For teacher, for father

"...Ji Hao!"

Yan Dan clenched his palms tightly, and stared fiercely at the innocent man in front of him with those bright and bewitching black eyes. He took off all the pretense and became indifferent. Today's Prince Dan is like a child who has been robbed of his personal property, covered in blood. His anger scorched his few rational minds.

"You—you know, this is the death penalty of the Zhu Jiu Clan. If I report it to the king now... all of you will not be able to escape!"

"His Royal Highness already has the answer in his heart, doesn't he?" The young man smiled, and gently put down the bamboo slip in his hand, with a leisurely movement.Ji Hao stood up slowly, straightened his messy clothes, and curled his lips: "Your Highness is a smart person, even if it's for your future..."

The teenage boy bit his lower lip, his handsome appearance was full of unwillingness, he raised his head and stared at the young man like a fox with a smile.

Ji Hao nodded, took a step forward, and brought himself closer to Yan Dan. Standing against the light, there was a hint of ambiguity in his voice, his voice soft and deep, rubbing against Yan Dan's sensitive nerves: "You won't tell King Zhao, or you won't even now. Standing in Ji Hao's mere shabby room."

"..."

The young man observed Yan Dan's gradually calming expression, smiling slyly and almost showing a fox's tail wagging and wagging.After all, he has the memory and experience of 2000 and [-] years more advanced than Yandan, and he has lived with the future Emperor Shihuang for nearly three years. How can he still be inferior to a teenage child?

At most, he would suffer a little and let Yan Dan vent his depression.With Yandan's city and inner ambitions, he is determined not to hit Lu Buwei's muzzle because of his personal grievances.

Although Yan Dan hates Zhao Zheng to the bone, he also understands the relationship between Yiren and Lu Buwei... If he still wants Lu Buwei's financial assistance and diplomatic contacts, he has to endure this breath.

Zhao Zheng and Yiren have now left Handan City, and only his wife Ji Hao and Zhao Ji are left to deal with the aftermath.However, for Zhao Ji's daughter-in-law, Yan Dan disdains to scheme and murder a powerless woman, so he had to vent all his anger on Ji Hao——

"Come in, all of you!" The young man looked at the relaxed Ji Hao, and his anger became even worse. His handsome appearance was already a little distorted, and he gasped and shouted loudly at the servant outside the door: "Take this man back... Severe torture, no one is allowed to see him!"

"..."

"...Even if I can't touch Zhao Zheng, you——Ji Hao! You can't escape!" Yan Dan gritted her teeth, and her dark red lips were bloodshot from the bite, showing a hint of madness.

With black hair and jade crown, slim body, and bright blue silk, it looks luxurious and elegant under the lights, but it seems a bit disobedient because of the twisted expression of the young man. Yan Dan hates Zhao Zheng, and hates Zhao Zheng for having such a Most of the people who were born and died for him hated him as a proton, but he himself had to continue to struggle to make a living in this Handan City...

"Your Highness, why do you make things difficult for yourself?" Ji Hao smiled wryly, and helplessly let himself be restrained by a few black-clothed servants, and sighed softly: "It's not that the fate is unfair, isn't it all His Highness who won it all by himself?"

Born to be the prince, but helplessly reduced to the hostage of the Yan Kingdom, the proud and arrogant Yan Dan used such a distorted method to maintain his status in other countries. If this continues, how can Yan Dan stay? people?

"..." The young man was dumb, but he still stared unwillingly at the young man in front of him. He was dressed in old linen white clothes, with gentle and delicate eyebrows and eyes, and there was always such a vague smile on his lips, with warm red eyes. The light shone on Ji Hao's body. Even in such a dangerous situation now, Ji Hao was still open-minded and casual.

The messy clothes revealed the white and slender collarbone of the young man, his neck was raised slightly, and his expression was indifferent. For a moment, Yan Dan looked at Ji Hao like this in a daze.

He even felt that... the Mr. in white, who was detained among the two servants in black, had a touch of elegance mixed with his embarrassment, which was very...beautiful.

The young man took a step unconsciously, shortening the distance between himself and Ji Hao again.The frown and the complexity in the eyes reveal Yan Dan's struggle.

Such a man, young and full of economics and knowledge, traveled around the world, and won the praise of the six countries. If King Zhao hadn't called him into the palace that day, Ji Hao and his knowledge should have belonged to him!

……

"His Royal Highness—is this approach too much?"

Not far away, the clear youthful voice interrupted Yan Dan's momentary confusion, and suddenly withdrew his hand that was touching the young man. Yan Dan frowned, with a bad expression, and turned around slowly.

who is it?Come and disturb him at this juncture!

The lights were brightly lit, and dozens of domestic servants were surrounded by a slender figure. The silver-gray silk clothes matched with the warm light of the candles made him look more noble. Qi Yi walked into the courtyard expressionlessly, with steady steps and a proud expression. , with a cold tone: "Mr. Ji is a teacher invited by the Qi family. Even if His Highness is the prince, in the land of my Zhao country, you should pay attention to this gift of respecting teachers and morals?"

Qi Yi's words were not polite at all, he pointed out Yan Dan's identity as a proton, and without hesitation put Ji Hao under the jurisdiction of the Qi family—whose family is Ji Hao's husband? , Yan Dan knew it, and Qi Yi knew it even more, but who could come up with evidence?

