When Zhao Kuo brought Li Mu, Sima Shang and others to the vicinity of Xianyang, Zhao Kang was loudly explaining to them the situation of Qin. The situation of Qin was a little different from what Li Mu and Sima Shang thought. There was a big difference between Qin and Zhao. The most obvious difference was on the roads. The roads of Qin were very perfect. There were roads connected between each county town, and even between towns. Such a road was enough to allow the carriage to pass smoothly.

Moreover, the construction of the Qin State was also very distinctive. Zhao Kuo always felt that the Qin people had obsessive-compulsive disorder because their neat and symmetrical architectural style was really conspicuous. The Qin State's villages were square, forming tic toe. The interior house construction was like this, leaving a street with neat houses on both sides. Even arable land was the same. The well-field system had long been broken, but the well-field still existed.

Sima Shang was very curious. He widened his eyes, looked at both sides of the road, and pulled Zhao Kang to ask constantly. On the road, he could occasionally see groups of soldiers... No, it was the people, but these people were serious and moved towards the arable land neatly. It was difficult for people to tell whether they were farmers or soldiers. Adult males in Qin had to undergo training, and the number of trainings in Qin was the most frequent in various countries.

When they arrived in Xianyang, Sima Shang exclaimed, it turned out that Xianyang really had no city walls.

From afar, Zhao Kuo saw a group of people waiting. The number was not large, most of them were samurai who were accompanying him. The warriors stood around and no one was allowed to approach. Zhao Kuo saw that there were only two people waiting, one was Ying Zheng and the other was Lv Buwei. Zhao Kuo walked out of the car, Li Mu and Sima Shang looked at each other, and also got off the carriage. Zhao Kang helped Tian get off the car again.

"Father..." The King of Qin leaned over to pay homage to Zhao Kuo. When there were no ministers around him, the King of Qin called Zhao Kuo by his father. Zhao Kuo nodded as a return gift. Ying Zheng then looked at Li Mu, Sima Shang and others standing behind him. Now, the three generals all widened their eyes and looked at the tall man in front of him. Sima Shang was stunned for a long time before asking: "Zheng???"

Ying Zheng smiled and bowed, saying, "Zheng greets three Zhongfu."

Li Mu looked at Zhao Zheng in front of him. When he left Zhao State, he was less than his waist and was just a cute little guy. But now, his changes are so great and elegant... Li Mu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly saluted Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng is not the little guy he used to back then. He is the king of a country, and no matter which country he is, he cannot be rude.

This is the atmosphere of this era. Even the kings of hostile countries can often get the respect that the king deserves. Seeing Li Mu taking the lead in giving the tribute, Sima Shang and Tian Yue hurriedly bowed. Ying Zheng walked forward with a smile and hurriedly asked them to get up. He said, "All the lords are my elders. I still remember the things I did when I was young... Please don't have to be too polite."

He took Li Mu's hand and said seriously: "Please get in the car."

He personally brought Li Mu and three generals into the car, and Zhao Kuo was naturally among them. Fortunately, the King of Qin's carriage was big enough to accommodate so many people. Ying Zheng showed great affection. He looked at the elders to face the elders. This scene was not like a king coming to meet the surrendered general, but a junior coming to greet his elders. Zhao Kuo knew that he didn't have to say much, Zheng could handle these things well.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng successfully let these people go down in a few words. The carriage was driving on the road, but Ying Zheng was still reminiscing with them. He mentioned the Mafu Township and his childhood, which made Sima Shang laugh... Until Li Mu talked about the death of Gong Ping, Ying Zheng was silent. He said: "When he followed his father to leave Mafu, Gong Ping wanted me to hug him, but I refused... Alas..."

"You were young at that time and didn't know these things."

"Yes, it would be better if I was a few years older."

When the carriage came outside the palace gate, Ying Zheng pulled them into the palace, but Lu Buwei hurriedly followed Zhao Kuo. Lu Buwei said with a wry smile: "Marquis Wucheng, you almost destroyed my strategy... I spent thousands of gold, hundreds of horses, and used nearly a thousand Qin warriors... Fortunately, Li Mu left Zhao." Zhao Kuo knew that he was indeed in the matter.

