"Your Majesty, continue walking along the Amu Darya River. Not far beyond, we will reach the territory of the Sogdians. Perhaps we can rest there temporarily..."

Lu Duozan is the Prime Minister of Dawan, and he knows a lot about this small country that lives next to Dawan.

In fact, it was precisely because of Lu Duozan's suggestion that Jiang and his party trekked along the Amu Darya River to this point. The Sogdians were weak and occupied the most fertile grassland along the Amu Darya River, which was the ideal place for Jiang and his party to settle.

Who would be willing to leave their hometown if they were not forced to do so?
In fact, not far from Xisai City, many people and soldiers of Dawan Kingdom did not want to continue their journey westward. This was one of the reasons why Jiangji chose this place as his foothold.

What they didn't know was that just when they were about to arrive in Marakanda, also known as Samarkand, not far from them on the Upper Amu Darya River, there was a tired team knocking on the door. Opened the tents of local herdsmen.

Although these herdsmen were wary of this group of travelers wandering from nowhere, they could not change their fate at all.

When Xihou Qiujue and others determined that the weapons, equipment and strength of this tribe were far inferior to theirs, they did not hesitate to raise the bright curved weapons in their hands towards the herdsmen who had warmly entertained them just now. knife.

Jiangya from Dawan and the Kushan tribe from Yuezhi, two completely different tribes, at this moment, invariably made the same choice.

The cry of killing spread everywhere, and even the old man who could still climb on the horse took up his hunting bow again. However, although the Kushan tribe was vulnerable to the might of the Qin Dynasty, the powerful Yuezhi civilization , still completely crushed this weak tribe in the upper reaches of the Amu Darya River.

After a while, Xihou Qiujiu looked at the gathered small tribe of only a hundred people with cold eyes.

All the old men and young men in the tribe were killed without hesitation. The only ones gathered together were numb women and trembling children.

"Women are all assigned to the brothers in the clan. Children, anyone taller than a wheel will be killed!"

As soon as these words were said, several more children hiding in the crowd were forcibly pulled out and their heads were chopped off with a knife.

Merger on the grassland has always been so simple and crude.

Over the long years, they have become accustomed to killing and being killed. This is almost the unchangeable fate of the tribes living on the grassland.

……

It was at this time that Gongzi Gao's fleet finally arrived in Xianyang.

Looking at the lush willows on both sides of the Wei River, as well as the wheat that has begun to joint and ear in the fields, a trace of emotion flashed in Gongzi Gao's eyes.

"Time flies so fast. I remember when I just took people away, the wheat on both sides of the river had not yet turned green. Now in the blink of an eye, it is almost the harvest season -"

Listening to Gongzi Gao's emotion, Ge Jun couldn't help but move his eyes slightly, and turned back to look at Gongzi Gao.

"Sir, are you going to go directly to Xianyang like this? Have you ever thought about how to explain to His Majesty..."

Young Master Gao turned around and corrected Ge Yun's words seriously.

"Sir, this is not an explanation, but an apology——"

Ge Jun:......

I have never seen such a stubborn person!

At that time, the league was blind and chose such an upright and honest person as the target of speculation.

At that time, Lu Matong, who was behind him, smiled and broke the subtle awkwardness between the two.

"Mr. Ge, don't worry. Although Madam was confused for a moment and implicated the young master, the Emperor's grandson has always been kind and values ​​affection and righteousness. It is expected that he will not be too harsh..."

Speaking of this, Lu Matong joked.

"Maybe, before we even entered Xianyang, His Highness got the news and personally sent people to greet us..."

Ge Jun smiled bitterly.

"I hope so……"

In fact, the main reason why he repeatedly wanted to teach Young Master Gao a set of "please apologize" rhetoric was because he wanted to take the opportunity to pluck himself out. After all, he was also the man recruited by Madam Donghai.

However, the others either stayed at the Fourth Young Master's house to assist Lady Donghai, or went to Yuyang County and took refuge under Jingyuan Marquis, or went to Yanbei County under Xiang Yu to serve as advisers.

Only I, because my family was engaged in business at sea, was assigned to the sea to assist the fourth young master in front of me, and I luckily escaped.

but--

Under the nest, have the eggs finished?
When Mrs. Donghai fell, he was always involved. At this time, Gongzi Gao's explanation became extremely important. But this...

