Qin Xiang

There are green mountains and green waters, and there are few people. There is only a thatched hut, and an old man in a bamboo hat is fishing. Standing behind the old man is Qiu Wuxue, a swordsman who is as immobile as a pine.Qiu Wuxue never talked very much, if the old man didn't speak, the scene would be like a painting.

And that old man is the target of Ying Zheng's trip - Wei Liao.The most ridiculous thing is that Wei Liao did not fish in the stream, but asked his apprentice Qiu Wuxue to move a large water tank with a few small fish in it. fishing.

"Wuxue, look at your junior sister Yu'er is married. You are so old that you can't even find a wife. It's really sad." Wei Liao crossed his legs in trepidation and began to mutter.

Qiu Wuxue raised her eyelids slightly, and said calmly: "Master, let's talk about it after finding Master's wife."

"..." Wei Liao stopped talking, how did this group of juniors know that he also had a wife and son back then, and his wife was beautiful and virtuous, and his son was smart.But after his son fell ill and died early, his wife also passed away in grief.After so many years, his wife's face has gradually become blurred, but in his heart, that figure has always existed.

Forget it, didn't he regard Gan Luo and Qiu Wuxue as his own sons long ago?Not at all alone.

Qiu Wuxue has been by Wei Liao's side since he was a child, and knows the slightest changes in his expression.His master was obviously sad, he knew he said something wrong, he went to catch a few more fish in silence, threw them into the water tank, let Wei Liao have a good time.

Wei Liao cheered up again: "You're still sensible, not like that little Gan Luo, who hasn't come to see me for so long. It's all because the King of Qin pestered him." Originally, Wei Liao was still complaining about Gan Luo, but in the end his foothold changed again. Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng, who was lying innocently, had nothing to say.He thought silently in his heart: "The widow just wants to pester Gan Luo, bite me if you have the ability!"

Gan Luo patted Ying Zheng's arm reassuringly, and pushed the door open first.At the beginning, Wei Liao still had eyebrows and eyes, and was coaxed by Gan Luo, but he still smiled sullenly, and asked Gan Luo what he had learned and what he had done by Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng's side.

But when Ying Zheng appeared next to Gan Luo, Wei Liao's face was pulled down, like an old man whose daughter was robbed by his son-in-law.

"What are you doing here? My hut is humble, and I can't welcome the king." Even though Ying Zheng became the king of Qin, Wei Liao still never concealed his hostility. He is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, let alone, He also wanted to know how far the king of Qin could be courteous to corporals.

Ying Zheng doesn't know why he always wants to please the relatives around Gan Luo, but it's just this uncle Wei Liao, who doesn't eat oil and salt, and has great wisdom.

"Uncle, brother is here with me. I'm thinking that I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you and brother doing recently? You should stay with me at home, at least there is someone who can cook. At the beginning when Gan Luo decided to enter the palace to accompany him, Wei Liao was not happy, so he moved out of Gan's house and returned to live in thatched cottage.Gan Luo has been persuading him for a long time, and the main purpose today is the same.

Being coaxed by his little nephew, Wei Liao felt light in his heart, he had actually had enough of Qiu Wuxue's cooking skills, two words - unpalatable!

Gan Luo coaxed him for a while, and Wei Liao reluctantly agreed to go back to live.The guards who followed Ying Zheng happened to help move things, and those bamboo slips were not light.

Gan Luo took a few steps back and walked side by side with Ying Zheng. He whispered, "Brother, don't you want to persuade the uncle? Why don't you speak?"

"Wei Liao doesn't like me. If I say something he doesn't like to hear, you probably won't be able to persuade him to go back to Gan's house this time." Ying Zheng knew that it would take a long time to impress someone who hates you. There is no rush.

Gan Luo's heart was sweet, and his face became bright.He only has a sister and no brothers, and he is very happy when he is taken care of by Ying Zheng.He also thought about doing more to repay the other party.Now that Lord Lu is in charge of the affairs of the government, he should go to the Hou Mansion more often to listen to his orders. This is also a way to help Yingzheng.What's more, he has to learn from his uncle. If his uncle is really unwilling to come out to help Ying Zheng, he will simply replace his uncle.

Gan Luo secretly made a decision, and his steps became more brisk.

It was getting late, and Ying Zheng sent Gan Luo home, so he simply went back to the palace alone, with guards escorting him, so he didn't have to worry about safety.Suddenly, he thought of his childhood friend, Crown Prince Dan of Yan Kingdom.Now that he's out, let's go visit him.

Three years ago, Cai Ze, the prime minister of Qin State, went to Yan State to be his prime minister. After three years of hard work, he finally persuaded Yan State to form an alliance with Qin State, and sent Prince Dan, who had just returned from Zhao State for a few years, to Qin State again as a hostage. At that time, it happened that Ying Zheng had just ascended the throne for a few months.

Knowing that Prince Dan is coming, Yingzheng prepared a gorgeous residence, exquisite clothes and food, although there is no freedom, but the proton's treatment is definitely not bad.Ying Zheng looked at Prince Dan's residence with great satisfaction, his friend was not bullied.

