Zheng Anping came back suddenly, catching the family off guard. Zheng Anping only said that he had something to do in Zhengcheng on business, and he went home to visit. I didn't dare to live for a long time, for fear of missing the Qin envoy. After only one day, I set foot on the way back to Guanyi. When he passed Huayang, he specially visited Bai's car dealership and Lu Buwei, saying that his old retainer had died and Fu Ling had returned to his hometown. Then I drove back to Guanyi alone. As a result, he arrived almost at the same time as Wuwang. Zheng Anping simply told everyone that he would send Zhang Lu back to his hometown, and it is estimated that there will not be many days left.

In the past two days, in some small towns around Guanyi, a beggar with a white beard and a rickety body appeared from time to time. After flashing through the Guanyi, head north.

The Qin envoy really arrived on the afternoon of the third day, and he did not bring his entourage, only a safe car. And the beggar flashed by. The Qin envoy entered the almost dilapidated Guancheng with a festival talisman, Zheng Anping took the initiative to greet him, and the rest of the people also came out to greet him. The messenger was very young, and the identity written on the verse symbol was "Wang Ji of the Confessor". This is the first official envoy received by Guanyi since its establishment, and it is also the envoy of the Qin State. All the officials did not dare to slack off, and they received them collectively at the pavilion. Zheng Anping and Cao Bao know how to usher in the send-off, gossiping with Wang Ji in the hall; Brother Su and Brother Dog are responsible for arranging food and accommodation; The women in the kitchen all passed the word that they were not allowed to work tonight, and that they would go home when they had finished cooking, and that each of them would be paid an additional salary. Xiao Si led his post guards to strengthen patrols, but he was afraid of losing them. At the same time, a post guard was sent to rush into the city, and the messenger of the Qin State was coming.

Zheng Anping first saluted: "When Wei Xidao is in charge, Wei and Qin are good friends, and it is fortunate to be in charge of Yi." Qin made it to the end, fortunately! ”

Wang Ji was not obscure, and said: "The envoy Yu Wei is also suing the end of the autumn war." ”

Zheng Anping was puzzled and asked, "What is the autumn harvest, why not stop it?" ”

Wang Ji said with a big grin: "I don't know about the order, at the beginning of the year, after the war in Huayang,...... Do you know...... The Three Jin Dynasty and the Qin Communist Alliance, the autumn of the year will be a country, and this year should be the Chu country. This is called autumn felling. However, Chu took the prince into the hostage, and also allied with Qin, which could not be fell. The minister Qin ordered Wei and Han to report to him, the autumn attack was suspended, and the soldiers could be relieved. ”

Zheng Anping said: "This is the luck of the people and the country." ”

Wang Ji said: "How fortunate are the people? How fortunate is the country? ”

Zheng Anping said: "The people are free of swords, and the country has to protect the people, isn't it also fortunate?" ”

Wang Ji said: "You know it, everyone in Qin wants to fight. Win the battle, be promoted to the knighthood and add an official, a first-class song! Do you know Wu Anjunhu? In the first battle, he won the fifth level, and he was not promoted. After fighting again to level 10 and dying uninjured, he was promoted to the rank of doctor. In the second battle, its battalion ascended first, and won the thousand-level for the public ride. Its prescription is also twenty. In the year of its establishment, he was promoted to the head of the left. If there is no war, there is no such thing! ”

Zheng Anping didn't dare to quarrel with the Qin envoy, and said: "Qin uses military merit to rule the knight, and Wei rules with etiquette and righteousness." ”

Wang Ji said: "Qin is also polite and righteous. If you are a minister, the king of Qin ordered the country to be successful, and you will be rewarded with a knight. ”

Zheng Anping said: "There is no worry about life and death, but there is merit, isn't it happy?" ”

Wang Ji said: "Do you have the mission of the years, and the mission belongs to yourself?" It has Suocheng and invites quality, and it is often not reported in the past, and it is in vain! ”

Zheng Anping deliberately teased: "If it is successful, it will be a first-level merit; What's more? ”

