Chapter 64: Substitutions
October is the first year of the Qin State, and the first sacrifice of the year, but this year's first year of Xianyang has nowhere to be sacrificed. Thinking that the ghost with the surname Win was going to starve, Zhao Zheng was extremely displeased, this was his incompetence. Kong has a powerful empire, but it can't defeat the Chu State the size of a county, and the Chu people attacked Guanzhong, occupied the national capital, and burned the Taimiao, which is the greatest shame since the Qin State.
The king was displeased, and the whole of Xianyang was unhappy, even though the Qin army had already occupied Handan and seized most of the Zhao land. But on this day, Zhao Zheng's laughter came from the Qutai Palace.
"She begs for a widow? She begs for widowhood? Hahahaha...... "The blood-red Wei Ben suit, and the tall Zhao Zheng let out a burst of laughter. "What happened to this concubine, this concubine after she became King Jing? She is still a widow. ”
The news of Yingdu could not come directly from the state of Chu, and it had to be transferred to Daliang. His beloved was snatched away by King Jing, although this is an era without a concept of chastity, Zhao Zheng is still displeased, and one day he will take Mi Xuan back.
"The king, the minister thinks that it is beneficial for me to stay on the side of King Jing." Wei Yu said. "Jing people only recognize the old, the good people are in Yingdu, and the Hou spy is also good. If there is a major event in Jing Kingdom, you can also learn about it from the people of Mi Liang. ”
"Good!" Mi Xuan is in Yingdu, and the Hou spy of Qin can operate in Yingdu and even the palace as Mi Xuan's relatives and servants, which is extremely beneficial to Qin. "The widow swears to take back King Jing, and the widow wants to ......"
Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed with fierceness, but he thought that Mi Xuan was his beloved, and it was natural for him to share the bed. If you really want to insult King Jing with this, then since the day of the wedding, King Jing has shared the bed with his beloved, isn't it insulting himself?
The anger ruminated in Zhao Zheng's heart, and after thinking about it, he still suffered a loss, so he could only endure it. Wei Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him like this, and mentioned the major event that weighed more than a thousand catties: "The minister heard that there are people in Wei who can get Jingren artillery." ”
Artillery is the official name for a witchcraft, and Wei Yu is not called a witchcraft now, but artillery. But Zhao Zheng hasn't turned this corner yet, Wei Yi said that Zhao Zheng didn't react for a long time, and when Wei Zheng was about to say more, he slapped one hand on the case and said hurriedly: "What do you mean?!" ”
"The minister heard that there were people in Wei who could get Jingren artillery." Wei Yu said. "Of the Jingren divisions, only the Ying division has artillery, and the rest of the divisions only have twenty divisions, which belong to the Qi country, and the Xiang division is temporarily staying; The ten gates of Wei are the ...... obtained by Wei to help Chu."
Before Wei Yi could finish speaking, Zhao Zheng interrupted, he was concerned about artillery. "Why can the Wei people get the Jing people's witch weapons? If the Wei people can get it, can I get it in the Qin country? ”
"If the Wei people tell me, I can get it." Wei Yu spoke his judgment.
"Who is Wei?" Zhao Zheng asked again. He was spinning a jade ring in his hand, spinning faster and faster.
"Wei State Great Merchant Bai Yi." Wei Yu said. "I think it's ......"
"What does he want?" Zhao Zheng didn't want to hear anything and thought that since he was a businessman, there was a purpose for doing things. "Although the gold of Shaofu was stolen by the Jing people, there are still countless treasures in the palace, if he can give the widow a witch weapon, the widow should not skimp on the treasure gold and jade."
"Your Majesty," Wei Yi smiled, "he wants people, don't treasure gold and jade." ”
"People?" Zhao Zheng didn't expect that behind Bai Yi was the State of Chu, "Who is he asking for?" ”
"Tell the king, he wants Xiong Qi." Wei Yi's smile did not change after speaking, but it was a little dry, and he was wary of Zhao Zheng's anger.
