Historically, crowning has been a top priority.

It was the honor guard of the King of Qin who set off from the Xianyang Palace, and the cheers of the old Qin people in Weishui on both sides of the strait were endless, as if they were riding the white doves in the sky, and then rushed to the eaves of the Xianyang Palace like a parabola.

Under the eaves bell stood a beautiful girl, her pupils were golden brown, and the falcon under the eaves flew to the girl's sleeve at a strange speed.

The girl's red robe was closed, and the corners of the colorful and broken gold robe fell to the ground, dragging the gold chain into the walk without a trace: "Okay, my release is over, you don't have to stare at me like this." ”

The palace maids saluted respectfully and pulled the solemn door to separate the dream-like world inside.

After Bai Tao entered, he dragged his foot chain and stepped on the jade slab barefoot.

"Bang, Bang, Bang."

Her ankles are slender, the curvature of her instep is to the tip of her toes, pure as the crescent moon in the sky, stepping on the jade slab, there is a thrilling heartbeat.

This jade slab is not the same as that of the other palace, all of them are paved with rare warm jade, the reason is that she loved to run around barefoot when she was a child, and later the King of Qin ordered someone to repair this palace.

The warm jade that is warm in winter and cool in summer, the precious flowers and plants in the yard, the swing frame made of vines, the bed curtain of shark silk, and the huluo made of tortoiseshell

Every bit of it is tailor-made for her.

Bai Tao took out the falcon in his robe, took off the letterbox, read it word by word, and then went to the long case to hang his wrist and carry a pen, tied it to the feet of the falcon and released it again.

Rui'er stood beside her all the time, silent.

Bai Tao said: "King Qin is going to Yongcheng for the crown? Today? ”

"Yes, the crown of the monarch is going to worship the Taimiao, and there are some relatives of the Qin State with him, as well as the minister of state, Lu Buwei, who brought two thousand personal soldiers."

"Only two thousand? Is it enough. ”

An ominous sign appeared in Bai Tao's heart.

"These are all the elites of the Qin State, and the Qin State advocates the eagle, so this elite is named the Black Eagle Dead Soldier, and it cannot be mobilized unless the monarch himself, and it is a good hand with one enemy and ten."

Bai Tao lowered her eyelashes: "Yongcheng, the mountains are high and the waters are long, and there are many poisonous snakes and scorpion ants, I don't worry." Rui'er, I have to go out of the palace. ”

Rui'er's heart was beating loudly, and her expression changed in an instant.

The horror in the water prison made her tremble uncontrollably, Bai Tao looked at her sideways, and the treasure tassel earrings worn under her ears shook the arc.

Rui'er clenched her fingers and gave herself great courage, "How long will the little master go out?" ”

"It can be as little as ten days, and as much as more than half a month."

Rui'er's pupils shrank.

She lowered her head again, staring at the jade plate below for a moment, "Okay, the little master does things, the slave doesn't ask, the little master just goes." ”

"But if I go, you will be dragged down and tortured again, aren't you afraid?"

Bai Tao blinked.

Rui'er had tears in her eyes: "The slave is not afraid, the slave is the slave of the little master when she is born, and she is also the slave of the little master when she dies, and it is worth it to be able to do things for the little master in this life." It is to ask the little master, can he treat the slave's younger brother well, the officialdom is fiercer than the tiger, the cunning is the wolf, he has no foundation behind him, and he is young and vigorous, and the only thing the slave and maid can't let go of is him. ”

“.”

Is it really worth it to be willing to give your life for the sake of others?

Bai Tao was silent, stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek: "Silly Rui'er, you don't need me to treat your brother well." ”

She took out the jade pendant of King Qin from her body, put it in the brocade box and handed it to her, "Take it, with this jade pendant, no one will dare to put you in prison." ”

Rui'er's face was full of shock, like a hot potato, and she cried: "Little master, woo woo, you treat slaves and maids so well." ”

If you change to someone else, the life of the slave is not the life, and she should be born to go to the soup for the master.

In the deep palace, slaves are like duckweed, who cares where their fate will drift to.

She had also prepared for the worst in her heart, but she didn't expect that she could still get the treasures of her master in the dim darkness.

Rui'er's tears kept falling, and she became more and more determined to be a cow and a horse, "Master, the slave will definitely be able to serve you well in the future!" ”

Bai Tao poked her face, took out a handkerchief and put it in her hand: "Okay, it's not raining this day, but it's raining for you." ”

Rui'er hiccuped: "Hiccup." ”

Her demon pupils pressed into a vertical stripe and looked at the sky outside the window: "Don't cry, I'm leaving." ”

Rui'er was still crying with tears in her eyes, and when she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her vision became clearer and she was gone, "Little master? ”

There was only a long gold chain left on the ground, and the clanging sound of the collision completely disappeared into the palace.

