Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 83 Tantai Snow Girl

The news that Lord Xinling's descendants were alive was passed on to Zhang Er and Chen Yu secretly, and the trip to Daliang was successful.

As for the loopholes in his rhetoric, Lu Wei has no intention of making up for them.

On the one hand, this is because Chu Nan Gong is not easy to find, and he cannot easily turn around and return to Chu State.

On the other hand, the steward is not afraid of being exposed.

After all, Wei Yan, oh no, it should be Ji Yan
It's really in his hands!

The reason why Xiao Yan'er suddenly had his surname changed was that after communicating with truly educated people like Zhang Er, he realized an ignorance he had in the past: royal family members were given names based on male surnames and female surnames.

After Xiao Yan'er became Lord Xinling, according to the royal family of the Wei Dynasty, her surname should be Wei. Since it was stipulated that women should have surnames but not surnames, her real name was Ji Yan.

This kind of mistake must be corrected immediately when he returns to Jicheng. If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct.

Let the news of Ji Yan's life ferment for a few years first, so that when he "takes advantage of the emperor to command the princes" in the future, there will be fewer obstacles to doubt that his identity appeared out of thin air.

Afterwards, Lu Wei made an agreement with Zhang Er and Chen Yu to send people to search for the young master's traces and to contact each other when there was information. Lu Wei drove his horse away from Daliang.

Next, he went to Lord Xinling's fiefdom, performed a full set of performances and worshiped there before preparing to leave Wei and enter Zhao.

At this time, the war situation in Zhao Di was still at a stalemate.

In this war, Qin's southern offensive coerced the Han and Wei armies, and once again struggled with the Zhao army at the Zhang River.

Qin's northern offensive started from Taiyuan and approached Fanwu. It planned to capture Fanwu and then go south to attack Handan Danan from north to south with the southern army.

King Zhao was frightened and developed path dependence, leaving the entire responsibility of defense to Li Mu.

Based on the battlefield situation, Li Mu decided to defend from the south and attack from the north.

Sima Shang was dispatched to rely on fortifications and the natural Zhangshui barrier to deal with the southern Qin, Wei, and Korean coalition forces.

He himself led the main force of the Zhao army northward, launched a fierce attack at Panwu, and defeated the Qin army in the north. Then he turned the army south without stopping, joined forces with Sima Shang, forced back the Qin army in the south, and defeated Qin's attempt to destroy Zhao. One year offensive.

However, although Li Mu performed superbly, he was limited by the weakening of Zhao's national power since the Changping War. After blocking the Qin army several times, he also suffered considerable losses, and it was difficult to organize a long-range pursuit and large-scale counterattack against the Qin army. , can only barely block the enemy within the territory.

After this battle, although the King of Qin was furious, he also understood that Zhao could not be destroyed in a hurry. In comparison, although Han and Wei were loyal, it would be much easier to annex them.
The Qin State re-formulated a unification plan and decisively changed its strategy. Zhao State was finally beaten to a period of peace externally by Li Mu, but external peace did not mean that Zhao State could take a breather and recover its strength.
As for Han Wei, compared with obedience, what can control one's own destiny is strength after all.

When the General Manager entered the State of Zhao, the war was not over yet. Li Mu was on his way north. The crisis in Handan was still unresolved, and the capital was in panic all day long.

Due to the many sufferings, there are not a few peasant disciples in the Zhao Kingdom, but due to too many sufferings, each church has very few branches here.

A war can destroy everything.

Lu Wei and the fourth younger brother of Shanyu Konoha are both from Zhao, but they can no longer find the small mountain village where they lived, and most of their memories of Zhao were lost with the days when they were deserters in their early teens. The country of Yan is in the wind and snow.
To him, Handan is another strange city just like Daliang.

There are quite a few rangers in the city. During this time of war and chaos, the evil in many people's hearts has been aroused and they have begun to do evil.

Lu Wei entered the city late at night with one tael of gold as proof of his innocence. After entering the city, while looking for a place to live, in just three streets, the manager encountered two waves of thieves.

