Chapter 69 Section 6 Fan Ju is dead and Zhang Lu is alive

Strange to say, after two days, Xianyang has not sent back the covenant. According to the distance, the express delivery from Daliang to Xianyang takes about ten days or half a month to go back and forth. Why is it so slow this time?For the first half month, Wang Ji had nothing to do, and felt that spending time in Daliang was really boring. Apart from going to various dignitary mansions where he was kindly invited to drink, he would also go to market restaurants to listen to news and rumors. The news confirmed: that Fan Ju was indeed dead, and after being beaten to death with a bamboo whip, even the body was dragged to the dogs by a warrior next to Wei Qi!Wang Ji was thrilled to hear it, but he still had to chat and laugh with the nobles.It was from then on that he suddenly developed an indescribable dislike for Daliang, and wished he could immediately flee this metropolis filled with extravagance and stench.However, just three days ago, he suddenly glimpsed the mystery of this Fenghua Metropolis, and felt that the time was too hasty, and hoped that King Qin's reply would be better for a few days later, so that he could think carefully A mysterious girder.

The peak turned around, but suddenly there was a glimmer of light in front of him. At dusk that day, Wang Ji was strolling boredly by the big pond in the courtyard, when a small official in red came floating towards the shore in a canoe.Wang Ji often wandered here, knowing that it was the officials of the post station checking whether the servants had cleaned up the water, so he ignored it and walked alone.He didn't want to walk around the pool three times, but the little canoe was always drifting leisurely in his sight.Wang Ji smiled, junior, do you want to ask for some wine money?Unfortunately today, the old man is empty-handed.This post house is the residence of envoys from all over the world. Officials and servants often use various names to send extra errands to envoys and their entourage, or to inquire about news or purchase rare goods, in order to get some generous rewards.This would be unimaginable in other countries, but it is extremely common in Daliang, where the prosperity of the business market is very popular.Wang Ji has been in charge of the palace affairs for many years, and he is familiar with the hardships of officials and servants, and even more familiar with the customs of Daliang, so it is not surprising.

"Sir, do you want antiques from the Shang Dynasty?" A pure Daliang Mandarin came from the canoe. "Antiques from the Shang Dynasty? What are they?" Wang Ji stopped indifferently. "Yi Yin." "How so? Yi Yin?" Wang Ji chuckled, "You said, what is Yi Yin?" "Major Shang Tang, is it?" "..." Wang Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the pair of alert and cunning eyes on the canoe, "You young man lost his mind and went crazy? The great sage is dead and immortal for a thousand years, how dare you insult him like this?"

"Forgive me, my lord. The villain is saying that my things are comparable to Yi Yin's." "Your things? How do things compare with people?" "This thing is magical. Adults treat it as a thing, and adults treat it as a person." "It's unbelievable." Wang Ji smiled leisurely, "How about asking the younger generation to accompany the old man to the residence to negotiate the price?" "No." The young man in the canoe flashed his eyes, "My lord said yes, but the villain will come back at this time tomorrow. My lord doesn't want it, so let's go."

"Okay!" Wang Ji raised his hand, and threw a small leather bag the size of a palm into the young man's arms, "I'll see you tomorrow at this time, here are some tea supplies. But, let's talk here..." "My lord, don't worry, this place is the best place." The young man smiled, and the canoe floated away. At dusk the next day, Wang Ji came to the pool for a walk on time, and the capable censor wandered in the woods by the pool with ten warriors in plain clothes.Seeing the setting sun fade away from the hidden mountain, a canoe floated leisurely on the surface of the water. Wang Ji clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Young students really believe in people. How do you explain it?" In the darkness, you can see the bright white teeth on the canoe In a flash, "The villain Zheng Anping is a warrior in the prime minister's mansion. Do you still want to make a deal?" Wang Ji laughed and said, "Everyone has his own ambitions. Even the prime minister discusses business with the old man, not to mention the subordinates." "Okay! Your excellency is bold." " The man behind the canoe flashed brightly, "The villain is here, adults don't have to panic." After saying that, he patted the canoe, "Brother, wake up."

