Seeing that Zhao Ying was coming, dozens of elite soldiers on duty around the courtyard quietly put away their crossbows and exited the courtyard very consciously. Including Xiong and Gai Nie, these people are Zhao Ying's strength left here.
It was kept in front of Xiang Yu, openly and openly, without the slightest intention of covering up.
The main theme is distrust.
You, a guy who works hard and thinks about rebellion every day, expect me to leave you alone at home without any precautions. That is not a broad-mindedness, but a disease in the brain.
Zhao Ying doesn't intend to play the trick of convincing people with virtue or conquering them through influence.
If the game goes wrong, the backyard will be hijacked.
It’s not like Xiang Yu didn’t have a criminal record. In later history, in order to force Liu Dating to fight with him head-on, this guy directly kidnapped Liu Bang’s seventy-year-old father, and killed the old man who could be his elder father regardless of his age. On the high cutting board.
He threatened that if Chief Liu Dating didn't surrender immediately, he would directly tear up the vote and cook the old man directly.
Fortunately, Chief Liu Dating and him also had a good relationship, which was shameless enough.
In front of hundreds of thousands of Chu and Han troops, he said to him without changing his expression, "We were both ordered by King Huai, and we are brothers, so my father is also your father." If you insist on cooking and eating your father, please show some loyalty to me, brother, and don’t forget to give me a piece of the pie.
Xiang Yu was dumbfounded.
In terms of shamelessness, he was no match for Chief Liu Dating.
At that time, he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He wanted to cook Mr. Liu for a while, but fortunately, Xiang Bo persuaded him to stop. This guy just went down the slope and let the unfortunate Mr. Liu go.
Therefore, Zhao Ying didn't dare to bet on this guy's bottom line.
After all, this kind of guy who is obsessed with rebellion and wants to be the boss doesn't have much bottom line.
Not to mention anything else, after he and Xiang Liang fled to Kuaiji, Yin Tong, as the governor of Kuaiji, hid the whereabouts of their uncle and nephew for many years, helped them gain a foothold in Kuaiji, and agreed with their uncle and nephew to work together to plot big things.
As a result, as soon as he raised his troops, he launched an attack without hesitation and chopped off his benefactor's head with a sword to sacrifice the flag.
People's hearts are cold and cold, and this is the case.
He could be considered a match for the unnamed adopted son of later generations who was also outstanding in martial arts, good at wielding a halberd, and specialized in cutting down his adopted father.
But Zhao Ying didn't care about this. Anyway, he didn't accept his adopted son, nor did he become a sworn brother with him. What he valued was his bravery and ability. So, everything is clear.
It is difficult for this kind of person to be influenced by others, and he does not think that he has the means.
Then what kind of nonsense are you playing with?——
"I have met His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson——"
Zhao Gao, who lived with Xiang Yu, quickly stood up and bowed politely. Zhao Ying nodded slightly and did not give him any unnecessary looks. The main reason is that this guy is too tolerant. If he uses some small tricks, it will be meaningless, but it will make others laugh.
The most important thing is that this product is really easy to use.
He can fight without caring about his own life, he can do odd jobs, and he can be meticulous. Even if he is asked to raise horses and drive carts, or do some menial tasks, he can do it seriously and make people unable to find any fault.
The most amazing thing is that after doing these things, when he became Zhao Qi's law student and swordsmanship teacher, he still fulfilled his duties without any hesitation.
If he hadn't known that in the history of later generations, it was this guy who wiped out Great Qin, Zhao Ying would not be able to help but like this piece of shit.
What Zhao Ying didn't know was that this small change in his attitude made Zhao Gao feel flattered. Ah, His Highness nodded to me——
After a few months, this guy was tortured by Zhao Ying, and he almost had signs of Stockholm syndrome.
Seeing that Zhao Gao was about to bow down and leave, Zhao Ying waved his hand lightly.
"It doesn't matter, just stay -"
"promise--"
Zhao Gao retreated behind Zhao Ying very eloquently, following every step in an orderly manner, just as he had followed the First Emperor. In this regard, Zhao Ying ignored him and looked directly at Xiang Yu, who was unshaven and looked a little haggard.
"You are finally willing to come see me..."
Xiang Yu stood up and looked at Zhao Ying who was approaching.
Under the dim light, Zhao Ying's figure looked even taller and more powerful, giving him an indescribable sense of depression. He subconsciously took half a step back. He was not used to this feeling of needing to look up to others.
