When the figure came closer, the soaked dark red clothes showed off the other person's figure at a glance. The curvy figure, the tall figure, the black hair soaked by the rain, and the long hair stuck to the fair and pretty face.
face
For a moment, Ying Jingyu and the four palace guards behind him were stunned. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zheng Chan?
When the red figure crossed the square and walked up the stone steps to Ying Jingyu, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Chan, meet the young master! Ahem..."
Ying Jingyu hurriedly helped Zheng Chan up: "Chanchan, what makes you come to see me so urgently? You can wait until the rain stops and come back."
After Zheng Chan stood up, she glanced nervously at the palace guard behind Jing Yu and said, "I just got news from General Wang Ding who is guarding Hangu Pass and Wuguan Pass. It concerns Liu Xiang of the East of Kanto! Young Master..."
Ying Jingyu suddenly understood, and said apologetically: "Come into the palace quickly, warm yourself up first. If you catch a cold, you must not blame the young master."
Zheng Chan's pretty face turned red and she whispered, "Yes, Master."
After the two came to the palace, Jingyu found a white brocade cloth, walked up to Zheng Chan, and wiped the rain off Zheng Chan's face with the brocade cloth with sorrow in his eyes.
Zheng Chan was shocked and took the brocade cloth with her right hand: "Master, let me do it."
Jingyu is a little embarrassed. Master just wants to wipe it for you.
After Zheng Chan wiped the water from her hair, she placed the brocade cloth on a table and walked towards Jingyu Qi.
Jingyu looked solemn and said: "Chanchan, what happened in Guandong?"
Zheng Chan Meidai frowned slightly and said: "My lord, General Wang Ding sent many scouts to Guandong to inquire about Liu Xiangjun's news. According to the report just now, Liu Bang's army seems to have accelerated the pace of invading Guanzhong..."
Jingyu was surprised: "Really? Then why did Liu Bang's army suddenly speed up their march? Did you find out any news?"
Zheng Chan said: "The specific reason has not yet been found out, but General Wang Ding has some guesses and wants the king and the young master to decide."
"What guess?"
"Sir, according to Wang Ding's estimation, Dong Lege has been secretly communicating with Liu Bang for a long time, and now the Dong family has been eradicated and communication has been interrupted. This may make Liu Bang suspect that the situation in Guanzhong has changed."
Zheng Chan took a breath and continued: "Ahem, secondly, Liu Bang may have already sent spies to infiltrate our Guanzhong or Xianyang City. The spies have been communicating with Liu Bang's army. Since the night when King Qin seized power, the Young Master has ordered the closure of Xianyang and Hangu.
Two levels.”
Ying Jingyu saw that this beautiful person had signs of cold, so he took off his robe and put it on Zheng Chan himself.
Zheng Chan was so flattered that she pushed Jing Yu's hand with one hand and said, "Master, you... Chan is fine."
Ying Jingyu ignored it, and after putting it on her, he said: "Yes, continue talking."
Zheng Chan was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and continued: "Since the two passes were sealed, Guanzhong has been forced to enter and not come out. Liu Bang has not received intelligence from the spies for a long time, so it may have made Liu Bang suspicious, thus speeding up the march.
"
Ying Jingyu smiled mysteriously, a little worried: "Do you have any estimate of when Liu Bang will arrive at the pass?"
Zheng Chan thought for a while and said: "If we attack Hangu, we can get there in about 10 days. If we attack Wuguan, it will take less than half a month..."
Ying Jingyu sighed helplessly. He originally wanted to close the two gates completely so that the six countries in Guandong would not get any news from Guanzhong. Who knows what would happen if there were so many secrets...
It seems that in such a large Guanzhong, it is impossible to block information. Liu Bang is not a fool, and the group of people under him are even more like individuals. If they can't guess that the situation in Guanzhong has changed, there will be something wrong.
A quick calculation shows that it has been 23 days since Ying Ziying reigned as King of Qin. According to history, he still had 23 days to surrender. This time is actually enough time to rectify the military affairs in Guanzhong and recruit new soldiers for training. At least Liu Bang will not be able to capture him.
question
Come to think of it, there's only less than half a month left, and it might be sooner! This is a major change from the historical timeline...
"Master, Master? Are you worried?"
As his thoughts were racing, he was brought back to reality by Zheng Chan's soft shout. Ying Jingyu raised his eyes and looked at the tender face that looked like white jade in front of him, and something seemed to move in his heart.
"Haha, Chanchan, don't you believe the young master?"
