Cheng Jiao and Fan Yuqi rebelled in Tunliu.
Thousands of miles away, the Prime Minister's Mansion of Qin looked like everything was business as usual.
There are cars and horses here, and the messengers are pulling one cart after another. On them are bamboo slips as high as the hill. The red cloth slips are blown by the wind. Visitors and doormen are coming and going. .
Although busy, it is very orderly.
There are two doormen on the left and right of Pi, who are two of Lu Buwei's confidants. They do the most obscure things for the Prime Minister.
They were walking at a very rhythmic pace, holding up their sleeves and looking at the carriages one after another. At the end, they said to the visitors, "Thank you for your hard work, let's go."
The visitor bowed his hands and resigned: "No hard work, no hard work."
When the people and cars were noisy and walked away, dusk also enveloped the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The day's operation of the Prime Minister, who represents the center of Qin's power, has come to an end.
Zuo Pi and You Xu looked around for a while, then walked into Lu Buwei's office with their heads lowered.
"Xiangguo."
Entering the inner room, they knelt down and saluted.
Lu Buwei put the hot tea on hand, still smoking, he moved the joints of his tired fingers and said calmly: "Is there any movement?"
"yes."
Zuo Pi said in a low voice, "Fan Yuqi came to report, but Cheng Jiao did not move forward and stationed in the village. Fan Yuqi gave Cheng Jiao a good talk, and finally Cheng Jiao issued a message five days ago, and he rebelled!"
Youxu is Zuo Pi's younger brother. He followed his brother and said, "If Cheng Jiao rebels, Prime Minister, you will send troops to quell the rebellion again. You will serve the country and the people without a sword."
Lu Buwei blew on the hot tea, coughed slightly, and said in an elegant manner, "You're going against it, how come you're going against it, how's the momentum going?"
Zuo Pi: "Cheng Jiao first incited the 50,000 Qin army generals, and then issued a crusade. Fan Yuqi also said that he was going to let Cheng Jiao capture two nearby counties, recruit troops, and stir up trouble.
You Xu: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, even if Mrs. Huayang defends Cheng Jiao, it will not help."
"General Fan Yuqi handled this matter neatly and neatly." Lu Buwei tapped the wall of the cup with his fingertips and closed his eyes. "He has courage and strategy."
Zuo Pi: "A person who serves the Prime Minister's country."
Youxu: "Deserve a great reward!"
Lu Buwei opened his eyelids and said warmly: "It's just a pity that his temperament is difficult to train, he is disobedient to discipline, and he is not good enough to be a knife in the hand of his true nature."
Zuo Pi Youxu immediately reacted, "Xiangguo, please save me!"
After that, they got up and left.
"After this is done, you go find a group of people to replace the truth." Lu Buwei stopped them.
Pi on the left and whiskers on the right: "But it depends on the mission."
Lu Buwei pressed his right hand on the case firmly and said, "To find a group of homeless adult men, they need to be physically strong and talented."
homeless adult man
Strong physique and talented?
Zuo Pi and You Xu looked at each other as they walked out of the door. They both saw confusion on each other's faces. You Xu took the lead and said, "What does the Prime Minister want us to find? Thugs? Guards?"
Zuo Pi shook his head: "It's not like that. The prime minister has a salary of three thousand yuan. If he needs thugs to protect him, why should we brothers look for him?"
"No family? Is that an assassin?"
"What are you talking about?"
Zuo Pi bumped his brother with his elbow, and You Xu clutched his chest and grinned in pain.
Zuo Pi said, "The key point is the word "genius". Can you be smarter in doing things?"
"Brother, although I have not studied at Jixia Academy, I know that there are special talents, which are unique talents that are different from ordinary people. But the Prime Minister did not say what kind of talents are there?"
"etc."
Something seemed to flash across Zuo Pi's mind, "Built. Strong. Strong. Extraordinary."
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly and he glanced at his brother.
Yousu's face has collapsed, and there is a crack.
"Isn't it?!"
Yousu almost jumped up, "We're not looking for a duck, we're looking for a group!"
"Shhhhhh!"
Zuo Pi quickly covered his brother's yelling mouth, "This matter is of great importance. We must consider it in the long term."
Yousu: "Uh-huh, I definitely can't take it short."
Zuo Pi's face turned dark, and he wanted to knock his younger brother unconscious.

When the news of Cheng Jiao's rebellion in Tunliu reached the Qin State via the front line, it quickly set off a huge storm in the Qin State's temples.
Especially Fan Yuqi dared to claim that the dignified King Qin was a bastard.
