Chapter 173 The couple reunited! He will definitely be the future crown prince!

In the fields.

In addition to Zhao going to the fields to plant rice, there was also Wu Lizheng.

As always.

When Zhao came to Shacun in the past, it was Wu Lizheng who took her in.

After.

When Zhao went to farm, it was Wu Lizheng who helped her.

After so many years, Wu Lizheng has grown old. As a benefactor to Zhao Feng's family, Wu Lizheng also received Zhao Feng's full return, but Wu Lizheng rejected all of them.

When he helped Zhao, he was caring for her, and he never thought about repaying her.

This is true even now.

For Wu Lizheng.

Being able to bring a general to Great Qin and serve Great Qin, he felt it was enough and completely worth it.

Now all of Sandhills County knows it.

The fourth general of the Qin Dynasty was raised by him. This general with great military achievements was raised by him.

No one can know how proud Wu Li was.

With this, he is enough.

When he goes to Jiuquan and sees his sons later, he can proudly tell them that he raised a great general of Qin.

"The weather is going well this year and there will definitely be a good harvest."

Wu Lizheng said with a smile while planting rice seedlings.

"yes."

"Good weather."

"It would be great if there were no wars in the world and everyone could live and work in peace and contentment, farm and support their families." Mrs. Zhao also had a smile on her face.

"It will happen one day."

"Young boy Feng is so powerful, he can definitely help the king do it." Wu Lizheng said with a smile.

Mention the King.

There was also a wave of confusion in Zhao's eyes, and there was a look of helplessness in her eyes.

And at this moment.

In the dark.

A pair of eyes had already fallen on Zhao Sheng.

Although there was a distance, the owner of this gaze was recognized instantly even after such a long time.

"Afang."

"I finally found you."

far away.

Outside a field, Ying Zheng watched from a distance, with an unspeakable wave in his eyes.

But at this moment.

He didn't alarm anyone.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go directly?" Dun Ruo asked respectfully.

"She doesn't hesitate to be lively, and she doesn't even want to see me right now."

"Wait until night, wait until night and we will enter the house secretly."

"Don't alarm anyone." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

This may be love.

Even though he has the power to control a country, Ying Zheng still has a sense of proportion when facing his beloved.

Because he also thought clearly why Afang refused to see him.

Why didn't he go even though he knew he was in Xianyang?

Why did he know that his father-in-law would rather stay away from Xianyang and avoid him.

The reason for everything was that she felt unsafe. The killing had deeply affected her.

If he goes up directly at this moment, it will attract the attention of others. Once people know that he has come to meet in the sand dunes in person.

Those old foxes in the court will definitely know why.

Although so many years have passed.

But there are still many people who witnessed what happened back then. Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang also know it well. Even though they are sitting firmly in the court now, they are witnesses of what happened back then, but they may have experienced it with their own eyes.

Although those who participated experienced a bloodbath that year, there were still many people alive.

Time passes.

Ying Zheng had been watching silently, and finally found it and found it again.

But his eyes didn't want to leave for a moment.

Until late afternoon.

"Let's go, go back."

Wu Li was smiling slightly at Zhao.

"Uncle Wu, let's go home for dinner." Zhao Sheng said gently.

"No, no, I'm still used to being alone." Wu Lizheng waved his hands repeatedly.

He didn't have the inclination to enjoy it.

"Uncle Wu, you are just too outspoken."

"If it weren't for you, our family would be gone long ago."

Seeing Wu Lizheng like this, Zhao was also a little helpless.

Ever since her family became capable, Mrs. Zhao has always wanted to repay the favor, but Wu Lizheng would not accept it at all.

Because in his opinion, he did not expect anything in return for his kindness to the Zhao family.

"This is just a matter of convenience, don't think too much about it."

"Let's go home." Wu Lizheng smiled and waved his hand, and walked towards the village with his body stooped.

"lady."

"The water has been pumped."

