Red lanterns and red silk ribbons were hung in the Zhao Residence at the foot of Mount Shu.
Everyone in the village was happily helping Zhao Mu with various preparations.
The date of the wedding had already been set.
Three days later.
It was an auspicious day personally chosen by Li Zheng's grandfather.
It had been more than two years, almost three years.
Zhao Mu had fulfilled his promise to Yu Tong. They could finally get married.
Meng Tian was also busy. Many things in the village were different from the big families in Xianyang. Meng Tian was very happy.
He was very happy and relaxed.
In Xianyang, it was too difficult and rare to have such a life where one didn't need to worry about anything or speculate about anything.
Only here could he be completely at ease. He didn't have to think so much and could laugh when he needed to.
Three days passed in a flash.
The day of their wedding arrived.
Since Zhao Mu did not have any family members, he let the chief's grandfather represent them.
The people of the Yuyuan clan had all come down from Mount Shu and were drinking with the villagers. They were very happy.
The climax of the wedding was that even the county magistrate and the county governor sent gifts.
Even the Crown Prince Ying Zheng and King Zhuang Xiang of Qin had sent gifts.
Zhao Mu's wedding had attracted the attention of so many people. It could be said that it was beyond the expectations of many people, but it also made more people realize the high status of Zhao Mu.
The gift that King Zhuang Xiang of Qin gave Zhao Mu made him the happiest. He gave the village to Zhao Mu as a fief.
From now on, all of the village's products would not be given to Great Qin; they would be given to Zhao Mu.
This was the promise Zhao Mu had made to the village chief's grandfather, which allowed the village to be exempted from taxes and labor.
Zhao Mu was not qualified to be granted a fief with his current title, but King Zhuang Xiang wanted to win Zhao Mu over. Moreover, it was just a small village, so he would not be reluctant to do so.
Zhao Mu personally expressed his gratitude to King Zhuang Xiang and Crown Prince Ying Zheng.
The wedding lasted until midnight before everyone dispersed.
On the night of their wedding night, Zhao Mu and Yu Tong looked at each other and smiled. They were finally together.
The happiness he felt was something that could not be exchanged for no matter how high his rank was.
The next day, Zhao Mu woke up late, which was rare. He did not train either. Instead, he hugged Yu Tong and slept until noon.
After Meng Tian finished practicing her martial arts, she looked at Zhao Mu's tightly shut door and shook her head. A trace of envy actually rose in her heart.
Then, he left the manor and went to chat with the villagers to relieve his boredom.
The following days were the most relaxed and happiest days since Zhao Mu came to this world. Every day, he was accompanied by Yu Tong and traveled around the mountains and rivers. He was very comfortable.
Until King Zhuang Xiang's decree arrived, allowing Zhao Mu and Meng Tian to return to Xianyang.
"It seems that the king's body is not very good.”
Meng Tian said.
Zhao Mu nodded. His and Meng Tian's holiday had not ended yet, and King Zhuang Xiang had already ordered them to return to Xianyang. The only explanation was that King Zhuang Xiang's health was indeed not good.
They needed to hurry back and prepare to protect the Crown Prince Ying Zheng.
In fact, the next night, when the red-haired Zhao Gao came to Zhao Mu's residence, Zhao Mu and Meng Tian were even more convinced of their guesses.
Zhao Gao handed over the secret letter from Crown Prince Ying Zheng.
One of them was asking Zhao Mu to return to Xianyang as soon as possible. From Ying Zheng's words, it was enough to see that he was very anxious.
"Let's go now!" Zhao Mu said.”
"I will return with Milord." Zhao Gao bowed.
Zhao Mu nodded and asked Yu Tong to pack some things.
However, he let Yu Tong go to Mount Shu to bid farewell to Yu Zheng.
He bade farewell to the Village Chief's grandfather and asked Xi and Bei to stay in the village to protect the village. There were no eyes on the battlefield. Although Zhao Mu had protected Xi and Bei in the past, he could not guarantee that he would be able to protect their lives in the future.
Moreover, this village really needed people to stay.
As people who had been on the battlefield and trained by Zhao Mu, Joy and Sorrow were the most suitable candidates.
Zhao Mu's group of four were all people with strong physiques, so their speed was naturally extremely fast.
What Zhao Mu didn't expect was that Zhao Gao's martial arts skills were not weaker than Meng Tian's. In fact, he was even stronger.
This Zhao Gao was indeed not simple.
However, at present, he and Zhao Gao were both on Ying Zheng's side. As long as Zhao Gao did not make a move against him, he would naturally not become Zhao Gao's enemy just because of what happened in the history books, and weaken his own side.
Because the four of them were very fast, they only took ten days to reach Xianyang.
He brought Yu Tong back to his residence and let her have a good rest.
Zhao Mu, Meng Tian, and Zhao Gao went to the Crown Prince's residence.
Ying Zheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Mu and Meng Tian return.
"I feel guilty for letting the general's rest day end early.”
Zhao Mu said," Your Highness, you must be joking. This matter is extremely important. This general's rest is naturally nothing."”
"Your Highness, what happened?" Meng Tian asked.”
"According to the imperial physician, he might not be able to last until May," said Ying Zheng.”
Zhao Mu and Meng Tian looked at each other in disbelief. Although King Zhuang Xiang's health was not very good, under the care of the imperial physician, there was no reason for him to be unable to endure so quickly.
Zhao Mu frowned. He came from a later generation. Although he did not know much about history, King Zhuang Xiang of Qin died three years after he took the throne. This matter was confusing.
In addition, there was no lack of rumors about Lu Buwei having an affair with Zhao Ji. After King Zhuang Xiang fell ill, he took the opportunity to take his life.
Zhao Mu could not help but suspect Lu Buwei.
However, it was obvious that there would not be any evidence left behind. Otherwise, Lu Buwei would not have been in power for so many years.
Moreover, these were all unofficial conjectures. From the last time Zhao Mu returned to the army, he saw King Zhuang Xiang at Zhangtai Palace. King Zhuang Xiang's health was indeed very poor, and there was no lack of possibility that he had suddenly fallen ill.
At the moment, neither of these two possibilities was important. What was important was that Ying Zheng must succeed the throne smoothly.
"Your Highness, there's still about one and a half months before May. Minister Lyu supports Your Highness 'succession. Your Highness doesn't need to do anything now. You just need to wait quietly.”
Zhao Mu said.
At present, Ying Zheng was the most advantageous heir, and there would be almost no accidents. As long as they did not panic, there would be no problems.
