Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 106, breaking the game in one step
The white-haired old man glanced at him, knocked on the table with his pipe, and poured out the ash.

"Old man, you still smoke at such an advanced age." Jiang Wangsheng said.

"It's not smoking, it's loneliness." The old man sneered.

The old man was dressed in coarse linen and dirty, as if he had just come out of the field after finishing farm work.

His eye sockets were sunken, his skin was as dry as wood, and his pupils were faintly gray. He drank a sip of tea and smoked a cigarette, and sometimes coughed loudly, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs.

Jiang Wangsheng reached out and patted his back, saying, "Don't worry, don't worry."

The old man replied in a hoarse voice: "When you get older, you are not as good as before."

While suffering, the old man was surrounded by clouds and mist, enjoying the pleasure of smoking almost pervertedly.

Chen Bangzhou and Huang Mengjue walked into the house.

The owner of the house seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and ordered his servants to open the main door in advance, so Chen Bangzhou and the two could walk to the main hall unimpeded.

Chen Bangzhou looked at the person sitting on the chair drinking tea, and said, "Wei Qi, long time no see."

"That's right, the grassroots saw the Prime Minister, and he was not feeling well, so he couldn't get up." Lei Weiqi said sadly.

Huang Mengjue cupped his hands: "Junior Huang Mengjue, pay my respects to senior."

Lei Weiqi stared at Huang Mengjue and said, "Which granddaughter surnamed Huang are you?"

Huang Mengjue looked at Chen Bangzhou, and Chen Bangzhou nodded.

Huang Mengjue replied, "Exactly."

Lei Weiqi showed a kind smile, "The little girl has grown up so much, I remember when I was still in the army, Huang Yingjun always liked to follow me."

"Ah." Huang Mengjue was at a loss.

Lei Weiqi waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, sit, sit."

Huang Mengjue sat down with Chen Bangzhou.

Lei Weiqi said in a strange way: "The shelf is really getting bigger and bigger, but unfortunately I don't have a crane chair here, otherwise I will give you an honorable place."

Chen Bangzhou didn't get angry, he chuckled, "Wei Qi, I haven't seen you for so long, you still look like this."

"At least I still look like a human being, but what about you? Chen Bangzhou, after being the prime minister for so long, do you really think that you have covered the sky with one hand? Forgot who lifted you up back then?" Lei Weiqi sneered.

Chen Bangzhou replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Fortunately, the late emperor favored me."

"Yo, you still remember the first emperor, I thought you had forgotten it a long time ago." Lei Weiqi slowly got up, staring at his prey like a sick tiger, and said word by word: "Then why did you collude with Nantang?" ?”

Chen Bangzhou replied: "The situation is compelling."

Lei Weiqi laughed a few times, "It's in vain that you have dominated the government for so many years. The power of our people in Dachu is still the same as it was 30 or [-] years ago. Is it worthy of a vegetarian meal?"

Chen Bangzhou subconsciously went to drink tea to refresh his mouth, and found that there was no tea beside him, only teacups were placed next to Huang Mengjue's seat.

Huang Mengjue hurriedly handed the teacup to Chen Bangzhou.

Lei Weiqi said: "I heard that a young boy with great martial arts went south with you, what about the others?"

"Drinking tea at the tea stall outside, I should have expected that you didn't prepare tea for him."

Lei Weiqi's face changed when he heard the words, and he snorted heavily, "Prepare tea? It's fine if I didn't whip him with a stick."

"The reputation of that child is not inferior to you and me now." Chen Bangzhou laughed.

"Extraordinary skills, grandstanding, breaking the ban with martial arts, martial arts people have been like this since ancient times." Lei Weiqi knocked on the table vigorously to vent his dissatisfaction.

No words, half an hour.

Lei Weiqi asked: "I heard that His Majesty invited an old man to be an official in the court."

"Jiao Daqian, chief assistant of the cabinet."

Lei Weiqi smiled, "It seems that you are not trusted by His Majesty, probably because you colluded with Nantang. Why bother?"

Chen Bangzhou said: "Everything I do is for Da Chu."

"Me too! Who is not?" Lei Weiqi's voice suddenly raised.

