Chapter 11: The Collapse of King Zhao
Hong Sanbao was already dangling in front of Zhao Qi's eyes for a few times, at first Zhao Qi thought he was passing by, but almost half an hour had passed, he was still hanging there, this was wrong, trying his best to pretend to turn a blind eye to see when he was going to shake, and when he pretended to pass by inadvertently again, Zhao Qi finally couldn't bear it, and shouted in the direction of his dangling: "What the hell do you have to say, get out if it's okay, don't leave this dangling eyesore."
Ying Zheng, who was chattering and telling stories to Zhang Han, noticed the head of the guard not far away.
Hearing Zhao Qi call him, Hong Sanbao ran over with a fart, touching his head and not knowing what to say.
I can't stand it, Zhao Qi's disdainful eyes are a little tormenting, and he looks at him fixedly: "It's a big man, twisting and pinching like a girl, if you have a fart, don't delay the master, I'll play with the son." Of course, Zhao Qi knew what he wanted to say, maybe he was also contaminated with childlike innocence by staying with children every day, and he couldn't help but tease Hong Sanbao when he had a playful mind.
Hong Sanbao glanced at Zhang Han, and when he saw that Zhao Qi was impatient, he hunched over and attached himself to Zhao Qi's ear and said, "Little young master, do you remember that you promised us to intercede for us in front of Madame?" The little one who didn't hear from him was really anxious, and his brothers were also urging him tightly, so he came up to ask regardless of etiquette. ”
"Well...... It's a bit hard. Childlike innocence, Zhao Qi deliberately frowned and lengthened his tone, wanting to tease Hong Sanbao. He really showed nervousness, and just by looking at his expression, he knew that his heart had already risen to his throat. Zhao Qi was very satisfied with his performance, so he immediately stretched his brows, changed to a relaxed tone and said, "However, with the unremitting efforts of me and the little boy, I finally obtained the forgiveness of the lady, and if you can escape this catastrophe, the little boy is indispensable." ”
Hearing Zhao Qi's words, Hong Sanbao was obviously relieved, and bowed to Ying Zheng and Zhao Qi, saying: "The great kindness of the little young master and the little boy is unforgettable. He had a great time saying this, and it was indeed not easy for a rough man to say it to literature and art.
"Alright, alright, alright." Listening to Hong Sanbao's grateful words, Ye Xuan waved his hand and said irritably, "A good man has to learn to speak as a literati, he can't kill you, who wants you to be a cow and a horse, treat the little boy heartily in the future, don't take revenge." Also, stop cursing the little boy, what does it mean to be in danger? The little boy should spend his life peacefully, and he is not afraid of messing with his tongue, and the master will give you a beating. ”
Hong Sanbao smiled, touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "I also feel that it is very tiring to study literati, or we are talking this nonsense, little young master, you are right, the little boy should live a peaceful life with such a kind person, I am a rough person, I speak without brains, the little young master does not care about the villain, and I hope to forgive my sins."
Hearing this, Zhao Qi picked his nostrils, popped out the boogers casually, and asked Hong Sanbao: "What happened to the horse thieves who were caught?" What is the outcome of the trial? ”
Speaking of this, Hong Sanbao immediately became serious, and said with a solemn face: "Little young master, I feel that this matter is not simple, one of the two living mouths I brought back has committed suicide, that is, the horse thief leader, there is a medicine bag hidden under his tongue, and when he comes back, he has drunk poison to death, and the other is not so decisive, because I am afraid of death, I broke my teeth and took out this medicine bag from under my tongue after I found out." As he spoke, he took out something wrapped in a coarse cloth from his arms, peeled it off layer by layer, took out the pill the size of a finger egg and handed it to Zhao Qi.
"Look, little master, this is this thing."
Zhao Qi took the medicine bag suspiciously, looked left and right, the pill was black, and it looked strange and disgusting, but driven by curiosity, he still put it in the palm of his hand and studied it for a long time, and licked it lightly in the spirit of studiousness, this is the first time he has come into contact with poison when he is so old, I don't understand how those people dare to hide this thing in their mouths, if the appearance is not dealt with, then don't they poison themselves first? This thing is finely made, obviously not from the hands of ordinary people, and Zhao Qi, who was good at poisoning during the Warring States period, really can't think of a few.
"Do you know what it's made of?" Zhao Qi couldn't see anything famous, so he threw it to Zhang Han, he had been by Zichu's side for a long time, maybe he had seen this thing. Zhang Han took it and looked at it, then shook his head and threw it back.
Even Zhang Han didn't know that he was really out of line, Zhao Qi had a headache, not because he didn't understand this thing, he mainly had a headache for the enemy behind this thing, and he wanted to win his life, obviously not a good character to deal with, the most troublesome thing was that he still had nothing for them, just like that sentence: The fear of the unknown is the most dangerous.
Originally, he was not interested in the medicine sachet, but Hong Sanbao said coldly: "Little master, I have also seen this thing, the skin is made of pig urine, but I don't know what is inside."
When these words came out, Zhao Qi's face immediately turned black like the bottom of a pot, Zhang Han pursed his lips and tried not to let himself laugh, but his slightly trembling body betrayed him.
