Yu Zishi didn't expect that half a month later, a letter recalled not His Highness the Prince who had been shot in the San Jin Dynasty, but His Royal Highness and his father.

During the Marquis of Wucheng in the Great Qin Dynasty, General Wang Jian disarmed and returned to the court.

Under the long steps, Li Xin in a white robe met the old general with a dusty face and frosty temples. At that time, the wind rolled up the skirts of the courtiers like ink, and all the civil and military officials lined up in two rows on the side of the street watched this scene silently, one after another. Silence consciously.

The emperor stood on the long steps with his hands behind his back, and the three characters "Xianyang Palace" behind him were scarlet like blood under a round of red sun.Finally, he opened his mouth and asked, "How many soldiers and horses do we need to send troops to attack Chu?"

"60." Wang Jian said in a hoarse voice with his back slightly bent.

Li Xin glanced at Wang Jian lightly, and said flatly, "20."

Manchao Wenwu suddenly took a breath, and looked at the general who was under the rank with a rampant tone.Wind-curling snow-colored robes, the young man wears the Great Qin Wuguan on his head, and a basalt sapphire belt hook around his waist. He is slender and elegant, and has the style of a famous general of a generation.

The emperor suddenly laughed, and Xuanhei's royal uniform was suddenly chilling, "Okay, 20!"

The faces of Yu Zishi and Li Si among the courtiers changed slightly, but they didn't say what it was.A word from the emperor is more important than Jiuding.

One month later, General Li Xin led 20 troops to attack Chu.

During that whole month, the whole of Xianyang was spreading wildly the words of General Li Xin, saying that some young people overwhelm veteran generals, and some were arrogant when they said their ambitions. Can set off a new splashing wave.

But what impressed Yu Zishi the most was the back view. On that day, all the courtiers dispersed and the emperor returned to the palace. All the noise and bustle were extinguished. Yu Zishi saw Wang Jian standing there, his back slightly bent and motionless.

That day, standing under the steps for a long time, the veteran sighed softly, turned and left.On the spacious palace road, he walked very slowly step by step, but each step was extremely steady.

At the flick of a finger, the war between the South and the North has been going on for decades.

How many people in the world still remember that many years ago, it was also at this level, on this palace road, that the former king personally gave him the golden seal of Wang Jian, a general, and taught him to be a young man to wear strong and sharp, step on the demon atmosphere, and smash rivers and mountains.

Up to now, I have spent 50 years at the frontier, and I only dare to say softly, dozens of battles in my life, I am upright, and I have never lost a single defeat.

Lian Po is old, and Wang Jian is also old now.

……

Three months later, news of Li Xinjie poured into Xianyang continuously, and everything was good.

At the end of the same month, at the end of summer and early autumn, Empress Dowager Zhao died of illness.

In the small cell, a person in purple clothes and black crown slowly walked in.He stood still in front of that corner, looking down at the prisoner who hadn't seen the sun for a long time.The prisoner raised his head slowly, the room was dim, it took him a while to see the person in front of him clearly, after a while he said in a hoarse voice, "You are old."

The two looked at each other without mentioning the rebellion.

Wei Liao sat down tremblingly, put the jar of plum wine aside, and sighed: "People are always getting old. Get up, I'll bring you a jar of wine."

Xiong Qi didn't move, his eyes lightly fell on the face of the aging man, "When I was young, I also thought about what it would be like for a person like you, Wei Liao, to grow old."

"Okay?" Wei Liao twisted his body uncomfortably, and silently stretched the fat around his waist with his belt.As a result, he saw that Xiong Qi chuckled just after he finished, and he immediately became angry from embarrassment. He didn't come here to let someone point out his old life.Thinking of him picking up the jar of wine and throwing it directly at Xiong Qi, "What are you laughing at? Don't you want to see what will happen to you?"

Xiong Qi naturally took the wine and hugged it, did not lift the lid, but still looked at Wei Liao with a half-smile, he said: "Wei Liao, you are old, if you are still young, I can't drink it." Drinking this jar of wine will break an arm."

"When you get old, you get old, so what?" Wei Liao raised his eyebrows, "There are already people waiting there in the Underworld, maybe they are warming up the wine and looking forward to you and me going down every day, but I don't know if they are still young. "

Xiong Qi knew that he was talking about Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, no, maybe it was the young Lu Buwei and the young Lao Ai.He smiled softly, "Wei Liao, what do you mean by living this life?"

Wei Liao looked at the man who was also aging, and recalled the high-spirited appearance back then, he couldn't help but sighed softly. "Your life is really meaningless."

