I miss my hometown!
Thinking of this, Chen Ke's tears fell quietly again.
The moon in the sky was shining silently, and Chen Ke was already crying.
How can you not feel homesick when you are in a different place?
Every time in the dead of night, listening to the chirping of cicadas outside the window, Chen Ke always wanted to kill all those cicadas!
The chirping sound of cicadas made him toss and turn in sleep.
But after all, he didn't know whether it was the chirping of cicadas or homesickness that kept him tossing and turning.
Even if he is now the young master of one of the Nine Qings, even if he is extremely prosperous now, what is the use?
Wealth and nobility are like walking in brocade at night.
Although this place is nice, why was it his home?
In the past, these emotions were accumulated together. Chen Ke never noticed it, but he looked different from the world.
But today, the phrase "add clothes when the weather is cold" that coincided with his mother's made these emotions that had been accumulated for a long time burst out in an instant.
It was late at night, and Chen Ke slept in his clothes.

Zhangtai Palace
When Han Tan came back and told all Chen Ke's behavior, Ying Zheng had a look of surprise on his face.
After sending Han Tan away, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.
Why is Chen Ke crying in shock?
"Dunruo."
Dunruo walked out of the shadows with a calm expression. He knew what the emperor wanted him to do.
"I'm here."
Ying Zheng's voice was heavy: "Check it out and see what's going on."
Dunruo lowered his head and responded.
"Here,"
After Dunruo left, Ying Zheng only felt an even greater headache.
You had good intentions at first, but now why do you feel that your good intentions have led to bad things and hit a sore spot in your humble courtship?
Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of...
This guy won't go on strike, right?
If there is a strike, who should do those things?

Yichun Palace
Fusu was reading with a book in his hand, yawning from time to time.
Beside him, a handsome but naughty boy sat there.
It was Hu Hai.
Hu Hai was holding a pen in his hand and was carefully writing down the homework assigned by Chen Ke.
The young master and the emperor have returned from their southern tour for half a month, and this guy hasn't finished his schoolwork yet.
In desperation, Fusu could only watch Hu Hai write every day.
Hu Hai was sitting there on his knees, as if there was a nail under his knee, unable to sit still.
He would scratch here and there.
It took a long time to write a few words.
When Fusu on the side came to check the progress, he saw the appalling progress.
He held his forehead and sighed.
"Brother Hai, it's not that I won't help you."
"If you really continue like this, what do you think will happen to you when the teacher takes time out?"
Fusu's voice was gentle, but the threat hidden in it was obvious.
Hu Hai's hand trembled subconsciously.
Seeing this, Fusu continued: "On the day the teacher returned from the southern tour, he told his father about your homework."
"My father personally ordered your hand to be slapped."
"Now, if you let your father and the teacher know that you have gone back to your old ways and haven't done your homework..."
There is no need to say anything else. Hu Hai just focused on his homework and wrote in a hurry.
He didn't want to see how his teacher dealt with people.
"hiss"
Hu Hai felt chilled all over just thinking of this possibility, with a look of fear on his face.
Fusu on the side looked at him like this, and a smile flashed across his face.
As for being so afraid of the teacher?
Looking at Hu Hai who was writing his homework conscientiously, Fusu couldn't help but think of his naughty younger brother half a year ago.
Although the younger brother is still naughty now, everyone can see the changes in the past six months.
In the past, the gloomy aura that had been raised by the woman in the deep palace had completely dissipated.
Although he still looked at people with sinister eyes from time to time, he was always honest.
In recent days, the servants and palace attendants around him have not seen any injuries on their bodies.
Thinking of this, Fusu smiled dumbly again.
Let’s not talk about Hu Hai today. Even myself today has changed a lot, hasn’t it?
Is he the same now as he was six months ago?
Fusu put down the book in his hand and looked at the starry sky outside the hall in deep thought.
At this time, it reminds him of himself half a year ago...
"well."
Fusu sighed again.
Let him think back on his dark history, and it would be better for him to watch his younger brother do his homework!
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
At least watching Hu Hai write his homework made the two of them suffer together!
.............
After Wang Wu finished his work for the day, he walked briskly towards his home.
When passing by a stall, Wang Wu looked at the things on the stall and stopped involuntarily.
"Take one of this."
Wang Wu handed over the coins in his hand, then took something in one hand and continued walking home.
I still remember that half a year ago, he came off the battlefield and lost an arm.
Although he had no shortage of food and drink thanks to his military exploits and the care of the old general, at that time he was like a walking zombie.
Today, he is a member of the Manufacturing Department.
