Fusu followed Chen Ke's eyes and saw the two people walking towards him.
A flash of surprise flashed across his face: "Huh? General Li is here too? It's really strange."
Chen Ke looked at the two people walking in the distance. In the last letter, Ying Zheng had already told him who the people were.
He also said why he wanted Li Xin to come.
But now, Chen Ke really has no time to spare his hands to resolve the contradiction in Li Xinxin.
A big net is being laid out all over the place. At this moment, every chess player is desperately trying to make moves, fearing that they will not have enough time.
When the two people came to him, Chen Ke said with a smile: "You two have been traveling all the way. It's really hard work."
"sit down."
Wang Ben saw that Chen Ke didn't look surprised at all, and he understood. It seemed that Chen Ke already knew the news about their coming here.
He was not polite immediately and took Li Xin to sit aside.
"Young Master...Oh no, Feng Chang, we came to Penglaizhou on His Majesty's order and obey the Governor's order."
"I am the governor of the state army, and this is Li Xin, the deputy governor of the state army."
Li Xin also spoke at this time, looking at Chen Ke with a lazy and unfocused expression. He was sitting there as if he had no bones.
"If anything happens to the Governor, just ask Brother Wang."
"I'm just here for a false reputation. I usually don't do anything, and I don't know how to hold power. The military power of a state is entirely in the hands of Brother Wang."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Ke's expression suddenly changed across from him.
Chen Ke looked indifferent: "In that case, then go back to Xianyang City and ask your Majesty to send me another deputy governor of the state army."
He closed his eyes and said, "Don't show off your little temper with me. I am not your Majesty, nor am I the rest of your brothers or elders."
"I don't care for idlers here."
Li Xin looked at Chen Ke and was stunned. He didn't expect that Chen Ke would talk to him like this.
He looked at Chen Ke in surprise and said, "You don't know who I am?"
Chen Ke raised his eyes and looked at Li Xin. He stretched out his hand to stop Wang Ben who was about to speak, and just said: "Who are you?"
"Do I need to know who you are?"
"Is your name important?"
"To me, you are just a coward who ran away from the battlefield, a worm who took advantage of the people's wealth, enjoyed countless benefits, but didn't know how to repay the court or the empire."
Chen Ke looked at Li Xin and said, "Who else could you be?"
Li Xin was a little silent, and the two of them looked at each other. At this time, Wang Bi and Fusu were sitting on the side watching the scene, feeling a little worried.
Since that failure, Li Xin's mental and emotional state has been very unstable.
Now this stimulates him...
Li Xin smiled dumbly. He looked at Chen Ke, his expression seemed a little more solemn, and his body subconsciously sat up straight.
He looked at Chen Ke and said, "Governor Chen, what do you want me to do?"
Li Xin smiled bitterly. Although his body was still subconsciously sitting upright, his eyes were filled with deathly silence.
"I'm just a useless person."
"When we stood with the Chu State, if it weren't for me, how could I have sacrificed so many Qin soldiers?"
"Now, why do you still let me take charge of the army?"
"Aren't you afraid that what happened in Chu State will happen again?"
Chen Ke just raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Xin and said, "You only remember one failure of Chu State?"
"In the twenty-fifth year of King Qin's reign, you and General Wang Ben attacked the State of Yan and destroyed the State of Yan. Have you forgotten?"
Li Xin remained silent, and after a moment he said, "That is General Wang Ben's contribution and has nothing to do with me."
Chen Ke asked again: "So you mean that in the 26th year of King Qin's reign, you and General Wang Ben destroyed Qi State together, and it was also General Wang's credit?"
Li Xin nodded slightly: "Not bad."
Chen Ke just sighed, then looked at Li Xin and said, "Li Xin, Li Xin, originally I didn't want to ask this question."
"But now I'm very curious."
He stared into Li Xin's eyes and said, "What exactly made you hide your capabilities and bide your time after His Majesty destroyed the Six Kingdoms?"
"How long are you going to hide yourself by taking advantage of Chu's great defeat?"
"What are you worried about, what are you afraid of?"
Chen Ke looked at Li Xin with confusion on his face: "There are very few things in the world that I don't know."
"But I really don't know about this thing about you."
This is indeed true.
In later generations, many historical records and stories about Li Xin described Li Xin as an image that had declined since the defeat of Chu.
But in fact, when you actually look at historical records, you will find out.
Li Xin participated in the destruction of Yan and Qi respectively as a deputy general in the 25th and 26th years of Qin Wangzheng's reign.
When Qin Wangzheng destroyed Qi in the 26th year of his reign, his contribution was even greater than that of Wang Ben.
Since then, there has been no news from him.
When the news about him appeared, there were already rumors that Li Xin began to become decadent after his defeat in Chu State.
