"Wu Anjun, are you taking a detour?"

For Hangu Pass, although Duan Ganhu Cheng has not been there, he is very clear about the terrain and main roads, after all, after the Six Kingdoms invaded Qin and broke through Hangu Pass, they drew an extremely detailed map.

"There's no detour."

"Wu Anjun don't want to lie to me, it stands to reason that after all these days, we should have arrived in Yucheng by now, but why are we still in this wilderness?"

"Today's Yucheng has already been changed into a place for the training of new recruits in Great Qin, is it possible that you, the general of Wei, still plan to inspect and inspect?"

"Don't dare, I just asked casually."

"Oh, I'll just say it casually."

Seeing Duan Ganhu Cheng's nervous face, Li Ling knew that this Ganhu Cheng probably didn't know what he imagined Yucheng to look like.

As Li Ling expected, as soon as he said it casually, Duan Ganhu Cheng really listened to it.

The place where recruits are trained actually needs a whole city, so how many soldiers and horses are there in this Qin State, and a sense of powerlessness instantly surged into Duan Ganhucheng's heart.

The team of relatives traveled all the way, Duan Ganhu Cheng looked at it while walking, the Qin State brought him too much shock, the Wei State was indeed jealous of the Qin State, and indeed thought that the Qin State was the most powerful country today, but Duan Ganhu Cheng found that they still underestimated the Qin State, and the strength of the Qin State could completely surpass the combined forces of the six countries.

However, the bigger shock is still to come!

After bypassing Yucheng, the honor guard convoy went straight to Xianyang, passing through a straight road under construction.

When he arrived at the straight road construction site, Li Ling did not forget to explain to Duan Ganhucheng, saying that this straight road should be repaired to the north first, and then to Hangu Pass.

As for the purpose of building the straight road, Li Ling made some changes.

Originally, this straight road was built for the raid on the Xiongnu, but in Li Ling's mouth, it became the basis for the two counties of Beidi and Longxi to no longer need to garrison too many soldiers and horses.

When the straight road is repaired, the main force of the Qin border guards stationed in the two counties can return to the vicinity of Xianyang, and at that time, whether the Xiongnu come to attack or there is something outside Hangu Pass, this army can support as quickly as possible.

Li Ling's explanation gave Duan Ganhu Cheng's young and fragile mind a fatal blow, and the seeds of the Qin army's eternal invincibility had slowly sprouted in his heart.

Arrived in Xianyang, a grand ceremony came as scheduled, and the whole city was decorated with joy, which was not only the king of Qin marrying a princess, but also the weakness of Wei and the unstoppability of Great Qin.

However, under all this, Lü Buwei was obviously extremely disappointed.

By the end of the ceremony, the sun had sunset, and Li Ling left Zhangtai Palace and went directly to Lü Buwei's mansion.

Now Lü Buwei is gray-haired and a hero in his twilight, Li Ling always feels that he has not seen him for a long time, and Lü Buwei has aged too fast, so fast that Li Ling almost can't believe it.

"Brother Lu, you have something on your mind."

"After all, she still didn't come."

Sitting in the courtyard, warming a pot of wine, Lu Buwei looked at the bright moonlight, and the corners of his eyes were full of tears.

"She? Isn't it Empress Dowager Zhao? ”

"Do you say that the current Zheng'er is still the same Zheng'er at the beginning, have we all done something wrong?"

"No, we haven't done anything wrong, Zheng'er is still the same Zheng'er as before, but this era has changed, things are people, and after going through so much, people have to grow up after all."

Picking up a glass of wine and drinking it, Li Ling knew what Lu Buwei was sighing, but there were some words that he couldn't say too clearly.

He has always been a courtier, and Zhao Ji has already been the queen mother, even now that Zhao Ji has been imprisoned in Yongcheng Dazheng Palace, even Concubine Yingzheng did not let Zhao Ji come back.

Now Li Ling finally really understands Lu Buwei.

Li Ling initially thought that Lü Buwei was for power, and then thought that he was really related to Ying Zheng as rumored, and then thought that he was for the Qin State, but in the end he found out that he just loved that woman, and Ying Zheng was the son of that woman, so he was like this.

can see the current Yingzheng treating Zhao Ji like this, this old man is inevitably a little sad.

"Yes, times have changed. After that, it will be your time, and I should prepare for the future. ”

got up and staggered back to the house to rest, and Lu Buwei didn't even say a word to Li Ling.

Seeing that the once dominant character was a little sad in his twilight years, Li Ling couldn't help but feel a little distressed for Lu Buwei.

Just a year ago, he was still so high-spirited, just half a year ago, he was not old, but now, it has been so vicissitudes.

After Lü Buwei returned to the house, Li Ling did not leave in a hurry, but sat until he drank all the wine on the table, and then returned to his house to rest.

"Come on, prepare the horses!"

Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, Li Ling left the Taifu Mansion alone, without anyone following.

"The folk girl Mo Nianling knocked to see Wu Anjun."

"Is this your own name?"

"Yes."

"That's a bad name!"

"Then may I ask Wu Anjun, what should be the name of the people's daughter?"

"Mo You!"

At this moment, the so-called Mo Nianling kneeling in front of Li Ling was none other than Mo You, who had been missing for many years.

"Thank you, for your name."

"Get up, you're going to kneel at the door all the time, and let me stand here too?"

Today's Mo You has long lost the youthfulness of the past, from a little girl to a slim woman, and she is a lot taller, but unfortunately, a certain part is still the same as always, and I haven't seen much change.

"Do you still look at Mozi?"

Walking into Mo You's hut, half of the room was full of books, piled up, and I picked up a volume casually, and found that it was actually "Mozi".

"When the folk girls have nothing to do, they will read some books."

"Mozi!"

Suddenly raised his head and sighed, for Mozi, Li Ling has a different kind of affection in it, but it's a pity that he can't tell anyone.

"Is it difficult for Wu Anjun to read these books too? The folk girl heard that Wu Anjun was not very literate, hehe. ”

Just now, he was still holding it in various ways, as if he didn't know Li Ling at all, extremely unfamiliar, but he didn't expect it to last for a while before his original form was revealed.

"Good guy, you pretend to be me, why don't you pretend? Dead girl, dare to make fun of me? Is your butt itchy? I forgot how I used to smoke ...... rattan."

Li Ling's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became inaudible.

"Why, the embarrassed Great Qin Wu Anjun didn't even dare to say big things, and he didn't dare to mention the past? Come, the folk girl has rattan here, do you want to smoke it a few more? Don't worry, the folk girl will still be like back then, let you smoke your ass, and will definitely not hide. ”

While speaking, Mo You ran directly to the door and took a rattan in and put it in Li Ling's hand, then turned around and lay on the table to undress.

"What for! What a system! ”

"That's how you beat me back then, I remember it clearly!"

"Stop! It was then, it's now, you were a kid back then, it's different now! ”

"What's the difference?"

......
