Zhaojia Village.

When the messenger of Xianyang's decree arrived, the village chief of Zhaojia Village had a stunned face on his face.

"How did I, a village chief, become Hanyang-kun?"

Zhao Shuang's flattered appearance made the messenger call this soil bun in his heart.

"This is the grace of the king!"

The messenger smiled, although he looked down on the dirt buns in this poor ravine, but he had a smile on his face. Before leaving, Lü Buwei gave him the task of urging this Hanyang monarch to leave for Xianyang as soon as possible.

"When will the gentleman leave for Xianyang?"

"To Xianyang? Gotta go, gotta go! ”

Zhao Shuang nodded, as if he had just turned back from a dream.

"But since it is an audience with the king, it must be a little grander, and when I have enough money, I will buy dozens of decent clothes for myself and my attendants, and a dozen carriages loaded with tribute, and then I will set off."

"How long will it take?"

The envoy's face was full of question marks, but he sighed when he saw Zhao Shuang.

"We are poor here, and when the silk, lacquer, and sauce produced in the village go to Wancheng, which is hundreds of miles away, to exchange money, it will only be two or three months!"

Two or three months?

"Ahh By the way, a few days ago, the people in the village caught an iron-eating beast from the mountains, and I don't know if anyone wants it, if anyone is willing to bid, this day may be shorter. ”

"Iron-eating beasts?"

The attendant behind the envoy accidentally snorted, but saw that Zhao Shuang was interested, and said it endlessly.

"If you want to say that this iron-eating beast has a lot of origins. It is rumored that when the Yellow Emperor fought Chiyou, he taught the bear to play the tiger and the tiger, and this iron-eating beast was ........"

The messenger was not easy to interrupt, but he heard Zhao Shuang speak, and he spoke for an hour at once, and he was drowsy when he heard it.

"Therefore, this iron-eating beast is a divine beast, if it can't be sold, it is not impossible to offer it to the king."

Finally, after Zhao Shuang finished speaking, the envoy could finally interject.

"But your lord, isn't these two or three months too long?"

"This meeting with the king, no matter how grand the preparation is, how can it be sloppy."

Zhao Shuang looked serious and very cautious.

"You see, in our poor place, there is nothing of value. Your Excellency has finally come here, and there is nothing to entertain, so let me ask the villagers to hunt some wild animals and pick some peaches, and bring them back to you! ”

The envoy saw Zhao Shuang wave his hand, and the two eight-foot heroic subordinates beside him had a send-off expression, and he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it after all.

"The next official retired."

Zhao Shuang saw that the messenger from Xianyang had withdrawn from the house, and his face was happy, and he jumped up suddenly.

The ink crow and the white phoenix fell into the house from the roof, lining up on both sides of Zhao Shuang.

"Lu Buwei wants to pull the lord to Xianyang!"

Zhao Shuang was very happy, Lu Buwei's move may have bad intentions, but it also solved the biggest problem that plagued Zhao Shuang.

The issue of the legalization of land.

With this title, Zhao Shuang can blatantly integrate the forces on the land under his command.

The biggest difference compared to before is that he can build the city wall.

As for going to Xianyang!

"The most important thing at this moment is to build the Mo family's rudder, and when this matter is completed, let's talk about it!"

All the disciples of the Mo family in the land of Qin and Chu need a place to give orders in a centralized manner. This place must be secretive, and it must be able to hide from the eyes and ears of external forces and even the Yan and Zhao forces within the Mo family. Therefore, Zhao Shuang hid it in his own territory, although it was dangerous, it could hide people's eyes.

"And where is Lü Buwei?"

Zhao Shuang waved his hand, not caring at all.

"Drag it first!"

........

Prime Minister's Office.

"The village is poor, when you have all the money, will you come to the royal capital to meet you?"

Just rushed back from Zhao Shuang, thousands of miles away, the wind and dust, the messenger knelt on the ground, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"It's the prime minister's consideration, you bring a thousand gold, plus a hundred Shu brocades, twenty carriages, and utensils, to bring to Hanyang Jun for the prime minister, and ask him to come to Xianyang immediately."

The envoy thought that Lü Buwei would be angry, but he was quite kind and pleasant, without the slightest anger.

But the envoy made a difficulty, since ancient times, only the feudal lords paid tribute to the princes, how could it be the other way around, and it was not easy for him to reimburse this account!

"This.... Xiangbang, this account can't go down to Shaofu! ”

"I'm out!"

Lu Buwei looked calm, and when he said this, the envoy was stunned.

"In addition, you are asking the imperial doctor in the palace to bring all kinds of medicines, and go to Yongdi together, and be sure to bring Hanyangjun back."

When the envoy retreated, Lu Buwei touched his beard and smiled slightly.

"This kid really can't slip his hands!"

"Xiangbang, if Zhao Shuang keeps dragging it out, this Xianyang and Yongdi are thousands of miles apart, and they go back and forth several times, how can it be half a year smaller!"

Chang Yu stood under Lu Buwei and said slightly. There was a rift between Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei, but they were still able to hold each other together, because their common enemy, Cheng Chan, had not yet fallen.

Lu Buwei glanced at Chang Yu and asked.

"Is the net ready?"

"It's all ready, but Zhao Shuang doesn't come, all the preparations are in vain!"

"It doesn't matter, Zhao Shuang is just an introduction, Changping Jun and Cheng Chan are the biggest enemies. This arrangement is not just for a Zhao Shuang. ”

.......

When the envoy returned to Zhaojia Village with the imperial doctor in the palace, this farewell was a month.

During this month, the envoy tossed back and forth, and did not even return home.

Originally, he wondered why Lu Xiangbang wanted him to bring the imperial doctor in the palace over.

But when the envoy saw Zhao Shuang lying on the sickbed with a pale face, he finally understood.

However, Lü Buwei guessed the beginning, but not the end.

"That iron-eating beast is very fierce and wild and untamable, and this gentleman was accidentally injured by it."

The imperial doctor can see through the pretending illness, but what are you going to do with this external injury?

"Fortunately, Benjun raised it first. If this iron-eating beast is sacrificed to Xianyang, there will be chaos and the nobles in Xianyang City will be injured, and this gentleman will be a sinner! ”

Zhao Shuang's face was well aware of righteousness and worried about the king, obviously he looked so righteous and awe-inspiring, but the messenger looked at the blood mark on his arm that he didn't know how, why did he want to cry so much!

It's better to make your fake a little more realistic!

"Your Majesty! You will go to Xianyang with the lower officials, if you don't leave, Xiangbang will have to ask for my head. ”

The messenger knelt in front of Zhao Shuang's bed, crying bitterly, looking very bitter.

"What are you doing, I can't stand it."

Zhao Shuang got up, but before he was halfway up, he lay back and coughed.

"Benjun also wants to, but the conditions really don't allow it!"

"If you don't say that this iron-eating beast is a divine beast, Chiyou didn't lose unjustly back then!"

Zhao Shuang sighed slightly, his face full of grievances.

"Benjun was just lightly grabbed by this divine beast, as if half of his soul was gone, and the whole person had no strength, and he didn't know when he would be able to recover."

"Confucius said to respect ghosts and gods and stay away. The words of the sages are really profound, the power of this divine beast is beyond the reach of extraordinary people! ”

"As soon as I get better, I will go to Xianyang immediately, and I will not delay for a quarter of an hour. Xiang Bang is wise, I think I will understand. ”

Speaking of this, the envoy saw that the two strong men who were eight feet tall last time were in a standard posture of sending off guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please recuperate, please!"