Xiong Qi smiled and raised his hand to cover his face lightly, closing his eyes for a moment.He said: "Last night, I dreamed that you and I were wandering on the long street of Xianyang. The lights were like daylight. Lu Buwei was in front of me. I just called him. When I turned around, you were dragged away by the girl from Die Ji Fang. I just went to see you." Pull you, you threw my hand away, turned around and threw your head into the arms of the singer begging for mercy. Everyone on the street laughed, and Lao Ai and Wang Jian turned around and left, pretending not to know you, only I really thought that you were begging for mercy to drag you out, but you kicked me out at the gate of Diva Square."

Wei Liao narrowed his eyes, "The singers of Daqin back then were much more exquisite than the group of women who only know how to hide their faces and smile non-stop." He thought about it and said very sincerely: "They also wear a lot less."

Xiong Qi smiled helplessly and shook his head, as if he had nothing to say to an old and lewd man like Wei Liao.

Wei Liao taught Xiong Qi a serious lesson, "I told you a long time ago that you need to have fun in time when you are alive. No matter how bad it is, now when a person dies of old age in prison, he will not only dream of being kicked out of the gate by me." Scenes." He stroked his beard and said, "In any case, it's time to dream about some scenes that follow."

Xiong Qi looked at this handsome and debauched man in front of him, and suddenly felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart, half his life was absurd, he just shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Wei Liao, you don't understand."

Talking about love with Wei Liao is like talking about lovesickness with a stubborn stone. Men and women in the world only know the pain of lovesickness when they enter my lovesickness door.Xiong Qi couldn't help but think that if people had a previous life, Wei Liao must be a saint like King Zhou Gongwen, so in this life he would be free from love and vulgarity, and live a happy life without any worries.

It was rare for Wei Liao not to choke back Xiong Qi's "You don't understand", because he really didn't understand.A man and a woman who were strangers before, just happened to meet, and they fought desperately, Wei Liao couldn't figure it out.After watching Xiong Qi for a long time, luckily he suddenly remembered the purpose of coming today. "Xiong Qi."

Xiong Qi hugged the jar of wine, looked up at Wei Liao, he watched the man stretch out his withered and wrinkled hands, slowly took out a thing from his sleeve, and gently placed it in front of him.

It was a bloody bead flower.

Xiong Qi's eyes finally fluctuated, and he heard the man beside his ear say: "Xiong Qi, Zhao Su died two days ago."

The tone of Wei Liao's words was the same as that of the previous chat, it was so common for a person like him to spit out life, old age, sickness and death.

After a long time, Xiong Qi slowly stretched out his hand, picked up the rusty bead flower from the wet ground, and slowly, slowly, wiped off the blood on it with his sleeve.

Looking at the man's appearance, Wei Liao got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said softly to Xiong Qi, "Congratulations." After leaving this sentence, he turned around and walked out tremblingly. It's useless to talk too much after leaving the cell, the only thing this man in the cell is thinking at the moment is to be alone for a while.

With the sound of locking, the cell was deserted again.

Xiong Qi held the pearl flower, what he wanted to say in his life, what he never said, what he wanted to ask, what he never asked, and those insignificant loves and hates, seemed to dissipate in an instant with the fading smile of the woman in front of him. .From this life until now, I just know what is real, and the big dream has come to nothing.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, he stretched out his hand and took out the jar of plum wine from his pocket. After lifting the lid, he raised his hand and slowly poured the sake on the ground.

He laughed softly: "Great Qin Changping Lord Xiong Qi, here is a cup of respect to your Great Qin Empress Dowager Zhao Su, Zhao Su, Xiong Qi, thank you for making this life a reality."

He raised his head and drank the half jar of sake in one gulp, and then a huge shattering sound of the wine jar sounded in the cell.The wine and the shards of the wine jar splashed, Xiong Qi sat alone in the corner, holding a bead flower in his palm with blood oozing.

……

One month later, a Chu army suddenly appeared from Yingchen on the border of Qin and Chu, and surrounded the 20 Qin army led by Li Xin directly from the rear.

General Xiang Yan of the State of Yan seized the opportunity and directly cooperated with the Chu army with swords, and slaughtered 20 soldiers and horses of Li Xin in the first battle, creating the biggest defeat of Qin in the last days of the Warring States Period.

When the news came, Xianyang was shocked.

The person who led the Chu army was from the direct bloodline of the Great Chu royal family, the Western Chu royal family who conferred the title of Great Qin Changping Lord. Mi was surnamed Xiong, and his first name was Qi.

