Li Chi was stunned at first, and then almost jumped up from his seat. Since coming to Xianyang, his mentor seemed to have become a stranger to him.
When I came to visit you today, what was the fuss about?
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Chi came out of the hall and went to greet Yu Buwei in person.
Before he went out, Yu Buwei had already come in by himself.
In the court, Prime Minister Yu Buwei stood at the front.
As the order of Xianyang, although he could also enter the court and be in the Chengtian Palace, Li Chi stood at the back. Here, it was difficult for them to face each other.
During the holidays, Li Chi would come to visit with gifts, but Yu Buwei was lukewarm.
It seems that Li Chi came to Xianyang in his own way and became the order of Xianyang. For Yu Buwei, this was not what he, the prime minister of the dynasty, wanted to see.
"I've seen you, Prime Minister!" Li Chi saluted hurriedly when he saw Yu Buwei.
A gentle smile appeared on Yu Buwei's face and he said: "It's so unfamiliar, it seems that we haven't interacted with each other for a long time!"
Li Chi didn't quite understand what Yu Buwei meant, but today, Yu Buwei was indeed a little different.
After being stunned for a moment, Li Chi showed a respectful smile on his face, "My teacher said that when my teacher comes today, the students will prepare wine and food. Let's have a few drinks!"
Yu Buwei nodded and followed Li Chi in.
Not long after, the food and drinks were served.
"Do you still remember the scene when you went to my house?" Yu Buwei said.
When Li Chi heard this, he suddenly recalled the workplace, and scenes from the past emerged in his mind.
At that time, Li Chi was an impulsive young man who didn't understand the world. Whenever he encountered any injustice, he would take action to rectify it.
But he is not just an angry young man. He is knowledgeable, knowledgeable and has the world in mind.
It is precisely because of this that Li Chi was seen by Yu Buwei and became Yu Buwei's disciple.
"Remember, how can a student not remember such a scene? If it were not for his mentor, the student would not be where he is today!" Li Chi said.
Yu Buwei waved his hand, smiled indifferently, and said: "You are not just a thing in the pond. Sooner or later, you will soar into the sky. I am very sure of this!"
Li Chi also smiled. He also clearly understood his abilities, knowledge, talents, etc.
If he didn't even have this bit of self-confidence, how could he, Li Chi, become the Order of Xianyang today?
"But, you are too impatient. The blood book is eight hundred miles away. As soon as my teacher saw the blood book, he knew what was going on. The seal of Mingshan must also be a part of your contribution!" Yu Buwei looked at it. Li Chi said calmly.
Li Chi's heart trembled violently, but the expression on his face did not change at all.
Yu Buwei chuckled, "You don't need to deny it immediately. Since I dare to say this, there is evidence. At that time, I knew that your only intention was to be like Xianyang, so you still wrote the blood letter. The report was given to the late king, and my master knew that once His Highness, now the King, goes to Shannan County, your plan will be successful!"
"Of course, I know that the person you are looking forward to is not just His Highness at that time, His Highness the Second Highness, His Highness the Third Highness, or other people in the army. As long as there is one person who comes to Shannan County, the plan will be successful!"
Li Chi's expression couldn't help changing. He didn't expect Yu Buwei to understand these layouts so well.
"The seal of Mingshan Mountain is indeed caused by my actions, but my teacher understands that some problems need to be solved and strong medicine is needed. Now that Shannan County can have the peace it has today and the people live and work in peace and contentment, my teacher thinks that the student has really done something wrong?" Li Chi said.
Yu Buwei said: "What are you thinking about? Of course I know that you have made great contributions, and there is nothing wrong with it. But what will happen if the king knows these secrets? You have known the king for more than a day or two. , you should understand his temperament, right?"
Li Chi said: "What exactly does the teacher want to say?"
"Master, I want to say that there is only one way to keep this secret now!" Yu Buwei said calmly.
Li Chi said: "What method?"
"Then the king is not the king!" Yu Buwei's expression did not change much.
Li Chi didn't speak, his expression kept changing, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.
"Could it be that my mentor was in charge of everything that happened in the past few days?" Li Chi said.
Yu Buwei said: "When I was doing business in the State of Zhao, I met the late king. Based on the late king's talents, I judged at that time that he would definitely become the king of a country in the future. It was precisely with this judgment that I became what I am today. division!"
"Below one person and above ten thousand people, this is who I am now. But after the new king came to the throne, he seemed to do nothing, but he kept weakening my power. You must also know how wonderful the taste of power is. , to weaken my power is to rob me of my food, do you think a teacher should just accept it and acquiesce that he does all this?"
The more Yu Buwei talked, the more excited he became.
Li Chi looked at Yu Buwei blankly, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
"You know, even without your plan, I would have transferred you back from Shannan County sooner or later, because we are master and apprentice!" Yu Buwei said.
Li Chi still didn't speak, just looked at Yu Buwei quietly.
