“Crackle, crackle…”
The sound of branches rolling over came into the carriage. Ying Zheng was sitting in the middle, looking at the bamboo slips he had been reading before in the light leaking from the front of the curtain.
The carriage was unstable, occasionally bumping and tumbling, shaking the bamboo slips as if they were about to fall apart. Chen Xuan was quietly lying on Ying Zheng's hair, eyes closed, deep in thought as he stared at the beast armor that appeared before his eyes.
"Chen Xuan, what do you think I should learn? My father always likes me to study Legalism, but my mother particularly likes miscellaneous schools..." Ying Zheng couldn't stand the shaking of the carriage anymore, scratched his head, and wanted to get Chen Xuan off.
"You don't need to learn anything, just follow your heart." Chen Xuan shrank back again, avoiding Ying Zheng's scratching hands. "You are a monarch, not a gentleman. A gentleman needs to hide his abilities, but you want to show them off."
"A gentleman hides his talents? Confucian? By the way, Chen Xuan, do you like Confucian things? Lu Ling said that it was just a bunch of dogs whining without any reason." Ying Zheng finally grabbed Chen Xuan, frowned slightly, and then pulled Chen Xuan down.
Chen Xuan didn't move either, just lying in Ying Zheng's hand. He glanced at Ying Zheng with his upside-down eyes and asked, "What does Lu Ling mean?"
"Whom Lu Ling refers to... I'm not quite sure, I only know that my father and mother respect him very much, and it was he who returned to Qin with my father last year... But, Chen Xuanru hasn't answered me yet!!" Ying Zheng first answered Chen Xuan's question with a confused look on his face, and then seemed to remember something, picked up Chen Xuan and started shaking him.
"Confucianism is not suitable for this era. I don't like it, and you are not allowed to learn it! However, if you must learn something, learn how to control your emotions." Chen Xuan's voice trembled from being shaken. "Also, stop right now!"
"Hehehe..." Ying Zheng scratched his head and looked at Chen Xuan lying on the ground with a silly smile. The majestic dragon head now had a look of despair.
[Ding~Side quest starts
Please survive the assassination below.
The primary task is completed, protecting Ying Zheng from death.
Advanced completion, protecting Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji and returning to Qin safely.
Rewards, unknown (depending on completion)]
Chen Xuan only felt a darkness before his eyes, and the words that appeared on the shiny beast armor made Chen Xuan slightly dazed.
A side quest? An assassination?! From Zhao? Or Qin?!
Chen Xuan's mind was spinning rapidly.
No, what we should care about now is when the assassination will come.
Chen Xuan looked at Ying Zheng who was smiling in front of him. He knew that the eight-year-old boy knew that the journey would not be smooth and quiet, but he still smiled so happily, without any awareness that he would die in the next second.
He didn't die in history, right? Why don't we just follow history?
Chen Xuan's slightly lifted spirits were also infected by this smile, and he wanted to relax.
I can't relax! If we're following the course of history, why would Beast Armor issue such a mandatory quest? Is it a novice protection period?! Or is it trying to tell me that history can be changed?!
Chen Xuan felt something stirring within him. He had originally only hoped to survive for a few decades under the Qin Empire, and at worst, die with Ying Zheng. However, this beast armor gave him the illusion that he could change history. Didn't that mean he might be immortal?!
After all, he was just an ordinary person. Chen Xuan's heart was immediately stirred. After all, immortality was something that countless people pursued in the era before he traveled through time. He was just an ordinary person, an ordinary worker.
However, what we should be thinking about now is how to get these two people back... No, what is this uneasiness?!
"Zheng boy, get down!" Chen Xuan felt his heart filled with uneasiness, and the majestic dragon head looked particularly ferocious because of the roar.
Ying Zheng was stunned at first, then quickly lay down. After just a few days of getting along, Ying Zheng had extra trust in Chen Xuan.
“Bang!”
After a muffled sound, there was another burst of smoke and dust. In the smoke and dust, Chen Xuan watched the wood break, watched the lying Ying Zheng being thrown out, and watched the small body rolling on the ground. A few bright red spots seeped out of the luxurious robe, and soon turned dark again.
Chen Xuan felt a rush of blood to his head, his vision went dark, and a surge of anger filled his heart, rushing straight to his eyes.
The people in the distance saw the carriage being smashed to pieces by falling rocks, and ran over quickly like hungry wolves smelling blood.
"Zheng'er!" A female voice full of grief and indignation sounded, and the carriage in front stopped instantly. Zhao Ji did not ask about the obstruction of the guards around her, she just wanted to come and see Ying Zheng.
"You take the lady and go first. Spear, follow me to support the young master and kill those rebels." A leader-like figure gave an order and ran towards the assassins who were rushing towards them with two people.
Chen Xuan didn't care about the person behind him. He felt that he was burning with anger. His calm heart seemed to be poured with buckets of diesel and alcohol, and then ignited by a small fire that could not be extinguished.
"Chen Xuan..."
Zheng boy!
Chen Xuan turned around and saw Ying Zheng stumbling to his feet. His handsome face was covered with several dark and bright red wounds, which made people feel particularly distressed.
"Thanks……"
Chen Xuan looked at the forced smile and felt his heart break. No matter what kind of fortune this child would bring to China in the future, just bullying a child was enough to make people angry, not to mention such a sensible child!
"Zheng boy, are you okay?" Chen Xuan flew over quickly, leaving the frame behind him aside, and let Ying Zheng hold him in his arms.
