Chapter 531: Killing with a Borrowed Knife (Please book all the monthly tickets for rewards!)
Xiao He patted his thigh, "So that's it. No wonder the prince drove to Pei County and summoned me. He had never met me before, but he only met me once. He believed that I have the ability to govern the world and the talent to assist."
Seeing that Xiao He believed it to be true, Fusu himself also strengthened his new memory.
After all, the Yanguan who had been following him on one side was recording what Fusu had just said.
Regardless of whether Xiao He can do anything in the future, this bizarre incident has already been recorded in the history books.
Legend has it that the prince of Qin had a dream after attacking Chu. He followed the instructions in the dream and traveled thousands of miles to Peixian County, far away from the battlefield of Chu. Later, he actually found a man named Xiao He and named him the prince. Give up others.
If the other party did not show any talent for governing the country in the future, historians would elaborate and say: It is a pity that this person named Xiao He has no talent. The prince was young and frivolous, and traveled thousands of miles to find talented people for his dreams, which was quite like the style of the previous king.
If the other party shows the ability to govern the world, this will be another eternal story that everyone will like.
The prince helped Su Ye Meng Immortal and got his advice, and drove to Peixian County, where he met the sage Xiao He.
Some people will comment that Fusu inherited the destiny and used this strange thing to enhance the legitimacy of Fusu's rule.
"This must be God's will. I originally doubted whether there really was a place like Peixian County in the world, but when I saw the map, it was true. Then I rushed over and verified that you are indeed there."
After Xiao He heard this, his doubts were finally eliminated. Now he could work for Fusu with peace of mind.
Of course, after Xiao He heard what Fusu said, he couldn't help but sympathize with Fusu.
The prince is young, and there are so many untrustworthy people around him who come to find him based on just a dream. How helpless he is to do such a thing.
"Prince, don't worry, the person I recommend for you will definitely be loyal to you, and he will become the prince's arm in the future."
"It couldn't be better, it couldn't be better. Come on, do it again."
Fusu was drinking, but he was wondering why the person recommended by Xiao He was not Liu Ji. . .
Fusu wanted to check on Liu Ji, but he was afraid that the smart people around him would see the clues and make things more complicated.
If a person who understands the general trend and all the details of history gets along with a group of people who are kept in the dark, if he does things that are too different, he will definitely be rejected.
Xiao He was so happy that he drank a few more drinks and fell drunk. He helped Su Ming and Guan Fu sent the two of them down to rest.
He returned to the side room to deal with official documents.
As expected, Wang Ben ordered Ren Xiao to pursue the Chu people and attack the land of Wu and Yue. He also ordered Li Xin to march south and pursue the Chu people who fled to southwestern Guizhou.
It is better to let them fight among themselves than to divide the pie by themselves. As a prince, no matter how he divides the pie, some people will always feel it is unfair.
Fusu closed the silk book.
It was already dark, and Qu Feng walked in at the right time.
"Prince, I have something to say in the end, I don't know whether to say it or not..."
Feng Jing looked at Qu Feng and then at Fusu. You don't need to think twice to know what Qu Feng is going to say. But he knew without thinking that Qu Feng was going to be in trouble.
Fusu also guessed what was going on.
"Go ahead."
Qu Feng saw that Fusu had always been gentle and easy to talk to, and was not as forceful as the king at all, so he spoke out.
"The generals and others originally didn't know what the prince was doing when he came to Peixian County. Now I know that the prince is just looking for talents based on a dream. Although the prince is the crown prince of the country, he has been blessed by the ancestors of the Qin Kingdom and protected by the gods. Guidance is also natural.”
"But today the prince successively named Lu Ze as the lieutenant general, and also named Xiao He, whom he had just met twice, as the prince's sacrificial prince."
"Although these two people are different from ordinary people, they have not made any achievements at all. They even dare to recommend a mere backup Qin official to be beside the prince. It shows that Xiao He does not have a long-term vision."
"The two of them have no merit, but the prince rewards them. The soldiers below are all dissatisfied."
Fusu raised his head and looked at Qu Feng, "Well, what you said makes sense. I think you will be the crown prince from now on."
Qu Feng was naturally excited when he heard it.
The prince only pretends to be cute and humble in front of the king. If he were allowed to be the prince, he would not put so much effort into giving advice and planning for the interests of those common people who have nothing to do with him.
Just as Qu Feng smiled, he suddenly realized that the eyes of the people around him were falling on him.
He finally realized what the prince had just said.
"Prince, the last general made a mistake. The last general was worried about the prince, so he made a mistake." Big beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Qu Feng's face.
