The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 29 Master and Apprentice Farewell
The state of Qin was engaged in business in the county.

This is the fiefdom of Shang Yang, and the laws of the Shang land are clear, so that the people live a prosperous life, and the people of the Shang land love Shang Yang very much.

King Qin's injustice to Lord Shang made the common people of Shang feel aggrieved.

But so what?Facing Qin's tiger and wolf troops, Shang Yang was unable to resist.

We can only organize the guards to do a good job of fortifications and arrange the transfer of family members.

The living room of the business mansion.

"Are you really not going with us?" Guiguzi knelt in the middle and sighed.

"Ha ha."

The gray-haired Shang Yang gave a wry smile. If he didn't tell you his age, he would think he was about the same age as Guiguzi. In fact, Shang Yang was 57 years old, 20 years younger than Guiguzi.

In the past few years, he was still high-spirited, and the limelight was the same for a while.

But now he is just an old man in his dying years.

"Master, I can't go, and I can't go. The King of Qin will definitely kill me in order to quell the counterattack of the nobles in the country. No one in the country dares to take me in."

Shang Yang glanced at Guiguzi with cloudy eyes, and then looked at a roll of bamboo slips on the wooden table.

"Martingale has lived for reform all his life, and what he does in this life is all based on public will. My death can be exchanged for the stability of Qin, and it is considered a worthy death."

"But what I'm most worried about is my family. I don't want to hurt them because of me. Once I'm caught, they will die, so I hope Master can properly arrange my family."

Shang Yang's cloudy eyes revealed a hint of pleading.

"I promise you."

"Thank you master!"

Shang Yang heaved a sigh of relief, bowed respectfully and knelt down, and his last wish was fulfilled.

"Hey, you and I have been a teacher and apprentice. I still remember that when you went to Guigu Mountain to learn art, you were full of spirit and lofty in mind. As a teacher, you asserted that this child will become a master."

"Everything you have done is enough to go down in history. Human life has its own destiny. You are already determined to die. I will not persuade you as a teacher. I will make arrangements for your family."

Guiguzi was expressionless, but his hands were trembling slightly.

40 years of master-student relationship, white-haired people give black-haired people, although Shang Yang is not a young man, but for Guiguzi, Shang Yang is still his most proud apprentice.

"I want to know, is everything written in the master's bamboo slips true? Is there really such a paradise where everyone abides by the law and lives in harmony with each other?"

Shang Yang put one hand on the bamboo slips placed on the wooden table, full of longing.

"Yes, there really is such a paradise, and your people will spend the rest of their lives there, you can rest assured." Guiguzi nodded.

"I really want to go and see for myself. In today's world of great strife, there is such a pure land, which makes people yearn for it." Shang Yang looked up at the angled beams and said regretfully.

"That's right, if I don't want to visit various countries, I really want to retire there." Guiguzi smiled knowingly.

"It said in the letter that the head of this village is a girl?" Shang Yang was very curious that a woman was actually the ruler of this village.

"Yes, she is a very special girl."

"Oh? It must be very special to make Master feel special." Shang Yang's curiosity grew even stronger.

"I made a plan for her before." Guiguzi looked straight at Shang Yang.

"Master never throws hexagrams easily. I still remember that the master once made a hexagram for Yang. The hexagram said that Yang's life span ends at 58 years old."

"In five days, I will be 58."

Shang Yang recalled the past and was very sad. He thought it was too far away, so he asked.

"Talk too much, how about the girl's divination?"

"The hexagram shows that the girl is."

Guiguzi raised his eyelids, and said slowly: "The face of a king!"

"what?"

Even Shang Yang, who had seen the storm, was also shocked.

"The king who will unify the nations in the future." Guiguzi added.

How can it be?

Even if there is a country that can unify the countries, it should be Qin.

How could it be a girl's film? If someone else said this, Shang Yang would definitely think him a lunatic, but this sentence was said by Gui Guzi, which made Shang Yang so unbelievable.

