The night was dark, and the Zhao house, which was not lively, was even quieter. Zhao Zheng jumped out of the windowsill of the bedroom as usual and gently closed the window back.

When he came to the backyard, he kicked his left leg against the big tree against the wall, jumped up the high wall, and jumped out without hesitation, disappearing into the darkness. The night is still quiet, as if nothing has changed.

On the way to the secret passage leading to the outside of the city, Zhao Zheng clearly sensed that something was different. There was a sense of urgency behind him to be followed by something.

He stopped, because on a summer night of curfew, a street that should not be crowded, he clearly felt the presence of another person. Clenching the short sword in his hand, he calmly turned around.

Under the moonlight, a tall figure with vertical hands and a long sword stood firmly on the street more than ten meters away from him. The body seemed to be staring at him, as if he were his prey.

The environment was both bright and dark, so that he couldn't see the other party's face and expression clearly. But the silent and calm tall body still made Zhao Zheng faintly worried. I don't know what the other party's intentions are? If it is entangled, even if you have studied diligently for more than four years with a master with advanced martial arts, you can be regarded as having excellent skills. However, with a body that is no different from a child, how can he fight with an adult man who looks like he can stand out from the crowd?

He was trying to figure out how to get out of this uncertain predicament when he saw the man walking towards him with his strong legs. But his footsteps were barely audible, like a ghost.

Zhao Zheng tried to calm his accelerated heartbeat, tightened the muscles of his whole body as if facing a great enemy, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the man who had already walked in front of him. The other party's face gradually became clear because of the approach, but it was not his familiar face.

"Childe." The man held his sword and bowed his head to him with his sword slightly clenched into fists, and his voice was low and powerful. On closer inspection, it turned out to be the man in the teahouse.

"Who are you?" Zhao Zheng pretended to be calm.

It didn't look like the other party was looking for trouble, Zhao Zheng relaxed his tightened muscles slightly, but still looked at him vigilantly.

"Don't panic, Gongzi, under Wang Qian, a swordsman of the Qin State. After being recommended by Lu Xiang, the King of Qin appreciated it, and ordered him to secretly come to Zhao to wait for the opportunity to help his son return to Qin. The person who called himself Wang Jian reported himself to his home in a deep voice.

"The King of Qin sent you to help me return to Qin?"

The corners of Zhao Zheng's mouth glanced at him, his eyes full of disdain, and he didn't have the slightest joy. If you have never had any illusions, how can you hope? Now when I hear that someone is coming to pick me up and return to Qin, I don't think it's real.

"Childe doesn't have to be suspicious, he has already arrived in Zhao State three months ago, and he also knows something about Childe." After a pause, he said: "For example, the place where Gongzi is going at this time is the dense forest called the Cliff Cave outside Jinyang City. ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zheng looked at Wang Jian silently: Where did this person come from and what is his purpose? Could it really be that he was here to help him return to Qin, as he himself said? When did he know his whereabouts, and why did he appear in front of him now?

Countless questions hit his brain like a thousand threads. But he knew very well that no matter whether the person intended to be good or evil. He must be cautious, in this sinister world, he is an embarrassing identity that his grandmother does not hurt and his grandfather does not love, and being sacrificed is a matter of time and place. After more than 10 years of enduring humiliation and burden, we must not make a mistake.

"No matter who you are and what your real purpose is, since you know my whereabouts and haven't reported me, it can prove that I am safe at the moment."

Zhao Zheng said his conclusion lightly. The set that usually pretends to be stupid is probably superfluous in front of this person. Coupled with the faint desire to appreciate him in his heart, he unabashedly showed his true face.

"Childe, the coming day is long, and I have enough patience and time to let Childe win the trust of me," Wang Jian saluted respectfully again.

"If, as you say, when did you follow me, why did you show up to see me tonight?" Zhao Zheng asked with a slight tilt of his head.

"Don't hide it from Gongzi, more than two months ago, I was visiting Zhao's Mansion at night, wanting to get in touch with Gongzi, and accidentally found that Gongzi left Zhao's Mansion with his attendants over the wall, so I followed Gongzi and discovered Childe's secret. After that, because Gongzi brought his attendants every night, it was inconvenient for me to show up. I'm worried that Childe's attendant is not so simple, from my observation, his martial arts are by no means ordinary, but he deliberately hides his true strength and is willing to commit himself to an ordinary minion. Tonight, when I saw my son alone, I dared to come out to meet him. ”

Zhao Zheng was secretly shocked again! If he followed him and Liu Chang every night, he would forget it, he knew Liu Chang's skills, and he was much higher than himself. Even Liu Chang didn't notice that someone was following, so what level did this self-proclaimed swordsman Wang Jian achieve in martial arts? If he hadn't deliberately exposed himself tonight, he wouldn't have discovered his existence anyway.

