In the dark candlelight, Ying Zheng flipped through the scroll. This was left by Zhao Ji, the list of personnel and basic situations of the net.

Regardless of whether what Ying Zheng said to Zhao Ji is true or false, at least Zhao Ji believes that this woman, who is not smart and extremely impulsive, will be defeated under the emotional offensive.

After getting what he wanted, Ying Zheng was naturally satisfied, but there was a more difficult person waiting for him.

Lu Buwei is not Zhao Ji, nor Meng Ao. Zhao Ji is easily influenced by emotions, while Meng Ao attaches too much importance to achievements, but what does Lu Buwei care about? Is it just power? Ying Zheng doesn't know about this.

However, he was no longer the powerless King of Qin at this time. He was loyal to the Meng family and Huan Qi. With the tiger talisman in his hand, he had already established a solid foundation for himself. Although he would not truly control the Qin State, at least he would never have any chance to go to Xinzheng in the future.

Now he has the capital to negotiate and play with Lu Buwei and others.

When Duanmurong appeared in front of him, he felt better because Duanmurong looked so funny at this time. Her delicate face was covered with dust, and the traces of sweat turned her into a little cat.

But the eyes that should have been cold and filled with a faint sorrow are now full of energy.

Ying Zheng even suspected that Duanmurong in front of him was the cold medical woman in his memory? This doubt soon dissipated because Duanmurong was only eight or nine years old at this time, and although her appearance at this time was somewhat inconsistent with her future personality, it was reasonable.

"It seems that you want to congratulate you, and there is a new discovery." Ying Zheng smiled at the rolls of bamboo slips held in Duanmu Rong's arms.

"I'm lucky today, and I found three more volumes." Duanmurong seemed very excited. She didn't dare to speak loudly because her front teeth fell off a few days ago, but she didn't care about those shyness at this time.

"When I see you are so happy, I want to say something that makes you unhappy. You said, is this okay?" Ying Zheng took the bamboo slips from Duanmu Rong's arms and spread them on the desk.

"Are the king lied to me? I'm not fooled." Duanmurong knelt obediently beside Ying Zheng and began to grind ink.

If she couldn't recognize the big seal script, if she wanted to know the contents of the bamboo slips, she could only ask Ying Zheng to convert the words recorded in the bamboo slips into the characters of Chu. This is why her obedience is precisely because of this.

"What I said is true." Ying Zheng said.

"Really?" Duanmurong tilted her head and said unbelievable.

"I'm leaving Xianyang for a while, during this period, you can't come here."

Duanmurong was stunned.

"Uh, then, when will you come back? How many days?"

"It's hard to say, but it's definitely not a few days, at least a few months."

Ying Zheng took a blank bamboo slip from Duanmurong and began to write on it.

"Is the king going to Hangu Pass?" Duanmurong's reaction surprised Ying Zheng because she was calm too quickly.

"Did your master tell you these?" Ying Zheng said calmly.

"Yes, but the master also heard some news from Empress Dowager Huayang." Duanmu Rong replied.

"But what else have you heard?"

"What else is this?" Duanmu Rong lowered her head, pretending to be contemplative, and was filled with entanglement in Ying Zheng's eyes that could not be watched.

"Okay, I won't ask you this question." Duanmurong's little thoughts could not be hidden from Ying Zheng's eyes. As for the problem just now, it was just casual words. He wouldn't have let Duanmurong be a little undercover agent.

"There is also the Prince Dan of Yan State." Duanmurong raised her head and said.

"Yan Dan?" Could it be that Yan Dan was thinking about recruiting Nian Duan at this time? This is possible. After all, doctors are of great use and harmless. Any force from either side will hope that doctors can use it for their own purposes.

"I heard from the king that you and Yan Dan are friends." Duanmu Rong continued.

"It's barely considered a friend, at least he was a friend." Ying Zheng replied. At this time, he was not interested in what Yan Dan did. Instead, he felt very interesting about Duanmu Rong's expression that obviously went against her heart at this time.