The 20 Qin soldiers led by Li Xin were wiped out overnight.

When Yu Zishi heard the news, he made a serious mistake with the pen in his hand, ruining a good Qin Song.He didn't expect that Xiong Qi didn't die, and he didn't expect that Xiong Qi could escape from Xianyang.Now that man has really turned against him, and killed 20 people in Qin State.

When he heard the edict and entered the palace, he bumped into Li Si with the same serious expression.It seemed that the other party had just heard the news, and even their clothes were in disarray. They looked at each other for a moment, and stepped into Xianyang Palace at the same time.

Ying Zheng was sitting on top of the main hall, watching the visitor coldly.

The monarch and ministers were silent for a long time, Yu Zishi stepped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I will go to Pinyang personally, and ask Wang Jian to lead the army to attack Chu." After that day, Wang Jian left Xianyang due to illness and returned to his hometown in Pinyang , plowing and plowing the fields alone at home, enjoying himself, with a leisurely look of honorable retirement.

To be honest, it was really difficult for an emperor to ask Ying Zheng to admit his mistake and invite Wang Jian out of the mountain. After all, it was a matter of face.Yu Zishi was thinking about how to persuade him, and then he heard Ying Zheng get up and said calmly: "Okay, let's go, I will go there in a few days."

Yu Zishi suddenly raised his head to look at Ying Zheng, with a flash of admiration in his heart.This straightforward attitude of admitting mistakes, this kind of executive ability to apologize as soon as he said it, made him feel hot for a moment. As the order of the Daqin CRRC, he immediately said: "I will prepare immediately."

After speaking, he turned around and retreated neatly.

After Yu Zishi withdrew, only Ying Zheng and Li Si were left in the hall. The king looked at each other in silence. After a long time, Ying Zheng's expression was gloomy, and he said softly, "Xiong Qi, you shouldn't have stayed."

Li Si sighed, put on his sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, people's hearts are unpredictable."

……

Yingzheng took the express train to Pinyang in person on the same day, and when he arrived, it was the night of Xinghe, the moon and the clear autumn.The old general was lying in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, dressed in a simple blue-gray cloth, with a small desk by his hand.On the table are a pot of brewed plum wine, a plate of cooked wild vegetables, and a pair of bamboo chopsticks.

"General." Ying Zheng sat down in front of him, preventing Wang Jian from standing up and saluting. "The humiliation on the border of Chu State is my fault."

"Your Majesty is serious. Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists." Wang Jian stood up slightly, looked at the emperor and comforted him softly.

Ying Zheng looked at the gentle man in the commoner clothes, and suddenly waved his sleeves and bowed his hands, "General, 20 Qin people died in Chu, and it was all the fault of Ying Zheng alone. Now I heard that the Chu army is approaching west day by day, and even more It's my fault alone. If this battle goes into the Qin State's hundreds of years of ancestral temples, Yingzheng is the unforgivable sinner of the Qin royal family. The 50-year-old minister's heart, I have failed the general, and I have failed the 20 Qin people."

"Your Majesty..." Wang Jian was about to say something when Ying Zheng interrupted him.

"General, I heard that General Xiang Yan of Chu is marching westward. All this is my fault, but the people of Qin are innocent. The young soldiers who died fighting for Qin in the past ten years are innocent. Now, the general really has the heart to give up on me. Have you given up on these millions of Qin people?"

Yingzheng bowed his head heavily and saluted. The emperor bowed his waist, not for the queen of the emperor, but for the common people.

Wang Jian was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is getting old and weak, and he is becoming more and more dizzy. I am afraid that he will not be able to take on important responsibilities. I hope His Majesty will choose another good general."

"General..."

Ying Zheng was still about to speak, but Wang Jian interrupted him, and said slowly: "If your majesty has to use me as a last resort, it must be 60."

Ying Zheng fell into a brief silence.A large part of the reason why he chose Li Xin in the first place was because it was really difficult to gather 60 troops.If before Li Xin's defeat, the soldiers and horses guarding the Three Jins, as well as the soldiers and horses of Qin State guarding Hurong in the northwest, plus the troops withdrawn from the State of Yan, they could barely make up 60 yuan by drawing more than half of them.But now that Li Xin is defeated, 20 people have died and another 60 people have to be recruited.

The military power of a country is entrusted to one person. This is a huge gamble of Qin since the founding of the country 600 years ago.

Win, win the world.

If you lose, the painstaking efforts of dozens of Qin kings and generations of Qin since the founding of the country will be destroyed in one go.

