Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

When Wei Wuji heard this, he knew that there was such an extraordinary person in Daliang City, so he immediately sent someone with a generous gift to invite Hou Ying to the mansion for a talk.

This is also Wei Wuji's most effective money offensive to win people's hearts.After all, in this Warring States era, when the ethos of laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitutes has begun to show, the money offensive has begun to show that there is no disadvantage.

But what Wei Wuji didn't expect was that when his envoy came to the door with a generous gift, Hou Ying rejected it cleanly.

Hou Ying's original words are as follows: "I have cultivated my body and mind for decades, and I can't accept the son's wealth because of the impoverishment of the prison."

After the messenger reported back to Wei Wuji, the smart Wei Wuji knew that Hou Ying didn't want money, or that Hou Ying wanted more than money.

Hou Ying's subtext is straightforward: "You want me to work hard for you with a few filthy money? Show some respect!"

For a person like Hou Ying, we can call him proud, or we can think he is pretending.

But although Hou Ying made it clear that he wanted to pretend to be aggressive in front of Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji didn't think he was disobedient, but felt happy in his heart.

There is a good saying, if you can't pretend to be coercive, you will be stupid.

Who is Wei Wuji?That is the world-renowned Lord Xinling.Anyone who dares to act like this in front of Wei Wuji must either have real skills, or be a 24K pure fool.

In view of what the disciples said, Wei Wuji felt that this pretentious Hou Ying was definitely a man of real ability.

So Wei Wuji decided to cooperate with Hou Ying, and let Hou Ying force this into a faux pas.

Just two hours ago, after Wei Wuji ordered people to set up a banquet in the mansion, he brought his horses and chariots to pick up Hou Ying in person.

In order to show respect for Hou Ying, Wei Wuji specially gave up the seat on the left side of the carriage.

When Hou Ying saw Wei Wuji coming, he was not polite, straightened his old clothes, got into the car and took a seat, and then said: "I have a guest in the city, I hope you can ride it by."

So Wei Wuji drove the carriage himself and brought Hou Ying to the bustling Daliang City Market.

When Hou Ying came here, he was visiting a butcher named Zhu Hai, an old friend of Hou Ying.

As soon as Hou Ying got off the carriage, they started chatting for an hour.

An hour is equivalent to two hours in later generations, so it can be said that Hou Ying left Xinling Lord Wei Wuji there for two hours, which can be said to be a very pretentious performance.

If it were any nobleman with a slightly more violent temper, then Hou Ying's head would fall before he finished chatting for the day.

But Wei Wuji just held back.

Not only did Wei Wuji hold back, but he was also very calm.

Obviously, people from the whole market came to watch Wei Wuji serve as the driver for Hou Ying, and Wei Wuji's entourage was even more annoyed and wanted to kill Hou Ying, but Wei Wuji didn't look angry at all, so he just waited for two Hour.

After a full hour, Hou Ying finally finished chatting, got into the car with peace of mind and went back home with Wei Wuji for the banquet.

Obviously, Wei Wuji's attitude was quite in place, and Hou Ying was finally satisfied by making Hou Ying pretend to be aggressive in front of everyone.

So on the way back to the mansion, Hou Ying asked, "Does the young master think that Ying is a vulgar and rude person?"

Wei Wuji of course denied: "Mr.'s words are wrong. Wuji knew about Mr. Wuji's ability. I just want to ask Mr. Wuji to help me."

Hou Ying was relieved now, since he had acted well, he had to start acting.

So Hou Ying said to Wei Wuji: "Ying has heard of your son's virtuous name before, and you know that your intelligence is far superior to ordinary people. You can know that what Ying just did is not in the name of Ying, but in the name of your son."

When Wei Wuji heard this, he became very interesting. Is it for my own good that you pretended to be such a big dick in front of me?

It's time to ask.

Wei Wuji said conveniently, "May Mr. teach me."

