For teacher, for father

"Come on, I'm still afraid that you, a stinky brat with no hair on your head, will fail!"

……

Ji Hao wanted to pretend he didn't notice the fights in public places, and didn't really want to care about these two little guys with weird ways of getting along, because he was the only one who knew the process of their acquaintance a few years ago—Qi Yi and Yingzheng, the noble son of Zhao State and the noble prince of Qin State, they are both men who will accomplish a lot in the future, and their friendship does not need those nephrite words to embellish without illness.

If you are not happy, you will come to fight with real strength. If you are tired, you will have a brother to support you. If you are injured, you will have a brother to accompany you.

This is the way Ying Zheng and Qi Yi have been getting along with each other these years, primitive, barbaric, happy... incomparably precious.

The young man with black hair smiled beside the two lion cubs eager to try. He could pretend not to see these two, but he couldn't pretend not to see Qin Jun's burning eyes looking at him in the whole yard...

Especially the general who took the lead in front of Yingzheng's chariot was staring at Ji Hao with those tiger eyes without blinking, even the palace servants and soldiers behind him were all staring at him.

That look made Ji Hao's scalp tingle.He understood that these people were telling him that Ji Hao should hurry up and prevent His Royal Highness from colliding with Zhao's bandits, otherwise, they would kill him with their eyes.

Indeed, Ying Zhengxin is the crown prince, and there are too many eyes watching him, and too many eyes with different purposes watching his every move.

and so……

"Zheng'er." Ji Hao glanced at Qin Jun, who was staring at him in the yard, and gently pressed his palm on the young man's thin shoulders, exerting a little force. Yi shook his head.

The reunion at this moment is indeed precious and nostalgic... But it must not be left to others, Qi Yi is, and Ying Zheng is even more so.

……

The two teenagers were stunned at the same time when they realized Ji Hao's actions, the eagerness to try finally faded from their black eyes, and they became clear and quiet.Qi Yi paused, looked at Qin Jun, who was in a depressed atmosphere from the corner of his eye, and said in a low voice: "There is still some time, if you are not busy, Mr. Ji and Zheng'er can come with me to the house for a short talk. .”

"So, it's up to you." The young man's voice returned to his previous coldness, he casually glanced at the soldiers who surrounded the courtyard tightly, and said lightly: "Everyone, go and guard outside the Qi mansion. Come in, and go to receive the punishment yourself after returning to Qin."

"The last general obeys orders." The leading soldier saluted Yingzheng respectfully, and calmly and orderly evacuated the Qin army from the entire quiet courtyard.

The strict management and rigorous style of the army of the Qin Dynasty are just like the black color advocated by the whole country-rigorous, powerful, harsh, and meticulous.

Qi Yi has been observing Qin Jun's attitude towards Ying Zheng from the beginning to the end. There is no flattery or frivolity. Instead, it is the most supreme loyalty and respect of a soldier. This can already reflect the current status of Ying Zheng in the Qin Palace from the side. Or... Lu Buwei's status in Qin.

……

The Qi Mansion is not luxurious, and even has the tranquility of a literati's elegant residence. There are many trees and flowers in the mansion, and in the hot air, there is a rare fragrance of flowers and green trees, which is refreshing.

Qi Yi left quickly, brought the three of them to his living room, and carefully checked all the leaks before the boy sat down and poured a glass of water for Ji Hao and Ying Zheng.

"I got the news the day before yesterday that Lu Buwei was worshiped by the King of Qin as a general, and he personally led [-] Qin soldiers to attack Zhou. The army has now crossed the Yellow River. It's really strange that none of the six kingdoms has come out ahead."

Qi Yi's complexion was not very good, perhaps because he didn't get enough sleep, the young man's originally energetic eyes also had a faint blue color, and he stared closely at his calm friend, a little worried: "Ah Zheng, you ...Be careful with Lu Buwei."

"I know, Lu Buwei's tiger-wolf heart, I'm just a pawn that he has to attach to now. When the usefulness is exhausted someday, Lu Buwei will not show mercy to me."

Ying Zheng said these words quietly, without any waves on his indifferent face, he still remembered to gently push the ceramic cup filled with clear water towards Ji Hao, signaling the young man to remember to drink water.

"Ayi, do you know what method Lu Buwei used to make none of the six kingdoms stand up for the emperor of Zhou?" Poured a cup and said slowly: "When the army was crossing the Yellow River eastward, Lu Buwei wrote an impassioned article - talking about the magnificence of the Western Zhou Dynasty, counting the injustice of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, talking about the rotation of the fate of the country, and warning the six countries. Do not act rashly."

"Not only won the sympathy and support of the people, but also attributed Zhou's demise to God's will..." Ji Hao was poured water cup by cup by his own students, and finally found a gap, and grabbed Ying Zheng's left hand that was still pouring water with one paw, He quickly opened his mouth to pick up the words of his own students: "This is a statement with the will of God, which country dares to go against the sky?"

