Li Si breathed a long sigh of relief. He felt that this matter had finally been resolved satisfactorily.
As for what Zhao Tuo's confidants and soldiers thought, Li Si was too lazy to care.
Li Si gritted his teeth and politely greeted Li Shui again, and then the two of them agreed to explain the matter clearly in front of His Majesty.
Afterwards, Li Si got on the carriage and entered Xianyang City in a hurry.
As for Li Shui, let the whole team go back to Shangjun's courtyard first, and he can enter the palace alone.
Li Xin took Zhao Tuo's 3,000 soldiers back to the camp.
After entering the palace, Ying Zheng was standing by the pond watching the fish.
I saw Li Shui and Li Si coming.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said calmly: "Is Zhao Tuo still alive?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty's will is greater than heaven and earth. How dare I kill Zhao Tuo without permission?"
Ying Zheng said: "Since Zhao Tuo is still alive, why don't you bring him to see me?"
Li Shui looked at Li Si.
Li Si said to Ying Zheng: "Zhao Tuo suffered some injuries and is currently in a coma, so he was not brought into the palace."
Ying Zheng immediately showed a bewildered smile to Li Shui, as if "I knew this would happen a long time ago."
Li Shui said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Tuo's injuries were not caused by me. I have never touched a finger of Zhao Tuo."
Li Si had no choice but to say: "I ordered people to beat him. Zhao Tuo was not strict with his subordinates and made a big mistake, so I ordered people to beat Zhao Tuo."
Later, Li Si told the story of the injustice done by the horns and the dung gold. However, all the blame was placed on Zhao Tuo's confidants. He said that he was a confidant in order to please Zhao Tuo, so he made his own decisions.
Li Shui had a tacit understanding and did not expose him.
Ying Zheng asked Li Shui curiously: "Can you kill the so-called confidant?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "No."
Ying Zheng sighed and said strangely: "You didn't kill him?"
Li Shui: "..."
What image do I have in His Majesty's mind?
Li Shui coughed dryly and said: "I have always been willing to show mercy to others. After all, Niujiao and Dungjin are not dead, so I did not kill the henchman."
"Master Tingwei ordered his confidant to be struck with eight hundred sticks. When I saw that his confidant was beaten with blood and flesh everywhere, he was dying. So I couldn't bear it and spoke out to save him."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Shui: "I still remember that when you first arrived in Xianyang City, you must avenge your enemies and show your sharpness."
"I didn't expect that we could make such progress in just one year. Good, very good."
Li Shui said sincerely: "I have learned many virtues from Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction.
Li Si looked dumbfounded. He stared at Li Shui and thought: Doesn't this person even blush when he lies?
How many of Zhao Tuo's soldiers were beheaded in Gaoshan County? Outside Xianyang City, didn't you ask for the eight hundred sticks?
Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked Zhao Tuo and Li Si to retreat.
The two people left the palace together.
Li Shui suddenly said to Li Si: "Master Tingwei, would you like to go to Dr. Chunyu's home together?"
Li Si looked at Li Shui in confusion: "Why?"
Li Shui said: "Dr. Chunyu is a generous elder. He has always taught me to treat others with courtesy and repay evil with kindness."
"Today I received praise from His Majesty. His Majesty said with great eloquence that I have made a lot of progress. I would like to invite Mr. Tingwei to come with me to report the good news to Dr. Chunyu so that he can be happy."
Li Si: "..."
Li Shui looked at him in confusion: "What? Is it inconvenient for Lord Tingwei?"
Li Si coughed dryly and said, "I'm not going, I'm going. I just had two drinks in the hut and I feel like vomiting."
Afterwards, Li Si ran away quickly.
Li Shui looked at Li Si's back and shook his head slightly, thinking: Qin people still need to practice their drinking ability.
…………
In Shangjun's courtyard, Dung Jin has already met his father.
After the father and son met, they hugged each other and cried.
The two of them cried for less than a minute before they were pulled away by Xiangli Zhu and others.
Tian Weng cried with tears in his eyes: "It's so easy for our father and son to meet each other, why should we be separated alive?"
Xianglizhu said helplessly: "You were studying cow dung just now. And his body is full of wounds. Do you want to kill him?"
Tian Weng then remembered and quickly pushed back a few steps.
Afterwards, Tian Weng took a deep bath and disinfected with alcohol, and then he sat down with Dung Jin and had a good chat.
During the chat, Tian Weng told Shi Jin: "From now on, our surname will be Tian. It is the surname given by the banished immortal. From now on, your name will be Tian Jin."
