Three thousand elite black dragon troops in heavy armor cleared the way, with their flags hanging high and rustling in the wind. In the autumn and winter, the black armor was fierce and they rode horses with great power.
Exit from the east gate of Xianyang and rush along the Chi Road in the direction of Longxi.
Accompanying him were two thousand elite infantrymen directly under the Xianyang Palace, armed with spears and marching in neat steps, following each other, each one showing pride in their appearance.
It is a great fortune to be able to accompany His Majesty on his inspection tour of Longxi.
How not to be happy.
Nearly half of the personnel directly under the Xianyang Palace and the administrative staff directly under the government were transferred away, and nearly half of the important officials of the temple were also transferred and accompanied by them to deal with important military and civil affairs.
One after another, four-horse carriages and two-shaft carriages built in accordance with etiquette rules... followed in turn, with great momentum, and everything within a radius of dozens of miles was under absolute control.
Snare.
Shadow Guard.
Scout in the army.
Always there to protect you.
The broad and tall carriages and horses were driving in front. Xiao Yangzi poked his little head and looked out the window at the grand scene. His father and mother took him and his younger brother Gao'er to accompany them.
Really happy.
It has grown so big that I have never seen it outside of Xianyang Palace.
As for the last time I went to the Western Regions with my uncle, it was really like looking down at the sky. At a glance, I didn't feel the same way I did at this moment.
"My mother hasn't left the palace properly for many years."
Gongsun Li smiled.
It's not just Yangzi who's in a good mood.
I am in a good mood too.
Since the destruction of Zhao, I accompanied His Majesty to Handan, and since then... I have been in Xianyang Palace until now.
Now, I have the opportunity to take a look at the prosperity of Zhuxia today. The land of Longxi... I have never been there.
Some expectations.
"Brother Gao'er, don't you come and take a look?"
Yang Zi felt very happy. Hearing what his mother said, his eyes turned and landed on Gao'er's brother in the carriage. He was reading beside his father.
Sit properly and be strict.
Anyway, Yangzi felt that he couldn't stand the book.
Upon hearing this, Young Master Gao moved his eyes away from the book in his hand and looked at his father who was dealing with government affairs. Then he looked at his sister Yangzi and shook his head very much.
"Father, don't you come and take a look?"
Xiao Yangzi feels that brother Gao'er is becoming more and more boring, and he is not as interesting as when he was a child.
What's so good about reading?
What’s so good about reading a book? It’s better to take a good look at the magnificent rivers and mountains of Da Qin. He looked at his father and said with a smile, the journey would take a long time anyway, and his father would not be in a hurry when dealing with government affairs.
"Um?"
"Let your father finish processing these memorials."
"Gao'er, let's go and have a look."
Ying Zheng was awake and looked at Yang Zi.
I really want to see the beautiful scenery in Guanzhong, but... there are a lot of documents and political affairs coming to the counties. If there is a backlog, there will be more in the future.
Without saying anything, Danfeng's eyes fell on Gao'er beside him.
This... child... is so well-behaved.
Being too disciplined is not a good thing.
Although I know Li'er's expectations for him, but... I will give him the opportunity he deserves. Sure enough, he can seize it, and there may not be no chance.
Da Qin!
It was he and his ministers who created the Great Qin in person. Sure enough, he would not live forever, and he would not choose incompetent people or mediocre people.
"Yes, Father!"
Young Master Gao couldn't bear it long ago.
But... my mother told herself that being able to accompany my father on an inspection trip to Longxi was a rare treat among the young masters.
Let yourself express yourself well and study well by your father's side.
However, with his sister by his side, Gongzi Gao felt that her sister was an obstacle for him to study properly with his father. Along the way, his sister's voice was heard in the carriage.
Really..., if I couldn't beat my sister, I would have said sister long ago.
I told my sister several times before that she ended up having a hard time, and I was punished by my sister.
My sister's shouts and screams echoed in my ears, saying that I admired the beautiful scenery outside Xianyang City, but I didn't have permission from my father.
You can't leave yourself either.
Sure enough, I was overjoyed when I heard my father's order at this moment.
He quickly put down the books in his hands, bowed deeply to his father, and walked towards where his sister Yangzi was.
"Hahaha."
When Ying Zheng saw this, he smiled brightly.
At Gao'er's age, he shouldn't be so restrained, but now...it's just the nature of a young man.
"His Majesty."
"If there is no water and stone on the road, patrolling Longxi will be very tiring on the car."
Chidao!
In recent years, the Qin Dynasty has built Chidao, and all the important roads are made of water and stone.
The water stone was created by the Protectorate Academy and the Shaofu together. It was a strange thing created using appropriate proportions.
When it meets water, it becomes hard and hard to penetrate with ordinary swords.
It is also extremely smooth and difficult to damage. Cars and horses walking on it can hardly feel any sway. Combined with the huge carriage at this moment, it is like an above-ground palace.