Zheng Chan was startled, and immediately felt that she had said the wrong thing, and wanted to kneel down to apologize. Unexpectedly, Jingyu saw this and grabbed Zheng Chan's arm to prevent her from kneeling down.
Jing Yu said: "From now on, you don't have to show any courtesy to the young master when you are behind the scenes. If you do this, we will become more and more distant. Is that okay?"
Zheng Chan's face turned red, she cupped her hands slightly and said, "Yes, Young Master. Please remember this! In the world, Chan only trusts Young Master. If there is something that Young Master cannot do, then Chan doesn't believe that there is another person who can do it."
.”
Jingyu shook his head helplessly: "Hahaha... Chanchan, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. You have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. If you were in the temple, you would be no less than the Jiuqing!"
"So...Young Master doesn't want to be a real loner. Not only are you someone I trust, but you are also Young Master's confidante. You can treat me as your friend, and you don't have to treat me as a high-ranking Prince of Qin."
Zheng Chan raised her beautiful eyes and blinked twice as she looked at that resolute and handsome face. Her heartbeat sped up for no reason.
Zheng Chan smiled lightly and said softly: "Yes, I have understood the young master's intention. From now on, Chan will adjust her mentality so as not to embarrass the young master, hehe."
Jingyu was also stunned. He rarely saw Zheng Chan smile. The playful smile just now was so beautiful...
I couldn't help but stepped forward and stretched out my right hand to gently scratch the bridge of Zheng Chan's nose: "That's right, I like a relaxed atmosphere. When I'm with someone I trust..."
"Yeah~"
"Chanchan, you are a little older than me. In this era, people of your age have already gotten married and had children... Why don't you find a suitable talent for you, and you can get married early, hehe
.”
Zheng Chan's expression changed after hearing this, her brows knitted together and she said: "Young Master is not married yet, I don't care what the world thinks. The ancestors of the Zheng family have been loyal to the Qin Dynasty for generations. As a daughter, I cannot join the army. I wanted to rebel against the traitor.
Qin, the country is ruined and the family is in ruins, so it's a matter of death. Who would have thought that only after being recognized by General Zhang Chang can I become associated with the young master and the Qin Dynasty."
When Ying Jingyu looked at such a delicate and enterprising beauty, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken...
Jingyu said warmly: "Chanchan, I understand your feelings towards Da Qin. But after Da Qin's future is decided, you have to think about your own life-long affairs. Don't worry, the young master's vision will not be bad!"
Zheng Chan lowered her head shyly and complained: "Oh... Master, don't mention this matter again, okay? Chan is planning not to marry for the rest of her life."
Ying Jingyu exclaimed: "Ah? You...it would be a pity if you don't get married. There are so many talented people in the world..."
Zheng Chan interrupted: "Young Master... No matter how good the world's talents are, they are still not as good as the Young Master. If Chan can meet the Young Master, it is destined that Chan will never be able to tolerate another man in her eyes."
"Chan has a low status and has never had any extravagant desires in her heart. As long as she can stay by the young master's side and see that the young master is fine, Chan will feel at ease."
‘Bang!’
The sound of a bronze basin falling to the ground made both Jingyu and Zheng Chan tremble in shock.
Ying Jingyu turned around and saw a young girl with a graceful figure in a green dress standing at the palace gate with a look of pain on her face.
Jing Yu suddenly felt his scalp numb and quickly walked away to the palace gate.
When he came to Yue Ximeng and wanted to hold her little hand: "Ximeng..."
Unexpectedly, the little girl took two steps back as if she was frightened, and then felt something was wrong. She bent over and picked up the bronze basin.
He said in a panic as if he was frightened: "Mr....Mr., I didn't know you were discussing important matters. I will go and fetch a basin of hot water for you."
After saying that, he took the basin and turned around to leave. Ying Jingyu felt guilty for a moment...
"Hey... Ximeng, Ximeng? Come back." Jingyu called out a few times, but Ximeng turned his back and seemed not to hear, and left here faster.
Ying Jingyu stretched out his right hand and didn't put it down for a long time. There seemed to be something blocked in his heart, which made him feel uncomfortable. It seems that it's hard to explain today's matter.
How could it be such a coincidence? If you don’t come earlier, you won’t come later...
Zheng Chan, who was behind him, also took off Jing Yu's outer robe, walked behind him and said softly: "Sir, I'm sorry. It's my subordinate's fault for embarrassing you."
Ying Jingyu put down his hand and turned around, looking at Zheng Chan's star-like eyes that were covered with a thin layer of mist, like a child who had done something wrong.
