In Zhangtai Palace, the wind lanterns swayed.
When the lamp oil made from the fat of deep-sea whales burns, it emits a faint fragrance, accompanied by a slight aroma of wine, and fills the Zhangtai Palace.
Zhao Shu and Qin Wangzheng were drinking and talking about the world.
This heart-to-heart talk lasted for a long time.
In the end, Zhao Shu got drunk and fell unconscious on the desk.
Qin Wangzheng looked at the young man leaning on the desk, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes, and then he said to Zhao Gao under the porch.
"Send Gongzi Shu to the small couch in the side hall, and at the same time send a message to his residence. Gongzi Shu will stay in the palace tonight."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Zhao Gao called the servants and carried Zhao Shu away. Only Qin Wangzheng was left in the huge Zhangtai Palace.
After a long time, Zhao Gao sent Qin Wangzheng a hangover soup: "Your Majesty, the hangover soup was just made..."
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Qin Wangzheng picked up the sobering soup and drank it all in one gulp. He was different from Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu could sleep for a day, but he had to deal with political affairs.
At this moment, Zhao Shu, who had been closing his eyes tightly in the side hall, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.
It has to be said that Qin Wangzheng's drinking capacity is astonishing. You know, Qin Wangzheng drank Qin wine, which was extremely strong, while Zhao Shu drank old yellow wine.
When he was halfway through drinking with Qin Wangzheng, he wanted to be drunk. The topic of Qin Wangzheng became more and more sharp.
Zhao Shu had no choice but to pretend to be drunk.
There were some topics that he didn't dare to talk about and couldn't talk about. He believed that Qin Wangzheng also knew about him pretending to be drunk.
This king is too bright and sharp. In this world, there are few things that can be hidden from him.
This is also the reason why Zhao Shu never thought about hiding anything from the beginning.
He knew in his heart that as long as it was not a palace coup or a rebellion, there would not be much difference between him and Qin Wang Zheng.
.........
The next day.
Early in the morning, Zhao Shu left Zhangtai Palace, returned to his mansion, and then practiced every day.
While polishing his Qi and blood, he practiced the Guidance Technique. Although the effect was not great, Zhao Shu never stopped and practiced day after day.
He had already rehearsed every move in his mind countless times, so Zhao Shu's moves were extremely standard.
There were no changes in other aspects, but Zhao Shu could feel that his body's strength had increased over the past few days.
This is a good thing for him.
Living in this era, and having taken over Shanglin New City, he was destined to be in danger all the time.
Therefore, becoming stronger is Zhao Shu's pursuit in his heart. He wants to defeat ten groups at once. At least when the dead men come to visit, he will have the ability to resist.
Rather than certain death.
"Prepare hot water, and then ask Tie Qi to prepare the truck. I want to go to the construction site of Shanglin New City." Zhao Shu withdrew his fists and walked into the dormitory.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Yaoyao turned around and left. She had been by Zhao Shu's side for so long, and she was no longer a simple guard, but a maid.
Because around Zhao Shu, for safety reasons, generally speaking, the only woman who can get close to him is Yaoyao.
As for other people, such as the Korean princess given by King Qin Zheng and the daughter of King Zhao, they were all placed in the wing.
He had never gotten involved or communicated. He had tried once, but there was no communication between them.
The Korean princess is fine, but the hatred hidden deep in the eyes of King Zhao's daughter cannot be hidden at all.
No matter what, he was the one who conquered Handan of Zhao State and destroyed Zhao State.
After taking a hot bath, Zhao Shu changed into clean clothes, walked out of the mansion, boarded the car, and took Yaoyao towards Shanglin New City.
On this trip, not only was Yinwei secretly guarding him, but he was also accompanied by two thousand Iron Eagle warriors, with Tie Qi as the driver.
Once the affairs of Shanglin New City are exposed, he will be the enemy of the world, and countless dead soldiers trained by those aristocratic families and various schools of thought will swarm in.
These two thousand Iron Eagle warriors were his final safety. If it weren't for the concern for the safety of Qin Wangzheng, he would have wanted to call him Shang Gai Nie.
Only with the world's best sword master around can he be considered safe. After all, there are some places where he cannot take the Iron Eagle Warrior with him.
It was naturally impossible for Zhao Shu to arrive at Shanglin New City quietly with two thousand Qin warriors. Zhang Han received the news immediately and rushed to greet him.
"Zhang Han has met the young master!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded, then smiled and said: "Young master, there is no need to be polite. There are no such customs between you and me."
"Young Master, how is the construction of the new city going now?"
Upon hearing Zhao Shu's question, Zhang Han spoke quickly and said, "The only buildings that have been completed so far are the Yin Gong Academy and the Yin Gong Fang."
"In three months, the Yin Palace will be relocated as a whole and merged into Shanglin New City."
"Other than that, the only one that can be put into use is the Confucius Academy. Although it is not large in scale, it can still meet urgent needs."
As a result, Zhao Shu took a sip of the water bag handed over by Yaoyao, nodded, and said: "Okay, let's go to the Confucius Academy first. Please ask the young master to lead the way."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Zhang Han quickly turned to Zhao Shu and said, "Master, please come this way. The Confucius Academy is on the right side of the square in front!"
"Um!"
.......
"Your Majesty, there is news from Luo Wen that Gongzi Shu is heading to Shanglin New City with two thousand Iron Eagle warriors..." Zhao Gao quickly informed King Qin of the news obtained by Luo Wen.
Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng nodded, took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said: "Go to Gai Nie's house and tell Gai Nie that from today on, he will protect the safety of Young Master Shu."
"The emergence of Shanglin New City means that Gongzi Shu's situation is more dangerous than that of the widow."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Zhao Gao turned around and left. He was more or less aware of what Zhao Shu and Qin Wangzheng were planning in Shanglin New City.
But now, the Qin Dynasty has not yet swept the world, and the affairs of Shanglin New City have been overshadowed by the large-scale construction projects of the Qin Dynasty and the name of the tyrant.
So that the world doesn’t understand.
However, not all people in this world are fools, and they will react sooner or later. By then, Zhao Shu will be the target of public criticism.
The incident in Shanglin New City was tantamount to Zhao Shu's self-exclusion from the world. This is why the Qin Wangzheng has always attached great importance to Zhao Shu and almost fully trusted him.
Because Qin Wangzheng knew clearly that Zhao Shu was really for the Qin Dynasty, which was why Qin Wangzheng handed over the Hidden Palace to Zhao Shu and even married Yang Zi to Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu has great talent, and he has a heart that is not afraid of anything for the rise of Great Qin.
In Qin Wangzheng's view, all this is enough. Such Zhao Shu, no matter how much attention it is given, cannot be overstated.