Looking at Yang Zi and Gao'er, the two little guys happily looked out the window. Gongsun Li came closer and was waiting beside them.
"Water stone was also developed by the prince."
“It’s really useful.”
"It is even stronger when used to build cities."
Ying Zheng was convinced that the construction speed of the road paved with water and stone was very fast, which was several times faster than the previous road paved with earth and stone.
Especially very durable.
Even if it is destroyed, it can be restored in a very short time.
This alone can be considered a great achievement.
"The princes and princes are all good at everything, but they are lazy in civil and military affairs."
"At this moment, His Majesty is still burying his head in the case, and the Lord and Prince should feel the warm fragrance of soft jade at this moment."
Gongsun Li smiled softly.
"The prince!"
"The talents of the princes in civil and military affairs are not inferior to those of Feng Quji, Li Si, etc., but as you said, they are too lazy."
"It's not what I say, I'm afraid the prince is already in Shushan."
"The land south of the Yangtze River is very involved. Apart from the princes and princes, I can't find another suitable person to take charge of the temple."
Ying Zheng also felt that he, the emperor, was not as comfortable as his brother, a prince.
In terms of power, I have given myself enough glory.
But the emperor's brother didn't seem to care.
When it comes to the stunning beauty around him, the prince is quite casual about it.
In terms of strategy, Bai Qianhong was cultivated. Her talent and learning... After experiencing the expansion of the four counties, Ying Zheng felt that she was absolutely comparable to Jiu Qing.
…
It's really relaxing.
"The prince's work will certainly make your majesty feel at ease."
Gongsun Li stood up from her desk and walked to a corner of the carriage, where there was a small stove with a charcoal fire that never went out and a clay pot with warm water.
He raised his hand and took the pottery pot to brew tea for His Majesty.
"It's hard to be at ease with all kinds of things."
"The prince gave me peace of mind."
What Li'er said is quite right.
The reason why the emperor's younger brother was sent to stay in Jiangnan for twenty years was for stability and peace of mind.
…
…
"With the current progress, it will take at least half a month to reach Longxi County."
In the accompanying carriage, Zhou Qing was lying comfortably on the soft couch just as Ying Zheng had imagined. As for the beautiful scenery outside the carriage, he had already seen a lot of it.
Moreover, it is autumn and winter now, and many scenery are different.
Xi'er and Dongjun were also in the car, and the eldest son, Siming, stayed behind at Xianyang Palace.
Nong Yu was sorting out the brand new snacks beside her and putting them on the table for Xi'er to eat. The little guy liked to eat and looked through the corner of the car curtain into the void outside the car.
The carriage was not moving very fast, and Xianyang was not close to Longxi.
"Your Majesty's inspection of Longxi is to take in the Daqin River and Mountains at a glance. It's not good if you go too fast."
"Xi'er!"
"Come!"
Zhou Qing was not in a hurry to reach Longxi as soon as possible. After leaving Xianyang, the special pressure was much weakened.
At least the spiritual sense can be used.
Everything in the surrounding area is within perception.
Autumn and winter are chilly, and Longxi is even more cold. At this time, people do not work much on the fields. They follow the custom and perform corvee labor, organize water conservancy, and build the Great Wall fortifications.
When I left Xianyang, I saw a lot of them.
He held the little guy in Dongjun's arms with both hands empty.
"Yeah."
"……."
The little girl still speaks a mysterious language, but her calves are much stronger. At least she can jump around now.
"Um?"
"A person from hundreds of families?"
"Did they really follow?"
"They are quite courageous. Judging from their aura, they are a bit mixed. It is possible that they are from a farmer's family or a Mo family."
Putting the little guy on his belly and letting the little guy toss around, his spiritual sense reached a field a few miles away from here.
There are several familiar scents that have been following me since I left Xianyang.
Strength is innate, not strong.
He has been following the westbound patrol convoy heading westward.
"Didn't they notice the snare?"
Nongyu is curious.
During your Majesty's trip this time, there are many people from Luowang and Shadow Guards. They are all proficient in this. If there are people with strange identities, they can be questioned directly.
"No need to pay attention."
Maybe you noticed it.
Maybe not aware.
However, at the innate level, even if there is any abnormality, it is unlikely that there will be any abnormality.
The reason why those people are like this is because of their stance, and that thing can be changed, as long as Da Qin does a good enough job next time.
Everything is possible.
"Xiao Mengzi's cultivation level is already unfathomable."
"The prince is preparing for Kunlun and his party next?"
Wearing a long brocade gown with traces of three-legged golden crows, and her long hair spread freely, Concubine Dongjun Yan sat gracefully in a corner of the carriage.
Dark golden light loomed all over his body, and in the center of his brows, the sun shone brightly. He spoke lazily, and his starry eyes fell on the Taoist Xiao Mengzi who was meditating in another area of the carriage.
Instinctively, Xiao Mengzi's cultivation became more and more profound.
The void is one!
Go further!
