Qin Hu

Chapter 149 Counseled baby travels thousands of miles, I am worried...he is a ghost!
It was late at night on the seventh day of Zhao Zihu's voyage, and it was also the night when he was about to arrive at Zhifu on his return voyage.

East patrol camp, inside the imperial tent.

Ying Zheng was fighting at night while holding candles, killing Zhao Gao so much that he threw away his armor and shouted, "Your Majesty, don't come again."

At this time, the two sat cross-legged facing each other, with a small table in the middle, and a thick hexagonal wooden chessboard was placed on the table. On the chessboard, there were ten pieces that looked like pearls of two colors, white jade, agate, etc. made.

There are four small drawers at the feet of the two of them, and there are also ten four-color jade beads in each of them. Looking at the dozens of small holes hollowed out on the chessboard and the layout of the chess, they are clearly playing checkers.

Hearing that Zhao Gao begged for mercy again, Ying Zheng also put down the agate in his hand, stood up slowly, glanced at the flickering candle on the imperial case, and walked towards the door, feeling the slightly salty sea breeze. Post the tent curtain and blow in.

Standing still by the curtain, squinting his eyes to feel the night outside through the gap, he sniffled subconsciously, and asked worriedly: "Tell me, when is this?"

"Return to Your Majesty! It's already late on the seventh day of your son's voyage." Zhao Gao didn't rush to clean up the mess, but followed the emperor's back with his eyes.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly when he heard the words, and let out a heavy "Yeah", obviously blaming Zhao Gao, is this what I'm asking?
Stop pretending!You are just worrying about that stubborn clan tiger...

Thinking funny in his heart, Zhao Gao could only say embarrassingly on the surface: "Huh? Just passed the second watch!"

"Li Couna sent a small boat back to report that he saved a Yue man. We need to go deep into Dongou first, how long has it been?"

"It's been four days!"

"Hey! You said, it's been seven days. Why is there still no news from the baby?" Ying Zheng stroked his beard, feeling quite melancholy.

The corner of Zhao Gao's mouth twitched, feeling helpless, but he wouldn't say anything like "Girls and auspicious people have their own appearance".

After pondering for a while, he said with a smile: "Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years! Your Majesty. If there is no news, it is a good thing..."

If you let Meng Yi do this?No.He wouldn't think that way at all, and he wouldn't say it!

If it were someone else who said this, it would be considered trivial if Ying Zheng didn't pick up the candlestick and smash the opponent to death on the spot.

But Zhao Gao was different. When he said this, the emperor would just smile and flick his fingers.

"You? You old cunning. Could it be that Diao Chan's girl doesn't care about her baby..."

So what about my daughter's concern?

Your Majesty, do you think that my future father-in-law is not nervous about him?

Whoever made you so confused sent him out to sea...

Just thinking like this, Zhao Gao heard the emperor ask again: "I don't know what kind of danger the counselor will encounter if he goes deep into the Eastern Ou?"

Seeing that he was silent and didn't know what he was thinking, Ying Zheng sighed again: "That's all! Leave him alone and continue playing chess."

Ying Zheng returned to his position again, quickly cleaned up the mess, and picked out another pearl made of basalt for himself.

"Black still looks more pleasing to the eye! What are you doing in a daze? Go on, go on." He urged Zhao Gao.

"Speaking of which, it's really interesting what kind of checkers the counselor played for the group of 'Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles'..."

Zhao Gao looked at the emperor seriously, and said, "Your Majesty! It's time for you to rest. This game has been played for four days!"

"Eh? Is there? Yes, yes. How about changing chess? What about the Great Qin and Rome, separated by the Suez River, it feels extraordinary!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao persuaded again, and at the same time secretly sighed, I am a duplicity emperor, Your Majesty!You don't want to take care of that clan's stubborn tiger...

If you really don't want to worry about it, can you play with the things he made for several days in a row?

Can you send Zhao Tuo and more than a hundred elites, and send out a clipper ship to support?
"That's enough, that's enough! You can rest after killing two more games of chess, it's okay." Ying Zheng waved his hand irritably. He couldn't feel at ease these days when he didn't see the baby.

Just at this time, he seemed to suddenly hear a drumbeat sounding from the sea in the distance. The drumbeat shattered the silent night, and kept stirring his heart, making it even more agitated.

"Listen, did you hear..."

Ying Zhengjiong opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhao Gao. Seeing the favorite minister nod his head, he was overjoyed. He got up abruptly and was about to run out: "It's the coward, it must be the coward's back!"

Maybe it's just that Zhao Tuo didn't find anyone, and maybe he came back.Zhao Gao smiled wryly, hurriedly caught up a few steps, and reminded loudly: "Your Majesty! Hey, Your Majesty! Shoes, your shoes..."

Ying Zheng's movements froze for a moment before he came to his senses, turned his head and smiled, and let Zhao Gao approach, squatting down to put on his shoes, while he listened to the little old man's rambling.

"Besides, this place is still a hundred miles away from Zhifu Wharf. You don't even wear shoes. Are you planning to fly there? Your Majesty."

At this moment, Zhao Gao looked like an old mother.In his eyes, Ying Zheng turned into a reckless child.

"Yes, yes! Prepare the ship, quickly prepare the ship..."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, put on his shoes, and walked out of the imperial tent quickly.But thinking about it, he thought it was not very good, so he folded it back again.

He snorted and said: "I am the Emperor of Qin! He is the father of the cowardly baby! How can there be any reason for a father to pick up his son with great fanfare? You have to let that kid obediently come to see me."

