The starry sky is like a wash, and everything is quiet.

A group of nearly 100 Qin troops slowly marched from the snowfield not far away, each of them holding strong crossbows, wearing light armor, and their movements were uniform.

Outside the courtyard gate, the Qin army automatically divided into two teams, holding torches opposite each other, making way for a passage in the middle.

I saw a majestic scribe with big ears and three long beards riding on a red horse, surrounded by a group of men, and the scarlet cloak behind him swayed in the wind, like a banner of victory.

The scribe rode to the gate of the courtyard, then turned over and dismounted, and some of his attendants hurriedly stepped forward to serve carefully. I saw that he straightened his clothes and straightened his head, and then rushed into the hospital, arched to the end at Zhao Ji, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and said in a shocking voice: "Lu Buwei is late to save the car, capital crime and capital crime!" ”

The sound is like a bell, which is deafening.

Zhao Ji looked at the man in front of him who he had loved deeply but was deeply hurt, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad, but he felt that he had mixed tastes, and he was speechless for a while.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Buwei slowly raised his head and looked at the woman opposite who was his former beloved, but now he couldn't climb high, only to see that her figure was still graceful, her appearance was still intoxicating, and the traces of time could not be found on her charming face. What is shown to people is the mature beauty after the vicissitudes of life......

Feeling the familiar and unfamiliar, hot and cold gaze cast by Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji only felt that her heart was beating faster and it was difficult to breathe.

He was much older than before, as evidenced by the gray hair on his temples. But his figure is still tall and straight, and his gestures are less of the humility of a businessman and more of the domineering momentum of a politician......

The two of them looked at each other, as if they had returned to Handan in an instant, and they were experiencing the intoxicating seven days and seven nights......

"Mother, who is he?" Zhao Zheng's voice broke the silence, and Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei hurriedly avoided each other's gazes.

Lu Buwei turned his head to look at Zhao Zheng, who was only nine years old, and saw that he was taller and stronger than his peers, with a white face and bright eyes, a dragon and tiger in his gestures, and his face with distinct facial features was as warm as jade, what a handsome young man!

Lu Buwei's eagle-like gaze flickered at first, and suddenly became kind again, he took a few steps forward, gently touched Zhao Zheng's hair, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Zheng'er has grown taller!" The tone and demeanor of this were like that of a father who had not been masked for a long time praising his son for his sudden visit.

Zhao Ji came back to her senses at this time, and she hesitated for her son's question, but she didn't know how to answer, and after a moment of silence, she said softly: "Zheng'er, this is Mr. Lu Buwei, the giant of the rich world." ”

Giants? Mr?

Lu Buwei laughed twice when he heard this, and the laughter was like a jackal, which was eye-catching.

He turned his head to look at the corpses everywhere, and said sharply: "Zhao Guoming is sending his wife and Zhenggongzi back to Qin on the surface, but secretly sending killers to premeditate assassination, which is really hateful!" When I go back to King Mingxiang, I will definitely have to pay the price for this. ”

"King Xiang?" Zhao Ji met Lu Buwei's stunning gaze and asked in surprise.

"King Xiaowen died three days after ascending the throne, and the crown prince Yiren naturally succeeded to the throne as King Xiang of Qinzhuang." Lü Buwei proudly explained: "Lu Mou was named the Marquis of Wenxin and appointed as the prime minister because of his meritorious service, and the king read my high merit, and also gave me 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan!" ”

I didn't expect King Qin Xiaowen to be the king of Qin for a few days and have been buried so quickly, and I didn't expect Yiren Langjun to become the new king of Qin so quickly, and I didn't expect that the former giant in front of him has now changed and become the most powerful person in Qin.

Zhao Ji saw that Lu Buwei was like a child who showed off how many sugars he had, and then thought of him giving himself to Yingyiren for his personal future, and leaving his mother and son in Handan, and he and Yiren took advantage of the chaos to flee to Qin, and couldn't help but hate the man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

"It turns out that you have become the prime minister, congratulations!" Zhao Ji glanced at Lu Buwei expressionlessly, then stepped forward, took Zhao Zheng's little hand, and said, "Zheng'er, we should go!" ”

"Mother, I want to take him with me." Zhao Zheng pointed to Wu Zhanzhi, who was still fainting on the ground, and said.