He also apologized to Lu Buwei for his mistakes, but Lu Buwei did not come to him to ask for guilt. Lu Buwei said: "And Li Mu, Sima Shang, and Tian Yue are all famous generals in the world. If they can fight for Qin, a king of the world will be within reach... Please convince them and let them stay in Qin..." This is Lu Buwei's purpose. Zhao Kuo was not sure whether these three people would serve Qin.

Although they have all experienced betrayal, not everyone can be determined to help others destroy their own country. Even people like Han Fei cannot let go of it for a long time and often go to Yingchuan County to worship their ancestors... What's more, Li Mu and Sima Shang, the generals who have been fighting with Qin all their lives, want them to surrender directly to their original enemies and even help them deal with their own country. Zhao Kuo thinks this is unlikely.

But he still wanted to try it. Lu Buwei said it well. If these three people could join in, it would have great benefits to Qin. Sima Shang was good at attacking, Tian Yue was good at guarding, Li Mu was good at defending and attacking... When they walked into the palace, there were no one else in the palace. Ying Zheng sat in the upper position, and everyone sat on both sides of him. Ying Zheng talked about family matters for a while, and then suddenly said: "I was born in Zhao and grew up in Zhao... Zhao was also my hometown."

When the topic involved Zhao State, everyone fell silent.

Ying Zheng continued: "I have never understood why my father always wanted to say that he would be the king of the Qin State until I became the king of Qin State. I understand... The constant wars between countries have caused the people to live in poverty. Every year, nearly 100,000 innocent people die in the war... The farmland is deserted, the officials are fierce, the taxes are harsh, and the labor service is constantly... If you want to end such a disaster, you can only be unified!"

"It is enough to turn the whole world into a country, without war, and the people can farm at home with peace of mind."

"I want to rule the world, not for my selfish desires, nor for Qin, but for the whole world... General Li Mu, all countries will become a country, which has no impact on the people of all countries. They will not lose anything. On the contrary, they can live better... My father once said: You are the Great Wall of Zhao and you vow to protect Zhao. I want to ask you, are you willing to help me and save the suffering people of Zhao?"

Ying Zheng stared at Li Mu's eyes and his words were very direct.

Li Mu, Sima Shang and several others did not say anything, Ying Zheng said again: "I can guarantee that after the end of the world's war, the people in all places will live a wealthy life, reduce taxes, exempt corvee, and cultivate and maintain health... no one will be starved to death, frozen to death, and forced to death!" As he said, he looked at Li Mu again, and Li Mu slowly stood up. He hesitated for a long time before he leaned over to the King of Qin.

"Please allow me not to go to Zhao State."

Ying Zheng laughed. Li Mu's meaning was very simple. He could serve Qin, but he would not attack Zhao. This was nothing to Ying Zheng. If you don't attack Zhao, you can attack Chu, or Yan... Qi... Ying Zheng looked at Sima Shang and Tian Yue, Sima Shang stood up and said, "I am willing to obey your orders." This person is even more direct. He has no nostalgia for Zhao.

Only Tian Yue said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to do it, but I'm injured and no one helps me. I can't walk until today... I really can't serve you, I hope you forgive me..." Ying Zheng naturally did not force it. Tian Yue's legs were pressed by a carriage, and his injuries were a little serious... In this way, Zhao Kuo didn't speak, and Ying Zheng successfully convinced the two generals to officially join the Qin State.

Lu Buwei once again felt that the king had really grown up.

The King of Qin rewarded the three generals with food and other supplies, and arranged for them to live in Xianyang first. After leaving the palace, Zhao Kuo took them to his home. In addition to Tian Yue, who wanted to cultivate, two people came to Zhao Kuo's mansion. They paid homage to Yi. Yi was also very excited to see his old friends in his hometown. Of course, they also saw Zhao Kuo's youngest daughter Shan, who was a little shy and dared not come out.

Zhao Kuo took them to see his mother.

"Mother...Li Mu, Sima Shang and the others are here..."

"who?"

"Li Mu! Sima Shang! I am my former friend..."