Suddenly, the canoe stood up, a tall black figure, with a black cloth hanging over his face, his whole body was hidden in the dark night, but his voice was clear and deep: "My next Zhang Lu, I have seen the special envoy." "Dare to ask, sir," Wang Jiyao cupped his hands, "Who is Zhang Lu, compared to Yi Yin?" The black figure said indifferently: "Yi Yin was originally a talented man who was born as a private slave. In today's world, there are many people who have surpassed Yi Yin in talent and achievements. How can Zhang Lu be inferior to him?"

"Sir, since you are a celebrity, do you know the name of Liang Fanju?" "Zhang Luyuan is Senior Brother Fan Ju, why don't you know?" "So, how is Mr. Fan Ju compared to?" "Fan Ju can do what Zhang Lu can do." "How to prove it?" "After the talk between Anping and the special envoy, if the special envoy still wants to see Zhang Lu, I will confirm that what I said is true." With that said, the canoe disappeared from the dark figure.The teeth of the young canoe flashed again in the darkness: "My lord, wait a moment, the villain will come at midnight." After speaking, there was a sound of water, and the canoe floated away again.

The sudden coming and going made Wang Ji even more puzzled, and he felt that there must be something strange and unpredictable hidden in it.The young man in the canoe didn't leave his name yesterday, but he reported his name first when he saw him today, and he happens to be a warrior of the prime minister Wei Qi. What does it mean?Fan Ju's life experience has been investigated clearly, and it is said that he is a scholar who has spent all his family wealth and studied abroad. How could he suddenly have a senior brother?Sure enough, this senior brother is more talented than Fan Ju, and he can go to the Qin Dynasty to lobby openly on the road of celebrity, but why do he act so strangely?Could it be... Wang Ji's heart suddenly brightened, and he immediately walked back to the courtyard of the Qin envoy, and ordered the elite censor to clean up the rest of the matter quickly, and was ready to leave Daliang at any time.After everything was arranged properly, Wang Ji sat quietly and waited in the relatively private study.

It was the third watch on the Qiaolou side of the post house, and there was a burst of light footsteps under the corridor of the study.Wang Ji opened the door, and saw a tall and thin man in a black cloak standing under the dark porch, he just cupped his hands at him, went into the study and sat down without saying a word.Wang Ji followed in, handed over a herbal tea pot and sat down opposite, only looking at the thin and strong young warrior, but did not speak. "Adult, are you interested in listening to the story?" "The autumn night is bleak, and it can be spent." The warrior gulped down a few sips of herbal tea, wiped the remaining stains on the corners of his mouth with his big hands and then clasped his hands together: "The villain Zheng Anping, who works as a guard next to Prime Minister Wei Qi, witnessed a horrific tragedy with his own eyes a month ago, and I want to tell you for your consideration. "

"The old man is all ears." Zheng Anping sighed heavily, then spoke intermittently, whimpering, the autumn wind wrapped in the chirping of autumn insects and the sound of Qiaolou banging on the window lattice, Wang Ji seemed to be soaked in icy cold water. On that day, a grand banquet will be held in the hall of the prime minister's mansion to celebrate Xu Jia, the Chinese doctor, for making the alliance between Wei and Qi.All the important officials in Daliang came, and several of the prime minister's confidantes and county guards rushed here without hesitation.Except for the king of Wei, almost all the dignitaries of the whole dynasty came.Two centurion warriors stood guard outside the hall, and lined up from the corridor to the big pool in the courtyard. Zheng Anping happened to be in the corridor, and he could see the hall with huge candles burning very clearly.

