Chapter 174: Suspicion is hard to dispel
Back then, there was no shortage of guests present who knew about it, especially Zhao Zhengyi, everyone knew that this statue was the prince's biological mother, Lu Buwei's sister-in-law Zhao Ji. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the big ceremony, the statue was carefully carried away, the guests entered the banquet, and Zhao Zheng also had to walk on a table to toast.
"Uncle, Zheng'er respects you."
When he walked to LΓΌ Buwei, Zhao Zheng obviously felt that he was a little absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind. But it was by no means Lu Jiao's marriage, last time he sent Lu Jiao back, Lu Buwei only cared about whether he was seen to have a damaged reputation, and he didn't care about his daughter at all.
"This kind of hero, what will he miss about him?"
Zhao Zheng had doubts, and when he went out to pay respects to the people of the ten-mile long table, he secretly instructed Zhao Gao to check Lu Buwei's itinerary today.
In the past, when Lu Buwei saw him, he was a little too enthusiastic, but today he was a little calm on his wedding day.
Could it be that his identity was found out by Lu Buwei?
Although he pretended to be Yingzheng to sit on the crown prince and won the support of the people of Qin, the fake is always fake. Zhao Zheng didn't plan to do it for a long time in his heart, once he completed his goal, he would find a Zen position for a disciple of the clan with an innocent background, worthy of the ancestors of the Qin State and worthy of his conscience.
"I've done my best to be righteous, don't push me again."
Zhao Zheng slowly came to the first seat of the ten-mile long table, all of them were veterans, Qin was still martial but cared little about veterans. Zhao Zheng invited them and won the hearts of most of the army at once. Maybe the generals of the Qin army are involved in the lineage and are not easy to win over, but the non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level, they dare to work for you after a drink.
"Old and young masters, eat and drink well."
Chatting with military men, vulgarity is the first priority, and if they are elegant, they can't understand it, but they will feel that they look down on them.
Zhao Zheng was full of anger, and the veterans were immediately happy, holding a wine bowl and shouting: "His Royal Highness the Prince, drink well, there is still an aunt tonight." β
"Hahaha"
The guests of honor laughed as the carriage moved slowly.
toasted a jar of wine in a row, although Zhao Zheng urged the love method to force out the wine, but the continuous drinking still made him a little unbearable.
"My lord, I will change the altar for you."
Zhao Zhou cleverly picked up a jar of water, and the mouth of the altar was smeared with wine lees, and it smelled of some wine, at least the people couldn't distinguish it.
At this time, Zhao Zheng's head was not dizzy, and he was even clearer than Fang Cai. The people applauded the prince in large quantities, and he was not drunk after a thousand cups, Zhao Zheng smiled awkwardly, deliberately staggering and pretending to be drunk.
At the end, there were seedlings on both sides, and Zhao Zheng walked half a mile forward before finding a slightly larger open space. The two-horse carriage, like an extended Lincoln sedan, took a lot of effort to turn, and just halfway through the car, Zhao was facing the grass on the side of the road when an arrow struck at a rapid pace.
"Be careful, lord"
Zhao Zhou's eyes were quick to block it with a wine jar, and the arrow at the end of the strong crossbow hit Zhao Zheng's body, which was blocked by the inner armor of his body. But that feeling of brushing shoulders with death made Zhao Zheng break out in a cold sweat.
"Keep your mouth alive."
Zhao Zhou was the first to rush out, and the four guards also rushed out with a roar. Zhao Zheng stayed in the carriage, pulled the curtain of the carriage numbly, and when he boarded, four steel plates protected the carriage, even the divine arm crossbow could not hurt him.
"Kill, kill this impostor."
I thought it was Butterfly Guard's revenge, but there were only a dozen assassins, screaming and rushing over with Tang knives bought on the black market, and they were half shot down by crossbow arrows before they could get close to Shadow Guard.
"Don't stop, rush to the front of the car, my son will reward a hundred taels of gold."
A slightly thin figure, whose body was coated with grass juice, was not even noticed just now. He was so close to the carriage that he rushed to the front of it in a few arrows.
Without saying a word, he took out a sky-shaking thunderbolt from his arms, which was the kind that needed to be ignited, and the fire was pasted on it.
"Haha, go to death, go to the underworld to be your prince."
The lead burned quickly and was obviously truncated, and Zhao Zheng couldn't hear the sound outside in the carriage at this time. Although the car is thick, can it withstand the bombardment of earth-shattering thunder.
The fire twist burned inside, and Zhao Zhou also stopped, and then he could only look at the meaning of God.
"Daring fanatics."
"Whew" a wine jar fell with the wind, just poured on the earth-shaking thunder, and with a bang, it was dumb and fired.
Zhao Zhou hurriedly ran over, kicked the dumb earth-shattering thunder, knocked on the carriage three times, and called Zhao Zheng out.
"Lord, go quickly, the assassin has a thunderbolt."
"Get on the horse", Zhao Zheng was about to untie the reins of the horse and flee when he got to the front.
But I heard a hearty laugh, "It is said that Gushan Jun is bold, and he has become less bold when he becomes a prince." β
An old man with a childish face and a red face grabbed the assassin with one hand, and drank with the gourd in the other.
