Chapter 3 Conspiracy and Intrigue 26 The road is long, and what to rely on
Leaving Handan, Ji Xue suddenly didn't know where to go. Rolling red dust, vast sea of people, try to ask the world is big, where can I accommodate my tired heart? Along the way, Ji Xue didn't eat or sleep like this, and walked forward aimlessly, maybe only when she was really tired could she feel better in her heart.
After walking for several days, Ji Xue came to an uninhabited valley. The empty mountain was lonely, and seeing the sun slowly setting, her heart continued to sink down. "No!" Ji Xue suddenly snorted softly, and staggered all the way to the highest peak of the valley with the sunset, but the sunset did not wait for her, and was still hidden in the mountains.
The twilight dissipated, and a bright moon slowly moved to the middle of the sky, and when I looked around, it was a vast expanse. Ji Xue quietly stood on top of the mountain, and behind her was a lonely shadow stretched by the moonlight, and all night, she stood as blank as a stone statue. Until the red sun rose, Ji Xue, who was exhausted, finally couldn't support it.
Sleepy? Why can't I remember how I closed my eyes? When I fell asleep, my heart didn't seem to hurt so much.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I couldn't tell the difference between morning and dusk. As if I heard someone talking, is that you? Ji Xue tried to sit up, but her limbs were weak and weak, and her head became slightly heavy as her body moved.
"Grandpa, come on, sister is awake!" There was a faint sound of crisp and immature children's voices in her ears, Ji Xue opened her eyes dimly, and in the flickering candlelight, she seemed to see a little girl of eight or nine years old leading an old man with gray hair who was hurrying in.
"Girl." The old man sat quietly on the edge of the bed and looked at Ji Xue kindly.
"I ...... Where is it? Ji Xue opened her mouth slightly.
The old man stroked his gray beard lightly and said with a smile: "This is the valley and the valley, the old man saw the girl faint, so he rescued the girl. ”
"My sister was asleep for half a month, and she was talking nonsense, but she was in a hurry, grandpa!" The little girl on the side couldn't help but be lonely, and chirped and added.
"Little Shuang!" The old man glared at the little girl unhappily, and the little girl hurriedly stuck out her tongue and ran away.
"I ...... I slept for half a month? Ji Xue propped herself up a little incredulously, and the old man hurriedly leaned over to support her.
"The girl is recovering from a serious illness and is pregnant, so lie down and rest." The old man's eyes were full of concern.
Hearing the old man say this, the past appeared in an instant, and Ji Xue's body suddenly shook like thunder, and tears flowed down again.
The old man was startled, and hurriedly touched Ji Xue's forehead, and when he saw that there was no fever, he relieved himself: "Auntie...... Girl...... What's going on? ”
Ji Xue gritted her teeth and shook her head gently, the old man saw that Ji Xue didn't say anything, so he didn't ask again, and after a few more words of comfort, he pulled his granddaughter up and left the house.
The flickering candlelight finally burned out its last remaining light, the room was dark, Ji Xue turned her head to look out the window, the moonlight poured on the bed like mercury, and the unforgettable thoughts spread in this endless silence: "Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart." Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound? Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like a ...... in March"
Ji Xue spent ten years in the Nanshan Mojia General Courtyard in her early years, and at that time she was really calm as water, without the slightest ripple. But since experiencing all the twists and turns after reuniting with Zhao Kuo, it is absolutely impossible to think about it as before. Fortunately, with the company of Xiaoshuang, it is not too lonely. But after a long time, with the deep longing for Zhao Kuo, the hatred that had disappeared was rekindled in this long torment, and a plan of revenge quietly formed in Ji Xue's mind......
In the blink of an eye, a few months passed, and under the careful care of the grandfather and grandson, Ji Xue successfully gave birth to a baby boy, because the child was born in the mountains and valleys of Yanhe, so Ji Xue named the child - Zhao Gao.
The birth of Xiao Zhao Gao can make the grandfather and grandson happy, and Xiaoshuang's grandfather regards Zhao Gao as his own grandson, and the family of four is actually happy. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, not long after Xiao Zhao Gao's full moon, Xiao Shuang's grandfather unfortunately fell into the deep valley when he went into the mountain to collect medicine. By the time Ji Xue and Xiaoshuang found it, the old man had already passed away.
Xiaoshuang lost his mother at an early age, and his father died in the Changping War a few years ago by the Qinshui River. Looking at Xiaoshuang, who couldn't stop crying, Ji Xue suddenly remembered her parents who died early, and at this moment, Ji Xue made up her mind that no matter what happened in the future, she would do her best to take care of Xiaoshuang.
