my grandfather was qin shi huang

"Brother, I heard from my subordinates that the two old men locked up in the quiet room across the courtyard have become increasingly irritable recently. They are yelling and crying all day long. Especially the old man named Mu Yuan once wanted to hit the wall. He committed suicide. He broke his forehead last time and was saved by the medical officer at home..."

Looking at Zhao Qi's familiar handwriting, Zhao Ying couldn't help but put a hand on his forehead, and then suddenly remembered that there seemed to be two people locked up in his backyard.

Count the days carefully...

He couldn't help but take a breath.

When he left Xianyang, it had just entered late October, and now it was already early December!
Even including the time it took Zhao Qi to write to him, Ji Ziwei and Tian Muyuan were locked in a quiet room for almost more than a month!

"...I am worried that these two people will be of great use to the elder brother. I am afraid that something will happen and it will not be easy for the elder brother to receive him, so I have temporarily placed them in other courtyards to rest. If the elder brother has other arrangements, please let me know in a letter... "

Fortunately, my younger brother is still a little bit thoughtful, otherwise, if he met an honest person and was locked up until he went back, these two people would probably be really useless.

He thought about it for a while and felt that what he did in this matter was indeed somewhat inadequate and needed improvement.

So, he picked up his writing brush and added another sentence at the end of his reply to Zhao Qi.

"...the quiet room is a place for self-cultivation and reflection on the past. The tables, chairs and benches inside must be removed from the edges and corners, and the walls are also covered with a layer of softer sycamore wood. On the one hand, it can isolate the sound and keep quiet, and on the other hand, it can also prevent If problems like self-injury arise again..."

…………

After writing the letter, he immediately put the matter behind him for the time being.

His Royal Highness, the Emperor's Grandson, who is the Governor-General of Jiangnan, has been very busy these days, because now the entire Changsha County, from the county seat to the local area, is in chaos.

From time to time a prophecy pops up, who can bear it?

Don't say he can't stand it anymore.

This time, even the people in the Qin-Zhu Alliance couldn't stand it anymore.

Who is this? This is——

Isn't this idiot a traitor to the imperial court?

How can there be such a way to make trouble?
In the past few days, the Chu region was originally the base camp of the Qin Killing Alliance, especially Changsha and Nanjun, which were the top priorities of the alliance. As a result, the whole plan to kill the Qin Alliance was disrupted by such a commotion. The activities had to be stopped urgently and entered a state of suspension.

The front line has been fully contracted and all personnel are lurking.

Even so, many members also suffered disasters.

This alliance originally followed the elite route. Many members were themselves old Chu nobles or local wealthy families. Of course, there were also some careerists who wanted to get ahead.

As a result, due to such a commotion, the members of Changsha County were directly damaged, and the rest were still in shock. As a result, prophecies spread everywhere.

The people in the imperial court went crazy and plowed almost the entire nine counties of Changsha County.

So, the members who finally escaped from the county town to the local area were caught while still breathing heavily...

"Idiot! Which idiot is he? Are you trying to kill me?"

Many people couldn't help but jump and curse.

But at this point, what else can be done?
Scolding didn't help. The imperial court had already blocked the main roads in various places. It was not easy for them to escape. Of course, most people at this time, let alone escaping, did not even dare to go out to visit friends, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the government. .

After all, they are different from Mr. Jing, Zhang Er and others. They all have families, not just wives and children, but the entire family behind them.

If you don't run, you might still be able to escape. If you run away, you might be fine, but you might as well get into trouble.

Who dares to bet on this?
Of course, there are also those who take advantage of the darkness and run away all night. As long as they bypass the blockade and inspection by the officers and soldiers and go to the deep mountains and forests, or find a place to hide in Yunmeng Daze, the court will be unable to do anything.

……

In the county.

The old man Huangshi, who was trapped in the guest house, was sitting opposite his young apprentice Xu Zheng.He never thought that the situation in Changsha County would change so quickly.

It's like the rabbit rises and the falcon falls.

Eleven well-established local wealthy families in Changsha County muddleheadedly paid for Mr. Jing's desperate move.

In just a few days, the eleven wealthy families that had been here for hundreds of years were wiped out!

"I didn't expect Wood to be a real figure. In order to get rid of the suspicion of colluding with the assassins, he actually attacked the local sages and ransacked their homes and wiped out more than ten families. His ruthlessness and decisiveness are rare in this world..."