"The biggest difference between Lu Buwei and generals is that he is a big businessman. Even in a war, he also knows how to guide the current public opinion with aggressive arguments, so as to win the greatest advantage for himself."

This point may be ridiculed by soldiers with great skills, but everyone has to admit that Lu Buwei's method maximizes his own interests and minimizes difficulties.

A big profiteer... Ji Hao complained silently in his heart, and then looked childishly at the expressionless young Yingzheng beside him, who was still working on helping his husband with his great career.The young man rested his chin on one hand and wandered into the sky, very defensively determined that his students were more attractive.

Bias?Ji Hao nodded, yes, he is biased!

……

"..." Qi Yi frowned, his mind was in chaos.Different from Ji Hao's fugue and Ying Zheng's indifference, Qi Yi began to be more and more afraid of Lu Buwei.

Now that the monarchs of all countries suffer from God's will and no one stands up for Zhou, have they ever thought about...the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, after Zhou's demise, the next one to be occupied by the strong Qin iron hoof...which country will be its turn?

Zhao is very likely to be Qin's next target!

……

"Ayi, don't worry about that old thief." Ying Zheng poured water into Ji Hao's pottery cup for the fourth time, and skillfully pushed it to the hand of the wandering young man before looking at his friend, but he didn't realize that Qi Yi was really worried things: "Lu Buwei is conceited and has great ambitions. After a few years, I will personally let him experience the end of raising tigers."

"I'm going to be full..." Ji Hao protested, pushed the water glass away, was pushed back, pushed away again... his hand was caught.The boy's jewel-like eyes stared at him quietly, Ji Hao surrendered, drank the water in the pottery cup viciously, and turned his head to get angry.

"Ayi told me that the weather is hot, and my husband caught a cold a while ago. Drinking plenty of water will help you cool off." Ying Zheng ignored Qi Yi's look at the two laughing, turned his head, and recognized Staring at Ji Hao seriously, his tone was imperceptibly soft: "Does your throat still hurt?"

"..." The young man turned his head slowly, resting his chin on his hand, deliberately not looking at Ying Zheng: "I've been fine for a long time!"

"So, sir, I blame Zheng'er for being late...indeed, it's Zheng'er's fault." Sighed.

"Again... this trick again!" Ji Hao surrendered, as long as the future Emperor Shihuang showed such aggrieved and helpless expression, he would have nothing to do, even if he knew that this was a big weapon prepared by the other party for him, the young man There is still a willingness to take the bait voluntarily.

This feeling of being coquettish and cute from my own students... Unexpectedly, Ji Hao was very helpful.

……

The solemn atmosphere in the hut was unknowingly swept away by Ji Hao and Ying Zheng's way of getting along, Qi Yi clutched his stomach and laughed, while the young Ying Zheng stared at him, to no avail.

If it is said that Ah Zheng kept pouring water for his husband, he could pretend not to see it, but the obvious coquettishness behind...Compared with the cold face staring at him now, Qi Yi finally couldn't bear it. He stopped smiling, and the boredom in his chest was also swept away.

"Qi Yi really wants to go to Qin to see if Ah Zheng is so...cute to Mr. in Xianyang Palace."

"Zheng'er has always been cute." Ji Hao pushed away the pottery cup in his hand, rubbed the top of his student's hair, corrected him dutifully, and Qi Yi laughed again.

Ying Zheng's face became darker and darker because of Qi Yi's cheap look, but he didn't refute Ji Hao's words, he just let off air at the laughing young man.He said in a very unhappy muffled voice: "Sure enough, I still want to beat you up, Ayi."

"I've said it before..." Qi Yi grinned, and looked at Ying Zheng, who was a head shorter than himself, with a smug smile, with a mocking light in his black eyes: "A brat who doesn't even have hair growing, I Qi Yi will be afraid that you will fail?"

"Before I can beat you up and down, don't you die in any corner." Ying Zheng spoke viciously, and said to Qi Yi with a smile on his face.

Now he is no longer the proton of Qin State for Zhao, and Qi Yi is no longer that simple playboy of the Qi family. In just three years, too many things have changed.Qi Yi, who is now 16 years old, has a firm stand just like himself, and shoulders the mission entrusted by his family.

The young man nodded, slightly bent the corners of his lips, and boldly raised the pottery cup in his hand, and filled the cup with water: "We are reunited today, Qi Yi replaces wine with water, and respect Mr. and Ah Zheng."

After finishing speaking, Qi Yi took the lead in drinking the water in the glass, ignoring the water droplets splashing on the fine silk clothes, his tone was low and mellow, already stained with the elegance and confidence endowed by growth: "Qi Yi is not talented, and he will be replaced in three days. The seriously ill father went to the front line, and we will meet each other on the battlefield in the future..."

The young man smiled, but he didn't finish his sentence. Before Ji Hao could interrupt, he changed the subject leisurely, and said something slowly that Ying Zheng still couldn't understand: "Now Ah Zheng has Mr. Accompanying, Mr. is also protected by Ah Zheng... In this way, Qi Yi doesn't have to worry about the two of you anymore."
