Hearing that the emperor had rewarded them, several people were very happy, but at this time, Jiang Lu suddenly said loudly: "Father, the son of the emperor feels that his ability is insufficient, and he has repeatedly felt powerless since his action, and maybe the son is not suitable for this way, so the son wants to ask his father for resignation." ”

"Resign?" The First Emperor's face was obviously stunned, he didn't expect his son to say such a thing after receiving the reward, so he glanced at Jiang Lu suspiciously.

Zhao Jun was stunned in his heart, is he a thief who doesn't admit himself? Li Youbaiying and Gongzi Gao were also stunned at this time, and they both had their own ideas and guesses in their hearts.

Jiang Lu continued at this time: "Erchen has no other intentions, but Erchen thinks it is more suitable to make meritorious contributions on the frontier battlefield, so he wants to go to the Southern Army for training, and he also asks his father to agree." ”

"Oh? Hehe, you're here, I've agreed, I'll give you an edict, and someone will naturally arrange it for you after you go, but I'll be appointed according to your title, and you don't expect any preferential treatment in the Southern Army. After hearing this, Emperor Shi's face moved, and it seemed that Jiang Lu wanted to develop in the military.

After hearing this, Jiang Lu said with a calm face: "Everything is arranged by my father, even if I start as a small soldier, I am willing." ”

When the First Emperor heard this, he smiled with relief on his face: "Haha, you are worthy of being my son, it seems that you have really grown up, go ahead, make good contributions in Southern Xinjiang, as long as you have the ability, I will reuse you." ”

"Thank you, Father." Jiang Lu was immediately grateful.

The First Emperor nodded and said, "Zhao Jun stays, and the others retreat first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Several people left the room one after another.

Walking into the courtyard, Li You and Bai Ying left first, but Gongzi Gao pulled Jiang Lu and asked, "Third brother, why are you like this today?" You must know that the battlefield is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life, and meritorious service is not necessarily as fast as here. ”

At this time, Jiang Lu's face suddenly became a little complicated, and finally said: "I don't want to lose to Zhao Jun, since he insulted me that day, I have been thinking about killing him all the time, but then I also figured it out, even if I want to avenge this humiliation, I also want to win him in terms of achievement, and I can't have an advantage in this operation if I am not as good as him in martial arts, so I want to join the army, and I will use military skills to completely win him." ”

"It's good that the third brother wants to open it." Childe happily patted Jiang Lu's shoulder, and then left first.

In the room, the First Emperor looked at Zhao Jun with an appreciative expression and said: "Zhao Jun, this time you have made a great contribution, and I will make you one of the three commanders of the Black Ice Platform, but your main task now is to eliminate the remnants, and after returning to Xianyang, you will officially accept this position." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, however, the minister still has something to tell." Zhao Jun said suddenly after thanking him.

The First Emperor waved his hand and said, "You say." ”

Zhao Jun opened his mouth and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister once said that he had been followed by someone when he was on a mission, and today Zhao Xie and the three of them were almost robbed, according to the minister's observation, these two times were from the same group." ”

"What? Who is so bold to dare to oppose me many times, hum! The First Emperor snorted coldly and couldn't help but be angry, but then he still asked, "Then how did you get people back?" ”

Zhao Jun clenched his fists and replied: "Before and after this matter, we relied on the help of a businessman in Suiyang, it was he who covered our silent advance in Yangwu, and it was also with his help today that we were able to chase people back in the end."

His name is Guan Ying, although he is a businessman, he is bold and strong in martial arts, I want to ask His Majesty for him to get an official and a half position to comfort his heart, and he can also be an example in the future, anyone who can help my Great Qin will be rewarded, and those who oppose my Great Qin will be destroyed. ”

"Okay, a good person who helps my Great Qin will be rewarded, and those who oppose my Great Qin will be destroyed." After hearing this, the First Emperor said happily, it is indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone if it can deter the enemy and attract talents, and the First Emperor thought about it and said: "In this way, let him follow you to help you exterminate the remnants, and when you return to Xianyang, you will be rewarded for your merits."

