Xiao Mingze never expected to see his uncle after so many years. He hosted a banquet in the palace for Xiao Lie, and the two had a lot to talk about when they met again.

Xiao Mingze had already forgotten his agreement with Qin Jue, but Qin Jue thought that something happened to Xiao Mingze on the way here, so he quickly sent someone to look for Xiao Mingze.But all the way to the capital of Qin State, Qin Jue didn't hear any news about Xiao Mingze.

After many inquiries, Qin Jue finally found out... Xiao Mingze is entertaining others in the palace, and today is really not free.Qin Jue felt that he was very ridiculous now, he was just worrying for nothing.

***

At the moment when the banquet was in full swing, Xiao Mingze shunned all the palace people away. He hadn't seen his relatives for a long time.His father died early, it can be said that he was brought up by his uncle, Xiao Lie loves fine wine the most, but after the disaster of the Xiao clan, he led the surviving clansmen to retreat to the northern border, and he has never tasted it since then The taste of fine wine was gone, and Xiao Mingze still thought that he likes to drink, so he opened up all the fine wines in the palace.

Xiao Lie talked about the years he spent in Northern Xinjiang, and he felt very emotional: "Ze'er, it's useless to be an uncle, he can't avenge Xiao."

After Xiao Mingze heard him suddenly say such sad words, he suddenly persuaded him: "Why did uncle say such things? I am also a descendant of the Xiao family, and I have avenged it. Isn't this revenge the same as Xiao's avenge? Now The family feud has been avenged, and the matter is a foregone conclusion, uncle don't care about the past anymore."

After Xiao Lie was sad, he asked Xiao Mingze about the Qin Kingdom: "But you really surprised me when you became the emperor."

Xiao Mingze heard what he meant: "Is uncle blaming me for taking the Murong family's power?"

"You let the Murong family wash away the notoriety of our Xiao family's traitors. The Murong family gave you the Zen seat. Uncle certainly didn't mean that."

After Xiao Mingze heard his words, he was slightly stunned. He smiled and continued: "I didn't expect my uncle to know so much about the Central Plains in Northern Xinjiang. This also surprised me."

Xiao Mingze has grown up so much, after all, he is different from when he was young, Xiao Lie can already see this point alone: ​​"Ze'er, don't worry too much, our tribe was chased to the northern border by the pursuers, If I don't pay more attention when I go back to the Central Plains, how will I know that what I'm facing is not the iron cavalry of Yan Kingdom?"

"Uncle..." Xiao Mingze paused again, he looked up at Xiao Lie, "I didn't care too much, uncle must have come all the way here, he must be tired too, the former Xiao's old mansion, I have ordered someone to repair it , if uncle doesn’t dislike it, let’s live there first.”

When Xiao Lie heard him say this, he laughed: "Now that I have returned to my homeland, I have nothing else to ask for, so what Your Majesty says will be what it is."

Since Xiao Mingze was a little unsteady when he left, he quickly ordered the guards around him to escort him back.

***

Xiao Mingze was very happy to reunite with his only relative in this world after a long absence, and he drank a few more glasses of wine while he was happy.It's just that when he was drunk, he suddenly tilted his head and thought: I seem to have forgotten something, I seem to have promised someone today, what am I going to do?

what's going on?

Xiao Mingze didn't think about it. In the end, he fell into a deep sleep. He didn't realize it until the next morning when he woke up... It turned out that he had agreed to meet Qin Jue, but this time he missed the appointment.

Xiao Mingze was afraid that Qin Jue would be angry with him because of this, so he wrote a letter himself and sent it to Chu State early the next morning. In that letter, he detailed everything he had met Xiao Lie yesterday.He knew that Qin Jue was a caring person, so he was always cautious.

Qin Jue's paranoia is because he is in a high position and has to pay attention to everything around him.Xiao Mingze couldn't bear to see him like this every day, he felt that he was getting tired of being an emperor, and he had to find an excuse to get out.But what about Qin Jue...

Xiao Mingze never dared to ask him what to do, because the goal in Qin Jue's mind had not been achieved yet.So Xiao Mingze has been waiting, he will wait until the day when Qin Jue succeeds, and then ask him if he is willing not to be the emperor...

Xiao Mingze had been waiting for Qin Jue's reply after he asked the pigeon to deliver the letter, but half a month later, Qin Jue still had nothing to bring him.Half a month later, he went to the place agreed with Qin Jue on time this time.

He prepared for the worst, and his heart was full of what he said to Qin Jue. He was afraid that Qin Jue would be angry with him last time, so he didn't come this time.

He was full of thoughts along the way, and several hours became long.In fact... For the past half month, he has been thinking about this matter, and he has trouble sleeping and eating day and night before Qin Jue can say a word.

