After everyone withdrew, Qu Ling was puzzled, the matter was already so clear, why couldn't the stepfather make a decision earlier. was about to get up and ask, but was grabbed by Fu Bo with one hand, shook his head and signaled not to talk nonsense, Qu Ling is such a clever and intelligent person, of course, he stopped talking, although he didn't understand, but he still held back the words that came to his mouth.

There was nothing to do all night, and everyone went to bed early, and they didn't mention it.

When she woke up the next morning, Qu Ling was still asleep in the bed, and a quick knock on the door woke her up. Qu Ling hurriedly got up, got dressed, and opened the door to see that it was actually his mother.

"Mother, you got up so early! The girl has said goodbye to you," he said, kneeling down and saluting.

"That's it! All right! Look at what you can, and you will salute, and go to the head of Yan to do it." Madame happily pulled Qu Ling up, and the smile on the corner of her mouth could be seen that she was quite satisfied with her daughter's performance today, including yesterday. Madame looked left and right, and when she saw that there was no one, she came in and closed the door with her hand.

took her daughter's hand and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and asked slowly;

"Ling'er, let me ask you, can you see your sister? Is she okay? Madame asked with concern.

"This!" Qu Ling didn't know how Fu Bo reported the situation to his mother at first, and he didn't mention it when he was Mo Zhu last night, he knew that he should ask Fu Bo in advance, but at this time, his mother suddenly asked, he was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know where to start, so after a moment of silence, he said:

"Didn't I tell you that, Fauber? Why do you even ask? ”

"Just you and Fubo, that trick can deceive the giant, and you can hide it from my eyes, you are the meat that fell from my mother's body, my mother pulled you big with one hand, what do you think, can you escape, my eyes, say it! Is your sister okay? How have the years been? There was a slight eagerness in Madame's eyes.

Qu Ling saw that he couldn't play this trick in front of his mother, so he could only tell the truth.

"Mother! Sister is very good! I see him with a child in his arms! The child called her mom! Qu Ling said.

Hearing this, tears overflowed in the lady's happy eyes, and she asked happily:

"Really? I'm a grandmother! If your father had known from the spring, I don't know how happy he would be! We have a family to do. "The nature of maternal love is more delicate between generations. Madame hurriedly asked:

"Boy or girl? How old is it? Is it pretty? ”

"It's too far away, I can't see men and women, but I can see children, and there is a red birthmark between the eyebrows, like a fire, which is very peculiar! That is, more than a year old, less than two years old," Qu Ling said as he painted the appearance of a fire with his hands!

While listening, the lady kept calculating with her hands, and kept muttering:

"I think it should be a girl, and this girl, when she grows up, must have great achievements"

"You haven't seen it, how can you know men and women!" Qu Ling said disdainfully, and said with a small mouth cocked:

"When will my mother also tell fortunes? Your old man is involved, and I can calculate it. ”

"Dead girl, make fun of your mother!" As he spoke, he slapped his daughter with his hand.

Qu Ling seemed to suddenly remember something, no longer dodging, still relying on her mother to beat, and when the lady saw that the girl was no longer dodging, she was also stunned. I also muttered in my heart, what's wrong with this girl, why don't you dodge?

I saw Qu Ling raise his head with a serious face and asked:

"Mother, let me ask you, why did you lie to me that my sister is dead"

Madame was silent for a moment, knowing that she could not hide it any longer, and said to her girl:

"Do you remember that the 'Flying Feather Guard' who pretended to be an ink artist was arrested at the main altar of my Mo family that day?"

"Remember! What's the matter, haven't you already been caught? Qu Ling asked.

"Girl, you're still young! Not deeply involved in the world, three years ago, my Mo family came out of the inner ghost, has been lurking in the rudder, the Mo family is in turmoil, everyone in the world knows. In order to find out the inner ghost, your sister had to leave the Mo family's main altar and visit secretly on the grounds that she had fallen into the Baizhang Cliff, and finally found that all the news was gathered on the body of Qin Gongzi Yingji, so she lurked by his side.

I never thought that the two of them actually had a relationship and a child, I really don't know what your sister thinks"

Qu Ling hurriedly asked:

"Mother, have you found out who the inner ghost is?"

Lady says:

"I already have some eyebrows, and I came here today just for this matter"

Qu Ling says:

"Mother, what do you command, even if you say that, in order to capture the inner ghost, Ling Er will not hesitate" said while making a strong man's fist posture.

Mrs. looked at the daughter in front of her and knew that she had begun to grow up slowly, and when she really matured, there was still a considerable way to go, but she was already on the road, constantly experiencing and improving, and one day, she would find her own stage, her own land and the most beautiful flowers.

