People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

That would be fine, but the most crucial point is that the Corpse God Curse Gu can cause a person's internal energy to disappear for twelve hours after biting them, but its powder is different.

If an excessive amount of powder is ingested, the medicinal properties will gradually accumulate in the meridians.

Then, those who know about it can use special methods to control the body.

He only learned of this secret after he happened to read the "Medicine Book".

Even if he had seen it, he wouldn't have noticed if he hadn't taken it without realizing it.

"It seems you know what to do." The Moon Goddess said slowly, "As long as you accomplish this, the elixir of immortality will be yours, and I can also help you become a protector of the Yin-Yang School."

"There's one more thing I can tell you first: I can break through to the Grandmaster level at any time."

Xu Fu was taken aback. A grandmaster?

He thought for a moment, feeling that the chances of success were not small, and gritted his teeth, "Your subordinate obeys, Lady Moon Goddess."

The Moon Goddess smiled slightly and calmly left the alchemy room.

The sect leader should blame himself for favoring his senior sister. If he hadn't, things wouldn't have turned out this way...

Cao Ze took the pills given to him by Xu Fu and went to Xuan Jian's residence.

He was determined to get the Eight Linglong!

……

Chapter 412 Hu Ji: Heading South to Herd Horses!

The northern nomadic lands.

The vast grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, with gently rolling hills that resemble green waves on the sea.

A person dressed in black walked alone here, as insignificant as a sesame seed on the earth.

He traveled thousands of miles and finally arrived at the royal court on the grassland.

Han Xin traveled several dozen miles, but even with his near-master-level strength, he still couldn't resist the exhaustion deep within his body after trekking for thousands of miles day and night.

As he approached the sprawling camp, a towering flagpole, six zhang tall, stood reaching for the sky, as if it were about to pierce the heavens.

The black flag was inscribed with a magnificent Qin Dynasty seal script character for "wolf" written in wolf's blood.

Han Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Under the bright sunshine, the huge flag fluttered in the wind, its black surface and blood-red seal script exuding an awe-inspiring majesty and chilling aura.

Along his journey, he heard countless stories about the various reforms implemented by the wolf clan.

That Hu Ji queen, with her iron-fisted methods, swept across the vast grasslands, and after her failed attempt to invade the Zhao border, she worked diligently to rebuild the country.

First, they standardized the writing system, using the Qin Dynasty's Great Seal script as a template, and forcefully ordered all tribes to use it. As a result, two major tribes disappeared into the annals of history.

After that, they went westward, conquering more than a dozen small countries in the west, using war to sustain themselves and make up for the losses caused by years of bloodshed on the grasslands.

They've just begun to recover...

"Who goes there?!"

A small squad of wolf scouts blocked Han Xin's path.

Han Xin said hoarsely, "Take me to see Her Majesty the Queen."

A golden token was thrown out of thin air at the scout, causing the wolf squad to stir and draw their scimitars, shouting loudly.

"stop!"

The scout captain held the token and looked up.

He had a large nose, curly hair, dark skin, and a thick, bushy beard that stretched from his cheeks to his temples. He was a black man from Kunlun, but he had never been neutered, which was why he had such a thick beard.

Han Xin carefully observed these scouts.

There were wolf-like people with sunken eye sockets and pale yellow pupils, and also people resembling the Indians described in Cao Ze's "Journey to the West"...

He was secretly alarmed.

Where exactly did this wolf queen conquer to gather such a foreign army?

"People of the Central Plains, follow me!"

The black scout captain respectfully returned the gold medal to Han Xin.

This is one of the hundred gold medals that Her Majesty the Queen specially distributed. Anyone who can hold this gold medal can face the Queen directly.

Countless warriors yearn to win a gold medal to meet the Queen, hoping to gain her favor and become a general commanding an army and conquering all directions.

Han Xin silently put away the token. He had obtained it from a burly man after hearing about it. That man was quite strong; he could kill a mad yak with brute force alone.

He followed the black scout into the military camp. Although he could not move around freely, he carefully assessed the war potential of the wolf clan.

He left the state of Han, intending to seek help from the state of Zhao, but he inadvertently learned about the alliance of the three Jin states and discovered that the Quicksand was secretly investigating his whereabouts.

He had no choice but to abandon his attempt to leverage the situation and leave for another country.

The situation in South Korea is largely settled, and it has nothing to do with him anymore.

But he is never one to give up easily.

After accidentally learning of the rumor that the Wolf Queen had once sent troops to the border of Zhao just to get a man, she found it amusing, but instinctively gathered some information about the Wolf Clan.

