Chapter 142 A private conversation with Ying Zheng! Longquan meets Zhanlu!
The next day!
Outside Handan City.
On the top of a barren mountain, there is a guard every ten steps, and the security is very strict.
Some offerings and incense sticks have been placed in front of a lonely grave.
Ying Zheng stood in front of the tomb with a look of reminiscence and sadness on his face. Behind Ying Zheng, Wang Jian, Wang Ben and Zhao Feng were waiting quietly.
"teacher."
"I'm back."
"Zhao Zheng will never forget all the teachings of his former teacher."
"Without the teacher, there would be no Ying Zheng today."
"The world, China."
"Zhao Zheng is already working hard. Now the Three Jins have been destroyed by me. Han, and now Zhao will soon be defeated."
"After Zhao is swallowed up, Wei will be next."
"After the Three Jins were annexed by Qin, only the Three Kingdoms remained. Zhao Zheng is confident that he can conquer the world within eight years."
"One day, the world will be united, China will be united, and our people will no longer suffer from wars and chaos."
"I will let the people of the world recuperate and there will be no more civil war." Ying Zheng stared at the grave in front of him and muttered to himself.
When he came to the tomb, Ying Zheng seemed to see again the teacher who had taught him without any effort, and the teacher who risked his life to protect him.
Now come again.
Ying Zheng also had the intention of handing in the answers to the teacher.
He wanted to tell his teacher that he had done it, that the world would be united, that he could do it, that he could accomplish it.
"Historical records show that Qin Shi Huang had two teachers."
"One was Shen Yue, who was a hostage in Zhao State. He enlightened Qin Shihuang and gave him the foundation to be an emperor. After returning to Qin, he also helped Qin Shihuang show his talents."
"And the second one is Lu Buwei."
"After returning to Qin, he was named the heir and later the crown prince. Lü Buwei also became the second teacher of Qin Shi Huang."
“I have to say it.”
"Both of them had a profound influence on Qin Shi Huang, especially the first one, Shen Yue."
"If he were still alive, his name would be remembered even more in history."
Zhao Feng, who was standing behind Ying Zheng, couldn't help but think to himself.
Seeing the words on the tombstone, the name Shen Yue naturally made Zhao Feng think of historical records.
certainly.
Zhao Feng didn't want to come today.
This was an imperial edict from the King of Qin asking him to come here, otherwise he would still be treating the wounded in the infirmary.
The king's edict cannot be disobeyed, so Zhao Feng naturally could not refuse.
"Bring Zhao Yan up." Ying Zheng shouted majestically.
Response.
Two guards escorted Zhao Yan up. Since Zhao Yan was so weak, he was not put in shackles.
"Let him kneel in front of the tomb." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"promise."
Ren Xiong took immediate action and kicked Zhao Yan down.
Zhao Yan was rarely tough at this moment and even wanted to stand up. He naturally understood that Ying Zheng would not let him go, so it would be better for Ying Zheng to kill him directly and be done with it.
However, all this was just his pure thought.
Suicide?
He didn't have the courage to do so. If he could commit suicide, he would have done so.
Although he is a king, he is not a real king.
"teacher."
"I brought Zhao Yan, who killed you, with me. However, I don't plan to kill him directly. I will torture him and make him watch his country and his people become slaves."
"Killing him would be too easy for him."
Ying Zheng spoke slowly.
Then.
Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold: "Let him kowtow to the grave and apologize!"
This sound.
With a burst of anger.
"kowtow."
Ren Xiong shouted coldly.
"Ying Zheng, if you have the guts, kill me."
"Is Shen Yue qualified to ask me to kowtow to a commoner?"
"I should have dug up his grave and left no trace of his body." Zhao Yan shouted with a sneer.
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed, revealing murderous intent, but he did not explode in the end.
But Ren Xiong refused to tolerate it and directly pressed Zhao Yan's head and smashed it to the ground.
"Ah..." Zhao Yan struggled, but there was no way he could defeat the general Ren Xiong, who made him kowtow to the ground.
It won't stop without Ying Zheng.
Soon Zhao Yan's forehead was covered in blood.
