Chapter Twenty-Eight: Xinlingjun and the Startling Salamander
King Wei laughed out loud: "What Qin Envoy said is reasonable. β
"If a country wants to be rich and strong, it must be strong by the people that can make the country strong."
"With the help of his ministers, the King of Qin of your country implements benevolent government for the people, and it is also a natural way for your country to become rich and strong."
"The king of Qin has this loyal minister and good general, and it is inevitable for the Qin country to become rich and strong."
"Now that your country and Wei are married, and the two countries have eliminated their wars, Wei should follow your example to implement benevolent government and complete the way of enriching the people and strengthening the country."
When King Wei said this, he raised his wine venerable and said to Yan Yan, "Qin envoy, drink." β
Yan Yan raised his glass, "King Wei, please." β
The conversation between Yan Yan and Wei Yu made the hearts of the ministers above the main hall come alive, not including Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling.
Wei Wuji looked at Yan Yan, and the jealousy in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
He already understood the purpose of the Qin State, but it was a pity that the Wei State was not his final say after all.
A banquet dispersed, and Yan Yan returned to the embassy in a carriage.
After Wei Wuji returned to the mansion, he hurriedly walked into the main hall full of anger, and then drew his sword and began to chop several cases, curtains, and lamp slippers in the main hall.
After venting his emotions, Wei Wuji sat in the mess, looking up at the roof, he knew in his heart that Wei was finished.
The salamander walked in with a tray, gently sat down beside him and dragged him up, then picked up a teacup and fed him water.
The startled salamander didn't say anything superfluous, and served him quietly.
Wei Wuji looked at the startled salamander hazy, "You know what? The state of Wei is over, it's really over. β
The startled salamander shook his head, "The slave family doesn't care about the country's plans, the slave family only cares about the gentleman." β
Tears welled up in Wei Wuji's eyes, he was powerless to go back.
Startled salamander: "Why is it better to be a gentleman..." β
Wei Wuji froze in place, he raised his eyes to look at the startled salamander, but found nothing.
Wei Wuji didn't know if the sentence just now was an illusion, or the subconscious in his mind, or if it was really said by the people around him, but this sentence kept lingering in his mind, lingering.
Wei Wuji did it, his eyes were radiating light, cold and piercing.
Yan Yan sat in the attic with drunken eyes, a cup of hot tea in front of him.
Xue Ji read the information on Wei Wuji's ground to him, and after listening to it, Yan Yan tapped her fingers on the table, thinking about her next move.
Xue Ji: "Wei Wuji's concubine should also be the person who the rest of the organization placed beside him, but I don't know who it is?" β
Yan Yan: "Only the King of Wei wants to get rid of Wei Wuji, but why did that concubine suggest that Wei Wuji kill Wei Yu?" β
Xue Ji: "Could it be that the woman has true feelings for Wei Wuji, that's why." β
Yan Yan stopped his fingers, turned his head to look at Xue Ji and said, "Then do you say that King Wei guessed this situation and how did he react?" β
Xue Ji shook her head and said, "Snow flakes are still not deeply rooted in the countries, and it is difficult to see these secrets. β
Yan Yan: "No matter what, we'll know the result tomorrow night." β
"Tomorrow night, the King of Wei will not move, and he will send everything that happened in the Xinling Jun's Mansion tonight to the Wei Palace."
"Let them fight against each other, and the Wei State will inevitably perish."
Yukihime nodded.
Xue Ji looked at the night and said, "It's late at night, and the slave family serves the son to rest." β
Xue Ji picked up Yan Yan and withdrew his black robe and hung it up.
The sparkle rises.
Yan Yan looked at the blue eyes of the person next to the pillow.
Yukihime: "Childe is awake. β
Yan Yan: "Wait a minute, come with me to visit Wei Wuji's mansion and test Wei Wuji's strength." β
Yukihime nodded with tears in her eyes.
Wei Wuji looked at the prayer post in his hand, he squinted his eyes and squeezed the Qin envoy's prayer post tightly with both hands, was he here to humiliate him?
Yan Yan's carriage stopped outside Xinling Jun's mansion, waiting for Wei Wuji to summon him.
The servant opened the door and said, "Envoy Qin, my family is invited." β
The coachman put down the ladder, and Yan Yan, dressed in black and red lines, appeared in front of the car, and then Xue Ji, who was dressed in white and blue and wearing a hair ornament, appeared next to Yan Yan.
Yan Yan took her hand and stepped out of the carriage and followed the servant towards the house.
The two looked at this Xinling Monarch's Mansion, which was as luxurious as the Wei Palace, no wonder Wei Yu couldn't tolerate Wei Wuji, just with this mansion, it was enough for King Wei to be jealous of him.
The servant led the two of them around the mansion and came to the pavilion where Wei Wuji had chosen to meet guests.
