Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 123 Meeting Talent in the Bustling City
South Korea was unable to stop the Qin army from crossing the river on the banks of the Yellow River. In the subsequent field battles, it was defeated thousands of miles away. The Qin army was directed towards Xinzheng.

The pace of world unification will enter a new stage with the imminent fall of Xinzheng.

The Qin army's attack on South Korea could only be regarded as a side dish. Those real military generals such as Wang Jian did not appear on the battlefield.Because their next target is Zhao State, which has defeated Qin State in a row in the past few years.

That is an opponent worthy of attention.

The good news is that the Qin State's losses in attacking South Korea were not large, while the Zhao State has experienced major earthquakes and nationwide droughts in the past two years, which can be said to have been very painful.

The gap in national power between the two countries has widened again.
It only takes a few months for the Korean territory to be initially digested, and then the troops can be transferred and the attack on Zhao can be carried out again.

It would take some time for the news from Korea to spread to other countries. In Wei Daliang City, the master of the hall who had been practicing all afternoon was shocked to learn the news that Wei Bao was killed by Chen Sheng in the evening.
"The younger brother of Lord Ningling and the son of the Wei royal family, who is extremely talented in martial arts, had his whole head beaten to pieces by Juque in the street."

Ziwu sighed: Wei Bao also fought against him. Although he has a bad temper, but in comparison, among the colorful and powerful people in the Seven Kingdoms, Wei Bao belongs to a pretty good rank, at least he is a human being.

"Wei Bao is actually dead." There was a strange light in Lu Wei's eyes. How could Wei Bao live a few years longer than Chen Sheng in normal development? How could he be killed now?I was not involved in the battle during the day, so what was the reason for the change in the historical line?
What Hall Master Lu never expected was that it was precisely because he defeated Zhou Shi on the fifth floor of the sword hall last night that Wei Bao, who was secretly watching the battle, became interested in the farmer's family.

Therefore, at night, Wei Bao deliberately looked through the important farm events recorded in Wei State and looked up the list of farm masters.

Of course Wei Bao would be deeply impressed by the owner of a famous sword like 'The World's Supreme', even if he was expelled from his farm a few years ago.

I happened to meet you during the day today, and I shouted out the word "traitor" casually. He shouted happily, but Chen Sheng has no intention of joking with you now. If you make him angry, he really dares to kill anyone.

So, the second King of Wei who would later restore the Six Kingdoms died!
In the original time and space, how could Wei Bao, the Duke of Wei, have the mind to pay attention to the trivial matters of farmers in the borders of Qi State.

Puzzled for a hundred times, Lu Wei just silently recorded the matter in his mind.

As you move back and forth between the seven kingdoms, there is always the possibility that everything in the world will change. The deeper your integration with this world, the more changes there will be.

Nongjia, Yan State, and Zhao State are all different from the original time and space, and Wei State can naturally change as well.

The leader of the hall is confident that he is no longer the pitiful and helpless person he was six years ago. He is now capable enough to cope with these changes, and even sometimes he himself actively pursues changes.

Wei Bao's death was not serious, he was not a very important person.Some people's death is more important than their lives, and most people's death is not important.
"Not only did people die, but the Snake Sword was also chopped off by the giant tower. It's a pity." Ziwu wandered around in various taverns in the afternoon, making friends with rangers for a sword competition. On the way, he found out a lot of additional news:

"Zhou Shi wanted to save people, but he was also severely injured. Later, the masters of the armored sect, the palace masters, and the guards came and caught the giant man. It is said that he was put on death row and could be sentenced to death without trial."

"Ning Lingjun has to deal with the death of his younger brother today, and also with the matter of his sister robbing a man in the street. It is said that a ranger saw him coming back from the palace haggard in the evening."

Seeing Ziwu reading the gossip in a serious manner, the hall master didn't pay much attention: If it weren't for Wei Bao's death, or the robbery of a common man, it was just a daily routine for the powerful, and there was nothing worth spreading.

During the three-day curfew in Daliang City, the planned trip to visit Zuimenglou had to be temporarily cancelled.After three days of curfew, the news that the Korean front line was defeated and that the Qin army was approaching Xinzheng reached the city, which immediately caused a new wave of sensation.

Everyone knows that South Korea is going to die.

Now there is only one country left that Lu Wei has never been to.In the near future, this one will automatically approach him.

In Zhao State, when Li Mu learned this information, he was discussing strategies to save food with the generals in the military accounts. After the soldiers on the front line reported to retreat, the generals all looked embarrassed, but Li Mu's expression remained unchanged and continued to be interrupted. topics to discuss.