He didn't say hello either, just went in directly, just like he did when he was a child.

Crown Prince Dan of Yan was stunned when he saw Ying Zheng in micro-clothes, and looked him up and down for a long time before he dared to recognize him.

"It's really rare for you to come to see me. I thought that after I became a prisoner, the high-ranking King Qin would not dare to come and see me." Prince Dan said with a bit of yin and yang.

In the past, when both of them were protons, Prince Dan would not mind Ying Zheng breaking in like this, but now his status has changed.One is the aloof King Qin, and the other is the proton who was dumped by his father. The huge gap makes Ying Zheng's slightest negligence become his humiliation to him.

Yingzheng has held a high position for many years and was held up and respected by others. Hearing what Prince Dan said, he couldn't help frowning.Just as he was about to say something, Prince Dan cut him off.

"Zheng, I'm sorry, I was the one who got angry. You also know that I have been a hostage in Zhao State for many years, and I finally returned to Yan State. It didn't take long before I came to your hand to beg for life, my father..." The rest of the words did not say Come out, after all, the son never blames the father.

"Forget it, I can understand that you are in a bad mood. The prince of Zhao State is also a hostage in Qin State. If you are bored, you can find him to relieve your boredom." Ying Zheng didn't pursue it for the sake of past love, but he also No desire to continue the conversation.

It's true that different people have different fates. Prince Dan looked at Ying Zheng darkly and complicatedly. The other party was already the monarch of a country, and he was still a hostage in other countries.The same is the prince, Yingzheng's father took him back as soon as he came to the throne, and as for himself, his father was afraid that he would be an eyesore in the country, and he obviously had other royal children, but he insisted on sending him here.

He was deeply jealous of Ying Zheng, and had reached the point where he was insane.

"There is still something to do in the widow's palace, so let's go first." Ying Zheng bowed his hands and said goodbye.What he didn't see was that Prince Dan's face contorted when he heard him say widow.

"In that case, Dan won't keep you any longer. When we are free, we will never go home without getting drunk." Prince Dan said with a gentle smile. Years of proton career has cultivated his character of being kind on the outside but extreme on the inside.

The old friendship has changed, and Yingzheng is a little disappointed. He only thinks that Ganluo will come tomorrow and comfort him.However, to his displeasure, that guy Gan Luo suddenly thought that he was still Lu Buwei's disciple on the surface, and he should often go to Lu's mansion to assist Lu Houye.

He is a popular person around Yingzheng, and now he is back with Lu Buwei. In order to show his loyalty, Lu Buwei will not let him idle and assign him many tasks.

Recently, Zhao Wang knew that his life was not long, so he wrote a letter to Lu Buwei, hoping to welcome back Zhao Guo's prince Yan, who was a hostage in Qin, so that the prince could prepare to succeed him in the future. Gan Luo was responsible for informing Zhao Prince Yan of this matter.

Compared with Prince Dan, Prince Zhao Yan is almost a poor family, and his family is dilapidated.When he saw Gan Luo coming, his face became paler, like a quail, as if Gan Luo was some kind of beast.To be so cowed by a child, it's no wonder that Lu Buwei didn't send anyone else.

Gan Luo sighed, and then showed a more kind expression, which could at least reduce Prince Yan's vigilance.

"I am Gan Luo, the young concubine son of Marquis Wenxin of Qin Dynasty, and I am here to meet the prince." Gan Luo saluted respectfully.

"So it's you? I have admired your name for a long time." Prince Zhao nodded. He had also heard of Gan Luo's name. After all, he was begging for a living under Ying Zheng's hands. , but what do you want King Qin to tell you?"

Gan Luo's expression became serious, and Prince Zhao was so frightened that he sat upright, afraid of hearing any bad news; "The prince's father is seriously ill, and I'm afraid he won't last long."

"What?! Really or not!" Zhao Taiziyan shouted while grabbing Gan Luo's sleeve in surprise, and there seemed to be some joy on his face.

"Prince?" Gan Luo yelled in confusion, and Prince Yan finally came to his senses. He put on a grief-stricken expression and burst into tears. Luo easily stopped him.

"Prince, my condolences. You still need to cheer up. The people of Zhao Guo are still waiting for you to return to the country to preside over the overall situation." Gan Luo comforted him, for fear that the other party would faint from grief.

Prince Zhao wiped his face, showing a trace of strength in his weakness, he said decisively: "I don't know when I can leave? I can leave at any time. I just hope that I can return to Handan as soon as possible to serve my father. side of the king".

Gan Luo clapped his hands, and several maidservants and guards came in quietly, startling Prince Zhao.

"After they helped the prince pack his luggage, we set off immediately. Our country will send a team of soldiers to escort the prince to the border between the two countries, and the Zhao soldiers will wait there. The journey may be bumpy due to the rush, and I hope the prince will understand." Gan Luo After crackling and explaining, Prince Zhao would just keep nodding his head.

"It's a very good arrangement. I'll leave it to the young concubine." Prince Yan is not a decisive person. Now that Gan Luo can make all the arrangements, he couldn't be more satisfied.
