In 351 BC, in the sixth year of King Qi Wei, the state of Lu attacked the state of Qi and entered Yangguan. In the same year, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei attacked the state of Qi again until Boling.

In 351 BC, Shang Ying led his troops to surround and occupy Guyang.

In 351 BC, King Hui of Wei formed an alliance with the Marquis of Zhao Cheng on the banks of the Zhanghe River and withdrew from the Zhao capital Handan. After the Wei State successively negotiated peace with other countries, it also forced the Song and Lu and other twelve vassal states to come to the court. And then! Concentrate forces to counterattack westward, recapture Anyi and besiege Guyang.

In order to gain time to make a second reform at home, Qin Xiaogong reconciled with King Hui of Wei in Tongdi in 350 BC, easing tensions between the two countries.

In 350 BC, in the twenty-fifth year of Zhao Chenghou, Zhao Chenghou died. The prince Zhao Yu and the crown prince Zhao Yu failed to compete for the throne and fled to Korea. So the crown prince Zhao Yu ascended the throne for Zhao Suhou.

In 349 B.C., the state of Chu invaded Qi, and Chun Yuyu was ordered to make Zhao, persuaded the king of Zhao, and got 100,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 leather chariots.

In 349 BC, in the first year of the Marquis of Zhao Su, the Marquis of Zhao Su seized Duanshi County, the fief of the Jin monarch, and moved the Jin Jun to Tunliu.

The Wei State did not decline because of the loss of the great general Pang Juan, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and without shaking the number of the Wei army, in addition to Pang Juan, there were still military talents.

For example! Longjia! It's just a great military talent. It's just that! He is steady, he does not dare to rush forward, he does not dare to make his own opinions, he is wise to protect himself, and everything obeys King Wei Hui. Outcome! It is hard to continue the military strength of Wei.

But! After several years of continuous wars, the state of Wei consumed a lot of national strength. King Wei Hui wanted to take advantage of the war and make up for the losses. Outcome! He was disappointed.

Later, King Wei Hui still learned from the nobles of Chu that the news of the sneak attack on Chu with the Korean alliance was revealed to Chu by Bai Gui, so he was even more jealous of Bai Gui.

King Hui of Wei not only blocked all of Bai Gui's commerce in the territory of Wei, but also sent people to assassinate everywhere.

So! Over the years, Baekyu's whereabouts have become more mysterious, and not many people know about them. Most people thought that Bai Gui had gone to Linquan Castle or Zhongshan Kingdom.

In fact! Bai Gui is still the same Bai Gui, where to run or where to run. In terms of business, there are many things that he still needs to come forward in person.

Especially with the Qin side, the contacts have become closer.

Shang Ying is his son-in-law, can he not care? Furthermore! Qin Xiaogong is a wise gentleman and has a lot of respect for him. Do business with the Qin State without losing money.

It's just that! The power struggle between the hereditary nobles within the Qin State was more intense than before.

With the deepening of the Shang Dynasty's reforms, the hereditary nobles of the Qin State became more and more unbearable.

So! The correspondence between the Qin State and Bai Gui has always been carried out in secret.

To what extent is it secret?

The secret is so secret that only Shang Ying, Qin Xiaogong and other henchmen know.

Bai Gui prepared goods for the Qin State, and still used the hereditary nobles of the Wei State as intermediaries, and did business with the merchants of the Qin State in the name of the hereditary nobles of the Wei State. Then, through the merchants of the Qin State, the goods were secretly transferred to the treasury of the Qin State.

In 349 BC, because a batch of important supplies had to be transported to Qin, Bai Gui had to return to Wei in person to take care of the hereditary nobility of Wei. Let the hereditary nobles come forward and transport the supplies to the Qin State.

If you don't promise hereditary nobility benefits, people won't dare to take that risk. Who is King Wei Hui? These hereditary nobles are aware.