I don't know clearly, but I am still far away from the void. Not long ago, the prince obtained all the Kunlun records passed down by the Yin Yang family.
Kunlun.
The prince will go.
It is a mysterious place, vast and far beyond Mount Buhan. Mount Buhan now has all the treasures of nature and earth, and Kunlun will only have more.
“Kunlun is a great place.”
"Of course I have to go take a look."
Zhou Qing nodded.
The snacks that Nong Yu took out were placed beside him, allowing the little one to take them.
After touring Longxi with the emperor's brother, he returned to Nanchang. After a little reorganization, he could go to Kunlun to see whether Kunlun was as mysterious as recorded.
"I will leave Xianyang when the time comes. Xi'er... you must take good care of me."
The little guy has a really good appetite.
And he's not picky about food either.
No wonder I am now fat and white. I like the way I look. This is how I am blessed.
My daughter is destined to be noble.
Staying by Dongjun's side is enough.
"Why did the prince say this?"
Dong Jun showed his hands and tied the long hair behind his ears. He was very puzzled by Xuan Qingzi's words.
Xi'er is not just a child of a prince.
Still his own child.
I will give Xi'er more.
"I am going to make Xi'er my adopted daughter, and I will ask your Majesty to grant her the title of princess."
"You... don't have any objections?"
As expected, he left Xianyang. Although he was not worried about Xi'er, and although he was confident that Dongjun could take good care of Xi'er, he was still a little reluctant to leave.
After thinking for a while, I said something.
"Um?"
Nongyu was standing aside. Hearing this, he looked at the young master in surprise.
The young master wants to adopt Xi'er as his adopted daughter, so that your majesty can treat him like a princess?
This... is too doting on Xi'er.
"Um?"
Concubine Dongjun Yan was also surprised, with a little hesitation appearing on her beautiful face.
The prince really likes Xi'er.
You can feel it yourself.
I am happy in my heart.
Taking her as her adopted daughter, Concubine Dongjun Yan felt that it was nothing. Xi'er wanted to stay by her side for the rest of her life, and it would be great to have the protection of the prince.
Grant the title of princess?
There is no need for this.
It's too much.
In today's Great Qin, there are only a few princesses. If Xi'er were to be a princess, His Majesty would probably favor Xi'er even more in the future.
Just like Yangzi now, it is a clear example.
"That's it."
"I feel that Xi'er is worthy of honor as a princess."
Seeing Xi'er happily eating snacks, Zhou Qing teased the little guy unconsciously.
"All the princes and princes have the final say."
Concubine Dongjun Yan said helplessly.
The princes and princes have already made up their minds, so how can they ask for their opinions?
The prince has always been so domineering.
"Xi'er is going to become a princess?"
"Princess Xi'er?"
"Princess Xi?"
Regarding the young master's request for the title of princess for Xi'er, Nongyu has no doubt that your majesty will directly stamp the emperor's seal on her and grant her the title.
Bright eyes looked at Xi'er.
The young master treats Xi'er really well.
Xi'er is going to become a princess.
Then, her honor will be very prominent, this... Nongyu absolutely believes it.
"Princess Xi is fine."
Zhou Qing is happy.
"Yeah!"
"..."
The little guy filled his mouth with snacks and seemed to feel that the people around him were talking about him, so he quickly spoke more mysterious languages.
Waving cute little hands.
"Don't choke, get some jade and make some fruit."
The little guy looks even cuter at the moment, with a pink little face and round cheeks, and no one is competing with Xi'er for food.
Zhou Qing ordered quickly.
"Yes, sir."
Nongyu flipped his hands, and a set of fruit brewing pots appeared, and he poured a cup directly.
"Yeah."
"...Drink, drink..."
"..."
The little guy's eyes lit up and he quickly looked at the exquisite jade cup. There was a familiar and pleasant smell floating in it, which he had tasted before.
The two little hands instinctively stretched out and said something instinctively.
"Um?"
Zhou Qing was startled as to what he heard just now.
Can the little guy talk?
"drink……."
"drink!"
The little guy still spoke instinctively.
"Sir, Xi'er can speak now."
Nongyu held the cup in her hand and was suddenly overjoyed when she heard Xi'er's words. The rhyme was very clear and pure Da Qin Yayan.
Even Xiao Meng, who was practicing quietly in a corner of the carriage, instinctively opened his silver eyes. A ray of purple light shone and looked at Xi'er. Can he speak?
"Xi'er."
Concubine Dongjun Yan was also overjoyed. Dark golden light flashed and appeared on the soft couch. Can Xi'er speak?
"drink……."
Xi'er still looked at the cup of delicious food and stretched out her hands vigorously.
"Hahaha."
"I am very happy."
"I am very happy."
"I will accept you as my daughter. Please call me "Father" and I will listen."
Zhou Qing sat up on the soft couch and held the little guy in his arms. Zhou Qing was overjoyed. He held the cup in his hand and seduced the little guy.
