Since Ying Zheng and Meng Yi recognized Wu Zhan as the boss, the relationship between the three of them is incomparable, of course, on occasions where outsiders are there, they still have to pay attention to respecting the elders and the young.

After finishing a day's study, Ying Zheng led Wu Zhan and Meng Yi back to the study, Xiao Ying Zheng picked up the honey water that the maid had prepared, raised his head and drank it, waved his sleeves to wipe the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect Wang Qian's son Wang Ben to be so good, today's riding and archery training is able to suppress Meng Yi, and it is amazing." ”

Meng Yi said unconvinced: "Hmph, I just played abnormally today, if my brother Meng Tian is here, he will definitely be able to defeat that kid." ”

"If you lose, you lose, what's not to be convinced."

Wu Zhan Lao Shen is saying: "Don't look at that Wang Ben's age is the same as ours, I heard that when he was six years old, he followed his father Wang Jian to defend against the Xiongnu in the northern Xinjiang, and his strength can be seen." ”

"The boss's ability to search for information is quite strong!" Ying Zheng praised.

"I just don't have a chance to fight on the battlefield, otherwise I wouldn't be far behind." Meng Yi was still unconvinced.

"But in my opinion, this Wang Ben will definitely be able to become a member of my Great Qin in the future, and the prince should win over and cultivate him." Wu Zhan suggested.

"I agree with that."

Ying Zheng nodded and said: "As far as I know, Wang Ben's father Wang Jian has a very strong military command ability, but he has an average background and has been fighting in Northern Xinjiang all the year round, and many credits have not been passed on to the imperial court, and I will also vigorously promote Wang Jian in the future." ”

"The prince is wise!" Wu Zhan and Meng Yi said in unison.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Prince Qiqi, Lu Xiang asks to see." ”

"It's Lu Buwei again!" As soon as he heard that Lu Buwei was coming, a disgusting look immediately appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

Without waiting for Yingzheng to see him, Lu Buwei had already stepped into the room with long legs, and said from a distance: "I heard that the prince is diligent in studying every day, and Lu is very happy." ”

"The prime minister has a heart." Ying Zheng said coldly.

Lu Buwei didn't care, but said to Meng Yi next to Yingzheng and Wu Zhan, who was pretending to be a eunuch: "The old minister has important things to report to the prince alone." ”

The implication is to let the two of them avoid it first.

Meng Yi then pulled Wu Zhan and was about to leave, but he heard Ying Zheng say: "Both of them are people I can trust, and it doesn't matter if the prime minister has anything to say." ”

A cold glint flashed in Lu Buwei's eyes, and he saw the corners of his mouth raised: "The prince commands, how dare the old minister disobey." Tomorrow is the funeral of the former king, and later there will be an official Lang to teach the prince the precautions. ”

These words are mediocre, it is not important to talk about whether it is important or not, and others have to avoid it, Wu Zhan couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"Why does the prime minister have to say this little thing personally?" Ying Zheng's eyes were also full of doubts.

Lu Buwei stared at Wu Zhan, who had his head lowered, and said suspiciously: "Why is this chamberlain so tight, why have I never seen it before?" ”

One sentence made the hearts of the three people present beat faster, but fortunately, Wu Zhan reacted quickly, only to see him bow to Lu Buwei, pinch his throat and say: "My name is Xiao Liuzi, I was just transferred to the East Palace to serve the prince a while ago, and it is normal that the Prime Minister has not seen me." ”

"Little Liuzi?" Lü Buwei was still suspicious.

Ying Zheng was afraid that he would ask further questions, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "The prime minister hasn't explained his intention yet?" ”

"Oh, hehe."

Lu Buwei laughed dryly and said: "On the way to the funeral tomorrow, there may be assassins, and the prince can rely on the old man to make the decision at that time, and Lu will ensure that the prince and queen are safe." ”

"What? Assassins? ”

Ying Zheng couldn't help but exclaim: "Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate? ”

Lu Buwei smiled slightly and said, "Everything is under the control of the prime minister, and the prince doesn't need to worry." ”

"Since the Prime Minister has already received the news of the assassins' assassination, why don't you arrange for the men to wipe out the assassins in advance?" Meng Yi couldn't help but ask.

