It was still that small courtyard, the courtyard where Qin Mu and the rest had stayed to avoid the pursuit of the Zhao army. After Qin Mu was released from prison, he returned and renovated the place.
Concubine Zhao and Dong 'er had set up a flowerbed and vegetable field in the western corner of the courtyard. Every spring and summer, the courtyard would be filled with the fragrance of flowers, causing passersby to linger.
As for that old locust tree, it was still there. There had been a few autumns and winters, and Qin Mu thought that it wouldn't be able to endure it and would be buried by the snow. He never expected that after the cold winter, the old tree would grow a few new spots of green and stubbornly live until now.
Everything was fine. It was quiet and beautiful. There were not many worries and worries.
"It's just that this comfortable life is about to end.”
Qin Mu stood under the old pagoda tree, and there was still a hint of afterglow in the sky.
The evening breeze blew against his face, causing the black hair on Qin Mu's temples to flutter. The golden leaves danced in the air, flying out of the courtyard and Handan under the guidance of the wind, all the way to the capital of the Qin Kingdom in the west.
Qin Country's capital, Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.
In a corner of Zhangtai Palace, the old King of Qin stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were no longer as sharp and eye-catching as they had been in the past. They were a little cloudy, and his face had aged a lot. His hair had all turned white, and his body was hunched.
Now, this iron-blooded and valiant King of Qin had also reached his twilight years, and the yellow soil was about to sink into his forehead.
"Your Majesty, you should return to the palace. It's autumn frost outside. Be careful not to catch a cold.”The old temple guard said in a low voice.
The old king of Qin glanced at the old monk and said in a hoarse voice,""Do you also think that I am old?"
With a thud, the old monk knelt on the ground and said in fear,""Your Majesty is the king of my Qin country, and you must also be the king of the world. Your Majesty, ten thousand years!”
"Hmph, look at how scared you are. I'm just asking. I won't eat you.”The old King of Qin shook his head and smiled. His turbid eyes looked at the setting sun in the west.
"Recently, I have been having that strange dream. In the dream, there was a little doll. No, there should be two of them, right? Sigh, I can't remember clearly. It seems that I'm really old.”
"It's just that I'm not willing. I haven't realized my ambition yet. I'm not willing to be buried in the yellow soil like this. Cough cough cough-"
The old King of Qin coughed, his face turning paler and his eyes bloodshot.
"Heaven! Can you let me, Ying Ji, live a few more years?”
"Five years! I only need five years!"
The old King of Qin shouted towards the sky, his voice full of pleading and powerlessness.
"Your Majesty, you should return to the palace." The old monk looked at the old king of Qin pleadingly.
The old King of Qin kept coughing, and the old temple staff quickly supported him.
"Go back, let Meng Ao and Zichu come to see me tomorrow.”
"Yes!"
The next morning, after Ying Zheng finished washing up, he immediately came to Qin Mu's room.
Bang bang bang!
"Big brother! Get up quickly, Teacher is going to give us a lesson today!”
Qin Mu, who was drooling from sleep, was instantly woken up. He said angrily,""What are you arguing about? Wake me up when class starts!”
Then, Qin Mu stuffed his head into the blanket.
Bang bang bang!
"Brother, you always say that, but every time, it's always Teacher who comes personally.”Ying Zheng said helplessly.
"Get up quickly! Brother!"
Ying Zheng kept knocking on the door, making Qin Mu angry and annoyed. He had no choice but to get up.
"Stop knocking!"
Qin Mu opened the door and yawned, looking very sleepy.
"That Shen Yue is too much. It won't kill me to not go to class for a day, but it will kill me to sleep in for a day.”Qin Mu curled his lips.
"Cough cough-"
A deep cough rang out, and Qin Mu instantly quivered. He looked at Shen Yue, who was beside Ying Zheng, looking at him with a dark expression.
"S-sir, why did you come personally? Haha.”Qin Mu said awkwardly.
Shen Yue glared fiercely at Qin Mu and waved the whip in his hand. He said coldly,""I'll give you the time it takes an incense stick to burn to pack up. After that, I'll start teaching!”
Shen Yue left with his hands behind his back.
"Alright! Take care, sir!" Qin Mu had a smile on his face. When Shen Yue walked far away, his smile instantly disappeared.
"Puff!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but burst into laughter. He pointed at Qin Mu and said,""Brother, your face is faster than flipping a book.”
"Get lost!"
Qin Mu kicked Ying Zheng away and closed the door with a bang.
After a simple wash, Qin Mu walked out of his room. At this moment, the sun had just emerged from the clouds, and the warm rays of the sun shone on his face.
"The weather is really good!" Qin Mu stretched his body and then released the force in the next second, looking like he was powerless.
"Hurry up and come over!"
Under the roof opposite him, Shen Yue pointed at Qin Mu and berated him.
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Why are you rushing me?" Qin Mu walked over slowly.
Shen Yue's face twitched. He wanted to slap this lazy guy to death. However, he remembered that this kid's martial cultivation had reached the seventh grade, and he had a strength of 4,000 pounds, which was far beyond his own, so he endured it.
There was a room that was neither too big nor too small. There were five bookshelves and four small tables inside. The morning sun shone in through the window. Strands of dust floated in the air, illuminating the room.
This was the classroom where Qin Mu, Ying Zheng, and Dong 'er usually attended lessons.
The moment Qin Mu entered the classroom, he didn't know why, but he felt a wave of sleepiness wash over him, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
"Ah Mu is always like this. He falls asleep as soon as he enters the classroom.”Dong 'er knelt on the table and covered her mouth when she saw Qin Mu's expression.
"Good morning, Dong 'er." Qin Mu casually greeted him and sat down on the seat. He laid on the table and instantly fell asleep.
Ying Zheng, who had already sat down, shook his head helplessly when he saw Qin Mu.