Zhao Ji took Zhao Zheng into her arms and gave him a tight hug, which made a deep sense and said: "It's rare for our politicians to repay their kindness, unlike some people who are ungrateful for fame and fortune!" Beasts and beasts! ”

Naturally, this was said to Lu Buwei on the side, but I saw that Lu Buwei's old face turned red, scratched his head in embarrassment, and then changed the topic and asked the man in black on the side, "Who are you?" ”

The man in black returned the sword into the sheath, raised his hand to pull out the iron dart inserted in the shoulder socket, and then knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "The last general will secretly guard Dongfang Yun, and he is ordered to secretly protect Mrs. Ji's mother and son back to Qin." ”

"Hmm" Lu Buwei nodded and said, "General Dongfang has worked hard!" ”

Xuan turned his head to look at Wu Laosan's family who fell to the ground and asked, "What about them?" ”

Dongfang Yun got up and pointed to Wu Laosan who was not far away and said: "His name is Wu Laosan, he served as a hundred generals in the army in the early years, and was sent to Zhao Guowei, and today he died in order to protect Mrs. Ji's mother and son. ”

He pointed to Wu Zhan's mother and son who fell to the ground and said, "Wu Laosan's wife was shot by the assassin, and his son fainted from grief. ”

Lu Buwei looked up at the night sky, and sighed: "It is worthy of my people of Great Qin, all of them are heroes." Come and bury Wu Laosan and his wife. ”

At the sound of an order, an entourage had already stepped forward to collect the corpse.

The thatched hut was still crackling and burning, Lu Buwei squatted down, carefully examined Wu Zhan on the ground, and saw that his immature face was full of tears, and he couldn't help but feel pity, so he ordered his subordinates to wake up Wu Zhan.

Slowly opening his eyes, Wu Zhan had not yet seen things clearly, so he cried hoarsely: "Mother...... Daddy......"

Unfortunately, no one will respond to him.

Lu Buwei raised his hand and pressed it on Wu Zhan's shoulder and said, "Boy, what's your name?" ”

Wu Zhan only cared about looking for his father and mother, where could he care about anything else, only to see him turn over, almost not overturning Lu Buwei who was squatting on the ground.

"Bold!"

After a few shouts, several of Lu Buwei's subordinates had already drawn their swords in their hands, and they were about to step forward.

Zhao Zheng hurriedly protected Wu Zhan, opened his arms, and said with a resolute face: "He is my brother, none of you are allowed to hurt him." ”

Lu Buwei stood up from the ground, laughed, and said in his heart that this kid is no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and his strength is not small. Seeing that Zhao Zheng was protecting Wu Zhan like this, he said, "You all retreat!" ”

"Hey!" Several of his men returned their swords to the sheath when they heard the order, and they were obedient like well-trained dogs.

"Where's my father and my mother?" Wu Zhan grabbed Zhao Zheng's arm and asked urgently, looking like crazy.

After all, Zhao Zheng was only a child in his early nine years, and when he saw that Wu Zhan was emotional, he couldn't bear to tell him the cruel truth, so he just cried with him in a low voice.

At this time, Zhao Ji moved the lotus step and slowly stepped forward, saying in his heart This poor child, if it weren't for us, the family would not have been ruined in an instant, alas......

Gently stroking Wu Zhan's tear-stained face, Zhao Ji said with pity: "Your father and mother have gone to another world, and you will go back to Xianyang with us in the future." ”

"No, I'm going to my father!" Wu Zhan said hoarsely, he seemed to already know what Zhao Ji meant by the so-called other world.

Lu Buwei frowned, Zhao Ji wanted to take such a drag oil bottle to Xianyang together, how to settle it? In what capacity?