Xu Fu stretched out his white wrist, lifted the teapot, filled it with his teacher, and said with a smile.

"The catastrophe has begun, and students think this is just the beginning..."

When the old man Huangshi heard this, he couldn't help but remain silent.

He naturally knew that his most proud disciple was right.This bloody killing in Changsha County is probably just the beginning.And this time, I am afraid that even my master and disciple will really be involved.

"Pack your things. As expected, we will probably have to change places later..."

Old Man Huangshi sighed and waved his hand at Xu Fu.

Xu negative said with a smile.

"Master, I have already packed it up before..."

When Old Man Huangshi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"You are so optimistic about the emperor's eldest grandson..."

Xu Fu winked playfully.

"Master, isn't it the same for you, the old man? Otherwise, how could this mere Changsha County be trapped in the old man, Master..."

Old Man Huangshi waved his hand.

"I'm different from you. I just follow the destiny and follow the trend."

Speaking of this, the old man Huangshi sounded a bit sad.

"In the past, when I was traveling in Peixian County, I saw a man guarded by stars, with a purple aura between his brows but not emitted, and a faint look of an emperor. I thought he was the future master of you and your senior brother, but I never thought that he would appear. The emperor's eldest grandson is such a variable, one of the four nine heavenly beings can be escaped by humans, it is indeed unpredictable and impossible to know..."

"Master, it is precisely because the secrets are unpredictable that this is interesting..."

Xu Fu turned around and picked up a small floral baggage, put a cup on his shoulder playfully, and said with a smile.

"The guests are coming..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the guest house was pushed open from the outside.

"We are old friends of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor!"

Xu Fu took a step forward and looked calmly at the officers and soldiers who broke in.

The man who took the lead happened to be a captain of the Imperial Guard. After hearing this, he looked at Old Man Huangshi and Xu Fu up and down with some suspicion. He saw that although they were wearing plain clothes, they were calm and composed, and they had an extraordinary demeanor. Don't dare to offend rashly.

I can only bow my hand.

"Please old gentleman and this girl, please come with me..."

……

Zhao Ying really didn't expect to see these two old acquaintances in Changsha County after half a year.Seeing Old Man Huangshi and Xu Negi being brought over, I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart. I stood up in a hurry and hurried forward to greet them.

"Ying has met Mr. Huang Shi and Miss Xu Fu. He never expected to meet these two old friends here..."

It didn't matter that Xu lost the legendary female fortune teller. The old man from Huangshi was really famous. He was a real wonder of the world.

Zhao Ying's face was full of smiles, like a spring breeze.

"I pay my respects to His Highness the Emperor's Grandson..." Old Man Huangshi returned the greeting with a smile.On the contrary, Xu Negi, who was more familiar with Zhao Ying, his eyes flashed as soon as he entered the yard, and he looked at Zhao Ying lively. He followed the old man Huangshi to the house, and sat down on one side with the old man Huangshi. He said with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Your Highness is even more handsome than before..."

Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this.

"The girl has also become more and more beautiful and has good eyesight, she is very charming..."

Xu negative couldn't help but chuckle.

"Your Highness is getting better and better at making girls happy..."

Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"I have always been clumsy in articulation and not good at words. I don't know how to say sweet words to make girls happy. I just say whatever I like..."

Old Man Huangshi:...

Looking at the emperor's eldest grandson, who was chatting and laughing with his young apprentice, smiling warmly and looking like he was taking a breath of fresh air, he almost suspected that his current judgment was an illusion.

Is this really the evil, domineering and tyrannical grandson of the emperor who is causing trouble in Changsha County?

But his heart became more and more awe-inspiring.

He felt that the previous ideas of his master and disciple were too dangerous, so it was best to stay away from the emperor's eldest grandson.

"We masters and disciples have traveled all over the place, and this time we just passed by this place..."

When Old Man Huangshi said this, he slightly arched his hands towards Zhao Ying.

"Nowadays, Changsha County is in turmoil and His Highness is busy with official duties. We masters and disciples can't help much, so we won't cause trouble to His Highness here..."

With that said, he stood up to say goodbye.

Such a good tool man - ahem, such a good old friend meets, how can he be let go so gently?

Zhao Ying stood up immediately and spoke sternly.

"Why did Mr. Huang Shi say this? Who do you think I am, Zhao Ying? Do you think you don't think of me, Zhao Ying, as a friend? If you let the two of you leave like this, wouldn't it make people laugh at me, Zhao Ying, for being mean and ungrateful, and not remembering my old friends... …”

Old Man Huangshi:...