It continued for quite a while.
Ying Zheng just waved his hand.
Ren Xiong also stopped.
"I just received a message."
"Your good brother Zhao Yi is now the king." Ying Zheng looked down at Zhao Yan and said.
As soon as these words fell.
Zhao Yan's expression suddenly changed, and a look of horror appeared on his face: "What did you say?"
"No… Impossible."
"How could he escape? How could he become king?" Zhao Yan's face turned pale.
"The throne of Zhao originally belonged to him."
"You sent people to kill Mao Sui, who was bringing Zhao Yi back to Zhao. Do you know why it was so successful?"
"I was behind this and fanned the flames."
"Do you know why I didn't let Zhao Yi go back? Instead, I made you the king of Zhao?"
"Because Zhao Yi is much smarter than you. If Zhao Yi were king, it might take some effort for my Qin to destroy Zhao. But if you are king, it will be easy for me to destroy Zhao."
"Because you have been a waste from the beginning to the end." Ying Zheng said sarcastically.
When these words came out, Zhao Yan was struck by lightning.
"No… Impossible."
"How could you be behind my ascension to the throne?"
"Impossible." Zhao Yan looked incredulous.
After ascending the throne in the past, Zhao Yan had always been proud of the success of his planning, thinking that everything was due to his own efforts. But now it seems that it is completely different from what he thought.
Behind all this, there was actually the intervention of Ying Zheng, the person he hated the most. This was simply a frustration for him.
"Zhao Yan!"
"Didn't you expect that?"
"I deliberately let you succeed to the throne. Now you understand why I released Zhao Yi back to your State of Zhao only after you succeeded to the throne, right?"
"What I am waiting for is for you to succeed to the throne smoothly. What I am waiting for is for Zhao Yi to fight with you for returning to Zhao."
“And these have indeed achieved results.”
"Lian Po and Li Mu supported Zhao Yi, and there were also many people in the Zhao court who supported Zhao Yi. This made you alienated from them, and in the end you got rid of them yourself."
"To me, Lian Po and Li Mu are both obstacles. You have eliminated them for me. This is a great thing for my Great Qin."
"Hahaha……"
Having said that.
Ying Zheng burst into laughter.
Zhao Yan was struck by lightning and was completely stunned.
"No… Impossible."
"It is impossible that everything about me was arranged by you."
"Zhao Zheng...I want to kill you..."
Zhao Yan couldn't help it and struggled frantically to stand up and pounce on Ying Zheng, but he was held down by two guards and he had no way to move.
Zhao Feng, who had heard it all from the beginning, was also quite surprised at this moment.
"Qin Shi Huang, how amazing!"
"The king of a country was played around by him before he even took the throne. Even Zhao Yan's succession to the throne was intentional by Qin Shihuang."
“This is a really clever method.”
"No wonder they were able to unify the world."
"Charming old ancestor!"
Zhao Feng was full of admiration for Ying Zheng in his heart.
Although Ying Zheng said only so much, he must have done a lot behind the scenes. He forced Zhao Yan to surpass his elder brother and succeed to the throne as the Crown Prince of Zhao. One can imagine how much planning was involved.
I think so.
When Zhao Yan succeeded to the throne, there was not much resistance at all. How could he have done it with his brain and Guo Kai? Now everything makes sense.
Ying Zheng was behind everything.
"Zhao Yi has already fled to Daidi, and has also obtained the generals of Daidi. The Zhao officials who fled to Daidi have supported him as king."
"But in order to distinguish ourselves from you."
"He did not call himself the King of Zhao, but the King of Dai, and he had already succeeded to the throne and controlled an army of 200,000 in Dai."
"Speaking of which, he does have the right words."
"It's much more legitimate than the position you usurped." Ying Zheng still had a mocking tone.
As long as he could make Zhao Yan suffer, Ying Zheng would be happy.
Even though he is the greatest emperor in history, he is still a human being, with a human heart and human nature. He cannot be completely rational.
If a person does not torture his enemies in front of him, he would be a true saint.
"Zhao Zheng...you killed me."
"Kill me."
