After listening to the words of Wei Qing, the head of Xinlingjun, all the guests said that they would follow Wei Wuji to Handan, but none of them flinched.

After Wei Wuji listened to the report of the chief manager Wei Qing, his heart was moved.

came to see his three thousand disciples in person, and said to everyone: "Everyone, if you follow Wuji to Handan this time, you may encounter an accident. Mowgli can't bear this, please think carefully, whoever doesn't go, Mowgli will never blame. ”

The guests laughed and said to Wei Wuji in unison: "Childe, life, I also want it; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also. ”

Seeing this, Wei Wuji was very moved in his heart, and bowed down to the guests and said: "Everyone, since this is the case, Wuji will no longer persuade you, everyone go down and sit down and get ready, and we will go to Handan together tomorrow." ”

All the guests said in unison: "No." ”

By the next day, Wei Wuji had prepared hundreds of horses and a dozen chariots, and was ready to go to Handan with 3,000 guests.

At this time, Wei Wuji found that the doorman he relied on was not there.

asked Wei Qingdao, the chief manager beside him, "What about Hou Huan?" Why don't I see him, I know that he is old and old, and it is impossible to go to Handan to the front. But at this time, you have to come and see me off! ”

Wei Qing hurriedly bowed and said, "Son, Hou Huan said yesterday that he will wait for you at the east gate and say goodbye to you." ”

Wei Wuji was a little puzzled, but he couldn't say anything, so he led the three thousand people to the east gate of Daliang.

found that his doorman was waiting for him, and he was waiting for himself at the east gate.

After seeing Hou Huan, Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, who was about to travel far away, bowed to Hou Huan and said goodbye.

But Hou Huan didn't bow to Wei Wuji, but said lightly:

"I hope Gongzi will take care. I'm too old to travel with me. Don't be surprised! Don't be surprised! ”

After speaking, Hou Huan closed her mouth and said nothing.

At this time of life and death, Xinling Junman thought that Hou Huan would say something more. But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see him open his mouth again, and Wei Wuji found that Hou Ying didn't even bother to take care of himself at this time.

Xin Lingjun felt uncomfortable for a long time, so he had to lead everyone away.

After walking for more than ten miles, Xin Lingjun remembered the scene when he was usually with Hou Huan, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he said to everyone:

"This son treats Mr. Hou Huan with great confidence. But I came to Zhao to fight against Qin, and I would die, but Mr. Hou Ying saw me this time, not at all as usual, he didn't say a word, planned for me, and didn't stop me from moving forward. What's going on? ”

The more Xinling Jun thought about it, the more he felt that Hou Huan must have some reason why he was like this.

So, he left the guests in the suburbs and led the car back to see Hou Huan alone.

Hou Huan saw Wei Wuji turn around and come to see him, laughed and said:

"Childe, the old man thinks that Childe is hospitable and well-known all over the world. Now that there is a crisis, I can't think of any other way but I have to rush to the battlefield to fight to the death with the Qin army, this is like throwing fat meat to a hungry tiger, what is the effect? ”

"If that's the case, what are we guests going to do? Childe has a deep affection for me, but Childe went to me but did not see me off, so I knew that Childe hated me and would return. May I ask Childe, is what the old man said right? ”

Xin Lingjun nodded and said to Hou Ying: "Sir, it is true. But now the king of Wei refused to send troops to Handan, seeing that the state of Zhao was about to perish. The Zhao State will be destroyed, and I am afraid that my Wei State will also follow in its footsteps! ”

"In this case, as the royal son of the Wei State, I am especially waiting for the destruction of the Wei State in the future, when I am killed by the Qin army. It is better to take advantage of this time to fight to the death with the Qin army in Handan and die on the battlefield. ”

When Hou Huan heard this, he laughed at Xin Lingjun again:

"Childe, you could have defeated the Qin army and aided the Zhao State. Why do you want to do this? ”

After hearing Hou Ying's words, Xinling Jun was overjoyed.

