I was a gentleman in ancient times

The welcome dinner was full of joy, and all the people present held Wei Su and Zhong Lihui.It is the Qin State's fortune that Qin State can come to two big figures at once. It seems that their Qin State has come of age, and they can get the help of the virtuous and capable.

Of course, this is only what people who don't know why think so, and a few well-informed courtiers frowned.Both of these two people came from Lou State, and they also heard the cruel words from Lou State Lord. No matter which vassal state dares to take these two people in, it will face the thunderous wrath of Lou State.

If the news of these two people coming to the Qin Kingdom spreads, they are the weakest and most deceitful small countries among all the vassal states. How can they withstand Lou's conquest?

Chen Fu, as a royal censor, came to Shu with King Qin this time.At first, they only thought that King Qin came to Shu to inspect the granary and observe the people's sentiments, but he didn't expect that King Qin came to welcome Wei Su and Zhong Lihui.

When he first heard about it, he was still happy. There are sages in Qin State, which shows that their king is a sage king who can be relied on in the eyes of others, and it also shows that Qin State is also attractive to capable people.

A country cannot do without the assistance of civil servants and military generals. The more prosperous and powerful it is, the more capable people will be attracted to join it. This cycle goes on and on, and the strong become stronger.

It's just that he has also heard about the Wang Ling issued by Lou Guojun, and these two people have become hot potatoes now.As long as Lou Guojun gave an order, Qin State would be in great trouble, and maybe Qin State's hundreds of years of foundation would also collapse.

Looking at the reception banquet, the king was also beaming and didn't notice the impending crisis at all.

He has a straightforward temper, but he had no choice but to stand up and pour cold water at this moment, "My lord, may I ask Mr. Wei and General Zhongli, how does your lord arrange it?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was silent for a moment.Qin Zhan paused with the wine bottle raised to the corner of his mouth. He put down the wine glass and said, "Since Mr. Zhongli and General Zhongli have come to our country of Qin, they will naturally treat each other with courtesy. As long as there are high officials and generous salary, we can arrange them."

Chen Fu was a little anxious, "But I heard that Lou Guojun was furious because of Mr. Wei and General Zhongli. He also said that all the vassal states dared to take the two of them, and they would meet each other. My lord, we are a small country in the Western Qin Dynasty. I can't bear the wrath of Lou Guojun."

Zhong Lihui was thoughtful, and looked at Wei Su with a half-smile, but didn't make a sound, as if he was waiting for King Qin's answer.

King Qin narrowed his eyes, "Chen Qing, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, the power of the Lou Kingdom is not something that small countries like us can bear. If the Lord of the Lou Kingdom knows that Mr. Wei and General Zhongli have come to the Kingdom of Qin, I am afraid that the Lord of the Lou Kingdom will vent all his anger on the Kingdom of Qin. Qin is afraid that it will be difficult for Mr. Wei and General Zhongli to be tolerated."

Chen Fu was not afraid of offending anyone, so he directly expressed his concerns in front of Wei Su and Zhong Lihui.

Qin Zhan's face was a bit ugly, if Wei Su and the others heard what he said, it would be bad if they came up with some thoughts.His tone was firm, "Chen Qing, whether Qin Guo tolerates Mr. Zhongli or General Zhongli is the decision of the widow. The widow will make a decision on this matter."

His Majesty meant to protect these two people. Chen Fu was upright, thinking that His Majesty would not expect the consequences of doing so.Immediately said: "Your Majesty, you should think twice. Before the Lord Lou knows, there is still room for redemption. If Lou really raises troops to deal with Qin, it will be too late for regret!"

Qin Zhan was already a little sullen, "So what about Lou Guo? Chen Qing is so timid and fearful, in my opinion, I'm afraid that the position of doctor censor is not up to the task, why not..."

Before Qin Zhan finished speaking, Wei Su smiled and said, "Doctor Yu Shi is not wrong to worry. It's just that he miscalculated the current situation in the world."

Seeing that King Qin was angry, others pulled Chen Fu's sleeve to signal him not to say anything more.But Chen Fu also has a stubborn temper, the kind that even nine bulls can't pull back, today he risked his life to persuade the king to change his mind.

Hearing what Wei Su said at this moment, he was also unconvinced.Although Mr. Wei is well-known all over the world, he is still young and careless.If he really thought about it, he would not flee from Lou country, and he might even implicate them in West Qin country soon.

"The general trend of the world today?" Chen Fu sneered, would he not understand the general trend of the world? "Mr. Wei, you seem to have a good understanding of the general trend of the world? Do you even have a different understanding?"

Wei Su nodded, "Of course. Knowing the general trend of the world, no one dares to say number one if I dare to say number two." He dared to say this with reason and evidence, unlike some people who work behind closed doors.The information sent by the Xie family motorcade from various places will be given to him after sorting out, so he has the confidence to say so.

