Kuaiji County, Shanyin Prefecture.
The county governor's husband was wearing a full set of official robes. He brought a number of officials and attendants to kneel in the courtyard.
"This subject, the Governor of Kuaiji, Fu Luo, respectfully sends off His Majesty the First Emperor!”
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
Hearing the waves of incomparably respectful farewell, the Ancestral Dragon's mind was completely elsewhere. Instead, it drifted to another place.
"I wonder when that kid will come to Xianyang…"
In just a few short days, Qin Xiao had already left an extremely deep impression on this one emperor throughout the ages!
And the First Emperor himself also enjoyed this life of drinking and chatting with him every day, gaining surprises one after another...
In his opinion, this was much more interesting than reading memorials in the grand but somewhat cold Zhangtai Palace!
However, he still had to leave first.
The Great Qin Empire was a vast land, and many important matters had to be personally reviewed by the Emperor. No matter how high the status and power of others were, they could not be touched at all!
This was the authority that Ying Zheng had established for the emperor, and also the assurance that he had set up for the future Qin ruler...
"Your Majesty, it's time for us to move."
"The sky will turn dark soon, and the road will be harder to walk…"
A tall man in black armor cupped his hands and said respectfully.
He was not as strong and valiant as Meng Tian, but he was more shrewd. He was the commander of the Shadow Secret Guards, Zhang Han!
The Shadow Secret Guards were a secret army established by the First Emperor. They were responsible for gathering intelligence, assassinations, and so on.
Hearing this, the First Emperor didn't say anything more. He only nodded slightly and stepped into the ancient carriage.
A black dragon flag fluttered in the wind from the front of the car!
On this day, the emperor's carriage set off from the mountain shade of Kuaiji and headed toward the capital, Xianyang!
The people along the way saw the purple qi rising from the east and the clouds rolling and spreading. They all called it the emperor's dragon qi...
Ran!
The journey had only started for half a day. When the sun was setting and the afterglow had dissipated, a fast horse came through the formation!
The person was dressed in black armor covered in frost. He was the Shadow Secret Guard.
"Report!"
"Urgent 800 miles from the frontline!"
Hearing this, the carriages stopped in their tracks. Even the First Emperor personally lifted the curtain and frowned slightly.
News from the front line?
Before this, the news from the northern army had always been good. The Xiongnu people had long since not dared to draw their bows and go south. What problems could there be?
"Yes."
"Here!"
The Shadow Secret Guard dismounted from his horse and swiftly jogged to the front of Emperor Shi's carriage, respectfully and loudly saying,"
"Your Majesty!"
"The small Tu 'an Kingdom is afraid of the might of our Qin Emperor and wants to offer Princess Yu Shu to the marriage alliance as a sign of submission!”
"In addition, Tu 'an is willing to submit to Great Qin and become a country of father and son.”
Hearing this, the First Emperor was a little surprised.
Tu An?
Wasn't this small country outside the Great Wall destroyed by the Zhao people during the reign of King Zhaoxiang? Why did it appear again?
Li Si, who had already gotten off the carriage to wait on the Emperor, walked up to him and explained.
"Your Majesty, you might not know."
"Back then, after Tu An was destroyed by the Zhao people, he constantly resisted and finally restored the country.”
" And when His Majesty attacked and destroyed the six countries, the vassals of the Central Plains did not pay attention to him…"
" Now that Emperor Qin is unified and the four seas are peaceful, that small country naturally wants to seek protection…"
Hearing this, the First Emperor nodded.
In his opinion, since the people of the Tuan Kingdom had sent the princess over, there was no reason not to accept her!
After all, such a small country could be easily crushed by Great Qin even if it had any intentions of betraying them. It would be better to take them in as dogs and create another barrier for the northern side.
However, among the many princes, who should he betroth the princess to?
Even though Tu 'an was only a small country, if they did not treat it well, it would seem like Great Qin did not have the bearing of a large country.
" What's going on?" Li Si suddenly asked when he saw the Emperor's troubled expression.
"This old subject dares to say one more thing."
"That Qin Xiao is so young, he probably doesn't have a wife or concubine.”
Hearing this, the First Emperor's eyes lit up as if he had been enlightened.
That's right!
Didn't that Qin Xiao want to be a marquis? A princess of a small country matched with a marquis, it was also considered a match!