But no matter what, Zhao Ying is half a head taller than him...
"I knew you would come to me."
Xiang Yu's eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse. The map Zhao Ying gave him completely overturned his understanding of the world. It turns out that there is such a vast world outside of Da Qin. It turns out that Da Qin, which forcibly annexed the six kingdoms, is only a small corner of this world.
It turns out that at the end of the sea, there are still large tracts of land!
"Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do if you give me this..."
Xiang Yu somewhat disliked Zhao Ying's calmness and calmness, the way he looked sure of himself. He even had a bold guess in his mind, but he still couldn't help but want to get confirmation from Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying smiled and did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he walked straight to the tables in the middle of the house and sat down in a dignified manner.
Zhao Gao immediately stepped forward quickly, bent down, lifted the teapot on the table, and filled Zhao Yingman with a cup of hot tea. Zhao Ying lifted it up very naturally. Under Xiang Yu's gaze, he lifted the teacup with ease and took a sip——
Well, I suppressed the greasiness and discomfort in my buttocks, coughed slightly, and put down the teacup.
"Become the long sword in my hand, and I will give you an elite army, and you will help me expand my territory. In the future, I may guarantee you the title of Overlord of Western Chu. The world is so big, why do you have to do that? A frog in a well? If you really have ambition, if you go out and fight casually, you can create a foundation that far exceeds the so-called Guchu land..."
Having said this, Zhao Ying suddenly grinned.
"What's more, with me here in Da Qin, what kind of trouble can your uncle and nephew make..."
Xiang Yu:......
He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.
Whether it is the personal bravery of the emperor's eldest grandson or his terrible record, people have enough capital to say this.
After feeling depressed for a long time, he said in a deep voice.
"You really dare to give me an army?"
When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Why don't you dare? As long as I think about it, I can't go anywhere in this world! If you, uncle and nephew, are willing to surrender to me, Da Qin, Da Qin will be your most solid backing. If you dare to have rebellious intentions..."
Zhao Ying smiled.
"I don't mind squeezing him to death—"
Xiang Yu:......
Seeing that this guy's face was turning green and red, Zhao Ying straightened up and stood up.
"I have helped you register for this martial arts examination. Your first task is to win the martial arts championship this time - if you want to be the sword in my hand, you must first prove that you are not a waste... "
Xiang Yu's face instantly turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly as he looked at Zhao Ying's back that didn't even look back.
Frustrated!
He wanted to rush forward and fight this guy for 300 rounds, but he knew that was all wishful thinking. If he really dared to rush forward, he would be humiliating himself...
How could there be such a terrible person in this world!
Looking at Xiang Yu who looked aggrieved and did not dare to resist at all, Zhao Gao felt sad.
Quite a bit like the same people who have fallen into the world.
…
Early the next morning, Xiang Yu, the halberd man, went to work again, carrying Zhao Ying's Tianlong city-breaking halberd, riding his own black horse, and followed Zhao Ying without saying a word.
Fortunately, his black horse is also a rare good horse in the world, otherwise, it may not be able to hold on.
When Zhao Ying and Xiang Yu rushed to the palace, Shaofu Shi Lu was already waiting outside the palace gate happily with a pedal threshing machine and a cart of wheat.
Seeing Zhao Ying, Shi Lu jumped off his horse and hurried to greet him.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson——"
Zhao Ying smiled and dismounted in return.
"Young Master Shi is so early in life. His loyalty to the public and the country is really admirable..."
Shi Lu smiled and said politely.
"Your Highness is so complimentary. This is what a humble minister should do..."
Having said this, he pointed excitedly at the pedal thresher and a cart of wheat he carried behind him.
"Wei Chen sent people to speed up the production of the stone roller and the pedal thresher yesterday - I came here today to ask for credit for His Highness..."
After Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Today is no different than before. Now this small contribution is no longer necessary to me, but I still politely say thank you. He glanced at Shi Lu, who had obviously been there for a while.
"Have you ever had breakfast in Mr. Shi's mansion? Why don't you go in and have some with me and my eldest father..."
"Thank you, Your Highness, no need, no need..."
The corner of Shi Lu's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly declined politely.
Do you think anyone can be treated like you, Your Highness? You can come whenever you want and dine with His Majesty whenever you want? Without His Majesty's special gift, who among us ministers would dare to take His Majesty's job...
Shi Lu declined, and Zhao Ying did not force himself. He said goodbye with a smile and went to the palace.
