"Bang!"

After the two of them were evenly matched around the pillar for a long time, all the ministers trembled in the battle, for fear that they would lose their heads if they couldn't hold back their faces and make a sound that shouldn't be made, and Zi Chu, who was weak, was physically exhausted, stumbled under his feet, and was caught up by Zhu Xiang, and snatched away the long sword.

Zhu Xiang double-wielded the long sword: "I won!" Hahahaha, I won you again, this time it's not a dead end! ”

Zi Chu, who had soft legs and soft hands, sat on the ground and scolded in a low voice: "Are you competing for a sword?!" You might as well carry a hammer!! ”

"Don't quibble if you lose, the more you quibble, the more embarrassed you are." Zhu Xiang habitually sarcastic, only to remember that now they are being watched by the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, "the monarch is ......"

The old King of Qin laughed: "Praise! Changping Jun is powerful, and he is still a warrior! Bring the reward of the widow! ”

The palace people held trays in their hands, and the fish rushed in, and one of the trays stayed in front of Zichu.

The cover cloth on the tray was opened, and there were a number of gold, jade, jewelry, silk and silk satin on it, and only Zichu had a glass of wine in front of him.

Zi Chu's heart jumped suddenly, giving birth to a strong sense of crisis.

"Possessions are but mundane things, and they are not a great reward." Old King Qin smiled and said, "Zi Chu, quickly toast to Changping Jun." The widow ordered you to worship Changping Jun as a teacher, and in the future, you must respect the teacher and do your duty as a disciple. ”

Zichu: "Huh?!" ”

Zhu Xiang: "!! ”

The two looked at each other, tired.

They sensed that if the two of them did not reconcile, the old Qin King would have more ways to toss them.

Zhu Xiang: "Your Majesty, I am only a shallow learner......"

The old King Qin interrupted: "The words of the widow have been spoken, and they will not be withdrawn." Zichu, although you have a lot of teachers, there is only one teacher who asks you to toast, I hope you can understand. ”

Zi Chu tidied up his appearance and picked up his wine glass: "Teacher, please." ”

Zhu Xiang: "......" is over, and the brother bureau has become a father-son game.

Lao Qin Wang and Zi Chu have already pulled their faces to this point, and Zhu Xiang doesn't know how to lift up if he doesn't accept it.

He awkwardly took the glass, drank the slightly sweet liquor, and felt like he was on a thief ship.

"Alright, go change your clothes." The old Qin King waved his hand with satisfaction.

Zhu Xiang and Zichu left in embarrassment.

They returned to the inner room, let the waiting palace people leave, and changed their clothes silently and mechanically, looking and physically exhausted.

"Zhu Xiang, no matter how you think of me now, but please pretend to be reconciled with me." Zi Chu held his forehead and said, "If you don't want to be tossed by the king anymore." ”

Zhu Xiang glanced at Zichu: "Call the teacher." ”

Zichu gritted his teeth: "Teacher! ”

Zhu Xiang nodded: "The child can be taught." ”

Seeing Zhu Xiang's expression, Zi Chu was slightly stunned and said, "You're not angry with me?" ”

Zhu Xiang said while tidying up his clothes: "Except for feeling sorry for Zheng'er, I didn't get angry at the beginning of the rest of the things. As I said, I won't do better than you if you do it. ”

"If you don't hide your identity, how can you intersect with me? Lu Buwei gave you a concubine, how can you let him rest assured to support you if you don't accept it? Even if it's disgusting that you designed Spring Flower to defect to me, if you make it clear to me in advance, I will help you. Zhu Xiang said, "But I know that if you had told me in advance, the plan would not have succeeded." If you dare to do this, you also trust me. ”

A sentence appeared in Zichu's heart again, "A gentleman can deceive him."

Zhu Xiang is a gentleman, so he can understand and accept his friend's suffering, but he is only angry at his friend's harm to others in this matter.

"I have mixed feelings about you right now, and it just comes from your identity." Zhu Xiang looked at the public scandal on the system page, Zi Chu's favorability for three years actually increased a little, and he smiled freely, "Your calculations all come from the fact that you are the son of the Qin Kingdom." Such an identity will make you do many helpless things in the future. I still believe in you, but I don't know how much I will trust you in the future. ”

Zi Chu arched his hand, wanting to make a promise, but he put his hands down in a dejected manner.