In this way, he had won over Qin Xiao and found a good home for Princess Tu An. It was killing two birds with one stone. It was not bad!
Thinking of this, the First Emperor could not help but laugh and pat Li Si's shoulder.
"Today, the Qing family is somewhat like the prime minister!”
When Li Si heard that, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. His emotions were complicated.
He looked like the Prime Minister today, but not at other times?
Of course, he could only brace himself and smile.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."
Since he had made up his mind, the First Emperor immediately gave an order.
"Men!"
"Order Meng Tian to set off from Xianyang immediately and lead the army north to bring Princess Tu An here!”
"If anything happens to him, I will ask him for his sins!”
"Here!"
At this moment, Qin Xiao still did not know that his marriage had already been arranged by the eternal emperor in his heart…
"Yawning!"
In the Kuaiji Manor, Qin Xiao who was packing his luggage suddenly sneezed.
This was the second time in the past few days. It seemed that it was not a good thing for his reputation to spread too far…
At this moment, the doorman came to report.
Sir, the county governor is here to visit!"
"Let him in."
"Here!"
From time to time, Kuaiji County Chief Fu Luo walked into the room with large strides and said regretfully.
"Sir is leaving now. Won't you stay for a few more days?”
As far as he was concerned, as long as a think tank like Qin Xiao could stay in Kuaiji for a day longer, his heart could completely relax for a day!
Qin Xiao only shook his head when he heard that.
"Now that the plague in Kuaiji has subsided and the reconstruction of the various places has begun, there is no point in me staying any longer.”
"Why don't we head to Xianyang as soon as possible and share the burden of the Imperial Court?”
Hearing this, Fu Luo nodded his head and said seriously.
"I have already arranged for the corn and potatoes that Sir gave me to be planted in various places. I believe that there will be a harvest this year.”
"In addition, I've already sent the blueprints for yesterday's hearse to the craftsmen. I've asked them to work day and night to send it to every village as soon as possible.”
"As for the lever method, there is no need for the prefecture to arrange it. The people have already imitated it and spread it everywhere!”
At this point, he paused and smiled in embarrassment.
"Speaking of which, the money used to do these things was drawn from Teacher's idea of the 'Benevolent Monument.'”
"I will never forget the great kindness you have shown to the people of Kuaiji!”
Finished talking, he actually rolled up his sleeves and gave Qin Xiao a great bow!
Upon seeing this, Qin Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and helped the Kuaiji County Governor up.
"Sir, there's no need to do this!"
"Since the heavens have the virtue of cherishing life, I'm just using my own ability to comply with the heavenly dao!”
At this moment, Qin Xiao could not help but have a better impression of Fu Luo.
It seemed that his evaluation of him as an upright fool was true!
However, such a person was most suitable to work under a wise ruler. There were not so many twists and turns, and he just had to do his best to follow orders…
"When I went to the government office earlier, I found that the door was tightly shut. Why is that?”
Hearing Qin Xiao change the topic, Fu Luo could not help but be stunned.
I can't possibly tell you that we're respectfully sending off His Majesty, right?
"This…the imperial court sent officials to supervise, so they closed the door and refused to receive guests.”
After laughing, he quickly changed the topic.
"My recommendation letter has already been sent to Xianyang. I think it will arrive first.”
"When the time comes, it will be more convenient for Mister to do anything!”
Hearing this, Qin Xiao was still a little puzzled, but it was not appropriate for him to ask more. He could only thank her and prepared to leave.
However!
Just as he was about to step onto the carriage, the scene on the street shocked him!
It was already night time, but the streets were filled with commoners, sending them off!
"Sir, take care!"
"Without Mister, we wouldn't be where we are today!“
"Sir is our great benefactor. We will never forget him!”
Looking at the pairs of sincere eyes, Qin Xiao could not help but feel a warmth in his heart. He became even more determined to change history!
Only by making Great Qin prosperous would these people not experience war and be able to live a good life!
Qin Xiao was not a so-called selfless saint, but under the premise of ensuring his own interests, he did not mind being a good person…
A myriad of thoughts ran through Qin Xiao's mind. After a long while, Qin Xiao regained his senses and immediately stepped onto the carriage.
"Let's go, faster."
"Go straight to the capital, Xianyang. Don't delay!”
