When the loss came to my heart, it disappeared without a trace in a moment because of Shikiya's promise.

Zhao Zheng looked at her faint smile, her eyes were clear and contained huge energy. He should have laughed off her seemingly joking words, but because it was her who said it, Zhao Zheng could no longer doubt it.

This wonderful feeling was my first experience in my life. Although I had not known her for long, I felt that many years had passed. This face and this person seemed to have been with me for several years.

Shimiya watched him look at him without speaking, and the haze in his eyes gradually dissipated.

"What's wrong?"

she asked with a smile.

"Do you think I have a chance to become king?"

If anyone else heard Zhao Zheng's words, they would definitely be shocked. He, the abandoned hostage of the Qin State, would most likely never be able to return to his hometown, let alone become a king, and living the life of an ordinary commoner would be as good as the heavens. It’s still difficult!

But Shimi was not surprised, nor did she look down upon him. These seemingly overestimating words, but in Zhao Zheng's slightly hesitant tone, she had already found a bit of the image of the future overlord who would dominate the world!

Shimi didn't answer him right away, which made Zhao Zheng lose his confidence. He was afraid of others laughing at his ambition and also afraid of being looked down upon by others.

"What? Could it be... am I really overestimating my abilities?"

Seeing her silence, I lost confidence.

After a long time, Shiya replied with a smile, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Don't you believe in yourself? You were born to be a king!"

This sentence has great influence on the young Zhao Zheng! He has never revealed the ambition in his heart, even Yan Dan, who has been with him since childhood, he has never said a word, but facing Shimi, this ambition is growing day and night. , having an outlet to vent.

"Seriously? Are you fooling me?"

Shimi looked at the young man in front of him. Although he would be an emperor who ruled the world in the future, he was still a young man after all. His eyes were very beautiful. Shimi liked his red and phoenix eyes very much. Although he was a bit cold and arrogant, when he smiled At this time, these eyes are extremely smart and fascinating.

"Of course not! I have full confidence in you!"

The originally depressing atmosphere gradually became brighter. Zhao Zheng was no longer gloomy, but started talking to Shimiya with great interest.

Seeing that his mood improved, Shimi asked with a smile again

"Do you know what qualities you need to have to be a wise king?"

Zhao Zheng blinked a few times, thought for a moment, and said slowly

"Want to read enough poems and books to learn everything from the past to the present?"

"Yes……"

"You must be good at balancing forces when doing things, make decisions promptly, and avoid being indecisive?"

"Right!"

Shimi looked at him, and Zhao Zheng said slowly

"Don't listen to the words of sycophants. You must be good at discovering talents and appointing people on their merits, right?"

In front of Ying Zheng, he asked him how to govern the country. He was really dancing in front of Guan Gong!

I met Wang Jian today. Although the secret must not be leaked, the person who can help Zhao Zheng is right in front of me. How can Shimi ignore this problem? Wang Jian's help is indispensable for achieving hegemony!

She was silent for a moment and solemnly said to Zhao Zheng

"The Wang Jian I met today...if you return to Qin in the future, you must reuse him!"

"How do you say this? Do you recognize him?"

Zhao Zheng didn't understand why Shimi paid so much attention to Wang Jian, whom he only met once.

"What is he capable of?"

"I saw that his eyes were bright, his bearing was extraordinary, and his skills were also good. What is commendable is that in these troubled times, he still has the quality of being brave and courageous. Don't you think that in today's situation, there are fewer and fewer such people? "

Zhao Zheng listened with little understanding.

"If I return to Qin in the future, I will definitely keep your words in mind and look for him to come back!"

After nightfall, Shimi and Zhao Zheng had dinner together and then went out to look for Peng Shuanglin.

After wandering through several streets, I found some information about him from pedestrians.

Peng Shuanglin has been in the Warring States Period for decades, but he has never had a close friendship with anyone. He often disappears and disappears. It is really difficult to find out his whereabouts.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on him. The more people know about carrying such a treasure, the more dangerous he will be. If he is accidentally snatched away by evil people, he will really start a bloody storm.

As we walked further and further away from the busy city, almost outside the city, we found Peng Shuanglin's thatched hut in a secluded corner of the mountain forest.

The small courtyard was more dilapidated than expected. If it weren't for the lights in the house, Shimi would have thought that this dilapidated small house had been uninhabited for a long time.

"I don't know what this old scholar wants? If he was a respectable academic researcher in modern times, wouldn't it be better than here? The Warring States period was short of supplies, and the nobles didn't even have abundant food, let alone poor people like us. , Besides, here, there are no relatives or friends, not even one person who can take care of each other, does he really want to spend thousands of years in such loneliness?"

Stepping to the front of the house, Shimi knocked on Peng Shuanglin's door.

Peng Shuanglin was not surprised by what she said. He had been waiting for a long time!

The lights in the house were dim, making this small place even more messy.

"I want to go back to modern times, I hope you can help me!"

Peng Shuanglin took a sip of hot tea and said leisurely

"Of course I will help you. If you are left here and something goes wrong, it will be detrimental to both you and me. It's just..."

He looked out the window

"If I want to activate the Pisces Jade Pendant to take you back, you have to wait for the opportunity!"

"What time is it?"

Shikiya asked quickly.

Peng Shuanglin was unhurried, which made her even more anxious.

"When the five stars gather, I can use it to send you back! If there is no five-star gathering, it will be just an ordinary jade pendant!"

"Five-star convergence? What does it mean? Does it require some kind of celestial phenomenon?"

Peng Shuanglin smiled and nodded.

"You have to wait until Taibai, Suixing, Chenxing, Yinghuo, and Zhenxing appear in the east at the same time during the Zi hour. Then I will place the jade pendant under the sky, take some of your blood, and pour it on the Pisces jade pendant before I can send you back. "

These words sounded like some kind of mysterious sacrifice. Shikiya didn't even know whether these ridiculous words were credible! She looked at Peng Shuanglin's unpredictable expression and couldn't understand it.

"How do you know this works? Have you tried it?"

Peng Shuanglin laughed twice and shook his head

"Of course I haven't tried it. I came here by mistake. My skin was scratched by the broken bronze in the tomb, and I accidentally dripped blood on the jade pendant. That's why I came here. What I said today This method is also found in an ancient book. If you believe it, you can come back to me after a month."

Peng Shuanglin said with a smile

"You are very lucky. The spectacle of five stars converging is rare. It takes decades or even hundreds of years to encounter it. But in the middle of next month, it will be the time when five stars convene. If you are so eager to go back, don't miss it. It's gone! If you miss it, you'll never go back!"
