"It's not a plea, it's an exchange." Zhao Ping said, "What the king is really angry about is that the Western Wei Dynasty killed Jiang and King Bao of Wei burned the grain. The former can't be revived. The king should also tell the Huns that they treated Wei harshly.

People, with the nature of the Xiongnu, life in the Western Wei Dynasty is worse than death, so it can be regarded as repayment. As for the latter, I can help the king overcome this difficulty in exchange for Wei Zhe's life."

After Zhao Ping finished speaking, he clapped the melon in his hand and said, "I hope the king will trust me!"

Zhao Ping analyzed Zi Ying's heart point by point and found it to be extremely simple. Zi Ying couldn't find any reason to question and kill him.

Xin Zhui is still young and may not be able to assist in farming, so now he has to rely on Zhao Ping, who can grow the "Aventurine melon" that has been recorded in history.

"If there is a severe drought next year and there is a shortage of grain, what should Marquis Dongling do?" Ziying asked.

Zhao Ping put down the melon and took out a few whole grains of grain from his sleeves, "This matter is not as serious as the king feared. King Bao of Wei originally wanted to burn the grain with wine, but later seeing the power of the king's strange things, he used ink charcoal instead.

All the food outside is destroyed, but most of the food inside can still be sown next year."

Ziying took the millet grains and smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke still lingering on them. He had been shocked by the force of the explosion, but now when he thought about it, he realized that there was just too much movement outside the "mountain" and that there should be nothing going on inside.

"Fortunately, he didn't use wine, otherwise the inside and outside would be cooked." Ziying was a little scared, "But even so, the grain production next year needs to be twice that of this year. Is it possible for the Marquis of Dongling to do it?"

"I have been working as a farmer for many years, so I should be able to gain something. But I still need the king's help." Zhao Ping replied.

"What do you mean by this?"

"There are three prosperous lands in the land of Kyushu, Guanzhong, Qidi, and Bashu. The king alone occupies two of them, which can slightly ease the situation next year. At this moment, the Qin Dynasty can no longer easily mobilize troops. If I want to fulfill the king's orders, I need to use grains to experiment.

Only then. To the south of the river, you can harvest two harvests in one year. If the king can get the king of the south to allow me to go and start working on it, the chance of winning will be greater."

"King of the South?"

Ziying thought for a moment, Linjiang was destroyed, Xiang Yu and Yingbu would never let him have his way, Zhao Tuo blocked the mountains and rivers, and his thoughts were unknown. Only Wu Rui's Baiyue people were left...

If it were Wu Rui before, Ziying would only need to reward Zhao Ping with some money, and then he could easily go to Hengshan to do it.

But my daughter died due to a conspiracy. I am afraid that Hengshan today cannot easily allow outsiders to act rashly in Hengshan.

"We can only wait and see if Mao Qiao and Mao Ping can talk to Wu Rui next to each other," Ziying thought to himself.

"Does the king have a plan?" Zhao Ping suddenly said.

"Maybe there is a way." Ziying couldn't guarantee it.

Zhao Ping nodded lightly, "If this is the case, the king will let Wei Zhe go today, and I will go home and wait for the king's news."

"Wait a minute!"

Ziying's tone was cold, and the old farmer felt a sense of fear all his life.

"If I let Wei Che go today, what will happen if the Marquis of Dongling escapes from Qin in the future? Even if I don't escape, I won't be able to do anything next year, and I will really lose all my money." Ziying sneered.

"This... since the king is a servant, he shouldn't be so suspicious." Zhao Ping replied.

"It is indispensable to guard against others. Your two old friends have really taught me a lot." Ziying said with an evil smile, "Besides... Can you tell me today whether the Marquis of Dongling is assisting Chen Sheng in his rebellion against Qin?"

Zhaoping seemed to have guessed that Ziying would get into trouble, so he didn't panic.

"This is the reason why I brought the melon." Zhaoping Gaojue held the melon in his hand, "I want to use this melon in exchange for my life today. I wonder if the king will agree?"