"Xia Tong, do you know what I experienced in Handan?" Zhu Xiang asked.

Zi Chu shook his head: "I know a little bit about it, it's not exhaustive." ”

"I was imprisoned by King Zhao, and King Zhao sent secret guards to assassinate me. The jailer and the jailer died for me. Zhu Xiang wrote lightly, "The Chinese people stormed the prison for me and sent me dozens of miles outside Handan." Lin Weng Lianweng and his new friend Li Mu bid me farewell, and when they say goodbye, they may already be enemies on the battlefield. ”

Zi Chu thought of Lin Xiangru and Lin Zhen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"I don't have much to do, and after entering Qin, I have no relatives, except for Xue and Zheng'er, only Cai Ze and you are two friends." Zhu Xiang said, "In the future, when you can use me in your calculations, please let me know first, and I will plan for you." You have returned to the Qin Kingdom, and you are valued by the King and the Crown Prince of Qin, and you can defeat the enemy with your royal ways. ”

Zhu Xiang changed his clothes and bowed to Zichu: "Son, Zichu, please follow the royal road." ”

Zi Chu looked at Zhu Xiang's mottled hair, and his mouth was sour and bitter.

"I only have one friend from you, and Lin Li is half of it." Zi Chu bowed his hand to Zhu Xiang, "I'm still Xia Tong now, please rest assured." ”

Both of them got up at the same time and walked towards the door.

On the way, Zi Chu said: "The name Zi Chu, the word Xia Tong, it seems to be good?" Zhu Xiang, don't you give yourself a word? ”

Zhu Xiang: "I'm too lazy to remember another name." I don't care, others care what happens to me. ”

Zichu was speechless. Didn't you study under Xunzi?

When he was about to take his seat, Zi Chu said again: "Cai Ze is a strategist who entered Qin with you?" You didn't get acquainted with him until I left? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Not long after you left, he came to my house as an accountant. ”

Zichu was speechless again. Does your account office attract talents?

After taking their seats, the two did not talk again.

The old King of Qin held a banquet, and the ceremony of Zhu Xiang's entry into Qin finally ended.

After the banquet, Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng were left in the palace by the old King Qin for one night, in order to once again show his importance to Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng, and then let Zhu Xiang go back to Changpingjun's mansion to rest.

Ying Xiaozheng was taken back to the mansion by the crown prince and spent a few days with Mrs. Huayang before returning to the Changping Monarch's mansion.

When Zichu left, he promised to protect Ying Xiaozheng. Ying Xiaozheng hugged his grandfather's neck, buried his head in his grandfather's arms, and ignored his father, who was embarrassed to the extreme.

When Zhu Xiang returned home, Cai Ze was also at home.

His importance to the King of Qin was not as important as Zhu Xiang, and the King of Qin did not arrange a mansion for him for the time being, so he temporarily lived in Zhu Xiang's house and waited for the appointment of the King of Qin.

Seeing that Zhu Xiang came back and drank a large pot of meat porridge first, Cai Ze was surprised: "Aren't you living in the palace?" Can King Qin still starve you? ”

Zhu Xiang wiped his mouth: "What is the name of King Qin, call Junshang." Yesterday I went to the banquet, and after Xia Tong and I finished fighting, the barbecue and boiled meat were already condensed into a piece, and it was not good to eat breakfast today. Aren't you hungry? ”

Cai Ze's voice was raised: "You and Xia Tong had a fight?" In front of King Qin?! ”

Xue also ran out with the corner of her skirt: "Have you seen Xia Tong?" Is Xia Tong good? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Sit down and talk slowly." ”

He poured a cup of hot water first, and then slowly told his wife and friends about Xia Tong's identity, his confrontation with Lü Buwei, and his calculations against Chunhua and Zheng'er.

Xue sighed and said, "Xia Tong is so pitiful, he actually married that stupid and poisonous woman from Chunhua." ”

Zhu Xiang picked up the water cup to cover the corners of his mouth. He knew that the snow was extremely thick to Xia Tong's filter. In addition, Xia Tong's calculation not only did not hurt Zhu Xiang, but also benefited Zhu Xiang, and in the eyes of the snow, he might add a few more points to Xia Tong.