Yan Yan saluted and said, "Qin envoy Yan Yan and his wife Zhao Xue visited Xinling Jun, and they also looked at Xinling Jun Haihan in an abrupt place. β
Xue Ji saluted and said, "The slave family pays a visit to Xinlingjun." β
Wei Wuji got up and saluted, "The Taishi is polite, I know that the Taishi is coming with his wife, so I specially asked my wife to accompany the meeting, and the Taishi will forgive me." β
The woman behind Wei Wuji said, "Zhao Ru has seen Taishi and Mrs. Zhao. β
Wei Wuji said, "Ruji, you take Mrs. Zhao to the backyard to visit, and there will be someone to serve here." β
Zhao Ru got up and said, "Mrs. Zhao, please come with me." β
Yan Yan nodded at Yukihime.
Xue Ji got up and saluted, "Zhao Xue retires." β
The two women walked towards the backyard.
Zhao Ru: "Listening to Mrs. Zhao's voice, it seems to be Zhao Guoren's family." β
Xue Ji said: "Madame, is it also Zhao Guoren's clan." β
Ruji nodded and said, "The concubine is the cousin of Pingyuan Jun of Zhao State, and when the king was in Zhao State, he was matched by Pingyuan Jun and married Jun. β
"I don't know how Mrs. Zhao and Taishi met."
Xue Ji "King Qin was hostage to Zhao during the period, the husband served as the teacher of the King of Qin, and the concubine was still a music girl in the Zhao State at that time, and she was favored by her husband, and since then she has followed her husband from Zhao to Qin, and has been accompanying her husband. β
Ruji: "Mrs. Zhao is so lucky. β
Yukihime: "Madame is not bad. β
The two of them tested each other and walked in the backyard.
Among the pavilions.
Wei Wuji looked at Yan Yan opposite, his eyes were very calm, just like an ancient well, without any waves.
Yan Yan was also looking at Wei Wuji opposite, he was handsome, and he was already close to the destiny of heaven, but he was still as old as he was not confused. The sparkle in his eyes indicates that he has enough wisdom and the ability to perceive people's hearts.
Wei Wuji said, "Taishi, I don't know if the politics of the Qin State are from your hand or the hand of Xiangguo Lu Buwei. β
Yan Yan "Back to the monarch, the government of the Qin State was first from the hands of the king, and then there was Lu Xiangguo's subdivision of governance. β
Wei Wuji: "Oh, can you elaborate. β
Yan Yan told Wei Wuji about the proposal of Prince Chu of Zhuangxiang to be the crown prince when he ascended the throne and LΓΌ Buwei's administration, weakening his own credit in it to the limit.
From the beginning of the Zhuangxiang Dynasty to the king, the Qin State has always been firm in benefiting the people, disbanding the national conscription and military service, and encouraging agriculture and mulberry to give birth. β
"All policies are to ensure that the people of the Qin state live and work in peace and contentment."
Yan Yan "Under the leadership of Xiangguo, the court of our country has worked together to implement benevolent government for the people, so that the people of Qin can live a happy and beautiful life. β
Wei Wuji: "Then how did Taishi explain the fact that your country sent troops to attack Zhao and Wei. β
Yan Yan said: "Yan Guo will be blamed for this matter." β
"Yan Guo first attacked Zhao State, but it was not successful, but Yan General Lecheng threw himself into Zhao State."
"So Zhao State counterattacked Yan State under the suggestion of Le Cheng, Yan State was defeated and asked for help from our country, and our country sent troops to attack Zhao to save Yan through Wei State, but Yan and Zhao did not know what agreement was reached, and the two countries ceased war and framed Qin State, and General Meng Yu judged the situation and had to lead the army to retreat."
"All these factors sparked a series of subsequent wars."
"There will be no disapproval of the king's order outside. General Meng Fu misjudged the situation, mistakenly believed that Wei was promising, and rashly used troops against Wei regardless of the status of Wei as a vassal state of Qin. β
"Fortunately, the king gave orders in danger, led well, and put an end to this unknown war for your country, so that it did not cause a catastrophe."
"General Meng Fu returned to Xianyang to plead guilty, and the minister interceded for the general in the name of the Qin State without a general, in exchange for General Meng Fu stationed in Hanguguan to survive."
Wei Wuji looked at Yan Yan, wondering in his heart how many of his words were true or false.
At this moment, a woman dressed as a maid came with pastries.
"Your Majesty, Madame ordered that pastries be brought for your guests."
Wei Wuji looked at the appearance of the startled salamander maid in disguise, he nodded quietly, let her put it down, and waved her to leave.
Yan Yan glanced at the startled salamander, this is not a maid, as soon as they met, she killed him, it seems that the person behind her is not simple.
Yan Yan remembered the appearance of the startled salamander, and since he was looking for death, he could only choose to die if he fell into his hands.
Yan Yan picked up a piece of pastry and tasted the tea slowly.
An hour passed, Ru Ji and Xue Ji also returned to the pavilion, Yan Yan got up and said, "Your Majesty, the husband and wife have retired now." β
Wei Wuji got up and said, "Master Tai, go slowly." β
Yan Yan and Xue Ji followed the servants towards the outside of the mansion, and the carriage was already waiting in front of the door.
