Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"I was just wondering why your swordsmanship has not improved at all in several months. Now I understand." He looked back and forth between Jing Ke and Gongsun Li, and said meaningfully.

Jing Ke's face flushed instantly when he understood what was going on. He introduced her, "This is my junior sister, Gongsun Li."

After saying that, he introduced Su Xuan to Gongsun Li.

"Gongsun Li meets Brother Su Xuan." She greeted him gracefully.

"Sure enough, she is so beautiful. No wonder Xiao Ke has been obsessed with her." Su Xuan looked at the jade bracelet on Gongsun Lihao's wrist and said with emotion, "I still remember the days when Xiao Ke and I fought for justice and took revenge together. We killed many robbers together and obtained a hard-earned fortune, but Xiao Ke was reluctant to spend a penny. That's why he used three black crystal arrowheads to exchange for a pair of extremely precious jade bracelets at the treasure appraisal conference."

"At that time, I asked him who he bought it for, but he refused to reveal anything. It turned out that Xiao Ke's sweetheart was Miss Gongsun Li."

Gongsun Li gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist with her fingers.

So, is there such a complicated story behind this? But this kind of thing is indeed something that a fool like my senior brother could do.

While cherishing and valuing the jade bracelet even more, Gongsun Li was also deeply moved.

Jing Ke was stunned.

Brother, what do you mean I don't want to spend a penny? Not a penny of this money went into my pocket!

Also, the thing was obviously right, but after my brother casually said that, why did it seem to have changed?

Seeing his junior sister looking at him with shining eyes, he suddenly understood.

Brother, you are closer to me than my own brother!

Please continue to increase your efforts!

Chapter 222 Childhood Sweethearts

Gongsun Yu looked at Jing Ke, who was so excited that he almost danced, with a complicated expression.

Perhaps, this is what it means when fools have good fortune.

He found a good elder brother, and with the help of this relationship, he could reach heights that many people could never reach in their entire lives.

Perhaps sensing that Jing Ke and Gongsun Li were feeling a little uncomfortable, Gongsun Yu did not stay for long. He bowed and left, while instructing Jing Ke to treat Su Xuan well.

"Brother, are you planning to attack the State of Wei?" Jing Ke asked abruptly with a serious expression.

Gongsun Li also looked over here.

"Didn't Mr. Gongsun tell you?" Su Xuan asked seriously, "The Wei State has been destroyed."

"What? The country was destroyed? Why didn't I hear anything about it?" Jing Ke was dumbfounded. He had originally thought that if his elder brother led the Qin army to attack Wei, would the two of them fight? It turned out that he was worrying too much. Because his elder brother didn't even give him a chance!

"Brother, you are not lying to me, are you?" He pinched his chin, moved closer to Su Xuan, looked left and right, as if trying to find the flaw in his expression.

Su Xuan smiled and said nothing.

Jing Ke swallowed his saliva. Could it be true?

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the fine wine that Wei Anjun prepared for you has been delivered to your mansion." At this moment, the guard sent by Wei Anjun came to report.

"Brother, how did you do it?" Jing Ke asked curiously.

"How about we drink and talk?" Su Xuan suggested with a smile.

"This is a rare and fine wine!" Jing Ke's eyes lit up. As a drunken swordsman, his favorite thing was to taste the fine wines in the world. Weiguo tribute wine was a rare and fine wine!

Not to mention that today is the day the two of them meet again after a long separation.

Su Xuan looked at Jing Ke's heartless appearance and asked in confusion, "Don't you feel anything at all when Wei is destroyed?"

Jing Ke blinked his eyes, "Brother, do you want me to take revenge?"

He rolled his eyes, "I'm not that stupid, isn't that asking for trouble?"

"In fact, I have long disliked the King of Wei. Under his rule, Wei had to pay a large amount of money and grain to Wei every year, and all of this was levied on the people, causing them to live in poverty and almost reach a point where they could hardly take a single step. There is nothing wrong with changing someone to rule Wei."

