Chaotic Qin

Chapter 78 Deception

It's no wonder that King Qin was ecstatic, it's because he is getting older, and in recent years he has gradually felt lack of energy, and began to worry that his life is approaching.

There is no king who does not want his merits to shine in the annals of history, and expanding the territory is the greatest achievement of the king.

Although Bai Qi spent a lot of manpower and material resources this time, his achievements were enough to make King Qin ignore all the process.

The results are so comforting!

Bai Qi not only completed the basic goal of destroying the Western Zhou Dynasty, but also defeated the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, making him terrified of Qin.

Seeing such a result, King Qin had no other thoughts except to be happy.

From the beginning of this war, Bai Qi has seen the result of victory.

If Wei Wuji hadn't been born in the middle, trying to turn the tide, and then Zheng Anping accidentally lost most of the Qin army's food and grass, Bai Qi would not have dragged the battlefield for two full years to complete.

Therefore, in the face of King Qin's praise, Bai Qi couldn't get excited at all.

Bai Qi knelt down in front of the King of Qin again, and said with a feeling of almost guilt: "Thanks to the lord for not giving up. Bai Qi used people improperly, so that all the food and grass of our army were burned. Please forgive me."

Bai Qi's words are definitely not pretentious.

Although the other six countries don't know the domestic situation of Qin, as the coach who often goes to battle, Bai Qi knows as well as Fan Sui and others that Qin must have no food at this time.

It is self-evident what impact the lack of food reserves will have on countries that depend on the sky at this time.

Although the past two years of Qin State cannot be said to have been good years, there have been no major disasters, which can almost be called God's blessing.

Therefore, Bai Qi was able to defeat the present without any worries, and returned to Qin with a big victory.

If God doesn't show face, he can only make a quick decision, and even suggest that King Qin send envoys to talk with Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu.

But no matter what Bai Qi thinks, King Qin's thinking direction will definitely not be the same as that of a general.

For King Qin, as long as it is a victory, it is worth celebrating!

He was not angry at all, and pulled Bai Qi up from the ground forcefully again, and said with a big smile, "Wu An Jun, what is your fault? It's too late for me to reward you. This big victory, I must celebrate it for a long time." months."

With King Qin's words, Bai Qi no longer entangled in this matter.

He got up directly, followed the king of Qin to announce the rewards to many soldiers, and walked into Xianyang Palace.

The whole Qin country fell into this carnival in an instant, and Qin Zichu certainly couldn't stay out of it, and drove Qin Zichu back to the courtyard where he had lived for three years in a carriage.

Qin Zichu thought that every time he saw Ying Zheng in Mrs. Huayang's yard for the past two years, he must have moved there long ago.

But he didn't expect that when he returned to the old land, the owner had never been lost here.

Not a single plant or tree in the courtyard has changed in any way.

Ying Zheng, who was over five years old, was standing under the tree in a grand costume, watching him quietly.

The moment Qin Zichu appeared in his eyes, Ying Zheng's tense face instantly relaxed, the corners of his mouth curved into a very shallow arc, and his whole body softened.

"Zi Chu, you're back." Ying Zheng's body shook slightly, but he immediately straightened his body and stood firmly on the spot.

There was a touch of anxiety and eagerness hidden deep in Ying Zheng's eyes, but the smile on his face faded when he found Qin Zichu stopped about five steps in front of him, refusing to move any further.

The anxiety in his eyes was also extinguished by Qin Zichu's indifferent actions.

Qin Zichu looked at the boy in front of him hesitantly, with a troubled expression on his face.

Ying Zheng's height seems to be in a period of vigorous growth forever.

Although he would "voluntarily" come to see him every ten days during the two years according to Ying Zheng's order, with Mrs. Huayang mediating, the meeting in just half an hour did not require much effort from Qin Zichu.

He only needs to deal with it with "hmm, ahh", and then say "Ah Zheng must pay attention to his body" or "Don't work too hard, pay attention to his body", then he can wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, turn around and leave Xianyang Palace.

When the two of them met in front of Mrs. Huayang, they were always sitting. Qin Zichu didn't even have an idea of ​​Ying Zheng's exact height.

Suddenly facing the boy who had grown up a lot, Qin Zichu didn't know what to say at all.

Because every word he wanted to say would be unfamiliar, which completely revealed that he hadn't paid any heartfelt care for Ying Zheng in the past two years.

"Well, I'm back." Qin Zichu responded indiscriminately, then lowered his head and fell silent again.