Tian Jin's eyes filled with excitement.
Niu Jiao and Tian Jin, you and I told each other what happened on the road.
Tian Weng was so grateful after hearing this that he almost beat his chest and said that he would die to repay the banishment of the immortal.
The craftsmen nearby looked on with smiles.
They saw their past selves on Tian Weng's face.
When everyone was helped by the banished immortal, they all went through this process.
Banishing the Immortal... is really amazing.
Tian Weng said a few words to Tian Jin and asked him to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. After he recovered, he would come to his small courtyard to help.
Now Tian Weng has an independent yard, which is called the fertilizer station.
There are various kinds of manure inside, which can be air-dried, sun-dried, steamed, boiled, etc. Different methods are used to study the internal structure of the manure and find out the ingredients that the crops really need.
The area around the fertilizer plant is very quiet, with few people passing by. After all... not everyone can stand the smell.
Tian Jin has been rolling in dung heaps with his father since he was a child, so he must be a good player when it comes to research, so Tian Weng hopes that he will join as soon as possible.
Young people have sharp ears and eyes and quick minds. They may be able to discover things that Tian Weng cannot.
After chatting with Tian Jin for an hour, Tian Weng returned to the fertilizer station.
He was so grateful to Li Shui that he wanted to develop a fertilizer as soon as possible to repay Li Shui's kindness...
The return of Niujiao and Tianjin made Shangjun's courtyard lively for an hour or two. Gradually, everyone went about their business.
If you want to have a leisurely life in Shangjun Courtyard, there are a hundred ways to do so. But craftsmen are used to being busy.
They love their jobs now. For the first time, they discovered that work can be so enjoyable...
Xianglizhu stopped Niujiao who was about to leave and asked, "Where is Huaiguzi? Where are they?"
Niujiao said: "Master Banished Immortal has entered the palace."
Xianglizhu groaned, frowned, and thought: Entering the palace? Why haven't you come back yet?
Niujiao asked Xianglizhu: "Is something wrong, girl?"
Xiangli Zhu said calmly: "That's all, you don't understand even if I tell you, go ahead and do your work."
The horn made a sound, turned around and walked away.
In Shangjun Courtyard, Banxian and Xianglizhu are two special beings.
The things the two of them come up with and develop are always incredible and beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
These are two mountains that are truly amazing to look up to.
It is said that the ability to banish immortals is even better than that of Xiangli girl.
The other craftsmen can figure out what Miss Xiangli made after thinking about it for three to five days.
As for the idea put forward by the banished immortal, those craftsmen couldn't figure it out even if they thought about it for a year.
Miss Xiangli must think about it for a while before telling the craftsman. Only in this way can ordinary people barely know what is going on.
After watching Niujiao leave, Xianglizhu called Wujiao over again and said to him, "You go to the palace and let Huaiguzi come back soon."
Wujiao scratched his head: "Why is this?"
Xianglizhu said calmly: "I have made some discoveries, but I don't quite understand them yet."
Wujiao said oh, turned around and left.
And Xiangli Zhu returned to his room, staring at a strange-looking thing on the table in a daze.
This thing is a bamboo tube that has been opened up and contains lenses. It looks like a telescope, but it is different from a telescope.
This is what Xianglizhu made just this morning.
Xiangli Zhu picked up the bamboo tube, put it against one of his eyes, and then looked at a leaf on the table.
She used a knife to cut the leaves very thin, allowing the light to shine through from underneath the leaves.
Xiangli Zhu sighed while observing: "It's really magical. It turns out that the leaves are made up of small grids one after another."
…………
Wujiao ran around for a long time and finally saw Li Shui in Chunyu Yue's house.
Wu Jiao bowed to Li Shui and said with a dry smile: "Sir, Miss Zhu asked you to go back. She said she made a new discovery."
Li Shui was stunned for a moment, then stood up immediately: "Let's go, let's go back immediately."
Xianglizhu made a new discovery? That must be something fun. It's much better than chatting with an old man like Chun Yuyue.
So Li Shui bowed his hand towards Chunyu Yue and said, "Sister-in-law, let's talk some other time."
Chunyu Yue let out a faint hum through his nose.
"Sister-in-law? Who is your sister-in-law? This shameless person." Chunyu Yue cursed secretly in his heart.
He found that life had become increasingly difficult recently.
In the past, it was Li Xin who would show off from time to time, but now, Huai Guzi also shows off shamelessly.