Looking at Zhao Ying's expression, "If you leave, you are looking down on my attitude." Old Huangshi didn't know how to answer the question for a while.

He has a wide range of friends, but they are all decent people. Have you ever seen such a rude way of communicating?

"Is there any reason to meet an old friend in a foreign country and miss him face to face? Stay, you must stay! This will also give Ying a chance to learn from the teacher..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying looked around and gave instructions.

"Quickly take Mr. Huang Shi and Miss Xu down to rest..."

After saying that, he smiled and bowed his hands to the old man Huangshi and Xu Fu.

"When Zhang Fucheng comes back in the evening, I will take care of you two..."

Old Man Huangshi:...

Looking at the elites of Great Qin who had already come forward, Old Man Huangshi smiled bitterly in his heart.

Although he was reluctant, he could still distinguish between a toast and a penalty drink.At this moment, all I could do was express my thanks to Zhao Ying.

"In this case, I am disturbing His Highness..."

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and smiled.

"That's right. When old friends meet, there's no need to be so polite. When you get here, you're at home. If you need anything, just tell me. No need to be polite..."

Old Man Huangshi didn't want to say a word, he cupped his hands and looked at the black armor guard beside him.

"That's it, General Lao..."

Miss Xu Fu, on the other hand, didn't seem to be aware of this. When she held Old Huangshi's arm and left, she turned around and smiled at him to say hello to Zhao Ying.

"This person has great fortune and great talents, but he is thick-faced, ruthless, and unscrupulous in his actions. If he is used for good, he can usher in a century of prosperity for the people of the world. If he is used for evil, I am afraid that this person It will become a scourge to the world..."

After the soldiers who sent them to the room to rest left, the old man Huangshi couldn't help but sigh.

Soon there will be no more confusion.

Once you've come, make peace with it. Since you can't escape, let's stay and see what the emperor's eldest grandson has planned.

In the middle of the afternoon, Zhang Liang came back from outside and heard that his master and junior sister had been invited. He was immediately overjoyed and came to see the ceremony in person.

"Liang paid homage to his mentor and met his junior sister..."

Looking at Zhang Liang whose face was full of joy, Old Man Huangshi stared at him calmly for a long time, and then nodded slowly.

"The ovary must be courteous——"

Zhang Liang straightened up and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect students to meet their mentor and junior sister here..."

Zhang Liang learned that Old Man Huangshi and Xu Fu were captured because they were stranded in a guest house in Changsha. He immediately patted his chest and promised that he would personally send his master and junior sister off as soon as the matter was settled.

Old Man Huangshi glanced at him, noncommittal.

Xu Fu stood up and poured a cup of tea for his senior brother with a smile.

"In that case, thank you senior brother for taking care of me..."

Zhang Liang is currently busy with work and cannot stay here with him. After saying hello to his master and junior sister, he stood up to leave and went back to report today's situation to Zhao Ying in person.

After Zhang Liang left, the old man Huangshi sighed inexplicably.

This student, after not seeing him for a long time, is already different from before.Although the words were spoken warmly and thoughtfully, there was no leakage between the inside and outside of the words.

He has no intention of letting himself and Xu Fu leave now.

When Xu Negi saw this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Master, why should you be like this? The fact that our senior brother has performed like this shows that he has lived up to his teachings. Master, shouldn't you be happy?"

When the old man Huangshi heard this, he laughed and cursed.

"You're the only girl who can talk..."

In fact, he was just feeling a little emotional in his heart. For him, he was already very humane, and except for this little apprentice who was around him every day, he rarely cared about it anymore.

In the evening, Zhao Ying arranged for a sumptuous banquet and brought Zhang Liang to invite him to the banquet in person.

He also personally invited the county governor Wood, the county lieutenant Song Wu, who had just returned from outside, and some major officials in the county to accompany him.

Old Man Huangshi and Xu Fu happily went to the appointment.

At the banquet, everyone was chatting, laughing and feasting, and the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful.

Old Man Huangshi seemed to have forgotten the little unpleasantness in the afternoon, and Zhao Ying and Zhang Liang also seemed to have forgotten the mess in Changsha County.It was only later that I saw that the old man Huangshi was a little energetic, so he gave up.

Regardless of Old Man Huangshi's dissuasion, he and Zhang Liang personally sent Old Man Huangshi back to his room. (End of chapter)