"Lord, just now it was this old man who threw the wine jar and extinguished the earth-shattering thunder."
Zhao Zheng looked at it, and he was in a cold sweat when he boarded, the steel plate car could be arrow-proof, but if it was blown away by the earth-shattering thunder, even if the shrenchnel could not penetrate the carriage, he would be shocked to death.
Seeing that this old man was not afraid of his identity at all, there was even a bit of ridicule in his words, especially when he was full of white hair, he could throw the wine jar so accurately.
Zhao Zheng didn't dare to treat it lightly, and bowed and said: "Hehe, my uncle smiled, I got married today, and I can't die before I have a cave room."
Fleeing is not cowardice, but to not worry his father and his wife. β
"Well, this reason is barely reasonable, otherwise the daughter of Meng Yu's forty-year-old widow will not complain to you to death.
But how many enemies do you have, even a child will assassinate you. β
With a flick of his hand, the thin assassin's face towel fell to the ground, and it was the young boy who won Zheng.
Zhao Zheng looked at Ying Zheng's eyes that he couldn't swallow him, and helplessly spread his hands and said: "My husband smiled, dare to ask your honorable name, and let me come to thank you in the future." β
"Haha, it seems that this child's status is not low, and the person will be handed over to you. But there is no need to ask the old man's name, and it is useless for the dying person to know.
I wanted to rub you with a drink, but just now I returned it in order to save you, and the old man drank two jars anyway, and as your thank you.
The road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and the prince should be careful. β
"Yingzheng thanked the old man for saving his life."
Strange old man, not strange assassination.
Zhao Zheng walked over and searched carefully, and when he confirmed that there was no more earth-shaking thunder, he said in a low voice: "Go back and inform Wang Kun, sweep the black market of Qinguo to Lao Tzu, and don't let Lao Tzu see the earth-shaking thunder again." β
I have worked hard to create it, but I have to be on guard all day long, and I must crack down on the black market and protect legitimate transactions.
"Phew, if you want to kill, you will kill, you don't need to ask for credit in front of your father."
A small episode, Zhao Zheng did not make a big fanfare, the carriage went back slowly, and everyone only returned happily after the prince toasted, not caring at all that there was another person in the corner of the carriage, covered with grass juice.
Zhao Zheng covered his nose and secretly wondered, how could he forget the camouflage uniform, but this time he was reminded of Ying Zheng's assassination.
His smiling eyes seemed to be about to take the little girl to see the strange Shu millet of the goldfish, and Ying Zheng actually moved back.
The wedding banquet was as usual, but after all, he was assassinated, and Zhao Zheng couldn't bear it. Coming to a quiet courtyard, Zichu was supported by Ying Mu and sat on the main seat, with a gloomy face, and Lu Buwei stood at the bottom with a heavy heart.
"Rebel, you dared to assassinate your eldest brother at his wedding banquet, and the widow really regrets that he was soft-hearted at that time, and did not put you on death row with your mother of the Butterfly Guard spy."
Zichu's chest rose and fell, his breathing was short, he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.
"Zheng'er, today is your wedding, and everything is up to you."
Ying Zheng glared at Zi Chu hatefully, Zhao Zheng didn't like threats, and the world knew that this was clearly to kill him.
"Kill, kill, anyway, in your heart, I have never been your son, you only care about this eldest son of unknown origin."
"Bastard, you ......"
"Ahem"
Zi Chu pointed at Ying Zheng so angry that he couldn't speak, this usually well-behaved young son, a mouth will make him angry to death.
"Don't talk about it, young son, although your mother is Diewei, but after all, you are my Qin bloodline, and you will at least be a hereditary minister in the future, why should you risk assassinating the prince and disturbing the Qin State, what good will it do you to disturb the Qin State?"
"Disrupting the Qin State, he will be able to ask Zhou Tianzi for credit, and then save Lan Ji's life. Uncle Wang, is this difficult to understand? β
Zhao Zheng said with a smile, but the smile in Yingmu's eyes was a little crazy.
Ying Zheng was silent, as if Zhao Zheng had said it. Zhao Zheng had murderous intent in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he wanted to let people take Ying Zheng down.
"Zheng'er ......"
Zi Chu said silently, after all, they were all his sons, but since he let Zhao Zheng decide, he would not interfere again, not to mention that Ying Zheng wanted to use it as a means to disrupt the Qin State.
"Slow"
Lu Buwei actually spoke, "Zheng'er, although he assassinated you with very vicious intentions, he is your brother after all."
If a brother is against the wall, it is not good for his family, and even more so for the country, so it is better to lock him up, even if he is under house arrest for a lifetime, it is better than taking on the name of mutilating his siblings. β
"Zheng'er, you are the crown prince, even if he assassinates you, it will be rumored that you are acting to frame him. People are terrible, and they must be guarded against. β
Zhao Zheng was silent, and Lu Buwei persuaded again, with a look of consideration for him in his words.
"It depends on my uncle's wishes."
Zhao Zheng bowed down and said with a smile, "It's not early, Jiaojiao's wedding is about to start, Zheng'er will send his uncle home." β
"Could it be related to Lan Ji", Zhao Zheng was suspicious, sent Lu Buwei away, and immediately ordered Zhao Zhou to put Lan Ji out of prison.
