When Lu Pheasant returned to Xianyang with Wei Yu, it was just in time for the dog days. Along the way, it can't be said that it is windy food, sleeping in the open air, and it is extremely hard to withstand the high temperature. Li Xin was like an arrow when Lu Pheasant finally left to return to China, and he didn't know if Xianyang had a beautiful wife and concubine waiting.

As soon as she returned to Xianyang, she finally chose to go home to visit her family first, and then enter the palace to see Qin Zheng, who she hadn't seen for two or three months. After all, the results of her mission had already been sent to Qin Zheng's desk, and there was no need to report it in a hurry now.

Everyone in the Lu family got the news early, and it happened that today's Chinese culture was also resting, and the family servants were going to prepare some of Lu Pheasant's favorite food, and Lu Changjiao wanted to share with her the wooden machinery she had recently drummed up. After Lu Pheasant got off the carriage, before he could bow down to his parents and say hello, he was hugged by Lezi and said: "My son has lost a lot of weight, and his face has darkened a lot. ”

"Mother, let's let me go first. People come and go on the street, and then talk about it when you go home. "Lu Pheasant is such a big person, it is inevitable that he is a little embarrassed to be treated intimately by his mother. She saw Lu Gong, who was standing on the side, watching her hugging her mother, looking away with some embarrassment, and persuading her mother with a smile.

Lu Changjiao, who was waiting outside the door, also learned to have fun and hugged Lu Pheasant before letting go of her. When the group returned to the hall, she greeted Lu Gong with a smile, and then greeted her brother one by one. She asked her servants to share the meaning of the gifts she had brought back with her family, including cloth for her mother and sister, swords for her two brothers, and a broken book for her father, which is said to have a long history and is unknown whether it is true or not.

She told her brothers and sisters, who rarely traveled far away, as stories about the people and things she encountered during her mission, and they were so fascinated that she almost thought that she could become a novelist. Naturally, she did not tell her parents about the danger she encountered, this trip was already dangerous, and it would be even more unfilial to frighten her parents again.

Lu Gong listened carefully to his daughter's experience, and was inevitably proud and lost. She was so good and so independent, it made him feel distracted. Lu Pheasant saw that only his father was silent in the family, and he had to ask, "What does Father think I should do?" ”

"Ah, very good, very good. I'm so proud of my son. Lu Gong took back his somewhat lost thoughts and praised his daughter's achievements from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Pheasant thought about the person who lived in the hostel, and thought that it would be better to introduce Qin Zheng first, otherwise she would work so hard to bring a big living person back to Xianyang to ask for hardship? She explained to the two brothers who were looking at the sword: "Eldest brother and second brother, these two swords were brought back to you by Long Yangjun, and he said that you were taught by him, but it is really inappropriate not to have a sword worthy of it. ”

"Doesn't the fourth sister still lack a gift from me and my eldest brother?" As if suffering a huge loss, Lu Shizhi jumped up and asked Lu Pheasant for other gifts. Lezi stretched out his hand and slapped his second son on the head, and said with a calm face: "Ask for a gift from your young sister, who taught you?" ”

"Mother, I'm just joking, why take it seriously." Lu Shizhi hugged his head and begged for mercy, but his appearance amused his family.

Lu Pheasant had also seen his family, and the palace gate would be locked and unable to enter or exit later, so he got up and said goodbye to Lu's father and Lezi: "Father, there is another person who has outstanding talent when my mother returns to the country with me, and I want to introduce it to King Qin." If you don't go today, you will have to put it off for another day, which is really inappropriate. Please forgive my daughter for not being able to stay with me all the time, and I have to go out for a trip. ”

"It's important to get down to business! When you see the king, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not be pampered and arrogant. Lu Gong thought about how much Qin Zheng loved Han Fei these days, and the words of reminder turned around a few times in his mouth, and finally only reminded him vaguely.

"Yui." After Lu Pheasant responded, he summoned the coachman to take him to the hostel where Yu was staying.

Not to mention how Lu Pheasant took the meal out of the hostel, when the two of them entered the palace, Yu still didn't react. He looked at Lu Pheasant, who looked relaxed, and asked, "King Qin actually let you enter and leave the palace at will?" I never expected you to be so favored by King Qin! ”

"What is pampering? It's a credit! She snorted and retorted. Lu Pheasant didn't want to reveal his plans in Han and Wei, nor did he want to reveal the Queen Mother's privacy. What's more, if these things are known to the people in front of you, it will definitely be a disaster rather than a rich.

Although they had been unimpeded outside Qin Zheng's dormitory under the leadership of Lu Pheasant, they were still blocked by the eunuchs. The eunuchs searched strictly, but Lu Pheasant had no opinion on this routine inspection. After all, in addition to war generals, lobbyists, and other people in this era, there is another type of person who is extremely famous, and that is the assassin.

No one was allowed to enter the palace of King Qin with weapons, and the guards outside the door were not allowed to enter without a call. This has always been a very good rule, and it was not broken until a person named Jing Ke met the King of Qin in the future.

Qin Zhengduan sat behind the desk with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, seemingly concentrating on reading, but in fact, his eyes kept staring at the two people outside the hall. When Lu Pheasant led people to bow down closely, he put down the scroll in his hand and said to Lu Pheasant: "Hasn't the widow already exempted you from etiquette?" Forgot the words of the widow to the horizon, huh? ”

The slightly magnetic voice reached Lu Pheasant's ears, and she didn't do that respectful etiquette, she got up and introduced to Qin Zheng with the corner of her clothes: "Wei has a missing pearl, I specially brought it back to the king." I wonder if the king is still satisfied? ”

"I haven't seen it yet, how do I know if I'm satisfied? Get up, and let the widow test you. Although Qin Zheng believed in Lu Pheasant's ability to recognize people, he had to be cautious about the interview. There are people who are talented but not necessarily suitable for officials, such as Han Fei, who is living in the embassy director's residence.

