Li Si secretly lived in the Mafu Jun Mansion, and Zhao Kuo's hanging heart could be regarded as temporarily relaxed. In the early morning of the next day, the old manager, who was over eighty years old, suddenly walked into Zhao Kuo's study tremblingly with a bamboo cane: "Son, there is a woman outside the house who asks to see you. ”

"Nope." Zhao Kuo didn't raise his head, so he refused.

"If you know anyone, Childe will definitely want to see it!" The old manager lit the bamboo cane, but his tone was unmistakable.

"Oh? In that case, let her in. The old manager's words aroused Zhao Kuo's curiosity, he looked down at the bamboo slips, and said leisurely, just when the old manager turned to leave, Zhao Kuo raised his head suddenly, "Old family, in the future, you can supervise the next person in the house, and you don't have to bow down to everything." Facing this old housekeeper who has been in the house for 60 years and watched him grow up, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but burst into tears.

The old butler smiled slightly, but did not answer, but walked out of the study slowly. It wasn't long before a woman dressed in white with a veil on her face walked in.

"What's the matter, just say it." Zhao Kuo put down the bamboo slip and quietly looked at the mysterious woman.

The woman in white slowly lifted the veil covering her face and opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't say a word.

"You ......" The moment Zhao Kuo saw the face of the woman in white, his cheeks suddenly twitched like a stroke, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and stumbled out of the bookcase.

The two of them looked at each other without saying a word, only a few faint sighs.

"Presumably Childe forgot." The woman in white sighed softly and turned to leave.

Zhao Kuo trembled heavily, and the thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart for more than 20 years instantly gushed out: "Ji Xue...... Is that really you? ”

"Yes...... It's Ji Xue...... It turns out that Childe didn't forget! Ji Xue inadvertently saw Zhao Kuo's familiar but old face, her eyes were overflowing with tears, separated for twenty-five years, the handsome and upright young general in her memory is now half a hundred years old, and she is no longer young, "Gongzi is old." ”

Zhao Kuo silently helped Ji Xue to the bookcase, and then sat down with her.

"Xuemei ......" Zhao Kuo's eyes were full of doubts, "Yinshan War, you are not ......" A few years after returning to Qin from the clouds, Ji Hua finally told Zhao Kuo the bad news of Ji Xue's "death". At that time, Zhao Kuo didn't shed tears, but just smashed his clenched fist hard at the bookcase. Since then, every year on the Cold Food Festival, Zhao Kuo will follow the customs handed down from Kuching to solemnly pay tribute to this confidante of the past.

Ji Xue raised her head, stared at the man's gray sideburns, and calmly told her story over the years: In that bloody battle on the grassland, Ji Xue was hit by three arrows in order to protect Li Mu, and her life was in danger. Li Mu hugged Ji Xue like a madman, and gave a death order to the old military doctor, if he couldn't save Ji Xue, he would make a decision! The old military doctor, who was at a loss, had to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and invited a strange-looking Hu Ren traveling doctor from the depths of the grassland. Who knew that this Doctor Hu did have some ability, and under his treatment, Ji Xue miraculously came back to life after turning around the Ghost Gate.

Although her life was saved, the identity of Ji Xue's woman was also exposed. According to military law, a woman's entry into the army is a big crime that cannot be pardoned, but Li Mu, who has always enforced the law impartially, suppressed this secret and still let Ji Xue be his Chinese army Sima. It's just that after that day, Ji Xue obviously felt that Li Mu's attitude towards herself had changed......

Listening to Ji Xue talk for more than an hour, from beginning to end, Zhao Kuo clenched his teeth, trying to suppress the turbulence in his heart. Suddenly, Ji Xue stopped talking and asked puzzledly, "Childe, why didn't you see your sister?" ”

Zhao Kuo hid his embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "Hua Mei is not used to living in Xianyang, so she moved to Liyang." ”

"I heard my sister talk about Xing'er that year, but unfortunately Ji Xue's aunt has never seen it, and I think Xing'er should have the same son as she was back then." Ji Xue tilted her head, imagining her nephew's handsome appearance in her mind, and an innocent smile like a girl appeared on her face for a moment.