Bai Tao walked out of Xianyang Palace and walked directly into Xianyang Prison.

At the same time, Li Si, a red man in front of the King of Qin in Xianyang Imperial Prison, came to the Imperial Prison for interrogation, and at the request of Li Tingwei, all the jailers were cleared and cleared.

There is no second person who found out that a woman had broken into Xianyang Imperial Prison.

Li Si was dressed in a black and red official robe, looking majestic, with flying eyebrows.

Seeing Bai Tao's arrival, he hurriedly came over to greet him, "The people in Xianyang City say that the little master is in love with the city, and now when I look at it, it is better to meet than to be famous." Weichen Li Si has seen the little master. ”

Pleasantries.

To suck up.

Bai Tao looked at it like this, and felt that compared to other officials of the Qin State, his mediation heart was really too heavy.

She also put on a serious stand and said, "Well, you don't have to be so polite, what about Zheng Guo, where is it?" ”

"Zheng Guo is a serious offender, locked up at the bottom of Xianyang Imperial Prison, little master, please come with me."

Li Si led the way for her, "Last time, the little master wrote to Si, saying that he asked General Si to investigate Zheng Guo's matter, and now he is fortunate to have done it, whether Zheng Guo is a traitor, please rest assured, Si has full authority to deal with it." ”

Bai Tao lifted her eyelids and glanced at him in the dim and cold cell.

Li Si said to himself: "Although he is a prisoner, there is Si staring, Zheng Guo has not deducted his daily eating and drinking. ”

"Well done."

After Bai Tao finished speaking, he walked down the stairs, and after walking for about a moment, there was no light of the day.

This airtight Xianyang Imperial Prison can be said to be inaccessible to water, and needles can't be pricked.

However, Bai Tao found that there were very few prisoners held here.

It stands to reason that the severity of the Qin law is outrageous, and the six countries of Shandong spit on each other, scolding the tiger and wolf Qin, and even the Qin people are trembling and wary of making mistakes if they don't pay attention.

Xianyang Imperial Prison should be full, but just like this, it is really not ten people and nine crimes as rumored.

The two finally walked to the bottom of Xianyang Imperial Prison, and in front of them was a spacious cell.

The interior is furnished like a small bedroom.

Clean and tidy humps, fluffy bedding and animal fur, polished and shiny tables, with tea on them.

Zheng Guo was dressed in an ochre-colored jailer's thin coat, sat with his hair disheveled on his back, and did not wear an anklet.

made such a fuss, and let himself close the stall, Bai Tao dismantled the bones of Zheng Guo's stupid beaver back and forth in his heart, and then cramped and peeled the skin, Bai Tao shouted angrily: "Zheng Guo." ”

The little fox's voice was like a sound in the claustrophobic cell, Zheng Guo turned around suddenly, and his handsome face showed incredulity, "Grandma, is it you?" ”

Li Si retreated very interestingly.

White Peach: "Am I not still who?" Now that your sins have deepened, do you think there will be anyone who will not shy away from coming to see you? ”

Zheng Guo came over, and through the iron railing, he squeezed out a crying face, "Grandma, you can count it, I am here to be scared, I can't eat every day, for fear that one day in the West and East markets will have a trace of grievances in my brain, huh." ”

White Peach: "."

Bai Tao: "Don't talk about these things that you don't have, Qin Guo is saying that you are fine, what's going on?" ”

Zheng Guo stumbled: "This is a letter exchanged with South Korea, and dozens of letters were found in the small mansion." ”

"Dozens of letters? So much, aren't you already my little brother? Then why are dozens of letters to and from South Korea still found in your mansion? If you tell you the truth, there is no villain who wronged you. ”

Zheng Guo's eyes dodged, and he said: "The villain is not wronged, and it is not wronged, the matter of this correspondence is indeed true."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Tao fried his hair and said, "You are really a bad goblin with bad intentions!" said that you don't have dealings with South Korea, so you don't have to make you tired, it turns out that you are still building the plank road and secretly Chen Cang. ”

Zheng Guo was speechless: "It's not... Auntie and grandmother. ”

"Thanks to me doing everything possible to let Li Si hold you in my hands, I don't want you to be my little brother anymore, let's return to the bridge and return to the road, goodbye!"

"No, no, grandma, you listen to the little explanation."

