After paying the copper coins, Xiang Zhuang wanted to leave, but Zhang Buyi kept fiddling with a dagger. The dagger was about a foot long, black in color, and had a handle sewn from cowhide, which was very comfortable to hold.

Xiang Zhuang walked over slowly and said with a smile: "Brother Buyi, have you taken a fancy to this dagger?"

Zhang Buyi couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiang Zhuang approaching: "This dagger is really good."

Zhang Buyu watched for a while, then turned to the blacksmith and asked, "Uncle, how do you sell this dagger?"

Seeing Zhang Buduo's question, the blacksmith couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Majesty, you really have a good eye. These daggers are originally a pair, but they are out of print and unparalleled in the world."

"Um? Really?" Zhang Buyu was surprised and stared at the blacksmith. The blacksmith took the dagger and introduced: "This dagger is made of iron. It was forged by Wu and his son, the blacksmiths of Wei State. It is extremely sharp. I heard that he came from

These two short daggers were forged due to Master Wu's evil spirit."

After the blacksmith introduced it, he smiled ashamedly and said: "Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to make such a dagger."

"Is it a technical problem?" Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but ask. The blacksmith put the dagger back and said with a smile: "Iron ore is not easy to melt. Making arrowheads is already very difficult. Making daggers is even more difficult. Therefore, it is very difficult to reach the sky."

Few craftsmen forge iron swords."

Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Busuo nodded slightly, and soon Zhang Busuo smiled and asked, "How dare I ask uncle, where is the other dagger?"

"Haha, it's in my inner house."

Zhang Buyi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, I want both of these daggers. You can give me a price."

After leaving the iron shop, Zhang Buyi stared at the daggers in his hands. Soon, he handed one of them to Xiang Zhuang and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Xiang, these daggers are a pair. I will give you one of them. I hope

, our friendship can be like a dagger, never separated."

"A gentleman does not take away someone's beauty. Brother Bujie should keep this pair of daggers for himself." Xiang Zhuang pushed the dagger back. Zhang Buyi feigned anger and said displeasedly: "Brother Xiang, do you think I am an outsider?"

After being told by Zhang Buyi, Xiang Zhuang reluctantly accepted it and said with cupped hands: "I, Xiang, will definitely record this day//The love between you and me will be like this pair of daggers, which will last forever to all generations of our descendants."

...

A cup of thick hangover soup was still steaming. On the side, Zhou Shi held a bamboo slip in his hand and looked at it carefully. I don’t know how long it had been, but Zhou Shi hadn’t drank so much wine like he did today. At this time, he

He felt a little headache and his whole body was sore//soft, but reading made him forget about his physical fatigue and headache.

It was already dark at this time. Soon, the door was gently pushed open. Li Yan walked in slowly and said with a helpless smile: "We have sent a letter from the Wei Mansion. The young master has woken up. He just drank the hangover soup and fell asleep again."

After listening to Li Yan's words, Zhou Shi sighed softly, put the bamboo slips on the table, pointed to the soft mat beside him, and said with a smile: "Sit down."

Li Yan sat down, Zhou Shi pointed at the hangover soup and asked, "Would you like a bowl?"

"No." Li Yan waved his hand. He could see that Zhou Shi was extremely dissatisfied with Wei Jiu's performance today. Since ancient times, only those who can lie dormant and wait can achieve great things. The so-called enduring humiliation and stealing a life is just for a shocking roar, but Wei Jiu

Jiu's performance today was too revealing and would make him angry, but Li Yan didn't know how to persuade Zhou Shi or how to speak.

Soon, Zhou Shi reached out and took out a letter from his arms. This letter was given to him by Zhang Buyi during the day. He put the letter on the table and handed it to Li Yan. Li Yan was surprised and opened it.

, in the letter, Zhang Liang expressed his greetings to Zhou Shi, mentioned Bolangsha's assassination of the First Emperor, and hoped that the Zhang family and Zhou family could continue to communicate.

When Zhou Shi saw Li Yan reading the letter, he couldn't help complaining: "Master Wei's performance today is too sharp. He really doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. Does he think that the relationship between Zhang Liang and him is a pure friendship? If he thinks so

, then he is totally wrong!”

Li Yan also sighed softly and said with a smile: "Young master is young after all. He has too little experience and does not know the dangers of the world. Brother Zhou, don't take it to heart. However, Zhang Liang is so attentive and has a good relationship with the Zhou family. Is there any purpose?"

?"

Zhou Shi sneered and said disdainfully: "Zhang Liang, he just wants to unite with the Zhou family in the hope of reviving Korea in the future. I really feel that this person is very rich and it is difficult for us to have a close relationship with him."

After saying that, Zhou Shi picked up the hangover soup and drank a few sips. The sour and refreshing feeling made Zhou Shi feel much more relaxed. At this time, Zhou Shi said again: "Back then, I helped him hire warriors to assassinate the First Emperor.

I regret it. Once the Qin Dynasty finds out that it was our Zhou family who helped, the plan to revitalize the Wei Kingdom will be ruined. It was my poor thinking at the time."

Seeing what Zhou Shi said, Li Yan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother Zhou, don't think so. I think that overthrowing the Qin Dynasty is not something we, the Wei family, can do. We must form an alliance with the descendants of the Six Nations.

Only then can we form the power to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. At least, we must have a close relationship with them before the Qin Dynasty is destroyed."

"But Zhang Liang is quite courageous. I'm afraid he will be a powerful enemy of ours in the future." Zhou Shi expressed his worries, but it was Li Yan who did not agree with Zhou Shi's idea and said with a smile: "As long as

As long as the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, we cannot offend any power that may rise. Only when the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, can we consider devouring each other and dividing the world equally."

