It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Xu Zhi and Taoyao talked about meeting Zhao Jia in Handan that day.

Also talked about Atian and her daughter.

Tao Yao had no impression of what her father had done before his death. Now because of Han An, it is inconvenient for her to meet her sister.

"Perhaps the jade pendant A Tian is guarding is most likely Luo Shu. Does He Hua know where they are now?"

In Xu Zhi's understanding, the Luoshu should be like a turtle board with characters on it, which was not very similar to what they dug out from under the pear tree.

Xu Zhi was so familiar with the luxurious objects in the Qin Palace that he never carefully observed the exquisitely designed utensils in the pavilion. I didn't pay much attention to the fine moiré patterns on the edge of the lacquer table. If I rub it lightly, I will know the exquisiteness of the edges and the ingenuity of the craftsmen who made the case in the interlocking loops.

A variety of bronze utensils are placed on these squares and tables, which are also very different in details from the excavated ancient utensils.

Maybe the rumored Luo Shu was not what she imagined.

Xu Zhi placed Hetuluoshu after unifying the world.

Especially after knowing that there is another Mo Qi in the world, she is not in a hurry to get Luo Shu.

Earlier, Xu Zhi asked Ah Zhi to check the identity of Ah Tian's mother, but there has been no news.

"The supervisor rescued Miss A-Tian in Handan City. Where is A-Tian now? I still need to ask the supervisor."

For some reason, Li Xian always felt that these words sounded awkward to him. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. She must have never worried about her life or death from the beginning to the end when she disappeared in Handan City.

Li Xian felt a chill in his body.

He was stimulated in Zhongnan Mountain not long ago. Fortunately, he is also a good doctor. Without Xu Zhi's river map, he looked for a way to continue it.

But if he continues like this, he doesn't know how long he can take it.

"When I left Zhao, I heard that they were still in Handan and had not yet planned to leave."

Tao Yao thought about it for a moment and said, "I'll go find them right now."

"Aunt. Wait a few months before going. I'm afraid it won't be safe at this time."

Taoyao clenched the sword in her hand, knowing what she was talking about.

"It doesn't matter. The matter will be settled quickly. I will try my best to return at the beginning of next month."

Tao Yao stood up neatly and glanced at Li Xian before leaving the house, "I heard that your father will go to Guangwucheng soon, so let him find more masters. There are many people in Yingchuan County who want to kill Li Si."

Xu Zhi stood up and followed Tao Yao downstairs. She saw the double-knot swaying around Taoyao's waist, and felt that everything on Xinzheng Road suddenly seemed like a dream.

The two of them were under the eaves, and the silver rain outside the eaves was like a thread.

"Howard."

Taoyao used to be like a sister, but now she's more like an elder, so her words can't help but be more serious.

She raised her hand and touched Ying Hehua's face. Thinking of Ali's struggle and separation over the past ten years, she couldn't help but sigh: "Hehua does look a lot like my sister. But in this troubled world, being too beautiful is the only thing that matters." A disaster."

Xu Zhi smiled with his eyes bent, closed her hand, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, aunt, Da Qin is not a Yue country, nor is it like Korea back then."

Tao Yao motioned to Ying Hehua to read the words on the plaque.

"Linyuan Pavilion." Xu Zhi thought.

Tao Yao said: "It is better to retreat and build a net than to envy fish in the deep water; it is better to remove the fire and draw fuel from the fire to stop it from boiling."

Xu Zhi was startled, this aphorism was not a pre-Qin language.

"Where did Auntie say this? He Hua seems to have heard it somewhere."

Tao Yao's eyes brightened a lot, "Have you heard of He Hua? When I was young, I studied under Mo Zi. One of my uncles often spouted witty sayings, which is much more interesting than what Zi said."

"The uncle my aunt talks about is Mo Qi from Zhongnan Mountain?"

Tao Yao seemed to have heard that he called himself Yu Mo Qi. He nodded and said, "Uncle Master's real name is Mo Yuan. He may be the seventh in rank. It is said that this is the name outside the Mo family."

