In the Xianyang Palace, the corridors are wide, and the two men walk slowly, one behind the other, followed by their attendants.
"Huai'er, I have something to say to you, why don't you ask what it is?" King Zhuang Xiang spoke first.
"Father, please speak." Zhao Huaizhong said helplessly.
"Did you know that there is an envoy from Qi?" King Zhuang Xiang asked.
Zhao Huaizhong nodded, thinking that King Zhuang Xiang wanted to test his opinion of the Qi people's arrival, so he calmly said: "The Han people are retreating steadily under the front of our Qin army, so they can only seek external forces in an attempt to make our Qin army retreat.
Most of the people from Qi are here to act as lobbyists, and my father only wants to take advantage of the smooth communication they can bring, and ignore the withdrawal of troops."
King Zhuang Xiang showed a pleased expression: "It's rare for Huai'er to have such insight, but that's not what I'm talking about."
"The envoys from the Qi people brought us many rare things from Qin, including two famous beauties from Qi."
After King Zhuang Xiang finished speaking, he looked at his son with a strange expression.
"Two women?" Zhao Huaizhong didn't quite understand what his father wanted to express.
King Zhuang Xiang said bluntly: "You are almost seventeen years old, why do you never favor women?
The maids around you are all carefully selected and have beautiful looks. Your mother and I were talking about this matter yesterday. Huai'er, you have been back in Qin for more than a year and it seems that you have never been blessed with a woman. Why?"
So Qiren sent two beauties, do they want to give them to me?
It is not difficult to understand that King Zhuang Xiang was worried about Zhao Huaizhong. The main reason was that while his predecessor was a hostage in Zhao State, he indulged in women and ate all kinds of seafood.
It is impossible that King Zhuang Xiang did not know these things. When Zhao Huaizhong first came back, he did not indulge in women. King Zhuang Xiang and Zhao Ji were quite happy, thinking that their son would work hard and work hard to govern.
However, for more than a year, I have never touched a woman.
The key is that I loved playing when I was in Zhao, but suddenly stopped playing when I came back. This is not normal.
King Zhuang Xiang, some old father, was afraid of hurting the self-esteem of his son who had been a hostage in Zhao for many years, so he tried to say:
"In addition to the two beautiful Qi people, there is also a flaming red cloud beast, which is an excellent mount. I want to give these things to Wang'er. What do you think?"
"It's a gift, that's good. But I don't have any use for the beautiful woman now. The red cloud beast sounds good." Zhao Huaizhong said.
Instead of riding a beauty, you want to ride a red cloud beast?
King Zhuang Xiang couldn't help but glance at Zhao Huaizhong's waist and abdomen. With a wave of his hand, the attendants immediately stepped away.
"Huai'er, tell me the truth. Did you have a root injury during your stay in Zhao Kingdom...and have a hidden disease?"
"God is really hurt..."
Zhao Huaizhong denied it flatly: "No."
King Zhuang Xiang asked again: "Have you not practiced the secret art of human relations that your father gave you? Is it ineffective?"
Zhao Huaizhong said sternly: "Father, you should understand my talent for cultivation. I have reached the top level in one day, and one year later, I am already unprecedented."
King Zhuang Xiang's face was solemn, and he obviously didn't believe it: "Then why do you never get close to women?"
This is a question that can only be understood. I am not yet seventeen and underage. If I dare to approach women now, the result will definitely be disastrous... Zhao Huaizhong squinted at 45 degrees and looked at the sky.
It feels good to push a girl, and the whole family is cremated.
"When I came back from Zhao as a hostage, I swore not to have sex with women for two years. My father doesn't have to worry about this matter."
Zhao Huaizhong was making nonsense. Seeing that King Zhuang Xiang wanted to continue asking, he quickly changed the subject, took out a small gourd and handed it over, explaining its function.
There are five gourds in total. Giving one to King Zhuang Xiang is considered as honoring his father.
Zhao Ji is not practicing cultivation, so she can save one and not give it to her.
"Is there such a strange thing that can hold many things?" King Zhuang Xiang was indeed diverted and looked at the gourd in his hand.
The gourd given to King Zhuang Xiang has been briefly refined by Zhao Huaizhong and can be used as long as it is pushed with magic power.
He immediately put in and took out a few belongings, and everything came true, which felt so magical.
"Can this thing hold living animals?" King Zhuang Xiang suddenly asked.
Zhao Huaizhong glanced at his father: "What do you want, father?"
"It would be fun to put your mother in it and carry it with you. Your mother will also find it novel." King Zhuang Xiang said with admiration.
You are really good at putting your own daughter-in-law in a gourd and carrying it with you... Zhao Huaizhong gave a thumbs up: "You can deposit and withdraw living things, but my mother is not practicing, so it is not easy for the time to be too long.
If the kid still has something to do, I’ll leave first.”
King Zhuang Xiang waved his hand and walked quickly to Zhangtai Palace. It seemed that he was in a hurry to install his wife in the gourd.
Zhao Huaizhong breathed a sigh of relief, left the palace and went straight to Ye Yu's Mansion, immersed himself in work, and began to review various files.
The day passes quickly, and night comes again as promised.
The stars twinkled on the dome.