"Wash up first and then go back home."

The butler on the side said respectfully.

Mrs. Zhao nodded, washed her hands, and then went home.

but.

At the moment of turning around.

Zhao seemed to feel something and suddenly turned around and looked to the side.

But take a look.

But nothing was found.

It was as if someone was spying on her just now.

But seeing no one, Zhao calmed down and didn't think much.

Nightfall!

There are guards on duty outside the Zhao Mansion.

Although it is very peaceful in the village, it is the residence of the general after all, and he holds a high position in Da Qin. If someone from another country wants to take action against Zhao Feng's family, that would be a bad thing.

Therefore, in addition to the guards in the Zhao Mansion, there are also county soldiers on duty outside.

The county soldiers outside were naturally mobilized by the county and city to protect Zhao Feng's family.

But at this moment.

A group of people quietly entered the village and headed towards the back door of Zhao Mansion.

But we were just approaching the gate of the backyard.

"stop."

Several figures suddenly appeared outside the door of the mansion, looking at the people in front of them very cautiously.

"We are here under orders. We have something important to ask to see Mrs. Zhao."

Dunrui stepped forward and said immediately.

"What needs to be done at night?"

"And it's from the back door, sneaky?"

The blocking guard said coldly, not believing it at all.

"There is indeed a secret from the king's decree this time. Please tell the madam or the housekeeper that there is something important at Heibingtai." Dun Rui said very politely.

Looking at Dun Rui like this, and the dozens of people behind him, they are extraordinary.

The guard then nodded: "This is the General's Mansion. I guess you don't mean any harm. Just wait a moment and I'll report it to the housekeeper."

Said.

The guards immediately entered the house.

Inside the mansion.

"housekeeper."

"Dozens of people suddenly arrived outside, claiming they had something important to do with Madam."

"And they call themselves Black Ice Platform." The guard looked at the housekeeper with a puzzled look on his face and said.

When the butler heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and then he said, "You're not neglecting me, are you?"

"No."

The guard nodded, and then asked in surprise: "Butler, what is this black ice platform? Why haven't you heard of it?"

"Don't worry too much, just know that this is something you can't offend."

"Also, don't talk nonsense about what happened today, otherwise your life will be lost, and the life of your entire clan will be lost."

The butler said to the guard with a serious face.

Seeing the butler's serious look, the guard's expression also changed slightly, and then nodded repeatedly,

"Take me there quickly," the steward said again.

"Butler, please, they are at the back door." The guard said immediately.

soon.

When the housekeeper arrived at the back door.

When he saw the leader, he was suddenly shocked: "It's actually the leader who is here in person."

As a dark warrior of the Black Ice Platform, and a dark warrior assigned to the Zhao Mansion, it was natural for him to know the leader of Dunwei.

"My lord, what do you want me to do?"

Naturally, the housekeeper pretended not to know him, looked at Dun Wen with his fists in his hands and said weakly.

"The imperial court has a secret report for Mrs. Zhao. Please lead the way." Dun Ruo said immediately.

"I wonder if I have a token?" the steward asked anyway.

Without hesitation, he took out a token from his arms and handed it to the butler.

The housekeeper took it and looked at it, and immediately said: "Please come in."

"I'll go ahead and report to Madam," the steward said immediately.

Subsequently.

He immediately walked towards the mansion.

And the sudden weakness follows closely forward.

And behind Dunwei.

Ying Zheng mingled among the black ice platform dark warriors and walked slowly towards the mansion.

After entering the mansion.

Even as a king, Ying Zheng was filled with anxiety and expectations at the moment.

"Afang."

"I am coming."

"Although I know you don't want to meet me, I have to see you, and I have to give you an explanation." Ying Zheng held his hands tightly, feeling uneasy and complicated in his heart.

Fuzhong.

Small yard.

"lady."

"Someone from the court is looking for you."

The housekeeper stood outside the courtyard and said respectfully.

