Chapter 15 Wei Kai sells swords

When people experience painful things, the brain tends to selectively forget them, so as to free them from the pain. Wei Kai is not like this, whenever he forgets Uncle Wei, Wei Kai will take out the ancestral sword, feel the cold light on the sword, recall the original incident over and over again, and then be silent for a long time. Wei Kai doesn't want to be a weak person now, after all, weakness has made Wei Kai taste too much.

Aoi may not think so, she can't feel the pain in Wei Kai's heart. She was originally the daughter of a small official family, but when the family died, Aoi was sold to Gongzi Wei, and then became a plaything of Prince Shen.

Aoi's past is tragic, so much so that when you see flowers and plants on the way, they flutter freely in the wind, and Aoi feels very beautiful. For Wei Kai, Aoi was very conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, Aoi is very grateful to Wei Kai for saving him from fire and water, and on the other hand, he is also afraid of Wei Kai, especially seeing Wei Kai's expressionless face every time he kills, Aoi seems to be able to feel Wei Kai's deep disgust for everything in this world.

"It's here", after Aoi heard Wei Kai's voice, he opened the veil of his hat slightly, looked up in front of him, and a city stood in front of him. Aoi turned his head to look at Wei Kai, after all, it was Wei Kai who made choices all the way, and Aoi did what Wei Kai said, of course, Aoi also tended to choose passively.

Wei Kai looked at the city in front of him, and an indescribable feeling lingered in Wei Xingxing's head. Wei Kai compared it to Anyi in his heart, the city in front of him was very tall but not very big. The city gate is engraved with the word Liyang, which looks a little simple and solemn.

In the process of entering the city, Wei Kai and Kui only paid some entry taxes, and did not have too many other checks. After all, Shang Ying has not yet changed the law in the Qin State, and the law of road introduction and joint sitting has not yet been implemented. After entering the city, Wei Kai and Kui found a Qi Country Inn to live in, and asked the store to prepare some food, and in this way, Wei Kai and Kui's nearly one-and-a-half-year fugitive career seemed to be finally over.

After eating something, Wei Kai said to Kui, who was still eating: "After you finish eating, go back to your room and have a good rest, and I'll go out to find out the news first." When Aoi heard this, she immediately stood up and pulled Wei Kai's arm to ask Wei Kai not to abandon her, seeing that Aoi's tears were about to overflow from her eyes, Wei Kai sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, no one will let you do what you don't want to do now." After Wei Kai repeatedly assured, Aoi let Wei Kai leave. For Aoi, Wei Xingxing was very entangled. At the beginning, he didn't want her to be buried alive in the fire, so he took her away, and later fled to various countries with her. This is also something Wei Kai didn't expect, maybe this is the will of heaven in the dark.

Liyang is different from Anyi City, which is the newly built capital of the Qin State, and the capital of the Qin State was called Yong in the past. Compared with Yong, the current Liyang is closer to the intersection of Qin and Sanjin - the land of Hexi. The land west of the river refers to the plain between the river (the Yellow River) and the Luoshui, the land is fertile, and the products are abundant. When the Jin State was still a vassal of Zhou Tianzi, the Qin and Jin States fought many times because of the land west of the river, and the two sides took turns to dominate each other in the land west of the river for nearly a hundred years.

Later, during the period when Wu Qi of Wei was a general, a battle of Yin and Jin basically drove the forces of Qin out of the Hexi Plain, and Wei occupied the land of Hexi for a hundred years, which was also called a hundred years of shame by the people of Qin, and the vitality of Qin was greatly damaged. Later, after more than 30 years of exile in Wei, the current Qin King Yingshi Xi returned to China and took the throne, and gradually stabilized the situation in Qin.

Wei Kai carried a sword on his back and walked on the street. The streets of Liyang are not very spacious, but they are very straight, and there are very few vendors on the streets, and even if there are, they are merchants from Weiqi. However, the people of Qin do love to drink, especially like to gather people to drink and make trouble, and even fight and kill, so there is no stable environment for business, and it has not been able to develop for a long time.

This is also the reason why the Qin State is out of touch with the times. Although the Qin State was awarded the titles of Qin Bo and Xitui Doctor by the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin State was not recognized by the other six major powers, and considered the Qin State to be a barbarian. Although the ancestors of the Qin State worked hard to create a hegemony like Qin Mugong, the later rebellion of the Fourth Dynasty shook the foundation of the Qin State. At this time, other countries were carrying out changes to enhance their national strength, gradually getting rid of the shadow of the slave society, and a large number of new military landlords emerged, and the country's financial and military strength increased and dominated one side.

The Qin State originally had little contact with the other six countries, and the courage of the Qin people was also called barbarism in the eyes of the surrounding countries. The countries gradually isolated the Qin state, and later in the rebellion of the fourth dynasty, the Qin state broke out in internal strife and began to close the country.

In the struggle between the Qin people and the various tribes of Longxi Xirong, they cultivated a brave and fiery character. The country declined, and the internal contradictions of the Qin State increased, and this brave spirit developed into a style of private fighting, which became more and more intense.

