[Qin] Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate

Night falls.

The little fish demon put on dark clothes, led Yu Qiang and Zhao Baoling, and quietly went to the location they had inquired about in the morning.

"Little master, the courtyard in front is where Ah Zheng lives now, but we have to be more careful in the future. There are Zhao people around the courtyard, which is very hidden."

When they arrived at the destination, Zhao Baoling asked Yu Qiang and the little fish demon to stop, and once again emphasized what he knew. After the two nodded in agreement, the three of them sneaked into the yard more cautiously.

Early investigation is still necessary. After avoiding the patrolling people around the yard, the three easily found the place where Ying Zheng lived.

At this time, there was still light in the room, and the people in the room were still asleep.

Yu Qiang and Zhao Baoling were about to go in first, and stopped Ying Zheng before he made a sound, so as not to be discovered.

But faster than them is the little fish demon.

Without waiting for them to make a move, the little fish demon gently pushed open the door, and swaggered in.

Yu Qiang and Zhao Baoling were surprised for a moment, and hurriedly followed.At the same time, he was ready to deal with the guards who responded.

But what surprised them even more was that Ying Zheng, who they imagined would be startled and made a sound, was sitting at the table, doing nothing. It was no surprise to see them come in, let alone be frightened up.

"Little fish."

"Brother Ah Zheng."

The little fish demon and Ying Zheng were like when they were in Heyu Village, one opened his arms, and the other consciously moved himself into each other's arms.

The look is very natural, it doesn't look like they have been separated for a few days, and it doesn't look like they have experienced the awkward meeting scene this morning.

If Yu Qiang and Zhao Baoling didn't know that the two of them had a good heart at this time, they would have developed brains and simple limbs.

"Xiaoyu, when did you come to Handan?" After finding a familiar and comfortable posture, Ying Zheng began to ask the questions he cared about.

"After you left, I came over the next day. I was with Brother Yu Qiang, Brother Zhao Baoling, Sister Yu Wenya, and Brother Shang Zhuo. Everyone in the village even made a car for me. There are so many baby carriages. The red bean crystal cake inside is super delicious, I left a copy for you, I will give it to you if I have a chance!"

The little fish demon crackled and said what Ying Zheng wanted to know.

"How was the trip? Are you tired? Where do you usually sleep? Do you eat well?"

"Of course, how can we let the little master suffer a little bit? You kid still don't believe in our ability?!" After hearing Ying Zheng's question, Yu Qiang quit. How could he doubt them? What about the ability to protect the little master!

During the next cup of tea, several people were discussing how to make the little fish monster live better, until they were interrupted by the little fish monster himself.

"Okay, okay, can you talk about business~"

The few people stopped talking and turned to the purpose of this night trip.

"Why is Xiaoyu together with Young Master Yan today?"

The little fish demon grinned, and triumphantly reported his good luck to Ying Zheng.

He didn't expect that he would be able to meet such a character on the road.He has a high status, is easy to contact, and is inexplicably enthusiastic about himself.Let him be able to feel like a fish in water in Handan City, or even the entire Zhao Kingdom.

Of course, the arrival of this good luck also brought him new inspiration.

The little fish demon understood Ying Zheng's current situation.Well, it's definitely not good.The son of a proton from another country, he is still young, in a foreign country, without a backer, and even represents the country that gave Zhao Guo a severe blow not long ago.How can he get better treatment in this way?

But it’s not good to say it, but it can’t be said that way.Zhao Guo also generously equipped Yingzheng with what princes of the same status should have.Yard, guards, servants, food and clothing, everything is available.It's just being squeezed out by some peers and ignored by adults.

Ying Zheng, who was in such an embarrassing position, wanted to become an unprecedented king. To outsiders, it was even more unbelievable than daydreaming.Not to mention such a big goal, just wanting to mix into the power center of Zhao State, and the requirements are lower, even for the noble children of Zhao State, it will take a long time.

Simply, it is more difficult to break into this group from the outside, so the little fish demon simply breaks in from the inside.

Now that he has obtained the love and approval of the son Zhao Yan, the core of the circle of noble children of Zhao State, then other people will definitely include him in the circle no matter whether they agree with them or not, at least on the surface.

At this time, it would be much easier to mention Ying Zheng from time to time and subtly make them feel good about Ying Zheng.

Of course, this is just an immature idea of ​​the little fish demon himself. How to implement it and how to achieve the goal cannot arouse the suspicion of those noble children who are more thoughtful. That's right, after discussing with Ying Zheng, the two conspired together.

After hearing the thoughts of the little boy in his arms, Ying Zheng was silent for a moment.