The reform is to make Qin strong and prosperous, and to lay a solid foundation for the future unification of other countries.

If it is true what Guiguzi said, then what is the significance of his half-life reform?
"Haha, haha, hahahahaha..." Shang Yang kept laughing.

"In the first half of Yang Yang's life, he sent a request for talents and left Hangu Pass in the west. He met Duke Xiao and talked about the imperial way to govern the country."

"The second time I met Mr. Xiao, we talked about the kingly way of governing the country."

"Three sees filial piety, talk about domineering and governing the country."

"The implementation of reforms has brought great rule to the Qin State. After decades of reforms, the reforms have begun to bear fruit. I believe that it won't be long before there will be no other powerful country except the Qin State."

"The Great Qin will unify the world, end this war-torn world, and let all the people live a peaceful life in great harmony."

"But the master said that the girl will become the king of the Unified Warring States, why?"

"Why? Why?"

Shang Yang asked three times like going crazy.

If he doesn't get the answer, he won't be reconciled. If he gets the answer, what will he do in his life?
If you can really predict the future, it is also a very painful thing.

If he could really foresee the future and knew that he would die from the reforms he instituted, would Shang Yang still do it?
An old man in the wilderness practiced the laws of Shang Jun. In the end, although Shang Yang was not taken in, Shang Yang was very proud. Even if he died, the new laws enacted would still continue and would still make Qin State stronger.

But if it wasn't for Qin to unify the countries, in the end, what's the point of doing all this?
Guiguzi looked at Shang Yang who was about to go crazy, but it was not difficult to understand.

Although the king of Qin wants to kill him, he still hopes that it will be the king of Qin who can unify the world in the future, which can also prove that what he has done is right.

Even death is worthwhile.

for a long time.

Shang Yang finally calmed down, his expression was even more unbearable than before, his body was lifeless, and he looked even older.

"I shouldn't have told you." Guiguzi whispered.

The voice knelt down opposite Guiguzi and became silent.

"Master, thank you very much."

Shang Yang didn't say anything else, took a deep look, turned around and left with his hands folded.

Guiguzi looked at Shang Yang's back and realized that this might be the last conversation between the two of them.

"Take care of yourself."

With a final sigh.

Business under the county city.

A group of Qin soldiers in black armor roared past on horses. The leader was an old man wearing a bronze mask. The mask only covered his nose, his long gray hair was loose, and he was full of murderous looks.

He is Prince Fu Yingqian, waiting for a day, waiting for too long.

Wearing a bronze mask is to cover the cut off nose, all thanks to Shang Yang.

As part of the Qin royal family, Qin Xiaogong's elder brother, the new king's uncle, the prince Taifu, is also one of the most powerful in Qin, but because the prince made a mistake, he must be punished.

His nose was cut off, which made him suffer great humiliation. For more than ten years, he was closed to himself, but his hatred for Shang Yang deepened day by day.

Yingqian knew that Qin Xiaogong was not dead, and no one could touch Shang Yang, so he did not act rashly, and kept waiting, waiting for this opportunity to get rid of Shang Yang in one fell swoop.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

Yingqian was trembling with excitement as he rode on the horse, finally being able to abolish the humiliation of more than ten years.

"Shang Yang, I'm going to cut you into pieces!"

The gate of Shangyu County opened.

Shang Yang drove his horse out alone, expressionless. He didn't let the soldiers resist, because he knew that, facing Qin's army, resistance would only make the common people suffer, and at the same time weaken Qin's national strength.

This is what he doesn't want to see.

Yingqian led the army to the city, saw Shang Yang's horse stopped under the city gate, and raised his hand to stop the army.

Yingqian drove the black war horse under his crotch and rode over alone.

"Long time no see, Mr. Shang."

Ying Qian pulled the rein, stopped a few feet away, and sneered.
