Chapter 343: Ambition
The long night is hard to get rid of, and the cold fills every corner.
Wei Zhuang held his sword in one hand and watched a battle that took place in the mountains with almost no suspense.
A group of giant bandits wandering in Erniu Mountain, under the attack of the giants of the Zhurong Tribe, almost lost all the military strongholds.
Those giants who are three feet tall and hold long black knives are invincible. The weapons in the hands of those giant bandits could barely hurt them.
More than twenty giants on long-tailed giants charged forward, and the palpitating roar of their mounts alone was enough to scare off all the enemies in front of them.
Among the two or three hundred giants, a few of them held huge bows and arrows, and their arrows were more powerful than the power of the ballista, and with a single arrow pierced through the fragile walls of the humble camp, creating huge holes one after another......
Wei Zhuang retracted his gaze and looked up at the sky, the night was very miserable.
After Wei Zhuang received Zhao Shuang's order, he soon came from Korea with the reverse quicksand, and after solving the Xuan Moth Department, he stayed in Zhao Shuang's fiefdom and observed for a while.
The criteria for judging the effectiveness of a local governance are not exactly the same, for example, Legalism and Confucianism are completely different in some aspects. Confucianism emphasizes 'teaching', while Legalism emphasizes 'law', with different emphases and completely different views on a thing.
As a longitudinal family, Wei Zhuang absorbed the experience of his ancestors, but he was not confined to it, he liked to look at people's eyes.
From the eyes of the people in a territory, Wei Zhuang can see a lot.
Zhao Shuang migrated to this territory with 200,000 people, but there was no trace of resentment in the eyes of his people, and there was no resentment in the eyes of the original local residents and even some of the surrounding people.
On the contrary, in just half a year, this region has shown a thriving scene. It was originally an empty and idle land, but gardens, fields, houses, and ...... appeared. All the people lived here, and even if there was a case of adultery, they were quickly dealt with by the criminals.
It's not easy, at least in Wei Zhuang's opinion.
How long has he been in Korea? Seen a lot of pickled things? He is also accustomed to the darkness hidden beneath the temple of prosperity. Just here, from top to bottom? There is no sense of Weizhuang's familiarity.
Even if you have cooperated with Zhao Shuang for a long time? Even served as the leader in the quicksand he created, but that hint of competition in Wei Zhuang's heart? But it never faded. This is the instinct of being a disciple of the Ghost Valley, even if Zhao Shuang has never really entered the Ghost Valley Sect.
"Ahh
Sneezing behind you? Wei Zhuang turned his head? I saw Zhao Shuang walking over lazily.
"I said, Ah Zhuang, we want to meet on this cold day, why don't you go to my house, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Shuang's complaint is still so familiar? Wei Zhuang smiled slightly.
"Has the life of fine clothes and food made you fall?"
"Isn't it nice to be depraved?"
Zhao Shuang doesn't care? But he saw Wei Zhuang pull out the shark teeth, his figure turned back, and a sword waved, coming straight towards his vital point.
The sword intent on Wei Zhuang's body was very pure, and Zhao Shuang's eyes opened suddenly? The figure retreated, dodging the fatal blow.
"What do you do?"
After Wei Zhuang's blow? He didn't attack, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Tell me what you're capable of? There is no credibility in what you just said. â
Although Wei Zhuang knew that Zhao Shuang would fly a sword in a hundred steps, he didn't care. Because of a powerful swordsmanship? It's not the most important factor in making a master.
Cultivating to the realm of transformation? Is it a simple sword? It's also incredibly powerful.
And Zhao Shuang in front of him, the instinctive reaction in the crisis, Wei Zhuang saw it, and he had a basic understanding in his heart.
"I'm really convinced of you, have you tried to do this? If I hadn't gotten away and was hurt just now, wouldn't you feel guilty in your heart? â
Wei Zhuang rolled his eyes, and as the shark teeth sheathed, his gaze shifted to the battle in the mountains that was nearing its end.
"As one of the masters of quicksand, if you can't even dodge that sword, there's no need for me to continue to cooperate."
Wei Zhuang said very arrogantly, and then asked.
"The matter on the purple girl's side, I have solved the remaining troubles for her. But I'm afraid you didn't bring me here for that, right? â
"Of course!"
Zhao Shuang smiled, walked up, and stood side by side with Wei Zhuang. Although the wind is very strong, the weather is very cold, and the whistling sound in his ears is endless, but Wei Zhuang, who is dressed in a big coat, has a demeanor that has not diminished.
"I'm sure you've already guessed it."
"Lu Buwei?"
Wei Zhuang muttered softly. In the past, he had benefited a lot from LĂź Buwei's command. But today's LĂź Buwei is not as good as it used to be, and there are many crises around him. In the Qin State, many people wanted to kill him.
Even if the power in LĂź Buwei's hands is still strong now, he is moving towards the opposite side of the entire Qin State.
Wei Zhuang looked at Zhao Shuang, he knew that Zhao Shuang was the leader of the clan and was naturally opposed to Lu Buwei.
"You want to put him to death?"
"No, I want to help him."
Wei Zhuang had a smile on his face, this answer was beyond his expectations, but it was interesting enough.
"The reason why you lured Han Fei to Qin, I finally understand a little now. It's just that let him win over Keqing, once he gains power, he will definitely reduce the power in your hands. â
"On the balance of power, balance is more important than gain or loss. Sometimes it seems to be reducing power, but in fact it is preserving more power. â
Wei Zhuang smiled, as if he understood what Zhao Shuang meant.
"So you're going to help Lu Buwei?"
"If the situation continues to develop, and the forces around him are withdrawn little by little, then at that time, Changpingjun can cause Lu Buwei to die. Now Lu Buwei is afraid that he also feels it, but he has nothing to do. â
Zhao Shuang glanced at Wei Zhuang, but the smile on the other party's face was deeper.
"I heard that the clan within the Qin State is brewing a conspiracy to eliminate Keqing, but the leading few people suddenly died down, it should be your handiwork!"
"It's normal to want to get an official position. But it is stupid enough to completely abolish the guest secretary system formed in the entire Qin State since Shang Jun, that is, to find death. â
"Stupid enough!" Wei Zhuang glanced at Zhao Shuang, "In the eyes of those clans, their enemy is Lu Buwei; As long as LĂź Buwei falls, then what follows will be logical. But in this way, the court will be torn apart, which will not be beneficial to the entire Qin State. â
After a pause, a snowflake fell on his forehead, Wei Zhuang looked at the dim sky and asked.
"What do you want me to do?"
"If Lu Buwei wants to retreat, he can only take advantage of this time. I want you to see him. If he is willing to quit, I am willing to help. â
"And at what cost?"
"He has all the assets in Guanzhong."
Wei Zhuang's face showed a hint of imperceptible loneliness.
"Is that all?"
Zhao Shuang was a little surprised and glanced at Wei Zhuang. He seems to have been expecting Zhao Shuang to have greater ambitions. It's just that I can't find it.
"I'll help you get that through."
After a long time, Wei Zhuang said softly.
