Cao Wujiu did not avoid him because of the trouble in the Xiang family. A glimmer of hope ignited in Xiang Zhuang's heart, but Xiang Zhuang would not be unprepared because of this. He turned around and gave Xiang Sheng a wink. Xiang Sheng turned around and walked into a

The dark corners disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The Cao Mansion is not a famous family. The house is only divided into a front yard and a backyard. Under the leadership of the old family, Xiang Zhuang came to the living room of the Cao Mansion. An old woman brought tea and turned around to leave. Only then did the old family speak.

Said: "Young master, don't worry, it's very safe here, my master will be back soon."

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and the old family member turned and left. Xiang Zhuang was the only one left in the house. The warm living room at this time made Xiang Zhuang feel sleepy. However, his uncle was being escorted to Xianyang at the moment. The situation was urgent, so Xiang Zhuang got up and walked around the house.

After two steps, the sleepiness gradually disappeared. At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed. It must be Cao Wujiu who was back.

Xiang Zhuang hurried out to greet him, bowed and saluted: "My nephew, I pay my respects to Uncle Cao."

A young girl's childish voice sounded: "My nephew is exempt from the gift."

Xiang Zhuang was surprised and looked up. The person who had just come in was not Cao Wujiu, but Cao Feng. At this time, she was leaning forward and back, laughing. After a while, she took Xiang Zhuang's hand and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang Zhuang."

, did you come here specifically to see me?"

After speaking, Cao Feng's face turned red, she pouted, lowered her head and said nothing. Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing when he saw Cao Feng being so shy, and gently tapped her face: "You little girl, every day

What are you thinking about?"

"I'm so happy to see you..." Cao Feng fiddled with the hem of her clothes with her hands, looking very uncomfortable.

At this time, Cao Wujiu's dry cough came from the door. He walked in slowly and looked at his daughter displeased. Cao Feng stuck out his tongue and left quietly. Only then did Xiang Zhuang realize that Cao Wujiu seemed unhappy.

She liked the interaction between herself and Cao Feng, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "My nephew, Xiang Zhuang, pay my respects to Uncle Cao."

Cao Wujiu nodded, but his tone did not soften. He only said coldly: "Why are you here at this time?"

Xiang Zhuang sighed softly, knelt on one knee in front of Cao Wujiu, and said in a deep voice: "My uncle has been arrested, and my nephew is desperate. I want to ask Uncle Cao for help."

"Your uncle and I are old friends. I should help you with your matter. However, Qixian County is adjacent to Xiamen. The government is very strict about arresting the Xiang family. I'm afraid I can't hide you. Why don't you listen to me and I will prepare something for you?"

There are some troubles, you go to Jiangdong to avoid..."

Cao Wujiu sighed softly, but Cao Feng's anxious voice came from the door: "Dad, let's help Brother Xiangzhuang."

It turned out that his daughter had not left. Cao Wujiu's face turned livid and he said angrily: "When a man talks, why does a girl get in the way?"

Cao Wujiu pointed to the door again and scolded: "Go find your mother and ask her to prepare some expenses and a banquet. Your brother Xiangzhuang and I will have a drink."

Cao Feng had no choice but to leave. Cao Wujiu pulled up Xiang Zhuang who was kneeling on the ground and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but my ability is really limited. You just need to avoid the limelight. When the matter is over, I will

Notify you to come back."

Seeing that Cao Wujiu had misunderstood his thoughts, Xiang Zhuang could only say: "Uncle, I have misunderstood. I just want my uncle's help to save my uncle. Zhuang'er is willing to go through fire and water to repay his uncle..."

Cao Wujiu didn't expect that Xiang Zhuang came here for his uncle. Since ancient times, the hozens have scattered when the tree fell and they flew away when the disaster came. However, Xiang Zhuang did not run away, but ran to save his uncle. At this moment, Cao Wujiu

He completely changed his view of Xiang Zhuang and couldn't help but smile: "It's rare for you to run for your uncle. I really have a way, but the journey is long and difficult and dangerous. Do you dare to go?"

Xiang Zhuang nodded and swore an oath: "I, Xiang Zhuang, will never give up until I die."

"Okay!" Cao Wujiu praised loudly, turned around and walked to the back room, took out a pen and paper, and wrote as fast as he could. He quickly finished writing and handed it to Xiang Zhuang with instructions: "Sima Xin, the governor of Yueyang Prison, is my old friend. You

Take the letter and go to Yueyang to find him, and he will definitely make plans for you."

...

In the backyard of Cao Mansion, two banquet tables were prepared. Cao Wujiu and Xiang Zhuang took their seats one after another. Cao Wujiu raised his glass and said with a smile: "Tomorrow my nephew will go west. The journey is long and full of dangers. You must not reveal your identity or cause unnecessary trouble."

trouble."

"My nephew took note of it."

Cao Wujiu took a sip and remembered that today, someone broke into the city gate without permission, and the matter actually reached the county captain. If he hadn't tried his best to suppress it, I'm afraid the whole city would have been under martial law to arrest the bandits. Thinking of this,

Cao Wujiu put down his wine glass and asked, "Were you the one who forced his way into the city gate today?"

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and Cao Wujiu said displeasedly: "Don't be so reckless next time. Once your identity is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Xiang Zhuang cupped his hands and thanked him: "My nephew has written it down."

Cao Wujiu nodded with satisfaction, and the two of them drank a few more sips of wine. They were both silent. After an unknown period of time, Xiang Zhuang asked, "Uncle Cao, what are your plans for the future?"

Cao Wujiu raised his head and stared at Xiangzhuang, and said in surprise: "What plans can I have to continue serving in Qixian County?"