"I am unwilling, I am unwilling..."
Zhao Yan roared madly, he was completely disheartened at this moment.
Ying Zheng's words had broken down the defenses in his heart, and his most proud seizure of the throne had become a joke.
Everything was secretly manipulated by Ying Zheng.
"I said I won't kill you, so I won't kill you."
"Take him away and keep him under strict watch. Don't let him die." Ying Zheng waved his hand.
Several guards directly carried Zhao Yan up and left the place.
"teacher."
"Did you see that?"
"I have completely absorbed what you taught me."
"King's power, Machiavelli."
"I will use what you teach me to unify the world."
"After unifying the world, I will posthumously confer the title of Imperial Master of the Great Qin upon you, and let the world know your name." Ying Zheng said to the grave in front of him with a tone of promise.
Then.
Turned his head.
He looked at Wang Jian, glanced at Wang Ben, and finally stopped at Zhao Feng. "General Zhao, will you walk with me?"
Ying Zheng smiled slightly.
"Yes." How could Zhao Feng refuse?
immediately.
Ying Zheng walked slowly to one side, and Zhao Feng immediately followed him, about one step apart, as they walked towards a place on the mountain, one in front and one behind.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben stood there and watched, but their eyes were focused on Ying Zheng and the other person.
At this time! Wang Ben suddenly seemed to have discovered something, with a look of surprise and a smile on his face: "Dad."
"Just fart if you have to." Wang Jian said unhappily.
This is how he always treats his son.
"father."
"Why do I feel that Zhao Feng and the king look like father and son?"
"Look, doesn't Zhao Feng's profile resemble the king's profile?" Wang Ben said in a joking tone.
Upon hearing this.
Wang Jian turned around and glared at Wang Ben: "Have you reached the end of your life or what? How dare you still make up stories about the king? You are courting death!"
As soon as these words fell.
Wang Ben immediately stopped daring to say anything. He was just speaking out of his feelings, and it was meant as a joke.
But Wang Jian couldn't help but look over at this moment.
Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng stood one in front of and one behind, in the direction of Wang Jian and his son. They could only see the side faces of the two men. Then they looked at their heights, which were about the same, and then looked at the side faces that Wang Ben mentioned.
“Looking at it this way, they do look alike.”
"If we were to walk outside, people would probably think we were father and son."
Wang Jian couldn't help but think about it in his heart, but he was not as stupid as his son to say it out loud.
Just a joke.
Wang Jian naturally understood that this was just a coincidence.
Zhao Feng was born into a commoner family and had nothing to do with the royal family.
No matter what, he would not have any connection with the current king. This is something that anyone can think of. After all, once he has fallen into the common people, without the Jade Butterfly Clan Book, his royal identity would not be recorded. Moreover, the current king returned to Qin at the age of ten and has been in Xianyang ever since. It is impossible for him to encounter anything outside, let alone leave behind a royal offspring.
On the mountain!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Ying Zheng was in front and Zhao Feng was behind, and the two walked slowly.
But the two of them walked together for a while without saying a word.
Actually.
Zhao Feng was also a little nervous: "Why did the King of Qin come to see me alone? Is there something good going on?"
At this time!
Ying Zheng suddenly stopped.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Ying Zheng turned his head and smiled slightly.
"This..." Zhao Feng was a little embarrassed.
Although he had great respect for Qin Shihuang and had now succeeded in chasing his idol, when Zhao Feng really faced this charming ancestor, he naturally didn't know what to say.
After all, he is a king.
It is naturally impossible to be as casual as when dealing with brothers and friends.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng smiled faintly, then glanced around, found a place at random, and sat down directly.
By the way, he waved to Zhao Feng.
"sit."
Ying Zheng laughed.
"Your Majesty, please sit down. I will stand." Zhao Feng still knew some etiquette.
"Just sit down when I tell you to." Ying Zheng glared.
no way.
Zhao Feng sat directly next to Ying Zheng.
See here.
Ying Zheng then smiled with satisfaction: "I have long heard that you are a person of temperament."
"In every major war, I will lead the troops."
