Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 104 You Have the Way of Death

The total number of people attending Li Mu's banquet was about ten.

Among them, in addition to Wu Anjun himself and Lu Wei, there were also several minors in the house, and even the little cavalry who accompanied the hall master from the Zhao Wei border to Handan Dan.

He waved to Lu Wei without flinching.

Throughout the banquet, although most of the people met Hall Master Lu for the first time, they were able to talk freely as both parties were willing to cooperate with each other.

These soldiers spoke boldly and without mincing words, and the banquet was very lively.

Before the banquet, Li Mu once said meaningfully, "There are still matters that need to be entrusted to the farmer."Judging from the passage of time and the content of the banquet chat, he had no intention of revealing this important matter during the meal.

After thinking about it, Lu Wei realized that the help that the peasant family could offer to this Wu'an Junqi was really limited. What's more, the time in the Six Kingdoms was already very tight.
Next year, a country will perish.

After the banquet, under the dim moonlight, Li Mu invited Hall Master Lu to a private room.

"Hall Master Lu, are you having fun tonight?"

Li Mu's hair and beard are black, but if you look closely, you can find a lot of white hair hidden under the black. Although Zhao has won all the wars with Qin in the past few years, this 'God of Military Formation' Upset and confused.

"I heard that Mr. Wu An also has a straightforward temper. I wonder what you meant by 'asking for help' before the banquet?"

Lu Wei showed no politeness and laid out the problem openly. The person in front of him was not just an ordinary general marching and fighting on the battlefield. He could vaguely sense that the opponent's internal martial arts strength was not weak at all!
It can even be called very strong!
"Okay, the hall master is so cheerful, so I will speak frankly." Li Mu sat down calmly, and then his whole aura suddenly changed. The sound of fighting and iron horses seemed to be vivid in his mind: "Hall Master Lu came from Qi State Come here, you should also see what happened to the people of Wei along the way."

"This year is really not a good year. There was an earthquake in Daichi and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced. This is no less than the loss caused by a bloody war."

"The signs of drought have made this disaster worse. Zhao's harvest has dropped a lot this year, and most of the remaining grain is used to prepare for military use to prevent the Qin army from taking advantage of the situation."

"The State of Zhao ignored Dai Di, not because he was unwilling, but because he was unable."

As Li Mu spoke, he stood up and walked to the corner of the room, picked up his Zhenyue Sword, pulled it out halfway, stared at the inscription on it, and quickly inserted it back in. This movement made a sharp sword sound:

"According to the observations of the Imperial Guard and past experience, this year is not a minor drought, but during the farming season next year, the severe drought is very likely to continue!"

"Not only did we anticipate this, the Qin spies may have also reported the situation in Zhao back to Xianyang."

"Your Majesty, the farmer can't help you with this matter."

Hall Master Lu, who had read some farm books, was not academically proficient, but he had some superficial understanding of drought trends and understood that what Li Mu said was very likely to happen.

Therefore, even if the country of Zhao has suffered enough this year, more difficult days are yet to come.
"Mu is grateful to the farmers for sending life-saving supplies during this devastating disaster."

Li Mu turned around and sat down next to Lu Wei step by step. His eyes were full of sincerity: "I also know that relying on the power of farmers alone cannot fully solve Zhao's worries, but if farmers are willing to help, they can alleviate the disaster in Zhao. .”

"What does Mr. Wu An mean?"

"The disaster itself is not terrible, but the man-made disaster caused by the disaster is the most deadly."

"The people of Zhao State have experienced successive wars and have been displaced. Large areas of land are deserted and uncultivated. If the farmers are willing, I can give these wastelands to the farmers."

Li Mu slapped the Zhenyue Sword on the table and pushed it in front of Lu Wei: "Farmer disciples are among the best in the world at farming techniques. Under the hands of farmers, these wastelands will surely be full of life again."

This Lord Wu'an wants farmers to farm the land for him!

"Your Majesty, you just said that there will be a severe drought in Zhaoguo next year."

Lu Wei shook his head solemnly.

"I know, but the food that the farmers will collect in the future only needs to be used to supply the Zhao army. The soldiers cannot be unable to fight due to hunger."

"As for the people."

Li Mu sighed, skipped the topic and added: "Every farmer disciple who works for Zhao Jun. I can also pay some monetary rewards and send soldiers to protect them. They will not be disturbed in any way."

"If Hall Master Lu is willing to help, I can leave this sword in the hands of Hall Master for safekeeping. In the future, Hall Master will take charge of this sword, and Mu will do his best to repay you."

Taking the Zhenyue Sword, Lu Wei left Wu'an Jun's Mansion.

He had some thoughts about this matter, but if he wanted to complete Li Mu's commission, the hall master had to report the matter to Xia Kuai Tian Guang.

If Xiakui agrees to use the strength of the six halls to support him, and each hall sends out some disciples, part of the request can be met.

But Tian Guang has always been reluctant to let the entire farm family show any signs of being on the opposite side of Qin. Lu Wei doesn't know how he will make a decision on this matter.

Should he help Zhao and make it more difficult for Qin to attack, or should he hide in Daze Mountain and just be safe?
He returned to Zhao Yi's Mansion. After a stick of incense, a messenger disciple walked out of the mansion and rushed to the direction of Jicheng overnight.
"Lord Xiangguo, General Li Mu has exposed his flaws."

Zhao Xiangguo Mansion.

Guo Kai, who was admiring the moon and drinking tea late at night, received a report from the spies:

"He didn't make any report, so he contacted the farmers in Qi State and transported supplies to the agency."

