"How old are you this year?" Zhao Xing pulled this kid and climbed up a steep slope with a sigh, and stood on the top of a mountain again.

"Fourteen."

Zhao Xing stood on the top of the mountain, and after hearing Zhao Yong's age, his mood was comfortable, and his eyes were suddenly bright. The distant mountains are within reach, the nearby trees are lush and green, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing; The murmuring of the river is pleasant to the ear, and the freshness of the world is intoxicating. The reason why he is in such a good mood is because this little guy will be able to become a monarch next year, and his dream is already within reach.

"With a small river, flowing south, we can follow this small river, so that we have a direction goal, and we can achieve our goal." Zhao Xing pointed to the river, and his tone was full of longing and eagerness for a new life soon.

So, the two of them happily ran to the river, plunged into the clear water, and comfortably washed their already filthy heads and faces. Then the two of them shook off the drops of water from their hands while continuing to walk.

"Teacher, you never asked me for my identity." Shaking off his hands, Zhao Yong had been looking forward to Zhao Xing asking him for a long time. The child's Xiao Xianbei has been suppressed for so long, and he can't bear it anymore. Now that the hope of returning home has appeared, he needs to surprise his teacher and satisfy his little Xianbei.

As soon as your name comes out, I know who you are, or what else would I teach you so attentively? Am I idle? According to my original plan, I went to Handan, married many beautiful women named Zhao Ji, and then chose one called Phantom Cloud, in fact, it may also be given by Lu Buwei, and then given it to someone, made a green hat for someone, gave birth to a mongrel named Qin Shi Huang, and became the father of the first emperor through the ages, this is the life ideal I planned at the beginning.

As a result, when I met you, you cut off Qin Shi Huang, which completely changed my small goal in life, and you hurt me.

Now I want to cultivate you, but I don't ask, so that it seems casual, it seems that I have no ambition for you, and it seems that I am innocent and frank as a person.

"When you meet and fall in love, love is fate. When fate comes, they will gather together, and when fate is over, they will forget the landscape. ”

said it unfathomably and profoundly, pretending to be a good force, but it made Zhao Yong admire it even more, because in this era, there is no Buddhism, there is no fate, and the fresh meaning and concept contained in a fresh word will always make people feel very high.

As soon as he heard about the loveless landscape, Zhao Yong understood, this is a parting. So there was panic in his eyes that couldn't be hidden, and he hurriedly gave a salute: "I met the teacher by what fate, I hope to never abandon the teacher in this life, and ask the teacher to give up the idea of leaving, and teach me day and night." ”

Zhao Xing shook his hands and looked at Zhao Yong, who was a little frightened, giving himself a salute.

The sense of dependence has arisen, and the effect of wanting to indulge has been achieved, and my hard work has not been in vain.

"Okay, since you care so much about the teacher's inquiry, then I'll ask you, but you know, I don't care who you are, I'm forced by you to ask." looked at Little Red Riding Hood with the eyes of the big bad wolf, and repeatedly confessed that he was a frank person, a person who didn't care about fame and fortune, a pure person, a noble person, and I had no intentions for you. Don't get me wrong, especially don't get me wrong. You must know that you forced me to choke when I found out your identity.

"Who are you, why did you get there, why were you hunted down? Where is your home? ”

If you don't ask, don't ask, if you want to ask, just ask what you know and what you don't know, save trouble.

Zhao Yong, who was confused by such a bunch of questions, was stunned for a long time, and then straightened it out, and the two continued to walk side by side with shaking hands.

"My name is Yong, I am the crown prince of today's Zhao State, the only son of the monarch, the year before last instead of the monarch to the Qin State, about the month before or last month, I received a letter from the domestic minister to help Feiyi, the monarch is seriously ill, let me return to China to serve. Because he was afraid that the Wei State would take the opportunity to kidnap me, he asked me to take a detour to the grassland, and prepare to enter the country from Daijun and then return to Handan, the capital of our country, but I was robbed by Lin Hu, who came out to rob, and I chased and fled to the death, and finally all my entourage was killed, and then, you know. ”

Childe, in this era, is not an ordinary title, he is a man of the Gong family, the Gong family, that is, the heir of the monarch.

Zhao Yong is the only son of Zhao Suhou, the current monarch of Zhao State, also called the eldest son, that is, according to the right reason, he is the only heir of the monarch.