Zheng Guo's face was attached to the railing, and he hurriedly said, "Grandma, the letters exchanged by the little demon are not a conspiracy to fatigue Qin, it is that in the past year or so, someone in South Korea has been sending letters urging Xiao, saying that he should act as soon as possible, and don't let the tiger and wolf get a chance to recuperate, but Xiao asked himself, he really didn't want to do this kind of lack of morality, and because that person was kind to Xiao, he was not embarrassed to refuse, so he dragged it as if he couldn't see it." ”

Bai Tao's good-looking eyebrows furrowed: "It started a year ago, why didn't you tell me?" ”

He blushed and said: "I'm a thousand years old, you're only a hundred years old, I can't even make up my mind about this matter, what face will I have in front of you in the future, and I think that there are all over the mountain, pretending not to hear or see, and the old Han King may not be able to do anything with me." ”

"You cover your ears and steal the bell, and you cover your eyes."

Bai Tao held his breath and decided to save some face for him, "I won't talk about you, just tell me that you yourself are now in prison, and no one dares to do anything to you?" ”

Zheng Chinese Stopper.

"I don't believe that you have dozens of letters hidden in the mansion, and they have been searched out, and no one has interfered with them, or are you so stupid that dozens of letters have been kept? Even put it in the study and burn an incense candle to worship? ”

"I listened to you and burned the letters."

Zheng Guo was also confused, "I don't know, there are dozens of letters that pop up somewhere, as if someone specially copied them." ”

"Copy?"

Bai Tao grasped the point, "That's right, when you judge yourself, you will say that someone is fake." ”

Zheng Guo drooped his eyelids: "No, the handwriting of this copy is spread in the Guangfan of the Qin Kingdom, and the discerning person can know who wrote it at a glance, and the handwriting and even the habits are exactly the same, and I am not sure if it is a copy." ”

White Peach: "? ”

Zheng Guo pursed his lips and said: "The widely circulated book is "Han Feizi", and the one who corresponded with me and urged me to hurry up and get tired of Qin is also Gongzi Han. ”

Bai Tao squinted dangerously: "Han Feizi, the ninth son of South Korea." ”

Zheng Guo understood her tone and said, "Impossible, it is impossible for Gongzi to harm people's hearts, he will never harm me." ”

"How do you know he won't hurt you? Mortals are fake skins and fake faces, as far as Li Si outside is concerned, you have been with him for several years, haven't you grown a little? ”

Zheng Guo shook his head and said with a bit of stubbornness, "Han Feizi, a genius of Tianzhong, is the son of the old King Han, the ninth prince of South Korea, if it is said that the current ruling in South Korea is a pile of rotten wood, with a bed bug on the crown, then he is a new species of South Korea, and he is as unpopular as me in the court. ”

"Auntie, do you say that our fate is wonderful, and most of him writes books and speaks in the room, rarely controls power, and occasionally invites me to drink tea and touch the qin, all of them are talking about ancient books and sages, chanting Korean words, and singing Korean songs, and he also said that he wanted him to write me into the book."

Zheng Guoxing's eyes.

Bai Tao looked at the stupid beaver who was sold and helped people to count gold, and continued to listen to him patiently.

"Cunning is better than clumsiness, and sincerity can win people's hearts."

He laughed out a neat row of teeth, "He is good to me, this is also a paragraph he wrote for me, he is not welcomed in South Korea, depressed, despite this, he also blocked the open guns and arrows for me, it can be seen that what a glorious gentleman, besides, I still have a friendship with me for several years, I believe he will not harm me." ”

White Peach: "."

Bai Tao rushed up in one breath, swallowed it, and said: "The Tao is not the same, not to mention that if you are loyal to Daqin, you will definitely turn against him, you should be more wary of him in the future." ”

"Uh-huh."

Zheng Guo nodded, stretched out his hand, and pulled her robe pitifully over the iron bar, "Grandma, I can listen to you, I am still your loyal little brother, you must not abandon me, you must save me." ”

Bai Tao lightly pulled his robe out of his hand, met his inky eyes, and said: "What do you discard or not, what are you talking nonsense, you still look for your Han Feizi who blocks the guns and arrows for you, in your mind, what does my aunt and grandmother do for you?" ”

After saying that, he left, ignoring the beaver who was crying and mourning behind him.

Zheng Guo cried without tears: "Grandma, you are the eternal aunt in my heart, you must save the little one!" Grandma! ”

Bai Tao put his plea behind him, walked over to see Li Si waiting on the steps, and asked, "Han Fei is also studying under Jixia Academy, do you know?" ”

Li Si didn't dare to hide it: "Yes." ”

"You are Xunzi's protégé, what about this Han Fei?"

