Chapter Twenty-Four: Envoy to the Kingdom of Qi
Qin Zheng is a child who grew up in the cold palace, he has lived here since he can remember, he was raised by the old people in the cold palace, his mother died very early, and he only has hatred and endless indifference to this father who abandoned him in the cold palace for more than 20 years.
Just now, King Qin summoned him overnight, he had already expected it, he knew that King Qin wanted him to go to Qi to congratulate King Qi on his birthday, because among all the princes, he was the most useless, the most busy, and the most useless.
King Qin stood on top of the main hall, his eyes were as cold as frost, he glanced at Qin Zheng with deep eyes, killing the cold Qin King Qin Hao, with disgust and contempt in his eyes, and finally he gently spit out a sentence, "You go out to congratulate King Qi on his birthday!" ”
King Qin abandoned him again, before he was left in the cold palace for twenty-three years, he never asked, let him fend for himself, and now he really abandoned him and sent him to Qi to be the hostage, this trip, if there is a war between the two countries in the future, then he Qin Zheng must have no return, and the two countries must kill hostages first.
The harem has always been a place of right and wrong, and the women in the harem who framed their mothers still refused to let go of themselves, and repeatedly sent people to poison the meals and poison him at a young age. Those women also let out gossip and slandered his reputation as worthless, he was the disgrace of the Qin royal family, the most cowardly and incompetent waste of the Qin State......
Now he can finally get out of this cold palace, out of this cage-like cold palace, so many years of hiding and forbearance, he Qin Zheng has always been a person who walks alone in the dark.
Looking at people who are good to themselves, and people who have relied on each other since childhood, slowly dying of old age, it is a kind of heart-piercing pain, like digging out the flesh and blood of one's heart, but slowly it does not become unacceptable, because I have seen too much, I have become accustomed to it, and I have been indifferent. Over the years, those who were kind to him have gradually grown old, and now he is accompanied by a maid, Wan'er.
"Your Highness, you are back, you haven't drunk tonight's medicine yet." The little maid held a bowl of black decoction and presented it respectfully.
"Wan'er, in this Qin country, you are the only one who still calls me Your Highness, the people of this Qin country, don't know that Qin has my highness." Qin Zheng broke off the dead branches on the pear tree.
A pear tree in the courtyard that had been old and dead for many years, its thin branches stretched out into the dark sky like withered fingers, as if it was about to break through the cage that imprisoned it.
"Your Highness is Your Highness, Your Highness is so good, they have eyes and no beads, no matter what people outside say about Your Highness, Wan'er will always serve Your Highness well and follow Your Highness all the time. Your Highness is still the most important body, this medicine is about to cool, Your Highness should drink the medicine first. The maid Wan'er once again respectfully presented the bowl to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng took the decoction, and under Wan'er's surprised gaze, he poured all the bowls of jet-black decoction into the dead roots of the pear tree.
Qin Zheng said: "My illness has been cured. ”
Qin Zheng was in a very good mood, he looked at the dead pear trees and the dark night, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips. There was a deep dryness in that smile, and a sad coldness, and everything was going to be different from this moment on.
Two days later, Qin Zheng, the fourth highness of the Qin State, left the Qin Pass and sent an envoy to the Qi State. The people of Qin have known that there is such a prince in Qin since then, and he is Qin Zheng, the fourth highness of Qin State. Qin Zheng was gone, the cold palace was no longer inhabited, but the dead pear tree came back to life and gained a new life.
Fate has always been unfair, with all kinds of inequalities, differences in origins, and differences in the strength of the body and limbs...... Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Those who are suppressed by the hardships of life, when their limbs are tired, they will also roar, and the prince is rich and rich?
There will always be some dogs in this world, if you are strong, he will fear you, if you are weak, he will bully you, the dogs and flies have always been bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and some people have always disdained to argue with this kind of argument.
Hangu Pass is vulnerable to attack, has always been a battleground for soldiers, the steep and tall mountain peaks go straight into the clouds, nature has carved the strange magnificence of Hangu Pass. A dry heat wave hit, raising yellow sand all over the sky, and a team of people and horses moved forward in the yellow sand, the body bumping and shaking.
The carriage passed by a place where the wheels were stuck in the cracks of the stones and did not move, Qin Zheng sat in the carriage and faintly heard someone talking outside the carriage.
"Why don't you leave?" It was the voice of General Wu, the leader of the team, who asked.
"Back to General Wu, the wheels are stuck!" A soldier of the Qin State replied.
"Then hurry up and call someone to come and push it!" The general, surnamed Wu, seemed to be a little impatient.
"I've tried, but I can't push it." The soldier's tone was a little anxious, his head was covered with the sun as hot as fire, and he didn't dare to reach out to wipe his sweat all over his face.
"What a bunch of rubbish!" General Wu scolded and kicked the soldier.
"General Wu, should we ask His Royal Highness to come down first, and the brothers will try again?" The soldier's voice was muffled.