Looking at the young master Gao who tied his hands and was determined to plead guilty to the first emperor and the emperor's grandson in person, he couldn't help but secretly sigh.

The current plan can only be done one step at a time.

I just hope that I can escape by chance.

If not...

He couldn't help but flash his eyes and lowered his eyelids slightly.

As soon as the fleet passed the seaport, he made an excuse to send a secret letter back to his family. According to the itinerary, his family should be ready to set sail and escape overseas at this moment. .

Just when his thoughts were confused, his originally scattered eyes suddenly condensed.

Because, he suddenly saw that a pair of men and horses actually rushed out of Xianyang City in the distance and greeted them from a distance. What shocked him the most was that when he looked at the car from a distance, the hood turned out to be the size of an emperor!

The First Emperor personally welcomed him?
As soon as this thought flashed across his mind, he killed it.

Your Majesty has no reason to come out to greet a young master like him. No matter how great a young master he is, he still does not deserve your personal welcome.

"It's the emperor's grandson!"

Ge Jun couldn't help but move his eyes slightly, and turned his head to look. Lu Matong, who still didn't know what happened, reminded him with a complicated mood.

Lu Matong then patted his thigh belatedly.

He excitedly approached Gongzi Gao.

"Young Master, Young Master, let me tell you, let me tell you, how can His Highness blame you for your faults? Look, I am not going out of the city to greet your uncle in person..."

Young Master Gao had been in Xianyang for a long time, and without Ge Yun's reminder, he had already guessed what was going on in the car in the distance. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and his nose was slightly sore.

The group of people in the distance came very quickly, and in the blink of an eye they were completely within sight.

At this time, standing on the bow of the ship, you can already see that the current chariot is the chariot of the First Emperor. However, the person standing on the chariot is not the First Emperor, but a tall and burly man with high spirits, but always with a gentle look on his face. Smiling young man.

Isn't he the current grandson of the emperor who oversees the country, the champion general, and the governor of Hexi County Zhao Ying!
"When I heard that my fourth uncle had returned to Xianyang in person, my nephew Ying was overjoyed and asked my eldest father for the job of going out of the city to welcome him——"

Before Gongzi Gao's fleet could stop, Zhao Ying jumped off the carriage from a distance and greeted Gongzi Gao with a smile on his face, laughing as he walked. "During this period, my fourth uncle led our Great Qin's fleet to become famous overseas and opened up territory for our Great Qin. However, I am so envious of my nephew that I wish I could replace him with my own body..."

When he walked up to Gongzi Gao, he stared at Gongzi Gao's tightly tied arms and was shocked.

"Fourth uncle, what's wrong with you?"

After saying that, his face was as gloomy as water, and he glanced at the people behind Young Master Gao with an unkind expression.

"Who is so bold as to tie up my fourth uncle? Is this how you help my fourth uncle?"

Zhao Ying had been in a high position for a long time and had commanded the three armies. He had already developed his own power. At this time, when he got angry, the atmosphere along the Weishui River suddenly condensed. No one dared to look up at Zhao Ying. Even Ge Yun, who prided himself on being strong and calm in his work, could not help but feel his heart sinking. He subconsciously averted Zhao Ying's gaze and did not dare to look at him.

Lu Matong, who personally helped Young Master Gao tie his hands, couldn't help but feel his legs weaken and almost fell to his knees on the spot.

"Your Highness, it has nothing to do with them, it's what I asked them to do..."

In the end, it was Young Master Gao who broke the atmosphere on the shore and stepped forward to persuade Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but be surprised.

"Fourth uncle, why are you..."

Young Master Gao stepped forward with a look of shame.

"It was my lax discipline and neglect of supervision that allowed the ignorant woman in my family to commit such an unforgivable mistake—"

Having said this, the young master raised his head and spoke very sincerely.

"The woman was ignorant and short-sighted, which is why she made such a big mistake. She made a mistake out of ignorance, and of course she deserves to be punished. But in the final analysis, the reason why she made the mistake was because she preferred me as my husband, and she wanted to plan for me out of her own cleverness - -Although I am very distressed, what qualifications do I have to say that it has nothing to do with me, so I tie my hands and want to apologize to His Majesty and His Highness personally..."

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He bent down and personally untied the rope from Young Master Gao's arm.

"Fourth uncle, why do you have to suffer like this?"

Holding Young Master Gao's arm, Zhao Ying spoke sincerely.

