More than ten years later, the Han Dynasty's rivers and mountains gradually stabilized, bandits and rebels in various places, and slowly suppressed by bullets, "rather be a peaceful dog, not a troubled world", people after a long period of turmoil and war, finally lived a peaceful life.

But at this time, somewhere, a strange thing happened that shocked the government and the opposition.

Here's the thing: In that place, there lived an old eunuch who had served Qin Shi Huang for many years, and this old eunuch had been by Qin Shi Huang's side since he was a teenager, and he was about the same age as Qin Wang Yingzheng, and he had been serving by Yingzheng's side since he was very young. Later, when the Qin Dynasty was overthrown and the Han Dynasty was established, he came out of the palace and returned to his hometown to work as a farmer. At that time, the old eunuch was already in his fifties, but he was still in good health, in very good health, and he could often go to the mountains to collect medicine.

Although the war has stopped for more than ten years, it is still far from recovering in terms of population and financial resources because it has been damaged by the war in all aspects. In most places, it is still sparsely populated, the land is barren, and all kinds of materials are scarce, and it is recorded in the history books that even the emperor at that time wanted to pick a few horses of the same color to drive, but he could not find it.

This old eunuch is naturally optimistic and open-minded, although he is so old, but every day he hums a little song, go to the mountains to collect medicine, because when he was in the palace, he had been with several imperial doctors around the first emperor for a long time, and he was a little familiar with medicine, so in this ten miles and eight towns, there are often people looking for him to see a doctor and grab medicine.

One spring, dysentery was epidemic in that area, and a large number of herbs were urgently needed, and in the area where medicine was often collected, this herb was no longer enough, so the old eunuch could only go to the depths of the mountains to find it. He was a little panicked at this time, because he knew that if he got lost in this uninhabited mountain, he would usually be trapped to death soon due to lack of food and water.

The old eunuch groped and trekked in the mountains for more than two days, but in the end he still did not find a way out of the mountain, after all, he was old, and the food he brought had been used up, and he soon fainted next to a mountain stream because of his lack of body.

I don't know how long later, when he woke up in a daze, he felt as if he was lying on a bed, and there was still a sweet, silky taste of rice porridge in his mouth.

The old eunuch opened his eyes and looked around, he felt that it was a simple thatched house, he could smell the faint smell of grass and wood, the light in the room was a little dim, but he could feel a person sitting next to him.

When the man saw him wake up, he hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Old man, are you better?"

When he heard this voice, the old eunuch couldn't help but tremble, he felt that this voice, there was an indescribable sense of familiarity, he couldn't help but struggle to get up and want to sit up, the man hurriedly came over to help him, and took a pillow to cushion his back, and when the old eunuch sat on the head of the bed, squinted, through the dim light, and carefully looked at the person next to him, he was suddenly so startled that he even crawled under the bed, and then fell to the ground, trembling with excitement, he couldn't say a word, just kowtowed desperately, His series of strange actions overwhelmed the man sitting next to him, and the man hurriedly came over to help him.

And the old eunuch didn't know why, lying on the ground and kowtowing while crying, his voice choked, and his mouth was vague as if to say: "Your Majesty...... 陛xià...... Really, is it? ”

The man was even more confused, and he didn't know what to do for a while. He felt that this beardless old man, who was a bit like an old lady, did behave strangely, as if he was not mentally normal.

After the old eunuch fell to the ground and cried for a while, he seemed to calm down a little, he wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeve, and then looked at the man carefully, and muttered in his mouth: "Are you really Your Majesty?" ”。 Without waiting for the man to answer, he suddenly pulled the man's right hand over, looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand, and then exclaimed loudly: "That's right, you are really Your Majesty, are we kings and ministers meeting again in the underworld?" Is this providential? After saying that, his legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground again and began to cry.

This time, the man seemed to be calmer, and while setting up the old eunuch, he said: "I am not a majesty, I am an iron egg, and we are not in the underworld, this is in the valley, I have lived in this place since I was a child, and I have lived in this place for more than ten years." ”

When the man had finished speaking, he opened the window of the hut, and then opened the door as well, so that the light in the house was much brighter at once. The old eunuch looked out, and the sun was shining outside, the trees were green and the grass was green, and he could see the steep cliffs. He turned his head again and stared at the man in front of him, the expression on his face becoming more and more confused.

Because the old eunuch felt that the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of him was too much like King Qin Yingzheng. Not only does he look very similar, but he even looks like every move, that temperament, that expression, is simply the living Yingzheng back then, although the accent is different from Qin Wang Yingzheng, but the sound quality is also very similar.

