General Qin

Chapter 121 Li You

Li You!

The son of the famous Li Si, he is tall and straight, handsome in appearance, and capable of writing and martial arts. After reaching adulthood, relying on Li Si's relationship, he entered the Langwei of the Qin Palace. After several years of accumulation of qualifications, he has now become a general of Zhonglang with a rank of a thousand stones.

Moreover, judging from the crown on his head that symbolizes a senior military officer, Li You's title is at least the fifth doctor.

Zhao Tuo knew that this was by no means the end of Li You.

It won't be long before Li Si, who is still only a long history, will transform himself into a Ting Wei, one of the nine ministers, and their Li family will also soar into the sky, becoming the hottest upstart in Qin.

"My subordinate, Zhao Tuo, has met General Li Hu."

Zhao Tuo hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted with a respectful expression.

Zhao Tuo?

Li You looked at the humble young man in front of him, and recalled his father Li Si's words in his mind.

That Zhao Tuo was smart and intelligent, he made great achievements on the battlefield, and was favored by the king, so he would definitely become a figure like Li Xin in the future. Moreover, he is not a native of Qin, he is from the Six Kingdoms just like you and me, and he can be used as an arm to lean on. Now that he is under your command, don't neglect him.

Thinking of this, Li You's expression calmed down, and he no longer pursued the noisy matter just now.

He nodded to Zhao Tuo and said: "The rules in the palace are strict, since you have entered the palace as a man, you must restrain yourself more."

"only."

After that, Li You patiently explained Zhonglang's daily work and precautions to Zhao Tuo.

For example, their daily work is to guard outside the temple and patrol the forbidden area. You must not sleep when you are on duty at night. Even when it is time to take a rest, you must not sleep too much. You must be ready to be called at any time. And when King Qin travels, they have to act as guards...

"Thank you General Li Hu for your guidance. The officials will definitely perform their duties seriously."

"Um."

Yang Xiong and Zhao Ben on the side looked at each other, both a little surprised.

General Li Hu didn't talk about viciousness, but he acted very strictly. They had been in the palace for several years, and they had never seen Li You talk to anyone like this. Sure enough, this Zhao Tuo has a bright future, and they need to build a good relationship with this junior.

Entering the palace to be a man is not only about earning performance in front of the king, but also seeking a good future. Another very important benefit is to expand interpersonal relationships.

Although Xunzi said when he entered the Qin Dynasty that the officials of the Qin State were "not comparable to Zhou and not cronies", but in actual work and life, the shadow of sophistication is everywhere, even the high-ranking King Qin cannot avoid this.

Those who can enter the palace as a man, either like Zhao Tuo who is particularly capable and favored by the king, or come from a wealthy family, no matter which one is, will have a bright future in the future, let alone the one behind him. The family also has a strong energy.

Everyone is friendly with each other, and will be released in the future. With their respective networks, no matter what they do, they can go smoothly, even if they are promoted, they can be one step faster.

After a while, Li You's Zhonglang, who was on duty under him, arrived, and he announced today's guard mission.

Because Zhao Tuo is a newcomer, Li You asked him to join Yang Xiong and Zhao Ben's team to perform inspection tasks in the forbidden area, just to get acquainted with the roads in the Qin Palace.

"You just follow me, today's safekeeping will let you know the way."

After Li You left, Yang Xiong put his arm around Zhao Tuo's shoulder familiarly and spoke enthusiastically.

Zhao Ben next to him was colder, but he also nodded to Zhao Tuo.

The Zhonglang team that patrols the forbidden area is also composed of Shi Wu, a group of ten people patrols the forbidden area, and Yang Xiong is the head of this Shi Wu.

Zhao Tuo knew from the chat just now that Yang Xiong is the eighth-level public servant, the same knight as him, and the highest knight in this Zhonglang team.

However, unlike Zhao Tuo's title, Yang Xiong's title was inherited after his death.

As for Zhao Ben, he is a Duke of the seventh rank, but it is not known whether his title came from inheritance or through other means.

After a while, Zhao Tuo, led by Yang Xiong, started his tour of the forbidden area.

The so-called forbidden center is the palace where the king and concubine live. Outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave without edicts. It is the most core place in the entire Qin State, and it is guarded and patrolled by Zhonglang day and night.

In comparison, Lang Zhong only guards around the palace gate, and his importance is much lower than that of Zhong Lang.

Yang Xiong and the others had been Zhonglang for several years, and they couldn't be more familiar with the forbidden middle road. Which concubine lived in which palace, and where did he do it? He introduced them all to Zhao Tuo in detail.

Zhao Tuo nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and he was glad that he had entered the palace as Zhonglang. The colleagues he met were all kind people, even his boss Li Youbu said that he took good care of him, but there was nothing difficult about it, and there was no cliché. Bloody plot.

After being guarded in the forbidden center for several consecutive days, Zhao Tuo gradually became familiar with this kind of life as a man.

What made Zhao Tuo uneasy was that Qin Wangzheng's attitude towards him was different from what he thought.

Ever since he was called as Zhonglang, Qin Wangzheng never summoned him alone again, nor did he take the initiative to ask him a question, as if Zhao Tuo had been forgotten.

