Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 207 The Cape, Ying Zheng's Gaze
"Miss Nongyu, where did he go?"

"Go do what he's supposed to do."

"I remember that Miss Yan Lingji's master is Tianze, right?"

"What do you mean, Miss Nongyu? It wasn't us who kidnapped you back then, but the Blood-Clad Marquis."

"I know, what I mean is, now that things have come to this, shouldn't the young lady go back and check on things?"

"There's no need for you to worry about that, Miss."

Watching Yan Lingji's departing figure, Nongyu gently shook her head. After all, she had been in contact with Yan Lingji for almost a year.

She had a pretty good idea of ​​what kind of person this girl was. Given the current situation in South Korea, it would be strange if Yan Lingji could remain calm.

"This must be what you meant by saying one thing but meaning another, young master?"

Mo Ya crossed his arms over his chest, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It would be best if Miss Nongyu didn't provoke her. She's much stronger than us. If she were to beat us up, that would be terrible."

Nongyu's eyes sparkled, and she covered her mouth with a smile.

"Mr. Mo Ya, you flatter me. I was just reminding her. Besides, Nongyu didn't mean anything by it. After all, those people have no connection to Nongyu. Whether they live or die, she might be the only one who gets hurt in the end."

"However, I remember that Mr. Mo Ya also has a close friend in the Nightfall. Now that South Korea is on the verge of collapse, doesn't Mr. Mo Ya want to lend him a hand?"

Mo Ya narrowed his eyes. In the past year or so, they had not been idle. The enormous wealth brought by the white paper and refined salt gave them enough confidence to spread their intelligence network to every corner of the seven kingdoms.

Therefore, they were able to obtain accurate information about the movements of the seven kingdoms in the first instance.

cape.

This is the name of the organization they founded. In fact, Nongyu played a part in the name. She had read a beautiful phrase in a book—"the ends of the earth"—and after discussing it, they took the last two characters as the name of the intelligence organization.

After a while, Mo Ya gently shook his head.

“He has his own path to follow, and besides, if he wants to leave, the Qin army can’t stop him.”

Upon hearing this, Nongyu remained silent. In front of her was a table with a pot of fragrant tea. The young woman gently lifted her hand and poured the tea from the pot into a cup. Watching the tender leaves swirling and gradually sinking to the bottom of the cup, she invited, "Mr. Moya, would you like to try this year's Bi Tan Piao Xue?"

Mo Ya glanced at the tea on the table, showing no interest whatsoever. He then took out a small bottle from his pocket and shook it in his hand.

"Those things are more suitable for you girls. As for me, this is much better!"

Seemingly knowing what Mo Ya was holding, Nong Yu gently shook her head upon seeing it.

"The young master once said that although wine is good, it should not be drunk in excess, as drinking can easily lead to mistakes."

Mo Ya chuckled.

"Don't worry, Miss Nongyu, I know what I'm doing."

"."

In the spacious room, several copper bells hung in front of the door, and a series of clear bell sounds echoed when the wind blew.

A moment later, a girl stepped in from outside.

"Sister Nongyu, has the young master left the mountain?"

"Hmm~"

"Leaving now? Xiaomeng's competition is tomorrow."

"Young Master said the outcome is already decided, so it doesn't matter whether he's here or not."

Upon hearing this answer, Ni Chang's eyes flickered uncertainly.

She couldn't quite understand Master Xiaomeng. He had only just entered the Grandmaster realm a little over a month ago, so he shouldn't be her match. But the last time she went up the mountain, she sensed immense pressure emanating from him.

It was just like the feeling she had when she first met that boy. She knew all too well what it meant that Xiu Yuan had subdued her with just one move.

"Those two, brother and sister, are absolutely monsters."

Hearing Ni Chang's complaints, Mo Ya's eyes also showed a bit of emotion. He had seen many geniuses among the seven kingdoms, but none like Qing Xu and Xiao Meng.

Take Master Xiaomeng for example. He was no match for her for a long time. In particular, the Taoist Heavenly Sect's ultimate technique, "Heaven and Earth Lose Color," was a natural counter to her, and she had no way to deal with it.

“I heard from Mrs. Li that your younger sister is also from South Korea, and it seems that you have a relative there. Why don’t you go to South Korea to visit her this time?”

