Even King Wei Anli did not have the honor to have Lord Xinling Wei Wuji drive to greet him personally.

Seeing Lord Xinling standing beside the carriage holding the bridle, for a moment, there was silence at the city gate.

At this time, Xia Ping'an, in full view of everyone, showed no humility. He lifted up his robe, got directly into the carriage, and sat on the left side of the charioteer.

Lord Xinling also got on the carriage, sat on the right side of Xia Pingan, shook the reins, and drove the carriage back to the house. Lord Xinling's attendant was on the carriage behind, following closely.

"Sir, I have another friend who sells meat in the butcher shop in the market in front. I want to visit him and then have a banquet at your house!" Xia Pingan said to Lord Xinling.

Lord Xinling glanced at Xia Ping'an and smiled slightly, "Is it the Dongshi of Daliang?"

"Well, good, turn left at the intersection ahead!"

Mr. Xinling drove his car and turned left at the intersection ahead. The carriage ran on the road for a while and arrived at the East Market of Daliang City.

This meat selling place is the market place in the city. It is noisy and messy, with small traders and hawkers everywhere. As soon as Mr. Xinling arrived in his car, the whole market was in a sensation, and countless people came out to watch.

Zhu Hai had a pork stall here and was chopping the bones with a knife. Every time he cut the meat, his muscles were shaking wildly.

Xia Ping'an got out of the car and went directly to Zhu Hai's meat stall, chatting with Zhu Hai. However, Lord Xinling was still on the street, standing next to the carriage, holding the bridle and waiting.

"Old man, Mr. Xinling has already driven the car for you..." Zhu Hai changed his mind and raised his head to talk to Xia Pingan, "I still want you to come over for a drink today!"

"Hahaha, I won't drink with you today. I'll drink at Lord Xinling's house!"

"Is the wine at Lord Xinling's house as good as mine?"

"I haven't drunk it, and I don't know either!"

"It's not good for you to go empty-handed like this. You're eating and drinking for free. Why don't you bring a kidney as a greeting gift..." Zhu Hai joked.

"I won't bring it anymore. You can bring it to him next time..." Xia Pingan and Zhu Hai boasted, chatting without a word, and they laughed.

Lord Xinling was watching from a short distance away, with an expression on his face that was always gentle and polite, without the slightest hint of impatience.

Xia Ping'an glanced at Lord Xinling and said to himself, Lord Xinling's magnanimity is really incomparable to other people. If an average person achieves a little bit, his nostrils will point to the sky when he walks, how can he be like Lord Xinling.

Lord Xinling's attitude remained unchanged, but the waiters who followed Lord Xinling looked at Xia Pingan angrily and gritted their teeth.

"My lord, the prime minister, the generals, and the young master are all still at the house waiting for the young master to go back and have a banquet. This old man is so shameless..." A waiter came to Lord Xinling and whispered.

"No problem, let them wait. Today's banquet is prepared for Hou Ying. If he is not here, the banquet will be meaningless. Extraordinary people have extraordinary abilities!" Lord Xinling said calmly.

Lord Xinling waited for a while, and then Xia Ping'an ended his chat with Zhu Hai and came over, "Excuse me for waiting, sir, you can go!"

"Sir, please get in the car!"

Lord Xinling respectfully asked Xia Ping'an to get in the carriage, then drove the carriage back to his house.

…

More than ten minutes later, Xia Pingan followed Lord Xinling to Lord Xinling's house.

As expected, a grand banquet was being held at Lord Xinling's house today. Many princes, nobles, and prominent figures in Daliang City were present at the banquet. Those people had been waiting here for a long time for the banquet to begin. Finally, they saw Lord Xinling leading the banquet. An old man with white hair and a white beard wearing shabby clothes came to the banquet. Lord Xinling actually let the old man sit on the main table next to him. The group of people looked at each other.

"Everyone, the gentleman next to me is Hou Ying, the Yimen Supervisor of Daliang City, and a virtuous and sage in our Wei State..." Lord Xinling introduced Xia Ping'an to everyone at the banquet, while also introducing Xia Ping'an to the banquet.

The big shots introduced him to Xia Pingan.