Ziying was startled when he heard this. He grabbed the old farmer's clothes and pulled him up, "Sure enough...it's you! Old man!"

"Yes, I am." Zhao Ping didn't want to quibble.

Originally guarding the mausoleum of King Zhuang Xiang, he followed Chen Sheng while the Qin Dynasty was in chaos, and later assisted Xiao He. If he was not still useful, Ziying would have killed him immediately.

"Your Majesty, can I ask you to defend yourself?" Zhao Ping asked anxiously.

"Say!" Ziying let go and threw it to the ground.

Zhao Ping sat on the ground, holding his chest and gasping, "The reason why the king is so angry right now is simply because he thinks that my old friends, the three hermits, are deceiving the world and stealing their reputation. If it were an ordinary person, the king would not be like this."

"Perhaps so." Ziying said with a smile, "Today the three of you really let me see what a hermit really looks like."

"Hermits are like this, but the king thinks highly of them." Zhao Ping sighed, "The earliest hermit in the world was Xu You, the teacher of Yao, Shun, and Yu. He did not become a king and became a hermit, but he set an example and spread the virtues of the world. Boyi

Shuqi

He went into seclusion because he was dissatisfied with King Wu's attack on Zhou and preferred not to eat Zhou millet. After that, various hermits either disliked the secular world or sought rewards from the king... They went into seclusion for certain purposes only. This is what a hermit means.

Original appearance!”

Ziying thought for a moment, it sounded like he was smearing a group of people to protect himself, but it seemed to be true.

Although Wei Che was in hiding, he left a message to Zhang Liang, Wei Liao was in hiding, and he taught Han Xin his skills, Zhao Ping was in hiding, but he secretly assisted Xiao He... They all disliked the complexity of the world, but were unwilling to be completely unknown in the world.

"Two old friends went into seclusion early. People in the world thought that the two of them had turned against the First Emperor. Even if the rebels knew about it, it would be fine. But I was guarding the tomb of King Zhuang Xiang. If the rebels knew about it, I would only die.

.With the tempers of Xiang Yu, Yingbu, and Wei Wangbao, they will definitely find me and kill them. I am a common man, so for

In order to protect himself, he kept his name and followed Chen Sheng. He also knew that Chen Sheng would not succeed in his great mission, so he thought it would be okay to follow him. Unexpectedly, the Qin soldiers were vulnerable at that time, and they were defeated by me. Fortunately, Da Qin sent out

By defeating the young master Zhang Han and resolving the temporary crisis of the Qin Dynasty, I will not bear too much infamy."

Zhao Ping sighed while talking, and Zi Ying deeply felt the helplessness of Da Qin and Qin's officials during the past three years.

"At that time, rebellions were everywhere and it became a serious problem. No one could have imagined that there was still a chance of survival." Ziying sighed.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Zhao Ping knelt down and kowtowed.

"I won't kill you today. I'll save your life until next year. But Dongling Marquis needs someone to defend him, and I will send someone to help." Ziying was kind and powerful. "Leading troops and planning are not Dongling's.

Director Hou, just be a Hou who only cares about farm work for the rest of your life."

"Promise." Zhao Ping knew what he meant and had no choice but to obey.

Ziying felt a little relieved and looked back at Wei Zhe in the pool of blood. The original murderous intention was gone. Letting the famous "master" be ruined was more serious than killing him.

Wei Zhe was trembling all over, his eyes were glassy, ​​and his mentality had completely collapsed.

Zhao Ping stood up, ran to his side, and helped him up together with Wei Liao.

"Your Majesty won't kill Wei Zhe?" Wei Liao asked, still feeling uneasy. In the past, Ziying still listened to his teachings, but now he is not someone who can give advice easily.

"He has knelt down and begged for mercy. I will keep my promise." Ziying said with a smile, "These people can only die for him."

The major event was almost over, and Mi Xing, the criminal who caused the war, was still in the city, and Ziying was too lazy to waste any more time dealing with this group of people.

