If I am not mistaken, Li Xin and Wei Wujie once had a confrontation and it is very likely that Li Xin lost. The most probable scenario is that Wei Wujie did not win in a manner befitting the Wei Country Young Master. This is likely why Li Xin gave him a derogatory nickname.
As for the truth of the matter, since Li Xin is not talking, there is no way to find out. Everyone harbors a secret in their hearts, perhaps a shameful past or deep-seated grudges that cannot be shared with outsiders. This is actually a form of self-protection, as many things can be discussed by outsiders without regard for the feelings of those involved.
Regarding those so-called secrets, outsiders do not care. People can say whatever they want since their mouths are under their own noses. They have no responsibility to keep your secrets, so they naturally bear no psychological burden.
Now, it’s not just Li Xin who has his own secrets; even Luzi has not mentioned to anyone what happened after he ordered Cai Youdao to leave. At that time, Cai Zhanggui was eagerly awaiting Big Shopkeeper's return and was so excited he could hardly speak. When the incident occurred, he was still waiting to escort the target out of Handan, so there was no opportunity to ask! Moreover, if Big Shopkeeper did not intend to mention something, even if concerned, one would not dare to inquire.
Looking towards Daliang City in the Wei Kingdom from the carriage, Lu Zichao knew he had inevitably missed another opportunity. Sigh! He had felt everything was going smoothly, but now it seemed increasingly beyond his control. Was it that there were too many matters at hand or was there an issue with his mindset!?
Inside the carriage, Xiao Yu'er was constantly paying attention to Luzi. She never expected such a skilled individual would suffer such severe internal injuries. Analyzing Lu Gongzi through her expert lens, he was indeed a natural martial arts prodigy. The worst thing for internal injuries is losing one's temper, as it can disrupt one's breathing. Especially for those with internal cultivation, losing control could lead to dire consequences. There is a saying that excessive anger harms the body; this situation amplified that notion many times over.
"Young Master! If you cannot control your mind like this, I will have to resort to extreme measures! If you continue to think like this, the unification endeavor may be lost!"
It’s best to listen to the experts!
Luzi immediately stated that it was unnecessary to go through such trouble; he had methods to control his mind. He took out the oddly named smiley face from his pocket and asked Xiao Yu'er to help him make a knot with it. Then he wore it around his neck, declaring that this would be his only accessory for life. Even if someone offered a fortune for it, he would not trade it!
This group consisted of thirty Shop Assistants personally selected by Cai Youdao. The other fifty were borrowed from General Wang Jian, who was still in Handan. As the current finest Qin State Arrow Formation, Qin Soldiers were exceptionally well-trained.
The Soldiers trained rigorously had completely ingrained the Defensive Formation into their bones. When they sensed danger, they would immediately form ranks even without an Officer's command. The importance of this became evident after Luzi led an attack on the Yan State troops. If Qin Soldiers had been waiting outside the carriage at that time, there would have been no need for orders.
Of course, dying in battle is not feared; the premise is to survive as much as possible during combat! Once a person is dead, what’s left to fight for?
If it weren't for that unbearable experience, Luzi would never have borrowed troops from Wang Jian. The duty of this Centurion was to protect the Prime Minister of Qin State, and if anything happened to Fan Ju, it would be impossible to escape blame, even leading to suicide on the spot.
But at this moment, there was no choice but to act expediently. After all, Zhao Xiang Wang and Old General Wang He were waiting for definite news from this side. If the captured target could not be safely returned to the main camp on time, this trip would have been in vain.
The information gathered and obtained would eventually be relayed back, but hearing the captives speak in person was a completely different concept. As for why Luzi had to take such a risk, he felt somewhat baffled. Moreover, he couldn't pinpoint when this feeling had started; he decided to follow this path nonetheless.
In Handan City, Fan Ju only learned later that several people were missing from Wang Jian's troops, but since it was a military matter, he didn't bother with it. Besides, the boundaries between Qin and Zhao were adjacent. If it weren't for the secret decree from the King Qin at that time, he would have directly entered Zhao's territory.
As for Fan Ju's safety, there was no need to worry at all. Zhao did not want anything to happen to the State Minister of Qin within its borders; if that happened, it would be a huge loss of face. When Fan Ju officially departed, King Zhao would certainly send a strong escort. As his close friend, Plain King would also see him off. By the time the escort reached the Zhao-Qin boundary, the guards who had already received news of the Chancellor's return would be waiting there early to greet them.
Unfazed by this, Fan Ju diligently worked for Wang Sun Zi Chu for several more days and only shed tears when everything was finally ready to part ways. Zichu wanted to see him off but was politely declined by Fan Ju. Before leaving, he reminded Wang Sun to be cautious since both armies of Qin and Zhao were engaged in fierce battles at Shangdang. However, he assured Zichu that returning home was of utmost importance.
In case! This is just in case! If something went wrong, Zichu could seek protection from Plain King. With Uncle Wang's influence, he could still ensure Zichu's safety. This point must be remembered; currently, Plain King was the only one who could protect Zichu's life in Zhao.
Even if Zichu received limited information, he had listened to many teachings from Fan Ju over these days. While understanding many significant events happening within Qin State at this time, he also grasped some actual situations in the Shangdang Region.
Although the two armies of Qin and Zhao had ceased fighting due to heavy snow blocking the mountains, this was only temporary. Peace talks were definitely not an option because it did not align with Qin State's strategic intentions. To eliminate future obstacles in unifying Huaxia, the Qin Army must inevitably defeat this strongest opponent. Regardless of what strategies both sides employed, there would be a decisive battle determining who would emerge as the final victor.
Meanwhile, Zichu in the capital of Zhao would inevitably become a target of public ire. Those whose fathers, sons, and brothers died on the front lines would surely vent their anger on this Wang Sun of Qin State. If that time came, even if King Zhao intervened to mediate, it would be extremely difficult. Considering finding an outlet for public grievances, this kind-hearted King Zhao might very well hand over Zichu.
Fortunately, there is always a solution; heaven does not completely shut off people's paths. When one door closes, another window can be opened. This was also the last piece of knowledge Fan Ju could impart to Wang Sun of Qin State; he hoped Zichu could successfully endure what might be the most challenging moment of his life.
What surprised Fan Ju was how remarkably calm Zichu was. He expressed his intention to use this rare opportunity to earn enough capital for his return home while also hoping that the Chancellor would remember his earlier request.
Fan Ju certainly knew what Wang Sun's initial request was, and he was well aware of the capital that Zichu would gain if he successfully overcame the difficulties. At such a height, it was likely that several Protons could only look up to him in admiration.
