Chapter 188

"Zhao Shuang is leaving?"

In Huayang Palace, the Empress Dowager Huayang listened to Lord Changping's words, with doubts on her face.

"It shouldn't be!"

The Empress Dowager Huayang paced in the palace, muttering something.

Cheng Yu was killed, and there was a vacuum in Xianyang's court.Zhao Shuang didn't want to take a step forward at this moment and gain a firm foothold in Xianyang, but wanted to withdraw instead, which is really strange.

Mr. Changping took a step closer and said in a low voice.

"At the court that day, the king admired Lord Hanyang a lot and wanted to be appointed as an official. But Lord Hanyang resigned, and in turn pleaded for the leaders and clan under Cheng Yu's command. He gave such a big favor in vain , but didn’t want anything, and made the Queen Mother Zhao resentful. I really don’t understand what Zhao Shuang wants to do?”

Speaking of this, Mr. Changping couldn't help but smile.

"Could it be that at such a young age, Zhao Shuang is already like those Taoist hermits, with a pure heart and no desires, no love for the prosperity of the world?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang couldn't help but smile when she heard this, her expression was certain.

"Understood, he feels that this is not the time to become an official."

"Isn't it an opportunity to become an official?"

"Above the court, Lu Buwei is in control of the power. Now that there is a woman, it is obvious that there will be a bloody storm. He wants to hide aside and watch the fun."

"Then what should we do?"

"Isn't it nice to be able to watch the fun? It's Lu Buwei who should be in a hurry, not you!"

"I understand!"

"Empress Dowager, Lord Hanyang is seeking an audience outside."

The Empress Dowager Huayang restrained her smile and waved her hand.

"Please come in."

"I pay homage to the Empress Dowager Huayang!"

"Long time no see, Shuang'er is much more energetic."

The Empress Dowager Huayang was smiling all over her face, looking at Zhao Shuang, her words were polite, but not as earnest as before.

"Mr. Hanyang and Xiangbang are very close, why do you have time to come here today?"

Mr. Changping sat on the head of the Empress Dowager Huayang and said with a cold face.

"Mr. Changping was just joking, no matter how close I am to Xiangbang, how can we be as affectionate as Weng and son-in-law?"

At Zhao Shuang's words, the smile on the face of the Empress Dowager Huayang subsided, and she nodded slightly.

"Shuang'er's words make me feel sorry for my family. No matter how good you are with outsiders, how can you be as kind as your own family."

"The queen mother is right!"

It was getting late, and the Empress Dowager Huayang left Zhao Shuang and Mr. Changping for dinner.

However, looking at the dishes on the table, Zhao Shuang was slow to speak, with a worried expression on his face.

"Shuang'er, don't the dishes suit your appetite?"

"No, the delicacies in the Queen Mother's Palace are very delicious. I just thought that there are a lot of Guizhou heads in Guanzhong who are going to be exiled to Lintao due to the chaos in Guanzhong. Killing. But these crimes are not only to be built, but also to be on guard against Hu Qiang's attack. If you are not careful, you may even lose your life."

The Empress Dowager Huayang raised her head, a little brilliance flashed in her eyes.

"That's right! The head of Guizhou is indeed innocent. Shuang'er thinks, what should I do?"

"The Xiongnu is powerful, occupying the land of Henan, crossing the Great Wall repeatedly, and threatening the border of our Great Qin, which is really a serious problem. It's just that our Great Qin is still unable to deal with the Xiongnu at this moment. I heard that there is a branch of Rongdi in the southwest of the Xiongnu, It was the descendant of Guifang back then, who was named Yuezhi. I, Daqin, can send envoys to make friends and do business with each other in order to support it. If it can be successful, firstly, it can contain the Xiongnu, and secondly, it can also reduce border disputes."

"Shuang'er's words are really kind-hearted. The Ai family understands that Lord Changping should persuade the king above the court to implement this strategy."

After a banquet, Zhao Shuang said goodbye and left.

Mr. Changping held his breath, and finally asked when Zhao Shuang left.

"Empress Dowager, Zhao Shuang's whimsical idea, what do you want to do?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang smiled and said slightly.

"Where do we have to go to go to Xitu?"

"Yong City!"

Mr. Changping blurted out, and he understood.

Queen Mother Zhao is in Yongcheng!

"It doesn't matter if this strategy succeeds or fails, if it works, Yongcheng will be lively. At that time, envoys and caravans will all gather in Yongcheng. There will be many people, and some things will be interesting."

The Empress Dowager Huayang smiled, with a sense of coldness, but she seemed to be more solemn than the cold wind at night.

……

Outside Huayang Palace.

The carriage stopped, and Zhao Shuang just got into the carriage when he heard a sound from the side.

The soldiers stopped the comer, but beyond hearing the halberd, the comer bowed his hands and saluted.

"My lord, Xiangbang invites you to go to the mansion for a while."

"I'm not feeling well. I've caught wind and cold. I'm afraid it will disturb Xiangbang. Please come and report to Xiangbang. I'll come back to plead guilty in the next day."

In the astonishment of the envoy, the carriage left slowly without leaving any trace.

On the carriage, Wei Zhuang sat beside him.

"Lu Xiang has always been close to you. Why, someone helped you just now, and you treat others like this?"

Wei Zhuang's gaze carried a feral intent of devouring people, trying to figure out what was the reason for this sudden change?

"It's not that I'm ungrateful, it's just a ship that is doomed to break, and it's meaningless to keep up with it."

"Doomed to break?"

Cheng Yu had just died, and Lu Buwei was in full swing, and his power was at its height.At this time, Zhao Shuang said that Lu Buwei was going to lose, which seemed a bit whimsical to outsiders.

It's like a fool's dream.

But there was indeed a smile on Wei Zhuang's face.

"If a ship is going to break, it's useless to stay on it. Are you trying to persuade me to get off the ship?"

"Yes."

"The greatest benefit can only be obtained in danger. I will not leave this ship."

But Zhao Shuang looked at Wei Zhuang with a smile on his face.

"A Zhuang!"

Wei Zhuang's complexion changed, and his expression became very strange.

"Remember our fellowship?"

"Stop doing this with me."

Zhao Shuang was deflated, and the smile on his face grew wider.

"Then let me put it another way, remember the money you owe me?"

"What... do you want me to do?"

Wei Zhuang's face was a little weak, but Zhao Shuang smiled and took out a roll of bamboo slips from the box.

……

Xiangbangfu.

"I know, you go down first!"

The attendant brought back Zhao Shuang's words, and he didn't want to come, but Lu Buwei didn't have time to get angry.

In the cold study room, Lu Buwei's hands trembled slightly in cold sweat.

There is nothing that can make Da Qin's Xiangbang like this, except for the heinous disaster that he just learned.

Lu Buwei finally understood why Zhao Ji wanted to look for Lao Ai in the court, and also understood why Zhao Shuang was eager to turn around and draw a clear line with him.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to withdraw from Xianyang.

However, before he had time to get angry, Lu Buwei felt that Zhao Ji and Lao Ai had tied him to their wrecked boat.

It has been a long time since Xiangbang of Daqin was not so distraught and unable to think of a countermeasure.

After a long time, the complicated emotions of east and west finally turned into a long sigh.

"This woman is really crazy."
