Zheng County Ancient Cave Chapter 22 Return to the palace
When we returned to Qin, it was already noon three days later. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info rushed for three days in a row, although very tired, but the heart is always up and down. As soon as he entered Xianyang City, he was blocked by several soldiers.
"Lord Su, the king asks Lord Su to enter the palace quickly." A soldier greeted him and said.
"Got it, go back and tell the king, and I'll go." I replied solemnly.
Zhao Zhuo rode to my side and whispered, "Childe, what are you going to do?"
I sighed and said, "At the moment, there is only improvisation, you go back to the thief faction first, and order the brothers not to go out for a few days, and I will enter the palace."
"Yes, Childe". Zhao Zhuo arched his hand and said.
I handed over the Dead Dragon Sword to Zhao Zhuo, and went straight to the palace, to be honest, I didn't feel afraid, no matter how I stole so many ancient tombs for King Qin, he shouldn't have put me to death for this mistake, what worries me is that Li Si, since Liu Tong became Li Si, it is like a different person, both fierce and hot, and more importantly, he is also my younger brother, I don't want to fight with him.
After coming to the palace of King Qin, I was led by the eunuch to the Yixin Palace, which is the harem of King Yingzheng of Qin, and he usually stays here to rest, drink tea and even deal with various events.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw King Qin sitting there dignified and tasting the wine in the teacup, Zhao Gao stood next to him and served, not only that, but even Li Si was there. I hurriedly walked to Yingzheng and bowed down and said, "Minister, Su Hu, visit the king."
King Qin put the cup in his hand on the table, looked at me, looked at it, and said, "Su Aiqing was ordered to go to Zheng County to explore the ancient cave, and now that he has returned triumphantly, seeing that Aiqing is covered in dust, he must have suffered a lot."
"Thanks to the king's love, it is no big problem for your majesty to be blessed." I replied in this way, but it was also polite. This trip to Zheng County can be said to have suffered a lot, and almost lost his life.
King Qin then asked, "Su Aiqing, the prime minister reported to me that he heard that you lost all the gold, silver and jewelry you stole on the way back, but there is such a thing?"
Hearing King Qin say this, I took a look at Li Si next to me, and wanted to find an excuse to prevaricate first, but I didn't expect Li Si to tell King Qin first, how could he know about my loss of gold, silver and jewelry, and whether it really had anything to do with him. I don't dare to speculate, but now that the matter has failed, I can only explain it truthfully.
I replied, "Your Majesty, there is such a thing, the minister passed by Hangu Pass and wanted to live there for one night, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, but after the minister investigated, Hangu Pass guarded Chen Yi and couldn't get out of this matter, presumably he was also instructed by others, so he ...... And the minister is sure that the envoys and those gold, silver and jewels are definitely in Xianyang City."
As soon as my voice fell, Li Si arched his hand and said, "According to Master Su's meaning, that means that there is still a mastermind on this Chen Yi"?
"What the Prime Minister said is true, and I do think so." I replied.
King Qin thought for a while and said, "Then in that case, what do you think should be done, losing these gold, silver and jewels is not a trivial matter."
Before I could speak, Li Si took the lead in replying, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, if these gold, silver and jewels fall into the hands of the five kingdoms, they will definitely be used to expand the army, and the minister thinks that we should find out these gold, silver and jewels as soon as possible."
"Also". King Qin nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then this matter will be left to the two of you, and you must find out all these gold, silver and jewelry."
"No".
When I came out of the palace, Li Si stopped me, and he said with a smile, "I really didn't expect you to be able to come out of that ancient cave safely."
I sneered and said, "Thanks to the prime minister, you are still thinking about it, but you have also made it out of this trick behind the scenes."
Li Si laughed when he heard me say this, and then patted me on the shoulder, "What are you talking about, we are brothers after all, how can I treat you like this, don't worry, I just want to help the king find those things."
"You know where the things are, and I hope that the prime minister will hide the things, don't be found by me, otherwise it will be a disaster." After saying that, I left without even looking at him more, for he was really hateful to me right now.
After leaving the Qin Palace, I didn't plan to return to the thieves faction first, but decided to go back to the palace to visit my mother first, I found a secret place to take off my mask, patted the dirt on my body and went straight to the palace.
The palace is still the same as before, I chose to enter the palace through the back door, I quietly walked to my room, I wanted to change into clean clothes first, if my mother saw me like this, I would definitely scold me.
It's just that to get to my room, you have to go through the lobby, and I don't know if there is anyone in the lobby at this time. I quietly came to the lobby, hid in the corner and looked into the hall, only to see the eldest lady and Wang Ben sitting on the right seat and talking there, which made me really surprised, I really didn't expect Wang Ben to come back again, then I am not dead.
I saw that the eldest lady sighed deeply and said, "It's been half a month, where did Shuo'er go, why didn't you even have a letter."
Wang Ben replied with a slight smile: "Mother, please rest assured, Shuo'er is blessed and nothing will happen, I will send Chengde out tomorrow to find it."
"Hey, Shuo'er, this child has been naughty since he was a child, but I didn't expect it to be like this now, and I don't say a word when I go out to play, which really makes me worry about my mother." The eldest lady took a sip of tea and said.
Hearing the eldest lady say this, I couldn't help but feel sad, I really thought that the eldest lady treated Wang Shuo so much, if he knew that I was not Wang Shuo, what a heartache it would be. I was just about to turn around and leave when I heard Chengde's voice behind me, "Childe, you're back."
Chengde's voice was very loud, and I hurriedly turned around and said to him, "You be quiet." Then I hurriedly turned around to see the situation in the main hall, but it was still a step too late, and Wang Ben and the eldest lady had already walked out of the hall and stood in front of me.
"Shuo'er, you're back." The eldest lady looked at me seriously and said.
I subconsciously pinched my ears and slowly squatted down, and then looked at the eldest lady with a face full of grievances.
The eldest lady carefully looked at my dress, I was wearing a black cloth dress, although it was not too shabby, but it was not ordinary. It can only be said that it is neither good nor bad, neither old nor new. This dress of mine obviously made the eldest lady a little angry.