But in fact no, Zhao Tuo met Qin Wangzheng several times when he was on duty, and the king also nodded to him, with encouragement in his eyes, but the interaction between the two was limited to this.

All this made Zhao Tuo feel itchy, but there was nothing he could do. Qin Wangzheng is like a high-ranking goddess, flirting with him from time to time, but never letting him make the next move.

On the contrary, Zhao Gao, who often followed Qin Wangzheng, took the initiative to talk to Zhao Tuo several times.

This made Zhao Tuo very envious. Zhao Gao's position was the order of the CRRC government, so he shouldn't have served Qin Wangzheng by his side. But helplessly, he is favored, and he is proficient in laws and documents, and is often brought by Qin Wangzheng's side for consultation. This is the real favorite.

Zhao Tuo's love is far beyond comparison.

Zhao Tuo was secretly anxious, because he was planning to report the method of retting to Qin Wangzheng after entering the palace, but he didn't even have a chance to talk to him.

Zhao Tuo actually understood that Qin Wangzheng was indeed a workaholic. When he was on duty at night, he would see attendants carrying bamboo slips towards Qin Wangzheng's bedroom from time to time.

The king was still reviewing bamboo slips until midnight.

So unless he encounters related matters or has something to ask, he is really unlikely to spend his time on Zhao Tuo.

Qin Wangzheng had no time to see Zhao Tuo.

But his daughter has.

On this day, Zhao Tuo, the Zhonglang team, completed the inspection mission and returned to the house to rest after handing over to the follow-up Pao Ze.

Li You is fine today, talking with everyone in the room.

Of course, it was he who spoke, and everyone listened.

Greetings from guards sounded outside.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open with a creak, and fragrant wind poured in.

Everyone looked for the reputation, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

A beautiful girl in a skirt came in, followed by several attendants.

As soon as the girl stepped into the room, she stretched her head and looked around, until she saw the man, a smile appeared on her fair little face.

"Princess!"

Li You trembled all over, and hurriedly stood up to salute and greet.

His face was flushed, his eyes were fixed on the girl's beautiful cheeks, and his heart couldn't help but flutter.

I didn't expect the princess to come here to find me in person.

Li You is now in his mid-twenties and still unmarried, such a situation is rare in today's era.

The reason is that a long time ago, his father Li Si told him that the king intends to marry the Li family and make Princess Li Youshang.

Princess Shang!

Be the son-in-law of Qin Wangzheng!

Hearing these words, Li You was so excited that he wanted to turn somersaults.

It's just that Qin Wangzheng's eldest daughter, Ying Yinman, is still young. According to the etiquette system, she can only marry him after she is fifteen years old.

It's only a few years, Li You can afford to wait.

So he suppressed his impatience and quietly waited for the princess in the palace to grow up.

Because he was afraid that Qin Wangzheng would be unhappy, Li You even controlled his lower body with strong willpower. He hadn't been close to a woman for several years.

Day after day, Li You watched the flowers in the Qin Palace grow vigorously, and the girl became more and more beautiful day by day.

Li You saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

be mine!

she is mine!

This is the voice that Li You cried out in his heart every time he saw Ying Yinman.

However, the girl did not have a good impression of this man who was more than ten years older than herself, and after knowing that King Qin intended to marry, she felt even more resentful.

Every time they met in the palace, the girl would avoid her in distaste. Facing Li You's greetings, the girl never answered, but just walked around.

Li You was very sad.

But now, those sad emotions are swept away.

It turned out that she had me in her heart.

Couldn't this be unbearable and come to me in person?

Look at the smile on her face, how happy it is.

Even, Li You heard Yang Xiong and others whispering behind him, and the princess actually came to find General Li Hu in person.

Thinking of this, Li You's legs trembled, and he said excitedly: "If the princess has something to ask you, you only need to be summoned, and you don't need to come here in person."

Hearing Li You's voice, Ying Yinman saw Li Youzheng staring at herself with straight eyes.

She wrinkled her nose and said, "I'm here to find Zhao Tuo."

Zhao Tuo?

Li You was taken aback.

Ying Yinman also realized that she had made a mistake, and added: "It's not me looking for him, it's my brother looking for him. Isn't it?"

She turned to look at her several maids.

The maids said helplessly: "Wei, it was Mr. Fusu who summoned you."

Master Fusu looking for Zhao Tuo?

Li You breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little disappointment: "Zhao Tuo, you are not on duty now. If the young master calls you, you should go quickly."

"only."

Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and responded, seeing the excited expression of the girl opposite, he knew that this matter was not easy.

But now that Li Youdu has spoken, he has no way to refuse.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Seeing Zhao Tuo getting up, Ying Yinman smiled.

Seeing Zhao Tuo going out with the princess, Li You stood still in a daze.

It turned out not to come to me.

But, why did Mr. Fusu want to find Zhao Tuo and let Princess Yinman pass the message?

Li You touched his head depressedly, and found that a leaf was pinched on the side of the crown at some point.

It was probably the fallen leaves that the wind blew from the big tree when we went out to inspect.

Li You took the leaves and looked at them.

very green.
