Qin Yang and Zhao Yun exchanged cups and cups, and their conversation became more and more interesting.
Zhao Yun was also a forthright person and did not even ask about Qin Yang's past. He only talked about what happened in the afternoon, occasionally mixed with some of his own experiences on the battlefield when he was young. When talking about Qin Yang
In the afternoon, Zhao Yun described how to defeat an ambush and how to defeat a powerful enemy. He praised Qin Yang as if he was like Sun Wu coming back to life. Qing Yao, who was sitting next to him pouring wine, was stunned for a moment.
of.
"Brother, is this true? Are you that powerful?" Qing Yao looked at Qin Yang with admiration.
"Little sister, don't listen to uncle's nonsense, he is making you happy. Haha..." Qin Yang couldn't stop Qing Yao's burning gaze, and said with a blushing face.
"Puch!" Zhao Yun saw the appearance of the two of them and laughed so much that he spat out a mouthful of wine from afar. Ever since his son Zhao Bi went to build the Great Wall six years ago, he had almost lost his smile, and it was Qin Yang's arrival that made him feel
To happiness and contentment.
"I also have grandchildren. Looking at Yang and Qingyao, I even have a grandson-in-law. The family finally has a pillar of support, and I can rest." Zhao Yun kept thinking in his heart, he felt that this was how life should be.
, As for where Qin Yang came from, he would not think about it or want to think about it. Because all Qin Yang's actions in the past two days made him believe that Qin Yang was an out-and-out good person, and he was a hidden "high-ranking person".
"People". He also believed that Qin Yang would tell him and Qing Yao's true life experience at the right time.
Half drunk, Qin Yang felt that he should make a point. He was afraid that if he gave up this opportunity, he would never have the courage to speak out.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Yang finally said: "Big father, little sister, I, I have to leave tomorrow..."
"What, what did you say?" "What? Where are you going?"
Zhao Yun and Qing Yao asked almost at the same time. Qin Yang's words struck their hearts like a bolt from the blue. Shock, sadness, lamentation, and even anger all hung on their faces.
When Qin Yang saw the urgency, he quickly comforted him: "Father, little sister, don't be anxious. Please listen to my explanation."
After all, Zhao Yun was old and mature, and had rich experience. He calmed down after losing his temper for a moment, and began to comfort Qing Yao: "Yao'er, don't worry, just listen to your brother, what he said is wrong, it's not too late for my father to scold him again."
Qin Yang waited for Qingyao, who was already devastated, to calm down and then began to say: "Big father, little sister, what I said about leaving is that I want to leave home for a while to do something I have to do. I want to
What we do is to let all the poor people in the world live a good life, such as allowing many people who have served as slaves to go home and reunite with their families, such as helping the poor regain the land that was taken away by the nobles, such as bringing back the land that coveted me
All the enemies in the land of Kyushu are wiped out, such as preventing the recurrence of war in the land of Kyushu, keeping the people of the world away from suffering, etc. I know this is difficult, but I have to go, this is my responsibility. Maybe, I will never be able to go again.
Come back, but I must go, even if I am broken into pieces, I will go! A man is upright, and he must do something great that is worthy of all the people in the world so that his life will not be wasted. Father, little sister, do you think so?"
Except for omitting the secrets of another time and space, Qin Yang almost explained clearly what he wanted to do when he traveled to the empire in the most understandable terms. He believed that the two of them could understand him. After all, these things were what the world's leaders were most concerned about.
thing.
Zhao Yun was shocked by Qin Yang's words. That man didn't have a dream in his heart to benefit the people of the world? That man didn't want to serve the country and make contributions? Which man didn't want to fight against powerful enemies and fight on the battlefield? Wasn't he also on the battlefield for his country?
Did you fight with Qin in a bloody battle? But later, the king became fatuous, traitors took over, and even the general Li Mu disappeared, and the country fell. I also slowly grew from a passionate man to an old man in his sixties. Now
The land of Kyushu was unified, and I thought that the world would be peaceful and we could live and work in peace and contentment. Who knew that the First Emperor did not care about the rest and recuperation of the head of Guizhou in the world, but squandered the people's power of the world wantonly, and the people of the land of Jiuzhou were almost exhausted.
However, some nobles of the old six kingdoms secretly gained great benefits. Therefore, it is time to reflect on the empire's politics. Zhao Yun was very happy and admired his grandson for having such an ambition.
"Yang, go ahead. You have such a plan. My father is proud of you. You are right. A man must be worthy of heaven above and worthy of the people below. Only then will his life be in vain. Okay, that's good! Come on, dad.
Father, I’d like to offer you a glass of wine to help you thrive!” Zhao Yun raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Father, you don't dare to take this responsibility. How can an eldest father offer wine to his grandson? Come on, eldest father, let's do it together!" Qin Yang drank all the wine in the cup.
"Qingyao also toasts to brother, wishing him success and going home soon." Qingyao's eyes were full of reluctance, but she was smart and knew that her brother not only belonged to her, but also to him.
He belongs to the world, and she also knows that she cannot keep him. Even if she stays, her brother's heart will become farther and farther away from her.
