To put it bluntly, even if Zhao Gao treated him perfunctorily, he would be helpless against Zhao Gao.
Chapter 13: Zhao Gao's Defeat
Of course, Ying An noticed Zhao Gao's perfunctory attitude towards him.
However, he was not surprised by this. After all, Ying An knew very well that as a young man, he had no power or influence except for the pitiful father-son love he could get from Ying Zheng.
No one in the Qin Dynasty took him seriously.
On the surface, they naturally treated him with respect, but this was just superficial.
Even Ying An could guess that even if Zhao Gao spoke nicely now, if he waited for a while and came to him in person, Zhao Gao would definitely keep making excuses until he completely lost interest in practicing martial arts.
Within the web, there were eight levels of assassins: Heaven, Sha, Earth, Jue, Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang. The last four were practically consumable, mere tools to complete the mission. Even so, Zhao Gao would not perfunctorily deal with them in this way.
In Zhao Gao's eyes, even sending a killer of the level of a demon to Ying An would be a waste.
At this moment, Ying An pretended to be innocent, as if he didn't feel the perfunctory tone in Zhao Gao's voice at all.
He looked at Zhao Gao with surprise and said, "Then I'll wait for the swordsmanship teacher that Mr. Zhao Gao will arrange for me. By the way, I can also tell my father that he doesn't need to worry about this matter anymore!"
Zhao Gao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He asked curiously, "Young Master, did you mention the King just now? Could it be that Young Master specifically asked the King for help in order to learn martial arts?"
"Of course!" Ying An said as a matter of course: "Since I want to learn martial arts, of course I have to report to my father. However, my father seems to be worried about my marriage recently. He said he would find someone to teach me martial arts, but there has been no progress!"
"My lord, don't you know that your wife is Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School? If you really want to learn martial arts, why not seek advice from Madam Dongjun?" Zhao Gao reminded him secretly.
"No!" Ying An's face turned serious, and he said with a rather stubborn look, "How can I, a man of honor, seek advice from a woman?"
After a slight pause, Ying An regained some of his smile. He looked at Zhao Gao with a smile and said, "Besides, didn't Mr. Zhao Gao already promise to help me find a martial arts teacher from Luowang?"
Zhao Gao looked at Ying An deeply. At this moment, he suddenly doubted that his previous belief that Ying An was just a simple young man might have been an illusion.
First, he used words to make a casual prevarication, promising to find him a powerful Luowang teacher in the future. Then, he dragged the King of Qin into the picture. This was simply using the power of the tiger to bully others to the extreme.
If it was just Zhao Gao and Ying An, then it would be fine to just give him a decoy. But if it involved the King of Qin, it would be a big deal.
Zhao Gao was very clear about his position: he was there to relieve the king's worries, not to cause trouble for him.
If Ying An confidently declared to the king that he would find him a martial arts teacher, and then failed to fulfill his promise, and Ying An went to the King of Qin again, how would the King of Qin view him?
Zhao Gao can't afford the gamble!!
At this moment, Zhao Gao really doubted whether Ying An was really simple-minded or so scheming that he fell into the trap accidentally.
"You are right, sir!" Zhao Gao nodded with a smile on his face and said, "I will definitely find someone strong enough to teach you martial arts!"
"Then I'll leave everything to Mr. Zhao Gao!" Ying An laughed.
Although Zhao Gao had a lot of hardship to express, he had to smile at this moment. But deep down, he had made up his mind that he would never treat Ying An as an ordinary boy without much knowledge and scheming.
Whether Ying An was truly innocent or scheming, he could only regard him as the latter.
Because Zhao Gao couldn't afford to lose! He had to endure countless life-or-death crises to reach his current power and status. He achieved this through his own hard work, bit by bit.
Better safe than sorry!!
Treating Ying An as a scheming person would at most be just a false alarm and a waste of time. But if you really treat him as a simple boy, you may end up in trouble if you are not careful!
After the royal tailor measured Ying An's body, Zhao Gao quickly said goodbye and left.