When the generals saw that Lord Wu An was so calm, they all felt comforted: after Korea was destroyed, Qin's next target was either Zhao or Wei. Zhao had been suffering from no war in the past two years, and its national strength was greatly damaged, and the Qin army was greatly weakened. The probability will come again.
But with Lord Wu An here, the State of Zhao can survive as tenaciously as the previous times!If the Qin army comes, they will be defeated!

Of course, Li Mu was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, but he understood what the head coach of an army or even a country should do when!

The State of Zhao is now in unprecedented weakness. The weather is not right and the geographical location is not favorable, so it requires "people and people" to forcibly withstand it.

"We have a bad relationship with Yanqi, and we can't even buy food from outside. I have to discuss it with the farmers."

In the Kingdom of Yan, the palace did not know how to react to the news that South Korea was in danger. Yan Dan, who had learned the news from the Mo family more than a day earlier, was extremely upset.

First, something happened to the Mo family. The Six-fingered Black Man was very likely to fail in breaking through the forbidden area and died, leaving the position of the Mohist giant vacant.

Now South Korea is about to perish, and Zhao is also aware of the critical situation.

Yan Dan wants to help Zhao, but now Yan and Zhao are truly in a state of despair.Once Zhao dies, Yan will face the Qin army!

Even if they cannot send troops to help, they must at least transport more food to Zhao so that they can fight the Qin army without any worries.

But on this point, his father, King Yan, strictly prohibited it: Qin and Zhao have almost become enemies with each other in recent years, and aiding Zhao will give Qin an excuse to destroy Yan in the future!

Snapped!Thinking of this, Yan Dan slapped the table angrily: He knew the character of Qin Wangzheng. No matter whether Yan was docile or not, Qin would never stop!

The example of South Korea is clearly right in front of us: South Korea is extremely well-behaved to the Qin State, but it still cannot escape the imminent destruction of the country. If the Yan State learns from South Korea, it will only follow in their footsteps!

"I can't sit still and wait for death, I must take the initiative to seek change!"

Yan Dan stood up and as soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw his wife, Yan Yun, coming with ginseng soup:

"Your Highness, do you want to go out?"

"Yes." There was a hint of gentleness in his eyes: "You are pregnant. Please stay at home and have a good rest during this period. I will travel far away for a while."

"Yes, I accept your orders." After watching Yan Dan finish the ginseng soup in one gulp and strode out of the mansion, Yan Yun didn't know who he was performing for, so he suddenly bowed and saluted.
Arriving at the Mohist stronghold in Jicheng, two commanders, Jing Ke and Daozhi, were both there: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Don't call me Your Highness from now on. I came here today to use the Suzaku trap!" Yan Dan said simply. "Does your Highness want it?" Jing Ke was confused.

"I'm going to the government city, break into the Mohist forbidden area, and retrieve the Mohist giant's token: Mo Mei!"

"According to the rules of the Mohist family, the current situation is: the tycoon is lost and the token is lost in the forbidden area. Any disciple who can break through the forbidden area and retrieve Mo Mei can become a tycoon of the Mohist family."

Yan Dan made a fist with his hand: "I'm going to give it a try!"

"There are many institutions in the Mo family's forbidden area, and the identity of His Highness the Crown Prince." Thief Zhi was about to dissuade him, but was forcibly interrupted: "I said, there is no prince now, only Yan Dan, a disciple of the Moh family."

"The Mo family has been without a master for a long time. As time goes by, it will soon become divided. And the violent Qin is about to destroy Han and annex Zhao. Whether for the Yan country or for the people of the world, I will become this giant!"

"Only in this way can I use all the strength of the Mohist family to fight against the Qin State. For the sake of the people of the world, I can avoid the suffering of tyranny!"

"After Yan State's organ, the Suzaku, was ridden away by a giant a few months ago, it was only recently that Master Ban transferred another Suzaku. He should still be at the base outside the city now." Jing Ke looked at Yan Dan's determined eyes and made many choices in his mind. Finally, I chose to tell him the news.

"Thank you, brother Jingke. Time does not wait for me. I will leave the city immediately. I hope that brother Jingke can tell the Grand Tutor Ju Wu the news for me tomorrow."

"We will fulfill our mission." Jing Ke clasped his fists and watched Yan Dan leave.

