Unexpectedly, the person who came to greet the team turned out to be Zhao Bao, the Pingyang Jun of Zhao State. This person is slender, yellow-skinned, about fifty years old, and looks a little in a trance, which makes Lu Yu feel like a modern addict.

When he saw Wei Mingji, this gentleman's eyes lit up and his face showed a lewd face, but that expression was only a flash, after all, a large group of janissaries and samurai escorts always had to behave decently.

looked at Wei Mingji again, and found that this woman also had spring in the corners of her eyes, and sure enough, there was an ulterior secret between the two.

Through the introduction, Lu Yu learned that this Pingyang Jun was the uncle of King Zhao and the elder brother of Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan. Unexpectedly, he personally came to greet Wei Mingji and went to Handan.

After two hours, we finally arrived in Handan.

After passing through the moat and the city wall densely covered with sentinels, Lu Yu stood on the land of the capital of Zhao State, and his heart was full of emotion.

Zhao Bing, who was training in the outer city, was as imposing as a rainbow and terrifying.

Pingyang Jun proudly showed off to Lu Yu and Wei Mingji: "Although the battle of Changping did cause my Great Zhao to suffer heavy losses, but now that the army has recovered to its peak, if the Qin people dare to come and commit it again, they will teach him to suffer defeat!" ”

In fact, not only Lu Yu, but even Wei Mingji clearly knew that since the Battle of Changping, the national strength of Zhao State has been greatly inferior to before, and everyone in Zhao State has heard Qin's color change, and his words are obviously to cover up his shortcomings, but it also exposes his fear of Thailand. Now who in the world doesn't know that the Qin people are strong, and if they really start a war, except for uniting other countries, it is difficult for any country alone to defeat the Qin State.

Pingyang Jun also said: "Benjun has prepared a hotel for the princess and General Lu to rest, and when Benjun sends someone into the palace to report to the king, he will send someone to bring the princess into the palace tomorrow." ”

changed into an ambiguous tone and said: "Now please ask the princess to go to the hotel with Benjun, and let Benjun set up a banquet for the princess tonight." ”

Wei Mingji's face flushed, and she said softly: "There is Lao Junshang." ”

Located in the center of Handan City, not far from the Zhao Palace, this private residence seems to have been specially set up to receive foreign envoys, and it is indeed similar to the mansion that Lu Yu broke into Wei Mingji in Chen County that day.

Except for Wei Cong and Zhang Wu, the rest of the guards and warriors who came with him were arranged in another hotel. But the only people who attended the dinner were Lu Yu and Wei Mingji.

Although Lu Yu knew that Pingyang Jun had "ulterior motives" for Wei Mingji, it was indeed a little late, and there was a good reason for what he said.

The dinner was held in the small hall of the hotel.

In addition, he was accompanied by several of Pingyang Jun's subordinates, all of whom were burly and had protruding temples, which made Lu Yu think of the martial arts masters written in the novel.

Pingyang Jun's seat is in the middle of the north of the hall, there are two seats on each side, Lu Yu and Wei Mingji each occupy one seat, and the other two seats are two men, one of whom is full of stubble, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is dressed appropriately and does not look sloppy at all. The other is holding a feather fan, and his breath is magnificent. Without introduction, Lu Yu didn't know what the identities of those two people were.

After a round of dancing performances, the dishes are served by the next generation.

Pingyangjun raised his glass and toasted to the two: "The general and the princess trekked through mountains and rivers, came from afar, and it happened to coincide with this cold weather, come, drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”

Then his eyes fell on Lu Yu, and said: "Benjun heard that there was a dragon hero in Daliang recently, who fought three hundred thieves in the burial of Longpo, and I met today, and sure enough, I am a talent, come, I will toast you again!" Then a servant came to pour wine.

Lu Yu heard him say this, as if he was praising himself, but his tone was not real, but of course on the surface, he respectfully raised his glass and said: "You have won the award, Lu Yu is really ashamed." ”

Wei Mingji said with a smile: "General Lu not only bought enough time for this princess, but also showed her superiority, and the name of Jiaolongxia has long spread among the three Jin Dynasty. Pingyangjun didn't know that when he was competing for swords in front of the emperor, General Lu defeated the Yanren warriors, and the light even overshadowed Long Yangjun, who was the first sword of the Great Liang. ”

Pingyangjun's eyes showed some disbelief: "General Lu's swordsmanship is even more powerful than Long Yangjun's?" ”

Lu Yu hurriedly said modestly: "Don't believe the fact that the outside is exaggerated, it's just that you are lucky, when it comes to swordsmanship, how can it be compared with the first sword of the Great Liang." ”

Wei Mingji smiled again: "The monarch can know that Lu Yu is a disciple of Xuanwei Zhenjun under the sect of Yunmeng Mountain. ”

Pingyang Jun still asked incredulously: "Just look at General Lu's age before he was established, if he only said that the disciples of Yunmeng Mountain were under his age, this gentleman could still believe it, but when the princess said that she was a disciple, it was a bit exaggerated." ”

Wei Mingji smiled faintly and moved her eyes to Lu Yu, meaning that this question was for him to explain in person.

Lu Yu had no choice but to smile and said, "What the princess said is indeed true." ”

Pingyang Jun suddenly said: "No wonder you can block three hundred thieves with the power of one person, it turns out that the rumors are not exaggerated." It's just that Xuanwei Zhenjun never shows up, and Benjun has always been a legendary figure. ”

Lu Yu thought to himself that Guiguzi may not have appeared in front of the world in person, but his disciples were widely spread all over the world, so his reputation had long been spread like a god, and even deified, so it was reasonable for many people not to believe in his existence.