Xu Zhi couldn't help but suddenly realized. No wonder, Li Xian once said that some subtle things were different from his previous experiences. It turned out that Mo Qi's activities when he was young had a subtle effect.

"Aunt, if Ayu has any needs in Shu, or if you have any needs, He Hua will take care of them."

"Holland,"

Xu Zhi continued: "I know that my aunt cares about her identity. Don't worry, I will find a way for you to meet my mother and concubine at the end of this year."

Taoyao patted the back of her hand, "I know you are smart. For some reason, I always feel that you are more important now than before."

She always felt that there was a faint sadness in Ying Hehua's eyes. Just like Ali back then, she always hid her words and never told others what she had endured.

Taoyao asked, "What's going on at the end of the year?"

"This year's winter moon is my wife, how could you forget?" Xu Zhi pouted and said, "Now that I have Auntie, I can't forget He Hua. If this is the case, He Hua will be sulky."

Taoyao saw that her words and laughter were still the same as before, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay." Taoyao ruffled her hair and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry too much about everything. Take care of yourself."

"Sister Wang Heng taught me the crossbow. I have been studying and practicing hard these days. I dare not say that I can hit a target with a hundred steps, but I can hit one of two shots. He Hua can protect himself, so my aunt is not worried."

Before Taoyao left, she was going to give her the unopened umbrella in her hand.

Xu Zhi stopped and said, "My aunt is going to Handan. It's raining heavily in Xianyang. Don't get wet. Don't worry about me. Azhi will send an umbrella later."

Xu Zhi watched Tao Yao leave, took a long breath, turned around and was about to go upstairs.

She ran into a man dressed in black.

Li Xian held the roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and he had no intention of letting her go.

Even when I took a step to go down, the stairs to the attic were already narrow, and it was impossible to accommodate two people while going up and down.

She is not someone who gives in easily.

She held her head high, and even when she raised her head, she could only look at him up to his shoulders.

The two were in a stalemate.

Li Xian pressed her elbows on the escalator, smiling maliciously, raising her voice as if she was afraid that the people in this inn wouldn't know she was a princess.

"Princess Yong'an, do you want to sit with me in the pavilion for a while?"

"you."

Xu Zhi took a step back in compromise, and then he stood where she was just now.

He bowed and looked down at her, "Princess, hurry up."

His movements were tight, and he didn't know where he returned to Xianyang from. The shoes were not used by officials in Xianyang. They were heavy and heavy, like iron. Moreover, Li Xian had to step on them very firmly, and he carried a sense of dignity in every move he made. There was an extremely strong sense of oppression, almost forcing her to retreat.

She had never felt that it was so humiliating to go downstairs.

She had just taken a few steps forward, and now she had to take a few steps back.

Finally stepped on the last step.

Xu Zhi turned around, but the rain outside the eaves blocked her way. It was at a critical moment to destroy Wei, and Zhang Liang was going on an envoy early tomorrow morning. She couldn't afford to catch a cold today.

Especially when some people don't look healthy.

Xu Zhi didn't notice that Li Xian was coughing under his breath just now during the dinner.

He looked a little pale now.

Xu Zhi didn't want to say words of concern that would misunderstand him.

Standing under the eaves, she wanted him to supervise her duties, so there was no time to be relatively speechless.

She thought: "I think Li Tingwei went to Guangwu City with Zheng Guo. I once heard Mr. Han Fei say that Zheng Guo was more skilled in martial arts than him. There are few traces of Mohist activities in Wei State. , I think Tingwei will be fine, so you can rest assured."

Li Xiandao: "I was originally worried about my father. Now I heard the princess's analysis. She is good at government affairs and is familiar with the affairs of the court even if she doesn't go to court."

Xu Zhi has been annoyed by people these days. Instead of quarreling with him, she said pleasantly: "Thank you for letting my aunt come to see me today."

"When we were in Handan, I promised you that I would let you see her. I have fulfilled my promise. Princess, there is no need to say thank you."

Li Xian was rarely polite.

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand and handed the bamboo scroll in front of her, "I think the princess needs this scroll."