After a round of bells and drums, Prime Minister Wei Qi used the meat-cutting dagger in front of him to pry open the steaming copper jue, and the banquet began amidst joyous laughter.Wei Qiji proudly announced the good news of Wei Qi's alliance, and ordered Xu Jia to read the text of the alliance on the spot.The dignitaries shouted long live the prime minister together, and congratulated Xu Jia for his great contribution.Wei Qi read out the imperial edict of King Wei on the spot, and promoted Xu Jia to the official position of upper doctor, and was promoted to two ranks of noble.The whole audience cheered and celebrated, Xu Jia changed the clothes of the senior doctor with a blushing face, first humbly bowed to the prime minister, and then proudly raised his title to toast each dignitary, and within half an hour, all the dignitaries in the audience were drunk and clamored Ask the dancers to drink with the seats. At this time, Wei Qi knocked on the wine baron with a dagger: "Where there is a reward, there is a punishment. This is also a clear reward and punishment. After the Qing Dynasty, we will drink to our heart's content." The cheers subsided, and Wei Qi's face suddenly became gloomy: "This time, there are some arrogant people who secretly accepted heavy bribes, communicated with other countries, and betrayed the great Wei. This is tolerable, what can't be tolerated!" Xu Jia, who was crowned with a crown, staggered to the last seat, and amidst the astonishment of the audience, he sternly shouted: "Zhu Zi Fan Ju, dare not plead guilty!" In terms of rank, Fan Ju was originally far from being able to attend the banquet of the powerful and powerful, but because Qi's entourage was invited together, Fan Ju had to come, and the seat was at the end near the hall door.At the beginning of the banquet, Fan Ju felt like sitting on pins and needles, and when it was time for Jia to be promoted to a higher rank, Fan Ju wanted to quietly withdraw from the banquet.But several officials who were on the mission with him kept toasting to Fan Ju, but they failed.When the prime minister came to question the case, Zheng Anping could see clearly that Fan Ju sat calmly and had no intention of leaving anymore.Seeing Xu Jia's sharp teeth and claws, Fan Ju suddenly burst into laughter, got up and walked into the hall and said loudly: "Dare to ask the doctor: what evidence is there for accepting heavy bribes privately and connecting with other countries?" "Evidence? I am the evidence!" Xu Jia screamed, his face turning blue. Fan Ju was calm and composed: "In this way, Xu Jia is incompetent and insults the state system. This is the proof." "Bold little official!" Wei Qi snapped at the case, "It's a pity that I don't believe you!" Fan Ju showed no fear, and just smiled calmly: "If the prime minister only believes in incompetence and mediocrity, what can the husband say? But the prime minister should always trust the king of Qi, and the king of Anping, Tian Dan. If the truth is true, you can find out when you check it. A sinner with groundless words? Fan Ju bids farewell!" Flicking his sleeves, he turned and left. "Come back!" Wei Qi yelled violently, and suddenly sneered again, "Even if the old man believes in Tian Fazhang and Tian Dan, I don't bother to ask. Why do you have any evidence to deal with such a small official? Come on, everyone has a bamboo whip One, whip it indiscriminately!" Immediately, a servant brought in a large bundle of bamboo whips and placed them in the center of the hall. The dignitaries and ministers were drunk and excited for a while, and rushed out with bamboo whips to surround them.Xu Jia was even more savage, kicking Fan Ju to the ground while shouting, screaming "Hit!" The bamboo whips on all sides were surrounded by laughter and shouts of "Hit! Kill him!" like a storm Fly each other.Zheng Anping said that Fan Ju's miserable howl immediately gave him goosebumps!In the hall, the red sleeves fluttered with a ferocious tongue, and they mixed with the blood of the red clothes into a bloody red, and the blood gurgled onto the white jade bricks under his feet, soaking into a bloody flower. This bamboo whip was originally split soft bamboo strips, the handle is polished and smooth, but the tip is thin and flexible, although it is not as powerful as a stick when it hits a person, it is very painful when it hits the flesh.In terms of beating tools, sticks are like beheading, and whipping is like lingering. You will not die for a while, but it will teach you to suffer the pain of thousands of cuts! After fighting for half an hour, that Fan Ju was already bloody and silent.Wei Qi laughed loudly: "Everyone, how is the old man's whip feast today?" The rich and powerful laughed out of breath: "It's a joy!" "It's incredible!" Xu Jia