"What Your Highness? Four Highnesses? General Wu laughed as if he had heard some joke, and after a while, as if he had laughed enough, he slowly walked to the carriage and shouted.
"Fourth Highness, the carriage is stuck......" Before he could finish speaking, the people in the carriage lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
Qin Zheng got out of the carriage with an indifferent expression, he glanced at General Wu indifferently, his eyes were as calm as water, but General Wu instantly felt a chill down his spine, and General Wu's straight waist was lowered a few points.
"Fourth Highness, the carriage is stuck, please come down first, and wait for the brothers to ...... the carriage."
"General Wu is no longer needed, and the carriage is abandoned. The distance from the Qi country is too far, and the carriage is too slow, so at the current walking speed, it must not be able to reach the Qi country on time. ”
General Wu thought to himself, can your weak body withstand the bumps on this horse, and if it blows and rains, can your delicate body and bones withstand it?
But I saw that the four highnesses had led General Wu's horse, so that one was clean and neat, turned over and got on the horse, the horse whipped, the horse neighed, and the person had already gone away.
After being stunned for a long time, General Wu reacted, scolded and was still stunned for what to do, and he didn't hurry up to keep up.
Qingxuanmen Yu Qingfeng recently came to a little young master, who looked pink-carved and jade-carved and looked pleasing and good, but he didn't expect it to be a wolf cub with teeth and claws.
"Shangguan Muli, meet the master!" The young master in brocade clothes knelt on the ground in a proper manner, kowtowed and bowed to the teacher.
Bai Mu, the new head of Qingxuanmen, smiled and helped the little young master up, wearing a light cyan robe to show that he was elegant and noble.
"Mu Li, from now on, you will be my seventh personal disciple of Bai Mu, you are the youngest, you will study with all the senior brothers in the future."
"Yes!"
"Twilight."
"Master!" Chu Durong responded and acted respectfully.
"Mu Li is still young, as a senior brother, you should take care of him, and in the past few days, you have taken him to familiarize himself with things in the mountains. You can arrange everything as it should be!" Bai Mu's voice is warm, among his many disciples, this eldest disciple Chu Durong is the most outstanding, and it is most reassuring to leave this matter to him.
"Yes, Master!" Chu Durong received the order.
Bai Mu left, and all the disciples rushed up to surround the little young master in the middle, and you and I kept talking.
"Little junior brother, I am your third senior sister, my name is Shen Ning."
"I'm your second senior brother, my name is Chu Nan!"
"Eh, you all get out of the way, hehe, Xiaoqi, I'm the sixth senior brother Feng Qingcheng!"
When the little young master heard this, his head suddenly became big, how could he remember so many names at once, his little head shook like a rattle, he pushed everyone away, and shouted in his mouth: "Oops, oops, you guys squeezed me, get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”
"This little junior brother is so cute!" Second Senior Brother Chu Nandao.
"This little junior brother has a really big temper, but I like it!" Feng Qingcheng, who was ranked sixth, stretched out his hand and pinched the little young master's face.
"Didn't you hear what the little junior brother said? You're crowded! Looking at the little junior brother who was a little anxious and embarrassed, surrounded by a group of senior brothers, the third senior sister Shen Ning finally couldn't stand it anymore, pushed a group of wolf-like men aside, and pulled the little junior brother out.
"Okay, okay, you all disperse, go and do your own thing, the little junior brother must be tired after a long journey, I'll take him to the residence first." Senior Brother Chu Durong took the little junior brother, reached out and touched his head, the little young master snorted, his little face was bulging with anger, like a little hamster, very cute.
Qingxuanmen is located in the easternmost part of Qi country, Yuqingfeng is full of clouds and mist all the year round, the mountain is lush all year round, it is a good place to raise people, the nearby villagers call this mountain the fairy mountain, because the people who come out here are all a look of immortal bones, and the entry into the WTO is also a great power of the world, all of which can set off a storm in various countries, and the characters who come out of here are all famous characters on the mainland list.
To say that this world's famous school, the first is the unknown master in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, the perennial dragon sees the head but does not see the end, and the disciples handed over are all wind and rain figures who can shake the world by stomping their feet, but the master has always had a weird temper, and the acceptance of disciples is only based on personal interests and preferences, and the world does not know how many disciples he has accepted in his life...... The second is this Jade Qingfeng, all countries in the world are proud to send their descendants to this Jade Qingfeng to study, and some disciples of other peaks of Qingxuanmen are relatively ordinary, and the disciples who want to enter the head of this Jade Qingfeng are either princes or princes, and no matter how bad they are, they are also the descendants of the prime ministers and generals of various countries.
Chu Durong led the little junior brother to the residence, the little young master, who had always been pampered, suddenly collapsed, he looked dejected, he pulled Chu Durong's sleeve and asked, "Senior brother, will I live here in the future?" ”
"Yes, live here, everyone's residence is the same!" Chu Durong replied.
Shangguan Muli looked at the simple house, his expression was disgusted, and he said something that made people cry and laugh: "My stables are better than here!" I don't want to live here, I want to go home! ”