"You fuck, didn't you say it earlier, you all know that it was made of urine bubbles, why didn't you stop me when I licked it just now?" The more Zhao Qi thought about it, the more angry he became, so he simply stood up and punched and kicked Hong Sanbao.
Hong Sanbao didn't resist, just hunched over like that and let him be angry, and when he was tired, he said: "I have long felt familiar, but I just remembered it, I have been away from home for five years, and I haven't seen a pig for a long time, I didn't expect it for a while."
After listening to Hong Sanbao's explanation, Zhao Qi completely lost the interest in talking, and angrily kicked his feet on his ass again before pulling Yingzheng, who was full of admiration, to find Zhao Ji.
Ying Zheng's mind is simple, he only thinks that Zhao Qi is very enjoyable to bully the guard, he still doesn't dare to say anything when he beats him like that, and Zhao Qi's image in his young heart is a little taller.
Hong Sanbao scratched his head for some reason, he didn't understand where he offended Zhao Qi, so he could only attribute this to the fickle character of the rich and noble, looking at Zhao Qi's distant back and muttering: "It is worthy of being a child of a noble family, with a personality!" After speaking, he gave a thumbs up, and Zhang Han, who was watching, felt a chill, holding his sword and avoiding this dirt bun far away.
The first thing Zhao Qi did when he saw Zhao Ji was to tell him the content of his conversation with Hong Sanbao, of course, he deliberately hid the fact that he licked the pig's urine bubble.
Zhao Ji's face was solemn when the medicine bag was obtained from Zhao Qi's hand, it seemed that she had a certain understanding of this thing, and he put the medicine bag away without waiting for Zhao Qi to ask, and said to Zhao Qi: "Today's matter cannot be told to outsiders, even the son must not be informed."
Zhao Qi opened his mouth, but finally suppressed the doubts in his heart, knowing too much was not a good thing for him, so he wisely chose to shut up and nodded yes.
"Who else knows about this?" Zhao Ji frowned.
"Only you and me, Zheng'er, Zhang Han and Hong Sanbao, who gave this thing, know." Zhao Qi replied respectfully.
"That's good." Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhao Qi, and then looked at the stupid son who was staring at the outside of the carriage, and felt a little lonely, why is it so common for a child born of such a noble bloodline as my husband? Even Zhao Qi, an outcast, can't compare.
If Zhao Qi knew his thoughts, he would definitely laugh at her for being ignorant, although Yingzheng looks stupid now, but his future achievements are definitely unprecedented, and there is no one to come.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Qi to know Zhao Ji's thoughts, jumped out of the carriage, Ying Zheng was like a fart behind him, hurriedly got into the tent that Li Xin had just set up, and lay down on the straw mat in Li Xin's scolding, Ying Zheng did the same. Zhao Qi lay on his back, still having palpitations when he recalled the matter of the horse thief, shook his head and left the trivial matters behind, a wave of tiredness hit, he closed his eyes, it was better to sleep regardless of what to do at this time.
Late at night, quietly around the camp, Li Xin held a pot of wine and sat on the outside of the tent where Ying Zheng and Zhao Qi were resting, and when the tent came out of the snoring sound, he took a beautiful sip of thick wine, with a smile on his face. He looked lazy, but his eyes were looking around vigilantly, this was the last chance to assassinate Ying Zheng, once he entered the city, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to do it again, he didn't believe that the gang of people who instigated the horse thieves to rob and kill the little boy during the day would not send assassins over.
At the same time, the eunuchs and palace maids of the Qin Palace's palace were in a mess, running around in a hurry, and the young woman was kneeling on the ground and crying, looking at the old man on the bed with her eyes closed, her eyes were full of fear.
The dark forest pierced with the faint sound of footsteps that were almost inaudible, Li Xin's ears moved, even if they were hidden deeply, they still couldn't escape his ears, he put down the wine jug, stood up and blended into the night with a jump. After him, several more dark shadows followed him in the direction he had vanished.
"It's really careless, I don't know if I left someone to guard my son." Zhang Han jumped down from the tree, still carrying a fainting man in black, he threw the man in black on the ground, sat where Li Xin was just sitting, picked up the wine jug on the ground, pulled out the stopper and tasted it, it felt good, and drank the pot of wine in one go.
Qin Shi's thick wine was made of miscellaneous grains, and there was no degree, and he didn't want to add alcohol like the wine of later generations, so Zhang Han, who drank for the first time, drank half a pot of wine and leaned against the tent like a nobody, with a gleam in his eyes.
As soon as the sun rose over the horizon, the gates of Xianyang opened, and today's Xianyang was very chaotic, and the sergeants who were basically invisible on weekdays filled the entire street today.
Looking at the hurried officials on the city wall, while others were still guessing what was going on, Zhao Qi was unhurriedly wiping his face with a damp cloth, there was not so much water to wash his face outside the dry land city, so he could only use this method to clean his face.
Zhang Han looked at Zhao Qi, who was methodically wiping his face, and said, "You don't seem to be curious about what happened in the city at all?"
Zhao Qi wiped his face unhurriedly, then looked at Zhang Han and said, "Count the time, King Qin should also die."
Zhang Han was dumbfounded, stared at Zhao Qi for a long time before asking, "Do you know how to tell fortunes?"
