Through Time Chapter 310

Outside Xianyang, inside the Crane Academy.

How could Zhao Lang not have imagined that after he sent a letter to his cheap old man saying that he had urgent business to discuss.

But Cheap Old Dad came back so long later, and with a not-so-good look on his face.

“Father, why did you only come back.”

Zhao Lang said with a bit of urgency.

He would like to go to Xianyang to look for someone, but there was not even a place for him.

One could only wait.

Qin Shi Huang barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said that

“Business has been busy recently, so I’ve been delayed.”

Hearing these words, Zhao Lang frowned slightly and said that

“Father, you are busy again despite your health? It’s better to take care of your rest.”

Qin Shi Huang shook his head and said.

“No matter, father knows it in his heart, what are you urging father to come back for this time? Nor did you explain in your letter.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Lang’s face became slightly more serious as he returned to.

“Father, this is not a good thing to say in your heart.”

“A few days ago, I received a transfer order from the Tai Lieutenant’s Office to accompany me on this Shi Huang’s tour!”

Qin Shi Huang was not surprised, but nodded slightly.

He certainly knew about this.

But Zhao Lang, who was on the side, froze for a moment.

He had told the other side that this southern tour of the First Emperor was destined to be uneventful.

Wasn’t his own father a bit too calm when he had been transferred there by the Imperial Lieutenant’s Office to accompany him?

He himself had been busy arranging for a backhand in the past two days, and he was afraid that this year’s knot would not be a good one.

“Father, how come you don’t seem to be worried at all?”

Zhao Lang asked directly.

Qin Shi Huang immediately came back to his senses, his reaction was indeed wrong, but he didn’t panic either, instead, he showed a bitter smile and said

“Because Father is going along too.”

“What!”

Zhao Lang shouted out straight away, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly as his mind began to race.

Where did Qin Shi Huang not know what was in the other’s mind, saying that

“Don’t think too much, it’s just that father is going to be in charge of the supplies.”

Zhao Lang also nodded his head, if there was really anything going on, they would have been taken care of in one pot long ago.

“Father, it’s good for us to be together as father and son, there’s a caretaker.”

“But this time we have to be careful in everything.”

Qin Shi Huang looked slightly moved and said that

“Lang’er, the things you said, could they be related to the recent rumours?”

“Rumours?”

Zhao Lang froze for a moment, and then reacted with

“You mean that ‘Ancestral Dragon died and the earth was divided’ rumor?”

Both the lowly one and the spider web had reported it long ago.

The city of Xianyang had long been filled with rumours in the past few days.

Although the rumours did not point directly at anyone, the only person who could afford the word Ancestor Dragon in the Great Qin today was Qin Shi Huang.

But Zhao Lang did not pay too much attention to the matter itself, and instead had his men investigate the source of the rumours that had been spread.

Qin Shi Huang, however, nodded with an extremely serious face, and Zhao Gao, who was accompanying him, also tensed up his face.

“Long’er, the rumours say that a few days ago, there were star stones in Huiji County that fell from the sky, and the words on the stones were the will of the heavens.”

Qin Shi Huang, of course, did not believe in fate, but he still harboured a reverence for the heavens that was difficult to explain.

And the people of the world were even more so.

So, when he heard this rumour, he was extremely disturbed.

It was at this moment that Qin Shi Huang saw Zhao Lang reveal a smile straight away.

“Lang’er, what are you smiling at?”

Emperor Qin Shi Huang asked with a frown, he was not in a good mood right now.

Zhao Lang’s smile at this time, however, got even bigger and returned to.

“Father, don’t bother with these rumours, it’s obvious that someone is doing it on purpose to stir up the world.”

Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang was stunned, and then asked eagerly.

“Lang’er, are you saying that this is man-made?!”

He feared the heavens, but did not fear any enemy!

Zhao Lang nodded rightfully and said that

“Father, it’s true that stars fall from the sky, but they are mostly small stars.”

“If there really was a stone that big, then there would have been no grass for ten, or even a hundred, miles around!”