After crying for a long time, Xiaoshuang finally got tired, so Ji Xue got up and picked up Xiaoshuang, who was sleeping deeply, and walked back step by step, the afterglow of the sunset quietly sprinkled on the tomb that had just been erected behind them......
Handan City in early spring was in a peaceful atmosphere, and on this day, Pingyuan Jun suddenly sent someone to invite Ma Fujun Zhao Kuo into the mansion. When I entered the Pingyuan Jun's mansion, I saw lights everywhere and the sound of string music. Pingyuan Jun personally introduced Zhao Kuo into the hall, and a banquet had already been prepared in the hall. After three rounds of drinking, Pingyuanjun suddenly said to Zhao Kuo mysteriously: "Ma Fujun, let you see someone." ”
"Oh? But who is it? Zhao Kuo asked a little strangely while holding up his chopsticks.
Pingyuanjun laughed, then reached out and slapped his palms twice. As soon as the applause fell, two soldiers walked in with a fat-headed businessman in his arms. As soon as the merchant saw Pingyuanjun, he showed an aggrieved expression: "Pingyuanjun, let it go, I'm just a businessman." ”
"Merchant?" As soon as Pingyuan Jun waved his hand, the string music suddenly stopped, and the hall was filled with a solemn atmosphere in an instant. With drunkenness, Pingyuanjun slowly walked up to the merchant, drew his sword, put it on his neck, and shouted, "Be bold! At this moment, do you still want to hide it? ”
When the merchant heard Pingyuanjun call out his name, his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly threw himself on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Spare your life, spare your life!" ”
"Say! What happened to infiltrating Handan? Only then did Pingyuanjun withdraw his sword, turn around and sit back on the desk.
Qi Qi gasped heavily, and after a long time, he said intermittently: "Also...... It's not a big deal, King Qin made a different son as a ...... For the prince's concubine, the secret is not revealed...... Madame is afraid...... I am afraid that it will change over time, and I will ...... So he sent me to be a secret ...... Secret envoy, assist Lü Buwei, help the public...... Childe leaves Zhao ...... as soon as possible"
"Madame Why? But what does it have to do with Lü Buwei? Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the side, suddenly asked.
"Husband...... Mrs. is Huayang's husband...... Madame, Lu ...... Lü Buwei planned the return of his son...... Gui Qin ...... "Although it is the cold season of spring, Qi Qi is already sweating profusely after speaking.
Pingyuan Jun originally thought that this was just an ordinary secret agent of the Qin State, but he didn't expect to ask such a shocking event when he asked. Pingyuan Jun hurriedly waved his hand: "Let's take it down first, so I can take care of it!" The two soldiers put him back on his feet and dragged him out of the hall like a dead dog.
There was silence in the hall, Zhao Kuo thought for a moment, got up and said: "Pingyuanjun, the matter is very important, we will enter the palace immediately to see King Zhao!" ”
"Exactly!" Pingyuan Jun hammered his desk heavily, "For today's plan, detain Ying Yiren!" Kill Lü Buwei! Don't let the tiger go back to the mountain! ”
In a few moments, a reined cart drove out of the Plains Monarch's mansion and headed straight for the palace......
The Lu manor outside Handan City was also brightly lit, and the gloomy Lu Buwei was pacing back and forth in the study, and there were two pieces of news from the trading company just now: the first one was from Xianyang, and Mrs. Huayue had been beheaded in the suburbs of Xianyang because of the private leak of the prince; The second one is from Handan, and the secret envoy Mi Qi, who had been lurking in the city and preparing to receive the stranger back to Qin, has disappeared.
Mrs. Huayue is the sister of Mrs. Huayang, the favorite of the old prince Yingzhu, and in order to meet Mrs. Huayang, Lü Buwei took a large number of gold and jade treasures to play, and won the favor of Mrs. Huayue. Then Lü Buwei exaggerated how virtuous Yingyiren was, how he missed his homeland, how he wanted to recognize Mrs. Huayang as his biological mother, and how he planned to be filial to Mrs. Huayang in the future, and finally deeply moved Mrs. Huayue, and finally relied on Mrs. Huayue to open up all the joints of Yiren's return to Qin.
Now that Mrs. Huayue was suddenly killed, the political situation in Qin State is unknown, if Mi Qi is really arrested, she will confess everything. It's even more difficult for strangers to return to China, but how can this be good?
Lü Buwei suddenly fell into deep thought.
