Chapter 27: The surge of various forces



As for what he promised to Duke Wen of Zhou, it was nothing more than a lifetime of wealth and prosperity, an uninterrupted sacrifice to the ancestors, and the promise to gather the people of Yang for him to make a private plot.

It didn't matter whether Duke Wen of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would agree or how he agreed. He had no use for the feng shui map. If he had been more honest, he might have enjoyed wealth and honor. If he had been dishonest, even if he had really changed someone else, who would have known?

Ying Zichu didn't give much thought to the question of whether the feng shui map was real or not. If it was real, it would at most allow Wang He to travel less and speed up his pace; if it was fake, it wouldn't cause any trouble.

"Your Majesty, it's time to return to the palace." Meng Que approached cautiously. Ever since the army set out, Ying Zichu had been in a bad mood. Although he hadn't hit or scolded Meng Que, Meng Que was still more respectful.

After all, Ying Zichu's health had only improved a little, and he still couldn't get tired or angry.

"Oh? Is it time again?" Ying Zichu looked back at Meng Que and said with a smile.

"Not really. It's just that the palace sent a message saying that the Queen Mother wants to see the King." Meng Que lowered his head and replied, "It seems that the young master has the same idea."

"Then let's go back." Ying Zichu glanced at the setting sun again and walked towards the palace. Meng Que waited a moment, and after Ying Zichu had taken three steps, he followed him at a leisurely pace, keeping the distance between them within three steps.

The Xianyang Palace was still quite lively, as the people inside were unaware of what was happening outside. Although Ying Zheng knew a little, he was not afraid, after all, he had Chen Xuan with him.

Although Chen Xuan didn't know whether this war had ever happened in history, since the general trend could not be defied, this war would not be lost no matter what.

Some time ago, Chen Xuan finally figured out how to use the Soldier Soul: Gale. Although he was not overly satisfied, it was still a great help.

Add to that the unknown effectiveness of the White Tiger Army, and even if the six states of Shandong joined forces, they wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat the Qin army at this point. Not to mention that this war was against two extremely weak vassal states, Han and Dong Zhou.

The historical trend bonus has been added with a modifier. How can you lose a game with a dragon riding on your face?

Therefore, Chen Xuan would not be troubled by the war, and was even looking forward to what the war would bring him.

The beast armor had an extra piece some time ago. Although it can only be seen in that dark space, it is a golden finger after all, and it is better to have it than not.

Moreover, since the appearance of the beast armor, Chen Xuan has not been so sleepy, and his body has stopped growing. Although he can no longer lie on Ying Zheng's head, he can still hang on Ying Zheng's back.

As for whether Ying Zheng would feel uncomfortable, Chen Xuan said that this was a project to help Zheng boy avoid hunching over, and it was not hung up because of laziness.

Ying Zheng has grown taller and gained some weight in the past few days. At least he is not as thin as before, and he looks as bony as a sick beauty.

Chen Xuan watched Ying Zheng grow up day by day and finally understood why Taishigong was called the number one person who discredited the First Emperor. Ying Zheng's appearance was nothing like the one he described.

"Chen Xuan, can't you come down? This makes me very tired!" Ying Zheng complained again, but since Chen Xuan fell asleep, he seemed to be getting heavier. At least now Ying Zheng couldn't pick Chen Xuan up easily.

"No, I'm a little tired again and want to sleep for a while." After saying that, Chen Xuan closed his eyes and hung his body on Ying Zheng and floated.

Ying Zheng shook his body in annoyance, but when he couldn't shake it off, he sighed resignedly and let Chen Xuan hang on his back.

Queen Mother Huayang and Queen Mother Xia watched Ying Zheng from a distance and found him adorable. As for Zhao Ji, she sat inside the house with her belly bulging, and the door was only slightly open, for fear of disturbing her belly.

Zhao Ji had been pregnant with Cheng Jiao for quite some time, and she was due to give birth this month. Therefore, although Queen Dowager Huayang and Queen Dowager Xia did not like this daughter-in-law very much, they still took care of her for the sake of the other child who had not gone out.

"Sister, tell me, is it better for this lady to give birth to a son or a princess?" Queen Dowager Xia talked to Queen Dowager Huayang in a casual manner.

"I? I hope it's a princess. It's enough for the prince to have only Zheng'er. It's not good to have more." It was for this reason that the Queen Mother Huayang had never allowed Ying Zichu to take another concubine, even though he had already appointed Zhao Ji as his principal wife and Ying Zheng as the crown prince.

"Sister, I have the same idea as you. It is enough for you, my lord, to have only Zheng'er." Although Queen Dowager Xia was Ying Zichu's biological mother, her power and status were still inferior to those of Queen Dowager Huayang. After all, Queen Dowager Huayang was the wife of King Xiaowen of Qin and the nominal mother of Ying Zichu.

Queen Dowager Huayang said "hmm" and ignored Queen Dowager Xia. She looked at Ying Zheng quietly, fearing that something might happen to him.

Queen Mother Xia also knew that she shouldn't say anything more, so she followed Queen Mother Huayang's gaze and looked at Ying Zheng.

This seems to be a good idea.
