Zheng Anping came back suddenly, which caught his family off guard. Zheng Anping only said that he had something to do in Zhengcheng and went home to visit. He did not dare to stay for a long time for fear of missing the envoy of Qin. He only stayed for one day and set off back to Guanyi.

On the way. When passing through Huayang, I paid a special visit to Bai's Car Dealer and Lu Buwei, saying that his old retainer passed away and he was helping his spirit return to his hometown. Then he drove back to Guanyi alone. As a result, he arrived almost at the same time as Wuwang.

Zheng Anping simply told everyone that he had sent Zhang Lu back to his hometown, and he probably wouldn't have long to go.

In the past two days, a beggar with white beard and hair and a stooped body appeared from time to time in some small towns around Guanyi. After passing Guanyi, he headed north.

Sure enough, the Qin envoy arrived on the afternoon of the third day. He did not bring his entourage, but only took a safe car. The beggar also passed by in a flash. The Qin envoy entered the almost ruined Guancheng holding a festival talisman. Zheng Anping took the initiative to welcome him out, and the rest

Everyone also came out to greet him. The envoy was very young, and the identity written on the festival talisman was "The Visitor Wang Ji". This was the first official envoy received by Guanyi since its establishment, and he was also an envoy from the State of Qin. All the officials were

Not daring to neglect, they received the reception together at the hotel. Zheng Anping and Cao Bao knew how to welcome and send off, and chatted with Wang Ji in the hall; Brother Su and Brother Quan were responsible for arranging food and accommodation; the women in the kitchen all sent word that tonight

They were not allowed to go out to work, and they went home after cooking, and each person was given an extra wage. Xiaosi took the postman around to strengthen patrols, lest there be any mistakes. At the same time, he sent a postman to rush into the city to quickly report that the Qin envoy was coming.

Zheng Anping first gave a salute and said: "I am in charge of the west road of Wei. Wei and Qin have good relations. It is a blessing to be able to manage the city. Qin envoys come, how fortunate it is!"

Wang Ji was not cryptic and said: "I am sending envoys to Wei to warn the end of the Autumn Expedition."

Zheng Anping expressed his confusion and asked: "What is autumn cutting, and how can we stop it?"

Wang Ji said carelessly: "Guan Ling didn't know something. At the beginning of the year, after the war in Huayang,...do you know...the three Jin Dynasties and the Qin Dynasty allied themselves, and they attacked a country every autumn, and this year they will attack the Chu Kingdom. This is called

Autumn Expedition. However, Chu has taken the crown prince as a hostage and made an alliance with Qin, so it cannot be attacked. The minister Qin ordered to report to Wei and Han, so the Autumn Expedition is suspended, and the army and supplies can be released."

Zheng Anping said: "This is a blessing to the people and a blessing to the country."

Wang Jidao: "How lucky are the people? How lucky is the country?"

Zheng Anping said: "Isn't it fortunate that the people are free from weapons and the country can protect the people?"

Wang Jidao: "You know, everyone in the Qin people wants to fight. If you win the battle, you will be promoted to a higher rank and an official rank. Do you know Mr. Wu'an? If you win the fifth rank in the first battle, you will not be promoted. We will fight again."

If you get the tenth level and die without any injuries, you will be promoted to an official. If you fight again, your camp will be the first to ascend, and if you get the thousandth level, you will be a public ride. His party will be twenty years old. In the year of his establishment, he will be promoted to Zuo Shuchang. If there is no battle, how can he win?

If so!"

Zheng Anping did not dare to argue with the Qin envoy, and said: "Qin used military merit to establish nobility, and Wei used etiquette and justice as its rule."

Wang Jidao: "Qin also has etiquette and righteousness. As ministers, they are sent to the country by order of the King of Qin. If they succeed, they will be rewarded with a noble title if they have achieved first-level merit."

Zheng Anping said: "Isn't it great to have meritorious deeds without worrying about life and death?"

Wang Jidao said: "How can I have a mission every year, and the mission belongs to myself? They have asked for cities and invited pledges, but they often go there without success. It is in vain!"

