Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Inside the young master's residence.

Ying Jing was sitting at the table, looking at the exquisite dishes in front of him.

The aroma that wafted towards him brought a small surprise to Jing Dashan.

The color and aroma are already more than enough!

As for the taste, we'll have to try it to know, but I imagine it won't be too bad.

How could Li Wu, an assassin, have mastered such a skill?

"That's too much! Being an assassin isn't easy these days!"

Ying Jing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Serving the Empress Dowager is physically demanding. You've also had a long day with me. Let's have a meal together."

Although he has integrated into this era, Ying Jing still retains some modern habits.

At least in such trivial matters, they don't place too much importance on social status.

Moreover, it can also win people's hearts!

However, Li Wu acted very reserved at this moment.

She smiled and bowed.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Changxin. I am of humble status and dare not overstep my bounds."

At this moment, Li Wu seemed to have completely integrated into her new identity.

When you took my blanket, why didn't you say you were of lowly status?

Ying Jing shook his head listlessly, too lazy to offer any further advice.

If someone isn't proactive in their work, there's something wrong with their brain.

Besides, he was really tired and hungry!

He went to court at dawn, and by dawn he had to rush to Xianyang Palace. After that, he took Gan Luo on a tour of Qimeng Garden, and finally went to Ganquan Palace to coax... well, to appease Empress Dowager Zhao Ji!

I've been running around all day and haven't eaten anything.

For the sake of Qin and for the sake of the world, Jing Dashan has truly worked hard!

Of course, Jing Dashanren believed that his safety was related to the future of the entire Qin state and all the people under heaven.

I've always been very cautious about my own safety.

So before serving these delicacies, a purple aura still welled up in my eyes.

Confirmed, no virus!

Start showing off!

After having a hearty meal, Li Wu prepared to clean up the leftovers.

"I bought you at a high price; these things can be done by the servants. Someone—"

At Lord Changxin's command, a group of maids entered the hall and cheerfully cleared everything off the table.

Young Master Jing has always advocated saving food, so they can enjoy what's left over!

dislike?

The seven kingdoms have been at war for hundreds of years. It's good enough if they're still alive. Why bother with all that formality?

Only Li Wu, with her clear and beautiful eyes, followed the maids' footsteps with a somewhat longing look.

She's been hungry all day too!

Li Wu parted her lips slightly, which were painted with purple rouge, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

She's an assassin with incredible patience!

Jing Dashan glanced at Li Wu, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

You refused to eat with us, so we didn't give you the rest!

Ying Jing stopped paying attention to Li Wu, and instead closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before taking out a parchment scroll.

"Zhen Gang, this is a secret communication order from the Zhao Kingdom's Luo Wang. You will go to Zhao Kingdom first to take over Luo Wang. When I and the delegation arrive, you must obtain all the recent intelligence from Zhao Kingdom."

A cold voice soon came from the darkness.

"Zhen Gang, as you command."

In the past, King Zhuangxiang of Qin entrusted the power of the net to Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei respectively.

Among them, Zhao Ji possesses True Strength, Chaos God, Water Cutting, Wraith, Soul Transformation, and Soul Destruction, while Lü Buwei possesses Sun-Covering, Shocking Salamander, and Black and White Mysterious Scissors.

The top-ranking members of the Luowang were not always at full strength. Some of them only had their famous swords left, and Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei were the replacements for the swords.

The nets of Chu, Yan, and Wei were controlled by Lü Buwei, with the sun's shadow as a token.

Among them, the nets of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Han were managed by Zhao Ji, with Zhengan as the token.

Only by possessing the corresponding famous sword and receiving the secret order can one mobilize the corresponding Luo Wang forces.

As for why Zhao Ji controlled a larger force within the Luo Wang organization and had more members of the first-class Heavenly rank...

There's not much to explain about that.

Although Lü Buwei had done great favors for the late king, and the late king trusted him greatly, he was still an outsider.

Comparatively speaking, he naturally trusted Zhao Ji more.

In the main hall of the young master's residence, Ying Jing remained silent, and Li Wu also kept quiet, falling into silence once again.

"Come for a walk in the yard with me."

Ying Jing, with his hands behind his back, stepped out of the hall first.

Although the Prince's residence cannot compare with Xianyang Palace and Ganquan Palace, its area is not small.

The courtyard not only has various flowers and plants growing, but also a huge artificial lake.

While boating on the lake, Ying Jing pondered the next steps for Li Wu.

Although meeting Li Wu at Qimeng Garden was a coincidence.

It was not a spur-of-the-moment decision for Ying Jing to take Li Wu to Ganquan Palace.

The Net Killer is a mindless weapon, but that's not always the case.

It's like the water supply being cut off.

When Ying Jing saw Li Wu in the Dream Garden, he had already sensed it.

She wasn't just a killer; she had thoughts!

Therefore, for Li Wu, a mere first-class killer, to witness firsthand the three first-class Heavenly Beings beside Ying Jing, this would inevitably leave a mark on her heart.

Ying Jing hadn't expected Zhao Ji to be so generous, handing over control of the Luo Wang organization so readily.

This gave Jing Dashan a huge boost, causing Li Wu to be even more shocked.

Ding Dong!

On the clear lake surface, a fish suddenly leaped out, but then fell back down, only creating ripples.

"Do the fish leap out of the lake just to see a wider sky?"

Li Wu watched the fish leap and dart about, her gaze wandering, lost in thought. She murmured, "In the end, it was all in vain."

Ying Jing stood with his hands behind his back, a wisp of purple aura appearing in his pupils.

His purple robes fluttered gently in the breeze, and a faint smile graced his face.

He could see that Li Wu's heart was already somewhat wavering.

What we need to do now is to give her another push, give her a push from behind!

How can it be said to be in vain?

Under Li Wu's gaze, Lord Changxin, Ying Jing, gently raised one of his hands.

His heavy hand suddenly clenched.

Immediately, the fish that had just fallen back into the lake darted out again and landed on the boat where the two were standing.

"It is precisely because I have seen its efforts that I have been moved by compassion and have decided to provide assistance."

Ying Jing smiled faintly: "Yu'er's efforts have been worthwhile."

Li Wu glanced at the fish that were jumping around, and then at the young man standing on the light boat in front of her.

"But... a fish out of water will die very quickly."

Ying Jing's smile froze instantly.

But the smile won't disappear; it will only shift.

A smile suddenly appeared on Li Wu's fair and delicate face.

As the evening sun sets, its red glow spills across the lake and into the boats, making the fish scales shimmer.

The young gentleman stood quietly at the bow of the boat, while the beautiful woman leaned gently against the gunwale.

Sunset, lake, light boat, fish, young master, beautiful woman...

As Huizi once said, "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?"

"Perhaps this is exactly what the fish want."

Li Wu uttered a soft murmur.

"Cuckoo~"

A strange noise suddenly came from Li Wu's stomach, instantly shattering the tranquil and perfect atmosphere.

The face of the beautiful woman was also covered with a bright red blush.

Upon catching a glimpse of Lord Changxin's astonished gaze, she buried her face in her arms in shame, wishing she could leave this world immediately!
