Chapter 103 Checks and Concerns

Ying Shisan took the token and left first. Cheng Jiao asked someone to bring out the wine, waved his hand and asked someone to leave, then poured wine for Ying Zifei.

"Some of the uncles are very unwilling to accept this and keep making small moves."

Ying Zifei's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Is there still someone inside who is too unwilling to accept the appearance of the paper?"

Cheng Jiao pushed the wine glass to Ying Zifei and nodded, saying, "Although Brother Wang gave up his political interests, some news about the things in your secret bases has been leaked."

"Leaked?" Ying Zifei frowned and asked in confusion: "Did he leak it intentionally to use bait to fish?"

"No," Cheng Jiao shook his head, drank the wine in the glass and said, "There were too many people targeting me, so I made a mistake."

"Although the problem was solved afterwards, some things were still known by some people."

Picking up the wine glass, drinking it and putting it down, Ying Zifei's eyes turned cold and he said, "There's something wrong inside, right?"

"Yes," Cheng Jiao nodded while pouring wine, and said, "The Prime Minister and my brother suspect that someone wants to disrupt the Qin State in this way. This person knows the Qin State very well."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zifei couldn't help but doubt Changping Jun, but he was not sure.

He fell silent at this time. The matter of Changping Jun had a ripple effect on the entire body. Now in Qin State, the people of Chu were too close to the center of Qin State. Any slight mistake would lead to a big storm.

"You seem to have someone you suspect?" Cheng Jiao asked when he saw Ying Zifei's reaction.

"It's just some association." Ying Zifei looked at Cheng Jiao with a serious look and said solemnly: "Among the forces secretly promoting the coalition, there are people from the Nong family involved."

"After several investigations, the people of Black Ice Terrace found that some intelligence was centered on the Qin State's Xianyang City."

"Farmer?" Cheng Jiao frowned, then thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he subconsciously said: "Chu State, Chang..."

Before he could finish his words, Ying Zifei reached out and interrupted him, saying, "I can't confirm it. You should know what such suspicion means."

Cheng Jiao, with a solemn expression, nodded heavily, and then combined the information he knew, he kept analyzing it in his mind. Slowly, his eyes became more solemn.

"Could this be a plot to sow discord?" He subconsciously wanted to argue for someone, because some of the conclusions he had drawn from his analysis in his mind made him feel as if he could hardly breathe.

His words made Ying Zifei silent. If he was just suspicious just now, then Cheng Jiao's reaction now told him that Changping Jun might have some ideas now.

Is it because of the changes in Qin?
The two looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything more. This kind of thing must have definite evidence, otherwise the great turmoil would not only make the two of them unstable, but also King Ying Zheng of Qin and Lu Buwei.

"Perhaps, the upcoming war of alliances will be a good opportunity to discover something."

Cheng Jiao felt his voice tremble. Ying Zifei shook his head and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Don't move. Inform the king of this matter in secret and have the Shadow Secret Guard investigate."

"Cheng Jiao, whether it's Zong Yingwei or Heibingtai, don't take the initiative to investigate this situation. The two people in the palace are not something we can easily deal with."

Cheng Jiao swallowed subconsciously. Although his brother, the king Ying Zheng, did not have a queen, the political marriage between him and the king's wife was a fact. There were some things that they really could not interfere with.

"Ying Zifei, I will report this matter to my brother, but if it is really that person, we must have a response plan, right?"

Ying Zifei rolled his eyes at Cheng Jiao and said unhappily, "What the hell is this?"

"Although the king has reached an agreement with Lu Buwei, the Chu faction is still a preparatory arrangement for the king to balance the others at a critical moment."

"Before that person reveals his attitude directly, even if the king is sure that he has made some small moves in secret, he can only endure it."

"This kind of thing involves too many people. If your wife Wang gives birth to a child in the future, the consequences will be even greater." Cheng Jiao took a breath of cold air, and then quickly reacted, wiping the cold sweat from his head. He said: "If it is really him, then let him do whatever he wants in secret?"

Hearing this, Ying Zifei sneered and said disdainfully: "Cheng Jiao, remember one thing, when the general situation is in my hands, any small actions are useless."

"Believe it or not, if that person really has some kind of intention, even if the king finds out, he will pretend not to know."

"For the king, the best way to solve the problem is to take justice into your hands."

"Also," Ying Zifei sneered and said to Cheng Jiao, "Although you and I will not intervene actively, is there only one way to solve the problem?"

"As long as there is a chance, you and I will pretend to be confused to deal with some people. Don't tell me you don't have the means to do so."

"You are the Lord of Chang'an, and I am the Marquis of Zhen'an. As long as we pretend to be confused, who would dare to stare at us and cause trouble?"

Cheng Jiao reacted quickly and gave Ying Zifei a thumbs up. As expected, this guy was able to manage the Black Ice Stage to such an extent, and he really grasped the key point of the problem.

Feeling more at ease, Cheng Jiao sighed: "I really hope it's not him."

"I hope so." Ying Zifei shook his head slightly and sighed: "Cheng Jiao, the Great Zhou was divided into fiefdoms. After many years of chaos and war, the thoughts of family and country have been deeply rooted in people's hearts."

"People like you and me are destined to be butchers. If we die halfway, we may be crushed to ashes in the future."

Cheng Jiao was speechless. He drank the wine in the cup and said, "Ying Zifei, if I had known that I would not have such thoughts, I would have entered the military school to learn the art of war."

Ying Zifei found it a little funny and said jokingly: "When you, Cheng Jiao, stared at that position, you knew what would happen if you failed. Now your situation is the best."

Cheng Jiao shook his head and laughed, saying: "Forget it, just like you said, people like you and me always have to shoulder some things."

The two chatted and drank until the last glass. After finishing it, Cheng Jiao left because he still had a lot of things to deal with.

"Sir, are we going to hurry?" Ah Fu asked. Ying Zifei thought for a moment and shook his head, "Let's not go back to Xianyang first. Let's go to the border."

He originally wanted to go back to Xianyang City, but after the conversation with Cheng Jiao just now, Ying Zifei no longer wanted to go back to Xianyang City at this time.

Just in time, Pang Nuan secretly sent him some information, and he wanted to see if he could use this incident to cause some disturbance, no, it should be said that he wanted to test whether that guy Changping Jun was involved.
Ah Fu didn't ask any more questions and went to feed the horses with water as they had to set off again soon.

……

In Xianyang City, because of the Great Qin Academy and the Medical Academy, more people from various countries came to Xianyang.

At the residence of Lord Changping, after the king's order was officially announced today, his expression was extremely complicated.

The more King Ying Zheng of Qin acted like a heroic ruler, the more tormented Changping Jun felt.

He hoped that the king of Chu would also show this kind of wisdom.

He also wished that he was not a prince of Chu, so that he could be loyal to King Ying Zheng of Qin wholeheartedly and create a prosperous future with wise rulers and capable ministers.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, he exhaled slightly, and then said to Tian Guang who was also lost in thought: "Thank you for your hard work. Although the loss is not small this time, we have found something useful."

Tian Guang came back to his senses, bowed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not say that it is hard work, everything is to prevent Qin's hegemony from becoming more and more powerful and attacking other countries."

Changping Jun nodded and said, "Yes, we can't let Qin continue to run smoothly like this."