Chen Fu sneered and cupped his hands, since Wei Su dared to speak big words, he had to be ready to embarrass himself at any time.He intentionally made Wei Su look bad, "I would like to hear more about it."

Wei Su stood up and bowed to him, "Lou Guo looks powerful on the surface, except for Bei Guo, almost no one dares to fight against him. It's normal for you to be afraid of him."

Old Chen Fu blushed, he wasn't afraid, but once there was a military disaster, corpses would be scattered all over the fields, and the people would be in dire straits, it would be better to avoid it if possible.

Wei Su continued: "But you don't know that the Lou Kingdom has already reached the end of its strength, and what it shows is just a bluff."

Hehe, who would believe this?A lean camel is bigger than a horse.No matter how Lou State is, it is far stronger than a tiny place like Xiqin.

Wei Su saw what everyone was thinking and directly dropped a blockbuster. "I dare say here that in less than half a year, the country of Lou will fall apart."

"Hiss~" Everyone sitting there gasped.How could this Mr. Wei exaggerate so much?They had also heard of Wei Su's name before, and they always thought he was a sage and celebrity.But now listening to him speak, but not sure.This person doesn't even have the modesty that a famous person should have, and he talks a lot, so he can't be a fame-seeking person, right?

"Where did you say that?" someone couldn't help asking.

Unless there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, there is really no other way to do it.Wei Su is not a god, and the situation can be calculated half a year later, which is why no one believes what he said.

However, there is also someone who completely trusts Wei Su, and that is Sun Zhang, Sun Taishou who came out of Yingyang Academy together.He thought for a while, when Wei Su was still in Lou State, he let Xie's caravan transport a lot of tea tree seeds from Shu.Will Mr. Wei make a fuss about this?Because he really couldn't figure out what Wei Su said, that the Lou Kingdom would fall apart within half a year.

"Mr. Wei's words must have his reasons." Sun Zhang said.Although he didn't know Mr. Wei's plan, he spoke for Wei Su without hesitation.

Wei Su nodded to him and smiled slightly, "I have already given the time, but it will only be half a year. No matter how powerful Lou is, it is impossible to attack Qin in half a year, right? If my words are not realized by then, It is understandable for you to send me, Wei Su, to Lou to claim credit."

Everyone was whispering and discussing.What Wei Su said was also the same reasoning, and the half a year's time is not bad, the most important thing is to see King Qin's attitude.Obviously, in terms of Qin Zhan's attitude, for such a big battle, if he came to greet him in person, he would have to use these two people.It is useless for others to say what the king of Qin has decided.

Qin Zhan knew all about Wei Su's plan, and he also knew what Wei Su meant.When he first heard about this plan from Wei Su's letter, he didn't believe that Wei Su could completely bring down a behemoth by himself.However, after several years of layout, it is now coming to the final stage.He knew that Wei Su's words were not wrong, it only took half a year to verify the results, and they, Qin State, might be able to profit from it secretly.

No matter what, with Wei Su's relationship, Qin Zhan had to protect him no matter what.Even without Wei Su's calculations against Lou Guo, he would never have sent Wei Su out.

"I don't need to say much about this matter. Since Mr. Wei and Zhong Lihui came to defect to the Qin State, there is absolutely no reason to hand them over. The consequences of this matter will be borne by everyone alone."

Qin Zhan spoke, and naturally no one objected. Chen Fu wanted to say something, but thinking of what Wei Su said, it doesn't hurt to wait.Maybe when the situation changes, the king can change his original intention.Thinking of this, he naturally died down and stopped mentioning this matter.

Zhong Lihui watched this scene while drinking.When he followed Wei Su back then, he also heard from Wei Su that there was a way to avoid disaster.It's just that Wei Su didn't mention the method, but he was very clear about Wei Su's actions in Lou Country.Although he didn't know what he was planning, he also knew that it was impossible for Wei Su to take his own life as a joke. Wei Su planned to leave Lou country, so he was fully prepared.

He was naturally very surprised when he heard the promise that Wei Su just said.No one can understand the situation of Lou country better than him, Wei Su said so firmly, it is only half a year, how can Lou country be suppressed in half a year?

He remembered Wei Su's arrangements for Xie's Tao family when he came to Qin. He didn't know the details, but he could guess some.Could it be that Wei Su wants to use the influence of these two families?But everyone knows that these two aristocratic families do not have a single soldier, so how can they fight against a big power.

Since he couldn't figure it out, then he didn't think about it, anyway, Wei Su wouldn't be aimless.

Don't mention those unsightly things anymore, and the previous noise was restored at the banquet.Some toasted, some boasted, and some drank like Chen Fu.

Zhong Lihui never refused to come, and by the end of the dinner, he could barely stand up.Wei Su didn't drink less, but at least he still had control, and Qin Zhan kept talking to Wei Su, so the others didn't dare to toast too much, so they simply transferred to Zhong Lihui.So although Wei Su was drunk, he could still stay sober.

