Wei Si sent Ru'er to Chu to inquire about the movements of Chu, and Su Dai brought ten carts of money and grain to Han to comfort South Korea to show the affection of Wei and Han allies.

Then he ordered Gongsun Xi in Hexi to be the main general, and Pang Juan's son Pang Yuan to be the deputy general, and sent troops to capture Quwo, Jiao, Shaanxi and other Shangluo lands.

After everything was arranged, Wei Si finally became idle, and happened to hear that the queen guard Ji was sick, so he wanted to go to the harem to visit the queen guard Ji.

But at this time, someone came to report:

"There is a Zhao envoy outside the palace asking to see the king!"

Wei Si had to return to the main hall to meet Zhao Envoy for the time being.

After Zhao envoy saw the king of Wei saluting, he first took out a letter from his monarch Zhao Yong and presented it to Wei Si, who was directly shocked after taking a look.

It turned out that the content of Zhao Jun's letter was that Zhao learned that Korea had been defeated by Qin again, resulting in a great loss of national strength, so he invited Wei to take over the Shangdang region, which had become a Korean enclave.

Wei Si couldn't help but say in his heart:

"This Zhao Jun obviously saw that South Korea's national strength was greatly damaged, and he couldn't take care of the Shangdang region that had become an enclave, so he wanted to invite himself Wei to carve up the Korean Shangdang together, but he just sent Su Dai to take money and food to send Han there, how could he do such a thing again?"

However, it is not appropriate to directly refuse Zhao Envoy, so Wei Si had to temporarily place Zhao Envoy in Daliang and let him wait for his decision.

Wei Si actually didn't want to get the Korean party in his heart? But now is not the time, but Zhao Guo first got this greed, if he and Zhao really carved up the Korean party at this time, I am afraid that South Korea will remember all the resentment on Wei Guo, which is very detrimental to Wei.

Especially in the south, there is a powerful state of Chu, and the strength of the state of Qin in the west cannot be underestimated at this time, if Korea forms an alliance with any of its countries to deal with the state of Wei, then its own state of Wei is likely to consume all the national strength accumulated in the past few years, which is unbearable for the heir of Wei.

And at this time, Chen Zhen personally sent Le Yi and Nie Xian to Qi State, and he couldn't find anyone around him who could discuss this matter, so Wei Si was also very anxious.

Wei Si wandered in the palace for a day, and when he woke up the next day, he wanted to find a place to go out and relax, so that Zhang Xiao was ready, Wei Si went out of the palace with him, or came to the north of the beam to take a boat on the Jishui to see the scenery.

At this time, it was late autumn, and the gusts of cold wind blowing in the face were naturally a little biting, Zhang Xiao saw that Wei Si had been looking at the river at the bow of the boat, and he didn't say a word, so he reminded Wei Si:

"King, now that the cool breeze is gusting outside, you better go inside, otherwise you will catch a cold!"

Wei Si replied:

"No need, the widow came out just to blow the wind and make himself sober and sober, after all, the widow has been so tired and tired lately!"

At this time, the boatman who was holding the boat on the side heard the conversation between the two and asked:

"Who are you? Why are you called a great king and a widow, this is too bold, right? ”

Zhang Xiao returned to the boatman:

"Uncle, this is just a private name between the two of us, you don't have to care!"

The boatman smiled lightly, and then said:

"Alas, it's the first time I've seen such an arrogant person, old man, and he dares to let people call him the king in private, it's really a madman who is not afraid of death, a madman!"

Zhang Xiao suddenly wanted to rush over and reason with the boatman, but was stopped by Wei Si:

"Big nose, why do you have to be like an old man, and now the old man is supporting us on the boat!"

The boatman glanced at Zhang Xiao and Wei Si with disdain:

"Don't think that if you pay me a piece of gold leaf, I will have to rely on you, old man, I tell you, if you treat the old man so disrespectfully, I will let you both fall into this water together, and give it to the evil spirits, and then leave your bones gone."

Zhang Xiao couldn't help it, so he replied directly to the boatman:

"You old man, you are so daring, you ...... You...... You know we're ......! ”

As a result, Wei Si covered his mouth:

"Big Nose, are you going to disobey my orders?"

Zhang Xiaocai stopped talking.

I only heard the boatman laugh and say:

"Hmph, you two arrogant people are just like an old immortal living in the valley by the Yellow River, they are all raccoon dogs on a hill, raccoon dogs on a hill!"

Wei Si came over and asked the boatman curiously:

"Uncle, who is the old immortal you are talking about?"

The boatman snorted twice and replied:

"It's a person who claims to be over 100 years old, and looks like an evil ghost, and when he sees people, he thinks he is amazing!"

Wei Si was a little surprised:

"Over 100 years old? Then I'd love to meet this person, after all, it's the first time I've heard of someone over 100 years old! ”

Zhang Xiao came over and said:

"Wasn't the first king already over 100 years old before?"

Wei Si replied:

"How can there be more than 100 kings? How can a widow not remember? When it was still alive, it was only over eighty! ”

Zhang Xiao said with some excitement at this time:

"King, then I really want to meet this grandfather who is over 100 years old!"

