Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

It was built for officials.

Its purpose is to give pedestrians a rest.

After all, the weather is unpredictable, sometimes it blows and rains, and if pedestrians are on the road, they will be hit by the rain, and the construction of this gazebo is just for pedestrians to take shelter from the rain.

In Qin State, there are many such pavilions.

They were all built by officials from various places ordered by Lu Buwei.

He doesn't have any other purpose, he just wants to make people's lives better and make them feel more warm.

At this moment, Lu Buwei and Zheng Huo are in the pavilion.

The former bowed to the latter and said, "Xiangbang, are you waiting for him here?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Buwei nodded and said: "Once you enter the city, the officials in the city will inevitably come to disturb you. The old man is old and likes to be quiet. Counting the time, the champion should be leaving the city soon. This official road is It is the only way to return to Xianyang, be patient and wait, he will appear."

He came here suddenly to wait for Ying Yuan!

Have to say, this is a surprising thing.

When he came all the way, Zheng Huo felt puzzled in his heart, and after thinking twice, he asked: "Dare to ask Xiangbang, why didn't you wait for him in Xianyang? You want to see him, but you have to come here in person. Your body is exhausted after traveling and traveling. ...."

Having said that, he hesitated to speak but stopped.

Lu Buwei took out a piece of bread from his bosom, gnawed it with relish, and said while eating, "In Xianyang City, I am the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. But here, I am just a villager in the mountains and wild cranes."

Zheng Huo couldn't hold his tongue, frowned secretly, thinking: "Could it be that Xiangbang intends to die?"

He has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years and has offended many powerful people. If Lu Buwei really has the idea of ​​stepping down as Prime Minister of any country, then he must make a way out early.

Standing next to him anxiously, not speaking, just standing there cautiously and quietly.

Outside the gazebo is an open field, where there are more than ten guards protecting Lu Buwei.

He concentrated on eating the slightly hard pancake, without any dislike in his heart. From a distance, he really looked like a farmer who, in order to save time, randomly made two bites to fill his hunger when he was resting during the busy farming season. appearance.

It's hard to imagine that Daqin Xiangbang, who is in a high position and has never been short of money, has such a scene of being close to the people.

What's even more rare is that Zheng Huo, who has been with Lu Buwei for many years, didn't find it strange at all when he saw the scene in front of him, on the contrary, he was used to it.

It can be seen that this is not the first time he has eaten this kind of whole grain.

After swallowing the big cake completely, he looked at Zheng Huo and said with a smile: "You know, the old man has been busy for most of his life, what do you want?"

Zheng Huo frowned, thought for a while, and tentatively replied: "Is it for the sake of being immortal?"

Lu Buwei laughed loudly, as if thinking of something, he hesitated again and again, and finally decided to say: "You are far worse than your brother Zheng Yi. Over the years, you two have worked hard to follow this old man, but you Elder brother usually keeps a low profile, but you insist that you are in the prime minister's mansion, and you can be said to be extremely arrogant and domineering, which has offended many dignitaries.

I didn't want to talk to you about these things, but today is different from the past. The old man has a hunch that something big will happen in the near future. You...don't follow the old man anymore. Otherwise, the old man is worried that after losing power in the future, will not be able to take care of you, and you will be in trouble at that time. "

Zheng Huo's face was ashen, and he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and his breathing became short of breath, obviously frightened by his words.

Looking at his expression, Lu Buwei sighed and shook his head, "You have some cleverness, but it is useless. The reason why I kept you by my side all these years is because when I first came to Xianyang, you protected the former king.

The old man will give you a sum of money, go to Qi State, hide your name, and never go back to Xianyang again.Do as the old man said, maybe you can still enjoy your old age, otherwise..."

Having said that, he slowly closed his eyes.

Zheng Huo's face turned pale immediately, he knelt down on his knees, came to Lu Buwei, kowtowed and said, "Xiangbang...I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Even though he was afraid just now, he still felt a little calm in his heart.

But now... the trembling emotions have completely wiped out his last trace of composure.

"This old man is making a living for you!"

Lu Buwei opened his eyes, his eyes widened with anger, hating that iron cannot be made into steel, "I will give you some gold, silver and jewels, bring them to Qi State, marry an aunt, live well, leave an heir for yourself, save some money, It’s enough for three generations of you.”

"I... my brother..."

Zheng Huo raised his heart to his throat, his whole body was tense like a bowstring being stretched full.

On the contrary, Lu Buwei calmed down, "Afterwards, I will tell Zheng Yi that it was you who accidentally fell off the cliff, leaving no bones left. He will understand the good intentions of the truth, let's go, not far ahead, there will be a carriage and a cart You can't use this face anymore, find a place where no one is around, and disfigure it. If you have money in the future, it will not be difficult to start a family."

His approach seems to be dealing with some things.

It is also protecting some people.

He knows he is old.

I also know...the authority in my hand will sooner or later fall by the wayside.

It's time to make some arrangements.

At this time, Lu Buwei in the gazebo and Zheng Huo who was kneeling on the ground looked so helpless and desolate.

[75.Chapter 74: The merit lies in the family and the country, and the sin lies in oneself]

Zheng Huo left.

He ran away from the gazebo at his fastest speed.

He dared not turn his head or turn around.

There is no stop in the middle.

He didn't stop until he saw a carriage in front of him, panting greedily.

His back was already drenched with sweat.

He didn't dare to hesitate because Zheng Huo knew very well in his heart that once he hesitated, Lu Buwei would definitely think that he didn't have a firm mind.

Immediately afterwards, he will be cut down and wiped out.

in the gazebo.

Lu Buwei looked at the back of Zheng Huo leaving, and murmured: "The world has changed, and it has been so many years."

A snare killer came to him, knelt down on one knee and said, "Xiangbang, are you just letting him go like this?"

Lu Buwei slowly closed his eyes, and said calmly: "If he doesn't want to be disfigured, then let him disappear completely."

There are many nobles from all over the world who know what Zheng Huo looks like. In order to prevent some people from using Zheng Huo to steal the secrets of Qin State, he had to make some sacrifices.

After all, he has followed Lu Buwei for many years and knows many secrets.

Lu Buwei believed that he would not take the initiative to use those secrets as a means of earning profits, because he did not have the guts.

However, there is no guarantee that some people will not fall for him.
