Chapter 70: Lord Xinling is not the only one in Wei

Wei State, Xinling

The sky gradually became a little drowsy, and Wei Wuji's disciples had already gone out to rest. Only three of his closest disciples stayed and lit a candle. Xinlingjun wanted to entertain guests from Zhao again. At this time, Xinlingjun finally stopped being drunk in the daytime. He smiled gently and signaled to let Li Yu sit down. Although Wei Wuji was the leading nobleman in Wei, he did not pay much attention to it.

It can be seen from the cauldron placed in front of him that the number of this cauldron can definitely drive King Zhao crazy because he only put one cauldron. Li Yu was very surprised, but the few disciples around Wei Wuji seemed to be used to it, and they didn't even dissuade him. Wei Wuji noticed Li Yu's surprise, blinked at him, and said, "There are no outsiders I don't trust here, and you don't have to be restrained."

Wei Wuji's disciples talked to Li Yu about the matter of Zhao State. They seemed to be very curious about Ma Fuzi, especially after Li Yu described Ma Fuzi like that, Li Yu proudly said to them: "I heard that the phoenix traveled in the sky and did not see the sycamore trees. I would rather die of exhaustion in the sky than live there. I set out from Chu State and traveled to Wei State, Qi State and Zhao State... This is not the first time I have come to Xinling."

"Oh? Have you ever been to Xinling? Am I not your sycamore tree?" Wei Wuji asked with a smile.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "Please forgive my frankness. You are a wise man, but as the prince of Wei, you have not been able to do anything for the common people of Wei that is beneficial to them. In my opinion, this is not my sycamore tree."

"You mean he can do it?"

"Ma Fuzi can't do it either, but he is doing it. I visited him for the first time and saw him leading his disciples to help the people to cultivate. Hahaha, in the world, have you ever heard of the nobles who helped Guizhou to farm? The farming is a humble thing, and the carnivore is of course unwilling to do it, but my Shaojun can, no one of my Shaojun's many Shaojun's guests complained about this."

"The nobles of Zhao State have therefore sneered at the horse and pampered the sons, saying that he is far inferior to his father and can only cultivate in the fields, but in my opinion, this is my sycamore tree." Li Yu said proudly.

Xinlingjun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If I had known about your visit to Xinling, I would have taken them to the fields to farm for a few days." He paused and asked again: "What happened to this incident later?"

"Ma Fuzi never works on farming and sericulture. She has been busy in the fields for two days, and has been lying on the sickbed for three days." Li Yu said.

Everyone laughed, but they didn't have any ridicule. Wei Wuji was a little confused when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Don't say it anymore. If you say it again, I'm afraid I will not be able to drive to see him in person."

Everyone talked for a while, and when Li Yu saw that Wei Wuji had not mentioned the reinforcements, he couldn't sit still. He said, "I heard that Duke Xian of Jin borrowed a road from Yu to attack Guo State. Gong Zhiqi said: The cheeks and gum bones are interdependent, and if the lips are lost, they will catch a cold. Duke Yu did not hear that, causing the State of Jin to destroy the State of Yu State after the destruction of Guo State."

"Now Qin and Yan are attacking Zhao, Zhao is in danger, and Wei ignores it. Isn't this going to continue what Yu has experienced?"

"Today, Zhao State is threatened and you don't help him. When Zhao State is destroyed and Qin State comes to attack Wei State, who will help Wei State?"

As soon as Li Yu spoke, everyone fell silent. Wei Wuji frowned and looked at Li Yu, saying, "Don't you say these words to the King of Wei? I don't have a tiger talisman and cannot command the army of Wei. How can I help Zhao?" Li Yu said without thinking: "Ma Fuzi sent a disciple called Ming to purchase grain in Wei. He is also in Xinling. Please help him."

Wei Wuji looked at a young man sitting on his left. The young man looked a little dark and honest. Wei Wuji looked at him and asked, "Wei, how much food do we have?"

Wei was Wei Wuji's confidant. Because he was serious and meticulous, he was appointed to take charge of Wei Wuji's various industries. He immediately replied: "There are still 273,600 stones of millet, 65,700 stones of wheat, 826 pigs, and 2,432 sheep." Wei Wuji nodded and said: "I want to send some food and grass to Zhao State, so I will give him 200,000 stones of millet and 50,000 stones of wheat, how about it?"

Li Yu was overjoyed and was about to get up to thank him, but the old man next to him suddenly said, "No."

