Chapter 708 Let's not talk about two things

Even if Wei Zhen is brave enough to give him ambition, he doesn't have the courage to tell his father Wei Zi that he has now become an honorary resident of Crouching Tiger City, otherwise he would have lost his skin if he was not beaten to death. (_《》)

Even if he really beat his son half to death to vent his anger, Wei Zi would not dare to tell Cao Cao about Wei Zhen's secretly signing a contract with Jin State. Otherwise, with Cao Cao's suspicious personality, he would be afraid that the Wei family would disappear in Yanzhou in a short time.

Holding several contracts in his hand, Wei Zhen's heart was intertwined at this moment, and he didn't know where the future would be.

The master who had been following Wei Zhen for many years whispered: "Young Master actually doesn't have to be so lost. This matter seems dangerous, so it's not a good thing. As long as the young master can get the help of King Pingxi in the future, let alone obtain the position of head of the family, even if he brings the Wei family to a more prominent level, it is not impossible!"

Wei Zhen smiled bitterly and said in confusion: "The court is really willing to watch Zhao Guochang call for the wind and rain in the Western Regions and occupy another huge territory?"

The master said with a certainty: "It is definitely a foregone conclusion that Zhao Xing was named King of Pingxi this time. If the court does not agree, it is afraid that more than 30,000 imperial guards detained in Diaoyin City, more than 10,000 northern troops detained in Linfen, and nearly 30,000 southern troops besieged in Taocheng, would be captured by Jin State to the north to be a coolie. The court could not afford so many regular troops, let alone give Zhao Guochang a King of Pingxi, and the court actually did not suffer any losses."

Wei Zhen sighed and said with some distress: "In this way, if you want to escape from Zhao Guochang's control in the future, it will be impossible."

The master comforted Wei Zhen and said, "Young Master might as well think about this issue with a different identity. Many people in the world want to attract Zhao Xing's attention but cannot. If the young master was not the eldest son of the Wei family, I am afraid there would not be such an opportunity this time!"

Wei Zhen then stopped talking and waited for the arrival of Zhao Xing's entrustment ceremony in Yingbinyuan. In fact, he no longer worried about the negotiations. What he is worried about now is how to lie to his father and Cao Cao after returning to Yanzhou, and how he transferred Zhao Xing with his three-inch tongue and successfully completed the mission on this mission.

While Wei Zhen was waiting, Zhao Xing, who was about to be named King of Pingxi, was not idle. He sent Li Ru to "invitation" Lu Su, who was wandering around Jin State, to return to Wohu City, and received Lu Su with extremely grand etiquette.

If it was said that if Wei Zhen was fooled by Zhao Xing and five others a few days ago, then this time, the wise Lu Su, the Jin State side was equivalent to forming a team.

From the beginning of arranging residences for the envoys of each state, Lu Su from the Eastern Wu was particularly taken care of. Jin State not only arranged for him to live in the No. 2 Villa next to Huang Wan, but also arranged for some important figures of the Soochow Merchant Group to live in the No. 18 Villa.

Subsequently, all walks of life in Jin State gave the green light to the merchant groups from Dongwu all the way, not only allowing the merchant members to visit some less sensitive workshops, but also sent people to accompany and explain throughout the city. Such treatment is simply difficult for other states to obtain.

Lu Su was very wary of Zhao Xing and Jin's unusual enthusiasm this time, because it was obvious that Eastern Wu had a desire for Jin, but Zhao Xing turned his body down and approached him this time. As the saying goes, "If something is abnormal, there will be monsters." The more enthusiastic Zhao Xing and Jin were towards Lu Su, the more he felt unsure. So he simply took advantage of Zhao Xing's title and left Wohu City to visit various places in Shangdang before Zhao Xing was granted.

Lu Su said he was going out for a tour, but in fact he was still investigating the internal political and management model of Jin State and learning the advanced agricultural, animal husbandry and fishery production and operation model of Jin State. With Lu Su's political talent and mind, as long as he carefully ponders it, he can always find some tricks.

Although I don’t know why Lu Su likes to wander around every time he comes to Jin State, Zhao Xing still felt that something was wrong with letting him wander around in Jin State, so he quickly invited Lu Su from under the city of Guyuan in the name of a banquet for the Eastern Wu merchant group.

In the next few days, Lu Su had to face the enthusiastic and revolving banquets from all walks of life in Jin State. Basically, it was a banquet at noon and another banquet at night. All kinds of fine wines only made Lu Su dizzy and almost fled.

Lu Su, who had wanted to keep calm and came to see him after Zhao Xing was appointed as the king, could not stand it anymore and had to have someone prepare gifts and come to see Zhao Xing with the help of his teeth.

After entering Zhao's Mansion, Lu Su found that after seeing him, the people in the mansion were obviously much more enthusiastic than last time, as if they were like a family. Even the door leading the way in front seemed to have some connection with the Sun family in Wuzhou in his words.

Lu Su smiled bitterly in his heart because he knew that all this had something to do with the fact that the daughter of Lord Wu, Sun Jian, was now mixed with Zhao Xing's eldest son. Although Sun Ren and Zhao Zhenbang were able to get together was exactly what the civil and military officials of the Eastern Wu expected to see, it was completely different for the Eastern Wu to come to the door to say that the matchmaker and his daughter were trapped by the other boy. To put it bluntly, the initiative now is completely in the Jin side. If Zhao Zhenbang ate it all and refused to admit it, Sun Jian had no place to deal with it.

According to Lu Su's understanding of Zhao Xing, this person will never suffer any loss. He either openly cheats you when he is in power, or secretly digs a pit to bury you. In short, it is not a matter of cheating you. Lu Su doesn't believe that Zhao Xing would have no idea when he learned that his son was with Sun Renmao. Judging from the situation this time, I'm afraid he had already figured out his plan to deal with him.

Zhao Xing, who was shining with sunshine, stood enthusiastically on the steps of the eaves of the hall waiting for Lu Su who came from the front yard. When he saw Lu Su from afar, he shouted: "Mr. Zijing, you are late today! The guests in the hall couldn't wait. Come, come, come, come, wait until you get to sit down and start the meal!"

When Lu Su heard Zhao Xing say he wanted to drink again, his face changed so much that he waved his hand and said, "Master Taifu must not be used. Su just had a little alcohol content and really didn't dare to show his ugly face in front of everyone. I'd give up the banquet."

When Zhao Xing heard Lu Su say this, he showed an exaggerated expression of anger and said loudly: "Oh, how can you give up this? Mr. Zijing is a distinguished guest of our Jin State. This time he represents the Sun Wentai of the Eastern Wu. We must treat it well in terms of emotion and reason!" After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he grabbed Lu Su into the main hall of the banquet without saying a word.

When Lu Su saw the people in the hall, he almost fainted on the spot. It turned out that the guests who attended the banquet recently were representatives of Lu Su and the Eastern Wu Merchant Group in the past few days. Now everyone gathered together and sat in the same place. Whether in terms of scale and momentum, they were far better than the previous few days. Lu Su was only here alone. As long as one person came to toast with a glass of wine, he was afraid that he would fall into the ground on the spot.

Lu Su said to Zhao Xing with a bitter face: "Master Taifu, do you have any requests to me in private and just tell me not to let so many guests come to drink me today. I really can't stand it!"

Zhao Xing said with a righteous look: "Don't worry, our family will not speak two people. Today, we will not let everyone drink your wine. We can drink as much as you can!"
