There was a saying that a lion threw its cub off a cliff and let it climb up by itself in order to train it.
Although this saying seemed a little stupid now, because if the cliff was high enough, the cub would either break its leg and be unable to climb up, or it would be snatched away by the eagle, so it became chicken soup with poison added to it. It was so bitter that it made people cry.
But Emperor Qin undoubtedly wanted to use this method to train Ying Yinman. There was really nothing much to say about this. Although it was a little too much for a child of Ying Yinman's age, her goal was to become the Great Empress. The difficulty of achieving this ideal was no less than Emperor Qin unifying the six states. If she didn't work hard now, when would she?
However, since Emperor Qin wanted to use this method to train Ying Yinman, Tang Hao felt that there was no harm in going further.
Moreover, letting Ying Yinman drive the Gundam would free Yu Ji up. Yu Ji herself had the strength to fight against the Demon God Pillar alone. Adding the Gundam would at most make her a tiger with wings. However, with Ying Yinman and the Gundam, she would have an additional top combat power that surpassed the Gold Man out of thin air.
"Let her drive the Gundam?" Emperor Qin looked at the little girl sitting beside him. "Is this possible?"
Tang Hao smiled. "The battle with the demon god pillars can't last long. The jade in the national treasury should be able to support this battle. It won't reach the point of plundering the people's wealth. So the problem of energy can be ignored. Next, it depends on whether Yinman has the operational awareness and desire to fight."
With that, Tang Hao looked at Ying Yinman.
The little girl's eyes flickered with indescribable excitement and excitement. "Let me drive the Gundam? Is that the robot that looks great and cool? I want it, I want it, I want it! "
Ying Yinman jumped down from her seat, as if she couldn't wait.
Emperor Qin waved his hand and pretended to be angry. "Don't be so excited. Have you forgotten what I told you just now? This war is not a child's play. Both sides are betting their lives. If you drive the Gundam, it means that you have to go to the battlefield. Do you understand? "
Ying Yinman was stunned for a moment and asked, "Will father also go to the battlefield?"
"Of course."
"Then … what about brother funny?"
"Of course I will."
"Then … Yin Man wants to go too. Yin Man is not afraid!"
There was no fear on the little girl's face. Whether she was naive or a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers, Tang Hao did not know. He turned his head and looked at Emperor Qin, asking for his opinion.
Qin Shihuang threatened: "But you might die on the battlefield, are you really not afraid?"
"This …" As expected, the little girl's eyes revealed a trace of timidity, but in the next moment, her gaze turned, and she pulled Tang Hao's arm as she smiled mischievously. "At that time, Yin Man will stay by Imperial Father and Brother Smiley's side. If Yin Man encounters danger, Imperial Father and Brother Smiley's will definitely protect me, right?"
Emperor Qin Shihuang laughed, "You are a clever girl, but you call me Imperial Father, but you only grab your funny brother. What is the meaning of this? Sigh, a grown girl really can't be kept at home. "
Emperor Qin Shihuang sighed, looking like a disappointed old father. Ying Yinman blushed and immediately let go of Tang Hao's hand shyly. She ran to the back of Emperor Qin Shihuang, knelt in front of him, and hugged his thigh coquettishly.
Tang Hao was not embarrassed. Although he could see that little Yin Man had a little affection for him, she was only an eight-year-old girl after all. This kind of affection could not rise to the level of love. It was just a simple attachment to her big brother … This was not a Japanese anime, where a little affection from childhood could not be changed until death. After he left the Great Qin Dynasty, he would probably forget about it after a few years.
There was no such thing as a starting line.
"Okay." After thinking about it again and again, Emperor Qin Shihuang finally accepted this proposal. He took out a brocade box from beside him and took out a grape-sized pill. He put it in front of Ying Yinman and said solemnly, "Originally, I planned to wait until you are a few years older before taking this pill, but since you also want to go to the battlefield, then …"
"Ah!" Ying Yinman's eyes lit up and immediately reached out.
Smack!
Emperor Qin Shihuang slapped her hand away. "I can't give it to you now. Before that, you have to take a test."
"What test?"
"Three days. If you can completely control the Gundam within three days, then this pill is yours. Otherwise, you have no fate with it. Do you dare to take this test? "
"Of course I dare!" Little Yin Man's eyes widened and she nodded heavily.