"I'm afraid this is what you really think." Fusu looked at Qu Feng coldly.
Qu Feng knelt down directly and said, "Prince, you have always been the most kind-hearted person. There is no one in the palace who does not think that your virtue is true. Qu Feng was just a slip of the tongue, and there was absolutely no intention of arrogance in his heart. , an unreasonable thought.”
"Yeah. I believe you."
Fusu stared at Qu Feng extremely calmly.
The people around were also shocked by Fusu.
"I know that your task of protecting me when I come to Pei County this time is difficult. Let's forget about it this time."
Everyone looked at Fusu and sighed that Fusu was so tolerant to others.
But Zhao Tuo and Feng Jing, one of them didn't believe that the dignified prince had no power, and the other had seen Fusu's methods and didn't believe that Fusu would really let Qu Feng go like this.
Qu Feng was startled by Fusu, but he was let go easily by Fusu, and he felt even more lucky.
After all, in his mind, he thought Fusu was just an expert at fishing.
"From now on, you will be responsible for protecting Xiao He. You will personally pick up Xia Houying tomorrow."
Qu Feng's face suddenly tightened, "Yes, I obey."
After Qu Feng left, Feng Jing couldn't help but said, "I didn't expect that General Qu would be such a person. He has been in the palace for five years and has been serving the prince. I didn't expect that he would dare to say such a thing."
"You sent people to keep an eye on him." Fusu looked at Feng Jing, "If he does anything inappropriate, come back and tell me."
Feng Jing agreed.
When he went back to rest, Feng Jing suddenly noticed something.
The prince knew that there was an informant of his in this Tiger Guard...
Thinking of this, Feng Jing's scalp went numb. Did he drag Lu Ze over today to expose him, or the prince already knew about it.
It was late at night, and Zhao Tuo was still guarding Fusu. He's on duty tonight.
"Zhao Tuo, we may leave Peixian County at any time. Go down and prepare yourself, but don't let outsiders know."
Zhao Tuo's eyes widened. Although he didn't understand why the prince arranged it, he wouldn't ask any more questions.
"only."

Early the next morning, Xiao He woke up from his sleep and found that he was in the post house and had not gone home all night, so he immediately became anxious.
"There is no need to worry, Mr. Xiao She. I sent someone to deliver a letter to your residence last night."
Qu Feng appeared in front of Xiao He at the right time.
"The prince said, please go and invite Xia Houying first. The prince wants to see him." Xiao He hesitated, "General, can you allow me to go see my family first. Xiao He drank too much yesterday. Not only did he forget to go home, I didn’t even have time to tell Xia Houying, he might not be able to agree on the spot.”
Qu Feng was angry. He didn't even understand the status of Prince Sheren. How could he deserve to sit in this position?
The prince is really unfair.
Qu Feng still smiled, "Don't worry about this person. When he arrives, all you need to say is that you recommended him. Now that the prince has summoned him, he dare not not come."
Xiao He heard this and felt that this was not Fusu's original intention.
But right now, he had no better way but to go see Xia Houying first.
"Can you please ask the general to send someone to inform my family again on my behalf. I will definitely rush home in the evening. Please ask the general to send someone to the county. There are already two judgments on my case. The things have been written. I just need to follow the instructions The case above can be closed.”
He agreed with full mouth. But in his heart, he felt that Xiao He was ordering him to do something.
Although Zhongshu Sheren has such power, he is now on the line.
Originally, Qu Feng couldn't hold his head up when the prince scolded him in front of everyone yesterday. Now Xiao He ordered him like this, which made Qu Feng even more angry.
Do you know who came first?
"Don't worry, Sheren, I will definitely do it."

Xia Houying was weaving baskets at home. There was a horse tied to a tree stump beside him, and a manger carved out of wood was filled with fresh grass.
Xia Houying picked these in the ditch. He was worried that the autumn grass was too old and the horses would not like it.
This horse was extremely strong, with shiny fur and piercing eyes, but it also had a violent temper. No one except Xia Houying dared to ride it.
It's just a pity that this horse was raised for the Pei County government.
But even so, Xia Houying still raised him as his own son.
As a person who loves horses, raising a horse for the government for free is a good job that Xia Houying found for himself.
He served the horse every day. Liu Ji always looked disdainful when he saw Xia Houying looking at the horse. His wife also shook her head when she saw Xia Houying serving the horse.
Xia Houying's wife came to collect the clothes and saw Xia Houying smiling at the horse while weaving baskets.
