Actually, this situation cannot be blamed on the Plain King, as he has his own personal experiences to reflect upon. If it weren't for their initial encounter, Zhao Sheng would likely still be enduring a difficult life in the Qin State. Moreover, with Wei Kingdom's Wei Qi and Xu Jia both suffering unfortunate fates due to offending Fan Ju, it is only natural for him to feel emotional.
During last night's banquet, Zhao Sheng had asked Fan Ju for his views on the upcoming selection competition. However, Fan Ju, fueled by the wine, did not provide a direct answer because he had not yet met the Keeper of the Prosperity Record in this place. Before departing from Xianyang, King Zhao of Qin had revealed a piece of information: if one felt uncertain about the situation, they could seek out the Keeper of the Prosperity Record.
As for why one should consult the Keeper of the Prosperity Record for information, King Zhao of Qin did not make that clear. Everything was left unsaid! If this king does not intend to discuss something, there is no need for you to inquire. In any case, when faced with tricky problems, this is a shortcut worth taking.
Fan Ju, who leaped from a land of suffering to become a star of the Warring States, naturally understood this well. He expressed that he knew how to weigh matters and thus led King Zhao's order to rush towards the capital of Zhao. While passing through Shangdang, he made a special detour to inspect the front lines. The old man had no opportunity to conduct an inspection before; it would be good to have something to report upon returning after handling official business.
Considering safety concerns, the Qin Envoy Group set off discreetly. For this reason, the Qin Army stationed in the Shangdang Region was unaware that the Prime Minister had come. Upon receiving news, Wang He also acted very low-key; instead of greeting them outside the camp, he waited inside his command tent.
Crossing over the heavily guarded Taihang Mountain leads directly into Zhao's territory. Wang He considered the Chancellor's safety and thus dispatched Wang Jian along with a cavalry team of four hundred to escort the Envoy Group. If it weren't for considering Zhao Sovereign's general Lian Po, they would have taken the most direct route through Taihang Mountain. Lian Po was sharp-minded and would certainly not allow Qin people into his defense area. After discussing with Wang He, Fan Ju decided it was better to take a detour through Wei Kingdom, which resulted in the Envoy Group arriving at Handan City just as the Talent Show was nearing its end.
At this moment, Fan Ju had not received any news regarding Alliance and Diplomacy from either the Plain King or Luzi. No matter how benevolent the Plain King was, he could still discern what was more important than what. Furthermore, Fan Ju was a Wei person settled in Qin State; speaking too much would bring no benefit!
This time, Fan Ju completely relaxed; if those whom he relied on said there were no issues, then there were indeed none! Logically speaking, with Wang Sun Zi Chu also present in Qin State, Fan Ju would never dare sit alone on the podium. However, during his visit at Prosperity Inn, Zichu expressed that he did not want to draw attention.
Fan Ju thought this was out of safety considerations and complied while pretending that Qin State had forgotten about this person. Zichu understood this matter best; he always felt safest sitting next to Luzi. As for others, it was better to leave them aside for now!
His trust began when he personally tasted Luzi's Snowflake Chicken in the early morning hours. At that moment, Luzi inadvertently revealed a hint of Qin accent. The incident was certainly not intentional on Luzi's part.
The person involved was unaware of this occurrence. When someone has a certain accent from childhood, they will naturally speak it without realizing it when they are in a relaxed mental state and hear their mother tongue being spoken. As an outsider, one can immediately notice the difference in pronunciation.
In other words, when Luzi spoke with Zichu, his mental state was extremely relaxed!
Zichu managed to survive the years of warfare between the Qin and Zhao states, and without personal cunning, he would have long been sacrificed. The moment he heard the pronunciation of Luzi, he suddenly understood what was going on. It turned out that Luzi was one of his own! Moreover, he was a genuine Qin person! Zichu naturally knew the identity of Wang Sun from the Qin State and would never betray his own country. The fact that he could completely relax in front of Wang Sun proved that Luzi's heart belonged to the Qin State.
With the answer in mind, Zichu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, realizing that Luzi's promise was trustworthy. From that moment on, he fully accepted Luzi in his heart. Even though he was in Zhao, he had confidence that Luzi's promise could be fulfilled.
Since some things couldn't be made explicit, there were naturally reasons for keeping them unspoken. In that case, it was best to act as if they were unaware! Sitting in the VIP section, Zichu turned to the seat beside him, suddenly feeling a surge of impulse.
If there had been no hope before meeting Luzi, then from now on, whether it was Miss Shi or my Great Qin's state and nation, they would belong to me! With this newfound confidence, Zichu straightened his back. From now on, I will start studying seriously! Not only for my Great Qin but also to repay Luzi's kindness!
But where is my Lu Aiqing right now!? Hearing music coming from the stage, Zichu turned back to take a look. He still did not see Luzi at the entrance but noticed Li Xin and Sun Thirteen dressed in casual clothes behind him. If it weren't for the war, they would have already married and started families at their age. He believed they were now happily reunited with their families. Yet for the sake of my Qin State, they sacrificed everything.
I, Zichu! The future King of Qin! What reason do I have to give up on myself!? If I do not strive for improvement now, how can I face these loyal hearts?
Luzi did not wish to miss the grand occasion because all plans were already flawless. He truly had a mission now—to verify whether there was any foul play in this so-called Selection.
According to intelligence reports, the Yan State's participating team needed to return early for some reason. As for who would win in the final competition, they seemed no longer concerned. This was against common sense; weren't they here just to watch the excitement?
For this reason, he decided to personally lead his team to leave Handan City ahead of schedule. On the way, they planned an ambush disguised as bandits to intercept this Yan State participating team. Considering Zichu and Fan Ju's safety, he left his strongest subordinates Li Xin and Sun Thirteen by their side. Xiao Yu'er did not join them either because she needed to play a crucial role at a critical moment.
Accompanying Cai Youdao gazed into the distance where a group appeared on the main road and quietly informed Luzi that their target for interception had emerged. All participants in this operation were members of Prosperity Pavilion, and they were armed with crossbows from the Qin State. They formed an Arrow Formation consisting of twenty-one members and believed they could eliminate the guards among the participating team in the shortest time possible.
In fact, this matter didn't require Luzi's direct involvement; however, he felt something was off. If it weren't for considering Zichu's safety, he would definitely have taken Li Xin and Sun Thirteen along for this operation.
Upon hearing Cai Youdao's reminder, Luzi nodded. "Inform the brothers to get ready! Remember! Be cautious of anyone carrying weapons! I don't want to see any brother unable to return home due to someone's negligence! We're here solely to carry out a mission, not for self-destruction!"
