After everyone's efforts to persuade him, Fusu finally calmed down. At this time, everyone had returned to their seats. The room was extremely quiet. No one said a word. Soon, Fusu's soldiers brought a new cup of tea.

, placed it in front of Fusu, bowed and left. Ziying watched Fusu pick up the new tea, took a sip, and then sighed: "Life is like this cup of tea, with ups and downs added together. Nothing is smooth sailing, and nothing goes as planned."

, you must learn to be patient and learn to survive in adversity."

After Ziying finished speaking, he sighed softly. Why didn't he hope that the Qin Dynasty would become stronger and stronger, and that his brother Yingzheng would regain his consciousness, turn the tide, change his past mistakes, and make the Qin Kingdom prosperous for generations to come? But all this has become distant at this time.

Out of reach, I really can’t imagine what it would be like if my nephew Fusu was overthrown and Qin fell into the hands of Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others.

After sighing with emotion, Ziying picked up the tea cup and took a sip to suppress the irritability and uneasiness in his heart. He looked at Fusu and said helplessly: "What Zhao Gao relies on is not Hu Hai. Hu Hai is just a chess piece. In my opinion."

, Zhao Gao dared to cause such a big disturbance in Xianyang, and there must have been instructions from the emperor brother. We might as well endure it and wait and see what happens, so as not to get into trouble and burn ourselves, and the gain outweighs the loss."

"What the emperor said is very true, I agree." Meng Yi nodded and said: "Brother Meng Tian went north to attack the Xiongnu. I don't know how the battle will be or what the situation will be. At this time, the young master should be patient and wait for his brother's squad to return to the court.

In this way, the young master will have a greater chance of overthrowing Zhao Gao."

Meng Yi's words made everyone nod silently. Soon, Shu Suntong also sighed: "Young Master, what Lord Meng said is absolutely true. At this time in the court, the Young Master's power and supporters have been greatly weakened. We might as well wait and see."

current situation."

"Quietly observe the situation?" Fusu thought silently in his heart. Maybe, at this time, he really can't be too impulsive, otherwise, big things will happen...!

...

The turmoil in the situation in Xianyang caused Fusu to change his plan to temporarily return to the capital. Tonight, he will live in the Lishan camp, where 20,000 Lishan garrison troops are stationed, and Fusu's camp will be led by Meng Yi

The government soldiers are responsible for guarding and ensuring Fusu's safety here.

At this time, everyone had gone back to their tents to rest. Only Fusu was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. At this time, the night wind blew on his body, making people feel refreshed. Fusu walked out of the big tent. Not far away, Su Jiao

Seeing Fusu, he came up to him and said, "Young Master, it's so late, where do you want to go?"

"I'm upset. Come out for a walk. You don't have to accompany me." Fusu waved his hand and walked to a carriage. The carriage was also loaded with fodder. Fusu happened to be sitting on the fodder, looking at the stars in the sky. Today,

The night sky is extraordinarily bright.

Su Jiao pressed his sword with his right hand and stood twenty steps away from Fusu to keep watch. In this way, both of them were immersed in the diffuse night. Not far away, they could vaguely hear that the corvees were still shouting under the moonlight.

They worked very hard in the imperial tombs, working long hours, without even having a full meal, and some even fell ill. What awaited them was only death and endless darkness...

Perhaps at this moment, Su Jiao's heart was peaceful, but Fusu's heart was disturbed by the trivial government affairs and the chaotic political situation of the Qin State. He didn't know what he should do. A strong desire swept through his heart and helped Fusu.

Su felt that he should stand up. He couldn't just watch the powerful Qin State being swallowed up little by little. He couldn't bear it. Those silverfish were corroding the Qin State little by little. He had to stand up bravely. He was the eldest son and the future of the Qin State.

The crown prince must shoulder the heavy burden of the Qin State, accuse his father of all his faults, and correct the imperial court.

