: "It doesn't matter if the surname is Ying. This matter is up to me. Of course, I didn't do this for you, but because I really like this child. Benhou Let her live well without worrying about food and clothing, as for you, take good care of your body now."

Then he walked out of the room.

And the startled salamander was already in tears.

Holding her child, she murmured to herself, "Yingyan, do you like this name? You will definitely be proud of this surname in the future."

Two days later.

Wang Jian led the army to set off, passing through Xianyang, and accepted the inspection by Ying Zheng.

When leaving Xianyang, Ying Yuan saw him off for dozens of miles.

On the way, they chatted a lot with their master and apprentice.

"Do you know why the king didn't order your generals for this expedition?" Wang Jian asked while stroking his beard.

Ying Yuan relayed to Wang Jian verbatim what Ying Zheng had said to him in Zhangtai Palace.

But he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In the past few years, you have helped the king do a lot of things, such as Lu Buwei, Li Mu, etc., all of which can be said to have died at your hands, and made great contributions to Daqin. But these contributions are too great. You are so old that the king no longer knows how to reward you.

Do things in the future, don't be sharp and aggressive, otherwise you will harm others and yourself. Although you are the king's younger brother, you are also a courtier of the Qin State. Do you understand what your teacher said? "

Ying Yuan nodded, "I was too focused on fame and fortune before, but in the future, I will restrain myself."

In fact, he has been thinking about this question for the past few days.

"Going to Zhao country now, I don't know what to do as a teacher. I don't know how far I have to fight before I can give up."

Wang Jian's eyes showed sadness.

As a veteran general, he shouldn't be worried, but the main reason is that he doesn't know Ying Zheng's intentions.

"Even if you are a teacher, you only captured three or five cities in this campaign, and you are still meritorious."

Ying Yuan smiled.

He wasn't worried about any danger Wang Jian would encounter during this trip.

Even Lian Po could barely defend in front of Wang Jian.

What's more, there are Huanjuan and Yang Duanhe's assistants on this trip.

They talked a lot along the way, but most of them were about current affairs.

It was getting late.

Wang Jian stood with his hands behind his back and said, "There is one more thing. I know you don't like Huanju, but he is someone the king values. Don't go against him in the future. Otherwise, the king will think too much about it."

Ying Yuan bowed in a deep voice, "Thank you teacher for reminding me."

He got up and continued: "However, when we go to attack Zhao, we must not rely on this person too much. When the Xianyang Palace changed that night, this person's thoughts were heavy, which really impressed the students. Teacher should pay more attention to it."

"All right!"

Wang Jian laughed loudly, put it on, mounted his horse, and said with a smile, "Go back."

After the words fell, he walked away.

Ying Yuan returned to Xianyang.

In recent days, due to the shock of giving birth to a daughter, Champion Hou's Mansion is much more lively than usual.

But when Ying Zheng found out about this, he was a little angry, and even said to Gai Nie, "Hmph! A bastard who doesn't know where it came from, is also worthy of the surname Ying?"

The latter bowed in response, "My Majesty, the baby girl born to the startled salamander should be Wei Wuji's child."

Ying Zheng didn't say much, but continued to immerse himself in government affairs.