If so, Ying Zheng simply kicked off his shoes again, lay down on his side on the couch, and asked Zhao Gao to pass the decree again.

"Your Majesty! If you are really returning home, it will take at least half an hour to meet you from Zhifu."

The corners of Zhao Gao's brows trembled. He was reminding the emperor that there is still a long time. Are you sure you can wait?
What else could Ying Zheng do? He wanted to pick it up just now, but felt he couldn't go. He couldn't change his mind now.

He had no choice but to put on a straight face and waved his hands at Zhao Gao, expressing that there was no need to say anything, it was such a happy decision.

But soon, Yingzheng tasted the pain. He felt that the time was like a year, and his heart was tormented.

However, on Zhao Zihu's side, He Zouyao and Wu Zhu ate wine and meat on the clipper boat.

It was discovered that Zhao Tuo was sent to support him, and everyone gathered together, not to mention how happy it was...

For Zhao Zihu's safe return, Zhao Tuo even persuaded the two tribal leaders to surrender, and went to the court in person, beating the war drums on the boat loudly.

"Congratulations to Mr. Daqin and Captain Tie Yingrui, who have achieved extraordinary achievements and returned to the voyage..."

"Congratulations to Mr. Daqin and Captain Tie Yingrui, who have achieved extraordinary achievements and returned to the voyage..."

Before the two flying shear boats landed, the common people and nobles at both ends of Zhifu Island and Yantai were alarmed.

People not only spontaneously gathered to the shore, waved and cheered, but also gradually shouted along with the slogan on the ship.

Xuanqi was fluttering, gongs and drums were ringing in the sky, Zhao Zihu, Xiangliyue, Wuzhu, Zhao Tuo, Shi Lu and others got off the boat, and before they could get a firm footing, they saw Zhao Gao parting from the crowd and walking towards him quickly .

"I've seen you, son! Your Majesty wants you to go to the imperial tent to meet him immediately!"

Zhao Gao bowed his hands respectfully, but his eyes glanced at Zou Yao and Wu Zhu behind Zhao Zihu, and while he had a guess in his heart, he was also very surprised.

Listen to the shouting around...

Could it be that the stubborn tiger of the clan really won the battle and persuaded the leader of Dongou?
This is too outrageous!

Thinking of this, without waiting for Zhao Zihu to explain, Zhao Gao immediately waved to the attendant beside him, and whispered in his ear: "Go! Go and report to His Majesty that the leader of Baiyue has also been brought back by the young master. Hurry up!"

Seeing the situation, Zhao Zihu didn't say much anymore, just nodded, then held the hands of the two leaders from left to right, followed Zhao Gao with big strides.

Zou Yao and Wu Zhuhe had never seen such a battle before, they just felt a little flattered, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

In fact, after getting on the clipper boat and seeing Zhao Tuo, they understood that it was worthwhile to take the risk to come to Daqin.

In the past, they would never have imagined in their dreams that a majestic son of the Qin Dynasty would be able to meet his subordinates and the common people in Guizhou, and be as friendly and easy-going as he was with his brothers and buddies, without any pretensions at all.

This way of treating people cannot be pretended.Including themselves, even if they show how much they love the people like children, they still feel alienated from the people in terms of identity and status...

With such thoughts in mind, the two of them, under the leadership of son Zihu, followed Zhao Fuling to board the building boat, turned to Yantai Wharf, and walked to meet the rumored "sweeping Liuhe" Great Qin Shihuang.

However, when they were approaching the imperial tent and Zhao Fuling went in to make an announcement, Zou Yao and Wu Zhu heard a vigorous and excited voice coming from it.

"Here we come! My good boy, I am finally willing to come back. Zhao Gao, like this! It's getting late today, and the two chiefs are very tired after a long journey. Let's arrange for them to rest first. I will meet you tomorrow..."

"Only~"

Zhao Gao quickly backed out again, looked at Zhao Zihu playfully, and then said to Zou Yao and Wu Zhu: "Bosses, please follow me."

How could the two of them have any other thoughts, they glanced at each other, and felt that the First Emperor was too sympathetic to him, so they hurriedly followed Zhao Fuling's pace.

However, they didn't go far, they heard another shout from the imperial tent.

"Don't let me get out!"

Zou Yao and Wu Zhu suddenly felt that there seemed to be an invisible pressure released from it, and their hearts trembled.

"Ahem! Two leaders. Please?"

Zhao Gao reminded again: "This is only the emperor's family matter! You two don't need to care too much."

Suddenly regaining consciousness, Zou Yao and Wu Zhu also hesitantly, bowed their hands to the Zhao Fuling to express their gratitude, and walked out of the camp without any further hesitation.

Zhao Zihu who heard the roar of kissing Laozi curled his lips in disapproval, waited for a while, and then stepped into the imperial tent.

As soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw that Ying Zheng was still wearing loose casual clothes, lying on his side on the couch, but his clothes and hair were messy, and his feet were bare. Zhao Zihu himself made all kinds of chess games.

When Ying Zheng saw the baby, he blew his beard and stared: "Speak up! What should I do?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong with me? Father, I brought you two younger brothers!" Zhao Zihu asked knowingly, and gave his thumbs up to show his merit.

Hearing Couna's words, Ying Zheng grinned and smiled: "Oh! So, instead of punishing you, I have to reward you?"

"Don't dare!" Zhao Zihu raised his eyebrows triumphantly.