"Why come here at night?"

"Is there something urgent?" Zhao asked puzzledly.

But she also slowly walked out of the room, looking at her wearing clothes, it was obvious that she was not asleep yet.

This time.

Dunwei stepped forward.

"You should step back first."

Dunruo said to the housekeeper.

Subsequently.

A group of Black Ice Platform dark warriors quickly approached and surrounded the entire small courtyard.

"Go, go, go."

The housekeeper immediately called the surrounding guards and maids to leave.

See this scene.

Zhao's expression changed.

There was a vague feeling of uneasiness in my heart.

"Who are you?"

Zhao's expression changed, and she immediately thought they were from the enemy country.

"Ma'am, don't panic."

Dun weakly bowed to Zhao Sheng.

Then he waved his hand.

Many secret warriors dispersed and retreated outside the courtyard.

Dunruo himself did the same and retreated directly, while Mrs. Zhao looked shocked and puzzled.

Until this moment.

When Ying Zheng slowly walked in from outside the courtyard.

Zhao's expression changed instantly, and there was a complex emotion in her eyes.

Surprise, shock, confusion, surprise.

All kinds of emotions appeared in Zhao's eyes.

But only for a moment.

Mrs. Zhao turned her head and walked towards the room.

But the moment she turned around.

"Afang."

Ying Zheng called softly, with a look of surprise and anxiety on his face.

Hear the sound.

Zhao's heart trembled, and her feet stopped unconsciously.

"You...you have the wrong person."

Zhao replied with a trembling voice.

"Afang, do you think I will admit your mistake?"

"If even you admit your mistake."

"Then I'll die in Handan."

Ying Zheng said quietly.

"You shouldn't have come."

"Since you know I'm here, you should know that I don't want to see you." Zhao endured the pain in her heart and replied tremblingly.

"I know you don't want to see me."

"But I have to see you."

"For the promise I made, even more for you."

"Moreover, I want to apologize to you."

"sorry."

"Brother Zheng didn't protect you well back then."

Ying Zheng walked slowly behind Zhao and said warmly.

Hear the sound.

Zhao's delicate body trembled again.

"I am already married and have no connection with me before. You can go back."

"Just think I'm sorry for you." Mrs. Zhao gritted her teeth and said with a trembling voice.

It seemed that Zhao Sheng had exhausted all his strength to say this sentence.

But Ying Zheng just stepped forward and hugged Zhao tightly.

"Afang."

"Stop lying to me."

"You're not married at all."

"I have found out clearly that you took on someone else's identity."

"Zhao Wu is indeed from this village, but his wife is not, and his wife is also living very well in another village."

"Zhao Feng, Zhao Ying, they are all my sons and daughters." Ying Zheng said warmly, there was no domineering and majestic tone in his voice, only a gentleness that came from the bottom of his heart.

Hear the words.

Mrs. Zhao didn't know what to say.

Feeling the thickness behind her, Zhao stopped moving.

"I can't let Feng'er and the others be put in danger again."

"I will never go back to that place." Zhao said tremblingly.

"Do you think I can't protect you now?" Ying Zheng said warmly.

"No."

Zhao turned around, looked softly and shook her head: "If I were still alone now, I would be willing to go back with you, because I am not afraid of death."

"But with Feng'er and Ying'er."

"And my two grandchildren."

"I'm not going to put them in harm's way."

"Now that Feng'er has reached this point, it's enough."

"Once I go back, it will push Feng'er to the forefront. Feng'er and the others will be targeted by them, and it may even happen again."

"Have you forgotten that night in Xianyang City?"

"They'll do anything to get that spot."

"I really don't want to face it again." Zhao said sadly.

"The Xianyang of today is no longer what it was then, and the Daqin of today is no longer what it was then."

"If they dare to show up, I will definitely destroy their entire clan, I guarantee you."

"Don't you believe me?"

