Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Chapter 748, He was incompetent but not stupid.

The sun sets in the west, and dusk falls.

After seeing off his student Qin Wangzheng, Dong Qing looked at Madam Hu and beckoned her to sit in his lap.

"Do you know who he is?" Dong Qing asked.

"I don't know," Mrs. Hu shook her head.

For the past few hours, she had only done things like serving tea and water. When King Qin Zheng saw her approaching, he basically didn't say anything, and she didn't have the ability to deduce King Qin Zheng's identity.

"King Qin, my student."

Dongqing's tone was very calm, but Madam Hu's heart was far from calm.

“Master... if I remember correctly, this place seems to be Xinzheng in Korea.”

Mrs. Hu took a deep breath; she could hardly believe her ears.

The King of Qin secretly fled to the State of Han.

Moreover, they came to the capital city of Xinzheng.

If Dong Qing, the Qin State's Protector and the current King of Qin's teacher, hadn't said this news himself, she would never have believed it, no matter what. It was simply outrageous.

"Now that the Qin army is pressing in, the destruction of Han is only a matter of Qin's decision. Besides, with me as your teacher, the King of Qin will naturally not encounter any danger."

Dong Qing spoke with great confidence, and he believed that even if he didn't intervene, the current Luo Wang would fight to the death to protect King Zheng of Qin and would never allow the King of Qin to be in any danger.

Things have changed. Many things have changed since Dongqing came into this world. Many people and many things have been influenced and changed by Dongqing, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone knows that Lü Buwei, as the Prime Minister of Qin, wielded immense power and influence, making him a troublesome figure for King Zheng of Qin, a major obstacle that could potentially prevent him from taking control of the government.

They never thought of that.

If Lü Buwei could have assisted King Zheng of Qin as King Zhuangxiang did during his reign, how much more powerful would the Qin state have become?

King Zhuangxiang of Qin was also a wise ruler. Although he did not achieve the same feats as King Zheng of Qin in the future, he laid a solid foundation for King Zheng to unify the six states.

Building upon the legacy of six generations of wise and virtuous rulers, the Qin state transformed into an unprecedented hegemonic power, so powerful that it required the alliance of six other states to resist it.

There is a saying in the later treatise on the Qin dynasty.

When Qin Shi Huang came to power, he built upon the achievements of six generations of Qin rulers, wielded his long-term strategies to govern the world, annexed the two Zhou dynasties and destroyed the feudal lords, ascended to the supreme position and controlled the six directions, his power shaking the four seas.

.......

It will be over soon.

"My lord, Marquis Xueyi has arrived, and he has brought a woman with him," Jingni whispered in Dongqing's ear.

"It seems he hasn't broken his promise. Jingni, come with me and let's go out and take a look." Dong Qing nodded slightly.

He was still very interested in the Fire-Slaying Princess, and his trip to Xinzheng, Han, with King Qin Zheng was largely for her sake.

As for why she's called the Fire-Burning Princess, it's just Dong Qing's wicked sense of humor. He finds the Flame Spirit Princess quite interesting, capable of igniting the flames in a man's heart in every way.

Ordinary people, upon seeing her appearance, are already captivated and unable to extricate themselves. Without extremely strong willpower, they could be turned into walking corpses at any time by her fire charm.

at the same time.

Has this mansion changed owners?

A mysterious woman, nicknamed Fire-starter, whose real name is Flame Spirit Princess.

She gazed curiously at the brand-new, gilded characters above the mansion's gate. Being illiterate, she couldn't recognize a single word, but she knew what place this was.

In her memory, this place was the residence of Liu Yi, the Left Sima of the State of Han, just a few days ago. She never expected that it would have a new owner after only a few days.

“A master you would never dare to dream of in your entire life,” said Bai Yifei, the Snow-Clad Marquis, calmly.

"Hmph, so what if he's a man? What's there to be afraid of? Once he's hooked up with you, he'll turn around and talk bad about you." Yan Lingji sneered.

"Do you think you're important? You're just a prisoner now, and even if you attract his attention, given his status, he won't care much about you."

Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei's tone remained calm. He didn't think Dong Qing would be bewitched by Yan Lingji, because at Dong Qing's level, he had basically seen all kinds of women.

"It can't be an old man, can it?"

Yan Lingji's voice carried a hint of disdain. She knew that she had been given away by Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei, to a powerful figure whom even Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei dared not provoke.

But if she were given to an old man, she would commit suicide without hesitation, immolating herself, because she simply could not accept being defiled by an old man.

Yan Lingji understood very well that with her beauty, she was destined to become a plaything of the powerful and wealthy of the seven kingdoms, otherwise she wouldn't have been imprisoned in the water dungeon for so long.

He had been imprisoned in the water dungeon because they hadn't found a buyer yet.

