Da Qin: I, who was bound to Qin Shihuang, took off

Chapter 160 Zhao Gao and Qin Qiniang recognize each other
"This time, this slave is here to reward General Qin Qi on the order of the king."

"Thank you for your grace."

"I will give General Qin Qi a thousand servants, ten thousand spiritual stones, ten thousand gold, ten thousand silver, and hundreds of carriages of brocade and cloth."

"This is a gift from the emperor. Please keep it, Madam."

Zhao Gao did not hesitate and took out the gift list and handed it to Ba Rou.

"On behalf of my husband, I would like to express my gratitude to the King for your kindness." Ba Rou took the gift book with both hands, her face filled with joy.

"The king asked me to tell you that General Qin Qi deserves all this."

"His military exploits for the Qin Dynasty are enough to deserve any reward."

"Except."

"The king also has a reward edict."

"From now on, the 35 villages in An County under Jiuyuan County will be granted to General Qin Qi." Zhao Gao smiled and took out another royal edict.

"The entire An County has become the husband's fiefdom?"

Hearing this, Barou was also shocked.

In the old days of King Zhaoxiang, fiefdoms were granted very frequently. Since ancient times, only the lord of the fiefdom has been recognized.

But in the past, when the Qin Dynasty built the Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong, even if the King of Qin came in person, the canal had to pass through an area with a feudal lord, but it was blocked. Moreover, the people there shouted to the King of Qin that only the feudal lord would be recognized above the fiefdom.

It was also from then on that the King of Qin realized the shortcomings of fiefdoms and no longer wanted to fiefdoms. He even promulgated a law that within the territory of the Qin State, royal power was supreme, and the king over the fiefdoms was the main one, followed by the lord.

Once a fief is owned, as long as the royal power has not yet arrived, the fief lord has absolute authority, and all officials in the fief, big and small, must abide by it.

With the fall of this imperial edict, Qin Qi will be respected in An County from now on.

"Young Madam, please accept the royal edict." Zhao Gao smiled.

Barou immediately came back to her senses and bowed: "A common woman thanks the king for your husband's kindness."

Then he took Wang Zhao's order with both hands.

"I wonder where Madam is?" Zhao Gao asked the question that concerned him the most.

"My mother-in-law is feeling a little unwell and is resting at home." Ba Rou replied softly.

"I wonder if I can introduce you to my servant?" Zhao Gao asked with a smile.

"This……"

Ba Rou looked hesitant.

She could see her mother-in-law's refusal very clearly just now. There was definitely something she wanted to avoid.

"Young lady."

"Please rest assured that I have no ill intentions towards Madam, and I have a secret edict from the King. I cannot leave without seeing Madam." Zhao Gao said in a low voice.

After Ba Rou thought for a moment, he looked at Zhao Gao who looked sincere and finally nodded: "Please come with me, my lord."

Soon.

Under Ba Rou's guidance, they arrived at the courtyard where Qin Qiniang was.

"Mother." Ba Rou shouted outside the door.

"Rouer."

"Is the person gone?" Qin Qiniang's voice came out.

"mother."

"The gentleman who passed down the royal edict said that he must see you because of the royal edict, otherwise he would not leave." Barou said helplessly.

inside the house.

Hearing Ba Rou's words.

Qin Qiniang's expression changed.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Xiao Bao'er looked at his grandmother whose expression changed with a cute expression.

"Ugh."

Qin Qiniang sighed, with mixed feelings on her face.

After struggling for a moment, he finally made his choice.

"Grandma is fine, she just thought of something."

"Come on, Boa."

"You go find your mother first." Qin Qiniang picked up her grandson and walked out of the house.

Then opened the door.

into the eye.

Ba Rou stood in front of him, as well as Zhao Gao.

The moment the door opens.

Zhao Gao's eyes immediately looked over. When he saw Qin Qiniang, his eyes immediately became extremely complicated, with joy, guilt, and even more disbelief.

"Rou'er, take Bao'er down first."

Qin Qiniang immediately felt Zhao Gao's eyes, but Ba Rou was still there at the moment, so she did not show it, but gave her instructions.

"Yes."

Ba Rou nodded, and she naturally understood that her mother-in-law was definitely an old acquaintance of the royal envoy in front of her.

But she didn't ask any more questions and left with her son.

When Ba Rou left, Qin Qiniang turned around and returned to the room.

Zhao Gao immediately followed in and closed the door.

After there is no one else.

