Chapter 259 Qin’s Test(1/2)

Slowly closing his eyes, Ying Quliang felt that the responsibility on his back at this moment was so heavy.

The young master of Qin who grew up under the wings of Master Ying Xi would always look at his father-in-law with reverence.

He looked forward to the day when he could be like his father-in-law and rely on his own hands to make Qin more powerful.

But when the huge Qin State was truly handed over to him, Ying Quliang couldn't help but feel a little exhausted mentally and physically.

Not long after the father-in-law passed away, the Qin State was still in chaos and disorder. As an old enemy, the Wei State frequently mobilized troops on the border between the two countries.

At this moment, Ying Quliang didn't know whether he could lead Qin State out of the crisis at hand, and he couldn't see clearly the road ahead that was deeply shrouded in fog.

Silence lasted for a long time in the main hall. Ying Quliang opened his eyes with some difficulty, and looked at the Young Master standing in front of him with some bloodshot eyes.

"Young officer, under your leadership, this army of 12,000 people will immediately set off towards the border of Qin and Wei. My brother must be extremely nervous at the moment."

"After you lead your army to the border, tell your elder brother that if there is anything abnormal with the Wei army on the other side, you must immediately report to Yongdu immediately."

Ying Quliang's tone at this moment was so serious that it immediately made the heartstrings of the young master opposite him tighten.

After a quick salute, the Young Master immediately replied: "Brother Zhong, don't worry, I will do everything as you say."

"Okay, you go."

The Young Master's words made Ying Quliang's tense heartstrings relax slightly, and he just stood there silently watching the other party striding towards the door.

It's just that maybe the young master walked too hastily and bumped into a middle-aged man before he even left the hall.

"Ouch."

When the middle-aged man cried out in pain and saw clearly that the person coming was the Young Master, he quickly complained a few times.

"Young Master, I'm not as strong as you. This bump from you is really hard for me to bear."

Listening to the complaints from the middle-aged man opposite, the Young Master also had an apologetic look on his face.

"Mr. Zheng Sheng, I'm really sorry. I'm really in a hurry." After saying this, he was thinking about the task entrusted to him by Ying Quliang, and continued to walk outside. "It's too late to talk to sir. I

I’m leaving now. I’ll hold a banquet next time to apologize to my husband.”

"Young Master, Young Master..."

Looking at the departing figure in his sight, Zheng Sheng, who was standing there, felt helpless in his heart.

Why did I suffer such an unreasonable disaster when I entered the palace today to seek an audience with the Lord?

While Zheng Sheng was rubbing his still aching body and looking at the increasingly smaller figure in the distance from time to time, a familiar voice of inquiry rang out from behind him.

"Sir, why did you come to the palace today?"

Zheng Sheng looked in the direction of the sound, and the next moment Ying Quliang was standing in front of him.

A flash of surprise flashed through his heart, and Zheng Sheng quickly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Zheng Sheng, pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."

"There is no need to be polite, sir."

Stretching out his hand to help Zheng Sheng up, Ying Quliang repeated the question again as his eyes swept over him.

After Ying Quliang's voice fell, Zheng Sheng immediately took out a silk book from his arms and handed it to him.

"I report to you, Your Majesty, that Wei's envoy Shen Buhao has entered Qin."

"What!"

The news that Zheng Sheng said immediately surprised Ying Quliang, and he quickly took the silk book from the other party's hand.

As his eyes moved from one seal character to another, Ying Quliang no longer had any doubts about the authenticity of the news.

After the surprise gradually disappeared, a deep thought slowly emerged in Ying Quliang's mind.

The frequent mobilization of the Wei army on the Qin-Wei border cannot be just a bluff. Wei must be planning something.

In Ying Quliang's view, there was deep hatred between Qin and Wei, and the most likely reason for Wei's military mobilization was to target Qin.

But the silk book in his hand at this moment made Ying Quliang have some doubts about his previous judgment.

Since the State of Wei mobilized troops on a large scale and even intended to send troops to the State of Qin, why did it need to send envoys to the State of Qin?

Could it be that the State of Wei is not targeting the State of Qin this time?

As soon as this idea sprouted in his mind, a strange color suddenly appeared in Ying Quliang's eyes. Then the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this conjecture was very likely to be reality.

Just as a guess came up, another doubt appeared in Ying Quliang's mind.

If it’s not Qin, then who is Wei’s target this time?

