"May I know where this eunuch comes from?" Since Ying Zheng knew who this man was, he asked with a calm voice. He had never placed such a respectful title on a servant like a eunuch, but at this moment, in order to prevent his identity from being revealed, he had no choice but to lower his status.

The eunuch heard that this person had recognized his identity and immediately felt ashamed and angry. However, he quickly turned serious and replied coldly, "Hmm, I don't deserve it. He is just an abandoned eunuch."

From his expression of shame and anger, Ying Zheng seemed to guess that after this person left the palace, he must have caused the people of the world to look at him with contempt and despise him. That was why when he suddenly called him "Eunuch", he felt that it was a kind of mockery and discrimination against him, which was why he gave such a cold reply.

"If Eunuch does not want to answer more, then... I don't need to ask anymore as it is rare to find one. Today, Japan wants to stay at an official's treasured land for a while. Now, it seems that I have disturbed them. That book ? "Farewell." Ying Zheng had always called himself 'I'm not here' or 'I'm not,' so he almost blurted out those words in a casual manner. However, when he was halfway through his words, he realized something was wrong, so he quickly changed his words. However, when he changed his tone, although it sounded reasonable on the surface, after careful consideration, he felt that his words were a bit stiff, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Even if ordinary people in the world heard Ying Zheng's words, they would still feel that it was strange. Of course, it couldn't be hidden from those old eunuchs who had stayed in the palace for so many years. These eunuchs had been accompanied by the king all day long, and his every word and action had long been recorded in their hearts, so much so that sometimes, the king didn't even have to say a word. But with just a small action, they could guess what the king was thinking, and thus, this obvious flaw of Ying Zheng's had struck that eunuch's heart like a thunderclap.

At first, the eunuch was surprised, but he still couldn't believe that this filthy and beaten up person in front of him was actually the King of the palace. While he was still in shock, his eyes swept across Ying Zheng's body a few times like lightning.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed with a ray of light, and his gaping mouth completely exposed his unconcealable shock. He, he really is the King of the palace, and a King of the Qin at that!

It turned out that when he carefully inspected the jade belt on Ying Zheng's waist, he saw that it was actually embroidered with a Nine-Tailed Dragon Mark, a symbol of the imperial clan's attire! Previously, in order to avoid being caught by the pursuers, Ying Zheng had changed his dragon clothes into ordinary, expensive clothing. However, in the dark of the night, it was hard to see clearly, and since there was a great panic outside, Ying Zheng had accidentally taken the wrong jade belt, or took his own Dragon Marking Jade Belt, but he didn't notice at all. After that, he kept running for his life and never noticed the details of his jade belt being replaced. Now, it was clearly seen by the eunuch. If it was an ordinary peasant family, even if they could see the Dragon Ripple Jade Belt, they might not be able to recognize the Emperor's clothing. However, this person was an old man who had been serving the King for a long time in the palace.

Even so, how could these officials know that the monarch was not from another country, but from the Qin? Apart from the Nine Tailed Dragon Marks on the jade ribbon, the Tail Pendant actually displayed the shape of an eagle. Among the Seven Kingdoms, only the Qin had a Flying Eagle as their guardian. The soldiers of the Qin usually had a Jade Eagle or had the Flying Eagle's image sewn onto their armors, because they believed that on the battlefield, this kind of eagle could protect them from invincible enemies. Previously, when Jing Ke was at Zhao's wine house, he had used the Flying Eagle Jade Lotus to see through the envoy of Qin Bing.

After the Qin Nation's plan to enter from the east was formed, they constantly attacked other countries. This Flying Eagle became the symbol of their status and gradually became a public fact. Thus, this old eunuch who had lived in the palace for a long time was naturally aware of it.

"Stop!" Thinking of this, the eunuch shouted suddenly. The surprise and epiphany from before was instantly concealed without a trace. From his surprise to his now frosty expression, it only took a moment for Ying Zheng to finish what he was about to say. He had only taken two steps before he was stopped by this eunuch.

"What is it? Is there anything else that this eunuch needs to teach you? " Ying Zheng had always been proud and aloof, and no one had ever dared to yell at him like this in front of him.

Fortunately, after Ying Zheng had said his goodbyes, he immediately turned around and left. He didn't notice the surprised look on the eunuch's face, which was why the eunuch wanted to disguise himself again so that he could make a last attempt.

"This esteemed person squeezed into this old one's resting place just now without giving me any explanation. Not only did he disturb this old one's beautiful dream, he also caused this old one's entire body to ache. Could it be that he left this easily?" Since he was determined to test the waters, the eunuch put away his flattering face and turned serious.

"Then what do you want?" Ying Zheng answered coldly.

"Either beat this old one's back and pinch his legs, or you can help this old one wash his clothes. This can also be considered as you apologizing to this old one." The eunuch said lazily.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but become furious when he heard his eunuch's words. He only felt a surge of anger in his heart, because he had always been the only one who gave orders to others, and no one else had ever given orders to him. Now, that eunuch dared to order him like this, how could he not be annoyed?

He slowly turned around and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart. He said half laughing and half angry, "I can give you a massage. Can you, as a public servant, bear it?"

Although Ying Zheng didn't want to reveal his identity in front of this eunuch, he was extremely enraged by now, so he didn't care much about it.

That eunuch, seeing how Ying Zheng was laughing and talking in such a domineering manner, had determined that this man was not someone who could be disguised as an ordinary man. Therefore, he pretended not to see him, took off the belt on his coat and said, "Since you are not willing to massage my feet on my back, please take this suit and wash it."

The moment he took off his coat, an ugly and shameful smell rushed towards Ying Zheng, making him feel nauseous. However, along with the stench, there was a "pa la" sound, as if a bamboo piece had fallen onto the ground.

