However, it was said that the coalition army retreated, the war between the two sides subsided for a while, and Zhao Jia settled the affairs of Shenqi Land, which was already in the second year.

The eastern suburbs of the Great Liang of the Wei State.

The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the air is fresh, the environment is beautiful, it belongs to the private territory, if you put aside all the distractions to retire here, it is also a good choice.

However, for some people, it is intolerable to be denied the right to be placed here, or even to go out at will.

Zhao Jia, under the leadership of Wei Li, came to this place, and saw the Wei soldiers stationed nearby from a long distance.

"What are they?"

Seeing this, Zhao Jia turned his head to look at Wei Li, with a puzzled look on his face.

Wei Li was a little embarrassed when he heard this, although he was not ashamed of what King Wei had done to Wei Wuji, but he would not recruit King Wei in front of outsiders.

Wei Li immediately smiled and said: "The prince's status is noble, and he has offended the Qin State, and the king is worried that the prince will have no power and power after resigning, and will be murdered by the Qin people, so he sent heavy troops to protect the safety of the prince." ”

Zhao Jia was silent.

Although Wei Li tried his best to cover for King Wei, Zhao Jia had already guessed that King Wei was worried that Wei Wuji would be unwilling to do things, and on the surface, he was sending troops to protect Wei Wuji, but in fact, he was being monitored and placed under house arrest.

If Wei Wuji hadn't made any small moves, these sergeants would indeed have fulfilled their duty of protection and protected Wei Wuji's life.

If Wei Wuji wanted to do something that would threaten the throne of King Wei, these guards would also become a life-urging talisman that would take Wei Wuji's life in an instant.

"No wonder!"

Zhao Jia finally solved a doubt that had been haunting his heart for a long time.

Gongzi Wuji's reputation spread all over the world, even if he lived in Zhao for more than ten years, he could mix the wind and water, and was admired by the princes of the world.

Even if Wei Wuji's military power was seized before, with Gongzi Wuji's reputation among other countries, as long as he left Wei, no matter which country he went to, he would be treated as a guest by the monarch of that country.

Wei Wuji was completely unnecessary, indulging in wine every day and being depressed.

The current Wei Wuji is not that he doesn't want to leave the Wei Kingdom, but he has no way to leave, so he can only be confined to a manor that seems to have beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery.

"Stop!"

The two of them, surrounded by guards, were stopped by the Wei soldiers who were waiting for them before they arrived at the solemn gate.

They were fully armed, all holding sharp blades, vigilantly guarding against Zhao Jia and the others.

"I am under the edict of the king, and I will lead the prince of Zhao to pay homage to the prince Wuji, this is the edict of the king!"

Wei Li stepped forward and handed out the edict that had been prepared a long time ago, and the armor who took care of the manor checked that the edict was correct before letting him go.

Zhao Jia left his entourage outside the manor, but he walked into the manor together with Wei Li and Biancheng.

I have to say that the beauty of this manor, even if Zhao Jia thinks he has a lot of knowledge, he has not been able to find how many manors can compare with this place.

"It seems that although King Wei has put Gongzi Wuji under house arrest in disguise, he is also hindered by the reputation of the other party, and he does not dare to be too harsh."

The three of them walked together, and soon saw an old man with white hair coming towards them.

"Uncle Li, is Childe okay?"

Seeing this, Wei Li hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the old man, his tone full of respect.

This person known as Uncle Li is actually a disciple of the Wei family, but he followed Gongzi Wuji early and was willing to be his housekeeper, and he had no regrets for so many years.

"It's you!"

Uncle Li knew Wei Li, but he was a little surprised when he saw that the other party brought someone here.

"It's been a long time since you've come to visit Childe."

When Wei Li heard this, his face immediately showed shame.

Although he had the heart to come to visit Wei Wuji, he was busy with official business, and he couldn't get away many times, and the king of Wei forbade the officials in the court to visit Wei Wuji, so even if Wei Li had some power in the court, he didn't dare to offend the king of Wei for this.

Uncle Li seemed to know Wei Li's unspeakable secrets, but he was not aggressive, looked at Zhao Jia and the border city beside him, and then looked at Wei Li, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

Wei Li hurriedly introduced: "This is Zhao Guoping Qijun, the world-famous son Jia is also, this time he came to Wei Daliang, and specially applied to the king to come to visit Gongzi Wuji. ”

Uncle Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "But I didn't expect that Your Excellency is the unequaled son Pingqi Jun, who is rude and rude, and I hope that the son will not be blamed!" ”

Over the years, Zhao Jia has made a name for himself, and many heroes have given Zhao Jia ten words - the stranger is like jade, and the son is unparalleled.