Zhao Kuo explained for a long time, and Zhao's mother remembered them. Zhao's mother couldn't help but stretch out her hand, touched the faces of Li Mu and Sima Shang, and cried, "I can't recognize you." As she grew older, Zhao's mother became more and more crying. When she cried like this, everyone felt uncomfortable, so Li Mu and Sima Shang started to greet her. Everyone had a meal together, and they didn't leave until evening.

Zhao Kuo sat in the courtyard, looking at Yi who was busy in the distance, lowered his head, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Yi..."

Yi raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked to Zhao Kuo with a smile, "What's wrong?" Zhao Kuo pursed his lips, then got up, looked at Yi's eyes, and said seriously: "Mr. Xu has passed away...I... what Li Mu and the others said..." Zhao Kuo was very scared, and his voice was trembling. Sure enough, Yi was stunned. She looked at Zhao Kuo blankly. After watching for a long time, two lines of clear tears suddenly shed.

Zhao Kuo hugged her tightly in his arms. Over the years, Yi and her family had no chance to meet, and could only communicate through letters. The old man was very happy after learning that he had grandsons and granddaughters, but he never saw them with his own eyes... Yi was so sad that even Shan couldn't help crying. Zhao Kuo had to hold them and constantly comfort them.

Perhaps at the beginning, I should have been more determined and tied him to Zhao State, so it would not be so.

On this day, Zhao Kuo coaxed him for a long time, and Yi cried almost lost his voice.

Yi was in great pain, and Zhao Kuo was even more painful than her because he was powerless.

After a few days, an envoy suddenly arrived in the palace, and he brought inspiring news. Last night, the queen gave birth to a son for the King of Qin. This joy could wash away the sad atmosphere at home. Yi didn't care about his red eyes, so he was anxious to go to the palace to see his grandson. Zhao Kuo had no choice. He looked a little casual and was not as nervous as Yi. Zhao Kang drove his parents to the palace.

When Yi rushed into the harem, Ying Zheng was holding a little guy and smiling foolishly.

The little guy at the time also became a father and also had his own little guy.

When he saw his parents coming, he naturally raised the child in his hand with a smile and grinned. But Yi hurriedly snatched the child from him and scolded him, "You can't hold the child like this!" Ying Zheng had no choice but to do so, Zhao Kuo rushed over, stretched out his head, and looked at the little life just born in the world. The little guy was wrinkled all over and opened his mouth one by one. Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing and took the child from Yi.

"Come on, call me Dafu! Hurry up, call me Dafu!"

Zhao Kuo teased his grandson, and Yi was also excited and burst into tears again. The two couldn't help but kiss the child. Ying Zheng stood by the side for a long time, but they ignored it... After a while, Yi asked, "Where is Ming?"

"She is very good and is resting...I'll go see her, you take good care of the children..."

"I got it, mother."

"I didn't tell you." Yi hurried to see his daughter-in-law, while Zhao Kuo hugged the little guy and walked up in the palace. The little guy fell asleep quietly in the arms of his father. Ying Zheng walked behind him... "Father? Are you tired? Let me hug him for a while? Father?" Zhao Kuo ignored him at all, as if he didn't exist. He just looked at the little guy in his arms and grimaced from time to time.

"Has it named?"

"Take... Fusu."

"Fu..." Zhao Kuo was stunned, as if he had thought of something. He held the child in his arms and said to Ying Zheng seriously: "Fusu, I will teach you personally. If you dare to bully him in the future... I will still keep the wooden stick at home!"

"He is my son...how could I bully him?"

At this moment, Yi sat beside Ming, using a broken Chu Yu, asking Ming about his situation. Ming looked at the mother in front of her and said with a smile: "You just use Yayan. I have learned Yayan." Yi smiled and said: "I just want you to listen to it more kindly... Fortunately, you... You should take good care of yourself here. You don't have to worry about your child. If you have me and my eldest father, we will take good care of him."

After a long time, Yi and Zhao Kuo left the palace.

Ying Zheng walked into the back hall with a look of frustration and sat beside Ming.

"Have my father and mother left?"