"Xiong Qi?!" Zhao Zheng's face turned cold, and he really wanted to be angry. There are only ten witch weapons in the entire Wei Kingdom, and Bai Yi's ability to get them is obviously related to King Jing. Xiong Qi is the elder brother of King Jing, he was sent to various places by five horses, and King Jing wanted to collect his remains and bury him.
"No!" Zhao Zheng, who connected the joints, spit out these two words.
"King, Xiong Qi is dead, and there is no punishment for the big crime, so why don't you hand it over to Bai Yi in exchange for a witch weapon into Qin. Jing people beat me, all with witchcraft. If I also have a witch weapon, my morale will be greatly boosted and the morale of the people will be greatly reduced. Why can't he enter Fangcheng, pull Yingdu, and capture King Jing one day? ”
Wei Yu could hardly believe his ears when he heard the message from the beam. He can understand it in exchange for Mi Qi, but he doesn't understand it in exchange for Xiong Qi's corpse, wife, concubine and children, and in exchange for the Hou spy of Chu State in prison. King Jing must be crazy? It's a worthless thing.
The word witch weighs more than a thousand catties, if it weren't for these two words, Zhao Zheng would have been furious. His face kept changing, and for a while Xiong Qi appeared in his mind who admitted Tongchu but did not admit his guilt, and for a while he thought of the scorched earth of Xianyang Beicheng, and for a while he remembered those Qin soldiers who cut off their left toes, his square mouth was tightly closed, but his chest and abdomen kept inhaling and exhaling, like a boiling kettle.
Emotionally, he was reluctant to give anyone to Jing Guo, but in essence, he had to give it. The witch weapon is like an artifact for the Qin army, and the current Qin army, as long as they hear that it is against the Jing people, they all leave their last words with the heart of death, and then go into battle full of sorrow. And if the Qin army also has witch weapons, even if those witch weapons are all fake, as long as they are launched, the Qin army will be greatly boosted and will feel that they have hope of victory. Can you do without such a weapon?
"Yes." From between his teeth, Zhao Zheng squeezed out the word with difficulty. After speaking, he was afraid of being deceived, and asked urgently: "Give me a witch weapon?" ”
"The adults change one cannon, the villain changes half a cannon, and the concubines and servants don't count." Wei Yi said the price that Bai Yi offered. "Xiong Qi, one wife, six sons and daughters, these five people, five guns. Jing Ren Hou spy, more than 5,380 people did not die, but in fact, ......"
The state of Qin encouraged the accusation of adultery, and the result of the accusation of adultery was that all those who rubbed the border with the state of Chu were accused, and they were all considered to be the spies of the Jing people. Of course, this can't all be Jing Hou spies, and Wei Yi can't be sure how many Jing Hou spies there are, he said: "Bai Yi will send people into the Qin State to recognize each other, they are Jing Hou spies, redeem them, and the ministers don't know how many people." I'm afraid of a few people, a dozen people"
"So only a dozen?" Zhao Zheng was reluctant before, but now he dislikes the fact that there are too few witch weapons in exchange. "How many people are there?"
In addition to Mi Li, the Mi clan also had Mi Wu, a clansman who was not in Xianyang at the time. Unlike Xiong Qi, the Mi clan has been bred in the Qin State for four generations since Mi Rong, and there are many Ding mouths. Only some of them have been removed, and the rest is no less than those who have been removed.
Zhao Zheng pinned his hopes on the Mi clan, but Wei Yi said: "Bai Yi wanted to change the Mi clan before, but then he said that he would not change the Mi clan, and the minister didn't know what he wanted. ”
"Don't change the Mi clan?" Zhao Zheng was puzzled. "Mi Qian is the father of the concubine, and Mi Wu is his uncle, why not change?"
"I don't know." Why he wanted to change it before and now he doesn't want to change it, Wei Yi couldn't figure it out. "Bai Yi still wants to change, wants to change ......"
"Who do you want to change?" Zhao Zheng pondered the reason why Jing Ren didn't change his position.