Zhao Gao could no longer hold back the thoughts in his heart and knelt down directly in front of Qin Qiniang. Tears were streaming down his face at this moment, and he could no longer stop the tears: "Xiao Gao, see Miss."

"Xiao Gao."

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Qin Qiniang said with a wry smile.

"The young lady's voice will never be forgotten by Zhao Gao in his lifetime."

"If it hadn't been for the lady, Zhao Gao would have died in the palace long ago. If it hadn't been for the lady, Zhao Gao would not have survived until now."

"Miss, it's great that you are still alive."

"But why are you hiding from me?"

"Can't you even trust me?"

"In my heart, Zhao Gao, I will not let you suffer any harm even if I die."

"You are my life, Zhao Gao."

Zhao Gao raised his head with tears in his eyes and said with great grievance.

For Zhao Gao.

The woman in front of him is his benefactor, his reborn parent.

If it were not for the woman in front of him, he would have died in the palace, bullied to death by the eunuchs in the palace. If it were not for the woman in front of him, he would not be alive now.

Seeing Zhao Gao crying like this, Qin Qiniang's eyes couldn't help but shed tears.

She slowly knelt down, wiped the tears from Zhao Gao's eyes without any disdain, and said with a bit of sobs: "I have always regarded you as my younger brother, how can I not trust you."

"But if I get to know you, it may involve Brother Zheng again, Qi'er, or even you, which will harm you."

Zhao Gao raised his head with a determined look on his face: "I'm not afraid of anything."

"Miss, after you left."

"I have been looking for you, and I made up my mind back then. If you really die because of that, I will not let anyone go. Those who harmed you, those from the royal family, I will not let anyone go. Let it go.”

"I will make them pay with blood, and I will let the entire Qin State be buried with them." Zhao Gao said with a crazy look on his face.

Hearing such crazy things.

Qin Qiniang smiled bitterly.

She knew very well the character of Zhao Gao, whom she regarded as her younger brother. Ever since he took Zhao Gao away from the imperial kitchen, Zhao Gao had completely regarded him as a relative and even as a taboo.

But what happened back then was too powerless for Zhao Gao, and he, a little eunuch, couldn't do anything at all, but he hid all this in his heart and buried his hatred in his heart.

The young lady was assassinated and then disappeared.Zhao Gao remembers these things and always remembers them.

since then.

Zhao Gao, who used to smile happily around the young lady, changed and turned gloomy.

No one knows what he is thinking in his heart, but only he knows that he is dormant, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

He hated everyone.

Not just the people who harmed the young lady, but even the King of Qin.

perhaps.

These things are also somewhat related to the hidden history.

in history.

After Zhao Gao supported Qin II Hu Hai to ascend the throne, with Zhao Gao's promotion, almost all the children of Qin Shihuang were eventually slaughtered. Even Hu Hai was killed by Zhao Gao. Qin officials in the court He was even purged by Zhao Gaoda, and even the Meng family could not escape.

These may also be related to hatred.

Thinking of Qin Qi's mother in front of her, everything seemed to make sense.

Zhao Gao is taking revenge! ! !

"Xiao Gao."

"I know you're doing it for my own good."

"But don't say these words anymore. I'm fine. I'm living a good life in this bridge village now."

"I also hope that you and Brother Zheng will have a good life." Qin Qiniang immediately said to Zhao Gao in a warm voice.

Looking at the crazy Zhao Gao, she could even think of how much hatred Zhao Gao had accumulated in his heart during the many years since she left Xianyang.

"Don't worry, miss. After seeing that you are still alive, all my hatred is gone. The old Xiao Gao was incompetent and could not protect you, but I will never let anyone hurt you again in the future."

"Even if I die." Zhao Gao looked at Qin Qiniang with firm eyes.

"Little Gao!"

Qin Qiniang stared at Zhao Gao with a touch of emotion on her face.

After a while.

Qin Qiniang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then helped Zhao Gao up.

"Miss."

"The reason you avoid me is because you don't want to go back to Xianyang, right?" Zhao Gao suddenly asked.

"kindness."

Qin Qiniang nodded: "If I go back, I will harm Brother Zheng, and even Qier."

"Miss, you should know what the young master has achieved now, right?"

"The three great masters of the Zhao Kingdom all died in the hands of the young master, among whom Lian Po was the most powerful one."

"With the young master's current strength, who in the world can hurt him?"

"You'll be fine even if you go back, Miss." Zhao Gao said.

heard.

