Daqin: At the beginning, he was ordered to serve the beautiful queen mother

When Lao Ai heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me that my son-in-law should keep a low profile as much as possible. When he returns to Yongcheng and takes Tan'er home, he will just do it in a silent voice and will not spread it to the outside world."

"Ha ha ha ha......."

Lai Ai's words were not shy, which naturally caused everyone to burst into laughter. As for Lai Ai's "big name" and the reputation of being greedy for beauty, everyone has long known about it, and they often use it as a source of discussion in private .

Lai Ai's grandstanding, even Ying Zheng thought it was a bit too much, let alone Lu Buwei?

Lu Buwei is well versed in the way of solidarity and kindness, and when dealing with political affairs, he is also relaxed, showing both kindness and power. On weekdays in the court, he often makes a few harmless jokes about some ministers and ministers, enlivening the atmosphere and attracting a lot of civil servants Laugh heartily.

But at this moment, everyone's uncontrollable laughter was heard in Lu Buwei's big ears, but it was so harsh and humiliating.

Lu Buwei's old face turned livid, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the general is so obsessed with the love of men and women, why don't you just go back to the mansion, and you don't have to come back in the future, and try to have more children."

Hearing this, Lao Ai sneered, and said disdainfully: "If it wasn't for something, who would come here to stare at you, a bad old man?"

A cold light flashed in Lu Buwei's eyes, and he said majesticly: "Since you are so unwilling, please leave."

Facing his power, Lai Ai naturally didn't take it seriously at all, instead he sneered and said, "Whether the general is going or staying, it's your turn to tell me what to do?"

As soon as Lai Ai's words fell, a guest said: "Since the general doesn't care for fame and wealth, and doesn't bother to be with us, why do you stay here longer? Wouldn't you be reduced to inconsistency and hypocrisy?"

Seeing his contemptuous look, Lao Ai knew that he was from Lu Buwei, and immediately asked inexplicably: "Which dog is not optimistic and is barking here?"

"you!"

That Keqing was a servant of the censor, and when he heard what Lai Ai said, his fat face turned red immediately, his eyes were about to burst, and he pointed at Lai Ai and said angrily, "How can the general be so vulgar and arrogant that he is in the courtroom?" Come on, uttering obscenities and insulting the old man, it is really..."

"To shut up!"

Before he could continue to speak with righteous indignation, Lai Ai suddenly gave a cold shout, which startled everyone in the court, and then looked at the censor coldly, and a cold light suddenly shot out in his eyes.

The censor staggered twice as if he had been hit hard, then knelt down on the ground with a common sound.

His glance was something ordinary people couldn't resist, if it wasn't for Lai Ai's mercy, I'm afraid that the attendant Yushi would have suffered a cardiac arrest on the spot.

But he knelt down in front of Lai Ai inexplicably, which still surprised all the civil and military personnel.Especially when Lu Buwei saw that Lai Ai had such an aura of contempt, he couldn't help but secretly startled.

Lai Ai's fame in the Jianghu, although all of you here are in the court and far away from the Jianghu, you have heard of it.

We all know that he is the world's top master.

Lu Buwei looked at Lao Ai coldly, he had been in a high position for a long time, and his aura was naturally awe-inspiring, he said indifferently: "Hehe, the general is so majestic."

If it was someone else, they would have been so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe. Lai Ai was not afraid of him at all, and retorted: "Hey, how can you have the prestige of Mr. Xiangbang?"

Seeing the two facing each other tit for tat, Ying Zheng on the high platform didn't show any expression. He just watched leisurely, as if he had nothing to do with him. As for what he was thinking or what he was planning, no one knew.

But seeing the silence in the main hall, he finally interrupted: "Okay, don't back down, the court hall is noisy, what's the proper way?"

Hearing this, Lai Ai was very considerate, and immediately stood up obediently. Lu Buwei glanced at Lai Ai indifferently, and sat back in his seat again.

Seeing this, the servant censor naturally didn't dare to say anything more, and returned to the crowd in despair.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Lao Ai, and asked with a smile, "The general came to Zhangtai Palace suddenly, what's the matter?"

