Ever since Jing Ke and his men met the mysterious old man outside Puyang City, they had never encountered any strange and bizarre things. The situation of the Qin's army pressing down on the land was urgent, and matters of cooperation should not be delayed. Therefore, Jing Ke led Gong Huorong, Du Sanniang, Thief, Zhu Hai and the others as they rushed towards Wei Daliang without stopping.

Ever since Zhao Xiangzi, Wei Hengzi, and Han Gengzi were divided into three ranks, the Marquis of Wei Wu, Li Xuanzi, and Wu Qi, became the ruler of the Central Plains. It was a pity that most of Wei's elites were killed by Sun Pai and Bai Qi in the battle of Ma Ling and Yi Que later on. As a result, the country's influence gradually declined, and by the time Wei Jingxian became king, he had already fallen into an era of decline. It could be said that the country did not have any good ministers or soldiers, and so much so that the Qin had compressed the territories of the Wei Kingdom to a remote corner. On top of that, since the South Korean had bowed down to the enemy, the Qin army had pressed down on Wei Guoyang Zhuo and Zhengcheng. If Qin were to send out troops to attack Wei, they would be able to reach Wei Guoduo's main pillars in less than three days. Therefore, right now, the State of Wei was just like an antelope that had encountered a fierce tiger, not daring to covet it.

Gao Jianli suggested that Jing Ke allow Wei, not only because Wei Guo had the advantage in geographical location, but also because Wei Guo was actually the hardest power to establish among the five countries. Only by eating this bone, which was the hardest to bite, would the other countries take advantage of this opportunity. But how could Jing Ke know that within the country of Wei, there were not just those sages who fought alongside Su Li's group of masters, but also those greedy scoundrels like Wei Xiang and Wei Qi, the Chinese doctor Xu Jia.

In fact, to Thief Sheng, Zhu Hai, Mao Yun, and Xue Lun, this trip to the Wei Kingdom could be said to be a revisit. At first, they had left Wei Country because they had lost their confidence in the current people in power in Wei Country. Now, they did not want to follow Jing Ke to pretend to be a grandson, even more so because they hated the fact that Xuya and Wei Qi were deceitful and deceitful people like them. The reason he had been talking so much on purpose was not just because he was tired from the journey, but because his feelings for Wei Chen were like a thorn in his side and would not leave him.

"Since an envoy from the Yan Kingdom has arrived, Jia Jia will send someone to report to the Prime Minister. There is no need to put in too much effort in gathering troops." After hearing the attendant's report, the doctor, Xu Jia, didn't care about the visit from Jing Ke and his men and spoke coldly. In Xu Jia's eyes, the current nation of Wei was only ruled by Wei Qi, so the first thing he thought of was not Wei Jing or Wang, but the Prime Minister Wei Qi.

After the waiter had reported the news to Xujia, Jing Ke and his men waited for a long time inside the Wei Kingdom Stadium. However, no one came to greet them. A wave of resentment immediately rose in the hearts of Thief and his men.

"I knew that the Wei Kingdom is filled with people who forget their own profits and benefits. They only care about the background of the duke and ignore all the martial artists around them. I had already advised them not to come here to make a fool of themselves. Look, it has happened." At this moment, he began to grumble again.

"Back then, the Wei clan had ignored our young master, causing him to die of depression. Now that the situation has come to this, he is still so indifferent and slow. If the heavens do not destroy his country, then what is wrong with him?" Mao Yun had been feeling depressed for a long time, so he too complained.

Jing Ke knew that the four of them had their complaints about the imperial court rules of the Wei Kingdom. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given up their wealth and wealth to enjoy it, preferring to stay in the underworld and become martial artists of the Jianghu. Although he was a son of the Mo family and had a lot of insidious ideas, he was helpless in the face of such a situation. The entire Wei Nation was filled with gluttonous and incompetent people, and Gao Jianli was the one who tried to force him to stand for the first time, causing him to secretly complain.

Grandpa Thief Shen, don't be angry. You've already been exhausted from watching you run all the way here, but it's much better to be able to rest in this place now than to have to endure all the hardships of the journey. Besides, this place is full of wine and food. It was still Gong Zhuang Rong who saw everything. With just a simple "eat him to your heart's content", she had dissipated much of the anger she felt from Thief. Instead, she turned her attention to the food on the table.

"What the young lady said is reasonable. Since King Wei wants to treat me slowly, why should I treat myself slowly?" With a stride, he leapt towards the table, picked up a jug of wine and poured it onto his back. With a gulp, he drank most of the wine in the jug. After drinking it up, he exhaled a long breath of alcohol, but he didn't seem to be satisfied. He grabbed the melon fruit on the plate and began to wolf it down.