What's even more amazing is that in the palm of this young man's hand, there is a black mole that is the same as that of King Yingzheng of Qin. This is simply incredible, as a person who is about the same age as Ying Zheng and has served by the side of King Yingzheng of Qin for almost his whole life, the old eunuch is no longer familiar with all aspects of Ying Zheng, he knows that even among Ying Zheng's eighteen sons, there is no one who looks so similar to King Ying Zheng of Qin, this young man must be the reincarnation of Ying Zheng.

The old eunuch calmed down his feelings, bowed down respectfully and asked the young man, "Dare to ask why Lingzun Lingtang is not here?" How long have you lived here? ”

When the old man saw that the old man was so polite to him, he was a little embarrassed, blushed, scratched his head with his hand and said: "My parents have gone out of the mountain, but they should be back soon, they go to the mountain to sell some salt and cloth, I have lived in this valley since I was a child, and I should have lived in this valley for more than ten years." Occasionally, he went out with his parents, but most of the time, he stayed in the valley, and sometimes went hunting outside the valley. Today is when I went to the brook and waited for the prey, and found that you had fainted there, and if you had fainted elsewhere, I might not have found you, because many wild deer, hares, etc., often have to go to that stream to drink, so I often go to that stream."

After the young man's explanation, the old eunuch knew that he was really fateful, and he fainted by the stream. However, he really wanted to see this young man's parents at this moment, and for some reason, this young man who was very much like King Yingzheng of Qin suddenly made his already calm heart suddenly become terrified again, and he was even so excited that he trembled all over. He felt that fate was so wonderful, so wonderful that he couldn't even think of it.

Although the old eunuch's body is still very weak, just a toss, has made him exhausted again, with the support of the young man, he returned to the bed tiredly, and lay down, when the young man covered him with a quilt, the old eunuch suddenly burst into tears with excitement, he had an illusion that this was Qin Wang Yingzheng supporting him and covering the quilt for him. In the past years, he has served King Qin Yingzheng countless times, but he didn't expect that there would be a person so like King Qin today, who also served him like this, this may be what people often say.

When the old eunuch woke up again, he saw three people sitting beside the bed, and before he could speak, he heard a man cry out: "My lord, do you remember me?" I'm the guard Zhao Meng."

This sentence was like a stimulant, which made the old eunuch sit up suddenly, and his violent reaction made the three people next to him startled.

"Zhao Meng, is it really you?" The old eunuch asked in a trembling voice in astonishment, because he was too excited, which made his already sharp voice even more high-pitched and sharp. The old eunuch looked at the middle-aged man in front of him seriously, although there were already many wrinkles on this person's face, but from the eyebrows and the general facial features, he could clearly recognize it, yes, this person was the guard Zhao Meng.

"It's me, my lord, I didn't expect such a coincidence, we met here, I thought I would never see you again, I always thought you had died in the chaos."

The guard Zhao Meng also looked extremely excited.

This guard Zhao Meng and the old eunuch are considered to be fellow villagers, and they are both on errands beside King Yingzheng of Qin, so they are very familiar with each other, whenever they have the opportunity to see each other, there are always endless hometown dialects, the old eunuch was in his teens, because of the force of life, he left his hometown and entered the palace of the King of Qin to serve the King of Qin. But the mountains and rivers in his hometown, the people and the things, are deeply left in his heart, the best memory, every time in the dead of night, he doesn't know how many times, are in the tears of missing his hometown to sleep.

"Kiss the hometown people or not", in a foreign country thousands of miles away, meet your hometown people, that feeling is of course extremely cordial and sweet. Therefore, Zhao Meng and the old eunuch, the kind of friendship established under the friendship of fellow villagers, ordinary people can't appreciate it, and the friendship between them has reached the point where they have nothing to say.

What I didn't expect was that in the chaotic times, the two of them met unexpectedly in the valley deep in the mountains, how could they not be full of emotion?

The two of them hugged their heads and cried for a long time before they slowly stopped their grief. Only then did the old eunuch notice that in addition to the young man, there was also a woman next to her, although her face had some traces of time and her clothes were very plain, but she was still graceful and beautiful. The woman sat quietly next to her, her head slightly bowed, her face was very calm, there was not too much sadness, nor too much joy, just quietly watching the old eunuch and Zhao Meng crying bitterly.

The old eunuch tried his best to calm down his feelings, and then smiled hard and said: "It would have been a great thing to reunite with my brother after the catastrophe, let's not cry, alas, Your Majesty is on patrol, brother, you are close to you, but I was in the palace at that time, and I didn't go with Your Majesty, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to return to heaven on the way, and since then there have been all kinds of battles, and all aspects have been chaotic, and I don't know who to ask about your whereabouts, and since then, there has been no brother's whereabouts." Tell me how you got here, this must be your brother and sister, right? ”
