Xianyang!
The Ancient Capital of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Xianyang had no city walls. Compared to the ancient capitals of Qi and Chu, Xianyang had roads extending in all directions. Xianyang only had an inner city and no outer city.
Qin Shihuang once said that if the enemy had already reached Xianyang, could the city wall stop them?
Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo followed Zhao Mu into Xianyang. They were shocked by the prosperity of Xianyang.
Pei County was only a small county, while Xianyang was the capital of the Great Qin State, with all kinds of buildings and pavilions.
Especially since the First Emperor liked wide roads and palaces. Xianyang Palace stood tall in Xianyang City, like a crane among chickens.
The roads in Xianyang City extended in all directions!
After leaving the Chu Country and entering the Qin Country, the road became wider and smoother.
The galloping roads connected to the Great Qin Empire, and when Xiao He saw them, he cried out in shock,""No wonder Great Qin was able to swallow the world. Just this path alone is enough to make the other six countries feel inferior.”
There were galloping roads within the Great Qin Empire, and eight horses were running side by side on these roads.
This was something that the Chu Country did not have. The Chu Country was vast and most of them were boats. Their carrying capacity was limited by the river.
Building the galloping path should be the top priority of the old land of the six states.
Even though Great Qin had already unified the six countries, most of the people of the six countries still considered themselves as people of Chu, Zhao, and Qi. Even though they were all part of Great Qin, they were still divided into different factions.
……
There were many famous places in Xianyang City.
Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and the others seemed to have opened up a new world. Xiao He had a broad mind and great ambition, so he was not fooled by the magnificent pavilions in Xianyang.
Zhongli Mei and Qin Qianqi followed Zhao Mu. After entering Xianyang, Zhongli Mei asked,""General, are you going back to the camp to rest?”
As soon as Zhongli Mei finished speaking, a carriage came from the end of the road!
Phew…
The carriage stopped on the road.
Behind the carriage were six servants.
An old man in his fifties was standing on the carriage, looking at Zhao Mu carefully…
"Mu 'er!"
This call caused the old man to cry.
? When Zhao Mu saw this old man, he immediately recognized him. He was Xia Wuqie, the father of his mother, Xia Yufang.
The doctor of the Qin royal palace. When Jing Ke tried to assassinate Qin, he used a pestle to hit Jing Ke and saved the First Emperor's life…
When Ying Zheng was a hostage in the State of Zhao, Xia Wuqie was in the residence of the King of Qin's hostage. After Ying Zheng returned to the State of Qin, Xia Wuqie brought Xia Yufang and traveled thousands of miles to the State of Qin.
"Grandfather!"
Zhao Mu jumped down from his horse and rushed to the old man.
"It really is you! Mu 'er!"
Xia Wuqi hugged Zhao Mu, tears streaming down his face."Mu 'er, where have you and your mother been all these years?”
"Grandfather, Mother and I went to a secluded paradise.”
Zhao Mu recalled Xia Yufang's last words to him before she died. He was not to tell anyone that she was dead, and he was not to tell anyone where she was buried!
"Mu 'er, where's your mother? Is she here?" The aged Xia Wuqi looked towards the army and saw a carriage with curtains. His turbid eyes instantly became much clearer.
"Grandfather, my mother is living in seclusion in the Shangri-La. She doesn't care about the affairs of the world.”
Xiao He, Zhou Bo, and Fan Kuai jumped off their horses and came before Xia Wuqi. They bowed and said,""Greetings, Old Sir!"
"Greetings, Old Sir!"
Xiao He, Zhou Bo, and Fan Kuai followed Zhao Mu to Xianyang. Although they still called Zhao Mu Little Brother Zhao, in fact, they had already recognized Zhao Mu as their lord.
However, they didn't dare to call him Lord. Xiao He had also warned Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo that there was only one Lord in this world, and that Lord was the First Emperor. They must not call anyone else Lord, or else they would be killed!
"Quickly get up, quickly get up."