But seeing Lu Buwei's eyes cold, he said: "Your grandfather still doesn't dare to question me, but your kid is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers?" ”

"Meng Yi is rude!" Meng Yi hurriedly made amends, indeed, Meng Yi has always been polite and obedient in front of Lu Buwei, how can he be qualified to interject.

"If there are no other arrangements, Lu will retire first!" Lü Buwei bowed slightly, turned around and walked out, but halfway through, he turned around and admonished: "None of you had better not publicize the assassin's matter, otherwise there will be too many variables if the news leaks." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out again.

When the door of the prince's study was closed behind him, Lu Buwei's originally smiling face was suddenly covered with frost.

"Go check for me, what's the origin of the servant called Xiao Liuzi next to the prince, I want the most detailed information!" Lu Buwei commanded his subordinates on the side, and then led people towards Ganquan Palace.

Seeing Lu Buwei leaving, the three of Yingzheng let out a long breath, as if they had just experienced a battle.

"It's not good, Lu Buwei will definitely arrange for someone to check my origin, how can this be good?" Wu Zhan couldn't help but worry.

Ying Zheng looked calm, and only listened to him: "Don't worry, I have already ordered someone to prepare your register, and I guarantee that he can't find any problems." ”

"It's still thoughtful!" Wu Zhan patted his chest and said.

"I don't know if what Lü Buwei said about the assassins is true or not, have we prepared in advance?" Meng Yi said with a solemn expression.

"Meng Yi is right."

Wu Zhan echoed: "If there is really an assassin, then it must be for the crown prince, we have to plan in advance." ”

Xiao Yingzheng's face was extremely gloomy at this time, and he only listened to him: "If you dare to send assassins to assassinate me, you must be in the same group as the people who spread rumors about my background, if you let me know who is behind them?" I will destroy the nine tribes! ”

Wu Zhan and Meng Yi couldn't help but shudder when they heard this, who would have thought that a young man who was only thirteen years old would be able to say such cruel words.

"Meng Yi, I want you to stay around the prince from now on, and at tomorrow's funeral, you will be fully armed to protect the prince." Wu Zhan commanded.

"Don't worry, boss, even if I give up my life, I will definitely ensure that the prince is thorough." Meng Yi said firmly.

"I'll go out and see if I can get more useful news back."

Wu Zhan said that he would go outside, he was going to Ganquan Palace to find Qing'er and see if she had more valuable information there.

Walking out of the East Palace, Wu Zhan locked his eyebrows and pondered as he walked, choosing to assassinate the prince at this juncture, he must have had a plan, and once the prince was assassinated, the one who benefited the most was Ying Zheng's own brother Cheng Chan, could it be that the assassin was sent by him?

Now there are rumors about Ying Zheng's life experience, and many old clans have begun to waver, if Ying Zheng is assassinated at this time, then there is no need to ask, the heir of King Qin is naturally Cheng Chan......

Just when Wu Zhan was thinking, suddenly a low voice came from behind him.

"Little Liuzi!"

Wu Zhan didn't realize who Xiao Liuzi was for a while, and when he reacted, he hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw a middle-aged general dressed in the armor of the Imperial Forest Army standing not far away and waving at him, this person's figure was somewhat familiar, but he had never seen it before.

Maybe it's the Netherworld Guards hidden in the palace, who knows how many Netherworld Guards there are in this palace? Wu Zhan muttered in his heart and walked towards the man.

"Why, you can't recognize me after only a few days?" The man crossed his arms and spoke.

"Master......" Wu Zhan had already identified from his voice that this person was Master Dongfang Yun, but how could his appearance change so hugely.

"Be quiet!" Dongfang Yun shouted in a low voice.

"Master, it's really you......"

Wu Zhan was a little excited: "I thought you left me alone again......

