The wind blew and blew Wei Xiaokuan's sleeves, making a rustling sound.

Wei Xiaokuan actually found a big tree and sat down directly, admiring the scenery in the distance.

"This place is different from Qi State, right?"

"Although it's a bunch of bad things, here, soldiers can't kill people wantonly, and officials don't dare to bully the people for no reason. Of course, that's not to say there's nothing at all. Since I took office, many, many people have come from Qi."

"They talk about how the situation there is getting worse every year. I get angry when I hear it."

"I have taken good care of all the people who came here, and so far, none of them have starved to death."

"What do you think?"

Liu Taozi stood beside him. Under the strong wind, he remained motionless, pressing his sword with one hand and looking solemnly into the distance.

“Really good.”

Wei Xiaokuan opened his mouth, "I actually quite like you. They sent people to tell me about you, and I was very concerned about it. I think you are quite similar to me."

"We are all people who want to make people's lives better."

"Look, I ordered this tree to be planted. At the beginning, the temple stipulated that an earthen moat should be set up every mile on the official road to mark the mileage. This thing would break when it rained. If it broke, people would be sent to repair it.

, I issued an order and requested that locust trees be planted instead of the moat. This would not only avoid the pain of repairs, but also give pedestrians a place to rest. Don’t blame me. This man is old and likes it.

Bragging about one’s own merits”

"I know, you did a great job in Wuchuan. You resettled the people and conquered the temples. Very good, very good. I have already reported these things to Your Majesty."

"The people who participated in the corvee during the Great Zhou Dynasty did not live a very good life. There are also many temples here."

"I won't talk empty words like Jian, I will tell you the truth. In fact, there is no difference between our two countries. There are a lot of bad things in the temple, those who bully others, and those who are domineering. Hey, our Duke of Jin

, he has raised a lot of people, he protects them, and when those people commit crimes in his name, he actually thinks it is to gain face for himself. He will not punish the extraordinary, but also reward them. Do you think it is strange?"

"Right now, these ghosts and monsters wearing the skin of the Duke are causing chaos all over the Zhou Dynasty. Fortunately, it is peaceful here and no one dares to come and die."

Wei Xiaokuan smiled and said a few words, then suddenly looked at Liu Taozi.

"You know it."

"Why don't you come to my place? People like you will not live long in Qi. Our place is not very good, but at least I am here. Come and help me, and we can govern the world together.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, this number

After a hundred years of war, the world is already riddled with holes. Don't look at me. I'm staying in Yubi City now and can't get out. My body is still very strong. If I live for another twenty or thirty years, it won't be a big problem. How about it?

Do you want to come and help me?"

The little old man was sitting under the tree. In the sunset, his face became more kind and kind. He was waiting for Liu Taozi's answer.

Liu Taozi also looked into the distance.

"There is no shortage of such people in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"We are in short supply over there."

"Besides, what the general wants and what I want may not really be the same."

Wei Xiaokuan was a little disappointed. He looked into the distance again and sighed, "What a pity, what a pity."

The two of them stayed together for a long time, neither of them speaking.

Wei Xiaokuan finally stood up, looked at Liu Taozi in front of him with a smile, and patted his shoulder, "That's fine, then you go back to your Wuchuan and wait for me to come!"

"only."

Liu Taozi replied, Wei Xiaokuan waved to the distance, called a soldier, and asked him to send Liu Taozi back.

After Liu Taozi left, soon several warriors emerged from both sides, holding long swords and standing next to Wei Xiaokuan. Wei Xiaokuan changed his clothes, and his face no longer had the gentleness and kindness before, and his whole person was as if

The sharp blade that had just been unsheathed, his eyes were much sharper than Yang Jian's. He looked at the many warriors and said, "Let's go!"

Wei Xiaokuan led them and strode towards the camp.

When he walked into the main tent, Doctor Yin was talking to the people around him. When he saw Wei Xiaokuan rushing in, the man looked a little unhappy, but he still held it back.

"The Governor!"

"If this big thing can happen, I think these people really want to return the two of them, but they want to ask for something. I just need to talk to them again."

Wei Xiaokuan sat directly aside, raised his head, and looked at Mr. Yin solemnly.

"General Wu Yi Liu Taozi, who is accompanying us, is extraordinary and cannot be allowed to go back alive."

"What?!"

Doctor Yin was shocked. He hurriedly said: "This is a big event. The Duke of Jin wants to welcome his mother back. You actually want to murder the envoy of Qi?"