Zhong Limei jumped off his horse and cupped his hands."Lord Xia!"
"Aiya, General Zhong, congratulations! Oh, no, Marquis Zhong! Greetings, Marquis An Le." Xia Wuqie was about to pay his respects when Zhongli Mei quickly supported him.""Aiya, Lord Xia is such a vile person. Lord Xia must not be like this!”
Zhong Limei didn't dare to accept Xia Wuqie's worship. He could already tell that Xia Wuqie was Zhao Mu's grandfather. How could he let General Zhao's grandfather pay his respects to him?
Zhao Mu and Zhong Limei exchanged a few words.
Zhong Limei bid farewell to Zhao Mu. He was leading a thousand cavalry to report to the camp in Guanzhong. Although he was under Zhao Mu's command, his troops had to be stationed in Guanzhong.
When Zhao Mu needed soldiers, he would dispatch them from the Guanzhong camp.
Xia Wuqi held Zhao Mu's hand and looked left and right, up and down. His eyes were filled with tears, but he was indescribably happy.
"Mu 'er is back, my Mu' er is back.”
Zhao Mu got into the carriage and returned to the Xia Mansion. Xiao He, Fan Kuai, and the others followed behind him on their horses.
……
The carriage stopped in front of a large manor. There were two stone tigers lying in front of the door. There was a front courtyard, a main courtyard, a backyard, and a side courtyard.
This manor was actually a large residence with five entrances and five exits.
Xiao He, Fan Kuai, and the others were amazed when they entered the manor. The manor was even larger than the government office of Pei County. There were hundreds of servants coming and going.
There were less than a hundred bailiffs in Pei County…
Xia Wuqi was a court pharmacist. He was responsible for treating the royal family and checking the First Emperor's diet to prevent poisoning. Naturally, he had a lot of manpower.
Among these servants were Xia Wuqi's disciples.
……
After Xia Wuqi brought Zhao Mu back to the Xia Mansion, the servants of the Xia Mansion greeted him.
"Master…"
"Master…"
Xia Wuqi took Zhao Mu's hand and entered the mansion. He turned to look at Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo and said,""Cook! Cook two pots of rice!"
"Alright."
There were many houses in the Xia Mansion. Xia Wuqi ordered people to clean up the west courtyard. Xiao He, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and the others were also settled in the west courtyard.
After Xia Wuqie settled Xiao He, Fan Kuai, and the others, he held Zhao Mu's hand and went to the main hall. Xia Wuqie looked at the waist token with the word 'Zheng' and the world's famous sword, the Great Ravager!
When Ah Fang left Xianyang, he took these two things with him.
Now, these two things had returned, but Fang was nowhere to be seen.
Xia Wuqie reached out and stroked Zhao Mu's face, as if he could see Afang's shadow on Zhao Mu.
"Mu 'er, you've suffered all these years.”
"Mu 'er, when General Meng Tian went to the Hetao, you were the one who killed the Xiongnu King in that battle, right?”
When Zhao Mu heard Xia Wuqi's question, he looked at his face. There was excitement, anticipation, and worry on his face...
He was afraid that Zhao Mu would say that he wasn't the one who beheaded the King of the Huns.
"Yes, grandfather, I did help General Meng Tian kill the Xiongnu King, Touman!”
When Xia Wuqie heard these words from Zhao Mu, he was extremely excited.
"Mu 'er, you've done a great service! The appointment is tomorrow!"
"If you really killed the Xiongnu King, you will definitely be a noble in the court tomorrow! His Majesty will definitely reward him handsomely!"
Xia Wuqi's face was filled with excitement, and his voice was much louder.
His heart was filled with pride.
The person who made the first contribution was his grandson. How could he not be proud?
From now on, he would be able to hold his head high in front of others and not be inferior to others!
Apothecary had always been a lowly profession that was looked down upon by others.
Now, Xia Wuqie finally felt a sense of pride!
Although he was an apothecary, his grandson had beheaded the Xiongnu King!