"..." Yan Dan narrowed his eyes, looked at the young boy who was confronting him, and suddenly showed a smile, and there was a faint cold light in his dark eyes: "Who am I, isn't this the son of Mr. Qi's family?" I haven't seen you for a few days, and Mr. Qi has already taken refuge in the enemy's position?"

"Presumptuous!" Qi Yi shouted, expressionless on his face, and even took a step towards Yan Dan, with a bright voice: "Before the investigation is clear at this time, is His Royal Highness too concerned?"

"If you want to convict me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you don't have to show mercy. But——as long as His Highness is still the hostage of the Yan Kingdom for a day, you don't need to interfere with my Zhao Kingdom's affairs."

"... Well said! Qi Yi, oh Qi Yi," Yan Dan laughed loudly, with a trace of anger mixed with his handsome appearance, but he was pressed hard into the chest by the young man, and turned into a sneer: "Indeed, I I can't control you. You and I are just a cooperative relationship, and each takes what he needs. I need your father's political status and Lu Buwei's financial support. It's just..."

Yan Dan raised his sharp chin, looked coldly at the young man who used to hang around him in front of him, and smiled even more: "You'd better pray that your father won't be suspected by King Zhao, the Qi family—— I will not be expelled from Handan City by King Zhao himself!"

"If there is such a day, don't blame Yan Dan for being cruel!"

The Qi family is a member of Zhao State's officialdom and the leader of loyal ministers. Even if Qi Zhongguo is framed by villains and sent to the border, his status as the hostage of a small and weak country is still unshakable for the time being.Even if it is reported to King Zhao at this time, Qi Yi can minimize the consequences of the alien's escape.

That's all, that's all!

The blue-clothed boy waved his hand slightly, and the black-clothed domestic servant who was holding Ji Hao put Ji Hao down quickly, and stood tightly beside Yan Dan as a gesture of protection.

Turning around again and looking at Ji Hao behind him, Yan Dan curled her lips, saving the last bit of arrogance for herself, and strode away from the simple courtyard without looking at Qi Yi.

"What happened today, given time, if you leave the country of Zhao, Dan will pay you back a hundredfold!"

Unlike the ruins and ruins that can be seen everywhere in Zhao State, Xianyang City in Qin State is clean and generous, and the market is full of tides. Even after sunset, the streets with people coming and going are still full of lively atmosphere.

When the carriage drove into Xianyang City, Lu Buwei changed into a purple robe with blood and mud on it. At the same time, he tidied up the messy faces of Zhao Zheng and Yiren, and changed into a new silk dress.

The man closed his eyes, and sat quietly in the spacious carriage, meditating.

Along the way, especially when breaking through Zhao Bing's blockade, all three of them suffered great tests and oppression.Even if Zhao Zheng hadn't pushed him at a critical moment... the feathered arrow would definitely have landed on him.

But he himself escaped this catastrophe, and the young Zhao Zheng was miserable. He was hit by two arrows, and he was feverish intermittently all the way. After he was hunted down, he also had a doctor he arranged to go with him, otherwise Zhao Zheng would not be able to survive Xianyang City.

Zhao Zheng...

Lu Buwei was thoughtful, gently rubbing his chin with his fingertips.

This seemingly thin and silent boy did not seem to be as weak and vulnerable as he once thought.As the son of Zhao Ji, a singing girl, Lu Buwei is very clear about Zhao Zheng's growth environment since he was a child.Reviled by the people of Zhao State, abandoned by the royal family of Qin State, and such a useless mother...

Even Ying Yiren, who has been under house arrest by King Zhao all year round, doesn't know his lonely son.

However, it was such an unremarkable young man. After Ji Hao served as Zhao Zheng's mentor and had such a good show with Yan Dan, Lu Buwei unconsciously noticed the existence of the young Zhao Zheng.

Until he acquiesced to Ji Hao's proposal and brought a different person to leave the country of Zhao together with Zhao Zheng - from this step by step, Lu Buwei discovered Zhao Zheng's forbearable wisdom and unyielding personality.

This point has to be admired by the man, even more commendable than his somewhat weak father.

The descendants of Qiang Qin, with a forbearing and unyielding personality, decisive when they should be decisive, and loyal to themselves...

Lu Buwei curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction. It turned out that he was not only a stranger, but he also ignored such a precious and rare piece of jade.He will definitely not be mistaken, Zhao Zheng's political career in the future will definitely be more successful than his father's for a long time!

So……

"Wait until you stop at the inn where the young master is resting. I want to take the young master out together." The man's deep voice was very clear in the night. After the coachman responded respectfully, Lu Buwei leaned on the cushion behind him again, Thinking about this young man who he never cared about at all.

He is a businessman, and he cultivates other people, all he wants is future benefits and his own political status - but now, it seems that there is another grandson who is more worthy of his cultivation and spending money to cultivate.

Lu Buwei nodded slightly, his black eyes flickering with a dark light of unknown meaning.

It seems that his plan that has been planned for many years needs to be slightly adjusted and changed. The stranger... must be the best stepping stone for Zhao Zheng to rise to the top.
