Although Cai Ze couldn't see how these soldiers attacked, he could tell from their posture that they were not holding back.
"You!" Cai Ze's heart was about to jump out. This was Cheng Jiao, Ying Zheng's younger brother and the only blood relative of Ying Zheng in this world.
Ever since Queen Mother Huayang and Queen Mother Xia were imprisoned, Cheng Jiao has been the most honorable person in this palace and the entire Xianyang except for Ying Zheng.
In the past few days, Ying Zheng took Cheng Jiao with him wherever he went, and even did not let Cheng Jiao leave when he went to court.
Such importance had to make Cai Ze cautious.
After all, he was an old minister who had served several dynasties, not to mention that he had experienced the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin was not the son of King Wu of Qin. He was King Wu of Qin's younger brother and the heir appointed by King Wu of Qin.
Although Ying Zheng could not be King Wu of Qin, and Cheng Jiao was not necessarily King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who can say for sure, and who can be sure that Ying Zheng would not give the throne to Cheng Jiao?
From observations over the past few days, Ying Zheng treated Cheng Jiao like an heir, just like he was training a crown prince.
Even though Ying Zheng is only fourteen years old and Cheng Jiao is only four years old, they have to make Cai Ze be careful.
The changes of the throne in Qin State in recent years are extremely rare in the entire history. Three emperors were replaced in just four or five years, and Ying Zheng was the fourth.
No one could tell whether Ying Zheng would suddenly die, or like his father Ying Zichu, he would pass away and leave everything to Cheng Jiao.
After all, heaven is always better than the human world, and gods are always better than emperors.
However, these are not what Cai Ze is considering now. He just wants to stop this group of soldiers from causing harm to Cheng Jiao.
If something really happened, Cai Ze would be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences, after all, it was he who gave the order.
Besides, Cai Ze knew the true appearance of these soldiers. For these living dead, they were not afraid of death at all.
But it was just a moment of worry, and then the so-called worry was gone.
In other words, the object of concern changed and became Cai Ze himself.
The scene before him was so horrific that it was beyond description: hundreds of soldiers were hit against the wall by the fragments of their long spears, and were nailed together on top of each other.
The instigator of all this was Cheng Jiao, the beast-like prince of Qin, Ying Cheng Jiao.
"Where's my brother?"
Cheng Jiao still kept repeating the same words, looking dazed and as if he had lost all his energy. He just kept repeating the same words.
Cai Ze watched Cheng Jiao slowly raise his eyes, watched Cheng Jiao look at him, and also saw clearly that the ferocious beast opened its mouth.
The nine heads all stared at Cai Ze, making him feel uneasy and a little scared.
"Where's my brother?"
This time Cheng Jiao asked another question, directed at Cai Ze.
Your Majesty, please come back soon!
…
The carriage was still moving on the road, neither fast nor slow, at least that's how it looked.
Ying Zheng did not feel any bumps at all, everything was as smooth as walking on flat ground.
This place is not far from Xianyang. Chen Xuan has been gone for a night and still hasn't returned.
Bai Qi was parking the carriage outside and did not come in to talk to Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng was the only one sitting alone in the carriage, which was not very big.
Just like other emperors call themselves, "Gua Ren", "a lonely and widowed man".
"Zheng boy, what are you daydreaming about?"
Ying Zheng listened to the familiar voice, put down the River Map and Luo Shu in his hand, looked up and saw Chen Xuan hanging in the sky, looking at him lazily.
"You still remember to come back?" Ying Zheng scolded with a smile, "Is the problem solved? But it's difficult? Otherwise, why would you be gone all night?"
"It's indeed a difficult situation, but it's a good thing." Chen Xuan continued to lie flat in the air, not looking at Ying Zheng, and ignoring Ying Zheng's ridicule and scolding. "If this matter is done, the Great Qin will have one less hidden danger in the future."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng knew Chen Xuan wasn't lying, so he became curious and wanted to know more. "Tell me about it."
"The ancestors of the Zhao State appeared and gave King Zhao the Zhaoqi Archer as a trump card." Chen Xuan turned over and looked at Ying Zheng, "But the price is a sacrifice, a living sacrifice."
"Live sacrifice?" Ying Zheng frowned, instantly understanding what Chen Xuan meant by live sacrifice. "Zhao State should have no shortage of slaves. If so, how can this be a good thing? How can it eliminate hidden dangers?"
Chen Xuan chuckled and said, "Who said slaves are okay? Sacrifices like kings, princes, generals and ministers are necessary."
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed. Even if he did such a thing, it would probably provoke a resistance, not to mention King Zhao Daoxiang.
"Isn't he afraid of Lejian?" Ying Zheng knew the ins and outs of Zhao. "Will Lejian agree? Or is Lejian gone?"
"All the Zhao cavalry archers have come down, so there's no point in having to deal with the music department." Chen Xuan sneered, "But the Zhao State did have a new ruler. King Yan of Zhao (King Daoxiang of Zhao) was replaced by King Qian of Zhao."
"Father and son killing each other?" Although Ying Zheng had not experienced the ins and outs of this, he still knew something about it. After all, his father, King Ying Zichu, had thought about this matter.
But it was not directed at him, but at King Xiaowen of Qin.
"In that case, it is indeed a good thing." Ying Zheng knew that as long as this was the case, Zhao State would inevitably be in chaos, and this was indeed a good thing.
As for Zhaoqi archers and the like, could they be stronger than Bai Qi?
Ying Zheng still didn't take this kind of thing seriously.
As for the threat from the West, Chen Xuan did not tell Ying Zheng about it, nor would he tell him.
Since that person wants to hide this thing, Chen Xuan naturally won't disturb that person's interest.
