Following Qin Shi Huang's words, Zhao Liang hurriedly came back to his senses and looked at the place where the other party was fingering. I saw that on the wall on the east side of the dormitory, there was an embroidered portrait of a person, just by looking at the obsolescence of the cloth, you know that it is old, it is an antiquity.

I only heard Qin Shi Huang say: "This embroidered statue was originally hidden in the underground palace of the Great Qin Imperial Family, and few people have been interested. A while ago, when you mentioned the Ying Clan's border army when you were fighting in front of the palace, I had a whim and took it out and hung it. You see, do you have to embroider the characters on the statue? ”

Zhao Liang looked at it intently, and saw that although the embroidered figure had simple lines, it was extremely expressive with a few brushstrokes, and it turned out to be the appearance of a female general in military uniform. He was a little strange, and although he had never seen this female general, he had a vague sense of déjà vu and very familiarity. In an instant, Zhao Liang reacted, although his appearance was unrecognizable, the armor decoration on the female general's body was too familiar, because it was exactly what he had personally worn!

"Damn, this is Zheng Ni?!" Zhao Liang exclaimed.

Qin Shi Huang didn't understand what "I rely on", but he still smiled and groaned: "Haha, the immortal chief is really good, and he can really recognize the identity of this person." That's right, she is the righteous daughter of Zheng Huan Gong of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the commander of the Xianlin Army, and one of the best commanders in the history of my Ying Clan's border army - General Zheng Ni! ”

Zhao Liang's heart jumped wildly, and when he could witness Zheng Ni's embroidered portrait at this time, he immediately felt a kind of affection and emotion, as if he had seen a friend he hadn't seen for many years, and as if he was looking back at his past life.

Qin Shi Huang continued: "One of the purposes of inviting you here today is to let you pay homage to this embroidered statue together, and to fulfill my wish to comfort our ancestors. My founding monarch of Great Qin, Qin Xianggong, was also Zheng Ni's deputy general back then, and as the patriarch of the Ying clan, he assisted her in taking charge of the border army and resisting the invasion of Xirong. Later, for various reasons, the ancestor and Shenhou Shen Ziyan joined forces to overthrow the deaf Youwang, and then assisted King Ping to create the foundation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, and also established the status of the princes of our Qin State, so that I have today's great unification. However, because this matter was related to the position of the Qin border army at that time, all parties had concerns, so the truth was not recorded in the annals of history, but only made a detailed description in the secret books of the Great Qin royal family, and it was passed down from generation to generation among the kings of the Ying family. That day, when the Imperial Front was fighting, the Immortal Chief said a word, but he saved face for me in key places, and saved face for my Great Qin Imperial Family, I still want to thank you. ”

Zhao Liang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives me, I was also unscrupulous at the time, and I almost broke into a big disaster, but fortunately, you are magnanimous and don't care about me." ”

Qin Shi Huang shook his head: "Alas, what do you say about magnanimity. Looking back at this period of history now, I also feel helpless. Although history is said to be left for future generations to comment, if you don't experience it yourself, who can comment on it? Although the ancestors did something wrong, after all, it was the most correct choice at that time, and to this day, I have received infinite favors, and I am no longer qualified to judge the rights and wrongs of my ancestors. Of course, it is not possible to talk about being magnanimous to the immortal. I only ask for the same now, please ask Immortal Changwan to continue to keep it secret for my Daqin, and let this history be like Zheng Ni's embroidered statue, sealed in the depths of the underground palace forever. ”

Zhao Liang nodded silently, and then said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and not talk about anyone again." However, you don't have to tell me anything, because I'm leaving. ”

After that, he took advantage of the lie of returning to the heavenly realm and took it out again to fool Qin Shi Huang. Hearing that the Aquarius Star Zhao Immortal was about to ascend to heaven, Qin Shi Huang was immediately a little at a loss and asked: "The immortal ascended to the top, congratulations, but about my immortality......

