The younger brother of the First Emperor

Chapter 5 Is his mother really seven years old?
The Zhao convoy, led by the five hundred cavalry general Ying Chengjiao, was guarding in the middle and moved slowly.

"Stop! Stop! I need to poop!"

On the tall black horse, the child shouted loudly.

Lu Buwei tightened the reins and dismounted, holding the child in his arms.

Standing by the road, one rider after another passed by, and one soldier after another cast their glances at him, and the child's face looked extremely bad.

“I can’t pull out so many people!”

Lü Buwei had no choice but to take the child into the jungle.

The large army continued to march, and Meng Wu led more than ten cavalrymen to stop and wait.

"Not all killing?

"The last person who was assassinated outside Hangu Pass was the former king, and the mastermind behind it was the former king's brother, the former king Huiwen's eldest son Zhuang.

"Is this another rebellion by Ji Jun?"

Meng Wu looked towards the jungle where Lu Buwei and Ying Chengjiao had entered, and could vaguely see two human figures.

"Or, you just have a very deep relationship with your stepmother and elder brother whom you have never met, so deep that you are determined to eliminate all the thieves.

"But you are still young and you don't know how deep the water is. You don't know that the person under the water may be your father."

Shake his head slightly.

"Wu Buxin.

“See the beheading, hear the wailing, smell the stench.

"There were hundreds of corpses before his eyes, but he just turned pale and remained calm.

"My two boys were taken to the prison to watch executions when they were five years old to build up their courage. They watched every execution in person, and their performance today may not be as good as yours.

"As expected, a child prodigy... Is his mother really seven years old?"

Head up.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

"The storm is coming."

The tree trunk conceals the body and blocks others’ view.

The surrounding bush is a natural mosaic.

Ying Chengjiao leaned against a tree trunk, looked around carefully, and squatted down immediately after making sure that there was no one around.

"vomit!"

Vomited.

Vomited.

He kept vomiting until there was no water left in his stomach, but he kept retching.

Tears and snot all came out, and fell to the ground with one "vomit" sound after another.

“Sir, you don’t have to endure till now.

"Everyone will vomit when they see this kind of sight for the first time."

Lu Buwei patted him gently on the back.

"vomit!"

Ying Chengqiu vomited even more violently.

As soon as Lu Buwei said this, a broken arm with white stubble, a head with eyes still open, red mud mixed with blood and soil, flying arms and legs, and blood spurting three feet into the sky from the neck appeared before his eyes.

He swore that the blood really spurted out!
In addition to the stench of vomit, there was also a strong smell that could not be dissipated, which sounded like blood from vomiting.

"Sir, ugh! Stop it, ugh!"

Ying Chengxie was crying bitterly, his hands drooping on his knees.

[Is this the true face of the Warring States period? If there really is hell in the world, it must be like this.]
He thought and continued to retch.

In his previous life, he had seen this kind of scene in movies and TV shows.

He can watch while eating through the screen.

When the real person showed up, he vomited all the food.

Another long while.

"Why are you doing this, sir?"

Lu Buwei sighed deeply.

"Ugh! I just don't want to, ugh! let anyone, ugh! see, ugh! my miserable state!"

A hint of stubbornness appeared on Ying Chengjiao's face. He took a deep breath and his stomach finally felt better.

Lü Buwei changed from patting to caressing, stroking the child's back again and again, and whispered:

"My lord, you value your face so much, why do you disdain the throne?"

"vomit!"

"You can call Buwei Madam, because she is a minister of Qin and a guest of the Lord. How can you call her mother?"

"vomit!"

"The father's wife is the mother. In public, the young master called her mother. Doesn't that mean he admitted that she is the prince's legal wife, her son is the legitimate son, and he is just a bastard?" "Ugh!"

"Men are referred to by their clan names, not their surnames. The young man should have been called Qin, not Ying." (Note 1)
"vomit!"

