Chapter 658 Late Night Secret Guest
Xianyang.
It has been several days since the last meeting. However, Lu Buwei did not send out the information in his hand immediately.
It's winter after all.
Winter is a magical season. Whenever heavy snow falls, the time in the whole world seems to suddenly become stagnant and freeze.
Only when all things are revived will the entire land suddenly come back to normal, and everyone will return to normal at this time, fighting what should be fought and farming what should be farming.
For the sake of confidentiality, Lu Buwei felt that he should wait until spring before finding a way to send the secret letter.
To be honest, Lu Buwei is not very worried about Zhao State. After all, Zhao State is the most powerful country in the world. With Lu Buwei as an undercover agent in Qin State, it is actually very difficult to lose to Qin State.
What Lu Buwei is actually concerned about is another thing, that is, how to find a way to defeat Mi Chen.
Lu Buwei has been struggling for a long time for this matter. He actually has many plans, but he doesn't feel safe in each one.
This made Lu Buwei's mentality a little anxious.
Zhao State is getting stronger day by day, which means that Lu Buwei must speed up his plan. Otherwise, if Zhao State can beat Qin State with its national strength alone, what is the role of Lu Buwei?
Although Lu Buwei's relationship with the father-in-law and son-in-law of the current crown prince, Lu Buwei knew that the future wealth and honor of the Lu clan should be guaranteed, this kind of guarantee cannot guarantee that Lu Buwei can become the prime minister of Zhao!
If we cannot become the prime minister of Zhao, what is the point of Lu Buwei's long-standing fear of walking on thin ice?
In the final analysis, Lu Buwei is a very confident and arrogant person. People like this do not actually want anything from others to give, but rather want to make a future through their own hard work!
On this day, Lu Buwei came to the study after dinner.
Whenever it was late at night, Lu Buwei sat alone in the study, and his longing for his wives and young people began to spread from the deepest part of his heart.
Speaking of which, Lu Buwei has not seen his wife and children for several years. Now the "wife" and "children" around Lu Buwei are actually pretended to be spies from the Hu Yiwei of Zhao State. Fortunately, Lu Buwei has been low-key before, and his wife and children rarely walk around in Xianyang. No one has seen through it in a few years.
Lu Buwei sat quietly for a while, and began to pick up his pen and write letters to his eldest son who was far away in Handan.
"My son, my father heard that you have a good academic degree recently. Although my father cannot be at home all the time, he is still deeply pleased. You need to continue your efforts and not slacking off at all..."
A letter to home that looks quite ordinary, without any name on it, and no sentence can remind people of the identity of the writer.
Lu Buwei quickly finished writing the letter, then took an envelope and painted it with fire paint.
Just as Lu Buwei was about to call the butler to ask him to find a station to deliver the letter, the butler's voice suddenly rang out in advance: "Head of the family, someone asked for a meeting."
When Lu Buwei heard this, he was stunned. How could anyone ask for a meeting in the middle of winter?
Moreover, the housekeeper has followed Lu Buwei for decades and is an old man next to Lu Buwei. If it weren't for the special status of the visitor, he would definitely not have disturbed Lu Buwei at this time.
Lu Buwei asked, "Who is coming?"
The housekeeper replied, "I don't know, but the visitor has a token, saying that the head of the family knew it after seeing it."
"Token?" Lu Buwei thought for a moment and said, "Take it in and take a look."
A moment later, a small black sign appeared in front of Lu Buwei. The black sign was quite simple in shape, with the word "Qin" engraved on the front and the word "hou" engraved on the back.
Lu Buwei played with this sign thoughtfully, and suddenly thought of something, and his whole body shook violently.
"Is it..."
When he thought of this, Lu Buwei was completely unable to calm down, so he stood up and walked towards the door.
But just as soon as he reached the door, Lu Buwei stopped, turned around and handed the sign to the housekeeper, and reminded him: "You go and invite the guests in, remember, be sure to be respectful!"
The butler left, and Lu Buwei sat back on his seat, his expression changing.
"Hou, is it because Huo is here? But why did he come to see me at this time?"
All kinds of thoughts came in Lu Buwei's mind, making Lu Buwei's mood fluctuate.
You should know that Lu Buwei himself is a senior spy in Zhao State, but now he is the spy leader of Qin State! This is simply a thief who sees the police, so he is naturally panicked.
After a while, a sound of footsteps slowly approached, and then the butler's words rang out of the study door again: "Head of the family, the distinguished guest is here."
Lu Buwei took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and said in a calm voice as much as possible: "Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and a figure walked in with a gust of cold wind.
What surprised Lu Buwei slightly was that the man in front of him had a cap on his head and could not see his face clearly.
"Please sit down." Lu Buwei reached out and pointed to the guest seat in front of him.
