Wei State, Xinling

It was getting a little drowsy, and Wei Wuji's guests had already gone out to rest. Only the three closest guests to him stayed, lit the candle, Xin Lingjun wanted to entertain the distinguished guests from Zhao again, at this time, Xin Lingjun was finally no longer the drunken appearance in the daytime, he smiled gently, and motioned for Li Yu to sit down. Although Wei Wuji is the leading nobleman of the Wei State, he doesn't pay much attention to it here.

This can be seen from the tripod in front of him, the number of tripods can definitely drive King Zhao crazy, because he only put one tripod. Li Yu was very surprised, but several of the disciples around Wei Wuji seemed to be used to it, and they didn't even dissuade him, Wei Wuji noticed Li Yu's surprise, winked at him, and said, "There are no outsiders here that I don't trust, and you don't have to be restrained." ”

Wei Wuji's doorman talked to Li Yu about Zhao Guo again, and they seemed to be very curious about Ma Fuzi, especially after Li Yu described Ma Fuzi like that, Li Yu said to them proudly: "I heard that the phoenix roams the sky, and without seeing the sycamore tree, it would rather die of exhaustion in the sky than fall down to perch." I set out from Chu and traveled to Wei, Qi, Zhao... This is not the first time I have come to Shinryung. ”

"Oh? Have you ever been to Xinling? Am I not your sycamore? Wei Wuji asked with a smile.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "Please forgive me for my blunt words, you are a sage, but as the son of Wei, you have not been able to do anything for the common people of Wei to benefit them, which is not my sycamore wood in my opinion." ”

"You mean Mafuko can do it?"

"Ma Fuzi didn't do it either, but he was doing it. The first time I visited him, I saw him leading the guests to help the people to cultivate, hahaha, all over the world, have you ever heard of a noble person helping Qianshou to farm? The matter of farming is a menial thing, and of course the meat eaters are unwilling to do it, but my Shaojun can do it, and none of the many customers of Shaojun complain about it. ”

"Zhao is a noble, so there are many people who laugh at Ma Fuzi, saying that he is far inferior to his father, and he is only talented in cultivating in the fields, but in my opinion, this is my sycamore wood." , Li Yu said proudly.

Xinling Jun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If I had known about your visit to Xinling, I should have taken them to the fields for a few days." He paused and asked, "What happened to this matter?" ”

"Ma Fuzi has never been a farmer, he has been busy in the fields for two days, and he has been lying on the sickbed for three days." , Li Yu said.

Everyone laughed, but they didn't have any intention of laughing, Wei Wuji was a little distracted when he heard it, shook his head and said, "Don't say it again, if you say it again, I'm afraid I can't help but drive to see him in person." ”

Everyone talked for a while, Li Yu saw that Wei Wuji still didn't mention the reinforcements, and he couldn't sit still, he said: "I heard that Jin Xiangong borrowed a way from Yu State to attack Yu State, Gong Zhiqi said: The cheeks and gum bones are interdependent, and the lips will be cold if they lose their teeth. Duke Yu did not hear about it, which led to the destruction of the Kingdom of Yu after the destruction of the Kingdom of Jin. ”

"Now that the State of Qin and the State of Yan are attacking the State of Zhao, the State of Zhao is in danger, and the State of Wei does not care about it, isn't this to continue what the State of Yu has experienced?"

"Today, Zhao is threatened and you don't help him, when Zhao is destroyed and Qin comes to attack Wei, who will help Wei?"

As soon as Li Yu opened his mouth, everyone fell silent, Wei Wuji frowned, looked at Li Yu, and said, "Shouldn't you say these words to King Wei?" I don't have a tiger talisman and can't command Wei's army, so how can I help Zhao? Li Yu said without thinking: "Ma Fuzi sent a doorman named Zuoming to buy grain in Wei, and he is also in Xinling, please help him." ”

Wei Wuji looked at a young man sitting on his left, the young man looked a little swarthy and honest, Wei Wuji looked at him and asked, "Kui, how much food do we have?" ”

Kui was Wei Wuji's confidant, and because he was serious and meticulous, he was entrusted with taking care of Wei Wuji's various properties, and he immediately replied: "There are also 273,600 stone millet, 65,700 stone wheat, 826 dolphins, and 2,432 sheep. Wei Wuji nodded and said, "If I want to send some grain and grass to Zhao Guo, I will give him 200,000 stone millet and 50,000 stone wheat, how about it?" ”

Li Yu was overjoyed, and was about to get up to thank him, when the old man on the side suddenly said, "No." ”

Wei Wuji looked at the old man, the old man's face was solemn, he shook his head, and said, "Don't...", he wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There are many people in the country who want to harm you, if they know that you gave the grain of the Wei State to the Zhao State, this is to give them the opportunity to attack you, how can you do the thing of handing the short sword to the enemy?" ”

Wei Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid. Ma Fuzi can be the sycamore of Zhao State, can't I? I have heard that a sycamore tree cannot be cut by a decaying axe, so I did as I pleased. ”

Kui also stood up and said with a humble face: "Please wait for a day, and then I will go to the granary to re-register our grain, gather the grain in the mansion, and then give it to the envoy of Zhao State." ”

Wei Wuji nodded.

