Qin Country, Xianyang, Fusu Mansion.
The waning moon was shrouded in thick fog. The moonlight was desolate and heartbreaking.
The autumn wind was bleak, and the courtyard was deep. It was as if one could see strands of silver light flickering in the dark night.
Great Qin's Imperial Guards were like a pack of wolves lying in wait, ready to unleash a thunderous killing intent at any moment.
In the study, Fu Su and a man in gray stood facing each other.
Fu Su, who was usually gentle and refined, now revealed a trace of dominance. Although he was dressed in plain clothes, his eyes were shining brightly. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he looked at the gray-robed man in front of him, as if he was waiting for something.
At this moment, the man in gray was also standing tall and calm. He just looked at Fu Su quietly. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, only a trace of respect for the superior. Time passed bit by bit. It was almost the middle of the moon, but the two of them were still silent. They were silently competing with each other in terms of temperament and wisdom.
She gently picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Their eyes were interrupted by her long sleeves. The next second, when their eyes met again, the man in gray could not help but tremble. At that moment, he saw a trace of emotion in Fu Su's eyes. With just one look, the man in gray understood that if this continued, he would not be able to walk out of this room tonight.
Who knew that just as the grey-robed man was about to speak, Fu Su beat him to it." Teacher Jiang, you didn't recommend yourself to come to this study today just to drink tea, right?”
"Yes, Young Master is wise." His confident smile and calm demeanor reminded Fu Su of two people: Lu Buwei and Li Si.
Fu Su had met Lu Buwei a few times when he was still the chief actor, and now he was quite close to Li Si. He was equally calm, confident, and had the same look of confidence. However, Lu Buwei was more open-minded, Li Si was more resolute, and Mister Jiang was more refined. It was just that he did not know if he was Lu Buwei or Li Si to Fu Su.
"May I know what advice Mister Jiang has for Fu Su?”
"I dare not-I dare not advise you. As the saying goes, I take the monarch's salary and shoulder the monarch's worries. I have been in Young Master's residence for more than a month, but I have no achievements. I feel guilty in my heart.”
"Oh, now that the Great Qin Empire's unification of the world is irreversible, Fusu has no worries about food and clothing, and he is healthy and healthy.”
"Hehe, Young Master is experienced and has no doubts. What Young Master is worried about is in the north. I wonder if this Jiang is right?”
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes." How did you know that Fusu's concern is only related to the north?”
"Just as Young Master said, Great Qin is rising day by day, and its power is growing day by day. The unification is irreversible. It is reasonable for the Yan Country in the north to request to surrender now. However, Young Master is puzzled about why the Yan Country requested to surrender. Why did the King of Yan and the Crown Prince of Yan, Dan Weilai, send a so-called envoy?”
The hands hidden in his sleeves instantly clenched. A superior cared the most about the resourcefulness of his subordinates, and vice versa. People who were too wise did not know how to restrain themselves and revealed their abilities. They were the most likely to shock the master with their achievements. People who came early to kill and were too mediocre were loyal, but they were useless. They were like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon. As a lord, he liked people who were mediocre the most. They were talented and knew how to strategize, but at the same time, they also had a certain degree of relaxation and restraint. This is the best way to win the lord's favor.
At this moment, the words of the grey-robed man were a little too much. Fu Su considered it in his heart, but his expression did not change. He only smiled and said," Sir, you are right. I wonder if Sir can dispel the doubts in Fu Su's heart?"”
"Young Master is the ruler, and I am a subject. I am duty-bound to do this. Young Master, please sit down and listen to me in detail.”
Smiling, Fu Su sat down and sipped his tea as instructed. However, he heard the gray-robed man say," The envoy from the Yan Kingdom has crossed the Yi River from the south and will arrive in Xianyang in a few days. However, the reason why the King of Yan and the Crown Prince of Yan, Dan, did not go to the Qin Kingdom is that they are imitating Cao Mo's kidnapping of Duke Huan of Qi and taking a risk!”
As soon as these words were said, it was immediately deafening. He helped Su stand up and said in astonishment,"Sir, are you serious?!"”
"Young Master, although I don't have any evidence, I dare to say that it's true.”
"No, I must immediately enter the palace to report this to my father. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, I can't take the risk!”After saying that, she was about to walk out.
"Young Master, please wait…"
"Is there anything else, sir?"
"Young Master, please think about it. For such a big matter, the King will not consider it thoroughly, and Lord Li Si will not consider it completely. I heard that the King and Young Master were enjoying the flowers in the palace for more than four hours today.”
He stopped in his tracks." You mean-"
"That's right, this is a trap!”These words were spoken with great confidence.
"What a good way to invite the monarch into the trap. Sir's description is really appropriate.”
"Since that's the case, what do you think Fusu should do next?”
