Chapter 70: Lord Xinling is not the only one in Wei
Wei State, Xinling
The sky was getting dark, and all Wei Wuji's guests had gone out to rest. Only three of his closest guests stayed and lit candles. Lord Xinling was about to entertain the distinguished guests from Zhao again. At this time, Lord Xinling finally
He no longer looked as drunk as he had during the day. He smiled gently and gestured for Li Yu to sit down. Although Wei Wuji was the leading nobleman in the Wei Kingdom, he didn't have too much particularity here.
This can be seen from the cauldron placed in front of him. The number of cauldrons can definitely drive King Zhao crazy, because he only placed one cauldron. Li Yu was very surprised, but the few disciples around Wei Wuji seemed to be used to it.
Wei Wuji didn't even try to dissuade him. Wei Wuji noticed Li Yu's surprise, blinked at him, and said, "There are no outsiders here that I don't trust, and you don't have to be restrained."
Wei Wuji's disciples talked to Li Yu about the affairs of the State of Zhao again. They seemed to be very curious about Ma Fuzi, especially after Li Yu described Ma Fuzi like that. Li Yu proudly said to them: "I heard
, the phoenix flies in the sky, and does not see the sycamore tree. I would rather die of exhaustion in the sky than fall down to rest. I started from Chu State and traveled to Wei State, Qi State, Zhao State... This is not my first time
Come to Xinling."
"Oh? Have you ever been to Xinling? Am I not your parasol tree?" Wei Wuji asked with a smile.
Li Yu shook his head and said: "Please forgive my blunt words, you are a wise man, but as the son of Wei State, you have failed to do anything beneficial to the people of Wei State. This is
It seems to me that it is not my sycamore tree."
"You mean Ma Fuzi can do it?"
"Ma Fuzi hasn't been able to do it, but he is doing it. When I visited him for the first time, I saw him leading his disciples to help the people farm. Hahaha, in the whole world, have you ever heard of a noble person?
Helping the head of Guizhou with farming? Farming is a despicable thing. Of course, carnivores are not willing to do it, but my young master can do it. None of the young master’s disciples complained because of this matter.
.”
"Many of the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom laughed at Ma Fuzi, saying that he was far inferior to his father and could only work in the fields. But in my opinion, this is my parasol tree." Li Yu said proudly.
.
Lord Xinling shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If I had known about your coming to Xinling earlier, I should have taken them to farm in the fields for a few days." He paused and asked again: "What about this?
What happened next?"
"Ma Fuzi never did farming. After working in the fields for two days, he lay on the bed for three days." Li Yu said.
Everyone laughed, but they didn't mean to laugh at anything. Wei Wuji was a little lost in thought, shaking his head and saying: "Stop talking. If you keep talking, I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself and drive to see him."
ah."
Everyone talked for a while, and Li Yu couldn't sit still when he saw that Wei Wuji still didn't mention the reinforcements. He said, "I heard that Duke Xian of Jin asked Yu State to borrow a road to attack Guo State. Gong Zhiqi said: Cheek.
They are interdependent with the gum bones. If the lips are missing, the teeth will catch cold. The Duke of Yu did not hear this, which led to the Jin State destroying the Yu State after destroying the Guo State."
"Now Qin and Yan are attacking Zhao. Zhao is in danger, but Wei ignores it. Isn't this going to continue what Yu has experienced?"
"Today Zhao is threatened and you don't help him. When Zhao is destroyed and Qin attacks Wei, who will help Wei?"
When Li Yu spoke like this, everyone fell silent. Wei Wuji frowned, looked at Li Yu, and said, "Shouldn't you tell the King of Wei these words? I don't have a tiger talisman, so I can't command the army of Wei. I How can we help Zhao?" Li Yu said without thinking: "Ma Fuzi sent a retainer named Zuoming to purchase grain in Wei. He is also in Xinling. Please help him."
Wei Wuji looked at a young man sitting on his left. The young man looked dark and honest. Wei Wuji looked at him and asked, "Kui, how much food do we have?"
Wei Wuji was Wei Wuji's confidant. Because he was serious and meticulous in his work, he was appointed to take care of Wei Wuji's various properties. He immediately replied: "There are still two hundred and seventy-three thousand six hundred stones of grain, and sixty-five thousand seven hundred stones." There are 826 dolphins and 2,432 sheep." Wei Wuji nodded and said, "If I want to send some food and grass to Zhao, I will give him 200,000 shi. Millet, 50,000 shi of wheat, how about that?"
Li Yu was overjoyed and was about to stand up to thank him when the old man beside him suddenly said: "No."
