Zhao Zhi was in good spirits, warmly greeting every guest who came to visit today, and he felt honored to be able to invite His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson and Huang Shigong into the Zhao family at the same time today.

Carefully prepared dishes are served like a flowing stream.

These are all ordinary people, and they may not be able to see the delicacy for a lifetime. However, in Zhao Ying's eyes, it was actually like that. The practices are all passed down from their own Tianxiang Pavilion, as for the category......

In this era, the variety of dishes is really scarce, and many dishes that are commonplace in later generations have not yet appeared. In addition, there is no convenient transportation in later generations, and there is no strong transportation capacity in later generations, even if there is an ice cellar to store, it is difficult for vegetables from the north and south to circulate with each other like in later generations, so even if these high-ranking families are rich, it is difficult to enjoy the blessings of ordinary people in later generations.

On the contrary, he concocted bean sprouts and tofu by himself, opened up the Hexi Corridor, and introduced some varieties from the Western Regions, which slightly enriched everyone's dinner table.

Because of Huang Shigong, this time Xing Yu'er, a junior, was also able to sit in the front and sit at the same table with Xu Cheng, and he only needed to raise his face a little to see Zhao Ying sitting at the top.

Seeing that this little junior sister newly accepted by her master, she secretly glanced at Zhao Ying from time to time, and Xu Cheng, who was sitting at the same table with her, couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Little junior sister, didn't you fall in love with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, do you want me to beg the master for you and let him come forward to be a matchmaker for you......"

When Xing Yu'er heard this, she couldn't help but blush.

"How can there be—senior sister, don't make fun of me, I, I'm just curious, how can this emperor's eldest grandson even ...... such a craft as jade carving."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but glance back at her senior sister.

"I have often heard the story of this emperor's eldest grandson before, I know that he is strong and strong, bravely crowned the three armies, and I have also heard that he swept through Mobei, broke the four countries in one day, and fixed the west of the river with three arrows, and even heard that he was good at cooking, good at Mojia and peasant learning, and made many ingenious farm tools——"

When Xing Yu'er said this, her eyes became more and more curious.

"Although those are incredible, I can still understand them, after all, they are all skills that govern the country and the people, and are beneficial to the imperial court, but this jade carving is a small way, how can he ...... it"

Seeing this, Xu Ying couldn't help but glance at it, and Zhao Ying, who was sitting at the top and talking and laughing with everyone, said with a smile.

"It can't be this Emperor Sun Tianzong Genius, for us people, a thousand difficult knowledge, he will be able to think about it a little?"

Xing Yu'er: ......

Seeing Xing Yu'er's reaction, Xu Ying couldn't help but smile.

"Otherwise, you go up and ask ...... yourself."

Xing Yu'er naturally knew that this was this senior sister making fun of herself, and immediately responded with a smile.

"Senior sister, why don't you ask yourself, I see that you know him so well, maybe you will accidentally become a confidant of His Royal Highness, I heard that he was ...... when he was in Hexi."

The two sat at the same table, chuckling in a low voice, almost biting their ears to speak, but alas, Zhao Ying's ears are so useful, listening to these two little women gossiping about themselves in a low voice, they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths slightly, don't turn their heads, and pretend not to hear.

What's wrong with me Zhao Ying marrying more than a dozen wives and concubines in one go?

That's all for the court!

This woman has long hair and short knowledge.

At the banquet.

Zhang Liang picked up the wine glass, and asked seemingly casually by toasting his master.

"Master, the last time I saw you, didn't you say that you were going to take your little junior sister west to Shu? Why did you suddenly think to come here......

When the old man heard this, he said with a smile.

"Originally, I planned to go to Shudi, but I heard someone say that there was a king in Zhangjun, and I was quite curious, so I made a special trip to see ......."

As soon as the old man Huangshi said this, there was an instant silence at the banquet.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the emperor who was sitting at the top.

This question is so sensitive!

Especially in front of the emperor's eldest grandson.

But when Zhao Ying heard this, not only was he not angry, but he smiled, just picked up the wine glass in front of him and raised his glass towards Huangshi Gongyao.

"When I was in Xianyang, I often heard people talk about Mr. Daming, and I knew that Mr. was a scholar and a celestial man, not only proficient in the art ......of war, but also good at yin and yang mathematics, and the study of looking at qi and looking at physiognomy."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying raised his wine glass and drank it all, and then asked curiously.