Now......

Yan Lingji gritted her teeth inwardly. She decided to see who this important figure was who even Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei couldn't handle, and whether she could indirectly control this man.

"He is very young."

As Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei spoke, he looked at Dong Qing, who was walking towards him. Noticing Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei's gaze, Yan Lingji also looked at Dong Qing curiously.

This man... is quite good-looking... not bad-looking at all, not bad-looking either, Han Fei...

Thanks to Dong Qing's adaptable nature, Yan Ling Ji had a very good first impression of him.

It even felt absurd that being given to Dongqing by Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

"Is it her?" Dong Qing asked, feigning doubt.

"It's her." Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei nodded.

“Very good, Jingni, take her down for questioning.”

Dong Qing glanced calmly at Yan Lingji, ignoring the enticing look in the demon's eyes, and then ordered Jing Ni to take her down to interrogate her about the assassination attempt on the Qin envoy.

While it's true that Fire Girl was Dong Qing's goddess of Chinese animation back when he was still on Earth in the Super God Universe, he wouldn't lower himself to fawn over her just for that.

"She doesn't want to be with her..."

Before Yan Lingji could finish speaking, Jing Ni grabbed her by the back of the neck and carried her away. Facing Jing Ni, whose strength now far surpassed that of a Heavenly-level assassin, Yan Lingji had no power to resist.

“Dongzi, if you’re only doing this for interrogation, you might as well hand her back to me,” said Bai Yifei, the Snow-Clad Marquis.

"She has her own issues to explain," Dong Qing waved his hand.

joke.

I've already got the Firestarter.

You actually want to go back?

Dude, I can't even dream as much as you!

“In that case, if there’s nothing else, Dongzi, I won’t bother you any longer,” said Bai Yifei, the Snow-Clad Marquis, bowing.

"Goodbye, don't bother seeing me off." Dong Qing waved his hand.

Done.

Dong Qing turned and left without even exchanging pleasantries with Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei, leaving the most powerful figure in the Korean forces standing outside the mansion.

Unlike before.

At this moment, Bai Yifei, the Snow-Clad Marquis, felt neither uncomfortable nor humiliated. He only felt that Dong Qing was a bit strange, with an indescribable strangeness.

This man is definitely a womanizer; otherwise, there would be no reason for him to specifically ask for Yan Lingji. This woman's main purpose is to be a kept woman for the powerful and wealthy.

"You've gone after Yan Lingji, but you've even targeted Liu Yi's widow who died not long ago. It seems your weakness is written all over your face."

As Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei watched Dong Qing's receding figure, these words silently came to mind. Just now, he had seen the indelible blush on Madam Hu's face beside Dong Qing.

What does this mean?

Bai Yifei, the Snow-Clad Marquis, knew very well that as an ally of Ji Wuye, the Great General of Han, he often saw women with flushed faces in Ji Wuye's Sparrow Pavilion.

There is.

Because of the flaws in his own cultivation technique, Xueyi Houbai also needs a certain number of beautiful women every year to absorb the pure Yin energy from their bodies to make up for the flaws in his own cultivation technique.

Even as they lay dying, an indelible blush remained on their faces.

......

Several more hours passed.

The night was dark and windy, and the stars shone brightly.

Marquis Bai Yifei did not return to Xueyi Fortress, nor did he go to Ji Wuye's place. Instead, he walked into the palace in a grand manner, intending to find Lady Mingzhu, who was most favored by King Han An, to discuss some important matters.

Don't ask him why he can freely enter and leave the palace.

joke.

Marquis Bai Yifei was a powerful general in charge of 100,000 troops, which was almost the entire military force of Han. If he was unhappy, he could easily shave the heads of everyone in Han.

Not to mention.

Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei was a hereditary nobleman. In terms of status, position, and bloodline, Ji Wuye, a commoner who always wanted to enter the aristocratic class, was not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Han Wang An?

Ji Wuye?

Both of them were merely puppets controlled by Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei. The only person in Korea who truly held sway was Xueyi Hou, who commanded an army of 100,000.

Even Han Fei, the royal prince who was determined to eliminate the Four Fiends of the Night Curtain, never considered targeting Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei.

He knew very well that Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei was finished, which also meant the end of the state of Han. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the country had perished.

these years.

If it weren't for Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei holding on so stubbornly, with 100,000 troops stubbornly resisting the Qin cavalry, Han would have been destroyed by Qin long ago. Did they really think that the Qin army only drank soup and didn't eat meat?

Is it because you don't want to?

That's because we can't eat it.

Of course.

If the Qin state were to take over the Han state, it would certainly not be difficult in terms of strength, but the price it would pay would be very high, and it would easily give the other five states an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

But if Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei were to die, killed by his own people, then the Qin state could easily take over the remaining territory of the Han state.
