Soon, an old chamberlain slowly opened the door of the mansion, and the first time he saw Zheng He, he understood that the person in front of him was the same as himself.

The people in the palace guessed Zheng He's origin at once. Then he moved his eyes to the street under the steps, and saw Yingzheng and Wu Zheng.

The old chamberlain was shocked when he saw Yingzheng, and said, "It's too ...... I've seen the king!"

Ying Zheng was a little surprised that the old chamberlain still knew him, they met once three years ago, although it has only been three years, but he has changed a lot, and he never thought that the old chamberlain still knows him.

Now that he has been recognized, Ying Zheng will not deny it, and said: "I didn't expect the old chamberlain to know Gu, who came to visit someone in the house." ”

The old chamberlain said: "I saw the king three years ago, the king is far more mature and stable than his peers, and he still remembers it vividly, and the slave went in to talk to the king." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly entered the mansion, and after a while, the old chamberlain returned to the door of the mansion again and said to Ying Zheng: "Madam is willing to see the king, the king please!"

Ying Zheng led Wu Jue and Zheng He to enter, and when they entered the gate, they saw a different scene like other people's mansions, with many servants and people coming and going. The courtyard was deserted, and there was no one to be seen, and if it weren't for the cleanliness of the ground, I would have thought it was a mansion where no one lived there.

Yingzheng came three years ago, so he knew that there were only Empress Dowager Xia and two old servants in this mansion, and it was only at the insistence of the former king Qin Yiren that he agreed that the first king sent five people from the palace to serve in the mansion, and this big mansion is now only eight people.

The old chamberlain led the three of them to the backyard, and when they walked through the corridor, they saw an old man in his fifties sweeping the floor with a broom.

Ying Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, handed the broom from the old man's hand to Zheng He, and helped the old man to a stone platform. It's already October, it's about to be winter, the weather is getting colder, Ying Zheng was just about to let Zheng He come into the house to get a futon, Wu Jue on the side actually untied the mink fur he was wearing and put it on the stone platform, and the Empress Dowager Xia was a little reluctant to sit down at Ying Zheng's insistence.

Ying Zheng looked at Wu Jue, who was a little trembling, and was a little funny, and said in his heart that he told you to be reckless, but he took off the cloak on his body and put it on Wu Jue.

Empress Dowager Xia looked at the two villains in front of her, with a kind smile on her face, and pulled Wu Zheng into her arms to ask this and that, as for Yingzheng, she had long been ignored by this old and young man.

Ying Zheng had no choice but to take Zheng He to walk around in the garden in this backyard, Zheng He didn't have a cloak, he wanted to take off his clothes and put them on Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng refused, and Zheng He didn't insist.

Ying Zheng came back from shopping, but Wu Jue and the others were gone, and a faint voice came from the dining room.

Ying Zheng walked over and heard the Empress Dowager Xia say: "Jue'er, grandmother asked you to cook today, and you watched it carefully." ”

"Well, in fact, Jue'er is also a grandmother who can cook. Wu Jue said very ostentatiously.

"Oh, Jue'er too, who taught you, the chef in the palace?" The Empress Dowager Xia was really surprised this time, she didn't expect to return to cooking at a young age.

"Yes, I learned it today, Brother Yingzheng said it was delicious, and he ate it all, and he was moved to tears when Jue'er cooked for Brother Yingzheng to eat!" Wu Zheng said proudly.

"Wait for the grandmother to cook other dishes, is it good for you to cook a dish for Zheng'er to eat, I'm afraid that my grandmother will not be used to cooking Zheng'er." Empress Dowager Xia thought for a while and said.

"Okay, Brother Yingzheng will definitely be happy!" Wu Jue said happily.

Ying Zheng couldn't listen to it anymore outside, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, this little witch must have said this on purpose, it must be, no, I can't eat that kind of food in the morning anymore, otherwise I will definitely be a traverser who eats vegetables and eats death.

