Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 87
As the commander-in-chief of the Zhangshui defense line, Sima Shang was under great pressure.He may only sleep for more than an hour every day, and his brain has to process all the information on the entire front, which is extremely painful.

Although the State of Zhao is large, there is Han Danran behind them, and there is no way to retreat.

The enemy must be blocked at Zhangshui, otherwise, once the Qin flag appears outside the capital, there will be chaos in the city.

Li Mu told him before leaving: As long as he delays for time, Mu can return with victory!

Sima Shang firmly believes in this, and it is precisely with this belief that he can stick to it to this day.

After all, since becoming famous, Wu'an Lord Li Mu, like another Wu'an Lord, has never lost!

Tiger and Wolf Qin defeated Zhao, but never defeated Li Mu!

Today, Sima Shang was very happy when he learned that a young master from Danyang City in Handan came here voluntarily to reward the front line with materials: the wealth of a family may not have any real effect on the tens of thousands of people on the front line, but as long as this matter is publicized, Come, let the soldiers know that their families and people in the rear are still thinking of them, and the soldiers' determination to protect their homes and country will surely increase!

When marching and fighting, the importance of morale is self-evident.

"Zhao Sheng's youngest son, 'Little Pingyuan Lord', Zhao Yi."

Reciting this name, Sima Shang opened the camp tent, looked at the cold moonlight, and continued to inspect the night defense line with his personal guards.

Zhao Yi's reinforcements were not only reported in the army, but also spread quickly among the civilians in Shannan City, Handan within two months due to the deliberate publicity by the farm disciples. This abnormality was immediately discovered by the secret agents of the Prime Minister's Office and reported to Got Guo Kai.

Guo Kai waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling to stop investigating the matter: It's just a boy asking for fame, and the Prime Minister doesn't care.

As a man of his word, Guo Kai always does things with money, never does any extra tricks, and does not care who the owner of the money is. He is widely praised by corruption recipients and spies from the Six Nations.

He also knows that he has a bad reputation, and he also knows that he is essentially a traitor, but so what~

According to his status, as long as King Zhao is still there, he will always be the Prime Minister of Zhao.If the State of Zhao dies, he can also be a minister of other countries.

In Guo Kaixin's eyes, in this world, only by constantly making money can he be able to live in peace and stability for the rest of his life.

The protagonist of all events, Zhao Yi, has been in a very good mood for the past two months, and he no longer likes going out in a sedan chair.

Mr. Xiao Pingyuan often goes to the streets alone in white clothes. He feels very comfortable when he hears the common people occasionally mention the boasts of "the young master cares about the country and the people, is generous in righteousness and distributes wealth, and assists the Zhao army, just like his father".

After sending another bribe to Prime Minister Guo Kai a few days ago, he even received written praise from the current King of Zhao, and he can be regarded as a famous figure in Handan City.

Only now did Zhao Yi realize that all the incompetent guests he had raised in the past were far less useful than sending money to the Prime Minister's Mansion~

Recently, the chief steward sent another message, asking him to interact more with Zhao Cong, a descendant of the clan, and the righteous son immediately complied.

This matter is in line with Mr. Xiao Pingyuan's taste, and the two have equal status.

This Zhao Cong is one of the more capable generals in the clan. He went to the battlefield a few years ago and served as deputy to Wu'an Lord Li Mu, and 'helped' Li Mu defeat the Qin army in Feixia last year.

Fan Yuqi fled to Yan State after that.

But after the war started this year, Zhao Cong unfortunately contracted a cold and was unable to go to war with the army. It was a pity.
However, when the famous Xiao Pingyuan Jun came to visit Zhao Cong's house, Zhao Cong was in good spirits.The two clansmen have similar interests, both love their names, their chats are extremely lively, and their relationship is getting closer quickly.
Zhao Yi was busy, and naturally the manager on the other side of the capital was not idle either.

He is also very busy. At the moment, he is listening to the snow girl playing the flute on the sand platform.

Tantai is generally closed during the day, but this is naturally not a rule for Lu Wei, who has Zhao Yi's token.

Still in that box, Lu Wei read the letters sent by Lu Yu from Jicheng to the accompaniment of "White Snow", which reported on various matters in Jicheng since he left.

Generally speaking, there are no major events within Luqiu Pavilion. The number of farm disciples is growing steadily, and the pavilion's income has also been further improved.

The main source of the increase in income is that the "Snow Wolf" organization that they refused to accept last year somehow angered Yan Chunjun. In anger, Yan Chunjun sent troops to uproot the "Snow Wolf" and 31 members. They didn't run away, they were all sent to the mass grave outside the city.

The caravan route map in the hands of 'Xue Lang' was secretly hidden by Yan Chunjun's housekeeper due to the carelessness of the killer in Yan Chunjun's house, and was presented to Lu Qiuge as a treasure.

Therefore, this year the Luqiuge caravan has extended towards Qin and the grassland.

Jicheng outside Luqiu Pavilion was even more lively.

Because Prince Dan is back!

It is said that he escaped back. As soon as he returned, there was a fierce conflict between the Prince's Mansion and Yan Chunjun's Mansion. Later, under King Yan's reprimand, both sides reluctantly gave in.

On the political level, Jicheng gradually returned to a state of confrontation between the two forces, but overall, Lord Yan Chun still had the absolute upper hand.

On the surface, Lu Qiuge was not involved in this political turmoil at all, and the Yanchunjun Mansion and the Prince's Mansion did not intentionally point the finger at the peasant family.

In addition, since the beginning of the year, there have been more and more Mohist disciples in Jicheng, and ordinary farm disciples have noticed it without the need for secret guards to report it. This shows that the number of Mohist disciples has increased dramatically.The situation in Yan State became increasingly complicated.

