The next day, Hu Hai received the news from Wei Li. He had used a series of means to persuade others to agree to the Wei family's surrender to him.
As for what methods Wei Li used, Hu Hai didn't care.
Subsequently, according to the results of previous discussions, the Wei family officially declared their surrender to Hu Hai, and Hu Hai also formally responded to accept it. This matter was equivalent to an end.
Along with Hu Hai's memorial was sent to Chang'an a letter written by Hu Hai to Huang Banban, asking him to transfer enough reliable people from Chang'an to Shangqiu to infiltrate the Wei family's industry.
These are what Lin Ze strongly requested. Don’t worry about whether the person arranging the arrangement understands it or not, and what their abilities are. The most important thing is to be loyal, and the number of people cannot be small. Get involved first.
Through the influence of these people, people in the Wei family gradually recognized Hu Hai and digested it bit by bit.
Of course, if someone in the Wei family disapproves or rejects them, Lin Ze can also use these loyal and reliable people to know which people they are, and finally carry out targeted elimination.
To conquer an established force requires means, time and patience, and Lin Ze does not lack these.
Moreover, it seems that Emperor Qin can still sit in that position for many years. The meat has already been eaten in his stomach and will be digested slowly.
…
Five days later, Emperor Qin had not yet replied to the memorial, but the people arranged by Huang Banban had already arrived in Shangqiu.
As soon as Hu Hai saw the person, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Miss Lu, why are you here?"
Lu Zhi wrinkled his nose and said proudly: "As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, why can't I come here? Taking care of the property under the master's family is the responsibility of my finance department. Why, the master doesn't welcome me?"
Hu Hai said with a silly smile: "Of course you are welcome, I am really surprised, hehe."
Lu Zhi rolled his eyes at Hu Hai, then looked around a few times and asked, "Why are you alone, Master? Isn't Master Lin here?"
A group of guards...
Hu Hai scratched his head and said, "Miss Lu is asking about Lin Ze, right? He should be eating right now. Come on, I will take you to find him."
Lu Fei raised his head and said, "Who is looking for him? I'm just asking out of curiosity. But you have to be careful, sir. If Lin Ze continues to eat like this, sooner or later the Ministry of Finance will be eaten up by him alone."
Hu Hai looked embarrassed and said: "That's not the case. Lin Ze has helped me a lot, so I can't let him go hungry. By the way, Miss Lu must be tired after coming from a long distance. I'll have someone clean up the place first.
Let the girl settle down first, and then we will formally entertain the girl in the evening."
Lu Pheasant saw that there was a lot of dust on his body, he couldn't help but blush, and whispered: "Then I'll leave first."
…
In the afternoon, in a wing room in a large house arranged by the Shangqiu City Wei family for Hu Hai, Lu Pheasant washed up and changed into a white fox coat and an emerald green skirt, looking particularly youthful and beautiful.
Under the leadership of the maid, they walked towards the banquet hall, and happened to meet Lin Ze at the entrance of the hall who had received the news of Hu Hai's banquet.
The two looked at each other.
Lin Ze couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Lu Zhi dressed up in a fancy dress, and then felt relieved.
It was Lin Ze's suggestion to arrange for someone from the Lu family to come over to manage the Wei family's property, but he didn't expect that it would be Lu Pheasant.
In Lin Ze's view, there are three advantages to having people from the Lu family take charge of the Wei family's industry: First, it can confuse different opinions and allow the newly conquered forces under Hu Hai to form a check and balance between each other, so that they will not form a country and ignore Hu Hai.
Secondly, the Lu family and the Wei family were both powerful in the past, and each suffered more misfortunes than the other. The Wei family was more likely to accept the jurisdiction of the Lu family.
Thirdly, Hu Hai is really short of people. Since the Lu family has been subdued, they cannot be abandoned. The purpose of transferring some people from the Lu family away from the Lu family property is also to subtly assimilate the people of the Lu family.
Lu Zhi saw Lin Ze looking at him a little dull, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He lowered his head slightly shyly, and then felt that he shouldn't be shy. He wanted to open his mouth and pretend to be angry, but found that Lin Ze didn't even say hello, so he walked into the lobby and found someone.
Take the seat.
"Huh!" Lu Pheasant snorted coldly and sat down opposite Lin Ze angrily. Then Han Xin, Chen Ping and others arrived and each found a seat to sit down.