"Since this child is the heir of my Qin State Heroic Martyrs, he will be handed over to me to be properly settled. Madame doesn't have to worry about it. Lu Buwei arched his hand.

The most worrying thing for me is to hand it over to you to settle, in your eyes there is only interest and no affection, for such an orphan who has no father and no mother, you are not profitable, how can you be properly settled? Zhao Ji couldn't help but curse secretly in her heart.

At this time, he saw Dongfang Yun step forward and arched his hand: "If Mrs. and Xiangguo are relieved, you can hand over this son to me, I will take him like a son, teach him skills, and let him be an upright man." ”

Lu Buwei's eyes were full of joy when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I think this arrangement is the most appropriate!" ”

Without waiting for Zhao Ji to express his position, Lu Buwei turned to his subordinates on the side and said: "According to my Great Qin law, the hundred generals Wu Laosan killed the enemy bravely, killing a total of four enemies, and his son is not the fourth rank of the lord. From now on, it was placed and raised by General Dongfang. ”

"The last will be ordered!" Dongfang Yun replied.

Zhao Ji saw that the matter had come to this, so she had no choice but to give up. Zhao Zheng ran over, took Wu Zhan's hand, stuffed a dragon-shaped jade pendant with body temperature in his palm, and said childishly: "You take this, and Xianyang will find me later." ”

Lu Buwei no longer hesitated, waved his arm and said in a shocking voice: "Escort the lady and the son back to the palace!" ”

Zhao Zheng's mother and son gradually drifted away under the escort of Lü Buwei and a group of Qin troops, leaving only Dongfang Yun and Wu Zhan at the scene, as well as a few soldiers who buried the corpses.

Kneeling beside the bulging tomb of his parents, Wu Zhan had already dried his tears.

He didn't understand, why only a few hours later, he was separated from his father and mother? As ordinary people, all we want is a piece of tiles to cover the roof and eat coarse food, why did we suffer such a catastrophe? My mother has always been kind to others and has never harmed anyone, so why should she be killed......

Dongfang Yun stood behind Wu Zhan with his arms on his chest, dressed in black and blending into the endless darkness around him.

"Your parents were killed by the assassins of Zhao State, and it's really useless to cry here for the heirs!" Dongfang Yun's voice was as cold as ice in the cold winter.

"Why? We just want to live in harmony, so why did those assassins do this? Wu Zhan roared in a hoarse voice.

"Hehehe......"

Dongfang Yun sneered and said: "Now it is a world of great controversy, the war clouds between the princes are thick, today you kill me and tomorrow I will kill you, why are there so many why?" ”

Seeing that Wu Zhan was still kneeling and choking, Dongfang Yun stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, stared at Wu Zhan's eyes fiercely and shouted: "Boy, this is a world where the weak eat the strong, if you want to avenge your parents and survive in this world, you must train yourself to be strong!" ”

"Revenge! I want revenge! From this moment on, the seeds of hatred were planted in Wu Zhan's young heart, and hatred made his originally pure eyes red.

Dongfang Yun was very satisfied with Wu Zhan's reaction, but he didn't show it on his face, and slowly loosened Wu Zhan's collar, Dongfang Yun condensed and said: "If you want revenge, you have to rely on strength, it's useless to just talk about it." ”

Wu Zhan was also clever, and then knelt on the ground, and said in a wail: "As long as I can avenge my father, I am willing to worship you as a teacher, no matter how much hardship and hardship I can bear!" ”

Dongfang Yun nodded with satisfaction at this time, and said in his heart that this son has a flexible mind, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is a material that can be made, so let me cultivate him well, let him make contributions in this troubled era, and repay Brother Wu's kindness......

On the second day, the villagers of the entire Wujiaao were boiling, they recalled the sound of fighting outside the house last night, looked at the Wu family's thatched hut that had been turned to ashes but was still smoking, and several new tombs on the side of the house were discussed, and finally came to a unified conclusion that Wu Laosan's family was all killed by the enemy last night, and the house was burned, but I don't know who did it.