He didn't want to stay with Ying An for even a moment. Truthfully, Ying An, this seemingly frail and innocent boy, had truly made him suffer. He couldn't express his pain in words!
After leaving Ying An's palace, Zhao Gao hadn't walked far when he couldn't wait to order the six sword slaves behind him: "Investigate for me. I want to know everything about Master Ying An's past, including his every move in the future!!"
Luo Yang's influence was immense, reaching across Qin and the six states of Shandong. Qin, Luo Yang's current base, was Luo Yang's greatest influence.
Aside from the truly powerful figures in the Qin State, such as Ying Zheng and Lü Buwei, investigating powerless relatives of the Ying clan, such as Ying An, was not difficult for Luowang!
Unaware that he had already attracted Zhao Gao's attention, Ying An, after sending off the tailors who had taken his measurements, was clearly the main character of this wedding. Yet, he seemed like an outsider, leisurely immersing himself in his reading again.
To improve the integration of Hongyi template, the best choice is to read various classics of various schools of thought.
As long as the degree of integration is improved, it will be all-round. It is not the case that just because Ying An only studies and does not practice martial arts, he will only improve his soul cultivation and not improve his blood and martial arts.
At this moment, although Ying An looked like a weak scholar, his physical strength had already reached the level of a martial arts practitioner. His muscles were extremely flexible, his explosive power was fierce, and his body was agile. He could shoot a 80-jin bow in a row and could defeat six or seven people.
In other words, Ying An had not practiced the martial arts qi of the Qin world. No matter how powerful a person was, when they saw him, they would only think that he was born with strong qi and blood, comparable to a martial artist who practiced martial arts.
In the Qin Dynasty, there were also warriors who specialized in cultivating their physical bodies rather than cultivating their true qi. However, the one who had gone the furthest in this regard was the successor of the Wei Wuzu, the Pijia Sect.
Unfortunately, despite their unparalleled martial arts skills, with some even capable of transforming their bodies into shields, invulnerable to swords and spears, the Armored Sect ultimately failed to advance much further and ultimately reverted to the old ways of martial arts, relying on true qi.
It could be said that Ying An was, at this moment, a perfect disguise. Unless he revealed himself, anyone who saw him would simply think he was a scholar with immense energy and blood, possessing at best incredible brute force. They would never imagine the terrifying devastation his seemingly frail frame could unleash.
Chapter 14: The Great Sima Guards the Gate
Even as a prince of the Qin Dynasty, Ying An's wedding only caused a slight ripple in the Qin court.
After all, the conflict between King Ying Zheng of Qin and Prime Minister Lü Buwei was becoming increasingly prominent. Under such circumstances, the marriage of Ying An, a young man who had previously been relatively unknown, did attract some attention at first.
But when the powerful officials in the Qin court learned that Ying An had married Dongjun, a member of the Yin-Yang School, the attention soon subsided.
Before the Qin Dynasty unified China, the Yin-Yang School had a relatively low profile among the various schools of thought. After all, a major battle between the Mohists and the Yin-Yang School had resulted in heavy losses for the Yin-Yang School, forcing it to recuperate for a long time, striving to regain its strength.
Cooperation with the Qin Dynasty marks the Yin-Yang School's reappearance after nearly a hundred years.
After a long time, among the Hundred Schools of Thought, the reputation and other aspects of the Yin-Yang School are far from comparable to those of other schools of thought.
The Yin-Yang School truly became famous only after Ying Zheng defeated Lu Buwei, took power himself, and began his journey to unify the world.
During this process, the Yin-Yang School suddenly emerged as a major school of thought among the Hundred Schools of Thought, comparable to Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Legalism, Military Science, and Agriculture.
They even had a great feud with the Yin-Yang family. Even the Yin-Yang family's most precious treasure, the Phantom Sound Box, was taken away from the Mohist family. After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the Mohist family was almost destroyed by the Yin-Yang family. This shows the power of the Yin-Yang family.
The current Yin-Yang family is far from its heyday. It is no wonder that the old foxes in the Qin court took the marriage between Dongjun and Ying'an as a sign of the Yin-Yang family's allegiance to the Qin.