Kneeling on the ground and listening to the familiar conversation between the two, ignoring the humility and feeling very absurd, this is really in the capital of the Qin State, which is known as the country of tigers and wolves? Is this really in front of King Qin?

He got up slowly and carefully looked at the King of Qin in front of him, trying to distinguish his face. King Qin had a high nose, slightly narrow eyes, chest muscles abruptly propped up the royal robe, and his magnetic voice sounded like a wolf's roar to him. However, it is very interesting that the fortune that should have been clearly observed seems to be disturbed by the heavens, and it is really interesting that the face that should be unkind and mean is now unknown.

"I don't know what the king wants to know, but it doesn't hurt to ask." I don't know what King Qin intends to ask, but thinking about how long he has been studying, his heart has slowly calmed down.

King Qin didn't have any difficult questions, but just asked how to unify the six kingdoms now. He was very surprised to look at Lu Pheasant, who was eating snacks next to him, and repeated the words he had said when he talked to Lu Pheasant before.

"Yes, very good. I don't know what Mr. would like to do? Qin Zheng didn't expect that Lu Pheasant really invited him a great talent, and wanted to use a suitable position to entrap him.

Without waiting for a reply, Lu Pheasant interjected and proposed: "I don't know what Mr. thinks of Wei Yi?" No matter how she listened, she thought that Wei Yi was more agreeable, what if he called Nei Shi Teng in the future.

"Oh? Captain or Lieutenant? Qin Zheng looked at him, and his voice was indeed asking Lu Pheasant, who was eating and drinking nonsense.

Lu Pheasant heard Qin Zheng deliberately ask while she was eating, and hurriedly took a sip of water and swallowed the snack and said, "Mr. has rare talent, since he wants to make suggestions for reunification, how can he not be appointed as a national lieutenant?" ”

"Sir has no size skills, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and he will be a fake lieutenant for the time being. I wonder if Mr. ever had a place to live? If there is no one for the time being, you may wish to arrange it for the widow. Qin Zheng thought about changing the current state lieutenant to another position, leaving an official position for the lieutenant, and worrying about his residence.

Wei Yu thought that living in a hostel was not a long-term solution, so he thanked Qin Zheng for his arrangement, and the eunuchs took him to his new residence.

As the sun set, the originally somewhat dark hall was plated with a layer of gold edges. Lu Pheasant thought that she had just returned to Xianyang today and had not been with her family, so she stood up and walked in front of Qin Zheng and asked: "I am busy recommending talents to the king today, and I haven't stayed at home for a long time." If there is nothing else for the king, I will take my leave. ”

Qin Zheng originally didn't have any ideas, but when he heard her request, he rebelled, thinking that Wei Guo's horror when he heard Li Xin's return today was still a little afraid: "Why didn't you listen to Li Xin's words in the first place, so that he would survive after being cut off?" Don't you learn the art of war for a few days and look down on the people of the world? ”

Such words are not so much reprimanding yourself as caring for yourself. Lu Pheasant's heart warmed, and his face still looked cynical: "I naturally have some considerations, if King Wei's mind is changeable, he will only stop me outside the pass." The Wei people are now unscrupulous generals and unscrupulous soldiers, and it is fortunate that the people who can attack me are not Er'er.

On that day, General Li's subordinates all killed the enemy bravely, I wonder if the king has rewarded the soldiers? If they hadn't driven me forward, I'm afraid I would have been a guest in Wei until the king sent an army to save me. ”

"The reward has long been over, Li Xinji has been promoted to an official doctor for Langzhong, and there are many rewards for his short soldiers. Why don't you ask about your reward? Qin Zheng casually said what Lu Pheasant cared about, and watched the sky outside the hall getting darker and darker, with a slight smile on his face.

"It turned out to be General Li's personal soldier, no wonder he used it like an arm. How is the Queen Mother doing lately? There are also some times when I haven't seen the Queen Mother, and if it is not late today, I must visit the Queen Mother. Oops! It was getting late, so I took my leave. As he spoke, he noticed that there was a sparkling fire outside the hall, and realized that he was afraid that he would miss the lock, so he turned around and was about to run outside the hall.

At this time, the palace door was locked, and he could only go out of the palace in a hanging basket. You also said before that you wanted to visit the Queen Mother, why don't you accompany the widow to visit the Queen Mother now? The Queen Mother will keep you in the palace. Qin Zheng clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it behind his waist, with a restrained smile on his face, and his voice was flat to propose.

Lu Pheasant scratched his head in distress, thinking that it was really inappropriate to break the palace rules and open the door for himself, and if he sat on the hanging basket and staggered and thought about it, he would be very frightened. There was no way, so she had no choice but to agree to Qin Zheng's proposal, she thought that she was still waiting at home for her family to ask Qin Zheng: "It has to be like this, but I once told my family that I want to go home and reunite." Now that he is unable to return home, he hopes that the king will send someone to deliver a message back, so as not to worry his family. ”

"As you wish." Qin Zheng called the eunuch on the side to send a message to the Lu family and asked, "I don't know what to worry about in the widow's palace?" ”

Lu Pheasant opened his mouth and replied without thinking: "As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, how can I always accompany you with you?" ”

She was looking at the eunuch who walked out of the palace gate at this time, and she didn't notice that Qin Zheng's face suddenly became gloomy when she heard her words.