“That and the words on it, that’s even more impossible, it’s definitely carved by people.”

Zhao Lang did not say how the meteor fell, but explained it in a rough way.

Then went on to say that

“Father, think again, how far is Huiji County from Xianyang?”

“And with all these rumours in other parts of the Great Qin, isn’t it a bit too fast for this rumour to spread?”

“So, someone must be behind this.”

“The other party is just waiting for the First Emperor to confuse himself! It’s best to spur the First Emperor to carry out the killings.”

When First Emperor Qin heard this, he just felt a cold breath rush straight to his head, he did want to kill those people around there to quell the rumours!

If he actually did it, he would have completely fallen into the other side’s trap!

The Qin Shi Huang had a slight glint in his eyes and said that

“Long’er, who do you think could be doing this?”

Zhao Lang said indifferently, and

“Who else could it be, the plutocrats, the remnants of the six kingdoms.”

“They like to do this kind of petty things in secret, anyway, as long as they are not exposed to the open, the First Emperor can’t catch them.”

“If we wait for some more time and they really take root later, the First Emperor will be unable to catch them, after all, enemies in the shadows are the most dangerous.”

“So it’s not necessarily a good thing that the First Emperor’s health is getting better now.”

Hearing these words, the First Emperor’s expression became more and more complicated.

At this time, Zhao Lang continued to say that

“Father, let’s not bother with this matter, let’s first discuss the matter of the southern tour afterwards, in case there is something, we can also have a response.”

Qin Shi Huang returned to his senses and nodded without moving his head, and said.

“Long’er, you are the escort and I am the one carrying the supplies, I am afraid it is not easy to see each other.”

Zhao Lang could understand, the team on the southern tour would certainly not allow for the possibility of internal and external collusion.

“Well, it doesn’t matter, my son has never even seen the face of the First Emperor, and certainly won’t be protected from the core.”

“There should still be a chance when the time comes.”

“Anyway, if something goes wrong, you will come to me, I will protect you and we will go back to Liaodong together.”

Qin Shi Huang blinked, why was this boy always thinking of going back to Liaodong?

Dryly, he said.

“It’s not necessary…”

Before the words were out of his mouth, Zhao Lang spoke with confidence, saying

“Father doesn’t need to worry, I won’t relax about saving my life.”

Qin Shi Huang could not say anything more, only that his heart had already made up his mind that he would not give the other party the chance to leave when the time came.

The two of them immediately discussed again how to deal with the situation when the time came.

“Father, you should rest here for the next few days, my son…”

Without waiting for Zhao Lang to finish his sentence, Qin Shi Huang shook his head to that

“Long’er, father’s business is not finished yet, he must go back.”

Zhao Lang frowned and said to

“Father, then this is too strenuous for you, can’t you tell me where you are doing things and I will come back to you afterwards if something comes up.”

Qin Shi Huang showed a smile and returned,

“No harm, after the southern tour, father will tell you.”

And Zhao Lang could only agree that

“Then father, I’ll see you off.”

This time Qin Shi Huang did not refuse, and several people arrived at the door, only to see an old Taoist standing in the snow, looking up at the grey sky.

Qin Shi Huang looked at the other man with some curiosity, and Zhao Lang smiled and shouted directly that

“Old Huang, what are you looking at again?”

Old Daoist Huang Shi did not turn around, still looking at the sky, and said

“The sky has sent down star stones, this is the destiny of heaven, but why has this heavenly opportunity changed again.”

Hearing these words Zhao Lang could not help but shake his head and said that

“Old Huang, you’ve grown in your ability to pretend to be a god, just write the dao book honestly and leave those nonsense rumours alone.”

“You really want to know about the heavenly mysteries, huh?”

“Come on, Old Huang, I’ll tell you a secret, in two years’ time there will be a Fluxus guarding the heart!”

As soon as Zhao Lang’s words fell, two muffled sounds came from one side.

When Zhao Lang took a look, his Uncle Zhao and Old Huang sat down on the ground in unison.
