The moment he saw Duan Ganzi, Wei Wuji suddenly had a very, very bad premonition in his heart.

According to common sense, Duan Ganzi should have been in Taoyi City, otherwise he should have been at the negotiation table with the people of Zhao, how could he suddenly appear in this Dong'e City, which had already been surrounded by the people of Zhao and didn't even want to fly out?

Wei Wuji subconsciously clenched his fists.

Duan Ganzi sat down in front of Wei Wuji with a smile: "Why, Xinlingjun doesn't seem to welcome me?" ”

Wei Wuji looked at Duan Ganzi and found that this Ganzi was neatly dressed, and the whole person looked as if he had just come out of the mansion and was ready to go to the early court.

Wei Wuji seemed to understand something.

"Since Duan Qing has appeared here, it must be ...... The king has successfully negotiated peace with the king of Zhao? ”

Duan Ganzi nodded with a smile and said, "Xinlingjun expected it to be good, it is indeed so. ”

Wei Wuji took a deep breath and said, "Then which areas does the Great King plan to cede to the Zhao State?" ”

Duan Ganzi said: "Chengqiu, Kang's father." ”

Wei Wuji bowed slightly, and said: "I think this is the reason why Zhao Jun let Duan Qing enter the city, after getting the land of Chengqiu and Kangfu, the area around Dayozawa will be owned by Zhao State." From then on, Zhao State was not only able to intervene in the affairs of Wei and Qi, but also was able to attack Qufu, Xuzhou and other places in Chu State from now on, so it is no wonder that King Zhao would agree to such conditions. ”

Duan Ganzi nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Wei Wuji glanced at Duan Ganzi deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Duan Qing, the matter of seeking peace with Zhao Guo must have been facilitated by you?" If you cooperate with Zhao Guoren like this, aren't you afraid that you will leave a traitorous name in the history books in the future? ”

Duan Ganzi's face changed slightly when Wei Wuji said this, but he immediately returned to normal, and sneered: "Traitor? Xinlingjun, Xinlingjun, I want to ask you, if you hadn't lost the battle on the front line and let 100,000 good men of Wei die on the battlefield, even if I wanted to sell the country, where would I start? ”

The eyes of the two men met in the air, and there was a very obvious disdain and hostility in their eyes.

After a long moment, Wei Wuji spoke: "Speaking of which, although the people of Zhao are strong, they can only let Duan Qing enter the city. The reason why Duan Qing was able to lead so many people and horses to suddenly come to my small courtyard should be because Qi Guo also reached a contract with Zhao Guo? ”

Duan Ganzi said with a smile: "Xinlingjun is really smart. So why don't you ask Xinling Jun to guess what kind of agreement has been reached between this Qi State and Zhao State? ”

Wei Wuji thought for a moment very seriously and said, "I heard that the Yan State has also joined the Zhao State to attack the Qi State, but I don't know where the Yan Army is now?" ”

Duan Ganzi said: "The Yan army has now surrounded Linzi City. ”

Wei Wuji sighed and said, "Since this is the case, then presumably the land between the Tang River of King Qi cannot be saved." ”

Duan Ganzi's face showed a look of admiration, and he nodded: "What Xinling Jun said is very true, the King of Qi has promised to cede all the Gaotang and other Hejian lands to the Zhao State. ”

There was a sudden silence in the room.

After a while, Wei Wuji spoke again: "South Korea has also sent troops, so presumably there should be some gains." ”

Duan Ganzi said: "Exactly, the king has ceded Chaoge to Korea. ”

Wei Wuji sighed lightly, with a sighing expression on his face, and said: "Cutting the land and seeking peace like this is just cutting meat and feeding the tiger, which can only make the Wei State weaker. ”

Duan Ganzipi said with a smile: "If you don't make this decision, then I'm afraid Taoyi will also follow in the footsteps of Daliang City." ”

"Tao Yi?" Wei Wuji paused for a moment and said, "The terrain of Taoyi is far higher than that of Daliang City, even if the people of Zhao State break the water and drown it, as long as the city prepares in advance, then it will definitely not be submerged like Daliang City." As long as the other countries learn the news, they will send troops to rescue them, and then Taoyi will be able to turn the corner from danger to safety. ”

Duan Ganzi snorted and said, "What Xinlingjun said is simple, but I want to ask, if Taoyi is really broken by the Zhao people, can Xinlingjun afford this responsibility?" ”

Wei Wuji was silent.

