Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Chapter 166 It’s only two months!

Mid-February.

Early spring.

The snow melts.

At this time, almost two months had passed since Ying Zheng arrived in Hanzhong.

In the past two months, Ying Zheng would rest at [Mo Mansion] at night and spend most of his time wandering around [Shengping Town] during the day.

[Shengping Town] is now not only a trading market, but also gradually begins to have many entertainment activities.

certainly.

Mr. Mo’s guidance is indispensable in this.

It's like a tavern that sells all kinds of inferior fruit wine and specializes in the leisure of ordinary people.

Chess and card room where you can play mahjong.

and some establishments operating the most original entertainment activities.

It's a pity that the current entertainment venues in Hanzhong are of a slightly lower grade, so Mr. Mo didn't go there much.

In general.

Now [Shengping Town] has begun to gradually transform from a pure 'free trading market' to a comprehensive business circle.

It was precisely because of what he saw with his own eyes during this period that Ying Zheng realized how rapidly Hanzhong was developing today. To put it in the simplest words:

Today's Hanzhong is really changing every day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

······

However, during this period, Ying Zheng enjoyed the treatment he deserved as a king for the first time. This can be seen from Ying Zheng's increasingly blessed figure.

"... Exactly: It is rare for a mage to encounter monsters, and his temperament is in harmony with the demons. After all, I don't know if I can catch the monsters here and save Tang Monk. I can predict what will happen next, and I will listen to the explanation in the next chapter."

In the back garden of Mo Mansion, in a greenhouse in the [Orchard].

Mo Jun lay on a recliner covered with soft tiger skin and finished his last words.

Next to him, Ying Zheng, who was also leaning on a recliner like Mo Jun, and whose chin was obviously thicker than two months ago, suddenly opened his eyes and said.

"No more?"

"Let's get here first today! Mr. Gainey must be a little tired too."

Lord Mo looked ahead at Gai Nie, who was sitting in front of a wooden table with his back straight like a sharp sword. He was recording the "Journey to the West" dictated by Lord Mo one by one with a pen and paper in his hand, and slowly spoke.

It's interesting to say that Mo Junwen's original purpose of copying "Journey to the West" was just to create a bait for the subsequent opening of the academy.

As a result, Ying Zheng accidentally saw it one day, and he became addicted to it all of a sudden.

After all, although there was a sect of "novelists" during the Warring States Period, the novelists mainly recorded travel notes and biographies. This is the first time that a literary genre like "Journey to the West" has appeared in the world.

Especially when it involves 'immortals'. Seeing the vivid descriptions of a series of immortals in "Journey to the West" made Ying Zheng look at Mo Jun in a way that felt wrong.

As for why Gai Nie became this ‘scribe’.

This involves another issue.

Mr. Mo is a time traveler.

So...get it!

He was not very good at using the brush, which caused Ying Zheng to dislike Mo Jun's handwriting.

But now the paper is in the confidentiality stage.

Although there are people in Mo Mansion who know some uses of 'paper', it is a pity that both Heiyu and Jian Jiuyuan are pure charlatans. It's not that they don't have literary literacy, it's just that they don't have much.

So in the end, after much selection, Gai Nie, a man who came from Guigu and was proficient in literary, military, military and political skills, became the best and only candidate.

Gai Nie didn't have any objections to becoming this 'scribe'.

It just feels a little weird.

If he remembered correctly, he should be the chief bodyguard of King Qin... Ah, no, he was one of the contemporary descendants of Guigu.

But what he is doing now seems, probably, slightly inconsistent with the major he studied in Guigu!

"Tsk~~ It's boring!"

Ying Zheng smacked his lips twice and felt that there was no taste in his mouth, so he casually pulled a grape from the grape trellis next to him, wiped it casually, and put it into his mouth.

The corner of Mo Jun's mouth twitched slightly.

He always felt that something was not right about the current situation.

If he remembered correctly, Ying Zheng in the original work should be a handsome, cold, and domineering emperor. How come you've only lived here for two months and now you've become this virtuous?

"That's all, let's stop here today! If Mo Qing has finished writing the rest, remember to send a copy to Xianyang Palace. By the way, the handwriting on my copy should be better."

"Your Majesty is leaving?"

"Does Qing Mo really want me to leave?"

As if he heard the strangeness in Mo Jun's tone, Ying Zheng glanced sideways at Mo Jun and said.

Mo Jun shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, no...it's just that I think something happened suddenly."

"It's nothing sudden. I just took advantage of the short-term stability brought by the snowstorm to have time to go to Mo Qing's place to have a half-day leisure. Now that early spring has arrived, the consequences of the snowstorm are probably coming."

A hint of worry flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes. Although the Qin State responded to the heavy snow disaster in a timely manner, under the current conditions, the power of the imperial court was destined to be unable to truly rescue every part of the Qin State.

As for these places where relief was not reached, there was no news about them because they were buried by heavy snow. But now that the snow has melted, the damage in these places may be completely exposed.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. With the current foundation of the Qin State, no matter what kind of consequences the snow disaster will bring, we can handle it."

"Hahaha~~What Qing Mo said is reasonable, but I am unreasonably worried."

Ying Zheng laughed three times, causing his double chin to tremble. The scene looked a bit eye-catching.

