Looking at Passerby A and the Frightening Salamander standing behind Lu Buwei, Le Hou's calm eyes were filled with shock.
He had thought that Lu Buwei would only take over the Network after Ying Chu became the new King of Qin. He had not expected that he would be the boss of the Network now.
It seemed that Ying Chu's success in ascending to the throne was not only due to Madam Hua Yang's love. This net must have contributed a lot.
"Your Excellency, I believe you should understand Zheng 'er's identity. Since you have already accepted Zheng' er as your disciple, it also means that you are on our side.”
Lu Buwei put away his fishing rod after seeing the indifferent expression on his face. It seemed that he had not gained anything from today's fishing.
"Lord Lu, you are wrong. I am not on your side. I am only on my disciple's side.”
Ying Chu only had five years left to live, so Empress Le naturally didn't care what he thought. Lu Buwei had been jumping around in history for a long time, but now he had his little disciple.
Although he didn't look like an official, it was still possible to clear the obstacles for his little disciple.
A person who was about to die, a person who was destined to die, naturally Le Hou would not stand on their side.
However, he could make use of it a little.
After listening to Le Hou's words, Lu Buwei instantly understood that this Le Hou was his past self.
When he first met Ying Chu, he knew that this person would definitely achieve great things in the future, so he had used all of his assets to help Ying Chu build up his reputation.
Through his efforts, the current Ying Chu had been taken in by King An, and King Zhaoxiang's health was deteriorating day by day. All the political affairs of the Qin country were managed by King An.
In at most a year, King Zhaoxiang would probably pass away on his crane. At that time, An Guo Jun would succeed the throne, and Ying Chu would be the Crown Prince of Qin State.
Lu Buwei's biggest business in his life would be earning a lot of money.
Because of this experience, Lu Buwei believed that Le Hou was just like him, placing all her bets on Zhao Zheng, because Zhao Zheng's experience was too similar to Ying Chu's.
Based on this speculation, Lu Buwei had already assumed that Le Hou was the same kind of person as him.
Unfortunately, Ying Chu was only in his thirties, and his body was very healthy. Le Hou would have to wait for a long time before she could get anything in return.
"I understand what you mean. I'll leave Zheng 'er to you for the time being in Handan.”
Lu Buwei was relieved after guessing Le Hou's attitude. Since he wanted to use Zhao Zheng to get to the top, he would not treat Zhao Zheng badly.
It was not good to say too much.
"Zheng 'er is my disciple, so I don't know how to treat him. But Lord Lu, although Qin and Zhao seem to be at peace these years, there are hidden waves. No matter who attacks first, King Zhao will kill Zheng' er first. I wonder if you have any plans for this.”
As for how Lu Buwei had sent Zhao Zheng and her daughter back to the State of Qin, Le Hou did not know.
However, Empress Le knew that with his appearance, the current King of Zhao had already noticed this hostage of the Qin country. It would be much harder for Zhao Zheng to return to the Qin country than in history.
Empress Le could only choose to cooperate with Lu Buwei to get Zhao Zheng to return to the State of Qin.
Although his Qimen Dunjia was miraculous, he was only one person after all. Although it was not impossible to bring Zhao Zheng and her daughter out of the country of Zhao safely, it was too difficult.
Le Hou's question stumped Lu Buwei. He had wanted to see if he could negotiate for Zhao Zheng to return home safely.
However, due to the current relationship between Qin and Zhao, this idea was no different from a fantasy.
After listening to the music queen's reminder, Lu Buwei knew that it was time to plan for Zhao Zheng's return.
If Qin and Zhao really started a war, Lu Buwei would be able to react in time and send people to escort Zhao Zheng back to his country.
"Thank you for your reminder, sir. I'll start planning after I return. When do you think it's best to bring Zheng 'er and his son back?”
The current Lu Buwei was not as arrogant as he was when he was the Prime Minister. He was willing to lower his status and talk to a capable person like Le Hou.
"The time is not ripe yet. When I accepted Zheng 'er as my disciple, I made a divination. Two years later is a good time. If I miss this time, it will be even more difficult for Zheng' er to return to China.”
"Divination? Do you know divination?"
When he heard that this was actually a result of Le Hou's divination, Lu Buwei felt a little heartbroken. Could this person be a swindler?
"It's not impossible to say that. I only know a little Qimen Dunjia.”
"Qimen Dunjia?"
Lu Buwei's breathing began to quicken. After entering the " upper class " society, he had some understanding of Qimen Dunjia.
A true emperor knew that even if he couldn't rule the world, he could at least make the country prosperous and the people peaceful.
A king who knew Qimen Dunjia might not necessarily succeed, but a successful king would definitely have someone who was proficient in Qimen Dunjia to assist him.
It was not an exaggeration to describe Lu Buwei as someone who had a pie in the sky.
The strange person with the Qimen Dun Jia was actually Zhao Zheng's master.
Who else would be able to shake Zhao Zheng's position after he returned?
"I didn't expect you to have such a strange technique. I was rude just now.”
Ever since he learned that Empress Le knew Qimen Dunjia, Lu Buwei had changed his address of Empress Le from 'Your Excellency' to 'Mister' and his own address had changed from 'This Official' to 'Me'.
Her face changed too quickly.
It was so fast that Le Hou even thought that he was the one who invented the face-changing style of Sichuan opera in the future.
"There's no need to care about these formalities. Although the actual operation will take place two years later, because of my appearance, King Zhao has already begun to notice Zheng 'er. It's best if you leave someone behind to help me in the dark in case of any mishaps.”
After talking to Lu Buwei for a long time, Le Hou finally revealed his ultimate goal.
That was the Startling Salamander.
Empress Le had thought that she would only be able to see the Startling Salamander when she went to the State of Qin two years later, but she hadn't expected Lu Buwei to bring the Startling Salamander with him to Handan this time.
It really took no effort for him to walk five meters. Since you came to my door, don't blame me for being impolite.
Of course, he had to put on an act when he needed to. Otherwise, wouldn't Le Hou's otherworldly appearance be ruined?
"I won't hide it from you, sir. I have the same intention as you on this trip to Zhao. Jingli, you will temporarily stay here and listen to your orders.”
"Yes, sir!"
The voice of the Startling Salamander was cold and emotionless. She was still a killing machine, and no matter how outrageous Lu Buwei's orders were, she would follow them.
Seeing that Lu Buwei had indeed let the Startling Salamander stay, Empress Le was finally smiling in her heart.
He knew that with his identity as the successor of the Qimen Dun Jia, there was no way Lu Buwei would let a killer stay.
