Looking at the slightly swarthy young man in front of him, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile softly, waved his hand, and lifted him up with invisible strength. At close range, the clothes on the other person exuded a faint light.
of odor.
Even the soft hair looked a little gray, which was caused by dust falling on it. Speaking of which, this should be the second official meeting between him and Li Si since the official meeting in Xinzheng.
We had met him from a distance before in the Wenxin Academy. At that time, Li Si was still compiling "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" under Lu Buwei. Later, in the Xingle Palace, he had a detailed night's discussion with Qin Wangzheng to select a route.
Until today.
"Hahaha, there is no need for this. Xuanqing's trip here is just for a casual look. It has nothing to do with your canal construction. The king is looking forward to diverting the water into the water and covering the land in Guanzhong."
"If this canal is built, your Majesty will not be stingy with official titles. However, why is there no order for the canal?"
Moving his eyes from Li Si to the other plumbers, from the appearance, he is almost the same as Li Si. His skin is extremely dark and his clothes are ragged. However, here, even if he has good clothes, he will be like this for at least one day.
form.
Scanning the many people in front of the shogunate, the leader was Li Si. However, according to the official position of the canal builder, the Hequling Order was the first, and Zheng Guo was the first. Could it be that he was not here, or he did not want to pay attention to such common etiquette?
"Master, please forgive me. When we were surveying the river the day before yesterday, the canal commander accidentally fell into it and was exposed to the wind and cold. He has been resting in the tent for the past two days and has difficulty getting up, so he did not come here."
Hearing Zhou Qing's question, Li Si took a step forward, bowed his hands, and pointed with one hand to a tent not far away, where Zheng Guo should be. His words were mixed with silent affection.
After all, I and Zheng Guo also studied together at Xiaoshengxian Manor. It was quite emotional to be together again after so many years.
"Is there a doctor here?"
In these days, catching wind and cold is not a trivial matter, and if it is delayed for two days, it is even more fatal. If you are sick, you need a doctor. A few months ago when I was in Sanchuan County, I had an appointment with the doctor.
The other party also arrived as scheduled and introduced this person to the Qin Dynasty. He was awarded the title of Medical Officer of Xianyang Palace. One was to diagnose diseases in Xianyang, and the other was to follow the advice of Zhou Qing and cultivate medical talents.
Nian Duan did not refuse, but even if the words were cultivated, they could not involve the essence of the sect's inheritance. Zhou Qing did not care about this. If he wanted to become a real healer, he would not have the level of more than ten years.
Achievements.
Suddenly I heard that Zheng Guo was suffering from wind and cold, and his expression could not help but darken. His spiritual awareness spread. There were quite a few sick people in the tent not far away. He didn't know who Zheng Guo was. He looked at Li Si and stepped at the same time.
Walk towards the tent area.
"This..., doctors are new to the Qin Dynasty, and doctors are treated by nobles, no less than ordinary people. However, there are several witch doctors here who know a little bit about medicine and can treat some people."
"Master, Zheng Guo is here!"
Hundreds of schools have been enemies of Qin for a long time. In the entire hundred years, only the doctor Bian Que came to Qin to treat Xiaogong. After that, he ceased to exist. As for ordinary doctors, it was impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with him.
These people are already very satisfied with having a witch doctor by their side. They dare not ask for anything else. It's just that the cold syndrome is a serious symptom for ordinary witch doctors.
Seeing Zhou Qing's direction, Li Si quickly trotted forward, stretched out his arm and pointed in another direction, taking the lead to lead the way for Zhou Qing.
"Li Si and I will just go ahead. You can go back to your places. Don't delay the canal work!"
After taking two steps, Zhou Qing noticed the large army following behind him. Zhou Qing said helplessly and glanced at Li Si. Above the river canal, He Qucheng still had the power.
As expected, Li Si understood quickly. After ten breaths, the waterworkers bowed to Zhou Qing again and returned to the original shogunate. For the protector of the Qin State, who was also the commander of the carriage, this was them.
A big shot that I met for the first time.
After the large army left, only Li Si and Zhou Qing's group were left. Following Li Si's route, the civilians on both sides were curious. Over the past few days, Li Si and the others had known each other.
He is the second most successful person and holds a high position of authority.
Looking at Zhou Qing and others, they are dressed in luxurious clothes and have good temperament. At a glance, they can tell that they are definitely not ordinary people. They are probably important people in the Qin court, and important people above Li Si. Thinking of this, they don't dare to get close.
, even if you walk, you stay far away.
After a hundred breaths, I walked into the area where the tents gathered, and all kinds of strange smells came to my face. I felt it with a thought, and my six senses moved to automatically filter this smell.
He watched Li Si stop in front of a tent that was just like any other tent. Of course, it was slightly different. There were two capable dark men guarding the door of this tent. When they saw Li Si, they quickly saluted and then retreated to a tent.
side.
"Master, please!"
He nodded to Zhou Qing, lifted up the tent, and a small door was revealed. He walked into it alone. Zhou Qing followed, followed by the Jingyang County Magistrate and Yan Lingji. However, he looked at the space inside the tent and quickly waved to the people behind him.
Stop, stay out.
The tent is not big, but inside, everything is neat. A large number of silk pictures are piled together. The evening has passed, and two oil lamps are lighting up inside the tent. In front of a table in the innermost corner, a figure
He was lying on it, constantly drawing and writing something.
"Li Si, why are you here?"
"Are they?"
