Chapter 271 Return to Qin (2)
"King Huiwen of Zhao State is not a fool. He cannot easily give up the opportunity to quarrel. The Changsun of the King of Qin fell into his hands. If he did not ask for enough benefits, he would never let us go."
Lu Buwei looked worried, and it could be seen that he was really worried about Yi Ren.
"What you just said...we"
Xia Ji obviously grabbed the words in Lu Buwei's words and asked lightly: "You plan to leave Zhao State and return to Qin with us."
Lu Buwei nodded, without any intention of concealing his thoughts.
"If the Yiren brother returns to Qin successfully, he will definitely be a strong competitor to the throne. Although my Lu family has greatly lost its strength, his foundation is still there and he can give him strong support in terms of wealth. But our Lu family doesn't want much, as long as we can have a place in the court."
"So, from the beginning, you risked offending Zhao Mu to contact Wuer, and you were the ones you were thinking about."
Seeing that Lu Buwei's expression was as usual and did not deny it, Xia Ji nodded secretly in her heart, obviously agreeing with Lu Buwei's statement. There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hatred for no reason. Lu Buwei helped Yiren so much and said that he had no desires. That was a lie, especially Lu Buwei's identity as a merchant, which made Xia Ji always keep vigilant. After all, merchants are profit-oriented and they cannot get up early without profit.
Since he has something to ask for, he can use it. Lu Buwei is not stupid. If anyone can help him restore the glory of the Lu family in the shortest time, then there is only Yi Ren, the only choice.
"Since you can ask this question, I think you must have a slept with a slut, so why not tell me it."
Xia Ji pointed to the short couch next to her and signaled Lu Buwei to sit down and talk in detail.
"Madam, it's not easy to return to Qin, so we must prepare early." Lu Buwei paused, thought for a while before continuing: "After Qin knew this news, he would definitely send a letter of state to ask for people, but we all know that this is just a form. King Zhao would definitely ask for a price everywhere. If I guess it's good, even if King Qin agreed, I wouldn't be able to replace his wife and Yiren brothers. King Zhao would only speak up again. The Qin people never had a precedent for losing. Generally, others would not give it to us, and we would go directly to take it. Therefore, no matter what the result of submitting the letter of state, Qin would definitely use this reason to raise troops to attack Zhao, rather than to make a complete set of jade. The Qin people's style has always been like this, and the prince's fate can be seen."
"That means that we must escape from Handan before the Qin soldiers arrive, and hide in the Qin army as fast as possible. If we can't get out of the city at a slower rate, or if we are caught up by the Zhao soldiers who follow us after we leave the city, we will all be dead. Therefore, if we want to succeed in the plan, we must ensure two points."
"The first is a waist card that can leave the city at any time. The second is that there are sufficient personnel to protect us. I don't know if my wife still remembers her former family will win the Guang."
"Of course I remember." Xia Ji heard Lu Buwei's question and replied subconsciously: "This person is quite capable, brave and resourceful. It's a pity that he has died at Hangu Pass. What do you mention him to do?"
"Don't Madam know that there is a man named Ying Guang who has unified the Wei Kingdom. He has many powerful generals under him who can fight well, and although he does not have the name of a great king, he has the reality of a great king. He has stabilized the situation of the Wei Kingdom and is silently developing his own power."
Xia Ji opened her mouth in surprise. She knew about the coup in Weiguo. She had also heard of the name Ying Guang, but she had never linked this king of a country with the young general at that time. In her eyes, this was completely impossible. Until today, Lu Buwei said it, she felt a sudden realization.
"Buwei and Brother Ying have a good relationship. As long as the wife writes a letter, I think Brother Ying will definitely help you if he cares about his original kindness. In this way, the guard problem can be solved. However, this waist card that goes out of the city... is difficult, but simple and simple..."
Lu Buwei paused for a while, as if he was thinking about how to speak more tactfully. After hesitating for a while, Lu Buwei said slowly: "I have inquired about this kind of low-key card that can leave the city at any time. There are only three in the entire Handan, one in the palace, King Huiwen's hand, and the other in the hands of General Li Mu, and this third piece... is in the hands of Zhao Mu, the Hou of Julu."
What a smart person, Xia Ji, immediately heard what Lu Buwei meant. Although he was not happy, he knew that he was telling the truth, but the anger on his face was real. Lu Buwei knew at a glance that Xia Ji was really angry.
But Lu Buwei was not worried about Xia Ji's turn against each other, because more than a year ago, Xia Ji played Zhao Mu on his palm, and it seemed to have gained the upper hand on the surface, but in fact the fundamental situation had not changed at all. With Zhao Mu's patience, Xia Ji had probably been almost done. Even if Xia Ji's methods were against the will, once Zhao Mu la made a strong face, I'm afraid no one could protect her. Since I can't escape Zhao Mu's palm sooner or later, why not make full use of this opportunity to steal the waist card?
Neither of them spoke, and the room suddenly fell into silence. Xia Ji repeatedly compared gains and losses in her heart. In this way, even if she could escape back to Qin, her reputation would be completely ruined. It would be completely impossible to make Zhao Mu ruin this matter in his heart. This matter would definitely be widely publicized by those who are interested, and it would even be used by his son's political enemies and become a tool to attack him.
"You go down first, I have to think about it carefully, think about it."
Xia Ji seemed to have lost all her strength and leaned on the couch in a daze.
Lu Buwei sighed a long time, stood up and said goodbye, and walked to the door. He suddenly stopped, as if he was talking to himself.
"This opportunity is only once. If you miss it, you will be trapped in Handan forever. When that time comes, even if you don't die by chance, Zhao Mu will make us worse than death."
Life is worse than death
Xia Ji closed her eyes in pain, and her grandson's joy had long disappeared.
When Qin was a prostitute Yiren, he was happy to get Lin'er when he was a charity in Handan, and named him Zheng. This news spread rapidly throughout the Central Plains as if it had grown wings.
After King Huiwen of Zhao learned the news, he laughed and immediately ordered the dispatch of more personnel to the Proton House, and any suspicious persons who were close to the Proton House could be arrested first.
After King Zhao of Qin learned the news, he was silent for a long time. He immediately ordered Fan Sui to draft a letter of the country and sent it to Zhao State for the people. At the same time, he ordered the general Wang He to return to Xianyang quickly.
In Puyang, Ying Guang learned the news, he also received a letter of help from Xia Ji. Just when he was summoning Gongsun Ze to discuss countermeasures, A Er and A San escorted the bell to arrive in Puyang. To be continued.
