Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 278
Before Zheng Guo could speak, Xiang Yan said in a skeptical tone: "Your Majesty, I have something unclear, and I want to ask Mr. Zheng Guo for advice, and I also ask Wang Yun for permission."

Although Mi Lingchu is upset with Xiang Yan now, she also understands that he is still an irreplaceable person. After Shi Wei, he should also win over him, nodded and said: "General Xiang, ask."

Xiang Yan saluted and said: "Mr. Zheng Guo, it's not that Xiang Yan has unexpected intentions, but this matter is of great importance. I have to figure it out. Please forgive me, Mr. Zheng Guo."

Zheng Guodao: "General Xiang, don't worry, Zheng Guo knows everything and says everything."

"Thank you, Xiang Yan." Xiang Yan said slowly, "In order to assassinate Qingji, Yao Li asked King Helu of Wu to kill his wife and leave her dead on the street. It was successful. Mr. Zheng Guo was originally a Korean hydraulic engineer. He entered Qin for the sake of exhausting Qin. The matter of exhausting Qin was finally exposed. It was the king of Qin who was magnanimous and did not punish you. It stands to reason that King Qin is very kind to you. Why did you come to the state of Chu? Please ask Mr. Zheng Guo to explain what is shady here."

In the Warring States Period, assassins could disregard their wealth and lives in order to become famous. The representative figures are those assassins who have been passed down through the ages, such as Jing Ke, who assassinated the King of Qin for the sake of becoming famous.Yaoli is also one of them. In order to gain Qingji's trust, he did not use bitter tricks, but to destroy his family. He asked Wu Wanghelu to kill his wife. Xiang Yan knew the nature of assassins and spies, so he asked such a question .

It's okay if he doesn't ask, but if he asks, Zheng Guo suddenly roared and scolded: "Xiang Yan, you are inferior to a pig and dog, only a heartless pig and dog like you can say such a thing. What do you want to be away from? A maniac man who wants to be famous for himself, regardless of his wife's life. I Zheng Guo is not such a person. If I want to be famous, my Zheng Guo is already famous all over the world. Is it necessary to destroy the family? Xiang Yan , If you have the guts, you go and kill your family and all three clans to the king, and you go to separate Qin, will you do it? As long as a person with a conscience will not do it, only you who are useless Only a bastard with a conscience can say such a thing. Woohoo! My father! My wife! Poor child!" Weeping terribly, the more we cried, the angrier he became, suddenly he jumped up and went straight to Xiang Yan rushed forward, grabbed Xiang Yan's hair, and hit him on the head.

In terms of martial arts, even the ten Zheng countries are not Xiang Yan's opponent, but he has no confidence in his heart and dare not fight back.What Zheng Guo said is also right, there is no reason for anyone to pay hundreds of people from his three clans in order to become famous.If you really want to lose hundreds of people's lives, you may have to leave, but you may not be able to assassinate Qingji.

Zheng Guo slapped Xiang Yan's face loudly, and cursed: "I'll kill you, I'll kill you, you have no liver and no lungs."

Xiang Yan used to be the leader for too long, and there were not a few people in the court who were jealous of him, but they didn't dare to do anything to him because of his power. Now that Zheng Guo took his anger out on him, those who were jealous of him were very happy and stood up. Watching a play on the side just doesn't go forward to pull it.

"What's the matter? Quickly pull away, quickly pull away." Mi Lingchu shouted.The warriors in front of the hall rushed forward, and managed to separate the two of them, Zheng Guo tore off a piece of Xiang Yan's scalp, threw it to the ground, stomped hard on the ground with his feet, and gritted his teeth: "Stomp you, trample you to death! "

Mi Lingchu acted as a peacemaker, and said: "General Xiang Yan, your loyal widow understands, but you have to think about what you say. Mr. Zheng Guo's family suffered misfortune, and hundreds of people from the three clans were killed. If you talk about the painful things again, Mr. Zheng Guo will feel uncomfortable, and he hit you a few times in a hurry, so you don't have to take it to heart."

Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty." The blood from his head flowed down and dripped on the skirt of his clothes, and soon a large area was stained red.

Mi Lingchu took Zheng Guo's hand and comforted him: "Mr. Zheng Guo, please feel sorry for Mr. Zheng Guo. I feel sorry for your misfortune." Get up and say, "Your Majesty!"

Like coaxing a naughty child, Mi Lingchu patted Zheng Guo on the back and persuaded Zheng Guo to stop crying for a while.Mi Lingchu set up a seat for Zheng Guo next to the throne, pulled Zheng Guo to sit down, and said: "What do you think Mr. Zheng Guo thinks?"

Zheng Guo didn't answer directly: "It depends on whether the king wants to be born early or late."

"Of course a widow should mature as soon as possible, the sooner the better, time waits for no one." Mi Lingchu said bluntly, "If it is late, if the rebel enters Lingnan before us, he will have all the benefits. "

Zheng Guo thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is very determined. If the construction works day and night, the ministers estimate that it will be completed in five to six months."

"Mr. is very confident. Is it because of the magic medicine?" Mi Lingchu was very interested in gunpowder and asked, "I heard that the Qin State used magic medicine to build roads and canals, and it will get twice the result with half the effort. Do you know the formula?"

Of course Zheng Guo knew the gunpowder formula, but he knew that this matter should not be leaked to Chu State, otherwise Chu State would use it for military purposes. Although it could not change the current situation, it would still be fine to cause some trouble, so he said tactfully: "Return Your Majesty, the foreign ministers naturally know about it. Hey, this magic medicine is really good. It is easy to use, but it is troublesome to make and time-consuming to use. You have to dig a small hole first, fill in the magic medicine and compact it. It’s too troublesome to use paper media to detonate it. However, with the magic medicine, those stones and earthworks that require a lot of manpower can be loosened after such a blast, which is convenient.”

Zhou Chong dared to give the gunpowder formula to Chu State for use, because considering the level of science and technology at that time, it would take at least several years or even longer to use it in the military.According to Zhou Chong's prediction, King Qin's destruction of Chu is not far away. If Chu State studies how gunpowder is used in military affairs, it must not be mature enough. Chu State has already been destroyed by King Qin.

Mi Lingchu thought it would be best if gunpowder could be used in the military, but after hearing Zheng Guo's words, he had no choice but to give up his thoughts and said: "Mr. Zheng Guo is proficient in river engineering and is unparalleled in the world. Would you like to take on this important task for me?"

Zheng Guo declined and said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely forbidden, absolutely impossible. If the news of foreign ministers in Chu State leaks, King Qin will definitely not let it go. Isn't Zheng State implicating Chu State?"

Mi Lingchu nodded and said: "Mr. Zheng Guo is very considerate, this matter is not difficult. According to the widow, I will take the surname of the widow and call him Mi Yue."

This is a matter of great honor for bestowing a surname, Zheng Guo pretended to be overjoyed, and thanked him: "Thank you, my lord!"

"Now, Mr. Mi Yue can take on this important task, right?" Mi Lingchu was very relieved.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Guo still disagreed, and said: "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers are not citizens of Chu State, and they are not ministers of Chu State. If they take up this position, they will definitely cause controversy. Please, Your Majesty, choose another talented person."

"It's easy to handle. If you need anything, you can go directly to the widow instead of others. In this way, you won't be afraid of someone getting in the way." Mi Lingchu was eager to enter Lingnan and drove a through train to Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guoxin said: "Since this is the case, Mi Yue dare not follow orders!"