"Are you from the Third Prince?" Li Chi asked.
Yu Buwei chuckled, "Being a teacher will not be anyone else's. Being a teacher will only be one's own. Li Chi, you need to understand that you can't rely on anyone but ourselves, the king of a country." So what? When our power is strong enough and our ability is strong enough, if you don't listen to us, just change someone else!"
Li Chi's mouth moved slightly, he didn't know what to say.
After a while, Li Chi came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and said, "No wonder those people entered Xianyang. I didn't know at all that besides the Qingtian Sect, there was also my mentor, the prime minister who could cover the sky, secretly helping!"
"It's not too late to realize it now. What I said just now is that I don't need the answer right away, but you must give me the answer tomorrow!" Yu Buwei picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come, let's drink!"
Li Chi picked up the wine glass and drank a glass with Yu Buwei. For some reason, he felt that the wine was not very tasty. You must know that in order to greet his mentor, what he took out was the aged wine he had collected.
"Well, you are worthy of being a disciple of your master. This peach blossom wine must be at least thirty years old, right?" Yu Buwei looked at the wine glass, smelling the rich aroma of the wine, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Li Chi said: "The students bought this after they came to Xianyang. It seems that the wine shopkeeper did not lie to the students. This wine is really thirty years old!"
"People who make wine know who knows wine and who doesn't!" Yu Buwei said.
Li Chi nodded, "Those who know how to drink will naturally understand what kind of wine is good!"
"Yes, the wine in Shannan County is indeed good, but the wine in Shuzhong should also be excellent. If you want, come to my master's house for a few drinks tomorrow. I will let you Try the wine from Shu!" Yu Buwei said.
In addition to his position as prime minister, Yu Buwei was also the Marquis of Wenxin granted by the previous king, and his fiefdom was in the middle of Shu.
By inviting Li Chi and drinking wine from Shu, isn't it because he wants Li Chi to be on his side?
Moreover, the meaning of Yu Buyi's words was already obvious. Even if they failed, there would still be a place in Shuzhong that they had been operating for many years.
At that time, the land in the middle of Shu can be divided into one country.
If Li Chi follows him, he will have a bright future if he advances, and he will be rich and powerful if he retreats.
It seems that there is no such a good choice in this world.
Yu Buwei knew that Li Chi was a smart man, and for this reason, he would understand.
"Really? Students will definitely want to try it if they have the chance!" Li Chi replied casually. The wine he treated today was really frightening to drink.
But the temptation that Yu Buwei threw out was really tempting.
The most important thing is that Li Chi has an ulterior secret of his own. He doesn't know if Qin Zheng and Xie Yunxiao will blame him if they know his secret.
Once the charges are brought to light, he's probably really done.
"Okay, think about it carefully, I'll take my leave first!" Yu Buwei stood up, turned around and left. The room suddenly became quiet.
Li Chi sat at the table and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. At this moment, what choice should he make?
Nearly half an hour later, Li Yuxuan walked in. Looking at the delicious dishes on the table and the thirty-year-old peach blossom wine, Li Yuxuan said with a smile: "It seems that the guests we are entertaining today are not ordinary guests, otherwise those jars of wine , even if I go to get it, I will probably blush!"
Li Chi smiled bitterly, what should he say?
"Let me guess, is it Yu or not?" Li Yuxuan said.
Li Chi's heart trembled violently, his eyes filled with surprise, "How do you know?"
"I know a lot more than you think!" Li Yuxuan said.
Li Chi didn't say anything because he didn't know if his smart elf sister was deceiving him.
"Yu Buwei is extremely ambitious. Now that he has come to see you, it must be that he can no longer hide the things he has done!" Li Yuxuan said.
Li Chi moved his mouth slightly, but he shouldn't have said anything. He already understood that Li Yuxuan really knew what Yu Buwei was going to do.
"Now that I have come here, I hope that you, master and disciple, can join forces and work together for a great cause?" Li Yuxuan said.
Li Chi said: "He did say that!"
"What he said is not the key, the key is what you think!" Li Yuxuan said.
Li Chi said: "I do crave power, but I am not a person without a bottom line!"
"The person Yu Buwei is actually most afraid of is you!" Li Yuxuan said.
Li Chi was stunned for a moment, "How could that happen?"
"If I weren't afraid of you, why would I let you go to Shannan County? Do I really believe that you have extraordinary talents and that you can solve Shannan County's problems, so that I can promote you? If that's the case, is there any need for you to plan?" Li Yuxuan said.
Li Chi looked at Li Yuxuan blankly and said, "This is impossible. I had nothing at that time, and he was the Prime Minister of Ning Guo with all the power!"
"Although you had nothing at that time, your knowledge and skills were all here. If you stayed in the court, you would be the only person who could threaten his status!" Li Yuxuan said.
Li Chi smiled bitterly. Should he believe what Li Yuxuan said?