shouted : "Come here! Drag this blood thing out and throw it into the latrine!" Wei Qi slapped the desk and laughed loudly: "It's a joy for the petty official to go to the latrine after dying! Come, let the maid Le Nu accompany you to the table, let's drink to my heart's content!" Amidst the laughter and clamor of the dignitaries drunkenly embracing the singing girls, the elder of the prime minister's mansion led three clerks to roll up a mass of fleshy grass and carried it to the latrine in the grove by the pool.Zheng Anping followed quietly, and heard a few dignitaries and family old scribes laughing together in the toilet. "Everyone piss on this madman! How about it?" "Wonderful! Pee! It's all pee!" A few girls come to piss, and if the boy is dead, he will show up!" Then he heard a burst of laughter, and a stinging stench filled the latrine... Zheng Anping walked into the hall, and bowed directly to Wei Qi: "Centurion Zheng Anping, I beg the prime minister for a small reward!" "Zheng Anping?" Wei Qi's drunken eyes were hazy, "What kind of reward do you want for the truth? Le Nu?" "The villain dare not! The villain only asks the Prime Minister to reward the villain with the urine corpse!" Wei Qi chuckled: "You, you kid want to drink urine?" "The villain raised a fierce dog, the best raw meat and blood, the villain begs to feed the dog with a dead body!" Wei Qi slapped the desk and laughed loudly: "Kangsheng feed the dog, wonderful! I reward you, and the dog is fattened, so let me see it!" In this way, amidst the laughter of the rich and powerful, Zheng Anping carried away the bloody and urine corpse in a grand manner. Wang Ji's face was livid, and he suddenly asked, "Is Fan Ju dead?" "Of course he is dead." Zheng Anping sighed, "The Prime Minister's Mansion came to ask for the body the next day, and I only gave him a pile of broken meat and bones, and dedicated the bulldog to the Prime Minister to finish the matter." "The way of heaven is clear, the old man Wei Qi will not end well!" Wang Ji gritted his teeth and sighed deeply, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Dare to ask this brother, Zhang Lu is really Senior Brother Fan Ju? How did you get to know him?" Zheng Anping flashed sly eyes, but his expression was very serious: "My lord, I don't want to tell any more stories. Please let me tell you about Fan Ju. My lord just said whether or not to see Zhang Lu. His business should be done." He said." Wang Ji nodded and smiled: "You are careful in waiting, you can tie your mouth at any time, but it only confuses the old man." Zheng Anping cupped his hands: "Master Su Wen has a good understanding of people, and it is definitely more than just being confused to make a deal. Wang Ji laughed and said, "I've never known you before, but you know that I know people?" Zheng Anping said, "What Zhang Lu said. I don't know." Since you went to Qin, you want to take the dangerous road of this old man?" Zheng Anping's eyes flashed again: "I have already said that Zhang Lu's matter was told by Zhang Lu himself. Your Excellency is suspicious, so it's okay to see him." Wang Jilue said He pondered and said: "That's fine, I will meet this Zhang Lu. How about coming here tomorrow night?" "No." Zheng Anping waved his hand, "My lord, but see, it's still the same place by the pool, at the time of the first shift." Wang Ji couldn't help it Hehe laughed: "The old man can't even see this person's face, but is this a serious business?" Zheng Anping's thin and razor-sharp face was serious: "Life and death are a matter of life and death, my lord, forgive me." Wang Ji just nodded. Sigh: "That's right, you are a warrior in the prime minister's mansion, and it is a capital offense to collude with foreign envoys. The old man depends on you, and it will be changed at the beginning of tomorrow night." "Thank you, my lord. Farewell." Zheng Anping stood up and bowed to Wang Ji She waved her hand to signal him not to go out, then opened the door and walked out without the slightest sound of footsteps. In the early morning of this day, an envoy on a fast horse arrived, and brought back the covenant that had used King Qin's seal and a letter from the king.There are only two lines in the letter of the King of Qin - the covenant can be made, or the stay can be delayed, or the alliance can be exchanged and returned to Qin, the king can decide on his own.Wang Ji understood at a glance that this was the power given to him by the King of Qin to do things conveniently: if he needed to stay in Daliang, he would postpone the covenant for a few days;After pondering for a while, Wang Ji finally had an idea. He kept the covenant written by Wang in a safe place, and then drafted the letter of alliance exchange for Wei Qi in the study. As soon as the first drum sounded