The killer still doesn't have some useful clues, but the time spent in Chunyu City has passed for a day, and the opening of the Famous Sword Tournament is imminent, and he must leave immediately. In desperation, these officials of Qi said when the envoys of Yue State were leaving: "We have handed over this matter to the King of Qi, and I believe that the King of Qi will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." ”

Wei Ziheng had no choice but to nod, and then took his own convoy and went to the next stop under the escort of many Qi troops, Linzi of Qi State.

Wang Xu, who was on the road, set up the carriage in front of him, and at the same time turned his head to Wei Ziheng in the carriage and said, "Lord Wei doesn't know that you know anything about this Qi Pinggong and Jiang Biao?" ”

"I don't know very well, do you know something about Qi Kingdom?" Wei Ziheng said curiously.

Wang Xu said lightly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that this Qi Pinggong, who has been in power for 25 years, seems to have been at war against Yue again and again, and the major obstacle to Yue's northward hegemony is this Qi Pinggong." As a courtier of the Yue Kingdom, shouldn't you have some alternative ideas? ”

Wei Ziheng couldn't help but think about it when he heard this, this Qi Pinggong Jiang Biao seemed to be true: "The country is the country, the home is the family, and I am me." I do things for King Yue's longevity, but I don't do things for Yue Kingdom. ”

"Why?" Wang Xu seems to be a person who likes to talk.

Wei Ziheng pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Because if I do something for Yue Guo, maybe I won't leave." In the same way, if I only work for the country, maybe I will not be able to be an official in the country for a long time. ”

Wang Xu smiled and said, "It seems that Lord Wei has such foresight at a young age, which makes him very admired, I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years. I've heard endless things in the world, and I know a lot of truths, but I really don't know a little about officialdom, and I don't know if Lord Wei can narrate it for me. ”

"Do you want to hear it?"

"Yes, I'd love to."

Wei Ziheng, bowed his head and said: "For the truth in officialdom, in fact, I can't express too many opinions, as far as I see so far, the relationship is too complicated, the intertwining of various interests, dazzling, you are not sure whether your existence is meaningful, but you are destined to become a friend of some people, or a stumbling block when you are an official in the court, so the position is very important, but maybe I am different, because I have never thought of seriously engaging in officialdom at all."

Although I am now a courtier of the Yue Kingdom, I will not be in the future. ”

Wang Xu was quite surprised after hearing this: "I can't imagine that Lord Wei is still such a high-minded person?" Entering the court as an official, this is the dream of countless people, it is actually a fictitious in the mouth of Lord Wei, and he is generally worthy of being a talented person, and there is light everywhere. ”

Wei Ziheng smiled lightly and said: "Looking at your appearance, it seems that the two of us are the same age, I am 18 this year, you don't need to call me Lord Wei, just call me Ziheng." ”

"I'm only 18 years old! is worthy of being a hero out of a teenager, I am 21 years old this year. Compared with Brother Ziheng's experience, it is really a bit clumsy. Wow, it's been 5 or 6 years since I traveled the rivers and lakes. Starting from the Wei Kingdom, he traveled between the Qi State and the Song State. After this famous sword conference, I was thinking of traveling to the Jin Kingdom, a large northern country. I don't know if Brother Ziheng can go all the way. ”

Wei Ziheng was a little surprised when he heard this, and then smiled: "You are really a smart person, it seems that you knew me before this." ”

Wang Xu couldn't help laughing out loud at this time: "Ziheng, when I was about to set off this morning, I asked Gongzi Xiaoer when I was feeding the horses. He was very clever and told me everything. ”

"Huh? And this operation. Oops, well, well, it's not a secret after that? Since you've said so, what else can I do? "Wei Ziheng was frightened by this clever trick called Wang Xu for a while.

Wang Xu said happily: "Then thank you." I heard that you are still the Wei Qing clan of the Jin Kingdom, it seems that you are from an extraordinary background. ”

Wei Ziheng said silently: "What's the use of these? No matter how good you are born, if you don't work hard the day after tomorrow, it's not a piece of waste wood. Sometimes I envy you for being able to wander the world and wander the rivers and lakes, this kind of leisure and leisurely life is the yearning of many people. ”

Wang Xu waved his hand and said: "Actually, it's very simple, as long as you have a free heart, you are free everywhere?" This world is impermanent, what we see is whether your original intention has changed? God is very fair, your actions will determine your life, the so-called destiny, but usually people give in to fate is just an excuse. Those who fight against fate are worthy of admiration. ”

"Well, too." Wei Ziheng listened to Wang Xu's words, and suddenly felt a little touched.

The next journey was unusually smooth, from Chunyu City to Linzi of Qi State, if you look at the usual speed, I am afraid it will take three or four days, but in the case of full protection and clearing road obstacles, it only took more than two days to successfully arrive in Linzi of Qi State.

Looking at this speed, this group of Qi country's guards seemed to attach great importance to themselves. Linzi is an old city with a history of nearly 1,000 years, and in the early days, there were people who settled here to develop agriculture and so on. Later, when it entered the world of King Zhou, this place was also divided into the Qi State of Jiang. Linzi has always been the capital of Qi State, admired and worshiped by the princes of the world during the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, and is still one of the most influential cities in the land of China.