Wei Wuji looked at the old man. The old man looked solemn. He shook his head and said, "No..." He wanted to say something, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are many people in the country who want to harm you. If they know that you gave the food from Wei to Zhao, this is giving them a chance to attack you. How can you do the thing to hand the dagger to the enemy?"

Wei Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid. Horses can be used as Wutong in Zhao State. Can't I do it? I heard that Wutong wood cannot be cut off by a rotten axe, so I will do it according to my wishes."

Wei also stood up and said with a simple face: "Please wait for a day. I will go to the granary to register our grain again, concentrate the grain in the mansion, and give it to the envoy of Zhao."

Wei Wuji nodded.

Late at night, Ming was resting in the inn, and a soldier came to report that someone wanted to pay homage to him. Ming hurriedly got up. At this time, he came to pay homage to him. Perhaps only Li Yu was there. Ming walked out the door excitedly, and then was stunned. The person coming was not Li Yu.

.........

In the next few days, Li Yu stayed at Xinlingjun's mansion with peace of mind. Wei Wuji was very enthusiastic about him. Here, every day was a banquet, and the guests were very happy. Wei Wuji did not forget to help Zhao State, and often asked Wei, did the grain move? And Wei just smiled and replied: The grain is still on the road.

Gradually, Li Yu couldn't sit still anymore. He had already passed a lot of days. Ming seemed to have left Xinling. He had not seen him for many days. He was worried that there was something wrong with Ming and that he had no time to return to help. In Wei State, he heard a lot of news, including the news that Ma Fuzi led thousands of people to attack the 100,000 troops of Yan State. Wei Wuji's disciples raised their glasses to Li Yu, and they all admired Ma Fuzi's courage.

Only Li Yu, he was very worried about Zhao Kuo's safety. He couldn't be happy either.

Wei Wuji was probably a little anxious when he waited, and finally called Wei to the front. He couldn't help but frown and asked: "You never delay your work. Why is it so slow to transport food and grass this time? Are you trying to resist my order?"

Wei lowered his head and said nothing. Wei Wuji asked helplessly: "What's the matter that can't be told to me?"

Wei raised his head and looked ashamed. He said, "I treat your trust badly. Over the years, I have lacked money, so I have been selling your food and grass all the time. I thought you wouldn't notice it, but this time you suddenly want to concentrate food and grass... I can't get it." Wei Wuji was stunned, and the laughter at the banquet stopped abruptly. Everyone looked at Wei in disbelief. Why are you such a person? The contempt and angry eyes almost submerged Wei.

Wei Wuji couldn't speak, he took a deep breath and said, "How many have you sold?"

"Almost all...the granary is empty now."

"I... I trust you so much and give you all your property. Is this how you repay me? Come here!!" Wei Wuji roared, pointing at Wei in front of him, but couldn't say anything anymore, jumping and shouting, "Boll it out for me!!" Several warriors rushed up and beat Wei down. Wei did not resist. Wei Wuji angrily returned to the inner room. Several warriors beat Wei wildly and escorted him out of the door. Even when they were the best friends who were usually with could not help but spit at him.

"Liar! Scum! If you still know some righteousness, you should die!"

Wei was thrown out of the door in a mess, with a bruised and swollen face and scarred. He stood up, slapped the dust on his body, and limped away from here.

Li Yu looked at the farce and sighed. He vaguely suspected that Wei Wuji deliberately instructed Wei and did not want to borrow food for him. He did not go to see Wei Wuji again, and turned around and left here. He wanted to find Ming.

Wei Wuji was sitting indoors and drinking. The old man suddenly walked in and asked in surprise: "What happened? Li Yu left." Wei Wuji covered his face and said in shame: "It's good that he left. I have no face to see him again. You don't know that Wei has been selling my food all these years. No wonder he has been delaying it. It turns out that my food has been stolen by him."

The old man was shocked and hurriedly said, "This is impossible! Wei is not such a person!"

Wei Wuji was stunned and slowly raised his head. Suddenly, he thought of something and jumped up suddenly. As if a gust of wind, he rushed out of the inner room and shouted: "Prepare a horse for me!!" The guests stood up in surprise and doubt. A horse was quickly brought by someone. The old man followed him and asked the guests not to move, so he just waited here, and then he went to chase Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji ran away from his horse, and everyone was avoiding the road, and it was in chaos. Wei Wuji still remembered Wei's courtyard. When the horse rushed outside the courtyard, Wei Wuji jumped off the horse's back, fell, hurriedly got up from the ground, and suddenly opened the gate of the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a blood-stained short sword fell on the ground, and the honest boy fell into a pool of blood.

Wei Wuji looked dull and fell limply in front of the boy.