Zheng Anping deliberately teased: "If it succeeds, it will be a first-level achievement. Is there anything more?"

Wang Jidao: "Of course! If we get secret military information, we can add it as appropriate; if we find wise men left in the wild, we can add them according to their talents; if we find those who are useful outside of the mission, we can add them according to their benefits."

"

Zheng Anping said: "If there are sages left in the wilderness in the Wei Kingdom, they will be conquered by Lord Xinling."

Wang Jidao: "Otherwise, if Lord Xinling is benevolent, all the heroes in the world will return to him. How can we embrace them all?"

Everyone didn't take it seriously and talked and joked casually until the porridge and rice were ready. Zheng Anping also cooked fish and pounded dried meat specially for Wang Ji. After everyone left, Zheng Anping asked everyone to go home and stayed on duty alone.

At night, Zhang Lu appeared on the edge of the city with his hair tied, a crown and the uniform of a scholar. Zheng Anping, who was patrolling the city, saw him and led him to sneak into the post house. Then he went into the room to see Wang Ji.

The room was lit with torches, flickering and dancing. Wang Ji heard someone outside the door calling for a management order, and hurried out to greet him. He saw Zheng Anping standing outside the door.

Wang Ji invited Zheng Anping into the room and said, "When the governor comes to visit, he must be given a lesson!"

Zheng Anping said: "Do you want me to make more contributions?"

Wang Ji's eyes jumped, he stared at Zheng Anping, and said for a long time: "Is there a wise man in Wei who can compare with those who traveled to the west?"

Zheng Anping said: "There is Mr. Zhang Lu among the ministers who wants to see you and talk about world affairs. He has a grudge and dare not see you in the daytime."

Wang Jidao: "But the night comes with it!"

Zheng Anping said: "I don't dare to bother you and wait for a long time. Mr. Zhang Lu is seen outside the door."

Wang Jidao: "In this case, please introduce him and worship him."

Zheng Anping came out, took Zhang Lu into the room, and introduced him to the two of them.

After the two men finished reciting the ceremony, Wang Ji said: "Sir, if you meet me at night, you will definitely be able to teach me."

Zhang Lu said: "The king of Qin's country is in danger, but if he has his ministers, he will be safe."

Wang Jidao: "Why do you say this? The King of Qin has Ranghou, Huayang Lord, Jingyang Lord, Gaoling Lord, and Wu'an Lord, all of whom are talented people in the world, and they assist him. He will be victorious in every battle, and the country will be as safe as a mountain. Sir, you can't say anything false."

Shocking?"

Zhang Lu said: "That's not what it is. When I lived in Shandong, I heard that Qi had Tian Wen, but not that it had a king; I heard that Qin had a queen mother, Ranghou, Huayang, Gaoling, and Jingyang, but I didn't hear that there was a king. In the past, Cui Zhu

, Nao Teeth and Guan Qi, shot the king's stock, pulled out the king's tendons, placed the county on the temple beam, and died in the past. Li Dui was in charge of Zhao, and imprisoned the master's father in the sand dunes, where he starved to death for a hundred days. Now I heard that the Queen Mother of Qin, Ranghou, was in charge

, Gaoling, Huayang, Jingyang assisted it, there was no King of Qin who died, this is also Nao Chi, Li Dui and the like..."

Wang Ji stopped him and said: "Stop. This is something I dare not hear. I would like to recommend you to join the Qin Dynasty. I will stay with you to the south of the three pavilions. The three pavilions are close to the Jishui River. I would like you to fish there and imitate the story of Jiang Taigong. I wish you to do this."

Visit him and return with him."

Zhang Lu said: "How should I submit to the meeting?"

Wang Ji thought for a while and said: "Short brown, Maopu, Qiaojiao are also good."

Zhang Lu said: "I'd like to thank you! How can we expect to progress?"

Wang Jidao: "I first entered Liang, and then I entered Zheng. From Zheng back to Qin, I walked to the South Road and came out of Santing."

Zhang Lu said: "The visitor knows China's geography well."

Wang Jidao: "I am a native of this week who sent food to Han and came to Qin from Han to pay a visit. But I know a few places in Han."

