Volume 2 The Name of the Handan War Dragon Zhen Zhao Wei Chapter 104 The Lady of the Plains (Middle)
In fact, when Mrs. Pingyuan summoned Lu Yu, Wei Cong and the Mu brothers had already come to Pingyuan Junfu.
This Pingyuan Jun's mansion in Handan City is not large, covering an area of more than 20 acres, but the real building is only five or six acres. In ancient times, there were few people and a wide land, and the mansions of princes and nobles often had hundreds of acres of land, perhaps the same was true of the Plains Mansion in Dongwu City, otherwise how could they live in the thousands of guests of Plains Monarch during his lifetime.
In contrast, it's more of a temporary office.
Seeing Lu Yu, the Mu brothers couldn't hide the joy in their hearts, because since they arrived in Handan, they were confined to the hotel, although no one restricted the freedom of the warriors, but because they had nothing to do all day, they stuffed the two brothers to the point that they wanted to hit the wall.
Lu Yu couldn't help laughing: "It's only been a day or two since we arrived in Handan, right, you can't hold it back?" ”
Mu He said with a bitter face: "The general doesn't know, after coming here, it's like being trapped in a small hotel in the big beam, and the villain would rather brave the heavy wind and snow to be cold outside." ”
Lu Yu laughed and said, "Fortunately, I asked Wei Cong to bring you here, right?" ”
Mu Chuan said: "It's not. If Commander Wei doesn't come again, we may have to defect, ha! ”
The crowd burst into laughter. Although he knew that his sentence was a joke, Wei Cong still said: "If you defect, not only will you lose Yanren's face, but you will also be kicked in the ass by me." ”
How do you know that Mu Chuan rolled his eyes and said: "We are now General Lu's people, what does it have to do with the Yan people, and losing the general's face is also a loss." ”
Lu Yu smiled bitterly: "Are you just here to embarrass me?" ”
Mu He rubbed Mu Chuan with his elbow, and said: "My two brothers are absolutely loyal to the general, even if we want to die, we will never frown." ”
Mu Chuan nodded in agreement.
Lu Yu commanded: "Now I have something I want you to help me do, but this matter must be done in secret, and there will be danger, are you willing?" ”
All three made a commitment at the same time.
Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "I need the two of you to cooperate with Wei Cong to help me find out where the proton of the Qin State lives within this day or two." ”
Wei Cong was surprised: "The strong country wants to treat the weak to come to each other, so the widow and the noble ministers are hostages, and the protons are hostages to the other party, and the treatment is generally very poor, but because it is related to a country, the protons will also be arranged in a very safe place, but I don't know why the general wants to investigate the place where the protons of the Qin State live?" ”
Lu Yu approached them and said in a low voice, "This matter is related to our trip and our fate. It's not a good place to talk, so let's find a suitable place, and I'll tell you more. ”
I don't know if it was because of the Battle of Changping, the population of Zhao dropped sharply, and during the day in Handan City, the flow of people was still relatively sparse, and even a little dull.
In the Battle of Changping, the Zhao people were killed by 400,000, and the entire Zhao State had only a large population at that time. It is conceivable that almost all men are now conscripted into the army to serve, so it makes sense that there are few pedestrians on the streets.
Wei Cong had already familiarized himself with the most lively area in Handan, and knew the most suitable place to speak, Lu Yu and the Mu brothers were completely unfamiliar with each other, so they put ducks on the shelves, and let Wei Cong open the way in front.
The four of them stopped in front of a very lively restaurant.
Unlike other places, this restaurant seems to have bought out the bustle of Handan City, with endless cars outside the gate, and people constantly coming in and out.
When the shop man saw that all four of them were dressed as samurai, he immediately greeted them and warmly invited them in.
Lu Yu asked, "Is there a box or something, we want to be quiet." ”
The shopkeeper put on a proud look and said, "How could it not be?" But there are indeed a lot of visitors today, and there happens to be only one private room left, uncle, if you come late, there really isn't. ”
Wei Cong smiled and said to Lu Yu and them: "This is the best restaurant in Handan, it is said that the food that can be eaten here is flying in the sky, running underground, and swimming in the water, all of which are wild meat that is difficult to see elsewhere." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly chimed in: "It's not! This master sees that you are knowledgeable, not a villain boasting, just say that the craftsmanship of the chef in this building is difficult to find the second place in Dazhao! ”
Lu Yu scolded with a smile: "Then why don't you hurry up and take us in to taste?" ”
This restaurant has two floors, and the downstairs lobby is full of loose tables, which are all full at this time. Lu Yu glanced at it and saw that every table was a match for men and women, although it was lively but not that noisy, of course, there were one or two tables that spoke loudly, but it would not affect other customers.
Those women are all wearing heavy makeup, their eyes are like silk, and the corners of their mouths are spring, or they are snuggled up to the arms of the man next to them to drink, or they add wine to others, which makes people wonder if this is not a restaurant, but more like a green building.
There are four private rooms on each of the second floors, on the east and west sides.
The shopkeeper led them to the innermost box on the east side and asked, "What do you need to eat?" ”
Wei Cong said: "I heard that your 'turtle cannon lamb' here is very famous, I must give it a try, and you can arrange a few special side dishes and two bottles of good wine." ”
The shopkeeper asked again: "Do you want to arrange a few girls to accompany you?" But today's business is too good, I'm afraid there are only two girls left......"