in Qiao Tower, the courtyard of the post house became quiet.Except for the flickering lights in the independent courtyards where the envoys lived, the large posthouses were all lost in the darkness of the early moon.When the canoe floated over with a slight sound of water, Wang Ji was already standing under a big tree on the bank.The canoe drifted to the shore beside a big rock, and a tall black figure stood up: "If the special envoy has doubts, Zhang Lu is willing to answer." Wang Ji then said: "Mr. People, why don't you openly study in Qin State?" The black figure said: "Based on the strength of Wei Qi, Zhang Lu is Senior Brother Fan Ju, how can I be let out of the customs? Since Shang Yang created the photo post, Wei Guo did the same, and checked the people who left the customs according to the post. Why is the special envoy not clear?" Wang Ji said: "So, the face of Mr. Wei is no stranger to the government of Wei?" "God's will!" The black figure just sighed and stopped talking.Wang Ji's heart suddenly brightened, and he said: "When I leave Wei in the next day, how can I see my husband?" The black figure immediately replied: "There are three pavilions outside the west gate of Daliang. The special envoy will take a rest." After he cupped his hands and said goodbye, the canoe suddenly swung away. Wang Ji was stunned by the shore for a moment, then returned to the study, and after half an hour of careful discussion with the capable censor who followed him, he split up to take care of the aftermath.This matter is full of confusion and doubts from the beginning to the end, and it is even more unbelievable to see it in the history of seeking talents - I have promised to take someone out of the customs, but I still don't know the face of this person, I am really surprised!But so far, the risk seems worth taking.After all, this Zhang Lu is an unpredictable and profound figure brought out by Fan Julian, so it would be a pity to abandon him so easily.What prompted Wang Ji to immediately decide to take risks was what the black figure said so well.In the past few days, Wang Ji has found out that there is no such person as Zhang Lu among the officials of the Wei State government, and no one among the scholars of Daliang has ever heard of the name Zhang Lu.If it is a talented person who has just come out of the mountain, on the one hand, it is impossible to have a photo immediately, and on the other hand, it is even less likely to be afraid of Guan Aibi's recognition of Fan Ju's head portrait.Zhang Lu, whose face is familiar to the government of Wei State, is it really Zhang Lu?Besides, after traveling together for three to five days, you can always figure out the weight of this person. If it's a fake person, it's not easy to get rid of him halfway? At Maoshi the next morning, Wang Ji paid a visit to the prime minister's mansion with his letter of credence and covenant, and Wei Qi immediately accompanied him into the palace to meet the king of Wei.After exchanging the covenant and credentials that had used the seals of the two kings, the king of Wei held a luncheon in diplomatic relations to show his congratulations.After the banquet, I left the palace. It was already the setting sun in autumn.According to Wei Qi's plan: Xu Jia, the senior official in charge of diplomatic relations, paid a visit to the special envoy in the evening and presented the state gift on behalf of the King of Wei; the next day, he sent the envoy of Qin to Liang to see Wang Ji in the suburban pavilion.Wang Ji originally planned to change the covenant, so he left the post house and lived in the Qin State Commercial House, so as to avoid the officials and entourage from leaking clues.At this moment, I want to say goodbye, but it is not in line with diplomatic etiquette.The State of Wei was originally the most particular about diplomatic arrangements, wouldn't it be more strange to force himself to resign?While thinking about it, Wang Ji could only express his gratitude with a smile on his face according to the etiquette. At twilight, Xu Jia, surrounded by a full guard of honor, brought three carts of national gifts into the posthouse to pay a visit, ostentatiously beyond compare.However, Wang Ji was not interested in dealing with this upstart who was full of ambitions, so he did not host a banquet, but just paid back to Xu Jia with a cart of Shu brocades in a down-to-earth manner.Xu Jia originally presented the state gift on behalf of the king. He thought that the envoy of Qin would definitely hold a banquet, so he wanted to make friends with the special envoy of Qiang Qin during the banquet. Donate to Wang Ji in his own name, and save Wang Ji the trouble of preparing wine.Unexpectedly, Wang Ji didn't serve wine, so he was very depressed. When he saw a cart of