Wei Wuji looked at the old man. His face was solemn. He shook his head and said, "You must not..." He wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There are many people in the country who want to harm people." If your people know that you gave food from Wei to Zhao, it will give them an opportunity to attack you. How can you hand the dagger to the enemy?"
Wei Wuji gritted his teeth and said: "I'm not afraid. Ma Fuzi can be the phoenix tree of Zhao State, can't I? I heard that the phoenix tree cannot be cut by a rotten axe, so I will do what I want. Just go and do it."
Wei also stood up and said with a simple face: "Please wait for one day, and I will go to the granary to re-register our grain, gather the grain into the house, and then give it to the Zhao envoy."
Wei Wuji nodded.
Late at night, Ming was resting in the inn when a soldier came to report that someone wanted to see him. Ming got up in a hurry. At this time, Li Yu was probably the only one who came to see him. Ming walked out excitedly. He went there and was stunned for a moment, realizing that the person coming was not Li Yu.
.........
In the next few days, Li Yu stayed peacefully in Lord Xinling's mansion. Wei Wuji was very enthusiastic about him. Here, every day was a banquet, and the guests had a lot of fun. Wei Wuji did not forget it either. In order to help Zhao Guo, he often asked Wei if the grain had been moved. Wei just smiled and replied: The grain is still on the road.
Gradually, Li Yu couldn't sit still anymore. A lot of time had passed, and Ming seemed to have left Xinling. He hadn't seen him for many days. He was worried that something had happened to Ming, but also worried that it would be too late. Back in Wei, he heard a lot of news, including the news that Ma Fuzi led thousands of people to attack Yan's 100,000-strong army. Wei Wuji's retainers raised their glasses to Li Yu. They all admired Ma Fuzi's courage.
Only Li Yu was worried about Zhao Kuo's safety. He couldn't be happy either.
Wei Wuji was probably a little impatient in waiting, and finally called Wei in front of him. He couldn't help but frown, and asked: "You never delay in doing things, why is the transportation of grain and grass so slow this time? Is this what you are doing? Do you want to resist my order?"
Wei lowered his head and said nothing. Wei Wuji asked helplessly: "What is there that you can't tell me?"
Wei raised his head, with a look of shame on his face, and said: "I have betrayed your trust. In these years, I have been short of money, so I have been selling your food and grass. I thought you wouldn't notice, but this time you suddenly want to concentrate the food and grass." ...I can't get it together." Wei Wuji was stunned. The laughter in the banquet stopped abruptly. Everyone looked at Wei in disbelief. How could you be such a person? That look of contempt and anger almost made him Kui is flooded.
Wei Wuji was speechless. He took a deep breath and said, "How much did you sell?"
"Almost all...granaries are empty today."
"I...I trust you so much and hand over all my property to you. Is this how you repay me? Come on!" Wei Wuji roared, pointing at Wei in front of him, but said no more. When nothing happened, Wei Wuji jumped and shouted: "Fight me out!!" Several warriors rushed forward, pressed down on Wei and beat him. Wei Wuji did not resist, and Wei Wuji returned to the inner room angrily. The samurai beat Wei crazily, and when he was escorting him out of the door, his best friends couldn't help but spit at him.
"Villain! Scum! If you still know some sense of justice, you should die!"
Wei was thrown out of the door in a state of embarrassment. His nose was bruised, his face was swollen, and he was scarred. He stood up, dusted himself off, and limped away.
Li Yu watched the farce and sighed. He had a vague suspicion in his heart that Wei Wuji was deliberately instigating Wei. He didn't want to borrow food for himself. He didn't go to see Wei Wuji again, turned around and left here. He wanted to find Ming.
Wei Wuji was sitting indoors and was drinking. The old man suddenly walked in and asked in surprise: "What happened? Li Yu left." Wei Wuji covered his face and said in shame: "It's okay for him to leave. , I no longer have the face to see him again. You don’t know that he has been selling my food all these years. No wonder he keeps delaying. It turns out that he has already stolen all my food."
The old man was shocked and said hurriedly: "This is impossible! Wei is not such a person!"
Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head. Suddenly, he thought of something, jumped up suddenly, and rushed out of the inner room like a gust of wind, shouting: "Prepare my horse!!", and the diners. He stood up in surprise, and someone quickly brought a horse. The old man followed behind him and asked for a horse, telling the guests not to move. He just waited here, and then went to chase Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji galloped on his horse, and everyone on the road gave way, causing chaos. Wei Wuji still remembered Wei's courtyard. The horse rushed outside the courtyard. Wei Wuji jumped off the horse, fell down, and hurriedly climbed up from the ground. He slammed open the courtyard door.
In the courtyard, the blood-stained dagger fell to the ground, and the honest young man fell into a pool of blood.
Wei Wuji looked dull and fell limply in front of the young man.