"Xiao Ke, you do this." Thief Zhi walked over and closed the door that the other party had no time to close. His tone was no longer as confident as the king of thieves: "It would be a trouble for Prince Dan to die in the forbidden area, and it would be even more trouble if he didn't die. trouble."

"Do you really think he is suitable to be the leader of our Mo family?"

"If you care, you can also break into the forbidden area~" Jing Ke held his sword in his arms, lay down on the bed, and pretended to sleep: "Any Mohist disciple who has broken through the forbidden area and can bring out Mo Mei will have Being qualified to become a giant is the breaking point in the current dispute."

"What's more, the war launched by the Qin State today is extremely unjust according to the rules of the ancestors. On this point, the Mo family has no problem supporting Prince Dan."

When it came to Mohist teachings, Daozhi shut up. Although he usually knew how to be flexible, there were strict limits on what was changeable and what was not.

"Forget it, the current situation cannot get any worse."

The news from South Korea made Lu Wei no longer have any thoughts of going to Zuimenglou to fight openly and covertly with the Huaying girl from Chu State. He asked Xue Nu to take Lu Ni there to solve the problem himself, and then he was alone on the streets of Daliang chasing shadows.

Xue Nu has rich experience in internal fighting in the dance pavilion, but her temper is a bit arrogant. With Lu Ni as a guarantee of force, she will definitely get satisfactory results from this trip.

Including the three-day curfew, the Xinling Temple is almost dry. I can take Ji Yan with me to have a good chat with Zhang Er tomorrow.

While walking, a sudden intense gaze aroused the hall master's vigilance.

The owner who was watching didn't seem to know how to hide himself. Instead, he pretended to be drunk and staggered along the flow of people as he approached Lu Wei.

He was a middle-aged man of about 40 years old, with a long black beard on his chin occasionally showing some white strands.From the frivolous movements of his feet, it can be seen that this person is indeed a little drunk, and it can also be seen that this person probably has no internal strength.

The middle-aged man was holding a gourd wine flask in his hand, with the lid open and his wrist muscles tense, as if he wanted to spill the wine on Lu Wei.

My clothes are quite expensive, but I can't let them be soaked in bad wine.

The moment the two were about to meet in the crowd, the other party had not yet made a move. The master of the hall was the first to hold the wine bottle in his hand: "Be careful, don't spill it!"

At the moment of these words, Lu Wei and the man's eyes met: from the calm look lurking in his cloudy eyes, he knew that this middle-aged man was not an ordinary person:
This does not refer to martial arts, but to knowledge.

In this era, it is possible for a fool to master powerful martial arts if he works hard enough, but knowledge is not so easy to gain.
In general, since the other person was not an ordinary person, he also saw something in Hall Master Lu's eyes.

"I won't be more than forty next year, so I can't be called my father-in-law."

The middle-aged man smiled freely, bowed long to Lu Wei and said:
"I accidentally bumped into Hall Master Lu Weilu. I'm really frightened. I wonder if Hall Master would like to treat me to a glass of wine to calm my shock?"

"The harp, harp, harp, and harp are harmonious and exquisite." The master of the hall smiled slightly: "I have a drink with the intention of enjoying the guests."

"You should understand that my wine is not that delicious~"

Hearing the other party's response with a sentence from Xiaoya in the Book of Songs, the middle-aged man's face lit up: "I am a Confucian disciple, and I am best at drinking 'unpalatable' wine."

"Please come with me~"

In the nearest restaurant, Lu Wei bought three kinds of precious wines with different flavors, paired them with special dishes, and sat across from the man:

"After this first glass of wine, you must tell me your name."

Using internal energy to pour wine remotely, this operation surprised the middle-aged man who had no knowledge of martial arts. He picked up the wine glass, saluted the master of the hall first, and then raised his head to cover his face and drank it all:
"I am Li Shiqi, Chenliu, a native of Gaoyang. He once studied at Xiaoshengxian Village. After achieving nothing, he returned to Wei State and tried to seek opportunities in Daliang City."

Ignore the other person's words of 'nothing will be accomplished'.Although this is indeed true, the name "Li Shiqi" alone makes the hall master pleasantly surprised. The other party is an absolutely usable talent.

"For this second glass of wine, Li Sheng should tell me how he met me."

The same operation was performed, but with a brand new wine glass, Lu Wei continued to pour wine for the other party:

Li Shiqi, who is famous in history, was a talented person with obvious advantages and disadvantages.His wisdom may not be as good as Lu Qing's in governing affairs, but letting Li Shiqi engage in diplomacy is a perfect fit!
Moreover, how the other party recognized him made him really curious.