At this time, Zhu Hai and the others were also starving. Seeing that he was in high spirits, they could not help but walk towards the table and also picked up some food to eat together with him. Only Du Sanniang and Gongsheng Rong were women after all. They paid attention to their appearance and appearance, so they didn't rush forward with them.

As he ate and drank, he released his voice and shouted loudly, "Today is the day of wine, and today is the day of wine. Don't let the dogs look down on you." Brother Great, why don't you have a good time too? " After drinking another jug of alcohol, he shouted at Jing Ke.

Although Jing Ke liked the feeling of being overflowing with joy, but he was now a son of the Mo family, and also an envoy of Yan Kingdom, how could he not have some form of etiquette and discipline? Just as he was about to wave his hand and shirk away, he suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Who said I, Wei Chen, was a vicious dog?"

Upon hearing these words, Jing Ke was sure that it was the envoys from the Wei Kingdom who came to welcome them, and immediately became flustered, hurriedly stepping forward to hold down the unruly Thief Sheng, at the same time winking at Zhu Hai and the others, signalling them to pay attention to their own actions.

As the person spoke, he had already entered the house and met Jing Ke and the others. He then cupped his fist and said with a bow: "Doctor Su Li of the Wei Country has come to welcome the distinguished guests of Yan Nation." This person had a sense of propriety with every move he made and seemed to be very familiar with the etiquette of the country.

When Jing Ke saw that man's sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, his eyes revealed a clear and bright Qi. However, he was not a mediocre person, so he immediately stood up and greeted, "Yan Guo's ambassador Jing Ke brought a bunch of people to pay their respects to Doctor Su."

"I've let the distinguished guests wait for a long time. I hope you can forgive me for any inconvenience." Su Li saw Jing Ke and apologized profusely.

"My son is not only the chief of the Pill Sword Alliance but also an envoy of the Yan Kingdom. He has come to protect the country from the strong Qin. How dare you neglect such an important matter? You have reported for so long, yet no one has heard from you. How can it not be annoying?" Seeing that there was finally someone who came to receive him, the resentment that he felt naturally rose again. Therefore, he used the alcohol to shout towards Su Li.

"Please calm your anger esteemed guests, I naturally do not dare to slight Qin Zheng. It's just that my Emperor has been ill for a long time and has been bedridden for a long time, so he is unable to speak. As such, all matters are temporarily handled by Prime Minister Wei, who has been busy with government affairs for the past few days." Su Li saw the sharp-tongued drunk guy questioning him in front of him, so he started to explain.

"Oh? Yet, King Wei is seriously ill? " When Jing Ke heard about the Wei Wang's illness, he was shocked at first, but soon after, he felt a sense of desolation. He thought to himself to Gao Jianli: Brother Gao, ah, Brother Gao, how could you have never thought that something like this would happen?

That's right, so I hope that you esteemed guests will forgive me, "Su Li said as he bowed to Jing Ke and the others, and then continued," For the time being, please follow me to King Wei's sleeping quarters.

"Then I'll trouble Doctor Su with everything." Jing Ke raised his hand in return, following which he brought Thief and co. along with Su Li straight towards the Wei Kingdom Palace.

Actually, after Jia Xiang received the report from the attendant, he did not inform anyone, and only headed straight for the Wei and Qi Mansion. It had been a long time since the servants of that house had received any foreign envoys. They knew that the Yan Kingdom's envoys would definitely come this time and would not be trifled with.

Su Li was a descendant of the Zongheng family after he became the Prime Minister of the Su Qin generation. Gao Jianli had once said that there was a group of officials in the Wei Empire who advocated cooperation, and he was talking about people led by Su Li. Su Li already hated Wei Qi, Xujia, and the others for colluding together to harm the current dynasty's young master, Wei Wuji, who had received a heavy bribe from the Qin State. Therefore, in the current dynasty of Wei, due to their different political opinions and interests, they were categorically divided into two parties. One of them was the main faction of Qin with Wei Qi and Xu Jia as the leaders, while the other was the faction of war with Su Li as the leader. However, ever since Wei Wuji had been ostracized by Wei Qi, the main combat faction had always been at a disadvantage. Wei Jing and Wang had almost obeyed Wei Qi's words. So this time, the Yan Kingdom had sent a secret envoy with a joint position to the Wei Kingdom. Su Li was naturally overjoyed, and he wanted to make use of this opportunity to hurt Wei Jing and Wang Li, hoping that they would be able to achieve a joint position.