Li Si barely moved his lips and said, "He is the master's senior disciple, and he is the most prestigious disciple under the line. ”

How shrewd the fox was Bai Tao, he took all his expressions in his eyes and continued to probe: "Oh? How do you compare it? ”

He arched his hand and bowed his body, "On talent, opinions, and reasoning, and the rules and regulations are far inferior to him." ”

"Is there anything you can do better than him?"

“.”

"Our Qin State's talent seeking order was sent to the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, have you seen it as a classmate?"

"Senior brother, he is a Korean son, and he is only loyal to South Korea."

"Maybe not one day."

Bai Tao said lightly and seriously, "South Korea is weak, the king is dazed and ignorant of what is going on, the government is deaf and ignores political affairs, Daqin is the division of tigers and wolves, this letter to Guguan, the first to open is the wall of South Korea, maybe one day, as soon as the day dawns, as soon as you wake up from your dream, you can come to Xianyang and work with you after the country is broken." ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Tao saw his back like a cane, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, seeing through it or not.

The oil lamp flickered, and Li Si walked silently in the shadows.

As if he felt that something was wrong, he began to laugh a little, "Si Neng and his junior brother work together for Daqin, that is unbelievable, Si Ye also made an appointment with his junior brother to show his ambitions in different countries in the future when he was under the army." ”

"What ambitions?"

"Correct the law, Chen is severely punished, in order to save the chaos of the masses and go to the disasters of the world, so that the strong do not bully the weak, and the people do not tyrannize the widows."

His eyes are a little empty, and he has been up and down in the officialdom, struggling hard for several years, and this ideal is like the moon hanging high in the dust, far away.

Facing the unfathomable white peach, Li Si was alert again: "Why did the little master suddenly ask about Han Feizi? ”

There was no sound ahead.

The girl had already walked more than a dozen steps away, and Li Si hurriedly chased after her and said: "Zheng Guo's matter, Si has lived up to the expectations of the little master, and after a few days, the wind in Qin will blow more and more fiercely, and when the waves are raging, I hope that the little master will contribute to Stoga." ”

"You mean let me say a few more nice words to King Qin for you?"

Bai Tao picked up the jailer's long whip from the side, and there was an iron hook on it, and when it fell, it was a splash of flesh with a belt, and she hit the iron fence in front of a prison cell with a "swish".

The prisoner shuddered and moved inside.

She pulled the whip and turned sideways to smile innocently at Li Si, "This person is still in prison and hasn't come out, so you are so quick to reward me for meritorious deeds?" ”

Li Si's cheeks were slightly cold.

As a student who is really talented and learned, he is already disgusted with a harem woman, and now that he is rejected, his face is not very able to hide.

Bai Tao said, "I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be not. ”

His tone softened: "Please also ask the little master to make it clear." ”

"You also know that the wind is strong now, you don't know how to avoid the edge for the time being, and it is still so exposed, but I don't know how many people are looking at you in the dark now, and then the court will make a drastic purge, I don't know, will it be you who will be the first to be pulled into the water and shattered?"

asked three times, and Li Si looked solemn.

Bai Tao's eyes twitched, "Or do you think that King Qin favors you, or do you have some belly that has a rod through the heavens and latitudes, where do you have to climb to be able to eat into a big fat man in one bite?" ”

"Lis, Lis."

She threw out the whip and withdrew her hand gorgeously, her red robe fluttering like a butterfly with wings, "Now everyone in the Qin Kingdom knows that Xiangguo is about to lose power, but how many people are on the opposite side like you, even the two Montessori brothers are just stirring up the water and beating the dumb fan, just you, standing like a target, for fear that others will not be able to beat you." ”

A cold sweat began to break out on Lis's back.

Bai Tao said again: "Just like a whip, if you use it, you will come out, and if you use it, you will collect it, but one day this whip hooks something hot, but it is just a whip, and who will pick it up if you throw it out?" ”

The words that penetrated into the inside were whipped at the limbs of Li Si, and he snorted.

Li Si is a smart man, enough to judge the situation, and in a moment of thought, he has already knelt on the ground: "I hope that the little master will save me!" Li Si is willing to go to the soup for the little master! ”

White peach hook lips.

Mortals are just creatures who have been enlightened.

To be tamed.

Only by taming it can we know who is the master who controls life and death, and if we know that we will be afraid, we will naturally wag our tail at you and beg for meat from your hands.

She raised her fingertips and pressed them on Li Si's majestic official hat, "Do things for me well, you won't go less on the road to heaven that you should have." ”
