Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 698: Chapter 284: Zhao Feng: Great King, Don’t Even Think About My Mother! (Part 2)

However, for most servants, it naturally felt quite uneasy.

A few days ago, news of the old lady’s return to the Zhao Mansion in Xianyang had already spread. As for this old lady, they naturally held much respect and awe for her. Naturally, there was also a sense of unease; if the old lady were difficult to get along with, it would definitely not be a good thing for them.

”Alright.”

”Let’s all disperse.”

”My mother has a gentle character and is not harsh. As you have been, continue to be so now.” Zhao Feng spoke.

”Yes, sir.” Many servants respectfully bowed and left in succession.

At this moment!

”Commander Ren Xiao has arrived.”

”The royal envoy has arrived.”

”And brought along a dozen carriages of gifts.” Zhang Ming quickly approached.

Behind him.

Ren Xiao personally arrived.

Behind him were Imperial Guards carrying various gift boxes.

”Commander Ren, what brings you?” Zhao Feng turned his head with a smile.

”On the royal edict.”

”Knowing that the mother of Lord Wu’an has returned to Xianyang, she specifically sent gifts.” Ren Xiao said with a smile.

”Thank you to the Great King.” Zhao Feng immediately expressed his gratitude.

This time was quite startling, due to the speed of King of Qin.

He had just returned, yet the King of Qin had immediately sent people with gifts.

Evidently, preparations had been underway as soon as he entered the city.

”Feng’er.”

”You should enter the palace to thank the Great King.” Xia Dong’er said with a smile.

As she spoke.

Her eyes were full of concern.

If it weren’t for the fact that the world had yet to be unified, Xia Dong’er would have been impatient to meet Ying Zheng.

Their marital hardships were many, separated for twenty-eight years.

If not for Zhao Feng, perhaps they would never have had the chance to meet again in this lifetime.

”Yan’er.”

”Take good care of Mother.”

”I’ll enter the palace briefly.” Zhao Feng said to Wang Yan.

”Go ahead, my husband.”

”We will take good care of her.” Wang Yan immediately replied.

...

Within Zhangtai Palace!

Ying Zheng was somewhat distracted while reviewing memorials.

Upon knowing Xia Dong’er had arrived in Xianyang, he couldn’t resist the urge to go directly to her.

”Should I directly summon Dong’er to the palace?”

”After all, being Zhao Feng’s mother, summoning her doesn’t seem out of place.”

”And what difference would it make even if discovered?”

”Now, only Qi remains.” Ying Zheng pondered whether to summon Xia Dong’er directly to the palace for a meeting.

Ever since their encounter at Shaqiu, Ying Zheng couldn’t restrain his longing.

Now being in the same city, they weren’t as distant as before.

Just as Ying Zheng was pondering.

”Lord Wu’an has arrived.”

Outside the hall came Zhao Gao’s voice.

”Enter.”

Ying Zheng snapped back, loudly commanded.

In response.

Zhao Feng strode into the hall.

”Minister greets the Great King.”

Zhao Feng bowed deeply.

”It’s rare for this return to be so swift, not even a month.” Ying Zheng smiled slightly.

”This time, my mother is willing to return to Xianyang with me; now I needn’t run back and forth.” Zhao Feng said with a smile.

”That’s good news indeed.” Ying Zheng replied with a smile.

At this moment, he was also suppressing the joy in his heart.

”Indeed good news.”

”Shaqiu is a thousand miles from Xianyang, and I’m tired of running.”

”Each time returning to invite my mother to the capital, she would refuse, but this time she finally agreed.” Zhao Feng’s face lit up with joy; for him, this was nothing but wonderful news.

The reason behind his mother’s change of heart naturally credited his current accomplishments.

The key was the Martial Arts.

”Haha.”

”Now you can peacefully serve your mother.” Ying Zheng laughed out loud.

In his heart.

He naturally understood why Xia Dong’er had suddenly come to Xianyang.

”The unification of the world is in sight.”

”Dong’er still remembers my promise to her.”

”And she can’t let go of me either.” Ying Zheng thought, feeling extremely pleased.

Perhaps.

Both Ying Zheng and Xia Dong’er retained a romantic attachment.

”I have yet to meet your mother.”

”When you return, have your mother visit the palace.”