"Thank you, little sister. No matter how far away my brother is, my heart will always be with you and my father." This was the first time Qin Yang made such a bold confession to a girl. This not only made Qingyao but also
Qin Yang's own face turned red to the roots of his ears.
Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he saw this. Knowing that the two were thin-skinned, they immediately started fighting: "Come on, drink, keep drinking!"
When Qin Yang saw his eldest father walking up the stairs, he walked down the stairs. He got up, went to the bed where he was sleeping, took a money bag and handed it to Zhao Yun, and then said: "Big father, little sister, I will leave early tomorrow morning. In this money bag
If you have some money, Dad, please stop going to the mountains to collect herbs. This money should be enough for you and my little sister to live a good life for a while."
"This? How can this be done?..."
"Father, don't refuse. Only when you live a good life at home can I do my thing with peace of mind. What's more, I am your eldest grandson. My adoptive father is not at home, so it is my responsibility to support the family." Qin Yang
Before Zhao Yun could finish what he said, he immediately explained in a hurry.
After saying that, he took out the hairpin and jade bracelet from his arms and handed them to Qingyao: "Little sister, I bought this for you. I don't know if you like it or not."
"Thank you, brother, of course I like it." Qingyao blushed again.
"Tomorrow, please dig a hole and bury the box I put my things in. If you have any difficulties, you can go to the city to see Chen Meng, the manager of Lin's Trading Company. Maybe he can help. Also, as long as I am still alive before next May, I will definitely come back.
, if I don’t come back, you and your uncle must move to Bashu or Nanhai to settle down, do it quickly and don’t hesitate. Trust me! Remember this!"
"Why? Why do you want to move?" Zhao Yun and Qing Yao asked in unison.
"Don't ask so many questions. Just remember what I say. Okay, that's it. Father, come on, have a drink!"
…
On this day, Qin Yang's drinking capacity was unusually good. A jar of Lao Zhao wine weighing twenty kilograms actually made the two of them drink nothing. Moreover, there were many times when Qin Yang was afraid that his eldest father was old and frail and drank too much.
Being drunk, Zhao Yun drank the wine instead of his eldest father because he was hurting his health. Zhao Yun was so drunk that he didn't even notice because his eyes were dim.
After the two of them finished drinking, it was already midnight.
After Qin Yang and Qing Yao helped their elder father, who was mumbling for wine, to the bed to rest, it was time for Qin Yang to be alone with Qing Yao. Qin Yang longed for and feared such a moment.
Qin Yang is not born cold and lonely. In Qin Yang's heart, he also longs for family, friendship and love, but in the original time and space, he had neither. Now he has family or love, although he doesn't know it.
Is the relationship between him and Qingyao considered love, but he enjoys such warmth. But Qin Yang knows that he does not belong to this world. Even if he completes the task, he has to return to the original time and space. Qin Yang is afraid that his relationship
Feelings may affect the direction of history, and I am afraid that I may inadvertently hurt Qingyao, a beautiful and kind girl.
The two stared at each other in silence for a long time. As the saying goes, drinking makes people bold, Qin Yang finally mustered up the courage to step forward and take Qing Yao's little hand, and said softly: "Little sister, shall we go for a walk?" (Note)
)
Qingyao didn't speak, but gently leaned on Qin Yang's shoulder. The two of them cuddled together and came to the creek beside the village.
The stars in the night sky are bright, the full moon is like a disk, the stream beside you is gurgling, the cicadas are chirping and the frogs are chirping, and there is a faint fresh earthy smell filling the sky and the earth. It is really a pastoral night scene.
But in the hearts of Qin Yang and Qing Yao, nothing is more intoxicating than the cuddling at this time. All words seem so pale and feeble.
Time passes slowly, they use each other's hearts to feel each other, comfort each other, and then imprint each other deeply in their hearts...
The next day, at the beginning of July 17th, the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign, Qin Yang quietly packed up everything and quietly led Texue out of the house. From this moment on, he would embark on the vast journey.
On the journey, he will be an iron-blooded warrior again!
He did not alarm his eldest father and Qingyao because he was afraid of seeing the farewell scene, and he was even more afraid of Qingyao's tears. He knew that this trip was extremely dangerous and the outcome was unpredictable, so he only confessed those things last night.
He only hopes that his eldest father and Qingyao can escape the coming disaster of war.
What Qin Yang didn't expect was that not long after he went out, a petite figure followed him from a distance. Until Qin Yang's back disappeared in the east where the sun was about to rise.
"Brother, I'm waiting for you, waiting for you to come back. I won't go anywhere. Even if I die, I will wait for you to come back."

===================================
PS Note: During the Qin Empire, although men still dominated, the status of women was much higher than that of women after the Western Han Dynasty until the Republic of China. At that time, the love between young men and women did not necessarily have to pay attention to "the orders of their parents"
", matchmaker's words", and there is no theory of "three obediences and four virtues", and family status is much less important than that of later generations, so the customs at that time were much more passionate and unrestrained, and both men and women were often able to pursue the person they liked on their own when they met. Therefore.
