After the subjugation of the country, I became pregnant with the cub of Emperor Qiu

Yi Ci struggled.

Gu Zheng stubbornly grabbed Yi Ci to prevent him from leaving.

Under the light and shadow, Gu Zheng's face was as cold and deep as a statue, and a corner of his calm appearance was finally torn, revealing the original ruthlessness and coldness. "Those who achieve great things don't stick to small details."

Gu Zheng is a born conspirator, the two qualities of ruthlessness and cunning are engraved in his blood as if he was born with it.In Gu Zheng's world, there is no word of sympathy, and everyone will only use the most effective and fastest method. As long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, everyone can become a pawn on the chessboard.

Yi Ci already knew that Gu Zheng was such a person.

But perhaps it was the more than half a year of getting along that made Yi Ci numb and careless. Seeing Gu Zheng's undisguised cold face, Yi Ci was surprised for a moment, and only the coldness of being thousands of miles away remained on Yi Ci's face. .

He and Gu Zheng are two completely different people.

That's right, he is indecisive and benevolent, and he will never learn Gu Zheng's ruthlessness, so he is a failed monarch.

He and Gu Zheng shouldn't have crossed paths at all, let alone absurdly fall in love with Gu Zheng at a certain moment!

Gu Zheng's eyes turned cold, seeing that the relationship between the two of them was about to deteriorate, becoming worse than before. Even though Gu Zheng didn't want to admit it anymore, there was still a trace of remorse in his heart.

Regret what, he did not know.

It was too late to say anything at this time, even if Gu Zheng wanted to explain again, but facing Yi Ci's indifference that did not give him any face, Gu Zheng suppressed the remorse in his heart.His self-esteem did not allow him to say soft words.

Gu Zheng shook his sleeves and left.

The door curtain was lifted violently, and the outside wind poured in, blowing the door curtain and rattling.

Yi Ci embraced her arms, only feeling the cold wind pouring into her back from her exposed neck.He is cold.

Gu Zheng left Yi Ci's tent.The army was stationed on a plain, where lush weeds grew, and a river was rushing not far away, and the cold wind blew unscrupulously from the river bank, blowing Gu Zheng's black robe as cold as night.

Gu Zheng's anger still persisted, the cold night wind took away part of his body temperature, but could not take away the restlessness in his heart.

He didn't understand why he had been so accommodating to Yi Ci, but still couldn't break Yi Ci's heart.Even because of the dispute tonight, Yi Ci became even more distant than before.

He could easily see through the minds of many people, but he couldn't see through Yi Ci's thoughts.Emotions blinded his eyes, maybe he already knew why, but subconsciously avoided the answer, unwilling to admit it.

The answer was too desperate, so desperate that even a conceited person like Gu Zheng thought it was impossible.

It was he who personally destroyed Yi Ci's country and forced Yi Ci to become his concubine, how could Yi Ci love him.

"I hate you...I don't want to see you at all..."

The words Yi Ci said in the tent were like fine needles and sharp daggers, piercing Gu Zheng's heart decisively, making Gu Zheng feel a kind of belated pain.Being beaten and scolded, humiliated, feared, and reviled by others, none of these can make Gu Zheng's cold heart turbulent, but Yi Ci's words of alienation and disgust can easily break through Gu Zheng's defenses, deeply pierced.

The night passed, and the army moved on.

From south to west, the marching speed of the army was significantly accelerated.

The southwest area has fallen into chaos because of the rebels.Prior to this, Gu Zheng had already arranged for General Qian Zhao to lead troops to suppress it.Qian Zhao was a general who followed Gu Zheng in the South and North Wars in the past. Gu Zheng handed over this matter to Qian Zhao, which shows Gu Zheng's trust in Qian Zhao.

However, [-] troops rushed to the southwest, and the rebellion has not subsided for two full months.

Gu Zheng's parade came precisely for this purpose.

Gu Zheng was no stranger to the battle after not being on the battlefield for a year.Conquest and killing have been engraved into his bones, and his blood has also awakened and boiled as he gradually approached the battlefield.

Yi Ci could clearly sense the changes in Gu Zheng. The closer he got to the battlefield, the more fierce Gu Zheng's inner core was exposed.

Like a dusty murderous sword, trembling and buzzing constantly!

Two days later, Gu Zheng's army arrived in Huishan City.

Qian Zhao's army was stationed in this city, and Qian Zhao was currently suppressing the rebel army in the area of ​​Xixiaguan, leaving only a team of troops to guard Huishan City to prevent the rebel army from coming to attack.

When Gu Zheng's army arrived at the city, an outpost had already found out the route of Gu Zheng's army, and knew that the army would come to Huishan City, because the people guarding Huishan City immediately opened the city gate after seeing Gu Zheng's banner.

"My subordinates welcome His Majesty Qin Huang!"

The general guarding the city led the crowd out of the city to greet him, and knelt down in front of Qin Huang.

They had all heard of Gu Zheng's vicious reputation on the battlefield. These soldiers who fought on the battlefield felt tremendous pressure when they saw what happened to Gu Zheng, and they dared not look up.

Gu Zheng was riding on horseback, facing the sunlight, he lowered his brows and eyes, and a stern aura emanated from his black figure.Gu Zheng glanced over the crowd, said "Yes", and kicked the horse's belly into the city.

Behind Gu Zheng, a carriage slowly drove in.

The carriage is carved with a phoenix, and the cranes surround the feet, so you can tell who is sitting in it at a glance.

Several soldiers lowered their heads and exchanged glances in an extremely discreet manner, and they all saw inconceivable expressions in each other's eyes.

Emperor Qin Huang's personal expedition brought a delicate beauty with him along the way!