"I want to exchange the corpses of Jing Ke and Lu Jujian." Wei Yu said.
"Widowed!" Zhao Zheng suddenly glared. More than a year after the assassination, he still had lingering palpitations, and he didn't even allow others to mention the names of Jing Ke and Lu Jujian. King Jing wanted to change Jing Ke and Lu Jujian, and he asked for artillery for one purpose, both to encourage his own morale.
"I think I should be allowed." Wei Yu said. "No, Kanto doesn't know that the two are evil? Definitely. The old, weak, women and children in Kanto know the two of them. Rather than this, it is better to talk about the car split, and its corpse is five pieces, and it should be exchanged for five cannons, and the rest will be from what it says. ”
Jing people Hou spy can't determine the number, maybe it's just a trick of Jing people, after entering Qin, only a few people or not one person, even Hou spy doesn't recognize each other. If so, there should not be a few artillery pieces, less than the Wei State. If the car is split and the corpse is divided, Xiong Qi, Jing Ke, and Lu Jujian can be exchanged for fifteen artillery pieces, and Xiong Qi's wife, son, and daughter can be exchanged for four, and there are at least nineteen guns. Nineteen guns are still few, but if they can be imitated, it will be different.
Wei Yi planned so, and Zhao Zheng actually planned the same. Most of the weapons of the Qin State were copied from the Kanto region, and most of the craftsmen were also from the Kanto region. According to the description of the witchcraft, it is a cylinder, similar to a large clock, which is not difficult to make, and the real key is the witch medicine.
Thinking of the witch medicine, Zhao Zheng asked again: "The witch weapon is like this, what is the witch medicine?" ”
"One witchcraft has a hundred witch potions." Wei Yu replied. "It is said that the Wei State is also a witchcraft with a hundred witch medicines."
"A hundred?" Zhao Zheng, who had no concept, didn't know whether it was more or less, he felt that this matter should be discussed by Lord Bai Di and Yan Wuyi, especially the matter of imitation. Only by imitation can the Jing people get rid of the control, so that the Qin army also has witch weapons.

"King Qiyu, Bai Yiyan, the Qin people don't want to get more artillery, but want to get the magic of witchcraft." The snow finally fell to the south, and Xiong Jing, who returned to Yingdu, had never been to Lanhua Palace, and spent most of his time in the construction of the mansion, the Jutie Mansion, and the shipyard. As soon as Nao Xin received the reply from the Qin people, he hurried over to report, and at this time Xiong Jing was in the Jutie Mansion shed.
"Potions? Hum. Xiong Jing sneered.
"Bai Yiyan, if you get the magic of witchcraft, the king's uncle can also return it." What has happened in the past ten days, Nao Xin is clear. The queen actually wants to kill the king for the sake of the family, which is a capital crime. If you really want to study it carefully, then the Chu country is going to be in chaos, and now the palace is preparing for the king's wedding, but the queen has become a sinner.
"Tell me, witch medicine is unique to my Chu country, there is nothing in Qin, and it is useless to tell me about witch medicine." Xiong Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yui." Nao Xin hurriedly wrote it down, and he said again: "Bai Yi said again: The corpses of the people who were torn by the car are all over the five places, and they should be replaced with five cannons, otherwise they will not be replaced." ”
"Five places?" Xiong Jing sneered again, he was not afraid that the Qin people would ask for a high price, but he was afraid that the Qin people would not change. "Yes."
"There are more than a dozen Hou spies, so more than 30 guns are needed, which is too much." How much Hou Spy was arrested, I know what he knows.
"What about more?" Xiong Jing was disdainful, he nunu mouthed, and motioned to a fifteen-pound cannon not far away that was expanding the chamber on the boring machine. "What if more than a dozen cannons crack and explode after a dozen cannons?"
"In this way, the Qin people should say that I have no faith." Nao said something for some reason.
"This Bai Yi's letter is not the letter of the Chu State. What does it have to do with me? Xiong Jing was slightly angry. For more than ten days, he has been manic.