Ying Zhengguang's palms under his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and he raised the corners of his mouth into a smile.

As if he didn't care about Qin Zichu's unfamiliarity at all, he took the initiative to step forward, raised his head and met his eyes gently.

Ying Zheng smiled shyly, took Qin Zichu's hand, and explained softly the reason why he still lives in this yard: "I moved to Mrs. Huayang's yard and couldn't sleep, she said I was too picky , I’m so good at recognizing the bed, I decided to move back here. It’s really nice here, and I can sleep soundly every day.”

Ying Zheng paused at this point, looked straight at Qin Zichu and said in a curious tone, "Where is Zichu? Can you sleep peacefully outside?"

Cold sweat dripped down Qin Zichu's forehead in an instant.

No one knows Ying Zheng's nature better than him.

Now that Ying Zheng is asking such a question, the meaning in his words is definitely not "I know you are doing well, so I feel at ease", which is full of tender feelings.

If Qin Zichu was to translate it, it must be "You dare to sleep without me being by your side, you are quite courageous".

Σ(っ°Д°;)っthreat!This is the threat of Chiguoguo!

If I sleep here tonight, will I be dismembered by five horses and turned into a ghost floating in the yard!

Qin Zichu sensed Ying Zheng's dissatisfaction very sensitively.

He immediately lowered his head and said without hesitation: "Since Ah Zheng reminded me that many people wanted to assassinate me, I couldn't sleep well every day, and always woke up in the middle of the night for no reason. Then I will miss Ah Zheng very much, you When I was a child, it was very warm and heavy to be held in my arms. At that time, my heart was always very peaceful."

No one does not like warm memories.

When Qin Zichu mentioned their most intimate life, the ice in Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly shattered and melted into a pool of spring water.

He rubbed Qin Zichu's slender wrist which seemed to never grow flesh, and said softly, "Then I will move back to the dormitory today and sleep with you."

...Move back to the dormitory?

... move back?

... back?

Σ(っ°Д°;)っDid I say something stupid!

It turns out that the first emperor's plan was to sleep separately from me!

I regret it now, okay?

A look of surprise and resistance flashed across Qin Zichu's face, but it was enough for Ying Zheng to accurately capture the true emotions in his heart, and found that what Qin Zichu said before was deliberately said to coax him.

The anger suppressed in Ying Zheng's heart was instantly ignited by Qin Zichu.

He grabbed Qin Zichu's wrist, held it for a while, then suddenly threw it away, flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away from the yard.

The anger on Ying Zheng's face could not be concealed at all.

Qin Zichu stood quietly and watched Ying Zheng leave, with a mixture of panic and relaxation in his eyes.

He couldn't tell whether he should be thankful that he had completely hurt Ying Zheng's heart, and that it would be better for Ying Zheng to wake up from his vain fantasies, or whether he should start worrying about his own life.

Qin Zichu stood there for a while, and then felt that he was stupid.

He has already finished the matter, so if Ying Zheng plans to retaliate against him in the future, will he just watch helplessly that he won't even be able to fight back!

He is Ying Zheng's nominal father, as long as he doesn't die, it will take a minute to clean up Ying Zheng.

It is unfounded to worry about the "future" issue now.

Qin Zichu turned around, gave instructions to the attendants who were running around with him, then turned and went directly to the study.

Although he can't claim to have three thousand diners now, he still needs to support several hundred people.

This group of disciples are good at different things. Although most of them are articulate people, there are also some talents with rare and eccentric skills.

Qin Zichu has never been a person who is used to giving orders. One of the problems of science and engineering students is that everything gets narrower and narrower. This shortcoming is especially obvious on him.

In other words, Qin Zichu is not a person who is good at management.

Qin Zichu spent more energy and time in learning to be a leader than being a deputy beside the King of Qin, because he needed to find out what to do and what not to do in this position.

Architecture is sometimes far more difficult than implementation.

Qin Zichu was tormented by the "management" problem. Fortunately, he was not so unlucky that he couldn't even gather talents around him.

Although none of the counselors was as compatible as Zhang Li and himself, with Ying Ran's assistance, everything could go on.

But Qin Zichu still couldn't forget to find an excellent counselor to help him make suggestions and solve his troubles.

Qin Zichu returned to the door of the study and asked directly: "Who is the person who is going to see me today? Let him in."

Of course, people who seek to see Qin Zichu cannot be brought into Xianyang Palace casually, but Qin Zichu personally set the rules at the beginning, receiving one person who came to visit him every day.