"I know it's a big deal, but this Liu Taozi is no small matter. It's a matter of great importance."

"General Wu Yi? Rank 7!!"

"If you put it in the Duke's Mansion, you'd be worse than a gatekeeper!"

"How important is this?!"

Doctor Yin hurriedly said: "Prince Governor! Don't be rash! The current matter is to welcome back the mother of Jin. If you kill the envoy without permission and cause things to fail, then you will be trapping the Duke of Jin and being unfilial! This is God's fault.

A big crime! No matter who dares to do this, he will be severely punished!"

"Gongshi, you should know your identity. The Duke of Jin has never accused you of any crime and he values ​​you very much."

Wei Xiaokuan had a straight face, frowned, and looked very solemn.

After Dugu Xin was killed, Dugu Xin's closest confidants became a thorn in the side of the Duke of Jin, including Dugu Xin's old brother Wei Xiaokuan, and of course his son-in-law Yang Jian.

Doctor Yin continued: "I have sent someone to report the matter to Duke Jin. If the general can complete this matter, it will be a great achievement. Duke Jin will definitely not forget it."

"But if the general wants to ruin this matter, I'm afraid even a humble person like me won't be able to allow it."

Wei Xiaokuan said: "I don't want to hinder the important event of welcoming back the mother of Jin."

"This Liu Taozi is in Wuchuan, appeasing the civilians, punishing the powerful, and rectifying the border soldiers, and has become Qi Zhu Gaoyan's confidant. This person is still young, but he has already done many important things. He will be reused in the future. If we can't get rid of him in time

, it will definitely become a serious problem for me, Da Zhou, in the future."

"Grand Governor!! Seventh Grade!! Only Seventh Grade!!"

Doctor Yin couldn't bear it any longer. He paced back and forth and became a little irritable. "Does the Puppet Qi lack people who know how to fight? Who among them doesn't know how to fight? I have two people who can become kings based on their military merits."

I can’t even count them with my hands! He’s a seventh-grade junior, no matter how powerful he is, he’s just on par with those people, so what’s the use of killing him?”

"If you kill him now, the State Council of Qi will have an excuse to directly kill Jin's mother, or to humiliate him. At that time, outsiders will say that the Duke of Jin is unfilial and deliberately forced the enemy to harm his biological mother. What do you want to do?!"

"Do you want to avenge Dugu Xin?!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the entire tent suddenly became dead silent.

Doctor Yin seemed to realize that he had gone too far, so he immediately closed his mouth and froze on the spot.

The surrounding soldiers had different expressions. Some of the warriors who had followed Wei Xiaokuan in had slowly put their hands on the hilt of their swords.

The atmosphere became increasingly solemn.

Wei Xiaokuan suddenly spoke, "You hold these people back and tell them not to leave in a hurry."

"I will send someone to send the news to the Duke of Jin quickly and ask for the Duke of Jin's consent."

"It's impossible for Duke Jin to agree."

"Then wait until Duke Jin personally refuses."

"You just need to hold them back, don't negotiate so fast."

Doctor Yin had a straight face. Wei Xiaokuan had said so, so what could he say in reply? He had no choice but to nod, "Okay, just as the general said, I will hold him back."

"However, you must not take action without the Duke's permission."

"Don't worry, doctor, I won't do anything."

Wei Xiaokuan looked at the warriors on the side and ordered: "In addition, send a letter to the doctor Si Huizhong to inform him that Liu Taozi, who once killed Cui's second wife, has arrived here."

Wei Xiaokuan did not avoid Dr. Yin in front of him at all. He said: "If Duke Jin agrees, we can use the younger members of the Cui family to carry out the assassination, and then show our attitude of asking for guilt so as not to affect major events."

Doctor Yin gave him a cold look and did not answer, but felt extremely uneasy.

This general has always been a very quick striker.

“Strange”

After walking out of the tent, Lu Yao returned to the other courtyard where he was resting temporarily.

After walking into the tent, Lu Yao frowned, looking confused, and muttered to himself.

"You were very good yesterday, so why have you changed your mind today?"

"Are they unwilling to welcome you again?"

Liu Taozi asked.

Lu Yao shook his head, "That's not the case."

He looked at Liu Taozi and said, "They agreed, but I feel something is wrong. Although we argued yesterday, many things were discussed very quickly, from the welcome matters to the joint market between the two parties. But today, Na Yin
