Deep in the forest.
Hu Hai slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he regained consciousness, he grimaced in pain. Thinking of being beaten violently just now, he became extremely angry. People in Xianyang City asked around, when did his young master Hu Hai get so angry?
Even his father was reluctant to beat him!
The starting point is the orphanage, right?
Everyone is waiting, Naigong is going to shake people now.
When Zhao Gao is brought here, I will kill you all!
"you're awake?"
Hu Hai looked at the face approaching and was suddenly shocked.
"Don't...don't hit me!"
"Do you know who I am?"
"..."
Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian looked at each other.
They get along very well with the children in the orphanage, such as Tang Si, Xiao Huohuo, Xiao Shitou, Ye Fan... When they see the children being bullied, they naturally rush forward to help.
So I didn't pay attention just now, otherwise I wouldn't have beaten him so hard, it was just a couple of kicks at most.
"Eh?!"
"Wait...you guys..."
Hu Hai rubbed his panda eyes vigorously and looked at the child in front of him in surprise. He specifically looked at the portrait before leaving, so he knew the childlike appearance that Li Si and the others were looking for.
That's right, it's these two kids!
Hahaha……
Hu Hai laughed loudly, he was the European Emperor!
Li Si, this idiot, couldn't find it even after sending out so many people. Instead, he was able to see it. Sure enough, he could gain something easily if he took action, but that guy wouldn't let him follow.
What now?
Let him find it!
Hu Hai suddenly stood up, looked at the boy who was much shorter than himself, and said coldly: "Let me tell you, I am Hu Hai, the young master of the Qin State. You once brought the black bird jade talisman to the Dongwu County Temple. This jade talisman is My father wears it personally, where do you hide my father?"
"..."
"..."
Qin Shihuang stared and sighed helplessly.
Of course, they had already guessed what Hu Hai said. The magistrate of Dongwu County was tricked and killed, obviously because of the jade talisman. With Li Si's ability, he must have investigated and found out the county magistrate before his death, including drawing a portrait.
"Why, do you doubt my identity?" Hu Hai clasped his hands with great pride, "If you don't believe me, I can take you to see Prime Minister Zuo right now."
The reason why Hu Hai dared to expose himself was because he knew that these two children had no ill intentions. If they were really bad people, why would they take the jade talisman and go to the county temple to find the county magistrate?
Besides, he really wasn't afraid of these two children. The reason why I was beaten so badly just now was purely because the other party did not follow martial ethics and bullied others with more people than others.
Now there are only two of them, how can he be afraid?
Qin Shihuang was silent for a long time, and then looked at Hu Hai very seriously, "Actually, I am your father."
"Nai Gong is your ancestor!"
"Snapped!"
Qin Shihuang raised his hand and slapped this guy.
"You...you dare to hit me?"
Hu Hai covered his face, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
At this time, Wang Jian sighed and stepped forward helplessly, "Young Master, please don't misunderstand, this is really Your Majesty. After Your Majesty and I fell into the water and woke up, we were eight years old again."
"Haha, do you think I am a three-year-old boy?"
Hu Hai naturally didn't believe such ridiculous remarks.
Qin Shihuang didn't pay much attention.
It may be difficult for him to prove his identity to Cao Xiu. But it would be much easier to prove it to Hu Hai. There are many things that only the father and son know, not even noble ministers like Li Si and Wang Jian.
"eighteen……"
Just as he spoke, Hu Hai's tiger body trembled suddenly. He is ranked eighteenth among the young masters and is the youngest. Therefore, the First Emperor privately called him Shiba, which was equivalent to his nickname.
"When you were three years old, your biological mother died of illness. I still remember that day when it snowed heavily and you didn't understand what life and death were. I'll tell you that your biological mother just fell asleep. That night I held you in my arms at Zhangtai Palace to handle government affairs, while you Ask me, when will mother wake up?"
Hu Hai suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
His pupils shrank and he stared blankly.
Qin Shihuang turned around, looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, and continued to recall the past.
"When he was six years old, Wuluo presented three thousand soldiers and horses. Among them was a black horse that could be called a thousand-mile horse. You are very young, but you like it very much and insist on riding it. Even if Zhao Gao helps you, it is difficult to tame it. , but ended up falling to the ground.”
"A few years ago, Zhao Gao committed a capital crime, and Meng Yi personally tried it. All the officials said that he deserved death. In order to save Zhao Gao, you knelt down in front of Zhangtai Palace and begged me to open my eyes."
"I didn't want to take you out on this year's eastward tour. But you insisted on following me, and even said that you wanted to see with your own eyes the scene of my enshrinement at Mount Tai. When we were touring the coast of the Bohai Sea, you didn't follow me because you were seasick."
"..."
Qin Shihuang said lightly.
Most of these things are only known to him and Hu Hai. Among all the princes, Hu Hai is the one he loves the most. Maybe it's because he lost his mother when he was young, or maybe he's clever and naughty and very lovable.
Hu Hai was petrified on the spot, his eyes red. It turns out that the child Li Si and others are looking for is actually the emperor and Wang Jian?
"Father!"
Hu Hai choked and fell to his knees.
"Get up."
"How could my father become like this?"
Hu Hai always felt strange looking at the emperor who was even shorter than himself. His tall and majestic father had now turned into an eight-year-old child, which he couldn't accept for a while.
Qin Shihuang shook his head helplessly.
"When I was enshrined in Mount Tai, I prayed to God Haotian, hoping to gain immortality. Even if I can't live forever, I just need to lend it to me for another thirty years. There was a storm that night, and I fell into the deep sea with the old master. We will wake up. After arriving, it drifted to Donghai County and returned to youth. Thinking about it, it may be the work of God Haotian."
This is the only explanation Qin Shihuang could think of.
However, God Haotian was obviously mistaken. He did say that he would borrow another thirty years, but didn't he mean that he would be eight years old when he was rejuvenated, so he couldn't extend his life by another thirty years?
Of course, this is actually considered a profit. Such a miracle can further prove that Zhou Nai of the Qin Dynasty followed the heavens. He now has a lot of time to do what he wants to do, enough to expand Qin's territory again!
"Before I visited the east, the shaman in the palace once made a divination for me, saying that there was the Qi of the Emperor in the southeast. I never thought that this Qi of the Emperor was me."
"Then Father..."
Qin Shihuang waved his hand, "I know what you want to ask. At first, I and the old master wanted to go back, but no one believed it. The magistrate of Dongwu County even took my black bird jade talisman as his own. "
"He deserves to die!"
Hu Hai spoke coldly.
His character is very similar to that of the First Emperor, both of them are decisive in killing. Even if he is only ten years old, he is still a bit murderous. Previously, when a maid in the palace made a mistake, he would either beat or scold her, or kill her, because Li Si did not hesitate to discipline her about this matter.
Qin Shihuang was about to talk about what happened next, but suddenly dozens of figures appeared. All of them are murderous, and the leader is Zhao Gao. Seeing that Hu Hai was injured, he jumped out furiously.
"Cry!"
"How dare you untouchables harm the young master?!"
