Chapter 824: Is This a Lonely Person?

Xianyang ten days later.

Zhao Lang was reading documents in the palace. Now that winter was slowly passing, he had to start preparing for some things.

One is to arrange for Dad to prepare for a tour to Baiyue Land after the spring.

The other is to make arrangements for the complete eradication of the Huns.

According to the current development of Great Qin, in more than a year, it will have enough strength to penetrate deeply into the grassland.

Cutting off the weeds requires eradicating the roots, and he will not give Mao Dun a chance to recuperate and make a comeback.

And if it goes on for a long time, the minds of the three brothers Li, Yi, and Lian may be slowly changed, and then there will be no useful people left, which will be uncomfortable.

He has no intention of fighting guerrillas on the grassland with these people.

Furthermore, at the end of the year, the harvest situation after the autumn harvest had been calculated in various places, and it was finally delivered to him.

The situation was pretty good, so he had the confidence to prepare for the conquest of the Huns.

It's just that everything is complicated, even he feels a little upset, and he doesn't know how his father has persisted for so many years.

This situation was no less favorable than in his previous life.

"Sir, please take a rest first."

At this time, Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu, one holding tea and the other holding cakes, said.

Zhao Lang put down the document in his hand with a smile and said,

"Okay, they are all annoying things anyway, so just don't look at them."

After saying that, he put down the paperwork and began to enjoy tea and cakes under the service of Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu.

It has to be said that after Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu learned medical and martial arts skills, even their massage skills became much better.

While Zhao Lang was enjoying it, Nu walked in with a strange expression and said,

"Master, you have a brother who wants to see you."

Zhao Lang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked,

"Which of my brothers?"

It's not his fault, he does have more brothers.

The slave returned immediately,

"The one from the Xiang family."

Zhao Lang suddenly understood, showed a smile, and said,

"Please...please wait and I will pick him up personally."

With that said, he walked outside.

At this time, outside the palace, Xiang Bo was standing in front of the steps, looking in awe at the grand palace in front of him.

He has been in his hometown since he surrendered to Da Qin, and then listened to the success reports of the group one after another.

In fact, I have mixed feelings in my heart.

No matter how stupid he is, he can now come to his senses. Zhao Lang's original purpose of approaching him may not be so simple.

But what if you see through it?

Xiang Yu has already left Da Qin with his people and is working hard in the south.

He stayed with his clansmen who could not travel long distances to help Da Qin stabilize the south. There was no chance for the Xiang family to make a comeback.

But no matter what, the Xiang family survived.

This was one of the few comforts he had.

Just when Xiang Bo was filled with emotion, a sound came from the palace,

"Brother Xiang is here! When did you arrive? Why didn't I notify you in advance so I could pick you up?"

The next moment, Xiang Bo saw Zhao Lang walking over with a happy face, but this time he did not go up to him like before, his face showed both joy and sadness at the same time.

He moved his lower lips but made no sound.

Finally he bowed respectfully and said,

"Uncle Xiang has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Zhao Lang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He felt that there was an insurmountable barrier between them.

Then he directly stepped forward to help the other party up and said,

"Brother Xiang, why are you so polite?"

Then he invited the other party into the palace.

After the two sat down, Xiang Bo glanced at each other with a complicated expression.

The more he gets to know Zhao Lang now, the more terrifying he feels.

Now he is obviously useless, but the other party still treats him with courtesy, without any slightest care.

If it was said that the other party was trying to confuse him with false feelings in order to obtain information, but what was it for now?

But if you want to say that the other party is really a true gentleman, those opponents who were tricked by the other party will probably jump out of the ground in anger.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhao Lang asked with a smile,

"Brother Xiang came to Xianyang this time. Is there something wrong?"

Xiang Bo quickly smiled and replied,

"Your Highness, Uncle Xiang came here mainly to report to you the current situation in the south."

As he spoke, Xiang Bo took out a document.

Zhao Lang took the document calmly, but did not read it. Instead, he handed it to the slave next to him and said with a smile,

"With you and Mr. Fan watching over me, I feel at ease."

Of course, the reason he was most relieved was because Meng Yi and Zhang Han had been watching over there with their army.

It is impossible for these people to survive any trouble.

Zhao Lang continued at this time,

"Brother Xiang has other things to do when he comes here this time, but it doesn't matter."

If it is just to deliver documents, just send them over by courier, and you will have someone watching over there.

There is no need for Uncle Xiang to make such a trip in winter.

Sure enough, upon hearing the question, Xiang Bo showed a trace of hesitation on his face, and finally said,

"Your Highness, Uncle Xiang indeed has a few letters to send to you."

As he spoke, Xiang Bo took out a few letters from his arms and said with evasive eyes,

"This is what the King of Han, King of Wei, and Marquis of Qi asked me to bring here along the way."

Hearing this, Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows slightly. Xiang Bo came from Chu and wanted to get the letters from Qi, Wei and Han, but it didn't go smoothly at all.

However, he didn't say much about the result and quickly read the letter.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiang Bo looked at Zhao Lang's expression nervously.

He went to Qi, Wei and Han at great expense this time, and of course it was not just to report the situation in Chu.

It's been almost more than a year since they were put aside. Although they are not worried that Zhao Lang will deal with them secretly, the promise made to them by the other party has never been fulfilled.

Not long after, Zhao Lang had finished reading the letter, and a smile appeared on his face. Of course, he could see the worries of these people.

After pondering for a while, he quickly said bluntly,

"Brother Xiang, just don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my previous promise."

"It's just that with my status now, I can't give you the title of king."

He is just a prince now, and the only one who is qualified to give a prince is his father.

Hearing this, Xiang Bo didn't feel depressed at all, but instead showed a smile.

Because the more this is the case, the more it proves that Zhao Lang is sincere.

As for wanting the First Emperor to grant them royal titles, that was impossible. Besides, if the other party dared to grant them titles, who among them would dare to accept them?

"Bo Xiang thanked His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiang Bo immediately stood up, saluted, and then left.

No matter how Zhao Lang treated him as before and kept him drinking, he knew that he could never regard him as the brother Zhao he was before.

Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Zhao Lang suddenly felt an unprecedented loneliness. Thinking carefully about the fact that although he had many brothers, except for the heartless Hu Hai, everyone else now had some barriers to him, and he couldn't help but think about it. Saying,

"Is this a lonely person?"

Seeing this scene, the slave on the side wanted to comfort the other party, but didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, Zhao Lang came to his senses at this time and said,

"Take the time to check out the situation of the land, and then you can send letters to Goguryeo and the Hu people, asking them to make reserves in advance."

To prepare for a war that does not affect people's livelihood at home, one needs to prepare two years in advance.

The slave immediately accepted the order.

Not long after, a group of messengers headed north.