······

The second day.

Lord Mo sent Ying Zheng to the gate of Mo Mansion.

"Qing Mo, please don't forget what you promised me."

Before getting on the carriage, Ying Zheng suddenly spoke in a low voice to Lord Mo.

Lord Mo immediately replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will remember this."

I don’t know what happened, but Ying Zheng only stayed with Mo Jun for two months. Not only did his appearance change slightly, but his face also became a lot thicker.

In the past, Ying Zheng would not take the initiative to ask for anything from Lord Mo because of his dignity as a king.

But recently, the other party feels a bit like a broken person.

This time I came to Hanzhong County. Not only did I eat, drink and have fun, but I actually learned how to eat and take it with me. When I returned to Xianyang this time, I not only took ten knives of white paper and fifty kilograms of fruits and vegetables from Mr. Mo, He even specifically ordered Mr. Mo to send someone to install a 'heater' in Xianyang Palace.

"That's good. I can rest assured that Mo Qing is doing the work."

Ying Zheng patted Mo Jun on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then prepared to get into the carriage with a five-month-old belly that took two months to grow.

And just when Ying Zheng got on the carriage and Zhao Gaogang was about to drive away.

Suddenly.

I saw Lord Mo asking Heiyu to bring over a fruit basket again, and this time it was not handed to Ying Zheng, but to Zhao Gao.

"Servant Zhao, this is a small thank you gift from me. They are all worthless trinkets. Please don't be polite, Chamberlain Zhao." Mr. Mo took the fruit basket from Hei Yu's hand with a smile and handed it to Zhao Gao. .

"Master Shengping, you must not do it. This slave cannot accept such an expensive gift!" Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, and then said with "sincerity and fear".

"Alas~~ What did Chamberlain Zhao say? Chamberlain Zhao helped me clear my grievances before and indirectly saved my life. Is it possible that my life is not worth this fruit?" Mo Jun said deliberately with a straight face.

"You can't do it, you absolutely can't do it. That day, the slave just picked up something that someone else put in front of the door, and then handed it over to the king. He is not the savior of Lord Shengping. Lord Shengping must never want it. You've destroyed your slave." Zhao Gao said, becoming more and more frightened.

However, Lord Mo directly forced the fruit basket to Zhao Gao, and then said with a serious face: "Servant Zhao, please don't be polite. You know that there were so many rooms in the eunuch's courtyard, why did others insist on putting the 'evidence' in you?" In front of the door of your room, this is the fate between you and me!"

"······"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gao's expression froze instantly.

Ying Zheng, who was watching the show, was also slightly startled.

yes!

There were so many eunuch rooms in the eunuch court that day, why was the 'evidence' from the net delivered to the door of Zhao Gao's room?

This is the thought.

The look in Ying Zheng's eyes towards Zhao Gao gradually became somewhat meaningful.

"Minister Zhao, since this is Lord Shengping's kindness, just accept it!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's voice from inside the carriage, Zhao Gao's expression suddenly became stiffer.

"yes!"

Under Ying Zheng's order, Zhao Gao could only take the fruit basket from Lord Mo and thanked him: "I thank Lord Shengping."

Mo Jun narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You're welcome."

Before coming to Hanzhong on this trip, Zhao Gao already had a vague premonition, but after staying here for two months with Ying Zheng, nothing happened, and Zhao Gao gradually relaxed a little.

But he never expected that when he was about to leave, Mo Jun would suddenly stab him in the back.

This backstab was too harsh.

Zhao Gao was stunned with just one stab.

At this moment, Zhao Gao was finally sure that Mo Jun had really noticed something was wrong with him, but what puzzled him was how did Mo Jun find out?

Carrying full of doubts and Ying Zheng's suspicion, Zhao Gao drove away from Mo Mansion.

Seeing Ying Zheng's frame gradually disappearing, the corners of Mo Jun's mouth curved slightly.

Ever since he was stabbed in the back by Luo Wang last time, Mo Jun had been holding a breath in his heart. Now that he stabbed Zhao Gao in the back, one tenth of the breath in Mo Jun's heart had finally dissipated.

Mo Jun never thought of killing Zhao Gao because it made no sense at all.

This is not official history after all.

Zhao Gao is just one of the ‘spokespersons’ selected by Luo Wang.

At least for now.

Therefore, even if Mr. Mo finds a way to kill Zhao Gao, other 'spokesmen' will inevitably be selected and sent to Xianyang Palace in the subsequent net, and at that time, the new 'spokesmen' will only be more hidden.

Now Zhao Gao is at least on the surface as Luo Wang's 'spokesman', and Mo Jun also has some plot advantages.

If Zhao Gao dies.

The subsequent development will inevitably become more troublesome for Mr. Mo.

However, although he cannot be killed, it is still okay to disgust Zhao Gao a few times. As the saying goes, treat the other person in his own way.

Mo Jun is not good at power struggles.

But when it comes to revenge, Mr. Mo is too thoughtful about it.

Who told him to be so narrow-minded!

When Ying Zheng's carriage completely disappeared, Lord Mo slowly turned around and returned to the Mo Mansion. At the same time, he dropped a sentence: "Tell Chen Jinghui to prepare to recruit people to build the academy."
