Chapter Seventy-Six: The Seven Peerless Halls
Night was approaching, and it was drizzling. Wei Zhuang stood alone on the small and waited for the people of the Seven Peerless Hall. This is the Ruyi Fang in Xinzheng City, and the oldest Fang City in Xinzheng is in this area. The former dignitaries and nobles had already moved to the newly built and palatial new city, and as soon as they left, the Xinzheng errand officers, who had no sense of responsibility, would not come here much. Over time, this place has become a place under the feet of the Son of Heaven, naked words, completely controlled by the people of the rivers and lakes.
Decades ago, when the army of King Qin Zhaoxiang entered the city, it was cleared and rectified once. However, with the death of King Zhaoxiang, the army stationed in the whole territory of New Zheng and now Korea withdrew to the territory of Qin, and with the joint efforts of the old Korean nobles and a group of Jianghu people, the whole of Korea was out of the control of Qin. And this old market has once again become a paradise for people in the rivers and lakes.
Wei Zhuang waited for a quarter of an hour, and several characters came to the bridge. The leader was a little older, about fifty or sixty years old, holding an oil-paper umbrella. His beard and hair were gray, and his face was covered with these hideous scars. The leader waved his hand to his subordinates and said, "You all go down." A few of his men went to the distance and silently watched the direction of the small bridge.
The leader came to Wei Zhuang and said, "Boss Wei, he is really a punctual person!" β
Wei Zhuang squinted at the person and said coldly: "You are not very punctual. I've been waiting for you here for a long time, Tang Qi. "Tang Qi is the name of the old man in the lead.
Tang Qi smiled and said, "Hehe! Boss Wei forgive me, people are old, their legs and feet are not as dexterous as before, and it is inevitable that they will be late for a while. β
Wei Zhuang didn't dwell with him about the time issue, and asked bluntly, "What did you call me here?" It's not as simple as catching someone just for the scorpion gate! β
Tang Qi smiled and said, "Boss Wei is Boss Wei, I can't hide anything from you." It's not that simple. β
Tang Qi asked tentatively, "I heard that Boss Wei recently teamed up with Ninth Prince Han Fei and had a very unpleasant quarrel with General Ji Wuye, I don't know if this is really the case?" β
Wei Zhuang said: "That's true, what does that have to do with the Scorpion Gate?" Could it be that the scorpion gate took refuge in Ji Wuye? β
Tang Qi laughed a few times and said, "Boss Wei is right, the Scorpion Gate is taking refuge in Ji Wuye. And he has already brought Ji Wuye's power and stretched his hand into this Ruyi Fang. β
After hearing this, Wei Zhuang sneered and said, "Hmph~! To put it bluntly, I'm worried that you will be swallowed up by the Scorpion Gate, so I hope that things will help you produce the power of the Scorpion Gate, right? β
Tang Qi didn't object after hearing Wei Zhuang's words, but just said, "That's what I said, but this matter must also be good for Boss Wei, right?" After all, now that Boss Wei and the Ninth Prince have joined forces to deal with Ji Wuye, every time Ji Wuye's power expands, there will be a danger to you. And once Ji Wuye pretended to use the power of the Scorpion Gate to completely control the area of Ruyifang. Boss Wei can't get the information of the whole of Xinzheng from here anymore, can he? β
Wei Zhuang said: "Your reasons are not enough to convince me. You can know that I cooperated with Han Fei, and I must also know that Ying Zheng lives in Zilanxuan, and takes good care of Zilanxuan. With this great god here, no matter what happens in the end, no one in the entire South Korea will dare to make a move against Zilanxuan. Why should I bother to take care of your little Seven Peerless Hall? β
After Tang Qi heard Wei Zhuang's words, he hurriedly said, "This is the second thing!" I've heard someone say that Boss Wei has recently gotten very close to Wu Anjun of the Qin State. You don't know if it's true? If so, how close? β
After hearing this, Wei Zhuang said vaguely: "The first place Wu Anjun went to when he came to South Korea was Zilanxuan. And for more than a month since his big ship was destroyed, he has been living in Zilanxuan. For the girls in Zilanxuan, I like them very much. When Wei Zhuang said this, although he never mentioned his relationship with Ying Zheng in this regard, it really made Tang Qi have to think that some kind of agreement had been reached between him and Wu Anjun Ying Zheng.
Tang Qi frowned, hesitated for a moment, bowed slightly to Wei Zhuang and said, "In that case, can Boss Wei help in the next favor?" β
Wei Zhuang glanced back at Tang Qi and didn't say anything. Tang Qi continued knowingly: "Boss Wei must also know that when Korea split from the Qin State, we people also helped. Now that Qin is powerful, it could annex Korea at any time, as it did decades ago. At that time, I hope that Boss Wei can say a few more kind words in front of Wu Anjun. β
After Wei Zhuang heard this, he frowned and said, "You want to take refuge in the Qin State and let me introduce you?" β
Tang Qi smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything explicitly. But after all, when they helped the old Korean nobles to fight against the Qin State, they just felt that the Qin State was in chaos, and they would no longer continue to be strong from now on, and at that time, with the relationship between these Jianghu figures and the Korean clan nobles, they would be able to live happily for a hundred years, or even forever. But no one expected that since a LΓΌ Buwei had newly integrated the large and small forces of the Qin State in just a dozen years, he would bring the Qin State back on the right track. Moreover, since the civil strife in the past few decades has not shaken the strong national foundation of the Qin State!
Now these people, on the one hand, the Korean royal family is becoming weaker and weaker, and on the other hand, the Qin State is looking at South Korea from the side. You must know that the Qin State has never been a place where a generous person can say anything. "Old Qin, blood is not shed, death is not a truce" has never been an empty word, look at the current Wei State, Chu State, Zhao State, which one was not majestic? What if you take advantage of the civil strife in Qin and rush to take advantage? The ancestral graves of the Chu royal family have been dug! The whole body of Wei State trembled when they heard the word "Qin State" now! Zhao Guo? How many men are left?
Wei Zhuang let out a long breath and said: "This is not easy to do, Ying Zheng has never been interested in people in the rivers and lakes, and there is only one Wei swordsman Gai Nie by his side." However, can you have Gai Nie's ability to be valued by him? β
Tang Qi asked, "Gai Nie?" What is this man capable of? β
Guigu Zonghengmen people, has always attached great importance to identity, in the past, when Wei Ying came out of the Qin State, he never said where he was from (the plot of the first part of the Great Qin Empire), Zhang Yi and Su Qin even made up a set of loopholes, but made the world not believe that they were the disciples of Guiguzi. Therefore, the identities of Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie are extremely secret among the Six Kingdoms, and only a few people know about them. Otherwise, Tang Qi would not have asked this question.
After Wei Zhuang heard Tang Qi's question, his brows tightened, although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, he still said truthfully: "In terms of swordsmanship, it is still half a step better than me. β
Tang Qi was speechless for a moment after hearing this, he still knew a lot about Wei Zhuang's skills. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called "Boss Wei" so respectfully. Since it is half a step better than Wei Zhuang, this is indeed something that Tang Qi can't compare. After a while, Tang Qi could only say: "I still hope that Elder Wei will do a lot of maneuvering." β
After hearing this, Wei Zhuang just said: "The price of this house will not be low." β
Tang Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Then Boss Wei, look at it, the entire Seven Peerless Hall, is it enough for the price?" β
Wei Zhuang looked at Tang Qi, turned around and left, and said as he walked, "Over there at the Scorpion Gate, I'll go there." β