Cao Wujiu's answer was a bit perfunctory, and Xiang Zhuang sighed inwardly. According to his understanding of history, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang generals revolted in Daze Township, which is within the jurisdiction of Qixian County, and the first city they conquered was Qixian County.

Today, Cao Wujiu helped Cao Wujiu. Xiangzhuang was very grateful, so he asked, thinking that he needed to wake up Cao Wujiu and ask him to move to Kuaiji or live elsewhere. He would not take any official position in the Qin State.

Whatever.

But Xiang Zhuang was hesitant at this time. He didn't know how to talk to Cao Wujiu about this matter. If he told the truth, it would make people feel that he had some kind of fantasy ability, and no one would believe his knowledge of the future.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang raised his glass and pondered, thinking about his words. Soon, he took a sip of the wine in the glass and said with a smile: "I heard that my uncle once mentioned that Uncle Cao persuaded the Xiang family to move to Kuaiji. I wonder if this is the case?

"

Cao Wujiu drank all the wine in his glass and couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Liang actually told you this matter."

Cao Wujiu did not show the expected surprise, but instead looked senile. At this time, Xiang Zhuang sighed softly and asked: "May I ask my uncle, why did you persuade your second uncle to move to Kuaiji?"

Cao Wujiu thought for a moment, stared at Xiang Zhuang, and asked with a smile: "Is this important?"

Xiang Zhuang nodded, pretending to be serious, stood up, walked back and forth around the table for a few steps, and then said: "As far as I know, although the Qin State unified the world, it was strong on the outside and weak on the inside. Not long ago, I met Young Master Fusu in Suiyang.

He also believes that Qin's power is only in front of its eyes. If we don't recruit wise people from all over the world to strengthen Qin and make reforms to become stronger, Qin will definitely decline."

Xiang Zhuang pretended to be mysterious, paused for a moment, looked at Cao Wujiu, and sighed: "He also invited me to join his sect and serve as an official in Xianyang, but I refused. Uncle, does he know why?"

Cao Wujiu looked slightly surprised and asked: "Why?"

Xiang Zhuang laughed loudly: "The Qin Dynasty was very aggressive and military, and the first emperor only wanted to enjoy himself and seek elixirs. How could the Qin country survive for a long time?"

Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing, his laughter was uninhibited, "As young as my nephew, I can still see that Qin will not survive for a long time, let alone Uncle Cao? I hope...Uncle Cao can seriously think about the situation,

If you think what your nephew says is reasonable, you can give up your official position in Suiyang and take refuge with our Xiang family in Wuhui. Within three years, the Xiang family will surely rise!"

...

In the early morning, outside the gate of Cao Mansion, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Sheng got on their horses. On the horse, Xiang Zhuang said goodbye to Cao Wujiu. Cao Wujiu also nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I will consider what my nephew said last night. I hope,

Your trip to Xianyang will be smooth sailing."

Xiang Zhuang was grateful in his heart. With Cao Wujiu's letter, he could save himself a lot of trouble, so he returned the gift with a smile and said, "Uncle, take care, my nephew is gone!"

Xiang Zhuang turned his horse's head, whipped his whip hard, and galloped away. The chaotic sound of horse hooves gradually disappeared. Just as Xiang Zhuang's figure slowly disappeared, Cao Feng poked his head out from the corner of the courtyard wall, sighed, and said to himself

: "Brother Xiangzhuang, take care along the way, Feng'er will be here to pray for you..."

In the east of Xianyang, the First Emperor once built the Orchid Pond here and diverted water from the Wei River into the pond. The Orchid Pond was two hundred miles long and twenty miles wide. He built a palace in the pond and carved a giant whale out of a huge stone. It was very majestic.

The area near Orchid Pond is lined with green trees and is also a place for recreation. On this day, a team of more than 20 people visited near Orchid Pond. The leader was a man in gorgeous clothes. Beside him, a Confucian scholar and a

More than twenty warriors accompanied him.

The middle-aged man at the head was in a good mood. He was the first emperor of Qin who ruled the world and commanded all directions to win the government. At this time, he stood by the pool and looked at the tall palace in the center of the pool. A giant whale seemed to be standing proudly in the pool. If he could catch up

When you visit on a foggy day, you will feel like you are in a fairyland. Moreover, such a huge project has consumed two years of your own treasury income. If such beautiful scenery cannot win the favor of gods, living here will be a waste of effort.

The First Emperor was in a good mood at this time. He pointed to the palace in the center of the pool. It was called Penghui, which is derived from Penglai, the first word of Yingzhou, hence the name 'Penghui'. Pointing to the palace, the First Emperor smiled and said: "Let's go to the palace.

have a look."

On the side, a man dressed as a Confucian scholar was over sixty years old. He was Wang Wan, the Prime Minister of the Qin State. Since he was traveling incognito, he transformed into a Confucian scholar and accompanied the First Emperor. At this time, under the orders of the First Emperor, Wang Wan smiled.

Said: "I heard that Penghuang Palace has three floors. Each floor symbolizes the Heavenly Palace and is very gorgeous."

The First Emperor couldn't help but laugh heartily: "It's so unique, I have to go and see it."

Everyone walked forward slowly. Not far away, they could reach the Tongtian Bridge. From the bridge, they could cross the pond and reach the Penghuang Hall. There would also be guards from the First Emperor's Chinese army. Only the First Emperor and his party could enter.

Just when the First Emperor was walking by the bank of Orchid Pond with curiosity and expectation, a group of people suddenly rode out and blocked the way of the First Emperor and his party.

"This...this road is mine...I...I opened it! This...this...this...this tree was planted by me...I want...if you want to...walk...walk...walk this road! Stay

Buy Lu... Lu Cai!" The leader was a big man with a deep scar on his face, looking very ferocious and ferocious, but his stuttering made people feel dumbfounded. However, the First Emperor had already realized that this