Just as he was about to go back to his residence to rest, a palace servant trotted over. He knew this person, and it was Zhao Li who had brought him with him earlier. "Mr. Wei, Your Majesty welcomes you."

It's this time, why is Qin Zhan looking for him?Wei Su was puzzled, but followed.

This is the bedroom where Qin Zhan rests, Wei Su frowned, it's so late, is there anything we can't talk about tomorrow?

The bedroom was brightly lit, only Qin Zhan was alone, it was obvious that Qin Zhan was waiting for him.

Seeing Wei Su, Qin Zhan's eyes lit up, "Mr. is here, I have someone prepare hangover soup, it works well, sir, you can drink some."

Wei Su took the soup he brought, and didn't refuse, and drank half of it in one gulp. The sweet and sour taste was indeed much more comfortable. "It's so late, the king called me over, what's the matter?"

"I just want to chat more with my husband. Is what the gentleman said at the dinner just now true? It really only takes half a year for Lou Guo to collapse?" Qin Zhan pulled him to sit down, and it seemed that he wanted to have a long talk. .

Wei Su was helpless, he really didn't have much energy to talk with Qin Zhan all night long today, "Don't you believe me? It's getting late, why don't we go to rest first, and talk about it tomorrow?"

Qin Zhan shook his head, "It's not that I don't trust Mr. Wei. Of course I know Mr. Wei's plan, but I don't know the details. I haven't seen Mr. for a long time, and I still have a lot to say to Mr. Wei. I wanted to talk to Mr. Wei in the car today. We had a good chat, but..."

Wei Su was ashamed, he fell asleep in the car in the afternoon, and Qin Zhan had guarded him for such a long time.Just want to chat when can't chat, this time...

Qin Zhan seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Sir, we can sleep on our feet today. It's not like we didn't share the same bed in Yingyang Academy before."

In the past, the two of them lived next to each other, and they were actually in the same yard. Sometimes they would stay overnight when they were having a banquet or getting drunk, or talking too late.The two were lying on the same couch, talking about everything, and now Qin Zhan made this request, it seemed that it was not an exaggeration.

"This..." Wei Su hesitated, "The present is different from the past, you are now the King of Qin, how can you go beyond the rules."

Qin Zhan lowered his brows and eyes, a bit bleak and a bit lonely, "Sure enough, what you said before is a lie, right? You said that you don't care about your status, but now you can't escape. It is said that high places are not cold, only when you really come to me. Only when you are in this position can you understand what it's like to be alone. I just want to go back to the past, but I can't go back after all."

Qin Zhan's lonely figure made Wei Su feel distressed for a while. Although he is taller now, in Wei Su's eyes, he is still the lonely boy back then.Qin Zhan was able to climb to this position, and he endured far more difficulties than he knew.

"You know I didn't mean that." Wei Su didn't know what to say, so he softened his tone, "Okay, if you don't dislike it, it's okay to be the same today as before."

Qin Zhan raised his head upon hearing this, his eyes sparkled with surprise.Then it dimmed again, Qi Qiran said: "Actually, I don't necessarily have to keep Mr., it's getting late, Mr. can go by himself."

Damn, I left, and you are here again, feeling sad and sad?Once Wei Su made a decision, it cannot be changed.He pulled Qin Zhan up, "What are you doing? Go to the couch, and I will accompany you today if you want to talk about anything."

Pulled by him, Qin Zhan obeyed Wei Su's wishes obediently, the smile on the corner of his mouth rising uncontrollably.

The king's bed is naturally the best. Wei Su hugged the pillow and sighed comfortably. Sure enough, people are so extravagant and depraved.

Qin Zhan's heart beat like a drum. He didn't have any special feelings when he was in Yingyang Academy.But now, he has other strange thoughts, but he is a bit timid.It wasn't until Wei Su wondered why he still didn't move, and asked him why he woke up, and followed him on the couch.

"I have also told you about the matter in Lou State in my previous letter. There are very few people who grow food in Lou State. As long as we cut off their food supply, they will face great difficulties. It will be difficult when the time comes, If you can't take care of yourself, you will naturally have no time to raise troops to fight." Wei Su explained Qin Zhan's doubts.

"It's the last step now. The Xie family and the Tao family have already controlled the food in their hands, and it is estimated that they have already started to act."

Qin Zhan admired Wei Su's move very much. Who can bring down a great country without a single soldier? Who in the world can do such resourcefulness?

When Wei Su talked about the business, Qin Zhan didn't have time to think about other things. Following Wei Su's train of thought, he said, "There's just one problem. After all, the Lou country is a powerful country in the world. Although the Xie family and the Tao family can also control some food channels, but After all, manpower is limited, so what if the Lou State coerces and lures other small vassal states to obtain food?"

In this way, Lou Guo's loss will not be too great.Waiting for them to understand that everything is Wei Su's plan, and then bring it back on track, wouldn't it be a waste of success?
