I Bring a System to Flirt with the First Emperor and Build Infrastructure

Zhao Jun harbored an unknown secret: she was an online friend with His Highness the First Emperor from thousands of years ago. Every time she sent him cheap items like water cups and glass, she cou...

Chapter 16: Mohist Master

Zhao Jun lowered his eyelashes and rolled his eyes.

What should I do? How should I answer?

She thought for two seconds and decided to tell the truth. After all, honesty is my greatest virtue.

Ugh!

Ying Zheng must know that I know it, so what difference does it make whether I tell the truth or not?

Pit, this is a pit.

"knew."

She answered dryly.

"Oh, what do you think?"

Ying Zheng stared at her with great interest, his eyes as dark as stars.

"Although he is still a child, I feel sorry for the accident, but I have to say it also makes me feel at ease. After all, the accident has already happened, so let's focus on the present."

This was also Zhao Jun's true thought, but she kept it a secret and thought it was just an accident.

Ying Zheng stared at her without changing his expression, and then he looked away after a while.

"You're right. By the way, what are the specific characteristics of the Zhao Gao you mentioned last time? I haven't found this person in the Qin officialdom. Could he be from another country?"

Since that day, he sent people to Qin State to look for a man named Zhao Gao, but they returned empty-handed. He could not rest until he got rid of this man.

Zhao Jun closed his eyes and thought carefully, but had no clue.

"Well, I only know there's this person. I don't know what country he's from or where he is now."

Zhao Jun looked at him and answered that she didn't remember Zhao Gao's life very clearly.

"but"

Zhao Jun saw a hint of dissatisfaction on Ying Zheng's calm face and quickly added, "If he is Zhao Gao, he will soon appear before the king. The king only needs to be on guard against this person in advance and not worry all day long."

"Nonsense, who said I was worried all day? I just wanted to verify whether what you said was true." Ying Zheng answered loudly with an angry look on his face.

The boss is such a tsundere!

She was obviously worried, but Zhao Jun swallowed his words and honestly admitted that he was not worried at all. She was just worrying too much.

"Cough cough, now it's time to tell me why you came to see me today."

Ying Zheng covered his sleeves with his hands, coughed twice, and changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, it's nothing serious. I'm simply here to report that the planting in the western suburbs is going smoothly. The harvest will be ready in about a month. I'll then invite Your Majesty to visit. Also, you said last time that you would take me to meet the great Mohist master. I wonder when you'll be free."

Zhao Jun said with a smile, but he was very anxious in his heart. In the future, many things will require the help of the Mo family. Why don’t you take me there quickly? If it doesn’t work, you can find someone else to take me there.

"I was busy some time ago and forgot about it. I can take you there today if I have time."

After saying that, he got up from his seat and walked straight out the door, with Zhao Jun following behind him.

Ying Zheng first went back to his bedroom to change his clothes before taking Zhao Jun to the Mo family.

However, Zhao Jun's eyes lit up when he saw Ying Zheng change his clothes.

Whenever Zhao Jun met Ying Zheng, he always wore dark black clothes, which made him look calm, solemn and distant. But today he actually changed into a dark green robe, which complemented the hot summer weather quite well.

Zhao Jun kept staring at Ying Zheng. Sun Cheng next to her gently poked her with his hand, but she didn't come back to her senses. Instead, Ying Zheng glared at him.

Sun Cheng bent down and quietly stepped aside. He decided not to interfere in the affairs between the king and Ms. Zhao.

"What are you looking at? Aren't we going to the Mo family? Why don't you go quickly?"

Ying Zheng couldn't understand why the person who was so anxious just now was now standing there motionless.

Ying Zheng's words quickly brought her back to her senses, and she replied quite sincerely.

"Your Majesty's clothes are so beautiful, so different from the ones you've worn before. Coupled with your stunning appearance, I was stunned for a moment."

She exaggerated the one point of astonishment to ten points, and Zhao Jun started to brag wildly, thinking that his praise should please the man deeply.

But the reality was that Ying Zheng frowned and spoke with disgust.

"Don't say that I am good-looking in the future. If you say it again, I will punish you." After saying this, he walked away with broad steps.

Hey, no way, how could anyone dislike being good-looking?

It wasn't until Sun Cheng next to him looked at her that he knew it was over as soon as Zhao Jun opened his mouth.

"Madam, you may not know that the king does not like people praising his appearance. The king had a hard time in Zhao State with the Queen Mother before, and he has been particularly unhappy with it since then. Madam, please pay more attention next time."

Zhao Jun nodded thoughtfully, without thinking too much, and trotted after Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng didn't say anything when he heard her catching up.

Zhao Jun followed behind and thought silently, it must be the shadow left over from his childhood. Although history said that Ying Zheng suffered a lot when he was in Zhao State, no one could find out what exactly happened. Zhao Jun shook his head and put those emotions behind him.

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the door of Mo's workshop.

Zhao Jun thought about the route he took and found that it was on the west side of the entire palace. After walking past the westernmost palace wall, he opened a small path there, leading to the huge workshop in front of him.

There was no one at the door of the workshop. It was only when they entered that they saw many busy people.

An elderly man came out first.

"Hello, Your Majesty. Mojia greets Your Majesty." The old man knelt down with a group of people.

Ying Zheng nodded and waved to them to get up.

"Nothing, just get Juzi here and let the others get busy."

As soon as he came in, Zhao Jun started to look around. The yard was filled with wood, iron and various unfamiliar things. Everyone was looking at the things in their hands seriously, and everyone was very focused.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." After a while, a man rushed out from a room inside. He was tall, but his face was dark, and even his hands were stained with some black dust. He had a bright smile, and his medium-long hair was combed into a ponytail and placed on his shoulders.

This is the great master of Mohism.

"Yeah," Ying Zheng replied calmly without changing his expression.

He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Jun, then said, "This is the great Mohist master. Go find him."

Zhao Jun had wanted to talk to Ju Zi for a long time, and he was very excited to finally see him. When he heard what Ying Zheng said, he quickly stepped forward and said to Ju Zi with a smile.

"Juzi, right? I've heard of you a long time ago. Well, I'm thinking of making a plow. The current tools are too inefficient. I already have a specific idea, but I'd like you to help me make some and see how it works."

"Making something? Okay, you already have a specific idea, right? Then tell me what it looks like, what it's made of, and what materials I need to prepare. Just tell me in detail."

As soon as the topic of making tools was mentioned, Juzi became very interested. For a moment, he didn't even care that Ying Zheng was still there, and started chatting with Zhao Jun enthusiastically.
