Qin Shi: With a superb understanding, he is invincible as soon as he strikes

"But it is also true. If this prince had no value at all, how could Lord Li mobilize the Nightingale elite to bring this prince away from Gai Nie?"

"So, you, Prince Dan, better have some value." Li Si said with a smile.

"Of course, after all, this prince does not want to stay in this secret room forever." Yan Dan also smiled slightly, "But Lord Li, everything has a price."

"As the saying goes, one general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of men."

"King Wu, the only king of the empire, the most trusted brother of His Majesty, has unfathomable martial arts skills. If you want his life, there must be an equal price, which is bait."

"I wonder what Lord Li's bait is?"

"If the bait is not enough, the fish will not take the bait. Lord Li is not thinking of learning from Jiang Taigong, is he?"

"It's nonsense to say that those who are willing will take the bait. How could I be so naive? Nightingale's Nest, what do you, Prince Dan, think of this bait?" Li Si said with a vicious look on his face.

"Oh! Nightingale's Nest, Lord Li is willing to invest such a huge amount of money?" Yan Dan was shocked.

"How can you catch the ferocious wolf if you are unwilling to sacrifice your own son?" said Li Si.

"Lord Li is indeed a man who can accomplish great things. This prince admires him." At this moment, Yan Dan really admired Li Si from the bottom of his heart and cupped his hands to show his respect.

"Prince Dan, there is no need to admire you." Li Si said calmly, "I gave up Nightingale because I wanted to tell you a truth."

"All ears."

"As long as the true form remains the true form, you can have as many nightingales as you want. If the true form is no longer the true form, you will be worse off than a lamb to be slaughtered."

"I understand. So please rest assured, Lord Li. This time, I will not hold back." Yan Dan promised.

"Okay!" Li Si nodded in satisfaction. "In that case, I will also make a promise to you, Prince Dan. The day when the current emperor passes away will be the day for you, Prince Dan, to restore the country."

"You are still the master of the former Yan land."

"Lord Li's promise is indeed enough to tempt this prince." Hearing what he wanted, Yan Dan naturally smiled, "Then, I hope our cooperation will go smoothly."

"I have already paved the way for you. Whether it will be smooth or not depends on you, Prince Dan." Li Si said, "I will never cooperate with a loser for the second time."

"Hahaha, of course. Who wants to believe in a loser?" Yan Dan said with a smile, "But Lord Li, there is one thing I am very curious about. Which future master of this empire have you chosen?"

"Although Fusu is your son-in-law, he is a Confucianist. This is the fundamental reason why you, Lord Li, do not support him. As for Hu Hai, it seems that it is impossible for you, Lord Li, because Luowang is no longer under your command. Which of the remaining princes is it?"

"Or do you, Lord Li, also want to be emperor?"

"My lifelong pursuit is to assist the king. Becoming an emperor is not in my heart. For Your Majesty, I have provided unparalleled assistance and created unprecedented achievements." Li Si spoke slowly.

His tone was calm, but full of pride.

"However, after following Your Majesty for these years, I have come to understand a truth: a subject is always a subject. If the king orders the subject to die, the subject must die."

"So what if I am below one person and above ten thousand people? This head is always cautious and treads on thin ice, not daring to make the slightest mistake."

“Even so, it is still unknown whether this head can still be hung on the shoulders the next day.”

"You, Prince Dan, know that I have never had a good night's sleep."

"I see. Lord Li's target is your former mentor, Lü Buwei." Yan Dan nodded, "However, Lü Buwei seems to have failed, and failed miserably."

"Yes, Lü Buwei failed." Li Si nodded, "But his failure was not because he didn't do well enough or was not perfect enough. His failure was not due to himself."

"I'd like to hear the details." Yan Dan whispered.

Li Si raised his head and repeated, "His failure was only because he met His Majesty, the current king, a king who has never appeared since ancient times and will never appear again in the future."

"Humph, Lu Buwei wants to be a powerful minister over such a king. Unless he is a god, perhaps even a god will fail."

"It seems that who will be the master of this empire in the future has nothing to do with Lord Li." Yan Dan said.

"That's right. From now on, it doesn't matter to me who becomes the master of this empire. What's important is that I have the final say on everything in this empire." Li Si's tone became arrogant.

"At the very least, whether or not this head of mine continues to hang on my shoulders is up to me."

“So, whether it’s King Wu, Meng Tian, ​​Luo Wang, or all the various schools of thought, their true colors need to be cleared away.”

"This empire, both inside and outside, is made up of people who are truly themselves."

"Prince Dan, only in this way can my promise to you be fulfilled, right?"

"Master Li is right..."

Chapter 31 Who is the prey? Who is the hunter?

At this moment, Yan Dan became serious.

After learning about Li Si's ambition, Yan Dan quickly made his own decision.

He really decided to join forces with Li Si.

The failure in the Mo Gui Pool told him that the Mohist School and the so-called Hundred Schools of Thought could never be the opponents of Ying Zheng and Ying Xiao, because Ying Zheng and Ying Xiao controlled an empire, a huge empire, and no matter how powerful the Mohist School and the Hundred Schools of Thought were, they were only a part of this empire.

