Chapter 161 Returning Home, Seeing Mother Again! Xia Wuqie's Joy!

Hear what Zhao Gao said.

Ying Zheng didn't even turn his head.

"Let Hu Hai take charge of the government."

Ying Zheng spoke slowly.

As soon as these words fell.

Zhao Gao was startled and a look of shock appeared on his face. Then he raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng uncertainly, as if he had heard it wrong.

"Your Majesty?"

"Do we want to let the Eighteenth Prince take charge of government affairs?" Zhao Gao asked with some disbelief.

"Go and deliver the imperial edict." Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao and said.

Then he picked up the memorial and said no more.

"I obey your orders."

Zhao Gao suppressed the ecstasy in his heart.

He immediately left the hall slowly.

"Fusu."

"I hope you can become more successful after having competition."

"Otherwise, you really can't help it."

Looking at Zhao Gao's leaving back, Ying Zheng's eyes revealed a hint of deep thought.

harem.

The palace of Madam Hu is located.

"The Imperial Chariot Commander has arrived."

A monk outside the hall shouted.

Mrs. Hu in the hall stood up immediately.

"Your servant greets Madam."

After Zhao Gao entered the hall, he immediately bowed to Hu.

"What's the urgent matter, Lord Zhao?"

"You haven't been notified of your arrival this time?" Mrs. Hu asked with a smile.

"Good news, great news." Zhao Gao was so excited that a smile appeared on his feminine face.

Hu looked at Zhao Gao with wide eyes and did not interrupt.

The power of her mother's family was not as strong as that of the Mi family, so her biggest support in competing for that position was Zhao Gao.

With Zhao Gao serving the king, she can take the initiative in many matters.

"The king has just issued an edict."

"Let Prince Hu Hai take charge of government affairs in the future." Zhao Gao said with a serious face, his tone showing no concealment of joy.

"What?"

Upon hearing the news, Hu was completely stunned and seemed unable to believe it.

"Is it true?" Hu asked with some uncertainty.

"Ma'am, it's true."

"At first I thought I had misheard, and I even dared to ask the king again."

"This has also been recognized by the king." Zhao Gao said with a smile.

"Very good."

"To attend court and attend government affairs, this is an opportunity only for the princes favored by the king. This is also the only way to ascend to the throne of crown prince in the future." Mrs. Hu also had an excited smile on her face.

She seemed to have seen the day when her son would ascend to the throne of crown prince.

"That's right."

"I guess the king is disappointed with Fusu."

"That's why we let the Eighteenth Prince take charge of government affairs." Zhao Gao also agreed with a smile.

The two looked at each other, both smiling.

One is Hu Hai's mother, and the other is Zhao Gao, who wants to rely on Hu Hai to gain power. Zhao Gao is an upright man.

"Why did the king suddenly have this idea?"

"Did Fusu do something wrong?"

Come back to your senses.

Hu asked with some curiosity.

"Fusu didn't do anything wrong, but I can't say for sure about Wang Wan and the others."

"Madam, do you know why the king suddenly changed like this?"

"Let the Eighteenth Prince take charge of the court?" Zhao Gao sneered.

"Why?" Hu asked immediately.

Zhao Gao sneered, "Although I don't know what really caused the king's change, I can be sure that this matter is definitely related to Zhao Feng."

"Zhao Feng?"

Mrs. Hu was stunned, a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that Zhao Feng is a fox like his father-in-law Wang Jian? Will he not participate in this fight for the prince?"

"Why would he help Hai'er to rule the country?"

Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "Madam, it was not Zhao Feng who helped you, but Zhao Feng who targeted Fusu and Wang Wan. That's why the king wanted to train the Eighteenth Prince."

"On the day Zhao Feng returned to the court, Bai Wu of the Bai family impeached him. Not only that, I also found out that when Zhao Feng was not yet a general and had just started dating the girl from the Wang family, Fusu's teacher Chun Yuyue sent someone to threaten Zhao Feng to break off the engagement with the Wang family."

