"There will be flooding soon. Who told you about this?"

In the palace of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng dropped a piece on the chessboard.

Baitao thought for a moment, and the chess pieces gathered around him, "It's a plumber from South Korea. He told me personally. When he was in South Korea, he was also the commander-in-chief of flood control and flood control. What he said should be credible. Government officials

Brother, you might as well ask someone to check it out."

"How did he meet you?"

"It was the time last time when Young Master Ying asked me to swim in the lake."

Baitao's attention was still on the chessboard, "Young Master Ying fell into the water, and he helped me fish him out. That's how we got to know each other. I went to the lake today and met him again. It's fate."

Ying Zheng's narrow eyes were like a calm lake, "Are you looking for him specifically?"

"Yes."

Baitao blurted out, "I was too depressed and you couldn't play with me, so I went to the Weishui River to find him. He also gave me a fish. It was such a big fish. I asked Rui'er to tell the kitchen to cook it. It's raining outside now."

Yu, let’s drink warm fish soup in the house to satisfy our appetite.”

Ying Zheng hit the chessboard with a "snap", making a crisp jade sound.

Baitao looked up at him and happily ate two of his pieces.

"Hey, if you teach a disciple to starve to death, master, you only taught me once, and I learned so quickly. I will beat you soon."

Ying Zheng pursed his lips: "You can't speak too early."

He threw away the chess piece, leaned over and gently pinched her chin.

"Huh?"

Baitao thought to himself, could he stop playing if he loses?

Ying Zheng's fingertips traced the corners of her lips along the shape of her lips, like a tease between lovers, and asked persistently, "Taotao, do you like him?"

Baitao bit his fingertip and said vaguely: "I don't like it."

How could I like him? I've only met him once or twice, so at most I don't dislike him.

He pulled back his hand slightly satisfied, "Yeah."

Ying Zheng said again, "He is also a promising man with real talents and learning. No matter which country he is from, as long as he is loyal to the Qin State, the Qin State will accept him regardless of past grudges. Taotao, you might as well bring him to me someday."

Baitao knew that plumbers were recruiting rare talents everywhere, so it was only the old King Han who was ignorant.

It makes sense for him to seek talents in this way, but as for the policy of tiring Qin, she felt that it was better to intimidate He Li to avoid causing trouble.

After thinking about it for a few times, Baitao focused on looking at the chessboard and agreed: "Okay, when I beat you this time, I will let him come to see you tomorrow."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"

His slender, jade-like fingertips blocked all her escape routes, "You beat me?"

Such a sharp and tricky chess move, but he played it with the grace of someone listening to the falling flowers.

If you ignore that the person he is playing against is Baitao, his chess-playing posture is indeed pleasing to the eye.

Baitao felt that her fox fur was a bit bald.

It was obviously a one-sided situation, but it was not easy to catch him feeling uneasy.

Why did he survive the desperate situation?

It's a dead end no matter what right now.

She angrily threw the chess piece into the chess box and said slyly: "Humph, there's no tomorrow. I'm not happy today. No one can sleep. Just wait, I'll go out of the palace to get him back."

After that, the little fox disappeared without a trace, fearing to look at the messy chessboard again.

Ying Zheng chuckled, held the chess piece she threw, and continued the game with him.

Baitao grinded her teeth all the way, and picked up Zheng Guo, who was still snoring, in the water, and went to Xianyang Palace to visit him.

Before Zheng Guo, the goblin, could react, Baitao ran away and waited outside.

After the time for a stick of incense, Zheng Guo came out with his head bowed.

He tugged on his clothes and said to her: "You recommended me, and you just throw me over there? Why are you so unloyal?"

Baitao sat outside and blew in the wind for a while, thinking that if he lost, he should lose. Anyway, there was nothing to be ashamed of after losing so much.

She said perfunctorily, "Why should I get involved in national affairs? There are some things that the less you know, the better. Besides, I am also a layman when it comes to water control. My eyesight is dark. I am giving you room to play."

Seeing his languid look, Baitao walked over and asked, "What's wrong? What did King Qin say to you? Why do you seem unhappy?"