How can an ant shake a tree? Unless the tree is already a dead and rotten wood.

Since Li Si wanted to be a powerful official like Lu Buwei, it meant that he would no longer be loyal to the empire. Yan Dan could use Li Si to remove obstacles while depleting the internal forces of the empire, killing two birds with one stone.

“Since Prince Dan thinks what I said is correct, can I know the details of Mohism?” Li Si took another sip of tea, narrowed his eyes, and spoke slowly.

Having made the decision, Yan Dan would not hesitate any longer and said softly, "Master Li, the real Mohist School has not appeared in the world, and the real Mechanical City is also not in front of the world."

Hearing this, Li Si was instantly shocked.

His Nightingale did discover that the Mohist school was not simple, but he did not expect it to be so simple. The real Mohist school and the Mechanical City had not yet appeared in the world. For him, the prime minister, this was so exaggerated that it was beyond words.

Li Si couldn't help but take another sip of tea, and said in his heart, "Sure enough, compared with these hundreds of years of inheritance, the Nightingale is still far behind, the most immature of the immature."

"If I want to achieve what I want to do, I must use these various schools of thought as my sword."

"I'd like to hear the details!" Li Si whispered, putting down the teacup gently.

“Lord Li, do you know the rumor in the martial arts world that the Mohist school’s supreme weapon is non-aggression?” Yan Dan chuckled.

"Of course I know. Rumor has it that it is a mysterious weapon with many changes." Li Si nodded and whispered, "It is also rumored that this weapon restrains all weapons in the world."

"Fei Gong is only one of the ten lineages of Mohist school, and the truly strong ones in Fei Gong lineage have not appeared in the world yet." Yan Dan said, with a look that had experienced vicissitudes of life and death, and for the first time he looked proud in front of Li Si.

"Moreover, the non-aggression lineage is only the weakest lineage of the Mohist school."

"What..." Hearing Yan Dan's words, Li Si could no longer remain calm and cried out in shock.

Seeing that Li Si had lost his composure, Yan Dan looked even more smug, "Lord Li, can you rest assured about the assassination of King Wu Ying Xiao by the Mohist School?"

After all, Li Si had seen many storms and waves, so he immediately came to his senses and calmed down, saying with a smile, "It seems that my decision to find you, Prince Dan, was the best choice in my life."

"No, it is an honor for this prince to meet Lord Li." Yan Dan said with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Li Si also laughed, and then pointed at the tea on the table and said, "This tea is the Tiangong Yunwucui from Mount Shu, the best tea, given by Your Majesty. As expected, good tea can bring good guests."

"Sir Li, first there must be a good host, then there will be good tea, and finally there will be good guests." Yan Dan said with a smile.

Having said this, the tea was finished and Yan Dan left.

After Yan Dan left, a young man who looked very similar to Li Si came to the secret room.

"You'er, did you hear the conversation between your father and Yan Dan?" Li Si's originally calm expression gradually became ferocious, and he asked in a hoarse voice.

"Father, not a single word is wrong." Li You said with a bow.

"So what do you think?" Li Si asked in a serious tone.

"Father, compared with those other schools of thought, our Li family is far superior to them." Li You said, "We still have a long way to go."

"This road is really not that simple. It seems that Lu Buwei's failure was not only because the current Majesty has never been so successful, but also because this road is longer, even longer than the road to becoming an emperor." Li Si said.

"However, now that I have embarked on this path, I am destined to not turn back. Now, I have already reached the pinnacle. If I turn back, I will be crushed to pieces. I have no choice but to keep moving forward."

Li Si stood up straight, and the majesty of the Great Qin Empire, second only to one man, was all in his eyes.

"Father, now it seems that Yan Dan may have done it on purpose. Perhaps his people have noticed Nightingale a long time ago, and he has been waiting for Nightingale. It seems that father is looking for him, but in fact, he is looking for father." Li You said.

"If he wants to succeed, there is only one way, through his father's hand."

"So, Father, we and he..."

"You'er, it doesn't matter who looks for whom, and it doesn't matter who uses whom. What matters is who is the player in the game," said Li Si.

"Also, what really determines the outcome of a game is always outside the chessboard."

"Yuer, do you understand?"

"Father, I know that the old nightingale is already on the chessboard, so we need a new nightingale to determine the outcome of the game." Li You said.

"There will always be brave men when there is a big reward!" Li Si said again.

"Don't worry, father. The new Nightingale will definitely be a new Nightingale and will never let you remember the old Nightingale again." Li You nodded and left the secret room.

Li Si slowly raised his head and murmured to himself, "After Your Majesty, who will be the prey in this empire? Who will be the hunter?"

......

Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion and Xianyang, Yan Dan walked alone among the trees, his Mo Mei unsheathed, and he smiled confidently, "At this moment, Mo Mei is truly unsheathed, at this moment, the Mohist School is truly born."

"It is an honor for King Qin Wu to use his blood to commemorate this birth. What do you think, Ying Xiao..."

"It takes hundreds of years to sharpen a sword. This sword may seem to have no edge, but it is actually the strongest."

