Xianyang Palace, after the morning court, Chen Ping left with Guan Gao, who had just been promoted to Prime Minister, talking and laughing.

All Zhang Ao's men were assigned to serve in the court by Lu Jia, and they could all go to court for hearings.

Lu Jia didn't dare to do this, so Chen Ping tried his best to persuade him. Today at court, after the officials who had been lax were punished, they felt a sense of crisis when they saw the new foreign ministers, and they changed from their previous laxity.

Li Xin secretly recruited troops and practiced diligently. Although Ziying was still criticized by the people for ceding the land, he could not bear the new laws of Qin Dynasty, which treated the soldiers very favorably, so many of his sons joined the army at one time.

Next to the twelve golden figures, Ziying was holding the Chixiao Sword and practicing each move with the rickety Zhao Wu.

"King Qin, my back is caused by old age, not by sword moves." Zhao Wu said.

"I know." Ziying stabbed forward with a sword. Not only was his waist bent, but he could not straighten his arms.

"this..."

Zhao Wu put down his sword and came to Ziying's side, trying to straighten his arm.

"Ah, it hurts——"

Ziying suddenly shouted, which frightened Zhao Wu so much that he stepped back. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ziying's exposed arms covered with scratches.

Zhao Wu couldn't help but sigh, "Hu women really have a strong character."

"Zhao Xiake misunderstood, and it was not caused by Mrs. Hu." Ziying explained, "It was Mrs. Ying..."

Caiwei, who thought Ziying was dead, cried bitterly and returned to Xianyang wearing sackcloth and mourning.

Ziying was secretly brought back to the palace from Tingwei. Before the surprise was over, he met Zhao Ji, a newly named beauty, who was pestering Ziying...

Zhao Wu hid his disdain and complimented, "The King of Qin is born with supernatural power, but he can indulge the palace people like this. It is really kind."

Ziying was in trouble and couldn't tell. He was not afraid of Caiwei messing around. Unexpectedly, the angry Caiwei changed her three-legged cat martial arts, and her moves were very precise, which made Ziying a little at a loss.

If the three women hadn't stopped her, Ziying wouldn't be able to straighten her arms.

"Zhao Xiake, is there really any martial arts in this world where one can exert one's power out of anger?" Ziying asked anxiously.

"No." Zhao Wu said resolutely, "Any swordsmanship needs to be driven by calmness. Emotions are just a burden."

Ziying nodded slightly, "That's right, but this is strange."

Zhao Wu continued, "But a person who is impatient will become stronger. If you have practiced certain moves that do not require complicated movements, you will be particularly brave in a short period of time."

"That's it." Ziying smiled bitterly. Gai Nie wanted to take revenge, and what he passed to Caiwei was probably a simple and straightforward killing move, just as Zhao Wu said.

However, Caiwei can't usually learn Gai Nie's moves because she doesn't know how to do them concisely.

Ziying was a little scared. Caiwei had mastered the key and kept practicing in the palace. Maybe one day she would get anxious and she could murder her husband with one mistake.

"So, the king should get rid of her~" said Zhao Ji, who was smiling charmingly at the side. "If I hadn't fought to the death to protect you, Da Qin would have changed hands."

"I...How could I not think so, but Mrs. Bo stopped me." Ziying replied with a smile. Since Zhao Wu was around, he could only follow Zhao Ji's wishes. Otherwise, the prosperous situation would collapse in an instant.

"It is enough for the king to have one concubine in his harem." Zhao Ji said with a smile, "A barbarian, an assassin, and Madam Bo don't know the style, so it is useless to keep them."

"What are you talking about about beauty? How could the king be dissatisfied with the large number of people in the palace? Beauty is enough regardless of status." Ziying prevaricated.

"Then... why did the king dismiss the harem?" Zhao Ji said with an evil smile.

Before Zhao Ji finished speaking, the expressions of Zi Ying and Zhao Wu all changed.

Zhao Wu looked at Ziying secretly with eyes like daggers, and he suddenly became suspicious. The dismissal of the harem was done by a wise king. Recently, it seems that Ziying is indeed a fatuous king. Is Ziying pretending to be fatuous?

Ziying thought for a while and pretended to feel sorry, "Well, it was all Xiang Yu's fault for besieging the city that day. Xianyang City couldn't feed a large group of women for nothing, so they had to send them away. It's a pity to think about it now."

Zhao Wu breathed a sigh of relief and his expression returned to disdain.

"King Qin, let's continue practicing swordsmanship." Zhao Wu reminded him. He was really worried that Ziying would be killed by the palace servants and his plan to restore the country would be ruined.

"Xia Ke Zhao just teaches the most powerful swordsmanship." Ziying asked, "Inferior swordsmanship may not be Madam Ying's opponent."

"I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but there is no strongest swordsmanship in the world. They all start at a young age." Zhao Wu replied.

"Oh? Did Zhao Xiake keep his secret secret and didn't want to pass it on to others?" Ziying teased.

"That's absolutely not the case!" Zhao Wu's knight became angry. "Back then, King Zhao Huiwen summoned three hundred swordsmen to fence in the palace. Their swordsmanship was completely different. After one hundred swordsmen were killed in a fight, King Zhao Huiwen still didn't know who was the best.

Strong, it can be seen that there is no difference in swordsmanship. The living people are the strong ones."

"That's it." Ziying thought for a moment, "I'm just being shallow."

Ziying endured the pain and raised the sword, while Zhao Wu was about to step forward to correct Ziying's posture.

The guardsmen sprinted and knelt beside Ziying, "Report! Your Majesty, there is a distinguished guest from Chu State who wants to see you!"

"Chu State?"

Ziying frowned slightly, the Chu Kingdom was fighting together, no one should come here.

"It seems that I and Zhao Xiake are about to retire." Zhao Ji said with a smile.

"If so, one is my concubine and the other is my swordsman. Let's go together to meet the people of Chu." Ziying pretended to be generous.

"But... this person's status is very special." The guard said anxiously.

"Even if Xiang Yu comes, I still have to take him with me..."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, King Qin." Zhao Wu interrupted, "I am a man from the Jianghu. I don't like to receive guests, so I am waiting here for King Qin's return."

Ziying secretly laughed, what he said sounded nice, if he really didn't let him see him, he wouldn't necessarily be in Guangao when he got back, what was Zhang Ao talking about.

"Xia Ke Zhao does not need to refuse. He will go with the guards first, and I will arrive soon after."

Zhao Wu still refused, but Ziying talked for a long time before Zhao Wu followed the guards and left.

Zhao Ji chuckled, "The king is so relieved to let Zhao Wu follow? That person must not be allowed to be seen by Zhao Wu."

"Do you know that person?" Ziying asked doubtfully.