Chen Bangzhou looked at him, "The war in the north is tight. Although we can resist it for a while, it is tantamount to fighting a fire with wages. One day we will be defeated."

"So, you are going to collude with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and want to drive away tigers and wolves?" Lei Weiqi stood up, pointing to the north, "Do you dare to face the late emperor's tomb and tell the late emperor that you are going to Colluding with Southern Tang, colluding with Southern Tang who the late emperor hated most before his death?"

"Several of our old friends died tragically in Nantang. What kind of benefits did Nantang give you so that you can abandon your previous relationship?" Lei Weiqi said loudly.

Chen Bangzhou was expressionless, and said lightly: "The alliance with Nantang is the only strategy to resist Beili."

"Hehe, now you think about dealing with Beili? What did you do in the past few decades?" Lei Weiqi asked.

Chen Bangzhou shook his head with a smile, "I'm not as good as you, one step counts seven, so the late emperor needs the two of us to assist."

"I know how to say it nicely." Lei Weiqi began to drink his tea sullenly.

Chen Bangzhou asked: "Do you hate Nantang so much?"

"Of course! I don't want you, I have a conscience, and I know who gave me everything I have now!" Lei Weiqi shouted.

Chen Bangzhou said to himself: "I hate them too."

"Most of those people back then were executed by the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Those who survived should have lost their heads by now." After Chen Bangzhou finished speaking, he began to drink tea.

Lei Weiqi frowned, "What do you mean?"

After a long while, Chen Bangzhou replied: "The empresses of the Southern Tang Dynasty also hope to join us. On the one hand, they will take precautions to resist Beili, and on the other hand, they will eradicate dissidents and stabilize the throne. This represents their sincerity."

"No wonder." Lei Weiqi seemed to be getting older, looking at the distant sky in a trance.

Outside the mansion.

Jiang Wangsheng watched him smoke one after another, wishing to kill himself, and said sincerely: "Old man, you are in good health."

"I've been smoking for decades."

Jiang Wangsheng played with the wooden teacup, "Stop talking."

The old man looked at him in surprise.

"It must have been smoked for hundreds of years." Jiang Wangsheng patted the old man's chest, "I have accumulated so much filth and disgusting filth."

"The world is getting worse, people's hearts are not old, a kid is so rude." The old man snorted coldly.

Jiang Wangsheng took a sip of tea and said, "Have you killed so many people, but you still say that others are disgusting?"

"Have you killed fewer people?"

Jiang Wangsheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You're right."

Jiang Wangsheng looked at the luxurious house and asked, "Did he send you here?"

"Pie? Humph"

Jiang Wangsheng's face changed, and he asked: "Could it be that he is also from Jueying?"

"No comment."

The two were silent for a long time before Chen Bangzhou and Huang Mengjue came out.

The old man's face slowly sank.

Jiang Wangsheng drank the rest of the tea, slapped the table vigorously, threw some money, "Let's go!"

Jiang Wangsheng greeted Chen Bangzhou and Huang Mengjue.

The old man held a teacup in one hand and a pipe in the other, blood slowly spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he fell headlong.

Chen Bangzhou and Huang Mengjue stared at the dead old man as if facing an enemy.

Jiang Wangsheng took out the tusk beast mask that was broken into two pieces from his sleeve, and threw it on the old man.

Inside the house.

After the two left, Lei Weiqi put on brand new clothes, and reluctantly sealed the former official uniform and medal book in a large box.

He instructed his servants: "Have someone send this box to Qinglu Academy in Tianwang City, remember to keep it carefully."

"Yes, sir."

Lei Weiqi walked around in his mansion, and finally walked to the study.

He looked at the shelf full of classics and histories and the holy books of military strategists, stroked the yellowed military map, and let out a long sigh of relief.

He took out a long sword embellished with gold from the drawer of the desk, and after pulling it out, he gently stroked the blade.

The blade cut through his skin, exposing blood.

"I'm sorry, old friend. This is the first time I have subdued you, and it can only be the last time."

Lei Weiqi leaned on his shoulder with his sword, looked at the direction where Chen Bangzhou was leaving, slayed himself, and died with a smile on his face.
