When I opened Chen Zheng's room to look, I saw that it was clean and tidy, and there were no signs of abnormality, but the bamboo slips of the Tao Te Ching were also missing.

Wei Wuji and Huang Xie waited until late and did not see Chen Zheng return, and the people sent out to find him did not bring back any news.

Huang Xie had no choice but to say goodbye first, and when he left, he was stunned to leave the beauties of Chu State.

According to Huang Xie, when Xiong Wan, the crown prince of Chu State, was a hostage in Qin State, today's Prime Minister Fan Cheng was also down-and-out and unwilling. At that time, the two met Lu Buwei, who often traveled back and forth to Xianyang, like a fire in winter, and it was a gentle relief, and it was a charcoal in the snow, and the relationship between the three of them was very good.

Now that Xiong Wan has returned to Chu and become the king of Chu, he often misses Lü Buwei. Since the beauties of Chu were rejected by Mrs. Huayang, they can't take them back again in disgrace, maybe they will be given to Lu Buwei, and the king of Chu will be even happier? !

Sending Huang Xie away and settling down the beauties of the Chu Kingdom, Wei Wuji tossed and turned, worried that something had happened to that big brother Lu, and he didn't sleep for a while in a daze until the early morning of the next day.

When he arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Qin State, there was another crowd of people.

As a bamboo slip was shaken out, as expected, Wei became the winner today.

Wei Wuji walked into the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the envy and jealousy of the audience outside the venue.

Fan Sui, who was tired, met Wei Wuji, who was tired, and both of them yawned and had worried eyes.

"Xinlingjun, I am like this because of the state affairs of the Qin State, what is your situation?"

Wei Wuji covered his mouth and yawned, just because I came to Xianyang yesterday, I can't sleep well as soon as I go outside, but I still sleep peacefully at home!

Fan Sui also yawned as if he was infected: Xinlingjun arrived in Xianyang yesterday, why don't you let people inform me, I don't see anyone who has to see Xinlingjun, who made me a native of Wei!

Wei Wuji waved his hand, now Prime Minister Fan is under one person in the Qin State and above ten thousand people, how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Prime Minister, it is precisely because I am from the Wei State that I should abide by the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so as not to let outsiders talk irresponsible and ruin Prime Minister Fan's reputation.

Hahahaha! Fan Sui laughed, worthy of being the right-hand man of King Wei, can consider this layer for me Fan Sui, Xinlingjun's virtuous name is really worthy of the name! You and I are both happy people, so you can avoid those long-winded polite words, what is the matter with Xinling Jun coming to Xianyang, you might as well say it bluntly.

Wei Wuji saw Fan Sui get straight to the point, and his heart was also happy, since he was dealing with smart people and smart people, there was a lot less cumbersome, and he went straight to the point and went straight to the point.

"Prime Minister Fan, I heard that the Qin State is now preparing for war because of the breach of contract by the Zhao State, and will attack the Zhao State in the near future, is this true?"

"Hahahaha! Is Xinlingjun here for the King of Wei, or is he here for your brother-in-law, Pingyuanjun? ”

"Of course, I came for the Wei State. Since I am a courtier of Wei, I should put state affairs first. If the Qin State attacks the Zhao State on a large scale, the King of Wei is worried about harming our Wei State! ”

Fan Sui was suspicious in his heart, but he smiled lightly on his face and said: King Wei is too worried. At the beginning, my Qin State captured the wild king and divided the Shangdang, which was a matter between the Qin State and South Korea, but the Zhao State coveted the advantage of the Shangdang, and even wanted to get it for nothing, how can there be such a good thing in the world! Your brother-in-law, Pingyuan Jun, also persuaded King Zhao to send troops to Shangdang, which led to the Battle of Changping. If I hadn't interceded in front of King Qin, General Bai Qi might have captured Handan and destroyed Zhao by this time. Now it's good, the six cities that Zhao promised to deliver have become flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, so that I can't raise my head from King Qin. Xinlingjun, you come to evaluate the theory, so is the Zhao State killing himself? Only by leveling Handan City can I eliminate the hatred in the hearts of King Qin and me.

"It seems that the Qin State is going to attack the Zhao State, is it true?"

