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

late at night.

As autumn transitions into winter, snowflakes are already falling.

The wind was biting, and it was still chilly even indoors.

Ying Jing was sitting at a desk, flipping through bamboo slips.

The actions of the chief made him realize that there seemed to be a little secret about the Zhao state that he was unaware of.

Perhaps we can find something from the intelligence gathered by the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

Ying Jing found out the intelligence information of everyone who had contact with the Queen.

"Shunpei-kun."

Overnight, Ying Jing reviewed all the relevant intelligence and finally focused his attention on one person.

Lord Chunping was the elder brother of King Daoxiang of Zhao.

The throne of Zhao should have originally belonged to Lord Chunping.

However, when King Xiaocheng of Zhao died, Lord Chunping was still a hostage in Qin.

Having missed this crucial period, the throne of Zhao fell into the hands of the current King Yan of Zhao.

Even after Chunping was released back to the State of Zhao, as the former crown prince, he was naturally guarded against by King Yan of Zhao, and his life was not easy.

It's the protons' fault again!

There were quite a few cases in this era where people missed out on the throne because they were held hostage.

Even Ying Zheng would have lost the throne if he hadn't escaped back to Qin with Lü Buwei's help.

Ying Jing couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He was sent away as a hostage for the sake of Zhao, and as a result, he missed the throne. Now that he has finally returned, he is being suppressed.

No one would be willing to accept this!

How could there be no hatred in my heart!

According to the intelligence network, the connection between Lord Chunping and Queen Chang was "close" and also very secretive.

However, the net of justice is all-encompassing and inescapable.

The police still managed to uncover their special relationship.

"Furthermore, Lord Chunping had contact with the Luo Wang organization while he was a hostage in Qin..."

Ying Jing frowned for a long time after seeing this message.

After a long while, he finally let out a slow breath.

"Prime Minister Lü has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Qin state, scheming for the world for decades with far-reaching plans."

If the connection between Lord Chunping and the net held by Zhao Ji is the one that Ying Jing can obtain more information.

Therefore, this Lord Chunping must have had some connection with Lü Buwei.

Having held power for so many years, Lü Buwei truly did a lot for the Qin state, and Lord Chunping was a brilliant move.

"Lord Chunping committed adultery with the Queen. Is this revenge against the King of Zhao? His hatred runs deep..."

Ying Jing had roughly understood why the Queen was so eager to take action against Zhao Jia.

It must be Zhao Jia who discovered her relationship with Chunping Jun.

This is undoubtedly a trump card that could allow Zhao Jia, whose current situation is dire, to turn the tide.

King Zhao favored the courtesan queen and did not hesitate to make her, a courtesan, his queen.

But this queen... still doesn't know how to behave properly, getting involved with Chunping Jun, whom he fears and suppresses?

Can this be tolerated?

Not only will the initiator be punished, but Zhao Qian might also be implicated.

"As expected of the Queen of Courtesans, perhaps this is also a tactic to win her over?"

Ying Jing suddenly remembered that the Empress had hidden herself in the wooden box before, hoping to use this method to establish a relationship with him.

Perhaps this is why she was able to rise from a mere courtesan to become a queen?

Ying Jing was truly speechless at all the mess things were going on in the Zhao state.

Fortunately, I didn't get involved with this woman in any way.

Even those who aren't germaphobic would find it dirty!

"Lord Chunping clearly harbored resentment towards the State of Zhao and was involved in some part of Lü Buwei's network of entrapment... Lord Chunping also played a part in the death of Li Mu in history."

Ying Jing continued to ponder.

Lord Chunping seemed to hate the State of Zhao intensely, or at least the King of Zhao intensely.

Therefore, his existence was undoubtedly beneficial to the Qin state.

"Once we resolve the issue with Lü Buwei and take over that part of the Net, Lord Chunping can be of service to me."

"A freak like the Queen Consort will only hasten the downfall of the Zhao state, so she must be protected."

As dawn broke, Ying Jing finally stood up and stretched.

The plan remains unchanged; in accordance with the agreement reached after the agreement, Zhao Jia's chances will be completely cut off.

Apart from Li Mu, the entire state of Zhao was practically rotten to the core!

The building was on the verge of collapse, and even Li Mu could not save it from the inevitable.

……

The next day.

"Your Majesty's prediction is correct. Prince Dan of Yan did indeed have connections with the Mohists. The Mohist leader, Six-Fingered Black Knight, led Prince Dan and escaped from Handan under cover of night using the Mohist's Vermilion Bird Mechanism. However, they were unfortunately attacked by the Zhao Kingdom. Six-Fingered Black Knight escaped, but Prince Dan has been captured."

Zhengang, Luanshen, and Wangliang have all returned, bringing with them bad news.

Prince Dan of Yan is lost!

Ying Jing was somewhat surprised; it seemed Guo Kai had acted very quickly.

However, even the Mo family's Vermilion Bird mechanism was stopped?

Does Guo Kai have such great abilities?

"Tell me in detail, how many people did Guo Kai send?"

Ying Jing became interested. If Guo Kai could intercept Yan Dan under the command of the Mo Clan leader, could it be that he also had a top expert under his command?

"Three thousand men, using a military formation to suppress and isolate the heavens and earth, the army's baleful aura to obstruct the Vermilion Bird mechanism, and then shooting it with powerful bows."

Zhen Gang's answer was so simple that Ying Jing almost doubted whether he had misheard.

It was somewhat unexpected, but also within reason.

For a top-tier martial arts master like Six-Fingered Black Knight, the simplest method is to directly mobilize a large army to suppress him.

In this world, top masters have already bridged the gap between heaven and earth, able to draw energy from the universe for their own use, and even borrow the power of heaven and earth to form a unique "domain" that enemies cannot resist.

However, each of the Hundred Schools of Thought had its own strengths.

A general who comes from a military background may not be a master strategist, but when he has a large enough army under his command...

Once the military formation is deployed, the great formation suppresses and isolates the power of heaven and earth, and the impact of the baleful energy also suppresses the true energy cultivated by the individual, making its circulation sluggish.

Faced with such a formidable force, even the most skilled warriors would have no choice but to flee in panic.

This world may have some mystical aspects, but in the end, royal power reigns supreme, and no one can match the strength of an army of ten thousand.

Even the Sword Saint at his peak was severely injured and nearly killed when facing only three hundred riders.

Guo Kai mobilized three thousand men directly, so it's quite remarkable that Six-Fingered Black Knight managed to escape.

This must be extremely decisive; if there is any hesitation and they are surrounded, the leader of the Mohist school will have to be replaced prematurely.

"Prime Minister Guo is a man who can get things done..."

Ying Jing secretly praised him.

"However, this action was too swift. Yan Dan has already reached the hands of the Zhao state, and the documents haven't been signed yet... We must hurry and see the King of Zhao."

Ying Jing wasn't worried about Guo Kai breaking his promise; he trusted Guo Xiang, who was also a great philanthropist.

They always get things done once they've paid you, and they do it exceptionally well—that's their reputation!

Just as Ying Jing was thinking to himself, Gan Luo sent another message.

"Your Majesty, the King of Zhao has sent someone."