"The royal family does not call themselves by their clan names but by their surnames, except for those who are not included in the family tree and are not recognized as outsiders, such as the eldest son. Even those who have no intention of becoming kings and want to establish a family name outside, such as Yan Jun. No matter how big the fiefdom is, can it be bigger than the Qin State?"

"vomit!"

"Son!"

Lu Buwei glared at him, how could someone retch right in the middle of his breath every time he spoke!

"What's wrong?"

Ying Chengjiao stopped vomiting immediately, took out a cowhide water bag, took a few sips of water, rinsed his mouth and spit it out.

He opened the cloth, soaked it with water, and wiped his face carefully with a focused expression.

Lu Buwei's eyes were filled with anger.

"When I first met the master, I said I could bring glory to the master's family. The master laughed and told me to bring glory to his family first.

"Young Master and the Master are indeed father and son. Their indifferent personalities are exactly the same!"

As soon as Ying Chengjiao stopped wiping, his abdomen suddenly shrank.

"vomit!"

"Good good!"

Lu Buwei said three good words in a row, stood up straight and swung his arms.

"Bu Wei will wait until Master finishes vomiting before speaking!"

Ying Chengjiao smiled awkwardly and wiped his mouth.

"I'm done vomiting, sir, please go on."

"I have already said what I wanted to say. Now it's your turn to speak!"

"what?"

The child looked confused.

"What did the gentleman say just now? I was vomiting so I didn't hear clearly."

Lu Buwei took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, bit by bit, and said coldly:
"Sir, stop pretending.

"The convoy of Zhao State sent to Qin State was assassinated outside Hangu Pass. This is a major diplomatic incident.

"When she said husband and little husband, she was just trying to confirm whether she could have a legitimate status! The master recognized her identity, but the royal family did not. She wanted to take advantage of the king's favor for the young master and get the Qin royal family to recognize her identity!
"If you hadn't addressed her as mother and fulfilled her wish, and called yourself Ying to show that you have no intention of the throne, how could she have given up?
"Sir, can't you really see these?"

The seven-year-old child looked confused and shook his head.

"I don't know."

Veins popped up on Lu Buwei's forehead.

"Then how about tracking down the assassin?
“The only people who could intercept the Zhao convoy so close to Hangu Pass are the nobles of Qin.

"You should know this, sir!
"For this mother and son, are you going to repeat the rebellion of Lord Ji?"

The wind blows the leaves, making a rustling sound.

Ying Chengjiao threw away the handkerchief, took out a second one, soaked it in water, and wiped his face again, carefully.

"The minister you are talking about, is it not you yourself?"

Without waiting for Lu Buwei to reply.

"It can't be the father, right?"

Lu Buwei's expression changed slightly.

"How could the Lord assassinate his own son?"

"That's good."

Ying Chengjiao clapped his hands and gave a thumbs up.

"Sir, you are worthy of being the prime minister chosen by my father. You have predicted everything that Cheng Jiao was thinking about."

Lu Buwei's face changed drastically, and he once again felt a strong murderous intent from the Second Young Master who had just said nothing.

"Sir! She invited you to ride in the carriage, clearly intending to use you as a hostage. You don't even care about your own safety!"

"Bullshit, I don't care and I'll just go in."

The children clapped their hands.

"My brother is the eldest son, whoever plots to murder him will be killed!
"Go home! I want to file a complaint!"

【Note 1: At the end of the Warring States Period, surnames and clan names were separated. 】

[The origin of the surname is unchanged. The branch of the surname is variable.]

[For example, Shang Yang was originally of the Ji surname and the Gongsun clan name, and was called Gongsun Yang. Later, he was granted 15 towns in Shangyu by Qin Xiaogong, so his surname was changed to Shang, and he was called Shang Yang.]

[Surname is a symbol of honor, only noble men have it, it can be the name of a fiefdom or an official title. ]

[The founder of the Qin State was Qin Feizi, whose surname was Ying and clan name was Qin, so the clan name of the Qin royal family was Qin.]

　New person and new book, please take care!
