Chapter 110 Killing 6
"What kind of person." Only the sound of the sword coming out of its sheath was heard. Zhao Jun, who was patrolling with the team, turned around and shouted in unison.
A soft voice came from the darkness, "It's me. General Le doesn't have to be so nervous."
Le Yi heard the voice of the King of Yan, so he stretched out his hand to signal his subordinates to remove the guard, and he went up and bowed down; "See the King of Yan."
Ji Zhi picked him up with a smile and said, "General Le is not polite."
Le Yi straightened up and hesitated and whispered, "The King of Yan, please don't call me a general again. I can't be as good as Qu Hou. How can I be a general? If I'm listened to by others, I'm afraid I'll be mocked."
Ji Zhi smiled and said, "But in my heart, you are far better than our generals in the State of Yan. You deserve this 'general'."
Le Yi heard that there seemed to be another deep meaning in Ji's words, but he pretended not to know the topic and asked with a smile, "The king of Yan is so elegant, and he is still in high spirits until now. I've heard people say that the King of Yan drinks a lot. When I see him today, he really lives up to his reputation.
Ji Zhi smiled and was modest a few times. He looked at the dark place in the distance and paused. "Today's daytime events are quite frightening, and there are still many puzzles in my heart that I want to ask you. I don't know if you have time to accompany me for a while. Let's talk as we walk.
Since the King of Yan was invited, Le Yi would naturally not refuse, so he nodded and agreed, so he ordered his men to be more careful and take precautions, and then he took time to return to the camp with Ji Zhi.
"Listen to your accent, it doesn't seem to be a native of the State of Zhao." On the way, Ji looked for an opportunity to ask.
Le Yi smiled and bowed back and said, "To the King of Yan..."
Before he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Ji Zhi's rude words and said unhappily, "Le Yi, I think you are a character, and the talent is worth my friendship. A gentleman should have abandoned time and vulgar etiquette, but you are obsessed with vulgar etiquette everywhere. Do you really look down on me and think I don't deserve to be friends with you?
Le Yi quickly said that he didn't dare, but he was really moved, so he changed his words and said, "The king of Yan is really good-sighted. I'm really not a real Zhao person. I was born in Feicheng, and I was still from Zhongshan until the year before last. It has only been a few years since I became a Zhao native.
"Oh, that's it." Ji Zhi suddenly understood and nodded with a smile.
It turned out that it was not the real Zhao people, but the Zhongshan Kingdom that was annexed by the State of Zhao, which was much easier to do. Thinking that as a Zhongshan person, he will not have a good impression on the State of Zhao, and it is still depressed.
Ji Zhi asked tentatively, "I said that the surname Le is really rare. If the Baidi people take the surname, it will be much more common."
Le Yi's face was slightly unhappy, and his voice was calm, "I'm afraid the king must have guessed wrong. Although Le is small, he is an authentic Chinese. There is nothing worth taking out, so this humiliated the ancestors and humiliated the prestige of the ancestors.
"The prestige of the ancestors?" Ji Zhi was stunned and asked puzzledly, "I don't know who is Brother Le's ancestor?"
Le Yi bowed slightly. Although his voice was humble, he could not hide his pride in his eyes.
"The ancestor is the happy sheep of the State of Wei."
Le Yang is the famous general of Wei. When Wei Wenhou dominated the Central Plains, Le Yang once destroyed the powerful Zhongshan Kingdom for him and incorporated hundreds of miles of land of Zhongshan into the territory of the State of Wei.
At the beginning, Le Yang was a guest of Wei Xiangbang and Zhai Huang. The king of Zhongshan sent troops to invade Wei. Zhai Huang recommended Leyang. However, Le Shu, the son of Le Yang, is a general of the King of Zhongshan, and he has killed Zhai Jing, the son of Zhai Huang. However, Zhai Huang knows that Leyang is a man, regardless of kindness and resentment, and strives to protect Leyang as a handsome man. Wei Wenhou was talented and found the excellence of Le Yang, so he resolutely appointed him as a general and commanded a small number of elite Wei troops to counterattack Zhongshan.
After Leyang sent troops, because the enemy was strong and we were weak, he put on a slow plan. When the news came, there was a clamor in the court, and the ministers falsely accused Leyang of compassing with the enemy. The king of Zhongshan killed his son again and boiled it into a meat soup and gave it to him. In order to show his loyalty, Le Yang ate the meat soup. Then he was defeated by Zhongshan. The king of Wei rewarded him and sealed him in Lingshou, but he thought that he was cruel and did not have the love between father and son. From then on, he was no longer valued, so that the famous general of Leyangtang was just a battle for the rest of his life.
