Chapter 164

Since the return of the Marquis of Wei on the 18th, Wu'an City has become lively for several days, and every household has smiled happily to celebrate the great victory of the Wei State.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the new wines and aged wines from major wine shops in Wu'an City were sold out, and many butchers were almost in short supply.

As the most powerful Wei country in the world, they were proud of their own country and cheered for the victory of Wei.

One day, two days, three days...five days, until the sixth and seventh day, the wave of cheering subsided.

But what is strange is that some rumors gradually appeared in Wu'an City, a stream of extreme news.

According to those news, Wei did not defeat Qi in Xiangping County, but instead suffered heavy losses in its own troops and generals.

Even the Marquis of Wei fled in a hurry and was driven away by the Qi army, so it took so long to return to Wu'an.

The message also said that it won’t be long before the four kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Qin and Wu will be followed by the emperor’s decree and join forces with the nations to attack Wei.

In some alleys, some street markets, and some tramp places, these messages appear the most.

Such stormy news caught everyone off guard, but out of trust in their own country, their first reaction was to think that the news was fake.

But whether everyone believes it or not, rumors spread more and more intensely in Wu'an City.

Saying a lie once is a lie, saying it ten times is a false, but saying it once... a thousand times... or even ten thousand times?

If you listen too much, people will naturally believe and half-doubt, and even believe in others.

Since the rumors appeared, the government has actually organized forces to suppress them, but the results have been minimal.

When the problems later began to be serious and showed a trend of expansion, the government wanted to suppress them again, and found that everyone was talking and had no idea how to start.

In fact, such rumors had already appeared in Wu'an City before the Marquis of Wei returned, but they had not received the attention of the Chinese people, and even those who spread rumors were regarded as being crazy.

When the Marquis of Wei returned, such a discordant sound naturally seemed harsh and conspicuous.

Naturally, this kind of news can attract everyone's attention, so that when you participate, as long as the government does not take the attention and is slightly guided by someone with a heart, it can cause huge waves.

…………

"The waves outside are getting bigger and bigger!"

Standing behind the desk, Wei Wuji put down his pen, picked up the bamboo slips on the table, and looked at them carefully.

These days he has not left home and has been practicing writing because he really needs to strengthen this skill.

Of course, staying at home can also ensure safety, especially when the storm is about to come.

The task that Zheng Dali has actually been to protect Wei Wuji, but he also has eyes, eyes that look outside for Wei Wuji.

"Young Master, now rumors are getting louder in the city." Zheng Dali stood in front of the desk and replied in a deep voice.

Wei Wuji shook his head slightly, without showing any surprise.

The so-called wind will not cause waves. It seems that what the Marquis of Wei said is that the fact that the Wei Kingdom is not peaceful now is true.

Suddenly, Wei Wuji's mind came back to the point where he encountered the teahouse before Wei Hou returned to Wu'an.

At that time, the Qi people were slandering themselves and saying that their merits were all fake?

Thinking about it now, at that time, the spreaders of rumors are now building momentum for the rumors today.

Fortunately, I still felt that that person was out of reach! Wei Wuji mocked himself in his heart. Now it seems that the real stupid one has become himself.

Anyone does things with purpose, so how can he explain it easily with stupidity?

"Young Master, why do the rumors in the court allow these rumors to spread? Why don't they forcefully prohibit them?" Zheng Dali said inconsolable, and was also confused about the calm Wei Wuji showed.

Faced with Zheng Dali's problem, Wei Wuji thought about it and said, "The court officials are naturally acting, but they can't stop them."

"Can you catch all the people in Wu'an City?" Wei Wuji sneered.

In fact, Wei Wuji was not very clear about the joints in it, and he could only infer based on the information he had learned.

The biggest reliance on his conclusion was his conversation with Wei Hou that night.

It is precisely because of this that Wei Wuji felt something was wrong. If the rumors said, wouldn’t Wei have reached the end of his life?

But judging from the performance of Wei Hou that day, he just seemed a little tired, and there was no particular loss or decadence in his eyes.

So Wei Wuji didn't know what the situation was, and he couldn't show the advantage at all.

"Of course, we can't arrest people randomly!" Zheng Dali also agreed.

How could hundreds of thousands of people be arrested in Wu'an City? Even if they are arrested, there is no place to release them, unless the country is transformed into a prison.

If this is the case, I am afraid that the Wei Kingdom will be destroyed without waiting for others to attack.

"Da Li, look at my word "Young Master"?" Wei Wuji handed out the bamboo slip in his hand and said.

Zheng Dali took a step forward and took it before he could read it. He praised him repeatedly, "Young Master's calligraphy is absolutely not enough. I am afraid that few of the officials in the court can be so powerful..."

This is a very stiff flattering flattery. Anyway, Wei Wuji was not satisfied after hearing this.

"You bastard, just say ok after you see it." Wei Wuji cursed with a smile, and he had the urge to kick the guy again.

Only then did Zheng Dali pick up the bamboo slips and start to look carefully.

But when he saw this, he was stunned.

This bamboo slip is written in only two words, "Strength".

Strength strength strength strength strength...

Zheng Dali rubbed his eyes, afraid that his eyes would be blurred, but the result was still the same.

"Young Master, what does this mean..." Zheng Dali said in confusion.

"You don't know the word strength?" Wei Wuji asked back.

"Young Master, I know the subordinate of the character ", but what does this mean?" Zheng Dali replied, what is the use of practicing these two words.

Wei Wuji had a solemn face and said in a deep voice, "Only strength is the most important thing in this troubled world."

When Zheng Dali heard Wei Wuji's unreasonable words, he was even more puzzled. Why did he suddenly say this?

"So, the young master has been practicing martial arts recently?" Zheng Dali asked, as if the previous doubts had answers.

Wei Wuji walked to the table and turned his back to Zheng Dali, "It's not just that. I'm going to tell you this today, and I have to tell you to do other things."

Seeing that there was a task to come down, Zheng Dali immediately bowed and said, "Please give me instructions..."

Wei Wuji nodded slightly before turning around and facing Zheng Dali, "You have been helping me find out the news, but you are not good at these things after all..."

"So, in the future, you should pay more attention to those well-informed people in places where dragons and snakes are mixed, and then record them quietly." Wei Wuji stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of seriousness.

After hearing Wei Wuji say this, Zheng Dali knew roughly what the purpose of doing this was.

I saw him bow down and said, "Sir, obey your order!"

Wei Wuji nodded, and something else happened.

Practicing martial arts himself is to enhance his strength, but it is very limited after all. What Wei Wuji can do now is to change his dilemma of being invisible.

This is not just the purpose of spying on news. Wei Wuji already had ambitions in his heart, and he would eventually build a complete organization.
