"The throne is my Jiao'er's—"

Madame Han let out a final whimper, as if all the souls of the whole person had been discarded and dried up into hollow rice husks, and she was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hoarseness fell to the ground.

can force a woman who is in the camp step by step to say such a rebellious thing.

The old palace maid who was under her eyes jumped her eyebrows, Seeing that the girl left without sticking to the umbrella leaves, she felt a little admiration in her heart.

Approaching the Liyang Palace, the Empress Dowager Huayang was still praying with her eyes closed, and the old palace maid told her everything about Fang Cai, "That little baby is amazing, what Mrs. Han said is enough to kill the whole family." ”

"The old woman is not deaf, the wind in this palace can be heard wherever it blows, the little girl... can force people like this, how can he not defend the king of Qin, you order some people to directly imprison Mrs. Han, and it is good to save your life. ”

Old palace maid: "Yes." ”

Mrs. Huayang picked up the bamboo tube and shook it, drew a lot, saw the inscription on it, her eyes turned, and she said that the bamboo piece was inserted into the bamboo charcoal, "worthy of the King of Qin, and can suppress her rich life." ”

Bai Tao stepped down the jade steps.

The wind and snow were thrown in the back of their heads.

In the wind and snow blowing in front of him, a figure dressed in a big coat is depicted, and he is holding a tung oil umbrella, waiting for her.

In the deep palace of devouring bones and burying your life, if there is someone who can always wait for you in the same place, it is nothing more than the clear sun outside the sky, shining on the snow and melting on the tip of your heart.

A little, a little.

Melt slowly.

He had long eyebrows, a straight nose and thin lips, and he had a sharp spirit, "What did Mrs. Huayang tell you?" ”

Bai Tao held an umbrella and walked side by side with him, "I said something god-like." ”

"Well, is it cold?" Ying Zheng didn't ask much, so he was going to hold her hand.

Bai Tao stubbornly hid one hand, and took a step behind: "No, no, I'm not small, it's not a few years ago when my legs were short, and I couldn't walk steadily on snowy days at that time." ”

Ying Zheng's expression is constant, but he can't be ignored in action.

Scoop her up directly.

Bai Tao was still stepping on his big footprints, and suddenly bumped into his arms, frowning and saying, "It hurts, it hurts, you have hit me." ”

The girl is squeamish like a porcelain man, and she can't be touched.

Ying Zheng's heart became as soft as cloth: "What's wrong?" Where it hurts. ”

Bai Taozuo touched and touched, took out a seal from the inner liner of the buckskin cloak, and muttered: "It's all to blame for this, you hugged me, you just hit me." ”

Seal.

He took it.

It is engraved with the totem of the Qin Kingdom, a majestic falcon, but after unscrewing, there is a sacred bird engraved inside.

"Hongqian, behind the scales, snake neck, fish tail, stork voice, mandarin duck, dragon text, fish back, swallow jaw, chicken beak."

Ying Zheng's eyes were dark, and he looked at it carefully, "The Chu people's "Rest the Crown" once said, 'The phoenix, the bird of quail fire, and the essence of the sun'. ”

Bai Tao took a breath: "Chu Guo mostly worships the phoenix as a sacred bird, this is the phoenix seal." ”

What else does Mrs. Huayang mean by taking the initiative to hand over the phoenix seal?

Nothing more than –

It is nothing more than taking the initiative to withdraw from this conspiracy vortex of persuasion, but it is really a bit surprising in this way.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Taotao, what did you say to the Empress Dowager Huayang?" ”

"It's just some gods' chatter."

Bai Tao is a little weak-hearted, after all, she can't say that she is disrespectful to his grandmother, and she still says a word to his grandmother.

She stumbled and said, "I asked a little good, I said yes, and she said yes." ”

Ying Zheng's cold eyes can perceive any waves in the court, not to mention the people around him who get along day and night.

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, she didn't ask anything, but only took her hand: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, and you have to thank Taotao for this matter." ”

Mrs. Huayang is willing to delegate power, and the Qin State can also reduce a lot of turmoil.

Bai Tao scratched his palm, "Well, no thanks, I also hit him by mistake." ”

Ying Zheng smiled brightly: "Hmm." ”

"I just went to the Liyang Palace of the Empress Dowager Huayang, and I saw a red flower on the road, what kind of flower is that?"

"That's plum blossoms."