"Huh! If you think it's true, it's true, and if you think it's false, it's false. If Qin and Zhao start up fighting again, I hope that King Wei and Xinling Jun will watch from the sidelines, and don't be confused for a while and want to help Zhao, but bring the disaster of destroying the country to yourself! ”

"Then can you ask, when will the Qin State send troops?"

Fan Sui's eyes rolled twice, what's this? I still have to discuss with King Qin, of course, when the time is ripe.

When Wei Wuji heard it, he got it! It seems that don't want to say anything from Fan Sui today, this old fox's tongue is circling around, more slippery than a loach, and it is useless to ask any more. However, Brother Lu's affairs also have to take the opportunity to test it.

"I heard that Prime Minister Fan Cheng has some friendship with Lu Buwei, a businessman who defends the country?"

Fan Sui frowned, and then changed his expression.

"Hahahaha! Today, Xinling Jun came to my Prime Minister's Mansion, it seems that it is not just for the affairs of Qin and Zhao! As far as I know, Xinlingjun and Lü Buwei also have a very close relationship, otherwise how could he have turned to Daliang on the way to South Korea in Zhao Guo! ”

"Prime Minister Fan Cheng is really well-informed, and he can't hide anything! I wonder how long it has been since Prime Minister Fan has seen him? After Wei Wuji finished speaking, he observed the subtle changes on Fan Sui's face, but wanted to see if Brother Lu's disappearance was related to Fan Sui in front of him.

"Well, let me think about it, it seems that my old brother Lu has never seen each other since he came to Xianyang once with Su Qin's younger brother named Su or something."

"Prime Minister Fan is talking about Su Dai?"

"Yes, yes, that's the one who plays with the tongue. My brother Lu somehow got involved with this surnamed Su, can you learn it?! The last time we met, Brother Lu was very different from before, and he could wrap you around in a few words, and I was miserable by him. I was going to send someone to invite him to Xianyang to talk about it, hehe, this kid is either playing with a bow and arrow or missing from playing, and he can't be invited. Could it be that Xinling Jun knows the whereabouts of my brother Lu? ”

Wei Wuji thought about it for a while, let's not say that Brother Lu is in Xianyang first, and then try to talk about it.

"Why does Prime Minister Fan want to invite him to Xianyang? Could it be that my brother Lu has offended the prime minister in something? ”

"Hey! What is offended is not to be offended. I saw that he followed that Su Qin's younger brother named Su or something, as if he had changed a person, for fear that he would be damaged by that Su or something. Later, I heard that he opened a river in Zhao, Wei and South Korea, and was really taken to the ditch by that Su or something. That's right, that person's name is Su Dai, and he specially takes people into the ditch. Everyone in the world knows the relationship between my Fan Sui and Brother Lu, and now that I am the prime minister of Qin, he has been filled with indulgence in his head, and I also want to invite him to Xianyang to enlighten him, lest he fall deeper and deeper and go astray! ”

Wei Wuji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thought to himself, I thought you were going to throw Brother Lu into the oil pot and cut it with a thousand knives!

"I just listened to Prime Minister Fan's words, and I really have a sincere affection for Brother Lu! No wonder it is rumored outside that when Fan Cheng came to Xianyang at the beginning of the year, he and Brother Lu were like brothers, it seems that the friendship formed in the tribulation is more valuable! It's not a secret, now Brother Lu is in this Xianyang City, and I came here with him after a chance encounter with him in Hanguguan, but he suddenly disappeared yesterday. ”

Fan Sui didn't have any special reaction after hearing this, and said casually: I also know a little about this matter. I heard that he came from Handan to Xianyang and was detained by General Bai in Shangdang, so I sent someone to answer him, but the two doormen sent there were also missing.

Wei Wuji heard Fan Sui say it so lightly, and he was also indignant in his heart, Prime Minister Fan only knew that Brother Lu was detained by General Bai Qi, didn't he know what experience he had in Hedong County?

Oh~! I also blame Wang Ji for having a lot of things, relying on the fact that he brought me from Wei to Xianyang back then, and now he is becoming more and more arrogant and presumptuous. He deceived Brother Lu into going to Hedong County to torture him, and even came to me to ask for credit, which is really self-defeating and stupid, and I have severely punished him. What kind of identity Xin Lingjun is, he doesn't have to worry about such a person.

