"It's a good chain of tricks."

"Thoughtful and well-planned."

"Especially the design for the northern cavalry to bring the token and surrender letter to the king of Zhao, which immediately added a bit of credibility to the evidence, so that the king of Zhao won't believe it."

"It's a pity that Li Mu...he is afraid that he will not know that he has been defeated by Shen Bing before he dies!"

"I think that my Great Qin has been unable to attack the State of Zhao because of Li Mu's hindrance."

"I don't want to be easily eliminated by this Shen Bing today."

"Great talent, great talent..."

Ying Zheng's words only made Wang Jian secretly ashamed.

Because what Yingzheng said was "a few attacks on the State of Zhao will fail", several of them were soldiers led by him, Wang Jian.

Wang Jian was completely convinced by Li Mu, so he was even more shocked at this time.

Then suddenly there was a feeling of sadness that the rabbit died and the fox, and my heart was very complicated for a while, I didn't know what to say.

At this time, Zhao Gao, who was standing aside, interjected:

"Your Majesty, since Shen Bing is so capable, why not transfer to Xianyang and entrust him with important tasks?"

Zhao Gao is flattering Ying Zheng.

Before, he only said that he wanted to punish Shen Bing for his disrespect, which made Ying Zheng murderous.

So Zhao Gao knew that Shen Bing's boy was Jane, who was appreciated by the king in the emperor's heart. (Note 1)

That being the case, why not go along with the flow and give Shen Bing a hand?

However, Zhao Gao accidentally kissed the wrong flattery this time.

Ying Zheng glared angrily, and said:

"Shen Bing is a rare weapon maker."

"It is only in the army that the trebuchet can be improved. Wouldn't it be a waste of heaven to transfer him to Xianyang as an official?"

"The widow has his own measure, so you don't need to talk too much."

Zhao Gao didn't dare to speak, so he hurriedly shut his mouth, regretting it secretly...why can't guess what Ying Zheng is thinking recently.

Chapter 77 脂膏

Ying Zheng was distracted by this, and almost forgot the purpose of his trip.

But of course he won't really forget.

Early the next morning, accompanied by Zhao Gao, he went to the prison where the nobles of Zhao State were imprisoned.

The reason why only Zhao Gao was with him was because Ying Zheng didn't want anyone else present at this time.

Needless to say, what to do in prison...

Ying Zheng was fiercely arrogant.

Seeing the group of nobles who bullied their mother and son like dogs in the past become prisoners now, crying and yelling that Ying Zheng can spare their lives, the kind of vengeance that has been avenged can't be expressed in words.

It is also unfortunate that Ying Zheng was born.

He was born in the second year after the Battle of Changping, and he was born in Zhao Guo.

Is this okay?

Bai Qi killed 40 people in Zhao State in Changping Pit.

How many people in Zhao State have lost their children, husbands, fathers, and brothers?

All of them hated the Qin people to the bone and wanted to kill them quickly.

So Yingzheng's mother and son, who were being held hostage in Zhao State, became the targets of their anger.

I was almost caught and torn apart.

Finally, considering that Ying Zheng was born as the prince of Qin, a living prince is more useful than a dead prince.

So in the end he was left alive.

It was just that the mother and son were placed under house arrest for activities within a limited area.

Ying Zheng grew up in such an environment. He was bullied and even worried about his life all the time...

From this point of view, Ying Zheng's life was a tragedy:

When he was born, he was worried about being killed by Zhao Guoren.

When he succeeded to the throne at the age of 13, he was worried about being killed by Lu Buwei.

After finally regaining the ruling power, he still has to worry about being assassinated by the six nations...

He has lived under the shadow of death all his life, so it is no wonder that he is suspicious, cruel and bloodthirsty by nature.

But at this moment, Ying Zheng was in a good mood, and he stopped in the middle of the prison:

Mr. Shaoyuan, do you still remember that you fought with me?

Zhao Xi, do you still remember the insult to me?

And that guy named Zhao Liang, brother of your nephew's seven aunts and eight aunts...do you still remember that you owe me two pennies?

……

After these counts fell, the crying in the cell shook the sky and everyone's expressions changed.

Everyone who saw Ying Zheng like that knew that nothing good would happen next.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng had enough scolding and ordered:

"Check and capture his relatives one by one, without missing a single one."

"Three days later, everything will be buried!"

Zhao Gao replied yes, and the matter was settled like this.

However, soon after Ying Zheng walked out of the cell, his high spirits quickly disappeared.

Instead, it was still the usual restlessness.

Ying Zheng frowned and wondered:

Why is this happening?

They are the people who bullied and threatened my life since childhood.

Just catch them and kill them all, and you should feel at ease, right?

But why...

Ying Zheng thought as he walked, and then he seemed to have found the reason:

Go!

This guy must be alive.

It won't be like this if you kill them all in three days!

This is also the reason why Ying Zheng came here so impatiently after knowing that Wang Jian had broken Handan.

What Ying Zheng didn't know was that he had a heart disease, a shadow left by his childhood, which couldn't be cured by killing, even if he killed those who caused the shadow.

At this time, a ray of tempting fragrance hits.

Ying Zheng looked up, and unknowingly walked to the house where Shen Bing and his party were.

Ying Zheng sniffed hard.

Is it noodles?

No, noodles don't have such a fragrance.

Ying Zheng looked at himself, he was still dressed in casual clothes, so he no longer hesitated, took Zhao Gao and pushed the door in and asked:

"What is so fragrant?"

Shen Bing was turning over the pancakes in the wok, and when he saw that it was still the horse seller from yesterday, he smiled and said:

"You are lucky, it seems like you are waiting outside the door."

"When there is deliciousness, it will appear at the right time."

"Was the stone mill still useful yesterday?"

Ying Zheng nodded hurriedly:

"It's easy to use."

"It's just the noodles...but it's not as simple as it seems."

It turned out that Ying Zheng and his team were in a panic when they started making noodles last night.

In the end, Wang Jian, Yang Duan and Sheng were served more lumps of dough.

But even so, Wang and Yang were full of praise.

Shen Bing proudly raised his head:

"That's natural."

"This kind of face-making is not something everyone can do."

"One point more water is too soft and one point too hard."

"If the level is not enough, it is inevitable that there will be more water and more water."

Ying Zheng praised:

"That's right, that's right, add more water to noodles and more water."

Then he couldn't help wiping his saliva, staring at the contents of the wok and asking:

"Leaving aside the noodles, what are these?"

"It seems to be even more delicious than that noodles."

Shen Bing skillfully flipped the cake with a pair of chopsticks in each of his left and right hands, and replied without raising his head:

"This is called scallion pancake, which is more delicious than noodles."

"It took me a long time to wait!"

Cang said:

"That's right, I'll make a stone mill again."

"And then went to find some grease."

Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he looked at Shen Bing in disbelief:

"grease?"

"This... scallion pancake needs to be greased?"

It's no wonder that Ying Zheng was surprised. Qin Shi's several cooking methods didn't require oil.

Wai is cut into thin slices and eaten with dipping sauce. This method is usually used on fish, that is, sashimi.

Sunburn is to put it directly on the fire.

To boil is to throw it into a tripod or wok and boil it in water.

Other less common practices include pickling called zuke, jerky called jai, and fermented meat paste called 醢.

Counting from the top, no oil is needed, and the fat of this animal, as mentioned before, is used by rich people to light lamps.

So this really "took a lot of work":

Ren ran to the big family's house and searched around, and managed to get some grease for lighting...

All the nobles of Zhao State were arrested and their homes were confiscated, but there were still some things in an inconspicuous corner.

Shen Bing replied:
