He has a handsome face, neat short hair, a pair of piercing eyes, a light blue and white outfit with some metal embellishments, wristbands on his arms, a braided belt around his waist, and a dark blue cloak.
Ge Nie held the sword independently, the scabbard held behind his back, and his dark blue cloak fluttered slightly.
"You know I'm here." Ganie said.
Wei Zhuang turned his head and looked at Gai Nie, "There is only one place in Xinzheng, which can be moved forward or backward, vertically or horizontally. It is called Tianshu."
"Tianshu is the guide of heaven and man. If you go against it, you will definitely fail even if you succeed."
After Gai Nie finished speaking, the two of them sheathed their swords at the same time.
Wei Zhuang: "Before all things, the Yuanfang Gate, although it can be restored, will not lose its power."
"The common people are confused and the world is confused."
"Philosophers,"
"Only I control everything."
A smile appeared on Wei Zhuang's lips, and he looked sideways at Gai Nie, "Brother."
Gai Nie responded with a doting look, "Xiao Zhuang."
"Senior Brother, it seems that I am not too surprised by my appearance."
With a slight smile on his lips, Gai Nie shook his head slightly and looked to where he didn't know. "If such movements can't arouse your alertness, maybe you should ask the master to make up for the lessons again."
"However, it is quite surprising that that person actually came to Xinzheng in person. When you are in a dangerous situation, do you have confidence in yourself or in you, senior brother?"
Wei Zhuang stared at Gai Nie closely.
Gai Nie retracted his gaze and looked at Wei Zhuang, shaking his head slightly, "I'm just following orders."
Wei Zhuang sneered, "Senior brother should know better than me the pain that the Great Qin Cavalry has brought to the world."
Gai Nie still shook his head slightly, "After leaving Ghost Valley, I met Ying Zheng. He said he wanted to end this troubled world, and he said he wanted to save the people."
"I never thought that senior brother would be able to trust people so easily." Wei Zhuang complained without hesitation.
"Xiaozhuang, you talk too much."
Wei Zhuang:.
"Hmph, senior brother chose the powerful Qin country, couldn't it be because he was afraid?"
Gai Nie just smiled softly, "I just hope that someone will not be discouraged by failure."
Wei Zhuang made a sound and turned his head, not wanting to argue with Gai Nie anymore.
"What's he doing in Xinzheng?" Wei Zhuang asked instead.
Ganie was silent for a while.
Although he is not good at lying, it would not be a bit bad if he directly said that the main purpose of Ying Zheng's coming to Xinzheng was to bring back the queen.
No,
Perhaps no one will believe this reason.
Seeing Gai Nie's delay in speaking, Wei Zhuang thought Gai Nie was unwilling to answer, so he turned around and took a look, only to find Gai Nie frowning slightly.
"Hearing that the name [Quick Sand] has become famous in Xinzheng recently, he also admires Han Fei's talent."
Gai Nie thought for a while and decided to tell the incidental reason.
Wei Zhuang raised his eyebrows.
His intuition told him that Genie was hiding something.
But he couldn't guess the reason yet, so he just assumed that what Gai Nie said was true.
"That's it." Wei Zhuang understood.
"The King of Chu has promised that the clan leader will join the central government immediately and assume the position of Right Sima. The clan leader, the son, will assume the position of Langzhong, leading the Xiang clan and protecting the safety of the palace."
After Shu Li returned to Xiang's fiefdom from Yingdu Palace, he immediately conveyed the good news to Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan was indeed overjoyed to hear this.
Their Xiang clan is descended from the Xiang Kingdom, whose surname was Ji, who was personally granted the title of King of Zhou. They are of noble blood.
However, the old country was destroyed, and the king's descendants were scattered in all directions.
They lived in exile in the Chu Kingdom. Although they fought hard for generations, they could only barely join the aristocratic class.
At the same time, as traditional martial aristocrats, they were crowded out by the old aristocrats.
Over the years, only a handful of them have served in the imperial court.
He once became a political fringe figure.
He was ridiculed by the old nobles as a barbarian who only knew how to fight because he had no strength.
"I am here. I would like to thank the princess." Xiang Yan stood up and bowed deeply to Shu Li.
Xiang Qu and Xiang Liang, who were sitting behind him, also followed Xiang Yan and bowed deeply to Shu Li.
Shu Li also quickly stood up and helped Xiang Yan up, "The patriarch's words are serious. It's just the rewards that come with hard work."
If Shu Li hadn't been here, Xiang Yan would have been so excited that she cried.
After many years, the Xiang clan finally had a chance to enter the central government.
Only when they enter the important realm can they get rid of the title of "Martial Barbarian" and truly become nobles.
but,
The Xiang family really helped Shuli a lot.
As for the Xiang clan's military strength, Shu Li's memories of past lives, whether it was animation or history, all proved that they were brave and good at fighting.
They can fight against the powerful Qin army, let alone the army of the pampered old nobles.
But precisely because of this, Shuli still needs to take some vaccinations.
If the army of the old nobles was vulnerable, the Xiang family would not waste much time in getting rid of them.
Although it could give the King of Chu a high impression, it was obviously detrimental to Shu Li's subsequent plans.
If possible, Shu Li hopes that the two sides can fall into a stalemate for a period of time until he resolves the Korean affairs.
"However, I would like to give some suggestions to the clan leader." Shuli said sincerely, "I am thinking about you."
Xiang Yan motioned Shu Li to sit down and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"I know that the Xiang clan is brave and good at fighting. If things happen as we expected. If the opponent's army is really vulnerable, I still suggest that the clan leader delays the battle as long as possible."
Xiang Yan frowned.
From the perspective of their military strategists, a battle that can be resolved as quickly as possible will never leave the enemy a single breath.
Seeing Xiang Yan's expression, Shu Li uttered four words in a leisurely manner, "Raise the invaders to respect themselves."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yan's eyes widened, her expression suddenly changed, and then she lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
"Patriarch, we all know that this is an opportunity to reshuffle the cards. What achievements the Xiang clan can achieve in the future will all depend on the patriarch's thoughts." Shu Li continued to seduce.
Xiang Yan raised her head and stared at Shu Li, the expression on her face constantly changing.
One thought after another kept flashing through my mind.
He certainly hopes that the Xiang family can join the imperial court, become a true noble, and restore the past glory of their ancestors.
"Then the princess thinks it is necessary to completely eliminate the root cause?"
Xiang Yan is testing.
Shu Li's plan seemed to be all for his own benefit, but he was worried that Shu Li wanted to take the opportunity to plunge Chu State into internal strife and weaken Chu State's strength.
Although he hoped that the Xiang family would enter the central government, he was still a Chu general before that.
Shu Li noticed Xiang Yan's sudden change in tone of voice and the scrutinizing look in her eyes, and couldn't help but reflect on whether she was being too deliberate and exposing her intentions.
But delaying the answer will only aggravate Xiang Yan's suspicion.
"No." Shuli replied immediately and quickly started brainstorming, which was somewhat beyond her control.
What is Xiang Yan worried about?
Is it their Xiang clan? Or those old nobles?
or.
"What the clan leader needs is just the voice of the court, not provoking civil strife, so all he needs is to force them to give up their positions in the court."
