Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

The main hall of the Han King's Palace is hosting another grand court assembly.

"Empress Dowager Xia of Qin was a member of the royal family of my state of Han and also my elder. However, she passed away in Xianyang due to illness. As her junior, I should personally go to Xianyang to pay my respects. However, my status does not allow me to leave Han lightly. Therefore, I am prepared to send an envoy who can represent me to Xianyang to pay respects to Empress Dowager Xia on my behalf."

King Han An's slightly weak voice echoed in the hall, and the ministers on both sides of the throne held their breath, afraid of missing a single word.

After the incident involving King Huai of Chu, everyone knew that going on a diplomatic mission to Qin was not a good thing. If even a powerful ruler like King Huai of Chu could be tricked, how could subjects like them guarantee their safety in Qin?

The Qin state's credibility in this regard has been almost completely ruined by King Zheng's grandfather.

"You may all elect someone to go to Xianyang on my behalf," King Han An continued.

As Han Wang An's voice fell silent, the hall instantly fell silent; no one wanted to take on this task.

King Han looked around the hall helplessly, only to find that all the ministers were lost in thought, as if they had not heard him at all.

He knew that being sent as an envoy to Qin was not a good job, but someone from Han had to go.

South Korea was too weak and had to be very cautious in its diplomatic relations. The sudden death of Queen Dowager Xia severed a connection between South Korea and Xianyang. At this time, sending envoys to Qin was not only to pay respects to Queen Dowager Xia, but also to re-establish another line of communication for South Korea.

This connection doesn't need to be of great use; it only needs to be able to act as a bridge between the King of Han and the King of Qin at crucial moments.

The main hall was quiet; no one wanted to take on this task, except for Yang Che.

Yang Che looked at the silent ministers, but a thought suddenly struck him.

The fact that the Poison Scorpion Sect made a move proves that he has been targeted by Nightfall. If he stays in Xinzheng, the next one to attack him might be Nightfall's Hundred Birds Assassin Group. With his current martial arts skills, he can handle ordinary assassins without any problem, but he would be no match for elite assassins like Mo Ya and Bai Feng.

For Yang Che, his initial mission to Qin was an excellent opportunity to temporarily avoid the fangs of the night and allow him to develop his abilities.

For Yang Che right now, what he needs most is time. Only with enough time to cultivate can he quickly advance to the level of a Xiantian master and gain the ability to protect himself, thanks to the advantages of the Heavenly Demon Strategy.

Moreover, the quest concerning the Flower Sect in the Heavenly Demon Strategy has just entered its third stage.

Task Four (Third Stage): Fame Spreads Throughout the World, Task Progress 0%, Task Reward: Secret Teachings of the Demonic Sect Saint King Mu Qingliu.

Mu Qingliu, as the leader of the Flower Sect, also commands the two sects and six paths of the Demonic Sect. Known as the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect, he is the most famous and strongest among all the leaders of the Flower Sect, second only to the Evil King Shi Zhixuan. In terms of his mastery of Flower Sect martial arts, he may even surpass Shi Zhixuan, who possesses the strengths of both the Flower Sect and the Heaven-Mending Sect. Although he is not a Grandmaster, he is definitely a top-tier Grandmaster.

The secret teachings of a top master, though not necessarily martial arts, are definitely more valuable than any other martial art.

As the strongest state in the world, Qin is the best choice for Yang Che to complete his mission of making the Flower School famous throughout the world. All six states are paying close attention to Qin's every move, and Qin is the best stage for him.

If he could become famous in the Qin state, countless people would pay attention to him and make him famous.

Therefore, whether it was to temporarily avoid the night and gain time to develop, or to learn from Mu Qingliu's secret teachings, Yang Che had a reason to accept the mission to Qin.

For King Han An and Ji Wuye, the Qin state was a treacherous and dangerous place, but for Yang Che, it was a completely different story.

In the ensuing silence, King An of Han's face grew increasingly dark. What kind of people had he been supporting with all that money and resources? When they were lording it over the state of Han, they were all full of vigor and vitality, but when it came time to actually use them, did they just pretend they didn't exist?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Qin Kingdom." Just as King Han An was getting impatient and about to appoint someone, Yang Che volunteered.

"You?" Han Wang'an was somewhat surprised, and then his heart was moved.

While all the officials remained silent, only Yang Che stepped forward.

Yang Che is indeed a very loyal minister! King Han An found Yang Che even more pleasing to the eye. Yang Che had been serving by his side for some time now, and he recognized Yang Che's talent and insight. Now that Yang Che had proven his loyalty, how could such a person not be given an important position?

Compared to Han Wang'an's emotion, the others were shocked, and some even harbored resentment. "Why are we silent, but you've jumped out on your own initiative? Are you the only one who's loyal?"

Only Liu Yi was anxious. Going to Qin? What kind of place is Qin? As everyone knows, Qin is the most unethical place. If Yang Che makes a mistake in Qin, who can help him?

However, now that Yang Che has volunteered, it's too late for him to object, because King Han An has already spoken: "Very well, Minister Yang, you will be the envoy to Qin this time. When you return, I will reward you handsomely."

King An of Han has made up his mind to give Yang Che an important position. As for Yang Che's age, he is a foolish ruler. Isn't it true that foolish rulers do things in a way that doesn't follow the rules?

However, when the King of Qin's grandmother was in mourning, the State of Han sent an imperial censor to the funeral. Although Yang Che's actions were entirely out of loyalty, the censor's status was still too low. If the State of Qin thought that the State of Han did not take the funeral of the Queen Mother of the Xia Dynasty seriously, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

While King Han An was pondering, he spoke again: "Your position as Imperial Censor is a bit too low. There may be some misunderstanding on the Qin side. How about this, from today onwards, you will no longer serve as Imperial Censor. I hereby appoint you as Zhongqing and send you as an envoy to Qin in that capacity."

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor and feudal lords have had ministers, who are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. They are highly respected, and the upper ministers can even be equivalent to the prime ministers, but they do not have specific powers. Yang Che was appointed as a middle minister at a young age and without any merit, which is not appropriate. However, since ministers do not have specific powers, they do not have much influence on the power in the hands of the court officials, so no one voiced any objection.

King Han An's move can be described as "far-sighted". He used the Qin state as a pretext to raise Yang Che's official rank. Once Yang Che came from Qin, he could turn Yang Che's position of Zhongqing into a specific official post.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Yang Che bowed and thanked him, showing no sign of surprise or delight.

He's just a mid-level official. Compared to the whole world, Han is just a place. Let alone a mid-level official in Han, what does even a general of Han amount to?

When the people in the court saw that Yang Che had been appointed as a high-ranking official, they were able to remain calm and scrutinize him again, seeing him as a "favored" person who had entered the court through nepotism.

To be able to remain calm and composed after suddenly attaining such a high position shows how deep his cunning is.

In their eyes, South Korea was everything, but in Yang Che's eyes, South Korea was nothing more than a tiny place, and the so-called power struggle was nothing more than a snail's struggle.
