single husband's heart

In the summer of [-] BC, Qin State, Xianyang.

Gongsun Jigong's clinic is closed today.

"Really, something happened to come to affect my business." Gongsun Jigong closed the door mutteringly, and entered the dark room with a lamp.

The dark room was set up under Gongsun Jigong's bedroom, and it was only one foot square in size. After setting up a table and a few cushions, there was no gap left.There is a rusty iron door on the north side of the dark room, which is only wide enough for one person to pass through, and it is not known where it leads.A lamp is embedded in the rough wall.Perhaps it has not been used for many years, the wall of the lamp was covered with dust before it was hastily cleaned, and now it is flickering on and off.There were three people sitting beside the table, one of them was Xia Wuqi in casual clothes, there was also a handsome man in black, and a young boy.

Gongsun Jigong covered the wooden planks and climbed down the rope ladder with one hand and the lamp.He sat down on the vacant seat and blew out the lamp he brought. For a while, the room was much darker.

"Save some gas." He said with a grin to the three present.

The man in black frowned and looked at him dissatisfied, as if he couldn't get used to Gongsun Jigong's lack of appearance, he said coldly: "The salary that Prince Dan gives to his subordinates should not even be able to afford the lamp oil money."

"The prince is not bad to us." Gongsun Jigong rolled his eyes. "It's just that our salary is the prince's personal savings, and he himself is getting more and more difficult now. As loyal and good subordinates, Wu and I both volunteer to take half of the salary to share the prince's worries."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Jigong glanced at the man in black seemingly unintentionally: "Those who only know how to enjoy themselves and don't want to share the prince's worries, how can they know our willingness?"

"You..." The man in black suddenly darkened his face.

"Okay, we still have business to discuss." Seeing this, Xia Wuqiu hurriedly smoothed things over. "You are Jing Qing? I have heard about your name for a long time, and it is a great honor to meet you today."

"Mr. Xia, Ke also heard Prince Pill mentioning you." Jing Ke calmed down, and exchanged pleasantries with Xia Wuqie indifferently but still politely. "Tutored by a famous doctor, with excellent medical skills, he has been hiding in the Qin Palace for ten years but he is safe and sound, and he is the best friend of Prince Dan. I have admired him for a long time."

After exchanging pleasantries between the two, Xia Wuqiu looked at the boy beside him: "This is..."

"This is my assistant on this trip, Qin Wuyang." Jing Ke introduced.

"Could it be Qin Wuyang who can kill people at the age of thirteen?" Xia Wuqiu and Gongsun Jigong were taken aback, and couldn't help but carefully look at the young man in front of him.I saw that he was only about 15 years old, with healthy and even wheat-colored skin, and his facial features were correct and delicate, and his slightly shy complexion could be vaguely seen in the dim light.He was dressed in a brown bunt, and his stature was not burly, but everyone could see the smooth muscle lines under the thin fabric, and he seemed to be a man with kung fu.

Seeing that everyone was watching him, Qin Wuyang clasped his fists and said, "I have seen you all." His voice was a little tense, as if he was uncomfortable facing strangers.

Xia Wuqiu and Gongsun Jigong exchanged glances quietly, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes - can this shy boy take on this important task?

"Since I brought him here, I will take care of him." Jing Ke saw the two people's thoughts and solemnly promised.Just hearing this sentence, Xia Wuqi and Gongsun Jigong became more worried.

"Did the prince ask him to come?" Gongsun Jigong spoke quickly, and Xia Wuqiu asked directly before he could stop him.Then hurriedly turned his head to look at Qin Wuyang, and he lowered his head slightly with a pale face.

"Prince Dan insisted on letting him come." Jing Ke nodded. "I planned to wait for a good friend to come and complete the big project together, but I didn't expect that the situation was urgent, and Prince Dan couldn't wait any longer. So, the prince proposed to let Qin Wuyang come together instead."

Xia Wuqi frowned slightly, always felt that such a decision was too hasty, and it was not like Prince Dan's style.Could it be that he was really forced by the situation and had to make such a bad move?

Xia Wuju chewed Jing Ke's words over and over again, a bad premonition slowly formed in his heart, which made him break out in a cold sweat instantly.

Could it be that Prince Dan actually intends to...?

"——Please do your best to help each other." Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang prostrated themselves on the ground.

"How do you say that?" Xia Wuqiu suddenly woke up from his own world, and hurried to help the two of them. "We are all doing things for Prince Pill. How can we not do our best for the reward of cannibalism?"

Jing Ke and the two sat upright again, drank some water, and said again: "The two of us have been ordered to assassinate King Qin this time, and we have already planned it."

With that said, Jing Ke took out a box and a scroll from his backpack.

"This is..." Xia Wuju looked at Jing Ke and asked silently.

"The head of General Fan Yuqi, and the map of Du Kang of Yan State."

"What!?" Xia Wuqiu and Gongsun Jigong exclaimed.General Fan Yuqi went through untold hardships before he fled from Qin State to Yan State. Crown Prince Dan tried his best to keep him. It has been many years without incident, how could it suddenly...

The inconspicuous red lacquer box on the table was suddenly extremely eye-catching, Xia Wuqi closed his eyes forcefully, and turned his head to the side.

Gongsun Jigong pursed his lips and said nothing, but his knuckles turned white revealed his resentment.

"This is also the prince's idea!?" Gongsun Jigong suddenly stood up and shouted at Jing Ke.This time, Xia Wuqi didn't have any intention to stop it.

"Mr. Gongsun is too restless." Jing Ke sat quietly in the same place, his eyes were calm.

Jing Ke looked normal, but Gongsun Jigong seemed to punch Jing Ke in the face, his face was flushed red, and he was panting heavily.Xia Wuju tugged at the hem of his clothes, signaling him to listen to Jing Ke first.