"Is that true?"
Zhao Feng nodded: "That's true."
"As a general, the first thing to do is to command the army. It is foolish to lead the troops in front of them. Once the general is injured, the whole army will be defeated. Don't you know this?" Ying Zheng said in a somewhat accusatory tone.
"Return to the King."
"This is what makes me different from others in leading troops."
"As I lead the troops, I will either capture the city or fight to the last soldier. I will never retreat."
"The troops under my command are highly motivated and their fighting power far exceeds that of other armies."
"I will lead the troops by example, which will inspire the soldiers and boost their morale."
"Capturing Handan is that move." Zhao Feng replied very calmly.
Lead by example.
If he didn't have this kind of strength, Zhao Feng might be worried, but with his current explosive strength in all attributes, this is his reliance to lead by example.
"Have you ever thought about your own safety?"
"I have a million soldiers."
"But there are not many capable commanders."
"And you are one of them." Ying Zheng patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder and said meaningfully.
Hearing this!
Zhao Feng immediately smiled and said, "I cherish my life very much."
"It has been more than three years since I enlisted at the age of sixteen, and I am almost twenty years old."
"Now I have a mother to take care of at home, and my younger sister is still unmarried."
"What's more, I have not yet married and have a pair of children."
"If I die, what will they do?"
"So I will live until the Qin Dynasty unifies the world. Then I will go to the south to conquer the barbarians of the Baiyuenan region and guard the southern border for the king."
The first part is Zhao Feng's true words, and the last sentence can also be considered the truth.
only.
This last sentence shows that Zhao Feng has some intention.
He knew history, and he also knew that this period of history was difficult to change. Although Qin Shihuang was an emperor who would be remembered for generations, he was ultimately a mortal and his life span would end. His sons were destined to be unable to carry the heavy empire of the Qin Empire. If Hu Hai succeeded to the throne as in history, the Qin Empire would perish. But even if Fusu succeeded to the throne, his ability would not allow it to remain stable for long.
all in all.
The end of the Qin Dynasty was inevitable.
Zhao Feng naturally had to plan for himself and his future in advance.
Conquering the Baiyue and guarding the southern border, that was the path Zhao Feng chose for his future.
Zhao Tuo could only live in peace in a corner, while Zhao Feng would compete for the Central Plains in the future.
By that time, Yan Ting was spread all over the country and had full control of intelligence.
By that time, Zhao Feng would definitely have hundreds of thousands of elite troops under his command, and it would be easy for him to destroy the remnants of the six kingdoms.
"good."
"I am waiting for the day when you help me unify the world and conquer the Baiyue. As for guarding the southern border, when that day really comes, it would be a waste of your talent to ask you to guard it." Ying Zheng said with a big laugh.
There is a double entendre in this statement.
Naturally, I have greater expectations for Zhao Feng.
"Do you still remember the two generals who withdrew their troops from the battlefield when you were guarding Weicheng?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked.
"Haven't they been taken back to Xianyang?"
"I don't know what happened after that." Zhao Feng replied honestly.
Chen Tao, Zhao Tuo.
They no longer have the chance to become generals.
And after hearing what Ying Zheng said, he knew everything and would definitely look into it personally. Even if Zhao Tuo and the other two really had some backers, they would not be able to turn things around.
"This matter."
"I asked about it myself."
"Withdrawing troops at the critical moment will delay the outcome of the battle."
"It almost led to the fall of Weicheng."
"This crime cannot be forgiven lightly."
"I have asked the court to deal with him. His title will be revoked, his military post will be taken away, and he will be imprisoned. He will be executed at a later date!" Ying Zheng laughed and then looked at Zhao Feng: "Is this how you vent your anger?"
"Your Majesty, you are wrong."
"I am not the only one venting my anger, but all the soldiers guarding Weicheng have vented their anger." Zhao Feng replied immediately.
The news of Zhao Tuo and Chen Tao's trip that day had spread throughout the army, and naturally they were despised by the entire army.
I don’t know how many soldiers shouted at the two men to die.
"Indeed." Ying Zheng also nodded.
Then.
