"Did Xiao Gao also have this idea when he asked me to provoke Zhao Qian?" As soon as Zhou Wu and others left, Zhao Zheng directly asked about what happened many years ago. At that time, Zhao Gao found out about Zhao Qian's bullying of him, and Zhao Gao went to see Guo Kai that day. At that time, he only knew that Zhao Gao wanted to promote Zhao Qian as the prince, but he didn't know why. Now that he thought about it carefully, he realized that Zhao Gao was paving the way for him at that time.
Zhao Gao nodded slightly and said bluntly: "Yes." Zhao Zheng did not forget what Zhao Gao said at that time:
I have my own reasons for doing this, but I can't explain much to you right now. If you believe me, just wait and look back when the time is right in the future, and you will naturally understand the reason.
Can't you say it?
I don't know how to say it.
"Why was Xiao Gao so sure that I could ascend the throne? Can you explain it now?" After saying this, Zhao Zheng found that his tone was a little stiff, and Zhao Gao looked a little confused, and hurriedly added: "It's not that I don't believe in Xiao Gao, because I do, I have rarely asked you in these years, but many things cannot be explained rationally, and I am really confused."
Zhao Gao lowered his head slightly, his eyes became a little misty, and he looked at the ground motionlessly. After a long while, he raised his head again and said: "Zhao Gao doesn't want to deceive the king, but some things are indeed very reasonable and can be explained. Zhao Gao doesn't even know what to say. It’s inappropriate or how should I put it.” After all, time travel is such a thing…
Zhao Zheng sensitively noticed the change in Zhao Gao's title, from "I" to "Zhao Gao". The difference was only one word or two, but the relationship between them was so different. His heart sank, and suddenly he felt a little Regret asking these questions: "Xiao Gao, I'm not forcing you. With the current situation of you and me, no matter what I say, you will have concerns in your heart. I won't force you, but I still want you to know what I said back then. , it’s still my wish now.”
One day I will make these all mine. At that time, Xiao Gao will still stand by my side like this, right?
Indeed, from now on, Zhao Zheng will be the king and Zhao Gao will be the minister. To say that Zhao Gao has no worries is to deceive himself. Since ancient times, there has been no such thing as "forever" in the imperial family. Zhao Gao has no idea where the two of them will go from now on, so he has always been doing the best for the present. Although he is willing to assist Zhao Zheng wholeheartedly and create a prosperous world with him, he is not sure whether Zhao Zheng's heart will always be like this. After all, there are too many variables in the future.
However, although Zhao Gao was confused in his heart, he still felt the uneasiness in Zhao Zheng's heart. He stabilized his emotions and comforted him: "The king asked me to think about it. I will tell the king when I am ready in the future. It is indeed..." Zhao Zheng saw that he was in trouble. He immediately interrupted: "Xiao Gao, you don't need to say more, I'll wait."
At this moment, the two heard an announcement from someone outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the old Guowei and Meng Duwei came over in a hurry and asked to see your Majesty." Zhao Zheng was surprised. There was no war at the moment, and he had just come back. Why did Wei Liao and Wei Liao come back? Master Meng is so anxious. When Zhao Gao heard that Wei Liao was here, he remembered what had happened before to trick him into entering the Qin Dynasty, and he knew that today the paper must be full of anger.
However, Zhao Gao was originally a person who didn't know what blushing was. Now he stood up unhurriedly, and his face regained a leisurely expression, waiting for him. "Please come in quickly." As soon as Zhao Zheng finished speaking, Wei Liao and Meng Wu walked in, pushing each other back and forth. Zhao Zheng saw the two of them coming in together, vaguely aware of their intentions, and suddenly felt a little headache.
However, what no one expected was that when Wei Liao, who was still pushing each other with Meng Wu, saw the plain figure next to Zhao Zheng, he suddenly staggered. Meng Wu on the side was also stunned, thinking: Has this old guy seen a ghost? Following his gaze, I saw a handsome man in his early twenties with a smile standing aside, looking over here.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao suspiciously, as if asking: Xiao Gao, what did you do to the old captain? Zhao Gao noticed his gaze and turned around with a "harmless" smile, which made Zhao Zheng twitch the corner of his mouth and thought with some sympathy: The old Guowei must have fallen into trouble. But then I thought about the good wine in the treasury, and felt unkindly to relieve my anger.
"I've met the king." Wei Liao finally came back to his senses, and even bowed his hands in salute without forgetting to look at the culprit. Meng Wu was not sure, so he also looked at Zhao Gao to find out. "Old Guowei, Master Meng will be excused."
Wei Liao straightened up, looked at Zhao Gao immediately and asked with gritted teeth: "Really the king's teacher?" Zhao Gao nodded truthfully, Wei Liao had never seen his little friend be so honest. Even Zhao Zheng had never seen Zhao Gao look like this before, and he felt it was strange for a while.
Wei Liao smiled and asked again: "How many times have we met?" After hearing Wei Liao's four-character question, Meng Wu didn't know what riddle the two of them were playing, and he was very curious. Zhao Zheng, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. He just ignored the matter and looked like he was watching a good show.
As expected, Zhao Gao didn't know what shame was, so he nodded innocently. Wei Liao said with a dark face: "Take the sword." Zhao Gao nodded funny, turned to look at Zhao Zheng and said: "Can I borrow the king's sword?" After realizing that the two were competing for swords, how could Zhao Zheng refuse? Zhao Zheng didn't watch enough when Zhao Gao took action that day. This time I heard that the two were competing in a sword competition, how could they miss the opportunity. Immediately, someone was sent to bring out several swords for Zhao Gao and Wei Liao to choose.