"This friend of the king wants to recruit masters, saying that the world has suffered from Qin for a long time, and the people of the world should unite to fight against Qin."

"I said a lot of other words. Although I couldn't understand many things, isn't Qin the king? Yan Dan wants to deal with Qin the king, right?" Duanmu Rong continued.

Yan Dan, you are really dishonest. If you want to fight against Qin, what you should do is try to control Yan and then talk about other things. The basic foundation is unstable, and you always want to recruit all schools of thought for your own use. That is, the pattern of a world of people. It is far worse than Han Fei who is angry with the scholars. Even Changping Jun is far better than you.

"It's almost the same, but I guess your master must have refused." Ying Zheng asked.

"How did the king know?" Duanmurong was a little confused and admired.

"Haha, is this difficult? If your master agrees, would you dare tell me?"

Duanmurong, who was exposed, blushed and grunted for a long time, but could not say a word.

"It's too late today, you should go back. As for these three volumes of book scripts, I will send them to you after copying them for you. You won't use them here tomorrow." Ying Zheng glanced at the sky outside the hall, which was already hard to see light and said to Duanmu Rong.

······

Duanmurong, who returned to her residence, saw her master Nianduan's almost gloomy face at first sight.

"You went to Xianyang Palace again? Didn't you tell you before, stay away from there?" Nian Duan said coldly.

"I won't go tomorrow." Duanmu Rong was a little confident when facing the master's questioning, but today she sneaked out while her master was diagnosing Empress Dowager Huayang.

"Just tomorrow?" Nian Duan's voice became even colder. She never thought that Duanmurong, who had always been obedient, would not listen to her instructions, and she repeatedly told her to stay away from Xianyang Palace. She did not expect that she would run away secretly again if she was not careful.

Thinking of Yan Dan’s previous visit, Nian Duan felt that Xianyang could not stay anymore, not only because of Duanmurong, but also because of herself. Once she was caught in, it would not be so easy to get out. The risks in the temple were even greater than those in the world.

"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will not go." Duanmu Rong said honestly, and added a sentence in her heart: I guess I can't go within a few months.

"Rong'er, I have told you many times before that King Qin is far away from that King Qin. He will not be your friend. Why do you always think that he is your friend? Look at Yan Dan before, how good the relationship with King Qin is on the surface, but he is plotting against the other party behind his back. People like them are just the business they run. No matter how beautiful they say on the surface, they will choose to give up without any burden when they feel it is necessary." Nian Duan looked at Duanmu Rong, knowing that his apprentice did not listen to his words, so he could only explain patiently.

"That's just Yan Dan, not the king." Duanmu Rong retorted. There are some things she could listen to the master, but when it comes to her only friend, she felt that she had to and had the responsibility to protect her friend.

"They are the same kind of people." Nian Duan felt that her patience was tortured crazy. She had said these words too many times in recent days, but she always disappointed herself.

"I know what you mean by Master, and I also know that Master, you are afraid that I will be deceived. But Master, do you think I have something worth lying to the king?" Duanmurong looked directly at Nian Duan and said cowardly.

Nian Duan was stunned. What is Duanmurong worth being deceived? It seems that there is really no medical skills? She is only a woman, and now Duanmurong still lacks front teeth, so how can she be like a woman?

But if it weren't for the intention, why did Ying Zheng be particularly tolerant of Duanmurong? Is it really like Duanmurong, but he really regards Duanmurong as a friend?

But, how is this possible?

Unfortunately, Nian Duan didn’t know a word: Everything is possible. Ying Zheng did regard Duanmurong as his friend.

It is actually difficult to distinguish between pure good people and pure bad people, because different positions determine the different evaluations of people.

But Duanmurong is an exception, and in this world, there are not many such exceptions, and Gai Nie is also one, they are truly pure people.

If Ying Zheng needs friends, a person like Duanmu Rong is undoubtedly the best choice, because it is simple and harmless. Ying Zheng needs friends, after all, he will always dominate his thinking, not that person.
