Xianyang.

The Weishui flows to the east.

The riverside water pavilion, surrounded by green trees, seems more and more quiet in this cold winter wind.

A fresh fish is fished out of the river and quickly sent to the kitchen, where it is cooked by the best chefs here.

Lü Buwei sat alone, with a position in front of him, but the guards who followed him didn't know, who was this for?

The cold wind does not blow into this exquisite water pavilion, but you can enjoy the river view in it.

The charcoal fire emits light smoke and the bronze stove emits heat, filling every corner.

"Xiangbang, the fish is coming."

The chef of this water pavilion still has the same attitude towards Lu Buwei as before, and there is no change in the slightest.

Lu Buwei nodded, but did not start to move his chopsticks.

The cook's brows furrowed slightly, a little incomprehensible.

"Xiangbang, this fish is not delicious when it is cold."

Lu Buwei didn't care, he just poured himself a glass of wine.

"It's okay, I'm waiting for the guests."

The cook responded, a little strange, who is so big that he dares to let Lu Buwei wait?

Even though he felt strange, the cook did not continue to wait, but returned to the kitchen and continued to prepare the rest of the dishes.

Lü Buwei drank the wine and seemed to be very interested. Until, with a thud, a shadow fell from the tree.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

A large number of guards gathered, but then a second and third figures fell from the trees beyond the water pavilion.

Lü Buwei waved his hand and motioned for his men to retreat. Soon, the man he was waiting for appeared in front of him.

"At such a time, Xiangbang is still so interested?"

Wei Zhuang appeared in the house, looking at the old man in front of him, his eyes were complicated.

"You've got some good men."

Lu Buwei smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for Wei Zhuang to sit down.

The people who collected the net and Changping Jun's subordinates were all staring at Xiangbang, but Xiangbang's interest was unexpectedly good. Wei Zhuang really admired it at this time! ”

"These are the people I have for you. If you can't fix it, then the conversation doesn't make sense. ”

Wei Zhuang's face was solemn, and he was cautious in the face of a strong enemy in the face of the person in front of him.

"So does Xiangbang know why I'm here?"

Lu Buwei touched his beard, his face a little complicated.

"When you followed him, the old man was actually very puzzled. But now, it's somewhat clear. The old man had tremendous power in his hands, but in the encirclement and suppression of everyone, he was helplessly defeated. ”

"As long as time passes, the power that followed the old man in the past will leave little by little. Until, I had nothing. ”

Wei Zhuang was silent, even as a Zongheng family, he didn't know how to speak in the face of a somewhat frustrated old man at this time.

"As for Zhao Shuang's request, I can agree."

Wei Zhuang was surprised.

"Sangbang knows what he wants?"

Lu Buwei touched his beard lightly and smiled slightly.

"I'm leaving, it's useless to keep the property in this pass, and it doesn't hurt to give it to him."

Speaking of this, Lü Buwei's frustration was swept away, and it was replaced by a sense of competition.

"When the old man entered Qin alone, he was full of spirit; Today is leaving, but it is depressed. It's just that the old man is not convinced. ”

Wei Zhuang looked at Lu Buwei and asked softly.

"What does Sangbang want?"

"Zhao Shuang is really powerful! It's just that, on the contrary, the old man is not afraid. is also confident that compared to him, he will not lose. It's just that he took the trick of fighting without a fight. ”

Zhao Shuang did not walk in front like Changping Jun and compete with Lu Buwei. In fact, he hid behind and didn't seem to be involved in the tense battle in the Xianyang court during this time. However, the impact behind the scenes is huge.

But such a trick hit the key point.

"He dug the pit, and now he is the one who wants to save me. When the old man thinks about it, he is angry in his heart, and he can't wait to gather his troops and horses, fight with them, and learn from the shame of the past. But the old man also knew that this was impossible. ”

Lu Buwei shook his head, others didn't know, but he knew how much damage Zhao Shuang had. But after all, Lu Buwei sighed.

"That's it! The reason why the old man is here to see you is still a doubt in his heart. Why did you leave in the first place? ”

Wei Zhuang raised his head, a little surprised in his heart.

"Isn't it normal to leave a ship that is about to break?"

Lü Buwei poured himself a glass of wine, but he didn't think so.

"Ordinary people may be like this, but you are Wei Zhuang."

Wei Zhuang never thought that Lu Buwei knew him so well.

"Because he's Zhao Shuang!"

A simple answer made Lu Buwei, who was pouring wine, stop the movement in his hand and look at Wei Zhuang.

"The old man thinks he knows you very well, but he doesn't know you well enough. You and Ganie seem completely different, but the old man thought you were the same kind of people. But now I find that you are still different. ”

Lü Buwei's eyes were very clear, as if he could see everything clearly. But Wei Zhuang didn't understand the deep meaning.

For the first time, Lu Buwei also poured a glass of wine for Wei Zhuang, looking very happy.

"The old man understands that after withdrawing from Xianyang, it seems to be a way to live, but there is not much time left for the old man."

Lü Buwei drank a glass of wine, slowly stood up, and looked at the distant scene.

"After all, the future does not belong to an old man like me."

Wei Zhuang looked at the glass of wine in front of him, but he never drank it. He stood up and left without a sound.

After a long time, Lü Buwei turned around and looked at the wine lord full of wine, with a chuckle on his face.

"Zhao Shuang, the old man has lost, but you may not win."

.............................

Huayang Palace.

"Wei Zhuang and Lu Buwei?"

In front of the Empress Dowager Huayang, stood the cook in the water pavilion during the day.

"What did they say?"

"Wei Zhuang's murderous spirit is very strong, and his vigilance is also very high, and his subordinates dare not move forward. It's just that at the end, when Wei Zhuang left, I heard Zhao Shuang's name. ”

The Empress Dowager Huayang thought slightly, seemed to understand a little, and waved her hand.

"Let's go down!"

The hall was empty, and with the sound of footsteps in the distance, only the Empress Dowager Huayang sighed slightly.

"Did Lu Buwei admit defeat!"

Former allies and enemies, when he admitted defeat, the old rival Empress Dowager Huayang was very complicated in her heart.

One era is over, but another is coming.

In this coming era, there are too many things that the Empress Dowager Huayang can grasp. She is a native of Chu and the daughter-in-law of the Qin people.

For a long time, the contradictions brought about by the dual identity were once put aside with the peace talks between Qin and Chu. But as King Qin grew up, the Empress Dowager Huayang knew how powerful this young king was, and he would eventually take the times in a new direction.

And all this, the Empress Dowager Huayang is actually unwilling to face.

She sighed slightly, as if recalling the glory of the past and sighing for the splendor of today.

"Zhao Shuang? Good means! ”
