Chapter 309 Back to Hometown
But even so, Qu Nian didn't want to go back to Xianyang. Staying here is at least safe and safe. So when Xie Changhong came to him, he was still a little worried and said, "Don't stay for two more days?"
Xie Changhong was indeed anxious and said, "The King has only given us four days. The messenger has been in nearly two days. We only have more than two days left. If we don't rush back, we will all be beheaded."
Qu Nian's heart sank and said, "My father is so anxious to kill me?"
Xie Changhong comforted him and said, "The king should not kill the young master!"
Qu Nian said in a daze: "Why?"
Xie Changhong whispered: "I wrote a secret letter to the king, and the letters were all for helping the young master! If the king wanted to kill you, he would probably not let you go back to Xianyang. After all, you are also a young master. Public execution will also damage the royal family's face."
Qu Nian said: "What did you say in the letter?"
Although Xie Changhong was anxious, in order to appease him, he carefully explained how he made sentences and said to him. Finally, he said: "I am thinking about the young master!"
Qu Nian said in a daze: "Aren't you the prince's person? Why do you want to speak for me?"
Xie Changhong whispered: "I am the king's man. I only do things for the king and Qin State, and only do things that are beneficial to the king. I do not form a clique with any prince for personal gain. Now that the prince has died, it is meaningless to kill you again. To be honest, if it were the past, the king might really kill you, but you have been reborn and helped Qin State bring back the Jiaohun Jianjian. To be honest, the value of this Jiaohun Jianjianjian is completely higher than that of the prince, which is considered to be a match for merits and demerits. Moreover, the king cares very much about you now. I can see from the court that he hopes you can return to the country, not to kill you. After all, you are also his biological son, and blood is thicker than water!"
Qu Nian said: "But the prince is also my biological brother, and he is also blood-soluble in water. Why did he kill me?"
Xie Changhong said: "Brothers are different from fathers and sons. The young master may not have been a father and will not understand the father's feelings for his children. When the young master becomes a father, he will understand what father's love is like a mountain!"
Qu Nian said in a daze: "You speak so nicely, can't you just want to trick me back, right?"
Xie Changhong said: "Young Master, now the king ordered you to go back, and no one can stop you. Do you think I still need to lie to you?"
Qu Nian nodded and said, "Okay! Just say good things to you for me. I can keep you hostage me. If I get married in Qin, I will still use you."
The reason why Xie Changhong helped him say good things in his heart was to make the punishment for his merits. After all, the prince is dead, and it is useless to curry favor with him. It is better to curry favor with a living person. Moreover, as long as the person in front of him is not dead, the future is limitless, and he is likely to take the position of the prince. At this time, he said happily: "Thank you, young master!"
Qu Nian sighed and said, "I hope you are right. Then let's go."
Xie Changhong hurriedly said, "Okay, then let's leave now, everything has been arranged."
This time when returning to Xianyang, Xie Changhong did not bring too many troops, but he did not bring too few. He brought a total of 3,000 troops. After all, this was on the territory of Qin. In order to escort one person, it was a mobilization of troops!
Three thousand people ran all the way day and night, and there was basically no stay except for the occasional rest on the road. Qu Nian also cooperated with them. After all, things have reached this point. It is a blessing, not a disaster, or a disaster, and it is a disaster.
From the day when the King of Qin issued the order, he finally arrived in Xianyang at noon on the fourth day.
Looking at the city tower of Xianyang City, Xie Changhong finally let out a long sigh. His heart was as heavy as a thousand pounds these days, and he did not dare to relax for a moment, for fear of a change. Until now, he knew that his mission had been completed! No matter how many changes were, it was not his business.
Qu Nian looked at the city tower of Xianyang City, but was filled with mixed feelings. This place seemed to have been in his dream. It seemed to have been here, but it seemed to have never been there. Everything was so familiar and so strange. Although his mind still carries the memories of the past, he didn't have any feelings for it, because his mother had long died. As for his father, hehe, he would never see him in his life and would not have any miss.
As soon as they stopped at the city gate, a general seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He drove his horse to greet him, looking at Xie Changhong and said, "General Xie, has Mr. Qunian returned?"
Xie Changhong pointed to Qu Nian beside him and said, "Aren't you standing here?"
After all, Qu Nian left Xianyang at the age of thirteen, and his appearance had changed drastically. Moreover, he was also the most down-and-out young man in Xianyang back then, and few people recognized him, so it was reasonable that the general could not recognize him.
The general hurriedly clasped his fists at Qu Nian and said, "The last general Wanting has seen the young master!"
Qu Nian hurriedly said, "No...you're welcome! General Wan, are you waiting for me?"