Later, the Qin prince Yingshi Xi, who was exiled in Wei, witnessed the strength of Wei's reforms, and was worried about the chaos of Qin, so he returned to China with the help of ministers to inherit the throne, imitating Wei and adopting some new policies, but the slave landlords of Qin were too powerful, so the Qin king moved the capital from Yong to Liyang, which was close to Hexi, one was to get rid of the threat of slave owners and carry out new policies, and the other was to show that he had recaptured the land of Hexi and rallied people's hearts.

The fundamental system has not changed, and no amount of New Deal will only give people the illusion of a short-lived prosperity. Wei Kai walked down the street, and it didn't take long for him to see several street fights. Even if the patrolling soldiers came, they could not stop them, and even fought with the soldiers.

Although the Qin State is now more powerful than the Fourth Rebellion, the national strength of the Qin State is recovering. However, compared with other countries, Qin's development was too backward. Now, the Qin State has two more capitals, one is Liyang, which represents the emerging power, and the other is Yongcheng, which is the slave family. The government decrees were inconsistent, and the national strength of the Qin State had not been able to accumulate, and at the same time, the forces of the two sides had been fighting, which had slowly become the fuse of the current dangerous situation of the Qin State.

Wei Kai, who returned to the inn, pushed open the door and found Aoi waiting for him in his room. Wei Kai glanced at Kui, sighed, picked up Kui and put him on his bed, sat next to the desk, carefully thought about the history of the Qin State during this time, thought about it repeatedly, looked at the sword in front of him, and said to himself: "The previous Wei Kai is dead, and now my name is Zhao Qi", and then fell asleep unconsciously.

Early in the morning, Wei Kai had already woken up early, which was a skill that Wei Kai had cultivated on the way to escape for a year and a half. On the way of this year, Wei Kai has been tempered from a person who hated killing to a person who disregards life.

Of course, this is mainly due to Aoi, as the favorite concubine of Prince Shen, her appearance is far beyond ordinary people. There are always outlaws on the road, seeing the young Wei Kai and the beautiful Aoi, this is completely a fat sheep sent to the door, but now people who have such thoughts estimate that the grave grass is already a few feet high.

Aoi was still asleep at this time, and after a year of traveling, Aoi was estimated to be abnormally tired. In order not to bore Wei Kai so that Wei Kai would not abandon him, Aoi always asked himself not to bring a little trouble. Wei Kai looked at Aoi's sleeping face, thinking that when he was in the Prince's Mansion, he provoked her just to humiliate Prince Shen and Gongzi, but he didn't expect that what would happen later.

At this time, Aoi also woke up. Wei Kai and Aoi looked at each other, Wei Kai turned his head indifferently and said, "It's good to wake up, I'll go out today, we may have to move soon, you prepare." Aoi said, "The slave understands." Looking at Wei Kai's departure, Aoi was also very complicated in his heart, understanding that people like Wei Kai would not stop because of the love of their children, and besides, he was once a favorite concubine. However, being able to stay by Wei Kai's side, Aoi was already very satisfied. After all, Wei Kai was the first person Aoi had seen who was kind to her, although sometimes Wei Kai was very scary. But, this is enough, Aoi is already very satisfied to be able to wait for Wei Kai to come back every day.

At this time, Wei Kai had already changed his outfit and pretended to be a down-and-out scholar who had fallen into the Qin Kingdom. When Wei Kai came to the corner of the street, he shouted loudly and said: "According to legend, Ou Yezi, a swordsmith owned by the Yue State, has forged the Longyuan sword for several years, and it has been passed down to the world. Now the contemptible family is in the middle of the road, and I am willing to give this sword to those who are destined."

Looking at the gradually gathering crowd, he continued: "If someone is destined to answer the contemptible question, he can take this sword." When the crowd next to him heard what Wei Kai said, they chattered, and at this time, someone in the crowd asked, "Is this sword really given to someone who is destined for nothing?" Wei Kai ignored him and continued: "Whoever can name the five uses of the sword, the contemptible person will give him this sword."

As more and more people came around, Wei Kai continued to repeat what he had just said even harder, but few people answered. At this time, several characters who resembled wandering ruffians walked out of the crowd and said to Wei Kai: "Boy, your sword, whether it is good or bad, Uncle Ben wants it", and then went to grab the sword in Wei Kai's hand. Wei Kai smiled and was waiting for the rogue ruffians to come, so he smiled and looked at the few ruffians who came over.

The ruffians looked at Wei Kai smiling at them, couldn't help but look at each other, thinking: This can't be a fool, and then looked at Wei Kai with a sneer. Wei Kai instantly used the sword as a club, pumping out one of the ruffians in front of him, and then dividing the other ruffians by five. Wei Kai looked at the crowd around him, instantly inserted the sword into the stone slab on the street, and said, "If you want to get the sword, it is more convenient to answer the question."

The surrounding crowd was already very surprised to see that Wei Kai, a young man, had actually knocked down a few usually fierce ruffians. Now, seeing that Wei Kai actually inserted the sword into the hard stone slab, he suddenly felt that Wei Kai was a god divine power and could not be provoked. So, they all began to think for themselves, but no one answered.

For ten days, Wei Kai would be here every day, saying a similar paragraph, causing a large number of onlookers. As a result, news such as the young man selling swords, beating the ruffians, and the divine power of the gods spread in Liyang, so that all forces began to pay attention.