Although he is not a small official, he still has a decent job, and he will not be sitting on his hands like before.
It didn't take long for Wang Wu to arrive home.
When he opened the door, he saw his wife, Wang Liu, sitting in the courtyard, sewing something.
Wang Wu looked around and saw that it was his own clothes.
The eldest son, the second son, and the third son were running wildly back and forth in the yard, and the younger children seemed to be crazy.
The leaves of the tree in the yard have turned yellow and fall to the ground, making them look desolate when the wind blows.
Wang Wu tightened his robe.
"I'm back."
Wang Wu's wife raised her head and looked at Wang Wu. Although there were some wrinkles on her face, she was still smiling.
"came back?"
"The meal is ready and waiting for you."
"Let's eat."
...........
General's Mansion
Wang Jian had a rare and comfortable winter day. He was lying on his bed at home and almost refused to get out of bed.
Wang Ben looked at his old father and sighed helplessly.
"Father, what are you doing?"
"There is a fire burning in the house, how come you are so cold?"
Wang Jian curled his lips, as if I didn't want to listen: "I always feel that Chen Ke is a lazy guy."
"Now that it's me, I just discovered a truth."
Wang Jian's expression was serious.
Wang Ben was also stunned for a moment. Did the old man really make an important discovery?
"Father, what's the point?"
Wang Jian smiled widely: "Why go out and get cold when you can lie under the quilt?"
"What kind of thing would an idiot do?"
With that said, he wrapped the quilt on the bed tightly around his body again.
"Now that I am this age, do I still want to be like you young people?"
"Go, go, don't disturb my rest!"
Wang Ben looked at his father's expression and held his forehead helplessly.
In fact, my father's health was not very good in the past two years, but starting this year, I don't know when, my father's complexion is getting better day by day.
As long as his father is healthy, what can he say about other things, even if his father is procrastinating and being lazy?
.........
General's Mansion
Meng Tian poured a glass of wine for his brother sitting in front of him, then took a sip and said.
"After the new year, I will probably go to Northern Xinjiang."
After being silent for a moment, he looked at Meng Yi and said, "Second brother, after I leave, the affairs of the Meng family will be completely entrusted to you."
"Maybe you won't let your brother down?"
Meng Yi looked at Meng Tian with the same cautious look on his face.
He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Brother, don't worry! I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Looking at Meng Yi's appearance, a smile flashed across Meng Tian's face.
"When I come back from conquering Northern Xinjiang, I will ask for your Majesty's reward."
"When I take command in Xianyang City, you can join the army!"
Meng Tian raised the wine cup in his hand: "My Meng family has always been killed by thousands of armies!"
"Don't fall into this ambition!"
.........
Outside Xianyang City, the land of Guanzhong
Xu Fu was riding on horseback, looking at the majestic Xianyang City, and his heart finally relaxed.
It was almost the New Year's Eve, and he finally came back from outside.
In three days, it will be time for the emperor to offer sacrifices.
Now he comes back and replaces the sacrificial object with rice that is harvested three times a year. It is not complicated.
If he comes back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow...
Then it's really too late.
Thinking like this, a smile that had not appeared for a long time appeared on Xu Fu's face.
He looked at the people on the left and right and said, "Now that we have arrived outside Xianyang City, how can you and I meet His Majesty with all the dust on our bodies?"
"It's better to stay in a hotel, stay overnight, take a bath and clean clothes, so that when we enter Xianyang City tomorrow, we can meet you directly."
"how?"
The two strong men on the left and right thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Now that we have arrived in Xianyang City, we have arrived at the safest place in the world.
Here, who can steal what the emperor wants?
In this case, let's take a rest here now.
After taking a shower and cleaning clothes, the best way is to meet His Majesty in Jincheng tomorrow.
"I'll wait to hear Mr. Xu's advice."
Xu Fu nodded slightly, and then took the two of them to find the store.
He didn't feel unbalanced when he heard the word "Mr."
When the First Emperor asked him to go search for rice, he was still guilty, so the emperor did not give him any official position.
These two people are from Heibingtai, so being able to call him "sir" is already a sign of great respect.
That night.
After Xu Fu took a bath, he felt like a layer of skin had been washed off his body.
After putting on clean clothes, Xu Fu looked at himself in the bronze mirror and sighed quietly.
"I'm finally back!"
There was emotion and excitement on his face.
Tomorrow, Mr. Mian!
...........
A corner of Baijia Palace.
"boom!"
"bump!"
Late at night, bursts of terrifying sounds sounded from a corner of Baijia Palace.