Ying Zheng hurriedly entered the house and said to Wu Jue: "Jue'er, we finally came once, how can you grab the cooking with your grandmother, let your grandmother cook it, the dishes cooked by grandmother are delicious, better than those cooked by the chefs in the palace." ”

Ying Zheng feels like a bad uncle to a right-turning child.

Wu Jue looked at Ying Zhengdao with wide eyes, "Is it true?"

Ying Zheng nodded fiercely, Wu Jue looked at the Empress Dowager Xia again, and the Empress Dowager Xia looked at Ying Zheng's pleading eyes, and still said to Wu Zheng: "Your brother Ying Zheng is right, the dishes cooked by grandmother are delicious." ”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng sighed and gave Empress Dowager Xia a grateful look.

"Brother Yingzheng, you go out first, and Jue'er wants to learn how to cook with her grandmother. As he spoke, he pushed Yingzheng out.

The meal was a happy meal, basically the Empress Dowager Xia was talking, Ying Zheng and the two were listening, the Empress Dowager Xia had stayed in the mansion for many years, and she had never gone out, it was the same for her and everywhere, this mansion still had her and An Guojun's good memories, but she was even more reluctant to go out, and the glory of power was not as charming as the flowers and plants of this mansion for her. It is also her indifferent to fame and fortune, and her character of not fighting or grabbing that allows her to live until now, otherwise it would be easy for the person in the palace to let her go so easily.

Maybe it's a person, but the old man always wants to find someone to talk about his past, or Ying Zheng and Wu Jue are very happy with her and want to give the two juniors more missionary experience.

Hearing Yingzheng say that he was going to leave for the palace, the Empress Dowager Xia said: "Zheng'er, you and Jue'er don't come to visit your grandmother in the future, you have this intention, your grandmother is already very happy, if you attract someone's attention, it will not be good for your throne." ”

Ying Zheng felt a little warm, and said to the Empress Dowager Xia: "Grandmother, don't worry, Zheng'er has her own measure." Grandmother rested. ”

Out of the mansion, Ying Zheng looked at Wu Jue, the little girl, who was still a little reluctant, and turned around in three steps, so he told her to come back later, and the little girl looked ahead and walked.

Out of the mansion, Ying Zheng said to the street that was empty and there was only the car in front of the mansion, "Come out." ”

As soon as the words fell, five people appeared on the silent and uninhabited street, dressed in inner servants, these five people were five of the hundred people of the Lotus Guard, and the momentum of the five people and the cold moonlight complemented each other, and they became more

Ying Zheng said to Wu Zheng: "Jue'er, you go back to the palace first, Brother Ying Zheng still has something to do." ”

"Hmm. Hui Wu Jue agreed very obediently, neither asking to go with Ying Zheng, nor asking her Ying Zheng brother to do anything.

An attendant hurriedly squatted down and bent his back beside the car, treating himself as a humanoid stool, Wu Jue just shook his head and refused to step on the man to get into the car.

Ying Zheng saw it, walked over and reached out to hug Wu Jue's waist and drove her car, Wu Jue's heart was full of sweetness. gave a light peck on Ying Zheng's face, like a child who had done something bad, afraid of being caught by an adult, and hurriedly ran back to the car.

And the member of the Lotus Guard, who was a stool, looked at the car, stunned, although they were physically disabled, but who didn't want to be respected, today he felt this feeling, it was a feeling that made people intoxicated every second.

And all this was seen by Zheng He behind Ying Zheng, and his gaze at the car was a little softer than before.

Looking at the car that disappeared around the corner of the street, Ying Zheng said to Zheng He beside him: "Let's go, it's time to meet him!"

"No"

A car drove from the direction where Wu Zheng left, parked next to Ying Zheng and Zheng He, Ying Zheng got into the car, and the car gradually moved away in the direction where he came, the only difference was that the driver of the car was replaced by Zheng He.

In the Xing Prison of Qin State, in a cell, an old man in his fifties, with his hair scattered, his face haggard, and his eyes stared blankly at the windowsill where the moonlight poured in.

"Tower...... Tower ......"

A sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the cell, getting closer and closer, and finally disappeared in front of the cell door.