"Jing Qing, I am also eager to hear an explanation." Xia Wuqie said. "After all, General Fan is an elder whom we all respect very much. Regarding his death, I want to know the reason."

"It was I who proposed to the prince to use General Fan's head and Dukang's map as a stepping stone to come to see the King of Qin."

"You!" Gongsun Jigong jumped up again.

"The prince agrees too?" Xia Wuqie asked with a frown.

"Not really." Jing Ke said.

"That's why you killed General Fan!" Gongsun Jigong, whose green stem was exposed on his forehead, shouted loudly and punched Jing Ke.

"Brother!" Unexpectedly, Gongsun Jigong moved so fast, Xia Wuqie could only shout weakly.

Gongsun Jigong is not a warrior after all, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang are faster than him.Xia Wuqiu only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and when he took a closer look, he saw that Jing Ke was standing under the lamp unscathed and calm, about an arm's length away from his seat.In front of him, Qin Wuyang was blocking the aggressive Gongsun Jigong.

"Get out of the way!" Gongsun Jigong pushed Qin Wuyang.

Qin Wuyang was silent. Although he hesitated, he didn't move away.He was half a head shorter than Gongsun Jigong, but Gongsun Jigong had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Gongsun, can I finish my sentence?" Jing Ke, who was as calm as he was, was also a little out of breath at this time. "I didn't wave my sword at General Fan, I just found General Fan privately and made sense to him. General Fan also agreed with my idea and volunteered to sacrifice his head, so he swung his sword and killed himself."

"Senior brother!" Xia Wuqiu also stood up to fight. "In any case, Jing Qing is our colleague, so why would we start fighting among ourselves before we finish our mission?"

After hearing Jing Ke's explanation, he felt that Xia Wu's words were reasonable, so Gongsun Jigong withdrew his hands angrily and said, "According to what you said, you are a hero who cares about the overall situation?"

"Don't dare to take it." Jing Ke pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his words. "If I can, of course I don't want to sacrifice anyone. I just want to accomplish great things, how can I do it without sacrifice? I admire General Fan very much. If I are asked to shed my blood for Prince Dan, I will do it!"

Gongsun Jigong squinted his eyes to look at him again, and finally sat down silently, leaving a back view for the other three.

"We underestimated you, I'm sorry." Xia Wuqian looked at Jing Ke's gaze with admiration. "I didn't expect you to be such a person who understands righteousness."

"It's just that if you want to meet King Qin, these two things may not be enough." Xia Wuqi pondered.

"I also heard that the current King of Qin is cautious, and the defense of King Qin's Palace can be described as impeccable, so these two items have been prepared. According to your Excellency, are these not enough to impress King Qin?"

"King Qin may welcome you, but he won't let you get close."

Xia Wuqi analyzed. "The head of the traitor general, Du Kang's map, these are certainly what the King of Qin wants, but they are not enough to make him happy enough to allow others to get close. Only if he trusts you enough to let go of his vigilance, can you succeed."

"Your Excellency must have a plan."

"I just have an idea." Xia Wuqi smiled. "Meng Jia, the concubine next to King Qin, may be a breakthrough."

On this day, when Xia Wuqie hurried back to the gate of the palace, it was approaching dusk again.The guards at the gate of the palace smiled at him and said, "Medical Officer Xia must have a good relationship with his senior brother, and every time he sleeps and takes a bath, he will chat until the sun goes down before returning to the palace."

"I'm really sorry, I had a good chat with senior brother, and I almost forgot the closing time." Xia Wuqiu bowed to the guards, and took out a snack box from his bag. "This is the food brought back by the senior brother from his hometown. The elder brothers don't dislike it, so just accept it. It's good to fill your stomach a little bit when you're hungry late at night."

The head guard waved his hand and said: "That's not dare, the discipline is stricter now, if the superiors know how many brothers are on duty at night and steal their mouths, we can't afford to walk around."

"Since that's the case, it's good to satisfy your gluttony in your spare time."

After several evasions, the chief guard finally accepted the box.As soon as he weighed it without any trace, he knew that the weight of the box was wrong, and it must not be just for food.

"Doctor Xia is too polite." The chief guard smiled so hard that his teeth showed. "Next time, you might as well chat with senior brother for a longer time, even after the time to release the key to the palace gate, if you say a word, brother, I will definitely get up and open the door for you!"

"If there is such a day, I will have to trouble the elder brother." Xia Wuqiu also smiled and cupped his hands.

See, even if it is possible to suffer the most severe punishment, so what, as long as there is a temptation in front of them, people will always hold a little luck, and rush forward to grab what they want.

It must be because Xia Wuqiu is on vacation today, the workload of other medical officers has increased, and they are also exhausted.After Xia Wuqiu returned to the building, the row of rooms was dark and silent.Only the stone lamppost beside the road emits a bean-sized light, echoing the silvery moon in the sky.

Xia Wuqi gently pushed open the door.In order not to disturb others, he did not intend to light the lamp.After putting down the package, he sat down by the desk and fumbled for water to quench his thirst, but because of his poor eyesight, he couldn't find the kettle after searching for a long time.

"Looking for this?" A familiar voice sounded softly in the darkness, and at the same time a clay pot was brought to hand.

Xia Wuju stood up abruptly in disbelief, almost overturning the table in his haste.

"Tsk, how old are you, why are you still so reckless?" The voice smiled lightly, although it was a reproach, its tone was full of ridicule.

The moonlight flowed quietly, and the man walked out from the corner.I haven't seen him for several years, but his figure is still bright and clear, and his eyes are still soft and quiet.

"Young Master..." Xia Wuqi whispered the title that would never change in his heart.