After a long time, Wei Wuji spoke again: "Duan Qing must have come this time to take my head and present it to the king, right?" ”

Duan Ganzi paused for a moment.

After just a few breaths, the expression on Duan Ganzi's face suddenly became relaxed.

"Since Xinlingjun has a premonition, it saves me a lot of words. Come on, serve the wine! ”

Soon, a very delicate bronze wine lord was placed in front of Wei Wuji.

The outer wall of the wine jue is engraved with many simple and complicated lines, at a glance you know that it is obviously a precious thing, the wine in the glass is red, and it seems that the blood is present in the wine jue, there is a strange feeling.

Duan Ganzi stretched out his hand and pointed at the wine lord: "Xinlingjun, please." ”

Wei Wuji didn't immediately pick up the wine in front of him, but glanced at Duan Ganzi first: "What does the king have to say to me?" ”

Duan Ganzi said: "The king has a word that I have to bring to Xinling Jun: 'If you are a brother and a widow is a brother, it may be a great fortune for the Wei State!'" Today's things are not what the widow wants, but they have to be done. ’”

Wei Wuji quietly listened to Duan Ganzi's words, without any expression on his face.

After a while, Wei Wuji suddenly said, "If I die, how can the king give an account to the subjects of Wei?" ”

Duan Ganzi said: "Xinlingjun fought bravely, was wounded by a stray arrow on the battlefield, and died of illness in Dong'e City due to his injuries. ”

Wei Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Is that such a simple reason?" ”

Duan Ganzi said: "Exactly." ”

Wei Wuji said again: "Can my wife's small family exist?" ”

Duan Ganzi nodded and said: "Xinling Jun sacrificed himself for the country, whether it is the king or I respect him wholeheartedly, how can he harm his loyal wife and children and do those things that are spurned by ten thousand people?" ”

Hearing this, the expression on Wei Wuji's face seemed to relax a little, and he said: "Zhong Chengnai is a fierce general, if you make good use of this person, you should be able to make contributions to Wei Guoguo in the future, I hope Duan Qing can speak in front of the king and save Zhong Cheng's life." ”

Duan Ganzi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's okay." I will speak before the king, but the life and death of this person must be decided by the king, and I cannot guarantee anything else. ”

Wei Wuji nodded.

Duan Ganzi glanced at Wei Wuji deeply, and said slowly: "If there is nothing else, Xinlingjun will ask for it." ”

Wei Wuji picked up the bronze wine jue in front of him, which was as exquisite as a work of art, stared at the blood-red wine in the jue, and let out a long sigh.

"I have the heart to serve the country, but I can't go back to the sky, but I can't help it!"

He held Jue in his hand, threw his head up, and drank all the poisoned wine.

Duan Ganzi sat opposite Wei Wuji and watched all this quietly, the expression on his face was quite complicated, it seemed to be relaxed and it seemed to be a little regretful.

……

Duan Ganzi walked out of the door of the study, and a henchman immediately greeted him, Duan Ganzi glanced at the henchman and said, "How is it?" ”

A dead human head was held in the hands of his henchmen and appeared in Duan Ganzi's sight.

This head is none other than the young Wei general Zhong Cheng.

Duan Ganzi glanced at Zhong Cheng's head, with a look of disgust on his face, waved his hand and motioned to his henchmen to quickly take the head away, and then said lightly: "The matter is over, and go back with me to report to the king." ”

The summer midday sun poured down from the sky, and through the cracks of the big tree in the courtyard, the shadows of countless leaves were reflected on the ground.

A breeze blew, and all the leaves fluttered softly in the wind, and the rustling sound spread to every corner of the yard, and even the shadows of the leaves on the ground were dancing with this breeze.

On the leaf-covered earth, a headless corpse fell there, blood slowly spilling from its neck, staining the earth red.

A faint smell of blood wafted through the air, drifting far away, far away with this breeze......