The boatman said with a smile:

"If you want to see it, I can also take you there, old man, but it takes half a day!"

After speaking, he took the gold leaf that Zhang Xiao paid him before and lit it up in front of the two of them.

Wei Si naturally understood what he meant, so he asked:

"And how much gold leaf do you want to add?"

The boatman replied:

"It's enough to add two pieces!"

Wei Si gave Zhang Xiao a look:

"Take it out and give it to him!"

Zhang Xiao was a little reluctant:

"King, I've given it a piece of gold leaf enough to earn it for a few years, and now I'm still giving it two? It's too black-hearted, isn't it? ”

The boatman said:

"Well, if you don't want to give me the shore now, you can go back!"

Wei Si said to Zhang Xiao:

"Don't you listen to me again? If you do it again, see if I will punish you when I go back! ”

Zhang Xiao had no choice but to take out two more pieces of gold leaf from his bosom and hand them to the boatman, and then whispered to Wei Si:

"King, this half-day boat trip, then we won't be able to go back to the palace tonight!"

Wei Si reminded Zhang Xiao:

"From now on, don't call me the king, just call me the head of the family, if you can't go back to the palace, you can't go back to the palace, it's not a big deal, we are two big men, where can't we live?"

The two of them followed the boatman all the way up into the Yellow River, and then went northeast for a while, and it was already dusk, when the boat came to the north shore near a hill and high ground.

On the shore, the boatman pointed to a valley not far away where there seemed to be houses, and said:

"Look, those houses are where the old immortal lives!"

Wei Siding looked over and found that these houses seemed to be made of bamboo and wood, surrounded by all kinds of orderly flowers and trees, which looked very elegant, very different from the ruthless and unreasonable master that the old man of the boatman said, and more like an elegant person's residence.

Wei Si asked the old boatman:

"Is the old man at home now?"

The old man of the boatman replied:

"Of course, since the old immortal moved back here a few years ago, he has hardly seen him out of here, maybe he is too old to walk!"

Wei Si asked again:

"Then uncle, how did you know this old man?"

The old man of the boatman replied:

"I once hunted, I came across a rabbit, and then chased here, but was calculated by this dead old man, and fell into its trap, and this dead old man asked one of his grandchildren to tie me up, it was a lot of numbers, insults, I was almost scolded by him to kill myself, but then I held back, and thought about it, why should I meet an old thing with one foot close to the coffin!"

Zhang Xiao laughed on the side:

"Haha...... Haha, you bad old man also has today, you deserve it... Deserve! ”

After speaking, he spat at the old man of the boatman, and the old man of the boatman was angry, so he pounced directly and fought with Zhang Xiao on the ground.

Although the old man of the boatman is over sixty years old, his strength has not decreased, Zhang Xiao is naturally not an opponent, and he was directly pressed to the ground by the old man of the boatman, and when he saw that he could not beat the old man of the boatman, he began to ask Wei Si for help:

"Head of the house...... Master, can't you watch me being bullied like this? ”

Wei Si replied with a smile:

"I told you a long time ago, why do you want to be like an old man, you still don't listen, now you're suffering!"

After saying that, he came over and said to the boatman:

"Uncle, it's still young, just let him go!"

The old man of the boatman said:

"Unless this guy has the sincerity to apologize to the old man, I have to teach this guy a good lesson!"

Seeing this, Wei Si persuaded Zhang Xiao:

"Big nose, you see that you are like this, just apologize to your uncle and admit your mistake!"

Zhang Xiao replied very resolutely:

"Impossible, it's impossible for me to apologize to this bad old man, it's the old man who is disrespectful first, my filial piety can be broken, blood can be shed, this apology can't be explained, unless it kills me!"

When the old man of the boatman heard this, he became even more angry, and directly grabbed Zhang Xiao's neck with his hand and asked:

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

Seeing this, Wei Si hurriedly walked over and yelled at the old man of the boatman:

"You old horseman, don't be presumptuous!"

Zhang Xiao seems to be full of indifference:

"Master, don't worry, this bad old man, he doesn't have that guts!"

The old man of the boatman sneered:

"Hmph, listen up, you forced me!"

Just as the old man of the boatman was ready to exert his strength, suddenly out of nowhere came a pair of boys and girls, and surrounded the old man with sticks, and heard the virgin say:

"Presumptuous, who told you to kill us indiscriminately?"

The old man of the boatman suddenly let go of the hand holding Zhang Xiao's neck, and responded to the virgin:

"What if it's made, won't your old immortal grandfather have to go into the coffin sooner or later? I found a funeral for him today, old man, and he should thank me! ”

I only heard a very old voice from the bamboo house not far away:

"Who is there to curse my king to death? Let me tell you, my Wang Xu will definitely live longer than you, you have the ability to wait for me, don't run, last time I pitied you and let you go once, you still dare to come again, and you are so disrespectful to me, look how I clean up your little rabbit cub! ”

The old man of the boatman, when he heard this voice, was so frightened that he quickly let go of Zhang Xiao, and then pushed away the boy and girl, and ran away without a trace.
