But when he was very excited and rushed over with his fastest speed, he found that it was just an abandoned village.

None of the dilapidated farmhouses were in good condition. The cobwebs and dust inside the farmhouses also told Liu Rui that no one had come here for a long time.

"What the hell is going on here?" Seeing this dilapidated scene, Liu Rui was puzzled, but he could only move on.

I don't know how long I walked mechanically, and Liu Rui finally couldn't hold it anymore.Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves treading in the distance, and a dark shadow appeared at the same time. Liu Rui looked closely, and a group of businessmen riding camels were marching towards this side. Kettle and dry buns.

Liu Rui wanted to speed up his steps, but unexpectedly, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Wake up! This brother, wake up!"

When Liu Rui was confused, he felt that someone was choking him fiercely, and then he raised his eyelids with difficulty, and saw a group of people curiously surrounding him.Among the more than ten people, three or four were thin-skinned and tender-fleshed, and the rest were like savage shanfu, probably guards or the like.

"Brother, how are you?" One of the people who looked like a leader said. He wore a tall white hat, his short and chubby figure was covered by a wide white robe, and he wore a valuable gold around his neck. Huan's funny moustache moved up and down as he spoke, and his image was exactly the same as those of the businessmen in the costume drama, and he was very happy.

But at this time, Liu Rui was not in the mood for joking. Every cell in his body was clamoring for moisture. He desperately squeezed a few words out of his dry throat: "Water..."

"Get the water now!"

With a wave of his hand, the leader took the water bottle from his entourage, took off the cork and handed it to Liu Rui's mouth. As soon as his mouth touched the water bottle, he drank fiercely, as if he had never drank water in his life. The spring water moistened his whole body from his throat, finally allowing him to regain some physical strength.

Liu Rui was [-]% awake immediately, stood up with his arms supported, and nodded slightly to the caravan leader: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your help."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." The fat man smiled brightly and waved his hands again and again, "There is a businessman in the lower district, whose name is Jiang Fushan, dare to ask Xiongtai Zun's name?"

Liu Rui also smiled calmly: "Under Liu Rui, the word is Wu Sheng. Dare to ask Boss Jiang, where is this place?"

"This is the territory of Wei State." A soft and sweet voice interrupted him, Liu Rui looked towards the owner of the voice, a thin and thin boy wearing a large cloak appeared in everyone's sight, the hat dropped on his face There was a shadow, but Liu Rui could still clearly see that his fair face was dotted with a pair of eyes that were like a deer.The boy casually put down his hat, and his long hair poured out, turning into a shy and timid girl.

It turned out to be a girl. Liu Rui was curious, but he never thought that a delicate woman could travel with the caravan.

When Jiang Fushan saw his beloved daughter, he immediately showed loving eyes and introduced enthusiastically, "This is his beloved daughter Jiang Shuiyue." The girl pursed her lips and smiled at him, unable to express her feelings, "Yes, this is Wei Guo. The border is sparsely populated, and it takes three days and three nights to travel north to reach a town.”

It turned out that he had traveled to Wei State, and Liu Rui thought to himself, what era did he belong to?

"If it was in the past, it would definitely not be so desolate," Jiang Fushan didn't notice the turbulence in Liu Rui's heart, but continued looking into the distance, with a hint of sadness in his tone, "It's been more than four years since the first battle of Changping, and time has passed so quickly. …”

Battle of Changping.Liu Rui naturally knew about this period of history. King Zhao Xiaocheng accepted the seventeen cities of Shangdang County to provoke Qin and was attacked by Bai Qi. More than [-] Zhao soldiers died in that battle, which directly led to Zhao's ceding territory. Begging for peace, the vitality is greatly damaged.

Liu Rui knew in his heart that if it was during this period, the state of Chu would be lingering, the state of Zhao would decline, and the state of Qin had already dominated, and it was only a matter of time before the unification of the world was a matter of time.

"Hey... the current world..."

"That's right, it's good if we can eat together."

"The current situation of the Wei Kingdom is really indescribable...

The attendants of the caravan also chatted along the topic, moaning and sighing incessantly.Jiang Fushan cleared his throat and said, "Alright, alright. Lunch should be ready, let's talk while we eat."

Liu Rui frowned slightly.The status quo during this period was a big challenge for him to display his ambitions, especially when he traveled to such a weak and weak country as Wei.

But Liu Rui is still full of confidence in himself.Now that it has come, it is safe to do so. At the moment, we must collect all the information as much as possible, so that we can make a big picture with a small amount of money.Before you find an opportunity, hide your strength and follow this caravan.

1011: This lie is crooked

Next to the carriage of the caravan, a group of people were eating and chatting around a bonfire.

A roasted whole sheep is standing on the fire, and one of the guards is rolling it constantly, and the very tempting aroma fills the air and drifts...

And the golden oil droplets, making a sizzling sound... keep rolling down from the delicate and smooth roast lamb, dripping on the roaring bonfire below, making bursts of crackling sounds. .

The sheep were the goods that Jiang Fushan brought in from the herdsmen of the Qin State, and there were dozens of sheep in the cages of the caravan's carriage.

The Qin people were close to the Xiongnu, and there were many people who lived by grazing. The quality of cattle and sheep was also the best. Because Qin Fa attached great importance to the protection of cattle, he could only buy goats.

These sheep are still very popular when they are sold in Wei, and the price can be doubled or doubled.

Liu Rui wanted to know as much as possible about the situation here. While eating, he kept inquiring about Wei Guo's information.

"Boss Jiang, I wonder how Wei Guo is doing now?"

Jiang Fushan's expression darkened when he heard the words, and he sighed: "Alas... Actually, Wei State was often harassed by Qin State before the Battle of Changping. Now Zhao State is basically crippled by Qin State, and none of the six countries have the strength to follow suit. The Qin State resisted the court. The Wei State is getting worse because of its close proximity to the Qin State. The Qin army invades the border almost every year. The city is captured by others, and finally the land is ceded to pay compensation. The livelihood of the people is also worse. can end..."

Liu Rui listened, thoughtful...

Now we can only take one step at a time. Qin State is too strong and it is not conducive to his own development, but Wei State is obviously not an ideal choice.

After thinking for a while, I felt that I could switch from Wei State to Qi State, and then make plans.

Qi State is far away from Qin State, and among the six kingdoms, its national strength is also ranked high, far from being comparable to Wei State.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Fushan felt that Liu Rui seemed to have something on his mind, and he couldn't help but be curious about Liu Rui's origin, so he asked, "Where is Brother Liu's house? Why did you come to this barren place alone?"

Liu Rui couldn't think of a good rhetoric for a while, so he made up an identity temporarily.

"To be honest with Boss Jiang, my hometown was originally the State of Qi, and now I live in seclusion and practice on a nearby mountain. This time I went down the mountain for the experience of the master."

But who knew that Jiang Fushan's expression changed slightly after hearing her answer, as if he had confirmed something!

After chatting for two more words, they found an excuse to leave.

Liu Rui didn't notice the difference, and he still drank and ate meat there.

After Jiang Fushan left, he found a confidant who whispered a few words, and then returned to the campfire.

At this time, the confidant brought a jug of wine to Liu Rui again. Liu Rui thought it was adding wine for himself, just as his wine was almost finished, he didn't care.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Liu Rui realized why he was dizzy and weak in his limbs?Don't even have the strength to stand up?