The regent and prime minister immediately protested in the court hall and vowed that they would never stop destroying the traitors. He immediately sent 100,000 elite troops, led by Wang Jian, to suppress them.
The whole country also cursed Cheng Jiao for this matter.
The old Qin people were loyal and honest, and twisted into a hemp rope. They all claimed that Fan Yuqi was a traitor general, and even said such monstrous words to confuse the public.
Didn’t the late king know whether the King of Qin was a bastard?
Do you have to let a subordinate be the leader?
The Lord of Chang'an still incites the indiscriminate handling of affairs, and still incites him when he holds the military power. It is really his heart to punish!
Fan Yuqi's clan, young and old, the Fan clan, even if it goes back three generations, all produced generals who were loyal and devoted to Qin, and the Meng clan were all families that swore allegiance to the King of Qin.
Now that something like this happened to Fan Yuqi, their clan was ashamed and guilty.
Coupled with Qin Fa's consecutive crimes, the group poisoned and died overnight, and this ancient family disappeared.
"Is it really suicide poisoning?"
In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng frowned slightly and asked his confidant Zhao Gao, "It's fine if he is an adult man. He has such backbone, but the Fan family, regardless of men, women, old and young, housekeepers and servants, even those who are pregnant The women were poisoned.”
Zhao Gao said respectfully: "Perhaps they want to retain their reputation as a member of the Fan clan. Generals generally value loyalty more than their lives."
Ying Zheng's expression was extremely calm, "Loyal? That's right. Fan is indeed loyal to me. That man personally went to live in the village and beheaded Fan Yuqi, so that he could be reunited with his family."
Zhao Gao's face changed greatly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are the king of the Qin Dynasty. How can you go to the danger with a body of ten thousand gold? It is better to leave these marching and fighting matters to the Prime Minister, Wang Jian, Meng Ao, General Zhang Tang them."
"I have made up my mind, let's talk about receiving the punishment."
Ying Zheng's decision cannot be criticized. After saying this, his royal clothes billowed like waves and left the palace gate.
A few steps further is Baitao's side hall. Unlike the deserted and lonely main hall where he lives, this place is beautifully carved and painted.
This is his final resting place, his resting place after fatigue.
Ying Zheng stepped on the fragrant carpet of flowers, crossed the floor-to-ceiling mountain and river screen, and opened the bead curtain made of colored glass.
I saw Baitao sitting at the table, cutting the bouquet in the vase with scissors, making a clicking sound.
There are many delicate little flowers pinned to Baitao's temples, and the entangled flower branches blooming on her cuffs are so gorgeous, showing a different kind of moving and charm.
But she kept moving, and the flower branches were cut to pieces by her.
Ying Zheng paused: "Are you upset staying in the palace?"
Baitao knew he was coming, so she put down the scissors and said, "No, I eat well and sleep well. I saw the flowers in the back garden were pretty, so I cut them off."
"Then why cut in the vase?"
"I want to learn flower arranging, but what's wrong with me not being able to learn?"
Baitao felt that she was terrible at arranging flowers, but that didn't affect her self-confidence, "I can't learn how to do it anyway, so I might as well just cut it."
Ying Zheng took off the trembling pink flowers on her temples, twisted them, and placed them on the vase. "I don't know how to do it. You can learn from Taotao. Just put this flower on the branch first. What does Taotao think?" ?”
Bai Tou looked at the bare flower branches in front of him, on which he placed a single flower bud, and couldn't even see it.
"A bald man with a hat on his head can't even block it. He's so ugly. Brother Zheng, you're not as good as me."
"Ha ha."
After all, he was a young man, and Ying Zheng smiled brightly.
Baitao looked at him intently, "You can still arrange flowers and laugh now. Are you not angry anymore about Cheng Jiao?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "...Hmm."
Baitao tilted her head: "Really?"
A few days ago, because of Cheng Jiao's rebellion, she felt that the news was very tight, and she became more compliant.
He no longer leaves the palace, no longer plays around, and no longer invites actors to perform acrobatics in the palace. The fox fur all over his body is smooth and meticulous, and he also destroys flowers and plants in a leisurely manner.
If you weren't angry, wouldn't you be able to go out and play as usual?
Before she could secretly rejoice, the smile on Ying Zheng's face subsided and he sat next to her and said, "There are rumors in the market that I am a bastard, my father Zhong is my biological father, and my father Zhong is my biological father. Taotao feels that I am a bastard." Well, do the widow and Father Zhong look similar?"
Baitao was slightly startled. She had heard a lot of rumors, but she didn't expect that the invincible man was also concerned about this matter.
That's right, mortals care about the inheritance of bloodline, and who doesn't want to find out about their own life experience.