“This incident naturally made Zhao Feng angry.”

"These incidents naturally made Zhao Feng dissatisfied with Fusu, and even more dissatisfied with Wang Wan and others."

"When Zhao Feng returned that day, he drank and talked with the king all night. Although I did not hear what they said, I am sure that Zhao Feng definitely said something about Wang Wan and the others."

"Although the king did not say it explicitly, I can sense the change in the king's attitude towards Fusu and Wang Wan."

"That is why the king allowed the Eighteenth Prince to attend court and govern the country," Zhao Gao said with a smile.

"Does Zhao Feng have such a great influence in front of the king? Can he even influence the king?" Mrs. Hu was a little surprised.

Obviously.

As the concubine of the King of Qin, she came from a large family and was naturally arrogant.

"I also cannot understand why the king is so kind to Zhao Feng."

"Maybe it's Zhao Feng's ability."

"He was so young, but he played a great role in destroying two countries."

"This is probably because the king loves his talent," Zhao Gao explained.

Hu nodded, and then sneered: "Fusu, Fusu, maybe he has a very high position, and as the eldest son, there are many ministers in the court who support him."

"But it was precisely because these ministers were of mixed quality that he offended Zhao Feng invisibly."

“This person.”

"Even if we can't win him over, we can't offend him. He is now hostile to Fusu, and he may help Hai'er in the future."

"Wait until Hai'er succeeds to the throne in the future."

"I also need good ministers to assist me. Zhao Feng is a good example."

After hearing the good news about the emperor's administration.

Mrs. Hu couldn't help but start fantasizing, as if she was thinking about the day when her son would ascend the throne.

…

Qin State, Shaqiu County!

After ten days of traveling, we finally entered the territory of Shaqiu County.

"My Lord."

“We’ve reached the dunes.”

Looking at the county boundary monument in front of him, Zhang Ming immediately reported.

Zhao Feng lifted the curtain and walked down slowly.

Looking at the sand dune monument in front of him, a smile appeared on his face: "Sand dune, finally back."

but.

now.

Zhao Feng thought of an event in history again.

“Historically.”

"Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng traveled around the country and died of illness at Shaqiu. In the end, even his will was changed by Li Si and Zhao Gao."

“I don’t know.”

“Will there be a butterfly effect in this world?”

"In the original historical world, I did not exist, or rather, my soul did not exist."

"If Zhao Feng really existed, he might have died on the battlefield."

"Sand Dune died of illness."

"pity."

Seeing the sand dunes, Zhao Feng couldn't help but think deeply.

"My Lord."

"It's noon now. I wonder how far away the Sand Village where the master is is?"

"Can we arrive in the evening?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Half a day is enough." Zhao Feng smiled.

When Zhao Feng enlisted in the army, he passed through this sand dune guard and then entered the military camp.

Not far away is the city of Sandhill County.

At this time!

Xia Wuqi also came out from the carriage at the back.

"Into Sandhill County."

"This is also General Zhao's hometown county town." Xia Wuqie said with a smile.

"yes."

"After four years, I finally return home." Zhao Feng smiled.

"I am quite interested in General Zhao's hometown. What kind of place could cultivate such a great man as General Zhao for the Qin Dynasty?" Xia Wuqie said with a smile, and naturally his words were half true and half false in his heart.

The more he interacted with Zhao Feng, the more certain he became of his guess.

Zhao Feng might be his grandson, and Zhao Feng’s mother was the daughter he had been looking for for twenty-one years.

For the dunes.

Even though it was his first time here, Xia Wuqie felt an unspoken sense of intimacy.

"It's only half a day's journey."

"Then Doctor Xia can have a good rest."

"Let's go." Zhao Feng smiled and returned to the carriage.

Under the protection of the personal guards, the convoy set off again.

When they were almost reaching the county town.

Hundreds of county soldiers and a dozen officials dressed in Qin government uniforms were already waiting in the distance.

It seemed as if he had known that Zhao Feng would pass by here.

