Meng Wu greeted them at the pass, and after hearing that they wanted to arrive in Xianyang as soon as possible, he prepared a good horse and rode into Xianyang with Lian Po and Li Mu.

Lian Po was puzzled: "Don't you ask me why I'm in a hurry to go to Xianyang?" ”

Meng Wu said honestly: "In Xianyang, apart from Zhu Xiang and Zheng'er, who else can make the two of them worry?" At that time, when Xunzi entered Qin, he was also eager to grow wings and fly to Xianyang immediately and beat Zhu Xiang severely. ”

Lian Po: "......" That's right, how did he forget that Xunzi was also in Xianyang.

Even if he has met many times, Lian Po is subjectively unfamiliar with Xunzi and hardly talks to Xunzi.

His temper can't get along with Xunzi.

Thinking of Xunzi in Xianyang, Lian Po's heart immediately rose with anger.

Zhu Xiang was pushed into such a dangerous situation by King Qin, Xunzi, you don't persuade Zhu Xiang not to jump into the pit? ! Although he couldn't stop the King of Qin, if Zhu Xiang didn't offer advice to let the generals teach and train soldiers in the Xianyang Academy, the King of Qin would not use such a bad idea!

"Useless old horseman." Lian Po snorted coldly.

Meng Wu's ears moved, and his heart was happy.

Lian Gong and Xunzi are not on good terms? I don't know which side Zhu Xiang will be on.

Li Mu asked, "Are you very familiar with Zhu Xiang?" ”

Meng Wu nodded: "Zhu Xiang is lonely, and he made me a friend when he arrived in Qin State." ”

Li Mu: How does the phrase "......" sound weird?

The honest boy Li Mu didn't think too much, and said worriedly: "Is Zhu Xiang being excluded by the Xianyang nobles?" Zhu Xiang is sincere to people and is not withdrawn. ”

Meng Wudao: "The prince often eats and lives at Zhu Xiang's house, and Zhu Xiang also has to support Ying Hou and Wu Anjun, and is forced to be isolated. ”

Lian Po and Li Mu had big doubts in their heads at the same time.

The prince often eats and lives at Zhu Xiang's house, and it is estimated that Xia Tong and Zheng'er attracted him. Why did Zhu Xiang support Ying Hou and Wu Anjun? Don't Ying Hou and Wu Anjun have no heirs?!

Even if there isn't, shouldn't the King of Qin be responsible for the support of meritorious heroes? Changping Jun of the Qin State is here to do this?!

Lian Po and Li Mu finally knew why Xunzi wanted to put on his wings, and they now felt that riding a horse was too slow.

Meng Wule rode back to Xianyang with Lian Po and Li Mu.

He looked at Lian Po, who was said to have been old and unarmed, but he was not tired from riding a horse all day, and he was amazed.

I heard that Lian Po is old, are those people blind?

When the king of Qin heard that Meng Wu had sent someone to report in advance, Lian Po and Li Mu were too worried about Zhu Xiang, so they left their large army and rode back to Xianyang. His eyes were wide in confusion.

He said to Prince Zhu, who yawned and helped him check the paperwork with a bitter face, "What are they worried about?" Even if they are worried, what is the use of them coming to Xianyang? ”

Prince Zhu forcibly yawned and said, "Probably they don't care if it's useful or not, they will be relieved to see Zhu Xiang earlier." ”

King Qin said: "The widow asked, what are they worried about!" ”

Prince Zhu made a look of being frightened by King Qin, and pouted in his heart. Father, you deliberately let the generals of the Qin State who were originally very close to Zhu Xiang have a lot of complaints about Zhu Xiang, and asked them what they were worried about?

You can do it yourself, and others can't be angry or exposed. Is this the king?

"I heard that after Lian Po learned that Zhu Xiang returned Changping's taxes to Changping, he angrily scolded Zhu Xiang for what he used to support his son." Prince Zhu "guessed", "Li Mu and Cai Ze said that Zheng'er didn't spend much money, and there was Xia Tong. Lian Po scolded him for farting. ”

King Qin frowned: "Why hasn't the widow heard about this?" ”

Prince Zhu said: "Cai Ze said in the letter to Zhu Xiang that I happened to be there that day. ”

King Qin's brows stretched: "I see." ”

After he saw through Zhu Xiang's true purity, he asked people to reduce the surveillance of Zhu Xiang, such as no longer requiring that every letter received by Zhu Xiang be truthfully reported. So such an interesting story, he only knows now.