”I also want to see what kind of person your mother is, to have raised such an outstanding minister.” Ying Zheng said casually with a smile.

In response,

naturally, Zhao Feng did not object and immediately nodded, ”Then I will ask my mother to come for an audience when I return.”

”Good.”

Ying Zheng nodded with great excitement.

He even clenched his hand inside the sleeve.

At this moment!

Seeing Zhao Feng still standing there.

Ying Zheng was taken aback, ”Why aren’t you going back yet?”

”Great King, I just arrived.” Zhao Feng asked somewhat confusedly.

”I want to meet your mother, you should return for now.”

”I have nothing else to discuss with you.”

”By the way.”

”Now that the snow has melted, it’s the perfect time to attack Qi.”

”Find a time in the coming days to go to Yunzhong and lead the troops to attack Qi.”

”Use the royal edict to manage how much supplies you require.”

Ying Zheng said promptly.

Then he took out half of the Tiger Talisman for the Wu’an Military Camp and a pre-written royal edict from a box beside him.

Seeing this.

Even Zhao Feng felt a bit bewildered.

Every time he entered the palace, the King of Qin would want to keep chatting with him endlessly, never letting him leave, and he always had to request permission to leave.

Today the situation is completely off.

Is the King of Qin really that interested in his mother?

Thinking of this.

Zhao Feng said somewhat uneasily, ”Great King, you have a harem full of beauties, don’t set your sights on my mother.”

”Although my father has been gone for decades, my mother has remained chaste, so please don’t act improperly.”

Upon hearing this.

Ying Zheng widened his eyes and then said irritably, ”Get lost.”

”Fine.”

”I take my leave.”

Seeing the royal edict and Tiger Talisman in his hand, and then looking at the wide-eyed Ying Zheng, Zhao Feng gave a wry smile, dared not say more, and directly turned to leave.

Watching Zhao Feng’s departing figure.

”He’s saying Laozi is dead.”

”Your Laozi is very much alive.”

”And your mother was originally Laozi’s woman, yet you’re telling me not to think of her.”

”What a rascal.”

Ying Zheng grumbled to himself annoyingly.

”But.”

”This boy is rather perceptive, I am indeed thinking of his mother.” Ying Zheng chuckled again.

Suddenly coming to his senses.

”Zhao Gao.”

Ying Zheng called loudly.

”Your servant is here.” Zhao Gao replied respectfully.

”Have the imperial kitchen prepare a meal, deliver it by noon, and don’t disturb me in between.” Ying Zheng said in a serious tone.

”Your servant obeys.” Zhao Gao respectfully bowed and slowly retreated.

Before Ying Zheng, he was always meek, fully aware that everything he had was granted by Ying Zheng; without Ying Zheng, he was nothing.

Thus, in history,

while Ying Zheng lived, he was a loyal dog; after Ying Zheng died, he revealed his fangs.

Turning his gaze, Zhao Feng returned to his mansion.

”Back so soon?”

Seeing Zhao Feng return so quickly, Xia Dong’er was somewhat surprised.

”Mother.”

”The Great King summoned you for an audience.” Zhao Feng said to Xia Dong’er upon returning.

”Summoned me?”

Xia Dong’er felt apprehensive, her heart almost leaping out.

”Yes.” Zhao Feng nodded, adding with a smile, ”The Great King just wants to see you, nothing else. Of course, if you don’t wish to go, I can enter the palace again and request the Great King to rescind the royal edict.”

”No, no.”

”After all, he is the Great King.”

”You have received so many royal favors, your mother must see him.” Xia Dong’er decisively refused Zhao Feng’s suggestion and spoke immediately.

”That’s good.”

”In the palace, mother, don’t worry, your son is now the Grand Commandant, the chief among military officials, no one dares to offend you.” Zhao Feng said with a smile.

”Uh-huh.” Xia Dong’er nodded, her eyes showing a trace of joy.

Not having seen Brother Zheng for years, Xia Dong’er was naturally quite excited.

”Husband, should I accompany mother to the palace?” Wang Yan asked from the side.

”That’s fine too.” Zhao Feng nodded.

But Xia Dong’er waved her hand, ”No need, mother can go to the palace alone.”

Seeing Xia Dong’er’s nervous demeanor, Zhao Feng felt a bit suspicious, but didn’t think much of it, and nodded.
