Chapter 6 Lookout from the top of the city

The capital of Wei State was Anyi.

Following the stairs behind the city wall, Wei? step by step climbed to the top of the Anyi city.

Standing on the parapet and looking into the distance, taking in the scenes on the plains, Wei? felt that his mind suddenly became much wider.

In his previous life, Wei Wei had climbed to the top of Anyi and Daliang City countless times to have a look at the state of Wei under his rule.

At the beginning, Wei Wei was still high-spirited, but when the Wei State suffered repeated defeats, he only felt pain and helplessness in his heart.

The Battle of Guiling, the Battle of Maling, the Battle of Hexi, the Battle of Xiangling...

The wars with surrounding princes made it difficult for the Wei state to take care of itself, and the decline of the country's power was naturally inevitable.

Once upon a time, Wei? He wanted to revive the power of the Wei Kingdom countless times, but the invasion of time and his hair made him unable to do so even if he had the intention.

Recalling the scenes of humiliation in the past, Wei?'s right hand clenched tightly into a fist while standing at the top of the city of Anyi.

Since God has given him another chance, he, Wei?, will definitely not let the tragedy of Wei in his previous life happen again.

Definitely not!

Just as Wei Wei was standing at the top of the city looking into the distance and thinking in his mind, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see you, my old minister Gongshu Cui."

Hearing this voice, Wei? calmly loosened his clenched right hand and looked back at the visitor with a kinder look in his eyes.

"Teacher, you are here, but you want to hold me accountable for taking a break here?"

Hearing the closeness in Wei?'s words, Gongshu Cuo, who was walking towards him step by step, was suddenly startled.

In his impression, the monarch in front of him did respect him enough, but he rarely spoke so intimately.

Whenever important matters were discussed, Wei? would always sit upright with no trace of relaxation in his expression.

At this moment, hearing this sudden sentence made Mr. Gongshu Cuo feel a little uncomfortable.

However, after all, Gongshu Cuo was a veteran of the Wenhou, Wuhou and Wei dynasties. He was used to seeing countless storms and waves. The change in Wei yi's words did not surprise him too much.

After being slightly startled, a smile appeared on his face very naturally, and he slowly came to Wei?'s side.

While looking at the scenery in the distance, Gongshu Cuo said to Wei? "Your Majesty is taking a break here, which makes me very tired."

"The reason why I can take my leisure time is not because my teacher is talented and frees me from slippery documents."

After saying this, Wei Wei and his uncle Cuo looked at each other, but the relationship between the two became a little closer between these words.

After some words, Wei? changed the topic and brought the topic back to the present.

"Teacher, how is the situation in Anyi City?"

Upon hearing Wei?'s inquiry, the smile on Gongshu Cuo's face quickly disappeared, and a serious look appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, our army has now completely controlled Anyi."

After listening to Gongshu Cuo's report, Wei? He nodded slightly and looked at Gongshu Cuo with more trust in his eyes.

"When the teacher works, I can rest assured."

"It's just that Anyi is the capital of our Wei Kingdom after all, and the people in the city are our Wei people. I also ask Teacher to restrain his officers and soldiers so that they don't disturb the people in the city too much."

"Old minister, I sincerely obey your Majesty's orders."

After another conversation, Wei Wei and Gongshu Cuo looked into the distance again, and a somewhat harmonious atmosphere gradually spread between the monarch and his ministers.

A moment passed, but there was another rush of footsteps on the stairs behind the two of them.

Then a general wearing red armor appeared in front of the two of them. If he wasn't Gongsun Cuo, who was he?

"I would like to report to your Majesty, Prime Minister, that while the general led his army to patrol the city, he discovered a suspicious person. After he was captured by our army, he asked to see your Majesty. If you see him or not, please let me know."

"oh!"

Gongsun Cuo's report made Wei Xi feel a little curious. Who would ask to see him at this time?