I've heard before that if there wasn't Guiguzi, the Warring States Period might have ended hundreds of years early. Just look at his disciples in this era, each for his master, some as lobbyists, some as generals, some as strategists, these people fought with each other to conspire and contain, compiling the legendary deeds of the Warring States in the past few hundred years.

If it weren't for the encounter that day and the understanding of his theory of yin and yang balance, Lu Yu would indeed be the same as everyone else, only seeing the surface.

I only heard Pingyang Jun say again: "Speaking of swordsmanship, Ben Jun almost forgot to introduce two masters. ”

Then he introduced the two men in the other two seats to Wei Mingji and Lu Yu.

The one with thick eyebrows and big eyes is called Jiao Yunke, and the one with a feather fan in his hand is called Chu Heng.

Pingyang Jun said: "These two are both sword masters, and they are the distinguished guests of this gentleman, and there are five others outside, so it is inconvenient to come." ”

After the two of them got up and bowed to Lu Yu and Wei Mingji, Chu Heng said to Lu Yu: "Actually, speaking of which, there is also some relationship with Yunmeng Mountain Gate. ”

Lu Yuqi said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Chu Heng said again: "My seven brothers have traveled between the Three Jin Dynasty, and they have always had a cooperative relationship with Yunmeng Mountain Gate. ”

This sentence surprised Lu Yu.

These two people, as well as the other five, all serve the Yunmeng Mountain Gate, but why haven't they heard Zhang Wu mention it? Lu Yu only knew that Zhang Wu's senior brothers were indeed all over the country, and when he was in Majiagou, Zhang Wu's fifth senior brother and an old man in the armor stayed in Chu to assist Zhang Wu's second senior brother, while the ninth senior sister and the other two were sent to Korea to find their senior brother, and Zhang Wu and his party went to Wei and Zhao.

The third senior brother Hou Rong has already seen it, but Zhang Wu has not mentioned the connector in Handan, could these people be the person who connects the person?

I only heard that Jiao Yunke say in a rough voice: "It seems that General Lu should have just finished his studies and descended the mountain, so it is not surprising that he has not heard of it." ”

After saying that, he laughed.

Lu Yu was inexplicably angry, this guy was obviously laughing at his loneliness, but it was also true, because he had originally traveled to this Warring States, and this kind of trivial matter in the rivers and lakes must not have been seen in the history books.

At the moment, he just said lightly: "I have never heard of it in Xia, because General Ben cares about the major affairs of the world, and he really has no heart to remember some trivial things." ”

Jiao Yunke's face was angry, and he slapped his palm on the table, and was about to attack, but was stopped by Pingyang Jun with a look: "General Lu is the Zuo Zhonglang general assigned by the king of Wei to escort the princess to Handan, how can Mr. Jiao be rude." ”

This sentence seems to be relieving the siege, but in fact, it humiliates Lu Yu even more, to put it bluntly, you are just a sesame petty official, and you are just escorting the princess of Wei to visit relatives, not a general who goes to the battlefield.

Little Zuo Zhonglang, what's important in the world is your business?

Lu Yu was furious in his heart, but because Wei Mingji was on the side, it was not easy to attack.

Sure enough, Wei Mingji said faintly: "General Lu is now the person that my father, Xinling Jun and Longyang Jun fancy at the same time, it can be said that his career is unlimited, as long as it takes time, I am afraid that it is impossible to be a marquis." ”

Pingyang Jun laughed, changed his face and said: "Just now it was a joke, General Lu must not take it to heart, come, this gentleman will toast you again!" ”

Chu Heng, who had not spoken, also stood up and raised his glass to Lu Yu to apologize: "My brother speaks straightforwardly and does not understand etiquette, please don't blame him, please don't blame him." ”

Lu Yuxin said that at this time, except for Wei Cong and Zhang Wu, they were all Pingyang Jun's people, and if the relationship with this Pingyang Jun was not handled well, it might affect Zhang Wu's trip, so he also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Since the gentleman is joking, why should he blame him?" ”

At the moment when he raised his head and drank the wine, Lu Yu suddenly saw something, which almost made him choke on the wine.

There was a copper token hanging from Chu Heng's waist, in the shape of a tiger head.

Or Lu Yu doesn't know much about the painting style of their era, but this tiger head is very familiar, because it is the pattern inside the lid of the Seven Star Coffin!

What does the seven-star tomb outside Yecheng have to do with this white tiger pattern?

There must be something to do with this, and even Pingyang-jun is involved.

After the dinner, Lu Yu went directly to Zhang Wu.

Now that they have arrived in Handan, the state of Zhao, if they don't take this opportunity to convince Zhang Wu, the future Qin Shi Huang is likely to be in their hands.

After Zhang Wu listened to Lu Yu's description, he also had a question: "I have never heard of it, and even the third senior brother has not mentioned it, and the true identities of these people need to be further confirmed and verified." ”

Lu Yu said: "You must know that Xinlingjun may have sent someone here, we have to find a chance to get out, otherwise it will be very troublesome." ”

Zhang Wu nodded and said, "Actually, our connector in Handan is called Yu Xin, who is my fourth senior brother. This person is good at lobbying, and King Zhao is respected as the secretary, so I decided to take Xiaowen and Ling Fan to secretly join him first. ”

Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, you guys leave first, and then I try to get out then, so it won't be so easy to expose my whereabouts." ”
