Several days later.
Qin Country!
Outside Xianyang City!
Ying Zheng was riding on a fine horse, galloping on the grassland.
Drive!
Drive!
Drive!
After a few rounds, Ying Zheng pulled his horse and stopped beside Prime Minister Lu Buwei.
"Prime minister, this is a really good horse!”
Ying Zheng caressed the horse's mane with great fondness.
Lu Buwei slowly walked forward and held the reins, then said with a smile,""How is it? Do you like it?"
Ying Zheng nodded heavily and said," Yes, I do. When I was in the State of Zhao, I wanted to have a horse of my own.”
"What a pity…"
"Even though I've already returned to the State of Qin, because I've been studying in Great Grandfather's residence for a long time, I don't have the time to raise and drive horses…"
Lu Buwei smiled and said calmly,""So what? I'll give this horse to you!”
"In addition, I will arrange for a special groom to help you take care of it.”
"When you have nothing to do, you can go out and walk your horse like today.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face was filled with surprise as he said,""Really?"
"Naturally."
"When have I ever lied to Young Master?”
Having received Lu Buwei's affirmation, Ying Zheng rode his horse out excitedly.
"That's great! I also have my own horse!"
Looking at Ying Zheng's dashing figure, a meaningful smile appeared on Lu Buwei's face.
From time to time, Wang Wan walked up quickly and whispered,"Prime minister, the Han spies have sent news.”
Hearing this, Lu Buwei furrowed his brows and said in a low voice,""You stay here and take good care of Young Master. If anything happens, I will hold you responsible!”
"Yes!"
Then, Lu Buwei hurriedly got into the carriage and headed straight for the Prime Minister's Mansion.
……
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
Prime Minister Lu Buwei hurried to the main hall.
"Your subordinate greets the Prime Minister."
"Yes."
Lu Buwei walked in a hurry and sat on the main seat. He said with a deep expression,""What news did Han send?”
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, King Jiu of Han intends to send the water engineer Zheng to Qin.”
"State of Zheng?"
Lu Buwei murmured and said with a puzzled expression,""Who is this person? I have never heard of him.”
"Prime minister, the State of Zheng is a master of the Han Nation.”
"There are many difficult to complete ditch projects in the Han country, and they are all done by this person.”
"Oh?"
Lu Buwei's eyes lit up, and he said happily,""Cai! It was so colorful! Haha ~"
"I didn't expect that Han Wangjiu would send such a genius to the State of Qin!”
"No matter what, we have to keep such a talent in the Qin country and use him!”
At this point, Lu Buwei suppressed the joy in his heart and said,""No, wait!"
"Why would Han Wangjiu suddenly send such a genius to the Qin Country? Do you know why the State of Zheng went to the Qin Country?”
The servant shook his head and cupped his hands."Returning to the Prime Minister, I heard that the State of Zheng seemed to have received orders from King Jiu of Han to help the State of Qin build a ditch.”
Lu Buwei slowly stood up and paced back and forth in front of the main seat.
After a while, Lu Buwei suddenly burst out laughing.
"I've thought of it! This Han Wangjiu wanted to use the State of Zheng to build the canal to delay the people, financial resources, and time of the State of Qin.”
"Prime Minister, if that's the case, we can't let Han Wangjiu have his way!”
Zheng Huo took a step forward and hurriedly advised.
Lu Buwei couldn't help but glance at Zheng Huo and said,""What do you know!"
"His surname is Zheng, and yours is also Zheng! Let's see what he's capable of."
Hearing Lu Buwei's words, Zheng Huo lowered his head in shame.
"If the State of Zheng really has the ability, what's the harm in staying in the State of Qin to repair the canal!”
"The State of Zheng's canal construction will benefit hundreds of generations!"
"At that time, our Qin country will have a vast expanse of fertile land and abundant grain. Who can stop the six countries from the east?”
……
Marquis Che Manor.
As the afternoon approached, Ying Zheng finally returned to his mansion, satisfied.
"Little brat!"
"Come in!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the main hall. Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart tightened, and he walked towards the main hall with great anxiety.
"Great-grandfather."
Ying Zheng lowered his head nervously, not daring to meet Ying Yong's eyes.
"Where have you been all morning?"
"Great-grandfather, I went out to practice horsemanship.”
"Horsemanship?"
Ying Yong murmured, then slowly stood up and said,""Where did you get the horse?"
"It…it was given to me by the Prime Minister."
"Great-grandfather, that is a really good horse. I don't know how to take care of it, but he even specially sent someone to take care of it.”
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Ying Yong's face as he asked,""Where is the horse?"
"In the Prime Minister's estate."
"Bring him back! Since it's a gift to you and you like it, it's fine to leave it in Marquis Che's residence.”
"Really?"
Ying Zheng cried out in surprise and disbelief,""Thank you, Great Grandfather."
"Then Grand Sun will go to the Prime Minister's Estate and bring the horses back now!”
Just as Ying Zheng was about to run away, Ying Yong shouted,""Little brat, your tail is on fire! What's the hurry?"
"Go and review today's homework first.”
"As for the horses, I will ask Ying Xiong to retrieve them for you.”
"Yes."
Ying Zheng cupped his hands and bowed with a slightly disappointed expression on his face, then left first.
"Ying Xiong!"
Ying Xiong walked up, bowed, and said,"Great-grandfather."
"Go, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and bring the horse back for Ying Zheng.”
"Yes!"
Ying Xiong cupped his hands and bowed, then said with a deep face,"Great-grandfather, in the eyes of my great-grandson, Lu Buwei's action seems to be to gain Ying Zheng's favor.”
"Do you need…?"
"Ha!"
" Lu Buwei, that little brat." Ying Yong chuckled and said," Even though he's the Prime Minister of a country, he still can't change his temperament as a businessman.”
"Do you think Lu Buwei is just trying to win Zheng 'er's favor?”
Hearing this, Ying Xiong looked at Ying Yong in confusion.
"Zheng 'er has the highest chance of becoming Great Qin's future ruler!”
"If Zheng 'er is willing to listen to him, then his position in the Great Qin Prime Minister will be unshakable!”
When Ying Yong said this, Ying Xiong's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly,"" How dare Lu Buwei!"
"Is he trying to make Ying Zheng his future puppet?”
"Him!" Ying Yong shook his head and said. I don't have the guts!"
"This time, you are going to replace Ying Zheng, so Lu Buwei should know what I mean!”
"However, there are some things that Ying Zheng really needs to learn from Lu Buwei.”
"Three thousand hanger-ons. It will still take some effort to stir them up.”
Ying Xiong's expression changed slightly. After pondering for a while, he cupped his hands and said,"Yes!"
"Grand Sun will immediately go and handle this matter.”