Speaking of his son, Zhao Kuo naturally remembered Zhao Gao: "Sister Xue, Gao Er and I have already recognized each other." ”

Ji Xue's face turned pale in an instant, Zhao Gao's matter, Ji Xue was deeply sorry for Zhao Kuo, although maybe Zhao Kuo would never know the truth of this matter, but she still couldn't forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Ji Xue's sudden change of expression did not escape Zhao Kuo's eyes, he hurriedly stood up and gently hugged her trembling body: "Sister Xue, what's wrong?" ”

Ji Xue pushed Zhao Kuo away and shook her head weakly: "It's nothing, in fact, Ji Xue has been hiding in Gao'er's Mansion all these years. Ji Xue stole a glance at the surprised expression on Zhao Kuo's face, and added, "Ji Xue was originally ordered by General Li Mu to enter Qin to secretly assist Gongzi. ”

Zhao Kuo suddenly understood the real reason why he was able to easily subdue Zhao Gao over the years: "In this way, Gao Er is willing to help Kuo act, and all this is also the credit of Xue Mei?" ”

Ji Xue sighed noncommittally: "Sort of, but Gao'er is too scheming, I'm afraid that I will ...... in the future" Halfway through speaking, Ji Xue stopped suddenly, she couldn't explain the latter words to Zhao Kuo, if Zhao Gao'er knew the identity of his Ying clan in the future, what would he do? One day in the future, her son will part ways with Zhao Kuo, and who should she stand by at that time?

"Let's not talk about Gao'er today, Xuemei is here, I'm afraid it's not just to catch up with the old people!" Zhao Kuo sat back on the bookcase, and his face returned to his former calmness.

Ji Xue smiled faintly: "You can't hide anything from your son, Ji Xue came to bid farewell to her son today." ”

"Where is Sister Xue?" In the final analysis, Zhao Kuo still can't rest assured that Ji Xue is still in his heart.

"Yingzheng is pro-government, and Ji Xue has entered Qin for five years. Now, Ji Xue's mission has been accomplished, and he should return to Zhao State. Although Ji Xue's words were calm, but her heart was different, goodbye today, goodbye I don't know what year!

Zhao Kuo tapped the bookcase without saying a word, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Take care, Ji Xue farewell." Seeing that Zhao Kuo didn't speak, Ji Xue stood up and bowed deeply to Zhao Kuo.

"Slow!" Just as Ji Xue was about to leave, Zhao Kuo suddenly stretched out his hand and called out to her, "Kuo has a word, please ask Xue Mei to tell General Li Mu." ”

"Childe, please speak." Ji Xue stopped, but didn't look back.

"Ying Zheng issued an expulsion order, all the people in Shandong were expelled from Qin, most of the Xianyang official offices were paralyzed, and the Qin army was also panicked! Now the Qin State is in chaos, and if there is a war at this time, it will be defeated! Zhao Kuo said solemnly word by word, "Please General Li Mu must do two things, one is to quickly send officials to the junction of Qin and Zhao to stop the officials and soldiers who leave Qin, so that they can all be used by me!" Second, immediately launch a joint alliance and destroy Qiang Qin in one battle! ”

"Clearly!" Ji Xue nodded, and walked straight out of the study......

At this time, the palace of the Qin Dynasty had become a pot of porridge, and the paralysis of the official office caused by the expulsion order greatly exceeded Yingzheng's previous expectations.

"How can this be true? Without the officials of the Six Kingdoms, my Great Qin would be lame and blind? Ying Zheng angrily overturned the bamboo slip scroll on Wang's case.

"My king, in the more than 100 years since Shang Jun changed the law, there are more than 2 million people in Qin Shandong, accounting for a quarter of my population in Great Qin! Among them, the officials of our Qin State, Shandong people account for forty percent, and the officials are as many as eighty percent. Wang Juan said with annoyance, when he suggested that Yingzheng expel the people of the Six Kingdoms, he did not expect that the expulsion order would lead to such serious consequences, it seems that his ideas are still too superficial, and he did not take into account such intricate entanglements.

Ying Zheng was also stunned this time: "How to clean up such a situation?" ”

"And ......," Wang Juan hesitated for a moment and continued.

"Don't talk about it! How to make up for it? Ying Zheng patted the bookcase irritably, panting heavily.

"Please abolish the eviction order, and the minister will immediately send flying horses to chase back the officials and scholars who have left Qin!" Meng Tian fell to his knees in front of Ying Zheng and said with tears in his eyes. At the beginning, Meng Tian was also in favor of expelling people from the Six Nations. Suddenly, Meng Tian saw his own narrow prejudice.

"Waste! The eviction order is going to be scrapped! Yingzheng Huo Ran got up and strode in front of Meng Tian, "Meng Tian ordered you to personally lead two thousand flying horses to intercept the intersection of each exit from Qin, and be sure to recover the officials and soldiers who left Qin!" ”

It has been five days since the eviction order was issued, and the people of the six countries must have already gone almost, although Meng Tian knew that the big mistake was irreparable, but he still had to try, even if only one person was recovered, it would be good for Daqin! Thinking of this, Meng Tian didn't hesitate at all, and immediately arched his hand and said, "No! Let's go! ”

Looking at Meng Tian's distant back, Ying Zheng suddenly sat on the ground like mud.
