Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Traitor Xuanyang
Zhao Yi drank the water that the old man poured for him, and said to the old man: "Uncle, you are alone in this forest and forest, are you not afraid of wolves and robbers?"
"Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of, what is more terrible than the harsh taxes of the imperial court!" he sighed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's right, I thought that the imperial court wouldn't come to collect taxes in this old forest, who knows?" or as harsh as a tiger in other places!" Zhao Yi also said sympathetically for him.
"Shaoxia, you don't know, I have lived here for decades, I used to be a family hunting in the forest for a living, experienced the war period of the Six Kingdoms, and then Qin Shi Huang finally unified the Six Kingdoms, who knows? He promoted Legalist thought, the unarmed people of the world are tortured to serve, overhaul civil engineering, levy taxes and forced labor, I originally had a wife and a son in the prime of life, the son was arrested by the imperial court to be forced labor, to build the Great Wall and Afang Palace and other coolies, after the son left, my wife cried every day, and soon died of a heart attack......" he said of his wife and son, and he couldn't go on with tears streaming down his eyes.
"Don't cry, uncle, okay? A ruler like this, he wants to live forever, he doesn't think that sooner or later someone will revolt and overthrow him. Zhao Yi sympathized and comforted him.
"Young man, but who knows when that day will have to wait! Maybe the old man's generation will not have a chance to see it. The old man said with a sigh.
"Uncle, please believe what I said, Qin Shi Huang is already old, his son Fusu and Qin II, only Fusu is still a reliable and benevolent king, but Fusu and Qin Shi Huang disagree, he offended his father many times, his father did not let him deal with important matters of the court, and let him lead troops to fight abroad; Therefore, it is very likely that Qin II will be the emperor in the future, if he is the emperor, I think he should be even more brutal than his father emperor, and at that time, someone will definitely take advantage of that opportunity to revolt and overthrow the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, now his father is worried that the country he has laid down will be ruined in the hands of his son, so he seeks the elixir of immortality everywhere. Zhao Yi analyzed the current trend for the old man.
"I can't imagine that the young man is so young, he actually knows so much, and he analyzes the current situation so thoroughly, and he will definitely make a difference in the future. The old man looked at him and smiled, and praised him.
"Uncle has won the award, don't call me Shaoxia, my name is Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi modestly excused himself and reported his name.
"Mm-hmm, I'm lucky! You play here first, I'll go make you something to eat first, you must be hungry too." The old man saluted him, then got up and went to cook food for him.
"It's all right, uncle, you don't care about me, I bought some dry food on the way when I came, and I'll eat it in a while." Zhao Yi said politely with a smile.
"Then how can you do it? You have come thousands of miles away and have not even eaten a meal, how can you do it?" said the old man very sincerely.
"Okay then! Thank you, uncle!" Zhao Yi saluted to the old man very politely.
"Zhao Gongzi, now that the sun is setting, the person you are looking for should be coming back, and after a while, the dog bites and barks, and you can secretly investigate." The old man reminded him as he walked to the kitchen where he had figured out in the living room.
"I know, uncle!" Zhao Yi replied casually.
He hurriedly stood up, opened the door of the living room through a crack, and stared intently out of the door. After a while, the dog barked loudly, and he saw that in addition to Hao Yan and Yin Yang Jun and his subordinates, there was also a Shushan disciple wearing a Shushan Taoist robe, they passed by the door outside the compound, passing through the fence wall, the dog kept barking, and they really didn't come to the old uncle's house inexplicably, but just entered through the gate of his house. Zhao Yi saw that they had gone far away, only the back was left for him to see, he hurriedly pushed the door, and followed, Hao Yan and Yin Yang Jun looked around, they didn't see anyone, and they didn't see Zhao Yi, they pushed open the courtyard door of the house and walked into the courtyard, they walked into the courtyard, Zhao Yi followed them to the courtyard gate, and leaned his ears closer to listen. He heard them talking, "Xuan Yang, what is the big movement in Shushan recently?"
"There is no big movement, it's just that Zhao Yi left, maybe he was afraid of being expelled from Shushan, so he said goodbye in order to save a little face!" Xuan Yang reported truthfully.
"We were able to successfully obtain the artifact this time, you have worked hard, if you hadn't told us that the technique of drilling the ground could cross the Shushan enchantment, I would not have been able to successfully steal the artifact without alarming the head of Shushan, now that Zhao Yi has been blamed by us, he is no longer in Shushan, you can ......" Hao Yan also praised Xuan Yang.
Zhao Yi left cautiously and without startling, he thought as he walked: I really can't imagine that Xuan Yang is a traitor, colluding with the court, stealing artifacts, and blaming me, it's really unpredictable!
