Chapter 113 What is a chicken baby? If you want chicken, chicken yourself!
On December 31, the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Qin, the sound of a clapper sounded.
Amid Ying Chengxuan’s internal slander, the time officially came to January 1st, the ninth year of Qin Wangzheng’s reign.
But Lao Ai obviously does not have the leisurely elegance to complain about the calendar like Ying Chengyu.
Yongcheng, the main hall of Dazheng Palace.
Lao Ai was wearing loose clothes and asked solemnly:
"What do you think Lord Chang'an wants when he comes to Yongcheng?"
Shi Cang, the magistrate of Yongcheng County, smiled and responded: "It's a lie to come to offer sacrifices, but the one who is waiting for me is real."
"It's just that Lord Chang'an is really arrogant."
"He dared to come with only a hundred soldiers and dozens of clan members. I don’t know who gave him the courage to act wildly in Yongcheng.”
"Do you really think that if you destroy South Korea, you will become a famous general in the world?"
The retainer Tang Yi and others also laughed in agreement:
"They are just children, why should I worry too much? ?”
“I have inquired about the war to destroy Korea. The so-called war to destroy the country is just a trick. If I were given 100,000 troops, I could still destroy Korea!”
"So what if he is really a famous general in the world? Where did he get the soldiers in his hands?"
However, the laughter in the room did not make Lao Ai feel relieved.
Lao Ai just said in a calm voice: "I have fought with Lord Chang'an several times."
"None of them won."
Tang Yi and others closed their eyes instantly Mouthed.
Lai Ai has already admitted that she failed to get any advantage from Ying Chengyun. If she is still laughing at Ying Chengyun, isn't she also laughing at Lai Ai?
Shi Cang frowned and asked: "Can Lao Huancheng explain in detail?"
Whether it is fabricating rumors or using Zhao Ji to threaten Ying Zheng to send troops as soon as possible, it is not a topic suitable for large-scale communication.
Lai Ai did not want to mention those things, but frowned and said: "Jun Chang'an, this person is very strange!"
"When this man fell, I didn't even know that he fell. What did that kid want to do?”
“Only when the killing plan was completed, I was shocked to realize that he was coming for me!”
If the original world line develops according to the original world line, Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Huayang still choose to stand still despite knowing Lao Ai's intentions. Lao Ai will lead the army to put down the Ying Chengyu's 'rebellion', and for this, he will be awarded the title of Changxinhou.
As a result, he obtained three fiefs, including Yongcheng, and the area of each of these three fiefs was more than ten times that of Chang'an Township!
At that time, Lao Ai was the most noble marquis in the Qin Dynasty besides the King of Qin, and the area of his fiefdom was larger than that of all the other monarchs and princes of the Qin Dynasty put together.
Even without the help of Zhao Ji’s power, Lao Ai could attract a large number of customers with her own reputation and fiefdom.
Can he stop drifting?
However, Ying Chengyu's changes made Lao Ai's Marquis Changxin and all the fiefdoms come to nothing.
Now Lao Ai is just a Nangong eunuch who has no title, no fiefdom, and has failed many times. He still needs to fully rely on Zhao Ji to have some say.
Lao Ai carefully regarded Ying Chengyu as his opponent, but Lao Ai sadly discovered that he didn't even know where he lost!
Lai Ai frowned: "But I often feel that this son seems to have never taken action against me."
"This son is just completing his own plan. At the same time, my plan was foiled!”
"It's... weird!"
"His brain seems to be different from normal people!"
Shi Cang and others looked at each other.
You don’t tell me how I lost.
You can’t tell what Ying Chengyu is capable of.
Then how do you want us to help the staff?
Shi Cang could only express comfort in a gentle voice: "Mencius said: The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people."
"Now the Lord of Chang'an has risked his life and entered Yongcheng. The location is convenient. It's in our hands."
"Everyone who holds important positions in Yongcheng is loyal to the Queen Mother. This is Harmony."
"That Chang'an Lord has extraordinary abilities. How can he and those hundreds of people do anything?”