"Very good." Emperor Qin Shihuang smiled and nodded. He then put away the pill and stood up. He looked at Tang Hao and said, "I will take the child to the base first. It is already late, you should go back and rest. We will discuss the matter of the demon god pillars tomorrow."
"Okay."
Tang Hao had no objections. Mastering the Gundam's operation in three days was not a small challenge for Ying Yinman. Of course, the sooner the better.
However, in his opinion, this shouldn't be too big of a problem.
After all, Great Qin's Gundam relied on consciousness and movements to control, which was much more convenient than regular Gundams. Relatively speaking, this method of control was more suitable for children. After all, a child's body was not fully formed and was like a blank piece of paper. If it was developed well, it would be more compatible with the Gundam.
Ying Yinman was only an eight-year-old girl who had not received any combat training. In the 21st century, she would only be a second grader in primary school. However … when the White Demon Nanye Takamachi transformed into the Gundam and stood in the sky, she was only an ordinary third grader!
"Zhao Gao." Emperor Qin Shihuang called out to the door.
The door opened, and a fair and plump eunuch walked in with his back bent.
Emperor Qin ordered, "I am going out. Send Lang Zhongling on his way."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, Emperor Qin Shihuang and Ying Yinman boarded the Immortal Imperial Carriage and headed towards the base. Meanwhile, in Xianyang Palace, Zhao Gao accompanied Tang Hao as they returned to the side courtyard.
"How have you been, Chief Zhao?" Tang Hao looked at the eunuch beside him and smiled.
To be honest, Zhao Gao was quite good-looking. He was fair and clean, and in the words of Tang Hao's era, he was a typical pretty boy. Although he was doted on by Emperor Qin Shihuang, he was very humble. Even when he walked beside Tang Hao, he was always half a step behind and did not dare to take the lead.
Although this was a way to deliberately lower his status, it still made people ignore his existence.
However, if Tang Hao did not know about his deeds, he would not have paid attention to such a little eunuch.
Zhao Gao bowed and smiled fawningly. "Thank you for your blessings. This lowly one is quite good."
"You flatter me. Although I am a Lang Zhongling, my position is not much higher than yours. Moreover, in a few days, I will be demoted to a commoner by His Majesty. When that time comes, I will have to call you Lord."
"Lord must be joking. Lord is deeply doted on by His Majesty, and all the officials can see that. Demoting you to a commoner is probably just a casual remark from His Majesty."
"Haha, being deeply doted on by His Majesty is nothing compared to Chief Zhao Gao. I heard that Chief Zhao Gao is greatly relied on by His Majesty. Was it because you protected His Majesty in the past?"
Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "That was within this lowly one's responsibility. There is no merit to speak of."
Tang Hao nodded his head slightly.
There was a saying that when Jing Ke attempted to assassinate the Qin Emperor, the one who shouted out the words' Wang Fu Jian 'was Zhao Gao. Due to Zhao Gao's quick wit, he saved Qin Shihuang's life. Thus, he gained Qin Shihuang's trust and was highly regarded. After that, he rose through the ranks and became one of Qin Shihuang's trusted aides.
Now, it seemed that this saying was most likely true.
As for Zhao Gao, Tang Hao had already mentioned it to Emperor Qin. Now that Zhao Gao was still the Chief Eunuch, it was obvious that Emperor Qin was not in a hurry to deal with him.
Although he didn't know what Emperor Qin's attitude was, Tang Hao could understand why Zhao Gao was acting this way.
After all, Zhao Gao was someone who had accompanied him for many years and saved his life. From a selfish point of view, Emperor Qin might not be able to bear it.
Moreover, Tang Hao had only been in Great Qin for half a month, and he had asked the First Emperor of Qin to kill his son, ask him to be wary of his right-hand man, and ask him to take care of his trusted eunuchs. If it wasn't for the fact that Tang Hao had Future Vision and Reason to back him up and that the First Emperor of Qin had been lenient towards him, he would have died 800 times over.
In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that Tang Hao was burdened with the task of changing history, he wouldn't have needed to do something so strenuous and unrewarding.
Speaking of which, this was all the fault of the Crown Prince of Yan!