"Last night, the stakes were very high, and the giant and I couldn't tell who was the inner ghost for a while, so we didn't give a clear order, just because we didn't want to startle the snake and attract the attention of the other party. Last night I have discussed with Juzi clearly, tonight you and Meng Shuo escort Chen Zhuang and his wife back to Shu as the pretext, secretly westward, you first go to Linzi, where the people of the city of Yang of Chu will be there to meet you, pretending to be a westward salt merchant, do not make any stops all the way, go straight to Luoyang, and when they arrive in Luoyang, Chen Zhuang and his wife will go south to the Yingdu of Chu, where they will go west by boat, return to Shu to report to the king of Shu, and at the same time launch an uprising. You and Meng said that don't stop all the way west, enter Hanguguan and go straight to Xianyang. The laws of the Qin State were strict, and all travelers from the East had to register and make a register.

Therefore, after you arrive in Xianyang, you must not act without authorization, you will first live in the 'ancient style restaurant' in Qinguo Shifang, and when the time comes, someone will naturally come out to contact you.

All actions need to be instructed after listening, and you must not act without authorization. You know? When Madame said this, it was as if she was no longer her own daughter, but a real inkman, an inkman who would not even move half a step back in the face of death.

At the same time, a debate about the direction of China's history unfolded in the court of the Qin state. Debate on whether to march into the Central Plains to seize the reign of the Zhou Dynasty! The two sides held their own opinions, and it was difficult to weigh them for a while, so King Wu of Qin sat on the court and listened carefully to the opinions of all parties.

Zhang Yi took the lead in walking out, this 'argument in one word, heavier than the treasure of Jiuding; The three-inch tongue is stronger than the former ministers of the million-strong division. By the time the new dynasty arrived, it had already sensed the direction of the wind and had undergone subtle changes.

At the beginning, he listened to the promise of the Empress Dowager Xuan, hoping to make Gongzi Yingji ascend the throne, but he couldn't do it, but it left a great shadow in the heart of King Yingdang of Qin. Now that the new lord has ascended the throne, Zhang Yi is thinking about how to win the favor of the martial king and keep his glory and wealth.

"King! Although Zhou De is declining, the destiny of heaven has not changed! Today, when he marched into the Central Plains to seize the world of the Zhou royal family, his subordinates thought it was absolutely impossible? Zhang Yi said.

"Ahh Zhang Zi, the widow heard that during the period of the first king, he constantly encouraged the first king, went east to the Han Valley, 'coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes', and fought with General Sima Cuo. Why is it today, but it sings the opposite". King Wu of Qin has never liked Zhang Yi, the vertical and horizontal family of this faction, he has no power to restrain the chicken, he can't write splendid articles, he can't go on the horse to kill the enemy, he knows that he is by the king's side all day long, chewing his tongue, agitating and instigating the king with his own opinions, and he is also famous; Contribute to your thoughts.

"Great King, at this time and at that time, when the first king was there, the eastern countries were fighting each other, and there was no time to look westward, and my Great Qin's national strength could not be compared with today.

The reason why Duke Huan of Qi was able to become a hegemon back then was because of the strategy of 'respecting the king and conquering the king' proposed by Guan Zhong, using the authority of Zhou Tianzi to deter and intimidate the princes, and helping the Son of Heaven establish prestige to fight against the four Yi who did not submit.

Nowadays, among the nations, our Qin State is the dominant family, and the eastern countries are holding each other together in order to protect themselves, forming a trend of unity and indulgence. There are precedents.

Now, if the main force of our Great Qin goes east to the Han Valley and enters the Central Plains, it will inevitably cause panic in the eastern countries, and when life and death are at stake, they will once again move towards the 'joint vertical', and the 'Lianheng' policy that our Great Qin Empire has painstakingly managed for many years will be ruined.

Out of Luoyang in the east, it must pass through Yiyang, South Korea, the city of Yiyang Bali, with 100,000 armor, and the grain is piled up like a mountain, which can be eaten for several years. Korea is a thousand miles away, with strong places like Gong, Luo, and Chenggao in the north, dangerous places like Yiyang and Changhan in the west, Wan, Sui, and Weishui in the east, and Lingshan Mountain in the south. Thousands of miles in circumference, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. The world's best weapons come from South Korea. Xizi, Shaofu, Shili, Yuanlai and other bows can shoot six hundred paces away; The swords and halberds of South Korea are all from the Underworld, Tangxi, Moyang, and Hebo, and the swords of Deng Shi, Wan Feng, Long Yuan, and Da A can cut off cattle and horses, stab the wild goose, and defeat strong enemies; As for armor, shields, boots, and armor, they all have it. With the bravery of the Korean army and the sophistication of the weapons, it is completely capable of being one hundred.

Our army marched east out of the valley. With a small number of troops, a drop in the bucket is not enough to get things done. Recently, the scouts reported that Chen Zhuang and his wife, the minister of Shu, secretly traveled eastward through Chu to contact the eastern countries. There must be a secret here. I, Daqin, must be guarded against.

If our army forms a stalemate with South Korea and Wei takes advantage of the situation, how will I respond? 'Wei Wushu' is a powerful force in the world, when Wu Qi relied on 50,000 Wei Wushu of the Hexi Army, he fought the main force of our Qin army of 500,000, and after 72 battles, all won 64, and the rest did not distinguish between victory and defeat. The bones of my Qin army are still in Hexi? ”。 Zhang Yi's passionate speech is worthy of being the most outstanding columnist in the Warring States.