So Hou Ying said: "Who is Ying? It's just a barbarian holding the gate, and the young master went to the car and rode himself, and greeted Ying in the eyes of everyone. This is the luck that Ying has never had in his life. The old man of Ying has been standing for a long time. In the market, passers-by look at the young master, and the young master is more respectful. Everyone in the city regards Ying as a villain, and the young master is an elder who can be a lowly soldier. Isn't this because Ying is a young master and is famous?"

When Wei Wuji heard this, he was convinced at the time.

It seems that Hou Ying is indeed a capable person. Not only did he pretend to be coercive, but he also gave Wei Wuji the name of a virtuous corporal. It can be said to be mutually beneficial, and everyone wins.

Not only that, Hou Ying also said to Wei Wuji: "Zhu Hai, the butcher I visited, is a sage who is unknown to the world, so he is hidden in the butcher's room. Ying has already told Zhu Hai, and he is willing to accompany the young master from Ying to help him The young master has achieved great success."

Wei Wuji was even happier when he heard that this is still buy one get one free.

So as soon as he returned to the mansion, Wei Wuji regarded Hou Ying as a guest of honor, and had a banquet with Zhao Sheng and Wei Wuji.

But in the final analysis, Wei Wuji invited Hou Ying to solve Zhao Sheng's trouble, so when Zhao Sheng sighed in front of Wei Wuji again, Wei Wuji finally couldn't help asking Hou Ying for advice.

Wei Wuji retreated to the left and right, and there were only three people present. Then he said to Hou Ying: "Mr. Hou, today I want to unite Zhao and resist Qin, but the king wants to unite Qin and destroy Zhao. Maybe you can teach me how to make the king change his mind?"

Chapter 1

Hou Ying seemed to be having a good time drinking.

As a janitor, Hou Ying basically spent most of his life dealing with those people who hang out at the bottom of society, such as Hou Ying's good friend butcher Zhu Hai.

It is precisely because of this that Hou Ying never enjoyed this kind of dinner at Lord Xinling's mansion, which can be regarded as the top enjoyment in the Warring States Period.

In fact, let alone enjoying it, with his former status as Hou Ying, he might not even be qualified to enter this kind of banquet.

But the Warring States era is so magical, as long as you are useful to the lords, then no matter what your previous background is, no matter how rude you are in front of the lords, it doesn't matter.

The point is, you have to be able to help the lords solve their problems.

Hundreds of years of troubled times have long since swept the patriarchal system of the Zhou Dynasty into the dustbin of history, and all countries that still cling to the old Zhou Dynasty have either perished or can only act like the Lu State A shivering lamb in the gap between Qixiong.

In order to be strong, the lords can throw away all the airs and let you pretend to be crazy.

But you have to be useful.

Undoubtedly, Wei Wuji had already given Hou Ying enough face, let Hou Ying pretend to be aggressive enough, stole the limelight, and enjoyed the treatment and respect that Hou Ying had never enjoyed.

There is a saying that goes like this: "You treat me like a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you as a gentleman of the country."

Now is the time for Hou Ying to pay back.

At this moment, Hou Ying's face was full of red light, his beard and cheeks were still stained with a mysterious liquid, whether it was wine or soup. It was obvious that the singer had retired for a while, but Hou Ying was still shaking his head and holding up a dagger. Sitting on the table, humming a chaotic ballad with an incomprehensible melody, he looked completely drunk.

Seeing Hou Ying's appearance, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but muttered in his heart, feeling that his brother-in-law Wei Wuji was somewhat unreliable in handling things this time.

It's really not that Zhao Sheng judges people by appearance, what good idea can such a sloppy old drunkard have?

However, Wei Wuji obviously didn't have the same idea as Zhao Sheng. On the contrary, Wei Wuji seemed to have quite confidence in Hou Ying.

Hou Ying looked really drunk. Wei Wuji had already opened his mouth to question Hou Ying just now, but Hou Ying was still enjoying himself there, showing no sign of sobering up.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng frowned even more. Maybe Hou Ying was already drunk and confused?

Fortunately, when Wei Wuji was about to ask for the second time, Hou Ying's body suddenly shook violently, as if he woke up instantly, and turned his gaze to Wei Wuji.