After Gu Zheng entered Huishan City, he took General Qin Yitian and Xiangguo "Yu Changshou" to discuss matters with Qian Zhao's subordinates.But Yi Ci wanted to take the opportunity to see what the inside of Huishan City looked like during the war, so he put on a gauze hat and took Qiu Liang out of the mansion.

Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the door did not stop him when he went out.

Huishan City, which is in a war-torn zone, is still different from ordinary cities.After the war broke out, some big businessmen fled if they could, leaving only some residents whose homes could not escape in the city, looking very deserted and desolate.

In addition, there are the expressions of the people in the city.

These people all had nervous expressions on their faces.The retreating merchants and the rebel army that has not been wiped out for a long time made them panic.Until today, when Emperor Qin's army entered the city, these people finally relaxed a bit.

They believe that the place where the emperor is is the safest place.

Yi Ci took Qiu Liang through the cold streets, and the people along the way always stared at Yi Ci with a gauze hat on his head with a kind of probing eyes.Along the way, Qiu Liang, who was always chattering and full of energy, seemed extraordinarily silent.

"Qiu Liang?" Yi Ci paused.

Qiu Liang followed and stopped, and he raised his head, trying to show Yi Ci a normal smile, but smiled very reluctantly.

"Yi Ci, I'm thinking of Zheng Guo. Before Zheng Guo destroyed the country, the city was like this..."

Before Qin's army attacked, all the merchants who had heard the news fled Zheng State quickly, and even the capital of Zheng State became deserted and desolate, as if it was a harbinger of the end of this precarious Zheng State.

Yi Ci was taken aback when he heard this.

He looked at these silent people, and the panic of Zhanluan was deeply embedded in their eyes.

"Mother, I'm afraid." A crisp child's voice interrupted Yi Ci's thoughts.

Yi Ci looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a boy with braids holding his mother's skirt.These are the common people who were attracted by Gu Zheng's army and came out to inquire about each other's news.

The child's mother looked worried, and touched the top of the child's head: "Good boy, don't be afraid, go and listen to Mr. Rushu's storytelling with other children."

"Tell a story?" The child's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

The child happily jumped away.

Yi Ci hesitated for a while and followed.

More than a dozen children gathered together in a tea shed, surrounded by an old storyteller.Mr. Storyteller used to tell stories in teahouses to earn money for food and drink. After the war, the merchants withdrew, and the people who stayed in the city didn't want to listen to books, so it was convenient for these children.

Whenever the storyteller appeared in the teahouse, these children ran over and listened carefully to the storyteller.

This time the story will be the story of the first generation of the king of Qin.

Under the eyes of Qin Jun, the ancestors of Qin State have been beautified as wise and brave characters.

When the children heard this, they broke down the stage one after another.

"Hey, why is this again?"

"Didn't you just talk about this the day before yesterday?"

"Change it, change it."

The old storyteller had a hard time.I have told all the stories that should be told in the past two months, and I don't know what to tell.

Yi Ci's heart moved, and he lifted his hand up.

Qiu Liang noticed Yi Ci's movements, "What's wrong? Want to tickle?"

Yi Ci: "...No."

As early as before, Yici had the idea of ​​creating a book of words to teach children to read.He has not forgotten this idea, and has been silently preparing for it ever since he thought of it.It was not until a few days ago that this short introductory book on literacy was finally completed.

In order to avoid complications, Yi Ci originally did not intend to take out the script.But after thinking about it, Gu Zheng didn't care about the scripts, and he didn't know which scripts were widely circulated in the market.Even if Gu Zheng later found out that he originally wrote the words, Gu Zheng could not have guessed that the words were originally composed by him.

After making sure that it was not too risky to do so, Yi Ci stepped forward.

Wearing a gauze hat, he immediately attracted the attention of the old storyteller and the children.

"Wow, are you a fairy?"

"Yes, I heard that immortals always like to wear white clothes!"

"Wow, fairy fairy, please help us, we don't want to fight!"

Yi Ci sighed, he didn't want the war to displace these innocent people, or even cause casualties, but he is not a fairy, and there are actually very few things he can do.

Because this booklet was afraid of being discovered, Yi Ci always carried it with him.He took out the storybook from his pocket and handed it to the bewildered storyteller.

"This is the storybook brought from Qindu. Let's tell the children the above story."

The old storyteller opened the storybook, his eyes slowly moistened.

The story book briefly summarizes the origin of each word, and arranges common or similar words together to facilitate learning and teaching.

The old storyteller immediately discovered the preciousness of this storybook.The storyteller, who originally just told people to pass the boring time with stories, seemed to have taken over a heavy burden, and a rush of blood spontaneously arose from his chest.

He is not a useless person, he now has a more important responsibility than storytelling, and that is to teach these children to learn words!

Yi Ci took Qiu Liang away, but he didn't know that he saw all this in his eyes.

His figure was hidden behind a tree, revealing a corner of his serious black clothes.After Yi Ci left, Gu Zheng walked out from behind the tree.He looked at the storyteller who was serious about imparting knowledge and the young children who were serious about studying in the tea shed, and his cold heart was torn open.

He seemed to understand Yi Ci's feelings.

and……

A gleam of joy flashed across Gu Zheng's deep eyes.He finally knew that Yi Ci didn't have him in his heart.He once told Yici the reason why he couldn't write. Yici must have recorded his words in his heart, so he would be so concerned about these children who can't learn to write.

Gu Zheng, who knew the secret, was deeply grateful for his decision to come out to find him when he heard the news that Yi Ci had left the mansion.

The author has something to say: Gu Zheng, the self-strategy...