He finally decided to come to the grasslands to see if he still had any hope of fighting his way back.

After years of weathering the wind and sand on the grassland, the large tent made of cowhide looked old and weathered.

Han Xin stood before the king's tent.

Having traveled this far, we have seen more than 400 tents. Based on our observations, each tent holds about seven to nine people, so the number of soldiers should exceed 3,000.

Most importantly, these soldiers were able to obey orders without question and remained unusually silent.

They were clearly seasoned veterans, elite soldiers.

A glimpse of the leopard reveals the whole leopard; if such elite troops can be trained to be so formidable, then ordinary soldiers are unlikely to be far inferior.

After the black scout left the royal tent, he went straight away.

A lithe woman dressed in animal skins with bare thighs walked out.

She wore a row of wolf teeth on her forehead, had a high nose and deep-set eyes, three-dimensional features, and a slender and sexy figure.

"A person from the Central Plains? Ha, that's quite rare."

Nuomin said directly, "Give me the weapon."

Han Xin shrugged. "How could I dare bring weapons when meeting Her Majesty the Queen?"

Nomin sneered, "Her Majesty the Queen said that you Central Plains people are treacherous, cunning, despicable, and shameless. Do you think I would believe you?"

"Men, search the place!"

A black man and a white man stepped forward and reached out to touch Han Xin's shoulder.

Han Xin frowned, but did not resist, allowing them to search him.

Her Majesty the Queen seems to have a deep-seated prejudice against the people of the Central Plains, which is not good news for him.

"Captain, no weapons were found."

Nuomin glanced at Han Xin and said, "Come in."

When Han Xin entered the king's tent, the first thing he saw was a woman sitting quietly reading books on the main seat.

It was completely different from the image he had heard about in the Central Plains.

This is no beautiful enchantress, she is clearly a valiant queen.

The woman was wearing a snow-white wolf fur cloak, revealing light and breathable soft armor underneath, and a felt hat made from the fur under the armpits of a snow fox.

Two years of military service brought about a complete transformation in her, a profound change inside and out.

Nuomin looked at Hu Ji with admiration and awe.

"Your Majesty, the man from the Central Plains has been brought here."

The woman seemed not to hear her and continued reading her book, which was titled "Centralization and Productivity," a book that a merchant from the Central Plains had recently brought back from China.

It is said that Cao Ze wrote this two years ago while lecturing in Handan, the capital of Zhao.

She has watched it more than ten times, and combined with her experiences over the past two years, it has given her a lot of insights.

While her elder sister guarded the royal city, she led her army to conquer all directions. Although the resources she obtained were extremely abundant, it was difficult to convert them into combat power.

Ultimately, the reason is that their wolf clan lacks its own system and relies solely on tribal autonomy, making them inferior to any of the seven kingdoms except for the states of Han and Qi.

If only that man were here...

I wonder how he is doing now...

After a long while, Hu Ji snapped out of her reverie, lost in thought about Cao Ze.

She put down the book and looked down at Han Xin.

"Who are you?"

Han Xin was very patient. When Hu Ji spoke, he smiled and said, "A person who serves the war, Your Majesty may call me... the Man in Black."

"Hehe..." Hu Ji slowly stood up.

Dressed in a deep blue robe, she not only possessed a dignified and elegant demeanor, but also a decisive and capable aura.

Three years have passed since Cao Ze left. She has transformed from a beautiful and innocent young girl into a young woman, becoming the true queen of the grasslands, possessing a more heroic spirit than ordinary men.

"Serving the war, man in black... How dare you speak so arrogantly before me! Aren't you afraid I'll break your legs and throw you onto the grasslands to feed the wolves?"

Hu Ji's face was cold, as if she were about to break Han Xin's legs and throw him out to be fed to the wolves if they disagreed.

Han Xin said slowly, “Your Majesty, I have traveled westward from the Central Plains and observed that although the various tribes of the grasslands all respect the royal court, they are not subject to its control. The royal court seems to be powerful over the grasslands and the west, but the territory it controls is still only a small corner. If any ambitious person secretly forms alliances, I fear that the royal court will be doomed at any time.”

“However, I have a way to help Her Majesty the Queen better control the grasslands, it just depends on whether Her Majesty the Queen is willing to use me.”

The woman laughed, "You came prepared... Where in the Central Plains are you from, and from which family do you study?"

"The South Koreans studied military strategy and knew some methods of warfare."

"A military strategist?" Hu Ji suddenly shouted, startling the dozen or so people in the tent.