Chunyu Yue sighed: "It's too difficult to educate these two people. I almost want to give up..."
When Li Shui and Wu Jiao walked to the door of Shangjun's courtyard, they saw some people gathered there.
These people stood on the ground in a strange posture. When they saw Li Shui arriving, they saluted Li Shui in a strange posture.
Li Shui asked in confusion: "Who are you?"
One of them stood up and said with a sad face: "My name is Guan Wu."
Li Shui looked at him strangely: "Guan Wu? I don't know him."
Guan Wu said with a grimace: "I am originally Zhao Tuo's confidant."
Li Shui exclaimed and said, "Then do you know the man who was beaten with Zhao Tuo today? He also claims to be Zhao Tuo's confidant."
Guan Wu grinned and said with difficulty, "That person is me."
Li Shui: "..."
No wonder this guy is standing in such an awkward posture. It turns out he is injured.
Li Shui said calmly: "After receiving more than four hundred canes, don't walk around randomly. If you move your muscles and bones, it's not a joke."
Guan Wu wiped away his tears: "Thank you for reminding me. I am repaying evil with kindness, and you still care about me so much. I can't thank you enough in my heart."
Those behind me all said, "I'm very grateful."
Now Li Shui understood that these guys were here to say thank you.
It was really difficult for them. An ordinary person would have to lie on the bed for three to five days before getting off the ground after being beaten four hundred times. Fortunately for them, they came right after the beating.
Guan Wu said to Li Shui: "We have discussed it. Zhao Tuo is mean and ungrateful to us, and we don't want to follow him anymore. If he doesn't dislike the banishment of immortals, we are willing to enter Shang Jun's courtyard and work as slaves and maids. Serving the Exiled Immortal. Exiled Immortal, don’t worry, I’ve been through battles for a long time and can still do the job of looking after the home and the courtyard.”
Li Shui rolled his eyes and thought: How many people want to enter my Shangjun Courtyard, have I agreed? How much effort did Xiang Yu put in to serve as a guard? As soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, you come in?
Besides, after you were beaten like this, you won’t be able to use your legs and feet in the future. Who knows if you can serve as guards?
Li Shui complained secretly in his heart, and then said to Guan Wu in a serious voice: "You will all go. I have already made an agreement with Lord Tingwei. From now on, you will still be by Zhao Tuo's side, be his confidants, and be his soldiers."
"If Zhao Tuo dares to abuse you or exclude you, you can come directly to me and complain. I will support you, so you don't have to be afraid."
When Guan Wu heard this, he almost cried: "Exiled Immortal, we really want to repay Exiled Immortal."
Li Shui coughed dryly and hinted to him: "If you repay me, you don't have to enter Shang Jun's Courtyard. In Zhao Tuo's camp, wouldn't you be able to repay me in the same way?"
The soldiers behind were still a little confused, but Guan Wu was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand something.
He limped over and whispered: "The meaning of banishing the immortal is..."
Li Shui nodded: "Yes, that's what you understand."
Guan Wu nodded: "Yes, I understand. Don't worry, I will repay the life-saving grace of the Immortal. I will do my best to tell the Immortal everything about Zhao Tuo's movements."
Li Shui pointed at the soldiers not far away: "These people are all under your command. One person is responsible for the shortcomings, and two people are responsible for the longcomings. With so many people helping you, there shouldn't be any mistakes, right?"
Guan Wu shook his head vigorously: "There will definitely be no mistakes."
Li Shui nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's not just Zhao Tuo. If my prediction is correct, Li Si will be particularly kind to Zhao Tuo in the recent period. You just want to follow Zhao Tuo to see the world and see what Li Si is doing. What, let’s see who Li Si likes to associate with and see what he has planned.”
Guan Wu responded, fully agreeing.
At the same time, he was also a little puzzled: Will Lord Tingwei be particularly kind to Zhao Tuo recently? How can this be? Zhao Tuo made such a big fool of himself and lost an adult. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid he would have given up on Zhao Tuo long ago, right?
Mr. Tingwei has rescued Zhao Tuo. This is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous. Why would he be so kind to him?
Li Shui looked at Guan Wu, who looked puzzled, and smiled in his heart: It was precisely because it took Li Si a lot of effort to save Zhao Tuo, so Li Si had to make the best use of it. Doesn't it make Li Si more considerate of his subordinates to be extra kind to him at this time?
This is a good opportunity to show kindness to others, and Li Si will not let it go.