Qin Qiniang gave a bitter smile: "Xiao Gao, you think too simply. If it were in the mortal world, I wouldn't have to be afraid of Qi'er and Brother Zheng, but what I'm really afraid of is not those people back then."

Zhao Gao was even more puzzled: "Who else could it be if they weren't them?"

"Immortal." Qin Qiniang said with a wry smile.

"what?"

Zhao Gao opened his eyes wide, a little unbelievable.

"Why does the immortal care whether the young lady returns to Xianyang?"

"There is no reason." Zhao Gao was a little surprised.

"I was found by immortals after I left Xianyang. A group of immortals wanted to kill me, but I was saved by another immortal. He directly stated that I should not exist in this world, and even more bluntly said that Qi'er should not be born."

"He asked me not to return to Xianyang, let alone announce that Qi'er is of royal blood, otherwise not only our family will die, but Brother Zheng will also die." Qin Qiniang said with a bitter smile.

"Why do immortals treat young lady like this?"

"Although the king did not protect you, Miss, before, he is infatuated with Miss and has never given up looking for Miss over the years."

"I even visited Handan in person many days ago, because the young lady said that if she left Xianyang, she would definitely come to Handan."

"Although it is unknown, the king still went."

"If the king knows that the lady is here, your family can be reunited." Zhao Gao looked indignant.

"Xiao Gao."

"I know how much you want our family to reunite, but the immortal's warning still rings in my ears. For the sake of Brother Zheng, and even more so for Qi'er, I cannot return to Xianyang, let alone recognize Brother Zheng."

"Otherwise there will be big consequences."

"Xiao Gao, you must keep this secret for me. You must not let brother Zheng know that I am here, let alone let brother Zheng know that Qi'er is his son." Qin Qiniang looked at Zhao Gao with a serious face and said.

In this case.

Zhao Gao naturally did not hesitate and nodded directly: "Miss, don't worry, no one else will know about this except me. Even if the knife is held on my neck, I will not tell it. I will never tell it." It hurt the lady.”

"Xiao Gao, now that we are here this time."

"Just stay in Qiao Village for two more days. I have many things I want to ask you." Qin Qiniang said with a smile.

Zhao Gao nodded repeatedly and replied with a smile: "I will stay one more day. If it takes too long, the king will be suspicious."

"Okay." Qin Qiniang smiled and nodded.

"Miss, I want to congratulate you this time."

"Not only are you living a good life in this village, but the young master has also become prominent and is in a very popular position."

"The Commander-in-Chief of the Protectorate, Your Majesty, is the top Grand Master. He is the No. 1 since ancient times."

"Young Master is worthy of being the son of the young lady and the king. He is extremely talented."

"And the lady has a grandchild, which is even more gratifying news." Zhao Gao congratulated Qin Qiniang with a smile on his face.

"Speak up."

"When Qi'er first enlisted in the army, I was worried that something would happen to him on the battlefield, but in less than five years, he actually had such power. I really didn't expect it." Qin Qiniang also said with some helplessness.

"The king has already met the young master, but he doesn't know that the young master is his son."

"This is also a good thing." Zhao Gao said again.

"After all, Brother Zheng has never seen Qi'er, so it's not surprising that he doesn't recognize her." Qin Qiniang said with a smile.

"Perhaps this is also the fate of heaven and earth. Although they cannot recognize each other, it is for their father and son to meet each other."

"And the young master really helped the king a lot."

"If it weren't for the Young Master who attacked and destroyed Zhao this time, it would have been absolutely impossible for the king to destroy Zhao in less than two years."

"All three generals of the Zhao Kingdom died in the hands of the young master. The young master is already powerful in the world." Zhao Gao said with great emotion.

"If possible, I would rather he never enlisted in the army, let alone reach this position."

"Entering Xianyang means that he will be more dangerous in the future." Qin Qiniang sighed.

Hear this.

Zhao Gao didn't say anything more.

In fact, there was another sentence deep in his heart. If it weren't for the immortal's warning, Zhao Gao would definitely have said it.

What he wants to say is very simple. With the young master's ability and status, as long as he recognizes the king, who can compete with him for the position of prince?Who can compete with him for the future position of King of Qin?
But thinking about the situation his young lady encountered, and the immortal's warnings and threats, Zhao Gao had no choice.

"Miss."

"Don't you tell Dr. Xia?" Zhao Gao suddenly thought of it and asked immediately.

Doctor Xia is undoubtedly Xia Wuji.

Hear this.

Qin Qiniang also showed a hint of guilt on her face.