If it wasn't for the Crown Prince of Yan sending Jing Ke to assassinate Emperor Qin, Zhao Gao wouldn't have had the chance to shout out the words' Wang Fu Jian '. Without the merit of protecting His Majesty, Zhao Gao might not have been able to make a comeback.
This Crown Prince of Yan definitely had the face of a loyal minister!
But then again, the reason why Jing Ke almost succeeded in assassinating Emperor Qin was because Emperor Qin was a mortal. Now, Emperor Qin had been to the Celestial Realm and learned the Celestial Realm's secret arts. Just his' Sword Comes' alone had the elegance of a flying sword. If history were to repeat itself, Jing Ke probably wouldn't even be able to get close to Emperor Qin.
But … he didn't need anyone to accompany him when he went back to rest. Could it be that Emperor Qin specifically asked Zhao Gao to send him off? Was it because Emperor Qin couldn't bear to kill Zhao Gao himself, so he gave him this chance so that he could get rid of Zhao Gao?
If that was the case …
"Doctor's order, please wait!"
Just as Tang Hao was pondering over Emperor Qin's intentions, a powerful voice suddenly came from behind him.
Tang Hao turned around and saw two familiar faces, Fu Su and Huhai.
Fu Su had a long sword at his waist and looked like an elegant young master. Hu Hai wore a jade crown and was also handsome and delicate.
When the two walked together, they vaguely gave people the feeling that they were a couple. If Hu Hai became Hu Han, perhaps it could really be imagined as a pair of incestuous lovers. Unfortunately … speaking of which, in the world of Xing Yue where there were as many women as dogs and marriages of convenience were everywhere, the men in Old Qin's family were actually able to protect their Jill. It was a rare and precious thing.
No, Big Brother Zheng in the strange news belt also couldn't protect his Jill in the end and became a real person who was neither male nor female. And recently, he even changed his occupation to a magical girl …
While Tang Hao's mind was in a mess, Fu Su and Huhai had already walked up to him.
"Doctor's order is well." Fu Su cupped his hands, his attitude humble. Huhai looked around and saw that Yu Ji wasn't around. He couldn't be bothered to put on an act and only nodded his head.
Tang Hao smiled and said, "Good day to the two young masters. May I know what advice you have for us?"
"I do not dare to give advice," Fu Su said. "I had originally wanted to go to Doctor's compound to inquire about a matter, and encountered my younger brother on the way. We came together, and did not expect to meet on the way. It is a coincidence."
"Then what is it about?"
"I will speak directly, it is about some of Imperial Father's actions today … …" Fu Su frowned slightly. "This morning, red clouds covered the sky, giving off an inauspicious light. Imperial Father and Doctor Lang Zhongling went out to investigate. After returning, Imperial Father made a big fuss, forcefully moving away the residents near Xianyang Palace, and even dismissed the palace maids and servants, and deployed a large number of soldiers. This … … is a battle about to occur?"
Tang Hao stilled. "Did His Majesty not mention it to you?"
Fu Su shook his head. "He did not mention it. So I asked Doctor Lang Zhongling for advice. If a battle is about to occur, us brothers can share Imperial Father's burden."
"So that is how it is. Since His Majesty does not speak, he must have his own intentions. I will not interfere."
"This … …" Fu Su was slightly disappointed.
Tang Hao said again, "Of course, in a few days, something major will happen in Xianyang Palace, and His Majesty is preparing for it. This is a fact."
"Then … who is the enemy?" Hearing this, Fu Su was still shocked even though he had guessed it. "The world has been at peace for many years. While there are occasional bandits and foreign enemies, they have all happened at the borders. Are there people who would dare to attack Xianyang?"
"The enemy may not be human. While I cannot explain in detail, you can think of it as evil demons from other regions."
"Evil demons from other regions? What is that? "Hu Hai's eyes widened." Doctor Lang, are you joking? "
"Of course not. Are you making such a big fuss for His Majesty for a joke?"
"This … …" Hu Hai was speechless.
Tang Hao said, "The enemy this time is very strong. Forgive this one for speaking bluntly, but I fear that the two young masters will not be able to help. If you really want to know, you can ask His Majesty, and prepare early. I will not speak."
Fu Su nodded to express his understanding. "Then I thank Doctor Lang. I have nothing to do. Since you have returned to the fu, I will send you off."
