Chapter 348: Brother Zheng: I not only want... (Begging for rewards on Monday!)
"That's it!"

Looking at the lifelike jade pendant drawn on the paper, Fusu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This jade pendant was indeed in his hand. He saw it in a shop when he was out for fun a few months ago. On impulse, he bought it for fifty taels of silver. After buying it, Fusu did not take it too seriously and kept it. Unexpectedly, this jade pendant might be related to the life experience of Wushuang Jun Tianxuanzi.

"Mo Ya, wait a moment." After being surprised, Fusu stood up from the armchair and searched the study room for the jade pendant he had placed there. During this time, Mo Ya lowered his head and did not dare to look up, like a clay sculpture or a wooden carving.

Click!

Soon, Fusu took out a sandalwood box from the secret compartment. On the lid of the box, there was a carving of a blooming lotus with petals spread out and several fishes surrounding it. Although there were no other decorations, it was comparable to the brocade box in the story of "Buying the Casket and Returning the Pearl".

"Mo Ya, take it!"

After finding the brocade box containing the jade pendant, Fusu handed it to Mo Ya, indicating that he could take it back and report.

"Thank you, my Lord."

After successfully obtaining the target from Fusu, Mo Ya held the brocade box in both hands. His tense heartstrings relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

tread!tread!tread!
This incident was a big trouble for Mo Ya, but it was just an insignificant episode for Fusu, the eldest son of the Qin Empire. However, just as Mo Ya stuffed the sandalwood box given by Fusu into his arms and was about to leave, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, dense and hurried footsteps were heard outside the study, coming towards the study from far away. Against the backdrop of the quiet night sky, the footsteps seemed particularly loud.

"who is it?"

The sudden sound of hurried footsteps made Fusu feel unhappy. He subconsciously thought that the concubines in his backyard were fighting. His usually gentle voice turned impatient and he shouted outside.

"Young Master," the man hurried to the study room, but did not push the door open. He stopped outside the door and reported humbly, "A messenger has come from the palace. His Majesty summons you and Lord Mo Ya to enter the palace immediately. There must be no delay. In addition, the messenger specifically reminded us to bring the thing that His Majesty has instructed us to bring with us!"

"What?" Fusu's face turned pale after hearing Zhengge's order relayed by his servant.

Brush and pull!

Although Mo Ya had met Zheng Ge before, he knew very well that in the eyes of the First Emperor, he was just an insect that could be killed with a flick of the hand. Unexpectedly, Zheng Ge summoned him so hastily tonight, which made Mo Ya look depressed, and his heart seemed to fall into an abyss that could not be seen to the bottom, and he felt insignificant.

………………

"father!"

"Lord Li Kai!" "Greetings to County Magistrate Li."

……

The terrain of Shu is rugged and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although it has no power to advance into the Central Plains, it is restricted by the terrain and the outside army cannot enter on a large scale. For thousands of years, the Shu Kingdom, which occupied Shu, seemed to be independent of another world, watching the fighting among the heroes of the Central Plains. It can be said to be a paradise that is not stained by war.

During the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, King Huiwen of Qin falsely claimed that two stone cows could excrete gold and wanted to give them to the King of Shu. The King of Shu, who did not know it was a trick, was overjoyed and sent people to build a plank road in the mountains to welcome the two stone cows that could excrete gold into Shu. As a result, the two stone cows were welcomed into Shu by the Kingdom of Shu; then, Sima Cuo, who was the most famous general of Qin before Bai Qi, followed this plank road into Shu, destroyed Shu, and turned it into the Shu County of Qin.

Since the establishment of Shu County, Shu has been an important granary of the Qin State. Moreover, Li Bing built the Dujiangyan Weir, turning a dangerous river into a good canal for irrigating the surrounding fields. Over the years, Shu has been marked by the Qin State and has become an important place second only to Guanzhong.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, hanging in the center of the cloudless sky, casting a slightly poisonous light that fell on the ground, causing the green vegetation to wither. In front of a somewhat simple city, Tianxuan, who had brought more than a hundred people into Sichuan to pacify the Shushan clan entrenched in the Shushan Mountains, met the current governor of Shu County: Li Kai!

As time went by, Li Kai resigned from the post of Nanyang County Magistrate and was transferred to Shu County by Zheng Ge as the County Magistrate. Although Nanyang and Shu County were both counties, in terms of status, territory, and even importance; at this critical juncture of world unification, the Nanyang County Magistrate could never compare with the Shu County Magistrate.

Tianxuan and his party, who had come from afar and were exhausted, met Li Kai and his party who came out of the city to greet them in front of the deep city gate corridor. Their eyes met. When they met last time, Tianxuan was still Li Kai's colleague and half-boss; now, Tianxuan is Li Kai's legitimate boss and son-in-law in name only.

Looking at the old man with gray hair and beard, who was in his fifties or sixties, and whose cheeks were covered with wrinkles and who might be put into the coffin at any time, and whose old age could not be concealed even though he was wearing luxurious official clothes, Tianxuan felt a little embarrassed. His lips moved and he opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to address the other person.

Li Kaizhi also had similar feelings. Looking at the man riding a red warhorse, who was said to be only in his early twenties but had become an important official of the empire and his superior, Li Kaizhi felt embarrassed and had an unknown fire in his heart, wishing he could punch him in the face.

Yan Fei, Yue Shen, Da Siming, Shao Siming, Zi Nu, Nong Yu and others who were accompanying Tian Xuan sensed the awkwardness brewing between the father-in-law and son-in-law who were in name only, and the four women of Yin Yang Family showed expressions of watching a good show. Zi Nu and Nong Yu, who had an inseparable and complicated relationship with Li Kai, were afraid that Tian Xuan and Li Kai would fight, so they spoke out to break the stagnation.

As they spoke, Tianxuan's subordinates seemed to have been enlightened, and they called out "Mr. Li" and joined them.

Bang!
Nongyu had not seen her father Li Kai for many years, and seeing him again was a thrill. As soon as she called him "Dad", Nongyu, who was skilled in martial arts, jumped off the horse like a nimble swallow and threw herself into Li Kai's arms. Her jade-white arms wrapped around Li Kai's waist, and pearl-like tears rolled down her eyes.

"Girl, you still remember to come back!"

The last time Li Kai heard about Nongyu was when she announced that she was going to marry Tianxuan as a concubine. At that time, if Li Kai and his wife had not been hindered by the long journey and the heavy burden on their shoulders, they would have wanted to fly to Xianyang and teach Nongyu a lesson. After hearing the news that Nongyu followed Tianxuan into Shu, Li Kai secretly vowed to teach Nongyu a lesson.

However, when his beloved daughter, whom he had not seen for many years, threw herself into his arms and her plump and round tears dripped onto his clothes like pearls from a broken string, the anger burning in Li Kai's heart subsided. He subconsciously wrapped his arms around his daughter, as if he was holding a treasure that had been lost and found again. Tears fell from his eyes and he cursed with a smile.

At this moment, the father and daughter can only see each other, and it is impossible for others to get in the way.
