As soon as they heard Zhao Liang say what he said, "leave with confidence", everyone was shocked and hurriedly asked the reason. Zhao Liang continued to make up nonsense along Fang Cai's train of thought: "The messenger who came to pick up Zheng Immortal Gu will be in the Heavenly Court and said that my mission in the human world has been completed, and it is time to return to the Immortal Realm." Don't forget, I'm the Aquarius star in the sky, a living immortal with a full schedule, so it's not good to stay in the mortal pile all the time. ”

Xu Fu arched his hand slightly when he heard this, and asked, "Immortal Chief's words are naturally reasonable, but I don't know when you will set off?" ”

"An hour or two at most, there's no way, it's urgent." Zhao Liang replied.

I heard that the little national teacher was going to ascend to the sky in an hour or two, Si Xue couldn't suppress the affection in her heart at this time, and she didn't care about the eyes of others, so she threw herself into Zhao Liang's arms directly, crying like pear blossoms with rain: "Zhao Lang, Zhao Lang, the slave family can't bear you, please don't go." ”

Changqing persuaded beside him: "Sister Sixue, don't be sad, Immortal Chang has returned to the heavenly realm, and he should be happy for him." As he spoke, he shed tears without arguing.

Zhao Liang gently hugged Si Xue, raised his eyes to look around at everyone, and found that everyone was reluctant and reddened, and hurriedly relieved: "Oh, what's wrong with you?" Changqing is right, I'm ascending to immortal, not going to die, don't make it so sad. ”

Si Xue hugged Zhao Liang's waist tightly and sobbed: "I know that you are an immortal, but you are reluctant." You're gone, and I don't want to live alone. ”

"Don't!" Zhao Liang was taken aback, and hurriedly coaxed her: "You have to give me a good life, maybe one day I will play the Jade Emperor, and I can go down to earth on a business or something, and then I will definitely meet my Xiao Sixue." ”

When Si Xue heard him say this, she felt a little better, and said: "Zhao Lang, Si Xue is the flower name given by the slave family when he was artistic, and if you want to come to the world to find me in the future, you must remember the real name of the slave family." ”

Zhao Liang asked her curiously, "Oh?" What is your real name? ”

Si Xue said shyly: "My home is in Huiji County, and I have always made a living by raising silkworms and weaving cloth, so my mother named the slave family - Weaver Girl." ”

I'll go! Weaver?! Zhao Liang was surprised, and secretly said in his heart: I am the Cowherd, she is the Weaver Girl, this Nima is too coincidental, right? Could it be that the love story that has been passed down through the ages has evolved from us?

Si Xue looked at Zhao Liang curiously, not knowing why he was slightly stunned when he heard his name, and was about to open his mouth to ask, only to hear Xu Fu say: "Please rest assured, Immortal Elder, Miss Si Xue is your family member in the mortal world, and she is also half of our master, we will take care of it, and wait for you to meet her again." ”

Zhao Liang came back to his senses and nodded, "Well, I was about to talk about this." Please bring Sixue with you when you cross to the east, otherwise I will leave her alone in Xianyang, I am really a little worried. ”

"There is absolutely no problem with this," Xu Fu nodded again and again: "As long as Miss Sixue is not afraid of the hardships of the journey, Xiaodao should obey the orders of the immortal chief." ”

Meng Qi also said: "Don't worry, the national teacher will return to the mansion in a while, explain this matter to my mother, and ask her old man to allocate twenty maids to go to the sea with me and others, and serve Miss Sixue on the road." ”

Zhao Liang saw that this arrangement was very appropriate, and comforted Sixue a few words when she heard the words, until she slowly stopped crying, and then said to Xu Fu: "The day of your eastward crossing is not far away, remember the things I explained to you at the beginning, maintain confidence, and face the future bravely." ”

Xu Fu knew that Zhao Liang was hinting at reminding himself that this visit to Xianshan was just a disguise, and the ultimate goal was to establish his own world in the outer land, so he couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and said solemnly: "Immortal Chief, I have firmly remembered the words you instructed my disciples, and I dare not forget them in the slightest. The great cause of Dongdu will be successful! ”

Zhao Liang smiled understandingly, patted his stomach and said, "Okay, let's not just stand stupidly, go and prepare some delicious food, I'm going to starve to death." ”

When everyone heard this, they remembered that the little national teacher had been tossing all night, and by this time he was probably already hungry, so they hurriedly hugged him into the Taoist temple and arranged a sumptuous breakfast for him to enjoy.