Wan Ting nodded and said, "That's right! The king has an order. If the prince arrives in Xianyang, he will immediately go to the palace to meet him. The prince is waiting for the prince in the palace, and there must be no mistakes!"
Qu Nian smiled and said, "General Wan, ask you something, should my father set up a banquet in the palace waiting for me, or to put a knife and axe wait for me? Does he mean to kill me? Anyway, I can't escape. If you follow me, I'm better prepared."
Wan Ting said: "Young Master forgives your sins. I will not know anything about what you asked!"
Qu Nian sighed: "You generals are so straightforward and don't know how to adapt at all."
Wan Ting said, "Young Master, forgive me! That young master, please follow me to the palace now!"
Qu Nian said: "Okay then!"
Xie Changhong asked at this time: "Have you uploaded me to the palace?"
Wanting said, "No! You are waiting outside the city."
Xie Changhong said: "Okay!"
Qu Nian drove out and followed Wanting to the city. Wanting also brought hundreds of people, sandwiched them between them, and walked towards the city in a mighty way.
After all, Qin State is rich and strong, and Xianyang is naturally very prosperous. Compared with Linzi, it is not inferior. The streets are wide and there are many shops. Because it is spring, the weather is pleasant, and the streets are full of traffic and flowing endlessly.
Qunian originally thought that if he returned to Xianyang one day, the people of Xianyang would definitely throw rotten eggs and cabbage gangs at him, which made him very nervous when he entered the city, but now he found that he was worried! The people of Xianyang didn't know that he was back at all. Although he was riding a tall horse now, he was rushing around and was more conspicuous, and the people would look at him more often, but no one knew him. Even if someone knew him, no one dared to throw rotten eggs at him.
After a while, I arrived at the gate of the palace of Qin State. There was also a father-in-law holding a whisk in his hand, waiting for them!
Wan Ting said at this time: "Young Master, Eunuch Ma will take you into the palace, I will escort you here!"
Qu Nian nodded and said, "Then you go back!"
Wan Ting said: "Young Master enters the palace and the last general will go back!"
Qu Nian drove his horse forward two steps, looked at the Ma Eunuch and said, "Then let's go to the palace!"
Eunuch Ma said with his waist, "Please dismount!"
Qu Nian jumped off the horse and said, "There are so many rules here."
At this time, Eunuch Ma reached out and made a "please" posture and said, "Please follow me!"
Qu Nian nodded and walked towards the palace gate with him. A few eunuchs followed behind him. Just listening to their faint footsteps, you know that they are all masters.
The palaces of each country are similar, and they are basically the palaces of the emperor, but they are slightly smaller in scale. As soon as you enter the door, there is a square, and there are palaces in each country, and in the distance there is a magnificent palace group.
Apart from the scattered guards on duty, there were no outsiders in the square. The afternoon sun shone on the square, full of laziness.
Although he was back to his own home, Qu Nian was still nervous. If it were an ordinary person's home, his son had not returned home for seven years and suddenly came back. What an exciting scene. Unfortunately, he was born in the imperial family. Looking at the tall palace walls around him, it was destined that the father and son would not meet this time. There may be some people who eat poisonous children.
He knew Eunuch Ma. When he left, he served the King of Qin. He hadn't seen him for several years and was not dead yet. Instead, his body became stronger and stronger. The white hair on his head became much more white, which made Qu Nian very strange.
Qu Nian turned around and said, "Eunuch Ma, do my father plan to kill me?"
Eunuch Ma bent down and said with no humility or arrogance: "When you say the young master, I dare not speculate on the holy intention, so please forgive me."
Qu Nian said anxiously: "You stay by his side all day long. Didn't you tell me if you want to kill me at a glance? There is no need to speculate at all!"
Although he was anxious, Eunuch Ma was not anxious at all, like a ball of soft cotton. He said at this time: "The slave is stupid and can't tell."
Qu Nian felt that all of these father-in-laws were made into human spirits, and their speaking was like playing Tai Chi, such as Eunuch Gao of Qi, and Eunuch Wei next to the emperor. When he arrived in Qin, Eunuch Ma was still the same. It seemed that they were all trained in a father-in-law training class, and even the tone of their speech was exactly the same.
Qu Nian said: "Then what my father is doing now? Is this always possible?"
Eunuch Ma said, "The King is waiting for the young master in the imperial study!"
Qu Nian said in a daze: "Is it my father who saw me alone? Or is it a large group of people who want to interrogate me?"
Ma Eunuch said: "The Imperial Study Room will arrive soon. After the young master enters, he will naturally know everything."