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. Fu Su probably did not give up.
Hu Hai's eyes lit up and he said warmly, "Right, right, right. Since evil demons from other regions are invading, we will send Doctor Lang on his way. The more people, the safer."
I think you have an ulterior motive.
While Tang Hao did not want to be sent off by them, Fu Su's enthusiasm could not be stopped. Hu Hai was even more enthusiastic than Fu Su, so he could only reluctantly agree.
Along the way, Fu Su asked a few more questions. Tang Hao used Qin Shihuang as an excuse to avoid the topic … While it would be fine even if he said the gist of it, but if he talked about the demon god pillars, he would have to talk about human reason. It was a waste of time and useless.
Moments later, they arrived at Tang Hao's compound.
At this point, Fu Su had already given up. He bowed with folded hands and prepared to return home.
Hu Hai's feet seemed to be oiled as he burrowed into the compound, his eyes looking around. "Ah, Doctor Lang, how come I do not see Miss Yu today?"
"Oh, she has gone out on business," Tang Hao answered perfunctorily.
"Gone out?" Hu Hai stilled and then said reproachfully, "Doctor Lang, this is your fault. She is a weak woman, and you let her go out alone. If she encountered bad people, it would be so dangerous!"
Tang Hao rolled his eyes again. Yu Ji was a weak woman?
Even Yu Ji of Earth's history was multi-talented, skilled in sword dance, and had accompanied Xiang Yu on horseback in battle for many years. She was definitely not a weak woman, much less the true ancestor of Moon's history, Yu Ji. There were not many people who could fight better than her.
But if she encountered bad people, it would be quite dangerous … The bad people would most likely die a terrible death.
"Ah, Doctor Lang, you still do not know how to be protective of the fairer sex." Hu Hai seemed to have found an opportunity and said, "In my opinion, how about this. Since the foreign fiends are about to invade, it is not safe for your compound to have no guards. Why don't you let Miss Yu stay at my compound for a few days to protect her? What do you think?"
Tang Hao looked at him with a dark expression. "I don't think it is a punishment."
"Uh —"
Hu Hai stopped, clearly not expecting Tang Hao to refuse so decisively.
Tang Hao was actually quite depressed. What was wrong with this Hu Hai? Could it be that he couldn't tell that Yu Ji was his wife? Although Yu Ji would not be at a disadvantage even if he sent her to Hu Hai's compound, and he might even be able to use this opportunity to get rid of Hu Hai, this hidden danger, but … a honey trap should be used by others. How could he send his wife away!
"Brother, let's go."
At the same time, Fu Su could not stand it anymore. He came over and grabbed Hu Hai's arm. As he dragged him out, he scolded, "Doctor Lang and Miss Yu are a match made in heaven. Don't disturb them anymore. Know your limits."
"Big Brother, what are you saying …"
As the two walked out of the courtyard, their voices could still be heard intermittently. "They are not married. Why can't I intervene? I like Miss Yu … No, I have to protect Miss Yu …"
Tang Hao could not help but shake his head and sigh as he listened from afar. Huhai was not necessarily a bad person. At least, he had not shown that kind of ferocious personality yet. Perhaps his personality changed after he ascended to the throne, and with Zhao Gao as an example, he was led astray.
Of course, there must be something wrong with Hu Hai's brain. How stupid would he be to say that he wanted to steal his woman in front of him … Did Sanlu drink too much when he was young?
As Fu Su and Hu Hai left, Zhao Gao also cupped his hands in farewell. Maybe his sense of danger made him realize that he might die if he continued to stay here, so he left with the two princes.
Tang Hao sighed inwardly. If Fu Su wasn't here, he could have gotten rid of Zhao Gao and Huhai together. He didn't have to kill them, he just had to break a few of their limbs so that they couldn't do anything evil. This way, he would be able to explain himself to Emperor Qin.
However, he could not do this in front of Fu Su.
And most importantly, the invasion of the demon god pillars was imminent. He had no more time to deal with Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.
Maybe, there were some things he could not stop.
Or maybe …
"My enemy is not them, and their enemy is not me."
Yes, Tang Hao's enemy was the demon god pillars, the culprit behind the destruction of human reason.
And Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's enemy was probably someone else.
Was it Fu Su? Was it Li Si? It might even be Ying Yinman …
