Walking out of the room,
Qin Song realized that..,
The courtyard that the King Of Qin used to imprison him was actually extremely exquisite,
Back when he was locked up in prison,
The willow branches had just sprouted tender shoots, but now they were already full of verdant, showing off their graceful figure.
"Young Master,"
The maid saw that his footsteps were a little weak,
She said respectfully, "His Majesty asked us to prepare a palanquin for you..."
Qin Song shook his head and refused. Anyone who had been forced to lie down for more than ten days like him would not have the intention to slack off again,
If he could move, he would move a little more.
So the maid ordered someone to lead the way in front, and she followed half a step behind Qin Song with her hands down.
Qin Song still didn't know the name of the maid. Previously, when she was reading to him..,
She had never been willing to say much,
Her attitude was also a little arrogant,
Qin Song thought that her arrogance was because she could read,
Now that he thought about it, this should be the person close to Qin Yue.
Along the way, the peach blossoms, Li Bai, and apricot blossoms were beautiful. Unfortunately, the place where Qin Yue held the banquet was too close,
He was not done yet,
He arrived at the place.
The reason he came was that Qin Yue had called him here,
Perhaps he wanted to humiliate him by asking him to attend the banquet with Yi An and Qiu Yun, or perhaps it was because his injuries had healed and he should come out to meet people to stop the "rumor" that "Qin Song Gongzi was tortured by the King Of Qin because he refused to obey him to the death". But when he arrived at the place, he was stunned. The banquet was sumptuous and full of singing and dancing, but there was only Qin Yue at the table. There was a seat below him that was still empty — was this so-called banquet for him alone?
Just as his suspicions arose, he saw Qin Yue beckoning to him with a smile and said, "Qin Song, come quickly. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Unexpectedly, he acted as if they were close friends.
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Qin Yue was selling in his gourd, since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came. Qin Song stepped forward and sat down.
Qin Yue clapped his hands and the dance started.
Qin Yue said, "These past few days Guoren has been busy with government affairs, so I have not been able to visit you. I wonder if Qin Song's health has improved? How have you been these days? Did the servants neglect their duties? Qin Song is this humble one's honored guest. If there is any inconvenience, feel free to speak frankly. Please don't regard me as an outsider. "
Qin Song smiled and said, "Thank you very much." He did not say much.
After not seeing him for a few days, Qin Yue's expression was much more peaceful than before. The hostility on his body was almost completely swept away. Qin Song's heart trembled. There were many monarchs in this world who were willing to accept remonstrances. However, he had never heard of a monarch who would reflect on his actions just because of a few words from a prisoner.
Qin Yue said, "Looking at Qin Song's rosy complexion, you must have been well nourished. Come, let me toast you. "
Qin Song thanked him again and raised his cup to drink. However, as soon as the muddy yellow wine entered his throat, he couldn't help but cough loudly.
The youth coughed until he couldn't catch his breath. His cheeks were flushed red from the choking, and his eyes were faintly glistening with tears. It was truly … Qin Yue's breathing paused for a moment before he stood up and sat beside the youth. He patted his back to soothe his breathing and said, "It's this Humble One's fault. The Great Qin's wine is truly too strong for your Southern Chu … Someone, change …"
"No need," Qin Song finally managed to catch his breath and said, "I'll take this!"
A strong sense of resentment rose in his heart. Damn, I've never drunk such bad wine in my life. It's as light as water and the taste is so strange … but at least it still has a little taste of wine. If it was something even lighter, I might as well drink water!
Qin Yue advised, "Qin Song, don't force yourself."
Qin Song finally reacted. He and Qin Yue were really too close at this moment. In particular, Qin Yue's hand was still on his back. It looked like he was half-hugging him. This made him particularly unhappy. Thus, he moved sideways a little and waited for Qin Yue to tactfully move back.
Qin Yue seemed to not understand his meaning at all. He sat up straight and occupied the space that Qin Song had vacated. He sighed and said, "Qin Song can even choke when drinking wine. I can only be at ease if I sit with you … it's also convenient to talk this way."
Qin Song said, "Your Majesty, please do as you wish."
They were just sitting at the same table. Arguing with him would be disadvantageous.
He no longer paid attention to Qin Yue. With one hand holding the pot and the other holding the cup, he began to drink by himself. His gaze fell on the young girl dancing in front of the court. His fingers lightly tapped the side of the cup, silently tapping to the beat of the music. He seemed to really think of himself as an honored guest of the Qin Palace. What a leisurely and contented appearance.
Qin Yue was surprised for a moment and then recovered. He began to chat occasionally. Then, the casualness on his face was gradually replaced by seriousness.