King Qin said: "Lian Po and Li Mu entered Qin, and the widow should go out of the city to greet each other." When Lian Po saw Zhu Xiang, he hoped that he would not embarrass Zhu Xiang in public, and questioned Zhu Xiang's mistreatment of Zheng'er. ”

Prince Zhu sighed in his heart. He knew that the monarch was not so easily fooled by him. I hope that Lian Po will be smart, and after seeing Zhu Xiang, he will quickly scold Zhu Xiang for Zhu Xiang's "mistreatment" of Zheng'er.

Prince Zhu anxiously waited for the moment when Lian Po and Li Mu arrived in Xianyang.

King Qin really went out of the city to greet him in person and brought Zhu Xiang with him.

Zhu Xiang rarely wore the crown dress of the feudal monarch once, and he looked quite presentable.

Lian Po, Li Mu, and Meng Wu dismounted in advance, walked to the King of Qin, and bowed to the King of Qin.

King Qin hurriedly helped Lian Po up: "Xinpingjun don't be polite, Xinpingjun will not worship the widow in the future." ”

He picked up Li Mu again, and said earnestly: "Zhu Xiang often praises you for your talent comparable to the widow's Wu Anjun, and the widow's Great Wall is also guarded for you." I hope that in the future, you can inherit the title of Bai Gongwu Anjun. ”

Lian Po and Li Mu were both grateful, and they couldn't wait to dig out their hearts and livers for such a virtuous monarch, showing that they would definitely live up to the value of King Qin.

King Qin saw that Lian Po and Li Mu were grateful, and he was also moved to tears.

Zhu Xiang: "......" is picking out his toes and picking them again, and he will soon be able to pick out a new palace for Zheng'er as a separate palace.

Lian Po glanced keenly at Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang reflexively shrunk his neck.

Seeing this, King Qin switched his benevolent smile expression for a second: "Xin Pingjun and General Li are tired from their journey, and the widow will not have a banquet today." Zhu Xiang has prepared a place to live, and we will go to Zhu Xiang's other village to continue chatting. ”

Ying Xiaozheng interjected: "Father Zeng is Zheng'er's other village." The uncle said that Zheng'er's is Zheng'er's, and his uncle's is still Zheng'er's. ”

"Poor mouth!" King Qin tapped Ying Xiaozheng's head, "Come and salute Duke Lian and General Li." ”

"Lian Weng! Teacher! Zheng'er misses you so much! It is impossible to salute, Ying Xiaozheng directly rushed into Lian Po's arms.

Lian Po caught Ying Xiaozheng, first stunned, and then choked: "Zheng'er, why did you lose weight?" I've lost a lot of weight...... Zhu Xiang! ”

"I'm here, I'm here. Zheng'er is obviously fat! Zhu Xiang hurriedly defended, "He has gained a lot of weight!" ”

"You fart!" Lian Po scolded.

Prince Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Well, okay, the crisis is over.

Chapter 75: Bathing water in the bathhouse

King Qin dismissed his ministers and took Lian Po and Li Mu to Zhu Xiang's house to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

Zhu Xiang had already asked people to prepare the banquet, and after Lian Po and Li Mu arrived at Zhu Xiang's house, they would be able to eat immediately.

At the banquet, King Qin, Lian Po, and Li Mu exchanged cups, pulled some homely things, and said some considerate words, which looked like ordinary people were gathering.

Zhu Xiang silently took a sip of hot rice wine, to be honest, this scene made him look a little stressed and had a stomachache.

In the year he came to the Qin State, Zhu Xiang often felt this way.

If he hadn't paid attention to a healthy diet and exercised, I'm afraid he would have had stomach problems.

Zhu Xiang thought that after he entered Qin, as long as he closed the door and lived his own small life, his life would definitely be better than when he was in the suburbs of Handan.

But in reality, it backfired.

After arriving in Xianyang, Zhu Xiang's material conditions were indeed much better. With the support and protection of King Qin, he was able to come up with things that he didn't dare to take out in Handan, and his social status also improved a lot.

