Chapter 267 Go to Qin Dynasty to help Xiao Yingzheng
Hua Yuchen waved her sleeves lightly, and gracefully drew a circular trajectory in the air. Then, a dazzling energy halo condensed and formed in front of their eyes, like the light of day, flashing a mysterious and charming light. They stepped into this halo side by side and stepped into the tunnel of time and space.
In an instant, they were transported to a towering palace of the Qin Dynasty. The scene before them was shocking. As far as the eye could see, a boy of eleven or twelve was standing there alone, lonely and helpless. His face was immature and stubborn, but there was a glimmer of unyielding light in his eyes. He was being besieged by a group of children.
The leading young man was arrogant and domineering. He pointed at the young man's nose, spoke harshly to him and shouted, "You bastard, you are not worthy of being a prince. Beat him!" His voice echoed in the corridors of the palace, carrying endless arrogance and disdain.
When all the children heard the leader's words, they rushed forward like a tide and surrounded the 11 or 12-year-old boy. He had nowhere to escape and could only shrink helplessly in a dark corner, holding his head tightly with both hands, trying to resist the punches and kicks that fell like raindrops.
Luo Ying witnessed this scene, and an indescribable sadness welled up in her heart. She recalled the bullying she experienced in the real world when she was a child. The helplessness and fear came to her mind again, making her eyes wet involuntarily.
Luo Ying was heartbroken as she watched the bullied child. She didn't want this to continue, so she summoned her spiritual power and instantly transformed into a cute little rabbit. The little rabbit jumped around, attracting the attention of all the children. They were attracted to it, temporarily forgetting about the bullied boy, and followed the rabbit away.
Luo Ying walked forward gently, squatted down, stroked his head gently and said softly: "Don't be afraid, they are all gone."
The boy raised his head, and the mottled scars on his tender face seemed to record the hardships he had experienced. When Luo Ying saw this scene, his heart was stabbed by a sharp knife, and his eyes were instantly moist, and crystal tears slid down uncontrollably.
Luo Ying reached out his hand and carefully touched the boy's wound, his tone full of care and tenderness: "I'm sorry for letting you suffer for so many years."
When the boy heard this, tears could not stop rolling down his cheeks. With a hint of disbelief, he asked tremblingly, "Are you...the fairy sister? Are you here to save me?"
Luo Ying's defense instantly broke when she heard his words, and she hugged him tightly in her arms, saying distressedly: "Yes, I am the fairy sister, and I came here specially to help you."
The young man stared at Luo Ying with eyes wide open, looking up at her in disbelief. There was a gleam of disbelief in his eyes, and his voice was trembling and doubtful. He asked in a doubtful tone, "Are you really a deity?"
Luo Ying smiled, her eyes full of tenderness and kindness. She gently stroked Ying Zheng's face, as if to soothe his inner wounds and doubts: "Yes! I know your name is Ying Zheng, formerly known as Zhao Zheng. Your mother is Zhao Ji from Zhao State. She was previously the concubine of your uncle Lu Buwei. Because he met your father when he was a hostage in Zhao State, he spent all his savings to help your father a lot in order to go ashore from the lowest merchant to politics.
So they became close friends, but your father fell in love with your mother at a banquet hosted by your uncle, and reluctantly gave your mother to your father. So your mother gave birth to you in Handan, Zhao State.
At that time, Qin and Zhao had just experienced the famous "Battle of Changping" in history. Qin and Zhao were at loggerheads. Qin general Bai Qi killed 30 people from Zhao, leaving Zhao without any men overnight. All the men were killed by Qin.
You were born in Zhao at this time, a country full of enemies. When you were two years old, your father abandoned you with the help of Lu Buwei and returned to Qin with Lu Buwei, leaving you and your son alone. In the eyes of the people of Zhao, you were a thorn in their side.
You and your mother lost your shelter, suffered humiliation, and had a hard time in Zhao State. You were displaced and lived in dire straits every day. The only survival skills you learned were to avoid being hunted down by the Zhao people and survive in that chaotic world. You had no playmates since childhood. You were a carefree age, but you were burdened with too much maturity that you shouldn't have. And you survived under such high pressure for eight years.
It was not until eight years later that your uncle Lu Buwei used a trick to rescue you and your mother and brought you back to Qin. I thought you would have a good life in Qin, but I didn't expect that when you arrived at the Qin Palace, you were bullied by other princes because your life experience was a mystery. You lived in the shadow of your childhood, and you were in a state of fear all day long..."
After hearing these words, Ying Zheng's inner defenses completely collapsed. He threw himself into Luo Ying's arms, tears pouring out like a spring, crying and saying, "You really are the Fairy Sister! I was an unwanted abandoned piece before, but now I am their chess piece. No one has ever cared about me or felt sorry for me. I am a superfluous existence in this world."
Luo Ying's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer at this moment. She recalled her own difficult childhood experiences that were similar to his, and tears instantly burst out like a river bursting its dam.
