Chapter 144 Become the Village Chief

There was a charcoal basin placed in the palace room, which was sultry and hot.

As soon as Chenglong entered it, he broke into a thin sweat not long after.

"grandmother!"

Cheng Xi knelt in front of the sick bed and held Queen Mother Xia's hand. He saw that her face was pale and haggard, and there was a trace of sadness in her voice.

"Xiao'er, you're here."

A smile appeared on Queen Mother Xia's face, and Cheng Yu held her hand, feeling unbearable.

"I bought the best century-old ginseng from a vendor. Grandma, after you take it, your illness will definitely be cured."

Queen Mother Xia touched Cheng Yu's tear-stained face with her hand and sighed slightly.

"Although ginseng can prolong life, no matter how good the ginseng is, it can't stop God from accepting people!"

"No, you're going to be fine."

Queen Mother Xia had a close relationship with Cheng Yu, and she had been brought up by her since she was a child. But now, Empress Dowager Xia's originally happy face showed a hint of worry.

She held Cheng Yu's hand, feeling uneasy.

"Xiao'er, you have to promise me something."

"Grandma, tell me, I will definitely help you do it."

Queen Mother Xia waved her hand and sat up with difficulty with the help of the maid and Cheng Yu.

"You guys go down first!"

The tears on Cheng Xi's face have dried, and there is some doubt on his face at this moment. What is the matter with Queen Mother Xia that makes her so serious.

"Xiao'er, I want you to promise me that you will be your Chang'an Lord for the rest of your life and never have other thoughts."

"I know that after my death, many people will encourage you and advise you to take a step forward. But you must remember that you cannot be an enemy of the king."

"You have a close relationship with the king. As long as you don't rebel, you will be safe and live to the end of your life."

Empress Dowager Xia's seductive words were not heard by Cheng Yu. His expression changed, he loosened Empress Dowager Xia's hand, and his tone turned cold.

"Grandma, you know, the throne of Qin should have been mine. But my father listened to the slanderous words of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji and made him the prince."

"Xiao'er, what you said is totally rebellious."

"I have been saying this for too long. We are all your grandchildren, but I thought you would stand by me, but you advised me not to take back what originally belonged to me."

Cheng Xi stood up and said.

"Let me ask you, when it comes to military force, military control, country governance, and family background, how am I inferior to him? But why is he the king of Qin!"

Queen Mother Xia sighed and advised.

"Chengxiao, Chengxiao! You are just a dragon, but he is a dragon! You can't defeat the king."

Empress Dowager Xia's sincere words actually aroused Cheng Yu's fighting spirit.

"Jiao also has the time to transform into a dragon. I will not be stepped on by him for the rest of my life."

Cheng Yu looked at Queen Mother Xia and bowed.

"My grandson can promise my grandma that if he ascends the throne of King Qin one day, he will never take his life and will make him rich and noble for the rest of his life."

"蜟儿,蜟儿"

Queen Mother Xia's weak cry was only followed by a figure leaving with more determination.

Xianyang wine shop, the streets are busy with traffic.

After Zhao Shuang came out of Huayang Palace, he looked depressed.

"I gave you a wife for nothing, why aren't you happy?"

Zhao Laosi sat opposite him and joked a little.

"I gave you a wife for free, but it will take more than ten years before I can actually get it. If it were you, you would be happy!"

Zhao Shuang picked up the wine glass from the table and looked at Zhao Laosi.

"I have heard that Zhao Hai and Zhao Ying not only became middlemen, but also married ladies from famous families. The Feng family, the Wang family, the Hou family, the Li family, and the Yang family, all of them They all come from extraordinary backgrounds, they need a good figure, and they need a decent appearance, but it happened to be me who gave it to a little girl.”

Zhao Laosi looked at Zhao Shuang and smiled even more heartily.

"The old queen is clearly taking advantage of you, and she wants you to thank her."

Zhao Shuang glanced at Zhao Laosi, and gently raised his head that was hanging weakly.

