Chapter 322: Quiet Change
Yang Duanhe failed to successfully persuade the King of Wei to agree to the conditions offered by Lu Buwei.
Obviously, Long Yang Jun would never allow King Wei to betray his ministers. Last time King Wei decided to sell Kong Bin, Long Yang Jun was not in Daliang, so he just let King Wei do such a ridiculous move. However, this time, Long Yang Jun was with King Wei day and night, and did not give him the opportunity to continue negotiations with Yang Duanhe. The King of Wei felt a little regretful. In fact, he also agreed with the Qin people this time.
Lian Po is so old, can he still wear armor to fight? What are the benefits of his in Wei State? It would be better to send him to Qin State without knowing it. Anyway, the Qin people wanted to reuse him, and at Lian Po's age, the Qin people would not take long. The King of Wei thought so in his heart, but the problem is that Long Yang Jun firmly opposed this. In the entire Wei State, the only one who can convince the King of Wei is probably Long Yang Jun.
Of course, Yang Duanhe came to Wei this time, it was useless. He brought a lot of gifts this time, which made the King of Wei a little happy. He felt that Qin could lower his head and constantly send gifts to Wei, which shows that Qin did not dare to fight with Wei in a short period of time. It seems that the last time the five-nation coalition attacked Qin also allowed Qin to see the true strength of Wei.
After obtaining the permission of the King of Wei, Yang Duanhe went to visit Xinlingjun.
The last time Yang Duan and met Xinlingjun was on the battlefield outside Hangu Pass. The King of Wei was very worried about his "safety", so he sent many warriors to follow Yang Duanhe and others to protect his safety. The King of Wei told Yang Duanhe that there were many people in the Wei State who hated Qin people and wanted to avenge Qin. In order to avoid these people assassinating you halfway, let these warriors follow you.
Yang Duanhe did not refuse, or rather, this was exactly the result he hoped for.
Under the leadership of these warriors, they finally arrived at the city where Xinlingjun is located, an infamous town. Xinlingjun did not return to his fiefdom, but lived here instead. It is said that because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and the environment is good, Xinlingjun often brings his disciples to the suburbs and drinks and hunts with everyone. Yang Duanhe is very lucky. When he came here, Xinlingjun happened to be in the mansion.
As soon as Yang Duanhe walked outside the mansion, he smelled the smell of wine coming from the mansion. Yang Duanhe felt that even if no one led the way, he could find the place where Xinlingjun was. Wherever there was the strongest wine, there must be Xinlingjun's residence. Xinlingjun's residence here did not look very luxurious, nor even too vast, and his guests were a little crowded here.
His door was open, and the gate of Xinlingjun's mansion was always like this. It was never guarded, no one was taken care of, and it was open. If a pedestrian was willing, he could walk in and drink it. Xinlingjun would not care about it. He didn't care about the identity of the visitor or anything else. The visitors were his Xinlingjun's guests. It was precisely because Xinlingjun was so open-minded that more and more people were willing to follow Xinlingjun during these days, which made King Wei unable to sleep or eat.
When Yang Duanhe walked in, the noise here did not stop. Even if this guy dressed in Qin people walked into the courtyard accompanied by dozens of warriors, it did not attract anyone's attention. Everyone was just drinking and laughing, and no one paid attention to them at all. Yang Duanhe was a little embarrassed. He looked around and finally, he found the trace of Xinlingjun.
He saw Xinlingjun sitting among several people, talking to them with great enthusiasm, but the one sitting beside him was the veteran General Lian Po.
Yang Duanhe walked to Xinlingjun, and the accompanying warriors stood behind him. Xinlingjun raised his head drunk and stopped talking. He looked at Yang Duanhe in front of him. He asked in surprise: "Aren't you a disciple?" Yang Duanhe was stunned, and then said with a smile: "It's... I came to visit the King of Wei according to the Prime Minister's order, and at the same time, I also came to visit you for my teacher."
Xinlingjun laughed and asked his servants to bring the drinks and handed them directly to Yang Duanhe. He said to Lian Po next to him: "Have you heard it? He came to visit me for Kuo. He was not here to visit you. You know who Kuo values more now, right?!" The old general Lian Po seemed to have drunk much, so he stood up shakingly, walked to Yang Duanhe, grabbed his arm and pulled him over.
"Do you know that I am in Wei?"
"Know..."
"What did he say?"
"He said that King Zhao's behavior was to destroy his own Great Wall. If he was in Zhao State, he would definitely strangle a villain like Guo Kai to death with his own hands."