Wei Wuji hated Wang Ji as soon as he thought of him, and he would definitely find an opportunity to avenge Brother Lu in the future, but it was inconvenient to show it in front of Fan Sui at this moment.

In front of Wei Wuji, Fan Sui ordered his subordinates to send orders out and search for Lü Buwei's traces in Xianyang City.

Wei Wuji told Fan Sui to inform himself as soon as he got the news of Brother Lu, and then he gave up.

Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Qin State, Wei Wuji sat in the carriage and was restless, only feeling that there was a breath in his chest that he couldn't go up or down, and unconsciously opened the curtains of the carriage and looked out, maybe he could see a surprise among the pedestrians outside the car?!

After walking about three or five miles, suddenly, something flashed in the air, and an attendant outside the carriage covered his head and said "oops", and then heard a faint sentence from the ridge of the roadside: "Oh, throw it off!" ”

The attendants outside the car shouted, "There are assassins!" One by one, he mounted his horse, drew his sword, and looked up the ridge.

Wei Wuji came out of the carriage, and his entourage hurriedly persuaded him to hide inside, fearing that someone was planning to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he only gathered around the carriage and did not dare to leave an inch.

How could Wei Wuji not listen to the advice, and said with a relaxed face: "We are now in Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, and the Great Qin Law is very powerful, how can anyone dare to do anything wrong here." As soon as he finished speaking, he inadvertently saw a sackcloth dumpling fall to the ground.

Wei Wuji stepped over and picked up the sackcloth dumplings, and when he opened them, he saw that there was a small stone wrapped in it, and the words "Lou Slow" were written crookedly on the linen.

Slow down? Wei Wuji stood there and thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt shocked in his heart, remembering that his brother-in-law, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, had told him that Lou Xuan had sent someone to assassinate Brother Lu, and now he had fled to the Qin State. Could it be that Brother Lu's disappearance has something to do with this person?

The more Wei Wuji thought about it, the more certain he was about his guess, but Xianyang City was so big, where could he find this building?

"Turn the carriage, Prime Minister of Qin's Mansion, quick!" Wei Wuji didn't dare to delay his efforts any longer, and hurriedly urged the carriage to turn back the way it came.

The gate guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Qin State saw Wei Wuji getting off the carriage in a hurry, and he was also staring at him with big eyes, why did he just leave and come back? was about to step forward to ask, but he didn't expect Wei Wuji to rush in with his sleeves flicked up, shouting: Prime Minister Fan, Prime Minister Fan!

Fan Sui was discussing things with a few people inside, when he suddenly heard Wei Wuji shouting loudly outside, waved his hand to let those people retreat temporarily, stood up and greeted him.

"It's rare to see Xinlingjun so panicked, and just said that he would abide by the rules of my Prime Minister's Mansion, and he broke in in a blink of an eye, it is really impermanence and life is like a play! Hahahaha. ”

Wei Wuji didn't care about playing with Fan Sui, he told the scene just now, and took out the linen strip and handed it to Fan Sui.

Fan Sui looked at the words on the linen strip and was also happy, Xinlingjun made a big fuss, right?! Maybe Prime Minister Lou heard that Xinlingjun came to Xianyang but didn't go to visit, so he threw stones to lead the way?

Wei Wuji was stunned, Prime Minister Lou?

Ha ha! Didn't Xin Lingjun know that this Lou Chuan had served as the prime minister of the Qin State?

Whether he has served as prime minister in the Qin State is none of my business, you send someone to lead the way for me, and I will take someone to check it out.

Fan Sui looked at Wei Wuji who also lost his temper, and casually beckoned a waiter and said: Go, lead Xinlingjun to Lord Lou Xuan's mansion. This Lou Yan is really, lying at home and wanting to see Xinlingjun, and using such a trick, he really has him!

Wei Wuji didn't bother to say more, and hurriedly urged the waiter to get into his carriage and drive away in the dust.

When I came to the door of Lou Yan's house, I saw that the door was closed and there was no sound around.