But he really doesn't look much like his father.
He has a straight nose and thin lips, deep eyes, and sharp edges. He is the kind of aloof and strong person who is afraid of being hurt when people who are not familiar with him approach him.
His father, Ying Zichu, was much more approachable. After more than ten years of working together in the Zhao Kingdom, Ying Zichu still felt a bit of pent-up depression.
When I returned to the Qin Kingdom, I was constrained by the Queen Mother Huayang, and she could not open my mind at all. As a result, my temperament was pulled out with thin threads, making it look like it was not broken.
The so-called appearance comes from the heart, this looks like
Not too much.
Baitao felt that he didn't want to ask about something that didn't look like it. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
She thought for a moment and said, "Even the book says that stray pills stop in a moment, and rumors stop in a wise man."
After that, she whispered in his ear, "Maybe Brother Zheng, you are more like your great-grandfather."
"I heard from the people in the palace that King Qin Zhaoxiang made all the countries frightened after hearing the news. The achievements you have made, brother Zheng, will not be any worse."
"Sometimes strength is also a way to prove yourself. A person is better than a person who is good at it. Brother Zheng, you will definitely be stronger in the future."
The girl tried hard to search for the poems that she had memorized in recent days to persuade her, and a series of sweet words came out from her lips.
Ying Zheng caressed and played with her delicate jade fingers, not knowing what he was thinking with his deep eyes, "Before you want to achieve great things, I must first be in charge."
Baitao's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Brother Zheng, you still have several years before you can wear a crown and a sword."
"Many things cannot be accomplished overnight." His narrow eyes contained ink that could not be melted away. "The matter of becoming a dragon will become the first stepping stone on the road to self-government for a few people."
Baitao: "Huh?"
"I want to go to Tunliu and personally quell Chengjiao's rebellion. I want not only my father Zhong to see, the six nations to see, but also the soldiers of Great Qin to see that I am the only one they can loyal to, the king."
There was an unstoppable sharpness between his brows, and Baitao didn't try to persuade him, "Okay, when will you leave, brother Zheng?"
"I will be with General Wang Jian the day after tomorrow. Father Zhong has no reason to stop me."
"Uh-huh."
Ying Zheng held her in his arms and patted her, "I want Taotao to send me to the battle."
"all right."
Baitao agreed wholeheartedly. After all, she didn't just eat and work, so it didn't hurt to give her away.
"Well, I have to dress up Taotao before going to the battle," he said.
"What are you dressing up for?"
Baitao was curious and looked at him with a pair of autumn eyes. Ying Zheng reached out and folded a gorgeous flower in full bloom and pinned it to her temples.
I saw a young girl with emerald hair on her temples and cherry lips, soft and delicate.
She clenched her fist and hit him again, "Okay, brother Zheng, are you using my head as a vase?"
Ying Zheng's handsome face with eyebrows drawn in ink came over and pecked the corner of her mouth.
"It's so beautiful, it would also look good as a vase."
"That's right, I don't know who is good-looking."
Baitao automatically ignored the second half. She also liked to hear other people compliment her on her beauty. When she heard this, the fox's tail almost turned up, "No, I want to arrange flowers for you too."
She casually folded a big red flower and pinned it on his temple.
After parting with the soft flowers, the condensed angle of Ying Zheng's jaw dissipated, making him appear to have an indescribable face as beautiful as jade, with a myriad of charms.
Even the most famous young master in Xianyang City could not be as ecstatic as him.
Baitao's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said, "Brother Zheng wears flowers, he looks good too."
Ying Zheng also let her tinker.
He raised her chin again, kissed her delicate lips, and said seductively, "As long as Taotao kisses her, I can give Taotao a hairpin to play with on my head."
But it was just a kiss. She wanted to poke his head more than kiss him.
Baitao took the bait and said, "Okay, I'll give you a hairpin, but don't move around yet."
How could Ying Zheng not move? He bent down and clasped her head, sucking her head.
"Damn it, I told you not to move." All the flower branches in Baitao's hand fell to the ground, splashing a piece of flower mud. Their lips were touching each other. She moaned from the kiss and lay softly on his shoulder. .
After all, Ying Zheng didn't kiss deeply, he only tasted it briefly, as if he still retained the layer of restraint between them.
He looked at Bai Tao, who was squinting her silky eyes in his arms, and his pupils darkened: "Taotao."
"Hmm, are you done kissing?" Baitao said lazily and coquettishly, turning her belly, "If you keep kissing me anymore, I will fall asleep."
Ying Zheng: "."
Already entered v, thank you for your support!
