The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

A farm outside Anyi City.

The main house has a simple appearance, but the interior decoration is unique. Wei Bao was lying on the wooden board, bored and pouring a bottle of wine into his mouth. And his eldest brother Wei Jiu was sitting not far away, with wrinkles on his face, as if he was hesitating.

"Brother Bao, do you think we should go to Waihuang County to participate in the alliance of the six kingdoms?"

Yan Dan, a giant of the Mohist family, visited Wei Jiu not long ago and invited him to participate in the Six Kingdoms Alliance. But Wei Jiu was hesitant in his heart.

Wei Bao smiled noncommittally and continued to drink.

Wei Jiu stood up, walked to Wei Bao's side, and snatched the bottle from which he was drinking, "Brother, I'm almost dying of worry, but you're here drinking freely?"

"Alas!" Wei Bao looked at the wine glass with nostalgia, but he didn't pay much attention to his brother's words.

"You can drink after you give me your advice." As the elder brother is like his father, even though Wei Jiu didn't care about Wei Bao's usual wild life, when he got serious, he could intimidate Wei Bao to a certain extent.

"Okay, I'll tell you what I'll tell you." Wei Bao sighed, "More than ten years ago, when Qin showed its ambition to engulf the six countries, the six countries could not work together to fight against Qin. Now, can you count on them? What?"

Wei Bao pointed at himself and then at Wei Jiu, "What you and I are like now are just trembling and lingering under Emperor Qin's grand plan. Let me ask, we can easily pull the strings with our hidden power now. Raise an army to fight against Qin. But do we dare? Alliance among the six nations? Huh!"

"So what Brother Zhao Bao means is that we will not participate in this alliance?" Wei Jiu said.

"No, no, no." Wei Bao shook his head, "See, we still have to participate."

Wei Jiu looked at Wei Bao funny. He had just demoted the Six Nations Alliance as worthless, but now he said he still wanted to participate. What did he mean?

I saw that Wei Bao had quietly taken back his wine bottle, took a sip of wine, and continued: "This alliance of the Six Nations was initiated by the giant of the Mohist family. The people attending the meeting are all the heirs of the other five nations. Brother, this is you What a great opportunity to show your face in front of the princes of the world!"

"Brother Bao, what do you mean?"

"We can participate in the meeting, and we can even make an oath. But what decent results can be achieved in this alliance meeting? Raising troops to rebel against Qin? Give those people a hundred courages, but they don't dare. Establish a joint alliance? Let me ask you, a He Zongzhang in name only, what will happen even if we admit it? Besides, in this world, who else has such status and prestige that he can convince the princes of the six countries to take it seriously? "

Wei Bao put down the wine bottle, took another spoonful of wine, and continued: "Except for these two points, there is no substantial progress in this alliance, but for the future, it is necessary for the eldest brother to participate in this alliance. , because this means that the other five countries have recognized you, eldest brother, as the legitimate heir of the Wei Dynasty. This is very important to my eldest brother in reviving Wei in the future."

"Brother Bao is right. It seems that we need to participate this time."

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the house. The two brothers Wei Bao and Wei Jiu looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

Soon, a man dressed as a servant walked in from outside the house and prostrated himself before the two of them: "My lord, something serious has happened."

"What's the matter? Tell me slowly." Wei Jiu said.

"Our merchant ship on Jiangshui River was seized by the Qin army."

"What?" Wei Jiu was shocked. The two brothers spent a lot of money to establish a chamber of commerce in order to save funds. The cargo in this ship was of great value, but Wei Jiu had to be heavy.

"Brother Bao, I need to rush to deal with this matter immediately. It may be very troublesome. I can't participate in the Six Nations Alliance in time this time, so you can go on my behalf!"

After saying that, Wei Jiu hurried out of the house, leaving only Wei Bao with a shocked look on his face. "Brother, can we discuss this matter..."

Before Wei Bao finished speaking, Wei Jiu's figure had already disappeared in front of him.

……..

The moonlight was bleak, and beside the ancient road, a team of more than ten people from Zhao State were stopping by the road.

In today's era, riding a horse alone is becoming more and more popular. But for nobles, the best way to travel is still by carriage, because it not only symbolizes status, but also is a kind of style.

Although Zhao Xie is said to be a declining noble of the Six Kingdoms, he still insists on riding a carriage when traveling, despite the many inconveniences it brings.

At this moment, most of the people in the team have rested, and only the night watchers are still on guard for dangers that may come at any time.

The night was lonely, and for the sake of caution, the group didn't even light a fire.

Yan Dan sat on a fallen log and took a sip of the wine in the skin to drive away the coldness in his body.

Opposite Yan Dan, Zhang Er was doing the same thing holding a wine bag. As the guest of Lord Xinling in the past, Zhang Er was not too impressed by the huge gap between the Qin State's current pursuit targets and the change of status. Compared with Chen Yu, who was also a famous scholar in Wei State and was in the same situation as him, Zhang Er didn't have a single wrinkle on his forehead.

