Chapter 203: Refuge
Could it be that the force that has always been in contact with the Qin State is a certain family in the Xie family and the Hou family?
After having the approximate range in his heart, Lu Yunzhou analyzed it and felt that it was more likely that he would still be a back family.
After all, in history, Hou Sheng became the last prime minister of Qi, and it was he who accepted a bribe from Qin and instigated Qi Wangjian to surrender to Qin, and Qi was destroyed by Qin without blood!
Even persuading one's sovereign to surrender the whole country, Hou Sheng can lobby for the enemy country, which can never be justified just by bribery!
Lu Yunzhou reasonably guessed that in history, the Hou family should have some handle in the hands of the Qin State, and the Qin State used the handle in his hand to coerce and induce both prongs -- as long as Hou Sheng did not obey the orders of the Qin State, as soon as the Qin State made his handle public, he would be ruined in the Qi State and his life would be lost; if he cooperated, the Qin State promised to give him a high-ranking official!
This is possible for Hou Sheng to willingly bear this eternal infamy and persuade the confused Qi Wangjian, otherwise even if he is determined to betray the Qi State, he can be a little more tactful, using the convenience of the prime minister's power to make things bad behind his back and drag the Qi State back, instead of letting himself stand on the cusp of the storm and accept the scolding of the subjects of the Qi State!
Therefore, Lu Yunzhou has a great confidence to speculate that the Hou family and the Qin State have actually been in contact for a long time, and it may even be long before Hou Sheng became the prime minister of the Qi State, and the Hou family and the Qin State have a very close connection!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, if it was really as he speculated, then Qi Guo would be really too sad!
The Hou family is the queen's mother's family, the standard foreign relative force, and one of the four major families of the Qi State, monopolizing the iron smelting industry of the Qi State, if there is a war in the Qi State, the weapons are supplied by the Hou family, not to mention the patriarch of the Hou family, Hou Jun, is also one of the highest bureaucrats under the position of the Great Admonition of the Qi State.
The roots of the Hou family are too deep in the Qi country, and they may even be more difficult to shake than the Qi family with an army!
Lu Yunzhou only felt a chill down his spine, numb hands and feet, and the sense of oppression in his heart suddenly became heavier!
There was silence in the room for a long time, and Tu Xian's voice sounded again:
"If you leave, who am I going to contact after that?"
There was another silence before Fei Huan's voice sounded:
"The Hou family will not give up this opportunity, you wait outside the city for a few days, someone will definitely come to you!"
Lu Yunzhou's heart suddenly tightened, it was really the back family!
What is this opportunity?
Tu Xian sighed and asked, "You seem to be very sure that the Hou family will not save you?"
"No, now I have been suspected by Zhongsun Long, I have no other existence value on me, if the Hou family finds me, I am afraid that I will be killed directly! Uncle Tu, in fact, I came to you this time to take refuge in your Qin State, I still have a lot of secrets of the Hou family here, see if you want it!"
Fei Huan's voice revealed deep exhaustion and anxiety.
This time, Tu Xian decisively agreed: "No problem, I will arrange for you to hide, rest assured, we Qin people never do anything about unloading and killing donkeys!"
Lu Yunzhou sneered in his heart, the people of the Qin State have never unloaded their grinds and killed donkeys? This is pure nonsense with open eyes!
Fei Huan seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and said with great joy: "Yes, Uncle Tu, rest assured, from now on, I, Fei Huan, will be from the Qin Kingdom, and I will definitely do my best to do things for Uncle Tu!"
Tu Xian said in a low voice: "It's inconvenient for you to stay here, you first find a place to hide tonight, and as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, you will go out of the city immediately, it is best to do a little disguise, so as not to let people find out! You wait for me in the bamboo forest next to Shenchi, I will send someone to meet you!"
Fei Huan was overjoyed and thanked him again and again, and when the two agreed on the code to meet, Fei Huan hurried out of the door, left from the side door of the inn, and disappeared into the night.
Lu Yunzhou lay on the roof, closed his eyes and listened for a while, until he heard a slight snoring sound from Tuxian in the house, and then left!
After returning to Qi Mansion from the same way, finding his robe on the roof, and putting it on again, after confirming that nothing was wrong from the outside, Lu Yunzhou found a place where no one was there and jumped down from the roof.
I didn't take a few steps in the direction of Dongfu when a voice came from behind me--
"Xiaoyu, stay!"
Lu Yunzhou turned his head to look, it turned out to be Uncle Qi Jing!
Qi Jing had a smile on his face, obviously it was the smooth progress of tonight, which made him happy!
"I have sent those shareholders away, these shareholders have an intertwined network of relationships in Qi and other countries, our Qi family has a relationship of interest with them, from now on, my Qi family can also get rid of the previous state of being isolated in Qi country, and I can breathe a sigh of relief! Xiaoyu, you behaved very well tonight, I have already discussed with your father, on the way of this mission, you bring Fu Zisheng to give you a hand, and bring a few more chefs, and the market development of all the countries that the mission passes through on the way, Uncle will give you full authority!"
Lu Yunzhou raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect to suddenly pick up a heavy responsibility.
But as a child of the family, this is his responsibility.
Lu Yunzhou nodded and agreed: "Yes, uncle, I understand!"
A cheerful look appeared on Qi Jing's chubby face, and he said: "After Qi Guo's restaurant is busy, I will go to Lu Guo to develop the restaurant, so Sanjin can only rely on you, you are not familiar with foreign affairs, Fu Zisheng will help you, this is no problem, your ability will definitely be able to deal with it!"
Lu Yunzhou nodded, vaguely remembering that at the last Qi family meeting, Uncle Qi Jing seemed to have mentioned this floating Sheng, and it seemed that Qi Jing was a very capable talent!
After chatting with the uncle for a few more words, Lu Yunzhou returned to his small courtyard, took a bath under the attentive service of the four Lairen maids, and refused to go to bed after refusing to go to bed.
Lying on the bed, Lu Yunzhou didn't really fall asleep, but sank his consciousness into the small jade boat again, and confirmed it again in the surveillance screen, Tu Xian was still asleep in the inn, and then he withdrew his consciousness.
Tu Xian will definitely leave early tomorrow morning, Lu Yunzhou was worried that he had overslept, so he simply sat up and began to meditate and cultivate.
He is now more and more aware of the importance of the Heart Washing Sutra!
The Heart Washing Sutra can not only cultivate the spirit, but also retrieve all the memory fragments of the past.
Many details of the history of the Warring States period will leave many traces in the many books and periodicals he read and the many web pages he has browsed in his previous life, perhaps just a casual glimpse of a sentence or two fragments, which will hide key information, but these are hidden in the depths of his memory and have not surfaced.
It is self-evident that retrieving his past memories can help him now!