A small figure appeared in front of the door of the cell, which was separated by a tree thicker than an adult's arm, with a fist-sized gap in the middle, so that from the outside of the cell could see the scene inside, and the people inside could also see the people outside.

Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei, who still didn't have the slightest reaction in the cell, and felt a trace of guilt in his heart, but he was snuffed out by him in an instant, and he was the most taboo and soft-hearted as the superior.

Ying Zheng said softly.

"Xiangguo. ”

Lu Buwei's eyes, which were still wandering, gradually regained their clarity, and when he turned his head to see Yingzheng outside the cell, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he calmed down again.

Lü Buwei first brushed his messy hair behind his ears, stood up, and carefully and meticulously sorted out his somewhat tattered clothes.

He looked at himself and nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and bowed to Ying Zheng calmly and respectfully: "The criminal minister Lu Buwei visited the king, and the king has been for ten thousand years!"

It is difficult for Ying Zheng to regard the person in front of him and the high-spirited and powerful Xiangguo Lu Buwei as one person, there is a world of difference between the sharp and domineering in the past and the gentle and subtle now.

Ying Zheng also sincerely replied.

Lu Buwei said calmly: "The king is here, it's not just as simple as visiting the criminals!"

Lü Buwei fell into such a field, and with his wisdom, he could naturally guess for what and who was operating. Seeing Ying Zheng, he was neither angry nor angry, but he didn't know if he really looked down on everything in the world and hid his hatred too deep and too deep. If it is the latter, if this person does not die, it must be a big trouble for Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng didn't answer Lu Buwei's words, and said to himself: "Mr. and the first king returned to Qin, and the orphan became the proton of the Zhao State, and the Zhao people bullied and humiliated the orphan regardless of the old and the young. There was only one girl named Ah Fang, she was Gu's only friend, and when she was five years old, she died, dying for Lone. Her father died in the battle of Qin and Zhao in Changping, which has to be said to be an irony. ”

Lu Buwei did not interject, but quietly listened to Yingzheng's story.

"Does Sir know? She wasn't going to die, so she came back and told her not to be a soldier when she grew up, and she said she didn't want Lone to die, and she didn't want war in the world, so her father wouldn't die. ”

"Lone wants to put an end to all wars, and build a kingdom without strife and without killing, and if ten thousand people stop Lonely, and slaughter ten thousands, Lone will go to it. ”

"So the king can't wait to get rid of his ministers?" said Lü Buwei very calmly, without anger or hatred, as if the person he was talking about had nothing to do with him.

Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei and saw that his face was calm, his eyes were clear, there was no hatred, no resentment, as if he had really been reborn.

Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze from Lü Buwei and looked at the starry night sky through the cell window, and beyond that night sky, Ying Zheng felt an aura of ruthlessness, destruction, and killing coming towards this world.

"Lone knows that Mr. has a full stomach for governing the country, and there are less than five people in the world who can compare with Mr., if there is enough time, Qin State will be handed over to Mr. for more than ten years, and Lone will be the hidden king for more than ten years, but time is running out. ”

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he walked outside.

Lü Buwei was a little puzzled, he had never heard that Ying Zheng was seriously ill and his life was not long in coming. Then he spoke: "Dare to ask the king: What does it mean that there is not much time?"

"Sir will find out later. ”

Ying Zheng's words came from afar, and Lu Buwei thought to himself, how could he have a future, Ying Zheng came today, in his opinion, it was to send him off for the last time.

Looking at the starry sky in the sky, Lu Buwei thought of his life, planning step by step, calculating step by step, and in the end, what ...... lamented: "My life is up to heaven, not me!"

Ying Zheng, who came out of the cell, looked at the stacked houses in front of him under the moonlight, and hundreds of people had already fallen asleep, forgetting today's troubles and looking forward to the beauty of tomorrow. I said in my heart: If you have an afterlife, you will see the peaceful and prosperous world I have given you.

Ying Zheng got into the car, and under the drive of Zheng He, the car disappeared into the vast night.
