Chapter 3

The cold wind is like a knife, and the snow is flying for thousands of miles.

A luxurious carriage came from the official road in the north, crushing the ice and snow on the ground, leaving long ruts on the ground.

Lu Buwei was sitting in the carriage.

He looks to be in his thirties, with a majestic body and a dignified appearance. He has an aura that is incomparable to ordinary people. He is rich and powerful, and his eyes are deep and profound.

"There are still about thirty miles ahead, and we will enter Handan City."

The man driving the car spoke up. He smelled heavily of alcohol, and his yellow eyes looked like he was still awake under his eyelids.

Lu Buwei is the most wealthy in the world, and the person who drives him is not an ordinary groom, but a famous top master in the world, the most famous swordsman in Luoyang, named Jiu Huzi.

Jiu Huzi was defeated by the Mohist giant "Six-fingered Black Man" in thirty steps with a casual sword. He didn't want to meet Lu Buwei. After a long talk, he regained his fighting spirit and was even more willing to become Lu Buwei. He made friends with Lu Buwei and escorted him to Handan.

The carriage moved forward.

Lu Buwei looked at the precious yellow-heart agate wine glass in his hand with a melancholy expression.

For him, even if he is richest in the world and his family has mountains of gold and silver, he is not really rich.

The word "rich" cannot be used alone. It is often more appropriate to add the word "expensive" after it.

What Lu Buwei pursues in his life is not to be rich, but to be rich is the goal!

The rutted snow crunched.

The wind and snow seem to have become lighter.

The weather is getting colder, but fortunately there is a brazier in this carriage that is so rich and noble.

Lu Buwei reached out to warm himself by the fire, but his ears twitched slightly and he heard the sound of someone's footsteps outside beyond the ruts of the carriage and the snow.

He opened the car curtain and took a look, and saw a black-haired young man in single clothes walking on the road in the wind and snow ten feet away in front of him.

The carriage moved forward.

The young man also heard the sound of the carriage behind him and turned his head to look over.

Lu Buwei saw the face of this young man walking alone in the snow.

His skin was slightly red due to the wind and snow, but it revealed a strong vitality of health.

This young man is extremely handsome.

Lu Buwei looked at the young man's thin clothes, smiled and said:

"It's windy, snowy and cold. Little brother, come up. I'll give you a ride."

The young man looked at Lu Buwei and did not refuse. He just smiled slowly and said:

"Then you're welcome."

The great swordsman Jiu Huzi watched the young man get into the car and frowned slightly. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Lu Buwei's eyes.

The young man didn't seem to see the eye contact between the two.

"It's getting cold, let's warm up by the fire."

Lu Buwei asked the young man to sit across from him, then asked with a smile:

"In Xialu Buwei, I don't know what to call my little brother. Where are we going alone in this windy and snowy sky?"

"My surname is Jiang and my first name is Taiyi."

After Jiang Taiyi spent his whole life cultivating himself in the soul, he was like a real mortal, reaching out to warm himself to the fire.

Hehe replied with a smile:

"There is no goal, we are at home all over the world, no matter where we go."

"The surname Jiang? This is one of the eight surnames in ancient times. Taiyi, the name is even more precious. My little brother is of noble birth."

Lu Buwei praised:

"I am a businessman from Puyang. I am going to Handan, Zhao State, to sell some goods. Now that you are in the car, I can at least take you to Handan."

Jiang Taiyi smiled and thanked: "Thank you very much."

Lu Buwei said: "It's not easy for people all over the world to go out. We meet each other on the right side of the road, and it's fate that we can travel the same way."

when he speaks.

The great swordsman Jiu Huzi who was driving the car outside had been looking askance at Jiang Taiyi.

Jiang Taiyi sensed the other party's cautious and scrutinizing gaze, and did not look back intentionally. However, he already knew the state of the big man driving the car in his heart.

"There is Qi flowing in his body and sword intention in his heart. He is also a good master among mortals. It seems that this world may not have people who practice immortality like me, and there is another method of its own. "

He felt that Lu Buwei, who was sitting opposite, was in much worse shape.

As the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, Handan City was very lively after all, especially since it was just New Year's Eve. There was a lot of people coming and going at the city gate, going back and forth through the doorway.

"Arrived in Handan."

Hu Jianshi, who was driving the carriage, reined in his horse and stopped fifty feet away from the city gate.

Mrs. Jiang nodded and thanked Lu Buwei:

"Thank you for giving me a ride. Jiang will get off here."

Lu Buwei invited: "If Brother Jiang doesn't have a place to live yet, why not follow Lu to live in the courtyard of Handan City for a while."

Jiang Taiyi smiled and said, "Isn't this too much trouble?"

Lu Buwei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang and I chatted freely all the way and admired each other very much. I thought the chat was not pleasant enough, so why bother? If Brother Jiang doesn't give up, Buwei still has a wine shop in Handan City, and there is a courtyard behind the wine shop. How about giving the wine shop and courtyard to Brother Jiang for you to stay temporarily?"

When the swordsman driving the carriage heard this, he took another deep look at Lu Buwei and Jiang Taiyi.

For Lu Buwei’s dedication and gift.

Jiang Taiyi smiled in his heart.If in the past in the world of immortality, he would have been extremely wary of those who came to him with benefits like this for no reason.

But now.

He wants to transform into a mortal and understand the way of heaven. What he pursues is to let nature take its course as a mortal and make up for the life of a mortal.

Even though he knew that Lu Buwei in front of him would not be so kind to him for no reason, he didn't mind.

It's like the other party invites you to get on the carriage.

Jiang Taiyi cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wei is so generous. Jiang is very grateful. In this case, I will accept it."