Meng Wu was completely confused this time. Today he made a bet with Wei Liao to guess who the pretty boy brought back by his king was, so he invited him here to find out. Who would have thought that when Wei Liao met someone and just asked a few irrelevant questions, he would start fighting with them. And it seems that the two of them are not only not bitter enemies, but also very familiar with each other. It is really strange to have such a reaction.
The four of them walked out of the palace and saw Zhou Wu waiting outside. As a guard in charge of the imperial army, he had heard about this early in the morning, so he hurried over to join in the fun. Fortunately, he did not forget the etiquette, and he also knew that he had to give something to his family. The king saluted, and when he saw that his king just glanced at him, he knew that he had tacit approval, and he refused to leave.
But here Zhao Gao calmly picked two swords from the palace servants, handed one heavy sword to Wei Liao, and kept the light sword for himself. Before anyone had time to react, he fought with Wei Liao without saying a word. Meng Wu was dumbfounded, and so was Zhou Wu. How could this person, who looked so polite and courteous, even skip the etiquette for a senior like Captain Liao? As for Wei Liao, the longer he lived, the more he returned, and he actually had the same experience as a young man.
Wei Liao has been practicing swordsmanship since he was young, and has a strong foundation. He follows a vigorous and fierce approach, and he does not show any mercy in his powerful moves. Zhao Gao had studied for less than ten years, and it was obvious that his cultivation was insufficient. However, he unexpectedly chose to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and his movements were graceful and elegant, which was acceptable.
And the strangest thing is that when he competed with a master like Wei Liao, he was at a disadvantage from beginning to end. Wei Liao was merciless, but he seemed to be able to figure out Warrant Officer Liao's tricks every time and come up with ways to resolve it. , so that you will not lose immediately. It was clear that the battle situation was tense, and the calm look on his face made him feel as comfortable as strolling in a courtyard.
After all, he had to deal with assassins that day, so Zhao Zheng didn't dare to be too distracted. This time, he looked so serious without any distractions, and felt restless in his heart. Zhao Gao had always been the most special existence in his heart, but now a different kind of emotion appeared inexplicably in his heart, and he easily noticed it: Could it be that he regarded Xiao Gao as a woman and had such thoughts towards him?
However, looking at it again, Xiao Gao, who was sword-fighting with Wei Liao, had both the masculinity of a man and his usual calmness. The whole person looks as graceful as the moon and as straight as a bamboo. He is clearly a real man. How can he be half as feminine as a woman? Zhao Zheng was at a loss. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do. In such a trance, they didn't even know when the sword fight between the two ended.
"Junior loses." Zhao Gao admitted defeat generously and earned a lot of favor in Zhou Wu's heart. He looked like a pretty boy, but he was indeed a man. Wei Liao curled his lips and said rudely: "My little friend, I have improved a lot in my martial arts these past few years when I have been traveling abroad. I finally did not embarrass me."
Little little little little friend? In other words, the pretty boy is not a senior from ancient times? Zhou Wu even wanted to slap himself on the ear. But at such a young age, at what age did he start working as Teacher Wang? Think about it, if two dolls come together, isn't it like children playing house? What can they learn? These questions popped up one after another, and Zhou Wu was stunned on the spot.
Being brought back to reality by the conversation between the two, Zhao Zheng was afraid that people would notice something strange about him, so he suppressed those thoughts that he shouldn't have, calmed down his emotions and said with a smile: "It turns out that the old Guowei and the teacher have been friends for many years." Wei Liao replied. He said: "The king is laughing at you." Zhao Gao also said: "Zhao Gao's swordsmanship was personally taught by his senior."
Meng Wu was also very surprised when he heard that Zhao Zheng was really calling Teacher Zhao Gao. Originally, he thought that the pretty boy teacher who was rumored by everyone was an empty-faced idiot, but when he followed his friend Wei Liao over to take a look, he found that his popularity and charm were indeed different from ordinary people, and that he had some meaning. Moreover, even Wei Liao was willing to call him "little friend", which shows how capable this man is.
Everyone present knew Wei Liao's temperament to a certain extent, and they were not surprised that since Zhao Gao learned from Wei Liao, the two were not in a master-disciple relationship. Instead, one called the other "little friend" and the other "senior". What I couldn't understand was that if Zhao Gao didn't tell him, everyone present wouldn't be able to tell that his swordsmanship was taught by Wei Liao himself.
"My little friend, it was too late to learn swordsmanship, and it was too slow to take the vigorous path. We had nothing to do in Chu country so we tried some new tricks. Fortunately, the effect was good, so we let him continue to use it." These two people... Everyone didn't know what to say.
Throwing the sword to Zhao Gao, Wei Liao said angrily: "Seeing that you haven't slacked off in swordsmanship over the years, let's forget about tricking me into entering the Qin Dynasty." Zhao Zheng finally knew why the old Guo Wei saw Xiao Gao meeting before The sole of his foot stumbled. Zhao Zheng finally felt a little "comforted" in his heart when he thought that Wei Liao, a senior, had also experienced what he had experienced when he was a child.
He glanced at Wei Liao with some "sympathy", then glanced at Zhao Gao and said: "Old Guo Wei was only deceived by the teacher once, but I have been deceived by him since I was a child. From this point of view, does Old Guo Wei feel better? What?" Nowadays, these people are considered Zhao Zheng's confidants, and most of them are seniors, so he doesn't have so many taboos when speaking, and he doesn't show off as a king at all.
Zhao Gao's "crimes" were made public by Wei Liao and Zhao Zheng, but he himself did not have the slightest sense of being exposed, and he smiled like a gentle man. When Zhou Wu looked at him again, his eyes finally turned into complete admiration.