Zhao Liang took advantage of the busy preparations of the Taoist children, sneaked to the backyard alone, found the time and space travel aircraft hidden in the secret place, and started the self-destruction procedure of the equipment according to the steps in the operation manual.

Watching the aircraft gradually deconstruct and differentiate, slowly drifting in the wind like dust, Zhao Liang couldn't help but think of Xiao Ya, whose whereabouts were unknown, and his heart was extremely anxious and sad. He secretly made up his mind that no matter what difficulties and dangers he faced, he must personally find Xiaoya back, even if it was to put his life on the line.

After the plane completed the self-destruction procedure and finally disappeared, Zhao Liang planned to contact the headquarters to report the situation, but he didn't expect that at this time, Xu Fu and Meng Qi suddenly came together, and the expressions on their faces were a little anxious.

Zhao Liang sighed secretly and asked, "Looking at your appearance, I'm afraid I can't eat this breakfast again, right?" ”

When Meng Qi heard him say this, he suddenly remembered that when he was in Jingkou Town, he also encountered something after preparing breakfast, which caused Zhao Liang to be hungry all morning, so he smiled embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry for you, it's true." Just now, someone from the palace said that His Majesty summoned the little national teacher, please enter the palace as soon as possible to face the saint. ”

Zhao Liang was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Qin Shi Huang to see him at this time, and secretly wondered in his heart, whether it was related to the big trouble in the Taiyi Immortal Palace last night. Meng Qi seemed to see his worries, and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, the last general has already inquired with the messenger, it shouldn't be for yesterday's matter." ”

Xu Fu also said: "Your Majesty has been sick in bed for the past few days, and today it has improved slightly, it is estimated that he is worried about the immortal mountain chart, so he is in a hurry to summon the immortal chief." ”

Zhao Liang nodded, and said in his heart: Coincidentally, I will meet Qin Shihuang before leaving, so that I can make the matter of Dongdu more solid, so as not to have any accidents in the middle.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand lightly and beckoned Xu Fu and Meng Qi to go with him to the front yard and main hall of the Taoist temple. When I got there, a eunuch who had been waiting for a long time greeted me, saying that His Majesty had only seen one small national teacher, and the rest of the people did not need to accompany him.

Zhao Liang obeyed the order, and instructed everyone a few words, and then boarded the carriage sent by the palace, and under the guidance of the chamberlain, he went straight to the Xianyang Grand Palace.

After entering the palace gate, the carriage did not stop, nor did it go straight to the main hall of the court as usual, but along the palace wall on the right, it entered the harem in all directions. Zhao Liang was a little suspicious, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ying Zheng's gourd. He quietly used the Dafa of voyeurism, wanting to see some clues from the eunuchs, but he didn't expect that those guys didn't know the situation in front of him, so he had no choice but to give up.

In this way, Zhao Liang sat in the carriage of the harem, and came to the front of a palace in a daze before stopping. I only heard the guide waiter say: "Master Xiaoguoshi, Your Majesty's dormitory has arrived, please enter and see the driver." ”

As soon as Zhao Liang heard that this was actually the bedroom of Qin Shi Huang, he felt that today was extraordinary. You must know that those who can be qualified to be received by the emperor in the inner court dormitory are definitely close confidants such as the Son of Heaven's close ministers, and Qin Shi Huang's arrangement directly explains his position in his mind.

Under the diligent guidance of the chamberlain, Zhao Liang walked up the stairs, passed through the two gates, and finally entered the place where the first emperor of the ages slept. To his surprise, the furnishings in Qin Shi Huang's bedroom were very simple, except that the place was much larger, and the rest was no different from Xu Fu's house. Screens, couches, bookshelves, incense burners, and a few heavy curtains, nothing else.

At this time, Qin Shi Huang was sitting cross-legged on the couch, leaning on the small table in front of him, reviewing the bamboo slips, and there were a large number of bamboo slips on the ground next to him, and I don't know whether they had been approved or had not yet had time to review them.

