Chapter 532: Lü Buwei's big backer
In the past, Lü Buwei took Peng Zhou with him most of the time. Especially when he was doing things in the market town, he always took Peng Zhou with him as a brother. On the surface it is brothers, but in fact! It's bodyguards, guards.
But! Peng Zhou's bodyguards and guards are different from other bodyguards and guards. The other bodyguards and guards were all on the side. And Peng Zhou! As Lu Zi's brother, he is by Lü Buwei's side. Wherever he goes, Peng Zhou is treated as a guest.
Whenever he went to a place, Lü Buwei would introduce Peng Zhou to the other party: This is my brother! Peng Zhou! Pengzi!
Lu Buwei didn't take him there, and Peng Zhou didn't want to follow him. Just right! It can be quiet and quiet!
To know! Since following Lü Buwei, he has rarely had independent time to cultivate, and he has not had a moment of quietness. Lü Buwei is a person who is a fool in the diplomatic arena, and every day except for sleeping time, he basically talks with people and drinks. It's normal to drink and talk about things, and I basically spend my time drinking and talking until late at night.
This kind of day may be enviable for some people. But for Peng Zhou, he is not rare at all. Opposite! He felt: this way of life is not living, but chronic suicide!
This way of life, which breaks the rules of human existence and life, will only make people die early.
In modern language: this way of life is always open to the possibility of sudden death.
Where is this enjoying life? It's simply ruining one's life and degrading one's own body.
Lü Buwei's mansion in the capital of the Patriotic Kingdom is very large, with two courtyards in front and back. Front! It is a "façade room" along the street. It's just that! This street is not a commercial street, so the storefronts on the street outside are basically closed. Upon entering, there is the first courtyard, and then a luxurious palace-level residential building.
This is the owner's residence and an important part of the compound.
At the back of the residential building is a courtyard, flanked by wings. At the back, there is another row of quite nice houses.
The guards hired by Lü Buwei were specially responsible for guarding the house. The courtyard is usually not open, and the guards are all huddled in the courtyard.
The maid is responsible for cleaning, indoor and outdoor hygiene. You can live in it or go home, and be the kind of office worker who goes out early and returns late.
Peng Zhou first inspected the courtyard and familiarized himself with the environment. And then! Practice martial arts in the open space of the courtyard. After practicing physical fitness, go back to practice cross-legged.
During the period of following Lü Buwei, he almost wasted all his martial arts. To know! Physical fitness has to be practiced every day, otherwise! It will go down and become less stamina.
When Lü Buwei left the mansion, he immediately wrapped himself up and prevented others from recognizing him. And then! Turn down the street on the side. In a short time, I came to a tall palace. He took out the token from his bosom and handed it over, and the guard who guarded the door saw this and hurriedly invited him in.
"It turned out to be Lu Zi! Please! My master has been looking forward to your arrival for a long time! ”
"Hehehe! Good! I've been wanting to come for a long time. Isn't it? I've been very busy lately! Lu Buwei took out a jade pendant from his arms as he responded, and quietly stuffed it into the hands of the guards who led the way.
The guard felt a chill in the palm of his hand, and knew that it was Lu Zisai who gave him the baby. Needless to say, it must be a piece of jade that only nobles can afford.
In order not to attract the attention of others, the guards did not dare to speak out.
According to the rules of the guard's work, it is not allowed to accept gifts from guests. It is possible to collect it, but it must be reported. The consequence of reporting may be: you can't get it, and you hand it over to your master. So! Shrewd guards and shrewd gift givers will not be quiet.
It's not like that: people are close to you, so you can go through the door of convenience.
It is precisely because Lü Buwei will bribe the guards and others, so! He was very popular with the guards and others. These people are all looking forward to him Lu Buwei coming. Lu Zi came, and they all had a chance to get benefits.
"Lu Zi is here?" Knowing that Lü Buwei was coming, the expression of this mysterious aristocratic boss of the Wei Kingdom changed greatly on the spot, and he looked smiling. Then he got up and went outside.
"Lü Buwei meets Wei Guogong!" Seeing that Wei Guogong personally greeted him, Lu Buwei hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.
"Get up! Get up! Lu Zi! I'm glad you're here! No need to kneel! What do you kneel? And there are no outsiders! What is the relationship between you and me? We are old friends! You're my little brother! Get up! Get up! ”
With the support of Wei Guogong, Lu Buwei got up. But! He still bowed his hand to show respect for the other party.
"Where? Where? Let's go! Go in and talk! Oh! Little brother! It's been a long time since we've seen each other!" Duke Wei grabbed Lu Buwei's arm and dragged him towards the palace.
This Wei Guogong is not too old, and he is only in his fifties. In fact! He doesn't look like a "Wei Guogong" at all, but like an idle nobleman. The body is well maintained, and at first glance, I thought he was thirty or forty years old.
Originally! According to the system of inheriting titles for the country, he was to be an official in the country. But the family is fine, and after a few years in the officialdom, he retired and enjoyed happiness at home. What a "wise" thing to enjoy the same treatment as a national prince regardless of political affairs.
On the surface! He withdrew from the political 'governance' arena of the country, and in fact! But they have a huge network of connections. People don't want power, they just need benefits and connections.
Lü Buwei's business network plan was built on the basis of others. Without the behind-the-scenes support of Wei Guogong, he is a little kid, where does he have this ability?
As for what kind of benefit distribution agreement Lu Buwei reached with this Wei Guogong, no one knows if the two of them don't say it. As you can imagine! There are no absolutely beneficial benefits, and the people of Wei Guogong will not secretly support it.
Lu Buwei struggled to pause and asked in a low voice, "Duke Weiguo!" That one! That one! Have you received them all? ”
"Roger! Got it! Hahaha! Lu Zi! You! What is the relationship between us? It's okay! It's okay! I don't blame you if I don't receive it! Do big things first! It's important to do big things! If you can't have the funds on hand, don't rush to give it to me! Wei Guogong responded.
Although Lü Buwei did not mention anything specifically, Wei Guogong knew what Lü Buwei was referring to.
"Wei Guogong! This time! I will prepare ten night pearls from the Western Regions for you. There are already nine of them, and one is still missing! But! It's already on the way, and in about half a year, it will be able to be delivered! Lu Buwei whispered.
"Ahh The pearl of the night produced in the Western Regions? When Wei Guogong heard this, he was surprised.
The night pearls produced in the Great Zhou are generally very small, and they are generally produced in the South China Sea and belong to pearls. The night pearl produced in the Western Regions is not a pearl, but an ore that can emit light. So! The size of this night pearl is infinite. And! In terms of luminescence, it is also superior to pearls. But! There is also a disadvantage, that is: it is easy to shatter. Of course! If you don't die, you won't shatter. And the pearl night pearl is unbreakable.