These people focused on Lu Wei when he entered the city. After both waves of people were killed by Lu Wei with a few swords in the trial, other gang organizations hiding in the dark finally understood that this young man was not easy to mess with, and most of them chose to retreat.

However, there are also those who are brave enough to show up and want to earn money from the manager:
"Recently, most of Handan's inns have been closed. The young hero is new to the city and must need a place to stay."

A young man with a gray headscarf tied on his forehead stopped in front of Lu Wei a few meters away.

"We, 'Yueyue'er', have many properties in Handan City, and we have them in almost all kinds of locations."

"Young hero, if you are interested, why not take a look?"

The young man had a playful smile on his face, but Lu Wei could feel the other man's slightly trembling legs, which proved that he was full of fear!
They are just expendable items pushed out by the 'Crescent Moon' organization.

The aggressive gaze made the young man's legs tremble even more violently. For about ten seconds, the manager's face relaxed slightly and his tone was calm: "Do you have any real estate near 'Tantai'?"

"." Upon hearing the question, the young man was stunned for two seconds. After recovering, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Tantai is the top music and dance studio in our Zhao country! The houses there are very popular with literati and wealthy businessmen from all walks of life. We, 'Yueyue'er', have a lot of reserves!"

"In that case, lead the way."

In the past, Tan Tai was at its busiest after dark.

When all the large colorful lanterns with gold sheets are lit up, its light is more dazzling than that of Zhao Wang Palace, making it the largest gold selling cave in the city.

Bright lights, busy traffic, soft red, heavenly palace on earth!
It was prosperous in the past.

Today, there are only a few lights on the Tantan Terrace under the giant structure, which makes it look even bleaker by contrast.

The Qin army is just outside the Zhang River. Once the Qin army breaks through Sima Shang's defense, it will be able to form a siege on Handan Dan in an instant.

The powerful and wealthy businessmen are very worried. They like to have fun, but they cherish their own lives even more.Just imagining the consequences of falling into a war-torn city will make you feel frightened.
No longer interested in listening to music or dancing, they tried their best to get information on the front line.He also packed up his gold and silver, ready to run away from the north gate at any time.

The number of guests has decreased significantly, and the Dantai dancers are also uneasy.At such a young age like theirs, after the city of Handan was destroyed, the ending was even more miserable.
Being so distracted, it is easy to make mistakes while playing the piano.The dancing posture is no longer perfect as before and is full of mistakes.

Even so, no one among the sparse spectators in the audience expressed their opinions.

At this time, the guests who still come to Tantai are either depressed rangers or drunkards who have despaired of the situation.

They had no hope of escaping from Handan, so they spent all their wealth in order to enter the scene, hoping to see the wealth and wealth that originally belonged only to the princes and nobles.

If you don’t understand music, let alone dance, how can you make mistakes?
There were a few aristocratic bastards in the audience who knew something about it. Even if they saw the mistake, they had no intention of pointing it out at this time.

In an ordinary single room behind the scenes of Tantai, the 13-year-old Snow Girl was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at her delicate face, snow-moist skin, and natural white hair in the bronze mirror. She was such a beauty.

She stared in silence for a few seconds, trying hard to smile at the corner of her mouth, and put on red lips for herself. She carried the blue glazed dance clogs on her bare feet, put them on, and exposed her five white and tender toes, as delicate as green bamboo shoots, ready to receive the reception. Come down for the show.

What doesn't match the blue glazed dance clogs is the simple and elegant decoration on her body, which lacks embellishment.

Originally, Yuki-onna, who was just in love, also had a big jewelry box, but last year, in order to redeem herself and buy a wedding dress, she sold everything except herself.

When all those unrealistic fantasies turned into a cold-blooded humiliation, the snow girl who had nothing could only stay on the platform under the strange eyes of her companions.

She knows nothing except music and dancing.

Only music and dancing were worthy of her taking seriously.

"The next song is performed by Xue Ji, Han Yue."