The door was closed, and the visitor slowly sat down in the guest seat.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have no intention of speaking, Lu Buwei took the initiative to speak, "I don't know what the distinguished guest is coming?"
A chuckle came out from under the cap, and then a hoarse voice came out: "I guess Wei Wei already knows my identity?"
Lu Buwei stared at the person in front of him and said slowly: "It's just a brand that I have never heard of, and I'm afraid it can't prove anything."
Another chuckle came out, and another token was thrown in front of Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei picked up the token, then his face changed slightly, and suddenly he took out a token from his arms and put it together with the visiting token in his hand.
Whether it is the shape, texture, or even the feel, the two tokens are just the same.
You should know that the token in Lu Buwei's hand was specially given by the prince, which allowed Lu Buwei to enter and exit the Xianyang Palace City freely.
Even Yangquan Jun Mi Chen and Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze do not have such a token!
Lu Buwei finally confirmed the other party's identity at this moment, so he coughed heavily and knocked on the table three times slowly and firmly.
For some reason, just after this gesture that seemed to be some kind of code, the originally tense and even murderous atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared.
Lu Buwei slowly pushed the token to the other party and said in a deep voice: "I don't know how to call him a guest?"
The person who came said, "My name is Hou, Wei Wei just needs to call him directly."
Although he was mentally prepared, when Lu Buwei heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
It's indeed this guy...
Hou suddenly spoke: "Wei Wei seems a little nervous."
Lu Buwei shook his head and said, "I think that apart from the prince, people who are not nervous should not exist."
Hou let out a hoarse laugh: "Actually... the prince is the most nervous person!"
This sentence made Lu Buwei stunned again. It sounded like this Hou was a little disagreeing with the prince? Can you find a way to make use of it...
Just as Lu Buwei was still thinking, Hou had already spoken again: "I came here today to ask Wei Wei to do me a favor. If Wei Wei Wei is willing, I can also do Wei Wei Wei Wei."
Lu Buwei did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while, sorted out his thoughts before saying, "Since you can wait for late at night, I guess this busyness should be not so easy to help? But... I would like to hear it carefully."
Hou nodded slowly and said, "This busyness is actually very simple, that is, Wu'an Jun must die!"
When he said this, Hou's tone was as cold as the snow outside the door.
Lu Buwei's body was shocked and he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "What?"
When Hou asked for help, Lu Buwei had ten thousand guesses in his mind, but he never expected that what Hou had made was this request!
Kill Bai Qi?!
After a long time, Lu Buwei came back from his shock and said, "Why?"
"No reason." Hou still said in the tone of slowness: "Bai Qi must die, it's that simple."
Lu Buwei smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Wu'an is now the Grand Marshal, and is among the Three Dukes. I am just the Wei Wei and the Nine Dukes. The Three Dukes are known to the Nine Dukes. I don't know why I think I can kill Mr. Wu'an?"
This is actually a kind of shirk.
Although Lu Buwei did receive an order from Handan to kill Bai Qi, as Lu Buwei got closer to the core leadership of Qin, he could feel more and more how terrible Bai Qi's influence in Qin was.
Especially now that King Ji of Qin and King Zhu of Qin have died one after another, Bai Qi's influence in the Qin army has almost returned to his former state, and it is even more than that.
If you want to attack Bai Qi like this, you will definitely be subject to a fierce counterattack from the Qin military!
In this country that is established with a military merit system, if you oppose the military, it is simply to cause trouble for yourself, or even to die.
Hou sneered and said, "What, is Wei Wei scared?"
Lu Buwei nodded calmly and said, "Yes. Although I am trusted by the crown prince, I am a foreign minister after all. Wu'an Jun has made achievements for the Qin Dynasty for many years and has won the hearts of the Qin army and the people. If I help you kill Wu'an Jun, then there will be no place for me to set up a cone in the future."
Hou was silent for a while and suddenly said, "If I tell Wei Wei, as long as Wei Wei can help me kill Wu'anjun, I can help Wei Wei get rid of Mi Chen?"
Lu Buwei widened his eyes again, and two rays of light suddenly burst out from his eyes: "Are you serious about this?"
Hou nodded slowly and said, "This is naturally true."
Lu Buwei's heart was ups and downs. You should know that the most important reason why he refused to agree before was that he was afraid that after getting rid of Bai Qi, Mi Chen and the military would launch a counterattack against him. That was an unstoppable force Lu Buwei could not resist.
But if Mi Chen can be eliminated, then with the support of the prince, Lu Buwei is actually not so afraid of quarrel with the military. Anyway, he will not be unable to install his own people in the military in the future.
After all, this guy in front of him is a wait. As the head of the largest intelligence agency in Qin State, with his help, it should be very easy to defeat Mi Chen.
Lu Buwei pondered for a long time, finally raised his head, stared at the Hou in front of him and said, "Since that's the case, then what's wrong with me doing this!"
Chapter completed!