Wang Ji said: "Yes! If there is a secret military information, add it as appropriate; If you get the sage of the wilderness, add it according to its talent; If it is outside the mission, those who regain their benefits will be added to their benefits. ”

Zheng Anping said: "There are sages in the Wei State who are left behind in the wilderness, and they will be requisitioned by Xinling Jun." ”

Wang Ji said: "No. Those who believe in the monarch and solidify the benevolence, the heroes of the world will return to them. But what about it all? ”

The crowd didn't care, and laughed casually. Until the porridge is cooked and the rice is ready. Zheng Anping also cooked fish and pounded dried meat for Wang Ji. After everyone withdrew, Zheng Anping asked everyone to go home and stay on duty alone.

At night, Zhang Lu wore a crown on his hair and appeared on the edge of the city in the clothes of a scholar. Zheng Anping, who was patrolling the city, saw it and led him to sneak into the post house. Then he entered the room to see Wang Ji.

Torches lit in the room, flickering and jumping. Wang Ji heard that someone outside the door reported a management order to see him, and hurriedly greeted him, and saw Zheng Anping standing outside the door.

Wang Ji invited Zheng Anping into the room and said, "When the order comes, there must be discipline!" ”

Zheng Anping said: "Do you want to make more contributions? ”

Wang Ji's eyes jumped, stared at Zheng Anping, and said for a long time: "Wei Youxian can be compared with those who travel to the west?" ”

Zheng Anping said: "There is Mr. Zhang Lu among the ministers, who wants to see you and talk about the world's affairs." He has a grudge against him, and he does not dare to see him in the daylight. ”

Wang Ji said: "But the night is coming!" ”

Zheng Anping said: "Don't dare to wait for a long time, Mr. Zhang Lu is outside the door." ”

Wang Ji said: "In this way, please introduce worship." ”

Zheng Anping came out, took Zhang Lu into the room, and introduced them to the two.

After the two finished the ceremony, Wang Ji said: "Mr. see you at night, you will have to teach me." ”

Zhang Lu said: "The kingdom of King Qin is in danger, and the ministers are safe. ”

Wang Ji said: "Why do you say this. The King of Qin has the Marquis of Sui, Huayang Jun, Jingyang Jun, Gao Ling Jun, and Wu Anjun, all of whom are talented in the world and assist them. Win all battles, and the country is safe. Sir, you have nothing to say? ”

Zhang Lu said: "It's not so-called. When the ministers lived in Shandong, they heard that Qi had Tian Wen, but they did not hear that they had kings; I heard that Qin Zhi had the Queen Mother, the Marquis, Huayang, Gaoling, and Jingyang, and I didn't hear that there was a king. Xi Cui Zhu, Nao tooth pipe Qi, shoot the king stock, promote the king tendon, the county in the temple beam, the old and died. Li Dui was in charge of Zhao, imprisoned his father in the sand dunes, and starved to death for a hundred days. Today's ministers heard that the Empress Dowager of Qin, the Marquis of Sui, Gaoling, Huayang, and Jingyang Zuozhi, died without the King of Qin, and this is also Naoya, Li Dui, and the like, ......"

Wang Ji stopped: "Stop." This is not something that the minister dares to hear. I would like to recommend Mr. to Qin, and Mr. will treat me in the south of the three pavilions. The three pavilions are close to the water, and I hope that Mr. will be fishing in the meantime, and follow the story of Jiang Taigong. The ministers visited them and returned with them. ”

Zhang Lu said: "How can the minister obey the meeting? “

Wang Ji thought for a while and said, "Short brown, thatched pu, and swaddled can also be." “

Zhang Lu said: "Minister! What is the future? “

Wang Ji said: "The first minister enters Liang, and the second enters Zheng." From Zheng back to Qin, Daonan Road, then out of the three pavilions. “

Zhang Lu said: "The confessor knows the geography of China very well. “

Wang Ji said: "The ministers of this week are sent to Han, and Han enters Qin and becomes a confessor." But know one or two Koreans. “

Zhang Lu said: "The minister is asked for revenge, and he doesn't dare to be tired of the confessor, please resign immediately, and look forward to Santing!" “