Ni Chang then picked up the teacup on the table, drank the tea in it in one gulp, and then put the cup back in its original place.

Upon hearing this, Nongyu lowered her eyelids. She naturally knew who Ni Chang was referring to.

However, now is not the best time. At this moment, Xinzheng is probably in a state of high alert and without sufficient strength, it is impossible to enter.

"Sister Ni Chang, it's not time yet."

On an official road in the Qin state, a young man was walking several feet at a time, heading towards Xianyang City.

The other person was dressed in a light green robe, with a handsome face and an otherworldly air. Even though he was traveling at a fast pace, he didn't even pant, and his steps were light, like a celestial being.

At that moment, he was carrying a wooden sword on his back, and in a few breaths he disappeared at the end of the ancient road.

Xianyang City, Xianyang Palace.

A man dressed in a black dragon robe looked at the intelligence report in his hand, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice to a pillar to the side, "Mr. Gai, my confidant will arrive in Xianyang in two days."

A short while later, a figure emerged from the shadows and said in a calm tone, "Is Your Majesty referring to the Ninth Prince of Han?"

The man reached out and touched the sword at his waist, which was much longer than a regular bronze sword, and said leisurely, "I still remember what Han Fei said back then: he wanted ninety-nine out of the seven kingdoms."

The other person stood still for a moment, then said softly, "Han Fei's talent is rare in the world. Looking at the seven kingdoms, there are probably only a handful of people who can compare to this ninth prince of Han."

Upon hearing the other party's evaluation of Han Fei, the man in the black dragon robe swayed slightly on the crown on his head. He then looked at the other party and asked with great curiosity, "Mr. Gai said that there are only a handful of people in the Seven Kingdoms who can rival Han Fei. In other words, Mr. Gai believes that there are people in the Seven Kingdoms who can rival Han Fei. I am curious, who are these people who have earned Mr. Gai's approval?"

Just then, a voice came from outside the main hall.

"Your Majesty, Chancellor Li Si requests an audience!!"

Before receiving an answer from the other party, the King of Qin spoke with some impatience, then said coldly, "Let him wait!"

Upon hearing this, the man beside him sighed softly.

"Your Majesty, it's very likely that Lord Li Si's request for an audience at this time is due to some important matter." The man waved his hand.

“Mr. Gai comes from Guigu, is very knowledgeable, and has the ability to judge people. I would like to know who has caught your eye.”

Mr. Gai refers to Gai Nie, and the king is none other than the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng.

Seeing that Ying Zheng seemed very interested in the question, Gai Nie remained silent for a moment before revealing his answer.

"Han Fei was a student of the Confucian scholar Xunzi, and he also combined Legalist thought with new ideas, so he can be called the great synthesizer of Legalist thought."

"In dealing with the current chaotic world, such an idea is an invincible sword. In Your Majesty's opinion, no one can compare with it. But in my opinion, an idea is just an idea, and there is no distinction between high and low. However, it is suitable for the current world."

“My master, Mr. Guigu, once taught my junior brother and me that sometimes there is no right or wrong in a matter. When looking at the same thing from different perspectives, the conclusions drawn may be different.”

"Therefore, from Gai's perspective, there are several people in the world who can rival this ninth prince of Korea."

Ying Zheng nodded, then said, "I would like to hear the details!"

"Li Mu, the great general and military genius of Zhao, is said to have recently broken through to the Grandmaster level, and defeated the Xiongnu so that they dared not set foot in the Central Plains. He is known as the Wolf Hunter by the Wolf Clan."

Ying Zheng had heard of this great general of Zhao. Whether in terms of personal combat strength or the ability to lead troops into battle, he was one of the best among the seven states.

"Xiang Yan, a veteran general of Chu, was nearly as talented as Li Mu. The main obstacle to Qin's eastward expansion came from this Chu general, and his influence was definitely greater than that of Han."

Ying Zheng clenched his fists behind his back. Xiang Yan was indeed a formidable opponent, even for him.

Furthermore, the Xiang clan behind him effectively controlled the entire Chu state, making the current King Mi Fuchu at best a puppet ruler.

The other party plotted to massacre the royal family of Chu, which displeased Xiang Yan and strained their relationship.

"Besides these two officials, there are several others who are out of office."

Gai Nie didn't stop talking. After mentioning these two people, he then talked about people in the martial arts world.