"You don't have to worry about immortality." Zhao Liang said in a relaxed tone: "I have already arranged Xu Fudong's plan to visit the Immortal Mountain properly, as long as the day comes, they will set sail to the sea, and they will definitely be able to seek the elixir of immortality for Your Majesty." It's just that nothing goes wrong before that. ”

When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he nodded understandingly: "I know the worries of the little national teacher. Another purpose of today is to talk about this. Whether it was the destruction of the Qiankun Quenching Gold Furnace, or the bloodshed of the lights out of the Sifang Mountain, whether it was the tragic destruction of Bai Yunfan's family by the Kunlun faction, or the failure to turn out the lights and let Gong Yubo surrender, and even together with the fact that you and Meng Qi made a big fuss about the Taiyi Immortal Palace last night, I actually know it clearly. The great master has always been the only one who has won my favor, and it is inevitable that he will be arrogant and domineering, but after all, he is also conscientious and conscientious in refining the pill for me, so please raise your noble hand and don't kill him completely. I can also assure you that Beichen will not embarrass you again in the future, even if the little national master ascends to the immortal, he will not commit any crimes with Xu Fuqiu. ”

Zhao Liang said in his heart: I Nima, it turns out that all the things before, this Qin Shi Huang was dumb and ate dumplings - he knows it in his heart, no wonder he was able to overthrow the powerful Lu Buwei and Chang Yu at a young age, and when he grew up, he was even more amazing, and he swept away the six kingdoms of Qi, Chuyan, Zhao, Wei and Han, and then unified the world. This bit of open and secret struggle between them and Beichen was like child's play in the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, and he didn't even bother to ask a word before. At present, it is estimated that he is worried that the major affairs of Dongdu will be interfered with, so he came forward to find himself to make his words clear, so as to temporarily calm the contradictions between large and small national teachers.

He scratched his head embarrassedly and said to Qin Shi Huang: "Your Majesty is serious. As long as the Great Power Division did not interfere with Xu Fu's eastward crossing, I had no intention of becoming an enemy of him. ”

Qin Shi Huang smiled with satisfaction: "Originally, I was worried that you would not give up, but I didn't expect to learn that the little national master was going to return to Heaven just now, and I don't think I will be entangled in the world's mundane things anymore. In this way, I will have no worries. ”

Zhao Liang said again: "By the way, Your Majesty, when it comes to my ascension to heaven, I happen to have a little favor that I want you to take care of." ”

"Oh? Is there still a place to use me? Qin Shi Huang said curiously: "The little national teacher is just talking." ”

Zhao Liang replied: "Before I came to the audience, I had already said goodbye to Xu Fu and the others, and all the things that should be explained about the Dongdu were explained, so I returned to the heavenly realm for a while, and I didn't have much nostalgia." There is only one thing that has not yet been arranged, and that is my physical body. This time, I borrowed the body of an ordinary villager near Xianyang, his real name is Cowherd, he is an honest and kind-hearted young man, there are no other relatives in the family, and he is lonely in the world. Once I leave the mortal world, my body will belong to him again, and I don't know how much he can remember what happened before, and it's pitiful to think about it. Therefore, can you bother Your Majesty and arrange another place for the Cowherd to live, so that he can spend the rest of his life carefree? ”

Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang sighed for a moment and readily agreed: "Well, I know your mind. Cowherd is just an ordinary person who doesn't understand immortal techniques, so he can't follow Xu Fu to the east together, let alone be qualified for the position of a small national teacher. In this way, since he has contributed to the immortal chief Linfan, it is better to give more rewards, I gave him a thousand acres of fertile land and a hundred servants in the land of Bashu, so that the cowherd can change his name and surname from now on, and live the life of a rich man in the remote countryside, what do you think? ”

Zhao Liang was overjoyed and said, "That's great!" On behalf of the Cowherd, I thank Your Majesty for your grace. He stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Shi Huang, feeling that another stone in his heart had finally landed.

Qin Shi Huang smiled nonchalantly, and then asked about the Xianshan chart, Zhao Liang hurriedly told the story that had been made, and said that he had handed over the chart to Xu Fu for safekeeping, which could ensure that it could be used smoothly after going to sea. Qin Shi Huang was very satisfied after hearing this, and repeatedly praised Zhao Liang, Meng Qi and others for their ability to do things and live up to his expectations.

