My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 113 What is a chicken baby?If you want chicken, chicken yourself!

On December 31, the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Qin, the sound of a clapper sounded.

Amid Ying Chengxuan's slander, the time officially came to January [-]st, the ninth year of King Qin's reign.

But Lao Ai is obviously not as leisurely and elegant as Ying Chengyu who complains about the calendar.

Yongcheng, the main hall of Dazheng Palace.

Lao Ai was wearing loose clothes and asked solemnly:

"What do you think Lord Chang'an wants to do when he comes to Yongcheng?"

Shi Cang, the magistrate of Yongcheng County, responded with a smile: "It's a lie to come to offer sacrifices, but the ones waiting for me are real."

"It's just that Lord Chang'an is really arrogant."

"He dared to come to Yongcheng and run wild with only a hundred soldiers and dozens of clan members. I don't know who gave him the courage."

"Do you really think that if you destroy South Korea, you will become a famous general in the world?"

The retainer Tang Yi and others also laughed in agreement:

"He's just a kid, why should I worry so much?"

"I have inquired about the war to destroy Korea. The so-called war to destroy the country is just a trick. If I were given [-] troops, I would still be able to destroy Korea!"

"So what if he is really a famous general in the world? Where did he get the soldiers in his hands?"

However, the laughter in the room did not make Lao Ai feel relieved.

Lao Ai just said in a calm voice: "I have fought with Lord Chang'an several times."

"No one wins."

Tang Yi and others shut their mouths instantly.

Lao Ai has already admitted that she failed to get any advantage from Ying Chengyuan. If she is still laughing at Ying Chengyuan, isn't she also laughing at Lai Ai?

Shi Cang frowned and asked, "Can Lai Huancheng explain it in detail?"

Whether it is fabricating rumors or using Zhao Ji to threaten Ying Zheng to send troops as soon as possible, it is not a topic suitable for large-scale dissemination.

Lao Ai didn't want to mention those things, she just frowned and said, "Mr. Chang'an, this person is very strange!"

"When this person made a move, I didn't even know what his intention was when he made the move."

"Only when the killing plan was formed, I was shocked to realize that he was coming for me!"

If the original world line develops according to the original world line, Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Huayang still choose to stand still even though they know Lao Ai's intentions. Lao Ai will lead the army to put down the Ying Chengyu's rebellion, and for this, he will be awarded the title of Changxinhou.

As a result, he obtained three fiefs, including Yongcheng, and the area of ​​each of these three fiefs was more than ten times that of Chang'an Township!
At that time, Lao Ai was the most noble marquis in the Qin Dynasty besides the King of Qin, and his fiefdom area was larger than that of all the other monarchs and princes of the Qin Dynasty put together.

Even without the help of Zhao Ji's power, Lao Ai could still attract a large number of customers with his reputation and fiefdom.

Can he not float?
However, Ying Chengyu's changes made Lao Ai's Marquis Changxin and all the fiefdoms come to naught.

Now Lao Ai is just a Nangong eunuch who has no title, no fiefdom, and has failed many times. He still needs to fully rely on Zhao Ji to have some say.

Lao Ai cautiously regarded Ying Chengyu as his opponent, but Lao Ai sadly discovered that he didn't even know where he lost!

Lao Ai frowned: "But I often feel that this person has never made a move against me."

"It's just that while this boy was completing his own plan, he foiled my own plan!"

"It's just...weird!"

"His mind seems to be different from normal people!"

Shi Cang and others looked at each other.

You don’t tell me why I lost.

You can’t tell what Ying Chengyu is capable of.

Then how do you want us to help the staff?
Shi Cang could only comfort him in a gentle voice: "Mencius said: The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people."

"Now that Lord Chang'an has risked his life and entered Yongcheng, the geographical advantage is now in our hands."

"Everyone who holds important positions in Yongcheng is loyal to the Queen Mother. This is the basis of harmony."

"Then Lord Chang'an has extraordinary abilities. How can he and those hundreds of people do anything?"

"The favorable location and people are in the hands of the Queen Mother, so why should I be worried!"