Listening to the feeble shouts of the announcer, the snow girl walked out of the Li Pavilion. Before stepping onto the stage, she was extremely calm, started to dance with joy:
The lithe figure, the long twirling skirt, the fingers like peeling onions, the lingering dust in the air after burning incense, and the clear water in the eyes caught the absent-minded gaze.
Even a rough guy who doesn't know how to cook can judge whether a dish is delicious, and a layman who doesn't know anything about music and dance can naturally judge whose dance is good~

In particular, the difference is even greater when compared to the previous performance, which was completely careless.

Xue Ji, whose reputation spread throughout Handan due to her role as Gongzijia, impressed a wave of ordinary audiences with her step-by-step dance.

The rangers and drunkards all stood up from their seats and marveled at the beautiful figure on the stage: This is the woman who can be favored by the royal family~
The steward also stood up together with the crowd. He unabashedly chose a Tantai residence in Dannan, Handan, because he came here just for the snow girl.

After taking advantage of this opportunity to buy a house at a cheap price, he immediately entered Tantai and waited for several times before the target finally appeared.

Lu Wei originally planned that the teenage girl should be decadent for a period of time after she suffered a humiliation.I was passing by the Kingdom of Zhao and happened to come over to take advantage of the situation and give him a few words of comfort. Thinking about it, I could easily leave a good impression on the snow girl at this age.

In this way, in the future, she went to Yan State to establish Feixue Pavilion, and appeared again when Yan Chunjun was pressing her. By then, it would be much more convenient for those who wanted to get Snow Girl and her wealth.

But now from the stage, Xue Nu does not need any relief, she can regain her confidence and continue to show the brilliance of Zhao Wu.

This time, Mr. Steward, the plan seemed to have failed before it even started.

Huairou is not good, and he cannot really impress the snow girl like Gao Jianli in the original work. In this case, robbery may be easier.
The snow girl became calmer and calmer as she danced. Although she was smiling gently on her face, her heart was getting colder.

From that day on, the audience, as well as the attendants, musicians, and all the men in the tandai, all looked the same in the eyes of the snow girl: roughly human-shaped, able to spit out gold coins, and the ultimate goal of looking at her was to take off her clothes when she got close.
If there were any exceptions, they might be blind people or children.

After the dance was over, the snow girl crossed her long silk ribbons, and the unnoticed coldness in her eyes faded away, and she slowly retreated.

The guests exclaimed that they wanted to play another song, and the waiter looked at this group of low-status audience with disdain: If the war had not come and the real nobles were not allowed to come here, how could they let you in and insult this superior palace!

"Xue Ji has finished dancing. In the next performance, Yu Ji will play music: Lady"

Hitting the high note of the chime, the boy continued shouting.

Before the next performance started, Lu Wei exited the platform and returned to his newly purchased house.

A three-story building with elegant interiors.

According to the young man with the gray turban, the price of this house is only one-third of the normal price. Although it is cheap, it is quite risky.

As soon as the Qin army enters the city, it is hard to say whether the small building can be saved because this place is very close to Tantai and does not look like a civilian residence.

However, Lu Wei knew that Zhao would not be destroyed until Li Mu was punished.This year is not the time for Qin to destroy Zhao, so he can make a small profit by buying this house now and selling it when the war is beneficial to Zhao.

Luck circulated a circle of internal force, pushing the initially effective Five Virtues Rejuvenation Technique a small step deeper. When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.

After not sleeping all night and not feeling tired, the steward opened the small window on the third floor and looked at the sandalwood platform in his sight, feeling revitalized in his heart.

In Handan City, due to his limited understanding, he only cared about the Snow Girl. If he zoomed in on the entire Zhao Kingdom, there would be another Li Mu.

Now that Li Mu is leading the army, he will definitely not be seen.The snow girl is deep in the sand platform. She is not enough, so she can only be seen on the stage.

Compared with Daliang and his entourage, the trip to Handanquan was fruitless.

Lu Wei rarely encounters situations like this where he has absolutely no conditions to achieve his goals. In this case, he can only work hard to create conditions!
