In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 345
Xianyang.

The Wei River flows eastward.

The water pavilion by the river, surrounded by green trees, looks more and more quiet in the cold winter wind.

A fresh fish was caught from the river and quickly sent to the kitchen to be cooked by the best cooks here.

Lu Buwei sat alone, with a place in front of him, but the guards who followed him didn't know, who was this for?
The cold wind cannot blow into this exquisite water pavilion, but you can enjoy the river view in it.

The charcoal fire was emitting light smoke, and the bronze heater was emitting heat, filling every corner.

"Xiangbang, here comes the fish."

The chef of this water pavilion has the same attitude towards Lu Buwei as before, without any change.

Lu Buwei nodded, but didn't move his chopsticks.

The cook frowned slightly, a little confused.

"Xiangbang, this fish doesn't taste good when it's cold."

Lu Buwei didn't care, he just poured himself a glass of wine.

"It's okay, I'm waiting for the guests."

The cook responded, a little strange, who dares to make Lu Buwei wait with such a big score?

Even though he felt strange, the cook didn't continue to wait, but returned to the kitchen and continued to prepare the rest of the dishes.

Lu Buwei seemed to be very interested in drinking wine.Until, with a thud, a shadow fell from the tree.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

A large number of guards gathered in the past, but then, there was a second, and a third figure fell from the trees outside the waterside pavilion.

Lu Buwei waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to retreat.Soon, the person he was waiting for appeared in front of him.

"In such a season, Xiangbang is still so interested?"

Wei Zhuang appeared in the room, looking at the old man in front of him with complicated eyes.

"You found some good men."

Lu Buwei smiled, waved his hand, and signaled Wei Zhuang to sit down.

"The people in Luowang and Lord Changping's subordinates are all staring at Xiangbang, but Xiangbang's interest is unexpectedly good. Wei Zhuang really admires it at this time!"

"These are the people I put in place for you. If you can't work it out, there's no point in having this conversation."

Wei Zhuang's face was serious, facing the person in front of him, he was cautious when facing a strong enemy.

"Then does Xiangbang know why I came here?"

Lu Buwei stroked his beard, his complexion a bit complicated.

"When you followed him back then, the old man was actually very puzzled. But now, I understand a little bit. The old man holds huge power in his hands, but he was helplessly defeated amidst the crowd's siege."

"As long as time goes by, the strength that followed the old man in the past will leave little by little. Until, I have nothing."

Wei Zhuang remained silent, even as a strategist, he didn't know how to speak to the frustrated old man.

"As for Zhao Shuang's request, I can agree."

Wei Zhuang was surprised.

"Xiangbang knows what he wants?"

Lu Buwei stroked his beard lightly and smiled.

"I'm leaving. It's useless to keep the property in this pass, and it's okay to give it to him."

Speaking of this, Lu Buwei's disappointment was swept away, replaced by a sense of striving for strength.

"Back then, the old man entered the Qin Dynasty alone, full of vigor and high spirits; but now that he is about to leave, he is very depressed. However, the old man is not convinced."

Wei Zhuang looked at Lu Buwei and asked softly.

"What does Xiangbang want?"

"Zhao Shuang is indeed powerful! However, in contrast, the old man is not afraid. He is also confident that he will not lose when compared with him. However, he has adopted the tactic of fighting without fighting."

Zhao Shuang didn't walk in the front like Mr. Changping, and confronted Lu Buwei.In fact, he hid behind and seemed not to have participated in the tense battles in the Xianyang court during this time.However, the influence behind the scenes is huge.

But this kind of trick hits the vital point.

"He dug the hole, and he is the one who is going to rescue me now. Thinking about it, the old man felt angry in vain. He wished he could gather all his troops and fight against him. It would be a shame. But the old man also knew that this was impossible."

Lu Buwei shook his head, others didn't know, but he knew how bad Zhao Shuang was.But in the end, Lu Buwei sighed.

"That's all! The reason why the old man is here to see you, I still have a doubt in my heart. Why did you leave in the first place?"

Wei Zhuang raised his head, feeling a little surprised.

"Isn't it normal to leave a ship that is about to break?"

Lu Buwei poured himself a glass of wine, but he didn't take it seriously.

"Ordinary people may be like this, but you are Wei Zhuang."

Wei Zhuang never thought that Lu Buwei knew him so well.

"Because he is Zhao Shuang!"

A simple answer made Lu Buwei, who was pouring wine, stop what he was doing and looked at Wei Zhuang.

"I thought I knew you very well, but actually I don't know enough. You and Gai Nie seem to be completely different, but I thought you were the same kind of person. But now I find that you are still different."

Lu Buwei's eyes were very clear, as if he could see everything clearly.But Wei Zhuang didn't understand the deep meaning of it.

For the first time, Lu Buwei also poured Wei Zhuang a glass of wine, looking very happy.

"The old man understands that after withdrawing from Xianyang, it seems to be a way out, but the time left for the old man is not much."

Lu Buwei drank a glass of wine, stood up slowly, and looked at the distant scenery.

"The future doesn't belong to an old man like me after all."

Wei Zhuang looked at the glass of wine in front of him, but he didn't drink it.He stood up and left without a word.

After a long time, Lu Buwei turned around and looked at the wine baron who was full of wine, with a slight smile on his face.

"Zhao Shuang, the old man lost, but you may not win."

Huayang Palace.

"Wei Zhuang and Lu Buwei?"

In front of the Empress Dowager Huayang, stood the chef in the water pavilion during the day.

"What did they say?"

"Wei Zhuang's murderous intent is very strong, and his vigilance is also very high. His subordinates dare not move forward. But at the end, when Wei Zhuang left, I heard Zhao Shuang's name."

The Empress Dowager Huayang thought for a moment, seemed to understand a little, and waved her hand.

"Go down!"

The palace was empty, and with the sound of footsteps going away, only the Empress Dowager Huayang sighed slightly.

"Has Lu Buwei admitted defeat?"

Former allies and enemies, when he conceded defeat, the former old opponent, the Empress Dowager Huayang, was very complicated.

One era is over, and another is coming.

In this coming era, there are too many things that the Empress Dowager Huayang cannot grasp.She is from Chu and the daughter-in-law of Qin.

For a long time, the conflicts brought about by the dual identities were put aside with the peace talks between Qin and Chu.But as King Qin grew up, Empress Dowager Huayang knew how powerful this young king was, and he would eventually lead the times to a new direction.

And all this, the Empress Dowager Huayang is actually unwilling to face it.

She sighed slightly, as if recalling the glory of the past, and lamenting the splendor of today.

"Zhao Shuang? Good trick!"