Lu Yuqi said: "You are not a Qinglou here, how can you also have this kind of wine business?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and said: "This uncle doesn't know, it's difficult to do business now, in order to attract more customers, the boss cooperates with the most famous Jinfenglou in Handan, these women are actually Hua Guli over there." ”
The four of them couldn't help but praise this boss for his business acumen and how to use the resources in the Qinglou to solicit customers for the restaurant.
Lu Yu remembered the "little bees" in nightclubs and bars in the 21st century, and it was these people who helped drive customer consumption to bring consumption to a high level. I didn't expect that in the Zhao Guo Restaurant two thousand years ago, some people actually thought of this kind of business and provided a "part-time job" for those flower girls in the Qinglou.
Wei Cong said: "We are just here to taste the delicacies of your restaurant, and the girl doesn't need it." ”
The shopkeeper nodded and responded: "In this way, please wait for a while, and the wine and food will come immediately!" ”
After he left, Mu Chuan said to Wei Cong: "I didn't expect Commander Wei to be so familiar with Handan. ”
Wei Cong laughed: "Actually, it's the first time I've come to Handan, but I've heard others talk about it before, so I came here to see and see." ”
The advantage of a private room is that as soon as the door is closed, it is isolated from the noise outside. Although the old buildings were not very soundproof, they were indeed a great place to talk.
The four of them chatted for a while, and only after the shop guys put together the wine and food they ordered one by one and exited, did Lu Yu say to them: "Long story short, we were sent to Handan this time, and we may have been involved in a big conspiracy." ”
Wei Cong was surprised: "This is also related to the location of the general's desire to get the Qin Proton Mansion?" ”
Lu Yu nodded and said, "The princess came to visit Mrs. Pingyuan, why did the king personally go to the temple to worship?" This is clearly a major event between countries, and this major event is not difficult to guess, as far as I know, countries are now discussing a plan to resist Qin, and Zhao Han is actually just two chess pieces of Wei. ”
Wei Cong said disappreciatively: "Now the strongest person in the world is none other than Qin, but the Qin people are wolves and tigers, and of course all countries must unite to resist it." But what General Lu said, even if Zhao Han is used by my Great Wei, isn't it also beneficial to my Great Wei? ”
Mu He took over: "General Lu's meaning is that we are secretly doing things for Great Wei now, and the villain guesses that this matter may be dangerous, so the general has already mentioned it when he is in the Pingyuan Monarch's Mansion." ”
Lu Yu secretly wondered that a few of them didn't know what they really meant, but it was not very convenient to say it at this time, Wei Cong was still Longyang Jun's person, and the front he was standing on was also on the side of Wei State, so he might not be able to tell him directly, so as not to miss the big thing.
Seeing that Lu Yu was silent, Wei Cong said again: "The current King of Qin was also hostage in Zhao before, if it weren't for Lu Buwei, I am afraid that he would have been executed by the Zhao people." However, at that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, leaving a concubine and a son in Zhao. ”
Mu Chuan said again: "I heard that this concubine was originally Lu Buwei's ......."
Lu Yu was embarrassed, he didn't expect this matter to be known to everyone in the Warring States.
I only heard Wei Cong say again: "Now that Qin and Zhao have reconciled, Zichu is the new King of Qin, and King Zhao is planning to send the mother and son back to Qin......"
Mu He suddenly interrupted him: "I know! The general wants us to stop this! ”
Wei Cong suddenly realized, and slapped his thigh vigorously: "I thought of it too!" ”
Lu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect them to misunderstand what he meant.
Wei Cong said again: "Now there is opposition from top to bottom in the Zhao State, so even the King of Zhao is in a dilemma, he is afraid of offending the Qin State, and at the same time he is afraid of the pressure of various countries. ”
Mu He continued with his words: "Therefore, our task is to find out where the Proton Mansion is, and then delay time to try to prevent the mother and son from returning to the Qin Kingdom!" ”
Wei Cong nodded and said, "That's right!" The anti-Qin plan is imperative, if they are allowed to return to Qin smoothly, Zhao will be equivalent to surrendering to the Qin people, and then the coalition will not have Zhao to join, we are just going to quickly find out where the Proton Mansion is! ”
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of weapons intersecting downstairs, as if someone was fighting below.
Lu Yu motioned for them to stop first and listen to what was going on downstairs.
I thought that it was not suitable to talk about it now anyway, so it was better to let them go and investigate, as long as they were restricted from only investigating and not doing anything, and get their hands on the location of the Proton Mansion.
But there are mistakes, at least now I know that Wei Cong's heart is towards the Wei State and loyal to Long Yangjun, so there are some things that can't be involved in him.
Different from Wei Cong are the Mu brothers, the two are loyal to Lu Yu, but they still still think that Lu Yu is also working for the Wei State, as long as they explain it to them at the right time.
The sound of the fight downstairs became more and more intense, and the four of them were curious, the Mu brothers had already gotten up and walked to the door, Lu Yu and Wei Cong glanced at each other, obviously wanting to see what was going on.