"My little fish has grown up too." Although Ying Zheng thought of this himself, he really didn't expect that the little guy who has been by his side and protected by him as a fragile pearl can also think of these things .

I can no longer treat Xiaoyu as a child who knows nothing and knows nothing. Such a mentality is not acceptable.My brother Xiaoyu is so capable, he is a person who can stand side by side with me and advance hand in hand.

The arrogance that had just sprouted in Yingzheng's heart due to being smarter than ordinary people disappeared immediately.

"I've grown up already~" the little fish demon retorted with a pout.

He is a fish that has lived for decades~ For humans, he is an old man worthy of respect.

It's a pity that he couldn't say this directly to Brother Ah Zheng.

Ying Zheng rubbed the little fish demon's furry head, smiled, and did not refute.

Just as the two were about to conduct further research and discussion on the plan, Zhao Baoling suddenly reached out his hand and made a silent gesture.

Several people shut their mouths immediately, and there was no sound in the room.

what happened?

The little fish demon asked with his eyes.

"Someone is coming. From the sound of footsteps, it should be Mrs. Zhao Ji. There is still some distance from here." Zhao Baoling replied quietly.

Ying Zheng and the little fish demon exchanged glances.

"Then I'll go back first, and I'll find a chance to contact you later."

The little fish demon got off Ying Zheng's lap, straightened himself up quickly, waved his hand, and left along the road with Yu Qiang and Zhao Baoling.

Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to blow out the candles. At this time, Zhao Ji should have seen the lights here.

He picked up the ink stick on the table, slowly grinded it in the grinding plate, picked up the book next to the table again, picked up the brush, scraped the side of the grinding plate, and smoothed the tip of the pen, and then started from the top. It was written stroke by stroke where the pen stopped for the second time.

After a few breaths, the sound of Zhao Ji's footsteps approached.

"Zheng'er, it's so late, why don't you go to sleep?" Zhao Ji gently knocked on the door to signal, and then opened the door to enter.

"Sleep soon." Ying Zheng pulled the chair over, asked Zhao Ji to sit down, and served tea.

"Mother saw that the light on your side was still on, so she came over to talk to you." Zhao Ji spat out a sip of tea, looked up to see Ying Zheng's book and unfinished notes on it, and praised her a few times. sentence.

Ying Zheng cleaned up the table and showed an attitude of listening carefully.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji also put down her teacup, paused, and finally spoke about the real purpose of coming so late.

It turned out that during this period of time, Zhao Ji had been dealing with the nobles of the Zhao state. From the beginning of her identity as the wife of Qin Yiren, at some point, she gradually changed back to the status of a dancer who was quite popular among the nobles of the Zhao state.

Following the outstanding performance of this singing and dancing dancer at various banquets, the adult who recognized her as a goddaughter before once again returned to Zhao Ji's identity.

Right now, Zhao Ji came to ask Ying Zheng what he thought.

Now that she has become the daughter of a nobleman, Zhao Ji obviously wants to live in the other party's house.She doesn't have much luggage, and she can go there early tomorrow, so Ying Zheng...

"I'm not going." Before Zhao Ji could utter her words, Ying Zheng refused bluntly.

"Zheng'er..." Zhao Ji's voice suddenly dropped, "Are you treating your mother..."

"No." Ying Zheng interrupted Zhao Ji's plaintive words, "The place where I live now is quite suitable, spacious and quiet. And there are people protecting me, so I don't have to worry about safety issues. Besides, I don't like the feeling of relying on others. Presumably your nobleman doesn't like me as a half-sized oil bottle. So, let's do it like this. You live in the past, and I will live here. In the same city, it is not difficult to meet each other. In this way, everyone is at ease some."

"But..." Zhao Ji hesitated.

She thought of the man's expression, when she heard that she had another child, and the moment he lowered his face, she felt a little terrified thinking about it now.

Ying Zheng's words really reached Zhao Ji's heart.

However, Zhao Ji is also a mother, and she still can't put her children aside and live a luxurious life by herself.

However, my own children are always more mature than their peers, so I don't need to take care of them all the time.Moreover, the child himself said so...

"Don't worry, Ah Zheng, my mother will not leave you alone. When the time comes, I will find a few capable servants to take care of you, and my mother will come to see you often. As you said, the distance is not very far. "

Zhao Ji finally made such an arrangement.After seeing Ying Zheng nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief, ordered the other party to rest early, and then left and disappeared into the night.

Ying Zheng stared at the flickering candlelight and wondered what he was thinking, but after a moment, he came back to his senses, packed up the things on the table, extinguished the candlelight, and went to bed and fell asleep.