"I really look like it."

"Like what?"

"Like"

My paw prints.

*

The plum blossoms in the corner of the wall bloom alone in the cold, one tree on top of the other, one by one, one petal and one wind, in the ice and snow is a beautiful scenery that brightens people's eyes.

But for others, this midwinter has been extraordinarily long and unbearable.

Not only for the nobles who are rich in food and clothing in Xianyang City, but also for the footmen of the Qin State.

The six-month midwinter lasted for half a year, not to mention that the ordinary people's grain was not at home, but in the caves and grottoes.

Such a blizzard, the geometry of the closed mountains, the rugged geometry, and the geometry of freezing to starvation.

This kind of chaos, Lao Qin people are panicked, and call it "heavenly send".

Lü Buwei played: Open the granary, disaster relief.

Ying Zheng: Refuted.

At first glance, Lü Buwei seems to be kind-hearted and concerned about the safety of the people, but the Qin State is based on law and has its own mature system, which is not something that a foreign minister like him can do.

Qin Law has clouds: disaster treatment is not disaster relief.

If the Qin State is self-reliant with military merits, and the old Qin people are proud of their military merits, if they act according to the orders of the Xiangguo and provide disaster relief without compensation, it will not make those meritorious people have no place to stand, and the old Qin people's heart to strive for progress will not become weak, and the iron pestle-like Qin Law will not be messed up.

Di: Barge.

But it's not just a refutation, after all, the people are the foundation of the continuation of the country, and Yingzheng only has full authority to let Li Si issue a relative decree, lead the counties and counties to unite as one, build crushed houses, dredge mountain roads, and go to difficulties together.

But such a strange celestial phenomenon is freezing to death and starving to death.

There are records of officials.

In the twenty-first year of the reign of King Qin, heavy rain and snow, two feet five inches deep, the year of great murder.

The old Qin people, who were almost suffocated by the middle of winter, finally ushered in the beginning of spring, and what awaited them was to turn the soil, sow seeds, and welcome the new year.

As the saying goes, Ruixue is a good year, and they are all looking forward to reducing the war, and the wives and children at home will be able to eat a full meal at the end of this year.

The heart is steady, and the streets of Xianyang City are also flowing.

The crowd finally brought some vigor to Xianyang City.

However, a bunch of old Qin people who bought new seeds with bamboo baskets are now holding bamboo baskets without moving.

Just because they noticed a strange-looking man in the crowd.

This man is barefoot, and he is not afraid of freezing when he steps on thin ice.

He wore a very strange robe, which was said to be white, not white, a little dull, and somewhat transparent, and shone with scales shining from the sun.

Resemble.

Like I can't say anything.

In short, the man in this loose and strange robe had dark red hair, like dried blood, his face was smooth without a trace of hair, and his lips were scarlet as if he had just been sucked up blood.

It is extremely tall, and it is a height that will never be ignored at a glance.

It stands to reason that this height is a good seedling for a soldier to fight, but when the old Qin people looked at his thin body again, they all sighed.

It's a pity.

The old Qin in the coarse linen cotton clothes was spitting hot air in his mouth, chattering in the Qin language.

The man didn't care, he didn't hear it at all.

He rolled his eyes to look at a certain point, which was the sparkling Xiangguo Mansion.

In front of the house stood two doormen dressed in the same clothes, like two brothers, they were also talking about something, and they looked rather sad on their faces.

The man's eyes were round and bulging, bulging outward, and his eyes were red.

Leaving two streets away, began to slow down their movements and read their lips.

The two doormen of Xiangguo's Mansion are Zuo Pi and Right.

Since the last time Lu Buwei taught them the task of finding talents, they pinched their fingers and calculated, it has been a long time, and the snow is about to melt, and they haven't found a suitable one yet.

"Ouch, when will I find it, I really have a needle's eye."

The man hissed and stuck out his tongue, he was imitating the right beard to speak, and the tone was a little strange and jerky.

"Remember last time there were three? I look at it well, but you said that you were going to go to the palace to pull a eunuch to check and see if it worked, but as soon as I pulled it over, the people were directly scared and trembled, and I ran over the wall while I wasn't paying attention. ”

This is an imitation of Zuo Pi, and the tone has begun to smooth out.

"What does it have to do with me, won't you just talk to someone in advance?"

