"Whether you guess right or not, it's useless to fight for this, King Zhuang Xiang is now deeply poisoned, and he doesn't care about this now." The shrill male voice didn't seem to want to talk to him more about this issue, and lightly pulled away from the topic.

"So what's the concern?" The rugged male voice listened to his words and asked curiously.

The sharp male voice squinted at both sides, and then whispered: "Naturally, I am concerned about the issue of succession, and now we are talking about who should succeed King Zhuang Xiang after his death." ”

Qin Qing heard them talk about the succession, so she got up and looked out through the gap in the screen, only to see two men whispering with their heads down at the table closest to the box she was in. One of them had a full beard and a rather stout body, with a kind of heroic air. The other is a sharp-billed monkey with a small body, and his eyes are shining from time to time when he speaks.

The bearded man said: "Spread the righteousness of the country, respect the unification, of course, the successor is Gongzizheng, what else is there to discuss." ”

"Gongzi Zheng? Respect for the unification? The lean man's tone was a little disapproving, and when he saw that the diners around him were looking at him, he lowered his voice and muttered: "The eldest son of King Zhuang Xiang may not be Gongzizheng. ”

He said this very softly, and the diners sitting around did not hear what was said, and they were all very curious. But the bearded man sitting beside him heard very clearly, and asked with some puzzlement, "How do you say this?" ”

The lean man looked surprised, and his tone couldn't help but raise a little: "Haven't you heard anything during the time you have been in the Qin Kingdom?" ”

The bearded man shook his head suspiciously: "Brother Hou, you also know that the younger brother has been in the Yan Kingdom before, and he only came to the Qin Kingdom to seek a living recently, and I don't know much about this Xianyang matter." ”

"When King Zhuang Xiang was still a son, he had been a proton in Zhao for many years, and he was a proton when he was a proton. Later, King Zhuang Xiang fell in love with Lord Lu's concubine, Zhao Ji, and Lord Lu dedicated Zhao Ji to King Zhuang Xiang as his wife. The thin man looked very mysterious, as if he was telling some secret that no one else knew.

"I've heard of these, what does these have to do with whether Gongzi Zheng is the eldest son?" The bearded man interrupted the thin man in a loud voice, as if he was a little dissatisfied with him.

"Be quiet, of course it matters, you listen to me slowly." Seeing that he had attracted the attention of the diners around him, the thin man quickly pulled his sleeve and lowered his voice: "Women are all pregnant in October, but nine months after Zhao Ji married King Zhuang Xiang, she gave birth to a baby boy, and this baby boy is Gongzizheng, so this Gongzizheng's biological father, hehe, it's really hard to say!" ”

The bearded man suddenly understood what the thin man meant, and then the two began to drink and eat, and no longer discussed the topic of King Zhuangxiang and Gongzizheng.

During the whole conversation, although the thin man repeatedly lowered his voice, his voice was already sharp, and the words he said later were not only heard by Qin Qing, who was standing behind the screen and peeking, but also into the ears of the diners who were closer to him. After he finished talking about this, the middle-aged Confucian sitting behind him asked Xiao Er to settle the bill, and then walked out of the Drunken Immortal Residence.

Not long after the middle-aged Confucian left, the bearded man and the thin man also checked out and left. As soon as the two left, Qin Qing took Steward Yu and Xiu'er out of Xianyang in a carriage.

The carriage drove to a small forest about five or six miles away from Xianyang and stopped, and Qin Qing and the three of them got out of the carriage. Steward Yu looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whistled, as if he was playing a code. As soon as the whistle fell, two people walked out of the woods, it was the bearded man and the thin man who had just left the Drunken Immortal Residence.

When the two of them saw Qin Qing and the others, they immediately stepped forward and said, "I've seen the young lady." ”

"Don't be polite, you did a good job just now, it's just that the two of you have to leave the Qin State for the time being." Qin Qing asked Steward Yu to take out a package from the car, handed it to the two of them, and continued: "There are two letters here, one is handed over to Master Zhao Cheng Zhao in Handan, and he will take you in; The other letter is given to Qin Wen in Zhao Cheng's mansion, and he will tell you what to do. And some jewels to keep you coiled around on the road. ”

The two took the package and rode away.

It turned out that these two were Qin Qing's doormen. In recent years, Qin Qing's business has become bigger and bigger, lest Lü Buwei notice the Qin Mansion, so he bought real estate in the other six countries and handed them over to his own customers.

In order to remind Lü Buwei of Zhao Zheng, Qin Qing first sent people to follow the people in the Lü Mansion, and then sent a doorman to deliberately spread rumors for the people in the Lü Mansion to hear. Lü Buwei has always been shrewd, Qin Qing was afraid that he would be suspicious, so he investigated the origin of the rumors and the people who spread them, and deliberately selected two disciples who were raised in the other six countries. Even if Lü Buwei is shrewd, most of his forces are in the Qin State, and he will definitely find out that she is the mastermind behind the scenes.

After the two guests walked away, Steward Yu asked Qin Qing: "Does the young lady plan to return to Fang County?" ”

"No!" Qin Qing turned around and got into the carriage: "Let's stay in Xianyang for a while." ”

"Still in Xianyang? Isn't that dangerous? Xiu'er followed behind Qin Qing, and when she heard her say that she still had to stay in Xianyang, she was a little worried. After Qin Qing and Xiu'er got into the carriage, Steward Yu drove the carriage towards Xianyang.

"The most dangerous place, but also the safest place." Qin Qing smiled slyly: "Xianyang is Lu Buwei's territory, just now there are rumors, he will definitely send someone to investigate, and he will know that we are in Xianyang in less than half a day." If the rumors just start and we leave, wouldn't it be very suspicious? ”

Xiu'er said dissatisfiedly: "You can't stay in Xianyang all the time!" ”

"Of course not! If Lü Buwei attaches importance to this matter, it is estimated that he will soon send someone to pick me up to see him, and when we see him, we can go back." Qin Qing speculated in his heart about Lu Buwei's reaction.

"Qing'er, then you have to be careful when you go to Lu Wei." When Xiu'er heard that Qin Qing was going to Lu Buwei's mansion, the worry on her face deepened.

"Don't worry, he won't do anything to me, let's have fun in Xianyang these two days."

==========================================================================================

After only two days of spreading rumors, in Xianyang City, two or three people could be seen mysteriously gathering together to talk about something, and when people approached, they were silent. Qin Qing and Xiu'er were wandering around Xianyang, and when they saw this situation, they sighed: Rumors are really the biggest weapon.

Lü Buwei's mansion was extremely quiet, and Qin Qing and Steward Yu guessed that Lü Buwei was calm, waiting for the rumor-mongers to reveal themselves. Until the seventh day when the rumors spread, Qin Qing and Xiu'er had just returned to the inn when they saw a rather luxurious carriage parked at the door. Qin Qing knew that Lü Buwei had sent someone here.

The servant standing next to the carriage saw Qin Qing and stepped forward to ask, "But the young lady of the Qin family in Tong County?" ”

Seeing that Qin Qing nodded in response, he continued: "My Lord Lu just heard that the young lady came to Xianyang, and specially set up a banquet and sent a villain to pick up the young lady. ”
