[Qin] Qin Shi

It wasn't until someone led the way that Ying Zheng realized that the stockade was not only located at the foot of the mountain, but even a part of the mountain was already within their range of activities: "Cross this mountain and walk a few miles, and you will be the pass city of Zhao State." Right?" Ying Zheng weighed his position in his heart, and then thought of the chaotic relationship between King Shan and General Shu, and seemed to realize something.

Bai Shu didn't know what Ying Zheng had come up with, he stopped in front of a small dilapidated house: "There is a difficult old man here, if you can persuade him to leave here, then don't say yes The method of forging steel, even if I go to Xianyang with you, it is not impossible to agree to you."

The system that knew everything snorted in the background sound, but Ying Zheng, who knew nothing about Bai Shu's mentality, thought it was a test and challenge for him: "Okay," he looked at Bai Shu, With firm eyes, "If I can persuade this old gentleman, you will go to Qin with me."

"The matter hasn't been done yet, but you're thinking in the long term." Bai Shu pointed at the door, her tone and actions couldn't be more perfunctory, "You persuade this stubborn old man first, and then come and negotiate terms with me." After he finished speaking, the closed door not far away opened a small crack with a creak, and a head popped out of the gap.

"General?" asked Bai Shu in a daze.

"Your general is not here today, I brought his guests over to see that stubborn old man." Bai Shu answered the words naturally and frankly, as if the other party was really just asking why the person who came was not 'General Shu', "These two They are guests from Qin State, when that old stubborn chases them away, remember to lead them down the mountain."

Bai Shu expressed that he didn't intend to accompany him here, and in this explanation, no matter whether it was the attendant who lived on the mountain and knew nothing about the situation in the stockade, or Meng Tian and Ying Zheng who paid attention to Bai Shu, both The arrangement was clear: "Blow the whistle if there is something to do, there are patrols here."

Invisibly warned Ying Zheng and Meng Tian here: "Okay." Seeing that the person who wanted to come in was not Bai Shu, the attendant pushed the door open completely, "Master is still angry." The address to Bai Shu was omitted, The attendant explained the situation, "Master must be even angrier if you bring guests here at this time."

"Then it has nothing to do with me," Bai Shu said gloatingly, "Anyway, I'm not the one who asks him today." Looking at Meng Tian and Ying Zheng meaningfully, the attendant understood immediately and smiled He got out of the way, waited for the guests to enter, nodded to Bai Shu, and locked the door shut.

Ying Zheng and Meng Tian who had just entered the door were puzzled by this appearance of guarding against thieves, but the attendants, contrary to the patience and politeness they had when talking to Bai Shu at the door, strode ahead to lead the way, not even giving Ying Zheng and Meng Tian a chance to speak. .

So much so that it wasn't until the other party pushed open the door, until the sound of cursing came out from the room, that the two of them saw the person the King of the Mountain wanted them to see, a bald, one-armed middle-aged man—in this sticky body. In the era of skin-taught parents', a man can be regarded as a maverick

Perhaps it was because the lights in the room were dim, until the attendant pushed him away, the middle-aged man recovered from the silent sitting with his eyes blank.Turning around and seeing the two figures, the originally calm and peaceful face changed instantly: "What crap?!" Facing the guest, the bald middle-aged man cursed, "You still have the face to see me?!"

"Master!" The man had to raise his voice, overpowering the voice of the middle-aged man, "This is not the general!"

These words seemed to have some effect. The man squinted his eyes and wanted to take a few steps forward. After seeing the person clearly, he snorted: "I misidentified the person." He waved to the two of them without embarrassment at all, "Come here Sit down, it's an apology."

"But they were sent by the general." The apprentice added in a loud voice, so Ying Zheng and Meng Tian were lucky enough to see the second change of face.

"Get out, get away from everything related to that kid, I don't want to see anything related to him now-you want to get out too, don't you actually let that bastard in here !" Kicked away the stool that was supposed to be for the guests, pointed at his apprentice's nose and started cursing.

"Come on, master." The apprentice didn't care, as if he was competing with his master, "you have to ask to go back to the general in the end. How many years has it been? Is it interesting to argue with him like this?"

"So you are not a craftsman," the man said more and more angrily, "As a craftsman, what you need is to study and polish. If there are so many heretics that surpass your craftsmanship, you have to fight him to the end! Are you Didn't you roll my eyes?!" At this moment, the man's eyes became more useful.

"It's nothing, Master, the general wants them to see you." Pointing to the guests who were left aside by them, "If you don't see me, I will drive them out."

Seeing the soft-spoken, elegant and soft-spoken princes and nobles in Xianyang and Handan, they suddenly faced these two barbarians who raised their voices higher and higher, and occasionally broke their voices, still in a narrow and echoing voice. In the shabby house, Ying Zheng's ears had begun to faintly ring.

Meng Tian adapted well to this, after all, if he didn't raise his voice on the battlefield, he couldn't cover up the sound of killing and the collision of weapons to win the battle.Besides, he saw many people of all kinds in the army. The iron tools and bronze utensils that can be seen everywhere in this room, as well as the appearance of men struggling to speak and listen to others, gave him a very bold guess.