In addition, in the future, anyone who has contributed to the elimination of the remnants of the evil can consider absorbing them into the Black Ice Platform as appropriate, which can also enhance the power of the Black Ice Platform. ”

When Zhao Jun heard this, he immediately said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

This is really an unexpected surprise, originally he wanted to ask for an official for the baby, but he didn't expect the emperor to give him this power.

This is equivalent to giving him the right to recruit people at will, although it is said that he can only do it if he has merit, but he has the final say in the action, and he has to be meritorious if he makes him meritorious, and when he encounters talents who can be subdued in the future, he can be directly included in his command.

After that, the First Emperor spoke again: "Also, this time you can go directly to Pei County, where the remnants of Qi and Chu gathered are very arrogant, and the consuls are Jing Ju, a nobleman of Chu State, and Tian Rong, a descendant of the Qi royal family, who plundered the grain and grass supplied to southern Xinjiang back and forth, and the encroachment was very great.

And the war in southern Xinjiang has now reached a critical stage, and I plan to send Ren Huan to Lingnan to fight in place of Tu Sui's troops, so when you go to Pei County, you not only have to exterminate the two of them, but also serve as the county lieutenant of Pei County, and completely open up the grain route. ”

Tu Sui was originally the commander of Zhengnan, but he was a murderous person who did not know how to encircle the local natives, and was suddenly ambushed by the locals not long ago and died of poisoned arrows.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Junzun received the order, and if he could get the position of the county lieutenant of Pei County, it would be more beneficial for him to return to Pei County, but Jing Ju and the others didn't know if it had anything to do with the Wang Ling of the swamp, he remembered that Wang Ling was also a Chu person.

The First Emperor finally said: "I will not interfere much in terms of time, but you must remember that in addition, you must find out who conspired with Gao Yanli to assassinate me years ago, and in addition, the person who followed you this time must also find out, I don't want to see anyone who dares to oppose Great Qin." ”

"No!" After Zhao Jun received the order, he saw that the First Emperor seemed to be a little tired, so he retired.

It's just that before he left the palace, he saw that Jiang Lu suddenly appeared.

"Zhao Jun, although I was at fault for that incident, I will not forget the humiliation you brought me, although my martial arts skills are not as good as yours, but one day I will surpass you in power and make you bow to me." Will Lu said coldly.

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled: "Okay, I always meet your challenges, you didn't have the qualifications to be my enemy before, but now you have." ”

"Then you just wait." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Zhao Jun looked at his back with a thoughtful look, was it him? Is it pretending to be a delicacy, or is it a matter of words?

Shaking his head, Zhao Jun called out to the baby who was waiting outside, and then went directly to Wang Ben again, he wanted to ask if he had caught any fish that slipped through the net.

However, the result made him very disappointed, he didn't find any person named Zhang Liang from the beginning to the end, it seems that he really escaped, but Zhao Jun didn't remember where Zhang Liang went after escaping from Bolangsha in history, only knew that he followed the old man Huangshi to learn a skill, which led to Zhang Liang, who later strategized and won thousands of miles.

Helpless, Zhao Jun had to give up for the time being, and then ask the giant to see if he could get some clues, and finally he began to prepare for going to Pei County, and thought about what other wild talents there were, and they would be accepted when the time came.

On the galloping road to Xianyang in the west, dozens of guards were escorting a carriage at a gallop, and Zhao Gao in the carriage was lying on the bed with a complicated expression, pain, hatred and confusion constantly intermingling.

For a man, especially a powerful man, the loss of personnel capacity would be a huge blow.

Although Zhao Gao was lucky not to die of serious injuries, he often let out a terrible and terrifying scream at midnight, and he could no longer be a person, and became a complete eunuch.

"Father, I heard that you were injured, how are you?" Zhao Fu heard that his father Zhao Gao was injured, so he ran out of Xianyang overnight to meet Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao almost instinctively covered up his wounds, and then said, "Father is fine, you don't have to worry." ”

Zhao Fu didn't doubt it after hearing this, and said again: "I heard that Zhao Xie and the others were killed by Zhao Jun?" ”

When Zhao Jun was mentioned, Zhao Gao's face suddenly became gloomy, and his tone became extremely hateful: "Originally, I wanted to support Zhao Xie and the others, cultivate strength outside, and prepare for the overthrow of the world, but I didn't expect to be found by Zhao Jun, a small wild species." ”

"So what shall we do now?"