"Silly boy! I know your every move, and taking the initiative to see you this time is to have something important to tell. Dongfang Yun said in a low voice.

"But master, why did you look like this?" Wu Zhan couldn't help but ask.

"This is called the disguise technique, it is my secret that I do not pass on, and when the time is ripe in the future, I will naturally teach it to you." Dongfang Yun explained.

"Since you have a disguise technique, why didn't you teach it to me earlier, and let me play the eunuch in the palace......" Wu Zhan poked his index finger and said dissatisfied.

"What's wrong with pretending to be a eunuch? It's not that you become a real eunuch! ”

Dongfang Yun scolded: "Think about it yourself, besides the eunuch, what other identity can you get close to the prince in a grand manner?" ”

Wu Zhan glanced at Dongfang Yun, and although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to say more.

"I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances, but your performance after entering the palace is extremely wonderful, and the teacher naturally sees it."

Dongfang Yun comforted Wu Zhan and said, "Now that you have gained the trust of the crown prince, and you have also established a relationship of mutual trust with Meng Yi, Meng Yi, the grandson of Meng Fu, which is very helpful for our next plan." ”

"Just now, Lü Buwei came to see the crown prince, and said that there will be assassins on the way to the funeral of King Qin on the way to assassinate the prince." When Wu Zhan heard this, he no longer dwelled on his personal problems, and hurriedly said when he remembered the matter.

Dongfang Yun nodded and said: "I came to you to talk about this matter, the assassins who planned to assassinate this time are related to Yangquan Jun Michen, and they are all masters from the Six Kingdoms, since Lu Buwei already knows about this matter, he must have made precise arrangements and arrangements." ”

"So how do we make sure the prince is safe?" Wu Zhan asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry, since Lu Buwei already knows about the assassin but refuses to startle the snake, it is obvious that he wants to take the opportunity to kill Yangquanjun, and in his eyes, the safety of the prince is more important than anything else, with him protecting the prince openly and secretly, it will definitely be fine." Dongfang Yun explained.

"In that case, what else do you want us to do?" Wu Zhan was even more puzzled.

"Silly boy, the reason why Lu Buwei wants to ensure that the crown prince is foolproof is to be able to seek more benefits in the future, but we are different, our original intention is to defend the royal family, and it has nothing to do with other interests, do you understand?" Dongfang Yun gave Wu Zhan a brain meltdown, and Wu Zhan couldn't help but grin in pain.

"After the funeral of King Qin, Ying Zheng is about to ascend the throne, at that time it must be assisted by the Queen Mother Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei, during this period, if Lü Buwei thinks that Ying Zheng is not his son, it will naturally be a threat to Ying Zheng, and then it will naturally be time for us to play a role, now you must accompany Ying Zheng, protect his safety, accompany him to grow, and at the same time find a way to cultivate power and plump Ying Zheng's feathers." Dongfang Yun said earnestly.

"What about you, master?"

Wu Zhan rubbed his forehead and asked suspiciously: "Whether it is skill, experience or brain, you are the most outstanding of us, why don't you assist the prince?" ”

Dongfang Yun said: "I naturally have my mission, and the master can't be by your side forever, there is still a long way to go, and you need to go on your own." ”

"Master, what do you mean by this?" Wu Zhan had a faint sense of foreboding.

"Hahaha......"

Dongfang Yun smiled sadly and said, "You just need to find a way to complete your task, you don't have to worry about other things." ”

Seeing that Wu Zhan still wanted to investigate deeply, Dongfang Yun stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Okay, don't ask more, you go back quickly, explain this matter to the prince, and make more preparations tomorrow to ensure that the prince is foolproof." ”

"Master......" Wu Zhan stopped talking, he was afraid that he would never see Dongfang Yun again.

Dongfang Yun only felt a warm heart, only to see him turn around and wave his hand: "Go back quickly!" ”

After finishing speaking, he disappeared from Wu Zhan's sight without looking back, and Wu Zhan silently prayed in his heart: I hope that the master will turn evil into good fortune and be by his side forever.
