Chapter 12 Zhao Gao's younger brother
"I'm telling you now that I'm not Ziying, do you believe it or not?" Ziying took out his last trump card.
The three people in the room shook their heads in disdain.
"Master, Prince Qin Ying is full of tricks. Don't believe anything he says. Kill him early so that King Chu Huai's troops can enter the pass." Caiwei said to Gai Nie respectfully.
Gai Nie's complexion was old, with wrinkles crisscrossing his face, and his eyes were still closed, like an outsider who did not want to live in the world.
"Ziying, do you have any last words?" Gai Nie's voice was slightly hoarse.
"I..." Ziying lowered his head and felt a little lonely. He couldn't make any sense after following the others.
Just die, he is not from this era anyway.
But one wish must come true.
"I do!" Ziying mustered up her strength and said in a low voice, "Help me kill Zhao Gao! I must see Zhao Gao die with my own eyes!"
I remember that heartbreaking dream particularly deeply. I must avenge the death of my parents by Zhao Gao.
This is a promise to Ziying.
"Hmph! You want to kill Zhao Gao? You are just a pair of dogs." Caiwei said disdainfully, "Master, don't listen to him. He just wants to trick you into entering Xianyang Palace. There must be someone ambushed inside."
"I want to kill Zhao Gao!" Ziying punched the wooden bed, blood slowly flowed out from the wound, and stared at the three people in front of him, "I don't care if you believe it or not, you can chop me off right now.
You can chop off my arm or one of my legs, no matter what, as long as you can help me kill Zhao Gao."
"Why should I help you? Back then, Ying Zheng's sword almost pierced my entire lung. Now it's impossible for me to help you kill Zhao Gao." Gai Nie coldly refused.
Gai Nie unsheathed his long sword and held the sword behind his back, heading straight for Ziying's head.
A generation of chivalrous men, filled with national hatred for the Qin Dynasty, were about to cut off the heads of the descendants of their enemies.
Ziying's eyes were full of fear, as Gai Nie's iron sword came closer step by step, and there was no room to dodge in the small wooden house.
Ziying regretted it extremely, thinking that he could advance and retreat freely on the throne of King Qin with his cleverness, but now it seems that he is extremely naive.
Above the court is Zhao Gao's world, and the knights in the rivers and lakes all hate Qin.
Looking around the world, Ziying couldn't find anyone who could help.
Seeing that Gai Nie was about to get revenge, an arrow shot through the window outside the wooden house and nailed Gai Nie's hand to the wooden house. Gai Nie's hand was dripping with blood and the iron sword fell to the ground.
"Be careful!" Lingfen was startled and couldn't care about Ziying. He quickly pulled out the arrow and helped Gai Nie to observe the situation outside the house.
On the river bank, the lights were brightly lit, each Qin soldier held a torch, and the archers in the back row aimed in the direction of the wooden house.
"Lu Ziying, you are so despicable! You actually sent someone to follow us!" Caiwei shouted.
Ziying didn't know where exactly so many people appeared, but it was probably Zhao Gao who sent people to follow them.
The person who wanted to kill sent troops to rescue him, but the person who wanted to ask for help wanted to kill him instead. Ziying felt a little ironic when he thought about it.
Ziying wiped the sweat that had dripped on her eyelids and sneered, "You are all going to kill me. Is it possible that I have to cooperate with you in death?"
Caiwei was furious, turned to Lingfen and said, "Master, let's kill this thief first, and then rush out."
Ziying was shocked. This little girl was so poisonous that she would not forget to take her with her even when she was about to die.
Ziying is afraid that the fish will die and the net will be broken. Although it is not his time now, his promise to Ziying must be fulfilled.
It's not the time to die yet.
Lingfen looked at the embarrassed Ziying and whispered, "The Mo family will not kill anyone. Let's take Mr. Gai Nie and leave as soon as possible."
"If we let him go, it will be difficult to catch him again," Caiwei said anxiously.
"If you don't leave, it will be difficult for you to leave, right? Mr. Lingfen." Ziying sneered.
The fire outside gradually approached, and the faces of Ling Fen and Cai Wei flickered in the flickering fire light.
Lingfen snorted softly and lifted up a wooden board on the ground, which turned out to be a secret passage.
"We Mohists advocate universal love without aggression, but King Qin seems to have forgotten our original identities." With that, Lingfen and Nie Caiwei jumped down the secret passage. Caiwei did not forget to turn around and give Ziying a fierce look.
Ziying quickly stood up, closed the secret passage, moved a table and pressed it against the secret door, fearing that Ling Fen would regret it halfway.
"Damn it, you scare me twice a day. If you continue like this, I will have a heart attack." Ziying slumped on the table.
The door of the wooden house was pushed open, and Xianyang City soldiers wearing armor came in with their swords drawn.
Seeing that there was no more danger, the city soldiers retreated one after another to make way for them.
Ziying slumped down on the table, closed his eyes and said, "Prime Minister Zhao, you are so fast."
"Back to your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhao is still in the city. I am late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." A gloomy male voice reached Ziying's ears. It was not Zhao Gao's voice, nor Yan Le's.
Ziying turned her head and looked over, and saw a middle-aged man who looked like Zhao Gao standing at the door. He was not as wealthy as Zhao Gao, but a little more gloomy than Zhao Gao.
"You are... Prime Minister Zhao's younger brother?" Ziying guessed.
Zhao Gao had a younger brother who played less of a role in history books than Yan Le. Together with Yan Le, he forced Hu Hai to commit suicide. When Ziying originally killed Zhao Gao, he was also eliminated.
Zhao Cheng frowned slightly. He and Ziying had obviously never met before, so Ziying shouldn't know him.
Today, Zhao Gao was afraid that Zi Ying would do something strange, so he asked Zhao Cheng to follow him so that Zhao Cheng could get a glimpse of Zi Ying.
"Back to the king, I am the younger brother of Prime Minister Zhao, Zhao Cheng, a member of the Beigong Guards." Zhao Cheng said.
Ziying also guessed that it would be such an official position. As the prime minister, Zhao Gao himself controlled all the officials, his son-in-law Yan Le was the Xianyang order, and his younger brother was in charge of the guards.
Everything that can be controlled in the city is controlled by the Zhao family.
However, in terms of official position, Zhao Cheng is not as good as Yan Legao.
This may be a point that can provoke internal conflicts within the Zhao Gao Group. Ziying is not very sure of success, but he must give it a try.
"You saved my life. From now on, you will be more than just a small official in charge of the city soldiers. When you go to court tomorrow, I will make you a commander and put you on the same level as Wang Li and Zhang Han." Ziying laughed.
Zhao Cheng's face showed joy, but only for a moment, "Back to the king, no matter how big or small the official position is, it is my honor to share the king's worries."
Ziying looked at Zhao Cheng's face seriously. It seemed that Zhao Cheng still wanted to be promoted. Zhao Gao knew the importance of city guards and deliberately kept Zhao Cheng here, regardless of the size of his official position.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to tell you this, not only will I give you an official position, but I will also give you a woman." Ziying stepped up his offensive against Zhao Cheng. As long as Zhao Cheng relaxes, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle.
As for women...
Ziying was reluctant to give up and also scared.
The beauties in the harem are all top-notch beauties in the country. I have never seen Ziying before, and I really don't want to give them to them.
