Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 280 The Fire of Hope
The beauty of mountains and rivers is even more beautiful in people's hearts. If a person can't even eat enough, I'm afraid no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't compare with a piece of dry food.

Ziying on the return journey lost all interest in sightseeing because of the accident in Bolangsha. The group returned to Xianyang as quickly as possible without any rest and entertainment.

Although the first emperor's punishment has existed in name only, Ziying, who returned to Xianyang, was bored in the mansion in the name of recuperating from his wounds, still living an isolated life.

Except for Peng Yue and other former subordinates and a few comrades in the army, no one visits Ziying.

Before returning to Xianyang, an important task assigned by the first emperor to Ziying was to preside over the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum.

Lishan Mausoleum has been built since Emperor Shihuang came to the throne, but after the unification of the world, the mausoleum originally built according to the standard of royal tombs is no longer enough to set off the achievements of Emperor Shihuang.

Therefore, Prime Minister Wang Wan and others wrote a letter to use the power of the world to dig out the dangers of the mountains and rivers, to understand the secrets of the netherworld, and to expand the Lishan Mausoleum.

The first emperor thought so, and summoned 70 people from all over the world, including criminals from all over the world, soldiers from around the world, and soldiers from all over the world, to connect Jiuyou and Xiasanquan to vigorously expand the Lishan Mausoleum.

Before Ziying was in charge of this matter, Jiang Zuofu An, after Ziying's arrival, An was still the subordinate of Ziying to manage the matter.

An could have been said to belong to Ziying's family, so Ziying, the hands-off shopkeeper, was able to get rid of it so cleanly.

The reason why Ziying returned to Xianyang in advance had already returned to Xianyang with the post horse, so the ministers who stayed in Xianyang just thought that Ziying was seriously injured and recuperated behind closed doors.

However, the three daughters Sima Jingjing, Xia Ke, and Xue Ji, who are people close to Ziying, know that Ziying's wounds have scabbed over at this moment, and it may not be long before they can fully heal.

However, Ziying seemed to be a different person when he came back this time, shutting himself in the study for several days, depressed.

The three girls who were at a loss had no choice but to attack the maid Su Chan and several guards who returned with Ziying.

Asked in detail what Ziying had experienced along the way.

Among the three daughters, Xia Ke who knew Ziying the most was Xia Ke who was assigned by Du Ling to "personally" protect Ziying when Ziying was in Raoyang.

All of Ziying's schemes along the way, his ambitions, visions, including Ziying's character, Xia Ke, is well known.

After listening to Su Chan's introduction of the journey, Xia Ke roughly understood the reason why Ziying was so dull.

The night is slightly cool, and it is almost autumn, and some impatient leaves are already crumbling on the branches.

There was still a flickering light in Ziying's study room.

"It's getting cold, my husband should be careful not to catch a cold." Xia Ke embraced the fur coat, walked into the room slowly, and gently draped it on Ziying's shoulders.

Slowly approaching, Xia Ke quietly stuck to Ziying's back.

"Is there something you can't think about, husband?" Xia Ke asked softly, leaning on Ziying's back.

Feeling the softness behind her carefully, Ziying slowly hugged Xia Ke's delicate body with her hands behind her back and said, "Is it useless to be a husband? Back then in Langya, I watched three thousand virgins and boys being raped by them." They are kept in captivity like livestock, but there is nothing they can do.

This time, do you know that not one of the people in a radius of ten miles died.

All of this I can only watch helplessly, there is nothing I can do. "

After listening to Ziying's words, Xia Ke smiled sweetly and said: "It has been exactly 11 years since I met Jun Shang."

Speaking of this, Xia Ke and Ziying were already married, but his face still couldn't help flushing a little. "I remember that when we met for the first time, Jun Shang not only stuffed his stinky shoes into my mouth, but also told my concubine a ghost story all night."

Ziying couldn't help but smile when talking about the funny things when they met back then.

"At that time, I was young." Ziying swallowed a sigh of embarrassment and replied.

Speaking of it, Ziying was only 11 years old when he was in Raoyang, and the first 11 years he traveled through was limited by his age and had little communication with the outside world, even if he added his previous life to his relationship, he was still blank.

If he is assassinated again now, I am afraid that the assassin will never enjoy the "treatment" that Xia Ke had back then.

"Your Majesty, did you know that although I agreed to my mother to be my husband's bodyguard back then, it was more because I was grateful for my mother's life-saving grace." Xia Ke continued: "At that time, I only thought about protecting your safety, and I had no children. Feelings."

Xia Ke's Ziying understood what Xia Ke said. When she was an innocent girl with yellow flowers, it would be good not to take the opportunity to do something to her when she was guarding, based on what she did to her.

In fact, when they first got along, Ziying was really wary of Xia Ke doing this.

"But then I gradually fell in love with this 'shameless, obscene and unscrupulous' lord." Xia Ke continued: "Does your lord know that in Xia Ke's heart, you have always been an unparalleled hero in mine."

"You..." Ziying turned his head and was about to speak, but Xia Ke pressed his lips with one hand.

"Husband, don't talk yet, listen to my concubine." Xia Ke said softly:
"My husband already knew about my life experience. Both my parents died in a drought. When I was young, I knelt by the side of the road guarding my parents' bodies, hoping that someone would buy me so that they could be buried.

However, under the catastrophe at that time, people's names were worthless, and I was too young to do any work, so I knelt down for a day but no one cared about it.

But my mother took me in and buried my parents.

Regardless of what my mother thought back then, my mother is not only a lifesaver in my heart, but also a god-like existence.

So when my mother asked me to personally protect your safety, although I didn't want it in my heart, I honestly agreed.

It was my mother who saved me back then, so I will be grateful to Dade all my life.

But later, I learned that the man I was ordered to protect not only gave up all his wealth to help the victims, but even knelt down for the victims of the disaster.

I knew from the beginning that you are different from those young masters who spend their days drinking and drinking.

Your Majesty is a real person with a heart for the common people, and only such a person is worthy of my entrustment for the rest of my life. He is the hero in my heart.

Even in future wars, although your lord's methods are a little too extreme, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms still respect you, but I know that relatively speaking, in a war of the same scale, your lord's plan will cause the least casualties of.

If the King of Zhao State had such a heart-warming king back then, my parents would not have starved to death outside the city of Handan!

Your Majesty says you are useless, but what you don’t know, Your Majesty, is just like my feelings for my mother who saved my life. Your Majesty’s reputation in the land of Yanzhao is comparable to that of a god.

Many families even enshrine the name of the emperor to this day, praying for the emperor day and night.

If such a person is still a useless person, Xia Ke hopes that there will be more 'useless people' like Jun Shang in the whole world.

The common people of the Li people never forget their kindness. Your Majesty has done enough, and he has done his best. All the common people in the world will see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts.Doesn't the name of the king's "virtuous king" not explain everything?

I know what your majesty is worried about all the time, but for Daqin, the existence of your majesty is a hope. If your majesty is silent, there will be no hope for the common people in that day. "

After saying this, looking at Ziying who was lost in thought, Xia Ke gently tightened his collar for him, and then quietly retreated.

At this moment, perhaps what Ziying needs more is to be alone.
