The Great Dao Golden List, Me! The Supreme Martial God Exposed – Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Ying Zheng: I Have Another Son?

“Yes, Your Excellency!”

Covering Sun bowed and withdrew.

Shu He County was not large, and in this ancient time, there weren’t many transient people. It wasn’t too difficult to find out which people had just left.

While the Net and the Shadow Guard were searching for the Martial God, Ying Zheng in the golden carriage suddenly spoke:

“This Shu He County is not bad!”

The streets are clean, and the houses are in good order.

It’s not inferior to Xianyang at all.

Especially, the people here seem to live quite well.

There wasn’t a single displaced person or beggar to be seen.

You must know that his arrival this time was very urgent and sudden. Furthermore, according to Zhang Han’s Shadow Guard report, the county magistrate here did not drive away the displaced people and beggars before his arrival, putting on a false show.

It could be said that what he was seeing was the original appearance of Shu He County.

“It’s all thanks to Your Majesty’s sagacity; this subject is ashamed to accept such praise.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu, the county magistrate of Shu He County, who was serving at the side and was trembling with fear, had an excited flush on his cheeks.

To be able to receive praise from the First Emperor, Ying Zheng.

What an honor that was.

With Ying Zheng’s words, his future would be bright.

Of course.

Shu He County’s current state was closely related to another person.

Chen Yu didn’t dare to hide the truth and quickly said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, Shu He County was not prosperous originally. It is able to be like this today, thanks to one person.”

“Oh? Who?”

Ying Zheng was a bit curious. Could there be a great talent in this small Shu He County?

“Reporting to Your Majesty, this person is named Zhao Wu!”

Chen Yu quickly said, “He is of commoner origin, with only a mother at home. He is twenty-two years old this year, but he has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, with many novel ideas.”

“For example, he used unwanted wild fruits to brew a delicious fruit wine, which is famous far and wide. Not only did it make him the richest merchant in Shu He County, but it also helped the people of Shu He County improve their lives.”

“Also, there are things like stir-fried dishes and hot pot.”

Ying Zheng’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, “This fruit wine, I have also tasted it. It is indeed good, fragrant and mellow, with an endless aftertaste.”

“Stir-fried dishes and hot pot are also unique. I like them very much. I didn’t expect the inventor to be here. Interesting!”

“Summon him to court.”

“Your Majesty…”

Chen Yu hesitated, his eyes full of entanglement.

“Speak plainly, what is with all the hesitation?”

Ying Zheng scolded.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me!”

Chen Yu was startled and quickly said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, although this Zhao Wu has some novel ideas, he is not ambitious and does not use his intelligence for the right path. He spends his days in brothels and taverns.”

“And his inventions of fruit wine, stir-fried dishes, and hot pot are also because he felt that the previous food and drinks were not good enough, and he only created them to satisfy his own appetite.”

He could see that Ying Zheng was interested in Zhao Wu.

But Zhao Wu was really not a great talent.

Just a lecherous and lazy person.

He was afraid that after Ying Zheng met Zhao Wu, he would be greatly disappointed and accuse him of deceiving the Emperor.

Therefore.

He had to remind Ying Zheng and make it clear what kind of person Zhao Wu was.

“By the way, Your Majesty, the largest mansion in front is Zhao Wu’s residence. Zhao Wu is mostly out playing, but his mother is usually at home.”

Chen Yu pointed to a large mansion in front. In the courtyard, there was a three-story pavilion. At this moment, a stunningly beautiful woman who seemed to be in her twenties was standing in front of a window on the third floor of the pavilion.

The woman seemed a little curious, standing in front of the window, her beautiful eyes looking at Ying Zheng’s carriage.

Following Chen Yu’s hint, Ying Zheng’s gaze passed through the carriage curtains, and he saw the stunningly beautiful woman looking out from the pavilion at a glance.

In an instant.

Ying Zheng seemed to be electrocuted. His whole body trembled, his mind went blank, and his eyes stared fixedly at the stunningly beautiful figure in the pavilion.

“What’s wrong with Your Majesty? Could it be that he’s taken a liking to Zhao Wu’s mother?”

Seeing Ying Zheng staring blankly at the other party, Chen Yu quickly said, “Your Majesty, that is Zhao Wu’s mother, Yu Fang. She is thirty-six years old this year. I really don’t know how she maintains herself; she doesn’t look old at all.”

“Yu Fang? Yu Fang? A’pang…”

Ying Zheng tightly gripped the Heavenly Question Sword, ignoring Chen Yu. His heart was already in turmoil.