Seeing him come in, Qin Shi Huang pointed to the cushion opposite with the brush in his hand and said, "The little national teacher should be restless for a while, just wait until I am busy with this recital." ”

Zhao Liang hurriedly politely, and then sat cross-legged opposite him in the same way as Qin Shi Huang. Seeing this, the eunuch waiting next to him hurriedly reminded Zhao Liang that he should kneel and sit in front of His Majesty, and before Zhao Liang changed his sitting posture, Qin Shihuang said again: "It's okay, the little national teacher is fine, there is no need to talk about so many rules here." Inner servant, you don't need to serve here, and the right to step down. ”

All the chamberlains agreed in unison, and the fish rushed out, and in the huge dormitory, only Qin Shihuang and Zhao Liang were left. Zhao Liang put his hands on his knees and silently looked at Qin Shi Huang opposite, only to see that his eyes were staring at the bamboo slips, his expression was extremely focused, but his face revealed a deep tiredness and fatigue, obviously he was not resting well, and his body was also overdrawn.

Qin Shi Huang wrote a lot of words on the music, and then carefully checked it twice, and then he was satisfied with the roll and put it on the pile of bamboo slips beside him. He saw that Zhao Liang was staring at him, so he smiled slightly and said, "Is the little national teacher thinking, this emperor has nothing to do, he is tired like a dog?" ”

Zhao Liang was told the central matter by Qin Shi Huang, and smiled embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is indeed too hardworking, and you should take care of the dragon's body." ”

Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang took a long breath lightly, and did not take Zhao Liang's words, but asked: "Little National Teacher, do you know why I am bent on taking the art of immortality?" ”

Zhao Liang was stunned by his question, and was about to use mind reading to probe the standard answer in the other party's heart, but he dispelled this idea again and tried to say: "Your Majesty has great ambitions and is powerful, and I want to borrow from God for another five hundred years, so as to truly realize the ideal in my heart." ”

"Hahaha, the one who knows me, only Zhao Liang is immortal!" Qin Shi Huang was very satisfied with this answer, and couldn't help but laugh: "Ordinary people in the world think that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are even sour and corrupt Confucian students who wantonly slander, saying that I am absurd and immoral, and begging for the art of immortality is just to enjoy the glory and wealth." Hmph, it's really a summer worm, it's ridiculous! ”

He paused slightly, his pale face flushed slightly, and his eyes, which were a little sleepy, were much brighter at this time, and he continued: "Immortal Chief, do you know what my ideal is? ”

"Presumably...... Presumably, it is to unify the world and cover the past and the present. ”

"Hahaha, almost, almost." Qin Shi Huang smiled and said: "Immortal Chief, I think that my dignified Chinese land, since before I die, there has never been a real great unification for thousands of years. Whether it is the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, or the Xia Shang Fortnight, although the Ming monarchs and virtuous lords of the past dynasties have produced one after another, they are divided all day long, and they are in their own affairs. In the long run, our Huaxia clan will eventually become a plate of scattered sand, and there will be no cohesion at all. I inherited the throne at the age of thirteen, and after decades of hard work, I did not dare to slack off, and finally pacified the six countries, unified China, and implemented the county legal system to replace the princely fiefdoms. ”

This is the first time Zhao Liang has heard Qin Shi Huang talk about his grand ambitions, and for the first time he has felt the deep feelings and expectations of this great monarch for the entire nation, he can't help but feel a little enthusiastic, and said casually: "Your Majesty, rest assured, your wish can come true after all!" Two thousand years later, the descendants of China are still connected by blood, united as one, and standing confidently and proudly between heaven and earth! ”

Qin Shi Huang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said happily: "Oh? Immortal Chang actually has such insight? You know 500 years before, 500 years later, since you say that, you can't be wrong to think about it. Two thousand years, I don't know if I will be able to live to that time and see the prosperity coming? Hehe, however, at the moment, I still hope to have more lifespans, this world is unified, there are still many things to be done one by one, otherwise how can I rest assured? ”

Zhao Liang was secretly sad in his heart: it turned out that Qin Shi Huang's pursuit of immortality was not entirely greedy for the glory of the world, but more of an obsession with a super workaholic. He wanted to live a few more days, but it was to do more, so as to make this hard-won world unification more solid and solid. However, no one can escape the laws of nature, and Qin Shihuang's dream will be realized by generations of Chinese.

Qin Shi Huang didn't know what Zhao Liang was thinking, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he thought that it was another heavenly opportunity that could not be revealed, so he changed the topic and said: "Speaking of knowing five hundred years ago, I still want to talk to the little national teacher about something, you come and see." ”
