...

On the tenth day of April, early summer, the weather is clear.

The large areas of wheat fields on both sides of the Wei River are rolling and undulating, and countless farmers are working in it.

The river bank is covered with green trees and flowers, and countless scholars wearing wide-sleeved robes gathered in the grass and under the shade of trees to play the piano and chat.

It just so happens that today is another day of rest, so many princes, princes, ministers and officials in brocade clothes also brought their families and friends to play by the river and enjoy the scenery of the Wei River in early summer.

And in the clear and rippling Wei River, there are a group of children swimming and playing in it. The scene is very lively

On the grass on the river beach near the east gate of Xianyang City, an old man was shaking his head and reciting with a newspaper. A large group of young students were sitting around him, and more tourists were also standing in the outer circle and listening to it.

"Look, who is that? How could there be so many imperial guards?"

A sudden scream echoed among the crowd, which made many people turn their heads and look in the direction of their fingers. They saw a team of black helmets and black armor riding horses out of the woods across the river. In the majestic and neat team, black flags rolled in the wind, mixed with dozens of various carriages.

Seeing the team coming straight to the Weihe Bridge, the crowd of people who were playing and chatting by the river suddenly became restless, and all stood up and tiptoed to visit.

"I see clearly, it's... it's Qinghe Hou!" A sharp-eyed student saw the handwriting on the flag clearly and jumped up excitedly and shouted loudly.

"Qinghe Marquis?!"

"Wow, it's Qinghe Hou, I'll go and greet you!"

Many people ran towards the bridge, and hundreds of people whistled away. In an instant, only an old man stood with his hands behind his back, with his coarse linen and gray hair floating in the wind.

The Marquis of Qinghe has returned to Xianyang!

This news was like a blow to the Taiyi Divine Thunder explosion, instantly awakening the entire Xianyang. Countless people came out of the streets and alleys, standing on the city gates and streets to welcome the young marquis who returned from marriage.

Chen Xu sat in a luxurious carriage led by four horses. A monkey squatted on his shoulder and scratched his ears and looked around. Next to him was a beautifully dressed in a black dress. Next to him was a girl of five or six years old and eight or nine years old. She was lying on the railing of the car, her eyes kept looking at the super huge city and the crowd cheering in the middle of the road, her face full of infinite curiosity.

"Look, that little lady in black must be the bride of the Marquis!" Shocking sounded from time to time in the crowd.

"Wow, the bride is really beautiful!"

"Yes, no wonder the Marquis looked down on the fifth princess. He didn't expect the bride to be so beautiful and dignified!"

"But the fifth princess is also very beautiful, and there are no more beautiful ones in Xianyang!"

"If I were the marquis, I would definitely marry the fifth princess!"

"There is also the legitimate daughter of Lord Meng. I heard that she is only thirteen years old, smart and beautiful, the first in Xianyang. The Marquis also personally asked Lord Meng for marriage!"

"I always thought that the Marquis was a good man who ended up in one's own life, but I didn't expect that he was also a fickle reed. My heart hurts so much!"

"You ordinary people know what do you guys know, and you..."

A man in his twenties dressed in essay clothes curled his lips and looked at an ugly woman beside him with thick hands, thick feet, big face, and a jade hairpin and a golden hairpin on his head. He said disdainfully: "It's better to go home and hide, just talk about the Marquis, forget it, but dare to run out and show up in public!"

"What did you say? Do you dare to say I'm ugly?" The woman was furious and reached out and grabbed the young scholar's ear. At the same time, there were several burly guards beside the woman, and they squeezed up and pressed the young scholar to the ground. One of them pulled out his big sword and roared: "The ignorant dared to humiliate Lord Ling Yin's beloved daughter of the Ministry of Justice. Let's go and take him to the Ministry of Justice's prison!"

"Ah, let me go!" The young scholar was so scared that he lay on the ground and shouted for help.

"Did you say I am ugly and not worthy of Qinghe Hou?" The woman raised it and said, pulling the young scholar's ear?"

"No, no!" The young scholar shook his head in an instant and felt as refreshing as a rattle. The hero did not suffer any loss in front of him. Unexpectedly, this ugly woman was actually the daughter of Yin Wu, the Ministry of Justice. She was so blind that she was already helpless.

"Then what you said just now?" The woman continued to hold the young scholar's ears unyieldingly.