Such a marriage might indeed provide Daqin with an extra helping hand, but it would not be enough to change the overall situation.
After all, it was well known that Ying An had been in poor health before. Even if he recovered now, no one was optimistic about it, let alone betting on him when Ying Zheng was at the peak of his career.
Ying An's wedding went extremely smoothly. Even Lu Buwei, who had been fighting for power with Ying Zheng and resisting Ying Zheng's personal rule, showed his support.
Because Ying An was weak and had been recuperating in the deep palace, before he awakened his memories, he had not had much social interaction in Daqin.
This also led to the fact that Ying An was not aware of the identities of many guests at the wedding.
All he could recognize were Zhang Han, the future leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, the Qin generals Meng Ao, Meng Wu, and Meng Tian, and their family, as well as Wang Jian, Li Xin and other court officials who were deeply trusted by Ying Zheng.
Of course, in addition to these future famous generals, Ying An also met the famous Lu Buwei for the first time at his wedding.
Lü Buwei, already visibly aged, was rapidly losing his energy and spirit. Compared to Ying Zheng's youthful vigor, he formed a stark contrast.
This contrast was enough to strengthen the confidence of the court officials who led King Ying Zheng of Qin to rule the country.
As night fell, the wedding ceremony that had been held at dusk finally came to an end after the groom, Ying An, was escorted to the bridal chamber by maids and palace servants.
Although tonight is Ying An's wedding night, it is also his last night living in the Xianyang Palace.
Although the princes of the Qin Dynasty were not like the princes of later generations, there were clear regulations that required them to move out of the palace once they reached adulthood.
But unless they were like Fusu, the crown prince recognized by everyone, or the eighteenth prince Hu Hai, a prince deeply favored by Ying Zheng, once they got married, they would all be granted a mansion.
Although Ying An was in poor health before, he did not break this rule.
Although his wedding was held in the Xianyang Palace, before the wedding, King Ying Zheng of Qin had already arranged people to prepare a new residence for Ying An in Xianyang City.
The day after the wedding, Ying An and his bride Dongjun would pay homage to the Ying clan ancestral temple, then move out of the Xianyang Palace and move into the new residence given by Ying Zheng.
The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber.
During the wedding, Ying An, who had not drunk a drop of alcohol, returned to the bedroom where candles were lit, wearing a dark wedding dress.
Before entering the door, Ying An saw Da Siminglai, who was wearing a red long dress. Compared to her future enchanting and charming self, she was now just a big loli.
Compared to the future, whose hands, due to practicing the Yin-Yang hand seal, were as red as blood and extremely strange, the current Da Siming's hands were only slightly more rosy than normal skin color. At most, they had a few faint patterns on them, far from the devilish claws of the future.
"The Great God of Destiny of the Yin-Yang School greets Master Ying An!" Seeing Ying An coming, the Great God of Destiny hurriedly bowed.
Ying An nodded slightly and said, "No need to wait here. You can go down!"
"Well..." The Great God of Destiny hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young Master has just recovered, so he shouldn't overwork himself. Lord Dongjun wants me to stay outside the door in case of any mishaps!"
His face instantly turned as dark as ink. Ying An cursed in his heart, who am I looking down upon?
What does it mean that one shouldn't overwork after just recovering? Could he have a stroke on his wedding night?
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Ying An said with a forced smile, "So, you are guarding outside the door as Teng's concubine?"
Da Siming was frightened instantly.
He quickly explained, "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. I... I'm just... His Excellency Dongjun and His Excellency Donghuang Taiyi are worried about your health. So..."
It is no wonder that the Great God of Destiny was frightened. In fact, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the vassal states intermarried with each other, there was a system of concubines.
On the surface, it is a dowry, which seems to be similar to a future dowry maid. But the identity is often the sister of the wife or a woman of the same clan! It is more like a future concubine!
But no matter which one it is, it doesn’t mean that Dasi Ming wants to sacrifice himself! !