"Fourth Uncle, during this period of time, you have been alone overseas, opening up territory for our Qin Dynasty, giving favors to His Majesty, and educating the people overseas. This is a great achievement that can leave your name in the annals of history and be passed down to future generations. What's more, in What happens thousands of miles away from you has nothing to do with you..."

Young Master Gao looked ashamed.

"A person's family has made a mistake. As the head of the family, how can you say that you are not at fault..."

No wonder this fourth uncle volunteered to die for the sake of his family. He was so honest and responsible, so there was no way he would try to accuse himself.

Looking at the ashamed face of Young Master Gao, Zhao Ying couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

"Fourth uncle, our country of Qin is based on law, and rewards and punishments have always been clear. Merits are merits, mistakes are mistakes. If you are determined to do this, aren't you afraid of destroying the prestige of our laws..."

When Young Master Gao heard this, his expression froze.

Although he knew that this was his eldest nephew who was deliberately exonerating himself, Zhao Ying focused on this, and it was obvious that he really had no intention of pursuing his uncle's fault.

The look on his face couldn't help but become more and more ashamed.

But he no longer insisted on asking for forgiveness.

He is an upright man with a simple and honest temperament, but he is not naive. At this time of the storm, his eldest nephew went out of the city to greet him in person. In fact, he was sending a very clear signal to everyone in the court.

That is not sinful!
This is the attitude of my eldest nephew, and I am afraid it is also the attitude of my old man.

Young Master Gao tied his hands and went to Xianyang to plead guilty.

How could it be hidden from the eyes of some people in Xianyang City?
In fact, as soon as Gongzi Gao's fleet entered the sea, news quickly spread to Xianyang. Countless people secretly looked sideways, waiting for the follow-up of this incident.

When they saw His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun driving the First Emperor's car and personally coming to greet him, everyone had an accurate idea in their hearts.

Therefore, when Zhao Ying and Young Master Gao stood on the carriage of the First Emperor and slowly entered the city, when they just reached the gate of Xianyang City, countless people were already pouring out of the city gate to welcome the honorable emperor. The fourth son is tall.

"Aweng——"

Seeing Zhao Wan, who was standing side by side at the front of the crowd with Xiang Yu, the young master who had obviously lost weight, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Wan'er, virtuous son-in-law, why are you here -"

Young Master Gao naturally noticed Zhao Wan standing side by side with Xiang Yu in the crowd, and a look of surprise could not help but appear on his face. There was no need for Young Master Gao to speak. Zhao Ying had already stopped the team and jumped out of the carriage first. Then he turned around and personally helped Young Master Gao to jump out of the carriage.

"Xiang Yu has met his father-in-law and the emperor's grandson——"

When Xiang Yu saw the two men getting off their horses, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"A good son-in-law, a family, no need to be too polite -"

Young Master Gao glanced at his daughter without leaving any trace, and saw that although his eyes were red, her eyes were round and round, and her complexion was shiny and shiny. He knew that Xiang Yu, the son-in-law, had not treated his daughter badly, and the smile on his face could not help but disappear. A little polite, but a little more sincere.

At this time, another minister who was familiar with the city came forward to pay tribute to Zhao Ying and the young master.

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded in greeting, and Young Master Gao returned the salute humbly, and then he said with a sincere expression.

"Thank you all for welcoming me. However, today I have to go to the palace to meet His Majesty. I cannot stay for long. I will hold a banquet at your residence on that day to thank you all for your deep friendship——"

"That's what you should do. Young Master, just go on your own..."

"Sir, see you another day..."

"..."

Looking at his cousin who was leaning next to Gongzi Gao, reluctant to leave, with slightly red eyes, Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and looked at Xiang Yu and Zhao Wan with a gentle smile.

"Fourth uncle is entering the palace today. I'm afraid my eldest father has to leave some food for you. Why don't you two come too? Speaking of which, His Majesty was still talking about you yesterday, saying that we haven't seen each other for a while..."

When Zhao Wan heard this, she couldn't help but look happy.

"Brother, is it really okay?"

Looking at Zhao Wan's surprised and happy expression, Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh. He nodded vigorously and immediately reached out to help his younger sister onto the carriage. Then, he looked at Xiang Yu with a smile.

"General Xiang, my fourth uncle is entering the palace today. Could you please join us temporarily to enhance your prestige?" (End of Chapter)
