Chapter 154 Liuhua
The Qin Palace is majestic and the Ji Palace is towering.
The pavilions rise from the ground, the corridors spiral down, and the crowds are noisy, and the end is unknown.
The soldiers are patrolling, and the tigers are at their service.
The vermilion door slowly opened, and the officials filed into the grand palace.
The King of Qin sat high on his throne. Under the jade platform, in front of a pool of clear water, his ministers were lined up.
The Qin Dynasty was characterized by water virtue, and the color of its uniforms was black. All its flags and clothing were all black.
The ministers were waiting for the young Lord Hanyang.
There were constant turmoil in Xianyang, and Marquis Wenxin and Lord Chang'an were in the same position. Everyone was faced with a choice, but Lord Hanyang firmly expressed his attitude between the two.
Five hundred armored soldiers guarded more than twenty carriages, carrying three thousand gold as a tribute to the King of Qin, as if mocking the two people who were now in high positions in the Qin State.
The young man was unruly, but when the ministers of the Qin State saw Zhao Shuang, they found that the young monarch was unexpectedly young, even younger than Chang'an Jun Chengyu, with a childish look on his face.
"Chen Shuang pays homage to the king!"
"Are you finally here?"
On the throne, King Qin smiled slightly, and there seemed to be something meaningful in his words.
"Although a person in a remote place has received great favor, he should be fearful in order to repay the favor of the king. However, the road is dangerous and difficult, and the delay in making the pilgrimage to the king is really the sin of the minister."
Zhao Shuang was just saying some polite words, but King Qin didn't care at all and waved his sleeves.
"In the past, Zhao Shuang, the general of the State of Zhao, once wrote an article on current policy. I have read it and my memory is still fresh. He said, 'The land serves Qin, just like putting out fire with firewood. If the firewood is not exhausted, the fire will never be extinguished.' What do you think?"
King Qin said this, and everyone in the court was shocked. All the ministers felt a little strange. Lu Buwei and Cheng Xi looked over and saw Zhao Shuang slightly holding his hand.
"What a foolish man's words are! How can Zhao generals be so cruel as pigs' heads and dogs' faces? They have the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a jackal. They tried to gain temporary strength and invaded the country. Even though they gained temporary strength, they died in the fields without any land. , only the world laughs."
On the throne, King Qin smiled more and more.
"So, how do you think we, the Qin Dynasty, can defeat the alliance?"
"Since the Emperor of Zhou lost power, the princes have risen up and competed with each other. As of today, it has been more than five hundred years, and the world has been united. It has been more than a hundred years since Lord Shang's reform, and the Qin sword came out from the east, and the princes were frightened."
Zhao Shuang smiled, waved his hand, his sleeves and robes fluttered, and his eyes wandered among the officials, from Cheng Xi to Lu Buwei, and finally looked at King Qin and lowered his head.
"Brothers are still worried about the enemy, not to mention the six countries and the six hearts. Before the unity is achieved, their power has been defeated. The six kings are stupid and barbaric, and they want to use the power of unity to resist the king's master. They are like fishing for fish in a tree, and the number of days is unknown."
"Our great Qin Dynasty has accumulated power for hundreds of years. It is time to attack Zhao and destroy Han. The troops will go out of the Central Plains and return to the six kingdoms to unite as one and become an emperor. The magic weapon is easier to change and returns to Shui De. This is the number of days. It is not foolish for the six kings to fight against each other! "
After Zhao Shuang finished speaking, the whole court was silent. It's not because Zhao Shuang said he wanted to destroy the Six Kingdoms in his words, but it was because he mentioned the danger of war.
What does this imply?
Lu Buwei had a smile on his face, Changping Jun had a deep expression, and Changan Jun looked at Zhao Shuang with an unpredictable look.
"I know your wishes. I should bestow them generously."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The king of Qin dispersed the dynasty, and all the officials came out.