Hearing his apprentice mentioning them suddenly, Meng Tian quickly stepped forward and bowed to the man: "Isn't it us who bothered Mr., it's just that this junior is fortunate enough to see the steel forged by Mr. with his own eyes, so he yearns for Mr. Anyway, I hope to see Mr.

Meng Tian would still do such an opening ceremony, and Ying Zheng saw Meng Tian's cautious attitude and these hints, so he came to his senses and quickly echoed the situation: "Since I saw Mr. The steel knife, the younger generation will be concerned about it. If the master's skills can be spread to the world, it will benefit the country and the people and make the country invincible. And the name of the master will be spread widely and admired by future generations."

"Which country will benefit, which people will benefit, and which ruined place will not be defeated?" The bald man sneered, completely ignoring Ying Zheng's flattery. , "You guys said it nicely, so you just saw some reward and licked your face and went up to kneel!"

Meng Tian looked at Ying Zheng, waiting for the leader to make up his mind, but Ying Zheng didn't know what was going on, and looked at the middle-aged blacksmith's apprentice tentatively: "But we haven't seen the general from the beginning to the end. , it was because of this opportunity that I discussed with the King of the Mountain, so I was able to..."

"What's the difference?!" The old blacksmith, who knew the formula that the general is equal to the king of the mountain, almost pointed at the noses of the two, "Both of them are deceptive things!"

The apprentice rolled his eyes again, remembering that these two were guests brought by their general himself, and the general always calculated that his master would always return with a full load and never targeted him for no reason. Since they were sent in person, they must be ugly If there is anything special about the two of them, Master will give them preferential treatment.

"Master received the reward from Handan in General Qi." Even if the mountain is closed again, such a small circle will know the news in a few days in the evening, not to mention that they have only been on the mountain for a few days. "If you two It’s also because of this matter, so I can really invite you back.”

There is a lot of news revealed in these words, but in order not to be kicked out by the blacksmith, Ying Zheng didn't bother to think and explore carefully: "Of course not," he hurriedly added following his guess, " We came from Xianyang, and this trip is for the king."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man finally had the idea to continue. He looked up and down the visitor: "From the Qin State?" He hummed with great interest, and most of his anger finally subsided, "For that kid, it's okay." Have a little conscience, okay, Qin Guo is good, Qin Guo is also good."

He stood up staggeringly, although he was still roaring at the top of his voice, but he was a little less angry and dissatisfied than at the beginning: "It's good for Qin, and it's good for Qin." A devout believer, his voice was gradually stained with pleasure and joy, "This room is cramped and dark, let's go out and talk."

Ying Zheng and Meng Tian couldn't believe such a contrasting treatment after their identities were revealed.Because of the Battle of Changping many years ago, they have come all the way, the hatred of Zhao State for Qin State, and the resistance of Zhao people to Qin people, they are all deeply touched.

But such affirmation turned into doubts in the transformation of the old blacksmith.But at this time, they naturally wouldn't question the reason for such a change, they just followed the man's intention and walked out.

It wasn't until they stood under the sun that they realized that the bald man's right arm was empty: "If you want to see it, just look at it neatly," the man snorted when he felt the hidden temptation of the two, "I know why the bald man is shaved." Have you lost your hair, because only sinners have short hair—this old man remembers."

It seems that this kind of time is not suitable for talking. Ying Zheng and Meng Tian didn't have any reason, and they couldn't be sure whether this kind of hatred came to the people of Qin, or whether it was directed at the people of Zhao as they guessed.

"You guys are more likable than that kid." Sensing the reason for the two's silence, or maybe because of their deafness, the man said to himself, "That kid..." seemed to say When it came to some unpleasant topic, the man clicked his tongue.

His voice dropped, but even if it was a lowered voice, it was still a volume that could be heard clearly by others: "Why did this arm disappear, and how did those things get lost, the old man wants a little bit It's engraved on your body—then one day, you'll get it back one by one."

"Why did that kid bring you here? The old man knows well. The old man is not at all interested in any messy transactions between you, but there is one thing—" He looked at Ying Zheng, "The old man is leaving with you. Can you fulfill the old man's wish?"

"Don't continue to deny it yet." Seeing Ying Zheng's surprised gaze, the man glanced at Meng Tian in disgust, "The sour smell on your body is worse than that of a brat. If you are not in charge, you can still be the one behind you." Can't you be a fool?"

When people get old, they see more things, and experience alone is enough for them.What's more, when he was young, he also had face in Handan, he had seen many princes and nobles, even the current king of Qin and his father, he had also seen them all.

Seeing the man's affirmation, Ying Zheng glanced across the man's bald, even scarred head: "So, what do you want?"

"I want Zhao Yan's life," the man said with burning eyes, "Can you afford it?"

The author has something to say: the one-armed blacksmith old widower who appeared in Chapter 10 and Chapter 21, well, I know you must have forgotten him.Although they are in Liujia Village, they actually have a name and a surname, Mrs. Xu Ming~ (to explain to the little angels who don’t know, Mrs. Xu is the maker of the ‘thorn’ that Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, in other words The dagger that stabbed Brother Zheng. Besides, he is really a man!)

People in the Warring States Period generally married at the age of 30 or 50, and they were young and strong in their [-]s and [-]s, because they died in their [-]s, so their definition of old is probably around forty.So when our people reach middle age, they are their old men~