"That... I mean, you are like Xi Shi, you look like Xi Shi. He fish are so sank you so hard that you dare not look directly at it. You describe the girl as beautiful... Well, pretty..." The young scholar said at the end and covered his mouth hard.

"Really? You said I am as beautiful as Xi Shi?" The woman smiled brightly in an instant, and opened her mouth and showed a few big yellow teeth.

"It's really...drip..." The young scholar couldn't help but bend over.

"You look so handsome and speak nicely, and you're a scholar. I like you very much. Go back with me. I'll ask my father to arrange three books and six gifts to marry you... Well, I'm marrying you!" The woman looked up and down at the young scholar several times before letting go, then held his arm and leaned forward.

"Little lady, please spare me~" The young scholar collapsed instantly.

"What are you talking about? Let's go quickly and go back to Master Yin's mansion with us!" A few burly guards, Nian La, brought the young scholars out of the crowd.

"I won't go, I'm a real man. Wealthy and honor cannot be tyrannical, and we cannot be betrayed, let go of me..." The young scholar kept struggling and wailing.

"What are you shouting? If you marry our second wife, Lord Yin will definitely not treat you badly. You will be in the Ministry of Justice in a few days!" An elderly guard scolded.

"Really?" The young scholar stopped struggling in an instant.

"Of course it's true. My father is an order of the Ministry of Justice, a second-rank official, husband, what rank do you want to be?" The woman hugged the young scholar's arm and was unwilling to let go.

"The second grade...forget it, the third grade, let's forget it...the fifth, six, seven or eight grades are fine!"

"Then I'll make up, but after marrying me, I can only spoil me one, and I can't go to the garden on weekdays..."

"I want to go back, let go of me, let go of me~" The young scholar struggled again, but as the saying goes, his arm could not twist his thighs, and he was soon dragged by a group of people and disappeared into the bustling crowds all over the streets.

Chen Xu sat in the carriage, looking at the greeting crowd, listening to the content of the conversation, and constantly thrusting his face.

"Husband~" Shui Qingrou gently held his hand, smiled with a curved eyebrows and said softly: "It turns out that my husband has such a great reputation in Xianyang!"

"Yes, it's so famous!" Chen Xu sighed with a dark face.

"Hehe!" Shui Qingrou's delicate body trembled slightly while covering her mouth and laughing.

As Chen Xu passed by, prison carriages imprisoned Ran Chi and a group of bandits followed one after another. Looking at the bandits imprisoned in the prison carriage, the crowd became violently turbulent again.

"Why did the Queen Qinghe arrest all these people?" One person asked in surprise.

"I don't know, maybe it's because the bridal chamber is too powerful, which angered the marquis!" someone next to him replied.

"You have such a brilliant mind, why don't you write a novel to contribute?" Another person snorted coldly with disdain.

"Thank you, brother, reminds me that I am an outside reporter from the newspaper office. I am racking my brains on this matter recently. This story of Qinghe Hou's angrily arresting guests on his wedding night will definitely be very popular..."

"Brother Tai is actually a reporter from the newspaper office. I feel respectful and respectful!" The person who snorted coldly suddenly relaxed his face. He grabbed the other person's hand and shook it hard, and then said with a flattering look, "This place is noisy, I'll ask Brother Tai to go to the teahouse for tea!"

"It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful, please!"

"please!"

"Go together, we have written some articles but have nowhere to contribute. I hope my brother can introduce the editor-in-chief of the newspaper..."

"Haha, it's easy to say..."

A group of people immediately left together.

"Report~ Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qinghe has returned to Xianyang and is heading towards the Marquis of Qinghe's Mansion!" An imperial guard rushed into the palace with a token in his hand and reported loudly outside the Zichen Hall.

"Ah, the Queen of Qinghe is back. OK, okay, please call us into the palace quickly!"

Qin Shihuang, who was reviewing the memorial in the room, was overjoyed. He stood up and said, then waved his hand and said, "Let's wait, the Queen of Qinghe has been exhausted all the way, so let's summon it tomorrow!"

But shortly after the imperial guards left, another palace servant rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, please see outside the palace of the Qinghe Marquis!"

Qin Shihuang was stunned for a moment and put down his brush, tidying up his clothes while saying, "Come in quickly!"

"Here~" The palace servant stepped back, and Qin Shihuang took a few deep breaths so that his excitement would slowly calm down.

