Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 88 Lanling Meets Han Fei

Lanling Mausoleum of Chu State.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful.

It belongs to the Huaihe River Basin, close to the canal water system.

It has been four or five days since Ying Yuan and others came here.

Old Master Xun has also been buried in a grand manner.

Strangely, no one actually saw his body.

Ying Yuan doubted this.

Even before the funeral, he asked Tian Zhen, "Tell me, did Master Xun fake his death?"

These words really startled the latter.

Impossible to think about.

Xunzi had no enemies, was erudite, and had disciples all over the world.

Even the royal families of various countries dare not disrespect him.

Such a gentleman with both morality and learning, who would dare to lay hands on him?
Since there is no enemy, why do you have to pretend to be dead?
"When we came, the coffin had already been sealed, my husband, don't think about it." Tian Zhen responded in a low voice.

The other party is her mentor, no matter what you say, you should not discuss it.

After all, regardless of real death or fake death, when people talk about Xunzi later, they will only think that he died in this year.

Since most people thought he was dead, he was really dead.

The dead are great.

The sixth day after Xunzi was buried.

Ying Yuan and Tian Zhen met Han Fei in Xunzi's hometown.

The latter came forward, bowed and smiled and said, "Have you seen the champion, and the wife or senior sister?"

He has always been like this, carefree and informal.

"Unfortunately, your elder brother died, and your mentor passed away, how can you still laugh?" Ying Yuan joked.

Tian Zhen echoed from the side: "Junior Brother Han has always been casual in dealing with people and things. He must not care about such things in his heart."

Hearing the sound, Han Fei scratched the back of his head with embarrassment, so he had to smile wryly, "I really misunderstood me. No one would be more sad than Fei when my teacher passed away. I can only blame him for being ignorant about my brother.

However, Fei did not expect that the champion Hou and his wife would be able to come here to mourn the teacher. "

Tian Zhen said: "Master Xun is your teacher and mine, how can you not come?"

Han Fei was speechless for a moment.

Ying Yuan smiled and said, "What he meant was that we shouldn't come, Li Si should come, right?"

"It's still the champion who knows me."

Han Fei looked worried, "Tomorrow, I will leave here."

"So fast?" Ying Yuan was puzzled.

Logically speaking, since he came to Lanling, he should at least keep a filial piety for Xunzi for seven days, as a teacher and apprentice. Why is he in such a hurry?
Hearing his question, Han Fei suddenly became silent, his face was a little embarrassed, as if something was on his mind.

Ying Yuan was just about to ask a question, when he suddenly bowed solemnly, "I don't know how to explain this matter to Champion Hou. Fei just got the news that your envoy of Qin State unfortunately died in our Korea. The current reason is Still investigating.

However, it has been preliminarily suspected that Baiyue's deposed prince Tianze did it. The reason should be that he wanted to take revenge on us, Korea, and caused the two countries to kill each other, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman. "

Tian Zhen was a little surprised after hearing what he said.

However, it is inconvenient for her to say anything about such a major national event.

Ying Yuan, who is familiar with the direction of future generations and the plot of the original book, is certainly not unfamiliar with this scene.

He laughed and said: "This matter, in fact, the Marquis already knew about it last night, and the king also ordered me to set off for South Korea in person after the Lanling incident, investigate this matter clearly, and return you South Korea to justice. Also for the people of our Great Qin, hand in an answer."

Han Fei came to see Ying Yuan suddenly today for this purpose.

Seeing that the other party had expressed his position on this matter, the boulder in his heart was relieved a little, "If the champion marquis handles this matter personally, a war will definitely be avoided and benefit the people of our two countries."

"You don't have to say it so nicely."

After a pause, Ying Yuan said solemnly: "There is still no clear statement on this matter. If it is true that you South Korea did it and put the blame on Tianze, the deposed prince of Baiyue, then our Qin State will still report to you." South Korea wants an explanation."

In fact, the truth of this matter has already surfaced.

The key is whether Qin believes it or not, and what South Korea needs to do to convince Qin that this matter was indeed not done by South Korea.

The purpose of Ying Yuan's words was to let Han Fei know that at present, all the choices were in his hands, and he represented the entire state of Qin.

If he doesn't get what he wants, then war may happen at any time.

Han Fei knew that Qin would not stop there.

He can only see the tricks.

"I am waiting for the champion Hou Dajia to come to Xinzheng at any time."