"This is malicious disaster relief!" "Tonight, Li Mu hosted a banquet for the farmer's hall master, and talked in secret for more than an hour, and he already committed an act of rebellion."

"Look, is it okay at the meeting tomorrow?"

"There's no rush." ​​Guo Kaiyun said calmly and contentedly: "Help him handle this matter so that he can sell it at a better price in the future."

"The king has no murderous intention now. If such news is reported now, it will not achieve the best effect~"

"Collect the evidence first."

"My subordinate understands!"

While waiting for Tian Guang's reply, Lu Wei and Zhao Yi hooked up again.The relationship between the two recovered quickly. After learning that Lu Wei was here to provide disaster relief in Daidi, 'Little Pingyuanjun' also wanted to donate some assets and send them to Daidi together.

This idea was decisively rejected by Lu Wei and asked him to continue to befriend Zhao Cong and not to arouse Guo Kai's resentment.

With the Zhenyue Sword in hand, even if Xiakui doesn't agree to aid Zhao, the worst he can do is transfer some disciples from Luqiu Pavilion, borrow or buy some grain from Shennong Hall and Siyue Hall, and send them to Li Mu's army next year. The friendship has arrived.

In this way, as long as Li Mu can be saved at the critical moment, his request to join the farm will not be rejected!

As for the fact that Qin may hold a grudge because of this, the worst possible outcome is to give Qin some benefits in other areas and submit.

Where can there be eternal enemies? Compared with the forces of the six countries, the various schools of thought currently see no threat.
In the following month, Lu Wei visited Wu'an Jun's house twice more and got along well with his future general.

Until a Tian clan member came from Jicheng.

"Hall Master Lu, I will take over the cooperation negotiations with Lord Wu An. I hope you can return to Yan Kingdom as soon as possible."

Tian Du, who was dressed in a suit that perfectly matched the iconic ranger appearance, bowed his hands and showed him the Tian Guang warrant.

"Has something happened in Jicheng?" After receiving the order and checking Tian Guang's special contact code on the back, Lu Wei did not feel angry that he had been robbed of his credit.

Xia Kui may have his own ideas, however.
His and Tian Guang's plans for Li Mu were not playing the same game after all!

"The reason why accidents are called accidents is because they are uncontrollable."

Tian Du looked at the young man's handsome face, secretly suppressed a trace of hostility in his heart, and only spoke to him as a normal farm brother.

"Brother Tiandu is right~" Putting away the warrant that had been checked correctly, Lu Wei smiled lightly: "I will take you to visit Mr. Wu'an at his residence, and then return to Jicheng!"

"Thank you, Hall Master Lu." Tian Du saluted with his hands and fists again.

------

Snow is common in Jicheng at the end of November.

In this season of light snow, it is a wonderful thing to go to Feixue Pavilion and watch Miss Xue Ji dance.

This month's Feixueyuhuatai performance, admission was sold for a hundred gold, which made ordinary people stunned.

But all the powerful people know that next month is the end of the year, and when Feixueyuhuatai performs, the price will only be higher. If you don't watch it this time, you won't have to watch it this year.

With an elegant smile, she stepped onto the steps of Feixue Pavilion after the guard confirmed her qualifications. When she looked away from the envious gazes of those passing by the door, the powerful man raised his head with disdain, showing his pride.

This is the superiority that comes from having superior power~
In the Feixue Pavilion Performance Hall, the white jade stage in the center of the pool has been prepared, quietly waiting for its owner to step on it.

The accompanist and musicians were isolated in the corner by semi-transparent gauze.Before the official performance began, light music filled the entire hall from all directions.

Backstage, the snow girl who was about to perform on stage stared at the jade flute in front of her in a daze, feeling irritated and frowning.

It had been almost a year since she had skipped Lingbo Feiyan, and she was extremely depressed.

In early October, Handan Dannan received a letter from Hall Master Lu. At that time, she knew that Lord Lu would probably come back before the end of the year, so her mood eased slightly.

I have to perform on stage today, but I still have to dance those tasteless and vulgar dances in front of those greedy and powerful people.
The snow girl couldn't help but want to dance with her sword to vent her anger. Then she turned around and looked at the price list of tickets received by Feixue Pavilion today. She felt better: for being able to collect so much gold, the hall master will definitely reward her when he comes back~

Raising her hands to put on a headdress and silver bracelet, the Snow Girl is ready to take the stage.
"I heard that the Snow Concubine in Concubine Snow Pavilion is born with a strange and beautiful appearance. She is also a rare white-haired woman. Does she match this Xinxue?"

In Lord Yanchun's Mansion, Lord Yanchun, who was a little fatter, sat on the sedan chair and asked the kneeling butler.

"Exactly." The butler was extremely flattering: "For a year, this concubine Xue Ge has captured the minds of the powerful people in Jicheng, but no one can win her as a guest. Come to think of it, only your Majesty can do this. Qualifications.”

"Hahaha, I personally appreciated the taste of Zhao Wu at Dantantan Terrace in Handan many years ago. I have nothing to do today. Since this Xue Ji is so famous, let's go and have a look!"

"Get up the sedan!" Hearing what Yan Chunjun said, the leading guard immediately understood and lifted the sedan smoothly towards the east area of ​​the city.

Jueying, who was left at the end, knew that Yan Chunjun was going to Feixue Pavilion, so he had no reason to stop him and just followed the sedan team.

But secretly, the corner of his mouth curled up into a sinister smile.
