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

The assassination attempt arranged by Lü Buwei was just a minor incident.

From Lü Buwei's perspective, the plan had a high success rate, but from Ying Jing's perspective, it was simply... giving away a prize?

First, they sent Li Wu, then Jing Ni and Hei Bai Xuan Jian, and even the entire Wei Kingdom's net was sent.

Perhaps feeling that this was still not enough, they sent Yan Ri, who harbored resentment towards Ying Jing, over to be killed!

"As expected of Prime Minister Lü, he is truly a good person."

Ying Jing couldn't help but want to properly thank Lü Buwei.

The last person to treat him this well was the Empress Dowager!

To thank Prime Minister Lü, let's try to find a way to get him to retire early.

At such an advanced age, they still have to work hard every day, handling important matters of the world. How can it be better to retire and enjoy life?

Ying Jing's carriage was usually spacious and comfortable, but now it seemed a little crowded.

There are a lot of people.

In addition to Jingni, Liwu, and Wei Qianqian who were already on the carriage, Xiu Niang and Yan Lingji have now joined the group, and even Zhuan Hun Mie Po is present.

It's practically a kingdom of women!

But Ying Jing had no time to linger with them; he was holding a sword lightly in his hand, examining it closely.

"This is the 'Sun-Covering Sword' from the Eight Swords of Yue King; it is indeed extraordinary."

Yan Lingji was not shy at all and remained calm and composed in front of Lord Changxin.

A pair of beautiful, deep blue eyes stared intently at the sword in Ying Jing's hand, as if she were looking at some rare treasure.

The legend of the Eight Swords of King Yue is that they were forged by the master swordsmith Ou Yezi for the King of Yue, and Yan Lingji was a Baiyue person.

Even though she had never studied swordsmanship, she was still somewhat tempted by the famous sword left behind by the King of Yue.

"want to?"

Ying Jing, without drawing his sword from its sheath, lightly twirled it.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled gently, her long eyelashes fluttered, and Yan Lingji's eyes seemed to speak volumes.

She didn't speak, but her eyes answered everything.

"Then keep thinking about it."

Ying Jing casually tossed the "Sun-Covering" in his hand aside and, without any regard for propriety, lay down on the embroiderer's plump, beautiful legs.

Yan Lingji gritted her teeth in annoyance, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her charming eyes.

She hadn't really held out much hope, but when this guy specifically asked that question, it really gave her a false sense of security!

After all, he was surrounded by beautiful women, so he was obviously a lecher!

"You still haven't told me why you specifically sent someone to South Korea to rescue me?"

Her tone remained gentle and graceful, and Yan Lingji moved her jade feet slightly, getting much closer.

She was quite good at controlling her emotions and did not show any annoyance.

There was nothing she could do; the embroiderer's techniques of soul-switching and spirit-annihilation had rendered her powerless to resist, leaving her no choice but to follow her all the way to the State of Wei.

Moreover, there are even more experts here now.

When you're under someone's roof, Yan Lingji can only bow her head.

"I was born with knowledge, and upon learning of the existence of such a beautiful woman with a tragic fate as you, I couldn't help but feel a moment of compassion."

Enjoying the embroiderer's fair hands gently massaging his shoulders, Ying Jing closed his eyes and spoke fluently.

Yan Lingji wasn't annoyed; she just chuckled softly.

"Oh? Are all the beauties around Lord Changxin like this?"

Ying Jing's eyes were still half-closed, enjoying the moment, while Li Wu had somehow placed his legs on her thighs and started massaging them.

"More or less. I have always been kind-hearted and cannot bear to see you beauties suffer, so I have no choice but to extend a helping hand and save you from your tragic fate."

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at him helplessly, a blush rising on her beautiful and flawless face.

It wasn't shame, it was annoyance.

"Couldn't Lord Changxin of Qin have spoken a single word of truth?"

Yan Lingji didn't believe a single word of Ying Jing's most sincere explanation.

"I believe what you said is true, young master."

The embroiderer raised her head, her clear eyes looking directly at Yan Lingji, her gaze full of seriousness.

“It was you, young master, who pulled me out of the dark mire and changed my destiny.”

Li Wu was not to be outdone. She raised a hand and gently touched the butterfly pattern on her forehead: "If it weren't for you, young master, how could I have obtained the freedom I wanted?"

"I...I believe it too."

Wei Qianqian hesitated for a moment. She was sent here purely by her own father, so she might as well just go with the flow.

"This could be considered a change of fate, otherwise, according to my father's wishes, I should have married some nobleman..."

In the corner, Jingni began to think again, following the conversation of the other women.

Her life was full of twists and turns, but she was saved by Lord Changxin... Does she count?

If it weren't for Lord Changxin, she would probably have followed the original plan to assassinate Lord Xinling, and then been hunted down and killed by the State of Wei.

Yes, she was also saved by Changxin-kun!

Jing Ni quickly came to a conclusion.

She felt that as she thought more, she was becoming smarter.

Just like how Changxin Jun was trying to fool him... Jingni had actually seen through it long ago.

However, as she thought about it more deeply, she realized that Changxin-jun was right.

The Luowang (Net of Heaven) belongs to the Qin state. Both Prime Minister Lü and Lord Changxin control the Luowang and are loyal to the Qin state.

Whether she obeys Lord Changxin's orders or Prime Minister Lü's orders, it's all for the sake of serving the Qin state; there's no difference!

"you……"

Yan Lingji looked around and found that everyone in the carriage seemed to agree, even the two seemingly insignificant twins nodded.

They all believed that Changxin-kun was truly born with knowledge and had specially extended a helping hand to change their originally unfortunate fate.

"Am I crazy, or are you all crazy?"

Yan Lingji sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

Among the women in the carriage, she seemed to be the only one who was different.

But how could she possibly believe such nonsense?

"Young master has never left Xianyang, yet he knows about you, who is far away in Han. The facts are right in front of you, so why can't you believe them?"

The embroiderer gently raised her eyes, her soft and charming voice carrying a hint of coldness.

She could not allow anyone to doubt the young master!

Yan Lingji was stunned for a moment.

It seems... there is some truth to it!

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the embroiderer and her companions, she might have already been caught by those disgusting Korean nobles and thrown into a fish tank.

Could it be that Lord Changxin, who was young but already held a high position in the Qin state, was not just talking nonsense?

Yan Lingji began to doubt herself.

……

After Lü Buwei's assassination attempt, the journey back to Qin was peaceful.

Aside from Yan Lingji occasionally causing some trouble, Ying Jing enjoyed nothing but gentleness along the way.

The embroiderer and Li Wu are already offering all their tenderness on their own initiative, and Jing Ni will not refuse as long as she gives the order.

Even Wei Qianqian seemed to have resigned herself to her fate, no longer resisting some of the less unreasonable requests.

After a journey through a gentle, tranquil city, a vast city finally came into view before Ying Jing's carriage.

Xianyang was the capital of the Qin state, the most powerful of the seven warring states of the time.

This ancient city is not only a symbol of power but also a witness to history. It stands quietly on the banks of the Wei River, weathered by time.