At the end of the letter, Lu Yu also stated that he would organize a caravan to go to Zhao State in the name of merchants and meet up with Brother Lu. After calculating the distance, the arrival time was estimated to be around the beginning of autumn.

The team, as directed by him, will consist of 150 people.

After Ayu came with these people, he handed over the affairs of Zhao State to him, so that the manager could go back to Yan to see in person.

After closing these letters, there was another secret note from Lu Ni. There were only six words on it: Luo Wang contacts Jueying.

There was no other help information, indicating that Lu Ni could still cope with it, and Luo Wang's visitor would not be of a very high level this time.

I've been away for more than half a year, Jicheng has been coping well~
There is also Xiao Yan'er. Lu Ni actually didn't mention the accumulation of medicine in Xiao Yan'er's body. It seems that there are some changes in Xiao Yan'er.

After lighting all the letters on the candle, burning them to pitch black, he exploded with energy and shattered them into powder and scattered them. Lu Wei turned to look at the snow girl not far away who was playing music with all her heart, and clapped her hands.

The performance was interrupted, Xue Nu gently put down her jade flute, looked up at Manager Lu, stood up and bowed, quietly waiting for the next instruction.

After finishing the mail, the next step should be to dance by myself.

She thought to herself that she had lived a good life these past two months. Except for occasionally playing the flute and dancing for the manager during the day, during the rest of the time, no one else in the dance floor made things difficult for her.

Snow Girl always has priority in purchasing new jewelry from Tan Tai.During the evening performance, she can also decide the order of appearance and content of the performance.

After what happened last year, she was still looked at with strange eyes and scorned. Now the polarity has reversed. Of course, she is smart and understands the reason.

This matter is beneficial to her, and Yuki-onna is not polite at all when using her privileges.

"The war is about to end. Have you figured out how to earn tens of thousands of gold in Yan Kingdom?"

Yuki-onna was like an abandoned stray cat with fried hair before. Anyone who came close to her might be scratched, and even a kick from anyone who came close could easily kill her.

And Lu Wei controlled the cat's food and range of activities. As long as he didn't directly grab it by force and controlled the distance in the early stage, forcing it to meow and eat around him to survive, the explosive The hair will always soften automatically.

Later, in order to protect the life it has adapted to, it will lower its bottom line step by step and do things that it could not do at all.

Then one day, when the stray cat realizes that it has been adopted again, it will lie down on the furry carpet, showing its soft belly, happily enjoying the touch of the new owner, licking the new owner's fingertips, and being a good friend of the new owner. Sweetie baby'~
"Xue Ji has come up with a plan and can earn tens of thousands of gold. However, there is one thing that needs Manager Lu's help."

Snow Goddess' expression did not change. She didn't know when the war would end, and she didn't care. She just asked the steward's question, lowered her eyes, answered crisply, and made a request:

"Xue Ji needs Tan Tai's 'Flying Snow Jade Flower Terrace'. With it, Xue Ji will be able to earn tens of thousands of gold for you."

The Flying Snow Jade Flower Terrace is the treasure of Feixue Pavilion in the original novel, and it still belongs to Tan Terrace.This stage is carved from a complete piece of white jade, crystal clear and flawless!

Staring at the increasingly expensive jewelry on Xue Nu's body, Lu Wei touched his chin after hearing such questions: "The Feixue Jade Flower Stand is priceless in itself. You should know this."

"Yes." Xue Nu was not in a hurry when she heard that the other party seemed to be refusing. "Manager Lu has been very tolerant to Xue Ji in the past two months. Xue Ji was deeply moved. At the same time, she also guessed that you believe that Xue Ji can earn you tens of thousands Golden."

"And with Feixue Yuhuatai, Xue Ji can bring you more~"

"You messed up Lingbo Feiyan last time. You haven't skipped it for the second time in the past two months."

Lu Wei listened to the other party's words, neither agreeing nor rejecting. He just poured himself a glass of wine and watched the wine column falling into the cup in a linear shape:
"Today, dance it completely again and show it to me."

"Yes, Xue Ji obeys the order." Xue Ji was stunned and quickly agreed.

Now that she has enjoyed the power of Manager Lu, there are some things she can't refuse.

Anyway, the oath of 'Don't dance this dance in front of others, otherwise you will see blood' was broken last time. I have already danced once in front of Manager Lu, and there is no harm in dancing a second or third time.Except for him, as long as he doesn't jump in front of others, it can still be regarded as abiding by the oath!
Snow Maiden, who had been prepared for a long time, was wearing an orthodox dancer's costume today. The exposed toes of her blue glazed dance clogs were gently touched, and the most perfect flying swallow danced once again.
At night, after returning to the small building outside Tantai, Lu Wei heard something unusual outside just after he meditated. He gathered his inner strength and listened carefully:
"General Li Mu won! The Qin army in the north was defeated!"

"General Li Mu won! The Qin army in the north was defeated!"

A few watchmen, beating gongs, happily shouted the news of the front's victory in various streets. After hearing this, the people ran out barefoot without having time to put on their shoes, and joyfully joined in the shouting: "General Li Mu has won, Han." Shanlan City is saved!"

Even though he had expected that Li Mu would win, he was still surprised by the joy of these low-level people. After all, no matter whether the Zhao Kingdom was going to be destroyed or not, the general manager could escape in advance, but these people, once the front line failed, they were really May die.
Not to mention, there are their brothers, fathers and even grandfathers in the frontline Zhao army.

The winner is always more likely to survive than the loser.

Tonight, Handan City is sleepless all night.