"What Young Master needs to do now is to lie low and wait for a chance. If the Yan Country sincerely requests to surrender, then there will be nothing to worry about. If the Yan Country wants to do that, then the King will definitely use this as an excuse to attack the Yan Country. Young Master needs to carefully study the plan to attack the Yan Country in case of emergencies!”
"Good. What you said is very true. Therefore, Gan Luo was the prime minister at the age of twelve. Today, I, Fusu, have met you. It's really Fusu's luck! Please enlighten me."
"Greetings, Lord-"
After the gray-robed man left, Fu Su smiled gently and muttered," Jiang Jiyu is a good one. He is decisive in military affairs and wise in Confucianism. The combination of the two is truly a talent for assisting the king."
Since ancient times, good birds chose trees and wise officials chose their masters. Yi Yin assisted Shang Tang, and Tai Gong assisted King Wu. Now, whether Fu Su and he would become another pair of monarch-minister stories, everyone would wait and see.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A month later, at the Courier Station in the State of Qin.
The moon's shadow floated and sank. In the hazy moonlight, two black shadows shuttled back and forth.
In the posthouse, the lights had already been extinguished. In this dark night, it was as if everything had quietly fallen asleep.
In a side room, two black figures stopped and quietly walked into the room. The people in the room seemed to know that there would be guests tonight and had already prepared wine and dishes to entertain the guests.
"You guys are here. It seems like you're a little late.”His tone was calm, as if he was really asking his friend why he was late for the banquet.
"The road was dark, so I was delayed.”A female voice answered him. It was crisp and pleasant to the ear, but there was an uncontrollable excitement in her tone.”
"Is that so? Are you okay?" A true iron blooded man, at this moment, shed a tear.
"I'm fine. How are you?"
"I'm-no, because you're-not with me.”
"The ups and downs of fate, fate plays tricks on people. These are not things that I can control.”
The two of them asked and answered each other. Their true feelings had long been revealed, but there was always a table between them. It seemed that everyone was restraining something.
"After everything is over, can you leave the Qin country with me?”
Silence, a deathly silence. The expression on her beautiful face changed, but it was still undecided.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Li Ji can't leave the State of Qin.”
" Why-" He shouted himself hoarse, his eyes filled with horror.
" Ever since I came here, I've never thought of leaving. The reason I'm still alive isn't because of revenge, fear of death, or even for you, Senior Brother.”The faint tone seemed to be talking to herself, but it also seemed to be telling her inner world.
" Then…why are you here?"
"Tianming, the only reason I'm still in this world is because of that poor child.”
"The child-where is the child now?”Hearing the news of his child, Jing Ke was instantly flustered.
"Senior Brother! Don't worry, the child is in a safe place now. He won't be in any danger. Li Ji is content that you care so much about him.”
"How can I not care? That's my blood, our flesh and blood.”
" Alright, Li Ji is tired and needs to go back to rest. Senior Brother, you should rest early too. You still have to meet the King of Qin tomorrow!”
"Li Ji! "Are you really so determined?" His voice was bitter, filled with despair and helplessness.
"Senior Brother, if you think that I'm being decisive, then I have nothing to say.”After saying that, he did not say anything else and turned around resolutely.
What an intelligent woman. Assassination required calmness, and calmness meant not having the slightest bit of worry and restraint. Only by forgetting all feelings and all distractions could one be absolutely calm. However, he knew that as long as she was around, Jing Ke would not be able to do this. Therefore, she wanted to help him. Even if she was reluctant to part with him, she still wanted to cut off her love with her sword. It was better to forget about each other than to help each other. A thousand words were not as good as silent love. This was Li Ji!
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
After Li Ji left, Jing Ke could only smile wryly. He looked at each other and said nothing more." Zihong, thank you. Thank you, brother."”
"No need! If you don't get drunk, you'll get drunk. Big brother, your heart is in a mess!”
"Tonight, let's do as we please and let loose for a while. Perhaps this will be the last time for us brothers.”
"Did Xiao Gao tell you?"
"Yes, Xiao Gao told me that our third brother is the young master of the Yan Country, the commander of the Mo Family, Yan Hong. It's really unexpected, but it's also reasonable.”
"Hah! Haha!"
The stars were cold, the moon was cold, and the clouds were scattered. Perhaps many years later, no one would remember this night. Even the paintings would not be able to find a trace of it. The only witness would be the starry sky and the cold moon!
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
How long will the moon come in the blue sky? I'll stop drinking and ask.
People can not climb the moon, but the moon runs with people.
as bright as a mirror in the red watchtower. the green smoke extinguished all the clear splendor of the hair.
I only see the night coming from the sea. How can I know whether it is coming from the clouds?
White rabbit pounding medicine autumn spring, Chang'e alone with whom to live?
Today's people do not see the ancient moon, but today's moon once shone on the ancients.
The ancients and today's people are like running water, watching the moon together is like this.
I only hope that when singing and drinking, the moonlight will shine in the golden cup.