But when he arrived at the place agreed with Qin Jue, he still saw Qin Jue waiting for him there. For some reason, Qin Jue always arrived before him.

Xiao Mingze stepped forward to hug him, and then explained to him what happened half a month ago.Qin Jue suddenly smiled after hearing his explanation: "I knew that you didn't break the appointment on purpose, and I didn't wait long that day, so you don't have to blame yourself."

Xiao Mingze breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what he said. In fact, these days, he was thinking about other things besides this matter. At this moment, he looked into Qin Jue's eyes and said, "Ah Jue, so many years have passed , is it time to do something? My Qin country has stabilized, and the soldiers have surrendered to me. I can help you conquer the world."

Qin Jue frowned suddenly after hearing what he said, and he turned around: "I don't think this matter should be rushed."

After Xiao Mingze got this answer, he suddenly felt a little lonely in his heart. At this moment, he turned around and looked at Qin Jue again: "But you said the same thing a few years ago! Why don't you agree now? Have you...forgot to grow old with me? I don’t want to... I don’t want to wait any longer. If you say yes, I will lay down this world and give it to you. If you are not willing, I will give this throne to others. Just ask able to stay by your side."

After hearing his words, Qin Jue frowned even deeper, and he sighed helplessly: "No...it's not what you think, I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten. Need to think long term..."

"But it's been discussed for so many years, can it be done now? It's just a few countries around with no military strength. Is it that difficult to fight?"

After Qin Jue heard what he said, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on his face: "Do you think that fighting is just like the military book you draw on paper? If you don't pay attention, thousands of soldiers will die on the battlefield Now, they still have their families behind them, so how will you settle down? So I don’t want to fight... Those who can surrender will try their best, and those who cannot surrender will fight again.”

Xiao Mingze's eyes widened when he heard his words, and he took a few steps back in disbelief.

If so, when will it be discussed?

"Ah Jue... I know you are soft-hearted, but..."

It's just that I can't take it anymore.

Xiao Mingze was afraid that on the throne, sooner or later, those hidden plots and ambitions would completely swallow him up.

Before he could speak, Qin Jue suddenly leaned forward and gently kissed his lips, Xiao Mingze froze.

After a moment of tenderness, Qin Jue blushed and looked at Xiao Mingze: "Give me another half a year, and I will definitely be able to... After I succeed, I will make an appointment with you."

After Xiao Mingze heard his words, he seemed to have a bottom line in his heart. He looked at Qin Jue and said with a smile: "Then you make an agreement with me...I'll wait for you for half a year, and I will always wait for you."

Qin Jue responded to him with a smile: "Well, I know."

***

For the remaining half a year, Xiao Mingze only knew that Qin Jue had a capable national teacher by his side. This national teacher lobbied the surrounding countries for half a year, and of course he also proposed many generous conditions.Those pot masters knew that now that Qin and Chu are in power, they will lose themselves one day if they are in it. It is better to follow Chu like this, and there will always be a place to live.

All countries around Chu State have basically surrendered to Qin Jue.Qin Jue loves the people like his own children, and cannot bear to cause more killings in the world.He has always been cruel to those who are cruel, and he will never let those treacherous people like tigers and wolves go.If this emperor can be done well, then he must be a wise emperor who will last forever.

On one side is the world that he has deliberately planned to win, and on the other side is Xiao Mingze's most important person in his life.

Standing on the high city wall and looking at the rolling hills in the distance, Qin Jue suddenly felt a little dazed. He didn't know how to make a choice at this moment.

Perhaps what he wants most in this life is power, and what he cherishes most in his life may be his own life, but now he still has a person he loves the most in this world.

Do you want to give up the country and go with that person?

In fact, as early as when the countries surrendered, he knew that there would be such a day sooner or later, but he was unwilling to face it.

The news that Chu State sent people to lobby the neighboring small countries soon spread to Qin State.Xiao Mingze never cared what Qin Jue would do, but the courtiers and generals around him cared about it.

Xiao Mingze was almost buried by the memorials they played, and the content of the memorials they played every day must be about the state of Chu.Everyone said that the state of Chu had bad intentions, and the state of Chu sent people to lobby the countries to unify the world. If other countries belonged to the state of Chu, then sooner or later, the state of Qin would fall into the hands of the state of Chu.

Those courtiers always played against Xiao Mingze, asking him to take early measures against Chu.

But Xiao Mingze didn't have the heart to deal with Chu State at all. Maybe he never thought of this from the moment he seized the Murong family. He never wanted to be an enemy of Qin Jue.

Because he has done all the things he wants to do most in his life, and what he wants most now is to stay with the person he loves the most.

It's just his only wish left, and the only wish.