A prince of the Qin State became close friends and in-laws with the common people incognito, and wanted to share the wealth with the common people, which is indeed a touching thing in the eyes of the people of this era.

Cai Ze thought the same way, but he knew that Zhu Xiang wouldn't think so.

Zhu Xiang's sense of morality is much higher than that of others, although he usually treats others with strict self-discipline and leniency, but Xia Tong is not an ordinary friend, if Zhu Xiang and his interests are different, it will be very uncomfortable.

Even if Xia Tong is the son of Qin, Zhu Xiang values feelings, not interests, so the interest theory is useless to Zhu Xiang.

"Why did you get into a fight with him?" Cai Ze said, "King Qin...... Didn't you reprimand you? ”

Zhu Xiang shook his head and sighed: "Xia Tong and I originally wanted to settle this matter privately, but the king had to see the jokes between me and Xia Tong, first let Xia Tong dissect his heart in the carriage, and then let the two of me compete with each other at the banquet, and finally let Xia Tong toast me and worship me as a teacher." A messy order came down, and Xia Tong's and I were all smashed. ”

Cai Ze was curious: "What are your plans?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Xia Tong may want to tell how miserable he is, how much he can't help himself, kneel and cry a few times to beg me for forgiveness, and then show his father-son love for Zheng'er." He knows me very well, and when he does that, I do relent. ”

Xue asked, "How are you going to deal with that beloved?" ”

Zhu Xiang sighed again: "I am ready to cry with Xia Tong according to Lin Gong's teachings, saying that I trust him more and care more about my friendship with him." If he had spoken straight to me, I would have helped. But even if a good result is achieved by deception, my sense of morality cannot allow it...... What are you nodding? ”

Xue Dao: "The beloved is indeed like this. ”

Cai Ze said: "What Xue Ji said is extremely true. Lin Gong just asked you to treat Zichu honestly with your original temperament. How do you do that? ”

Zhu Xiang coughed dryly and said, "First scolded him in front of the king, then chased him and beat him in the name of sword competition, and finally took his apprenticeship wine and asked him to call me a teacher......"

Snow: "Flutter ......"

Cai Ze: "Ahem, cough, cough ......"

Zhu Xiang looked at the sky: "Then I made up for what Lin Gong taught me, and I reluctantly forgave him." ”

Xue and Cai Ze: "Hahahahahaha! ”

Xue wiped the tears of laughter, and the fear of coming to a foreign country in her heart dissipated a lot: "Liangren, you are lying to Xia Tong, right?" You must have forgiven him in the first place. ”

Zhu Xiang scratched his cheek and said, "I scolded him for ignoring Zheng'er, it was sincere." ”

Cai Ze covered the corners of his mouth with his sleeve: "I think the most uneasy thing for you is the loss of Xia Tong's friend." You are testing him. ”

Zhu Xiang sighed: "Yes, I'm testing him." It's so good, he's still Xia Tong. ”

Zhu Xiang did not deceive Zi Chu. He did have too little, so he cherished every friend. Even if the other party is the future King of Qin Zhuang Xiang, maintaining this friendship is destined to be on thin ice, and he is unwilling to give up.

And...... Maintaining this friendship is more beneficial to Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang can already start from interests and consider his relationship with the people around him.

Xue touched Zhu Xiang's cheek, making Zhu Xiang come back to his senses from his contemplation.

"Lover, what about Zheng'er?" Snow transfer topic.

Zhu Xiang said: "Zheng'er was taken home by Zichu and said that he was going to meet Huayang's husband......"

"Uncle, I'm back! I'm so hungry!! ”

"Zhu Xiang! The widow brought Mr. and Wu Anjun to your home for dinner!! ”

Zhu Xiang: What kind of rice??!!

Chapter 44 Pork Porridge and Braised Pork Slices

There were no chairs and stools in the new mansion, Zhu Xiang sat on the cushion crookedly, and before he could come back to his senses, Xue couldn't wait to get up and greet him: "Zheng'er!" ”

Ying Xiaozheng immediately shook off his father's hand and charged towards his aunt's little meat dun: "Uncle! ”