Lu Buwei was outside and stopped Zhao Shuang who was about to leave, with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Hanyang has come a long way, and a banquet has been prepared in the prime minister's palace. I wonder if I can give in?"
Zhao Shuang smiled and cupped his hands slightly.
"Since it is the request of the Prime Minister, I dare to say something."
As he said that, Lu Buwei and Zhao Shuang walked side by side, with Cheng Yu and Chang Pingjun behind them, looking very unhappy.
"Cousin, your son-in-law is quite interesting!"
Cheng Yu said this and his face turned very ugly. Lord Changping originally thought that he and Zhao Shuang could become a natural alliance, but he never expected that he would hook up with Lu Buwei just after meeting King Qin.
What exactly does he want to do?
Prime Minister's Mansion.
The small banquet in the mansion is small in scale, but it is a bit warm.
However, this should not be the case between guests and hosts.
Wei Zhuang stood by with his sword, looking at the familiar face in front of him, silent.
Lu Buwei held the wine bottle and smiled slightly at Zhao Shuang.
"Han Yangjun is a young hero, so I respect him very much."
"The Prime Minister has worked hard and achieved great results. How can I salute you like this?"
In the same house, Lu Buwei was still Lu Buwei last time, and Zhao Shuang was still called Zhao Dabao. But this time, it was different.
There seemed to be no intention of mentioning the past between the host and the guests, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
It's just that drinking is always a bit boring.
"I'm drunk but not happy. What do you think, Mr. Hanyang?"
"But it depends on Xiangbang's orders."
Lu Buwei smiled, fluttered his sleeves, and shouted.
"Lao Ai!"
Wei Zhuang looked up and saw Lao Ai walking in with a sword in his hand, his face gloomy and his body still wounded.
"You should dance for me."
Regardless of whether Lao Ai wanted to or not, he rushed here from Taiyuan, thousands of miles away. Looking at the two people in front of him, he didn't know who to hate?
"promise!"
Lao Ai danced with the sword, her posture was stiff, but there was a trace of killing intent in the sword's intention.
Wei Zhuang clenched the sword in his hand, but when he looked at Zhao Shuang, he saw that he didn't notice at all and just kept toasting to Lu Buwei.
"Xiangbang's subordinate seems to be injured. Why is his posture so stiff?"
As soon as Zhao Shuang finished speaking, Lao Ai stopped the long sword in her hand, and the sword power resumed, but it was already different.
If he was just dancing with a sword just now, now he has some real skills in his hands.
The sword moves changed, and the killing intent in the sword became stronger and stronger.
Increasing little by little, Luo Wang is a top-notch killer, and his remaining power is such that even the top masters in the world cannot control it.
But the two people in the house didn't notice it at all.
"Useless thing, did you hear what your Majesty said?"
Lao Ai used the sword in her hand a little harder. After finishing all his remaining moves, the sword pointed towards Zhao Shuang.
Zhao Shuang smiled and drank as usual, without being touched. Just when the long sword was about to get closer, Lao Ai's expression changed and the sword movement stopped.
Han Feng was in front, and Zhao Shuang smiled slightly.
"This dancer, Xiangbang, is indeed extraordinary."
Lu Buwei smiled, but saw Lao Ai sheathing her sword and bowing to Lu Buwei.
"Get down!"
"promise!"
Lao Ai gritted her teeth and forced herself to bow down. She was originally injured, but now blood marks were spilling out.
Anger arose in his heart and he left the room. When he walked outside the house, he clenched his hands as if he wanted to tear the two people in his heart into pieces.
Lu Buwei! Zhao Shuang!
Zhao Shuang raised the wine bottle in his hand and toasted.
"Although tigers are ferocious, they will eventually eat people!"
Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Shuang, as if he didn't care, and asked back.
"If you don't have a cannibalistic heart, how can you maintain your ferocity?"
"Who does Xiangbang want to eat with a tiger?"
"Of course, no one can defeat a tiger!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. Wei Zhuang seemed to understand that the relationship between the two was different.
No more hunter and prey!