"May I ask if this is General Zhao Feng's carriage returning home?"

Yan Bing walked up slowly and asked very respectfully.

"Who are you?" Zhang Ming glanced at Yan Bing in front of him and said calmly.

"I am the governor of Shaqiu County. I heard that the general is returning home, so I came here to greet him." Yan Bing said with a smile.

"Wait a moment, I'll go and report."

Upon hearing that it was the Shaqiu County Magistrate, Zhang Ming did not refuse directly, but rode his horse around to report.

"My Lord."

"The governor of Shaqiu County is waiting in front. Would your lord like to see him?" Zhang Ming asked respectfully.

"After all, he is the mayor of Shaqiu County. I heard that he has taken good care of my family." Zhao Feng said.

Then the guards opened the curtain, and Zhao Feng slowly walked down and headed towards the strict soldiers in front.

When he saw Zhao Feng, he was not wearing fancy clothes, but still wearing the black Qin military uniform just like in the army.

Although they were wearing the same military uniform as ordinary Qin warriors, the overwhelming pressure and murderous aura shrouding them were easily felt.

"As the rumors say, General Zhao Feng is so young."

"Twenty-year-old general."

"I may even become a national lieutenant in the future. If I seize this opportunity, maybe I can become a Beijing official."

Watching Zhao Feng approaching step by step, Yan Bing was also thinking excitedly in his heart.

He understands.

This is his chance, a chance to go further.

"Your humble servant Yan Bing greets the general."

Yan Bing bowed immediately.

"Your subordinate joins the general."

Many officials and soldiers of Shaqiu County bowed to Zhao Feng.

"No need to be polite, sirs." Zhao Feng smiled slightly and raised his hand.

Looking at these officials from Sandhill County.

Four years ago.

These can be said to be the most powerful people in Shaqiu County, and are also out of reach for Zhao Feng.

And now.

Zhao Feng had already risen to the rank of general, the highest position among ministers.

The biggest county magistrate is not even as good as the commander-in-chief.

Looking across the world, only the Qin Dynasty can do this.

Except for the Qin Dynasty, it was impossible for other countries to do so because they were ruled by aristocrats and had no military merit system for reform.

A soldier is just a soldier. It is difficult for him to become a general, and even more difficult for him to be promoted.

"The general is returning home."

"The sand dunes are full of life."

"I haven't been back for many years. I have come here specially to show the way to the general." Yan Bing said very respectfully.

To this.

Zhao Feng smiled and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble County Magistrate Yan."

"You're welcome, General."

"This is my duty." Yan Bing immediately replied excitedly.

Yan Bing was naturally excited to be given this task, as it meant that Zhao Feng was willing to accept his kindness.

Moreover, it seems that his care for the Zhao family over the years has also reached Zhao Feng's ears, otherwise Zhao Feng would never have such an attitude.

"Then let's set off."

"I will try to return home in the evening." Zhao Feng said.

"Please come in, General." Yan Bing said respectfully.

Then he said to the many officials who came to greet him: "I am going to Sha Village, you can go back first."

"The county soldiers will ride on horses and accompany the county governor."

Hearing this.

All the soldiers said, "Yes."

…

Sand Village!

Night has fallen.

However, candles were lit in every household in the village. Compared with the past, Sha Village now seemed much more prosperous.

There are even quite a few newly built houses.

Many people heard that a general came from Sha Village and thought that Sha Village was a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

A lot of people were moved to live in Sha Village. When Zhao Feng left, the population of Sha Village was only a few hundred people, but now the population has exceeded nearly two thousand, and it has become a small market town.

The reason for all this is because Zhao Feng became the general.

This made Sha Village famous.

certainly.

Today, more than 2,000 people are not the limit, and there will be more in the future.

After all, in this era there were no laws restricting leaving, unlike in later generations where there were passes.

"Zhang Ming, my house is not big enough to accommodate all of you brothers. You can camp outside with your brothers."