After turning around and looking at Gongsun Cuo next to him, Wei Xi ordered Gongsun Cuo: "In that case, bring the people here."

"Here."

Gongsun Cuo bowed and turned around and walked down the city wall. Soon, several soldiers followed him back to Wei Wei and Gongsun Cuo.

When the man's face was shown in front of Wei and Wei, Gongshu Cuo's face showed a bit of astonishment, while Wei's eyes showed a bit of surprise.

"It's you?"

Ignoring the exclamation of Uncle Gong next to him, the surprise on Wei?'s face slowly disappeared, and then he saw him walking in front of the man step by step.

"Mr. Gongsun, it's been a long time."

The Mr. Gongsun mentioned by Wei?

The character Qi means tall and slender.

Gongsun Qi, who is standing in front of Wei? at this moment, is exactly as his name suggests. With his slender figure and handsome face, people will have a good impression of him at first sight.

Even though his hands were tied tightly behind his back at the moment, and his face looked a little embarrassed from running around for days, his aura was unparalleled.

To be honest, for Gongsun Qi in front of him, whether in his previous life or in this life, Wei Qi could be said to be gnashing his teeth with hatred.

If he hadn't persuaded the Marquis of Zhao and the Marquis of Han, how could the Han and Zhao armies invade the Wei territory, and how could he be trapped in the military camp?

It is precisely because of this that after he succeeded to the throne in his previous life, Wei Wei, in a rage, directly ordered Gongsun Qi to be executed.

Recalling all the things he had done to Gongsun Qi in his previous life, Wei? slowly walked up to him, a trace of questioning quietly appearing between his brows.

"Mr. Gongsun, have you ever thought that you would be reduced to a prisoner today?"

In response to Wei?'s inquiry, Gongsun Qi, who was standing in front of him, not only had no fear in his eyes, but his face was full of determination.

"Since Qi has been captured by the young master's subordinates, there is nothing to say to Qi. How to deal with it depends on the young master."

"Okay, it seems that Mr. Gongsun has made up his mind."

With a flash of admiration in his eyes, Wei?'s hand quietly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist and walked forward step by step.

At this moment, Gongshu Cuo, who had been standing behind Wei?, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment."

After walking a few steps, he turned around and walked in front of Wei Wei. He heard Gongshu Cuo bow and say, "Please calm down your anger. Mr. Gongsun is a great talent in our country of Wei. If he can assist you, the country of Wei will become stronger."

"

"Old minister, please think twice!"

Regarding Gongshu Cuo's words, Wei Qi seemed not to have heard them at all and continued to stand in front of Gongsun Qi with his sword in hand.

After a crisp sword cry, a long sword emitting a faint cold light appeared in Gongsun Qi's field of vision. Seeing this scene, he slowly closed his eyes.

The sound of a sharp sword cutting through the air floated in his ears. Just when Gongsun Qi thought he was about to die under Wei Qi's sword, he felt that the restraints on his body suddenly disappeared.

Opening his eyes and looking at Wei Qi who sheathed his sword in front of him, and looking at the broken rope at his feet, Gongsun Qi's eyes were full of doubts.

Meeting his gaze, Wei? There was a smile in his eyes.

"The Prime Minister has just said that you are a great talent in our country of Wei. How can I bear to hurt you?"

"Sir, when Guanzi of the State of Qi helped Prince Jiu fight for the throne with Duke Huan of Qi, he almost killed Duke Huan of Qi with one arrow. Later, Duke Huan ignored the past grudges and even entrusted the state affairs to Guan Zhong. Only then did Qi State become hegemonic."

After telling this story about the past, Wei Wei solemnly arranged his clothes and bowed to Gongsun Qi in front of him.

"Mr. Wei? I want to imitate Duke Huan of Qi. I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to be Wei?'s supervisor?"

"this……"

After hearing what Wei Xi said, Gongsun Qi looked quite complicated, and he didn't know how to decide for a moment.
