Two figures were sitting upright in the dim room, with an oil lamp burning on the table in front of them. The light flickered slightly, burning the darkness around them.
The two men sat opposite each other. The older one was well-fed and looked particularly healthy, but he was humble and appeared particularly respectful.
The younger one was particularly handsome, but his face was pale and he coughed from time to time. He looked particularly weak, but still exuded a sense of majesty.
"Your Majesty, please wait a little longer. Once Madam and Master Zheng return to the country, the general trend will be irreversible and it will only be a matter of time before they ascend to that throne." The older man stroked his beard twice, then felt something was not right, so he bowed and smiled apologetically.
"It's okay. Lu Ling, is it confirmed? That person really doesn't have much time left?" The younger one waved his hand, signaling Lu Ling not to be so reserved. "You know, my health isn't very good either. If I die before him, Zheng'er and the others... sigh..."
Lu Lingmin took a sip of tea, rubbed his right hand on the table twice, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you know about Madam Qu who was in my hands last year?"
The Lord's eyes narrowed, and he clenched his hands behind his back, but he still spoke calmly, "But that Madam Qu who was so skilled at using poison? I was really shocked at that time."
Lu Ling gestured towards the king, and their heads slowly came together. Lu Ling could be heard whispering in the king's ear, "That woman was given to the king as his wife yesterday."
The king's eyes widened, and his hands, which had been behind his back, kept pointing at the wealthy man. He wanted to say something, wanted to scold him, but looking at the man's expression, he couldn't say anything.
The room unconsciously grew a little darker. It was only dawn, and the lights were bright, but it felt much darker than before. Besides being dim, it also seemed a little colder...
"Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, look, that's Xianyang!" Ying Zheng pointed ahead excitedly and whispered to Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan glanced at him, then glanced ahead, where a faint city wall appeared.
Zhao Ji looked at the excited Ying Zheng, thinking he had returned to the capital. She was a little overjoyed, revealing a bit of childishness. However, she was afraid that there might be patrols ahead that might bump into the child, so she quickly called out, "Zheng'er, Zheng'er, come in quickly! Don't catch a cold! Your injuries haven't healed yet!"
Chen Xuan looked at Ying Zheng with a helpless look on his face, yawned, slowly floated to Ying Zheng's head and fell asleep, then followed Ying Zheng back to the carriage.
After who knows how many times it had fallen and fallen, the carriage finally stopped. Chen Xuan opened his eyes and lay quietly on Ying Zheng's head, listening to the conversation outside.
"Stop! Who are you waiting for?"
"Meng Que of the Meng family, Meng Wu is my uncle. I hope all brothers will not stop us. The people on the carriage must not be offended. Please give me some convenience."
There was the sound of rummaging again, accompanied by the sound of an iron object falling to the ground, and the sound of weapons moving around. About a cup of tea later, there was no more talk from outside.
"We are also following the king's orders. We have no intention of stopping the two or five hundred masters. Please don't blame us."
"No problem, please leave some space for me, I still have a mission to perform."
"promise."
There was another clashing of armor, another twirling of iron locks, and another roar as the carriage began to move toward the city. After the carriage entered the city, Chen Xuan closed his eyes again, and the beast armor in his mind, which had not changed for a long time, finally changed.
[Ding~ Side quest (Please survive the assassination below) completed, completion level, advanced.
Reward: Domain (Elementary) How could a true dragon not have its own territory? Within Xianyang, nothing can be hidden from your eyes. You can change the topography and weather of Xianyang to a certain extent.
Finally something useful!
A smile appeared on Chen Xuan's lips.
But, does the primary level mean Xianyang? Does the intermediate level mean the entire Qin State? Then wouldn't this guy be invincible after the advanced level?
Chen Xuan glanced at Ying Zheng who had already fallen asleep. The excitement just now had exhausted his energy. After all, his injuries had not yet healed fully, and he had a child, so he had been particularly sleepy these past two days.
If Zheng Xiaozi is invincible, then Qin is invincible. If Qin is invincible, then Qin will last forever. If Qin lasts forever, then my immortality will come true. Hey, I never thought that the immortality that so many people have been pursuing for the past five thousand years would actually be realized by me!
Chen Xuan laughed in his heart for a while, and no longer thought about invincibility and eternal life. What he had to do now was to let Ying Zheng live well, live to inherit the throne and become the emperor. Only then would the world truly be in his hands.
However, it seems that this guy will give Ying Zheng a younger brother in the future, right?
Chen Xuan stared at Zhao Ji. Thanks to the TV shows and online articles he watched in his previous life, he could understand a little about this era. Although he couldn't say that he was a prophet, he did know something after all.
However, it doesn’t matter. Whether there is one or not, as long as Ying Zichu or Lu Buwei dares to think of replacing the prince, they will all die here!
Note:
The ranks of Qin generals, also known as military merit titles: one is Gongshi, two is Shangzao, three is Zanlu, and four is Bugeng. The above are equivalent to "Shi".
The five dafu, the six guan dafu, the seven gong dafu, the eight gongcheng, and the nine-five dafu are equivalent to "dafu".
Tenth, Left Shuzhang, eleventh, Right Shuzhang, twelfth, Left Geng, thirteenth, Middle Geng, fourteenth, Right Geng, fifteenth, Shao Shangzao, sixteenth, Da Shangzao (Da Liangzao), seventeenth, Siche Shuzhang, eighteenth, Da Shuzhang, the above are equivalent to "Qing".
Nineteen Guannei Hou, twenty Che Hou. The above are equivalent to princes (e.g. Shang Yang was Shang Jun, Bai Qi was Wu'an Jun). (From Baidu)
The 2500 masters mentioned in this article are the titles of the Qin army, which correspond to the thousand-man captains in later generations. The following is the rank division in the Qin army:
A squad of five men was appointed with a squad leader; two squads formed a squad, with a squad leader; five squads formed a tun, with a tun leader; two tuns formed a hundred, with a hundred commander; five hundred men formed a five hundred master; and one thousand men formed a two five hundred master. Among them, the "two five hundred master" was also called a "thousand man" and was a mid-level officer.
The younger brother of Zulong mentioned in the article refers to Cheng Jiao, who later rebelled and surrendered to Zhao (another version is that he was defeated and died). Some people in history believed that Ziying was his son (this is unlikely as the age does not match). It is not known when he was born, but he was probably born after Ying Zichu succeeded to the throne.