Xia Pingan was calm and composed at the banquet. He drank wine when he should and ate meat when he should. He was not restrained at all. The dignitaries from all over the country were amazed when they saw this.

After the banquet, Lord Xinling personally sent Xia Pingan away from the house. Xia Pingan said to Lord Xinling, "Thank you for your hospitality today. However, I have done enough for you today. I am a little gatekeeper."

, Young Master came to greet me today. I shouldn’t have visited my friends anymore. I went to visit my friends just to fulfill Young Master’s reputation. Others saw Young Master’s carriages and horses stopping in the market for a long time just for me, a little person. Young Master

If you are courteous and courteous to me, a little person, in public, everyone will know that the young master is generous and treats scholars with courtesy. If the young master recruits talented people again, everyone will be attracted to him and everyone will respond!"

Xinling Lord Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment when he heard what Xia Pingan said. He bowed to Xia Pingan again and thanked him, "I didn't expect Mr. Hou to be so thoughtful. Thank you Mr. Hou for this!"

"Although the Zhu Hai I visited today is a butcher, he is brave and resourceful and is a hero hidden in the market. If you can subdue him, he will definitely be able to help you!"

Lord Xinling thanked him again.

After leaving Lord Xinling's house, Xia Ping'an still worked as his Yimen Supervisor. When he had time, he went to drink with Zhu Hai and a few old brothers. Most of the salary from the position of Yimen Supervisor was used to provide relief to him.

Paoze's family.

Lord Xinling visited Zhu Hai several times, but Zhu Hai remained unmoved and continued to kill pigs and sell meat in the market every day.

Xia Pingan is waiting for the opportunity, secretly preparing, activating the relationship between friends, and looking for someone.

In fact, he did not wait long, but after waiting for less than half a year, what Xia Pingan was waiting for happened - the Qin army defeated Zhao's army in the Battle of Changping, and killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, shocking the world.

Then they marched in to surround Handan, and Zhao was in danger.

Xinlingjun's sister was the wife of Pingyuanjun, the younger brother of King Zhao Huiwen. She sent letters to King Wei and Xinlingjun many times asking for help from Wei.

Under this situation, Wei could not sit back and watch Zhao be destroyed by Qin, so the king of Wei sent General Jin Bi to lead 100,000 Wei troops to rescue Zhao.

But the nonsense happened. The King of Wei was timid and hesitant in doing things. King Qin Zhao knew that after Wei State rescued Zhao State, he directly sent an envoy to Daliang and told King Wei that Qin State would attack Zhao State.

It can be captured in a short time. If the Wei State dares to rescue the Zhao State at this juncture, the Qin Army's next target must be the Wei State.

Upon hearing what the Qin envoy said, the King of Wei peed and quickly sent an envoy to catch up with Jin Bi, asking Jin Bi to lead his army to stop in Yecheng to wait and see the situation.

The State of Zhao was originally waiting for the army of the State of Wei to come to rescue. When he saw that the army of the State of Wei had stopped in Yecheng, Lord Pingyuan became anxious and immediately sent an envoy to Daliang.

…

On that cold and windy evening, Xia Ping'an was at Yimen Gate, watching the second wave of Zhao's envoys, about 70 people, riding horses and driving carts, tired and tired, slowly entering from Yimen Gate.

Beam.

The envoy from Zhao State entered Daliang and stayed at the post hotel. Then, a carriage hurried to Lord Xinling's house.

The envoy from the State of Zhao had just arrived at Lord Pingyuan's house. In less than twenty minutes, a green-skinned man from the city ran up to Xia Pingan and told Xia Pingan the news.

"Uncle Hou, the envoy from Zhao has already gone to Lord Xinling's house!"

"okay, got it!"

Xia Pingan gave the Qingpi some money, and the Qingpi thanked him and left. Then, Xia Pingan left the city gate, bought some wine, and went to Zhu Hai's house.

Zhu Hai was stewing pig's trotters at home, and Xia Ping'an arrived just in time.

While eating pig's trotters and drinking wine, Xia Pingan said to Zhu Hai, "Stop using your butcher's knife. It's time to take out your hammer. If you don't use your hammer, it will rust in the future and there will be no chance."

