Chapter 637: I saw my daughter

Peng Zhou left the Qin State and came to Handan, the capital of the Zhao State, and walked around the city, preparing to go to the mansion of the Duke of Zhao after getting acquainted with the environment.

Handan, the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, was a well-developed ancient metropolis full of warehouses with a dazzling array of goods in the warehouses.

Peng Zhou searched all the commercial streets, but he didn't find Lu Buwei. In desperation! He had to come to Zhao Guogong.

In his memory, Zhao Guogong and Wei Guogong were friends and both Taoists. Originally! They are all nobles, and they can all have power and status. But! They are open-minded and unwilling to participate in power struggles. So! They all retreated into the background.

Although they are no longer in the foreground, they still keep in touch with the outside world and maintain good relationships with others.

What is self-preservation? They are the kind of people who are wise enough to protect themselves.

Outcome! They mix better and are believed and supported by better people.

Just when Peng Zhou was looking for an opportunity to enter Zhao Guogong's mansion, he suddenly saw that Lu Buwei came out of Zhao Guogong's backyard with a little girl.

Peng Zhou naturally wouldn't go through the gate to enter, although he had a piece of the ID card of the guard on the Zhao Guogong Mansion. But that ID card can only fool outsiders, and it can't fool the guards in Zhao Guogong's mansion.

If he had entered directly through the main entrance, the guards guarding the gate would not let him in. Even if you are lip-talking, the guards may not necessarily inform Zhao Guogong.

So! Peng Zhou decided to enter from the back door or somewhere in the backyard and went directly to Zhao Guogong. Only when you meet Zhao Guogong can you speak clearly.

Outcome! Everything was gone, he saw Lü Buwei and the little girl. No need to talk nonsense! That little girl could be her own daughter.

Peng Zhou ducked to the side and looked at Lu Buwei and the little girl. He didn't want to go up to greet Lu Buwei directly, let alone see his daughter.

It's not that there are no feelings, but! He was afraid that he would not be able to suppress his emotions after seeing his daughter, and he would take her away.

And also! He wanted to see if Lu Buwei was good to his daughter?

Only what you see with your own eyes is real. The legends of others may be false. Lü Buwei said how he treated your daughter well, it may all be false. Only what you see is real.

Only if the daughter also thinks that this adoptive father treats her well, that is true. No! That's not true, maybe people are coaxing you: one thing on the surface, one thing behind the scenes, and some other conspiracy.

Lü Buwei took the little girl out of the backyard of Zhao Guogong's mansion and got into a carriage parked outside.

OK! Peng Zhou didn't approach the carriage just now, and was not noticed by the coachman.

He was a master stalker and paid attention when he spotted a carriage. So! And he swept by, without letting the coachman see his face.

He was at that time! He just came to observe the terrain, and when he entered Zhao Guogong's mansion, he had not yet decided. When the truth is not detected, he will not rush inside.

Seeing that Lü Buwei's carriage was far away, Peng Zhou ran and followed. Always keep a certain distance and don't let the other person see your face and body clearly.

In a matter of moments, Lü Buwei's carriage arrived at that mysterious alley.

The carriage entered the alley, and he tried to follow in, but the guards refused to let him in.

He didn't insist, pretending to ask the guard why, but his eyes were looking toward the carriage. Seeing the carriage parked in the backyard of a certain shop, he knew what to expect and left.

When he came to the street in front of him, he paid attention to the shop.

In just a few days, Peng Zhou inquired about all the situation of Lü Buwei.

Hearing that Lu Buwei treated his daughter very well, he was relieved.

After observing for a few more days, he found that Lü Buwei really treated his daughter well, so Peng Zhou left Zhao and went to Taoyi.

Such a big incident had happened in the Qin State, and he wanted to get the latest news from his brother Peng Yu and Wei Ran.

He believed that Wei Ran would not frame him. He is more convinced: his brother Peng Yu will not frame him.

Opposite! He was still very worried about Wei Ran and his brother Peng Yu.

It is obvious: the King of Qin is not only against the King of Yiqu, but against the Empress Dowager Qin and Wei Ran.

Since the target is Wei Ran, then! As Wei Ran's follower, Peng Yu, the elder brother, may be implicated. As long as the elder brother Peng Yu stands in the wrong queue, he may be involved in a situation from which he will never recover.

Once you get involved in a struggle for power, the situation is often as follows: You die without knowing how you died?

Though! Wei Ran and his brother Peng Yu are both Taoists, but the situation is often that the more indifferent you are, the more others like to sacrifice you.

He helped King Qin kill King Yiqu in Xianyang and solved the problem for King Qin. But! King Qin is likely to betray you for his own benefit.

Of course! Won't betray you publicly. But! Can he betray you in disguise?

For example! At that time, King Qin's father, Wang Yingsi, in order to achieve his goal of personal vendetta, he killed Shang Ying. And then! still looked helpless.

This is a good example of exposing the ugly face and insidious intentions of those in power.

When they came to Taoyi, Wei Ran and his brother Peng Yu had not yet returned.

Peng Zhou did not dare to appear in public, but only observed secretly.

At present, the living environment of Taoyi is quite good. Because it is Wei Ran's territory, everything is Wei Ran's final say. On the surface! Everything was in accordance with the laws of the Qin State. And actually! But it is with the Taoist "rule by inaction". Give the people a more relaxed living environment, so the people of Taoyi are very active in life.

The people around are willing to migrate to live in Taoyi.

In just a few years, the population of Taoyi reached the saturation state of ancient society.

In terms of military service! The people on the Taoyi side not only did not evade military service, but also actively asked to participate in military service. Because! After joining the military, you can not only be rewarded for your military achievements, but also reduce your family's taxes.

When one person joins the army, the whole family is honored (no taxes are paid). With such a good thing, who wouldn't want to send their children and grandchildren to join the army?

Furthermore! Wei Ran's army rarely lost battles, and the mortality rate was low. So! The people of Taoyi were more willing to serve in Wei Ran's military service.

And also! Even if you unfortunately die on the battlefield, Wei Ran will give a lot of pensions.

Although it is a pension in exchange for your life, if you farm the land, you may not get so much money for half your life.

Why does Wei Ran give so many pensions?

The main reason: the plunder of war!

Wei Ran's army can win battles, so! They are able to plunder better wealth.

Just like the time of King Wei Hui of the Wei State, he relied on the wealth of the war.

Of course! The main reason is that Wei Ran can think about it and doesn't want to occupy too much money.

If you can win the hearts and minds of the people by giving away your money, why not do it?
