Chapter 004: Wei Ran Assassinated!
Full of wine,
Take a sip!
Immediately, the old man's face was distorted, and the seven orifices were almost squeezed together!
Moments later,
The old man's eyebrows stretched, and the pain disappeared, replaced by a little enjoyment and aftertaste!
"Bitter wine in the throat, life is hard; Half a life, peace of mind is sweet! ”
The old man looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and didn't know if he thought of his past or something.
was silent for half a column of incense, then grabbed a handful of peanuts and said chic and indifferently:
"There are five flavors in the world, sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty; Only this bitter word is bitter and sweet, but unfortunately there are very few people who understand the taste! ”
After that,
The old man poured another glass of bitter wine, and after drinking it for a while, he let out a long breath of turbidity, and looked at the eyes of the young man next to him, with a trace of hesitation and reluctance.
Zhao Zheng is not in a hurry,
Instead, he ate the dishes unhurriedly and waited for the old man to speak!
He didn't know what the old man's name was, he only knew that the old man was a very powerful swordsman, and he didn't know how strong he was.
All he knows is that
When he and his mother Zhao Ji returned to China before, in order to avoid the pursuit of the killer, they made a detour to Wei State, but they were still chased by the killer soon after.
Of the thirteen assassins, only the leader was under the old man's hands, barely taking a move and a half, and the rest were all sealed with a sword!
And just such a supreme swordsman who wandered in the Wei Kingdom appeared in Xianyang City, which is definitely not a good sign!
Wine over three rounds, food over five flavors,
When the old man was alone and drank two jars of bitter wine, the struggle in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and then he turned into a determined color!
He looked at Zhao Zheng and said, "Son, the old man has something to ask for!" ”
Zhao Zheng smiled: "Senior, please speak!" ”
"The old man wants to entrust my apprentice Ji Kong to the son, if the old man can't appear tomorrow, I just ask the son to keep my apprentice alive!"
"How do seniors know that I can save his life?"
Glancing at Zhao Zheng, the old man stroked his beard and said with a faint smile: "The old man has studied the dress of the prince of Great Qin, although the study is not deep, but it can also be seen that the prince is the nobleman of the dynasty!" ”
“……”
Zhao Zheng couldn't have imagined that it was his own clothes that betrayed him.
After thinking about it,
Zhao Zheng shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, there are no rules and no circle, Qin Law is harsh, assassinating the prince of the dynasty will punish the nine clans!" ”
Zhao Zheng was talking about the princes of the dynasty, not the nobles.
Because since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the status of the nobles of Great Qin has declined dramatically, and the kind of nobles who are mixed in the court and have a corpse meal are being eliminated by Great Qin little by little.
Therefore, assassinating the old nobles will not be punished by the Nine Clans, but the nobles will fight back, and Daqin will not care, as long as you don't kill innocents indiscriminately!
And at this time,
But a flash of shock flashed in the old man's eyes,
Maybe the young man next to him didn't understand Zhao Zheng's words, but the old man was very shrewd and knew the weight of Zhao Zheng's words just now.
Assassinate the princes of the dynasty and punish the nine clans!
In other words, the retired princes and Great Qin nobles are no longer among them!
Moments later,
The old man suppressed the shock in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Gongzi, you are not a prince of the dynasty, but a ......."
"Good!"
Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Zhao Zheng interrupted him and said confidently: "Since he is not the prince of the dynasty, I will keep him safe!" ”
"Then thank you son!"
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Zhao Zheng.
meantime
Zhao Zheng's heart also let go.
The reason why the old man came here, he had already vaguely guessed a little, and he originally suspected that the old man was here to assassinate Ying Chu.
Now I can relax!
Thinking of this,
Zhao Zheng glanced at the young man who was pulling the placket of the old man's clothes, pouted his lips and said softly:
"If I'm not mistaken, my predecessor should be from Wei, and I shouldn't have much to do with my Daqin, right?"
"Entrusted by others, loyal to people!"
The old man didn't want to say more, patted the head of the young man next to him, and grinned: "The old man Guan Gongzi is very human, if the old man can't appear here tomorrow, I will ask the son to be a disciple." ”
"As the predecessors just said, entrusted by people, loyal to people!"
Wen Yan,
The old man laughed, and the long-standing haze in his eyes also dissipated in an instant!
Moments later,
The old man comforted Ji Kong, got up and hugged his fists and said: "Childe, this is a mental and swordsmanship practiced by the old decay, and I hope that the prince will keep one or two for the old decay, if you ...... This thing should be used as a thank you gift for Childe, I hope it will be useful to Childe! ”
After that,
The old man took out a book-sized, two-finger-thick, cowhide wrapped thing from his arms, put it in front of Zhao Zheng, and hurriedly went downstairs and left.
Leaving Ji Kong with a reluctant face, looking at the back of the old man leaving,
He pursed his lips vigorously, as if he did his best to keep his tears from falling!
Night
When Zhao Zheng took Ji Kong to the palace of King Qin, Ji Kong was stopped by the people of the Wei Army, but then the order of King Yingchu of Qin was handed down, and Ji Kong followed Zhao Zheng to the harem.
This matter immediately caused an uproar in the harem!
"...... In the harem, in addition to the royal ladies, palace maids, and eunuchs, only a few sons are men, this Zhao Zheng actually brought a man of unknown origin in, and the father actually allowed it? ”
After Cheng Chan got the news, he directly smashed the teacup in his hand, and his eyes were about to explode!
"Don't be angry, this matter may be a good thing for the master!"
Shen Yao on the side stepped forward and whispered in Cheng Ji's ear: "Master, the king intends to make that Zhao Ji the queen, and the master can just take advantage of this matter to suppress Zhao Ji's mother and son!" ”
"Tomorrow, the master only needs to go to the Empress Dowager Huayang to grunt, catch and tweet......"
After hearing Shen Yao's words, Cheng Yao, who was originally furious, suddenly flashed with excitement in his eyes,
said excitedly: "Yes, tomorrow's Japanese prince will go to the Empress Dowager Huayang to say goodbye, after all, this harem, but the Empress Dowager Huayang has the final say!" ”
……
The next day,
Zhao Zheng didn't wait for the Empress Dowager Huayang's questioning, but he waited for the news of Wei Ran's assassination!
"Master, something big happened last night, I heard that an old man in sackcloth assassinated Lord Wei, the assassination attempt failed, and he was beheaded in the Wei Mansion on the spot, and now the body has been hung on the side of Chaoyang Gate to deter a group of Xiaoxiao."
"According to the news that spread, almost all of the three warlocks and more than 20 martial arts powerhouses enshrined in the attached middle school of Lord Wei were dispatched, the three warlocks were killed and one was injured, and half of the more than 20 martial artists were sealed by a sword!"
"Now that the news has spread, many people have gone to the east gate to see the excitement!"
The eunuch who was waiting for Zhao Zheng to live whispered about the major events that happened today, but he didn't notice the stunned young man at the door.
And at this time,
Zhao Zheng sat on the right seat, his left hand was clenched, his index finger and ring finger were bent, and he gently knocked on the tabletop.
said lightly: "Wei Ran is no longer the prince of the dynasty, he belongs to the nobles of Great Qin, why do you call him 'adult'?" ”
Thump!
After hearing this, the eunuch's feet weakened, and he knelt directly on the ground and shrunk into a ball, and said in a trembling voice: "It's the slave who is ignorant, and I ask the master to spare his life." ”
"A hundred palms, get out of the clean room!"
Zhao Zheng didn't look at each other, but walked straight outside, and when he came to the door, he said lightly:
"Go to the Full Moon Tower with my son, your master is still waiting for you!"