When Lian Po heard this, he burst into laughter. Then he looked at Xinlingjun and squeezed his eyebrows. The two sat down again. Yang Duanhe drank with them. Xinlingjun and General Lian Po asked about the situation of those acquaintances. Yang Duanhe naturally answered truthfully. When he heard Ge Chongbing, both of them seemed a little sad. When they heard Di becoming a high-ranking official, they couldn't help laughing. When they heard Xin Fafei, they couldn't help but recall what they looked like.
They were all very happy to hear it. Yang Duanhe found the right time and then said, "General Lian Po..." He paused and continued, "I came this time to bring you to Qin State... However, the King of Wei probably felt that fifteen cities were not enough and did not allow you to go to Qin State..." Yang Duanhe smiled bitterly, and he said, "General, you have left Zhao State now and it is impossible for you to go back."
"In countries like Wei and Chu, you can't get any heavy use. Are you willing to drink here and want to spend your old age here?"
Lian Po widened his eyes, and he laughed loudly, looking at Xinlingjun beside him and said, "Hahaha, let me rush to Qin? Qin?" Lian Po laughed for a long time before stroking his beard. He looked at Yang Duanhe with some disdain and said, "Do you know that I have been fighting for a lifetime, and the Qin State that has died in my hands is no less than 100,000. Do you still want me to go to Qin State? Is the King of Qin crazy or Lu Buwei crazy?"
Yang Duanhe said seriously: "On the battlefield, they are all doing their own duties. As a general of Zhao, you kill the Qin people who fight against you. This cannot be regarded as your grudge between you and Qin. I really want to invite you to Qin. In Qin, if you have my teacher, you will not be neglected in Qin, and no one dares to disrespect you. You can lead the Qin army together like General Meng Ao..."
"If you are unwilling to continue fighting, we will not force you. You can teach in the school room like a teacher."
Lian Po's expression gradually became serious. He stopped laughing. He looked at the wine cup in his hand seriously, and then at Yang Duan and the armor on his body. He seemed to be recalling something, and his expression became a little lonely. Xinlingjun, who was beside him, put down the wine in his hand, lowered his head, but did not speak. He was unwilling to interfere with Lian Po's choice. If Lian Po wanted to go to Qin, he could even mobilize his disciples to send Lian Po to Qin.
However, because the relationship between Zhao and Yan became increasingly tense, and the two sides had some friction and collisions from time to time, the King of Yan sent someone to take Prince Dan back to Yan. Prince Dan returned to Yan. Before he could stay here for a few years, he was sent to Qin again, which made Prince Dan very angry. He felt like a homeless orphan, and could only live under someone else's roof and endure humiliation.
In Zhao State, his treatment was not very good, and no one took the prince of Yan seriously. In Qin State, there was even more praise. The Qin State did not take the King of Yan seriously, let alone him, the teenage prince? When Cai Ze returned to Xianyang, he arranged the residence of Prince Dan casually and went to see Lu Buwei. Prince Dan was alone again, in this strange place.
Prince Dan did not understand Qin's speech, which made him unable to contact the outside world at all. He could only constantly learn Qin's speech from the people around him. The people sent by King Yan to serve him had been sent to other places by Cai Ze. All around him were Qin people, and these Qin people had a very bad attitude towards him. Prince Dan was in his house and could not go out on weekdays. Even if he went out, he couldn't understand what everyone was saying, which made him very distressed.
While waiting, several people finally walked into the mansion.
When Prince Dan saw those who served him saluting to the other party nervously, he realized that these people who came to visit him were extraordinary. He saw the three young people standing in front of him, all wearing black clothes, which was in sharp contrast with the whiteness on Prince Dan's body. The guy in the lead looked very young, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and was not as old as himself, but he was very arrogant and looked at him unscrupulously.
"Who are you?" Prince Dan asked in Yayan. In this era, nobles can communicate normally through Yayan. The leader smiled and then asked: "Are you the Prince Dan of Yan?"
"I am...who are you?"
"I am the King of Qin." Ying Zheng said, then he looked at Qi Hezeng beside him. He said, "This is Changping Jun, this is Mr. Wei, Mr. Zeng..." Dan was stunned. He did not expect that the person standing in front of him was the King of Qin. He didn't know whether he should bend over to salute or what, so he stayed there and did not hear his introduction clearly. This made Ying Zheng a little unhappy, and Qi Hezeng didn't care.
The king of Qin, the eldest son of Chu, the crown prince of Wei, and the crown prince of Yan, these four people sat in this narrow courtyard.
"If you have nothing else, you can follow us to study at Wu Chengjun..."
"Wu Chengjun...Ma Fujun?" Prince Dan widened his eyes and asked, "Can I really go and study with Ma Fujun?"
