Chapter 59 It Won't Be Peaceful
The sun is setting in the west.
The Qin soldiers formed groups of ten and brought stones to build simple stoves. Iron pots were placed on the campfire. The food, dried meat, mushrooms picked from the surrounding forests, pheasants, rabbits and the like that the team brought were processed and thrown into the iron pots.
Crackling!
As the grains and meats gradually cooked through in the iron pots, crisp sounds like frying beans emanated from the iron pots, along with tempting aromas.
"Brother Tianxuan, let's eat together!"
Old people sleep a lot, and Zhao Ji had been diagnosed by numerous doctors as dying. Therefore, even though the night had not yet completely fallen and she had not eaten dinner, Zhao Ji had already fallen into a sweet sleep. With Zhao Ji falling asleep, Tian Xuan was finally free, and wandered around the simple camp as if relieved of a heavy burden.
Smelling the fragrance that permeated the void, Tianxuan couldn't help but feel hungry, and he decided to find a secluded place to have a hearty meal.
Unexpectedly, Prince Fusu came to him.
The eldest son of the Qin State was not too arrogant. When he came to Tianxuan, he was followed by a clever eunuch who was holding a tray with a small bowl of mushroom chicken soup, a few flatbreads, and a few stir-fried side dishes, inviting Tianxuan to dine with him.
"Thank you, young master."
Seeing that Prince Fusu invited him to dine with him, Tianxuan's eyes flashed with admiration and he did not refuse.
"Sir, have the Queen Mother, the King, and Lady Li Ji used it?"
Tianxuan followed Prince Fusu to his tent. Sheepskins were spread in the tent. In addition to a makeshift wooden bed, there was only a foldable wooden table. When the eunuch placed the dishes on the wooden table, Tianxuan looked stern and asked Fusu.
Fusu took the soup spoon, first served himself a bowl of soup, and then served Tianxuan a bowl, showing his humility.
"Brother Tianxuan, father and Madam Li Ji are having dinner. As for grandma? I told the servants to save a portion for her. If she is hungry, just tell them to heat it up."
At this point, Fusu showed a hint of helplessness on his face, with a hint of resentment hidden in it.
"Speaking of which, Madam Li Ji is pregnant, and Father is still taking her everywhere. Aren't you afraid that Madam Li Ji will have a miscarriage?"
People born in an imperial family are bound to mature early. Zhengge still has no queen. Before Gongsun Li Ji appeared, Lady Mi, the mother of Fusu and the sister of Changping Jun, had been in charge of the harem. In other words, Lady Mi was a queen in name only. However, after Li Ji entered the palace, Zhengge not only doted on her, but also treated her the same as Lady Mi.
As a result, Fusu, and even Lady Mi, Lord Changping, and Lord Changwen behind him, could not help but doubt whether Zhengge was going to help Gongsun Liji ascend to the throne of queen. If Gongsun Liji really became queen, then the child she gave birth to would definitely be a legitimate son!
[First, Zheng Ge and Gongsun Li Ji met in Zhao State, and now they just want to revisit the old place; second, the child in Li Ji's belly is not Zheng Ge's, but her senior brother Jing Ke's. Although Zheng Ge values her, how can he not have a grudge at all! ]
Tianxuan naturally knew why Zhengge took Gongsun Liji to Handan when she was pregnant. Before Fusu finished speaking, Tianxuan had a lot of thoughts in his mind. However, there were some things that he could not say as a minister. Facing the complaints in Fusu's tone, Tianxuan could only smile and keep silent.
"My Lord, I have a feeling that this journey will not be peaceful." After a few breaths of silence, Tianxuan ended the topic. "After all, the grievances between Qin and Zhao are too deep. If Zhao is destroyed, there is no guarantee that there will not be people from Zhao who will take risks and assassinate the king!" "Brother Tianxuan is right."
Fusu was also a very intelligent person, and he knew that as a subject of Tianxuan, there were some things that he really couldn't say carelessly. When Tianxuan mentioned this, Fusu suddenly realized it, and fear and worry surged on his handsome face.
………………
The autumn light is connected to the night, and the traveler from thousands of miles away is sad. The fallen leaves are in the empty mountains, and the lonely cloud is lost in the hometown. The cold frost is falling on the quilt, and the moon is low in the west. The dream comes again and again, and the cocks are crowing in the thousands of doors.
A bright moon, as bright as a jade plate, hung high in the sky, casting its cold moonlight on the mountains and rivers where the war had just ended. The trees and flowers growing on the mountains looked like dancing ghosts against the dark night.
A woman in white clothes as white as snow, with a beautiful nose and lips, and a cold yet charming appearance, stands alone on the top of the mountain. Her pretty features are bathed in the moonlight, and her coldness, coupled with the whistling cold wind on the top of the mountain, blows on her snow-white robe, making her look like the Gushan fairy who can ride the wind at any time.
On the back of this cold and pure woman in white, there was a long sword of exquisite shape. Under the bright moon, the long sword was jumping in the exquisite scabbard, as if the sword had become spiritual, sensing the owner's mood, and wanted to jump out of the scabbard to kill all the enemies.
"Feixue, you still haven't given up?"
Suddenly, a hearty male voice sounded, like a wild ghost suddenly emerging from the dark world, lingering beside the woman in white. Along with the words, a tall, handsome man with a fine beard under his chin, showing an unruly and uninhibited style, suddenly appeared beside the woman in white.
"Canjian, if you are afraid, you can leave now!"
The woman called Feixue turned her head to look at the man in gray who appeared beside her and said coldly.
Broken sword, flying snow!
The famous knights of Zhao State are a couple. Their names are also the names of their swords, and they are both masters of Lihe Realm. It is said that if they join forces, even thousands of troops cannot stop them.
After saying the name of Canjian, Feixue's pretty face suddenly twisted, with heart-pounding hatred surging in her eyes: "Zhao has been destroyed, and the tyrant Ying Zheng is on his way here, clearly wanting to show off his power! But, since he has left the palace, even though he is surrounded by guards, as long as we kill him, the Zhao people will be able to take advantage of the situation to make a comeback and restore our country!"
At the end of the speech, an emotion called madness appeared on Feixue's face.
"Feixue, with the strength of the two of us, I'm afraid we can't even get past Gai Nie."
When Canjian saw his lover's expression, he sighed inwardly:
[Feixue, although you have a little connection with the Zhao royal family, it is still far away. Even King Zhao Qian doesn't care about the country of Zhao. Why would you risk your life for the illusory hope of restoring the country?]
Since Zheng Ge came to power, there have been countless assassins who wanted to kill him, but most of them died before they even saw Zheng Ge. No matter success or failure, assassinating Zheng Ge is a dead end. Everyone knows this. Canjian doesn't want to see his lover die in vain, but if his lover insists on doing so, he can only accompany his lover to die together.
"Just the two of us can't do anything to the tyrant Ying Zheng." Hearing Canjian say this, Feixue's charming face showed a sincere smile from the bottom of her heart.
