Chapter 35 Section 7 Snow Night Tracking

Let's say that Wei Liao is walking westward slowly, the prosperity of Xianyang is far behind, and the front is getting more and more desolate.It was the end of the year, and the snow was like a mat on the ground, and everything was white.The wilderness is vast, with no trace of people, and you can meet scattered animals, or there are geese falling in the sand, or hungry eagles gathering in the wild fields.After many days of trekking, Wei Liao's pace still maintained the same rhythm, neither speeding up nor slowing down.The north wind was like a knife, and it carved Wei Liao's old face more and more stern, as emotionless as a rock.When is this, it has nothing to do, where is this, I don't remember.It was as if his whole life was just walking.

However, just such a person who has already explored the moment of life and death suddenly had a look of excitement on his face.Wei Liao stopped, took a deep breath, hmm, the air smelled of fireworks, wine and meat.Wei Liao turned around the corner of the mountain, and saw a snow field swept away on the road ahead, and a large bonfire was burning in the road, blowing up the fragrance of pine wood from time to time.On the bonfire, a large jug of wine was being boiled and an elk was roasting. I can't see it, because the flesh of the elk is already tender yellow, and the fat from the roasting is like the sweat of a beautiful woman, slowly dripping down.It can't be smelled, because the smell of wine is mixed with the smell of meat, drifting with the wind, unstoppable.

The full moon is in the sky, and there is silence for a hundred miles.Beside the bonfire, a man sat upright, with a relaxed attitude and extraordinary appearance, obviously not a villager from the nearby mountains.Opposite the man, lay out an empty seat, as if waiting for something. Seeing Wei Liao, the man smiled and said, "Sir, the journey is hard, why don't you take a break, warm yourself by the fire, and enjoy drinking with me?" Wei Liao looked ahead and saw that the road was still long, so he sat down calmly without thanking him.The man's smile didn't change, he took a knife and cut off the elk's leg meat to serve, Wei Liao took it and chewed it.The men invited each other over for a drink, and Wei Liao would not refuse anyone who came, drinking wildly.

In a short time, the meat will be exhausted and the wine will be exhausted.Wei Liao breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands on his belly, and said, "I have received such good hospitality for no reason, I can't repay this old man, I am ashamed and ashamed." The man said, "It's cold and lonely in the wild, with Mr. as your company, you can talk about loneliness. It's me who is thanking Mr.." Wei Liao drank another cup, fixed his eyes on the man, and said with a smile, "Thank you Li Tingwei, I can't afford it." The man laughed loudly, and said, "It's a good night, and the meat and wine are ready for you. I can't hide it from you, Mr. Li Si."

The corner of Wei Liao's mouth twitched, and he said mockingly, "Cao San sent you here, right?" Li Si's face was serious, and he said, "Sir, are you drunk? At this time, Cao San has not yet been born. I am here to meet you at the king's order, and invite you to return to Xianyang." Hearing this, Wei Liao stuck his hand down his throat, pulled it out, then lowered his head, vomited up all he had just eaten, then took snow to rinse his mouth, and then said, "Good wine and good meat, the old man has no luck to enjoy it, let alone riches and splendors? Didn't Wei hear the song saying: "How long can I live in the physical universe, why don't you just let me go and stay? The old man will travel west, and Tingwei is lucky not to force him to stay."

Wei Liao's move was ruthless enough, and Li Si's nerves were strong enough, so he could sit quietly and watch without showing any surprise.Li Si took a sip of his wine slowly, and then began to talk about Wei Liao.Li Si used to talk about Yingzheng, although he sometimes spoke fiercely, but he always adhered to the distinction between superior and inferior.When talking about Wei Liao today, because of the equal status, the tone is particularly relaxed, even teasing. In this world, not everyone has strengths, but what is certain is that everyone has weaknesses.As long as you find a weakness, you can do anything.So, what is Wei Liao's weakness?But Li Si said leisurely, "The general trend of the world, sir must be well aware of it. No matter whether the Qin army is brutal and bloodthirsty, or whether it is benevolent and righteous, they can unify the world." As he spoke, Li Si graciously drank wine for Wei Liao and toasted Congratulations.Wei Liao was so frustrated that he couldn't help drinking.

Li Si said again, "Mr. Wei Liaozi used soldiers as weapons and benevolence and righteousness as his goal. Now that Qin wants to annex the world, it can take it with benevolence and righteousness, or with martial arts. Confucius once said:' Who can go out of the house? Why don't you do it?'Once Qin takes over the world, he can't help the way of the master, and I am afraid that the master will share the sorrow with Confucius." After Li Si finished speaking, he cut up the venison to serve Wei Liao.Wei Liao was chewing the meat, but he couldn't taste it anymore.Li Si, on the other hand, ate even more deliciously.Li Si waited until he had some space in his mouth, and then said again, "Mencius once said that people can't bear others. Looking at you now, you will know what Mencius said is absurd. Climbing Donggao to Shuxiao, Linqingliu As for composing poems, Mr. enjoys the pleasures of other worlds, while allowing the Qin army to take over the world with martial arts, slaughter Kyushu, and blood flow everywhere. According to Li Si, Mr. is not willing to let him go or stay, but he really has the heart to let him go and stay."

Wei Liao was uneasy.Li Si poured the wine again and said with a big laugh, "In this snowy scene, bright moon, and beautiful mountains and rivers, it's time to indulge in wine and sing songs, thinking about things outside the world, thinking about the loneliness of Chang Moth, and the fragrance of sweet osmanthus. After many years, even though the Central Plains is in chaos, killings continue, lonely and widowed everywhere , The life is miserable, and it has nothing to do with the husband, and there is no need to worry about it now. Come, Li Si will treat you to wine." Wei Liao was sweating profusely, and said in horror, "What Tingwei said, I have never thought about it. Although the old man wants to be used by the King of Qin, but his power is weak, and he may not be able to recover in the end."

Li Si laughed and said, "Know people, and then do them well. You must make people get what they want, and then you can make the best use of them. Mr. Wang Zhi also, I would like to worship you as a captain of the country, and let the three armies listen to him. The way of the six countries depends entirely on it." Sir too." After finishing speaking, he paid Wei Liao with the State Wei Xishou.Wei Liao took it, sighed for a long time and said: "Your Majesty will not abandon the old, and is willing to do the work of dogs and horses." Li Si clapped his hands, and a group of people rushed out like ghosts.Li Si invited Wei Liao to mount his horse, and with the bridle, set off towards Xianyang.The two chatted along the way, very happily.When we talked about rising, Li Si said again, "I will tell you an anecdote, so as to avoid the long-distance problems. It is said that during World War II, there was a physicist named Bohr. The technology he mastered was enough to determine the outcome of the war." In order to prevent him from falling into the hands of the German army, the British government secretly sent a cargo plane to take him from Denmark to London. When he arrived in London, the pilot showed Boer with the cargo list, but it read: First-class combat readiness materials, if attacked by the enemy Aircraft attack, immediately destroyed by airdrop, must not fall into the hands of the German army."

Wei Liao was confused when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Why did Lieutenant Ting say this suddenly? Could it be that the old man is Boer, and Lieutenant Ting received the same order as the pilot received?" Li Si laughed and said, "I didn't say that. According to quantum mechanics, you and I are actually Bohrs, and there is no definite existence. It was only when people came to observe that the wave function collapsed instantly, which made it clear for a while."