This young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was famous for his Qin Song sword dance. Although Qin Yue was attracted by his temperament and knew that he was quite intelligent, he did not think that he was very knowledgeable and talented. But after this chat, he was inexplicably surprised and disdainful of the Southern Chu. Such a knowledgeable and far-sighted person, but in the eyes of the Southern Chu people, they only saw his Qin Song sword dance. Moreover, they sent him to Daqin with such an inferior status. It was ironic.
He poured another cup for the young man and said with a smile, "Did you enjoy Qin Song to your heart's content today?"
Qin Song was a good wine. He did not refuse anyone. He drank it all in one gulp and sighed, "The tea is muddy and the wine is light. The song is mediocre and the dance is clumsy … It's just passable!"
Qin Yue choked. He originally wanted to use this as an excuse to recruit the young man. He did not expect to receive such an evaluation. He could not help but feel annoyed. He had forgotten that when it came to drinking and having fun, Daqin could not compare to Southern Chu. Moreover, this young man was one of the best among them. Just by looking at his Qin Song Gongzi title, one could tell.
Qin Song sighed and said, "The tea and wine are easy. If Your Majesty lets me go, I can let Your Majesty taste good wine and fragrant tea in less than three days. But the song and dance …"
He was slightly drunk at the moment. He stood up shakily and said, "The dancers I saw floated and turned back to the light snow. Sweet and graceful sending the wandering dragon to startle. The willow behind Xiao Chuang's hand is powerless. The clouds want to be born when the train is slanted. "
Qin Yue did not take it seriously. When he was about to praise his poem, he saw that Qin Song's momentum suddenly changed. His whole body seemed to become light and ethereal. His every movement had a wonderful rhythm. He casually raised his right arm, his long sleeve fluttering lightly. He casually turned, brushed, twisted … Qin Yue finally understood why this young man was famous for his dancing.
"Floated and turned back to the light snow. Sweet and graceful sending the wandering dragon to startle. The willow behind Xiao Chuang's hand is powerless. The clouds want to be born when the train is slanted … "He originally thought that the poem was too exaggerated, but now he felt that there was no other way to describe its beauty.
Before Qin Yue came back to his senses, Qin Song had already sat down. He sighed and said, "The singers I saw relied on their beauty to calm their spirit. They were able to blend their mood and mood. When resting, the mood does not change. Don't think too much … "
After shaking his head and sighing, he raised his cup and drank again.
Qin Yue's heart itched unbearably. He said, "Since the singing and dancing are not pleasing to the eyes, I wonder if I would be fortunate …"
Qin Song said indifferently, "I remember that Your Majesty invited me to attend the banquet, not to attend the banquet!"
Qin Yue choked. He was used to being rebuffed in front of Qin Song. He had been reminded several times, so he did not feel disobedient. He regretfully shook his head and let it go. Just as he was about to invite him out for a walk, he heard someone report that the Prime Minister had arrived.
Qin Yue frowned slightly, but he still ordered someone to invite him in. Qin Song stood up. "Your Majesty has government affairs to attend to. This official will take his leave."
Qin Yue grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back to sit down. He said, "There's no harm in listening."
Qin Song did not say anything else.
As Qin Yue expected, the Prime Minister, Taishu Zhi, had come over for the matter of Lu Zijin.
Daqin advocated military force, and its methods had always been simple and forceful. Previously, when its territory was small and the political situation was stable, it was not a big problem to act this way. But now that its territory had expanded by more than three times, there were frequent disturbances and endless troubles. These Daqin officials seemed to be struggling to deal with them.
When Qin Yue saw this situation, he boldly used the Liang person, Lu Zijin, and began to use him more and more. However, this caused the local powers to be dissatisfied. No matter what, they would nitpick and impeach him. The Prime Minister, Taishu Zhi, was one of the most forceful.
Taishu Zhi had come because of the recruitment hall that Lu Zijin had been ordered to build in the capital. He said that not only did it cost a lot of money and food, but the people who were recruited were either people who stole chickens and dogs or people who were useless and mediocre people who came to swindle food and drink. In the past few months, not a single serious talent had been found. Instead, the entire capital was in a foul atmosphere.
He gave many examples in a row to explain the harm of this group of people.
Qin Yue was also somewhat hesitant. He subconsciously felt that building a recruitment hall and recruiting people from all over the world was a good thing. But what Taishu Zhi said was also true. The recruitment hall had been built for a few months, but there were no results. Instead, it was harmful. If this continued …
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the youth beside him drinking wine with his head raised. His expression was relaxed. His heart stirred, and he asked, "Qin Song, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Qin Song shook his head. "I don't know."
