"I finally climbed to Handan."
Outside Handan City, a young man dressed as a beggar stood in front of the city gate and shouted loudly. The pedestrians around him were so shocked that they all avoided him and looked at him as if he was crazy.
"Stop shouting, it's not embarrassing enough." The old man wearing tattered clothes and a crown on his head quickly covered the young man's mouth and whispered.
"Stay away from me, you stink too much." The young man broke away from the old man and said impatiently.
"You think you don't stink?" the old man replied immediately.
"If you, old guy, hadn't lost your money bag, would the two of us be like this?" the young man cursed angrily.
"Even if I lose my money bag, it is still my money bag. What does it have to do with you? You are like this because you are incompetent. How can I teach you as a teacher? Have you forgotten so much knowledge?" The old man said in his head He raised his head and said proudly.
"You have the ability? If you have the ability, don't grab the piece of steamed bun someone gave me this morning." The young man looked at the old man.
"Aren't I afraid that you won't be able to finish the meal?" The old man knew he was in the wrong and his voice was much lower.
"Can't finish eating? Two more pieces are not enough for me to eat." The young man touched his stomach, and his stomach immediately grumbled twice in agreement.
"I'm still your teacher after all. It's okay if you don't call me teacher. You should have a better attitude." The old man said angrily.
"Have you ever seen a teacher snatch steamed buns from his disciples?" the young man asked.
"Have you ever seen any disciple who saw his teacher still hungry and ate first?" the old man asked.
"snort!"
"snort!"
The two of them turned away at the same time.
"If your senior brother hadn't written to me to beg me, do you think I would be willing to come to Handan?" After a while, the old man couldn't help but muttered.
"Pull it, please. Huh? I still have senior brothers in Handan?" The young man looked at the old man in surprise.
"Hmph, your teacher and I have disciples all over the world, how could there not be one in Handan?" the old man said with a proud face.
"With your level, I guess the disciples you teach are not that good either." The young man curled his lips.
"I seem to have seen your senior brother coming." The old man's eyes suddenly lit up and he rushed towards the city gate, shouting: "Disciple! Disciple!"
Just as Pang Nuan was about to leave the city, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears, and he felt a little confused. Then he saw a beggar rushing towards his direction.
The guards guarding the city reacted quickly and stopped him in a few breaths.
"I am his teacher, please let me go." The old man shouted.
Pang Nuan took a closer look, and it seemed that he was really his teacher. He quickly got off his horse, strode up to the old man, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Student greets the teacher."
"Good disciple, I finally meet you," He Guanzi said excitedly, grabbing Pang Nuan's arm. Pang Nuan suddenly felt a stench coming over him, making him unable to open his eyes.
"Teacher...did you fall into the pit?" Pang Nuan blurted out.
"What's this?" He Guanzi's face darkened.
"Hahaha." Pang Nuan laughed, bowed his hands to the city gate guard, and said apologetically: "This is indeed my teacher, I'm sorry for bothering you. I'll treat you to a drink while you guys take turns."
"I was just rude." The city gate guard held up his hands and stepped back.
"The student has been waiting for you for a month and I haven't seen you. I thought you didn't plan to come to Handan. But... Teacher, your appearance now..." Pang Nuan looked at He Guanzi and said with some suspicion.
Are you playing some special fetish again?
"We will talk about this later. Let me introduce you first. This is your junior brother, Huang Shigong." He Guanzi pulled the young man behind him out.
"Huang Shigong has met senior brother." Huang Shigong said with clasped fists.
He was abandoned in Huangshan since he was a child. He had no father or mother, no name and no family name. He was often looked down upon by others, so he called himself Huang Shigong and traveled around. Later, He Guanzi discovered that Huang Shigong was a piece of rough jade, but he was delayed, so he took it away. Take him with you and teach him the skills of Huang Lao.
As expected, Huang Shigong lived up to He Guanzi's expectations. In just a few years, he learned most of his skills.
"Junior brother." Pang Nuan returned the salute.
Although he was a somewhat unreliable teacher, his eyes were extremely vicious. For Huang Shigong to be accepted as his disciple, he must have something special about him.
"Senior brother, the teacher and I haven't eaten for several days. Can you see if you can..." Huang Shigong said feebly, not showing any concern at all.
Pang Nuan looked at He Guanzi, who nodded.
"Teacher and junior brother, hold on, we will be home soon." Pang Nuan was shocked and quickly asked his men to free up two horses.
…
When Lu Buwei entered Handan, he had to admit that, at least on the surface, Handan's prosperity was already among the best in the world!
Not to mention Xianyang, which is located in a corner and its business has been severely suppressed. Even Daliang and Taoyi in the past cannot compare with Handan now.
"Is this Handan!" This was the first time that Prince Zhu saw Handan, which was more prosperous than Xianyang.
"Master, this is Handan." Lu Buwei cupped his hands and said.
"Where are we waiting?" Tai Zi Zhu asked.
"Although there are official residences in Handan for envoys from various countries to rest, the identity of the young master is too conspicuous. I happened to have a house in Handan back then. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to sell it. It's better for the young master to live there temporarily." Lu Buwei said. .
"Thank you for your hard work." Prince Zhu nodded.
The purpose of his coming to Handan was not to attend the so-called wedding, but to find a famous doctor to treat him. If Zhao Guo discovers his identity, although it will not do anything to him directly, it will probably prevent him from finding a famous doctor.
"Master, please come with me." Lu Buwei stretched out his hand and said.
"Roll!"
At this time, there was a rapid sound of priests in the distance, and a luxurious six-carriage drove from a distance. The horses pulling the cart were very handsome, with thick and powerful limbs. The driver was extremely skilled and could easily control the six horses. Even though there were people coming and going on the street, the carriage did not hit anyone.
"This is... King Wei's bicycle frame!"
Lu Buwei looked at the carriage in shock. These days, only the monarchs of various countries dare to blatantly use a six-carriage. As a Weiguo person, you may not recognize Wei Jun’s bicycle frame, but it’s impossible not to recognize Wei Wang’s bicycle frame!
"The King of Wei actually came to attend King Zhao's wedding in person, and so far in advance!" Prince Zhu's face darkened.
Since the breakdown of the relationship between the three Jin Dynasties during the period of Wei Wuhou, it has not been this good for more than a hundred years.
During the periods of Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou, the Qin State not only lost Hexi, but was also suppressed by the Three Jin Dynasties for nearly a hundred years, and was almost destroyed.
"We must find a way to break the relationship between the three Jins, otherwise our Qin country will have no chance of going east." Prince Zhu clenched his hands into fists.
The eastern overlord Qi State has been deposed, and the Yan State is already weak, and there are still 200,000 prisoners in the hands of the Zhao State, which cannot be reused.
If the Three Jins really become monolithic, even if the four kingdoms of Qin, Chu, Qi and Yan unite, they can only barely suppress it, not to mention that Chu is still on the side of the Three Jins.
"Even if it is a country, there is still a lot of evil. I don't believe that the three countries of Han, Wei and Chu will really follow Zhao with all their heart."