As for Chen Xu, it can be said that Qin Shihuang's mood was extremely complicated.

There is dependence, respect, expectation, and even a little fear and rejection.

Because Chen Xu's identity really made him feel so entangled.

With a burst of rapid footsteps, Chen Xu soon followed the palace servants into Zichen Hall, stood at the door several feet away and bowed: "Your Majesty, I am back!"

"It's good that my dear is back. I've been waiting for you day and night, but I've been exhausted all the way. Hou Qinghe should not be so anxious to come to the palace to see me!" Qin Shihuang stood up with a smile on his face and said.

"Thank you for your understanding. Although the journey is long, the weather along the way is sunny and not exhausted. This time, I returned to Nanyang and a major event happened in Wancheng. The incident has been sent back by the postman in a hurry. I wonder if Your Majesty has seen it!" Chen Xu sat down and bowed.

Qin Shihuang's face suddenly became serious, and he nodded slightly and said, "I have known about Ran Chiang planning to burn the Nanyang Cang and abducting the bride at the wedding. I only feel much more relaxed when I learned that my beloved is safe. This is my negligence. I have let Ran Chiang escape for several months, which will cause this disaster!"

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. Ran Chi has already planned to build a nest deep in Funiu Mountain a few years ago, gathering hundreds of bandits. Last year, Wancheng attacked His Majesty's headquarters was just one attempt. This time, he heard that I was going back to Nanyang to get married, so he planned to burn the Nanyang Cang to disrupt Wancheng, and then took the opportunity to abduct Shui. All the purpose was to force the persecutor to hand over the Taiyi Divine Thunder production recipe..."

"What? The thief is so bold?" Qin Shihuang's face changed drastically, and he punched him hard on the desk and stood up.

Taiyi Divine Thunder is a terrifying weapon made by Chen Xu based on three volumes of heavenly books. Qin Shihuang naturally knew the power of Taiyi Divine Thunder. Now the seven large pits by the Wei River are still placed there all day long for tourists from all over the world to worship. However, given Chen Xu's identity, Qin Shihuang even thought it was so terrible, but he never made any requests. He was afraid that Chen Xu would not agree to it, and he would be afraid that the relationship between the monarch and the minister would be less harmonious.

Once the king and his subjects are suspicious, there will inevitably be cracks in their relationship, which is something Qin Shihuang doesn't want to see.

"Your Majesty calms down. Although the Taiyi Divine Thunder formula is not complicated, it is very difficult to successfully produce it with enough power, and it is not easy to preserve. What's more, it is not very stable. It may explode due to the disorder of the five elements during production. If you accidentally make it, the maker can be crushed to pieces. This is why I have not handed it to Your Majesty after I successfully developed the Taiyi Divine Thunder. In addition, the power of the Divine Thunder is huge and it hurts the sky. Please understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts! Moreover, this time I took this opportunity to catch all the Ran Chi and the bandits, and the Divine Thunder formula has not been lost!"

"Huh~~ That's good!" Qin Shihuang let out a long sigh, and then his face cleared slightly and sat down and waved his hand and said, "Taiyi Divine Thunder is a teaching of the Heavenly Book. Only the Qinghe Hou knows it in the world. I am naturally relieved. This time, Ran Chi assassinated me last time, and this time he burned the granary to burn hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, and he also looked at the recipe for the divine thunder. It can be seen that his intention to rebel against me, the Qin Dynasty is not dead. This time, thanks to the Qinghe Hou's unrestrained design to capture him, which has also reduced my heart. My dear friends have made great contributions. I must reward you well!"

Chen Xu quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty has given you enough rewards. Besides, I have just heard of the great victory in the Henan War. General Li Xin successfully wiped out Henan in more than a month. This contribution to the creation of territory should be rewarded with great rewards. I am only a minor merit. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to transfer my reward to the soldiers who fought this time!"

"Don't refuse. This time General Li Xin was able to wipe out Henan so quickly, but he still relied on new pawn equipment and steel weapons. It was his credit! I know that I am not a person who is greedy for money and sex, but I have never congratulated you on your wedding. Just treat it as my gift. After a few days of leisure, I will bring my wife into the palace. I will hold a banquet with several imperial concubines. At the same time, I will also let me see what a strange woman my lover has been thinking about!"

Chen Xu had no choice but to agree with a wry smile.