"In the end, there are only two roles in this world, the hunter and the prey. I, Yan Dan, will become the hunter, the only hunter. Ying Zheng, you have been a hunter for too long."

Withdrawing his black eyebrows, Yan Dan's figure gradually disappeared into the woods.

......

On the wide road, Ying Xiao and the girls galloped on their horses and had already arrived at the sand dunes.

At this time, Chi Lian's horse approached Ying Xiao and slowly spoke, "Your Highness, do you think the Red Snake King Snake is the most powerful predator?"

"Princess Honglian, why do you say that?" Ying Xiao asked softly.

"The Red-ribbed King Cobra is something that people fear as soon as they hear of it. Naturally, it is the most powerful predator. However, when the Red-ribbed King Cobra is hunting, it only dares to focus one point of its attention on its prey, and the other eleven points are all spent on the sky," said Chi Lian.

"I understand. The nightingale nest is the prey. We are the red-bellied king cobra. An eagle is destined to appear in the sky above us." Chi Lian said so. How could Ying Xiao not understand Chi Lian's meaning? He slowly raised his head and spoke.

"Your Highness, it is true. The Nightingale's nest was found too smoothly." The Great God of Destiny also said, "The Tianxing people under Meng Yi were once the Shadow Secret Guards. For so many years, they did not notice the existence of the Nightingale. In less than half a month, they have already found the Nightingale's nest."

"It seems that I am the real prey." Ying Xiao grinned.

Chapter 32: The place where the hero is cursed by life and death - the dunes!

"Li Si actually regarded Your Highness as his prey. How ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous." The Great God of Destiny said disdainfully, "It seems that the position of Prime Minister has really made him very arrogant."

"Prime Minister Li Si is perhaps the most cunning person in the world." A murderous intent flashed across Chi Lian's beautiful eyes, and the red king snake wrapped around the water snake's waist kept hissing and spitting out scarlet tongues.

"Donghuang Taiyi said that he is more powerful than Lu Buwei." Da Siming said, "He knows how to be patient, and often, the more patient a person is, the greater his ambitions are."

"He wants to surpass Lu Buwei?" Xue Nu asked curiously.

"Powerful ministers, powerful ministers in this world, to a large extent, may be more tempting than the throne of emperor." Duanmu Rong said.

"Of course. An emperor is like a thing in the palm of your hand. You can play with him at any time. It is more fun than being the emperor yourself." Chi Lian said charmingly and coldly.

"Princess Honglian, do you remember your past self?" Da Siming lifted his beautiful hair and spoke slowly.

"I want to forget my past self, but I can never forget it." Chi Lian said, "Ji Wuye and Xue Yi Hou in the past, relatively speaking, they stood higher than Lu Buwei."

"The past is also a part of a person's life. Only when you have the past can you be a perfect person, so there is no need to forget the past." Ying Xiao said, "What is important is the future."

In the sand dune area, Meng Yi was already waiting.

"Your Highness, the Shaqiu Palace has been cleaned up." Meng Yi said respectfully.

"Sand Dune..." Ying Xiao murmured, and then followed Meng Yi to the Sand Dune Palace.

Looking at this ancient palace, Ying Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "Meng Yi, if I remember correctly, the original owner of this palace was the last emperor of mankind - Yin Shou."

"Your Highness is right. The Shaqiu Palace was first built by King Yin Shou of the Shang Dynasty to defend against the enemy during his northern expeditions." Meng Yi said, "Unfortunately, after the Shang Dynasty was defeated by the Zhou Dynasty, the Shaqiu Palace was recorded by the Zhou Dynasty historians as a palace where King Yin Shou of the Shang Dynasty was licentious and indulged in wine and women."

"King Yin Shou of Shang was an emperor of his time. He was ambitious, but he took over a dynasty full of problems. The barbarians in the east and north were constantly in chaos. He offended many nobles internally because of his reforms. The Zhou Dynasty rose in the west, and he was attacked from all sides. He was finally defeated in Muye. What a pity." Ying Xiao sighed.

"It's a pity for King Yin Shou of Shang. Before Your Majesty, he was the emperor of men. Even though he was given the title 'Zhou' by King Wu of Zhou, it still couldn't hide his status as an emperor. It's true that there was no more emperor of men after King Yin Shou of Shang. But the Shang Dynasty at that time was already powerless to recover." Meng Yi also sighed.

"Shaqiu, it seems there is quite a story." The Great God of Destiny said, "The former Zhao State, that heroic ruler - Zhao Yong, King Wuling of Zhao, seems to have fled here."

"What the Great God of Destiny said is right. King Wuling of Zhao was a great leader. He confronted the three previous kings of the Qin Dynasty and never lost to them. The Zhao cavalry, dressed in Hu clothing and riding and shooting, were in no way inferior to the Qin cavalry." Meng Yi nodded.

"It can even be said that the Zhao cavalry was superior to the Qin cavalry. During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, the Qin cavalry was defeated many times."

"If fate had not played a trick on King Wuling of Zhao, the unification of the Qin Dynasty might have been delayed."
