Chen Ke doesn't have many friends, and the entire Daqin looks like only two or three people up and down.

It's not that Chen Ke doesn't want to make friends, it's that he is really not suitable for making friends, he used to just want to stay lazy in the mansion every day and didn't want to come out at all, he wanted to be a salted fish.

Since some time ago, Chen Ke has become a "model worker".

Known as the second Li Si, the first Chen Ke.

Either busy or lazy, how can you have many friends?

Chen Ke's friends, that is, two New Year's friends, one Li Si and one Wang Qian, may also count one Fusu and one Yingzheng.

That's just four people.

Fusu is still young, and even Yingzheng is actually young compared to the other two.

Ying Zheng was born in the first month of the forty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang, and now he is the first emperor for five years, and he has spent forty-three spring and autumn periods.

Wang Jian was born in the fifth year of King Zhaoxiang, a full forty-three years older than the first emperor, and forty-three years is the age of the current first emperor.

He was eighty-six years old.

This is a terrible age, even Confucius and Mencius did not live to this age.

There are very few people of this age in the world, and even if there are, most of them are already in bed and unable to move.

And Wang Jian is still running on the battlefield.

Li Si was born in the twenty-third year of King Zhaoxiang, and now he is sixty-eight years old.

Both of them have reached a point where people are starting to worry about their bodies, and now Wang Xuan's departure is afraid that it will be a huge blow to both of them.

Especially Lis.

After Chen Ke packed up his clothes, he came to Li Si's house as soon as possible.

He came to visit Lees.

The friendship between Chen Ke and Li Si, or the friendship between Chen Ke and his friends, is mostly "gentlemen's friends".

What is a gentleman's friendship?

The friendship between gentlemen is like water.

Maybe others don't feel so good when they look at their relationship, but in fact, the two are already very good confidants.

At the beginning, the two calculated each other, and Chen Ke hooked up with Li Si with the help of engraving printing and papermaking, and at that time, Li Si could even brazenly call Chen Ke "brother".

It's just deadly.

An old man in his fifties called a young man in his twenties "brother", and at that time, Li Si's own sons Li Yang and Li You both felt a little helpless.

Later, as time passed, even if Li Si called Chen Ke "brother", Chen Ke no longer called Li Si "brother Li", but became "Li Gong".

A little time passed, the deeper Chen Ke's friendship with his two friends, the deeper the friendship, the more he couldn't do that kind of thing, he has always been a person of great affection.

Therefore, Brother Wang became "Wang Weng" and "General Wang"; Li Si became "Li Gong" and "Li Chengxiang".

As soon as he entered the Li Mansion, Chen Ke saw Li Si with a somewhat sad expression, and Li You and Li Yang beside him were supporting him and walking slowly outside.

After seeing Chen Ke, Li Si said with some emotion: "Chen boy, Brother Wang, he's gone." ”

There was sadness in his voice, and a little sadness appeared in the depths of his eyes, he patted the arms of Li Yang and Li You beside him, and then walked to Chen Ke's side: "Let's go, let's go see him together." ”

Li Si turned his head, looked at Li Yang and Li You, hesitated a little, and finally said, "You two go and prepare a chariot and drive for me and Chen Chengxiang." ”

Li Yang Li You nodded, and when the chariot was ready, Li Si and Chen Ke got into the carriage.

The carriage is very comfortable, which is researched by the people of the previous research institute and the manufacturing factory, some of which are like the kind of carriages in the middle and late feudal dynasties, which are very comfortable, and they will not be wobbly when walking, just like a small house.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Si looked around the carriage and said casually: "After this carriage was made, I thought it would be a good thing for us old things, but I didn't expect that the prince didn't enjoy it, so he left." ”

He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Actually, at the beginning, I was the left prime minister, the prince was the right prime minister, and later the right prime minister became Feng Quji's."

Li Si's eyes were full of nostalgia: "At the beginning, my methods were still very immature, but the matter of Lu Buwei made His Majesty sound the alarm and refuse to trust others too much. ”

"I led Daqin to start a slow change, just like you are changing the law now."

