Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 57 Changxin Jun is equivalent to Prime Minister Lü? Jing Ni was stunned!

The morning dew is crystal clear, shimmering under the morning light.

A layer of misty fog enveloped Daliang City, adding a touch of mystery and hazy beauty to everything around it.

But this aesthetic was quickly and completely shattered.

Countless elite Wei soldiers flooded the streets, and the entire city of Daliang was completely sealed off.

……

"Your Majesty, this is all the information we have gathered so far. The incident happened suddenly, and the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) can no longer find any more details."

In the same small courtyard, Zhen Gang was reporting the news about the sudden changes in Daliang City.

Even Ying Jing's emotions remained turbulent for a long time.

The earth shattered and the sky was shaken!

Overnight, King An of Wei died! Lord Xinling was assassinated! The Grand General committed suicide! Lord Longyang disappeared!

On the very night that Ying Jing and Li Wu played the zither and flute in harmony, a great deal of things happened in the Wei King's Palace in Daliang City.

The events of this night have already affected the situation of the entire Wei Kingdom, and even the situation of the seven kingdoms in the world.

What exactly happened was something even the Net of Heaven couldn't find out.

However, it is not difficult to guess the general direction; it is simply that the King of Wei is making some preparations for the succession of the new emperor.

But such a resolute decision?

It's incredible.

"It seems that Minister Wei is quite capable."

Ying Jing gently sniffed a plum blossom in the courtyard and teased Wei Qianqian in a low voice.

Without specific information, Ying Jing felt that the fact that things had developed to this point was probably related to Wei Yong.

As expected of the Grand Minister of Works of Wei, his casual moves are even stronger than those of Lord Changxin!

"I only beg Your Majesty to spare my father's life someday."

Wei Qianqian understood Ying Jing's teasing tone, and could only give a bitter bow before slowly speaking.

She had been sent directly to Lord Changxin's side by Wei Yong for several days now, but Ying Jing hadn't paid much attention to her and hadn't had much contact with her.

However, Wei Qianqian was also a smart person, and she could see that her ambitious father's cooperation with Changxin Jun was nothing short of a scheme to get something from a tiger.

Such people rarely end up well.

Ying Jing smiled noncommittally and gazed in the direction of the Wei King's Palace.

"That depends on how far Wei Sikong can go in the end."

The blockade of Daliang City lasted for several days, with the most elite Wei Wu soldiers stationed at the city walls every day.

Ying Jing wasn't in a hurry. With three beauties by his side—Jing Ni, Li Wu, and Wei Qianqian—he had been enjoying a leisurely and carefree life these past few days.

Especially Li Wu, after that night, her heart was completely devoted to Lord Changxin.

She gave all her tenderness without reservation.

"It seems that Your Majesty has some thoughts about Jing Ni."

Nestled in Lord Changxin's arms, Li Wu enjoyed a moment of warmth and tranquility.

This kind of life was something she never dared to dream of before, but now that she has broken free of the shackles that bound her, it has all become a reality.

"Jing Ni is very special. Seeing her is like seeing Li Wu from back then."

With one hand around Li Wu's soft, slender waist and the other gently stroking the butterfly pattern on her forehead, Ying Jing's ability to tell lies had improved even further.

In fact, there are still significant differences between Jingni and Liwu.

The butterfly pattern on Li Wu's forehead represents her deep-seated desire to break free from the net and gain freedom.

She had this idea all along, and all Ying Jing needed to do was let her see the hope of breaking free from those shackles and give her enough courage.

Jing Ni, at least for now, has never thought of changing.

Completing one task after another—that is her mission, her way of life.

She's used to it.

Therefore, it is indeed more difficult for Jingni to break free of her shackles than for Liwu.

But Ying Jing wasn't worried about that.

Lü Buwei controlled the net of intrigue, but wasn't Lord Changxin also in control of it?

"Your Majesty certainly possesses unfathomable divine power, but it is still best to be cautious. Jing Ni has never failed in any mission, let alone abandoned one..."

Li Wu drew circles in Lord Changxin's arms with great interest, and her courage had grown considerably.

"What if Jing Ni injures any vital area..."

Ying Jing's eyes widened immediately. This woman was getting bolder and bolder; she had to be severely punished!

……

That night, Ying Jing summoned Jing Ni to his room alone.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xinling is dead. As agreed, you can now take what you want from Jingni."

This time, Jingni finally didn't wear that uncomfortable black fish-scale outfit anymore.

Instead, she wore a yellow dress with an elegant and graceful air.

This completely diluted her aloof and cold temperament, making her seem like a girl from a wealthy family.

However, Lord Changxin's eyes were sharp; he noticed that the black stockings were still visible beneath the hem of her skirt!

This woman came prepared!

But Ying Jing was not in a hurry; he simply stood with his hands behind his back, gazing out the window at the sky.

"Jing Ni, if you were given two conflicting missions at the same time, how would you choose between them?"

Two... conflicting tasks?

Jingni's brain was a little slow to react.

"For example, protecting Lord Nagashino, or... killing Lord Nagashino."

Ying Jing completely exposed his back, seemingly without any precautions.

If the goal is assassination, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

"The Net will not have any conflicting missions. If one does appear, the next mission will take precedence."

Jing Ni reacted quickly and wasn't completely bewildered by Ying Jing's strange question.

Ying Jing nodded with a smile and turned around.

"The Wei Kingdom's net, including you and Hei Bai Xuan Jian, is temporarily under my control, isn't that right?"

Jing Ni nodded, without denying it.

"Then... during this period, do my orders supersede everything else?"

Jing Ni nodded again.

"What if, during this period, Prime Minister Lü and Yan Ri send other orders?"

Jing Ni was immediately a little confused.

After a long silence, she hesitated before saying, "According to regulations, the order of Prime Minister Lü shall prevail."

This woman isn't easy to fool!

However, Ying Jing was not annoyed. He continued, "Is Prime Minister Lü loyal to the Qin state?"

Jingni didn't say anything, she just nodded.

She was a little confused. She had made all the preparations, yet Changxin was asking all sorts of questions!

"Lu Xiang is one of the people in charge of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) and is loyal to the Qin state."

"I am Lord Changxin of Qin, and also one of the controllers of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven)."

Jing Ni just kept nodding.

Ying Jing smiled gently.

"Therefore, I am the same as Prime Minister Lü. Just as Prime Minister Lü's orders shall be obeyed, so too shall my orders, which shall have the same effect."

Jing Ni was completely stunned, her mind unable to process what was happening.

It seems...it seems...that what Changxin-kun said is right?

She was confused, but still nodded gently.

"Then... what if my orders conflict with those of Chancellor Lü?"

This time, Jing Ni reacted very quickly.

Lord Changxin was equivalent to Chancellor Lü, and their orders had the same effect.

If their orders conflict, then naturally...

"The last order shall prevail!"

Ying Jing nodded in satisfaction, his face beaming with a smile.

As expected of Jingni, who has already begun to think, she is indeed very clever.