He couldn't break his promise, so he simply entrusted him to the guards, asked them to check, and after making sure that he was not carrying a sharp weapon, he brought him into the palace together.

The servant knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "The slave has already led him into the study."

Qin Zichu nodded and walked in.

"Cough cough cough cough cough!!" The intense coughing sound entered Qin Zichu's ears immediately, and before he entered the room, he already guessed that the person who came to see him was probably a patient in his eyes.

"Is your body okay? Do you need to take a rest first?" Facing outsiders, Qin Zichu automatically entered the state of being a gentle and respectful corporal, acting impeccably.

Unexpectedly, the person waiting for him to receive him was still on the ground, feebly raising his hand to wipe away the dirt that didn't exist at the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't turn around to face him in a hurry.

After wiping the corners of his mouth, the visitor finally turned around and faced Qin Zichu.

He kowtowed and said in a low voice: "The villain Ganzi is the son of Gan Mao, the fugitive minister of Qin. My father has passed away, and the villain hopes to let him return to his roots after death, so he dragged his last breath back to Qin. It's really too bad, instead, all the wealth is thrown on the villain. I heard that the young master hopes to recruit wise men, and even though Ganzi is not talented, he also hopes to see the young master."

Ganzi's words sounded very nice, he was very clear about his background and current situation, but Qin Zichu looked at Ganzi and felt helpless.

He felt that there must be a "sick and weak teammate" summoning order by his side, otherwise, why would he have a Yingran who is constantly sick all day long, and he can see Ganzi who is better than him in terms of sickness?

Qin Zichu almost thought that Ganzi was here to extort money from hospice care.

Seeing that Qin Zichu's brows were frowning, Ganzi opened the corner of his mouth to show a faint smile, and calmly laughed at himself: "Ganzi won't die in three to five years, so you should worry too much."

As a result, as soon as Ganzi said this, Qin Zichu immediately knelt down for him.

Ganzi is really a smart man!

His grasp of the human heart is extraordinary.

Qin Zichu immediately corrected his attitude, kowtowed while sitting in front of him, and said guiltily: "Zichu is rude, he has slighted sir, please be magnanimous, sir, and don't argue with Zichu."

The purpose of Ganzi's coming to meet Qin Zichu is to become his retainer and take care of his son.

Therefore, Ganzi showed an unfathomable appearance, and instead of talking about it, he said bluntly: "Although Mr. Chu is trusted by the king, he is not favored by the prince. Even if Mrs. Huayang is honored in front of the prince The favor is still there, but she is already a beauty. The crown prince is serious, Mrs. Huayang will lose the ability to protect the son sooner or later. The son is out of the palace this time to recruit the world's sages, except that he has been under the control of Zhao Guo for many years and has no cronies of his own. , I’m afraid it’s also to rely on his virtuous name to force the crown prince to give up his idea of ​​abolishing his son.”

In just a few words, Ganzi has thoroughly pointed out the predicament that Qin Zichu has been unable to get rid of.

As he spoke, he coughed a few times, and Ganzi's young son immediately brought warm water to Ganzi's lips for him to drink.

Ganzi smiled lightly, touched the top of his son's head, and swallowed the warm water with his palm.

Immediately, Ganzi continued: "If the son wants to be famous in the world, he must do something that can be praised by all the people of the Qin State-it must expand the territory, or let the people not fear natural disasters. The rain is not abundant this spring, and the son thinks that digging Canal, how about building a huge canal that can solve the water consumption for farming in the Guanzhong area?"

This idea coincided with Qin Zichu's!

It has been a long time since Qin Zichu looked at the land without rivers in the Guanzhong feature film that was not pleasing to his eyes!

His eyes lit up instantly, he knelt down in front of Ganzi, and said more politely and respectfully, "Please teach me, sir."

Ganzi coughed again uncontrollably, leaving little blood between the fingers covering his lips.

After he wiped the corners of his mouth, his voice became weaker: "The Daqin Guanzhong Plain is hundreds of miles from east to west and tens of miles from north to south, but it is slightly higher in the northwest and slightly lower in the southeast. The Jing River flows out of the mountains in the north and goes behind Liquan , directly into the Guanzhong Plain, without intersecting with the Luoshui River on the east side. If a capable person can use this terrain to dig canals, divert Jingshui to the west, Luoshui to the east, and divert water from the northwest to the southeast, then it will be possible. It can alleviate the farmers' concerns about drought in spring plowing to the greatest extent, and there is no need for irrigation."