This evaluation is very high, and it is even higher than the four princes of the Warring States.

Therefore, in order to show respect, some people will also directly call Zhao Jia a peerless son.

"Uncle Li has an overreputation, in front of Gongzi Wuji, how dare Jia call himself Wushuang Gongzi?"

Zhao Jia stepped forward to hold Uncle Li's arm and said, "What's more, Zhao Jia came uninvited, if there is any disturbance, I hope Uncle Li and Gongzi are not strange!" ”

Uncle Li laughed and said: "My son-in-law has always liked to make friends with the heroes of the world, and among the heroes of the world, the person my son-in-law wants to make friends with the most is the unequaled son." ”

"If my son-in-law learns that the unequaled son has come to pay a visit, he will definitely be very happy!"

Zhao Jia was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "I also admire Gongzi Wuji for a long time, and I will definitely talk about the affairs of the world with Gongzi here, drink and talk happily, and don't get drunk and return!" ”

For Wei Wuji's admiration, Zhao Jia did not have a false feeling.

If you are not born in this era, you will never know what kind of weight the four words Gongzi Wuji have.

Not to mention anything else, just Wei Wuji's cooperation with Qin, just let people send letters to the kings of various countries, and the countries all rushed to send troops to rescue, you can see Wei Wuji's reputation.

What's more, Wei Wuji still has a great favor for Zhao Guo.

If it weren't for Wei Wuji's risking his life to steal talismans to save Zhao in the past, I'm afraid Handan would have been conquered by the Qin State a long time ago, and there would be no Zhao Jia's achievements today.

Wei Wuji's great kindness to Zhao State, Zhao people all remember it in their hearts, and Zhao Jia is naturally no exception.

Therefore, Zhao Jia was so happy when he learned that Wei Wuji also wanted to befriend him.

I never thought about it, Uncle Li sighed slightly when he heard this: "I'm afraid that my son-in-law can't drink and talk with Wushuang son, and he won't return if he is not drunk?" ”

Zhao Jia looked puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

Uncle Li showed a sad look on his face, and said, "Childe's body has run out of oil, I'm afraid it won't last long!" ”

"How so!"

Wei Li and Zhao Jia were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Uncle Li was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Since my son-in-law was dismissed from his official position by the king and placed under house arrest in disguise, his son-in-law began to become passive and decadent, lost his previous ambitions, and indulged in alcohol every day, so that his health became worse and worse. ”

"This year, Childe finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell ill in bed."

Inside the bedroom.

Zhao Jia looked at Wei Wuji, who was sitting on the bed, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

At this time, Wei Wuji's hair and beard were mostly white, and the wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes were unimaginable.

The once heroic, gentle, and majestic son Wuji has become a sloppy and thin old man at this time, and he has lost his previous demeanor at all.

Seeing this, Zhao Jia forcibly held back the sadness in his heart, tried his best to put a smile on his face, and bent down and said, "Zhao Jia greets the son!" “

Wei Wuji motioned for Uncle Li to help himself up, and said with some self-deprecation: "Isn't the peerless prince very disappointed when he sees me like this?" ”

Wei Wuji's eyes were no longer as bright as they used to be, and had become cloudy and bloodshot, like the eyes of an old man trying to open wide before he died.

At this time, Zhao Jia couldn't help but think of a sentence in Qu Yuan's divorce: But the grass and trees are scattered, and the twilight of the beauty is afraid.

Not only are the beauties, but so are the heroes!

Zhao Jia took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, heroes have been like beauties, and they don't let the world see white heads. ”

"What's more, no one can escape the years, the fate, and the birth, old age, sickness and death."

"Childe is like this, Father Jia is like this, and so is Zhao Jia in the future!"

Some people say that the face is thin, and the same is true of famous generals, who often die on the battlefield before they see the white head, which is why there is a saying that "beauties have been like famous generals since ancient times, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world".

It's just that after seeing Wei Wuji's appearance, Zhao Jia has a different understanding of this sentence.

No matter how beautiful you are when you are young, when you grow old and have gray hair, no one cares about your appearance; This is true of beauties, and so are famous generals.

No matter how brave and good the famous generals are, when they are old and can't hold weapons, they can no longer charge into battle and capture the flag as before.

White hair represents the passage of time, the absence of the beauty's peerless face, and the end of the war career of a famous general.

Therefore, whether it is a beauty or a famous general, time is an irresistible pig-killing knife, which can make them incomplete.

"Since ancient times, heroes have been like beauties, and they do not make the world white."