Wang Ji said: "Mr. also knows a lot about geography. “

Zhang Lu said: "Chinese geography, the minister may know a thing or two. “

Wang Ji said: "Sir will be valued by the king." “

Zhang Lu didn't dare to slack off and came out immediately. Zheng Anping observed from the front. Fortunately, the sky was overcast and dark, Guan Yi did not light torches for nothing, and he fell asleep in the dark night, and did not meet people. When he came to the bridge, Zheng Anping took out a bag of copper coins from his arms, handed it to Zhang Lu and said, "Mr. is also on this trip, I must not send it off." May Mr. go this time, the dragon into the sea, the tiger into the forest, let the king gallop. “

Zhang Lu said: "Great grace is not grateful! But there is a size of the advance, all given by the son! “

After a few hurried words, the two said goodbye.

Zheng Anping returned to the pavilion and did not talk to Wang Ji again, and Wang Ji extinguished the torch and went to sleep. He lay on the ground, confused. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong, whether it was a blessing or a curse, and he didn't even know if he would do it if he did it again. But Zhang Lu's remarks were obviously to the point, and he wanted to think of things that no one had thought of. With this alone, he will not do nothing in the Qin State, and it is also an unexpected joy for him to make some small contributions. The only thing he didn't expect was that it could be a trap!

Zheng Anping didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and even Wang Ji took the initiative to ask and cooperated everywhere. He didn't think that this could be arranged!

This night, Zheng Anping rested at the pavilion. Wang Ji was fine all night, and Zheng Anping was also fine all night. But the two were also preoccupied, and when they said goodbye the next day, both of them had dark circles under their eyes.

Three days later, Wang Ji returned to Guanyi and still lived in the pavilion. It was still Zheng Anping who was in charge of the reception and vigil. The two talked for a long time at night, each informing them of the situation in various countries they knew, but they both tacitly avoided Zhang Lu's name. Zheng Anping's Wei Wang's opinion on the cancellation of the war Chu, Wang Ji said: "Wei Wang Yan, its prosperity is also Qin, its stop is also Qin, and it is also Qin!" “

Zheng Anping asked a little unwillingly: "Xin Lingjun may have something to say." “

Wang Ji said: "The minister criticized Wei Ye, but reported to Wei Ye." The king of Wei asked, but the minister didn't know anything! Both laughed.

Sending Wang Ji away, Zheng Anping was uneasy, but there was no one to talk to. I started looking to the south, then to the north. No time to go. The little slave sensed Zheng Anping's uneasiness and carefully asked if anything bad was going to happen. Zheng Anping forced a smile and said: "It's okay, but I'm afraid of Han and Qin Zhi!" They didn't know that Xinlingjun had reached a compromise with the king of Han, and that Guanyi would be sealed by King Wei to Xinlingjun and then by King Han to Xinlingjun, so that Han's threat to Guanyi had in fact been lifted. However, due to the "loss of power and humiliation of the country", this matter is only known to a few people.

In those troubled days, tutoring Gai Nie to practice became the only thing that could be happy. And Gai Nie's martial arts talent made all the martial artists, including Cao Bao, praise.

After Zhang Lu returned to the house of Feng San, he still resumed his beggar attire, grabbed a handful of soil and wiped it on his face, making his freshly washed face extremely dirty. The next day begins, gradually begging south. It wasn't until Wang Ji returned to Guanyi that he changed to short brown, carried a burden, and traveled all the way to Santing.

Santing is at the junction of Wei and Zhengguo, and there is a small city. Zhang Lu found a small reverse brigade to live in Santing. I picked up a dead bamboo, removed some silk threads from my clothes, and didn't use a fishing hook (in fact, there was none), and every day I went fishing to the Weishui River not far away, attracting a group of children to come and see.

After Wang Ji completed his mission, he immediately left the south gate of Zheng. I drove across the river and headed east. When we arrived at the three pavilions, it was already sunset. Wang Ji and Zhang Lu imitated the scene where Zhou Gong saw Ziya and performed a performance, making it seem that Wang Ji had found Daxian. Then the two of them spent the night together on the reverse journey in Santing, and continued to the south the next day.