In the middle of the night, Ming was resting in the post station, when a soldier came to tell him that someone wanted to see him. Ming hurriedly got up, at this time, came to meet him, probably only Li Yu, Ming walked out of the door excitedly, and then was stunned, the person who came was not Li Yu.

.........

In the next few days, Li Yu stayed in Xinlingjun's mansion with peace of mind, Wei Wuji was very enthusiastic about him, here, every day was a banquet, the guests were quite happy, Wei Wuji did not forget to help Zhao Guo, often asked Kui, did the grain move? And Kui only replied with a smile: Food is still on the road.

Gradually, Li Yu also couldn't sit still, a lot of days have passed, Ming seems to have left Xinling, he hasn't seen him for many days, he is worried that something is wrong with Ming, but also worried that it will be too late to come back, in Wei, he heard a lot of news, including the news that Ma Fuzi led thousands of people to crusade against the 100,000 army of Yan State, Wei Wuji's doormen raised their glasses to Li Yu, they all admired Ma Fuzi's courage.

Only Li Yu, he was very worried about Zhao Kuo's safety. He couldn't be happier.

Wei Wuji was probably a little anxious to wait, and finally called Kui in front of him, couldn't help frowning, and asked, "You never delay in doing things on weekdays, why is it so slow to transport grain and grass this time?" Are you trying to resist my commands? ”

Kui lowered his head and said nothing, Wei Wuji asked helplessly, "What is there that can't be told to me?" ”

Kui raised his head, his face ashamed, and he said, "I have lost your trust, and I have been selling your grain and grass all these years because I have been short of money. I didn't think you would find out, but this time you suddenly want to concentrate on grain and grass... I can't make it up. Wei Wuji was stunned, the laughter in the banquet stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Kui in disbelief, why are you such a person? That kind of disdain, angry eyes, almost drowning Kui.

Wei Wuji was speechless, he took a deep breath and said, "How much did you sell?" ”

"Almost all... Now the granaries are empty. ”

"I.... I trust you so much that I give you all my inheritance, is this how you repay me? Someone!! Wei Wuji roared angrily, pointing at Kui in front of him, but he couldn't say anything anymore, jumping and shouting, "Call me out!" Several samurai pounced on him, pressing Kui is beating, Kui did not resist, Wei Wuji returned to the inner room angrily, several samurai beat Kui frantically, and when he walked out of the door, his best friend on weekdays couldn't help but spit on him.

"Villain! Scum! If you still know something, you deserve to die! ”

Kui was thrown out of the gate in embarrassment, his nose and face were swollen and scarred, he stood up, patted the dust on his body, and limped away.

Li Yu looked at this farce and sighed, he vaguely suspected in his heart that this was Wei Wuji deliberately instructing Kui not to borrow food for himself, he didn't go to see Wei Wuji again, turned around and left here, he was going to find Ming.

Wei Wuji was sitting indoors, drinking, when the old man suddenly walked in and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" Li Yu he left. Wei Wuji covered his face and said ashamedly: "It's okay if he leaves, I don't have the face to see him again, you don't know, Kui He has been selling my grain all these years, no wonder he has been procrastinating, it turns out that my grain and grass have already been stolen by him." ”

The old man was shocked and hurriedly said, "This is impossible! Kui is not such a person! ”

Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, slowly raised his head, and suddenly, he thought of something, jumped up suddenly, like a gust of wind, rushed out of the inner room, and shouted: "Prepare a horse for me!" The doormen stood up in disbelief, and soon someone brought the horses, and the old man followed behind him, and asked them to not move, so they waited here, and then went to chase Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji galloped wildly, everyone on the road avoided it, and it was chaotic, Wei Wuji still remembered Kui's courtyard, the horse rushed to the outside of the courtyard, Wei Wuji jumped off the horse, fell, hurriedly got up from the ground, and slammed open the gate of the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the blood-stained dagger fell to the ground, and the honest boy fell in a pool of blood.

Wei Wuji's expression was sluggish, and he collapsed limply in front of the young man.

He began to cry.