As time went by, most people believed this.
Except for two people.
One is Wang Ben and the other is Ying Zheng.
Because it was Ying Zheng who sent Li Xin in the first place, and it was Wang Ben who followed Li Xin to destroy the two countries.
Only these two people who had experienced it personally understood that there seemed to be a deviation in everyone's memory.
This kind of deviation made Wang Ben and even Ying Zheng a little shy, and even began to deliberately deceive themselves.
They felt that being able to change everyone's memories was probably the magic of the gods.
The purpose of Ying Zheng sending Li Xin this time was not to let Chen Ke persuade Li Xin to come out of the gloom, but to let Chen Ke take a look at whether there were any magic residues on Li Xin's body.
In Chen Ke's view, this is not a so-called spell residue, but a "memory bias".
There are two key points here.
First, Li Xin was really defeated in Chu.
Secondly, Li Xin was really decadent for a period of time after the defeat.
These two true contents are mixed with some false information. Under the confusion of time, too many rumors, and the power of three people, many people's "shallow memory" or "subconscious" has become... Changes have occurred.
The subconscious change gave everyone the impression that Li Xin had been decadent after the defeat of Chu State.
The two times in the middle were probably all due to Wang Ben's contribution. After seeing Wang Ben's ability after returning, he became even more decadent.
Gradually, the news evolved.
Li Xin has been decadent since the defeat of Chu.
This is a very simple little trick, and later generations had a special way of describing it called "montage."
What Chen Ke really didn't understand was why Li Xin did this. There was no reason for it.
Li Xin looked at Chen Ke, whose eyes were clear and somewhat confused, and chuckled.
At this time, his body was sitting upright, as tall as a pine tree, and the decadent air before was completely gone.
"The Governor is really good at being able to see through my disguise."
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Chen Ke and said, "This matter involves some personal matters of mine, and it is not convenient for the Governor to go into detail."
"But isn't this just right?"
"I still maintain my original appearance, but secretly I can dispatch soldiers and generals to serve the governor."
Chen Ke just curled his lips in approval and did not forcefully ask.
After all, he is not a pervert. There is no need to know Li Xin's reasons, as long as Li Xin can do things well.
"Okay, I don't care about your secrets either."
"If a person doesn't have one or two secrets, then he is too much of a failure, right?"
He shook his head and said, "But you are really smarter than Brother Wang."
Chen Ke laughed, pointed at Wang Ben in the distance and said, "Brother Wang, I'm afraid I haven't seen the mystery of this yet, I just think it's strange."
He didn't look at Wang Ben's confused eyes, but said to Li Xin: "In that case, I'll leave it to the general."
Li Xin nodded slightly.
After the two people said goodbye, Fusu said curiously: "Teacher, what is going on?"
"How do I remember that General Li Xin really became decadent after his defeat?"
"But when you say this, I have an impression of the two battles that General Li Xin participated in."
"This shouldn't be the case."
Fusu asked curiously: "Is this a trick of the gods?"
Chen Ke shook his head slightly: 'Of course not. '
"It's just a small way to regain memory. I'll tell you later."
He looked into the distance and said softly: "Now the royal family's forces are moving, and many people are rushing to Penglaizhou in the past two days."
"At this time, Penglaizhou is like a huge vanity fair, gathering everyone's attention."
"We just need to wait slowly for the chess players to enter the field one after another and put down their own chess pieces."

Guanzhong
The fully loaded carriage, carrying the returning travelers, slowly drove through this ancient land.
On the carriage, Feng Jie looked in the distance and seemed to be able to see his hometown.
The moment this team returning from the Western Regions set foot on their hometown, everyone stared at the place with tears.
Their eyes were filled with tears.
After nearly a year, they finally came back...
.........
Xianyang City
Ying Zheng looked at the document in his hand and laughed loudly.
"Hahahahahaha, Feng Jie is back! Good thing, good thing!"
There was emotion on his face: "I just don't know how many of those things Chen Ke mentioned, Feng Jie brought back?"
Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Han Tan beside him and said, "I'm sending you an order that everyone must be present at the court meeting tomorrow."
"After the great meeting, I will personally take care of Feng Jie."
Han Tan bowed slightly: "Here."
.........
Feng Mansion
Feng Quji looked at the family letter in his hand tremblingly, with an excited look on his face.
His son is back!
This return will prove one thing to the entire Xianyang City.
The Feng family did not fall!
ps: Yesterday, I finally had to spend 10,000 points to exchange for a leave request slip, which was a huge loss. I really have lost every penny this month, and I can’t even exchange a single leave request note.
The next one requires 100,000 points.
I decided to work hard! I want to give you a surprise!
!
Let’s wait and see!
Also, no more today. The chapters fit together.
