It has been a while since the First Emperor returned to Xianyang.
All kinds of palaces are now being built, and even in the twelfth lunar month.
Not only the palaces are being built, but also the Great Wall is also being built. Many things are being built. Moreover, the Huns in the north are ready to move, and the First Emperor also had to be distracted to arrange for military service to guard the border.
Corvée service was very heavy, but it was necessary in the early days of the rise of this dynasty, at least the First Emperor firmly believed in this.
Now he has just finished his morning court and is planning to go back to his bedroom to review the memorials.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he felt something blocking the sunlight above his head.
Looking up, I found it was a bird.
"What kind of bird is that?" Emperor First Emperor asked a little eunuch beside him.
"This... I'm reporting to the emperor, the family doesn't know..." The little eunuch looked about sixteen or seventeen years old and replied tremblingly.
The First Emperor glanced at the little eunuch silently, but the little eunuch couldn't help but stand upside down.
"But, however, the taste of this bird must be very delicious. It's better to let the chaotic family shoot down for the emperor." The little eunuch was so anxious that he thought of a way to break the deadlock, and wanted to bow his head to the ground.
As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. This founding emperor who ruled the world and came out of the sea of ​​blood was even more powerful than a tiger, and the little eunuch did not dare to be careless at all.
The First Emperor sighed and looked away: "This bird hung above my head and did not fall down. It was an act of usurpation, so I took my bow."
He wanted to shoot the ungrateful bird himself.
The little eunuch rushed to take the bow and arrow of Emperor Shin-chan.
However......
"Click—"
"KaKa——"
A familiar voice came to the First Emperor's ears.
He looked up suddenly.
The bird made a strange sound while descending its height.
"This sound... mechanism!?" Emperor First Emperor couldn't help but take two steps forward as he heard the crackling sound.
It happened that at this time, the weather was beautiful, and a cloud covered the dazzling sun, allowing the First Emperor to finally see the bird clearly.
It was a strange bird composed of wood and iron, with about one person's wingspan, lowering its height.
Among the people that Emperor Qin Shi Huang knew, there seemed to be only one person who was proficient in mechanical techniques and could design such mechanical birds.
Looking at the falling mechanic bird, the First Emperor couldn't help but stretch out one of his arms. The mechanic bird seemed to have a connection with him and slowly landed on the First Emperor's arm.
"Emperor, bows and arrows are found--" The little eunuch hurriedly ran over with a longbow and quiver, panting.
Then when he looked up, he saw the strange big bird standing on the arm of the First Emperor, and the First Emperor who was staring at the strange bird, and was subconsciously stunned.
The First Emperor looked at the mechanic bird and waved his hand to the little eunuch: "Put the bow and arrow back, I will go back to the bedroom first."
"Yes!" Although he was very confused, the little eunuch agreed immediately and hurriedly sent the bow and arrow back.
The First Emperor, paced and walked towards the bedroom alone.
There were many maids, eunuchs, concubines and children in the garden passing by, and he just waved his hands and walked towards the bedroom.
For him, there are more important things now.
A name kept echoing in his mind.
Ji Chao, brother Chao...is it you?
When I returned to the bedroom and sat on the dragon couch, the mechanic bird was still staring at him without any movement.
One person and one bird looked at each other for a long time. The First Emperor felt that he was very stupid and couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Good you Ji Chao, you dare to fool me!"
After saying that, he slapped the machine bird.
Bang!
"Gaku--" The mechanic bird suddenly spread its wings and made a particularly loud scream, which scared the First Emperor and moved a little back.
Then, the mechanical bird flew up, its body shrinks and reorganizes, and eventually becomes a small and exquisite object that the First Emperor is also very familiar with.
The First Emperor stared at the small object in a daze, took off a jade bird from his waist, and placed his hands next to the mechanical bird with a trembling hand.
"Knowing direction is knowing direction..."
Throwing the jade bird aside, the First Emperor covered Zhixiang, who was still hanging in the air with both hands, as if he was afraid that Zhixiang would run away, and held it in his palm.
"It's the Chao brother, are you going to come back?"
He said excitedly.
Zhixiang slowly floated up in his palm, and neat words began to emerge out of thin air.
"Lord, I saw the letter as if I had seen you for a long time. Chao failed to return and congratulate you on completing the hegemony of unifying the Central Plains. It's a pity."
The First Emperor looked at the word and couldn't help but nod.
"I have finished it, what about you, Super Brother? You..."
Before he could finish his words, the words in the air continued to appear.
"It's a pity that Chao can no longer return to the Central Plains to see your Great Qin Dynasty, and experience the shock and pride of being a great Qin minister."
The First Emperor's words stuck in his throat, and his expression of joy quickly cooled down and turned into disbelief.
"What does this mean?"
"Cho is dead, Zhixiang... is saying goodbye."
The First Emperor stood up slowly and looked at the words with his head down in disbelief.
“…Ji Chao, Xiang Chao.”
"Ji Chao! Do you know what stupid things you are saying!"
His tone trembled, and he pointed to the words and became fierce.
"Do you know that this is a crime of deceiving the king? I can destroy your three tribes!"
But the words continued to say.
"Master, I guess I'm very disobedient now. Although Ji Chao is dead, he has long seen your disobedient through deducing immortal arts. You are now the common ruler of the world, so you must not get angry easily, so calm down."
"Calm down...how do you let me calm down? Ji Chao, you-you-"
The First Emperor gritted his teeth, with sadness and anger in his eyes, and pointed at Zhixiang fiercely: "You..."
He doesn't know what to say.
"How could you die..."
Emperor Qin's eyes turned red, with tears in his eyes and trembling all over.
"How could you, how could you die..." he said in pain.
"Humans will die, right? Chao just chose a way to die that suits Chao." The text seemed to be communicating with the First Emperor, "Cho has completed his mission, and the Central Plains is worry-free."
The First Emperor sat back on the dragon couch in a daze, looking lonely: "If you die, I will lose the person who can be called a friend in the end. Your death - put me... what should I put me..."
The text did not continue to emerge, as if giving the First Emperor a time to adjust his emotions.
The First Emperor silently wiped away tears with his sleeve and asked, "...Where did you die? How did you die?"
"Die in the southwest, die in battle." That text knows what the First Emperor is going to ask, and this is a conversation that spans time.
