Chapter 44: Your Majesty doesn’t leave because of a child?
Yu Ji and Luo Yu returned to the elegant room of the brothel.

Luo Yu first looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping.

Then she looked at Yu Ji and asked, "For the sake of our previous relationship, how much can you reveal to me? After all, you are also aware of the plight of my family."

Luo Yu was well aware of the value of the information Yu Ji possessed.

Yu Ji must know why Your Majesty is staying in Shaqiu County.

This concerns the life and death of her family.

Luo Yu invested a lot of money in Yu Ji.

Yu Ji’s ability to become the top dancer and have her current status is inseparable from Luo Yu’s training and promotion.

Otherwise, given their status as impoverished nobles, Yu Ji's parents would not be able to afford the cost of training Yu Ji.

After all, the teachers of music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all from aristocratic families, and the tuition fees are extremely high.

It can be said that if it weren't for Luo Yu, Yu Ji would probably have married that impoverished nobleman and become the wife of a housewife, taking care of her husband and children, and spending her days dealing with the daily necessities of life.

There they lived a life of luxury like we do now.

Yugi sighed.

"Ah~"

"Don't blame me for not telling you about my parents being kidnapped. After all, they are from the Xiang clan."

"You also know how powerful they are in Kuaiji County. I don't even know if you are also from the Xiang family."

Luo Yu raised his finger and pointed at Yu Ji, feeling a little excited.

"You...why do you think I might be a traitor? Have you forgotten my aunt's identity?"

"And if I were a rebel, wouldn't it be enough for me to just give you orders?"

Yu Ji replied, "What if? I can't risk my parents' lives on this possibility. And you ordered the caravan to Shaqiu County just two days after my parents were kidnapped. Now I don't dare to trust you even more."

Luo Yu now understood why Yu Ji didn't trust him.

It turned out to be this reason.

No wonder Xiang Liang deliberately revealed the information about Shaqiu County so that he could rush to Shaqiu County!
In Yu Ji's eyes, she looked too much like them.

What on earth is there in this Sand Hill County?

The thing that can make Your Majesty and Xiang Liang care so much about it.

Luo Yu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect that I would fall into Xiang Liang's trap! He deliberately leaked the information about Shaqiu County to me, so I rushed here. So is there any hope for my uncle and aunt's matter now?"

Yu Ji replied: "Your Majesty has already agreed."

It seems that His Majesty needs Yu Ji's help with something, otherwise he would not have agreed to save her parents.

Luo Yu asked again: "So can you tell me?"

After thinking for a moment, Yu Ji decided to reveal some information to Luo Yu.

I didn’t tell them about my parents before because I was worried that Luo Yu was in cahoots with Xiang Yu and the others.

It's different now.

After all, Luo Yu was also her benefactor, and she knew that Luo Yu was a trustworthy person.

As long as she doesn't reveal it to anyone, there will be no risk.

She asked seriously, "Can you promise not to tell anyone? You can't even tell your aunt. Because once His Majesty learns that the news has been leaked, he will eliminate all outsiders who may know the news."

"Then neither you, nor I, nor your aunt will be able to escape."

Of course, Yu Ji knew how important Zhao Yi was to His Majesty.

Otherwise, he would not have hidden his identity and played the rebellion game with Zhao Yi.

Seeing Yu Ji so serious, I knew that what Yu Ji was going to say next was not ordinary.

Luo Yu nodded: "Okay, I promise you. I will never let anyone else know."

"Your Majesty is in Sandhill County because of a child."

Luo Yu quickly thought of the child who came to see Yu Ji during the day.

I didn't expect it was because of him. No wonder Li Si, the left prime minister, avoided him during the day.

His Majesty must be in that box during the day!

Your Majesty has been in Shaqiu County.

"Could it be that Zhao Yi?"

Yu Ji nodded.

"Because he has mastered many technologies that are beyond this era. For example, this new writing material - paper." As she spoke, Yu Ji handed the paper in her arms to Luo Yu to see.

Luo Yu took the paper and looked at it carefully.

As a businessman, she knew the value of the paper.

"And paper is probably just one of the technologies. Zhao Yi must have other technologies that Your Majesty has always been thinking about. That's why Your Majesty wants me to get close to Zhao Yi and collect intelligence around him."

Could this Zhao Yi be the reincarnation of an immortal?

That's why there is a technology that even His Majesty is thinking about.

Luo Yu quickly knew what he had to do.

She plans to stay in Sand Hill County and buy a shop there.

As a businessman, Luo Yu knows this very well.

If various technologies are rolled out in the future, the first place affected will be Sand Hill County.

By then, you will be standing on the tide of the times, and even a pig can take off.

And there is also a chance to contact Zhao Yi in Shaqiu County.

If I can establish a relationship with Zhao Yi, then family issues will no longer be a problem!
After all, he is the one who can stop His Majesty's eastern tour!

When Luo Yu was thinking about how to get closer to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi in Shahe Village sneezed several times.

He wondered, "Is there someone who is thinking about me again? Could it be Xiang Yu? I really need to get rid of Xiang Yu as soon as possible."

Zhao Yi plans to urge his scumbag father to intensify training tomorrow so as to destroy Xiang Yu and his men as soon as possible!

……

In Ying Zheng’s temporary palace.

Wang Jian came to report.

"Your Majesty, the revolvers and grenades have been arranged."

"Okay! Those are the capital for the future expansion of the Qin Dynasty. You must keep them well. If anything is lost, I will hold you accountable." Ying Zheng warned.

"The old minister obeyed."

Ying Zheng asked, "Wang Jian, how do you think we can wipe out the rebels in Kuaiji County at the lowest cost?"

Wang Jian thought for a moment and replied, "As far as I know, the Xiang rebels were originally nobles of the State of Chu, and their power is deeply rooted in Kuaiji County. Therefore, it is not appropriate to kill the rebels in Kuaiji County, but in the nearby Donghai County."

Ying Zheng immediately understood what Wang Jian meant.

"You mean to lure the rebels to other counties so that it will be easier to kill them."

"Your Majesty is wise. I think we can ask the governor of Kuaiji to lead troops to Donghai County on the pretext of suppressing bandits in Donghai County. Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, who are the governor's confidants, will definitely be among them."

"After all, they can't miss this opportunity to gain merit, so that they can climb higher in the Qin court and prepare for rebellion in the future. When the time comes, we can find a chance to disarm them and take them down."

"At the same time, when Xiang Liang and his men left Kuaiji County, they sent people into Kuaiji County to take back the command of the garrison and surround Xiang Mansion at the same time."

Ying Zheng nodded and praised: "Wang Jian, your plan is very good! This way we can wipe out the rebels without bloodshed. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Wang Jian said, "I would like to ask Your Majesty for a revolver for self-defense on behalf of my son. Is that okay?"

As a veteran, Wang Jian certainly understood the value of the revolver, so he asked for the revolver for his son.
In this way, when your life is in danger, you can take out the revolver for emergency treatment. After all, no knife is faster than a bullet.

"I'm sure."