Lu Buwei laughed and said, "Hahaha, I met Brother Jiang today. It's time to celebrate. Let's go to the wine shop and have a few drinks."

The carriage drove into Handan City, and soon arrived at the wine shop under Lu Buwei's name in Handan City.

Although this place is in a remote corner of Handan City and there are not many customers in the wine shop, it is relatively quiet.

The people in the wine shop may have been informed a long time ago that the big boss Lu Buwei was coming to Handan today, so they went straight out to greet him.

Lu Buwei took Jiang Taiyi forward and said:

"From today on, this wine shop and the courtyard behind it will be under the name of my friend. Come on, let someone bring food and wine. I want to have a drink with my friend."

During the banquet, after three drinks.

Lu Buwei laughed and said: "I really enjoyed myself today. The courtyard behind has been tidied up. My friend, if you drink too much, go and rest first. Buwei has business to discuss when he comes to Handan City. He will leave first and come back in two days. Find friends to chat and drink.”

Jiang Taiyi blinked slightly.

Looking at Lu Buwei's leaving figure, he drank alone, thoughtfully, and smiled unconsciously.

If the other party has no plans for him, he can be considered an interesting person just by spending a lot of money and making friends.

Lu Buwei left the wine shop with the great swordsman.

Jiu Huzi then spoke: "How could you be so kind to a person you only met on the road for less than half a day? Not only did you send him to the courtyard, you even gave him the livelihood of the wine shop."

Lu Buwei had his hands behind his back, and his broad body was as big as a mountain. Hearing this, he glanced at the wine bearded man and said with a smile:
"Brother Hu also knows that I am a businessman. The most powerful thing about a businessman is his vision. Didn't Brother Hu see that this Brother Jiang is not a common man?"

The wine-bearded man said thoughtfully: "Why are you no longer a commoner?"

"If there is a heavy snowstorm, he is dressed in single clothes and has nothing to protect him from the cold, but he can be safe and sound, which is extraordinary, not to mention that his surname is Jiang and his name is "Taiyi", which is so noble, especially for someone like this from Handan. Along the way, I talked with him..."

Lu Buwei said with emotion: "I personally think that even if I am not a master of hundreds of schools of thought, I am still a person who has traveled far and wide and has seen a lot. But this Brother Jiang, no matter how I try to test him, he can actually tell me everything, and even It feels like the person I asked is not as good as what he has experienced, as if only the tip of the iceberg is missing.”

"How can such a person not be worth my money to befriend?"

Jiu Huzi asked: "You know that my skills are considered top-notch, but what I want to tell you is that I have not noticed any fluctuations in the flow of true energy in this person. You know, even the great master of the Mo family Six-fingered Black Man, I can also feel his aura, unless he is more powerful than Six-Fingered Black Man, but that is almost impossible... Secondly, how do you know that his noble name is not just made up?"

"So what if it's made up? It doesn't matter if it's fake."

Lu Buwei walked in front with his hands behind his back and said leisurely:

"Buwei has been doing business all his life, and he only knows one thing: ten thousand people wield bows, and all of them will hit the target. Cast the net wide, catch as many fish as possible, and choose the best."

He is like the fisherman by the Wei River. As long as he casts his net under the water day and night, one day he will be able to catch what he wants like Jiang Taigong.

But I don't know.

Jiang Taiyi, who was drinking in a wine shop, was still sharp and clear even though he had fallen asleep.

Lu Buwei didn't go too far. Although ordinary people or martial arts masters couldn't hear it, he heard it and smiled casually:
"It turned out to be a giant businessman."

Small businessmen seek profit, big businessmen seek fame, and giant businessmen seek the country.

that's it.

Jiang Taiyi lived in the courtyard given to him by Lu Buwei. Every day when he had nothing to do, he would go to the front yard wine shop to drink. The main thing was to be casual, not pursue anything, let life go with the flow, and then get out of it. Realize what you want to realize.

In this way, half a year passed.

Lu Buwei found that his investment seemed to have failed. In half a year, he gave Jiang Taiyi a house and a store, but he did not get much return.

But he was not disappointed at all.

Because just today.

Zhao Xiaocheng was king for 20 years.

It's summer.

After Jiang Taiyi, he caught another carp in Handan City.

"Hahaha, Brother Jiang, come quickly, let me introduce this young master to you."

Lu Buwei took a person's hand and came to the wine shop, pointed at the person and laughed at Jiang Taiyi:
"This young master, whose name is Ying Yiren, is the grandson of King Zhaoxiang of the current Qin State. His father is King Zhaoxiang's son An Guojun. I fell in love with him at first sight."

Jiang Taiyi looked over.

I saw Ying Yiren's face, which was yellow and waxy, a little sickly, and a little decadent.

Jiang Taiyi was now the owner of the wine shop, so he smiled and stepped forward to greet him: "That's a good time to drink."

During the dinner, the three of them drank heavily.

Lu Buwei took Ying Yiren's hand and said, "After becoming a member of the Qin royal family, Yiren has not yet married. There is a beautiful concubine in Buwei's family who can be sent to serve."

Ying Yiren said with eyes full of wine, "Now Yiren is just living under someone else's roof. Although he is the queen of the royal family, he is a worthless hostage. But Brother Wei actually thinks so highly of me, which really makes me ashamed."

Lu Buwei said: "Buwei is a businessman, nothing else, but he has one thing that is great, and that is his vision. Although Yiren is a prostitute now, it is like a rare commodity that can be hoarded for the future."

Jiang Taiyi drank slowly on the side and said to himself:

"Extraordinary goods to live in!"

He seemed to have dreamed of these four words in that dream a long time ago.