At the palace gate, Liu Qi, who followed Zhao Huaizhong out of Xianyang Palace at night, looked frightened and risked his life to admonish: "It is too dangerous for the prince to come out so late. If the king finds out, I will die. I ask the prince to return to the palace."
"
He muttered over and over again, and Zhao Huaizhong laughed and said: "I won't let you come out, but you have to follow me.
Are you afraid that I am in danger, or are you worried that if we go out of the palace at night and your father finds out, your life will be ruined?"
Liu Qi knelt down and kowtowed: "I am mainly worried about the crown prince."
Zhao Huaizhong smiled and said: "Get up. Do you think we can really sneak out of the palace?
Do you think that all the guards in the palace are freeloaders?"
Liu Qi said in surprise: "Does the king know what the prince means and allow you to leave the palace?"
Zhao Huaizhong: "Father, you probably don't know yet. What I'm saying is that in addition to the guards you can see, there are other people protecting you in the dark to protect you from losing your head.
And I came out to do business."
In Xianyang in early October, there was already a hint of coolness, with a cold wind blowing on my face.
Zhao Huaizhong walked out of the palace gate proudly, put his hands behind his hands and walked in one direction. Behind him were Liu Qi, Wu Jia and Jiang Si.
He walked to the shadow of a building on the opposite side, and a person emerged silently from it, startling Liu Qi.
The man opposite him bowed and said: "Crown Prince!"
What appeared was Ye Yu’s deputy Shi Baiyao.
Zhao Huaizhong just raised his hand, and Baiyao turned around and led the way.
Two quarters of an hour later, Baiyao led Zhao Huaizhong to a dim alley where there was no light.
Across the long street outside the alley is a brightly lit palace.
There are red hurricane lanterns hanging outside the palace, and the plaque on the gate has the four ancient seal characters "Luo Yu Ning Cui" written in it, which is quite elegant.
"What's going on?" Zhao Huaizhong frowned.
Luoyu Ningcui, also called Xiao Qin Tower, is a government-run prostitute village, also known as Nulu.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong, a native of Qi, was the founder of Nulu.
During the day, Zhao Huaizhong saw a file involving a recent case investigated by Ye Yufu. Since he had found clues in the city, he made an appointment with Baiyao to come and take a look at it in the evening.
Baiyao said: "Many strange things have happened in our Qin realm recently, and the last clues point to this.
There is a new person in Xiao Qin House. On the surface, he is a kabuki dancer who has traveled around the world. He is a performer but not a prostitute. Secretly, he is a saint from the Yue Nu Cult of Chu Land, named Xiying. Even Prime Minister Lu made a special trip to see her.
once.
It is said that Xiying traveled around the world in search of someone who can rule the world. If he finds someone who can rule the world, he is willing to give him one of the six ancient mirrors."
The man who rules the world, don’t you blame me... Why do I feel like this is a routine?
The bone mirror seems to be a legendary treasure.
Zhao Huaizhong pondered: "Then let's go in and take a look."
"promise!"
Several figures suddenly appeared in the shadows of the buildings on both sides, all of them were elite members of the Ye Yu Mansion.
When Zhao Huaizhong left the palace at night, Baiyao and others took his safety as their top priority and mobilized a large number of experts to accompany him.
Mu Qingkong, Xia Xin and other powerful generals of Ye Yufu were among them.
Zhao Huaizhong glanced at everyone: "Don't follow me in, it will attract too much attention. This is Xianyang, there are not so many dangers, just follow one or two people."
Everyone turned their attention to Mu Qingkong.
Xia Xinweng said angrily: "If we only choose one or two people to follow the prince in, I think Mu Qingkong is the most suitable. His male and female looks fit well with the environment of Xiao Qin Building and are not easy to attract attention."
You are a boy and girl, which fits the environment of Qinlou. Your whole family is a boy and girl...
Mu Qingkong's eyebrows stood up straight, with an angry look on his face.
Baiyao objected: "Mu Qingkong can't do it. He's too handsome and will easily attract others' attention."
Xia Xin added: "You can let him wear women's clothes, and no one will be able to tell the truth."
Fuck your sister... Mu Qingkong was furious: "Xia Xin, do you want to fight me to the death?"
Because Zhao Huaizhong was at the side, everyone suppressed their laughter and did not dare to say a word.
"This Xiao Qin Building is a kabuki building. If you bring Mu Qingkong in women's clothes, you are not here to have fun, but to cause trouble."
Did I bring out a bunch of idiots... Zhao Huaizhong pointed out a young man with a popular face in the crowd, who was invisible to everyone: "Just him, come in with me."
Baiyao glanced at the man and nodded happily: "That's fine, Xin Wu, just accompany the prince in and protect the prince's safety."
After saying this, he handed Zhao Huaizhong several dark yellow talisman signs: "This thing is something that Lao Sikong researched. It is unique to my Ye Yu Mansion. It can tamper with part of the face with magic power within a certain time limit.
Although the prince does not show up often, there is no guarantee that he will be recognized by interested people, so he will change and go in again to make sure everything is safe."
If you didn't take this thing out earlier, it would change your face, no matter who goes in... Zhao Huaizhong really wants to complain.
