Chapter 11: The Calm Before Despair

The news that Sun Bin, the senior brother of General Pang Juan, as a spy from another country, plotted against Wei and then escaped was noisy in Anyi City for a while, and then calmed down again. This was due to the fact that Wei released the news of recruiting Chinese soldiers as Wei Wushu, which instantly caused a sensation in the territory of Wei State.

Wei Wushu was founded by Wu Qi, and once it became an army, it changed the color of all the countries in the world, not only because of its complete armor and the advantages of soldiers and the leadership of such an excellent commander as Wu Qi, but also because of Wei Wushu's heart-warming reward and punishment system, so the Wei army was not afraid of death and went forward one after another. In general, in the hereditary environment of feudal society at that time, Wei Wushu broke the boundary between commoners and nobles, and created a method that commoners could also obtain military merits by killing enemy soldiers to become nobles. Even if a soldier did not receive much merit in fighting the enemy or died in battle for the country, the state would reward them with royal fields and allow them to cultivate hereditarily. Therefore, most of the current Wei Wushu is a position handed down by his ancestors. Grandpa is a military pawn, and after the grandfather dies in battle, the father can also be a Wei soldier, and after the father dies in battle, the son can also be a Wei warrior and earn military merits and be rewarded.

For other soldiers who did not become Wei Wujun, the reward was much less. Therefore, this time the Wei warriors were recruited again, and the Wei people were enthusiastic, and every household was ready to wait for the assessment, and then become a warrior, not only because of the reward, but also because of the glory of the warrior.

Martial arts, true heroes, this kind of thinking is the consensus of the Wei people. As for the cruelty and defeat of the war, the Wei people have been rampant in the countries for more than a hundred years, and they have never known what defeat is. No matter how difficult and dangerous it is in the end, the victory will be Wei in the end, and this time there is also General Pang Juan, Wei is destined to win. When called, it will be fought, and it will be won, this is the soldier.

Wei Kai didn't care about this. Wei Kaidu began to plan to rely on the memories of his previous life, referring to the means of making a fortune through the great gods in the memories of his previous life, using the principle of scarcity as precious, making a lot of money in this Anyi, and then making a fortune by storming all countries.

As for becoming a martial artist, although Wei Kai benefited from Wei Kai's foundation in the past, knew a little bit of martial arts, and later recruited martial arts to train himself, Wei Kai felt that he should have no problem becoming an ordinary general with his current martial arts, of course, he had to wait until Wei Kai was fully grown. After all, thanks to the crossing, Wei Kai found that his strength was different from ordinary people, which was the only advantage that Wei Kai found by analyzing his hole cards many times. For the bloody wind and rain on the battlefield, Wei Kai, as a person who will be educated in a peaceful society in the future, Wei Kai feels that he can't accept it yet.

However, things are so impermanent.

In the past few days, Wei Kai stayed in his room and thought about it for a long time. I was about to open the door and go out to meet this wonderful world, and I seemed to be shouting in my heart: I am the man who wants to become the richest man in the Warring States. However, when he opened the door and saw Wei Ying's face, Wei Kai seemed to hear the sound of his heartbreak.

Wei Ying saw Wei Kai who was opening the door, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei Kaixian, Lord Xiangguo is invited."

Wei Kai didn't remember how he entered the Xiangguo Mansion this time, anyway, life was going to come so violently, Wei Kai said that he could only try to change a better posture to greet him.

Gongsun Yan sent Wei Ying to find Wei Kai this time, considering the matter of Wei recruiting Wei Wushu this time. Considering that Wei Kai is young now, although his father is a military pawn, he can also contribute to the country when he becomes an adult.

But Gongsun Acne thought: Wei Kai has just lost all his family business, and the young man will inevitably be depressed, and he, as Wei Kai's elder, has the obligation to help Wei Kai. Therefore, Gongsun Xuan decided to let Wei Kai join the military first, and then transfer him to his side as his own close attendant, so as to familiarize himself with things in the army first, so as to develop later. After all, Wei Kai is the most outstanding son of Gongsun Acne.

Wei Kai saw the armaments and swords of the Wei soldiers held in the hands of the old servant beside Gongsun Acne, and he understood what Gongsun Acne meant. Sure enough, the big man never thinks about the idea of the little one, and Wei Kai can only accept it. Wei Kai took the weapons and equipment, and said without waiting for Gongsun Acne to speak: "Wei Kai understands."

