There is a hint of green around Xianyang, and there are many more people working in the fields.
After all, they were at the bottom of the society. Even though they knew that the six states of Shandong were coming soon, they still had to go out of the city to work.
After all, if I don't come out, I will starve to death this spring.
For them, rather than starving to death or being slaughtered by the coalition forces, it would be better to violate the ban on leaving the city and beg for a few days' livelihood in prison.
Most of the people guarding the city knew that this group of people were just trying to make a living. Although they were afraid of being blamed by their superiors, they were even more afraid that this group of people would really cause trouble.
They did not dare to do much to stop it, but just turned a blind eye, relaxed the restrictions on leaving the city, and strengthened the inspections for entering the city.
Ying Zichu naturally knew this too.
If he knew, it meant that the entire Xianyang leadership knew about it.
Although Meng Que was a little worried, he was afraid that spies from the six countries would follow the flow of people into the city.
But Ying Zichu was so confident that he even told the court not to pay attention to it, so he couldn't say anything more.
Moreover, since the beginning of spring, Ying Zichu's health has become weaker and weaker, so Meng Que did not dare to really make a death-defying remonstration. He could only strengthen the guards around the Xianyang Palace and follow Ying Zichu closely.
Ying Zichu was not angry and let Meng Que follow him.
He hadn't been to Zhao Ji for a long time since the war started, so he had no concerns.
Ying Zheng no longer studied with the people in the palace. He was kept by Ying Zichu most of the time.
Although I still meet the Meng brothers and Li Xin from time to time, we are not as close as we were last year.
Ever since Chen Xuan grew up, Ying Zheng rarely saw Chen Xuan sticking to him. Most of the time, Chen Xuan would just stay up in the sky with his eyes closed, and would only come down when he called him.
Chen Xuan disappeared all day yesterday.
This is different from before. Before, it was small in size and Ying Zheng might not be able to see it, but now it is as big as Xianyang City, how can he not see it?
It was originally agreed that they would go to find Ying Zichu today to talk about something, saying that Ying Zheng was going to Hangu Pass to beat drums to cheer for the Qin soldiers.
But now Ying Zichu came, but Chen Xuan was gone.
"Zheng'er, what's wrong? Don't you have something to say to me?"
Only now did Ying Zichu realize how vicious his father, King Qin Xiaowen, was.
Ying Zheng was only ten years old, but he had developed a great power, the power of an emperor.
Ying Zichu had seen this kind of power before, in his grandfather, King Zhaoxiang of Qin. It was a temperament that looked down on the world, a temperament that only a truly lonely person could have.
Ying Zichu was not worried about whether Ying Zheng would become dark and cold-blooded in the future. He just saw that Ying Zheng had the qualities to be an emperor and had the temperament to lead the Qin Dynasty to conquer the world.
That's enough. For a king, being dark and cold-blooded is not a problem. In a sense, it may even be an advantage.
Fortunately, Ying Zheng still respects him and Queen Dowager Huayang to this day.
Ying Zichu knew that his body would not last much longer, and he was afraid that someone in the royal family would have ulterior motives, so Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao were still being kept by the Queen Mother Huayang.
In addition, the Queen Mother Huayang was particularly fond of Ying Zheng, and even told him openly many times that Ying Zheng would be the future King of Qin.
Coupled with the meteorite that fell around Xianyang last year, the possibility of Ying Zheng ascending the throne in the future is basically 100%.
"Father, Zheng'er wants to go to Hangu Pass to take a look."
Although Chen Xuan was not with him, Ying Zheng still told it.
Although he didn't know how many coalition forces there were, but since Chen Xuan said that the coalition forces could reach Hangu Pass, it probably meant that they could reach Hangu Pass.
He didn't know how many troops were guarding Hangu, but since Chen Xuan asked him to go, they would definitely be able to protect him, just like the meteorite that fell from the sky last year, protecting him and everyone he cared about.
Ying Zichu's smiling face suddenly wrinkled. He rubbed his head with a headache and asked:
"But is there anything that said something inappropriate in front of Zheng'er?"
Something out of tune?
Ying Zheng thought of Chen Xuan's appearance and laughed.
There's nothing wrong with using the word "unremarkable" to describe Chen Xuan; it's actually quite fitting. After all, a dragon who sleeps all day qualifies as unremarkable.
When Ying Zichu saw Ying Zheng suddenly smile, his frown became even more furrowed, and his body, which was originally incapable of catching fire, began to catch fire.
What's the point of sending the crown prince to the battlefield? Are they planning to regicide?!
No matter who proposed this to Ying Zheng, Ying Zichu now thinks that he deserves to die and be torn into pieces by five horses!
Ying Zheng simply brought it up. If he was really tricked into running away, then what was the point for him, Ying Zichu, to continue living?
Although he also knew that risks and benefits coexist, who could guarantee that Ying Zheng would be safe on the battlefield?
If he was defeated and captured, that would be fine, as he would be alive after all; but if he was hit by a hidden arrow and died in Hangu Pass, who would take charge of the Qin Dynasty after him?
Although both of these results are based on the premise of military defeat, who can guarantee that the Qin Dynasty will win?
The person guarding Hangu Pass now is Duke Bei, not Bai Qi; the person leading the coalition forces is Lord Xinling and Lian Po, not Zhao Kuo.
Although Ying Zichu was risking his life, he was not stupid. He knew what it meant for a prince, a crown prince of Qin, to go to Hangu Pass.
Anyi had just been lost, and there was still no news of Xihe City. No one knew whether Wang Jian was alive or dead, and no one knew where Meng Ao, Wang He, and Lü Buwei had gone.
Ying Zichu didn't know whether Hangu Pass could be defended. But he knew that Meng Wu also climbed the city wall to beat drums to cheer, but was shot off the city wall by Lian Po's arrow and has not woken up since then.
