Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a long time, Lin Ju said: "Zai Zai... Zai Zai, don't be sad about that."

Ah Zheng didn't speak, and waited until the suet in his hand was almost dry, then picked up the Qin crossbow in the box and slowly assembled it.

Lin Ju poked her Zai Zai's skinny face: "Zai Zai, please take care of me, don't keep talking."

Ah Zheng forced a smile on his face: "But, Ah Ju, I'm really not sad. I'm just... I'm just a little disappointed."

"...Huh? Oh."

"Ah Ju, I knew what kind of person my father was from the day he left. He left A Niang and me and left Zhao Guo and returned to Qin State alone. He had another wife and children in Qin State. I Not sad at all. I'm just worried that Mommy might be sad."

"Oh." Lin Ju gently rubbed Zai Zai's head.

"My father is actually not a very bad person. He is just... just a coward, a coward. When I was young, he liked to hold me in his arms. When A Niang was dancing in the hall, he hugged me. Watching me fencing and singing to accompany A Niang."

"Cub..."

"Aju, I'm not sad, I'm just a little disappointed. I suddenly don't want to go back to Qin." His father didn't take their mother and son seriously. After returning to Qin, he still married a wife and had children. What can he do when he returns to Qin? What about?But Zhao Guo couldn't tolerate their mother and son, so he could only return to Qin State.

"Cub, open your mouth."

Ah Zheng opened his mouth, a round object was stuffed into his mouth, he chewed it, it was sweet.

"Generally, the new bear fruit juice in the mall, do you think it is delicious? Don't be unhappy, eat something sweet and have fun."

"Well, it's very sweet, thank you, Ah Ju." Ah Zheng assembled the Qin crossbow, ran out of the house, aimed at the tree in the yard, and shot the arrow carefully.

The first arrow grazed the tree trunk and landed on the ground.

The second arrow was so weak that it didn't even touch the tree.

The third arrow slid over the top of the tree, crumbling among the dry branches.

Lin Ju glanced at the remaining gummy bears, and when Ah Zheng shot an arrow, she stuffed one into Zai Zai's mouth, and the pack of candies was quickly eaten up.

Ah Zheng ran to the bottom of the tree to retrieve the arrows he had shot. Lin Ju took a look, Zai Zai shot ten arrows, only one arrow passed the tree trunk, and the rest fell under the tree because of too little strength. None of them hit the target, so it can be said that all arrows were shot in vain.

Ah Zheng quietly lowered his head to pick up the arrow.

"puff."

Ah Zheng packed up the fallen arrows.

"Pfft."

Ah Zheng returned to the room, his ears turned red: "Ah Ju, you can laugh louder."

"Pfftchhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

Ah Zheng: ...don't go too far.

In the blink of an eye, after noon, Ah Zheng changed into the heavy clothes he had worn in the morning, and followed A Niang into Zhao Palace for a banquet.

Zhao Wang is a small-bellied person who likes to care about every detail, otherwise he would not do such a thing that is despised by the nobles.Of course, now that Gongzi Yiren has not died but has become the prince of Qin, Zhao Ji is naturally not a widow, and Ying Zheng is naturally not an orphan.However, King Zhao had nothing to say to a woman and an eight-year-old child.

He only asked people to be seated for a banquet, singing and dancing, while he himself looked at the young man sitting at the bottom: "Since your country has found your wife and son, when will you leave for your country?"

The young man smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. From Handan to Xianyang, there are high mountains and far rivers along the way. The ground is freezing and the weather is cold. We still need to prepare supplies for returning home. I'm afraid there will be some delay."

"Delay?!" Zhao Wang vigorously slapped the table to show his anger, and his master Zuo hurriedly raised his eyebrows at him. Husband and wife are separated, father and son are separated, how can we not reunite as soon as possible? The young master has been in the Zhao country for many years, and the widow has nothing to say. Now that the young master returns to the country, the widow will definitely send a big gift to see the young master off."

The young man smiled, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "So, thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Wang snorted angrily, wanting to smash the wine glass into the young man's face.

Ah Zheng also followed the etiquette and thanked him for attending.

Everyone enjoyed the feast and watched the singing and dancing, and the banquet soon broke up.

On the way back to the post station after leaving the Zhao Palace, Zhao Ji took a car alone, and Ah Zheng and the young man took a car.

In the car, Ah Zheng asked the young man, "Why did King Zhao give us something?"

The young man chuckled and looked at Ah Zheng: "It's probably because General Meng Ao is currently serving the border between Qin and Zhao."

Ah Zheng was so surprised that he opened his mouth slightly: "Will Qin and Zhao continue to fight?"

The young man said: "Not only Zhao, but also Yan, Wei, Chu... This battle will continue."

Ah Zheng glanced at the young man and asked, "When will the war end?"

The young man looked at the child in front of him. There was no fear or excitement in the child's eyes, only a hopeless calm. The young man replied, "Wait until a ruler who can unify the whole world appears on this land."

Ah Zheng thought for a while and asked, "Like Shang Tang and Zhou Wu?" Shang Tang destroyed Xia, and King Wu defeated Zhou. They all unified the world.

"No, he needs to be stronger, more ambitious, and more courageous than them." The young man looked at Ah Zheng.Among the six countries, only the Qin State reformed its laws and strived to become stronger. The future overlord must be the king of the Qin State, so he traveled thousands of miles to come to the Qin State to show his ambition.

