Late at night on the seventh day of Zhao Zihu's voyage, it was also the night when he was about to arrive at Zhifu on his return voyage.

The East Patrol Camp, inside the Imperial Tent.

Ying Zheng was fighting at night, killing Zhao Gao and throwing away his armor, and shouted "Your Majesty, don't come again".

At this time, the two sat cross-legged opposite each other, and there was a small number in the middle, and a hexagonal thick wooden chessboard was placed on the table, and there were two colored bead-like chess pieces on the chessboard, each with ten pieces, made of white jade and agate.

There are also four small drawers at the feet of the two of them, which also contain another ten four-color jade beads each, and looking at the dozens of hollow holes on the chessboard, as well as the layout of the chess, they are clearly playing checkers.

Hearing Zhao Gao begging for mercy again, Ying Zheng also put down the agate in his hand, stood up slowly, glanced at the candle on the imperial case, he paced towards the door, and a slightly salty sea breeze blew through the tent curtain and blew in.

Standing still by the curtain, squinting through the gap to feel the night outside, he subconsciously sniffled and asked worriedly, "You say, when is this?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty! It's already the seventh night of Childe's voyage. Zhao Gao was not in a hurry to clean up the mess, but followed the emperor's back, and when he saw the question, he hurriedly waved his hands to answer.

When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he let out a heavy "um", obviously blaming Zhao Gao, am I asking about this?

Don't pretend! You're just worried about that clan tiger......

Thinking funny in his heart, Zhao Gao could only say embarrassedly on the surface: "Huh? Just after the second watch! ”

"How long has it been since I sent a boat back to report and save a Yue person, so I want to go deep into Dongou first?"

"It's been four days!"

"Hey! And thou sayest, It has been seven days. Why is the baby still unheard? Ying Zheng stroked his beard and felt sad.

The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth twitched, very helpless, but he wouldn't say anything like "Gongzi Jiren has his own natural appearance".

After a while, he smiled and said: "Good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years!" Your Majesty. No news is a good thing......"

What if you let Meng Yi come? No. He wouldn't have thought that at all, and he wouldn't have said it!

If you want to say this to someone else, Ying Zheng doesn't pick up the candlestick on the spot and smash the other party to death, that is light.

But Zhao Gao was different, when he said this, the emperor would only smile and shake his finger.

"You? You old slippery head. Don't you ......remember that Diao Chan's daughter?"

What about my daughter's memory?

Your Majesty, do you think I, the future father-in-law, will not be nervous about him?

Who made you so confused that you sent him out to sea......

Thinking like this, Zhao Gao heard the emperor ask again: "I don't know what kind of danger the baby will encounter if he goes deep into Dongou?" ”

Seeing that he was silent, and didn't know what he was thinking, Ying Zheng sighed again: "That's it!" Leave him alone and continue to play chess. ”

Ying Zheng returned to his position again, quickly cleaned up the mess, and picked a pearl made of basalt for himself.

"It's still black and it looks more pleasing to the eye! What are you doing in a daze? Go on, go on. He urged Zhao Gao.

"Then again. It's really funny what kind of checkers the baby did for the 'Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles'......"

Zhao Gao glanced at the emperor seriously, waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty!" It's time for you to rest. It's been four days since this chess was played! ”

"Huh? Have it? Yeah. Let's change to chess, right? What Daqin and Rome, there is also a Suez River in the middle, it feels extraordinary! ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao persuaded again, and at the same time secretly sighed, my duplicitous emperor, Your Majesty! Don't you want to care about that clan tiger......

If you really don't want to care, you can spend days tinkering with what he's done?

Can you send Zhao Tuo and more than 100 sharp soldiers, and send another clipper ship to support?

"Alright, alright! Kill two more games of chess and rest, it's always okay. Ying Zheng waved his hand irritably, and in the past few days since he saw the baby, he just couldn't feel at ease.

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly hear a drum beat on the seashore in the distance, which shattered the silent night and stirred his heart even more.

"Did you hear me......

Ying Zhengjiong's eyes widened, looked at Zhao Gao, and saw the confirmation of the nod of this favored minister, he was very happy, got up suddenly, and was about to rush out: "It's the coward, it must be the cowardly baby!" ”

Maybe it's just that Zhao Tuo didn't find anyone, and maybe he came back. Zhao Gao smiled bitterly, hurriedly caught up a few steps, and reminded loudly: "Your Majesty! Huh. Your Majesty! Shoes, your shoes......"

Ying Zheng's movements were sluggish for a while, and then he reacted, turned around and smiled, let Zhao Gao come near, squatted down and put on his shoes, and he listened to the little old man's chatter.

"Moreover, this place is still a hundred and ten miles away from Zhifu Wharf. You don't have any shoes on, are you going to fly over? Your Majesty. ”

At this time, Zhao Gao lived like an old mother. In his eyes, Yingzheng has become a reckless child.

"Yes, yes! Prepare the ship, hurry up and prepare the ship......"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, put on his shoes, and walked out of the imperial tent quickly. But thinking about it, he didn't think it was good, and folded back again.

He snorted and said, "I am the Emperor of Great Qin!" It's a cowardly baby's father! How can there be a reason for a father to pick up his son with great fanfare? I'm going to have to let that kid come to see me. ”

Saying so, Ying Zheng simply kicked off his shoes again, went to the couch and lay on his side, asking Zhao Gao to pass the decree again.