Zhao Liang said a few more modest words, and suddenly remembered that the time had been delayed a lot, since the things here had been almost arranged, and the matter of Dongdu was more consolidated, and then he had to contact the headquarters as soon as possible and return as soon as possible, so he proposed to Qin Shi Huang that he wanted to borrow a clean place in the palace to complete the final ascension.

Qin Shi Huang knew that the little national teacher was about to leave, so he reluctantly stood up from the soft couch, stepped forward to hold Zhao Liang's hands, and said affectionately: "Immortal Chief, if Xu Fu really finds the immortal mountain elixir for me and can live forever, then maybe we will have a chance to meet again." ”

"Historical Records of the First Emperor of Qin" contains: In October of the 37th year, the first emperor traveled. The left prime minister is from, and the right prime minister is going to defend it. The young son Hu Hai loves to obey and promise.

In 211 B.C., that is, in October of the 37th year of Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Yingzheng of Great Qin set out from Xianyang and began his journey to tour the world. Among the entourage, there were not only Prime Minister Li Si, Zhao Gao and other civil and military generals, but also Gongzi Hu Hai also got the approval of Qin Shi Huang for the first time and was fortunate to accompany him.

In the second year, 3,000 boys and girls led by Xu Fu, as well as thousands of craftsmen, technicians, and soldiers of the Great Qin, also embarked on a journey to the east to find immortals.

In this way, the two roads of people and horses with huge scale but different purposes set off one after the other, and began their respective destiny journeys in parallel by land and water.

In July 210 B.C., Qin Shi Huang became ill from overwork, and at the same time, because of the long-term use of warlock pills, which led to an outbreak of erysipelas in his body, he died of illness on the dune platform. The CRRC government ordered Zhao Gao to instigate Li Si, tampered with the edict of the eldest prince Fusu, and set up the son Hu Hai to ascend the throne, known as "Qin II" in history.

Almost at the same time, Xu Fu followed the navigation chart drawn by Xiangu, and after nearly half a year of arduous sailing, he came all the way to the "Wa Kingdom" in the East China Sea, which is now the island of Kyushu in Japan. The plains here are wide and the climate is mild, which is very suitable for living and survival. Xu Fu remembered the advice of the Aquarius Star Immortal in his heart, so he lied that he was ordered by the emperor to stay on Xiandao, so he led nearly 10,000 of his subordinates to take root in Japan, and since then he has lived a free and easy princely life, and thus luckily avoided the power of Qin II Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and the subsequent turmoil between Chu and Han.

Mengqi, who arrived in Japan with Xu Fu, although he missed his homeland very much, but he had no choice but to have the king's order and military orders like a mountain, since it was His Majesty's will, he had no choice but to lead the Yulin Iron Guard to fulfill his duties and continue to expand the territory for Daqin in this new world. In a few years, Meng Qi swept most of the four Japanese islands in a row with only 500 iron horses, and everywhere he went, it was like entering a no-man's land. But then again, it seems that there were not many people in Japan at that time.

Unlike Xu Fu and Meng Qi, the little beauty Sixue lived a different life. Because she was the daughter of Zhao Liang's immortal, she had a very noble status in the entire Dongdu team, not only served by twenty slaves and maids, but also received special care from General Mengqi, and sent fifty Yulin Iron Guards to protect her. Later, Xu Fu, who had already claimed the hegemony in Japan, also set aside a large area of land, rivers, mountains and forests as Sixue's fiefdom to support his life.

Despite her noble status and worry-free food and clothing, Sixue still often misses her sweetheart, and she doesn't know when she will see each other again. In order to express her worries, she ordered all the tall and handsome men in her fiefdom to change the names of the little national teachers. Of course, the honorific title "Zhao Liang" cannot be used indiscriminately, so it is only the name of the immortal and common family. In other words, all handsome men who can please the queen have to change their names to "Cowherd".

Unexpectedly, this custom originally set by Xiao Sixue has been passed down for more than 2,000 years, and the Japanese "Yayoi Culture" created by Xu Fu still has a profound impact on future generations to this day.
