Chapter 18
As all the Qin troops near Hangu Pass poured into South Korea, the Hangu Pass became more and more peaceful.
It was still the small courtyard, but the owner had changed at this time. In the past few days, there was nothing wrong with Hangu Pass, but a small episode happened.
In a place where Ying Zheng did not notice, Lu Buwei summoned the female killer he had summoned again, but this time it was not for the purpose of assigning tasks, but for the purpose of canceling the tasks.
Because of the appearance of a person, Lu Buwei had to give up this plan. No one could hide his martial arts under Guiguzi's nose, even the female killer who was already at the top of the Luowang Killer.
The value of undercover existence is based on concealment. When this concealment no longer exists, the undercover will no longer have the value of existence.
Ying Zheng, who didn't know that the existence of Guiguzi had ruined the good things that might have happened to him, was looking at Gai Nie who was practicing swordsmanship with great pleasure. Gai Nie, who was about the same age as Ying Zheng, had already had the shadow of a sword saint in the future. Although each move did not have any special effects of sword energy and murderous aura, the transformation of sword techniques was as smooth as flowing water. He had long been no longer bound by the evolution of moves, and had almost done whatever he wanted.
This made Ying Zheng feel a little envious. Although he had already copied Guiguzi's sword skills in the past few days, he also knew that there was still a long way to go between knowing and using it, but there was no way to take advantage of this process, only dripping water could wear away a stone.
On the other side are Lu Buwei and Guiguzi, who are playing chess. One is the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and the other is the contemporary leader of the Zongheng family. They are undoubtedly not the masters of this time, and they are both skilled in planning. Therefore, the chess game is so fierce that it is even more so in Gai Nie's sword skills. But when the two old men play chess, how can the young man dances a sword?
"I lost." Lu Buwei put down the chess piece in his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I have nothing to do recently, and in order to test Guiguzi, he has often played games with Guiguzi, but he always lost more and won less, but he was also aroused his competitive spirit. Therefore, he had already forgotten everything else without realizing it and just wanted to win back his own face.
Guiguzi smiled reservedly. If Ying Zheng saw this smile, Ying Zheng would definitely mock him. His seemingly reserved but actually proud smile had already been seen through by Ying Zheng. In other words, Lu Buwei was either thinking about the chess game or guessing Ying Zheng's thoughts all day, so he did not see through Guiguzi's essence.
After all, Gai Nie Weizhuang’s faults are not born, they are just over-influenced.
"It seems that the king likes swordsmanship very much?" Although Lu Buwei failed to see through Guiguzi's nature, he also knew that he could not continue to get involved in the chess game with the other party, so he took advantage of Ying Zheng to change the topic well.
"When I was in Zhao State, Gu's biggest dream was to learn swordsmanship and go around the world with a horse and a sword. Just think about it, I feel free and easy." Ying Zheng smiled and walked to the front of the game before he could finish the game. "Father Zhong, have you lost again?"
Lu Buwei's old face turned red and he was a little embarrassed, but he just flashed away, saying, "Mr. Guigu is very good at chess skills, I can't compare to it."
"The Prime Minister's chess skills are also very good. When it comes to talent, it is just that I play too little and I am inferior to my experience." Guiguzi said happily.
Not under me? It’s really a lineage. Ying Zheng said silently and then said, “So, Xiangfu, you and Mr. Guigu compete for victory or defeat in the chess game, and you have chosen the wrong battlefield. You can compete for victory or defeat in the governance and Mr. Guigu compete for victory or defeat in the political situation.”
"Why didn't the king say it earlier? If this is true, I might be able to learn what Mr. Guigu said." Lu Buwei said annoyedly.
"How did the king know that I will lose?" Guiguzi said lightly.
"Why might as well compete?" Ying Zheng said to the two people in front of him.
"I lost all today. I wonder if Mr. Guigu is willing to help me?" Lu Buwei said.
"The Prime Minister seems to be unable to resist me?" Guiguzi pretended to be helpless, but in fact he had already made up his mind.
"Since that's the case, for the sake of fairness, I will make the question." Ying Zheng sat on the empty stone bench next to him and said slowly.
“To ensure fairness, that’s right.”
"Since Zhongfu and his husband have no objection, I will also have a question." Ying Zheng paused for a moment and continued: "The question is how to truly conquer South Korea after conquering Xinzheng."
Lu Buwei and Guiguzi were stunned at the same time. This question is not difficult. The answer is easy to figure out, but it is very troublesome to prove it is right. It is difficult to truly convince the other party when discussing politics on paper. The best way is to prove it with practice.
"King, your question will be difficult." Lu Buwei said with a wry smile.
"I always feel like I might be cheated on the King of Qin's question." Guiguzi hesitated. He had already vaguely felt how to decide the outcome on this issue, but because he knew, he hesitated.
"After conquering South Korea, I was preparing to establish the land of South Korea into two counties, one in Yingchuan and the other in Nanyang, and two counties as scripts. I wonder if Zhongfu and Mr. Zhong also want to write their own answers on these two volumes of scripts?"
At this time, it was not only Guiguzi who hesitated, but even Lu Buwei had to hesitate. What about using the two counties as the books? In other words, it was just the position of the county magistrate of the two counties. Guiguzi might hesitate about whether he wanted to agree to this county magistrate, but Lu Buwei did not need to hesitate at all. He was crazy and agreed to such a bet, and the Prime Minister of Qin would be even more fragrant.
But did the king say casually or had a premeditation? Lu Buwei couldn't help but sound the alarm in his heart.
Ying Zheng saw Lu Buwei's hesitation and understood what he had in his heart. Naturally, he could not let Lu Buwei be the county magistrate, and Lu Buwei could not agree.
Ying Zheng's calmness quickly dispelled the doubts in his heart. He couldn't help but feel that he had become a frightened bird because of Ying Zheng's rise against the wind. How could Ying Zheng's wisdom do such extremely unwise things?
Lu Buwei, who wanted to get through the joints, no longer had any worries and replied readily: "If this is the case, I am more looking forward to this competition."
"In this case, if I don't agree, will I admit defeat?" Guiguzi said with a wry smile.
He felt that he had been plotted, but if he admits a favor, he is too against his will.
Guiguzi was unable to tell which one of the two things that helped Qin and admit defeat made him more uncomfortable. It was because of this that he became even more depressed.
"With one year as the deadline, Zhongfu can appoint a county magistrate by himself, and Mr. Guigu, you can recommend candidates or take the position by yourself. After one year, you can determine the winner and lose according to the results. I wonder what Zhongfu and Mr. Zhongfu think?" Ying Zheng continued.
Guiguzi was still struggling, while Lu Buwei was completely relieved.
"For fairness, the right to appoint officials in the two counties can also be handed over to the county magistrates of the two counties."
"Can you let me think about it?" Guiguzi felt that his heart was about to be confused.