Just as he was about to erupt in rage, he suddenly saw a piece of cloth, which had been rolled into a piece of cloth, falling onto the ground. That piece of cloth was made from golden silk and looked extremely precious.

When Ying Zheng saw those small words, his eyes seemed to be attracted by something as he stared at the object on the ground, while his face showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was searching for something in his memory.

"You're Zhao Gao?" Abruptly, the look on Ying Zheng's face, which had been pondering for quite a while, didn't change at all. Instead, he abruptly let out this sentence, between his eyebrows, which made him frown slightly.

Although the tone of his voice was flat, it was mostly filled with surprise and curiosity. After Ying Zheng asked this question, his eyes finally moved from that edict towards that eunuch, and started to seriously size him up.

The eunuch was suddenly surprised by Ying Zheng's question. A trace of surprise flashed across his face, but it vaguely contained a kind of surprise. However, that surprise quickly disappeared, and what remained afterwards was still complete surprise. He opened his eyes with all his might, unconsciously raised his right hand, pointed his index finger at Ying Zheng and asked, "You ?" Who exactly are you? "

From his surprised expression, Ying Zheng seemed to have completely figured out this man's identity. His face, which had been frowning slightly, became even more calm, as if he had fallen into a memory of the past. He murmured, "The Zhao Family was originally all my relatives, and was punished severely by the late King for committing some crimes. Your mother was sentenced to death and her feet were lost. She was exiled to a hermitage and made a slave for generations. "The oligarch was taken care of by your mother when he was young, and knowing that the previous king's decision was truly unworthy of your Zhao family, the oligarch felt ashamed of his decision. Thus, he gave you an imperial edict, giving you the title of an order from the carriage house. This imperial edict was personally prepared by the oligarch." As Ying Zheng said this, he pointed at the silk table on the ground and said with a regretful look on his face.

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, the eunuch instantly kneeled on the ground in shock, kowtowing and yelling, "Damn it, I didn't know that Your Majesty had been talking nonsense and offended me. Please punish me, your highness!"

However, at this very moment, he remembered the guilt that the Ying Family had towards the Zhao Family from before. He actually could no longer feel even the slightest bit of anger towards Zhao Gao, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing over and over again. Instead, a feeling of pity rose up in his heart. He slightly raised his hand towards Zhao Gao and instructed him in a low voice, "You should get up first."

"This old servant dares not." Zhao Gao fearfully replied as he pressed his forehead against the cold ground.

"Those who do not know are innocent. Rest assured, the oligarchs will not pursue the crime of offending you." However, Ying Zheng smiled and continued, "Previously, the son of an Oligarch, Hu Hai, had written a letter to an Oligarch, claiming in the imperial report that his personal eunuch, Zhao Gao, was a diligent man who was proficient in the law. So he wrote to the oligarch, and asked him to give him a promotion. After carefully looking through your life and ordering people to investigate the old records of the palace, the oligarchs realized that the person recommended by Hu Hai was actually a descendant of the Great Qin sect's Zhao family. But now that Zhao Qingzhi is so weak, he can't possibly be a descendant of our Qin Sect, can he? "

Hearing Ying Zheng address him as "Zhao Qing Family", Zhao Gao's cowardice was greatly reduced. At the same time, he understood why Ying Zheng cared so much about him, a man from a foreign land. This story included many other stories. At this moment, he also knew that if he continued kneeling like this, he would be disappointed by Ying Zheng's kindness. Therefore, he stood up and said respectfully, "Thank you, your majesty, for your kindness. I am so grateful, but I can't put it into words."

"Hahaha, where was the arrogance in Zhao Qingzhe's attitude towards the oligarchs just now?" Seeing Zhao Gao's respectful demeanor, Ying Zheng started to make fun of him.

"This old servant has eyes, but cannot see the light. Your Majesty, you must not take it seriously. Otherwise, this old servant will be in a panic for the rest of my life."

"If a man is serious, he would not be joking around with you, Zhao Qingzhe."

"Your Majesty, please do not call this old servant Zhao Qing's home. This old servant is only a eunuch and does not dare to call himself a high official. This old servant can feel more at ease when Your Majesty still calls this old servant Zhao Gao."

Seeing that Zhao Gao had made such a request, Ying Zheng thought for a while and responded, "Hmm, calling you Zhao Qing is indeed rather like saying that we are separated by a lot. Let's play according to what you have said. The oligarch can call you Zhao Gao from now on."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Gao knelt down once again, kowtowing to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng stood up after greeting Zhao Gao, then carefully looked at him again. He frowned slightly and said with some surprise, "The oligarch has already bestowed you with the Order of the Central Wagon, how could you end up in such a sorry state?"

Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Zhao Gao paused for a second, then shook his head and sighed. He turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that Zhao Gao was overjoyed after receiving Your Majesty's decree, so he immediately followed the eunuchs and guards who came to deliver the decree to Xianyang, hoping to serve Your Majesty as his saddle as soon as possible. However, when the escorting guards were halfway there, they suddenly encountered a bunch of bandits, mostly from the remnants of the six countries. Upon seeing the guards of the Great Qin Empire, they started slaughtering their enemies without any explanation. This old servant found an opening, and took advantage of the chaos to slip out of the carriage.

After hearing Zhao Gao's explanation, Ying Zheng thought of the alliance of the six empires in the world, thinking that such an attack on Zhao Gao was also within reason. However, hearing that his escort troops had been slaughtered like this, he couldn't help but burst out in rage, "Sooner or later, these thugs will be wiped out by the oligarchs."

Seeing Ying Zheng's furious look, Zhao Gao felt extremely surprised and proud when he sensed the domineering and powerful aura of a sovereign standing between his eyebrows.