But Meng Yi's persuasion was like a green thread that kept being cut, entangled in Fusu's heart. If he acted rashly, it would be counterproductive and burn him. Fusu's heart was confused and he was in a dilemma.

The bright moonlight shone on the earth, making Fusu feel that the world was cold, without any color, only black or white, only right or wrong, only good or evil...

Just when Fu Su was thinking wildly, a soldier from the government ran out of the camp and was stopped by Su Jiao. Soon, the report from the soldier came from a distance: "General Su, there is a young man who wants to see the young master. He

I brought a jade pendant. This jade pendant looks like it belongs to the royal family, so we don’t dare to neglect it.”

At this time, hurried footsteps came. Su Jiao was behind Fu Su, holding up the jade pendant with both hands, and said softly: "Master, that boy is here."

Fusu didn't understand who was coming. He looked slightly unhappy and scolded: "What kid?"

"That's the person Sui Yang competed with me for the hydrangea." Su Jiao offered the jade pendant with both hands, and Fu Su took it. He looked at it, and the striking word "Baby" reminded Fu Su of that day when Xiang Zhuang and Su Jiao competed.

Maybe, these days, I have been a little confused. In fact, there are still many people in this world who can be reused, such as the person in front of me, he is Xiang Zhuang.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Fusu's heart. He suddenly thought that he could re-establish a powerful organization through the recruitment hall to compete with Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others. The Qin Kingdom was not on the verge of life and death. Thinking of this, Fusu was overjoyed.

I couldn't help but say: "Prepare a banquet. I want to meet my long-lost friends in person."

...

A soldier led Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Sheng to a guest tent in the Lishan camp. The charcoal pot had just been lit in the guest tent. Although it was not very warm, it was still much warmer than outside. Moreover, the tent

Three oil lamps were lit inside, making the tent as bright as day.

The soldiers bowed to Xiang Zhuang and said loudly: "Please wait a moment, the young master will be here soon."

Soon, the government soldiers lifted the curtain and left. Xiang Zhuang came to the table and sat down. His buttocks had just touched the soft seat. He felt sleepy. Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but yawned. At this time, Xiang Sheng looked slightly worried.

asked: "Mr. Zhuang, is it possible for us to ask Mr. Fusu for help? I always feel..."

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand, interrupted Xiang Sheng's last words, and scolded unhappily: "The big rope in Guanzhong is difficult to move forward. Do you have a way to get to Yueyang?"

"This..." Xiang Sheng was speechless and had to lower his head. At this time, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Also, don't call me Mr. Zhuang when you are out. It will reveal your identity. From now on, you can just call me Xiang Zhuang.

"

"Okay, I'll call you Xiang Zhuang." Xiang Sheng reluctantly agreed. At this time, there were rapid footsteps outside the door. Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Sheng immediately stood up, waiting for Fusu to enter the account. Soon, the curtain was opened,

The person who came in was not Fusu, but a soldier from the government. He brought two cups of tea, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Young master ordered someone to prepare a banquet. It will be here soon. General Su Jiao invites you to go first."

Have a sip of tea and rest for a while."

Xiang Zhuang sighed and shook his head. The person who came was actually not Fusu, so he nodded and smiled: "Please tell General Su Jiao to thank him for his hospitality."

The soldiers nodded and smiled, then turned and left. At this time, the tent fell into silence again. You could faintly hear the shouts and slogans coming from the Lishan construction site not far away. This is the famous Mausoleum of the First Emperor in later generations, Xiangzhuang.

I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart. According to historical records, these poor corvees numbered at most more than 700,000 people. They left their hometowns and built imperial tombs here. In the end, they were buried here, in the wilderness of servants' bones. It was so miserable.

Thinking of these poor corvees, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but feel nervous. His uncle was sent to Yueyang this time, and it was very likely that he would be sent to Lishan. If this was the case, could his uncle survive because he was already old?