"Nothing said."

Zheng Guodao said, "I was asked to be a casual plumber, but this time I asked a clerk named Li Si to assist me in water control. He probably didn't trust me."

Not only was Brother Zheng worried, Baitao himself was also worried about him, saying, "You are not from the Qin State, so it is normal for him to be worried about you, but I know you very well, and I will help you."

Zheng Guo: "Are you so proud?"

"well enough."

Baitao rolled her eyes and led him to her bedroom, "I'm living quite well in the mortal world now. I have food, clothing and other uses. What about you? What do you think of King Qin just now? What are you planning to do?

Will you stay in Qin for a long time?"

Zheng Guo licked his mouth, "I feel hungry just looking at him."

With a "bang" sound, Baitao jumped up and gave him a hammer, "Do you hear if he is not allowed to eat? If you eat him, I will never end it with you."

Zheng Guo covered his head and said pitifully: "Yes, yes, I won't eat him."

"Humph." Baitao tugged at the edge of his clothes, "Let's go, let's go, I asked people to cut down a lot of twigs, and I'll invite you to eat them."

As soon as he heard about the food, Zheng Guo stopped covering his eyes and head, his eyes brightened, and he followed her carelessly.

Baitao took him back to the house. The long table was filled with fresh branches that she had asked the palace maid to cut before. The roots were cleaned and arranged neatly, exuding a faint fragrance.

Zheng Guo took three steps and two steps together, then picked up the branch and chewed it, "Click, click, click... click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click".

Bai Tao also picked up the branches and looked at them: "Why do you beavers like to eat branches? I just feel like I can't eat them. Otherwise, I won't be able to catch any prey one day, and I can survive just by eating branches."

"Crack, click, click." Zheng Guo's mouth was busy, one in his left hand and one in his right, and he said, "Of course we are different. I also think the meat is unpalatable. You foxes are not picky when it comes to beaver meat."

After speaking, Baitao gave him a cold look.

Zheng Guo also felt that he had said the wrong thing. He covered his mouth and said, "You...you don't want to eat me, you, you, you, you are trying to lure the raccoon into the urn and catch the raccoon in the urn."

He said it again without stopping.

"belch."

He even burped.

Baitao sat beside the long desk and hummed: "If I wanted to eat you, I would have eaten you long ago. It is your turn to eat a lot of tree bark now."

Zheng Guo was immersed in his food. He held up a long branch with both hands and sniffed it vigorously, "This tastes good, camphor wood."

Then, "Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click."

Bai Tao heard that the fox's ears were getting big, "Can you please stop clicking, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click when you eat?"

Now Zheng Guo heard it, and his face, which was like a spring dawn flower, instantly withered, "But, if you chew on branches, you can't chirp."

Baitao: "...."

Baitao: "Then you serve under the King of Han, and you have been in the mortal world for many years. Do you know how to chirp while eating?"

"Yes." He gnawed on a branch numbly, "When the King of Han entertained me, I just kept eating and chewing my mouth, which annoyed him, so he didn't like me. Most of the people who sent me to Qin this time were

Because of this reason.”

Baitao was stunned.

What a strange reason.

She said: "Flaws don't hide your faults. Brother Zheng won't dislike you anyway, right?"

"Really?"

Zheng Guo gnawed boldly and said vaguely, "If he really doesn't dislike me, then I will stay in Qin State. I will control the water for him and build canals for him. Anyway, I have already thought about it. The King of Han has already decided

My heart is completely broken. Now that you are in Qin, you are your own monster anyway, so I plan to follow you in the future."

Bai Tao, who received the goblin brother for the first time, was secretly happy. She pulled two branches delicately and put them in his hands, "Eat, eat, you'll be satisfied."

"Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click..."

In less than half a month, the price of Wei fruits in Qin State really increased.

The Wei River is one of the nine rivers and the largest water in the Qin State.

Its tributaries are like the roots of a big tree and are firmly rooted in the Qinchuan River, which spans 800 miles in the Qin Kingdom.

Once waterlogging occurs, the consequences are unimaginable.