When Jing Ke and his men followed Su Li to the Wei's palace without stopping, they saw that there was already a luxurious carriage standing outside the palace gate. The carriage shaft was pulled by a rein, and the formation was very impressive. This carriage was not much weaker than the golden dragon carriage of the King of Wei, so it was naturally the carriage of the Prime Minister Wei Qi. When Su Li saw the emperor's carriage, he knew Wei Qi was one step ahead of him. Thus, he had already started to think of ways to report to Wei Wang, hoping that the plan would work out in one fell swoop.

"Senior doctor, Su Li, audience ?" With a loud shout from the palace maid, Su Li and the others stepped into the palace of King Wei Jingshi. Indeed, when they saw that Wei Qi, Xujia, and the others had long since stood at the sides of Prince Wei's bed, it seemed that they had long since been completely prepared, ready to take on Su Li, Jing Ke, and the rest.

"This humble subject, Su Li, has led the envoy of Yan Kingdom to request the King's presence." Su Li arrived in front of the Duke of Wei's bed and raised his hand to report the news.

However, when the King of Wei heard Su Li's report, he only managed to turn his body with great difficulty and casually uttered a few words that were extremely faint, as if they had already been broken by air. It was impossible to clearly hear what he had said, as if he had words to say, but he could not clearly say them, or perhaps it was simply a few words that he had muddled up in his dream. However, there was still some color on his face, so he should be fine. It must be a sign of internal deficiency.

"The king had a relapse last night, and is now lying on the side. I'm afraid that he is still unable to speak." At this time, Xu Jia who was at the side saw that Su Li seemed to be confused, so he explained from the side.

"Recurrent disease? Yesterday at noon, the king was still well. The imperial physician had also made it clear that the king's illness would recover in a few days' time. When Su Li heard Qiu Jia's explanation, he immediately became more suspicious.

He could only sneak a glance at Wei Qi in hopes that Wei Qi would be able to speak up and help him out.

"This matter happened too suddenly, and I had just found out about it. That's why I came to the palace in such a hurry." At this moment, Wei Qi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. However, he didn't even glance at Chuja and only used very ordinary words to discuss the matter. It seemed like he wanted to tell everyone that this was the truth and that he couldn't have the slightest bit of doubt.

"Where's the imperial physician from yesterday?" You passed the message earlier than I did! " Of course, Su Li didn't believe Wei Qi's excuse, because he knew full well that the reason Wei Qi had come this time was because Xujia leaked the news, which was why he rushed back to the palace in order to gain the initiative. Thus, he loudly shouted for the imperial physician to be passed on to him in order to verify Wei Qi's words.

"This bunch of mediocre people from the Grand Hospital only know how to use the wind to make the best use of it. They can't do anything anymore, they're currently discussing how to treat him in the rear hall." At this moment, another voice came from the surroundings. Although this voice was heard very clearly, it still sounded extremely cold, as if it were not a living person's voice. "I've already ordered this group of idiots to look up the Medicine Encyclopedia. They will definitely save the life of the king, otherwise, don't even think of leaving this palace alive!"

"Who is this old mister?" At this moment, Jing Ke, who was standing at the side, heard this person's words to be extremely weird, as if it was a little special. With regards to people like Wei Qi and Xu Jia, he could naturally see the appearance of officials, but this person was different, thus he couldn't help but curiously ask Su Li.

"Oh, this is the Imperial Tutor that the King worships. He has many talents, is able to distinguish the sun, the moon, and the stars, and is able to speak as much about heaven and earth as he can. He is also known as' Sky Spill '." When Su Li heard Jing Ke unintentionally ask about it, he answered without thinking. Moreover, his tone was filled with respect for Mister Tian Yan.

"Since the Imperial Tutor has put in so much effort to settle this matter, then I shall leave the king's illness to you, Mister Tianyan." After Su Li answered Jing Ke's question, he said respectfully to Mr. Tian Yan.

"Doctor Su, rest assured, this old man will definitely keep a close eye on this matter." Not only that, his words were filled with a strong sense of advantage, and even Wei Qi was not as good as him.

"Since the king is not fit to receive Yan Guo's envoy today, I shall temporarily welcome them in my place. But, may I know what your names are?" When Wei Qi saw that Su also agreed to talk about Tianyan's words, he temporarily put aside the matter of Wei Jing Wang's illness and then inquired about Jing Ke's group.

"Oh, I'm Jing Ke, under the orders of King Yan, I've come to the Wei Country to discuss and reject Qin Guan's grand plan." Hearing Wei Qi's question, Jing Ke hurriedly introduced himself.