"And..." Ying Zheng smiled, looked at Zhao and said, "I'm not here to take you back to Xianyang by force, I'm just here to make sure it's you."

Xia Donger raised her head and looked at Ying Zheng in confusion: "How did you know?"

"Heibingtai's dark warriors are in this mansion, and I asked them to draw a portrait of you."

"Afang."

"No matter what you look like, even if it's just a portrait, I can recognize you." Ying Zheng said warmly, with no concealment of the friendship in his eyes.

"Brother Zheng, you can find a better one."

"I'm just an ordinary medical woman." Xia Donger shook her head.

"No, you're the only one."

"When we were in Handan, we worshiped heaven and earth."

"You are my only wife."

"She is my future queen. That position will always be reserved for you." Ying Zheng said warmly.

To this.

Xia Donger still shook her head.

"Afang."

"Don't worry."

"I won't put Feng'er and the others in danger."

"However, the future position of crown prince and heir apparent will definitely belong to Feng'er."

"No one can take it away." Ying Zheng said to Xia Dong'er with a tone of assurance.

"No..." Xia Dong'er raised her head subconsciously and was about to object.

"Don't even think about saying no."

"I want to make my son a prince, not just because he is your son and mine."

"It's because no one else is suitable except him."

"certainly."

"Don't worry too."

"I promise you that I will not put you in danger. I also know that those people will do anything to achieve their goals."

"So, I will let Feng'er reach the highest level step by step, let him reach that position naturally, and make it impossible for anyone to stop him." Ying Zheng said very firmly.

"But..." Xia Dong'er still looked worried.

If possible.

She didn't want her son to be in that dangerous position at all.

It looks like glory, but it looks like he will hold power in the future.

But in her mind was the embarrassment of when Ying Zheng first came to the throne, and she couldn't help it.

Will his son really be happy after reaching that position?

"Nothing but."

"He is my son, he has the blood of the Great Qin royal family, and he is the eldest son, and he is your son, so he is the direct descendant."

"Everything is going according to plan and no one can object."

"Besides, Afang..." Ying Zheng looked at Xia Dong'er deeply: "Feng'er has grown up. He doesn't need to let you make the decision in everything. How do you know he doesn't want to?"

"Perhaps, after he found out that he was my son, he knew that he was the eldest son of the Great Qin royal family and was interested in that position."

"I promise you."

"Even if it gets to that point in the future, I will ask for his opinion. If he doesn't want to, I won't force him."

"Okay?"

Ying Zheng looked at Xia Dong'er and said extremely gently.

He naturally knew Xia Dong'er's character. In order to protect her two children, she had been hiding in this sand village for more than twenty years. In order not to be implicated anymore, she gave up everything, and she had not even seen her father for many years.

Everything is to protect Zhao Feng and Zhao Ying.

When I narrowly escaped death in Xianyang, the war was in chaos, and the blood flowed like a river.

Even after so many years, Xia Donger will never forget it.

Because of this, Ying Zheng did not directly force Xia Dong'er to go back to Xianyang with him, because he understood.

However.

This time, what he said to Xia Dong'er was, on the one hand, Ying Zheng's guilt towards Xia Dong'er, and thus his promise to her, guaranteeing her the position of queen in the future, fulfilling the promise of the past.

Second, it was for the future of Daqin.

Fusu, Hu Hai, and other sons, none of them had the ability to inherit this huge empire.

Among the younger generation, there was only Zhao Feng.

Once.

Ying Zheng thought, if Zhao Feng was his son, how good it would be, then Daqin would have a future heir.

Now.

The wish has come true.

Zhao Feng is really his son.

Or he was born to his most beloved woman.

At the moment of knowing, Ying Zheng's heart was naturally extremely grateful for the protection of heaven.

Looking at the gentle and domineering Ying Zheng in front of him, Xia Dong'er looked at him tenderly with her beautiful eyes, wanting to refuse, but not knowing how to refuse.

…