In order to achieve your goal, you can only sell the materials to this hereditary nobleman at the lowest price, and then let him find a way to sell them to Qin at a high price. In the face of the huge price difference, this hereditary nobleman is naturally willing.

For people with power, doing this kind of thing is a pediatric, a gesture, and a tool for digging out water under the crotch.

If someone comes forward, they only need to buy the person in charge of the level. If the person in charge is his subordinate, he doesn't have to spend a penny.

No bribes, it's for nothing! It's true! If you don't make money, you're a bastard!

Everything went well, and Bai Gui was waiting for news from the Qin State in the inn of the Wei State. Because it's business, you have to get a "receipt" from the Qin State.

Receipt! That is, Qin Xiaogong's or Shang Ying's handwritten letter.

Only when you get a handwritten letter from Qin Xiaogong or Shang Ying, you can get the cost.

Or rather! You can get the profit and give it to this hereditary nobleman of Wei.

Buy, sell, buy, sell! Only when you buy something can you make a profit return and fulfill your promises. As much as he promised to give the hereditary nobleman, he must give it immediately.

Of course! It's just a formality. Bai Gui has the money on hand, and he can still get this money.

Not deliberately dragging it out and not giving, but! I want to bring the treasure from the Qin State.

The Qin State is very close to the Western Regions, and the Western Regions are rich in night pearls. Bai Gui waited for the Night Pearl sent by the Qin State, and then gave the Night Pearl to the nobleman of the Wei State.

There are two types of night pearls: one is a pearl that grows from a sea mussel in the sea, and a pearl that can shine. One is an ore produced in the Western Regions, an ore that can emit light.

And the real pearl of the night refers to this ore produced in the Western Regions.

In fact, it is called a luminous stone, not a night pearl. The Night Pearl is created, not natural. Just like jade, there is no natural jade, it is all made of jade.

Bai Gui waited in the inn, and did not wait for his subordinate shopkeeper, but waited for a thin young man.

This is a young man of medium stature, too thin to be skinny, and he is only twenty-one or twelve years old.

The dress of the thin young man is also very special, he is not wearing the costume of the Wei State at that time, but a very old one.

But! His eyes are very fine, and he sees things from one thing to another, like a thief.

Because Wei Guo was very strict, the inn where Bai Gui stayed could only receive strangers. That's the only way! so as not to arouse suspicion from the outside world.

If you stay in the country of other princes, you will not accept strangers at inns or hotels where Baekyu stays, so as to prevent accidents.

But not in Wei State! If your inn suddenly doesn't accept strangers, someone will report it and suspect that there are some important people living in your inn?

Isn't it Baekyu?

If the report is successful and Bai Gyu is caught, it will be a fortune.

Whether ancient or modern, there will always be people who have no moral bottom line. They don't care if you're a good person or a bad person, as long as you can get benefits, they can do anything. Not to mention that it was reported, it was to kill people and set fires, and they dared.

At that time, Bai Gui and several of his shopkeepers and guards were talking about Chun Yuyu of Qi State.

In 349 B.C., the state of Chu invaded Qi, and Chun Yuyu was ordered to make Zhao, persuaded the king of Zhao, and got 100,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 leather chariots.

The thin young man paused when he heard Chun Yuji's name.

Seeing this thin young man listening to the white official, it immediately aroused the suspicion of the shopkeeper.

"Guest! This way, please! ”

The shopkeeper walked over and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh!" Only then did the thin young man come to his senses. "I heard the name of an old man!"

And then! He followed the store up to the second floor, and the store arranged for him to live in an upper room on the second floor.

"This? This? Isn't this Zhuang Zhou? Zhuangzi! Zhuangzi! Why did you come to our Wei country. ”

A shopkeeper recognized the thin young man. He said in surprise as he bowed and bowed.

"You?" The skinny young man instinctively took a step back and asked, "How do you know me?" Return Zhuangzi? Am I Zhuangzi? ”