After a pause, Li Yan looked out the window again. Through the window paper, he could faintly feel the cold moonlight. He couldn't help but smile: "And that Xiang Zhuang, I feel that this person is different and a good young man."

…”

...

The bustling street was crowded with people, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going. And among the crowd, a team of more than ten people surrounded two gorgeously dressed people, walking in the street.

Among them, there was a man about thirty years old. He was the eldest son of the First Emperor, Fusu, and the older one beside him was his imperial uncle, Ying Ziying.

A few months ago, the First Emperor sent Meng Tian with an army of 300,000 to march north to attack the Xiongnu. Fusu took the opportunity to request an order and marched north to swear an oath to boost the morale of the Qin army. The First Emperor was overjoyed, commended Fusu, and appointed Ying Ziying to accompany him.

After supporting Su to go north, the two men had to follow the army and arrived at Shangjun. There they encouraged the three armies and greatly boosted the army's power. After saying goodbye to Meng Tian, ​​the Qin army slowly moved northward.

Fusu, on the other hand, stayed in Yangzhou County, Shangjun for a few days, and then headed east, arriving at Linzi City, the old capital of Qi State. He stayed there for a while, and then went to Langyatai without stopping, where Fusu felt free.

It feels so good, without the restraints of palace etiquette, no secret fights for power, and no intrigues. But Fusu is the eldest son of the First Emperor after all. He shoulders the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Qin State, and his freedom can only be as follows.

Like a shooting star, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. His life, his life, only belonged to the Qin Dynasty. He had to embark on the westward journey and rush back to Xianyang.

The scenery along the way was beautiful, and the people were living and working in peace and contentment, which made Fusu feel very good. Unknowingly, Fusu and his party came to Suiyang, Dang County, where they visited a very important person. After that, Fusu would rush back without stopping.

Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

At this time, the prosperity in the street made Fusu feel that this was the peaceful and prosperous age he wanted, the Qin Empire in his dream. The joy in Fusu's heart could not be concealed, and he couldn't help laughing loudly, looking at his uncle and son Ying.

, smiled and said: "Uncle, how great would it be if all parts of Qin could be as prosperous as Suiyang?"

Ziying nodded slightly, but sighed softly in his heart, and smiled back: "The rain is about to come, and the calmer the time, the more vigilant we should be. Many crises often lurk in the darkness and erupt before we know it."

."

Ziying's words were profound, but Fusu had heard the meaning and couldn't help but sigh: "Although the Six Kingdoms have been annexed, their descendants will not be willing to perish. They are still planning how to restore the country.

Accumulating strength, stupid//stupid//desire//acting, these cannot be cured overnight. It requires the joint efforts of successive emperors, kindness and power, to gradually disappear...Is that so? Imperial uncle?"

Ziying nodded with satisfaction. This nephew was his favorite, a courteous and virtuous corporal, and won the hearts of the people. Among the many sons of the First Emperor, Ziying only valued Fusu. At this time, Fusu only said a few words to the Qin Dynasty.

The major issues facing him were explained, which made Ziying a little surprised. He couldn't help but smile and said: "If you ascend the throne one day, I hope you will not forget what you said today."

Fusu nodded slightly, and Ziying added: "Although the Qin Dynasty unified the country, its strength is only for the present. In the near future, if it is not governed well, it will definitely cause turmoil in all directions. At that time, there will be no regrets..."

Ziying mentioned the excitement, sighed softly, and added: "Since this northern expedition to the Huns, the court has dispatched an army of 300,000. I don't know how many people will suffer, how many people will be separated from their wives, and how many men will be buried forever."

In the desert, even the Xiongnu would scatter their wives and children, destroy their families, flee from Mobei, and wander around the world. Therefore, I do not advocate starting this war, but the emperor insists on having his own way, and I have no choice. I just hope that you will not leave in the future.

The old road of the royal brother."

The topic was getting a bit far away. At this time, many people were already observing them in the street. Fusu couldn't help but coughed and looked around. Only then did Ziying realize that his voice was a bit loud just now, and the topic they were discussing was...

They were all sensitive topics, so he had to lower his voice and said: "The burden on the people is huge. This will give those descendants of the Six Kingdoms with ulterior motives the opportunity to rebel. In the hometown of the Six Kingdoms, the people may not support the Qin State. Once they raise their arms, who knows who will

How many people responded, once the world is in turmoil and the Qin Dynasty is besieged from both sides and exhausted from running around, how can it last long?"

Fusu sighed, in the final analysis, the problem still lies with the descendants of the Six Nations. Fusu also thought that by eradicating the roots of the grass, there would be no future troubles. But wildfires can't burn them all, and spring breezes blow again. Even if they are killed, how can there be any guarantee?

, they will not resurrect. If they are not handled well, it will cause the world's strife to break out in advance, which will be detrimental to Qin. Therefore, Fusu abandoned this extreme idea.

Just when Fusu was deep in thought, Shu Suntong, a doctor waiting for an imperial edict, interrupted: "Young master wants to stabilize people's hearts and eliminate hidden dangers for the descendants of the Six Kingdoms. I think the root cause lies in the employment of people."

When Fusu heard what Shusun Tong said, he became interested and said with a smile: "Come and listen."

Shu Suntong nodded and continued: "If you want to stabilize the descendants of the Six Kingdoms and unify the world, you must learn to recruit talents from all over the world. No matter where they are born, whether they are descendants of the Six Kingdoms or not, you must treat them equally and influence them."

, make them give up the idea of ​​restoring the country, and the Qin Dynasty can truly move toward stability and real prosperity."

Fusu nodded after hearing this. His trip to Suiyang this time was just to meet Shusun Tong's teacher and a descendant of Confucius, Kong Yu. He smiled and asked, "I wonder how far away Mr. Kong's residence is?"

"Go a little further ahead and turn a corner, and you'll be there."
