Volume 2 The Young Man Chapter 94 Misfortune (I)
Since the early shop came out, Wei Chen and Ah Gui have been walking slowly on the streets of Liyang City. Wei Chen put his hands behind his back, observing the pedestrians on the road as he walked, as well as the shops that had just removed the door panels. Ah Gui held the long sword and followed Wei Chen a few steps away, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
"Agui, how do you say this place compares to Anyi?" Wei Chen opened his mouth and asked Ah Gui, who had been silent behind him.
Ah Gui glanced around, and then chuckled without thinking: "Naturally, it can't compare to the prosperity of Anyi." ”
"What you said is also true, this place is indeed not as prosperous and lively as Anyi." Wei Chen said with a smile, then changed his words and continued to speak: "Although this place is not as prosperous as Anyi, it is more vibrant and potential than Anyi. ”
"Childe, what do you mean by that?" Agui asked with some confusion.
Wei Chen's footsteps paused slightly, and then he continued to walk forward, and after walking a distance, he explained to Ah Gui: "Although Anyi is prosperous, it has been prosperous for decades, and the people there have become accustomed to being drunk and singing every night. It's like an old man who is about to die, without a little vitality. On the other hand, this Liyang City, whether it is the Qin people here or the merchants of those shops, all show a vigorous vitality, and such Liyang City has already shown a momentum of Jiaolong going to sea. ”
Ah Gui was a little confused, so he looked at the pedestrians around him, although he saw their smiles, as for the momentum of the dragon going to sea, he naturally couldn't feel it.
"That Liang City is compared to Liyang City?" Ah Gui seemed to be a little unconvinced.
When Wei Chen heard this, he laughed, and then stopped saying anything. In his heart, Daliang City, which is about to become the capital of the Wei State, will naturally be much better than here.
Ah Gui didn't continue to ask, followed behind Wei Chen, and continued to walk along the street, but his eyes kept looking at the pedestrians around him, and all kinds of buildings kept pondering.
It took a morning for Wei Chen and Ah Gui to walk through the streets and alleys of Liyang City, and after eating at noon, the two walked to the front of a house. Two quaint gates are tightly closed, and two lifelike stone lions are placed under the stone steps in front of the door.
This mansion is the Meng Mansion. It is of the same origin as the Meng family in the three clans of Mengxibai in Yixian County. The Mengxibai clan is considered a big clan in the Qin State, and its influence spreads throughout the Qin State. However, with the beginning of the Daliang Reform Law, the old clans of the Qin State led by the Mengxibai clan suffered a great loss. But the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse after all, and even though it suffered huge losses, the status of the three clans in the Qin State was still deep-rooted.
After explaining his intention to the porter, it didn't take long for a middle-aged man to stride out of the house and respectfully lead the two into the house.
After leading the two into the guest's room, the middle-aged man dismissed all the maids and servants, and ordered everyone not to come near here, and then pounced, knelt in front of Wei Chen, and said in a respectful voice: "Subordinate Meng Xinghua has seen Gongzi. ”
Wei Chen glanced at Meng Xinghua, who was kneeling on the ground, and then said lightly: "Get up." ”
After listening to Wei Chen's words, Meng Xinghua was still prostrate on the ground, and said with self-reproach: "The subordinates are not doing well, and I hope that the son will punish him." ”
Wei Chen sat up from the chair at this time, helped Meng Xinghua up with both hands, and with a smile on his face, he smiled at the middle-aged man who was older than himself and said, "Don't blame yourself, I see everything you do, yes, you didn't disappoint my son." ”
When Meng Xinghua heard this, a look of excitement appeared on his face, and his body trembled slightly.
Afterwards, Meng Xinghua personally served tea to the two of them, sat on the chair opposite Wei Chen, and looked respectfully at Wei Chen, who was drinking tea.
After a long time, Wei Chen put down the teacup and said to Meng Xinghua with a smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you are still you, and you haven't changed at all." ”
"It is a blessing for subordinates to be able to do things for their son." Meng Xinghua still said respectfully.
Wei Chen glanced at Meng Xinghua, then nodded. Through the observation just now, he was sure that the person opposite him had not changed his loyalty to him, which made him feel a lot more relieved. If you have the help of the Meng family, what you have to do in Liyang City will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
After figuring out this, Wei Chen didn't go around in circles with Meng Xinghua, and directly stated the purpose of his visit this time.
"I do have some things that I need you to do this time, I wonder if you want to?" Wei Chen said.
"It is within the subordinate's duty to share the worries of the son, and he must do his best to complete the things that the son explained." After Meng Xinghua finished speaking, his face became solemn.