Zhang Ludao: "I am a victim of hatred and dare not burden myself with the visit. Please resign immediately and wait for three pavilions!"

Wang Jidao: "Sir, you also know a lot about geography."

Zhang Ludao: "I may know a thing or two about Chinese geography."

Wang Jidao: "Sir, you must be valued by the king."

Zhang Lu didn't dare to be lazy and came out immediately. Zheng Anping was observing from the front. Fortunately, it was dark and dark, so Guanyi didn't light a torch if he had nothing to do. He went to bed in the dark night and didn't meet anyone. When he came to the bridge, Zheng Anping came from his arms.

He took out a bag of copper coins and handed it to Zhang Lu and said, "I am not allowed to see you off when you are on this trip. I hope that when you go, dragons will enter the sea and tigers will enter the forest, and you will be able to gallop freely."

Zhang Lu said: "I cannot say thank you for your great kindness! Any progress I have made is thanks to the Young Master!"

After saying a few words in a hurry, the two said goodbye.

Zheng Anping returned to Guanyi and did not talk to Wang Ji anymore. Wang Ji put out the torch and went to bed. He lay on the ground, feeling very confused. He didn't know whether what happened today was right or wrong, whether it was a disaster or a blessing, and he didn't even know. If he did it again, would he do it again? But Zhang Lu's words clearly hit the point and thought what others had not thought of. Based on this, he would not be inactive in Qin State and make some small contributions by himself. It was also an unexpected surprise. The only thing he didn't expect was that it might be a trap!

Zheng Anping did not expect that things would go so smoothly, and even Wang Ji took the initiative to ask and cooperated in every aspect. He also did not expect that this might be arranged!

That night, Zheng Anping rested in Guanyi. Wang Ji had nothing to do all night, and Zheng Anping had nothing to do either. But both of them were equally worried. When they said goodbye the next day, both of them had dark circles under their eyes.

Three days later, Wang Ji returned to Guanyi and still lived in the Guanyi. Zheng Anping was still responsible for the reception and vigil. The two talked for a long time at night, each reporting what they knew about the affairs of various countries, but they both tacitly avoided Zhang. Lu's name. What did King Wei of Zheng Anping think about canceling the attack on Chu? Wang Jidao said: "The King of Wei said that Qin is responsible for its prosperity, Qin is responsible for its end, and Qin is still there!"

Zheng Anping asked reluctantly: "Mr. Xinling may have something to say."

Wang Jidao: "I objected to Wei, but reported to Wei. The King of Wei asked, but I knew nothing!" Both of them laughed.

After seeing off Wang Ji, Zheng Anping felt uneasy, but there was no one to talk to. He began to look to the south, and then to the north. He felt at ease all the time. The slave noticed Zheng Anping's uneasiness, and carefully asked if there was anything wrong with him. Good things are about to happen. Zheng Anping forced a smile and said: "It's possible, but I'm afraid Han and Qin will come!" They didn't know that Lord Xinling had reached a compromise with the King of Han, and Guan Yi was granted the title of King of Wei. He was granted the title of Lord Xinling by the King of Han again. In this way, Han's threat to Guanyi was actually lifted. However, due to the "loss of power and humiliation of the country", only a few people knew about this matter.

During those troubled days, tutoring Gai Nie to practice martial arts became the only happy thing. And Gai Nie's martial arts talent made all the soldiers, including Cao Bao, praise him.

After Zhang Lu returned to Shansan's house, he still resumed his beggar attire, grabbed a handful of dirt and rubbed it on his face, making his freshly washed face extremely dirty again. From the next day, he gradually went south to beg, until Wang Ji returned. After Guanyi, I changed my clothes to short brown, carried a baggage, and walked all the way to Santing.

There is a small city in Sanding at the junction of Weishi and Zheng. Zhang Lu found a small rebel traveler to stay in Sanding. He picked up a piece of dead bamboo and took off some silk threads from his clothes. I don’t use a fishhook (actually I don’t have one), I go fishing not far away from the Lianshui River every day, attracting a bunch of children to watch.