Taishu Zhi frowned. "Your Majesty, the important matters of the imperial court are not to be joked around with …"
Qin Yue waved his hand to interrupt him. He said to Qin Song, "I know what you hate the most. If you give me a satisfactory answer today, I will promise you that I will not force you on this matter. How about it?"
Although Qin Yue was lustful, he did not think that he would lose his mind because of it. He had always been very clear when it came to pleasure and business. But when it came to Qin Song, he was faintly losing control. On one hand, he appreciated and even cherished the youth in front of him. On the other hand, he was increasingly unable to control his desire for him.
He would give the youth a chance. If he was worthy, he would no longer regard him as a plaything on the couch. He would be willing to restrain himself a little. Although the youth moved his heart, he was Qin Yue. The one thing he did not lack the most was beauties.
Qin Song was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he recited, "In ancient times, there was a person who used a thousand gold to seek a thousand miles horse …"
Taishu Zhi impatiently interrupted, "What nonsense is this!"
Qin Song acted as if he did not hear and continued to recite. He was famous for his Qin Song. His voice was naturally very pleasant to listen to. It was clear, clean, and intoxicating. Even when he was reciting, there seemed to be a lingering sound that lingered in the air.
"… 'Buy a dead horse for five hundred gold. What about a living horse? The world must have a king as the best horse. The horse has arrived today! 'Thus, if one can't expect a thousand miles horse to arrive, there will be three. "
After Qin Song finished speaking, Qin Yue and Taishu Zhi were silent for a long time. After looking at each other, Taishu Zhi said, "But all of the people who came today are mediocre. We can't really put them to good use, right?"
Qin Song smiled faintly and said, "You have to ask me this. Are you the Prime Minister or am I the Prime Minister? Do you want me to help you send them to Southern Chu to participate in the imperial examinations? "
Taishu Zhi was so angry that his beard was sticking up. "You! Bastard! "
"Qin Song's temper is like this. Don't take it to heart, Prime Minister." Qin Yue advised. Then, he said, "Qin Song, it's time for you to apply medicine. I will send someone to send you back."
Relief time ended … Qin Song casually took a pear from the table, chewed on it, and left leisurely.
Since then, Qin Yue would personally come over every few days to play chess and chat with him, or drink wine and have fun, or sail a boat on the lake … It was also at this time that Qin Song could get a moment of freedom, so much so that when he was bored, he would actually faintly hope that Qin Yue would think of him. Although he knew in his heart that it was wrong to think like this, some instincts were really hard to control.
Qin Song sighed. He really thought highly of him.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The wound on his face was almost invisible, but Qin Yue had no intention of letting him go. He reminded Qin Yue once, but Qin Yue didn't let him go for five days in a row. This made him very anxious, but he also knew that Qin Yue was waiting for him to be anxious, to break down, and to give in.
At night, Qin Song was suddenly awakened by a noise. Recently, his five senses had become extremely sharp. There was no movement outside, but he heard shouting and barking in the distance.
Was this … an assassin?
Just as this thought arose, a black figure silently flipped in. As soon as he turned around, their eyes met.
The assassin obviously didn't expect the person inside to be awake, but his reaction was very fast. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed over. He pinched Qin Song's chin and made him swallow a pill. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't shout. The maid outside has already been knocked out by me. It's useless even if you shout! You ate my poison pill. If you don't have the antidote, the poison will take effect in less than half a month … Quickly find a way to hide me. When I'm out of danger, I'll send you the antidote. Otherwise … "
Qin Song sighed and interrupted his incessant rambling, "Don't you ever observe the situation before you act?"
The man in black was stunned. "What?"
Qin Song pulled his wrist, and the iron chain made a dull sound. The man in black didn't respond for a long time. Although his face was covered and his expression couldn't be seen, his dull eyes looked like he was about to collapse.
Qin Yi raised his eyebrows and said with some displeasure, "What, you don't believe me? Throw this steamed bun out now and see if they … "
"I believe you." Qin Song said, "But I don't have the habit of threatening others with my life."
Why should he expect others to cherish his life?
Qin Yi was silent. He lowered his head and checked his wound, but didn't apply medicine. He only said, "It's healing well. It's better than I thought. In the future, I don't have to apply medicine for you personally … But I'll tell the medicine boy to prepare enough water for you. "
Qin Song said, "Thank you."
Qin Yi smiled. "You should thank me. Not only did I save your life this time, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to see your face now."
Qin Song's hand that was holding the bowl of water paused. He said, "Sorry, I can't thank you for this."