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian, and couldn't help but tremble slightly. Is this man believable? 60 elite soldiers and horses are more than enough to found a country and establish a clan.

Li Si said that people's hearts are unpredictable, and Zhao Gao said that scholars die for their confidants.Li Si said that the world is still profitable, and Zhao Gao said that the country's scholars are unparalleled.To choose, or not to choose? 60, to give or not to give?

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Ying Zheng slowly put his hands on the tables, picked up the jug and poured Wang Jian a glass of wine, and one of them poured himself a glass.

"General, let's go eastward, stepping on Kyushu for me, breaking rivers and mountains, cherishing all the way."

He raised his hand to raise his glass and drank it down.

On the day Wang Jian set off for the expedition, Qin Wang Yingzheng personally went to Bashang to see him off. On that day, Wang Jian wore a silver armor and a red robe and smiled and begged Qin King for fertile land, beautiful houses, and gardens. Asked for Wang Ben's share.Seeing that the posture is to ask for a future generations to be rich and honored, the greedy and cunning look on his face is unexpectedly childish.

Standing in the farewell team, Yu Zishi saw the veteran holding a gun and leading a horse from a distance, standing in front of hundreds of thousands of eagerly awaited Qin soldiers, chatting with King Qin Yingzheng, completely looking like a hooligan.For the first time in his life, Yu Zishi realized that this famous general of the Warring States Period who had always been decisive and decisive was indeed Wang Ben's biological father.Both father and son have some military and bandit temperament in their bones.

Facing Wang Jian's aggressive demands for rewards, Ying Zheng smiled and agreed one by one.

The old general Xifeng Shouma, in autumn, the old farmers outside Xianyang City were harvesting the last crop of grain. The old general led 60 young people from the state of Qin to fight eastward.

Many years later, when Yu Zishi recalled this day, he only remembered that Bashang was so windy that day.

In the last battle of the Warring States period, the tiger wolf Great Qin vs. the barbarians of Western Chu, Qin's old famous general Wang Jian vs Chu's famous general Xiang Yan, the number of people participating in the battle was as many as one million. Fighting all the way to the gate of the Qi State, the civil and military people of the Qi State, including the King of Qi, dared not say a word, and the eyes of the world were all focused on this battle.

Wang Jian fought this battle with difficulty, but he was extremely steady. He was calm and unhurried at every step. When he made a move, he was a true veteran of the Warring States Period.

This was a protracted battle, and Wang Jian took time between battles to write letters to King Qin to ask for rewards.Finally, it came to winter in a blink of an eye, and Wang Jian's letter asking for a reward didn't bring him anything cheap, but he asked for a red makeup.

The eldest princess Hua Yang of the Great Qin asked to marry the Marquis of the Great Qin Wucheng Wang Jian, and the King of Qin Yingzheng agreed.

On that day, Princess Da Qin, who took off her palace clothes and put on a dark black thorn red wedding dress, personally drove the wedding car, chasing veteran Wang Jian's chariot to the battlefield.Dressed in red makeup and military attire, the beautiful appearance of Hua Yang, the eldest princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, immediately slammed her spear at Shouchun, the capital of Chu, on that day.

Who dares to say that there are no more women in Daqin?

In the spring of heavy snowfall, the [-]-year-old Princess Hua Yang of the Qin Kingdom raised her hand to pick off the gold hairpin and pearl crown, and took off her wedding dress to wear a military uniform.

The city of Shouchun was broken, King Chu was captured, and the old and dazed Wang Jian was stunned to find Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of Qin, who was chasing after him among a bunch of blood-soaked elders.He squinted his eyes and searched in the crowd for a long time, but when he turned around, he saw the unruly and loyal Princess Da Qin sitting on the head of Shouchun City, carrying the Da Qin Lie Lie Wang Banner.

On the dilapidated city wall of Chu State, the girl was covered in blood all over her face.

That year, scarlet peach makeup became popular in Xianyang.

At the same time, in the deep winter of that year, after the capital of Chu State was broken, Chu General Xiang Yan led his army to retreat eastward.Xiong Qi, a direct descendant of the great Chu royal family, supported his troops and established himself as the king of Chu. He occupied Huainan with Chu general Xiang Yan and his ministers and led the army to fight against Qin.

In the spring of the following year, Qin generals Wang Jian and Meng Wu led their troops deep into Huainan. The strength of Qin and Chu was very different, and they fought to the death in Jiangnan.

Xiong Qi, the last king of Chu in the Warring States Period, died in a bloody battle in Huainan, and Xiang Yan, a general of Chu, was defeated and committed suicide.