Gongsun Acne actually had a lot to say to Wei Kai in his heart, and felt that Wei Kai had been entangled with the demise of the Wei clan in Yucheng, so he wanted to open Wei Kai's heart. Gongsun felt that a young man like Wei Kai should contribute to the Wei State, especially after Wei Kai was still a prince, he had the obligation to dedicate his strength to the country. However, seeing Wei Kai's current appearance at this time, Gongsun couldn't say what he was talking about.

Gongsun looked at Wei Kai, who was going away with Wei Ying, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Gongsun Yan could only say to himself at this time: "I hope that he can recall the hardships of his ancestors and the sincerity of serving the country when he was recruited into the army." He can let go of his inner prejudices and serve the country well. After all, the Wei State is here, and the family is here."

When the black slave next to him heard this, he said, "Don't worry, Lord Xiangguo." The little master is not bad by nature and is talented, so he will definitely be able to let go. The little master will definitely understand the painstaking efforts of Lord Xiangguo." When Gongsun acne heard this, he said, "I hope so."

However, the world is impermanent, and Gongsun Acne would never have thought that this was the last time he would see Wei Kai as Lord Xiangguo. After seeing Wei Kai again, Wei Kai was already the great enemy of Wei. As for his expectations for Wei Kai, he hoped that he would become a pillar of the Gong clan and contribute to the Wei State completely came to naught.

Wei Kai was drinking in the tavern with Wei Ying and Hou Ying at this time, and he had no consciousness of becoming a martial artist at all. After Hou Ying heard that Wei Kai had become a military pawn, he was very happy for Wei Kai and said: "This time I congratulate Wei Kai on his virtuous brother, you can make meritorious contributions and achieve a good reputation."

Wei Kai replied: "Little brother, thank you for your congratulations on this time", and then drank the bowl of wine in front of him, seemingly a little reluctant. After Hou Ying saw it, he was very strange and looked at Wei Ying. Wei Ying looked at Wei Kai's appearance at this time, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei Kaixian, it's really different from ordinary people. Now, everyone is proud to be a warrior. Husband, you should go into battle to kill the enemy and establish a meritorious career."

Hou Ying also persuaded Wei Kai at this time and said: "On the same day, after Hou Ying heard Wei Kaixian's remarks about heroes, Hou Ying benefited a lot. Now, the Wei State is recruiting troops, and Hou Ying can't wait to gallop on the battlefield as a pawn to comfort his heart, and he will not have nothing to do in this Anyi city."

Wei Kai said: "Little brother, it's just that I'm bored. I don't have the intention of despising the martial arts, and I hope the two big brothers will forgive me", after speaking, he drank three bowls in a row with Wei Ying and Hou Ying.

Wei Ying and Hou Ying saw Wei Kai, who didn't drink much on weekdays, but at this time, they toasted here again and again, and they were very drunk. The two of them thought that Wei Kai was because of the military equipment of the military guards this time, and they couldn't help but recall their ancestors, and then thought of the destruction of the Yucheng clan that was boiling a few days ago, and they couldn't help but sigh. The two of them could only comfort Wei Kai here, and after Wei Kai was drunk, Wei Ying and Hou Ying sent Wei Kai back to his residence. The two were not at ease, so they also stayed at the inn for the time being, waiting for tomorrow.

In Gongzi's mansion, Prince Shen was once again drunk among the beauties collected by Gongzi Wei for Prince Shen. On that day, above the court, Prince Shen and Gongzi Wei tried to embarrass Gongsun Acne, but they didn't succeed but almost showed their feet.

Although, Wei Wangying thought that this was just Gongzi's greed for money, and later indulged in a few stunners sent by Gongziwei, so he forgave Gongziwei and did not let Yousi chase deeply.

However, the contest in the court, the complete defeat of Prince Shen and Gongzi Wei is undeniable. This made those forces who had tried to rely on Prince Shen see clearly the weakness of Prince Shen now, and returned to a state of harmony, and the orders of Prince Shen were not as active as before, which made Prince Shen very angry. Moreover, now that Wei is actively preparing for war, all forces are still asking Gongsun Acne, who is Xiangguo, to get a piece of the pie in the upcoming war against Zhao and Han, so they dare not offend Gongsun Acne.

The same is true of the forces of Prince Shen, but after several requests to see him, the Xiangguo Mansion said: "The Wei army is the public weapon of the Wei state." Xiangguofu only exercised power on behalf of the king of Wei, and could not benefit himself. If the crown prince has other requests, he can ask to see the king and ask the king to issue a decree, and the Xiangguo government will definitely comply. There is no need to come to Xiangguofu in the future. Therefore, Prince Shen now hates Gongsun Acne very much, but he can't do anything about the current situation, so he comes to Gongzi's Mansion to indulge in beautiful women.

