Chapter 10 It’s hard to have friends in Guigu
Shuli was wrapped in a thick white fur and was sitting on her knees in front of the house with her senior brother Gui Gu. There was a small stove beside her, a teapot was burning on the stove, and white catkins were falling in the air.
"It's true that I can't disagree with my junior sister's guess." Gui Gu said.
News came yesterday that the allied forces of Wei and Chu combined the Zhao army in the city to attack and drive back the Qin army. Qin general Zheng Ping'an failed to break through the encirclement many times and surrendered to Zhao with 20,000 troops.
"It's just a pity for Jin Bi, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years." Shu Li said with emotion.
Gui Gu glanced at Shu Li and realized that the junior sister didn't really feel sorry for him, so he asked, "Junior sister seems to have other feelings?"
"Senior brother once said that the world is like a chessboard. If the ghosts don't come out of the valley, the people who play chess are the kings of all countries." Shu Li picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of hot water.
"Junior sister asked me to build such an iron teapot just for the convenience of hot water?" She said as she also picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of hot water, "Huh~ not bad."
"Humans, in addition to living in this world, must also learn to enjoy it." Shuli took a sip of tea and held the teacup in her hand to warm it. "This may be the last game in the world."
"Sometimes, I really doubt whether my junior sister is the reincarnation of my ancestor. At least, none of the young geniuses I know." Gui Gu glanced at Shu Li, "No one is as evil as my junior sister."
Shu Li had thought about this issue before.
Are you pretending to be a normal child, or are you a little smarter, but within the normal range? Or are you pretending to be a normal kid, or are you just being who you are without hiding it at all?
Seven-year-old Xiang Luo (tuó) was regarded as a teacher by Confucius to ask questions. Twelve-year-old Gan Luo became the prime minister of Qin. Cao Chong, who was five or six years old, had extraordinary wisdom.
I was only three to five years early.
What's more, the ancients seemed to be quite receptive to geniuses.
It's just that none of these geniuses seems to live long.
"Ahem, it's crooked." Shuli glanced at her senior brother and found that he was just drinking tea silently.
Shuli:(/“≡_≡)=
Senior brother has not said much in the past few months. He has been analyzing the world situation by himself.
Hey, I'm just a new Guigu disciple, okay?
As if he sensed Shu Li's resentment, Gui Gu put down his tea cup and said, "The three Jin and Chu states are adjacent to Qin, and the Zhao state has only a few decades to recover. When the Wei state lost Lord Xinling, it lost its sword edge.
South Korea is weak and has lost Shangdang. Chu has lost its entire kingdom. Yan and Qi are far apart, and they even want to take advantage of Qin to attack the three Jins to gain benefits."
After taking a sip of tea, Gui Gu continued: "The world has been in dispute for hundreds of years. Countries have plotted against each other and played games with each other. But now, Qin can crush the countries in the east and has the ability to flip the chessboard. Only the six countries can resist if they join forces.
In Qin, the balance has tilted."
"Indeed." Shu Li took Gui Gu's words and continued, "It's just a pity that King Qin is a little impatient. Firstly, Fan Ju keeps visiting Nayan, and secondly, he is already old, so he has to be impatient."
The current King of Qin, later King Zhaoxiang of Qin, lived for seventy-five years and reigned for fifty-six years. During the first forty-one years of his reign, his power was eclipsed by his mother, the Queen Mother Xuan, and his uncle Wei Ran.
It can be said that the life of King Qin Zhaoxiang was half of the Warring States Period.
So, can he not be in a hurry?
He wanted to gain greater benefits for Qin and himself while he was still alive.
"The six countries no longer have the strength to compete with Qin." Gui Gu stood up and reached out to catch a snowflake, "Next year, junior sister will be able to gradually practice martial arts."
Shuli suddenly cheered, "Senior brother, you are finally going to teach me martial arts!?"
In the past, my senior brother had been delaying the teaching time because he was too young and practicing martial arts too early would have an impact on his physical development. He had always just read and collected books.
To put it simply, I have been practicing internal strength before, and now I am finally starting to master martial arts moves.
"Just some basic moves to strengthen your body," Gui Gu said.
"That's okay."
Anyway, when I grow up, my senior brother will no longer have any excuse to reject me.
Shuli was practicing vigorously in the yard. Her small body and serious expression made her look so cute.
Gui Gu sat on his knees in front of the house, holding a piece of silk in his hand, checking the newly sent world intelligence.
"Senior brother, what's wrong? What happened again?" Shu Li walked up to him, picked up the teacup on the side and drank it in one gulp.
"Here, junior sister, let's take a look." Gui Gu handed over the silk in his hand.
"Huh?" Shuli took it and spread it on the floor, "This is. So, Zhou is gone?"
Gui Gu pondered and nodded.
"However, the King of Zhou is a bit too brave this time." Shu Li looked in disbelief, "He dared to attack Qin with only 5,000 people. Who gave him the courage? Liang Jingru?"
"Who is Liang Jingru?"
"Senior brother, don't worry about it."
Gui Gu nodded slightly, but still remembered the name in his heart, "As far as I know, the reason why King Zhou dared to attack Qin with five thousand troops was because he listened to King Chu and summoned the six countries to send troops to attack Qin in the name of the emperor.
"
"But it's obvious that King Zhou was deceived." After a pause, Shu Li continued, "But King Qin actually dared to risk the disdain of the world and overthrow King Zhou, even though King Zhou is dead in name only."
Doesn't this give other countries an excuse to conquer Qin? If the six eastern countries are once again provoked to join forces to attack Qin, then all the land that Qin has swallowed before may be vomited out.
I just don’t know if the Six Kingdoms still have the courage to challenge Qin.
"Huh? Wait, Bai Qi is dead?" Shuli then saw the information written in the second half.
Lord Wu'an of the Qin State and the God of War Bai Qi died.
But what Shuli remembered was that Bai Qi died in the year of the HD battle.
Moreover, in the Qin Dynasty, there were two different opinions about the cause of Bai Qi’s death:
One is from Brother Zheng’s mouth, King Zhaoxiang granted Bai Qi’s death on the grounds that Bai Qi had the ability to rebel.
The second is from the farmer's mouth, the war god Bai Qi was besieged and attacked by the leader of the sixth hall of the farmer's family who had been cultivating for a long time using the twenty-four formations of the land and died.
But Shu Li estimated that with the abilities of the big cat and kitten from the farm, it was a complete fantasy to be able to enter the Qin Kingdom where there were so many masters, and to be able to set up formations to strangle Bai Qi.
It can be inferred from the words of Wang Yan in the companion chapter that it was the King of Qin who ordered Bai Qi to die, and there is no mention of any relationship with the peasant family.
"That's right. A famous general and a sharp sword were destroyed in the hands of the sword master. It's sad and pitiful." Gui Gu sighed in a rare way.
Shuli looked sideways, "Senior brother seems to respect Bai Qi very much?"
I feel that my senior brother doesn't have many emotional fluctuations, and he behaves like a calm and mature person every day.
"Many years ago, Bai Qi and I were drinking on the river. He is the sharpest sword in the world. No one can stop his attack, and all obstacles will be cut off one by one." Gui Gu recalled the past days.
"Senior brother and Bai Qi are good friends?" Shu Li asked with interest.
"Yes and no, it's hard for Gui Gu to have friends." Gui Gu seemed to be sighing, "But equally, as a sharp sword, he doesn't have many friends either."
"Oh~" Shu Li understood, "By the way, senior brother, when was the last time you met?"
"More than twenty years ago, due to his outstanding military exploits, he was awarded the title of - [Jun Wu'an]."