That year, Chu, a powerful country that had ruled the world for hundreds of years, died.

King Qin Yingzheng ordered that the state of Chu be established as Chu County, and soon Jiujiang County, Changhe County and Kuaiji County were divided into Jiujiang County, Changhe County, and Kuaiji County.

Since then, there has been no Great Qin Changping Lord in the world, only Xiong Qi, the last king of Jingchu.

This volume of blood-stained mountains and rivers finally turned into a beautiful appearance.

……

Yu Zishi walked into Xianyang Palace alone, it was just the beginning of night, and the Xianyang Palace was filled with darkness, the emperor was sitting in front of the desk, with a huge roll of map spread out in front of him.

"Join Your Majesty." Yu Zishi saluted.

"Get up."

Yu Zishi looked up at Ying Zheng, who was looking at him quietly with a pair of dark eyes, looking carefully.Yu Zishi didn't know what Ying Zheng was going to talk to him about, so he met Ying Zheng's gaze with openness in his eyes.

"I want to send you out of Xianyang." After an unknown amount of time, Ying Zheng finally said slowly, "Go find someone, find something."

"Who? What?" Yu Zishi asked calmly.

"He's a blind man. You should know him. He used to be Lu Buwei's disciple." Ying Zheng stretched out his hand against the roll of mountains and rivers map, his voice a little low.

Yu Zishi frowned very lightly, "Wei Cho?" Looking at Ying Zheng's gaze, he already had an answer in his heart, and after a moment he asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Nearly 400 years ago, King Zhuang of Chu aspired to the Central Plains, and wanted to seize the fortune of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. Hundreds of years later, Jiuding was exiled in the flames of war, and it is still missing. Some people say it sank in the Milky Way, and some say it followed A certain king was buried, and some people say that the Jiuding has been destroyed." Ying Zheng glanced at Yu Zishi lightly, "Zhao Gao, find it."

The book says: those who win the nine tripods win the world.

Yu Zishi took a deep look at Yingzheng, and bowed calmly, "I accept orders."

The world can be chaotic, the world can be prosperous, the world can be changed for 800 years, and the world can be created for hundreds of years.In history, the death of Qin Dynasty II was exhausted in the words of Wei Cho.Now that the unification of the world is the last step left for Qi, the prosperity of Yingzheng is almost within reach, and it is time to consider the theory of luck.Besides, he had to go to find Wei Tiao, Yu Zishi secretly said, others really couldn't find Wei Tiao that crazy blind man, and they wouldn't bother to deal with him if they found Wei Tiao.

Ying Zheng warned: "Don't make too much noise, just go in these two days."

Yu Zishi nodded and agreed, "In three days, I'll finish the matter at hand."

"Hmm." Ying Zheng looked at Yu Zishi and said softly, "I entrust you with the matter of Jiuding. If you need anything, just tell me before you go."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Yu Zishi held up his sleeves and smiled gently, "I will fulfill my mission."

"Let's go back and prepare." Ying Zheng smiled, "Go back and prepare well. If you are short of money and people, you can ask me in private for a few days."

Yu Zishi nodded, saluted and took his leave. When he was about to leave the palace, he suddenly heard the emperor calling him, and he looked back.

The emperor suddenly smiled softly, "Be careful along the way, take care of yourself first."

Yu Zishi smiled back for a moment, nodded, turned and walked out of Xianyang Palace.

When he reached the empty place on the palace road, Yu Zishi stood still and fell into deep thought. The matter of looking for Jiuding should not be too noisy. If it was left in the past, he would pack up and go on the road alone, but this time he still has to look for Wei. raise.Wei Chou hadn't heard from Ye Family Sword Tomb for ten years, so who knows what's going on in that sword tomb.

The Ye family is an existence separated from the Seven Kingdoms, and the Ye family's Sword Tomb is an extremely mysterious force in the Jianghu. Don't act rashly. Who should you take?Yu Zishi fell into deep thought, logically he should take Li Jisheng with him, but Li Jisheng has never been to Jianzhong and doesn't know the situation.The only person he knows who has been to the sword mound is Gao Jianli. Gao Goutu pulled out the Tai'a sword from the sword mound, but Gao Jianli's origin and purpose are unknown, and it is not safe to use it.Sima Yu was still injured, and there seemed to be none of the few kendo practitioners around Yu Zishi available?

Yu Zishi didn't think that his own strength was enough to break into the sword mound by himself. A scholar is crazy, but Yu Zishi still has the most basic self-knowledge.

So, with whom?