Gongzi Wei hurriedly ran in at this time and said to the prince: "The prince has a good thing, a great good thing." Prince Shen showed his chest, holding the slender waist of the beauty next to him with one hand, and holding the wine glass in the other, leaning on the steps of his bedroom in Gongzi's bedroom, and said to Gongzi: "Uncle Wang, this beauty is really fragrant, Uncle Wang........"

Gongzi Wei smelled the smell of wine on Prince Shen's body, and understood that Prince Shen was estimated to have had another night of hangover. So, let the beauties serving around him retreat, and then said to Prince Shen: "Does the prince still remember Wei Kai?" Of course, Prince Shen remembered Wei Kai, it was Wei Kai's self-defense in the court that day that shattered his plan with Gongzi, and it became a joke among the princes of Anyi. Then, he glanced at Gongzi Wei and said, "What's wrong with that villain?" Famous again? ”。

Yes, Wei Kai's self-defense allowed Wei's reputation of loyalty to Wei to spread throughout Anyi City. Wei Wangying's sentence: "Wei's true loyal ministers" is the best proof. However, all of this came at the cost of the embarrassment between Prince Shen and Prince Shen, who hated him very much.

When Gongzi heard this, he didn't know that Prince Shen also hated Wei Kai because of Gongsun Acne, so he said: "Prince, here is an opportunity to make that little thief cry bitterly and kneel in front of us and beg for mercy." Let this little thief repay the evil deeds of the old thief for Gongsun Acne", Gongzi Wei finished speaking, and his face became extremely fierce.

Above the court, although it was the defeat of Prince Shen and Gongzi, but on the surface, it was his Gongzi who suffered a lot of humiliation. Gongzi Wei, as the younger brother of the current King of Wei, is rampant and domineering in this Anyi City, but he was disgraced by Wei Kai, a child, how can Gongzi not hate?

When the crown prince heard this, he thought of the failure of the plan offered by Gongzi Wei not long ago to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, and suddenly said with a little distrust: "Uncle Wang, why don't we think about it again, don't let Wei Kai, this little thief, escape." When Gongzi heard this, he knew that Prince Shen was distrustful of his recent failure to talk about Gongsun Acne, so he immediately said, "This is the general's plan."

When Prince Shen heard it, he said, "The general's plan? ”。 Gongzi Wei nodded and continued: "The prince knows that this time the destruction of the Yucheng clan, Brother Wang was very dissatisfied with the Wei family, but because of Xiangguo, there was no attack. When Prince Shen heard this, he said, "And this matter? Gongzi Wei told Prince Shen that Wei Kaizao had deceived the king of Wei's wealth transfer.

After the crown prince Shen heard this, he thought of the help of the general Pang Juan and the anger of the king of Wei this time, even Gongsun Acne was not easy to get out, and suddenly shouted with red eyes: "This time it depends on how this thief escapes?" If you don't kill this thief, it will be difficult to calm the hatred in your heart. Gongzi Wei also said in harmony on the side. Then, the two began to conspire.

In the General's Mansion, Pang Juan stood on top of his pavilion, overlooking Anyi City in front of him. recalled that he was so good to Sun Bin and hoped that he would assist him, but Sun Bin wanted to meet King Wei several times to show his talents. Later, after getting the military map and formulating a strategy, he didn't even look for his classmate first. Sun Bin actually looked for Wei Kai, and in Pang Juan's opinion, Wei Kai was Gongsun Acne.

Sun Bin betrayed himself and was actually ready to take refuge in Gongsun Acne, which made Pang Juan how could he bear it, so he planned to let Sun Bin be unknown and die in the prison of Wei with notoriety to relieve the hatred in his heart.

But he didn't expect that Wei Kai, a thief, actually helped Sun Bin escape, completely ignoring himself, a general. Pang Juan felt that he should let the worm understand his fate, so he decided to teach Wei Kai a lifelong lesson. As for offending Gongsun Acne, Pang Juan never thought that he could coexist with Gongsun Acne. At the beginning, how brilliant Wu Qi was, he was not forced by Gongsun to flee to Chu State, and now he is dead and his clan is wiped out. Pang Juan admits that he is not a fool, he firmly believes that his fate is in his own hands, and no one can stop him, not even King Wei.

At this time, Pang Juan's envoy had already sent the gift to Wei Kai's inn, and Wei Kai was still drunk and didn't know it.