splendid Sichuan brocades, he immediately smiled again, and said a lot of admiration words with a smile on his face, and then he went away. As soon as Xu Jia left, Wang Ji immediately ordered his entourage to load a gift to the Qin State Trading Company.At three o'clock, the accompanying censor came to report: all twelve ceremonial cars had been reloaded, and there were three hollow cars in the middle.Wang Ji felt at ease, so he summoned several cadres to discuss the details of tomorrow, and just now he woke up, and it was the beginning of the dawn when he woke up. The sun was just rising, and a banquet had been set up in the welcome and send-off pavilion ten miles outside the west gate of Daliang.Xu Jia was looking at the horse-mounting stone beside the official road outside the pavilion, and saw three horsemen flying towards the official road, and a black-clothed civil servant got off his saddle first and gave a bow: "I am ordered by the special envoy of Qin to report to the doctor: The special envoy bid farewell to the prime minister, please drive slowly, please wait a moment for the doctor." Xu Jia waved his hands again and again with a smile: "It's okay. The special envoy drives dozens of ceremonial cars, and he should drive freely. Why not wait?" At this moment, the team of special envoys of the State of Qin with flags and flags waving could barely get out of Daliang Ximen.Daliang is a hotspot for business travelers all over the world, even though it is early in the morning, the official road is already full of vehicles, horses and pedestrians.Daliang official road is famous all over the world, about ten feet wide, with towering poplars on both sides, and after walking two or three miles, there is a small road leading to the woods or small river, which is specially for pedestrians, vehicles and horses to rest and sharpen.The first downroad intersection is Santinggang.There are three thatched pavilions in a mountain forest, and a small river flows down the mountain. The small river valley is extremely quiet. It was originally a good place for Daliang people to go outing in spring, and it is naturally a frequent spot for travelers to rest their feet.It is the autumnal equinox now, the withered and yellow vegetation is hidden in the light morning mist, and the three pavilions are also looming.When they arrived at the crossing, they saw the special envoy's carriage and horse guard of honor driving out of the central road and slowly stopping at the side of the road, and the three wagons rattled down the path. After a while, the three wagons came back rattling away, disappearing in the convoy covered by flags.A melodious horn sounded in front of the head, and the special envoy drove the guard of honor into the center of the official road and swayed westward.When they arrived at the ten-mile suburban pavilion, the special envoy's carriages and horses stopped in a guard of honor. Only the special envoy Wang Ji got out of the carriage with a smile.Xu Jia Yaoyao cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Special Envoy, the banquet is very rich. Please get off your horse and have a good time drinking." Dao Li gets off the horse, how dare this old man violate the law?" Xu Jia was embarrassed: "This, what kind of law is this? This banquet for hundreds of people is showing his own wishes, it has nothing to do with etiquette..." Wang Ji turned back With a wave of his hand, he said with a smile: "Come here, give the doctor a hundred gold coins as a thank you." Xu Jia immediately laughed: "Where did this come from? I ask Jia to go farewell, and the Lord will pay the gold." Wang Ji is one of them. Clasping hands: "This envoy is under the urgent edict of the King of Qin. I can't hang around with the senior doctor. I will leave!" Turning around, he stepped on the chariot and stomped his feet, "Go ahead quickly! Return to Xianyang!" Standing outside the suburban pavilion with the wine jue in hand, he was stunned. A day of fast horses, Wang Ji's convoy entered Hangu Pass at dusk, and stayed at the post house of the official office in the pass city.Wang Ji was relieved, so he ordered a fine official to take Zhang Lu, who was hidden in the hollow car, secretly into the post house for a bath and a meal. A group of servants waited behind and slowed down, and the rest of the entourage followed the season's car, and set off immediately when the cock crowed at five o'clock.After the arrangement was settled, Wang Ji came to talk to Zhang Lu, but the caretaker said that Zhang Lu insisted on going back to the caravan to rest after bathing and eating, leaving only one sentence: "Talk to the special envoy after arriving in Xianyang." Wang Ji thought about it. After a while, I also felt that the Hanguguan post was crowded with officials and