Nervous.

Anticipation.

Excitement.

Anxiety.

“A’pang! It must be A’pang! I won’t be mistaken. After all these years, she hasn’t changed at all!”

Ying Zheng was extremely excited, but when he thought of Zhao Wu, his heart sank suddenly.

His heart rose and fell.

“How old did you say Zhao Wu was?”

Ying Zheng suddenly looked at Chen Yu, his voice trembling slightly.

Under Ying Zheng’s gaze, Chen Yu only felt dizzy. An overwhelming and terrifying pressure swept in from all directions, making him feel as if he was suffocating.

Thump.

Chen Yu knelt on the ground, prostrating himself, unable to exert any strength.

“How old did you say Zhao Wu was?”

◈◈◈

Ying Zheng frowned and asked again.

Chen Yu’s whole body trembled, his mind went blank, and he instinctively said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhao Wu is twenty-two years old this year!”

At this moment, he completely forgot to think.

The First Emperor’s majesty and aura were too terrifying.

For a small county magistrate like him to be able to meet the First Emperor was already thanks to the Martial God.

“What people are in Zhao Wu’s family? Where is his father? Tell me in detail about him and his mother. If there is any falsehood, you will be executed without mercy!”

Ying Zheng’s low voice made Chen Yu’s heart tremble and his liver and gallbladder split, and he almost peed in fear.

“Yes, this subject would never dare to deceive Your Majesty!”

Chen Yu was terrified and didn’t have time to think about why Ying Zheng was asking these questions. He quickly said:

“Reporting to Your Majesty, Yu Fang came to Shu He County from outside twenty-two years ago. At that time, she should have been a few months pregnant, because she gave birth to Zhao Wu six months later.”

“As for Zhao Wu’s father, we have never seen him.”

“And there are only maids in Zhao Wu’s house, no servants. The entire mansion only has one man, Zhao Wu. This subject does not know who Zhao Wu’s father is!”

◈◈◈

Hearing this, Ying Zheng’s heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed a lot.

Ying Zheng had never established an Empress over the years.

Because there was always a woman in his heart—Xia Yu Fang.

Xia Yu Fang was someone he had met when he was in Zhao State. She had accompanied him through his most difficult times and was the woman he loved the most.

Twenty-two years ago, he wanted to make Xia Yu Fang his Empress, but he was opposed by Lu Buwei and the civil and military officials.

At that time, Lu Buwei was in power, with overwhelming influence.

And Xia Yu Fang, in order not to make things difficult for him, jumped off a cliff and committed suicide.

At that time.

He sent people to search, but to no avail.

Although there were no results, it meant that Xia Yu Fang was likely not dead.

Therefore.

He had been sending people to search for her all these years.

Unfortunately, he still hadn’t found her.

Heaven was merciful.

He didn’t expect that he would meet Xia Yu Fang here.

He didn’t know why Xia Yu Fang’s appearance hadn’t changed after more than twenty years, but he believed that he had absolutely not mistaken her.

Moreover, the time Chen Yu mentioned was also correct.

If everything was true.

Xia Yu Fang had also given birth to a son for him.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn’t help but get excited.

“Zhang Han, you go and investigate immediately. Remember not to let anyone know, and don’t disturb them.”

Ying Zheng instructed.

“Your Majesty, rest assured, this subject understands.”

Zhang Han accepted the order, and his figure instantly disappeared from the carriage.

His Shadow Guard had also been searching for Xia Yu Fang over the years under orders.

Therefore.

Zhang Han knew very well what to do.

In fact, when Zhang Han first saw Xia Yu Fang, he also recognized her.

He was just a little unsure.

After all, Xia Yu Fang looked too young.

“What happened today is not to be leaked. Those who violate this will be severely punished without mercy.”

Ying Zheng’s majestic gaze swept over Chen Yu, and his voice, like a dragon, resounded mightily.

“Your Majesty, rest assured, this subject knows nothing and has heard nothing!”

Chen Yu was trembling with fear and quickly guaranteed.

“A’pang, Zhao Wu…”

Ying Zheng’s gaze drifted, and various emotions surged in his heart.

◈◈◈

Shu He County, the temporary headquarters of the Net,

“Your Excellency, this subordinate has discovered a special situation!”

Covering Sun hurriedly walked in with an assassin and reported to Zhao Gao.

“Is there a trace of the Martial God?”

Zhao Gao’s eyes lit up, his heart full of anticipation.

“Your Excellency, it’s not the Martial God, it’s Xia Yu Fang.”

Covering Sun said.