After getting into the carriage, Xue Ji leaned on Yan Yan and said happily, "I didn't expect you to say that I am your wife." β
Yan Yan hugged her and said, "You deserve it." β
Yukihime looked up at him, her eyes full of tenderness.
Yan Yan looked at those blue eyes, and he showed a bright smile for the first time, "I will give you a grand wedding to inform the world, you are my Yan Yan's wife." β
Yukihime nodded, "Yes." β
The carriage returned to the Qin Embassy, Yan Yan took Xue Ji back to the room, he looked at Xue Ji and said, "How are you investigating?" β
Xue Ji: "Wei Wuji's backyard does have a lot of eyeliner, but most of them are maids or servants, and King Wei must not know what happened at night. β
Yan Yan: "Since this is the case, then it is up to us to tell King Wei what his younger brother thinks." β
"Let the Yanzi killer cover up his identity, break into the palace of King Wei tonight, and give this King of Wei a little gift."
Yukihime nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." β
Yan Yan nodded, and before Xue Ji left, she called Qingling over to play the piano.
Qingling walked to Yan Yan's side, and first made a tea ceremony, "Sir, what song do you want to listen to tonight." β
Yan Yan said, "Don't be in a hurry, wait a while to go to the roof and watch a big show." β
Qingling nodded, poured the tea from the teapot into the cup, she watched him slowly sip the tea, leaning gently against him.
Yan Yan: "Is my picture terrible? β
Qingling shook her head, "The slave family was a little frightened when they saw Mr. like that for the first time, after listening to Sister Xue talk about what Childe had experienced, the slave family thought that Mr. was the necessary means to survive." β
Yan Yan: "In the darkness of this world, there will always be countless cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods who are harvesting the lives of others all the time. β
"If you want to survive in such darkness, you can only kill yourself before you can survive."
Yan Yan raised Qingling's chin and looked at her and said, "When do you figure it out, then you can gain my trust like Xue Ji, otherwise you will always be a tool in my hands." β
Qingling nodded and said, "The slave family knows." β
Yan Yan withdrew his finger and put it on the wick and burned.
"If the tool is broken, it can only be discarded, there is nothing in this world worthy of my trust, not even I trust myself."
"Xue Ji and Xiao Zheng are different, they are like lights that light me in the night, let me know where the road lies ahead, so I will protect these two lights and guide the way forward."
Yan Yan withdrew his fingers, the fingertips were already blackened, he pinched and tore off the charred parts, and then watched the fingertips slowly scab off.
The ability of his physical ability is getting stronger and stronger, and some minor injuries can't make him have any worries at all.
Xue Ji came back in, she looked at Yan Yan and said, "Childe, it's all arranged." β
Yan Yan said, "Let's go, let's see if Wei Yu of the Wei Palace likes the gift I gave him." β
Qingling held the joy of Wuxi, Xue Ji carried the tube of Shaohua, and the servant followed behind with a tea tray.
On the highest roof, Yan Yan sat on the tiles, and beside him was a small platform on which the tea tray was placed.
Qingling and Yukihime sat on either side, playing music.
In the distance, the sound of fighting in the Wei Palace came, and the forbidden army outside the city began to be mobilized and marched towards the Wei Palace.
In the palace of King Wei, the life of the forbidden army of the forbidden army of the killer reaper of the two words of flame and flame was approaching Wei Yu.
A large number of masters in the palace of King Wei stood in front of them, fighting with the killers.
The voice of the forbidden army sounded, and the killer understood that it was time to retreat, so he left the captured corpse and the identity mark and began to retreat.
By the time the forbidden army entered the palace of King Wei, the killer who was alive had already withdrawn, leaving only the corpse and the severed arm in place.
The Praetorian Army packed everything up, and someone moved those tokens and corpses together.
Wei Yu looked at the tokens and one of the familiar faces, and he said quietly, "Order the whole city, strictly investigate the murderer, and the whole city will be under martial law." β
"In addition, it is ordered that Xinlingjun and the commander of the forbidden army are fully responsible for this matter, and if the murderer is not found within five days, he will be severely punished."
Wei Yu returned to the dormitory, held everyone back, and then smashed the jade plaque in his hand to the ground and shattered it, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Wei Wuji." β
On the Mansion of the Emperor of Xinling.
When the news of the attack on the Wei Palace, he only felt a loud bang explode in his mind.
Wei Wuji then received the news that someone was missing below him.
Two pieces of news directly made him unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.
Wei Wuji understood that he was finished.
The order of the King of Wei arrived quickly.
Wei Wuji sorted out his appearance and received his will, and if he couldn't find a scapegoat within five days, he could only sit in the position of killing the head and become the scapegoat of others.
Yan Yan: "What do you think Wei Wuji chose to go back to?" β
"Will he steal the throne as I gave him, or will he seek a scapegoat to die in his place, or will he die himself?"
Xue Ji: "Childe, if Wei Wuji chooses to steal the throne, isn't it in no interest to us? β
Yan Yan "Xinling Jun became the king of Wei, will the rest of the countries still hand over the talisman to him?" Will you trust someone who will kill your brother and take the throne? β