Lai Ai cupped her hands and said: "Going back to the Queen Mother, I heard that Da Qin is going to send troops to defend the country, so I came here specially to ask for an order to lead the troops."

Ying Zheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and frowned, "You want to lead the army to attack?"

Lai Ai nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the kindness that the Queen Mother treats your ministers is as great as a mountain. Lai Ai thinks about it every time, and is grateful in her heart. Therefore, she is willing to lead the sharp soldiers of the Great Qin to expand the territory of the Great Qin and wipe out the Wei Kingdom."

Ying Zheng said: "The general is commendable for his loyalty, but after all, you still want to organize the cavalry of the Great Qin, so how can you attack Weiguo again?"

Ying Zheng naturally knew the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield, and he didn't want Lai Ai to take risks before the cavalry was completed.

Lao Ai shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, the minister has already made arrangements, and it's just a mere defense of the country, it won't take long.

As for the establishment of the cavalry, whether it is the selection of horses and cavalry, or the building of ordnance, it will take one or two months of preparation time, and there will be no delay. "

"Ha ha,"

Hearing this, Lu Buwei smiled lightly, and then said: "The general is indeed loyal, but how can I hear the truth? The general has a lover in the state of Wei, and she is the granddaughter of the famous general of the state of Wei, Gongsun Yu. Absolutely beautiful, can be called the most beautiful woman in the world, the most beautiful woman in the world."

"The general didn't care about military affairs. He suddenly wanted to lead the army. Could it be because of the beauty?"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole room was instantly filled with laughter, and even Ying Zheng looked surprised, and secretly said that it was so.

Everyone knows Lai Ai's usual disposition, so it is naturally more credible and more convincing.

Lai Ai didn't take it seriously, and said with a smirk: "Xiangbang really cares about my affairs, and the love between children who has never left a word, understands so clearly."

Then he sneered and said: "It seems that in the whole Xianyang City, there is probably no Xiangbang who doesn't know about it."

When Lu Buwei heard this, a slight chill flashed in the depths of his eyes. Lai Ai's words were obviously an opportunity to put eye drops on himself, making Ying Zheng more suspicious of him and resisting him.

Immediately, he said calmly: "The general is over-reputed. You are the son-in-law of the real minister. As a parent and elder, I should worry more about your affairs."

Lao Ai rolled her eyes and said coldly, "Thank you."

Just kidding, if you marry a woman whose parents are your own parents and elders, then there will not be tens of thousands of parents and elders in the future?

You can create a number and directly compile it into an army......

"In addition, Mr. Xiangbang, public is public and private is private. I am willing to go to defend the country. The primary purpose is naturally to make contributions to the Great Qin. As for the love between children, it is just a matter of convenience."

Lu Buwei chuckled, and said lightly: "Whether you are public or private, although you are talented in both civil and military affairs, you have no experience in leading troops in war. I will never hand over one hundred thousand elite soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty to someone who does not know how to lead troops. hands."

When Lao Ai heard the words, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she asked, "Then who does Xiangbang plan to let go?"

Lu Buwei's hand fell on his big belly unconsciously, rubbing his belly, and said with a smile: "Of course it's Shangqing Mengao."

Lai Ai shrugged helplessly, and said: "General Meng Ao is a well-known general in the world, if you want to send him, I will not dare to snatch him."

He said with a sneer: "However, it is up to the king to decide this matter. What they say will count."

Lu Buwei nodded slightly, looked at Qin Wangzheng and said, "Wars are not big or small, and they are all important matters. It must not be a joke. I suggest sending Shangqing Mengao to defend the country."

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment. He also wanted Lai Ai to go to war in his heart. The purpose, of course, was to consider that he was not as amazing as a leader in battle. He wanted him to go to the battlefield to experience it, so that he could better study cavalry tactics and train cavalry. cavalry.

After all, the State of Wei is only a vassal state, and its national strength and military strength cannot be compared with that of Qin State.