She hugged Ying Zheng tightly and comforted him in a trembling voice: "Sister understands that you have experienced too much sadness and pain in the past ten years. Sister understands you because sister has the same experience. Only people with similar experiences can empathize with you."
The two hugged each other and cried for a long time. When Ying Zheng calmed down, Luo Ying gently pulled him up from the ground and wiped the tears from his face with her fingertips. She looked at him with eyes full of understanding and love, and whispered softly: "Do you know why your childhood was so painful?"
Ying Zheng looked at her and shook his head slightly, his eyes full of confusion.
Luo Ying said to him earnestly, "Because you are the chosen one, the purpose of your life is to complete a special mission. All the chosen ones must go through hardships before accepting the special missions assigned by God. Passing many tests will make you mature mentally and understand the true meaning of life. Only then will you be allowed to carry out the special missions assigned by God."
Ying Zheng stared at Luo Ying with eyes wide open, his eyes full of confusion, and asked puzzledly: "What is my special mission?"
Luo Ying stroked his head and said, "You have been appointed by heaven. Your mission in this life is to unite the four seas, rule the nine states, merge the six kingdoms, resist the Xiongnu, and unify the world.
Your mission is to ensure that the people of the world have enough food in the morning and food in the evening, to make the world broad and the four directions submit, to create a real country and family, and to bring unprecedented prosperity and civilization to the land of China. You must bring the world a great country that stretches from the sea to Korea in the east, from Lintao to Qiang in the west, from Beixianghu in the south, and from the Yinshan Mountains to Liaodong in the north. You must also prevent catastrophes in the world, so that the people will no longer be troubled by war, and can live and work in peace and enjoy eternal peace! "
Ying Zheng looked at the light in Luo Ying's eyes, lost in thought, and blurted out, "Can I? I'm just a chess piece."
Luo Ying looked at him tenderly and said, "I once asked myself the same question. I also doubted my ability. It was because of our inherent inferiority complex that we dared not and were unwilling to be confident."
Luo Ying let him go, turned his head and looked up at the sky, saying earnestly: "I have always encouraged myself to either work hard to excel or be lazy and accept my fate. I am most afraid that my horizons will be broadened but my efforts will not be able to keep up. I am extremely noble in my bones and extremely weak in character. I am afraid that I am not a beautiful jade, so I dare not work hard. However, I am half-believing that I am a beautiful jade, so I am unwilling to be mediocre and live with the bottom of the tiles. I believe that one day I will not only move myself, but also move the heavens."
Luo Ying turned around, grabbed his arms, and said firmly: "You haven't tried hard, how do you know you can't do it? It doesn't matter what others think of us, and it doesn't matter what they say. From beginning to end, we have only one enemy, ourselves. There is no need to explain. Only by proving our ability with strength can we stop the attacks of the crowd, don't you think?"
Ying Zheng was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. He nodded firmly and said, "Yes! Fairy Sister, I believe you!"
Luo Ying stroked his head happily and said, "Don't worry, we will help you. From now on, we will call you Zheng'er, and you can call me Sister Ying! I will be responsible for teaching you music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knowledge related to people's livelihood."
She turned around, pulled Hua Yuchen in front of Ying Zheng, and introduced him, "This is Brother Chen. He will teach you horse riding, archery, and military knowledge."
From then on, Hua Yuchen and Luo Ying took turns teaching Ying Zheng various skills. He was very studious and hardworking, and time passed quickly.
Time flies, more than a year has passed in a flash, and Ying Zheng has entered the youth of 13 years old. His father died suddenly, without appointing a crown prince or leaving any edict.
Faced with this sudden change, the court was in an uproar. In order to stabilize the situation, the ministers decided to select the most outstanding one from among the many princes to inherit the throne. To this end, a grand selection competition was held in the parade grounds, with both literary and martial arts tests to demonstrate the talent and courage of each prince.
Before the game, Ying Zheng was very nervous and clenched his palms tightly. In this fateful contest, Ying Zheng's heart was as difficult to calm down as the surging river. He clenched his hands tightly, and the sweat on his palms almost soaked his palms. He knew very well that this game was not only about his personal honor and status, but also carried the future and hope of the country. Therefore, he had to go all out and show his best side.
Seeing how nervous he was, Luo Ying held his hand tightly in her warm palm, looking at him tenderly with deep tenderness in her eyes. She said to him earnestly in a steady and powerful tone: "Zheng'er, this is the most important moment in your life, and it is also the moment that will change your destiny. This competition will determine whether you will stand at the top of your life with your head held high, or continue to be stepped on by others. Do you have confidence?"
After hearing what Luo Ying said, Ying Zheng was deeply moved by her words, and his inner uneasiness instantly turned into firm belief. He was filled with confidence and strength. He stared into Luo Ying's eyes full of faith, nodded firmly and said: "Sister Ying, I will definitely win the throne for you. You said: We have only one enemy, and that is ourselves."
