[Qin] Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate

It was a winter setting sun, and although much of the snow on the hillside had melted away, it was still knee-deep.The vegetation is dry and snow-capped, and the small hills are unobstructed.

More than a hundred steps away, a stone wall encloses a manor house, the stone gate is closed tightly, and the smoke is curling up. It is really an ordinary farm house.

A man in a natural silk brocade robe and a fur with a black brown fur collar strode towards this side, followed by six guards.

The commander-in-chief of the monarch's frame guard, and the bus Sima who is the deputy general of the Wangcheng Guards and the guard of the city gate came forward anxiously, and respectfully said: "Wen Xinhou."

"How is the King of Qin?" Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei asked without stopping.

As soon as this was mentioned, the bus Sima complained: "The king of Qin acted like this, and he didn't follow the law. We and the officials are at a loss, so we have to store it here as waste."

Lu Buwei didn't say much, and ordered everyone to pack up their cars and horses and go to the palace to meet King Qin.

The bus driver was very confused, but he didn't dare to say more, so he had to follow behind the other party.

However, when he saw the ordinary farmyard, he still couldn't help wondering: "This? A palace?"

Lu Buwei looked serious, and ordered: "From today, this mountain is called Hongtai, everyone, please remember. The guards are guarding outside Hongtai, and the bus Sima reports to King Qin."

Not to mention the confrontation between Lu Buwei and the King of Qin here, a golden koi is jumping vigorously on the hillside of the newly named Hongtai.

The little fish demon felt that it was going to be the year of the monkey just by bouncing around to find the way.Hey, I still have to waste my demon power and find a helper.

It's just that I feel sorry for my own poor demon power.

I still want to save it and turn it into a human form sooner.

The little fish demon feels the nearby creatures that can be coachmen.

Hey, there seems to be a big guy?

No matter, recruit first and then talk, the bigger ones walk faster.

Thinking in this way, the little fish demon began to use demon power in a targeted manner.

……

Zhao Gao grew up in a poor family with many brothers and sisters, and he was the youngest one. Therefore, when the family couldn't afford so many mouths, he was sent out by his parents.

Fortunately, he happened to meet Wangcheng to choose a servant, because of his not too shabby appearance, and more clever hands and feet, he was lucky to become a servant of Wangcheng.

Even more fortunately, he was assigned to King Qin's side, and then, with the advantage of being a bit more thoughtful and quicker than other boy servants, he was favored by King Qin and took him with him.

Right now, for some reason, King Qin suddenly proposed to move out of the royal city and live in a small courtyard near Zhangtai. Among the servants and servants, Zhao Gao was the only one with him.

Simply, he was born in a peasant family, and the environment here made him no stranger to serve the King of Qin.

However, King Qin would not let him stay by his side for most of the day, and let him wander around by himself.

Now, he was thinking of going out to see what interesting things there were in this snowy day, so that King Qin would be interested. As soon as he walked halfway up the mountain, he felt that a certain direction was suddenly very attractive, which made him change his pace involuntarily. , go over there.

When they got to the place, they looked down and saw that it was a golden koi!

It's strange to say that this koi carp appeared at such a long distance from the water source for some reason, and it seemed that it had been away from the water source for a while, but it was still alive, and its tail was still wagging.

No matter what, since the inner guidance brought me here, let's take this koi back.

Zhao Gao bent down and held the golden koi in his palm.

The koi is not big, and his child's hand can just fit in the palm of his hand.I don't know how long the koi has been out of the water, Zhao Gao stopped strolling and hurried back.

And the little fish demon held in his palm couldn't feel what was going on in the other person's heart, but only knew that he was in a state of bewilderment.

What's the matter?Why did the large creature in perception turn into a human?

Oh, it’s actually not a strange thing, human beings are creatures too!

Well!

After finally escaping from the hands of human beings, he was caught again before leaving the territory of Qin State, and he was caught by himself.What year and month will it take for me to reach Zhao Guo to find Brother Ah Zheng.

Confused.

The little fish demon felt that he was already a dead fish.

Zhao Gao carried the little fish monster into his small room through the side door, searched, but couldn't find a suitable container for the small fish, so he had to go to the kitchen again with the koi in his hand.

Of course, he didn't dare to bother the kitchen dedicated to King Qin because of his personal affairs, but he just went to the kitchen in charge of their internal servants.

"Oh, why is Xiao Gaozi so nice today, did you bring us a fish to eat?"

The cooks in the kitchen didn't have much to do at this time, they were idly practicing their knife skills.Seeing Zhao Gao approaching, he immediately noticed the fish in his hand.

Although the appearance is a bit strange, it is meat anyway, as long as it is cooked properly, the taste should not be bad.

When Zhao Gao heard that the other party misunderstood, he quickly shook his head and denied: "No, this is what I am going to raise, not food."

"What's so good about raising a fish." The cooks expressed their boredom.