Suddenly reversed the atmosphere above the court.

King Qin Wu saw that the situation instantly formed a one-sided, and hurriedly said:

"Zhang Zi, good eloquence, the admiration of the widow, you should step back and rest," between the words, King Qin Wu stood up, this tall and handsome new monarch of the Qin State, originally thought that Kong Wu was a powerful person, all of them were full of ugly people, I never thought that there was such a handsome and dashing king.

Yingdang watched Zhang Yi enter the court and stopped, and said slowly:

"The widow has a small wish in his life, hoping to be able to take a car, pass through Sanchuan, arrive at Luoyang, the capital of the Great Zhou, and go to see the appearance of Jiuding, even if it is death, it is also willing!" As he spoke, he looked at the ministers under the hall with emotion.

The people in this hall are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and people among people, and they can hear the sound of King Qin Wu's Yingdang.

Zhang Yi was also secretly complaining, "It's bad, I'm afraid that there will be more and less luck today, I thought that I could say that I could use the martial king, don't rush to send troops, and destroy the national policy of 'Lian Heng', but I didn't think that this martial king would insist on destroying Zhou Tianzi."

Zhang Yi took two steps tightly, preparing to preach to King Qin again, which could make him change his mind and was about to speak, but he heard another voice, and the sound of this voice was undoubtedly fatal to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi's heart suddenly hung up.

"Zhang Yi! You shameless villain, incorruptible and shameless, the most discredited, repeatedly in order to get the favor of the monarch, unscrupulous means, do not hesitate to betray your friends, your own country. If my Great Qin Temple is to let people like you stay here again, wouldn't it make the people of the world laugh off their big teeth! It is not someone else who speaks, it is the "think tank" Zhu Li disease, also known as Zhu Lizi, Yan Jun disease, the clan and general of the Qin State in the middle of the Warring States Period, the son of Qin Xiaogong, the half-brother of King Qin Huiwen, and the uncle of King Yingdang of Qin Wu.

Fortunately, there were many intercessors in the clan, and he escaped from Qin in a hurry, escaped from the Qin State, escaped a catastrophe, and was embarrassed, which led to the shame of his life, and swore that he would not share the sky with Zhang Yi.

After King Wu of Qin ascended the throne, he returned to the court of Qin. As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier. Zhang Yi lived in Qin State back then, relying on the favor of the previous king, being powerful and blessed, flying and domineering, and adding that he had no virtue in his mouth, I don't know how many powerful and important ministers he offended.

This King Qin Huiwen returned to the west with a crane, and Zhang Yi naturally had no backer. Those ministers who were bullied by Zhang Yi on weekdays, when they saw that they were picking up their heads to criticize Zhang Yi, they didn't hurry forward to fan the flames, and they vomited their unhappiness in their hearts.

All of a sudden, the entire court of the Qin State has become a position to crusade against Zhang Yi, everyone is talking about Zhang Yi's mistakes, one scene after another, some and no, what is difficult to hear, what is not said by anyone, no matter whether he was done by Zhang Yi or not, you will carry it all today.

What month is dark and windy, flirting with widows at night, going to the market to buy things without giving money, going to the hotel on credit, peeking at the maid taking a bath.

Zhang Yi felt the grievance in her heart! 'Am I that bad?' You villains, see that I have lost ground today, and one by one I have fallen into the well. No one came out to help me say a word.'

King Wu of Qin is so happy! Secretly pursed his lips and smiled, although he didn't like Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi was also the favorite minister of the former king, and also contributed to the rise of the Great Qin Empire. Besides, as a prince, he and the ministers mingled together to scold each other, and spread it out, and he was not laughed at by the world.

Anyway, you can't scold, then watch others scold, and you can follow the anger, anyway, it's fine.

Zhang Yi didn't think so, Zhang Yi looked up and saw that Qin Wu Wang Yingdang was secretly happy there, and thought to himself, Zhang Yi knew in his heart that this dynasty was a courtier, and King Wu didn't like him in the first place, coupled with today's troubles in the court, I am afraid that he will not be able to stay in the Qin State.

I have to think of a way to leave the Qin State, otherwise, they dare to scold me today, and they will dare to kill me tomorrow, and besides, King Yingdang of Qin Wu likes to listen and believe. One year King Qin Wu fell ill, and the people around King Qin Wu said:

"The king's sickness is strange, and it may not be cured in front of the ears or under the eyes. If you don't get it right, your ears will not hear clearly, and your eyes will not be able to see. ”

King Wu of Qin told the doctor this, and the doctor was very angry when he heard this, and threw the stone on the ground healed, and said:

"If the king is in charge of the internal affairs of the Qin State like this, a major move of the king will be in danger of losing the country at any time."

Zhang Yi's brain was spinning rapidly, it seemed that he had to find a decent reason to leave the Qin State today, otherwise his life would be in danger!

My heart lit up, yes, it's better than this! Look at how Zhang Yi cleverly managed to get out, and watched the temple of Qin Guo where to go.
