The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 24 Gongsun Yu, Li Ji?

Today's assassination was doomed to fail.

But none of the remaining people fled the scene. Each of them looked like crazy, determined to fight to the end.

There are many generous and tragic people in Yan and Zhao, and many of them are willing to sacrifice their own lives without fear of death.

It’s a pity that the strength gap is too big and the outcome is already determined.

Yan Jin and the sturdy man faced the last few people. At this time, the trapped beasts still fought hard, and the two did not dare to be careless.

This time Yan Jin was more careful and would not let any assassin get close to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng and the girl got up from the ground, put their hands on their hips and asked him:
"Why didn't you run away just now? Are you stupid? If I hadn't been there, you would have been dead."

Ying Zheng just smiled and said, "Thank you for saving me just now."

The girl smiled sweetly: "It's the right thing to do, it's okay. But next time someone wants to assassinate you, you have to learn to run."

"Find an obstacle and run in circles. It will be difficult for others to chase you. When your guards come up, you won't have to be afraid."

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will listen to you next time I encounter an assassination."

The girl smiled and turned to continue looking at the battlefield, focusing on the strong man and the boy.

The boy was next to Yan Dan, and the two were chatting happily.

At this time, only one of the assassins was left alive, and he fell to the ground after being injured after a few hits.

He shouted in hatred: "This is the God who is blind and does not bless us! The God who is blind!"

Yan Jin had no interest in hearing what he had to say. He snorted coldly and walked forward and slit his throat.

At this point all the assassins have been wiped out.

Yan Jin stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Ying Zheng: "I deserve to die. I actually let the assassin walk in front of you, you deserve to die!"

Ying Zheng stepped forward to help him up, and comforted him in a gentle voice:
"No problem. You are outnumbered, so it is inevitable that you will be careless."

"I'm fine, too. Get up quickly. Bandage it quickly. The wound is still bleeding. Don't let it cause any trouble."

He walked quickly to Yan Dan's side and asked with concern: "Dan, are you okay?"

Yan Dan has now calmed down and shook his head.

Seeing that Yan Dan was only slightly frightened and nothing was wrong, Ying Zheng nodded and said to several Zhao soldiers beside him:

"You have done a great job in protecting the enemy, and I will reward you handsomely. Now hurry up and treat the wounded and bandage their wounds. If any of you are not seriously injured, please report what happened here to the king."

There were only two Zhao soldiers still standing. They claimed to be there, and one of them hurried to report to his superior.

Ying Zheng walked up to the middle-aged man and bowed, "I am Ying Zheng of Qin. Thank you for saving my life. May I ask your name? I will express my gratitude to you."

Yan Dan also hurriedly followed Ying Zheng to thank him and explain his identity.

The strong man immediately returned the greeting and bowed deeply:
"I don't deserve your courtesy, you two young masters. You two are blessed with great fortune. The guards around you are also highly skilled in martial arts. Even without me, they would be safe. I don't deserve your life-saving words."

"I am Kang Shu from Wei. My surname is Gongsun, my name is Yu. Nice to meet you two gentlemen."

The strong man saw that Ying Zheng was not panicked at all after experiencing this incident at such a young age, and he made excuses afterwards.

I secretly praised him in my heart: "He is really an extraordinary person."

Now that I know the identities of the two, I feel secretly happy, and feel that today's involvement has not been in vain.

Both of them are royal nobles of great countries. Although I am still young, I can make friends with them and get their help. It is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

When Ying Zheng heard the name of the strong man, he was shocked and glanced at the girl: "Gongsun Yu? Gongsun Li, Li Ji! Ha! Is it fate or destiny?" His face remained calm.

"So it's Mr. Gongsun. Mr. Gongsun, you are too modest. It was this little girl who saved Zheng's life just now. If it weren't for this little girl, I'm afraid Zheng would be in great danger."

"Mr. Gongsun, this is not the place to talk. Please take a seat in your residence."

Gongsun Yu naturally accepted the invitation with pleasure: "It is better to obey than to be respectful. Since the young master has invited me, I dare not refuse."

You can do good deeds without expecting anything in return, but if the other party insists on repaying you, that is also reasonable.

Besides, Gongsun Yu was not threatening to repay the favor, but wanted the friendship of the two nobles and their families.

The situation in Weiguo is precarious now, and for the sake of the two children around me, I can only do some good things to leave a name for myself.

Ying Zheng nodded and said to Yan Dan:
"Dan, come back to the proton house with me first. Today's incident happened suddenly and it's too dangerous. We don't know if it will end yet. Go to my house first, and then go back after everything is over."

"And Mr. Gongsun is coming too, so it's a good opportunity for us to thank him together."

Yan Dan nodded repeatedly.

Ying Zheng ordered the maid to go back to the hostage palace first, tell Teacher Yan Dan what happened here, and invite him to come to the hostage palace as well.

The group returned to the hostage house.

Zhao Ji was playing mahjong with Geng Ying and several maids at home. When she heard that Ying Zheng was assassinated, her pretty face turned pale with fright.

He threw the cards away and ran to the front yard, hurriedly running to Ying Zheng's side, almost falling several times along the way.

Regardless of the people present and the dust on Ying Zheng's body, he hugged Ying Zheng tightly in his arms as soon as he saw him.

He carefully searched his whole body and made sure that Ying Zheng was fine. Only then did he feel relieved and almost cried out loud.

Ying Zheng quickly comforted her: "Mother and child are fine, thanks to Yan Jin's strong protection. And with the help of Mr. Gongsun, the thieves have been completely wiped out."

Only then did Zhao Ji realize that there were many people around her. She forced herself to calm down and smile.

He bowed deeply to Gongsun Yu and said, "Thank you for your help, sir. I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I will never refuse any request you may have."

Then he said to Yan Jin: "Yan Jin, you did a good job. The young master is fine. You have done a great job in protecting him. I will reward you handsomely."

Seeing that Yan Jin had wounds and blood on his body, he quickly ordered a maid to call a doctor.

Yan Jin knelt on one knee and said, "It is my duty. I have frightened the young master today and I am guilty of death. I dare not accept the reward."

Zhao Ji shook her head and said, "Since the young master is not injured, you have done nothing wrong. You should go down and rest first, and take good care of your injuries. We will reward you after you recover. Now that you are back in the mansion, you are safe under Geng Ying's protection."

Yan Jin thanked him and left.

Zhao Ji smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone is covered in dust today, and it is time to have dinner. Please wash up and change clothes for the time being. I will have someone prepare a banquet first, and we will talk more about it later."

She ordered the maid to prepare clothes and led everyone to pack up, and no one refused.

After watching them leave, Zhao Ji took Ying Zheng back to the back room and asked everyone to go out and close the door.

Then he held him in his arms and touched him from head to toe.

Ying Zheng could understand Zhao Ji's feelings and did not try to stop her. Instead, he opened his arms and let her do what she wanted.

He just kept smiling and saying it was okay, comforting Zhao Ji.

It was not until Zhao Ji confirmed again and again that Ying Zheng was really not injured at all.

At this moment, she could no longer hold back her tears and sobbed quietly.