When Zhao Ying arrived, the First Emperor was doing Tai Chi in the back garden for the first time. It's just one move after another, and it looks a bit unfamiliar and dull. It's obvious that he hasn't practiced it in the past few months since he left.
I guess it was because I joked yesterday that I wanted to check his Tai Chi skills, so I held the Buddha's feet temporarily.
Zhao Ying felt angry and funny at the same time.
However, he didn't expose the little trick of the First Emperor. He happily walked over and watched with his hands folded.
Originally, I learned it temporarily from Taiwei Liao yesterday afternoon. The movements were relatively unfamiliar. Being stared at by this bitch, I almost made mistakes in practicing the movements.
However, it's not a big problem.
Seeing that the First Emperor had finished a set of Tai Chi and was already pretending to be slowing down, Zhao Ying saluted happily.
"Good morning, Dad——"
The First Emperor nodded majestically.
"Well, move your body - don't tell me, you really have some skills in Tai Chi..."
Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.
"This is natural. If you can persist in exercising for a long time, it will naturally have miraculous effects..."
Hearing what Zhao Ying said, the First Emperor felt inexplicably guilty.
He had been decisive in killing all his life and had never been afraid of anyone. For some reason, he was afraid of seeing the disappointed look in his grandson's eyes. This kid is good at everything, but he takes his body too seriously——
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying suddenly felt something in his heart.
"Uncle, do you still remember the granddaughter of Taiwei Liao's family - Miss Weiyang, when I went to Jiangshan Sheji Division yesterday, I saw her. She has now achieved the results of her training. Her whole body is full of energy and blood, and she is strong and healthy. , even my strength has grown a lot, and I even look a lot more beautiful..."
The First Emperor glanced at his eldest grandson with some suspicion.
"Really, I'm not going to lie to you - Miss Wei Weiyang is not only energetic now, but her complexion and skin look much better..."
After Zhao Ying finished speaking, he felt something strange next to him. He turned around and saw that the First Emperor was looking at him with a strange expression, half-smiling but not smiling. He suddenly felt embarrassed. Unexpectedly, the First Emperor did not make a joke on him this time, but actually nodded seriously.
"Well, speaking of which, I haven't seen that girl for a long time. I'll ask Wei Qing to bring her over later..."
At this point, the First Emperor seemed to be in high spirits.
"That girl has been extremely smart since she was a child and has a photographic memory. If she were not a girl, I would have wanted to train her well and make her my prime minister..."
Returning to the main hall, Zhao Ying waved the maid aside to leave, and personally waited on the First Emperor to finish washing, while having breakfast prepared.
The First Emperor enjoyed the feeling of being personally served by his eldest grandson.
This made him feel that he was a father of flesh and blood, no different from ordinary people, instead of a daunting single man and widower.
Although he knew that Shaofu Shilu was waiting outside, Zhao Ying did not rush him.
He leisurely had breakfast with the First Emperor.
Today, the First Emperor still didn't eat much. He only ate less than half a bowl of fish balls and drank a portion of millet porridge with wolfberry. This made Zhao Ying feel inexplicably heavy.
However, there was no clue on his face, and he was just snoring and purring, then swept away the rest of the meal in a hurry.
The First Emperor was there, watching him eat with a smile.
After Zhao Ying finished eating, the dishes and chopsticks were put away, and the table was cleaned, the First Emperor gave the order calmly.
"Let Mr. Shi come in -"
Shi Lu came to the palace early in the morning with a thresher and a wheat puller. It was difficult for him not to know.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. Your highness, the emperor's grandson, yesterday developed a new farm tool that can be used to thresh crops. The efficiency is dozens of times better than the flail -"
As soon as Shi Lu entered the hall, he stepped forward to announce the good news to the First Emperor with a happy face.
When the First Emperor heard this, he turned to look at Zhao Ying aside with some surprise.
"It's not one kind. When did it become two kinds..."
Zhao Yingyun waved his hand lightly.
"Just yesterday - I had some ideas. It happened that Shaofu Shi was here, so I followed him to the Shaofu to find some craftsmen and gave it a try..."
First Emperor:……
Seeing how this brat's tail was about to rise, the First Emperor was too lazy to talk to him anymore and looked at Shi Lu, who was standing with a bow.
"What is another farm tool? Has it been used before? What is the effect..."
He had heard about the stone roller, and even had it tested that night. If it was pulled by an ox, it would be ten times more efficient than several flails.
Therefore, when I heard that there was a new farm tool, I immediately became interested.