And they also decided to take the opportunity to take down Wei after receiving the news that King Wei was dead.

In the previous war between Qin and Wei, the state of Wei was defeated and suffered heavy losses. The soldiers of Wei were almost wiped out.

If Lord Longyang hadn't come to ask for peace, and Lu Buwei agreed, Ying Zheng would have wanted to destroy Wei directly.

Now the Wei State has no time to take care of itself, and has no worries about attacking and defending. It can be said that this battle must be won.

Similarly, it is naturally perfect for Lao Ai to gain battlefield experience.

"General Meng Ao has made great military exploits, and I think that General Meng is the most suitable for this expedition to defend the country.

However, although General Meng Ao made great achievements in defeating Wei, he is already old after all, and he must have been exhausted after going on the expedition for half a year, and he has only recuperated for less than a month. "

Although old, but still majestic Meng Ao heard the words, immediately came out and knelt down and said: "Thank you for your compassion, the final general is in good health. I am willing to continue to expand the territory and make contributions for the Great Qin."

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lao Ai and said, "The old general has fought for our Great Qin for decades, he is the pillar of our Great Qin, and since he has great ambitions, let the old general lead the army to attack the guards.

In addition, the general Lai Ai was very wise and brave, so the widow ordered him to go out with General Meng Ao to watch and learn from General Meng's way of leading the army, and to assist General Meng to wipe out the Weiguo. "

"What does General Lao think?"

When Lai Ai heard this, she was naturally overjoyed.

From the very beginning, he just wanted such an opportunity to go out with the army, leave Xianyang, and when Meng Ao attacked Weiguo, he took the opportunity to rescue Gongsun Liji and Gongsun Yu.

It is best to persuade Gongsun Yu to surrender, and to surrender without fighting.

In this way, not only can meritorious deeds be achieved, but also Gongsun Yu can be preserved. In this way, Gongsun Liji and herself will have no national hatred and family hatred, and there will be no obstacles to marrying herself.

"Well, I was ordered to build a cavalry to build an iron cavalry for the Great Qin, but I have never experienced in the battlefield, and I have never seen the two armies confront each other.

If you rely on imagination to train cavalry in this way, it is tantamount to Zhao Kuo talking about soldiers on paper at the beginning. "

As he spoke, he said earnestly: "If you don't experience bloody battles, you are not worthy of being a general. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely learn from old General Meng how to lead troops against the enemy."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly, thinking of the phrase that Lao Ai said just now, "If you don't experience blood on the battlefield, you are not worthy of being a general", he couldn't help but secretly nodded in agreement.

..........

After the court meeting was over, Lao Ai left Zhangtai Palace, drank for a while in a roadside tavern, but suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"My subordinate Li Si pays his respects to the general."

In Xianyang City, in the Liuxiang Pavilion, Lao Ai looked at the middle-aged man in his 30s, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes:

"Master Li Si, you are welcome. You and I are old acquaintances. We haven't seen each other for several months. Could it be that Mr. Li Si forgets things so much that he doesn't remember me?"

After speaking, he gestured to the opposite seat with his hand. After Li Si sat down, he poured a glass of wine for him and asked with a smile:

"Master Li Si was already famous when he was in Jixia Academy, and this general has also admired him for a long time."

As he spoke, he held the wine glass and cupped his hands, then drank the wine in the glass and said with a smile:

"I know that Lord Li Si has the ability to assist the emperor, and he also has great ambitions. It's a pity that the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty is Lu Buwei, so it's inevitable that his talent will not be appreciated."

Li Si also raised his glass to drink, and after hearing the meaning of Lai Ai's words, he immediately said: "Lu Xiangwen's military strategy is universally admired, and for Daqin, he has made outstanding achievements, and Li Si also admires him."

The corners of Lai Ai's lips raised slightly. Of course, he knew what Li Si was thinking, and immediately smiled lightly and said, "That's why it's a pity for such a great talent like Brother Si."

