Nongyu personally took action and bought a large cage of rabbits in Jingyuan City. He kept some for himself and gave the rest to the emperor's brother.
I never thought that the emperor's brother would directly summon him and have a banquet together in the tent.
In this way, it is much more joyful.
The chef who accompanied Shang Shi Fang was quite good at making the little white rabbits into many different patterns, and anyway, it was filled with a wooden table.
Staying restlessly by her side, the little girl Xi'er was obviously very happy.
Because there are so many delicious things.
Before the emperor brother could cut the chopsticks, the little guy couldn't help it anymore. He reached down with his two little hands and found two plump rabbit legs in his hand.
These are two barbecued rabbit legs. They are fragrant and not greasy.
All right.
The little guy still remembered his father and handed him a rabbit leg.
"Hahaha, okay."
"Father eats it too."
Facing the little guy's bright-eyed expression of reluctance and reluctance, Zhou Qing raised his hand and held a rabbit leg in his hand.
"eat!"
Seeing that the rabbit leg in his hand was missing one, his little eyes fell on the table beside him again. He raised his hand and took another one, and he had it in both hands.
Suddenly, his little face became even more joyful.
"Eat bunny!"
The small tooth mouth goes straight down.
"Hahaha, I like this girl."
"Li'er also said that this little girl has a similar temperament to Yang Zi."
The First Emperor Yingzheng was also happy.
The little guy sweeping Xi'er ate so deliciously that his own appetite improved a lot, and he also picked up some rabbit meat in his chopsticks.
"No way."
"Father, Yang Zi is not so greedy."
Yang Zi, who was sitting behind another table in the tent, was a little dissatisfied.
How could I be like this?
I am not a glutton.
"Although you were a glutton when you were a child, you loved drinking purple dragon pearl fruit juice."
"You have tasted almost all the fruit wine presented by the young master."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
I still remember the scenes of Yangzi's childhood very clearly.
In terms of appetite, I may not be as good as Xi'er, but in other aspects, I quite like it.
"Where is it?"
Yang Zi hummed.
I am not that kind of person.
I like drinking purple dragon pearl fruit wine, but...it is really delicious.
"Your Majesty, Xi'er will grow up in Xianyang Palace with His Excellency Dongjun."
"After I have the title of princess, if I stay with Yangzi for a long time, I may think that they will overturn Xianyang Palace."
Gongsun Li followed him.
Looking at Xi'er who is particularly favored by the prince.
Then he looked at Yang Zi who had grown up.
All kinds of pictures flashed through my mind, I pursed my lips and smiled softly, looked at His Majesty, and said such interesting things.
This possibility is still very high.
Yang Zi is particularly favored by His Majesty.
Xi'er is particularly favored by the prince. If he stays in Xianyang Palace and His Majesty loves Wu Wu, he will treat Xi'er very well.
"Hahaha."
"Turn it over, turn it over."
"I just feel that Xianyang Palace is a bit small. When you two turn Xianyang Palace upside down in the future, the new palace I built on the Weishui River should also be ready."
"When the time comes, Xianyang Palace will leave you two little girls to worry about."
Ying Zheng was even happier.
Over the past month, I have been really worried about the rain and snow disasters, but now things are gradually settling down and I feel much happier.
"Father."
"Yangzi wouldn't do that."
Yangzi felt that he was despised by his father.
I'm not that kind of person at all.
As for Xi'er beside her uncle, she is still young now, and she will definitely not be like this when she grows up.
"His Majesty."
"Will the patrol car also have to travel far into Zhangye County next time?"
The general inspection itinerary was determined, but the details were adjusted according to the emperor's wishes.
Seeing how delicious this little guy Xi'er was, Zhou Qing also smiled, and then the conversation changed to another matter.
"Wuwei County!"
"Zhangye County!"
"I..., I want to go and see it."
"There are forty-two counties under the Qin Dynasty. Zhao Tuo has successfully conquered Baiyue in Lingnan, and there will be more counties in the future."
"I'm traveling to Longxi, Beidi, and Hexi. I don't know if I can come next time. Now that I'm here, let's take a look at them all."
"It's a pity that the construction of Chidao has not been completed. Otherwise, the speed could be faster."
Ying Zheng replied in the affirmative.
As for the many counties and counties under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, you must personally see them.
Because there may not be a chance to come here in the future.
"Although the Chi Road has not yet been completed, the important road can still be used."
"Relatively speaking, it is indeed a bit slow."
Zhou Qing nodded.
The Chi Road in the two counties of Hexi has not yet been built, because the Chi Road in Longxi and Beidi has not yet been repaired, but the broad main road has been completed.
“It’s even colder when traveling to Hexi County.”
"Li'er, if you don't take Yang Zi with you, Gao'er should return to Xianyang first."
The rainy and snowy weather has passed, and it has become even colder here.
Even Yangzi, who usually likes to go out and play, is unwilling to go out.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng looked at Gongsun Li, or Li'er, because Yang Zi and the others were practicing cultivation. After all, the cold is human nature.
"Father, I also want to visit the two counties in Hexi."
"I don't want to go back."
Yangzi's ears were sensitive, and he felt what his father said and said immediately.
Young Master Gao was standing nearby. Hearing this, he was slightly startled and said nothing.
"The two counties in Hexi are colder than here."
Ying Zheng smiled.
It’s not because I don’t want Yangzi to follow.
But the weather dictates that you can have more fun staying in Xianyang.