Zhu Xiang also has elders in Xianyang's family, friends, Xue and Zheng'er, and Zhu Xiang's daily routine seems to be similar to that in Handan. But the subtle difference between these "almost" is like finding fault with the trees skewed in different directions in the comparison picture, and the sense of presence is particularly strong.

It's not that the elders are bad now, or that the friendship with friends has changed. It's just that after the home was filled with cameras, everyone's behavior spontaneously changed.

Zhu Xiang took another sip of hot rice wine, and overpowered his discomfort with the scene in front of him with a slightly drunken feeling.

"Zhu Xiang, are you feeling unwell?" Li Mu had been observing Zhu Xiang and asked worriedly.

Zhu Xiang shook his head: "There is no discomfort in the body, but I have repeatedly wondered why Zheng'er is about to gain weight, and Lian Gong also said that Zheng'er has lost weight." ”

Fat Ball Ball Massa: ?!

Uncle, can you talk nonsense just because you are my uncle?

Lian Po wanted to slap the table, but he was afraid that King Qin was here, put down his raised hand, and told Zhu Xiang with his eyes, wait for King Qin to leave and then clean you up.

Ying Xiaozheng pinched the flesh on his arm and asked seriously, "Uncle, is Zheng'er really fat?" ”

Zhu Xiang nodded: "Yes, Zheng'er will start to eat vegetarian tomorrow." ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "...... No. "Well, my uncle didn't really say he was fat, he was just bullying him.

"Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense, Zheng'er should be stronger. Your brethren are stronger than you. King Qin said kindly.

Ying Xiaozheng's mind flashed a few spherical clan brothers who had only seen a few faces, and he quickly shook his head to shake the image of the clan brother out of his mind: "I will practice swords more seriously!" ”

In the dream, I don't have a deep impression of a few cousins, but in the few pictures, they can be regarded as a talent. Why when I was a child, I was all fat balls? Gasping for breath after a few steps? Don't be like that.

Prince Zhu glanced at Zhu Xiang, then at Ying Xiaozheng, and whispered to King Qin: "Father, you have stood in the cold wind for so long today, and you went to bed late yesterday, do you want to rest early?" Lian Gong and General Li were tired from the journey, and perhaps a little sleepy. ”

Zhu Xiang's expression was not very good, Zheng'er had secretly yawned by drinking water since just now, and Prince Zhu made an excuse to let the banquet end early.

King Qin bowed: "Also, Duke Lian, General Li, rest early." In a few days, the widow will come back to bother. ”

Lian Po and Li Mu said "don't dare, don't dare."

As soon as King Qin left, Lian Po and Li Mu fell shoulders and were so tired that they couldn't get up in their chairs.

"Xue, you take Zheng'er to take a bath and sleep. Lian Gong, Li Mu, the water in the bath has been filled, and going to the bubble bath will help relieve fatigue. Zhu Xiang said.

Lin Zhen said: "I won't accompany you, I have to go to the court tomorrow." ”

Xia Tong arched his hand: "I will also retire first." ”

Xun Kuang, Fan Ju and Bai Qi also said goodbye to Lian Po and Li Mu, saying that they would bother after Lian Po and Li Mu had rested.

Zhu Xiang, Lian Po, and Li Mu rinsed their bodies and hair first, and after dissipating the smell of alcohol, they went into the bath to take a bath.

The alcohol content of rice wine is not high, and they do not dare to drink more at the same table as the King of Qin. When you walk to the bathhouse, the smell of alcohol is almost gone, and you can take a bath.

In modern times, the alcohol content is generally high, and it is not possible to take a bath after drinking.

Bathing is a habit brought by Zhu Xiang. After Zhu Xiang left, Lian Po and Li Mu also dug a bath at their own house, and occasionally took a dip.

The three of them let out a long sigh of relief, and their spirits relaxed a lot.

"How many people did King Qin put in your house to watch?" Lian Po asked straight to the point.

Zhu Xiang smiled bitterly: "Lian Gong, I brought very few servants, and the family is full of people given by the king." ”

Lian Po said: "Your every move is under his nose? Does he still let people report in every detail? ”
