"You two, find some reliable people, pick two smart ones to meet Lord Jingyang, the eldest son of Lord Gaoling, and the rest will go find other nobles of Great Qin and give them oral instructions..."

Queen Mother Huayang looked at Yunxuan in front of her and her confidant eunuch, and after whispering a few words, their expressions changed continuously, and then they retreated respectfully.

Wait until the two of them leave,

Queen Mother Huayang then said with a cold look on her face: "No one can disobey my wishes, even if you win against Zi Chu."

…

Gongzi Mansion,

Because Ying Zichu was worried, he asked Zhao Qingyun to go over again to confirm Zhao Zheng's injuries and also brought him the results of the in-utero treatment.

After hearing that Ji Changsheng, Ji Jihu, and even Ying Kui were all conferred heads, Zhao Zheng had no reaction at all.

But when he heard that Ying Fu was under house arrest and what he wanted to convey, his expression changed.

Then he asked again: "Eunuch Zhao, did you say that Ying Fu is under house arrest in Lingyan Pavilion?"

"Exactly."

Zhao Qingyun nodded and said, "I wonder what Mr. Zizheng has in mind?"

"I would like to see Ying Fu. I wonder if my father will allow it?"

"Ying Fu is now a tiger with his teeth pulled out and his claws broken. If Young Master Zheng wants to see him, I can ask the king first."

"Then I'll trouble Eunuch Zhao."

Zhao Zheng said this in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, which made Zhao Qingyun happy from the bottom of his heart, but then he asked: "Gong Zizheng, your Majesty wants to know who sent Li Dingshan."

"I don't know."

Zhao Zheng shook his head and said: "Even if Long Cai and Meng Changdong took action, they didn't get any useful information. They only knew that it was an old woman in disguise."

"My slave understands."

Zhao Qingyun nodded and secretly said that Zhao Zheng's answer was indeed as expected by the king, so he resigned and returned to the palace.

Send Zhao Qingyun away,

Zhao Zheng then went to the backyard to practice swordplay, as if Ying Fu and Ying Kui's deaths had nothing to do with him.

On the second day,

Zhao Zheng first went to the harem to meet Zhao Ji and Queen Mother Xia, then went to Zhangtai Palace to see Ying Zichu, and left two-quarters of an hour later with the token to enter Lingyan Pavilion.

At three quarters of noon,

Zhao Zheng carried some exquisite food and came to the outside of Lingyan Pavilion. After looking at the token, the guards guarding the place let him go.

At the same time, a guard commander and six men were hanging far behind Zhao Zheng.

In Lingyan Pavilion,

Ying Fu seemed not to be surprised by Zhao Zheng's visit, but instead felt a little bit disappointed.

Looking at the delicacies that Zhao Zheng placed on the table one by one, Ying Fu patted his big belly and said, "I thought you would come yesterday afternoon."

"Sword practice."

Zhao Zheng's concise and casual answer made Ying Fu a little overwhelmed, and then he smiled and said: "You are very skilled in placing dishes."

"When I was in Zhao State, I had no one to serve me, so I had to do everything myself."

After Zhao Zheng finished speaking,

Putting a pot of bitter wine in front of Ying Fu, he sat down opposite Ying Fu and said, "I wonder if this Da Qin bitter wine is still to your liking, Lord Jingyang?"

"Bitter?"

Ying Fu stared at the wine pot and said thoughtfully: "Are you letting me remember the bitterness and sweetness here?"

"At least, Lord Jingyang is still alive."

Zhao Zheng took a bite of the dish casually, nodded and said: "The palace cook made it, Lord Jingyang might as well try it to see if it suits your taste."

After hearing this, Ying Fu laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "So what if we get along? So what if we don't get along?"

"If it matches, eat more; if it doesn't match, eat less. After all, this is Xianyang Palace, not Lord Jingyang's Jingyang Mansion."

"Just like this low-quality bitter wine, I have no choice?"

"Yes, but I think Lord Jingyang wouldn't choose that path for the sake of his family, otherwise he wouldn't have said so many words to me."

Click!

The upper part of the copper wine pot was instantly crushed into a ball by Ying Fu. His eyes flashed with a ferocious light only seen in beasts, and he stared at Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng didn't even look at the other person, but said casually: "Jingyang Jun, there is only one pot of wine."

Ying Fu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Zhao Zheng, how can I say that I am also your elder? You talk about Jingyang Lord, which makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"Everyone in Xianyang knows that I don't know the rules. If Mr. Jingyang feels uncomfortable, he can only endure it for now."

Seeing Zhao Zheng's lack of energy, no matter how good Ying Fu was at nourishing his heart, he couldn't help but get angry.

But it was indeed as Zhao Zheng thought, he did not dare to take action.

After a while,

Ying Fu smiled miserably and said: "They say that Young Master Zheng is domineering and his mind is far beyond ordinary people. I didn't believe it before, but now I am convinced."

"Zhao Zheng, you came to me today just to show off your power in front of me, right?"

"Jingyang Jun guessed well."

After hearing this, Zhao Zheng stopped eating, looked at the livid Ying Fu in front of him, and said in a strong tone:

"I would like to know, besides you and Lord Gao Ling, who else can mobilize Li Dingshan."

"Sure enough... you really deserve to die!"

After hearing this, Ying Fu suddenly had veins on his forehead. He looked at Zhao Zheng with murderous eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Gaoling Jun, father and son, and my son, they really died unjustly!"

"Jingyang Jun, we are not discussing whether they were unjust or not. Besides, it is better to kill two or three people than to kill everyone."

Zhao Zheng looked contemptuous and his body was as motionless as a rock. He looked at Ying Fu and asked, "Didn't Mr. Jingyang also address that person to what he said yesterday?"

Ying Fu suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Since you know everything, why do you still come to ask me?"

"Just checking."

Zhao Zheng looked directly into Ying Fu's eyes and continued to ask: "At the same time, I also want to know what the old Qin nobles will do next based on their behavior."

Ying Fu closed his eyes, patted his stomach rhythmically with his right hand, and said sarcastically: "Wouldn't it be better for you to ask Ying Zichu?"

Zhao Zheng said bluntly: "My father never told me some things, so I came to ask you."

"That's right. With your nature, you will eradicate the danger when you sense it, but you still can't kill that person."

Ying Fu opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Zhao Zheng, and said without joy or sorrow: "Everyone knows that the war between Qin and Zhao in the north is about to begin, but who knows that the Chu army in the south has already assembled at the border."

Ying Fu raised his right index finger and said solemnly: "As long as there is an excuse that is not an excuse, 300,000 Chu troops can march straight in and attack our Daqin territory."

"My lord, I understand. Thank you very much, Mr. Jingyang, for your guidance."

Zhao Zheng nodded, stood up and walked outside. Looking at Zhao Zheng's leaving figure, Ying Fu grabbed the wine bottle and took a big sip of bitter wine.