The waiter of the Prime Minister's Mansion knocked for a long time before someone opened the door and poked his head out, and heard that it was Prime Minister Fan who sent someone to lead Xinlingjun to visit, and the person closed the door and left a sentence: Wait a while.

Who knew that there was no movement after waiting, and Wei Wuji shivered from the cold.

Those entourages shouted and scolded, in this cold day, they dared to let my family Xinlingjun eat closed-door soup, how could it be reasonable! Just as he was about to go up and slam on the door, it seemed as if someone was peeping inside, and then it opened.

"My lord Lou is in poor health, please Xin Lingjun enter the mansion." The man waved his hand and beckoned inside.

Wei Wuji glanced at his entourage and led the two of them in, but the attendant of the Prime Minister's Mansion took his leave and went back to Prime Minister Fan.

Lou Shu was supported by two house slaves, and walked out tremblingly, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth as soon as he spoke, and he was a little excited when he saw Wei Wuji: Old, old, it's not okay to be old! I think that when I and the former king Zhao Yonghu rode and shot, decades have passed now, and when I think about it, it seems to have happened yesterday. This man is old and remembers the past clearly, but what happened yesterday has been completely forgotten today, you say it is strange. The world is yours today! The first king has passed away, and I'm afraid that my old bones will be thrown in the Qin Kingdom. Alas! Don't say it, this person won't listen to the call when he is old, nagging, this problem is not good, people like to listen to it, it's okay, if you don't like to listen, you have to be scolded behind your back for being an old immortal. I don't know if Xinling Jun came to the cold house, what do you think?

Wei Wuji thought to himself, you still have the face to mention Zhao Guo, and now you are hiding in Xianyang and waiting for death, which is also cheaper for you!

"I came to the door today, first to hear from Prime Minister Fan Cheng that Mr. Lou is now in retreat in Xianyang, so he came to visit. Second, I want to find someone. ”

"Looking for someone? What did Xin Lingjun say about this? ”

"As far as I know, my eldest brother Lu Buwei Lu is now in the old gentleman's mansion, the old gentleman won't hide him, right?"

Lou slowly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said with an innocent face: The old man is now a person waiting for death, and he has no to do with the outside for a long time, and it is really strange that Xinlingjun is looking for someone to find me here. The old man has met him once, and now I can't remember what he looks like, how can he be here with me?! If Xinlingjun has nothing else to do, the old man won't keep you, oh yes, remember to greet Pingyuanjun for me.

Wei Wuji turned his head to look at the two entourage, then turned back to Lou and said slowly: I don't know something, and I want to ask Mr. After the Battle of Changping, Mr. rushed from Xianyang to Handan, persuaded King Zhao to deliver the six cities, and sent people with Zhao Hao to intercept and kill my brother Lu, and even chased all the way to South Korea, and now he is hidden in Xianyang. Is the old gentleman in his heart the Qin State? Or Zhao Guo?

How do you know that Lou's eyes widened with anger, and his expression trembled with excitement, the old man was sent to the Qin State by the first king back then, and it was for Qin Zhao to repair for decades, what the old man did was not only for the Qin State, but also for the Zhao State, how can you understand it as a doll! Zhao is the gateway to Qin's eastward advance, and it is also the barrier of the six eastern countries, as long as Qin and Zhao repair, the world will be safe. Zhao Dan didn't listen to the old man's words, and the day when the Qin State broke the city was also the time when the Zhao State was divided by the other five countries. Xinlingjun, the two of you are looking around in the east of my mansion, do you have to search my place?!

Seeing that Lou Xuan was so excited, Wei Wuji was even more suspicious in his heart, and stood up and said, "Since the old gentleman defends his innocence, then what's the harm in letting me wait and see?!" After speaking, he waved his hand to the two people behind him, and he wanted to look around for clues.

"Bold! Unreasonable! Although the old man is in hiding, he can't allow your doll to be presumptuous in my house! As soon as Lou Yan's voice fell, more than a dozen family members suddenly appeared in all directions, all holding sharp swords, and surrounded Wei Wuji and the three of them.

At this moment, something flew in from nowhere, and landed right in front of Wei Wuji, and everyone looked at it, why was there an extra sackcloth dumpling on the ground?