"I don't know if Mr. is here, but he has seen Wang Qi......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts suddenly sank, and they looked at Huang Shigong who was sitting upright with a normal expression with some nervousness and expectation.

Huang Shigong put down the wine glass in his hand with a smile, and said seriously with a snow-white face.

"Although the king's qi is ethereal, ordinary people, can not penetrate, but it is born of adhering to the law of the operation of heaven and earth, and it is the manifestation of the people's will in heaven and earth......

Speaking of this, Huang Shigong couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

"It's a pity that when I first heard that Zhangjun was kingly, I was quite curious, thinking that there was something I didn't understand, so I didn't hesitate to travel a long way to check out, but I never thought that it was just a rumor in the market, if I hadn't met His Highness here, and received such a successor who could inherit the old man's jade skills, wouldn't I have to run this trip in vain......"

Hearing Huang Shigong's answer, everyone couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and for a while, they didn't know whether to regret or rejoice.

At the beginning, when this prophecy just came out, they, the wealthy families of Zhangjun, wanted to say that there were no waves in their hearts, who would believe it?

But now that I heard Huang Shigong assert that the destiny of heaven was in Qin, there was no so-called royal spirit in Zhangjun at all, but I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in my heart.

Regardless of whether what Huang Shigong said was true or not, everyone couldn't help but raise their wine glasses and respond with a smile.

"Sure enough, as I expected, the old man asserted that the so-called Zhangjun Wangqi must be someone with a heart secretly spreading rumors and confusing people's hearts......

"Yes, yes, I'll just say, Daqin can sweep the universe in just over ten years, encompassing the four seas, it must be the Mandate of Heaven, get lucky, how can there be any more royal spirit, the person who spreads such rumors, it is really his heart can be punished......"

"Exactly, exactly, Great Qin first had His Majesty like him, the hero of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors of Dechao, and then there was a benevolent monarch like the eldest son and the eldest grandson of the emperor who has not been encountered for thousands of years......

“……”

"People's hearts are complicated, there will always be some people with ambitions, harboring evil intentions, trying to demagogue, but they are just clowns, rats hiding in the gutter - to care about these things, it is a waste of our minds......"

Listening to the words of everyone present, in front of him, you and me, lest he fall behind, Zhao Ying couldn't help but raise his wine glass with a smile and looked around at everyone.

"Gentlemen, only the wine and the beauty should not be disappointed, now that there is the wine of the Zhao family master, wouldn't it be a big pity not to raise a glass and drink it......"

Hearing Zhao Ying say this, everyone raised their glasses in response.

"What Your Highness said is extremely true, all the kings drink victorious-"

……

This banquet was drunk from noon to evening, and then it dispersed one after another.

Zhao Zhi originally wanted to keep the old man and apprentice of Huangshi and Zhao Ying to live in his own house, but Zhao Ying politely refused, so he personally sent him out of the door with a regretful face.

"Your Highness, go slowly—"

"Sir, walk slowly—"

Zhao Ying, supported by Wang Laosi, climbed on horseback, and the old man Huangshi, under the service of Zhang Liang, boarded the carriage specially prepared by Zhao Zhi and waved goodbye to Zhao Zhi.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, almost in the afternoon of the same day, Huang Shigong's statement about the king's anger in Zhangjun spread out of nowhere......

In the city of Zhangjun, in an inconspicuous dwelling.

"Smack-"

A teacup was smashed to pieces.

"The old thief of Huangshi is really not a son of man, and he is a celebrity in vain! How dare he so blatantly aid and abuse the tiger—"

Looking at Chu Ping, who was so angry that his chest fluctuated, and the old man with gray hair on the side, he shook his head calmly.

"He has always been moving after the situation and has no position, so what is so strange about today's performance? From that Zhang Liang's defection to the enemy, I knew that this person was probably not a person in my way......"

Hearing the old man's consolation, Chu Ping's heart calmed down a little, and he frowned and asked for advice.

"In the opinion of the gentleman, how should we ...... now?"

The old man twisted his beard and groaned for a long time, and then said slowly.