When Wei Wuji heard this, he muttered in a low voice, repeating this sentence repeatedly, and his eyes, which were originally cloudy and bloodshot, seemed to become a little brighter at this time.

yes, it's not just him.

Everyone in the world is so fragile and vulnerable in the face of time.

In this case, what is there for him to be pessimistic and decadent?

Instead of feeling sorry for oneself before dying, it is better to simply look down on life and death, look down on the glitz of the world, and face death calmly.

That way, maybe you will die with more dignity.

"Li, help me make up!"

Wei Wuji turned his head to look at Uncle Li, and his face, which had been tense for a long time, finally showed a smile again.

Uncle Li looked at the long-lost smile on Wei Wuji's face, even if there were many wrinkles in the middle, even if this face was withered and fleshless, Uncle Li could still vaguely see the former demeanor of Gongzi.

The former son always has a bright and gentle smile on his face, this smile seems to have infinite charm and appeal, I don't know how many heroes and heroes are willing to die because of Wei Wuji's smile.

However, since the removal of military power and the disguised house arrest of Wei Wuji, there was no smile like that on his face.

In its place, there is boundless decadence.

In this way, Uncle Li looked at the bright and familiar smile on Wei Wuji's face, and he was actually a little stupid for a while.

"Li, Li, Li!"

Seeing that Uncle Li didn't move for a long time, Wei Wuji immediately turned his head and called three times in a row.

"Oh, I know Childe, I'll dress you up!"

Uncle Li wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes without a trace, quickly brought toiletries, and then said to Zhao Jia and the others with a little apology: "I'm very sorry, I want to wash my son first, and please stay away for the time being!" ”

Time passed slowly, and nearly an hour passed, and Zhao Jia finally saw Wei Wuji again.

At this time, Wei Wuji's hair was still gray, but his gray hair had been combed very neatly and supple at this time, and it was not as messy as when they first met.

Not only that, but Wei Wuji's withered face also became a little ruddy at this time because of the slight rouge.

Today's Wei Wuji, perhaps because of his makeup, or because of the change of mentality, is no longer the twilight and decadent hero, Zhao Jia can vaguely see a little bit of the past style from the other party.

"This is the real Gongzi Wuji!"

Zhao Jia took a deep breath, then got up and said, "The demeanor of the son has not diminished back then!" ”

Wei Wuji smiled and said, "Compared to the unequaled son, even when I was young, I was very inferior. ”

Zhao Jia's face immediately turned slightly red, and he hurriedly said: "In front of Wuji Gongzi, how dare Jia call Wushuang Gongzi, Wuji Gongzi don't mention the word 'Wushuang' again, otherwise it will really hurt me!" ”

When Wei Wuji heard this, he said with a straight face: "Your reputation and I are known to the nations, but most of the people I rely on are sought after by the disciples for recruiting talents, which is respected by the nations." ”

"In the end, there are too many false names mixed in these reputations."

"On the other hand, Jia Gongzi, although he is also famous among the countries, is not those false names, but the reputation of real and practical military exploits, the six countries of the Kanto region respect the reputation of Gongzi Jia, the son has a call, and the countries dare not obey."

"As for the Qin State, the color changed when he heard the name of Gongzi, and throughout the entire world and even more than a hundred years of history, there is no one like Gongzi."

"The name of Wushuang, Childe deserves it!"

Although Zhao Jia was surprised by Wei Wuji's affirmation of himself, he didn't dare to accept this name with peace of mind no matter what.

In the end, Wei Wuji smiled and said: "Since Gongzi is humble, then for the sake of convenience, I will call you Jia Gongzi, and you can call me Wuji Gongzi." ”

Both of them are sons of their own countries, and if they are not nominated when they meet together, it may be a little confusing.

Without thinking, Zhao Jia hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Gongzi is an elder of Jia, how dare Jia call Gongzi's name?" ”

In terms of generation, Wei Wuji's sister is the wife of Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, Zhao Jia's grandfather, Zhao Xiaocheng, and Zhao Sheng's nephew, so Wei Wuji should be regarded as Zhao Jia's great-grandfather.

It's really not appropriate to call him by his first name.

When Wei Wuji heard this, he smiled and said, "You and I are not ordinary people, why do you care about those false courtesies?" ”

"What's more, although I am indeed your great-grandparents in terms of generation, my actual age is not the same, and if you call me a child, it will also make me look younger, so I can't say that I will live longer."

Wei Wuji said half-jokingly, Zhao Jia was speechless.

After being silent for a long time, he finally nodded in agreement.
