Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 152 Jing Ke and Nie
His feet were swaying, and his deft sword thrust and thrust showed no mercy. Gao Jianli was clearly prepared for this day.

He took off the outer robe of the violinist's uniform, and wore a suit of powerful clothing specially prepared in advance. His sword energy was sharp and delicate, a style of rapier style.

Lu Wei has encountered many opponents like this, and the Frightening Salamander Sword is such a sword, so he is very familiar with the possible directions of rapier sword moves.

Although Gao Jianli's strength has improved rapidly over the years, especially from a few sword moves that are extremely sophisticated but still lack polish, it can be seen that this violinist, who is slightly more famous than Hall Master Lu in the world, has made a breakthrough in the past month.

It must have been Yi Shui's emotional farewell, but unfortunately the sword in his hand was not Shui Han.

Lu Wei easily blocked another attack from his opponent, and used Gao Jianli's dazzling sword moves in the Youdie Sword Technique to attack Maimang.

The move of "walking through flowers and attracting butterflies" has a sense of "whale playing in the water" when used with the Sea-Swallowing Sword, but you must not underestimate the power of the whale's seemingly slow tail lashing the sea!
This is just a friendly match, and the hall master will not rely on his deep inner energy and the advantages of swallowing the sea sword to bully his opponents. However, despite this, the difference in strength between Gao Jianli and him at this time is really too big.

Even if he gets the Shuihan Sword in the future and uses the sword to understand and refine 'Yi Shuihan', he will still be unable to defeat Lu Wei today.

After mentally guessing that Master Gao Qin had used all the sword moves he was good at, the Swallowing Sea Sword used a move of 'Flower Beard and Butterfly Light' to easily bypass the obstacles of the opponent's sword moves and point it within an inch of the opponent's throat.

One hand clenched his fist behind his back and the other raised his sword to his throat. Lu Wei turned sideways and smiled. After the scene was quiet for three breaths, he sheathed his sword and turned to the stone table on the side of the court to pick up the still warm tea and take a slow sip of it.

"Brother Lu came to Jicheng for the upcoming war?"

Gao Jianli stood there and reflected on his defeat for a while, then came to sit across from the stone table and asked with concern.

He is no longer the simple piano player who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests to speculate on music in the past. He has become a Mohist leader who His Highness Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom values ​​​​and cultivates.

Moreover, he also received an official position in the Yan army, and could even be called a general.

This is exactly the seed that Lu Wei once planted with great intention, and it has come to fruition.

The master of the hall was kind to Gao Jianli for saving his life, and for giving him two musical instruments. In addition, he was kind for recommending him to go to Qin to find Kuang Xiu's confidant. The kindness was so great that even letting him commit suicide was not an outrageous request.

This luthier has a cold temperament and an inner affection. Now he has become a qualified chess piece that can influence the decisions of the Mohist family's top management.

However, Weiwei is still a little worse now and still needs more watering.That's why Lu Wei, who came to Jicheng, asked the farmer's disciple to invite him to Luqiu Pavilion to compete with each other and deepen their friendship.

As expected, Gao Jianli came here alone.

"No." Lu Wei shook his head: "All matters in the farmhouse must be obeyed by the commander-in-chief. Before the commander-in-chief gives an order, the disciples of the farmhouse will not act rashly."

"Why didn't Brother Lu persuade Tian Guang Xiakui to participate in this righteous act in the world?"

Gao Jianli said this without any special instructions from anyone. His experience in the past few years has really completely plunged him into the anti-Qin cause.

"Xiao Gao, Menong's teachings are different, so I have never invited you to join the farmer's family."

Hall Master Lu said something like a riddle, which made Gao Jianli, who had once again put on the robe of a piano master, a little confused. However, he remembered Lu Wei's kindness to him in the past.
In the ensuing chat, the two recalled several stories from the past, without mentioning the current situation in the world.To be honest, although Gao Jianli is not stupid, he is actually just a small boat floating with the waves on this rough sea.Like most people, he cannot see many big trends.

After meeting with Gao Jianli, the master of the hall was ready to go south immediately.Even though it was not long before the New Year, he had no intention of staying in Jicheng for a few more days and setting off again after the New Year.

Time is getting tighter and tighter. If you are less lazy for a few days, you will be more prepared than others when encountering difficulties.

Lu Wei has two goals for the next year: to go to Chu and Shu, and to become famous.

Although Hall Master Lu has made friends with many famous people over the years, and with his simplicity and innocence, these big people have no ill feelings towards him.But the ordinary rangers in the world still don't know enough about the Hall Master.

Lu Wei didn't ask for much during this trip to become famous. It would be considered a success if his name could be heard by most people in the world.

There is no need to be too sharp, nor too obscure.The master of the hall decided to use sword fighting to achieve this goal of becoming famous.

From Yan State to Chu State, it basically covers the entire Central Plains region. Fight all the way and strive for a hundred consecutive victories!
If fame is regarded as a side mission in one's own layout, then going to Chu and Shu is the main mission.

Chu State is a vassal state with great influence, and the master of the hall has always regarded Chu land as a key area.

However, he has never established a Gonggongtang branch in the Chu region, and his original preparations in the Chu region have always focused on the Xiang family.

It's just that in recent years, Lu Wei has never been to Chu to do business again. In addition, the horse trade between Lu Qiuge and the Xiang family has also declined greatly, which has made his relationship with the Xiang family fade away.