“I’ve seen people who love dogs and cats like their lives, but I’ve never seen people who love horses like their lives.”
"You don't understand. Riding it, I feel like I have turned into a bird, flying freely in the sky."
"But does the county government allow you to ride it? You are treating the horse as an ancestor." After saying this, Xiahou quickly slapped his mouth, "Bah, you almost disrespected your ancestors."
Mr. Xiahou calmed down and packed his clothes. These clothes were of the same style and color and were all official uniforms in the government. Xiahou washed this for officials and officials in the government, and the government would give her wages.
The couple made a living by relying on errands provided by the government.
Life was not hard, not poor, but not that rich either.
In Peixian County, the couple is considered a middle-class family.
Xiahou saw Qin soldiers approaching a carriage from a distance, and reminded her husband, "Hey, look, horse! A horse ten times more beautiful than your horse is coming."
For a pure person, she only sees the horses that her husband likes. As for the copper-covered carriages, they are no longer within the scope of her appreciation.
When Xia Houying heard this, he immediately put down the basket and stood up.
"Where did the horse come from?"
Indeed, a horse with a shiny black mane came running. This horse was much stronger than the horse he raised. The tendons on his buttocks were shaking when he ran. He was really a big fat horse.
"This is Qin's army. Why do you say it's a horse coming?"
Xiahou pursed her lips, "But you are not interested in anything that has nothing to do with horses."
"Female people don't understand anything."
Xia Houying stood on the wall, frowning as he looked more and more.
The carriage was followed by the Qin army in front and behind, and it was so high-spirited that sand and rocks flew all the way, trampling even the vegetable fields on the roadside.
The carriage was getting closer and closer, so close that Xia Houying and the general leading the team were almost eye to eye.
"Something's wrong. Why is this carriage coming towards our home?"
Xiahou smiled casually and said, "Is it possible that the general of the Qin State has also taken a fancy to you and wants to recruit you and Xiao Li together?"
Xia Houying looked down at the unwoven basket on the ground, sat down and said, "If one day I can be recruited to follow a big shot, I won't be as casual as Xiao Li."
"I will not follow the generals of the Qin State. I will only follow those who are moral, consider themselves common people, and do things fairly. But such a person is obviously not from the Qin State."
Xia Houying's eyes were firm, and he was unwilling to follow the Qin people.
They are too arrogant and unreasonable.
Xiahou was still drying her clothes, and the sound of the carriage getting closer and closer sounded to her: "You are talking about your eldest brother Liu Ji. He has been taking care of the land for several days, do you expect him? Why not hope that Xiao Li will prosper in the future?" I can promote you.”
"The people of Qin are not necessarily that bad. I heard that Qin Wangzheng suffered in Zhao when he was young. He knew how much pain the war brought to people, so he worked hard to end the war."
After hearing this, Xia Houying said, "How can you regard such a great undertaking as conquering the world as being done by a man with a kind heart?"
"Hmph. You don't understand. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice can dig holes. Did the benevolence of the prince of Qin happen out of thin air? It certainly wasn't. He must have inherited it from his father, King Qin. Only from the bottom of my heart.”
These words made Xia Houying angry, "I think your skin is really itchy? Just go and wash your clothes."
Xia Houshi stared at Xia Hou Ying. As he stared, he found that the carriage had arrived at the door of his house.
"This is?"
Xiao He appeared at the door of Xia Houying's house wearing simple and elegant dark clothes.
Her husband hurried forward to greet her, and Xiahou immediately went to the kitchen to light a fire, boil water and warm wine, and then went to work on cooking.
Xiao He stopped him quickly.
"Brother and sister, please stop working. Brother Xiahou and I will leave after a few words."
Xiahou looked at the Qin army standing behind Xiao He with a look of astonishment. They were all tall and heroic, equipped with long swords, but all of them had expressionless faces.
Xiahou couldn't help but ask, "What is this, Mr. Xiao?"
"I'm here today to ask Brother Xiahou to meet someone. Get in the car first. When we get to the car, I'll tell you slowly."
Xiahoushi exclaimed, "Did you really get what I said? Were you really recruited?"
"Go home and stay there, lock the courtyard door. You are not allowed to come out until I come back."
Xia Houying didn't like the Qin people at all.
Back then, he was from Yangqu, and was driven over by the Qin people and forced to live in Pei County. It was very painful to leave his hometown and not be able to see his parents, brothers and sisters. It was all thanks to the Qin people.
The Qin people's appearance is similar to that of bandits.
Xia Houying made such an arrangement, which in itself was a provocation to the Qin people.
