"So, when did you get on such good terms with Lord Xinling?" Shu Li looked at Lord Chang'an who was sitting opposite the fire.
"Well, after he returned." Chang'an Jun touched his chin, thinking about where to start, but his eyes drifted to Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, who were sitting upright aside, "Speaking of these two
yes?"
Shuli turned around and looked at the two people who were concentrating on grilling fish, as if they couldn't hear what they were saying, and introduced, "The one with the cold face is my nephew, named Gai Nie. The other cold-faced Bai Mao is my apprentice, named
Make Wei Village."
Wei Zhuang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Shu Li call him Baimao.
If Shu Li hadn't been his master, if he hadn't been unable to defeat him, he would have drawn his sword.
The wooden stick for grilling fish that Gai Nie was holding shook slightly, but it was not very obvious. However, Shuli saw two words clearly written on Gai Nie's face: hold back, can't laugh.
"It turns out he is a master disciple of Guigu, whom I have admired for a long time." Although he said this, there was no look of admiration on Lord Chang'an's face at all, and he still looked lazy.
After all, no matter what, my daughter is also the current junior sister of Guiguzi.
Gai Nie nodded slightly towards Chang'an Jun, while Wei Zhuang concentrated on the grilled fish in his hands.
Lord Chang'an was holding a jade bottle and watching with a hint of curiosity as the two descendants of Guigu were so focused on grilling fish. This scene was also rare to see in a century.
Shu Li watched the grilled fish in Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's hands turn black little by little, and reminded, "It's time to turn it over."
The two of them turned the fish over belatedly, but Shuli knew from the look of the fish that it was probably half-cooked afterward.
Finally, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's grilled fish was finally done. If you ignore the unknown black substance that clings to the surface of the meat because it has not been turned over for a long time, it should be edible.
Shuli just glanced at it lightly.
It should not be a heterocyclic amine.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang also looked at the grilled fish in their hands and frowned. Logically speaking, it should be edible.
"Master, Young Master, the food is ready." He asked Lord Chang'an for his opinion, then moved the folding table and placed the fragrant food neatly in front of Shuli and Lord Chang'an.
"Wait a minute, give them some too." Shu Li stopped the servants, looked at Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang who were struggling to eat, and said.
"Here."
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang looked at each other sheepishly, then silently put away the grilled fish in their hands.
It's really not that unpalatable.
Following the caravan of Shu Li and his entourage, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang walked from Qi State to Wei State, enjoying good food, drink and good accommodation.
"Okay, you go and complete your trial. That will be your tool for the next journey." Shuli pointed to the carriage that had just been driven by a servant.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang turned their heads and looked at a bare carriage filled with straw, which was in sharp contrast to the luxurious carriage that had been used to provide shelter from the wind and rain when they were on their way.
"Heaven is going to entrust this man with a great responsibility. He must first work hard for his mind and body, and that's it." Shuli clapped his hands and drew the two people's attention back, "You go and complete your trial. This is it."
After this trial, you will be able to leave the army."
Of course, it's not that simple to get started, but Shuli might as well paint the pie for them first.
Standing on the carriage, Shu Li waved goodbye to Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, "We'll leave first."
Watching the motorcade leave, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang looked at the carriage loaded with straw.
"Xiaozhuang, let's go too." Gai Nie walked towards the car, obviously preparing to drive.
Wei Zhuang responded, jumped onto the straw pile, lay down, pulled a straw and put it into his mouth, holding [Shark Tooth] in his arms, "Let's go, Senior Brother."
That night.
Shu Li once again sat by the fire with Lord Chang'an. Although it was the same situation a few days ago, it was just that tonight there were two missing people, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.
Some words are still suitable for Shu Li and Chang'an Jun to talk to each other.
"How is it?" Shuli asked Mr. Chang'an.
Lord Chang'an has also said before that the [Shang Alliance]'s control over the Wei State radiates from Daliang to the entire Wei State, and has basically taken over the entire Wei State.
Shu Li is now asking about Lord Chang'an's understanding of Lord Xinling.
"A mad genius." Chang'an Jun replied.
Because Lord Changan discovered that since Lord Xinling returned to the country, the [Business Alliance]’s control of the Wei State has accelerated instantly, and it has gone smoothly. However, it is a little too smooth, and has a strong contradiction with the previous obstruction, so it caused
He caught Chang'an Jun's attention.
After peeling off the cocoons one by one, he finally discovered that it was Lord Xinling who had been secretly pushing the waves all along, mixing his own power with the trend, and intertwining the forces of the [Business Alliance] and his.
Although it seems that the [Business Alliance] controls the entire economy of Wei, Lord Xinling is holding the [Business Alliance] at its waist.
To put it simply, the [Business Alliance] is not like the ones in Qi and Yan that can easily disturb the economy of the entire country and escape unscathed, or even make a fortune. On the contrary, Lord Xinling forced the [Shang Alliance]
】Entangled with Wei State.
If the state of Wei is destroyed, the people in the state of Wei will also be greatly strengthened by the death of the state of Wei, and they will not be able to recover for at least thirty to fifty years.
Of course, on the contrary, if the [Shang Alliance] makes Wei strong, it will only feed the [Shang Alliance] itself more.
However, the premise of everything is that Lord Xinling is always alive.
That's why Lord Chang'an answered like that.
Relying on one person to try to forcibly support a country, all the intersections passed through Lord Xinling. If it is not the most powerful self-confidence, it is blind arrogance.
Of course, Chang'an Lord has no choice but to completely push out the Wei State and attack the enemy again.
But if you choose to do this, you will inevitably have to bear the consequences of Lord Xinling cutting off his lifeline and relying on the 'body' left behind by the [Business Alliance] to reconnect the entire Wei Kingdom.
If they really did that, it would be hard for Lord Chang'an to imagine what price they would have to pay if the [Business Alliance] wanted to enter the Wei Kingdom again.
Therefore, he chose to maintain the current situation, just like in South Korea, and then wait for a breaking point.
After looking at Shu Li who had lost consciousness for some time, Chang'an Jun shouted, "Chan'er! What are you thinking about? Help me find a solution."
"Huh? What?"
Chang'an Jun's mind is full of dark things.
You were the one who asked me, but you were the one who lost interest midway. What are you doing?
"What's wrong with you? Let me tell you as a father." Chang'an Jun walked to Shu Li and sat down.
Shu Li glanced at Chang'an Jun, thought for a while, and then asked the question "Why am I me?"
Chang'an Jun raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Is there such an evil thing in this world? So, I can be you, and you can also be me? Isn't this nonsense?"
Shu Li didn't expect Changan Jun to give any answer, so she changed the question, "If the person you like marries someone she has never met, will you still accept him?"
Chang'an Jun touched his chin and thought carefully, then stared at Shu Li, "You ask this question, which family's boy is so lucky."
"So your answer?"
"Well, if I have to put it this way, if I were a woman, I definitely wouldn't want my husband to be frivolous." Then Chang'an Jun looked at Shu Li and said earnestly, "But Chan'er, how many people are happy with each other?
What about those who finally get married? Especially for us disciples of princes and nobles, marriage is more like a transaction, a negotiation on the division of weight of interests."
After saying that, Chang'an Jun raised his head and took a sip of wine and sighed, "In this vanity fair, if you don't have 100% right to speak, no one can help themselves."
