Chapter 1: It's not that Jing Ni can't afford it; the Six Sword Slaves are more cost-effec
Xianyang, Ganquan Palace, inner hall.
"Uh-huh!"
Zhao Ji wore a bright red dress, her slender figure graceful and elegant, and let out a soft hum.
"Jing'er, what you're doing is called... massage, right? Your massage skills are getting better and better. I'm starting to get addicted to it."
Sitting on the soft couch, Zhao Ji stretched her exquisite figure languidly, highlighting her perfect curves.
Ying Jing withdrew his hands from Zhao Ji's fair shoulders and stood to the side with a faint smile.
"As long as the Empress Dowager is satisfied, then Jing's meticulous study of this skill, which is despised by ordinary people, will not have been in vain."
History has proven everything.
For a woman like Zhao Ji, you don't need much else; just making her happy is enough.
As a transmigrator who had once been with countless women, Ying Jing, though now the third prince of Qin, hadn't lost his skills. He wouldn't make such a basic mistake!
"Your words are getting sweeter and sweeter, but you still haven't told me why you're so late today?"
"Could it be that you think I'm too old and unattractive, and you no longer want to waste your time on this old woman?"
Although she was questioning him, Zhao Ji's tone didn't reveal any hint of reproach.
On the contrary, she looked exactly like a resentful woman in the deep palace.
"Your Majesty is overthinking it. You are more beautiful than any flower, and your charm remains undiminished. You are even more beautiful than when I saw you eight years ago!"
Like I said before, just say nice things to her and coax her, that's all!
Zhao Ji seemed to be moved as well, and even the resentment on her face lessened considerably.
"Yes, eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. You were only this tall when you first came to my palace that year."
Zhao Ji seemed lost in memories, and as she spoke, she raised a pink and white jade hand and gestured in the air.
But soon, a strange smile appeared on Zhao Ji's face.
"Eight years have passed, and my little Jing'er has grown up so much..."
Zhao Ji's smile grew even more alluring, her peach blossom eyes curving slightly, making her resemble a white fox, captivating and enchanting.
You'd better mean this kind of growing up!
Ying Jing's hands paused slightly at that moment.
Zhao Ji's expression was truly... well, let's just say it was a bit... embarrassing!
In particular, at this moment, Zhao Ji's delicate and petite feet were slightly raised.
"Yes, press here."
A pair of flawless, beautiful feet, with delicate contours, pure white and slender, and fine, even and elegant textures, like the most precious works of art in the world.
Her glistening toes were painted with bright red cardamom, making them look like jade carvings.
This wasn't the first time Ying Jing had massaged Zhao Ji; in fact, it had been a regular occurrence since she was six years old.
His movements were skillful as he gently pressed the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of his foot.
Zhao Ji comfortably squinted her eyes, enjoying the view. Her fair skin against her bright red dress was particularly dazzling.
"I'm a little late today because I encountered some assassins on the way. Jing Ke almost didn't get to see the Empress Dowager again."
After making sure Zhao Ji was comfortable, Ying Jing got down to business for the day.
Complain!
"what?"
In an instant, Zhao Ji snapped out of her reverie.
"You've been assassinated? Quickly, let me see if you're injured?"
The exquisite bare feet were pulled from Ying Jing's hand and stepped directly onto the palace floor without any hesitation.
The bright red dress had a slight slit, revealing a small portion of her fair, slender, and jade-like legs.
Ying Jing kept his eyes straight ahead, simply shaking his head slightly, and spread his hands out, letting Zhao Ji's delicate hands explore and examine his body.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Didn't you send the embroiderer to me? With her around, these ordinary assassins are no threat to me."
The Embroiderer belongs to the Luo Wang, a massive assassin organization that covers seven kingdoms in the Qin Dynasty.
The current network of intrigue is jointly controlled by Lü Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, and Zhao Ji, the queen dowager.
The embroiderer was a maid given to Ying Jing by Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, who also served to protect his safety.
Actually, Ying Jing originally wanted Jing Ni, after all, Jing Ni in the Qin's Moon story was both beautiful and powerful, but she had a tragic fate that was heartbreaking.
As a benevolent man determined to change the tragic fate of all the beautiful women in the world, Ying Jing naturally had to extend a helping hand.
However, Zhao Ji told him that there was no top-tier assassin in the Luo Wang organization who could wield the Jing Ni Sword.
You're wearing it too early!
However, that was four years ago when Ying Jing was ten years old.
It is now the fourth year of King Zheng of Qin's reign. Ying Zheng ascended the throne at the age of thirteen and is now sixteen. Ying Jing is also fourteen years old.
Four years have passed, perhaps Jing Ni has already appeared?
"The embroiderer is merely a killer; how can I possibly trust her!"
The assassins of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) are divided into Heavenly Killers and Earthly Demons, and Demons and Monsters. The former are responsible for assassinations, while the latter are responsible for intelligence gathering.
Only those ranked first among the highest can be considered true top masters.
Zhao Ji pondered for a moment: "Back then, you mentioned wanting Jingni. Now, Jingni Sword already has an owner, and a beautiful one at that. She's quite suitable to follow you."
“But Jingni is one of Lü Buwei’s people, and she’s not in Qin right now. She’s on a mission abroad. I’ll ask Lü Buwei to bring her back when she comes back.”
Ying Jing was immediately taken aback.
Good news! Jing Ni has really appeared!
Moreover, Zhao Ji intended to send her over.
Bad news, I have another mission and am not in Qin.
If we do the math, Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, died in 243 BC, which seems to be the fourth year of King Zheng of Qin's reign!
Could Jing Ni have been sent by Lü Buwei to assassinate Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji?
Before Ying Jing could think further, Zhao Ji continued, "For the time being, let the Six Sword Slaves follow you."
Six Sword Slaves!
Ying Jing immediately forgot all about Jing Ni!
Jingni is wonderful, but there's only one of her.
The Six Sword Slaves are a group of six top-tier assassins who have trained together since joining the Luo Wang organization and have never been separated.
Each of them is a top-tier expert, and each of them wields a famous sword.
In particular, the Six Sword Slaves are a unified whole, each with their own role. When they are surrounded, even the most powerful masters from the various schools of thought would perish.
It was the news of Ying Jing's assassination that made Zhao Ji somewhat flustered; otherwise, she wouldn't have so easily sent out the Six Sword Slaves!
It's not that Jing Ni can't afford it, but the Six Sword Slaves are more cost-effective.
"However, Jing Ni can't give up so easily. With the Six Sword Slaves, we can try to make some progress..."
Ying Jing pondered to himself.