Use it again!”

Zhu Hai put down the wine bowl, looked at Xia Pingan with bright eyes, and said only one word, "Okay!"

"After dinner, come out with me and kill someone!"

"Who to kill?"

"The person who deserves to be killed!"

"good!"

After the two drank, they left Zhu Hai's house. Xia Pingan took Zhu Hai and left Daliang on horseback in the cold wind.

After searching for several months, Xia Pingan has locked onto that person's traces. Today, it's time to get that person's head.

…

At the same time, at Lord Xinling's house, the envoy of the State of Zhao prostrated himself in front of Lord Xinling. Reader Pingyuan Lord wrote a letter to Lord Xinling in tears, "... Sheng is the reason why he has attached himself to the marriage, and because of the high righteousness of the son, he is able to do so."

We are worried about people's distress. Today, Handan is surrendering to Qin at dusk but Wei can't rescue them. How can I be anxious for you, the young master? Even if the young master wins lightly, he abandons her and surrenders to Qin. How can I not pity my sister Xie?"

Lord Xinling looked at Lord Pingyuan's envoy with shame on his face, and sighed, "It's not that I can't save him, but it's that I can't convince the king. In the past month or so, I have gone to the palace to see the king several times. Chen Qi is amazing.

Your Majesty doesn’t listen, fearing Qin’s revenge, and now your Majesty won’t see me anymore!”

"If the young master cannot save the State of Zhao, who in the world can save the State of Zhao!" Zhao's envoy laughed miserably, "Can the young master just bear to see the State of Zhao and the young master's sister sink under the iron cavalry of the Qin State?"

After hearing the words of Zhao's envoy, Lord Xinling said generously, "Although I can't convince the king, I will never sit back and watch Zhao die. I swear to fight Qin to the end. The Yecheng army will not move. I am willing to lead

My disciple, the dead man, went to Handan to rescue Zhao, and fought to the death with the Qin army, even if his body was broken to pieces!"

Unexpectedly, Lord Xinling could be so righteous and righteous. The envoys from the State of Zhao even cried and bowed down again. "Jun Xinling is so righteous and righteous. I am willing to lead the way to Handan with Lord Xinling."

The reason why Lord Xinling wanted to bring his retainers and dead men to rescue Zhao was by no means a whim, but because he was desperate for King Wei. There was no other way. King Wei was afraid of Qin and was frightened, so he ordered the army not to move. Now

The whole world is looking at Wei, and the whole Wei is looking at him, Lord Xinling. If he doesn't save Zhao, or whether Wei can be alone after Qin destroys Zhao, and if he can survive for a few days, he will now become the laughing stock of the world.

, a person who can't even save his own sister, how can he be righteous and what is his reputation?

That night, the house of Lord Xinling was not peaceful, and the sound of horses neighing could be heard at any time.

The next day, early in the morning, hundreds of chariots and cavalry drove out from Lord Xinling's mansion. The men on horseback, carrying bows and armor, looked heroic.

When the Wei army did not move, Lord Xinling personally took these retainers and dead soldiers to Handan to rescue Zhao, and faced the tiger and wolf troops of Qin alone.

When Lord Xinling left the Yi Gate with his retainers, he happened to see Xia Pingan, stamping his feet at the city gate and breathing in the air to warm his hands.

Mr. Xinling dismounted and said goodbye to Xia Pingan, "Mr. Hou, I am going to rescue Zhao. I am afraid I will never come back. I came here to say goodbye to Mr. Hou!"

Xia Pingan smiled slightly and said, "Young master, please work hard. I'm old and can't bear the trouble anymore, so I won't go!"

Lord Xinling forced a smile, mounted his horse again, and left with the others.

Halfway through the walk, Lord Xinling felt more and more unhappy as he walked. He felt uncomfortable and felt like something was missing. Lord Xinling thought to himself, My courtesy to Hou Ying is known to all the world. Today I went to the Kingdom of Zhao to die. What will happen to Hou Ying then?

There wasn’t even a single compliment. Could it be that I did something wrong?
To be continued...