Entering Linzi City of Qi State, just like rumors from the outside world, the population is large and crowded, and Linzi is huge, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people at most. After a series of formalities and procedures, the Yue delegation led by Wei Ziheng slowly drove into the city. They were placed directly in the rooms that had already been arranged. There are all kinds of people on the street, and they even come from all over the world.

In the city of Linzi in Qi State, there are many martial arts masters, as well as many sects with great prestige in the rivers and lakes. If you walk along the road, you will come across one or two burly knights with sharp swords. They were dressed in different national costumes, and the whole Linzi City was full of grace, and heroes and talents gathered in the city.

As soon as Wei Ziheng came to the city, he hurriedly received a letter of condolence from Jiang Biao, the Duke of Qiping, and directly gave several baskets of bamboo slips related to the Famous Sword Conference. At the same time, he was not in a hurry to invite Gongzi Xiaoer to meet, it seems that Jiang Biao, the Duke of Qi Ping at this time, seems to be quite busy with official business, and has spent a lot of effort on receiving many chivalrous guests.

At the same time, among the residences of various countries, they found envoys from the Qin State in the west, envoys from the Yan State in the north, and envoys from the Chu State in the south, as well as envoys from their own country, the Jin State, and the envoys of the Central Plains countries. This scene is like a meeting of the princes of the world, it is very spectacular. Almost all countries, like the Yue Kingdom, only sent their own ministers, or people like the crown prince, to participate.

The envoy of the Chu State and the people of Yunmeng walked together, but the Longyuan Sword that made Wei Ziheng very curious did not appear. On the contrary, a large number of unknown swords appeared, and at the same time, swords that were once famous also appeared from time to time.

Wei Ziheng contacted Wu Meng as soon as he came to Linzi City of Qi State, and sure enough, they lived in a small inn nearby, after all, there are many people in Linzi City now, and it is difficult to grab a better inn. There are even some people who live directly outside the city, and the current Linzi Inn is really hard to find.

It seems that this is not the first time Wang Xu has come to Linzi in Qi State, and he is very familiar with some of the terrain. It seems that the venue of the sword tournament may have been set up in a military camp in the city.

After Wei Ziheng sorted out some things, he quietly came to an eaves, where four masters were waiting for him.

"You're really in a hurry." Wei Ziheng packed up the sword of King Yue Goujian and looked at the four people beside him.

These four are not the others, they are the Eight Swords of the King of Yue who came to Linzi in the Qi State before.

He said, "Lord Wei, I really didn't expect that it would be you who came to Qi in person. ”

"It's me, what's the problem?" Wei Ziheng slightly noticed that the aura of the Eight Swords of the Yue King was different.

Xuan Jian took a few steps forward and said, "Please don't get me wrong, Lord Wei actually knew that you were destined to leave, but there are some things that may need to be dealt with before you leave. ”

"Of course I know that, what do you want to say?" Wei Ziheng said very calmly.

Covering the sun's eyes, a little strange, he said: "You are on the way, did you arrive at the attack of some killers early?" ”

"Yes. It is not known who it is? Wei Ziheng said truthfully

"In front of Lord Wei, we will no longer hide anything, the killer this time and the assassin who broke into the court of Yue Guo at that time, in fact, they are not all the way, but the driving force behind them is from the same person. We have been investigating carefully for so long, and we thought that he might be in Qi State, but later we found out that the person behind the scenes deliberately pushed this suspicion to Qi State. This person is most likely in the court of the Yue Kingdom. ”

"In that case, why are you looking at me like that?" Wei Ziheng said with a smile.

Suddenly, another person rushed from the side, and another person, holding a sharp sword, stood on the side of everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, what are you doing?" It was so tense, as if we, Lord Wei, had done something wrong. ”

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Zhong Ren who was also here.

He said angrily: "Lord Wei, you shouldn't come, since you want to assist King Yue, you shouldn't accompany Gongzi Xiaoer to Qi Kingdom." ”

Wei Ziheng smiled, he finally knew the meaning of what the Eight Swords of King Yue said: "Actually, I also reminded King Yue of this, but again I want to explain it to you." Your fears are valid, but they shouldn't be. This person's identity is very hidden, and it is difficult to find for a while, if he doesn't deliberately show some fox tails, maybe no one knows what he wants to do? But for now, with the assistance of many civil and military generals, King Yue is not long, and he can still dominate one side. For me, it's dispensable, even if I'm still in Langya City, I can't necessarily solve that matter. ”

"What do you mean by that? We're worried about King Yue right now! "The occult sun immediately expressed his opinion.

Wei Ziheng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to think like this. We extrapolate the assumption that this individual is trying to replace the king with a minister. Then there must be a large number of people who have to support him, so that it will be possible. Looking at the current country of Vietnam, it seems that no one can do it. King Yue is not longevity and is actively grasping power. Your worries are a little redundant, and my departure has already been agreed with King Yue, I hope you don't blame. ”

The startled salamander on the side shook his head, as swordsmen, they really cared about the country and the safety of the king. But the evil stood alone, silent, and did not show any emotion, but just watched there, and after a while turned around and sat down on the eaves.

Covering the sun's expression, he seemed to be not satisfied with this explanation, and said a little emotionally: "I don't want to see a tragedy happen." ”