The right Pi is holding a double needle eye, and he is about to turn to the sky, and the left Pi is also with a pain in his eyes, "Know, how to know?" ”

"Enter the palace to be a duck!" The right Pi stalks his neck and has already given up on himself.

"What kind of duck what kind of duck, do you have such a shout?"

Zuo Pi looked left and right, and noticed an extremely eye-catching red-haired man on the opposite street, but he didn't pay much attention.

He covered his brother's mouth, "Can you be quiet, this is on the street, not in the eunuch's room!" ”

"Hmm."

You Pi broke free of his hand, "What's the quiet, our brothers look at duck goods on the street every day, is it glorious?" I also made a little noise, and asked me to see a notice directly posted and pay a lot of money without worrying that no one would come. ”

Zuo Pi's eyes hurt to the skull: "Let's make a face." ”

"Enter the palace to be a duck?"

Just as the two brothers were arguing, a cold voice sounded next to them.

Zuo Pi was stunned for a moment, and saw that the red-haired man who was still two streets away just now didn't know when he came over.

He looks really strange, especially with his eye-catching red hair.

Right Pi was also attracted by his hair color, but strange people and strange people are not uncommon in Xianyang City.

You Pi put his sleeve on his sleeve and said, "Yes, you are interested in this?" ”

Zuo Pi looked at it, shook his head at his younger brother, and said, "This brother, you go, you are not suitable." ”

The red-haired man said, "You know I'm not suitable? ”

You Pi smiled shamefully, raised his arm and patted it, "This is a strength job, do you see, just a literati with a pen is stronger than you, you look at your thin arms and legs, the same two poles, you better go home and eat more." ”

The red-haired man looked at Zuo Pi from top to bottom again, repeating, "You know I'm not suitable? ”

Zuo Pi said: "You and I are both men, it's better to open up and say, women pay attention to the depth of the pool, and the man talks about the big and small, which we are looking for is not only big, but also different." Look at you, you don't even have the strength. ”

The red-haired man frowned in disgust: "Mortals are short-sighted. ”

He took out a solid, round stone from the mouth of the stone beast next to him, which was the comfort that mortals used to ward off evil spirits and drive away demons.

He hooked his lips mockingly, squeezed his white palm, and the stone instantly turned into powder and rose with the wind.

“？”

Left and right must suspect that they are dazzled.

Immediately afterwards, he lifted the stone beast weighing a thousand gold with one hand, like pinching a feather: "Strength? ”

Left and right beards were stunned again, and involuntarily looked down at him, as if they were looking at something.

The upper lip of the right beard touched the lower lip and stumbled: "You come with me first." ”

The red-haired man put down the stone beast, made a loud "boom", and followed him in.

When passing by Zuo Pi's side, Zuo Pi smelled a strange smell, like a fishy smell in the soil, which faded after a while.

Zuo Pi sniffed, thinking that this strange man had been brought from a trek deep in the mountains and old forests.

After the red-haired man walked in, he passed a pillar of incense.

Two pillars of incense.

Three sticks of incense.

Zuo Pi was really impatient to wait outside, and gave up selecting passers-by at the gate of Xiangguo's Mansion, he patted the robe on his body and walked in, but unexpectedly bumped into his younger brother.

"Ouch." Right beard rubbed his nose, and the needle in his eye seemed to be heavier than before.

Zuo Pi glanced at the red-haired man standing behind him and asked, "What's wrong?" Is it different? ”

The right beard seemed to nod inexplicably, and stretched out two fingers: "So, what do you say?" ”

"Whatever?"

Seeing that the deadline for Xiangguo's dignitaries was approaching, Zuo Pi was so anxious that he patted his brother's head, and then stretched out two fingers and turned: "Is this the length or the width?" ”

Right Su's lips opened twice, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "It's the quantity." ”

"What?!"

This time it was the turn of the calm brother to jump to his feet, and Zuo Pi's eyes were about to stare out of his eyes.

He turned his head sharply to look at the red-haired man, and then pulled his brother's sleeve to the side, "Did you have a needle eye and show flowers?" ”

Right Su closed his dry and aching eyes, and opened them again, "It's not wrong, I looked at two pillars of incense, can't I count them?" ”

Zuo Pi didn't believe him, how could there be such a fantastical thing, he reached out and asked the red-haired man to go in again.

For a long time.

Zuo Pi came out rubbing the eye of the needle, and his lips were still trembling: "That's it." ”