"don't want."
Yangzi shook his little head very much.
"His Majesty."
"Let the two of them follow you, I will take good care of them."
"Next time, I won't let them go, so as not to distract His Majesty."
Your Majesty is the one who spoiled Yang Zi. Gongsun Li was also helpless and bowed to your Majesty.
"That's fine."
That being said, let's go together.
If you are afraid of the cold, stay in the palace car as much as possible.
"Father, eat rabbit."
the other side.
Xi'er put down the two rabbit legs in her hands.
Two cute little hands stretched out to another vessel. There was also rabbit meat there, which was prepared in a different way and stewed secretly.
"You."
The original two rabbit legs only took five or six bites.
Just threw it away.
It is really possible to become a spoiled person in the future.
Um.
Xi'er will also need to pay attention to her future teachings.
With this in mind, I looked at Dongjun and told him that when he left Xianyang, he should explain some things well.
******
Extremely cold!
After crossing the river, it was indeed freezing cold.
It's not the usual severe cold, but the kind of cold that's bone-chilling.
Faced with such bad weather, the number of patrolling soldiers was reduced by more than half, leaving only the most capable soldiers, wearing heavy armor and holding spears, following closely.
"It will be much better when we return from Hexi County."
When we left Xianyang, it was close to December.
It took more than half a month to travel from Guanzhong to Longxi.
It took a month to get to Longxi and Jingyuan City.
Stay in Jingyuan City for one month.
It's already over February now.
At this time, a ray of spring should bloom in the eastern sea, and even the willow branches will stretch out their buds. As for Xianyang Guanzhong, and even Longxi, it will be more than a month late.
In a month's time, the imperial brother's inspection vehicle returned from the two counties in Hexi.
"In the past, when Yan Ling was by my side, in autumn and winter, I liked to hold her like this, and my whole body would feel as warm as a warm flame."
"Your realm of the great sun has a unique charm. When the great sun is born, the scorching sun is gentle and gentle, which is very wonderful."
The patrol car drove into Wuwei County and went straight to Guzang along the main road, which is the administrative seat of Wuwei County. There were no traces of people along the way.
At this time, no one spends so much effort walking, and they are all waiting for the spring day that is not far away to start a new movement.
In the carriage, except for seeing His Majesty every day, Zhou Qing would stay inside, sit comfortably on the soft couch, embrace the warm fragrance of the sun, and write the "Tai Qing Zhen Jing".
If there wasn't a little kid next to me causing trouble, maybe I would be able to record the "Tai Qing Sutra" faster. No... now I have a horse-drawn carriage to tear up the paper and play with it.
""Tai Qing Zhen Jing"!"
"This volume... is extremely mysterious, and I have benefited a lot from it."
Pressing down the prince's casual palm with one hand, the charming and beautiful Concubine Dongjun Yan's long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her thin, close-fitting dark blue dress trailed to the floor.
The dark golden starry eyes flickered, and a scroll of scripture fell on the table. He chanted it slightly, and the breath on his body moved slightly, and the big sun harmonized it.
"Sir, we are reaching the land of Yuwei ahead."
"It is a slightly larger city in Wuwei County, with thousands of people gathering inside."
"Your Majesty sent someone to tell you that night is coming, and we must stop at the place where we are surrounded by women."
Nong Yu came forward and said something.
"Yuwei!"
"Is Li Xin there?"
Zhou Qing nodded.
I am very familiar with Wuwei County and Zhangye County. I conquered these two counties by myself, and I also gave them their names.
"Longxi General Li Xin, the Marquis of Guannei, is waiting with 50,000 troops."
Nong Yu smiled slightly.
"After passing the Yuwei area, there are not many places to stay and rest."
Zhou Qing raised his head, his purple eyes flashing, ignoring the obstruction of the high-speed car. Everything outside the car was reflected in the depths of his eyes, the sky and the earth were vast, and the cold was freezing.
The land was dry and yellow, and the green was not visible. Although there was grassland on both sides of the road, there were no cattle or horses walking on it. Only a long patrol caravan was moving steadily.
******
"Li Xin has met your Majesty!"
"The prince!"
The land surrounded by women.
The small town of Yuwei is only three to five miles in circumference.
A very small city.
The city was originally made of stone, but now it is made of water and stone. The whole city looks impressive, and there are many people in the city.
The emperor's brother stopped five miles outside the city.
Longxi General Li Xin, who had been waiting for many days, came forward wearing heavy armor and bowed deeply.
"Li Xin."
"You... look quite weathered."
"The two counties in Hexi are indeed very difficult."
"I have seen a lot along the way."
In front of the audience, Li Xin was wearing thick silver armor, just like the silver-armored young general in the past.
This Li Xin, who entered Xianyang Palace as a swordsmanship teacher nearly twenty years ago, the young-looking and majestic Li Xin back then has now become extraordinarily calm.
The battle against Chu was a heavy blow to him.
Unless Zhao Tuo and the commanders and princes rescued him in time, the 200,000-strong army would have been in trouble.
Later, Li Xin came to Longxi and took charge of the military affairs in Hexi. Now... his face has changed, and his eyebrows are more likely to have mottled traces of time.
The environment in the two counties in Hexi is worse than I imagined.
There are very few acres of land, and even though we have been farming continuously in recent years, it will take decades to achieve success.
It has mountains, grasslands, mixed deserts, and looming oases. It has an obvious geographical location, with the Western Region to the west and the Xiongnu to the north.