Thoughts kept racing in his mind, and after racking his brains, Ying Quliang still couldn't come up with a more reasonable result.

Ying Quliang simply gave up and continued to ponder. He turned his gaze to Zheng Sheng, who was standing in front of him.

"Since you entered the Qin Dynasty, you have often made plans for Quliang. It can be said that your hard work has made great achievements."

"Because my father-in-law passed away, Quliang was so busy that he didn't bother to give his husband an official position."

"Today Quliang has appointed Mr. Quliang as the central doctor, and he will continue to assist Quliang in handling government affairs. I wonder what your intention is?"

As the new king, Ying Quliang was granted an official position. How could Zheng Sheng, who had been assisting him wholeheartedly for several years, be unwilling?

After bowing and saluting, I heard Zheng Sheng say with some emotion: "Your Majesty, Zheng Sheng, thank you very much."

"Oh, sir, there is no need to be polite."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand again to help Zheng Sheng up. The look on Ying Quliang's face became a little more solemn.

"This time the Wei envoy comes to Qin, he must be shouldering some kind of mission. Now there is no one else available under Quliang's command. Please help Quliang to welcome the Wei envoy."

After listening to Ying Quliang's words, Zheng Sheng already understood the meaning in his heart.

"I am Zhengsheng, and I sincerely obey your Majesty's orders."



Ten days later, outside Yongcheng, the capital of Qin, Zheng Sheng, dressed in dark clothes, was waiting here early.

After many distant looks and many disappointments, a carriage suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking back along the carriage, when a dozen cavalrymen falling behind came into view, Zheng Sheng’s eyes immediately

There was a bit of excitement.

"coming!"

After a while, the carriage stopped outside the city gate, and a young man wearing a red robe slowly stepped out of the carriage.

This person is none other than Shen Buha, the senior official of the State of Wei who was on this mission to the State of Qin.

Seeing Shen Buhe appearing not far in front of him, Zheng Sheng, who had been waiting there, hurried forward to meet him.

"Zheng Sheng, a senior official in the state of Qin, met the Wei envoy."

"The envoy of Wei State, Shen Buhai, has met with Dr. Zhong."

After the two parties reported their homes to each other, Zheng Sheng, as the owner, suddenly had a smile on his face that he didn't know whether it was genuine or fake.

"The State of Wei is one of the most powerful countries in the world. This time I heard that envoys from the State of Wei entered our State of Qin, Your Majesty is very concerned."

"It's a pity that the late emperor recently died, and the government affairs of the government and the public are in a mess. It is really impossible for the emperor to come to greet the Wei envoy in person."

"So I have ordered you to make a special trip out of the city to greet the Wei envoy."

Facing Zheng Sheng's words, Shen Buhu also had a smile on his face, "Mr. Qin has a distinguished status. How dare foreign ministers ask Mr. Qin to come out of the city to greet him in person..."

Halfway through his words, Shen Buhai looked straight at Zheng Sheng in front of him, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"It's just that today the doctor is in trouble."

"No, no, since I am a minister of the Qin State, I should share the worries of my superiors."

After his humble words, Zheng Sheng suddenly changed the topic and led the topic to another aspect.

"It's really a wonderful thing to hear that the Wei envoy's home country is the Zheng State, and I am also from the Zheng State."

When Shen Buhe heard Zheng Sheng suddenly say this, a light flashed in his eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Oh, is the Chinese doctor also from the state of Zheng?"

Next, taking Zheng Guo as an opportunity, the conversation between Shen Bushe and Zheng Sheng gradually became closer.

The two talked about the history, characters and even the customs and customs of Zheng State over and over again, and they laughed loudly every time they mentioned the wonderful points.

As they spoke outside the city gate, the relationship between the two began to become warmer, and it felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

After talking at the city gate for a long time, Zheng Sheng personally led Shen Buhe to the post specially prepared by the Qin State for the Wei envoy.

Gently pouring a glass of fine wine into the bartender opposite, Zheng Sheng picked up the bartender in front of him in a familiar manner.

"Come, don't harm your virtuous brother, and drink this noble title with me as your brother."

"Brother Zheng, please."

After Shen Buhu finished speaking, the two of them each picked up the wine cup in front of them and drank the wine in one gulp.

The wine baron landed on the table with a "bang" sound. Looking at Shen Buhai across from him, he heard Zheng Sheng ask seemingly unintentionally: "Brother Busha, we feel like old friends at the first sight. There are some things we can say to each other."

Speak bluntly.”