After the death of Leyang, he was buried in Lingshou, and his descendants were at home in Zhongshan. After the decline of the hegemony of the State of Wei, Zhongshan took the opportunity to restore the country, but because Leyang ruled benevolence in Zhongshan, although he was the culprit of the destruction of the State of Zhongshan, the Bai Di people did not hate him, so they did not persecute his descendants. When it comes to the generation of Le Yi, it is already the fifth generation.
"Le Yang!" This time, Ji was really surprised and asked Le Yi with a surprised face, "After you are a famous general, you are full of talent and martial arts. Why don't you explain it to Master Zhao? I believe that according to the character of the master, he will never only let you bend to a small song.
Le Yi smiled and said disapprovingly, "These are just the false names left by their ancestors, and their descendants still have to rely on themselves. If I rely on the false name of my ancestors as a step stone, it would be too cheap. Even I look down on myself.
"In fact, I have been in the army for less than two years, and I have accumulated contributions from ordinary soldiers to today's Quhou. It is rare for me to be promoted quickly in the Zhao army. So you don't have to worry about the King of Yan just now.
Ji Zhi nodded and asked with some surprise, "Two years?"
Le Yi nodded and said, "Exactly, when I was young, I used to study and travel around the world as a pursuit, so I said goodbye to the two elders and traveled around the world alone. I didn't have time to go home until I was 28 years old. At that time, my father had already passed away, and only my mother was still alive. From then on, I decided to be filial to my mother and took one at home to send her to the end.
"I have no talent. What I'm good at is just marching and fighting, so I came to sign up for the army. I want to rely on one skill to enter the cavalry and rely on the high salary of the cavalry."
Ji Zhi suddenly felt that it was like this. No wonder Le Yi was so old, but he was just a Quhou. If it's two years, it's much more reasonable.
"Where is your mother now?"
"It's still in Feicheng, taken care of by Zhuo Jing."
"Oh." Ji Zhi answered faintly, but he secretly turned several thoughts in his heart and remembered it carefully.
Speaking of this, Ji Zhi stopped asking questions, but walked silently, and Le Yi followed quietly.
After a long silence, Ji Zhi suddenly stopped and turned to look at Le Yi.
"Le Yi, I know that you have thousands of volumes in your chest, full of ambitions, but you suffer from nowhere to perform. And so are I. Although he is the king of ten thousand times, he is nominal and has been bullied by the State of Qi. Now that the State of Yan is working hard to govern, the national strength has greatly increased. What is missing now is the talent of a general. If you are willing to come, I am willing to trust each other, are you willing to?
Although Le Yi had just come out of Ji's intention to attract himself, he didn't expect that he would speak so directly, which made him a little overwhelmed in a panic. I couldn't help asking, "King Yan, you don't know anything about me at all. How do you know that I have the talent of a general? Are you too impruly to entrust the whole country so easily?"
Ji Zhi smiled and said calmly, "I believe in my intuition and judgment. I can feel from you that you are the talent I have been looking for. I believe that when Duke Huan of Qi saw Guan Zhong for the first time, and when He Lu, the king of Wu, saw Wu Zixu for the first time, he must have been in my mood today.
"Brother Le, please believe in the sincerity of my widow. Since I have the intention to seek virtuousness, I will live up to it for the rest of my life."
Le Yi hesitated for a long time before he slowly said, "There is more love from the King of Yan, but my mother is left in the State of Zhao. Now she is old and attached to her hometown. I'm afraid she doesn't want to suffer from the boat again."
Although Le Yi took his mother as an excuse, he actually thought of another reason for refusal in his heart. Nowadays, the state of Zhao is in the best, and the master is also a person who knows and uses people. If he does his best, he will inevitably cause the master's father to use it heavily. With his talent, his achievements will not be low, and why do he have to go to the poor Yan Kingdom?
Ji Zhi's reason for listening to Le Yi. He can't help showing deep disappointment and silent for a long time before laughing; "Since it's for filial piety, it's really natural. However, although you and I can't be friends with each other, it doesn't prevent us from becoming friends, don't you think?"
Le Yi looked grateful and said deeply, "This is natural."
