It is well known that the Qin Army's Arrow Formation is unparalleled in the world. To ensure its continuity, once launched, it becomes a torrential Arrow Rain. In the face of life’s fleeting moments, the key question is who will ultimately survive. If someone suggests saving resources at this moment, they will surely face the wrath of Black Stone!
Sitting on the ground, Luzi listened to Sun Thirteen's concerns and reached for the teapot to pour himself a drink. War! Indeed, it is not something anyone can casually engage in! The issue of food supply within the country has just been raised, and now the question of how to obtain mineral resources is also at hand.
At this moment, the mission to prevent Qi State from sending troops to Shangdang has not yet been completed; if not now, when should they be troubled!?
Chang Yu, Feng Quji, and Xiao Yu'er, waiting at the inn, noticed Luzi's grim expression and wisely kept their distance to avoid unnecessary discomfort. A greeting was still necessary, but once they entered, they would disappear from sight. It was better to stay far away than to wander around in front of someone who was clearly upset!
Luzi looked at Sun Thirteen still sitting there foolishly and felt something was off in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he realized what was missing. There should have been three people heading to Qi King's Palace this morning! Why was one missing!?
“Thirteen! Where is Li Shiba!?”
Upon hearing this, Sun Thirteen nearly toppled over. After carefully assessing Luzi's expression, he kindly reminded him, “Innkeeper! Should I call Xiao Yu'er to check on you?”
Luzi slammed the table and shouted angrily, “I am not sick! Why would you bring a Surgeon here!? I want to ask you where Li Xin has gone!?”
Realizing that Big Shopkeeper was genuinely angry, Sun Thirteen quickly stood up and replied seriously, “I have been waiting outside the palace gate with Li Shiba. During that time, he mentioned he had something to take care of. He promised to return quickly, but he hasn’t come back even after you emerged from the palace. I don’t know where he went; it’s my fault for not keeping track.”
Hearing this answer made Luzi's heart stir. He understood Li Xin's character; unless something significant occurred, this guy acting as head guard would never abandon his post without reason. After thinking it over, he waved for Sun Thirteen to go rest.
Life is fleeting, like a white horse passing through a gap. Some people live mundane lives while others exist solely for great matters. Those who exist for significant purposes are always prepared to face challenges and experience the passion of being at the forefront of events. However, there is one essential thing that must not be lacking; otherwise, no matter how high one rises, they will fall just as hard.
Calmness! One must maintain inner peace at all times and in all places!
At this moment, saying it might be hard for many to believe. But it is true; especially in chaotic times, one must maintain a good mindset of tranquility. This may sound easy in theory, but when faced with reality, one realizes just how difficult it is to achieve true calmness!
The measure of whether you are a master truly depends on this. A true master is not someone who is self-righteous, but rather those who have weathered storms and stood firm without falling.
Luzi never dared to consider himself a master, as just moments ago he was in a state of turmoil. However, he had one advantage: he could always find his way back to the right state of mind. With only one person left in the room, his heart gradually returned to a peaceful state.
From the audience with King Qi to the presence of the familiar Queen Dowager and then to Li Xin's sudden disappearance, past scenes flashed before his eyes like a cutscene. He understood King Jian of Qi's character relatively well. Reflecting on that moment, an answer emerged.
Next was the meeting with Queen Dowager. The possibility of being outright rejected did not align with how the Queen Dowager typically conducted herself in daily interactions. Additionally, Li Xin's disappearance further confirmed the entire issue.
Thus, the answer should be as follows!
It seemed that there were only two people in the grand hall at that time; however, that was not the case! It was precisely because there was an outsider present that King Jian of Qi did not want to discuss state affairs in front of that person! The presence of this individual also prevented Queen Dowager from giving her old acquaintance any face!
Once this answer was confirmed, Luzi immediately thought of a more serious issue. If only Qi State was on stage this time, then with Queen Dowager's power, she could still give her old acquaintance some consideration. If even their own army had no say, it would be a laughingstock if word got out!
Luzi glanced at the teapot in his hand; he almost tossed it aside but gently placed it back instead. At this moment, it wasn't just their intelligence department in Qi State that had overlooked things; as the head of this department, he too had taken so long to realize it.
At the time of the incident, the answer had been right before his eyes yet slipped past him! Rather than shattering an innocent teapot to escape responsibility, it would be better to find a block of tofu and bang his head against it!
So now, what questions remained unanswered?
Gazing blankly at the table, Luzi most wanted to see Li Xin. He had every reason to believe that the target he had just missed had already been discovered by Li Xin! Because only when that invisible person surfaced would some problems be resolved.
The missing Li Xin did not return for lunch. As Luzi prepared to send someone out to look for him while watching the evening glow, Li Shiba hurried back inside. Upon entering, he grabbed the teapot and drank deeply before wiping his mouth and complaining about being starving!
Seeing that Luzi was calm and collected, he no longer felt anxious. He had someone heat up the food left for Li Xin in the kitchen and then quietly watched as the scout devoured it hungrily.
Once the table was cleared of food, Li Xin took a sip of tea and pressed down hard. Turning to look at his companions in the room, he smiled and said, "Innkeeper! Guess who has come to Linzi!? It's our old acquaintance!"
Upon hearing that term, Luzi began to seriously sift through his memories. In his recollection, there were not many people who knew King Jian of Qi and were familiar with the Queen Dowager. This person must be quite significant to the Qi State; otherwise, they would not have sent troops to Shangdang for no reason.
When the army moves, it signifies national war.
For the Qi State, which had enjoyed peace for many years, this was something that King Jian of Qi needed to handle with great caution. Even the Queen Dowager would approach the decision on whether to send troops with utmost care.
From these considerations, one could see the Qi State's attitude toward war. However, the problem was that the Qi State was already mobilizing its main forces. Who could this old acquaintance be that held such influence!?
Misled by numerous improbable scenarios, Luzi could not pinpoint the target and had to admit he really couldn't guess, hoping that certain individuals wouldn't keep him in suspense. At this moment, anyone else could afford to wait, but he could not.
Li Xin looked proudly at his eager brothers before saying, "It's Wei Country Young Master! Wei Wujie! Just after Big Shopkeeper entered Qi King's Palace, disguised Wei Wujie came out from the palace!"
Hearing this, an incredulous Luzi looked at his companions. "Can he really persuade the Queen Dowager!?"