The sound was like thunder on dry land, as if God was punishing someone.
After a brief period of calm, the Baijia Palace suddenly became noisy.
Everyone got dressed in a hurry and rushed in that direction.
However, when they arrived at that place, they discovered that the people guarding it were Iron Eagle Guards!
Xiao He and the others had serious faces.
They looked at each other and whispered, "Who is here?"
"Why does this happen?"
"What is that sound like thunder on dry land?"
And hurried footsteps sounded in the distance, and people from the Mo family had also arrived.
Zuo Ge looked at the dark courtyard with a blank look on his face.
He looked at Xiao He and asked in a low voice: "Dr. Xiao, what's going on?"
Xiao He also shook his head.
"I do not know."
Since this corner of the Baijia Palace was built, no one has come in or out.
In the past, when I saw it, I could only see the Iron Eagle Guard handle, and the only people who came in and out were the Iron Eagle Guard and the people from the Black Ice Platform.
No serious doctor has ever seen one.
At this time, inside the courtyard that attracted much attention.
There was an excited look on Lu Sheng's face, and his complexion was dark, but it didn't look like he was tanned.
The clothes on his body were all in tatters, as if he had been struck by thunder from the front.
The surrounding environment is messy.
However, this could not conceal Lu Sheng's good mood. He looked at the destroyed alchemy furnace in front of him and just wanted to laugh.
Although he did not study the rules mentioned by the young master, he did study another rule!
Thunder!
He finally understood what combination of things could produce a violent explosion.
What materials were responsible for his several furnace explosions?
"Ahem."
Lu Sheng coughed a few times and swallowed.
"This brother."
He looked at the Iron Eagle guard next to him and chuckled: "Please report this matter to His Majesty tomorrow. Just say that Lu Sheng has made a big step forward on the path of rules!"
"Also, please tell my teacher, just say that I, Lu Sheng, have researched it and completed the test assigned by the teacher that day!"
Lu Sheng picked up a piece of paper from the table. There was something recorded on the paper.
He said with great joy: "By the way, bring it to my teacher!"
"My teacher will understand."
The Iron Eagle guard standing there nodded immediately, handed over the object, and continued to perform his duties.
Lu Sheng, on the other hand, was sitting there, smiling.
Prosperity and wealth are right in front of you!
...........
The next day, early morning.
Outside Xianyang City.
Xu Fu and several people from Heibingtai looked at the towering Xianyang City with excitement in their eyes.
"Enter the palace!"
........
Chen Mansion
Chen Ke finally got up from the bed. Before he could stay in a daze for a long time, someone came outside.
It was said that the First Emperor summoned him to the palace, and that he had to be summoned quickly.
Chen Ke had a look of confusion on his face. While getting dressed, he asked, "Did anyone tell me what happened?"
The person on the side was serving him and said: "Sir, it is a good thing for the chamberlain to speak frankly."
"It seems like someone came back from outside and brought something."
"It seems that Sir knows that thing very well, so His Majesty is the one who summoned you to the palace."
Who is back?
This sentence made Chen Ke no longer sleepy.
He stood up quickly.
"Quick, quick, quick! I want to enter the palace!"
.......
Zhangtai Palace
After burning incense and bathing, Xu Fu was still dark, but he was full of energy.
After he entered the palace, he met the First Emperor, who was as excited as he expected.
Someone even summoned Chen Ke and Chen Shaofu!
Xu Fu didn't wait for a long time. Soon, there was a burst of hurried footsteps.
Chen Ke has arrived.
When Ying Zheng saw Chen Ke, he immediately smiled and waved: "Chen Ke, are you here?"
He pointed at Xu Fu and said, "Xu Fu brought back that thing you mentioned!"
As he said that, he looked at Xu Fu and said, "Take out the things quickly and show Chen Ke a look to see if it's the rice that crops three times a year as he mentioned!"
Xu Fu quickly picked up the rice respectfully, looked at Chen Ke and said, "Young Master."
"This is what you entrusted to the student before. The student has gone through countless hardships, but in the end he has lived up to His Majesty's trust and the young master's entrustment!"
Xu Fu's voice was filled with sadness.
The sufferings endured in the land of Baiyue are not appreciated by outsiders.
Chen Ke just looked at the thing in Xu Fu's hand, with admiration in his eyes.
"Although I can't be sure for the moment that this thing is a sacred thing that is harvested three times a year, I believe that Mr. Xu will not lie to me!"
"Your Majesty, this is great luck for the Qin Dynasty!"