Ying Zheng asked with some interest: "I heard that you broke through the city gates by yourself with a sword. The gates of Wu'an and Handan were broken by you alone with a sword."
“How do you do that?”
After seeing the fragments of Handan city gate, Ying Zheng became curious.
Now, of course, I have found an opportunity to ask in person.
"I accidentally obtained a magical weapon, and my strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, so I was able to do this." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
This is half true and half false.
The magic weapon is one thing, but the key is Zhao Feng’s powerful strength and true energy.
Hearing this!
Ying Zheng was not polite either. He directly drew the Zhanlu sword from his waist and threw it at Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword and looked at Ying Zheng in confusion.
"Try to use your sword to fight against my sword." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "My king, you'd better take it back. If your sword gets blunt, it will be bad if I break it."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha."
"The Zhanlu Sword is ranked in the top ten in the world, and is even the best divine weapon handed down today. You actually said that your sword can destroy my Zhanlu."
"Zhao Feng, ah Zhao Feng."
"If your words get out, people will laugh at you."
See here.
Zhao Feng was too lazy to say anything. He directly drew out the Longquan sword from his waist and pointed it at Ying Zheng at the same time with the Zhanlu sword in his hand.
"Your Majesty, please come yourself." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"It seems that you are very confident in the magic weapon in your hand. In that case, let me give it a try."
"But if your sword is broken by my Zhanlu, you must not be angry." Ying Zheng smiled and was also aroused by Zhao Feng's confident look.
"If the sword is damaged, I will not be angry." Zhao Feng replied confidently.
"Then you watch carefully." Ying Zheng smiled.
Holding the sword in both hands.
Then expand.
Chop fiercely.
Bang! The iron objects collided, and even sparks were produced.
Ying Zheng slowly separated the blades.
Zhao Feng looked calm.
But when Ying Zheng looked closely, his expression suddenly became strange.
"Which master forged this sword of yours?"
"It collided with my Zhanlu and yet it was undamaged? The two swords are evenly matched?"
"It seems that the magic weapon you obtained by chance is quite strong." Ying Zheng said in surprise.
Zhao Feng also looked over, also with a bit of surprise: "Your Majesty's Zhanlu sword is indeed a rare divine weapon in the world. It is as sharp as my sword."
This was indeed beyond Zhao Feng's expectations. He originally thought that the Zhanlu Sword was an ordinary sword and would definitely collapse and break when colliding with the Longquan Sword of the Xuan level.
But what he saw surprised Zhao Feng.
Zhanlu and Longquan are surprisingly evenly matched.
"Are you surprised, kid?"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
He looked at Longquan carefully, then threw it at Zhao Feng.
"It is indeed a top-grade divine weapon."
"What is the name of this sword?" Ying Zheng asked.
Zhao Feng took the sword and put it back into the scabbard. Then he said, "I got this sword under a clear spring waterfall in Yingchuan County. I heard the sound of a dragon when I got it, so I named this sword Longquan."
"Longquan Sword, what a good name."
Ying Zheng nodded in amazement, then smiled at Zhao Feng and said, "The Zhanlu Sword became famous throughout the world because of our great Qin's successive kings and lords. Everyone in the world knows that Zhanlu is the sword of the Qin King. I hope that the Longquan Sword will also become famous throughout the world because of you, Zhao Feng, so that everyone in the world will know that Longquan is your sword, Zhao Feng."
Hearing these words of endless expectation, Zhao Feng also replied solemnly: "I will do my best."
"Okay, sit down."
Ying Zheng smiled and sat down again.
After this conversation and seeing Ying Zheng's amiable look, Zhao Feng also felt that Ying Zheng was approachable and not the majestic, overbearing, and otherworldly person he had imagined.
Simply.
Zhao Feng also let go.
"Yan State has mobilized its troops."
"We have crossed the border between Yan and Zhao, and have captured many cities in Zhao."
"What do you think we should do?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
"What else can I do?"
"No matter how hard they try to grab the meat from your mouth, make them spit it out." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
Ying Zheng smiled: "Hahaha, Zhao Feng, you really are to my taste."