After thinking about it, Wei Chen said with a playful smile on his face, "Do you know the battle between the Qin army and the Rongdi tribe?" ”
"I know a little bit about it, but I don't know what happened inside. Gongzi also knows that the Meng family is now being squeezed out by Daliangzao, and a lot of news is slightly clearer than the rumors. Meng Xinghua said apologetically.
Wei Chen nodded and continued to ask, "Then do you know the boiling young god of war that is rumored in your Qin Kingdom?" ”
Meng Xinghua thought for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "I heard some about this, saying that it was the son of the monarch of the Qin State who turned the tide and turned the tide of the war. Then he looked at Wei Chen on the opposite side.
Wei Chen's eyebrows twitched slightly, then he smiled without saying a word, continued to pick up the teacup from the table again, and took a sip of tea.
Meng Xinghua, who was sitting opposite, seemed to think of something, looked at Wei Chen in disbelief, and then his eyes became firm: "If Gongzi wants to assassinate this young god of war, then his subordinates"
Wei Chen shook his head with a smile, put the teacup back on the table, and said, "Assassinate the young god of war?" I'm not so stupid as to just use a little trick to give them a headache for a few days. ”
"Childe rest assured, no matter what happens, as long as Childe orders it, his subordinates will definitely complete it." Meng Xinghua said solemnly.
Wei Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you die, I just let you pass on a word." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper that had been prepared from his arms, stretched out his hand and handed it to Meng Xinghua.
Meng Xinghua respectfully turned the paper that Wei Chen handed over, then unfolded it, quickly skimmed through the content on it, showed a puzzled expression on his face, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Childe, is this?"
"It's okay, you just have to do what I say and spread the word out on this piece of paper." Wei Chen's brows moved slightly, and he said softly.
After listening to Wei Chen's words, Meng Xinghua said respectfully: "Son, rest assured, his subordinates will definitely spread the news according to Childe's instructions." ”
"Okay, as long as you do this well, my son will give you a great credit." Wei Chen put the teacup on the table and got up to walk towards the door.
"Why don't you stay for a while, so that your subordinates can entertain your son." Meng Xinghua's voice was sincere and said to Wei Chen.
Wei Chen waved his hand with a smile and said with a smile: "Next time, there will be more time in the future." If you have the heart, there will always be a chance. ”
"This tea is good, prepare some for me next time." Wei Chen said with a smile.
"Subordinates obey."
"If you're gone, don't send it." Wei Chen waved his hand indifferently and walked outside. And Meng Xinghua still respectfully sent the two to the gate.
Out of the gate of the Meng Mansion, Agui was still sighing at Meng Xinghua's loyalty, but Wei Chen's face had turned cold. Sensing the change in Wei Chen's face, Ah Gui chuckled in his heart.
"Agui, you said that the taste of bean curd at the city gate has not changed, why have people changed?"
At this time, Wei Chen's face was gloomy, and the words he said were not as gentle as before.
"Childe, could it be that this Meng Xinghua has a different heart for Childe? Just now, my subordinates didn't notice anything wrong. Agui replied with some confusion.
Wei Chen was silent, and the two walked towards the other family.
One after another. In the afternoon, Wei Chen took Agui to meet six people, and Wei Chen's face became worse and worse, until he saw the last person, his face was a little better.
Counting Meng Xinghua, he met a total of seven people, the first six of them were very respectful to Wei Chen, only the last official who guarded the city gate did not say anything to Wei Chen, there was no respectful look, and even threatened Wei Chen to report to the official tomorrow if he did not leave here, and arrest them.
In the evening, the two men left the city just before the gates closed and found a nearby village to stay.
"Childe, why are you in such a hurry to get out of the city?" Agui said with some confusion.
"Hmph, these half-hearted traitors, if it weren't for the reminder of the last little official, you and I might have been arrested by the soldiers of the Qin State tomorrow." Wei Chen replied calmly.
"Could it be that the little official wants to report to the official?" Agui was even more puzzled.
"It's not the last little official, but the six people in front, or a few of the six people." Wei Chen said with a sneer.
"What did the boy give them?" Agui asked anxiously.
"It doesn't matter, it's all inconsequential things, it can be done, if it doesn't work, it will have no impact on the overall situation." Wei Chen said in a calm voice.
Agui still can't figure out why.
"Agui, you have to remember that those who are respectful to you are not necessarily loyal, and those who shout and rebuke you do not necessarily change their minds." Wei Chen said meaningfully.
Agui shrugged his shoulders and decided not to go to such a profound question, if he was asked to think about this, it would be easier to let him go out and fight a few people and practice swordsmanship a few times.
At night, Wei Chen lay on the bed, looked at the starry sky outside the window, sighed, then closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
At least one more, that's enough. Wei Chen thought silently in his heart.
And Qin Chuan, accompanied by the old man, walked straight towards the mansion of Daliang Zaowei Martingale after coming out of the early shop, and then gently knocked on the copper ring on the door.
