After being read by the First Emperor, I became the favorite of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 24

Yun Jiao then remembered that this was indeed the case and could only nod her head: "Okay, okay."

After that, there was another young man in the group.

Because Yun Jiao always likes to tinker with some novel things, and Yuan Bai likes to delve into the Mohist machine arts very much. When he sees the things Yun Jiao tinkers with, he is also very curious. The two of them often get together to study this and that, and their relationship gradually develops. Became familiar with each other.

Of course, only for Yun Jiao. When facing other people, Yuan Bai always stutters when speaking, and is even more introverted than Chang An.

Yuan Bai was obsessed with all kinds of mechanical skills, and almost every day he ran up to Yun Jiao and asked her this and that.

In order to show his sincerity, Yuan Bai was even willing to exchange Mohist swordsmanship, but only to teach Yun Jiao alone.

Yun Jiao thought that Mohist swordsmanship was also a kind of inheritance. Once you learn it, if you travel back in time one day, you can also use it to study Mohist culture.

With this in mind, she agreed, and then discovered something.

The swordsmanship taught by Yuan Bai, for some reason, seems to be the same as the swordsmanship taught by Ying Zheng...

Somewhat similar.

After having this idea, Yun Jiao took a closer look and found that there were indeed some similarities.

However, what Ying Zheng taught her seemed to be simplified Mohist swordsmanship moves.

After discovering this, Yun Jiao was briefly surprised, and then began to seriously learn martial arts from Yuan Bai.

In exchange, Yun Jiao told Yuan Bai how to make gunpowder——

Of course, this gunpowder was a formula she came up with after testing that day, and the specifics still needed to be improved.

Hearing Yun Jiao talk about the magic of gunpowder, Yuan Bai suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked down at the wooden slip in his hand, and murmured: "How could there be such a magical thing in the world?"

Yun Jiao smiled: "Of course."

Speaking of which, if the nobles in ancient times had not wanted to pursue immortality and asked the alchemists to help make elixirs, this gunpowder might not have appeared.

In a flash, the time came to Qingming.

The group of people returned to their respective homes to worship their ancestors, and Yun Jiaoshun recommended Yuan Bai to Ying Zheng.

After seeing what Yuan Bai brought, Ying Zheng raised a smile and looked up at the young boy with stern eyes: "What do you want?"

Yuan Bai bowed and bowed in a proper manner: "The goddess is very knowledgeable, and the common people want to worship her as their teacher. I hope the king will agree."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Jiao next to him.

Yun Jiao touched her nose, feeling somewhat guilty for no reason.

[The things I tinker with are all things passed down from my ancestors, and I dare not say that they are my invention alone...]

An undetectable smile flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and then he looked at Yuan Bai with a calm expression: "Since you are willing to study, then stay."

Yuan Bai hurriedly thanked Jun for his kindness.

……

Because they were busy with ancestor worship, the group planned to finish the ancestor worship and then go to Handan County.

It's night, it's raining in Xianyang.

Yun Jiao sat under the corridor, watching the rain falling in the courtyard, enjoying the comfort brought by nature, squinting her eyes and closing her eyes to listen.

"Jiao Jiao is so excited to watch the rain in the middle of the night." A deep voice came slowly.

Yun Jiao turned her head and met a pair of beautiful red and phoenix eyes.

Ying Zheng sat next to him at some time. His mysterious robe was loose and he looked lazy. He was playing with the jade ring on his thumb.

Seeing her look, Ying Zheng also looked up.

After not seeing each other for more than half a month, the little girl seemed to have lost some weight, but her eyes were still bright.

She is very happy.

"It's not that I'm interested, it's mainly because I can't sleep, so I just came out to sit for a while." Yun Jiao touched her nose sheepishly.

She is not an arty person and is not interested in these things.

"Are you hungry?" Ying Zheng laughed and asked suddenly.Yun Jiao was stunned: "Huh?"

"What I mean is, in this situation, it's okay to have a drink - a late-night snack."

Hearing Ying Zheng speak so straightforwardly, Yun Jiao didn't react for a while, but she laughed after a moment: "Why don't you, Your Majesty, go to rest?"

Ying Zheng looked at the person in front of him with a smile in his eyes: "I'm not sleepy either."

"Then, where is the wine?"

Ying Zheng raised his hand slightly, and Ah Xiao next to him immediately brought a wooden plate over.

There were two bottles of wine and a pile of fruits on the plate, which looked like they had been prepared a long time ago.

After putting down the things, Ah Xiao silently retreated to the side and glanced at his lord, with an expression in his eyes that was hard to describe.

After the goddess left, the lord was busy with political affairs, working day and night, with very little time for rest——

When I heard that the goddess had brought a young man back, I was stunned to read the memorial for half an hour without changing it.

In the middle of the night, I had obviously prepared wine and arrived in front of the goddess's house. I saw a fire in front of the goddess's house. I stood outside the door for most of the time with a cup of tea, and then pretended to be passing by casually and walked in.

He finally understood that the drunkard's lord was not interested in drinking.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Ying Zheng played with the bronze wine bottle and said casually: "Jiao Jiao seems to be very familiar with that Mohist tycoon?"

After asking the question, Ying Zheng looked up and clenched the wine bottle imperceptibly with his slender fingers.

At this time, the little girl was already a little drunk. When she heard Ying Zheng's question, she was confused for a moment and replied: "Xiao Bai. He has not been aware of dangers since he was a child. I am afraid that he will come to Xianyang by himself and be deceived on the way. , and brought them back together..."

After hearing Yun Jiao's explanation, all the worries in Ying Zheng's heart were instantly swept away.

That’s it, then it’s okay.

"But having said that..." Yun Jiao put her elbows on her knees and propped her chin up to look at him, "Why is the swordsmanship Xiaobai taught me so similar to the swordsmanship taught by the king? It's not that the Mohist swordsmanship is basically the same except for special circumstances. It’s not spread to outsiders.”

Ying Zheng's eyelids twitched and he coughed: "Jiao Jiao, it is said that there are special circumstances. I met a noble lady when I was a child, and she taught me swordsmanship."

Yun Jiao understood.

[I see, no wonder they are so similar, that’s all I’m saying. 】

After gathering her thoughts, Yun Jiao and Ying Zheng continued drinking.

Unknowingly, Yun Jiao was so sleepy that she fell asleep with her head leaning on the wooden pillar.

"Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao?"

Ying Zheng shouted twice and saw that she was really asleep. He pulled the wooden plate between the two of them and slowly moved it to the side. He stretched out his hand and carefully lifted the little girl into his arms.

Her furry head immediately rested in his arms.

Ying Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at Yun Jiao's well-behaved face. All the coldness in his usual life melted away at this moment, leaving only the gentleness of the warm March sun.

His eyes fell on the Pisces jade pendant on Yun Jiao's waist again. He paused and looked up at the sky.

The rain stopped and the sky cleared slightly.

The long night is bright, and the bright moon appears again.

Ying Zheng looked at the moon, his red and phoenix eyes slightly absent-minded.

He is greedy.

He wants to have his cake and eat it too.

But greedy people will always be punished.

But if the punishment falls on him, it will allow his little god to stay a little longer——

A little longer, a little longer.

Then he would enjoy it as if it were sweet rice.