"The favorable location and people are in the hands of the Queen Mother, why are you so worried!"
Lao Ai nodded slowly: "What County Magistrate Shi said is reasonable."
"But in order to deal with Lord Chang'an , I will take a safe approach."
"I hope you all will be vigilant and don't underestimate Chang'an Jun because he is young."
Shi Cang and others all handed over. : "Wei!"
Lao Ai looked at Sun Xi again: "Has Yongshou's bedroom been tidied up?"
Sun Xi responded in a deep voice: "All the eunuchs and maidens in this bedroom have been replaced by our people, what should be done The arrangements have been made."
Lao Ai asked: "Can your soldiers and horses fight with the Chang'an Lord's soldiers?"
Sun Xi smiled: "Fortunately, I am lucky. With the help of the Prime Minister, I was able to command the guards of the Yong Palace, with a total of three thousand soldiers!"
"What about the Lord of Chang'an?"
"The troops he leads are no more than a hundred people."
"If Lord Chang'an really commits a crime, I will lead my subordinates to kill him in Yong Palace!"
The reason why Lao Ai can One of the important reasons why many ministers surrendered to him was that Lao Ai was forthright and loyal.
After confirming that Sun Xi could no longer gain the trust of his Korean relatives, Lao Ai did not give up on him. Instead, he used the identity of Zhao Ji to make Sun Xi serve as the chief minister of Yong Palace and take charge of the guards of the Yong Palace gates. .
This also raised Sun Xi's loyalty to Zhao Ji to a higher level again.
Lao Ai smiled casually: "Sun Zuoge said this, I feel at ease!"
"Masters!" Lao Ai raised the wine cup high and shouted loudly: "Drink to win!"
History Cang and others also raised the wine cup in unison:
"Drink to win!"
With something on his mind, he didn't feel happy drinking the wine.
Half an hour later, the banquet was over.
Lai Ai drank a bowl of sobering soup and returned to the main hall of the back hall with gentle steps.
“Ah~wow~~”
The baby’s cry made Lao Ai speed up her pace and sneak into the side hall.
“Your posture is wrong!”
The sudden sound startled the palace maid, and she quickly turned around and saw Lao Ai approaching in a hurry.
The palace maid held the baby in her arms and bent over in panic: "Greetings to Lao..." The palace maid's voice disturbed another baby, and for a while the two babies started crying together as if they were competing.
“Wow~wow~wow~”
Lai Ai glared at the palace maid with murderous intent: “Shut up!”
The palace maid no longer dared to speak or even move. She could only stand in a semi-bent position and tremble.
Lao Ai carefully took the baby from the palace maid's arms.
Let the baby's head rest on your strong left bicep, wrap your left arm around the baby's back, cover the baby's calf with your left hand, and then drag the other baby's back with one arm. He held him in his arms.
With the help of his hands, he adjusted his posture, and both babies were held in Lao Ai's arms.
Lao Ai sang in a low voice with the gentlest voice she could make in her life:
"Wei Tian's destiny is endless. It is not obvious, but King Wen's virtue is pure..."
Feeling the warm and safe arms, listening to the familiar "Zhou Song·Wei Tianzhi" "Fate", the baby in the arms no longer cried, but giggled and stretched out his hands to scratch Lao Ai's face, and even poked his fingers hard into Lao Ai's nostrils.
Lao Ai was not annoyed either, and continued to sing while rubbing her face against the two children.
"Song of Zhou·Wei Tian's Destiny" was sung three times, and the two babies' physical strength was exhausted, and they finally returned to sleep.
Looking at the sleeping child, Lao Ai couldn't help but smile:
"Jiang'er, Shan'er, Naiweng is not the best in the world."
"But Naiweng will do everything he can to make you the happiest children in the world."
>"You deserve the best! Everything!"
Lao Ai is not a chicken baby, Lao Ai just wants his children to enjoy all the beauty in this world.
For this reason, Lao Ai can kill herself!
Zhao Ji's voice came from the main hall: "Lao Lang? Are you back?"