Sensing the movement in the tent, the thin figure under the dim light finally raised his head and looked at Li Si with a pair of bright eyes. Then, his eyes fell on Zhou Qing and the Jingyang County Magistrate.
"Haha, brother Qu Ling, this is Mr. Xuan Qingzi, the protector of the country who came from Xianyang. This is the magistrate of Jingyang County. According to the order of the king, he will be stationed here next."
The two of them should be very familiar. Li Si smiled brightly, stepped forward quickly, pulled Zheng Guo, who was wearing thin clothes, from the desk, and quickly introduced Zhou Qing and others to Zheng Guo.
After finishing his words, Zheng Guo looked stunned for a moment, and then quickly stood up. Seeing that there was a stunningly beautiful woman from a foreign race in the tent, he quickly adjusted his clothes, raised his hands and gestures, his movements were a bit big, and his energy and energy were a bit low.
The person seemed extremely staggering.
"There is no need to be polite. The river canal brings wind and cold to the body, and the body is weak. It should be well rested. Why continue to work hard, waste energy, and aggravate the condition? The affairs of the river canal are mostly related to you."
"It happened that when Xuanqing was out of Xianyang on this trip, he took some commonly used elixirs from the hands of the doctor Nianduan. The disease is caused by wind and cold. You should take Qufeng Pills. This was prepared by Nianduan himself. It should have miraculous effects, so I gave it to you!
"
He took a step forward and looked at Zheng Guo in front of him. He was an extremely thin young man with extremely dark skin and a height of almost six feet. He was dressed in light gray linen clothes and his hair was combed casually behind him. He looked slightly slim.
Messy.
Although he is not very old, there are already many wrinkles between his eyebrows, and there are white flashes between his hair. Blessed by the wind and cold disease on his body, the whole person seems to be very energetic, but in fact he is supported by a single essence.
This won't last long.
With slender eyebrows and big eyes, he met Zhou Qing's gaze and bowed quickly. His head was lowered, as if he was a little ashamed, as if he didn't dare to look at her, or because of other reasons...
He slowly raised one hand, his palm stretched flat, and a dazzling black and white mysterious light flashed. After taking a breath, a white jade bottle appeared in his hand. With a flick of his finger, it landed on the table not far away.
"Zheng Guo was in panic. The construction of the canal was not completed. It was contaminated by wind and cold, which delayed the progress and disappointed the king."
His head was bowed deeply and he did not dare to raise it. He looked at the extra jade bottle on the desk with the corner of his eye. His expression was even more complicated. For a moment, he bowed his hands again and his words were a little hoarse, as if he was declining.
"It will take a hundred years for Qin to lead the Jing into the water, so the king is not in a hurry."
"If you fall ill at this time and delay your progress as a result, you will truly disappoint the king. Besides, as far as I am concerned, you absolutely do not have to be like this."
"Why did you enter the Qin Kingdom a few years ago? Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei knew about these seemingly secret matters. Now the king also knows about it, Xuan Qing also knows about it, and many people in the Qin court also know about it."
"Do you know how the Qin court's civil and military officials dealt with you when they found out about this?"
Zhou Qing didn't care about Zheng Guo's reaction. As the perpetrator of King Han's plan to weaken Qin, the other party was undoubtedly under tremendous pressure at this time. First, for South Korea, his relatives and families were all in South Korea. If
If the canal cannot be repaired successfully, the family will die.
Secondly, as the most outstanding person of the generation of water engineers of the Shui family, for a hundred years, the countries in Guandong have been weak and have no money to support the construction of various rivers and canals. As a result, the Qin State that dominated the Warring States Period became the dream of the people of the Shui family.
land.
Moreover, there are many water systems in Guanzhong, Bashu, and Longxi where the Qin State is located. For the Shui family, it is a first-class wonderful place for water control. If you can use one or two, you will not learn anything.
At this juncture, the two were in conflict, so Zheng Guo could not help but do so.
However, after Zhou Qing finished speaking, Zheng Guo, who was still bowing his head, was suddenly shocked. Then, his whole body seemed to stiffen, and he did not dare to get up, and his body became more and more bowed.
Go down.
Even Li Sidu's expression changed slightly. After hearing Master Xuanqing's words, the last words Lu Buwei, the Wenxin Hou, said to him flashed through his mind. That was what he said to Zheng Guo: It is a good life to build a canal, but it is also a sin.
Achievable.
I had already thought of this at that time, but I didn't take it seriously. Now, after hearing Master Xuanqing's words, it's possible that what I thought was true, and that Zheng Guo had an ulterior motive for entering Qin.
"In the Xingle Palace, the important civil and military ministers suggested that he should be suppressed and killed immediately!"
Another word fell, and suddenly, Zheng Guo's body bowed more and more, his head even lowered, and the entire tent fell into a silent silence. Although the Jingyang County Magistrate behind him was strange, he did not dare to speak.
.
"However, your Majesty has made a clear decision to pursue the long-term interests of the country. Zheng Guo, as long as you build this canal with your heart, the things you are worried about will no longer exist. Even if you are guilty of sin, you may not be able to be knighted if you succeed in building the canal!"
"Today, in order to prevent the construction of this canal, all the countries in Guandong have sent people to destroy dozens of water canal passes in the Five Rivers of Qin. For your safety, I have written this letter to the king. Xuan Qing is here. His main duty is to protect your safety."
"Since I entered Xianyang and became the protector of the country, you are the first one besides the guardian king!"
