Although Lu Buwei's move was expected by Qin Qing, she still showed a very surprised look. Steward Yu was busy with business and had not yet returned to the inn, so Qin Qing only took Xiu'er with him.

Lu Buwei was already waiting for Qin Qing, and when he saw her come to the front hall, a smile appeared on his face: "I haven't seen you for three years, don't come to the young lady unharmed?" ”

If he didn't know Lu Buwei's nature, Qin Qing might think that he was a kind uncle, but Qin Qing had already known the purpose of Lu Buwei's invitation to come, and when he saw him smiling kindly at this moment, he only felt that he was very hypocritical and disgusting, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he had to be polite to him with a smile: "Thanks to the blessing of the adult, Qin Qing is fine, I haven't seen him for many years, and the demeanor of the adult is still the same." ”

"When did the young lady come to Xianyang, why didn't you send someone to inform Lu, so that Lu could pick up the wind and wash the dust for the young lady." Lu Buwei politely invited Qin Qing to sit down and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the subordinates met the young lady on the street, Lu would not have known that the young lady had come to Xianyang. ”

"Lord Lu is polite, Qin Qing has been entangled in business this trip to Xianyang, and he wants to come to Xianyang to be very busy on weekdays, so he didn't come to bother, but I didn't expect to disturb the adult, but it was Qin Qing's." Qin Qing was still smiling, but he secretly scolded in his heart: Old fox, open your eyes and talk nonsense!

Lu Buwei sighed lightly and said: "If it was some time ago, Lu would have sent someone to pick up the young lady to come here for a small talk, but unfortunately he has been trapped by the rumors of the market recently, and he has no time until today." ”

Qin Qing knew that this old fox began to get to the point, and came to talk around the corner, so he replied carefully: "Qin Qing has also been in Xianyang for a while, and he has also heard some rumors about Lord Lu. But according to Qin Qing's view, those are just the conjectures of ordinary people, and adults don't need to worry too much about it. ”

Although he has no evidence, Qin Qingda can give him a death and not admit it, just say that he has not heard of it, and Lu Buwei has no way to take her. But after all, she has been in Xianyang for so long, if she hasn't heard any rumors, Lu Buwei may not believe it, but will attract suspicion to her, it is better to generously admit that she has heard it, and she can also appear innocent, and see what tricks Lu Buwei has to play!

Lü Buwei suspected Qin Qing because as soon as the rumors came out, someone reported that she was in Xianyang, which inevitably reminded Lü Buwei of the incident with He's Bi. When he first saw Qin Qing, Lu Buwei was suspicious of her, feeling that she would not be an ordinary little girl from a businessman. After observing for a period of time, he found that Qin Qing's whereabouts were no different, and at that time, when Yingzi Chu tried to break away from his power, he focused on dealing with Yingzi Chu and gradually ignored Qin Qing. It wasn't until she reappeared that Lu Buwei became vigilant, and only felt that this matter had something to do with her.

It's just that at this moment, when Lu Buwei saw Qin Qing's answer, he began to doubt his judgment. If Qin Qing denied it, he was instead confident in his suspicions and thought that he intended to clear them. But now that Qin Qing did not shy away from admitting that he had heard it, Lu Buwei began to hesitate, could it be that her appearance in Xianyang was really just a coincidence of time?

Lü Buwei didn't know the bottom of his heart for a while, so he turned to ask someone to serve the food, and no longer mentioned the rumors. Qin Qing couldn't ask for this, so he also brought the topic to business, and patted Lu Buwei's ass well, but he didn't expect to have a small gain, and actually negotiated a few deals, and coaxed Lu Buwei to promise to introduce her to merchants.

Qin Qing took Xiu'er back to the inn, and when Steward Lu, Wei Chun and others saw her come back, they hurriedly surrounded her and asked her questions. It turned out that everyone was very worried when they learned that she was invited by Lu Buwei, and they were relieved to see her come back unharmed. Qin Qing and the old fox Lu Buwei fought with each other, they were very tired in their hearts, and they told everyone that they would discuss something tomorrow, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.

On the second day, Qin Qing slept until noon before getting up, and found that Steward Yu and all the guards had not gone out at the inn, and he had some doubts in his heart: "Uncle Yu, why is everyone staying in the inn, but is there something?" ”

Steward Yu replied: "Everyone is waiting for the young lady's instructions when to leave for Fang County." ”

"Uncle Yu, let's continue to stay in Xianyang!" Qin Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "I originally wanted to leave after meeting Lu Buwei, but I negotiated a few deals with him yesterday, and he promised to introduce a few more merchants, Qing'er didn't want to waste this opportunity." ”

Steward Yu had a worried face and reminded Qin Qingdao: "The young lady is seeking skin with the tiger!" Xianyang City is the place of Lü Buwei. ”

Qing'er knew that she had only negotiated a business with him yesterday, and she left in a hurry today, which was a little unreasonable, and I was afraid that she would arouse his suspicion again. Besides, the matter of Zhao Ji's mother and son has not yet been concluded, and if there is an accident in the middle, I am afraid we will not be able to take care of it. "What Steward Yu said, Qin Qing understands, but now that Zhao Zheng has not returned to Qin State, will Lu Buwei choose Zhao Zheng in the end, if she leaves Xianyang, she will not be able to take care of any changes in things.

Steward Yu thought about it and felt that what Qin Qing said was also reasonable, so he had to say impatiently: "Then I have to stay in Xianyang for a little longer, just for safety, it is more appropriate for us to transfer some people over." ”

Seeing that Steward Yu agreed, Qin Qing hurriedly responded: "It depends on Uncle Yu's wishes." ”

==========================================================================================

On the third day after Qin Qing met Lü Buwei, the news of the death of Yingzi Chu was reported from the palace of King Qin, and the battle for the heir in the court began to intensify.

Qin Qing learned from Steward Yu that because Yingzi Chu had an heir, his brother had no hope of sitting on the throne, and there were not many people who supported him.

The second son, Gongzi Chengqiao, was born after his son Chu Gang fled back to Qin, although his biological mother Han Ji is Korean, he has no background strength in Qin, but Gongzi Chengqiao is seven years old this year, smart and clever since childhood, and many ministers in the court believe that he will be able to take on the responsibility of the country in time.

Although Gongzi Ziying is only three years old and does not know how to do anything, his biological mother, Bai Ji, is the granddaughter of Bai Qi, the late general of the Qin State. Since Bai Qi's death, there have been no brave generals in the Bai family, but when Bai Qi was alive, many of his sons and nephews were taken care of by him and were officials in the court. Over the years, Bai Qi's sons and nephews have established their own interests relationship, and now these courtiers naturally support Gongzi Ziying as king for their own interests.

The candidate for the succession has been vacillating among the supporters of the two, but Lü Buwei has never expressed his position. Qin Qing knew that he was waiting for the opportunity, just like when he supported Yingzi Chu at the beginning, now that the two heirs have many supporters, who he supports now, he is not taken seriously.

Qin Qing was also secretly happy in his heart, as long as he hadn't openly expressed his support for whoever was king, Zhao Zheng would have a chance. The two doormen who spread the rumors last time should have already sent the letter to the Zhao Mansion, and I believe that after Qin Wen sees the letter, he will rush back with Zhao Ji's mother and son as soon as possible.