When Ganzi said this, he stopped his voice, looked up at Qin Zichu, and finally expressed his purpose.

He clearly knew that Qin Zichu didn't have any capable people to build rivers and canals, so he deliberately said: "If this matter is completed, it will be a great achievement for thousands of years. I just don't know if there are such talents in Zichu's subordinates."

Qin Zichu was about to burst into flames!

He said directly, "I can do it myself."

This answer is absolutely different from what Ganzi imagined!

Ganzi knew clearly that King Qin's grandson Chu was a waste who couldn't even read all the characters. Even if Ganzi wanted to take the opportunity to stay, he still felt that what Zichu said was too shameless.

Ganzi's cough stopped instantly, and he stared at Qin Zichu with disbelief.

After a long time, Ganzi blushed from coughing and said angrily, "Young Master Zichu, this is not something you can joke about!"

After Ganzi finished speaking, he stood up suddenly with his weak body, and rushed out of the study staggeringly.

Even if he eats the last meal, he will not have the next meal, and he doesn't want to serve such a stupid, arrogant and wanton master!

After Qin Zichu sat there and was yelled at by Ganzi, he blinked before realizing that he was already "Mr. Zichu who knows his shame and is brave".

It is impossible for him to understand these now.

Qin Zichu hurriedly stood up, not wanting to grab Ganzi's fleshless wrist.

Ganzi's body is so weak that he needs his son's support, how can he withstand Qin Zichu's violent pull?

He stared wide-eyed and screamed and fell backwards. Qin Zichu didn't even want to hug him into his arms, and finally stabilized his falling body before landing.

"...It's dangerous." Qin Zichu glanced at Ganzi who had regained his composure, and gasped and laughed.

Ganzi moved slowly and was supported by Qin Zichu to stand firm.

He frowned unhappily, pushed Qin Zichu away, cupped his hands impatiently, and still said, "Farewell."

After finishing speaking, Gan Zi didn't even give Qin Zichu a chance to speak, so he got up and was about to leave.

Qin Zichu had no choice but to grab Ganzi's wrist again, making him fall back to his side again.

Qin Zichu simply put on a stalking posture, insisting on relying on his stronger fighting power to hold Ganzi in place.

Before Qin Zichu could speak, the door of the study was pushed open with a "creak!", and Ying Zheng stood outside the door holding a scroll of letters in his hand, his eyes widened.

Qin Zichu let go of his hand in an instant, and jumped a long way away from Ganzi.

He fixed his eyes on Ying Zheng, waiting for him to speak all the time, so Qin Zichu couldn't help but tremble with nervous lips.

Qin Zichu squeezed his lips tightly, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

Ying Zheng looked at Qin Zichu suspiciously, his eyes flicked past him, Ganzi, and the boy sitting beside him with an anxious expression on his face.

I don't know how long it took, Ying Zheng finally took a deep breath, walked around the three people on the ground as if he didn't see anything, went directly to the edge of the bookshelf, and changed a scroll of letters.

Ying Zheng turned around, avoided them again with a natural expression, and left calmly.

Qin Zichu felt that he had prepared an explanation, but it was all easily sealed by Ying Zheng, unable to speak, which caused him some internal injuries.

Seeing that Ying Zheng left the study without asking, Qin Zichu suddenly felt dispirited, and looked at Ganzi without the sense of urgency that he had to explain clearly just now.

He still politely and considerately helped Ganzi up, and said in a disappointed voice: "Mr. misunderstood. Although Zichu is not very literate, he still has some research on digging river channels. If you don't believe me, please go back. Zichu still has some Things, I will not accompany you."

After speaking, Qin Zichu shuffled to the bedside, couldn't help looking at the bedroom, wondering why Ying Zheng's reaction was so strange.

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻ Bear is not a good-tempered person at all.

He just fell out of love, why did he react so flatly!

It's all science!

Or the world in the mind of His Majesty the First Emperor is really beyond the imagination of mere mortals!

Qin Zichu stared at the window of the dormitory, but no matter how hard he looked, there was no sign of opening the window and throwing him a look from the other side.

The more he thought about it, the more restless he became, and the palms on the windowsill could not help but clenched tightly.

But Qin Zichu's willingness to be dazed and nervous is his own business, and Ganzi is not in the mood to stay here with him, but Qin Zichu's reaction to Ying Zheng's son made Ganzi think of another possibility to arrange his son.

Suddenly there was another coughing sound behind him, making Qin Zichu turn his head in surprise.