Han Xin did not gain much this time. Although Hu Hai arranged for him to be in the middle, it was actually difficult for him to mobilize the imperial guards. Fortunately, Han Xin was not depressed. Instead, he excitedly deduced what he would do when he could lead an army of 100,000 people.
Do.
After everyone arrived, Hu Hai came belatedly and immediately expressed his welcome to Lu Fei's arrival, specially offering her the first glass of wine.
Then there was harmony, and I will not mention it.
…
The next day, Lin Ze was practicing his sword skills in the yard. Suddenly Hu Hai ran over and said, "Lin Ze, the weather is nice today. Let's go out to the city to hunt."
Lin Ze looked at the sky subconsciously, his face speechless. With this gloomy sky, are you sure the weather is good?
Before Lin Ze could refuse, Hu Hai immediately pulled him out and said, "Aren't you tired from practicing martial arts every day? Come with me quickly."
Lin Ze was dragged out of the house before Hu Hai let go of him, got on his horse, and said to a carriage in front of the door: "Miss Lu, everyone is here, let's go."
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Lu Pheasant was sitting in the carriage. He said to Hu Hai with a smile: "Then let's set off."
Lin Ze was speechless, why are you taking me with you to pick up girls?
Seeing that Lin Ze hadn't moved for a long time, Hu Hai couldn't help but urge: "Lin Ze, you should hurry up."
Lin Ze had no choice but to call the four elders of Fang Xiandao with a long whistle and said: "Elders, let's go hunting."
Breeze...
The closest gathering place for monsters in Shangqiu is Mangdang Mountain, fifty miles away, and Hu Hai's destination is also there.
Half an hour later, Lin Ze and his party arrived at the foot of Mangdang Mountain. Hu Hai first commanded the guards to set up a simple camp, settled the horses, and then said to Lu Pheasant: "Miss Lu, wait here for a moment, and we will soon hunt."
It’s coming.”
Then he turned to greet Lin Ze and said, "Let's go into the mountain separately." After saying that, he walked into the mountain forest first, followed closely by four sixth-grade palace guards.
Lin Ze told Chen Guang Lie Yang to stay and guard the camp, and led Qing Feng and Mingyue in the other direction.
For Lin Ze, seeing blood occasionally was not bad, at least he wouldn't get stage fright in a life-and-death fight.
…
In Mangdang Mountain, Liu Ji lay bored beside a stream, holding a stem of an unknown plant in his mouth, and sighed: "How long will this kind of savage life last? I miss the bustling market so much, the sweetness
The wine and the proprietress of the tavern.”
He couldn't help but cursed in his heart: "Damn Zhang Liang, how long are you going to imprison me? Humph, this guy is definitely going to say that the military advisor will harm me and won't allow me to leave Mangdang Mountain. I can't be beaten and beaten, and I can't run away. Really
bother."
"I really want the military advisor to show up in front of me and say to Zhang Liang that he won't harm me and slap him in the face."
When Liu Jizheng was thinking about this, a strange roar suddenly came from not far away. He immediately got up from the ground and listened carefully. His face changed slightly. This was clearly the voice of the fourth-level monster - the bear beast.
When I advanced to the fourth level, I couldn't help but be very proud. Even when I encountered a bear beast in the forest, my small body was almost smashed to pieces by the bear's paws, but Zhang Liang arrived in time and saved me. I still have lingering fears.
Hearing the strange roar getting closer and closer to him, Liu Ji couldn't help but panic, and immediately ran in the direction of Zhang Liang, praying secretly: Don't chase him.
Then things went against expectations. Liu Ji clearly saw the bear beast appearing behind him, getting closer and closer to him, and was about to shout loudly.
Then he realized that something was wrong. The bear beast seemed to be being chased by someone. The figure looked very familiar. Liu Ji stopped where he was and thought deeply: Who is it?
I saw the figure flashing quickly, and soon it was close to the bear beast, and the knife was inserted into the back of the bear beast quickly and hard. With a strong stir, the body of the two-meter-tall bear beast suddenly stiffened and fell straight down.
The visitor looked at the bear corpse and said disdainfully: "I may not be able to catch up with you in the jungle, but you dare to run into an empty place. You are simply seeking death."
Without the cover of the bear beast, Liu Ji finally saw the face of the visitor clearly, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Military advisor?"
Lin Ze looked at the voice and asked in surprise: "Liu Ji, why are you here?"
All kinds of thoughts flowed through Lin Ze's heart, and the murderous intention appeared.