After leaving this sentence, Han Fei left.

There is no need for him to stay here.

The next day.

When Han Fei left, Ying Yuan and Tian Zhen saw each other off outside Lanling City.

The latter couple did see the hazy tearful eyes of the former.

Probably weeping for Xunzi.

"Is Xunzi really dead? Is the Xunzi who appeared in the bright moon in Qin Dynasty a fake? Or is the timeline already messed up?"

Ying Yuan had great doubts in his heart.

After Han Fei left, within two days, Ying Yuan and his party also left Lanling.

They did not choose to borrow from Chu this time.

Instead, he intends to borrow from Wei Guo.

Inside the carriage.

"I will not be able to go with you when I pass through the Kingdom of Wei and pass through South Korea. I have already notified Wang Zhi and asked him to send a large army to the border of South Korea to escort you all the way back to Xianyang."

Ying Yuan had already issued the order yesterday.

He is now the Grand Sima, and he is in charge of the assassination of the Qin envoy. He has the imperial edict, so there is nothing wrong with mobilizing the army privately to the border of South Korea.

It's just that ordering may take some time.

But after arriving in South Korea, the transfer order is probably in Wang Zhi's hands.

He just followed Ying Yuan's order and went first.

Tian Zhen nodded obediently, "You must be careful in Korea. Husband, Zhen'er heard that you were assassinated in Korea last time and suffered serious injuries. You must be careful this time."

In the words, there is unconcealable worry.

Ying Yuan said: "Don't worry, I have my own plan in mind."

As soon as he arrived in Pengcheng, Wei State, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji greeted him personally.

That night, the two drank a drunk.

During this period, they talked a lot.

But they are all restrained, and there is no scene where too many words will be lost because of the drunkenness in the mind.

They took their companions to Suiyang, the state of Wei.

Since I came to Wei State, I would always go to their capital to have a look.

Otherwise, Ying Yuan would feel a kind of regret in his heart.

Suiyang was called Shangqiu in later generations.

For a while, it was also called Yingtianfu and Nanjing.

Of course, this Nanjing is not that Nanjing.

Suiyang has always been a battleground for military strategists and a gathering center for merchants since ancient times.

It would be a pity not to see it.

on the way.

Wei Wuji and Ying Yuan rode in the same carriage.

The two kept talking and laughing.

It's like an old friend you haven't seen for years.

"The last time we said goodbye, I thought that when we met Champion Hou, we would be enemies. Unexpectedly, when we meet this time, I can still smile happily."

Wei Wuji spoke from his heart.

Although he is much older than Ying Yuan, the two of them can be said to hit it off.

It can be described as a year-end friendship.

"When I first saw you, I thought I was about to experience what happened at the Huai River Port in Chu State again." Ying Yuan smiled.

Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, then he laughed loudly and said, "I've heard about this too, there is a folk saying that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed.

You knew it was a dangerous situation, but you were worried about the road ahead, and you still went to Xiang Yan's banquet alone. This experience was compiled into a story by many novelists, and it was widely circulated among the people.

Everyone in the world says that you are brave and resourceful, and the fact that you went to the banquet with a single halberd will surely be passed down through the ages. Isn't this a blessing in disguise? "

Ying Yuan shook his head, "It's all a false name. At that time, my life was hanging by a thread. If possible, it's better not to experience such a thing again. If Xiang Yan didn't hesitate at that time, I'm afraid I would have died there .”

"I don't understand others, but you and I still understand."

Sitting upright, Wei Wuji said jokingly, "If it was someone else, maybe it was a moment of bravery, and it all depends on luck to survive. But you are different. Since you dared to go, you didn't escape by boat immediately, it means that you have enough. Be sure, you can survive this battle."

Ying Yuan said: "Anyway, this Xiang Yan has made me get to know each other again."

Wei Wuji said: "Anyway, the feat of going to a banquet with a single halberd is not something that ordinary people can do. Brother, I admire you very much. A man has lived a lifetime, made great achievements, and made a fortune. That is actually something for later.

What really makes me yearn for is that any action you take is enough to pass on to future generations and make your name last forever.

If I am like this, even if I die, I should be willing. "

For some reason, Ying Yuan always had an illusion in his heart. When he saw Wei Wuji this time, he seemed to be much older than before.

Suddenly, Wei Wuji seemed to think of something, and said again: "The nameless sword master you mentioned in the past is now in Suiyang."