"At that time, the prince was checking and filling in the gaps for me, and the prince would quietly help me solve some of the things I missed and couldn't take care of."

"The prince is the same age as me, but his personality is more stable and down-to-earth than me, and he is decent to do."

A smile left the corner of his mouth.

"If there is no prince, I am afraid that there will be no Li Si today."

This is Li Si's emotion, he turned his head, no longer said anything about Wang Xuan, just looked at Chen Ke and said: "Now that the prince is gone, I feel more and more that my body is not very good." ”

He said with some self-deprecation: "When I was young, I always felt that my health was very good, so I stayed up all night to deal with government affairs. ”

"But now that I watched my peers leave one by one, extinguished like a candle in that cold winter day, my heart finally began to fear."

Li Si couldn't help but say: "To say something disrespectful, in previous years, I always felt that it was not worth it for His Majesty to seek immortality, but now that I feel life and death, I always feel that immortality is really something that everyone wants." ”

When Chen Ke heard this, he was a little silent, he looked at Li Si and said, "Li Gong, do you want to ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Si, and a smile appeared on his face: "I don't want to get the so-called method of immortality from your hands. ”

"I know that there is no such thing as immortality in this world."

"If there was, you would have taken it out to Your Majesty a long time ago, don't I know your character?"

Li Si shook his head, pointed to the outside of the carriage and said, "What I invite today is just for my two indisputable children. ”

Like an old man who felt that his time was short, he held Chen Ke's hand: "I only have these two sons, and they are not competitive." ”

"Li Yang is okay, with his exploits now by His Majesty's side, I can't see a way out for Li You, that kid."

Li Si said with some sadness: "If I leave, what will happen to the two of them? ”

"I just hope you can look at the relationship between the two of us, take care of them more, and don't let them starve to death on the streets."

Chen Ke looked at Li Si, and there was a little silence in his tone: "Don't worry." ”

He was a little emotional.

In fact, Li Si didn't really feel the day of death, but he saw the death of his old friend, so he was sad in his heart, and it was inevitable to think of himself.

This is a normal manifestation.

After Chen Ke calmed Li Si, the carriage continued to roll forward.

western regions

Han Xin's body was covered in armor, and the soldiers around him were slowly building this westernmost city of Great Qin.

A lot of lime was transported from Xianyang City, and by the way, a lot of skilled craftsmen were brought in, who were responsible for building the westernmost city of Great Qin, which would be a very magnificent city, even more magnificent than the capital of some small countries in the Western Regions.

Since he was stationed here, the Western Regions of Great Qin have been very peaceful, and they trade with Great Qin every year, and those small countries in the Western Regions are very honest.

They only felt that as long as they were honest, Daqin would not do anything to them.

This is of course a wrong impression, because even if they are honest, when a certain time comes, Daqin will still do something to them.

The construction of Anxi City was also put on the agenda under such a strategic environment, and the soldiers knew what might happen in the future, so when they built Anxi City at this time, they also invested a great enthusiasm.

Han Xin looked in the direction in the distance, with a slightly solemn look in his eyebrows.

"The Western Regions."

There was a slight sarcasm on his lips, as he had faintly heard rumors of the wind lately.

Some merchants who came from the direction further west said that they had seen the Xiongnu there, and of course, they generally did not call the Xiongnu when they spoke to the people of Daqin in the territory of Daqin, but said that they were the king of Zhanxi in Daqin.

This is a kind of flattery for Daqin, and Han Xin can certainly see it.

But Han Shin didn't care.

If the Huns he was able to fight escaped once, he would naturally be able to beat them away a second time.

Last time, Han Xin relied on repeaters and large repeaters, and this time Han Xin relied on two magic weapons.

One is naturally firearms.

Since the artillery was studied, it began to be manufactured in a steady stream in Xianyang City, and then sent to every place in Daqin.

With Xianyang City and Zhongmu County as the center, Daqin's transportation system is also gradually expanding, because of the appearance of lime, so the process of building roads in Daqin is also very comfortable, even smoother than before.