Lao Ai nodded slowly: "What County Magistrate Shi said makes sense."

"However, in order to deal with Lord Chang'an, we must take all possible measures."

"I hope all the gentlemen will be vigilant and not look down upon Lord Chang'an just because he is young."

Shi Cang and others all raised their hands: "Wei!"

Lao Ai looked at Sun Xi again: "Has Yong Shou's bed been tidied up?"

Sun Xi responded in a deep voice: "All the eunuchs and maids in this dormitory have been replaced by our people, and all the necessary arrangements have been made."

Lao Ai asked: "Can your soldiers and horses fight with the Chang'an Lord's soldiers?"

Sun Xi smiled: "Thanks to the support of the eunuch, I was able to command the guards of the Yong Palace gates, with a total of 3000 soldiers!"

"What about Chang'an Jun?"

"The number of soldiers he leads is only a hundred."

"If Lord Chang'an really commits a crime, I will lead my subordinates to kill him in Yong Palace!"

One of the important reasons why Lao Ai was able to win the support of many ministers was that Lao Ai was forthright and loyal.

After confirming that Sun Xi could no longer gain the trust of his relatives from the Korean family, Lao Ai did not give up on him. Instead, he used the identity of Zhao Ji to make Sun Xi serve as the chief minister of Yong Palace and take charge of the guards of the Yong Palace gates.

This also raised Sun Xi's loyalty to Zhao Ji to a higher level again.

Lao Ai smiled casually: "Sun Zuoge said this, I feel at ease!"

"Everyone!" Lao Ai held up the wine cup and shouted loudly: "Drink to win!"

Shi Cang and others also raised the wine baron:
"Drink wins!"

With things on my mind, I can't feel happy even if I drink wine.

Half an hour later, the banquet was over.

Lao Ai drank a bowl of sobering soup and returned to the main hall of the back hall with gentle steps.

"Ah~wow~~"

The baby's cry made Lao Ai quicken her pace and sneak into the side hall.

"Your posture is wrong!"

The sudden sound startled the palace maid, and she quickly turned around and saw Lao Ai approaching in a hurry.

The palace maid held the baby in her arms and bent over in panic: "Greetings to Lao..." The palace maid's voice disturbed another baby, and for a moment the two babies started crying together as if they were competing.

"Wow~wow~wow~"

Lao Ai glared at the palace maid with murderous intent: "Shut up!"

The palace maid no longer dared to speak or even move. She could only stand in a semi-bent position and tremble.

Lao Ai carefully took the baby from the palace maid's arms.

Let the baby's head rest on your strong left bicep, your left arm wraps around the baby's back, your left hand covers the baby's calf, and then you drag the other baby's back with one arm to take him into your arms. middle.

With the help of his hands, he adjusted their postures, and both babies were held in Lao Ai's arms.

Lao Ai sang in a low voice with the gentlest voice she could make in her life:

"Wei Tian's destiny is endless in Mu. It is not obvious that King Wen's virtue is pure..."

Feeling the warm and safe arms, listening to the familiar "Song of Zhou Weitian's Destiny", the baby in her arms no longer cried, but giggled and stretched out her hand to scratch Lao Ai's face, and even pushed her fingers hard into Lao Ai's face. nostrils.

Lao Ai was not annoyed and continued to sing while rubbing her face against the two children.

"Song of Zhou: Wei Tian's Destiny" was sung three times, and the two babies' physical strength was exhausted, and they finally returned to sleep.

Looking at the sleeping child, Lao Ai couldn't help but smile:

"Jiang'er, Shan'er, Naiweng are not the best in the world."

"But Nai Weng will do everything he can to make you the happiest children in the world."

"You deserve the best! Everything!"

Lao Ai is not a chicken child, Lao Ai just wants his children to enjoy all the beauty in this world.

For this reason, Lao Ai can kill herself!
Zhao Ji's voice came from the main hall: "Ai Lang? Are you back?"

Lao Ai didn't reply, but carefully rubbed her forehead on the chubby faces of the two babies, causing the sleeping children to kick in dissatisfaction.