Moreover, it was already the end of July. According to Qin law, the end of August would be the end of the year and the beginning of September would be the New Year. He must rescue his uncle before the new year. Otherwise, he would have to spend New Year's Eve in Xianyang, that kind of desolate

The feeling made Xiang Zhuang shudder, especially the unlucky Lu Sheng. It was not good to escape at any time, but at this time, it made Guanzhong Dasuo unable to move. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have gone to Lishan to ask Fusu for help. What's more,

What's more, it's hard to say whether Fusu can agree to help him. Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang really wants to slap Lu Sheng to death!

Just when Xiang Zhuang was secretly complaining about Lu Sheng, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the tent again. This time, the footsteps were very mixed. There should be more than ten people. Xiang Zhuang was secretly happy. This time, it must be Fusu. He couldn't help but

Standing up to greet Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Sheng saw Xiang Zhuang's actions and thought that Fu Su might be coming. He also got up and followed Xiang Zhuang. At this time, the door curtain opened and Fu Su strode in. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Goodbye, Sui Yang.

I was missing Brother Xiang, and you came."

Xiang Zhuang did not expect that Fusu would call him brother. His heart warmed and he couldn't help but kneel down on one knee and said loudly: "Xiang Zhuang pays homage to the young master."

Xiang Sheng also followed Xiang Zhuang and bowed half-kneeling: "Xiang Sheng pays homage to the young master."

Fusu helped Xiang Zhuang up, and Xiang Sheng stood up immediately. Fusu laughed and said, "We are old acquaintances, why are you so polite?"

Xiang Zhuang thanked him again, and at Fusu's invitation, he returned to the table and sat down. At this time, several soldiers brought wine and food and placed them on several tables. Fusu said with a smile: "It's late at night, prepare.

Some thin wine to satisfy brother Xiang's hunger."

"Young Master is so polite." Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing. They each raised their glasses and took a sip. After drinking the hot wine, Xiang Zhuang felt warm all over his body. Fusu also felt that the two of them were no longer as unfamiliar as before.

Then he smiled and said: "Xianyang is in turmoil at the moment. I think you have also heard that Lu Sheng has absconded and Guanzhong is in trouble. I am very worried that the prison will rise again in Guanzhong and the people will suffer misery. Brother Xiang can come to help me. I am very worried.

I'm very happy. Come, I'll toast you with another drink."

"Young master, why are you so polite?" Xiang Zhuang raised his glass in embarrassment. Although he didn't want Fusu to know that his purpose of coming was not to seek refuge with him, but since the topic had reached this level, Xiang Zhuang felt that there was no need to hide it, so he had to

He sighed: "To be honest, sir, my Xiang family was involved in a lawsuit and my uncle was arrested. I came to Guanzhong this time to save my uncle, and then I returned to Xiangxiang to plow the fields and waste my life. But Guanzhong has a big claim."

My servants and I were unable to move forward, so we had no choice but to come to seek refuge with the Young Master. Please forgive me... Young Master."

Fusu was very surprised. It turned out that he was being sentimental, but Xiang Zhuang's truth did not arouse Fusu's dissatisfaction. Instead, Fusu felt that Xiang Zhuang was an honest man and could have a close friendship. He couldn't help but laugh: "This matter

Why is it so difficult? You only need to pretend to be my personal attendant, and you can enter the palace, let alone Yueyang."

Speaking of this, Fusu deliberately stopped the topic, raised his glass, took a sip, and said: "But I also hope that Brother Xiangzhuang can consider staying in my house to work, or before I stabilize the recruitment hall.

, stay, okay?”

After a brief reflection, Xiang Zhuang knew that he had no choice but to nod and smile: "As long as the young master is willing to help, Xiang Zhuang is willing to serve the young master."

Fusu was overjoyed, raised his wine glass, and laughed and said: "I'll toast Brother Xiang again. Tomorrow I will order someone to deliver the leather armor. You can pretend to be my personal attendant and go back to Xianyang with me."