"Huang Shigong is a person who is famous all over the world, and he endorses the Qin people, it is difficult for us to make a difference in public opinion, and now we can only wait and see what ......happens."

"Wait and see?"

Chu Ping asked a little unwillingly.

The old man nodded earnestly and repeated.

"Wait and see."

Seeing that Chu Pingwu was a little unwilling, he patiently comforted him.

"The so-called gentleman sees the opportunity and follows the trend. Now that the first emperor is old, the position of the crown prince is undecided, and the eldest son is on the side, and the prince of Lu holds the male army in Huiji, and the son hangs alone overseas, and the eldest grandson of the emperor is growing day by day......"

Speaking of this, the old man smiled.

"These are the roots and seedlings of cholera, don't be impatient......"

Chu Ping's dark face showed a hint of joy at this time, and he bowed down.

"No! I will not dare to go against the words of the gentleman—"

After speaking, he said happily.

"Doesn't it mean that the alliance has already planted a lot of our men in the army under the pretense of that Madame Zheng's hand? What's going on now, do you want me to go over and add another fire to them......"

……

"Master Hou, the people sent by Mrs. Zheng have always been relatively stable, and they don't dare to make any big moves, do you want us to add another fire to them......"

Yuyang County.

Kuaitong was dressed in a black robe and a new fox fur coat, and stood beside Han Xin with his hands folded and a smile. During this time, he lived a comfortable life, and his whole person was fat, and he looked like a harmless rich man, but if the words that came out of his mouth fell into the mouths of outsiders, he would inevitably be frightened and his back cold.

Han Xin pressed the long sword in his hand and pondered for a long time before slowly shaking his head.

"Don't worry, we finally have the opportunity to help His Highness collect these talents, we must not act rashly and startle the snake......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Kuaitong on the side.

"That little lady of the Zheng family, after all, is my newly married Mrs. Ru, and she has been leaving people in Xianyang, so there is something wrong with it - Mrs. Zheng's side, I'm afraid I don't worry, it's better to go back to Mr. Lao and help me take people back to Yuyang......"

Hearing this, Kuai Tong glanced at Han Xin, and then looked at each other and smiled.

"No, I will live up to the trust of the Hou Ye, and I will definitely bring the Hou Ye's family and entourage back to Yuyang safely——"

Han Xin nodded calmly.

"If Mrs. Zheng is on her side, she is a guest in her family, or a member of her mother's family, you can just agree and bring it back to Yuyang ...... together."

Kuaitong laughed.

"Good—"

Soon, Kuaitong packed up his carriage and horses, and rushed to Xianyang with a team of Great Qin elites and a rich gift for Mrs. Zheng.

……

Yanbei County.

Looking at the few doormen who came to join with Mrs. Zheng's handwritten letter, Xiang Yu couldn't help frowning slightly, and his expression was a little unhappy.

This is the third wave of talents sent by his mother-in-law since he got married.

There were already more than a dozen people.

Seeing Xiang Yu's reaction, the middle-aged man in the lead smiled and arched his hand.

"The general doesn't have to be embarrassed, I was originally just a guest of Gongzi Gaofu, and I came on the orders of my wife, if the general thinks it's not easy to arrange, it's okay for me to go back——"

As soon as the other party said this, Xiang Yu was a little difficult to refuse, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Zhao Wan who was sitting next to him, Zhao Wan shook his head indifferently.

"Husband, you don't need to look at me, I don't understand your messy things, if you think these people sent by Ah Ma are still of some use, just stay, if you think it's not easy to arrange, just send them ......back."

Xiang Yu groaned for a moment and nodded slightly.

He waved his hand at them.

"In this case, then you should go down to the apprentice general, and do some things like a scribe under him, and after a while, when you have merit, you will be promoted and arranged as appropriate......"

The few people who came with the man were not annoyed, and bowed as usual.

"Thank you general, we will do our best to live up to the trust of Mrs. and the general!"

Xiang Yu bowed his head slightly, and waved his hand indispensably.

"Let's go down......"

……

Zhao Ying, who was far away in Zhangjun, didn't know the stories behind these things, and at this time, he was sitting in his study, looking leisurely at the progress of his officials in Zhangjun in the past few days.

Wang Laosi, who was on the side, knelt there sweaty, not daring to move. (End of chapter)