The carriage stopped slowly, Ah Zheng jumped out of the car, and turned to look at the young man: "By the way, I only heard that others called you Li Lang, but I don't know your name yet. What's your name?"

The young man smiled and said, "Young master, my servant Li Si."

As Ah Zheng approached the courtyard, he saw a maidservant standing in front of the courtyard and told him: "My lord, you have a guest, sister Ah Yan has already invited him to the reception hall."

Ah Zheng thought about it seriously, the sister Ah Yan that the maid was talking about should be the maid who wiped his hands this morning.He asked, "Which guest is it?"

The maidservant replied: "If you answer the son, it is Yan Guo Gongzi Dan."

Dan, son of Yan State, is five years older than Ah Zheng. Like Ah Zheng's father, he is the hostage sent by Yan State to Zhao State.When he was in the Proton Mansion, Yan Dan helped Ah Zheng drive away those Zhao clan children who bullied him, and Ah Zheng had a good relationship with him.

Ah Zheng looked at the young man sitting in front of him, and asked him directly: "Yan Dan, what do you want me to do?"

The young Yan Dan smiled and squeezed Ah Zheng's little face: "Brother Ah Zheng, you are still as unlovable as you were when you were a child." He took out a gilt cuju ball hollowed out of red sandalwood and handed it to Ah Zheng, " Congratulations, you are going back to Qin, this is my farewell gift to you, and I will not come to see you off on the day you leave."

Ah Zheng took the cuju ball with a look of disgust: "I'm not a child, who likes to play with this."

Yan Dan reached out and rubbed Ah Zheng's hair: "I'm sorry, brother Yan Dan hasn't been of much help to you all these years in flight. When you return to Qin, you can write to me if you encounter difficulties, although I... I might not be able to help either."

"Why... why are you saying this all of a sudden?" Ah Zheng was a little embarrassed.Zhao Wang wants to hunt down their mother and son, what can Yan Dan, a Yan country's proton, do?

Yan Dan bent down and hugged Ah Zheng gently: "A Zheng, congratulations on your return to China, I hope I can return to Yan State soon."

"Well, you must be able to return home."

"I hope so." Yan Dan sighed and walked out.

Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom came and went in a hurry, as if he was just to deliver the ball to Ah Zheng.Ah Zheng was holding the Cuju ball and sat in a daze.

He suddenly said: "Ah Ju."

"Ok?"

"I suddenly found that I still have some happy things in Zhao Guo."

"Oh? For example?"

"When we were young, the Zhao clan's descendants excluded us. Yandan would take me to play Cuju with the common people. After kicking Cuju, we went to eat. The roasted lamb marrow naan sold in the wine shop in the north of the city is the best. A shop will use flowers to make snacks, there will be many businessmen from all over the west of the city, and we can see camels. I suddenly discovered that I still have so many happy things in Zhao Guo.”

Ah Zheng twirled the small ball in his hand, and sighed like an adult: "I really want to leave Zhao State and return to Qin State. pith cake."

Lin Ju started rubbing Zai Zai's head as usual.It's just that she really wants to complain, cub, you are only eight years old now, how old were you when you were a child?

Forget it, it's rare for Zai Zai to pretend to be deep, so don't disappoint him.

Three days later in the early morning, the air was still filled with mist, and the team finally set off. Zhao Wang specially sent envoys to escort them back to Qin, and his intention to send them out of Zhao as soon as possible was clearly revealed.

When the convoy drove out of the gate of Handan, Ah Zheng discovered that there was a 200-man Qin cavalry stationed outside the city.

Lin Ju: "...boy, I suddenly found out that it's a miracle that King Zhao didn't beat you to death. The Qin State is too arrogant." Although there are only 200 people, they are iron cavalry, the elite of the Qin army. Two hundred soldiers from the enemy country are stationed outside the capital city. Can King Zhao really sleep well at night?

Ah Zheng was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was strange. After all, Qin State couldn't just send Li Si, a small official, to pick up people. He had to have something in his hand.

Riding on the horse, Li Si bowed his hands to the middle-aged general at the front of the cavalry: "General Meng, let's go."

As soon as the general in iron armor raised his hand, the soldiers behind him got on their horses and blew their horns. The 200 people were uniform and ready to go.

He only heard his order, and the 200 people automatically divided into four teams, guarding the front, back, left, and right sides of the convoy like armor: "Let's go—"

The convoy began to move forward slowly, and the carriage slowly began to shake. Ah Zheng sat in the car with nothing to do, and could only chat with Ah Ju.

"Boy, the general who opened the way ahead is also surnamed Meng. Do you think he has any relationship with the general Meng Ao who Li Si mentioned earlier at the frontier of Chen Bing?"

Ah Zheng looked at the tall general in front of him: "Maybe they are related? I don't know much about Qin's generals. I only know that there is a very famous general, Wang Ji."

"Then is there any story about this General Wang Ji?"

"General Wang Ji is the general of Qin during the Battle of Changping and the siege of Handan. After General Wang Ji besieged Handan, King Zhao became angry and wanted to arrest my father and threaten General Wang Ji, but General Wang Ji ignored him at all. .Then my father sneaked back to General Wang Ji's camp. Zhao Wang had no choice but to arrest me and A Niang."

Lin Ju: "..."

Lin Ju: "Cub, you really hold a grudge."