"The leader of the Yin-Yang School, Donghuang Taiyi, the master of the Daoist School, Beimingzi, and the Confucian Master Xun are all figures who have carved out their own path in their respective fields. In my opinion, their talents are in no way inferior to Han Fei's; they are simply in different fields!"

“What Mr. Gai said is true, but it seems that you have overlooked one person.”

Gai Nie tightened his grip on his longsword. Among the seven kingdoms, besides these famous figures, there was indeed another person whose influence in the martial arts world was currently very strong.

This person had also met with Ying Zheng in Xinzheng, South Korea.

"Master Qingxu of the Taoist Tianzong School."

This time, Ying Zheng spoke the name of that person on behalf of Gai Nie. The shock he felt for that young boy was no less than that for Han Fei.

He had a feeling that the other party's vision and perspective were far broader than he had imagined.

However, after that young man defeated a thousand troops with a single sword in Shouying City of Chu, he disappeared from the martial arts world. According to the intelligence feedback from the recent investigation by Luo Wang, Qingxu has returned to Taiyi Mountain to begin his secluded cultivation.

"Unfortunately, he is a member of the Taoist Tianzong sect."

After a while, Ying Zheng sighed softly. The young man was a Taoist. Otherwise, he would have found a way to summon him.

What impressed Gai Nie most about Qing Xu was not how strong he was, but his analysis of the world situation and his consideration of the world's overall structure.

"His ideas are destined to be unacceptable to the world, unless the existing system is completely destroyed and everything is started from scratch, there may be some possibility of success."

Following Ying Zheng's side, Gai Nie has experienced more and more things over the years, and they have become increasingly complex. Many times, he has been examining what is right and what is wrong for a country.

The Qin state today has neither the conditions nor the ability to realize the world depicted by that boy.

So even though they knew the plan might be right, they were powerless to stop it.

"According to the intelligence from Luo Wang, there's a 70% chance that the blank paper and refined salt came from Qing Xu. It's hard to imagine how many secrets he's hiding."

This was the first time Ying Zheng had encountered a situation where he couldn't understand a young man.

“Li Si and Han Fei are from the same school. He is not as magnanimous as one might imagine towards his former senior brother. If the king wants to give Han Fei an important position, there may be obstacles on Li Si’s side.”

"Furthermore, as the ninth prince of the state of Han, Han Fei has a natural position. Now that the states of Qin and Han are at war, even if the king were to meet him, he might not be willing to offer advice to the state of Qin."

Ying Zheng sighed.

Gai Nie was actually aware of what he was talking about. He admired Han Fei more than anything, but he also had a sliver of hope. If Han Fei could really put aside his class prejudices, he might be able to let Han Fei display his talents in Qin. With Han Fei's help, he was confident that he could end this chaotic world in ten years at most.

At the Yin-Yang School's headquarters, Donghuang Taiyi seemed to have seen something, and his tone became somewhat strange.

"Interesting changes."

On the side, Yan Fei also seemed to have seen something, and her eyes showed a hint of surprise.

When faced with the same situation, Donghuang simply said "interesting," while Yanfei seemed somewhat surprised.

"Your Majesty, should we stop them?"

"It's no use. The stars have changed, which means that the future has changed. Even if we interfere, it won't make a difference."

Yan Fei frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Han Fei's entry into Qin marked the beginning of the end of this war, and the general trend of the world began from then on. Did that person's actions disrupt the order of Heaven?"

Donghuang Taiyi stood for a while, then spoke again: "The overall situation has not changed. He did not change the overall situation; he merely saved him."

"Can Your Majesty confirm who this person is?"

"After five hundred years of war, the world was awakened by his arrival. The secrets of heaven were obscured, and everything was shrouded in mystery. It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to find out his identity through astrology."

"The Yan state is the path you need to take."

"But I've found a better option!"

Confucianism, Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

When Xunzi heard the news that Han Fei had gone to Qin, he sighed softly.

He had consulted the oracle for his student several times back then, but each divination showed that Han Fei had an insurmountable obstacle in the Qin state.

Now that his disciple has gone to Qin, it seems that everything is beyond repair.

"Human nature is both evil and good; what is the true path for humanity?"

"Han Fei, this time, I'm afraid I can't help you!"