But because he was standing outside with an umbrella, Xu Zhi was standing under the eaves.

The distance he handed out was a bit far. Unless she walked into the rain, she wouldn't be able to catch it.

"...Why are you handing it so far?"

Li Xian didn't move. Just now he was pressing forward step by step, but now he was unwilling to take another step.

The curtain of the carriage not far behind her was opened, and the person riding in it was wearing the official uniform of the Yushi Mansion.

Li Xian stared at her and smiled slowly: "Azhi, there is no need for you and me to stand so far apart and talk."

?

Xu Zhi was frightened by this title for a moment.

Without thinking much, she stepped under his umbrella, covered his mouth, took a step closer, raised her head, stared into his eyes and said, "Don't call me that outside."

The smile in Li Xian's eyes deepened, "Can I understand that the princess means that I can be called like this when I am in Zhilan Palace?"

"Neither."

Xu Zhi refused flatly and quickly snatched the bamboo scroll from his hand.

She took the bamboo slips and immediately opened them to read.

"Princess, you don't even believe me in such a thing?" He said, his throat felt itchy, his chest hurt, and the fishy smell rushed into his throat. He immediately covered his mouth and nose and coughed.

"what happened to you?"

But Zhang Liang had already got off the carriage.

Li Xian is a man who is determined to take revenge. He will take revenge immediately for the revenge he committed in Mount Zhongnan that day.

So just when he was about to say that nothing happened, he immediately changed his mind and said, "I haven't been feeling well lately and I often vomit blood."

Xu Zhi immediately remembered the prescription she had seen in the cabinet in the dormitory, and also recalled that she had vomited blood without warning before.

"Vomiting blood? How could this happen?"

Li Xian shook his head, after coughing a few more times.

He finally saw her frowning for him, and finally there was a hint of worry between her eyebrows.

He grabbed her wrist, then quickly let go, whispering: "I'll give you whatever you want. If you doubt me, don't worry, I will die faster than you, you don't know." place."

Xu Zhi's heart tightened. If he had symptoms similar to hers, he would probably fall into a coma immediately.

"Jing Qian. You won't die."

She tried to help him aside, but he wouldn't move.

"Take a deep breath. Don't scare me."

She quickly went to pick off his hand that was covering half of his face, and wanted to open his fist hand.

The raindrops slid down his slender knuckles to the palm of his hand. There were scars on the palm of his left hand, but there was no blood at all!

Xu Zhi discovered that he had successfully deceived her again.

"Lee Hyun!!"

This time it really scared her.

She was never polite to Li Xian.

She wanted to slap him away, but her wrist was grabbed, and she was pulled into his arms with a force of gravity.

Just a second before she opened his hand, the blood in her palm was already hidden by his dark sleeve. The blood and the deep black merged together, making it impossible to see.

Li Xian was worried that the red stone would cause trouble to her. Death and pain were nothing to him, and he would not hesitate to do it again.

Li Xian was on Zhongnan Mountain until he heard those words from Xia Wuji. Only then did he realize that he was completely wrong. The way she looked at Zhang Liang and everything she did for Zhang Liang made him feel unparalleled pain and jealousy.

And only now did he realize that the only thing he was afraid of was that she would completely look away from him.

Li Xian stared at her, and there was clear humility in his dark pupils.

He didn't care whether he pitied him or cared about him, and he didn't mind being heard by someone.

The raindrops turned from a steady patter to a heavy downpour.

The heavy rain could not cover his hoarse voice.

"Xu Zhi, Ah Zhi, don't abandon me. If you are willing to look at me more, I will beg you for mercy. I can ask for nothing, as long as you look at me one more time."

When he said such words, his hands tightening around her waist were not humble at all.

"presumptuous!"

It was raining heavily and there were no people in this alley, but this was Xianyang Market!

Does he think he has lived too long?

"Are you crazy?!"

Li Xian could hold her waist with one hand. He stood in the rain and said in an inaudible voice:

"Why do you want to take medicine? If you listen to my heart and look at my eyes, you will know that I will be more obedient and better behaved than Zhang Liang."
