Chapter 187 Wei Wuji
Zhang Liang looked at the elderly and frail Xinling Jun in front of him and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.
During these hundreds of years of war, the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period fought for supremacy, conflicts between countries continued, and the people suffered terribly. It was truly the darkest era. However, during this long period of chaos, many outstanding figures emerged. Their respective thoughts collided and stirred, creating countless heroes who have been passed down for generations, among whom was Wei Wuji - Xinling Jun.
According to historical records, Wei Wuji should have died many years ago, but in this world, he is still alive, and Zhang Liang can see that Wei Wuji has master-level cultivation. However, the skills he practiced are not for health preservation and longevity, so he does look old. In addition, he has been kept in the cold by the King of Wei for many years, and he is unhappy. It seems that he will not live long now.
"Lord Xinling stole the seal to save Zhao, and defeated the powerful Qin in Zhao. After returning to his country, he successfully formed an alliance to defeat Qin, allowing Wei to be preserved and not destroyed by Qin. Wei Wuji contributed at least half of this. Unfortunately, he was suspected by the King of Wei..." Zhang Liang secretly pondered Wei Wuji's life deeds in his heart.
It can be said that in today's world, Wei Wuji is undoubtedly one of the top talents.
"He is a noble young man from Daliang, his bearing is like the clouds in Cangwu. He saved Zhao and saved Wei, and his heroic name is known throughout the world." Zhang Liang praised sincerely.
"Mr. Zhang, you are too kind. The noble young man in the past has become an old man today. How can he compare to Mr. Zhang, a young talent who has already been famous all over the world!" Wei Wuji stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Originally, a master like Wei Wuji, with profound cultivation, would not be easily moved by emotions under normal circumstances, but this time, when he heard Zhang Liang's words, he couldn't help but smile.
Wei Wuji once dominated the Seven Kingdoms, and it could even be said that he was one of the most famous figures in the world decades ago. However, now, he is just an old man who has been abandoned and no longer has any glory. Most of the three thousand guests in the past have now dispersed or passed away, and many people have almost forgotten that there is a genius named Wei Wuji in this world.
However, what Wei Wuji had never expected was that the popular young man Zhang Liang would give him such a high evaluation, and his favorable impression of Zhang Liang increased greatly.
Zhang Liang smiled, looking a little embarrassed. The poem he just recited was entirely because he saw the old man in front of him and thought of the poem Li Bai wrote for Wei Wuji. The comparison was inspiring, but Wei Wuji misunderstood his meaning.
Since the poem had already been recited, it was obviously inappropriate to be cold to Wei Wuji at this moment, so he said politely: "If Xinling Jun has time, why not go to the mountain to meet?"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my old friend Zhang Kai for a long time. He seems to be living a very comfortable life now!" Xinling Jun responded with a smile.
Zhang Liang immediately understood that the old friend mentioned by Xinling Jun was Zhang Kaidi. Zhang Kaidi, Xinling Jun and Lu Buwei belonged to the same generation, but no matter from which angle, Zhang Kaidi was always inferior to them. When he was young, he could only look up to Xinling Jun. But now, in his old age, Zhang Kaidi has devoted himself to studying the way of keeping healthy, no longer worrying about worldly affairs, and his life is quite comfortable. On the other hand, Xinling Jun worked hard for most of his life, but in the end he was in a difficult situation.
Facing three guests with different backgrounds, Zhang Liang felt that it was quite a headache to entertain them. They had blocked him at the foot of the mountain early in the morning and he had to receive them. If there were more visitors, Zhang Liang would not be in the mood to deal with them. Therefore, he quickly took a few people up the mountain and closed the formation.
In the dojo on the top of the mountain, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Liang first arranged for Master Xu and Xinling Jun to rest temporarily, which was actually to let them avoid each other. After all, the three people had different identities and backgrounds, and naturally wanted to talk to Zhang Liang about different things, so it was not suitable for them to communicate together. Coincidentally, they accidentally walked together when they were at the foot of the mountain.
"Master Tian Meng, I have tried my best to handle the matter of Tian Yan and Tian Ci. This is the current situation. If there is a better way in the future, I will inform you in time."
Zhang Liang called Tian Yan and Tian Ci over and said to Tian Meng.
Although Zhang Liang had a feud with Tian Meng's brother Tian Hu, this did not affect his relationship with Tian Meng. In this real world, Tian Meng is a key figure in the Nong family and is very likely to become the next competitor for the Nong family's chivalrous leader. Whether in terms of ability, martial arts or personal charm, he deserves great attention in all aspects.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Tian Meng clasped his fists and bowed, expressing his gratitude.
Zhang Liang smiled and responded, "Regarding the cooperation that Hall Master Tian mentioned before, let's make it like this: I need all kinds of spiritual medicines and spiritual materials. Ordinary first-grade medicinal materials are not very important to me, but if the farmers can provide me with spiritual medicines and spiritual materials above the second grade, then for the second-grade elixirs and magic weapons sold in Qiyi Building, the farmers only need to pay 90% of the price."
"This..." Tian Meng was stunned for a moment, but he did not intend to accept this proposal. The 10% discount was indeed tempting, but if it was limited to spiritual medicines and spiritual materials above the second grade, it would be too uneconomical for them. You know, the easiest thing to get in the world is the first grade medicinal material, and the second grade medicinal material is already rare, not to mention the third grade.
“Master Tian, I’m talking about the second-grade elixirs and magic weapons being sold in Qiyi Tower,” Zhang Liang explained.
"Deal!" Hearing this, Tian Meng smiled happily. This way he wouldn't feel wronged.
