Yumen Pass.

A gray and hazy scene.

There was a desolate atmosphere everywhere, with a smell of gunpowder and the stench of blood.

Yingji went to the orphanage first as agreed.

He distributed all the gadgets and candies he brought from the imperial capital to the orphans.

"Brother Yingji, are you leaving?"

"Brother Yingji, when will you come?"

"Woo woo woo, Brother Yingji, Xiaohei can't bear to leave you."

Yingji was leaving.

A group of children hugged his legs, reluctant to leave.

Yingji rubbed their little heads and smiled softly, "Don't worry, Brother Yingji will send Old Wei to the imperial capital, and he will definitely come to accompany you."

"Believe in Brother Yingji, okay?"

"Yeah, okay!"

Hearing Yingji's comfort, the little guys reluctantly let go of Yingji.

Yingji sighed and walked towards a dilapidated house.

The house is located in the eastern suburbs of Yumen Pass.

It is in ruins.

The walls are made of mud, the roof is made of thatch, the interior is dark, and there is only a window on the wall, with a weak light.

At this time.

A white-haired old man, staggering, put a rotten ladder on the ground and climbed up the roof carefully.

Seeing this, Ying Ji rushed over.

"Mr. Wei, come down, I will help you fix the roof, come down quickly!"

Ying Ji looked anxious.

Wei Zheng turned his head and saw that it was Ying Ji, and a smile appeared in his dim eyes.

"Your Highness, you are here?"

"Mr. Wei, come down first!"

Ying Ji held the stairs, handed one hand to Wei Zheng, held it tightly and slowly let him go down.

Wei Zheng sighed, "Alas, I am old."

"I originally wanted to repair this hut before returning to the imperial capital and let those children live there. I didn't expect that such a simple thing could not be done."

Wei Zheng sighed.

Ying Ji looked at this old minister of three dynasties, and his eyes were red.

Wei Zheng devoted himself to the Qin Dynasty.

His realm was only the Condensation Realm. He worked hard all day, which made his body overwhelmed. Since he was exiled and attacked by a big monster two years ago, even if he was rescued, his injuries were getting worse day by day.

Now he is holding on, and the sun is setting.

He was loyal to the Qin Dynasty, but ended up like this. It was inevitable that he felt painful.

"Old Wei, just leave this little thing to them."

"Don't worry, I will arrange the food, clothing, housing and transportation of those little guys, and let them grow up healthily."

Wei Zheng looked at Ying Ji, and regret welled up in his eyes.

"Your Highness, why... didn't you succeed to the throne?"

"You have the people in your heart and nurture the world."

"What a trick of fate."

Wei Zheng sighed heavily.

Over the years, the Qin Dynasty has been in decline, and countless loyal ministers have died and been injured. If Ying Ji succeeded to the throne, would everything be different?

"Old Wei, be careful with your words!"

Ying Ji hurriedly stopped him, and then said: "My brother has now realized that he is a prostitute, Huang Hao was killed, and he reused Feng Xiang and General Luo, and even cured General Luo's injuries and let him form the Xianzhen Camp."

"As for the policy, he changed the ranking battle rules despite the opposition of the Aristocratic Academy, and now he is planning to reform the army."

"It can be said that if you don't make a sound, you will be amazing. Old Wei should have confidence in my brother."

Wei Zheng glanced at Ying Ji and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You are loyal and righteous."

"Over the years, if you hadn't been manipulating the Yumen Pass, building an orphanage, and distributing money to the people, and even leading the army in the name of His Majesty, and fighting with the soldiers, I am afraid that the soldiers in the northern border, even with Wang Jian in charge, would have caused a mutiny."

Wei Zheng sighed.

Perhaps no one in the world would have thought that this notorious royal relative who was called a dandy in the imperial capital could rival Wang Jian in reputation in Yumen Pass.

What a pity.

The soldiers only knew that there was a young general with a mask sent by His Majesty, and few people knew that he was Ying Ji.

However, Ying Ji's building of an orphanage was known to everyone in Yumen Pass.

Ying Ji said in a deep voice: "Old Wei, I am a descendant of the Ying family, a member of the Qin Dynasty, and a minister of my brother. It is my duty to help him solve his problems."

"What about the Xuanjia Guard?"

Wei Zheng frowned and said.

Ying Ji pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and didn't know how to say it.

Wei Zheng said: "You care about the world, but in your heart, you value the brotherhood with His Majesty."

"You don't want to see the people of Daqin in dire straits, and you don't want to fight with His Majesty. If you act like this, not only will you be unable to do anything, but you are also likely to be killed."

Wei Zheng's face was serious.

"Your Highness, now while the Black Armor Guards have not been discovered.""Either you prepare for the opportunity, seize power and usurp the throne, and become the leader of the revival."

"No, I can't do that!"

Ying Ji shook his head violently, "He is my brother. We have come this far and supported each other. I will never forget the scene of him being tortured for me and protecting me behind me."

Wei Zheng sighed secretly. He understood Ying Ji's brotherly love for Ying Yi.

He would not do treason until the last moment.

What's more.

Now that Ying Yi is making drastic reforms, reusing loyal ministers, and beheading treacherous officials, Ying Ji will not raise his butcher knife.

Wei Zheng said lightly: "Since Your Highness is unwilling..."

"Then Your Highness...you should remove the Xuanjia Guard as soon as possible."

"This is ironclad evidence of treason. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, no one can save you."

Ying Ji clenched his fists tightly, his face full of ferocity.

He was not sure what Ying Yi was going to do now, and whether he would really become the wise ruler he once was.

If so, he could disband the Xuanjia Guard without hesitation.

But what if not?

He couldn't bear to see the soldiers bleeding and the people displaced.

Ying Ji closed his eyes, his voice a little hoarse, "Old Wei, I... I want to keep the Xuanjia Guard!"

"If my brother is really a wise ruler, even if the Xuanjia Guard is discovered, even if I am charged with treason, I will die for what I deserve."

"If my brother is just using a trick and still acts foolishly..."

Ying Ji's eyes were bloodshot, "By then, I will definitely send His Majesty to heaven!"

Wei Zheng was in a trance for a moment, and smiled helplessly.

"Your Highness..."

"Yes, this kind of behavior is suitable for you."

"If Your Majesty is a wise king, and you are valued by Feng Luozhan, Luo Shuyuan, Wang Chi and you, why would Great Qin be afraid of the six countries?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"I am an old man who is about to die. This time I will explore the way forward for Your Highness."

Wei Zheng smiled, "Three years ago, because of the prostitute, Your Majesty was scolded by me in front of all the civil and military officials. Millions of people in the entire imperial capital knew it."

"Your Majesty hates me to the bone."

"Now that I have entered the imperial capital, I want to see if Your Majesty will treat me like this."

"Old Wei..."

Ying Ji knelt on the ground with both knees.

Wei Zheng quickly helped him up, "Your Highness, you can't do that."

"You saved my life. I am an old man. If I really die in the imperial capital, I hope Your Highness will make plans early."

"But Your Highness, if His Majesty really turns over a new leaf after entering the palace this time, then I, Wei Zheng, will only be loyal to the Qin Dynasty and would rather die than surrender."

Ying Ji looked at Wei Zheng.

He understood what the old man meant.

If Ying Yi was really a wise ruler, he would definitely tell the story of the Xuanjia Guards and everything he had done.

Because Wei Zheng was not loyal to Ying Yi, nor to him, but to the entire Qin Dynasty.

Ying Ji held Wei Zheng's hand and said in a deep voice: "Old Wei, if this is true, then death is fine!"