Lao Ai didn't answer, but carefully rubbed his forehead on the chubby faces of the two babies, causing them to fall asleep. The children in the middle were dissatisfied and kicked.
Lai Ai then reluctantly put down the child, turned around and walked into the main hall, saying with a warm smile: "I wanted to walk more slowly when I came back, so as not to disturb your rest."
"I never thought it would disturb your sweet dream."
Zhao Ji opened her arms with sleepy eyes, with a child-like smile on her face: "How can you have a good dream without Ai Lang by your side?"
>
Hugging Lao Ai, Zhao Ji took a greedy breath, and then frowned slightly: "Lao Ai just drank?"
Lao Ai nodded lightly: "Mr. Chang'an will be here tomorrow."
"I need to discuss plans and encourage people with my subordinates first, and I always have to drink some wine."
Zhao Ji opened her eyes with a look of dissatisfaction: "Is it Chenglong again? ”
“Why does this person always make Ai Lang dissatisfied?”
"Because of this person, Ai Lang can't even sleep well!"
"Ai Lang, isn't my Queen Mother's Seal in your hand?"
"You give the order now Zheng'er, let Zheng'er kill him!"
As we all know, drinking, stress, irregular work and rest, etc. can seriously lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness.
It is difficult for Lao Ai to satisfy Zhao Ji during this period of time.
Zhao Ji was reluctant to lose her temper with Lao Ai, and she was full of anger and just wanted to pour it all on Ying Chengyu.
Lao Ai patted the back of Zhao Ji's hand and smiled warmly: "Don't worry."
"It's just a trivial matter, there is no need for that big seal."
"Mr. Chang'an will arrive tomorrow, so you have to be nice to him."
Zhao Ji looked unhappy: "I still want to be nice to him?"
"Why?"
"I am the Queen Mother!"
Lao Ai was helpless.
Zhao Ji is so angry that it’s really hard to appease her!
……
Noon the next day.
Lao Ai stood outside the east gate of Yongcheng, yawning tiredly.
Shi Cang rode his horse close to Lao Ai and asked with concern: "Lai Huancheng didn't have a good rest last night?"
Lao Ai forced out a smile: "Last night there was a sudden wind and snow, and for a while, It’s hard to sleep.”
Shi Cang was slightly startled.
Was it windy last night?
How come I don’t know!
While dazed, Shi Cang heard Lao Ai shout in a low voice: "Here we come!"
Shi Cang looked up and saw a motorcade coming.
At the front of the convoy, there was a young general in full armor, who looked like he was about to go to the battlefield.
Looking at the young general from a distance, Lao Ai's eyes were gloomy: "Ying Cheng Jing!"
Looking deeply at Ying Cheng Jing, Lao Ai shouted loudly: "Nangong belongs to you, welcome your triumphal journey. !”
Shi Cang also shouted loudly: “Everyone in Yongcheng welcomes the triumphant journey!”
Following the calls of Lao Ai and Shi Cang, the subordinates behind them They all shouted:
"We welcome you on your triumphal journey!"
Ying Chengyu rode his horse and stood ten feet in front of Lao Ai and Shi Cang. He raised his hands towards Yongcheng and shouted:
"Master Chengyu has seen you all!"
"This time I will The army was victorious, so I went back to the ancestral temple to offer food to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. We, the Qin Dynasty, are victorious!"
The soldiers who presented the victory and the officials who greeted them all shouted:
" Da Qin! Wansheng!”
The shouts drifted into Yongcheng along the cold wind, and the people of Lao Qin walked out of their houses curiously.
“Is this a cry for victory from the mountains? Has our Great Qin won another battle?”
“Isn’t it common for our Great Qin to win battles, but there are not many that can return to Yongcheng to report victory? I guess the soldiers who destroyed Han are here."
"Great! Great Qin victory!"
The sound of the mountain shouts spread from outside the city to the city, and from inside the city. In addition, it declares to all careerists the cohesion and centripetal force of this centuries-old capital of Qin!
Riding on the sound of the mountain calling, Ying Chengyu rode his horse forward and looked at Lao Ai with a smile:
"Lao Huancheng, long time no see."