The reason why I want to say this deliberately is because of the inheritance of the old Zhao family, and he has been walking on the road of death, and he always does not play cards according to the right reason. Their family's character is really the same iron-blooded, ruthless, tyrannical, and willful.

Especially in capriciousness, that is almost the peak. The character of Zhao Guoren is that there are no rules, extremely willful, whoever he likes will be the successor, and whoever he doesn't like will be killed.

Before Zhao Wuxian, who founded the Zhao State, there were six generations of family heads, and four generations of mutinies were killed. Zhao Wuxian became a country, killed his brother-in-law and sister and took Daiguo, becoming one of Zhao's territories. Then he passed the throne not to his eldest son Zhao Jia, but to his nephew Zhao Huan, and of course there was civil strife again.

And this year, Zhao Yongfourteen, Zhao Suhou is seriously ill, then, in the autumn of this year, Zhao Suhou will die of illness, and the two of them are wandering outside, maybe his father Suhou is willful, and he will pass the throne to some nephew, brother.

In his previous life, I didn't know if this Zhao Yong had ever disappeared, but now he is missing, and if he doesn't appear in time, the throne will not be great. Time is of the essence.

Zhao Xing said indifferently: "Unexpectedly, I also saved a son, and I also became your son's teacher, but since I know that you are a son, your identity is noble, from now on, when I teach you again, I can't beat it." ”

Zhao Yong hurriedly stopped shaking his hands, the water had dried up, and he solemnly bowed to the ground again: "The teacher can't, the disciple is at fault, if he can't die, it's done." ”

The water in his hands is dry, and there is no need to shake anymore, looking at this Zhao Yong who bowed at ninety-five degrees, Zhao Xing admired the ancients of this era, kneeling and sitting without numbness in his feet, and bowing to this arc without bending his waist.

Holding his hands together: "Okay, you don't have to make this gift in the future." ”

Zhao Yong straightened up after completing these standard etiquette: "Etiquette, etiquette is not a cost." ”

Zhao Xing continued to walk in style, "Since you don't have a backache, you can drop it as much as you like, anyway, I don't care." ”

The river is clear and luscious, from the first line, constantly gathering other flows to join, and finally becomes a rushing river, and finally this river is called Tuotuo River. And as the river became bigger, the food of Zhao Xing and the two became richer. There can be fish, and occasionally a pot of turtle soup. Although it still tastes bad because there is no salt, it is much better than dry animal meat or nuts. Zhao Yong's little face also lost its blood color due to exertion, and turned back to ruddy again.

This world is really vast and sparsely populated, according to the saying that if there is water, there should be a home, both of them have walked along the river for five days, and there is no sign of people. This had to make the two of them a little discouraged. But looking at the fertility and diversity of such a borderless land, Zhao Xing was very interested, especially what made him optimistic was that here, when he went out to pay tribute, he saw a black stone exposed on the riverbed, and after careful investigation, he confirmed that this was the mother of industry - coal.

Although he could not develop a chemical industry on this huge coal field, it should be necessary to engage in smelting, increase the output of copper, especially iron, in Zhao State, and arm the army that will sweep Sihe and unify the world in the future.

Of course, the smelting of iron has been a long time, and the iron-smelting industry of Zhao is the leader of all countries. There is also a large cast iron tripod in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is already quite mature. But maturity does not mean fine, for example, they still need a heavy tripod to cook, if they make a thin pot, wow, a million profits, when the time comes, they will have a second way of wealth.

Anyway, no matter what world you are in, as long as you have money, you are an uncle. I want to be an emperor and an uncle in the Warring States.

So, when he continued to move forward, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned to Zhao Yong: "If the prince becomes the king, please give me this piece of borderless land as a territory, first, to commemorate the encounter between you and me, and second, to do quiet and inaction." ”

Zhao Yong agreed without hesitation: "As you wish." Then he added a condition: "But once I succeed to the throne, the teacher should accompany the students in the country of permanent residence, and ask for advice day and night." ”

Zhao Xing had to scream inch by inch: "If that's the case, there will be no one to take care of it here, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”

Zhao Yong promised again: "The widow will reward you with your slaves." ”

So Zhao Xing said again: "There are Zhuang people and slaves, but there is no one to manage it instead of me." ”

"The widow will allow you to solicit retainers and diners in the country and enjoy the status of minister."

"With a retainer—"

So, while the two of them were walking, one made a cunning request, and the other simply accepted all the orders, and along the way, I don't know how many requests Zhao Xing made and how many conditions Zhao Yong agreed.