"Isn't that so?" Ying An said with a disappointed look, "In that case, I won't bother you guarding the door. Isn't my maid Xiao Lingling serving in the bedroom? Having her here is enough!"
"But..." The current Da Siming was obviously still a little immature. She was far from having the temperament of the enchanting queen she would be in the future.
After Ying An said a few words, he was blocked and stammered, speaking incoherently, not knowing how to respond.
Just when the Great God of Destiny was in trouble, the pleasant voice of the Lord of the East was heard from the bedroom.
"Great God of Destiny, since the young master doesn't need you outside the door to prevent any accidents, then you can go down!"
“Yes!!” Dongjun’s voice instantly made the chief minister feel as if he had been granted amnesty. After hurriedly bowing to Ying An, he fled as if his butt was on fire. He directly activated the light body technique and disappeared without a trace in a few jumps!
It was no wonder that Da Siming was so frightened. In her opinion, the Yin-Yang family had even married off Dongjun, the next generation leader, in order to join the Qin Dynasty. If Ying An really wanted her, then the Yin-Yang family would certainly not let Dongjun's sacrifice be in vain for him.
After watching the Great God of Destiny disappear, Ying An straightened his clothes and opened the door to his bedroom with both hands.
Chapter 15: The Body of the Precious Moonlight King
The red candles are shining brightly and the lights are on.
As the bridal chamber of a young master of the Qin dynasty, it certainly wasn't as simple as lighting a pair of dragon and phoenix candles in later generations. Within the entire bedroom, there were dozens of lamps alone, illuminating the entire room with bright lights.
Dongjun was wearing a red long dress, with only a layer of gauze curtain hanging down from her hair, covering half of her face just right.
But this half-covered appearance seems to make Dongjun look even more otherworldly.
"Why are you standing still, my husband?" Dongjun asked curiously when she saw Ying An just standing at the door looking at her but not coming closer.
"My lady is as beautiful as a peach or a plum, stunningly beautiful, and she made me lose my mind for a moment!" Ying An laughed and strode to Dong Jun.
"Today, you and I are married." After cutting a strand of each other's hair and completing the ceremony, Ying An smiled and said, "I hope to be able to live in harmony with my wife in the future!!"
Dongjun smiled gently and said softly: "I wish to be together with my husband forever!!!"
After completing the tedious ceremony before the bridal chamber, Ying An finally welcomed the moment he had longed for.
........................
The moonlight is hazy!!
On the roof of Ying'an's palace, a big loli wearing a red long skirt, with abnormal red clouds appearing on her hands and faint lines emerging, was lying on the glazed tiles with a red face.
Although he had been frightened by Ying An just now, the Great God of Destiny did not dare to neglect his mission. He was afraid that Ying An would really die at the hands of Dong Jun on their wedding night, causing a joke that would shock the seven kingdoms.
After escaping for a while, she sneaked back quietly.
But this time, Da Siming no longer dared to stand guard outside the palace door openly, and could only hide on the roof like a thief, keeping an eye on every move in the room.
Just as Da Siming's pretty face turned red and her bright and charming eyes were about to shed tears, she was about to hear this.
A strange smell in the room instantly woke Da Siming up.
He hid on the roof in time, and just by feeling this breath, Da Siming seemed to feel the special Taoist rhyme of the harmony of yin and yang.
The moment he woke up, Da Siming finally understood why Donghuang Taiyi and Yueshen arranged for him to guard outside the bridal chamber, and even Dongjun did not say a word about it.
It turned out that everyone had underestimated this Young Master Ying An.
After sixteen years of bedridden illness, he could actually cause such a commotion on his wedding night. Clearly, this Young Master Ying An had been hiding his true abilities all along!
He stood up subconsciously, but because he was too engrossed in eavesdropping, he stood up so suddenly that Da Siming stumbled.
When Da Siming regained her balance and was about to jump off the roof, she was horrified to find that a being emitting hazy moonlight had appeared in front of her without her noticing, and looked like a statue carved out of wood, stone and clay in an ancestral shrine.