Moreover, because Lu Wei often traveled between the four kingdoms of Qi, Yan, Zhao, and Wei, his personal correspondence with Xiang Bo was greatly reduced.

It is necessary to go to Chu to deepen the connection with the Xiang family.As for the operation of cultivating power in Chu State, the hall leader feels that he does not need to do it at the moment.

If we expand in the Chu area now, we will definitely come into contact with Lord Changping to some extent. This person will be the last king of Chu in the future.Lu Wei did not want to be directly involved with the living Lord Changping at all.

But the dead Changping Lord, in his name, Lu Wei was willing to eat it.

In short, I just want to get benefits and don’t want to pay anything.

In Changpingjun's legacy, excluding those invisible values, the most direct benefits are the two generals Yingbu and Jibu.

He already has Li Mu and the three little ones he trained by himself. In addition to Han Xin, who must be obtained in the future, he is a top-notch commander, but there is still something missing in the vanguard general.

General Jibu Zhi and Yingbu Yongjiang are both of high value.Of course, such a rare military talent must join Gonggongtang in order not to bury their talents!On the other hand, the Zhu family's Shennongtang is now doing a good job in Chu Di. After Hall Master Lu succeeds to Xiakui, the results of Shennongtang will naturally be under his control, and then people can be sent to pick peaches directly.

Making friends with the Xiang family, observing the power of Shennongtang in Chu, and preparing for the capture of the descendants of Lord Changping in the future were what Lu Wei planned to do in Chu.

It is not difficult to do this when you know the general trend of the world in advance, but each item must be done by Lu Wei himself.

After waiting for the trip to Chu, it is somewhat important but not necessary to go to Shu to make connections in advance.

The territory of Shu has been nominally included in the territory of the Qin State. However, due to the dangerous roads, Bashu has always had poor communication with the outside world. The indigenous people in the local mountains and forests still have a high degree of autonomy.

The power of Shushan is the local snake in Shu, and has a special relationship with the Yin and Yang family, which is separated from Taoism.

In comparison, the value of Shu is far from that of the Central Plains.After the world is in chaos, it is difficult to receive feedback and respond in that isolated place.

However, their Yu Yuan guards and Yu Yuan seals allowed the Yin and Yang family to specifically persuade the King of Qin to send Meng Tian to send troops to attack and seize it, and also snatch the Fusang sacred tree and transport it to the mirage. The secret must be interesting.

"There are secret recipes for immortality in the three fairy mountains overseas."

Reciting the rhetoric that the Immortal Family has always insisted on, Lu Wei remembered that the head of the Immortal Family disappeared without reason a few years ago. It was most likely that the Yin Yang Family took action.

It's a pity that the Moon God is unknown, otherwise he could have exchanged benefits for some information before entering Shu.This woman always comes to find him, but he can't find her whereabouts.

After Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang arrived in Xianyang, they submitted the letter of credence written by Yan Dan himself, but the result was like a stone dropped into the sea, with no response.

The two of them were feeling anxious, but they had no choice but to settle down in the capital of another country.

One day, Qin Wuyang bought a fish from the market.Cut open the belly of the fish, and the gray and white cloth that was tightly waterproofed inside rolled out.
Surprisingly, they called Jing Ke to check. The words "Meng Jia, the concubine" written on it made them immediately understand: This is the internal help of the Qin State that Prince Dan told them before setting off!

"I'm going to find out what Meng Jia is like!"

Qin Wuyang immediately ran out of the house, but soon the footsteps came back again.

Jing Ke's ears twitched, and Can Hong's movements of cutting fish stopped. He turned around and saw that the person coming was indeed the person he least wanted to see in Xianyang City:

Gai Nie.

"You shouldn't have come."

The descendant of Guigu Zongjian stood at the door of the kitchen without stepping in.

"You shouldn't have come."

Jing Ke smiled and turned around to continue cutting the fish. His swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and the power of the residual rainbow did not damage the chopping board at all.

"It's a dead end."

Gai Nie stared at Jing Ke's back. In front of him, this was the only person he could call his friend: "If you change your mind now, I can still return to your world."

"My Jianghu is dead, and so is the knight-errant Jing Ke."

Jing Ke put the cut fish pieces into the pot, skillfully added water to cover the soup and said, "Are you going to report me to your king?"

"You are now an envoy of the State of Yan. I have no reason to report you."

Gai Nie pinched the sword with his right hand and exerted slight force: "But if an assassin from Yan appears in the palace hall, I will stop him."

"Then before that, come have another drink with me~"

Jing Ke casually threw the Canhong Sword aside, took off the wine gourd from his waist, filled his mouth with tons of wine, and threw it out the door.

Gai Nie raised his hand and took it, looking down at it carefully: "You still keep this wine gourd after all these years."

"Now I'll give it to you." Jing Ke raised his head and slurred a few times. After swallowing the wine, he smiled comfortably, walked out of the kitchen and squatted at the doorstep: "In return, do me a favor~"

"Please say."

Gai Nie remained standing, his face as serious as ever.

"Can you leave Xianyang for three months~"

"No."

"It's so easy~" Jing Ke was not surprised. He held his chin with one hand and laughed again: "Then look for my child for me."

He closed his eyes facing the direction of the sun and lowered his voice: "I hope his or her name is Tianming."