Lao Ai then reluctantly put down her child, turned around and walked into the main hall, saying with a warm smile: "I thought I would walk more slowly when I came back, so as not to disturb your rest."

"I never thought it would disturb your sweet dream."

Zhao Ji opened her arms with sleepy eyes, with a child-like smile on her face: "Without Ai Lang by your side, how can you have a good dream?"

Hugging Lao Ai, Zhao Ji took a greedy breath, and then frowned slightly: "Lao Ai just drank?"

Lao Ai nodded lightly: "Mr. Chang'an will arrive tomorrow."

"I need to discuss plans and encourage people with my subordinates first, and I always have to drink some wine."

Zhao Ji opened her eyes with a dissatisfied look on her face: "Is it Chenglong again?"

"Why does this person always make Ai Lang dissatisfied?"

"Because of this person, Ai Lang can't even sleep well!"

"Ai Lang, isn't my Queen Mother's Seal in your hand?"

"You order Zheng'er to kill him right now!"

As we all know, drinking, stress, irregular work and rest, etc. can seriously lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness.

It is difficult for Lao Ai to satisfy Zhao Ji during this period of time.

Zhao Ji was reluctant to lose her temper with Lao Ai, and she was full of anger and just wanted to pour it all on Ying Chengyu.

Lao Ai patted the back of Zhao Ji's hand and smiled warmly: "Don't worry."

"It's just a trivial matter, there's no need for that big seal."

"Mr. Chang'an will arrive tomorrow, so you have to be nice to him."

Zhao Ji looked unhappy: "Do I still want to be nice to him?"

"Why?"

"I am the Queen Mother!"

Lao Ai was a little helpless.

It's really hard to appease Zhao Ji when she gets angry!
……

Noon the next day.

Lao Ai stood outside the east gate of Yong City, yawning tiredly.

Shi Cang rode his horse close to Lao Ai and asked with concern: "Didn't Lao Huancheng have a good rest last night?"

Lao Ai forced out a smile: "It was so windy and snowy last night that I couldn't sleep for a while."

Shi Cang was slightly startled.

Was it windy last night?
Why don’t I know this?
While he was stunned, Shi Cang heard Lao Ai shout in a low voice: "Here he comes!"

Shi Cang looked up and saw a motorcade approaching.

At the front of the convoy, there was a young general in full armor, who looked like he was about to go to the battlefield.

Looking at the young general from a distance, Lao Ai's eyes darkened: "Ying Chenglong!"

After taking a deep look at Ying Chengyu, Lao Ai shouted loudly: "Nangong belongs to you, welcome to your triumphal journey!"

Shi Cang also shouted proudly: "Everyone in Yongcheng welcomes the triumphal journey!"

Following the calls of Lao Ai and Shi Cang, all the subjects behind them shouted:

"I welcome you on your triumphal journey!"

Ying Chengyu rode his horse and stood ten feet in front of Lao Ai and Shi Cang. He raised his hands towards Yongcheng and shouted:

"The commander-in-chief Cheng Yu has met you all!"

"This time our army has won a great victory, so I went back to the ancestral temple to give food to express my gratitude to our ancestors. I, the Qin Dynasty, will be victorious!"

The soldiers who showed victory and the officials who greeted them all shouted:

"Great Qin! Wan Sheng!"

The shouts drifted into Yongcheng along the cold wind, and the people of Lao Qin walked out of their houses curiously.

"Is this a cry for victory from the mountains? Has our Great Qin won another battle?"

"Isn't it common for our Qin Dynasty to win battles, but there are not many that can return to Yongcheng to report victory. I guess the soldiers who destroyed Han are here."

"Great! Great Qin Wansheng!"

The sound of mountain calls spread from outside the city to the inside, and from inside the city to outside the city, announcing to all ambitious people the cohesion and centripetal force of this Qin capital that has existed for hundreds of years!
Riding on the sound of the mountain calling, Ying Chengyu rode his horse forward and looked at Lao Ai with a smile:
"Lao Huancheng, long time no see."