"Your Majesty! If it is really the son's return voyage, it will take at least half an hour to come to see you from Zhifu to the shore. ”

The corners of Zhao Gao's eyebrows trembled, he was reminding the emperor that there is still a long time, are you sure you can wait?

What else can Ying Zheng do, I wanted to take it just now, but I felt that I couldn't go, so I can't change my mind now.

He had to keep a straight face and wave his hand at Zhao Gao, saying that he didn't need to say much, he made such a happy decision.

But soon, Ying Zheng tasted the bitterness, feeling like a year, and his heart was tormented.

However, on Zhao Zihu's side, he and Wu Zhu ate a lot of wine and meat on the flying scissor boat.

found out that Zhao Tuo was sent to pick him up, and everyone gathered together, not to mention how happy it was......

Zhao Tuo also went down in person for Zhao Zihu's safe return, and even persuaded the two tribal leaders to surrender, beating the war drums on the boat loudly.

"He Daqin Gongzi, Iron Eagle Ruishi Grand Captain, won a miraculous feat, and returned home......"

"He Daqin Gongzi, Iron Eagle Ruishi Grand Captain, won a miraculous feat, and returned home......"

Before the two clippers docked, the common people and lords at both ends of Zhifu Island and Yantai were all alarmed.

Not only did the people spontaneously gather on the shore, waving and cheering, but they gradually shouted in unison with the slogans of the boats.

The Xuan flag was fluttering, the gongs and drums were noisy, Zhao Zihu, Xiang Liyue and Wu Zhu, as well as Zhao Tuo, Shi Lu and others got off the boat, and before they could gain a firm foothold, they saw Zhao Gao separate from the crowd and quickly walked in front of him.

"I've seen Childe! His Majesty wants the prince to go to the royal tent to meet him immediately! ”

Zhao Gao waved his hand respectfully, but his eyes glanced at the donkey and Wuzhu behind Zhao Zihu, and while he had a guess in his heart, he was also very surprised.

Listen to these four shouts......

Could it be that this clan stubborn tiger opened the banner and persuaded the leader of Dongou to win?

That's outrageous, isn't it?

Thinking like this, without waiting for Zhao Zihu to explain, Zhao Gao immediately beckoned to the attendants beside him, and explained in his ear: "Go!" Hurry up and report to Your Majesty that the leader of Baiyue has also been brought back by Gongzi. Be quick! ”

Seeing the situation, Zhao Zihu didn't say much, only nodded, then held the hands of the two leaders left and right, and strode to follow Zhao Gao.

Su Shao and Wu Zhu He had never seen such a battle, and they only felt a little flattered, and their hearts could not be calm for a long time.

In fact, after getting on the flying clipper boat and seeing Zhao Tuo, they understood that this adventure to Daqin's side was worth it.

In the past, they would never have dreamed that a dignified prince of Great Qin would be able to be kind and easy-going to his subordinate generals and common people like brothers and buddies, without any arrogance at all.

This kind of way of treating people can't be pretended. Including themselves, even if they show how much they love the people like children, they still feel that they still have a sense of alienation from the people in terms of identity and status......

With such a thought, under the leadership of Gongzi Zihu, the two followed Zhao Fuling to board the ship, transferred to Yantai Wharf, and walked to meet the rumored Great Qin Shi Huang who "swept Liuhe".

It's just that when approaching the imperial tent and Zhao Fuling went in to report, Su Shao and Wuzhu heard a majestic and excited voice coming from it.

"It's coming! Good boy, it's finally Ken back. Zhao Gao, like this! It is getting late today, and the two leaders are very tired from the long journey, so let them rest first. I'll see you tomorrow ......"

"Yui~"

Zhao Gao quickly retreated again, looked at Zhao Zihu quite playfully, and then said to Su Shao and Wuzhu: "Two leaders!" Please come with me. ”

How could the two of them have other thoughts, they glanced at each other, and only felt that the first emperor was too sympathetic to himself, so he hurriedly kept up with the pace of Zhao Fuling.

However, they didn't go far before they heard a sound in the tent.

"Don't let me come in yet!"

When he shook and did not have to ascend, he felt that there seemed to be an invisible pressure, which was released from it, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Ahem! Two leaders. Please, right? ”

Zhao Gao reminded again: "It's just the emperor's family matter!" You don't have to worry too much. ”

Suddenly came back to his senses, shook and Wuzhu were also hee, waved his hand at Zhao Fuling and thanked him, and walked outside the camp without hesitation.

Zhao Zihu, who heard the roar of his own Laozi, pouted his lips quite disapprovingly, and waited for a while before stepping into the imperial tent.

As soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw that Ying Zheng was still wearing wide civilian clothes, lying on his side on the couch, but his clothes and hair were messy, and he had a pair of bare feet, his shoes and socks were kicked to the sides at will, and the surroundings were full of all kinds of chess that Zhao Zihu himself had made up before.

As soon as Ying Zheng saw the coward, he blew his beard and glared: "Say it!" What is my guilt? ”

"What crime? What sin am I? Father. I've brought you two younger brothers! Zhao Zihu asked knowingly, and gave a thumbs up to show his merits.

Hearing the words of the coward, Ying Zheng grinned and smiled: "Oh! So, not only can't I punish you, but I also reward you? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Zhao Zihu raised his eyebrows proudly.