"Commander Chen Xi can lead his army to kill them at will, but he must stay away from Xianyang." Ziying ordered, "Remember...surround three towers."

"Nuo!" Chen Xi knelt down to respond, as if he was being pardoned. Such chops made him extremely intolerable.

Ziying took Chongda, Chen He and thousands of soldiers straight to the house with carved balustrades and painted buildings in Mixing.

As we walked far away, the soaring flames were wrapped in black smoke and shot straight into the sky. The smell of blood in the air was no lighter than outside Xianyang.

The army rushed forward quickly. The buildings of Chu Feng in the past had turned into black coal, crackling and collapsing, and they tightly suppressed the Chu people who had already committed suicide.

Ziying guessed that this was Mi Xing's choice, but it actually came true.

If there hadn't been too many changes in this battle, Mi Xin would have become a man who could cause chaos in the country. If he had not appeared at the city gate and the generals had not betrayed him, even if King Bao of Wei was defeated, he would have been able to escape unscathed.

"Do you hate me so much that you can't help but stand on the top of the city and show off your power?" Ziying shook his head and smiled, "Xiang Yu didn't conquer Xianyang, so you must be very angry, right?"

"You can be considered a hero if you are so heroic." Zhongda sighed.

"Bullshit hero." Chen He smiled disdainfully, "Even if tens of thousands of Chu people don't have sharp blades, if they are hit with a fatal blow, we will still suffer. If we commit suicide like this, we are just cowards."

Ziying secretly smiled, it seemed that after the ambush from all sides, Chen He who personally led the troops did not take a look at Xiang Yu.

Seeing that no one answered, Chen He's smile suddenly disappeared, "If Kong Min were still here, he would definitely blame me..."

"Don't think too much, the king will definitely attack the Lu family and avenge Kong Min." Chongda comforted him.

"Kong Min? After Confucius?" Ziying murmured, inexplicably getting connected with Qi Di again.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be writing on the pillar!" Chongda interrupted Ziying's thinking.

Ziying turned around and looked at a pillar that was about to collapse surrounded by the corpses of more than a dozen Chu people. On it were written bird seals that were still dripping with blood.

"The king will return to destroy Qin?" Chen He repeated in a low voice.

"King? Xiang Yu?" Ziying smiled helplessly, "Xiang Yu has too many people to pacify, and it is impossible to go straight to Qin. The Qin Dynasty will not easily mobilize troops next year, I am afraid it will disappoint them."

"It doesn't matter if it comes, the king can just kill him. King Sima Xin of Sai, King Qian of Zhao, King Jie of Wei, I don't care if there is another King of Chu." Chongda smiled flatteringly.

A thought flashed through Ziying's mind, and a person's figure appeared in a trance, and that person's name was about to be remembered.

"I came too late to save Qin, I hope your Majesty will punish you!!"

The voice was so reasonable and resolute that Ziying couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

Turning around and looking, Lu Matong was kneeling on the ground and holding his hands.

"Lu... Aiqing?" Ziying was surprised by Lu Matong's dramatic change in temperament, "Where are the other commanders?"

"The plank road in Ziwu Valley is difficult to navigate and has been in ruins for some time. Commander Li Xinhan has led his army back to camp."

"It doesn't matter, that's fine. I won't do anything wrong by going to war in person, and I will do nothing wrong by loving you." Ziying smiled, stepped forward and patted Lu Matong on the shoulder, feeling an inexplicable sense of distance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Matong stood up, a smile returning to his resolute face, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lingfen and Mr. Han have also returned from Feiqiu, and they should be in Xianyang Palace now."

"Mr. Lingfen should have known that he could not take the city and defend it. He wanted to protect the land of Longxing in the Qin Dynasty, and then counterattack after receiving reinforcements." Seeing his expression, Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is Captain Mao?"

Mao Qiao is the most important person in the current situation.

"Mao Qiao? He has returned to Hengshan." Lu Matong said with a smile, "He heard about the changes in the Hengshan country and sneaked away. Commander Li Xin did not notice."
