Guard of His Majesty the First Emperor

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Arthur brought Ying Zheng to the stove.

"It's raining outside, so don't you freeze, my lord." Even though Ying Zheng was dressed thickly and had a coir raincoat on him, Arthur was still afraid that he would freeze.

At this moment, Xia Wuju took a step forward, shrugged off Arthur, who was asking for warmth, and took out a white jade bottle from his arms, but he didn't know what was in it.However, seeing that Ying Zheng poured out a pill from the bottle and swallowed it with ease, it should be a kind of pill to dispel cold.

There was nothing wrong with Arthur, so he stood in front of Ying Zheng at a loss.

After Ying Zheng swallowed the pill, he looked at Arthur leisurely from the sidelines, and found that he really had nothing to say to himself, so he opened his mouth first: "You have nothing to say to me?"

Arthur looked down.He was a full head taller than Ying Zheng, and the two of them were so close that they almost touched the top of Ying Zheng's head.Ying Zheng also had this feeling of being oppressed and wanted to step back.It's just the pride of the emperor that prevents him from backing down.

"There is nowhere to go, and I have returned to Xianyang City. If the king is not happy, it would be better to give me a knife."

As soon as Arthur said "King", Ying Zheng looked around vigilantly.His identity cannot be revealed.

Arthur looked amused, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my voice is very low, and no one else can hear it."

"You go out with the widow." Ying Zheng also lowered his voice.

"Follow me, Your Majesty." Arthur handed over the wine-selling utensils he was still holding to the shopkeeper, and he rushed out without putting down the things in his hands just now.

Ying Zheng glanced at Xia Wuju and said, "You wait here first."

"No!" Xia Wuju said reluctantly.

The two of them walked to a small room in the inner courtyard.

"Go ahead!"

"Your Majesty dares to come in with me alone, it shows that Your Majesty doesn't believe that I will harm His Majesty, doesn't it?"

"The widow just finds it strange. Those who followed you said that you didn't contact anyone after you left Xianyang City. So do you want to tell the widow, who are you?"

Hearing that Ying Zheng said to send someone to follow him, Arthur just hesitated.That's right, how can a person like him rest assured that a person whose identity is suspected to be a spy will leave?

"Your Majesty, you can think of it this way. What if I was sent by heaven to protect your Majesty? It is a blessing for me to have a chance to protect your Majesty without status or status." Arthur still couldn't explain.

Seeing Arthur's determined appearance, Ying Zheng was shocked.

"Arthur, the widow will give you a chance, and you will continue to follow the widow in the future!" Arthur, the widow believes in you and has entrusted his life to you. I hope you will not disappoint the widow.

Arthur's eyes lit up.After all, Ying Zheng is the one closest to him, and staying by his side finally gives him a sense of belonging.Moreover, there is a desire to protect Ying Zheng in his bones. If he leaves Ying Zheng's side for too long, he will feel confused.

"What does your Majesty mean?"

"Go back to the palace! After all, the widow still lacks someone like you who can block the knife." Ying Zheng paused as he spoke, "Are you coming back?"

"If the king does not dislike it, I am willing to swear that I will always be by the king's side." Arthur knelt on one knee to show his loyalty.

Arthur's posture seemed strange to Ying Zheng.

"In such a short time, have you forgotten how to kneel?"

"Your Majesty, this is a custom among the ministers. Kneeling on one knee means dedicating your body and soul to your Majesty."

"...Get up quickly, don't let anyone see you. Let's go back with the widow today?"

"Your Majesty, I need a little time, and there are some things that need to be explained." The Bai Shilin and his wife kept in mind Arthur's kindness to Arthur. Although they all knew that Arthur could not stay in this kind of place for a long time, before leaving It is to reassure them.

"What you want to confess is Bai Shilin and his wife?"

"That's right, I didn't expect the king to know all this."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Bai Shilin's identity is a bit special, you don't have to worry about these things, I will send someone to tell them."

Arthur only hesitated for a moment and then nodded. Brother Bai and the others are just ordinary people, and Ying Zheng won't deal with them.