Wang Jian is right, Liu Chang is not an ordinary entourage, he has studied under Baili Chou since he was a child, an old man who has been hidden for many years and has countless skills, that is, the master who has guided him every night in the past four years.

Four years ago, because of Liang Wan's intercession, Zhao Dan, who had ascended the throne, granted him permission to go out freely for three days a month. Once, he dumped his attendant and ran out on the prescribed day, but unexpectedly met a fat cow next door who was seven or eight years older than him on the street.

Although you can't go out for a long time, you can still walk around and play at home. has the relationship between Queen Liang Wan, and the guards who take care of Zhao Ji's mother and son at the door usually don't care, as long as they can see people.

But slowly, he didn't want to come to the door to play, just because the fat cow, as his name suggests, was full of fat, and every time he brought a bunch of children to bully him. They threw stones at him and even beat him. Therefore, he was a little self-defeating and gloomy that he didn't like to deal with anyone.

The time I met a fat cow on the street. If Liu Chang hadn't appeared, he would have been beaten to death by those people a long time ago. I don't know what Liu Chang likes about him, since I met that day, I don't know where he came from, from time to time I would go into his room through the window, and say all day long that I wanted to worship him and ask Zhao Zheng to recognize him as a big brother.

Slowly, the two of them got along really happily, but they haven't gotten along yet. Liu Chang took him to an abandoned house near the city wall, which had a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. He went out of the city from the secret passage to meet the old man he talked about every day, that is, his master Baili was sorrowful.

Who knows, after seeing Zhao Zheng, he ordered Liu Chang, the only apprentice he raised, to become a slave and serve by Zhao Zheng's side. said that it was a punishment for him to go down the mountain and enter the city without permission to cause trouble. He also told Zhao Zheng that as long as he could, he could go to the cliff cave after night to learn some ways to govern the world with him, and learn martial arts by the way to defend himself.

If it weren't for meeting Liu Chang, where would he have the opportunity to worship Baili Chou as a teacher. Baili Chou taught him everything, and in four years, he learned the true burden of forbearance and the initial ambition of ambition.

"Even if what you say is true, it still can't prove your own identity, and there is no evidence, how can I believe you." For Zhao Zheng, it was a matter of time before he left Zhao State, otherwise his life would be difficult to protect.

If the Qin State took the initiative to take him back, then he could face the Qin State with a straight face. Otherwise, even if he returns to the Qin State on his own strength, and the Qin State does not recognize his identity, it is nothing more than going from one hell to another!!

"Childe, please give this half of the dragon head jade pendant to Mrs. Zhao Ji for confirmation. Madame will definitely tell the prince the reason. ”

Wang Jian took out the dragon head white jade carved with lifelike dragon head from his arms, the length of a mother's finger, and the fracture at the other end was flat and smooth, and there was no carving, more like it was caused by a knife and two cuts.

Zhao Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still took the white jade and held it tightly in his hand... Isn't the other half of the jade in the hands of his mother? He secretly guessed.

After separating from Wang Qian, he still left the city through the secret road. But there is no desire to find a hundred miles of sorrow.

Standing in an open field, he took out a round bronze whistle the size of a tail finger and two fingers long in his bosom, and put it in his mouth to blow, and the whistle made a clear snorting sound. After a while, only the sound of the horse could be heard, accompanied by the sound of da, under the moonlight, a sturdy black horse galloped towards Zhao Zheng.

The neat flying horse, in the past, was the sweaty BMW "Thunder" raised by the master with Liu Chang. Today, when you ride alone, it seems that the thunder is even taller, but you are so small......

Let the thunder carry him through the dark and silent land, as if there was only one man and one horse left in the world. His mind was spinning and thinking, and he didn't notice where the thunder was taking him.

Suddenly, Thunder didn't know what he was frightened by, his two front feet went up, and he roared and screamed, almost throwing Zhao Zheng off his horse. By the time he reacted, the thunderbolt was already rushing forward. He quickly stooped over the horse, tightening the reins in an attempt to control the thunder. However, Thunder is not sensible from the past, and continues to gallop regardless of it.

Just as he was trying to observe his surroundings by the moonlight, Thunder flew down with his feet, and even men and horses flew down......