"You sold hundreds of war horses to Lao Ai. Lu Buwei will find out sooner or later. If you want to hide behind and watch the show again, I'm afraid it won't be that simple."

Zhao Laosi tapped his fingers on the table and smiled slightly.

"Then you look down on Lu Buwei too much. I'm afraid he has already found out."

"Then what are you going to do, continue to act crazy and act stupid?"

Zhao Shuang didn't get an answer to his question. He raised his head and saw Zhao Laosi looking at him with a smile on his face, but didn't say a word.

"You're not asking me to help you settle this matter, are you?"

Zhao Laosi finally showed a satisfied smile on his face, and at the same time, behind this smile, there was still some sadness.

"I'm getting old. The promising children in our clan have now gone somewhere, started families and started businesses. They have to make their own way in the future. I still want to live a leisurely life for a few days. The position of the village chief , I will pass it on to you today. Resign your position, and after settling this matter, go back to take charge of Zhaojiacun!"

""

"The hundreds of miles of land in the village will be yours from now on."

Zhao Shuang didn't understand for a while. Was he promoted or demoted?

Zhao Laosi raised his hand and pointed under the railing. Wei Zhuang was standing there, looking at them.

But he stood up and patted Zhao Shuang on the shoulder.

"It's up to you to settle the matter. I also made a chess match with Gui Guzi and those old guys, so we can make the first move."

Zhao Shuang looked at Zhao Laosi with a bit of disbelief in his eyes.

Listening to his voice, is he planning to retire early?

Xiangbang Mansion.

Lu Buwei waited, but in the end he did not wait for Zhao Laosi, but instead he waited for an extremely handsome young man.

Wei Zhuang followed him with the shark teeth. As soon as they met, he knelt down, kneeling very thoroughly.

"Mr. Zhao is so proud that he sent a junior of yours to kill me."

"Xiangbang, I said that this matter was conspired by him and the Queen Mother Huayang. The Queen Mother Huayang promised to give him several positions of lieutenant, and let several of my clan's sons come to Xianyang to serve as officials. And he, Then encourage those old guys to sell war horses and a large amount of ordnance."

Lu Buwei didn't expect that the boy in front of him would explain everything before he opened his mouth.

After so many years, he has never seen such a cooperative person? For a moment, Lu Buwei was stunned.

"It's such a secret. If you reveal it so quickly, aren't you afraid that Mr. Zhao will settle the score with you?"

"It's fine if you don't tell me, but I'll be angry if you tell me. That old guy got so many lucrative jobs and didn't give me any of them. When things come to a head, he doesn't dare to come to see Xiangbang, so he sends me to take the blame?"

Zhao Shuang looked unhappy, snorted softly, and two balls of white water vapor spurted out from his nostrils.

"I am willing to take refuge with Lord Xiangbang from now on, and work like a cow or a horse, without any complaints."

Lu Buwei smiled and looked at Zhao Shuang.

"The old man's house is in need of a court boy to serve him when he is out of court. Are you willing?"

"It is my greatest honor to be able to wipe Mr. Xiangbang's butt!"

With that said, Zhao Shuang stood up happily, with a smile on his face.

"Master Xiangbang, do you want to show your respect? I will come to serve you right away."

Lu Buwei looked at the shameless look of the boy in front of him and sighed in his heart. It's a pity that this good appearance has no spine at all.

"Forget it, I can't afford it, just leave!"

Zhao Shuang was unhappy with what Lu Buwei said.

"No, I can also do other things, such as making the bed and folding quilts, washing and cooking. When it's hot in summer, I can fan Xiangbang, and when it's cold in winter, I can help him cover Xiangbang. As long as Xiangbang is willing, the villain will be Xiangbang. There is a dog in the house, you can drive it as you please."

"roll!"

Lu Buwei shouted, feeling really impatient.

Wei Zhuang felt a little sad in his heart when he looked at Zhao Shuang who was shrinking and retreating.

Zi Nu, this is the man you like.
