Chapter 228 The Son of an Old Friend

The Longxi border area of ​​the Qin State was the northwest of the entire Qin territory, and beyond that, there were the countries in the Western Regions.

And in this border area, there is a small town. The town is not big, and the total population of the town is only about a few thousand people.

During this period, commerce was not very developed, and few people from the Western Regions came to Qin.

Therefore, the DPRK and China do not attach great importance to this place.

The four of them, Li Chen, wandered all the way. It was already a month after they arrived here. Gongshu Qiu and Xiaoyao Qijian arrived here more than half a month ago. They rented a yard on the edge of the town and waited for the arrival of Li Chen and others.

.

At the same time, several people were here to find out useful information based on the clues provided by Li Chen.

As soon as the four Li Chens entered the town, they attracted the people to stop and watch. After all, not many people wearing gorgeous clothes and riding tall horses would come here all year round.

Fortunately, Li Chen and others didn't wait long before they were found by Que Xie from Seven Swords and brought back to the small courtyard.

Among the seven sword slaves and the remaining four among the six sword slaves, only the monster has a slightly more lively personality, but the many years of killing in the net have also made him full of murderous aura, making it difficult to communicate with others normally.

The three people who joined later turned out to be disciples of Xiaoyao Sect. They usually performed tasks in Xiaoyao City, dealing with caravans and people, and could quickly gain the trust of others. Therefore, they were basically the ones who went out to inquire about news.

Completed.

After entering the courtyard, Li Chen and others went directly into the main room, where Gong Shouqiu and the remaining six people from Seven Swords were already waiting here.

Li Chen was not polite and sat directly on the main seat. He looked at Que Xie and asked, "Has there been any result on the information I asked you to find out?"

Quexie bowed and said, "City Lord, the young man named Tianming has been found. We followed him and also found an old man named Lu."

"But the city lord asked us not to alert others. We are not sure that he is the person the city lord is looking for."

"As for the Xiao Li the city lord mentioned, we made inquiries and found that there is no such person."

Li Chen nodded. These were similar to what he had estimated before. Even if Xiao Li, who was transformed from the tears of the goddess, really existed in this world, he might not be able to find her now. After all, she hasn't appeared yet.

Li Chen looked up at Quexie and asked, "How many Qin troops are stationed nearby, and what is the name of the leader?"

Quexie said: "Not far from here, there is a military camp. There are about three thousand defenders. The name of the defender is General Fruit. He is a fat man. It is said that he is good at swordsmanship. He often comes to the small town to bully the market. The people here

They don’t like him very much.”

Li Chen smiled, everything was correct, but whether it was a coincidence or other reasons, Li Chen needed to explore by himself.

Li Chen nodded and said to Quexie: "In that case, let's go see the dawn tomorrow!"

Li Xue on the side asked a little strangely: "Brother, who is this person named Tianming? Do you know him?"

Li Xue grew up with Li Chen and always called Li Chen brother. Even if she became Li Chen's wife, this title did not change.

Li Chen looked at Luan Shen and asked, "Do you know this Tianming?"

When Luan Shen heard this, he was startled for a moment, then looked at each other with the Sisters of Zenpo Miehun, then shook his head and said: "We have also seen this child, but we don't know him."

Li Chen sighed with emotion and explained leisurely: "The origin of this child is a bit complicated. He comes from Xianyang."

Li Xue glanced at him sideways: "Xianyang has a population of hundreds of thousands. If it's just a child from Xianyang, there's nothing wrong with it, so don't show off."

Li Chen smiled and said, "This child's parents know me well, and we can even be considered to have some friendship."

Seeing that Li Xue was a little dissatisfied, Li Chen did not try to hide his feelings anymore, and continued: "His parents are Jing Ke and Gongsun Liji!"

"Jing Ke?!"

As soon as the name came out, there were several exclamations in the room. Even Gongshu Chou, who had been standing aside calmly and stroking his beard, opened his eyes in surprise.

Jing Ke's name can be regarded as thunderous to a few people.

"Is it the Jing Ke who assassinated King Qin?" Li Yan asked in surprise.

Li Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it's him!"

Hua Ying looked at Li Chen with some confusion and asked: "Since it is his child, why is it here? Jing Ke's status in the Mo family is not low. Even if he dies, his child will get the Mo family's

Take care of me, it’s impossible to live here!”

Hua Ying had met Jing Ke. When the Six-fingered Black Man was seriously injured and was being treated at Jinghu Medical Village, Jing Ke, as the leader of the Mo family, was always guarding the side.

Li Chen sighed and said to Hua Ying: "The issue of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin was quite complicated. Before, several people from the Mo family and the peasant family came to Xiaoyao City, and I told everyone about it when I exposed Yan Dan's cover."

"However, it was not revealed at the time that Gongsun Liji was already pregnant when the Yin Yang family abducted her from the Mo family's prison city."

"After staying in Xianyang Palace for a period of time, this child was born. It can be said that this child once lived in Ying Zheng's harem."

Hearing this, Luan Shen took a breath: "The city lord is saying that Gongsun Liji was pregnant before she entered Xianyang Palace?"

Li Chen nodded and said: "Yes, otherwise, why would Jing Ke be so angry and want to assassinate Ying Zheng regardless of the situation?"

The demon on the side smiled evilly and said, "Then does His Majesty the First Emperor know about this?"

Li Chen nodded: "Of course, even if it is presented by the Yin and Yang family, Ying Zheng will not understand it."

"Did the King of Qin at that time know that Gongsun Liji was Jing Ke's wife?" Hua Ying asked.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, then said: "I probably don't know, otherwise Jing Ke wouldn't have been able to walk in front of Ying Zheng at that time."

"However, the people of the Yin Yang Family and Luo Wang knew about it, but why they didn't remind Ying Zheng, the matter is worth talking about."

After everyone heard this, they looked at the four chaotic gods.

Luan Shen shook his head and said: "We do know the relationship between Gongsun Liji and Jing Ke, but we were ordered by Zhao Gao and Lord Zhanri not to interfere at that time, so we don't know the key to it."

Li Chen did not continue to ask further. Li Chen also knew some of Zhao Gao and Zhi Ri's thoughts. What's more, Zhi Ri was originally involved in planning this assassination plan. How could he inform Ying Zheng in advance.

Li Xue asked with some surprise: "Then why is this child here again? If Ying Zheng can't tolerate him, then he should be dead!"