The second magic weapon is the cavalry newly trained by Han Xin.

There was a puff of smoke and dust in the distance, and a cavalry was advancing rapidly, heading towards Han Xin's place.

"Xuanjia Ride".

After Han Xin came to the Western Regions, he was not idle, but quickly built a horse farm here in the Western Regions, and then looked for good breeds.

In a "very reasonable" way, they bought high-quality stallions and mares from some countries in the Western Regions, and then bred them, and also through reasoning, several small countries handed over their trainers.

Great Qin had his own horse farm in the Western Regions.

And the first batch of good horses that came out of these carriages were provided to the first batch of cavalry refined by Han Xin.

Xuanjia rides

This is a heavy cavalry, invincible heavy cavalry, even more powerful than the wolf cavalry, once a small country in the Western Regions saw this cavalry, he even had weak legs on the spot, and then said that this is a cavalry that can tear all countries apart.

"Huns, let me see what kind of energy you have."

Han Xin whispered as he sketched a wanton smile on the corner of his mouth.

..........

Far western, near the Danube, along the ocean.

Sitting on the grass with a comfortable smile on his face, Maudun stood up, patted his body, and looked at his uncle behind him.

"Uncle, do you think we have a chance?"

The middle-aged man beside him naturally knew what Mao Dun meant, what chance?

Of course, it's a chance to fight back to Qilian Mountain!

That was their eternal life, how could they give it up so easily?

It's just now.....

He hesitated a little: "Shan Yu, although our strength is strong, we should not be the opponent of Great Qin today. ”

"What's more, at this time, we have not completely solved the local natives, those people are still struggling to resist, and several countries have united and are ready to declare war with us."

He looked at Maudon and said, "So I don't think this is the right time to do it, we should wait a little longer." ”

"Wait for a suitable opportunity to attack Daqin."

Mao Dun just smiled, his eyes were full of the blue sky: "Uncle, you mean to solve those countries, you can't let us attack Daqin, the belly and back are hostile, right?" ”

The man nodded, sighed helplessly and said, "Yes." ”

"If these countries unite to attack us behind our backs when we attack Great Qin, we will be attacked from behind."

"In this way, we may lose even the second piece of land that Immortal Heaven has given us."

Mao Dun nodded slightly, his eyes were as sharp and fierce as a wolf: "It's okay, then let's get rid of these barbarians in the Western Regions first!" ”

He laughed wantonly: "Just a barbarian, dare to be an enemy of the people of the Immortal Heaven? ”

"Let them feel the wrath from the Immortal Heaven!"

"The eagles of the steppe, make them pay!"

The middle-aged man stood beside Mao Dun and bowed slightly: "Follow your will." ”

............

South Vietnam.

As the winter passed, the enthusiasm of the people of South and East Vietnam for cutting down trees also reached a peak and did not continue to spread.

But—

The forests of South Vietnam and East Vietnam are indeed more or less handled.

At this time, Wang Jian was directing the construction of the new Tianhai City, and the steel bars transported from Xianyang City, the methods of forging steel, and the cement had all been used by Wang Qian.

In fact, it can't be said that Wang Jian commanded, this old general who disobeyed the old man just put on a name, and others cultivated in Huiji County.

No matter how good Wang Qian's health is, he is still an old man in his eighties, and winter is a huge test for an old man of this age.

Originally, he still wanted to hold on, but with Yang Tianyi here, how could he watch him hold on?

Looking at Yang Tianyi, who was eager to try and wanted to write a letter to Chen Ke, Wang Jian could only silently cultivate in Huiji County.

Who made him agree to Chen Ke before, but because he was a little stubborn, he had a little problem with his body, and in the end, it was Yang Tianyi who helped keep the secret?

..........

Penglai Chau

At this time, the development of Penglaizhou has reached a very strong point, and Huo Shi, the governor of Penglaizhou, and many high-ranking officials in Penglaizhou are all excited.

Because they received the message.

The first emperor wanted to tour the east, the first stop was Zhongmu County, and the second stop was Penglaizhou.

What an honor.
