Wei Wei lowered his voice and said, "Since the last time I returned from the mission to Yiqu, Qin Jun ordered me to hurry up and train the cavalry, and requisitioned a large number of horses, grain and grass from all over the country. In order to prevent leaks, heavy sentry posts were also placed on the border, apparently preparing for war with Yiqu. ”

Su Qin suddenly realized and said, "No wonder I entered the border of Qin and encountered a strict search. ”

He thought of the two Qin generals he met on the road, presumably Wei Wei had been the chief general of the Qin army for many years, and probably knew them, because he asked: "I also fought with a young general wearing a purple and gold crown and a stout guard at the foot of Qishan, looking at their fighting posture, it may be related to what the general said, right?" ”

Wei Wei replied, "What the gentleman said is very true. The young general's name is Sima Cuo, and the guard's name is Wei Ran. Sima Cuo is a rare combat talent among the younger generation of the Qin State, he respects me very much, and he is very studious, and in time, he will definitely become a generation of famous generals. ”

Wei Wei was full of praise for the purple gold-crowned young general named Sima Cuo, but he didn't appreciate Wei Ran so much, and commented: "As for Wei Ran, he is the half-brother of Qin Jun's favorite concubine Mi Bazi, and he is quite brave in battle, but he is so happy and flashy. ”

Su Qin heard Wei Wei praise Sima Cuo very much, and felt that he could hear the praise of this person from Wei Wei's mouth, it seemed that he really couldn't be underestimated, but his martial arts were still a little worse in the end.

Of course, Su Qin understands: A military general does not have to be high in martial arts, the key is to look at the command ability, just like Wei Wei, the martial arts are average, but the command and combat ability is first-class.

Seeing that Su Qin was thoughtful, Wei Wei thought that he was unwilling to talk about military affairs, so he changed the topic and asked, "What does Mr. Su think about Brother Ling's marriage, do you want me to be a matchmaker and propose to Gao Sheng?" ”

After Su Qin heard this, he was in line with his heart, he bowed down for a long time, and said happily: "Then our brother will thank the old general for his kindness, so it is no better, with a respected elder like you as a matchmaker, how can Gao Sheng refuse casually?" ”

He looked at Su Dai again, and he was overjoyed to see him, and kowtowed to Wei Wei several times in a row.

While the four of them were talking, suddenly the Wei family came in hurriedly from outside and reported to Wei Wei, saying that Qin Jun's envoy had come to the door and wanted to enter the palace to read Qin Jun's edict to the general.

When Wei Wei heard this, he guessed that there must be something urgent happening, and he was a little annoyed by the military chatter, and his heart was unhappy, but he was a courtier after all, how can he endure the king? Therefore, he still asked the family to invite Qin Jun's envoy to enter the mansion.

The envoy entered the hall, opened Qin Jun's edict with an expressionless face, and did not ask Su Qin and the others to avoid it, so he read it out, and Wei Wei knelt on the table to receive the edict.

After listening to the edict, Wei Wei couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that Qin Jun actually wanted Wei Wei to bring his family's music and dance class into the palace to perform two days later. Is such a thing to be declared by edict? No wonder there is no need for Su Qin and others to avoid it.

After the envoy left, Wei Wei straightened up, smiled bitterly, and continued to chat with Su Qin and the others, he said that Qin Jun was really making a fuss.

However, Su Qin didn't think so, he reminded Wei Wei: Qin Jun announced by edict that he would bring a music and dance class to the palace to perform, it was because he was afraid that he would not go, so it was so formal, isn't there something hidden in it? Therefore, it is better to be careful.

Wei Wei wanted to invite Su Qin and others to enter the palace together, but Su Qin politely refused, he thought that if he followed the music and dance class into the palace, it would only make Qin Jun unhappy, and maybe there would be another conflict. Wei Wei thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he didn't force it.

Two days later, Wei Wei took the music and dance class into the palace to perform, Su Qin and the others were waiting in the Wei Mansion, and the three of them had increased their experience after leaving Yunmeng Mountain for a year, so there were many topics to exchange, and everyone was very interested.

While the three of them were happily talking, the family member of the Wei Mansion reported outside the door: "Mr. Su, my lord has invited the three of you to discuss the matter.

When the three of them heard the report from Jiading outside, they immediately stopped talking, Su Qin noticed a few omissions in the case, it turned out that it was already late at night, he thought to himself: "Wei Wei and the people from the music and dance class only returned from Xianyang Palace so late!" Now he is in a hurry to invite us to discuss matters in the middle of the night, something must have happened. Su Qin had an ominous omen in his heart.

When he came to Wei Wei's study, Su Qin saw that Wei Wei was not sitting on the seat, but was pacing on the ground anxiously.

When Wei Wei saw Su Qin coming, he grabbed Su Qin's hand and said a little eagerly: "I'm really sorry to disturb you in the middle of the night, but the old man has encountered a tricky matter, and he has to trouble Mr. Su, so I specially invite you to come and discuss." ”

Wei Wei said, inviting Su Qin and the others to sit in the guest seat. He continued to say: "I thought that Qin Jun had changed his temperament and liked music and dancing, but it turned out that he was not at all, he had taken a fancy to Wei Jia and wanted to summon her into the palace. ”

When Su Qin heard this, he was shocked and replied: "That Yingsi doesn't look like that lustful person, why does he like Wei Jia alone, is he suspicious of Wei Jia's identity?" ”

Wei Wei thought for a while and said: "I don't think he saw Wei Jia's identity, he said that he liked Wei Jia's Qingli and wanted her to stay in the palace to accompany him." The attitude is very sincere, and he also said that he will double the compensation for the old man. ”

Zhang Yi and Su Dai had already learned the identity of Wei Jia's sister and brother from Su Qin, Zhang Yi was straightforward and asked anxiously: "Then General Wei, did you agree to Yingsi?" If Wei Jia enters the palace, but the sheep enters the tiger's mouth, how can you be reluctant? ”

Wei Wei replied: "The old man also made a mistake at that time, if it is a simple maiko, it doesn't hurt to give it to Qin Jun, but Wei Jia is the daughter of the old man, and she was reunited after more than ten years, how could the old man let her go to the palace to suffer, I just want to be with a pair of children, and those glory and wealth don't care about it at all." ”

Su Qin and the others all nodded in agreement, Su Qin faintly felt that Qin Jun Yingsi had already known the life experience of Wei Jia's sister and brother, so he nominally accepted her into the palace as a concubine, but in fact, he had an extra hostage on hand, and even restrained the general Wei Wei, so that he did not dare to disobey Qin Jun's orders.

Su Qin thought for a while, and in order to avoid Wei Wei falling into the anxiety of being unable to sleep and eat, he decided not to say his thoughts for the time being. Therefore, he just asked: "Then Yingsi is afraid that he will not give up, how can the old general refuse him?" ”

Wei Wei stared at Su Qin, quite embarrassed, and said: "Alas, the old man was also forced to be helpless, so he cut first and then played, and took Mr. Su as a shield. ”

When Su Qin heard this, he didn't understand, looked at Wei Wei in surprise, and thought, "What kind of shield can I do?" ”

Su Dai heard the general meaning, pursed his lips and stole fun. Wei Wei saw Su Qin's stunned face, and simply said: "The old man lied to Qin Jun and said that Wei Jia is engaged to Mr. Su, and you already have the status of husband and wife. Then Qin Jun really let the old man go. ”

After Su Qin heard this, he was really not mentally prepared before, he never thought that things would come to this point, although it was only a "temporary shield", Su Qin's face was still red.