Arthur will not go to Bai Shilin anymore, but he will say goodbye to this old store owner who took care of him a lot.

Ever since Ying Zheng arrived, the shopkeeper knew that Arthur might not be able to stay.

"Arthur, the nobleman you want to follow is not an ordinary person at first glance, and he will definitely do great things in the future. But you have to protect yourself."

Arthur kept the shopkeeper's instructions firmly in his heart, and said: "Uncle Bai, you are getting old, and Xiao Song is still young, if you really can't do it, find another person to help."

"I see. Go early, it's not easy to hurry when it's dark!"

......

"My lord, you are so foolish. How could you leave the palace alone with Xia Wuju? What if something happens to you, what should you do?"

Before Ying Zheng said anything, Xia Wuju was not happy.Anyway, Ying Zheng didn't care about it because he was outside, Xia Wuju said directly: "What are you talking about? Could it be that I can't protect the king well?"

"Then you said that when I met the king for the first time, why did you turn pale with fright?"

"That's not—that's not because—" Xia Wuju had nothing to say.Because of what, because he is timid.After all, Xia Wuju is still a half-grown boy, and he has never seen blood before, so it is normal for him to be timid.

"Okay, you two stop fighting. Go back." Ying Zheng's voice was cold.

Two people of the same age, but Ying Zheng is much older.Arthur felt a little distressed, Ying Zheng is a king, above all people, but who can understand that Ying Zheng's life is more depressed than an ordinary person?

"No!" Arthur said, habitually standing behind Ying Zheng.

It wasn't until he returned to Xianyang Palace that Xia Wuju thought belatedly: Maybe the king agreed to go out because he just wanted to get Ying Zheng back.That big tall man is really annoying, he took away the king's favor from me.

"Arthur, you go down and rest first, it's fine for Xia Wuju to stay and serve the widow."

"promise!"

After Arthur left, Ying Zheng looked at Xia Wuju and said, "Did the widow ask you to bring the person back?"

"Bring it." Xia Wuju said, "Does Your Majesty want to see him?"

"Bring someone up and go down. You don't need someone to serve you here."

"But--"

Xia Wuju still wanted to say something, but the seriousness on Ying Zheng's face made him know that what he said was useless, so he had to back down.

The person Xia Wuju brought up was precisely Bai Shilin.

"The grass people have seen the king."

"Get up!" Ying Zheng said, "Everyone knows about you and Arthur."

"Your Majesty, Arthur is definitely not a spy. He—"

"You don't have to rush to defend him. If you don't believe him, the widow would have killed him long ago. What the widow is going to say is you now."

"Caomin?" There was a trace of panic in Bai Shilin's eyes, and he pretended to be calm and asked, "Caomin is a commoner, do you know what has offended the king?"

"Mr. Bai, you don't have to look down on yourself so much. The descendants of Lord Wu'an are still very admired." Ying Zheng said the words "Mr. Wu'an" easily, but Bai Shilin broke out in a cold sweat.

"What the king is talking about, the grass people don't know."

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it. Since the widow has said it, there is a reason for it. I won't believe you just because you deny it."

"..." Bai Shilin was silent for a long time, and said, "What about your majesty?"

"What does Mr. Bai hope for the widow?"

"My wife is superficial, and my child is ignorant, and I don't know this past. I only hope that the king can save their lives."

"I'm afraid Mr. Bai has misunderstood you. I never said that I would punish you." Ying Zheng smiled, "It was a pity for the Qin Kingdom that Mr. Wu An committed suicide at the beginning. I will never make such a mistake again. I accidentally Knowing that Mr. Bai is a descendant of Lord Wu An, I want to ask Mr. if you would like to serve the widow and create a great Qin glory?"

"This—" Bai Shilin hesitated.

"The widow will give you time to think about it, as long as it takes. I just hope that you don't disappoint the widow." Ying Zheng said as he took a piece of jade from his waist. .”

Bai Shilin reached out and took Yu Jue: "The grass people know."
