Xianyang Palace, imperial dining room.
Plate after plate of exquisite dishes were served on the royal table one after another.
There is also a bottle of wine sent as tribute from Tubo.
Two luminous cups were placed in front of Ying Zheng and Qin Xiu.
"Sister Dong, you are not an outsider. We are all members of the family here. We have been busy for such a long time. Let's sit down and have a meal together."
At the dinner table, Ying Zheng said to the woman in disguise.
Qin Xiu knew this woman in palace clothes.
Her name is Zhao Donger,
She is about the same age as her father this year, but she usually takes good care of herself. She looks to be in her early thirties, with a beautiful face and a natural beauty.
Zhao Donger is not from Qin.
She is a true Zhao nationality.
When Ying Zheng was a hostage in the State of Zhao, he was chased by the Zhao State's army. He was rescued by Zhao Dong'er, who was still a little girl, and hid him in a stack of straw. Only then did he save his life.
In the later years of escape.
Zhao Donger saved Ying Zheng's life many times, and also saved the life of his mother Zhao Ji.
Later Ying Zheng returned to Qin.
Zhao Donger also came to Daqin.
The title Sister Dong is still used today.
The two are not siblings, but they are better than siblings.
There is no love between men and women, they respect each other, and there is no deviant behavior.
"Aunt Dong, sit down and eat together."
Qin Xiu smiled at Zhao Donger.
Qin Xiu's biological mother died in childbirth. When he was very young, Aunt Dong took care of him, acting as both a housekeeper and a mother-in-law. Qin Xiu treated her like his mother at that time, and she is very affectionate to her even now.
"Okay, then I'll go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks first."
Aunt Dong smiled and nodded, took the bowls and chopsticks, and sat down at the dining table.
Ying Zheng was very happy because Qin Xiu had returned. He drank continuously during the meal, and the wine in the imperial dining room was fragrant.
Qin Xiu and Aunt Dong also drank three large pots with him.
"Xiu'er, you've been traveling around the world for so long, have you ever heard of the Gunslinger in White?"
After drinking for three rounds, Ying Zheng asked.
Qin Xiu felt guilty for a while, touched his nose and muttered:
"In the past six months, the gun god in white has challenged the masters in the world everywhere. Even Feng Qingyang in the Tianxiang realm was defeated by his gun. The boy is naturally thunderous."
Mention the masters in the arena.
Aunt Dong, a womanly person, suddenly lost interest and couldn't get a word in.
"The gun god in white is indeed very strong!"
Ying Zheng showed a longing look and said:
"Xiu'er, this man's divine dragon has never seen its end. My father has repeatedly sent experts to invite him to join the Qin Dynasty. Unfortunately, it's just a little bit worse every time. I'm really sorry. I'm very sorry."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp and looked disappointed.
"this……"
Qin Xiu had a complicated look on his face when he heard his father mention the matter of the gunman in white in front of him, and he was so regretful.
Thinking that he is the gun god in white, he suddenly feels good about doing bad things.
Qin Xiu coughed dryly and said:
"Father, the spear god in white didn't come to Da Qin, maybe because of his own considerations. After all, everyone in the world has his own secrets, and he is no exception."
Ying Zhengxin said that Xiu'er was right. Each of the peerless masters in the world had their own secrets, and the gunman in white was no exception.
But thinking of Li Si’s words, he said:
"Actually, I am not afraid that he will not come, but that I am afraid that something unexpected will happen to him."
"An accident happened?"
Qin Xiu was slightly stunned.
I was doing fine, but I didn't encounter any unexpected events.
Who must have said something to his father that made him worry for nothing, and he had to explain himself.
"Father, the swordsman in white has such high martial arts skills, who in the world can threaten him? In my opinion, since he can send the longevity pill and teach the Mo family a lesson for rebellion, it means that his heart is towards the Qin Dynasty. Sooner or later he will go to the palace to see his father."
Yingzheng Longyan was delighted.
He likes to listen to Qin Xiu's words and has a good temper.
The father and son toasted again.
Aunt Dong couldn't get a word in, she just kept adding food and wine, sitting next to Ying Zheng and Qin Xiu, listening to their conversation silently with a kind smile on her face, even though she didn't understand Jianghu affairs at all.
"Xiu'er, my father asked you a question, and you have to answer it honestly."
Suddenly, Ying Zheng put down his wine glass and asked seriously.
Sensing that the atmosphere had become serious, Qin Xiu also put down his wine glass and said:
"Father, please ask."
Aunt Dong looked at the father and son. She didn't know why they suddenly became serious after being so good just now. She was a little nervous.
Just listen to Ying Zheng ask:
"You just said that people in the world have their own secrets. Now my father asks you, do you have any secrets that you hide from your father?"
"this……"
Qin Xiu's heart skipped a beat.
After all, my father is the emperor of the ages, and nothing can be hidden from him.
He doesn't just have secrets.
Don’t keep too many secrets about yourself.
The identity of the time traveler is bound to the Gun God system, and he is the Gun God in white, and so on!
"have!"
Qin Xiu nodded heavily.
It was impossible to deceive his father, and besides, his father would not hurt him, so there was no need to lie, just admit it straight away.
"really!"
Ying Zhengxin said that Xiu'er really has a secret that he is hiding from everyone.
Qin Xiu thought for a while and said:
"Father, do you want to know?"
"In no mood!"
Ying Zheng said categorically.
Qin Xiu was stunned and asked:
"In no mood?"
"Yes, I don't want to."
Ying Zheng patted Qin Xiu on the shoulder and said meaningfully:
"Xiu'er, everyone has their own secret. You have to keep your secret. Remember, a person who can't even keep a secret will not have a big future!"
"Father, I'd like to give you a drink!"
Qin Xiu nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
The father and son drank again.
A blink of an eye,
I drank three more jugs of wine,
I simply asked someone to bring in a big wooden barrel, replace the luminous cup with a bronze statue, and pour it all in one go. This way, the drink tastes too subtle, and it is the heroic nature of a man.
"Xiu'er, among the princes under my lord, you are the only one who has traveled to all the nine states. What do you think about the current situation of the world and the future direction of Great Qin?"
Ying Zheng talked about national affairs.
Qin Xiu thought for a while and said loudly:
"Father, although you have unified the six countries of the Central Plains, please forgive me for your first words."
"There are many countries in the world of Jiuzhou, including powerful empires such as Tang, Ming, Song, and Yuan, as well as small border countries such as Beili, Liyang, Xixia, and Dali."
"And there are border issues and territorial disputes between various countries. Every day there are military conflicts and bloodshed and sacrifices. The world is not peaceful."
"Xiu'er, keep talking!"
Ying Zheng listened attentively.
As a ninth son, he is worthy of traveling around the world, but the pattern is different. When he opens his mouth, he looks at the entire Jiuzhou, instead of a small area, the gains and losses of one city and one apartment.
"And if we want to end this endless fighting, we can only strengthen the country with elite soldiers, let the warriors of Great Qin sweep across the Nine Provinces, and unify them again! Unify the entire Nine Provinces!"
Qin Xiu's words were sonorous and powerful.
"Unify the entire Kyushu!"
Ying Zheng felt his chest swell when he heard this.
Qin Xiu continued his analysis:
"But before sweeping across all countries, we must be internally stable enough to prevent a fire in the back garden. Therefore, any force that threatens the empire must be ruthlessly eradicated and suppressed!"
Iron means, decisive and ruthless.
When Ying Zheng heard Qin Xiu's words, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