Zhao Gao's expression flashed after hearing this, and he suddenly said: "I heard that Zhao Jun was born in Pei County, and he was forced out and fled by a person named Liu Ji back then, I have ordered someone to investigate this person, his prestige in Pei County is very high and capable, we can use it, not only to realize the plan, but also to use their enmity to deal with Zhao Jun." ”

"Oh? So how to do it? Zhao Fu was stunned and asked.

Zhao Gao motioned for him to come over, and then whispered, Zhao Fu nodded again and again after hearing this, and finally said: "Yes, father, I will go back to Xianyang immediately." ”

"Well, go ahead, remember, after you have the result, send our people to contact him privately, and be sure to control him." Zhao Gao nodded, as if he didn't want to say much.

"Yes, father, the child remembers."

After getting out of the carriage, Zhao Fu got on the horse and said to himself with a puzzled face: "It's strange, why is my father's voice so strange today, and his movements are a bit like a woman." ”

Xiapi County is a small county, and the county is usually very quiet, but the people are talking about one thing these days.

That is, there is a madman and a fool in the county.

The madman is an old man, who always likes to throw his boots far away for no reason, and then let the young man pick them up, and he deliberately throws them several times in a row, and if you pick them up, he will let you put them on for him, and finally ask you to meet you on the bridge early in the morning, but when you come, you will be scolded, and he will not tell you the reason, so that you will come back early tomorrow.

In this way, which young man can stand it, although the ancients have a strong sense of morality and did not bully this old man, but they also secretly regarded him as a madman, and over time no one paid attention to him.

As for the fool, it was a young man, who seemed to have fled from other places, and he met the old man's request as soon as he came, and invited him to the wine shop every day, a crazy old man, why take it seriously, so everyone called him a fool, and wasted his money.

On this day, the foolish young man and the madman old man were sitting opposite each other on the stone pier in the bamboo forest.

It's just that the crazy old man didn't look crazy at all, but the fairy wind and bones were imposing, and at this time he said to the young man with deep meaning: "Ofan, I have analyzed the general trend of the world, don't think about the death of Qin and Han, when the Qin Dynasty is not dead, you have done it in vain, and the unification of the world is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, if you want to reproduce the coexistence of the seven kingdoms in the past, it is impossible." ”

The foolish young man is elegant, it is Zhang Liang, who was incognito after fleeing, and at this time he only heard Zhang Liang speak: "It's artificial, but I will keep in mind the words of the master, if I can't do it, I won't force it." ”

"Well, you have this wit to be my apprentice, I have nothing to teach you, some things are my own if I understand them, as for the skills I can teach you, they are all written on it, and how much you can comprehend depends on your skills." After the madman old man finished speaking, he handed Zhang Liang a thick roll of bamboo slips.

Zhang Liang took it and was ecstatic, and finally thanked him again and again, the crazy old man seemed to be quite free, waving his hand and not caring.

"By the way, you said that this operation was all defeated by a young man named Zhao Jun, is he only ten ** years old?" The mad old man asked suddenly.

Zhang Liang nodded and said: "Indeed, his age is only about eighteen years old, but he is very tall, if it weren't for him, the First Emperor would have died." ”

"Well, that's right." The mad old man nodded, and finally said: "According to the information I have received, he is afraid that his next stop will be to Peixian, but, hehe, he is going to be in danger, maybe someone can kill him for you." ”

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and said with a slightly happy fist: "Please also ask the master to solve your doubts." ”

After hearing this, the madman old man said: "I don't know who released the news, saying that the Mo family's lost Juzi Order is in the hands of Zhao Jun, and the Mo family has been divided for a long time, I'm afraid that this time they will rush to Pei County to snatch the Juzi Order and strive to be a giant, so I said that Zhao Jun is in trouble." ”