Zhao Feng lifted the curtain and said to Zhang Mingdao.

Hearing this.

Yan Bing immediately laughed and said, "General, you don't know that the king specifically ordered the craftsmen of the palace to build a mansion for the general. Now the general's mansion is very large, not to mention accommodating hundreds of guards, even more can be accommodated."

"The king's favor to the general was demonstrated back then."

Zhao Feng was stunned and a little surprised: "Is it so big?"

“Absolutely.”

"I have been here many times and am very familiar with the situation in the Zhao Mansion." Yan Bing agreed with a smile.

"Then there's no need to camp, just follow me home." Zhao Feng said.

"Yes." Zhang Ming accepted the order respectfully.

Then.

The personal guards escorted the carriage into the village.

"What's that noise outside?"

"It seems there is an army?"

"Did something happen in the village?"

"Go out and take a look..."

The sound of horse hooves and the clicking of armor immediately attracted many villagers to come out and watch the fun.

Under the night.

I also saw a long team heading towards the Zhao Mansion.

"This is for the Zhao residence."

"Could it be that General Zhao Feng has returned?"

"It's possible."

"The State of Zhao has been gone for so long, it is time for General Zhao Feng to return."

"The general has returned, should we go and see him?"

"Of course we have to. Our family has also leased five acres of land from the general. We leased all of it at a low price. It is these five acres of land that have made our family so prosperous. We must go over and thank him for this."

"That's right."

"We'll go together as a family."

"Walk……"

Seeing so many Qin troops heading towards Zhao's mansion, the villagers naturally thought that Zhao Feng had returned.

Regardless of whether they had old friendship or not, at this moment, all of them rushed to the Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Mansion!

"lady."

"Miss."

"The General has returned."

"And the young lady and the others are back too."

The butler quickly ran into the mansion and shouted.

Hear the sound!

Zhao and Zhao Ying, who were originally in the small house, put down the herbs in their hands, and ran quickly towards the gate of the mansion with excitement on their faces.

The gate of the mansion!

All the servants of the Zhao Mansion gathered together.

"Welcome back to the General's residence."

All the servants knelt down. They were all slaves, not even ordinary people, so naturally they performed the great ceremony.

"kindness."

Zhao Feng nodded and waved his hand: "Prepare the food for 500 people, and let's go."

"I obey your orders."

The servants dispersed to prepare the meal.

Obviously.

With so many people eating, they are bound to be busy for a long time tonight.

At this time!

Zhao's mother and daughter ran out quickly.

When they saw Zhao Feng, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, the expressions of both Zhao's mother and daughter trembled.

"Feng'er."

Zhao shouted with a trembling voice.

"elder brother."

Hear this.

Zhao Feng turned his head suddenly and immediately saw the two people he was most concerned about during the four years on the battlefield.

"mother."

"Little sister."

"I'm back."

Looking at the two of them, Zhao Feng strode up to them and hugged them in his arms. This was the strong blood relationship.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

"Four years."

"You're finally back."

"People have become more mature, taller, and stronger."

"Very good."

Zhao looked Zhao Feng up and down. Seeing her son return safe and sound, for Zhao, nothing could be better than this.

"mother."

"younger sister."

Wang Yan also walked forward slowly and called out gently.

"Yan'er."

"You're back."

Zhao also said with a happy look on her face.

"grandmother."

"aunt."

The two little guys also came over and shouted with great joy.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back."

"Dabao and Erbao." Zhao looked at her two grandsons with great loving care.

Perhaps in this era there is some preference for boys over girls, and this is a common problem of the times, even in later generations.

But for the Zhao family, there was no such problem at all.

She likes her grandson and she likes her granddaughter too.

Even towards Zhao Ying, she never treated her badly and treated her equally.

"mother."

"My husband has named them."

"The older brother's name is Zhao Qi, and the younger sister's name is Zhao Ling." Wang Yan immediately pointed at the two little ones and said.

"Zhao Qi, Zhao Ling."

"Yeah, very catchy."