merchants, and it was really not the place to talk freely, so I ordered the elite censor to lead four warriors to guard the caravan from a distance, and hurried to the official office to handle the customs clearance documents. When the rooster sings, Hangu Pass will come to life.Horns blew melodiously, doors closed and opened rumblingly, horses and horses came and went in and out of the candle torches, but it was busy and prosperous.Wang Ji's chariot and horse entourage, more than 20 people, also left the post house with the chariot.As soon as he was on the official road, Wang Ji ordered the guard of honor to put away the flags and flags and drive fast.They walked for three hours at a stretch, and arrived outside Pingshu City at nearly noon.Wang Ji was about to order to stop for a meal on the road, but he saw the smoke and dust in the west, waving a banner, and the powerful imperial censor quickly turned back and shouted: "Reporting to your lord, it is the banner of Ranghou!" "Give way to the side of the road!" With an order, Wang Ji got off the station and stood guard on the side of the road. In a moment, Ranghou Weixie's chariot and cavalry team had already rolled in front of him.Wei Xun was on an inspection trip to Hanoi this time, and he brought two thousand cavalry guards with him, but the momentum was astonishing.Seeing the carriages and horses on the side of the road, Wei Xun had already ordered the cavalry to slow down, but just as Wang Ji was shouting salutes by the side of the road, he also laughed loudly and said, "Wang Ji, you have worked hard on the mission!" Wang Ji bowed his hands solemnly: "Thank you. The prime minister is here to help. The alliance between Qin and Wei has been completed, and the king and ministers of the state of Wei have no doubts." Wei Xie nodded and said, knocking on the carriage: "It's a good thing. Is there any change in the Kanto?" Wang Ji said: "Report to the prime minister: the six kingdoms of Shandong There is no change, the general situation is in my Qin's favor!" Wei Xie laughed loudly: "Okay! I can rest assured!" Suddenly his face sank, "Your Wang Ji, have you brought back the traveler from the Six Kingdoms? This kind of people mess up the country with words, but I am tired of it." Wang Ji said with a smile: "Report to the prime minister: my mission is not to select scholars, why dare to go overboard?" Wei Xing glanced at Wang Ji majesticly: "The visitor still understands .Okay, the old man is going to Hanoi." With a stamp of his foot, the horse team surrounded by carts rumbled away. Suddenly, a deep voice came from the caravan: "Master Special Envoy, Zhang Lu, please get out of the car and walk." "Why?" Wang Jida was surprised. The voice of the caravan said: "Ranghou is a wise man. He was suspicious just now. It's just that he was slow to see things and forgot to search for the vehicle. He will definitely search back after a while. Go down and wait at the mountain pass." Wang Ji thought for a while and said: "Alright, let's see what the master thinks. Open the hood!" The tight tarpaulin of the luggage was opened, and a tall masked man in black jumped out of the car. went.It was the first time Wang Ji saw this mysterious Zhang Lu under the sun. Although his veil was still hanging down, Wang Ji felt a little relieved by his firm and upright gait. The black figure could be hidden in the withered yellow autumn grass on the mountain road. Wang Ji and his party were about to go on the road after finishing their sharpening, when they saw a group of cavalry flying from the east and shouting: "Stop, please!" Wang Ji was surprised for a while, But he couldn't help laughing, and calmly got off the station and stood by the side of the road.At this moment, the cavalry team had arrived, and the commander-in-chief shouted loudly: "Under the order of Ranghou: search the vehicles to prevent accidents!" Wang Ji cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The general is on official business, how dare he have him?" He sat down on a big rock by the side of the road calmly and went to drink water with a leather bag.In a short while, more than twenty knights had searched Wang Ji's carriage and the three carriages inside and out repeatedly. Only then did Wang Ji feel relieved and headed westward. After the chariot and horses had traveled a distance, he saw a black figure standing at the mountain pass in front of him.When the chariots and horses approached, Wang Ji cupped his hands: "Sir, you are a resourceful man!" The man in black smiled leisurely, "How can such a trivial matter be considered resourceful?" He stepped into the back of Wang Jizhen's chariot "I'm going to sleep on a public bicycle." Wang Ji smiled and said, "It's okay for Mr. to sleep on his own. There is only one Ranghou in Qin."