"Speaking of which, it is said that there are great talents gathered in Jixia Academy, among which Master Li Si and Mr. Han Fei are the most famous and talented. Mr. Li Si came to Qin, where is the legendary Mr. Han Fei? "

In his memory, Han Fei came to Qin before Li Si came to China, but Lao Ai had met Li Si in Xianyang, but never met Han Fei in Xinzheng.

Therefore, Lai Ai was a little confused, wondering if it was because of her arrival that some things were brought forward or changed.

"Yu Zeng lived in Xinzheng for several months, and I heard that he has been studying but has not returned."

Hearing this, Li Si frowned, took a deep look at Lao Ai, and continued:

"Brother Han Fei's talent is far superior to that of Li Si. When I left Jixia Academy, Brother Han Fei was still quietly studying under Master Xun."

Lai Ai nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Li Si is a guest, and he is by your side, waiting for inquiries. I don't know why you came to see this general today?"

Li Si chuckled, and said lightly: "I didn't ask for anything, I wanted to drink and have fun here, but I just happened to meet the general."

Lai Ai smiled noncommittally: "This clever word is really wonderful."

Said, Lai Ai poured a glass of wine on her own, raised her head and drank it down, then leaned on the low soft bed, said lightly:

"Hehe, Lao always likes to go straight to the point, and doesn't like to beat around the bush. Speaking of which, everyone in Xianyang knows about the feud between Lao and Xiangbang.

Mr. Li Si has great talent and ambition, and he is not willing to live under others for a long time. "

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. There is no conflict of interest between you and me. From your point of view, Lai does not aspire to power and is the best partner for cooperation. Since Mr. Li Si came to find Lai, why not?" be honest and open?"

Li Si said indifferently: "Although what the general said is good, but I did misunderstand it. After coming down here, I really just met the general by chance."

Lai Ai drank wine casually, and said with a half-smile: "If you meet by chance, let's meet by chance. Anyway, General Ben has already told Master Li Si."

"I believe that Mr. Li Si already has a choice and an answer in his heart."

After talking, Lai Ai stopped talking and got up to leave.

He came to Xianyang City today, and he didn't intend to go back. He wanted to go to Han Ni's place in the evening to chat about life. On a lonely cold night, he would talk to this pretty widow to relieve his boredom.

But it's only noon now, so it's time to go to the brothel for dinner.

Lai Ai knew Li Si quite well, so it didn't matter whether she had intentions or met him by chance.

The important thing is that he believes that Li Si will definitely stand by his side.

that's enough.

Above the restaurant, Li Si got up and came to the window, watching Lao Ai's figure slowly leaving, his eyes narrowed slightly.

To this day, he still can't believe it. In just a few months, the other party has grown from a wandering hooligan.

Has grown into an upstart in Xianyang, and is named a general, which really makes people feel incredible.

Walking halfway, Lao Ai suddenly remembered Meng's house, so she decided to visit and make friends with Meng Tian and Meng Yi by the way.

The Meng family is a family of military generals, the tiger father has no dogs and sons, and has a very high status in Xianyang. Even Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei have to be courteous. If they can make friends with them, it is naturally a perfect fit.

Montgomery;

Regarding the arrival of Lai Ai, the whole Meng family seemed to attach great importance to it. The four members of the Meng family, Meng Ao, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Yi all came out to greet her without saying a word, and their words were extremely polite.

Lao Ai originally thought that the generals who were born in families like Meng Ao and Meng Wu, with great military exploits and outstanding merits, were all piled up from the mountains of corpses and blood on the battlefield, so they should be full of arrogance and look down on upstarts like themselves is.

Unexpectedly, although Meng Ao and Meng Wu didn't have much contact with him on weekdays, now that they came to pay a sudden visit and came uninvited, the other party would still behave so politely, neither Meng Ao nor Meng Wu dared to be arrogant in words.

After some courtesy, everyone took their seats.

Meng Ao sat at the head seat, raised his glass to toast tea and said, "Hehe, the old man has heard Meng Tian mention that the general has a noble temperament and does not care for fame and wealth. After planning to build up the cavalry, one of them will be handed over to him to command.
