Chapter 475 Leaving
The castle was frozen, and as far as the eye could see, it was all white.
Wei Zhuang leaned on his sword and looked at the majestic fortress in front of him. However, he did not take a step forward and entered the territory that now belonged to him. Instead, he fell into confusion.
The horses roared behind him, but Wei Zhuang did not look back. Because the man on horseback stopped ten feet away from him.
"Weizhuang!"
A clear voice sounded from behind, still the same as before. Honglian took a few steps forward, wanting to show her kindness, but Wei Zhuang's cold voice came over.
"I'm in a bad mood, you'd better not waste my time."
Honglian was very angry when the person she longed for saw her and said just that.
"Is this the way a courtier would talk to a princess?"
"In this world, titles such as monarch and minister have never been of much use. Otherwise, your ancestors would not have taken over the Jin Dynasty."
Wei Zhuang has always been like this, Hong Lian was choked but couldn't be happy.
"But when I came back this time, I felt a lot different. Many people are saying that you are worse than Ji Wuye. But I don't believe that is the case."
"They're right."
"But why?"
Honglian asked, but the only answer was Wei Zhuang's cold voice.
"It doesn't matter anymore."
"My brother asked me to come back just to persuade my father not to think about joining forces with Zhao. I hope you can help me."
Guren said eagerly with expectation.
Wei Zhuang raised his head and looked at the sky. In the dark sky, heavy snow seemed to be falling.
"Why do you think I will help you?"
Honglian was stunned by Wei Zhuang's words. After a while, she thought of a reason.
"We are all members of Quicksand, so of course I want to ask for your help."
"Today's quicksand has split, and the Wushuang ghost has left."
"Are you having trouble with Zhao Shuang?" Honglian asked tentatively, "Then I will definitely stand on your side."
Wei Zhuang smiled softly, the corners of his mouth curved.
"The general trend of the world has been determined for a long time. South Korea has no national strength to compete with Qin. The King of Han cannot see the situation clearly. He thought that it was more than 20 years ago and that as long as Qin's hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed, he could enjoy ten years of peace. Even We can still get together again and look westward at Han Valley."
"That's why my brother wants me to persuade him."
"If a person is willing to live in a dream, he cannot be awakened. The Qin State of today is no longer the Qin State of the past, but the Six Kingdoms of today are still the Six Kingdoms of the past."
Wei Zhuang pulled out the shark teeth. What surprised Honglian was that he did not enter the Snow Clothes Castle, but instead walked towards Honglian in the opposite direction.
When Honglian happily thought that Wei Zhuang was going to help her, the other party passed her by and continued moving forward.
"Weizhuang, where are you going?"
"leave!"
"Weizhuang, you are the general of South Korea, how can you ignore the safety of South Korea?"
"Not anymore from today on."
Wei Zhuang walked forward slowly, his figure looking very determined. Honglian was a little panicked, fearing that she would never see Wei Zhuang again.
"Where are you going?"
Wei Zhuang's figure walked further and further away, and finally disappeared from Hong Lian's sight.
"Major General."
On the bank of the Zhangshui River and above the Great Wall, Sima Shang came towards him. When he saw Li Zuoche looking at the other side in a daze, he said hello.
"General!"
"This time the Qin army came with a fierce attack, attacking from two sides. However, along the line of the Great Wall, there was only a stronghold of the Qin army, and there was no movement for the time being. The real victory or defeat lies with Lord Wu'an!"
Li Zuoche frowned when he heard this ban.
"What a great Mr. Wu An!"
"I also know that Guo Kai has bad intentions, but there is nothing we can do about it. After all, the title of Wu'an is also a reward from the imperial court."
Li Zuoche turned around and glanced in the direction of Handan.
"In the first year of the reign of King Zhao, there was a severe drought. As a result, Zhao's national power dwindled and people's livelihood suffered from hunger, which has not been relieved to this day. In addition, Qin's successive attacks, hundreds of thousands of troops died on the banks of the Zhangshui River, and the country became increasingly weak. But over there in Handan, it’s still peaceful.”
"The Major General's appointment with an old friend this time doesn't seem to be going well."
Although he didn't know who this old friend was, Li Zuoche's reactions before and after were so different that Sima Shang inevitably had doubts in his heart.
"He's still the same, that hasn't changed. But everything else has changed."
"The world is changing anytime and anywhere. Who could have imagined that Zhao Guoguo would become what it is today?"
Li Zuoche smiled.
"So, I plan to resign."
"What do you plan to do, Major General?"
"Read books, meet the masters of the world, and observe the customs of other countries."
"But where is Mr. Wu An?"
"Grandpa would agree."
Li Zuoche sighed, handed the sword in his hand to Sima Shang, and walked down the Great Wall.
Ghost Valley.
Green pines and strange mountains contrast each other beautifully.
The white crane was nearby, dancing in the stream, but it seemed that he had not noticed the two old men playing chess under the Matsushita at all.
"Old Si Zhao, you lost this game."
Guiguzi sat opposite Zhao Laosi, winning the chess game and talking with a smile.
"A moment of carelessness."
"Don't come here."
The two gathered their chess pieces and continued the next game. Zhao Laosi stood up and said.
"Your apprentice Wei Zhuang seems to have been quite active recently."
"As a disciple of Zongheng and a disciple of Guigu, I have always gone against the trend. It is not surprising that Wei Zhuang is like this."
"It's a pity that the Qin State is no longer the Qin State of the past, and the current King of Qin is not something that the six kings can match."
As soon as Zhao Laosi started the game, he placed his pieces on Tian Yuan.
Gui Guzi frowned, this was quite arrogant. However, Zhao Laosi's subsequent words made Guiguzi fall into deep thought.
"Have you ever thought about it, when the seven kingdoms are reunited, the world will no longer be united and connected, and how will the people of the Guigu disciples, who have been weaving this vertical and horizontal situation for seven hundred years, deal with themselves?"
Guiguzi looked at Zhao Laosi and asked.
"You are also from Guigu Clan, aren't you anxious?"
"But you are the leader!"
Zhao Laosi smiled and seemed not to care.
"Not only us in Guigu, but also any sect and individual in the new world need to learn to adapt and survive. Just like the Yin Yang family and the public losers, they have already been on the side of Qin. The rest may be waiting for a price, Either they don’t want to get involved in the disputes, or they want to sit high on the Diaoyutai, or even worse, they hide in the dark and wait for opportunities to arise.”
"It's just that these have nothing to do with Gui Gu. Everything has an end, and maybe the world will no longer need Gui Gu in the future. However, Gui Gu's way will still be passed on. What's more, this troubled world is far from the end."
Guiguzi landed on the star, and then asked again.
"What about Zhao Shuang? His family fortune is much bigger now than yours back then. As the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind. In the future, his enemies will not necessarily be fewer than they are now."
"You still have to worry about that kid. Don't worry, in this troubled world, he may not be the most powerful, but he must be the one who is easiest to survive."
Zhao Laosi smiled, not worried at all.
"Yes, he is much easier to let go of than Gai Nie Weizhuang."