"What a nice name." Zhao praised immediately.

Then she squatted down, hugged the two little ones, and said kindly: "Grandma's grandchildren all have names, Qi'er, Ling'er."

"Call me grandma more often."

The two little guys were also very sensible and immediately called out obediently, "Grandma."

“Hey.”

Zhao responded sweetly.

"Call me auntie."

Zhao Ying also squatted down and teased her two nephews.

"aunt."

"Auntie..." the two little guys called sweetly.

Zhao Ying also responded repeatedly, and enjoyed it very much.

Zhao Feng was very happy looking at this warm scene. This was what he had always been pursuing.

The whole family is happily together.

I have now achieved my goal of starting a family and having children.

And he also possessed tremendous power.

Not only does he have power, he also possesses a dark force, so his future is promising.

"elder brother."

"I really can't think of it."

"You have become a general."

"Did you say you were a different person?"

Zhao Ying came forward and started pinching Zhao Feng's face.

Looking at the entire Qin Dynasty, only Zhao Ying dares to do this.

"Girl, do you think your brother can be replaced?" Zhao Feng slapped Zhao Ying's hand away angrily.

"mother."

"Brother is still the same as before."

"You only know how to bully me." Zhao Ying said to Zhao Shi aggrievedly.

"Who told you to ask for a beating?" Zhao said unhappily.

But at this moment! At the moment when the Zhao family was reunited, she had not yet felt a gaze falling on her, and even the owner of this gaze was trembling all over.

"It's...it's Dong'er."

"my daughter."

"She's still alive. It's really her."

"Dong'er is still alive."

“Still alive…”

At this moment, Xia Wuqie was trembling all over and his heart was beating wildly.

For him.

His greatest wish in life was fulfilled; he finally found his daughter.

"You are the housekeeper, right?"

Zhao Feng turned his gaze and looked at the butler who was serving on the side.

"General, it is me," the housekeeper replied immediately.

"Arrange accommodation for my personal guards and supervise the servants to prepare meals." Zhao Feng said.

"The General hasn't eaten yet, has he?"

"I'll ask someone to prepare it together." The housekeeper said immediately.

"Well, go ahead." Zhao Feng nodded.

Then.

The butler left quickly.

The servants here were also very tactful and left one after another.

Only Zhao Feng's family was left, and Zhang Ming also left with his personal guards and the housekeeper.

At this time!

Only then did Zhao notice that there was someone standing at the door and she couldn't help but look over.

This look.

Zhao's expression changed, and there was a kind of panic, shock, surprise, and guilt in her eyes.

All kinds of emotions emerged in her eyes.

But Zhao Feng didn't look at his mother at this moment, but was still looking at his sister who was playing with his children.

At this time.

Zhao Ying stood up and saw Xia Wuqie standing behind her.

"Brother, who is this?"

Zhao Ying asked curiously.

Hear this.

Zhao Feng suddenly came back to his senses.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Zhao Feng clapped his hands, turned around immediately, pointed at Xia Wuqie and introduced her, "Mother, sister."

"This is the greatest doctor in my Great Qin, Doctor Xia Wuqie."

"I met Doctor Xia in Zhao State in the past, and I was also familiar with his disciples. When he was in Xianyang, he took Yan'er's pulse and happened to see the jade bracelet that my mother gave to Yan'er. He said that he seemed to have seen this jade bracelet before and it was very similar to something that belonged to an old friend."

"So he came home with me to see if Mom was his descendant."

Zhao Feng said with a smile.

And at this moment.

Xia Wuqi and Zhao looked at each other.

There is a silence between them, but through their eyes, only they themselves can understand each other's meaning.

"Doctor Xia, what's wrong with you?"

"Do you really know my mother?"

Looking at Xia Wuqie standing there in a daze, Zhao Feng asked with a smile.

Hear the sound!

Xia Wuqi finally came back to his senses from the shock in his heart.

He smiled hurriedly: "Indeed...it does look like the descendant of an old friend."
