The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 91: Finding Luowang and Asking for Someone
It was just the third year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, and Ying Zheng couldn't help feeling a little worried. There were too many things to worry about, and this year was destined not to be a year worth being happy about.

Of course, no one else knew what Ying Zheng was thinking.

This year, Ying Zheng's height is more than seven feet (about 23 cm in Qin ruler), and he looks more heroic and upright, and has a certain majestic demeanor.

Yan Jin came to see him excitedly, and Ying Zheng summoned him into the palace and asked, "Yan Jin, what good news is there that makes you so happy?"

Yan Jin's status has risen rapidly in recent years, and he has become very popular. Everyone knows that he is the prince's confidant and is in charge of the prince's guard of honor.

As for being in charge of the Prince's Guard, he is not qualified. In recent years, with Zichu's tacit approval, many families with military merits have begun to arrange their descendants to join the Prince's Guard, just like Meng Tian from the Meng family, Wang Li from the Wang family, and Li Xin were all thrown in at a young age.

Everyone has sharp eyes and knows clearly who is the hope for the future. Since the king has acquiesced, naturally everyone will immediately express their attitude and follow suit.

Naturally, Ying Zheng was also happy to see this situation. He had always treated his own Crown Prince's Guards very well and showed great care for them. He tried his best to inspect them every day, train them daily, take them out hunting, and show their military strength, so that everyone knew his face. These people would be his trusted team in the future.

After Yan Jin paid his respects, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, Luowang is in a really bad situation right now. All the real elites and talents have been taken away by me."

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Why, Prime Minister Lu didn't say anything about you?"

"As long as I don't go too far, the Prime Minister will always support me."

In the past few years, Luowang has not only failed to grow stronger, but has become somewhat sluggish, because as long as there are newly trained elite soldiers, Yan Jin will definitely come to pick them. The point is, the people of Luowang are all eager for Yan Jin to pick people, but they are all useless.

The last sentence was what Yanri really thought, but he dared not say anything out loud.

Ying Zheng asked: "You are so happy today, have you picked some new talents?"

Yan Jin quickly complimented him and said with a smile, "Your Highness is so good at predicting things. I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I found two good talents. Besides you, one of them is a martial arts genius that I have never seen before. Yanri wanted to hide these two people, and he hid them very well. If someone hadn't reported it, I wouldn't have known about it."

Ying Zheng's heart moved, he became interested, and asked: "Why, you didn't ask for the person to come over?"

Yan Jin shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this time you need to ask for it yourself. I went to ask for it, but Yanri refused to give it to me. It is not easy for me to go and find the Prime Minister."

Ying Zheng said: "Okay, I understand. Go and call Yanri over, and I will speak to him myself."

"By the way, when your third child is about to be born, please ask the imperial hospital to come over in advance. It would be best if it's a son. Otherwise, your title will belong to someone else."

Yan Jin bowed and said, "I don't care about these things anymore. Your Highness, I will never be able to repay your kindness in giving me a new life."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "You, why are you talking about this again? Go now."

Yan Jin chuckled and said, "I'll take my leave now."

Yanri had hated Yanjin since a long time ago. Today, when he saw him coming over happily, he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he had no choice but to force a smile: "Commander Yanjin, I wonder what important matter is there for you to visit today?"

Yan Jin smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered Yan to come to the throne immediately."

Yanri felt a chill in his heart, thinking back to the time when Yanjin asked him for someone a few days ago, and knew he couldn't keep her, even if he had informed the prime minister in advance. Yanjin was full of joy, and then said, "Let's go together now."

Yanri followed Yanjin with heavy steps, his back looking very desolate.

When they arrived at the Crown Prince's Palace, Yanri bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng with a very respectful and flattering attitude. Ying Zheng asked him to sit down and said with a smile: "Yanri, you have done very well in various countries recently. I will remember your contributions."

Yanri replied: "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. The King and the Prime Minister have both given me rewards."

Ying Zheng was too lazy to exchange pleasantries with him and went straight to the point: "I've been lacking a few capable people recently. Luowang is full of talented people. Do you have any good recommendations?"

Yanri groaned inwardly, but he could do nothing about it. Since things had come to this, he might as well leave a favor: "Your Highness, it is indeed a coincidence. I have recently trained two new people. They are both quite good. One of them is a natural genius. She is only 28 years old and her cultivation is not much behind mine. As long as she makes great contributions, she can be directly promoted to a top-level assassin. The famous sword suitable for her is ready."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "It turns out that he is almost as good as you. He is really a genius. He has been trained well. I will record another achievement for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness. It is their blessing to have the two of them serve by your side."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Okay, let them come over so I can take a look. Oh, and send the swords over as well."

After Yanri took the order and left, Yan Jin smiled and said, "Your Highness, these two women are both amazing newcomers. Luowang has spent a lot of effort to select and train them. They have never been on a mission and are very useful. They are also clean people. It is said that both of them are extremely beautiful. One of them can sing and dance well, and is best at music and magic. The other is even more beautiful and has a natural talent. Her martial arts skills are already world-class. She is barely worthy of being by your side."

"The assassins trained by Luowang usually only have code names. The lowest level ones are even just A, B, C, and D. But these two already have their own names before they debuted. The one with the higher cultivation level is named after a famous sword. The famous sword is ready for her."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "What you two said has aroused my interest. I'd like to take a good look when the people arrive."

"Your Highness, you will not be disappointed."

In the afternoon, Yanri brought the two women into the Prince's Palace. The two women followed Yanri with their heads down, feeling uneasy. They had both been receiving the most rigorous training within Luowang and had never been on a mission, but they both knew that they were valuable assets to Luowang and would be used in the most precious places.

As we grow older, the time to truly face the cruel outside world is getting closer.

Today, Lord Yanri, who is half the manager of Luowang, came to the two of them with heavy footsteps, and his tone of voice was much more polite, and his attitude towards them was different.

There is no way to cover the sun. Now that things have come to this, let's make a good relationship.

Let them dress up, they are going to have a new master, they will be the most honorable person in the world in the future, and tell them that this is considered as escaping the trap, and they must be loyal to the new master in the future.

Ah? There is such a good thing? Can I escape from the trap?
I haven't heard of the Guards of Honor coming to select people recently.

Even though the two have been training inside Luowang, they are not completely ignorant of the outside world. How can a killer be completely ignorant of the outside world?

I really don’t know who is the noble person who can make Lord Yanri so respectful and polite to them. Lord Yanri is not usually such a polite person.

Anyway, no matter where you go, it won’t be worse than staying in Luowang.
