Chapter 344 Ambition
The long night is hard to dissipate, and the cold air fills every corner.

Wei Zhuang leaned on the sword in one hand, watching a battle that almost had no suspense in the mountains.

A group of giant bandits hovering in the Erniu Mountain almost lost all the important military sites under the attack of the giants of the Zhu Rong tribe.

Those three-foot-tall giants with long black knives were invincible.The weapons in the hands of those giant bandits can hardly hurt them.

More than 20 giants riding long-tailed giants charged forward, and the somewhat palpitating roar of their mounts was enough to scare away all the enemies standing in front of them.

Among the two or three hundred giants, a few held huge bows and arrows, and the arrows they fired were more powerful than ballistas. One arrow pierced through the fragile walls of the simple camp, creating huge holes one after another... …

Wei Zhuang withdrew his gaze and looked up at the sky, the night was very gloomy.

After Wei Zhuang received Zhao Shuang's order, he quickly came from South Korea with Niu Liusha. After solving the Xuanzang tribe, he stayed in Zhao Shuang's fief and observed for a while.

When judging the effectiveness of a local governance, the standards of various schools of thought are not exactly the same. For example, Legalism and Confucianism are completely different in some respects.Confucianism emphasizes 'teaching', while Legalism emphasizes 'law'. They have different emphases and look at one thing completely differently.

As a strategist, Wei Zhuang absorbed the experience of his predecessors, but he didn't stick to it. He liked to look at people's eyes.

From the eyes of the people in a territory, Wei Zhuang can see a lot.

Zhao Shuang migrated to this territory with 20 people, but there was no trace of complaint in the eyes of his people, and there was no resentment in the eyes of the original local residents and even some barbarians around.

On the contrary, in just half a year, this area has shown a thriving scene.It was originally an empty and unused land, but gardens, fields, houses, etc. appeared.All the people lived here, and even if they committed crimes, they were quickly dealt with by the criminals.

It's not easy, at least in Wei Zhuang's view, that's how it is.

He has been in South Korea for a long time, and he has seen a lot of nasty things, and he is also used to seeing the darkness hidden under the palace of prosperity.It's just that here, from top to bottom, there is no familiar feeling of Wei Zhuang.

Even though he has cooperated with Zhao Shuang for a long time and even served as the leader in the quicksand created by him, the trace of rivalry in Wei Zhuang's heart has never faded away.This is the instinct of being a disciple of Guigu, even though Zhao Shuang has never really entered Guigu's sect.

"Ah!"

There was a sneeze sound behind him, Wei Zhuang turned his head and saw Zhao Shuang walking over lazily.

"I said Ah Zhuang, we have to meet in this cold weather, why don't you go to my house, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Shuang's complaint was still so familiar, Wei Zhuang smiled slightly.

"Has a life of rich clothes and good food make you degenerate?"

"Isn't it good to fall?"

Zhao Shuang didn't care at all, but saw Wei Zhuang pulled out the shark's teeth, turned around, swung a sword, and came straight to his vitals.

The sword intent on Wei Zhuang's body was very pure, Zhao Shuang's eyes opened suddenly, and his figure retreated quickly, avoiding the fatal blow.

"what are you doing?"

After Wei Zhuang struck, he didn't attack, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Your skill tells me that what you said just now is not credible."

Although Wei Zhuang knew that Zhao Shuang could fly a sword with a hundred steps, he didn't care.Because a powerful swordsmanship is not the most important factor to become a master.

Cultivated to the Supreme Realm, it is a simple sword, but it is also extremely powerful.

As for Zhao Shuang in front of him, Wei Zhuang saw his instinctive reaction in the crisis, and he had a basic understanding in his heart.

"I really convinced you. Is there anyone who tried this? If I didn't dodge just now and got hurt, wouldn't you feel guilty?"

Wei Zhuang rolled his eyes, and with the shark's teeth sheathed, his gaze shifted to the battle in the mountains that was coming to an end.

"As one of the masters of Quicksand, if you can't even dodge that sword, there is no need for me to continue to cooperate."

Wei Zhuang said very arrogantly, and then asked again.

"I have already solved the remaining troubles for Zi Nu. However, I'm afraid that's not why you brought me here, right?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Shuang smiled and walked up, side by side with Wei Zhuang.Although the wind was strong, the sky was very cold, and there was constant whistling in his ears, Wei Zhuang, who was wearing a big cloak, did not lose his demeanor.

"You must have already guessed it."

"Lu Buwei?"

Wei Zhuang whispered softly.In the past, he was under Lu Buwei's command and benefited a lot.But today's Lu Buwei is not as good as before, and there are many crises around him.In the state of Qin, many people wanted to kill him.

Even though the power in Lu Buwei's hands is still strong now, he is moving towards the opposite of the entire Qin State.

Wei Zhuang looked at Zhao Shuang. He knew that Zhao Shuang was the leader of the family, and he was born against Lu Buwei.

"You want to put him to death?"

"No, I want to help him."

A smile appeared on Wei Zhuang's face. The answer was beyond his expectation, but it was interesting enough.

"I finally understand the reason why you lured Han Fei to Qin. It's just that if you let him win over Ke Qing, once you gain power, it will definitely reduce your power."

"On the balance of power, balance is more important than gains and losses. Sometimes it seems to be reducing power, but it is actually preserving more power."

Wei Zhuang smiled and seemed to understand what Zhao Shuang meant.

"So you want to help Lu Buwei?"

"If the situation continues to develop, and when the power around him is pulled away little by little, then Lord Changping will kill Lu Buwei. Now Lu Buwei may feel it too, but he has nothing to do."

Zhao Shuang glanced at Wei Zhuang, but the smile on his face was deeper.

"I heard that the clans within the Qin State were planning a conspiracy to eliminate Ke Qing, but the leaders suddenly stopped. It must be your handwriting!"

"It's normal to want to obtain an official position. But if you are stupid enough to completely abolish the Keqing system formed in the entire Qin State since Shang Jun, that is courting death."

"It's really stupid!" Wei Zhuang glanced at Zhao Shuang, "In the eyes of those aristocratic families, their enemy is Lu Buwei; as long as Lu Buwei falls, then the next thing will follow. But in this way, the court will To tear it apart is not good for the whole Qin country."

After a pause, a snowflake dripped onto his forehead, Wei Zhuang looked at the dark sky and asked.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Lu Buwei wants to retire, so he can only take advantage of this moment. I want you to meet him. If he is willing to retire, I am willing to help."

"Then what's the price?"

"He has all the assets in Guanzhong."

There was a trace of imperceptible loneliness on Wei Zhuang's face.

"Is that all it is?"

Zhao Shuang was a little surprised and glanced at Wei Zhuang.He seems to have been expecting Zhao Shuang to have greater ambitions.It's just that I can't find it all the time.

"I'll help you convey it."

After a long time, Wei Zhuang said softly.