He found that Ganzi, who was very dissatisfied with him at first, hadn't left at this time, and looked at him with doubts in his eyes.

Ganzi sat where he was, and when the time was right, he suddenly said, "Does Master Zichu really know how to dig canals?"

Qin Zichu suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, sat back in front of Ganzi and nodded, and said modestly: "I will."

Hearing his answer, Ganzi stopped speaking again.

After a while, he reconsidered and said, "Master Zi Chu, it's not that Ganzi must make things difficult for you, but a little knowledge of superficial knowledge is of no value to the construction of rivers and canals. Great Qin's victory this time shocked the six countries, but in the future The Six Kingdoms will no longer be as easy to persuade as they are today to give up the joint fight against Qin. I originally wanted to use the prestige of the great victory to ask the son to ask the king to ask for someone from South Korea. If he presides over this It is absolutely competent for the construction of the canal - but there is only one thing that is not good."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Qin Zichu asked immediately.

Ganzi's way of speaking is very attractive. Even though Qin Zichu was originally distracted by worrying about Yingzheng's reaction, he gradually became more focused as Ganzi narrated.

"This person is not from Qin, and he has no intention of coming to Qin to serve." After Ganzi finished speaking, he shook his head regretfully, and said in a low voice, "If the young master asks for this person, I'm afraid he will take advantage of the opportunity of building a canal, Deliberately delaying working hours and increasing manpower, in order to consume the power of our Great Qin."

Qin Zichu fell silent after hearing this.

Twisted melons are not sweet.

When Ganzi said this, Qin Zichu didn't really expect this person to appear in Qin's land.

It would be fine if this person just wanted to consume Qin's national power, but if he was a ruthless person, it would be really troublesome if he made a good river and canal into where the water flowed and the fields were flooded.

Qin Zichu didn't want to use tens of thousands of human lives and Qin's treachery to test the character of others.

After thinking about it, Qin Zichu spread his hands and said: "Although the master has good intentions, the lives of the people of Daqin cannot be disregarded. Zichu can't use force to oppress him to come here to preside over such an important project just because the talents mentioned by the master are outstanding. Otherwise, once he has evil thoughts in his heart and the rivers and ditches he deliberately built flood into disasters, my Daqin will be wiped out."

Ganzi sighed, and Qin Zichu guessed that he was completely ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, Ganzi suddenly said, "Don't you 'know a little bit', sir? Why can't Master Zichu stare at this person himself, squeeze out his value, and remove his malice?"

Σ(っ°Д°;)っYes, yes!I will definitely do it myself!

Why would this matter be forgotten in the ditch while chatting!

Qin Zichu smiled awkwardly, then kowtowed to Ganzi, "Mister, please stay and help me."

Ganzi made such a big detour just to get Qin Zichu to keep him. Now that he heard the answer he wanted to hear, he immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Ganzi replied, "Thanks to Mr. Chu Mengzi for not giving up, Ganzi is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Sir, do your best." Qin Zichu said politely.

After finishing speaking, he looked worriedly at Ganzi's pale complexion, hesitated for a while and said, "I have an elder brother who is not very healthy. If you don't mind, sir, you might as well let the elder brother's medical staff take a look at it for you."

"Thank you, my lord." Ganzi no longer refused, and generously accepted Qin Zichu's overture.

But after he paused for a moment, he gritted his teeth slightly, and suddenly asked: "Ganzi is destined to be a short-lived person, I hope the young master can let the boy Gan Luo stay with the young master, so that he will not live on the streets in the future."

Qin Zichu almost jumped up from where he was when he heard this.

How dare he find a book boy for Ying Zheng!

Qin Zichu took Ganzi's hand directly, and quickly said, "Sir, don't worry. If something really happened to you, I wouldn't let this kid live on the street and be bullied by others, but Zichu can't let him serve people at a young age." Work. Mister can let him accompany you on weekdays, and there are many rooms in the Yan Palace Annex, so you must be able to live there."

Compared to serving others, it is of course better for his son to hold his head up high.

With Qin Zichu's promise, Ganzi finally showed his sincerity.

He said softly: "The person Ganzi mentioned is Zheng Guo, a famous Korean water conservancy expert."

"I understand." Qin Zichu memorized the names, and immediately sent someone to arrange accommodation for Ganzi and his son.

Then, he lifted his foot and walked to the bedroom.

Stretching out the head is a stab, shrinking the head is still a stab, anyway, Ying Zheng just let him go easily, so don't deceive yourself.

┭┮﹏┭┮I hope to see the sun tomorrow.