He said to Hou Ying: "What is the clever plan of the gentleman? Please let me know. ”

Hou Huan touched the gray beard under her chin, and Wei Wuji said:

"Childe, there is a plan, but I don't dare to call it good. Lao Yu heard that the king of Wei put the military talisman of Jin contempt in the palace of the king of Wei, and the king of Wei had a concubine named Ruji. This Ruji is very favored by King Wei. I don't know what the old man said? ”

Wei Wuji nodded and said to Hou Huan: "What Mr. said is very true, this Ruji is indeed very favored by King Wei. ”

Hou Ying then said to Xinling Jun:

"Childe, I heard again that Ruji's father was killed in the past. In order to avenge the murder of her father, she begged for three years, but failed to get her wish. In the end, it was Childe who sent someone to help her get revenge. ”

For this, Ruji is very grateful to you, and after these incidents, she said to you, "If there is anything in the future, I will serve you." Childe, is there such a thing? ”

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji nodded again, and said to Hou Huan: "Sir, this is indeed the case. ”

Hou Huan laughed again and said to Xinling Jun:

"Childe, if you want to save Zhao Guo today, you must have a large army. Relying on you and your 3,000 disciples will definitely not work. Now my Wei 100,000 troops are stationed in Yecheng, more than 100 miles away from Handan, this is a gift from heaven to the army! ”

"As long as Gongzi obtains military power, relying on Gongzi's prestige in Wei today, these 100,000 troops will be used by Gongzi. But if you want to gain military power, you must first obtain the tiger talisman of Wei Yu, the king of Wei, before you can command the army led by the general Jin Contempt. ”

"Childe, the soldier talisman of the general Jin Contempt, in the bedroom of King Wei, there is no way for others to get it. But now King Wei favors Ruji, and only Ruji can steal it. Why don't you ask for a thief? ”

"If the prince can get the military talisman, he can take the military power from the hands of Jin Contempt and wave the army to save Zhao. According to the old decay, only in this way can we succeed in saving Zhao and Qin! Why does Childe have to bring thousands of guests and be generous to death? ”

Hearing Hou Huan say this, Xinlingjun woke up like a dream.

He bowed to Hou Huan gratefully and bowed twice, and then went back to the car and went home.

After returning home, he sent Yan En, a favorite concubine who had befriended Ruji, into the palace to meet Ruji and ask her to steal the talisman.

The favorite concubine of Wei Yu, the king of Wei, is a beauty, very beautiful, but also a brave martyr.

Therefore, when Yan En's words made her intentions clear, she immediately said to Yan En:

"Yan En, please go back and tell Xinling Jun: Xin Lingjun avenged his father's revenge for his concubine's body, and the great grace and the concubine's body, since the son has a life, although the concubine goes to the soup and fire, he will not give up!"

The words are said like this, but how to steal the talisman, Ruji has no way to start.

After two days, she was anxious when she suddenly heard the king of Wei shouting:

"Ruji, get some wine, I want to drink! Drinking! ”

Ruji knew that the time had come to steal the talisman.

She knew Wei Yu, the king of Wei, had a habit of drinking: if she wanted to drink, she would definitely get drunk.

So, she persuaded left and right, cup after cup, and soon, King Wei was drunk.

Ruji took the opportunity to come to Wei Yu's dormitory and stole the talisman.

He left the palace overnight and handed over the talisman to Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling.

After Wei Wuji got the talisman, he thanked Ruji, didn't dare to stay in Daliang any longer, and prepared to go on the road overnight.

Hou Huan said to Wei Wuji again: "Childe, when the general is fighting outside, he has the power to make decisions on the spot, and some of the king's orders can not be obeyed, so as to benefit the country." ”

"When Gongzi goes to Yecheng, even if the two coincide and are verified, if the general Jin is contemptuous and still does not hand over the military power to Gongzi, but wants to ask the King of Wei, then the matter will be dangerous."

"My friend Zhu Hai, the butcher, can go with you, this man is a strong man. If Jin contemptuously obeys, it will be better; If he doesn't listen, he can let Zhu Hai kill him. ”

When Wei Wuji heard this, he cried.