The leisure and elegance of fish farming is mostly the pastime of rich and wealthy families.Like them, who are running around for a living, and they can't eat enough or wear warm clothes, how can they have the energy to raise a fish?Although the fish looks really pretty, they are not interested in anything they can't eat.

"Okay, find what you want by yourself."

Zhao Gao thanked him, but he didn't dare to take out the intact container. Instead, he dug out a large open bowl with a corner missing from the corner, flushed it a little, filled more than half of the bowl with water, and put the small fish in his hand. go in.

The little fish demon has not yet recovered from the stupid act of throwing himself into a trap, let alone heard the news that he was almost eaten, so he doesn't want to move.Once in the water, he sank lazily to the bottom.

Zhao Gao dialed the golden koi and found that the other party was not very active, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Don't worry, maybe it's because I just got out of the water and haven't slowed down. Anyway, I didn't turn white and float up. After entering the water, I should be able to survive." The cook who has a good relationship with Zhao Gao looked into the big bowl and comforted him.

Zhao Gao nodded.

That's all there is to it, just wait and let Xiaoyu speak slowly.

After thanking the cooks again, he took the little fish demon to his hut.

The little fish demon was being carried and dangled like a cradle. He didn't feel any danger around him, so he simply closed his eyes, planning to take a good night's sleep first.

No matter, I was tired just now, take a good rest first, and then think of a way to leave again when I wake up.

The little fish demon, who fell asleep for a second, did not expect that in the courtyard next to his courtyard, the elder brother Ah Zheng he was thinking of was inside.

"Father Zhong must have something to do this time, but please make it clear."

In the center of the main hall, a small banquet has been set up.Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei sat facing each other, held up their wine glasses and drank three rounds, before Ying Zheng put down his wine glass and cupped his hands.

"My king knows that after Qin Xiaogong, the young master came to the throne twice, one time was King Zhaoxiang, and the other was you. However, King Zhaoxiang was not in charge, but he was king for 42 years. What is the reason?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I would like to hear Father Zhong's teachings."

Lu Buwei lightly clasped the wooden case, and said eight words: "Stay close to the center, and hear everything personally."

A light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

Of course he knew these eight characters.

Hear everything personally, never leave the center.

Why does he want to leave this center?Why doesn't he want to be the king of Qin well?He also wanted to use his power to call capable people after he became King Qin, to see if there was a way to get his brother Xiaoyu back.

However, in the current situation, if he doesn't leave, let alone hear everything personally, even the false title of King Qin might not be able to keep it.

Now, Ying Zheng can only act as if he is thinking about it for the first time.

Lu Buwei didn't realize that the young King Qin, whom he didn't care about very much, was pretending in front of him, and continued: "The ordinary young master is either sensual, or willing to do other things. After all, he has one thought--believe in the mother of the regent. Power ministers can finally return power to themselves. However, as everyone knows, power swallows personal feelings the most."

Afterwards, Lu Buwei gave examples such as the Queen Mother Xuan and explained in detail.

"Young man Wang knows everything, and you should know all kinds of joints."

Know, already know.

This is what Ying Zheng wanted.

He pretended to meditate for a long time, and finally stood up and knelt down to pay respects: "Father Zhong taught, Zheng will always remember it in his heart."

Then he stood up and shouted an order to the people waiting outside the door: "Close this village and return to Xianyang King City immediately!"

……

Zhao Gao, who received the news of returning to the city, hurriedly packed his things.After tidying up his things briefly, he trotted to serve where King Qin was.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly looked at the big bowl with golden koi on the table, put it in his backpack, found a place where the water would not pour out, and then hurried out the door.

On a dry and cold winter night, this well-groomed royal carriage finally entered the royal city.The elder Shi Huanli, who had been waiting all the time, hastily ordered Wang Cheng to light up the lights to greet him.

In the next three days, Ying Zheng heard everything as he said.

In fact, even if he doesn't want to hear it personally.Lu Buwei suffered a serious illness in the next three days, precisely because of persuading Ying Zheng to return to the city in the snowy night.

After the news spread, all the ministers praised Wen Xinhou for his "great righteousness".

Of course, Ying Zheng didn't care if they occasionally questioned him.

In the past three days, although there were not many government affairs that he could handle, when they were sent back to the courtiers after passing through his hands, they were not questioned any more.At the very least, the young King Qin has done a good job in dealing with some court affairs.

And these three days, for the little fish monster, it was simply exhausting.

He didn't expect that when he woke up, he would change places again.

The guy who was called "Little Gaozi" by others may have become more busy in this new place and had no time to take care of this fish, so he dumped it into a garden pond.

The little fish demon woke up in this pool.

If he hadn't still wanted to find brother Ah Zheng, he might have settled down here.

Not only this pool, but even the air outside the pool contains a particularly high amount of spiritual energy. Presumably, if he meditates here, the day when he transforms into a human form is not far away.

Perhaps, it is really possible to stay here and wait until the human form is drawn before starting?

After all, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood.
