The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 77: Died of illness in Chuli!

The army is approaching the city, and it is also the last pass in Xianyang of the Qin State. If the news reaches Xianyang, it will definitely cause panic among the officials, and may even shake the throne of the King of Qin.

Fortunately, Princess Xia had already blocked her in advance and wiped out all the soldiers and horses of Qi.

"After this time, the six countries will no longer join forces to attack Qin..."

Gan Mao sighed as he looked at the mess outside Yiyang City where the six-nation coalition forces retreated.

"hope so!"

Princess Xia shook her head. Now Qin's ambitions have been exposed to the eyes of all countries, especially Han, Wei and Zhao in the Three Jins. They are most afraid of Qin. Even if there is no coalition of six countries, there will probably be coalitions of three or two countries!
However, Princess Xia was relieved. If Qin wanted to go eastward and build a world without conquests, it would have to go through all this.

……

Xianyang, Qin State.

The danger of the six-nation coalition has been resolved, and the eyes of the ministers are once again focused on the new king.

King Qin Yingji had not been on the throne for a long time, and his control over the court was not complete. This caused some people to make small moves secretly, but with the help of Qi Liji, everything was under orderly control.

Princess Xia also returned from Yiyang with troops and settled in Xianyang. It seemed to be a needle that stabilized the sea, giving Qin King Ying Ji the confidence to act with confidence.

Time passes slowly, the sun rises and the moon sets, the golden crow falls in the west, the four seasons pass, the flowers in the flower garden of Huizhi Palace bloom and fall, but only the people in the palace garden remain unchanged.

A year passed quickly. During this year, Princess Zhenguo seemed to disappear from the eyes of the world, but those who lived in the temple knew that Princess Zhenguo had always guarded Xianyang and King Qin.

As the sun sets, Bai Zhi sits on the table. The purple feathers on his body are dazzling and noble under the sunlight.

However, in places where there is no sunlight, it can be seen that the purple of the feathers of the divine bird becomes darker, even close to black.

However, at this moment, a waiter suddenly entered Huizhi Palace in a hurry. Before he could reach Princess Xia, he hurriedly said: "Princess, your Majesty, please come over here!"

"Did you say why?"

Princess Xia, who came back to her senses, looked at the waiter and asked slowly.

"It seems to be because of Prime Minister Right!"

Hearing this, Princess Xia's face changed drastically. She immediately stood up and walked out of Huizhi Palace, with a look of panic on her face.

Bai Zhi on the side sighed softly in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Don't be anxious, just put on your shoes!"

Because she was in the Huizhi Palace, Princess Xia did not wear shoes or socks. At this time, she was shocked to hear the news about Qiliji, which made her confused.

Princess Xia returned again, put on her shoes and socks hastily, and then walked out of the palace again.The waiter on the side lowered his head, not daring to take a peek.

Bai Zhi stood up from the table and disappeared under the pavilion.

……

Next to Xianyang Palace, East Street.

It is the residence of the clan and nobles in Xianyang City.

In a rather quiet street, a hairpin-shaped chariot was parked, guarded by a Qin Ruishi armed with armor.

But on the side, there is a majestic mansion, with the word Prime Minister on the plaque.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from far away in the street, and Qin Ruishi, who was guarding him, quickly looked warily.

But when he saw the person coming, he immediately saluted respectfully.

"I've met Princess Zhenguo!"

At this time, Princess Zhenguo was wearing a dark red women's dress, and her hair was bound with a wooden hairpin, which made her look very messy.

However, there was a Qin sword hanging on his waist.Seeing the guarding Qin Ruishi, Princess Xia nodded slightly, but looked at the mansion aside with a hurried face, then got off her horse and rushed in.

……

"Your Majesty, your Prime Minister's life has expired. This is the principle of the cycle of heaven and earth. It cannot be done by human beings. I hope that Your Majesty will express your condolences."

In a courtyard, King Qin Ying Ji, wearing a crown, was walking in the courtyard. After a while, he saw a doctor walking out of the room and said respectfully. "..."

Hearing this, Qin King Ying Ji showed sadness on his face. He naturally knew that the doctor was telling the truth, but he still couldn't help but hope and said: "Try your best to save the Prime Minister, no matter the cost!"

After saying that, King Qin Ying Ji immediately walked into the room.

The golden hooks raised the curtains, and the candles on the bronze sacred tree emitted a faint light, swinging unsteadily, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and one or two candles were even extinguished because the candles burned out.

King Qin Ying Ji looked at the bed and saw an old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face lying under the brocade quilt.

As if he heard the footsteps of King Qin Yingji, the old man opened his cloudy eyes, "Your Majesty..."

"Uncle, please lie down!"

Seeing that Chu Li was about to get up, King Qin Ying Ji quickly stopped him.

"There is no King of Qin here, only Ying Ji, and only Gong Bo!"

Qi Liji was already old and devoted himself to Qin until the last moment of his life. He looked at the young and resolute face of Qin King Ying Ji and suddenly smiled, saying in a slow but clear voice: "Qin has a king, so I feel relieved." …”

"Uncle Ji will not forget his contribution to the state of Qin! Now Ji is familiar with political affairs. From now on, uncle no longer needs to worry, and he will take good care of his body for the future..."

However, Chuiliji shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "I know my body best. I have run out of oil..."

"I have nothing more to impart to your Majesty, but I still have a few words that I would like your Majesty to remember..."

"Ji, listen attentively and remember this!"

King Qin Ying Ji quickly bowed deeply to Chu Liji on the bed and said respectfully.

"Nowadays, only a few people in the Qin court are trustworthy, but they cannot be trusted. For example, Wei Ran is from Chu. Although he is close to the king, he should be wary of his desire for power!"

"And Jiu Qing..."

"...Finally, if the king is indecisive, he should ask the princess of the country for advice. The princess is protected by the divine bird and can protect the ancestral temple of the Qin State! Where the destiny lies, the divine bird will go!"

King Qin Ying Ji listened carefully to Qi Liji's words without showing any sign of impatience.

After a long time, Chuiliji took a long breath, and then asked: "Princess Xia hasn't arrived yet?"

"Hurry! When Ji arrived, someone had already sent someone to call my sister..."

Before King Qin Ying Ji finished speaking, he heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside, and at the same time a familiar voice came:

"How is the uncle?!"

But they saw Princess Xia coming in a hurry, not even dressed neatly, and her long red dress looked very indecent.

But when Princess Xia arrived, Chuiliji smiled on the bed.

"Uncle..."

Seeing Chuiliji's old and haggard face, with the oil exhausted and the lamp drying up, Princess Xia's eyes instantly turned red, and tears flowed out from her eyes, silently, but like drops from a clear spring.

Princess Xia hurriedly came to the bed, knelt on the ground, looked at Chuiliji, and cried silently.

"Don't cry... don't cry..., Nannan, don't cry..."

Qiliji stretched out his skinny hand covered with age spots, trying to wipe away the tears on Princess Xia's cheeks.

However, when Princess Xia heard the word "nannan", the tears in her eyes were like water from a flood, flowing continuously, and she shed more and more tears.

"Nanny has grown up...why are she still crying..."