Qin Yi laughed. "Don't thank me for curing your injury. Just thank me for lending you water to wash up … Qin Song, you're really interesting. Even I like you a little."
Qin Song looked at him and said lightly, "But for people like you who treat your love as a gift, I really can't like you."
Qin Yi's smile froze. He sighed. "I just said you were interesting, but you immediately became boring."
He continued, "But although your external injuries are fine, your internal injuries … I'm very curious what you went through to injure your internal organs like this."
Qin Song didn't answer and continued to eat.
Qin Yi didn't force him. He smiled and said, "Fortunately, although I can't make medicine to cure your internal injuries, it's not impossible."
He took out a thin book from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Qin Song. He said, "This is the Art of Eternal Spring. It's a secret manual for internal energy. Although it's not very powerful, it's far better than others in terms of health …"
Qin Song didn't take it. He said, "In this world, any martial art that can cultivate internal energy is extraordinary. I appreciate Qin Daifu's good intentions, but I don't want this. "
Qin Yi's expression changed slightly. He said, "In my eyes, Qin Song, you're not a person who lets your emotions affect your decisions. Don't act rashly with your body."
Act rashly? Qin Song glanced at him and said lightly, "Daqin isn't the only one who has internal cultivation martial arts."
If he didn't have freedom, what was the use of martial arts?
If he had freedom, although internal cultivation martial arts were rare, it wasn't so precious that he couldn't get it. Why would he want something that these people threw to him?
Besides, if he wanted to practice martial arts, he wouldn't practice a set of martial arts that wasn't very powerful.
Qin Yi also knew that he had said something wrong. He softened his tone and said, "I know that you can get it yourself, but I can guarantee that in terms of health, there's no one better than this. This thing is …"
He paused and didn't continue. He only said, "With your body's condition, I'm afraid that ordinary internal martial arts …"
Qin Song interrupted, "I know my own body. Please forgive me for being blunt. Even if Qin Daifu was ordered to treat my injuries, you're meddling too much."
Qin Yi's expression stiffened. He smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I'm giving you this thing as an apology."
"Hmm?"
Qin Yi pointed at his shoulder and said, "That arrow of yours was shot by me … If it weren't for me, you would have been free and unfettered outside. Why would you have to suffer so much? So, this' Eternal Spring Formula 'is an apology. "
Qin Song said lightly, "Then I won't accept it."
"Why?" Qin Yi didn't understand. He had already lowered himself so much and said so much. What else did he want?
Qin Song said, "You and I have different statuses. I won't hate you for shooting me. I won't thank you for curing my injuries because you were ordered to do so. These are your duties — but how can I accept your things and be restrained when we meet on the battlefield in the future?"
Qin Yi said angrily, "Don't worry. You don't have to be restrained. With your mediocre martial arts, even if you train for another hundred years, you won't be my opponent."
Qin Song had already said what he needed to say. He pushed the 'Eternal Spring Formula' back and didn't say another word. He lowered his head and finished his lunch.
Qin Yi had seen Qin Song's stubbornness. He knew that if Qin Song had made up his mind, it would be useless for him to say anything else. He had no choice but to take the book back. He quietly waited for Qin Song to finish his meal before saying, "Qin Song, actually, I don't understand … you're not an idiot. You should have felt how important His Majesty is to you. Why did you try to assassinate His Majesty and end up in such a situation — why did you do this?"
Qin Song smiled faintly, "Such a situation? What's wrong with being in such a situation? When I'm tired of lying down, I can turn over, sit up, and even walk a few steps. I can use my two hands to eat, drink, and wash up. I have a small window where I can see the sky and smell the fragrance of flowers. When it rains, I can even personally take a handful of water. From time to time, I can hear the footsteps of the prison guards outside the door. Sometimes I can even hear their voices … Do you know, these are all things that I once dreamed of … "
"I, Qin Song, thought that I was strong in this life. But during that month in the palace, I almost went crazy and broke down countless times …" Qin Song's dark eyes quietly looked at Qin Yi. He said faintly, "You asked me why I wanted to kill the King Of Qin. Then let me ask you. You either become a complete madman or be completely domesticated, lose your dignity as a human, and become a dog that only knows how to wag its tail. What would you choose? Let me ask you, other than killing Qin Yue, was there any other way out for me? "
Qin Yi was speechless for a long time. When he opened his mouth again, his voice was a bit dry, "These … were indeed done by His Majesty. But His Majesty did this because he valued you and liked you. That's why he wanted to …"
"Like?" Qin Song sneered and said, "Can I trouble you not to taint this word?"