"This time, I would like to thank Brother Zhang Er for your generous help and providing us with such a gathering place."

"You don't have to be polite, big man. I haven't been back to Waihuang for many years. I wonder if the scenery in my hometown is still the same?" Zhang Er sighed.

Yan Dan toasted with wine and asked, "Brother Zhang Er is from Waihuang County?"

"That's right, when I was young, I served as the magistrate of Waihuang County. Later, when Qin destroyed Wei, I had some conflicts with the generals of the Qin army who came to garrison Waihuang, so I was hunted and fled. Later, I lived in Zhao, and Master Meng His Highness took him in and became a minister of Zhao."

"With Brother Zhang Er's wisdom, how could he make such a mistake? Is there some truth behind this?" Yan Dan asked with a smile.

Zhang Er looked at Yan Dan and smiled: "I can't hide anything from you. After Wei was destroyed, heroes no longer had any use, and I felt bored. Therefore, I dispersed the local tribes and fled to other places alone. But don't worry, you. , In Waihuang, there are still many old people who have benefited from me in the past, so you can rest assured about the safety of this alliance."

"Brother Zhang Er handles everything carefully, so I have nothing to worry about. It's just that you kept it secret from your master, is that okay?" Yan Dan asked.

"It doesn't matter, your lord will understand my loyalty sooner or later." Zhang Er glanced at the carriage in the distance and shook his head.

"When the world was first settled, it was supposed to be recuperating and recuperating, and the people were settled in the fields. But the Emperor of Qin was bent on building fortifications, and regarded the suffering of the people as nothing. You need to know that prosperity is the same as death. Sooner or later, the world will still be in chaos." Zhang Er sighed and said.

"That's right." Yan Dan nodded in agreement, "Ying Zheng knew all this, but for the sake of the so-called eternal foundation he said, he abandoned it. But because of this, for those six countries who hid in the mountains and forests, The righteous provide a glimmer of life.”

"In the eyes of Emperor Qin, those bandits and bandits, the powerful people from all over the world, and even the remaining tribes of the Six Kingdoms are nothing. But the defeated generals under his command are just like dogs and pigs!" Zhang Er said mockingly to himself, speaking unceremoniously. But then his eyes flashed, "However, Emperor Qin will have to pay the price for his arrogance sooner or later."

……..

"Hey, what a coincidence."

Outside Anyi City, Xiaoyaozi, Ying Ziyi and the others rode out of the city. At the intersection outside the city, they met Wei Bao, who was already waiting there.

The other party's handsome face shone with a warm smile, his tall and mighty body swayed from side to side, and his sunny appearance could charm many girls.

"Why is it this guy again? I can see him everywhere." Ying Ziyi said helplessly while riding on his horse.

When Wei Bao saw Ying Ziyi and his party, he didn't get close to Wang Qiao and Wang You as before. Instead, he walked up to Xiaoyaozi respectfully and saluted him, "Wei Bao, please see Mr. Xiaoyao."

"Huh?" Ying Ziyi exclaimed. At this moment, Wei Bao, both in appearance and behavior, no longer had the frivolity and impetuousness of the past, and he seemed to be a completely different person.

"You are Wei Bao, so you will act on behalf of your brother this time." Both Xiaoyaozi and Yan Dan were the initiators of this Six Nations Alliance Conference. He naturally knew who was participating in the alliance meeting, so he knew at a glance that Wei Bao was waiting for them here specifically.

"That's right. My brother cannot go to Waihuang because of important matters, so he specially sent me here." Wei Bao's current behavior and words are exactly that of a well-educated nobleman.

"This kid is so good at pretending, he's almost catching up with me." Ying Ziyi cursed secretly in his heart.

"That's fine. Since the purpose of our trip is the same, why don't you come with us?"

Xiaoyaozi's invitation played right into Wei Bao's mind. At that moment, he was not polite and agreed immediately.

"Lao An, please come with me this time!" Among the servants behind Wei Bao, he only chose an old man with a beard to accompany him.

However, everyone present was a master, so how could they not see that this servant named Lao An was actually the most accomplished among them and should not be underestimated.

Wei Bao rode on the horse and smiled at Wangyou Wangqiao. However, when he looked at Ying Ziyi, the smile on his face disappeared completely. He looked away and ignored him.

"This kid, it's time to show off your face." Ying Ziyi cursed secretly in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said something that made Wei Bao furious: "Uncle, you have to come with us too! "

"What did you say? Uncle...Uncle...I am so young?" Wei Bao shouted loudly.

"What! He's obviously an uncle! He looks like he's over thirty, senior sister, are you right?"

Wangyou and Wangqiao both smiled and did not answer Ying Ziyi's words.

"This kid is poisonous!" Looking at Ying Ziyi's innocent smile, Wei Bao thought to himself.