Seeing this, Hou Huan asked him: "Is the son afraid of death?" Why are you crying? ”

Wei Wuji replied to Hou Huan: "Sir, Jin Wei is a brave and experienced veteran of the Wei State, I am afraid that he will not obey the order and will definitely kill him when I go to him, so I am so sad that I cry, where is the fear of death?" ”

So Wei Wuji went to ask Zhu Hai to go with him.

Zhu Hai smiled and said: "Childe, the villain is just a butcher who wields a knife and kills animals in the market, but Childe has come to greet me many times, and the reason why the villain does not answer the reward is because I think the small gifts are useless." ”

"Now that Childe is in trouble, this is the time for the villain to kill for you."

So Zhu Hai and Wei Wuji went on the road together.

Wei Wuji went to thank Hou Huan, and Hou Huan smiled and said to Wei Wuji:

"Childe, I was supposed to go with you, but I couldn't do it when I was old. On the day you march to the Jin army, I will face north and kill myself to thank my son for his kindness. ”

Wei Wuji was shocked and said to Hou Ying: "Sir, don't do it!" ”

Hou Huan laughed and said to Wei Wuji: "Childe, now you hurry up to Yecheng to obtain military power for the Wei army, this is a major event related to the national fortune of my Wei State, an old thing, don't worry about it anymore." Childe, go, go! ”

After Wei Wuji rode away, Hou Ying could no longer see the chariot Wei Wuji was riding.

Hou Ying's old tears came out, and he said to himself: "Son, you are old and old, and you value it." But this time you went, the old man had nothing to repay, and he could only repay his son with death. ”

With that, Hou Ying drew his sword and killed himself.

When Hou Huan met Xinlingjun, he was already seventy years old, and because of his poor family, he was the gatekeeper of Daliang Yimen.

Wei Wuji heard that Hou Ying was very talented, so he went to visit in person and wanted to give a generous gift.

But Hou Huan refused to accept it, and said to Xinling Jun: "I have cultivated my character and adhered to ethics for decades, and I can't accept the financial gifts of my son because of my poor caretaker." ”

Wei Wuji set up a banquet and feasted the guests. After everyone came to sit down, Gongzi took the carriage and horses and the entourage, vacated the left position on the car, and personally went to the east city gate to greet Hou Huan.

Hou Huan tidied up her shabby clothes and hats, and went straight to the car and sat on the distinguished seat vacated by Gongzi, without the slightest intention of being humble, wanting to observe Wei Wuji's attitude. But Wei Wuji held the reins of the horse more respectfully.

Hou Huan said to Wei Wuji again: "I have a friend in the slaughterhouse of the market, and I hope to be wronged by Gongzi's carriage and horse to take me to visit him." ”

Wei Wuji immediately drove to the market, and Hou Huan got out of the car to meet his friend Zhu Hai, who squinted at Gongzi and deliberately stood there for a long time, chatting with his friend, while secretly observing Gongzi's face. Wei Wuji's face was even more pleasant.

At this time, the generals, prime ministers, ministers of the clan and high-ranking guests of the Wei State were sitting in the banquet, waiting for Wei Wuji to raise a glass to the banquet, and the people in the market saw Wei Wuji holding the reins and driving for Hou Huan.

Wei Wuji's entourage all secretly scolded Hou Huan. Hou Huan saw that Wei Wuji's face remained unchanged, so she said goodbye to her friend and got into the car.

After arriving home, Wei Wuji led Hou Huan to sit on the table, and respectfully introduced Hou Huan to all the guests, the guests were very surprised, when everyone was in the mood for wine, Wei Wuji stood up, walked to Hou Huan and raised a glass to him on his birthday.

Since then, Hou Huan, as Wei Wuji's guest, has given advice to Wei Wuji many times.

Especially this time to steal the talisman to save Zhao, it made Hou Huan's name stay on the history.

If you treat me as a countryman, I will treat you as a countryman!

Hou Ying used her life to profoundly interpret the profound meaning of this sentence.