"Besides, I believe in you, big brother. You will definitely make Weiguo a better place!"

Su Xuan raised the corner of his mouth, "Then you should take a good look at the changes in Weiguo in the future."

"Actually, I'm looking forward to your participation. How about I recommend you to be an official?" Su Xuan joked.

"Brother, please forgive me. I am not cut out to be an official. If I really become one, I'm afraid I'll be despised by others." Jing Ke waved his hands to refuse.

The two of them clinked glasses and drank, telling each other what they had seen and heard during this period.

Gongsun Li left the two of them some space to be together and said goodbye early.

"Brother!" Jing Ke slapped his head suddenly, as if he remembered something, and looked at Su Xuan solemnly. Just when Su Xuan thought he was going to say something important, he said something that made Su Xuan smile.

"Brother, on such a good day, how can we not have roast chicken!"

"That makes sense." Su Xuan nodded with a smile, and then told Jing Ke that as long as he went to the lobby and came back, he would be able to see what he wanted.

Jing Ke ran faster than a rabbit in an instant. When he came back, he saw the shiny, fragrant, steaming roast chicken on the table, and his eyes almost popped out and fell on it.

He picked up one of the roasted chickens and started to eat it. As for where they came from, Jing Ke didn't care at all.

Jing Ke ate with relish, his mouth full of oil. He ate several roast ducks and drank several jars of fine wine, then patted his stomach with satisfaction.

"Brother, you gave me the secret recipe for roast chicken. I asked famous chefs from all over the country to make it, but they still couldn't make it taste as good as this." Jing Ke sighed, "It really makes me miss it."

Su Xuanxin said that he had the skills to do this, and it would be impossible for others to do it.

As for Jing Ke's obsession with roast chicken, he really didn't expect it.

After that, the two continued drinking until Jing Ke was drunk, and Su Xuan let him go.

Su Xuan returned to the guest room that had been prepared long ago to rest, while Jing Ke staggered to Gongsun Li's room.

dong dong!

"Junior sister, it's me." Jing Ke propped his right hand on the door and saw that there was no light in the house. He suddenly realized, "So he's already asleep."

Just as he was about to leave, the lights in the house came on and the door opened. Gongsun Li supported Jing Ke, who was shaking his head and reeking of alcohol, and asked, "Brother, why are you looking for me so late? Is there something wrong?"

Jing Ke's eyes lit up, and he took out a food box that he had prepared long ago from behind him, "Junior sister, this is the one and only roast chicken in the world that I told you about, you try it."

This idiot!

Gongsun Li was angry, amused, and inexplicably moved.

When a person is drunk and unconscious, he still remembers to give himself what he thinks is the best thing. If he doesn't love someone sincerely, who can do this?

What she can do is to live up to this kindness.

"Okay, I'll try it now." She opened the food box, looked at the steaming roast chicken, picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Her taste buds were beating, and her brain was excited, as if electric waves flashed through her mind. The fresh taste, rich juice, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside made people feel as if they were in a delicious feast, leaving a lingering fragrance in their mouths and an endless aftertaste.

Her beautiful eyes lit up, and she finally understood why her senior brother was so obsessed with roast chicken.

"Junior sister." Suddenly, Jing Ke pressed Gongsun Li's shoulders and looked at her intently.

Gongsun Li blushed and was filled with anticipation. Is her senior brother finally going to confess his feelings to her?

"Is it tasty?"

Gongsun Li stroked her forehead with her hand, wondering why she had such expectations of her senior brother?

It seemed like there was a little person in my heart, muttering in dissatisfaction.

Brother, you are such a fool! Idiot!

"Delicious." She whispered back. When she looked at Jing Ke again, she found that he had his eyes closed and was sleeping soundly.

Gongsun Li helped him onto her bed, took out a wet towel to wipe his cheeks, then helped him take off his shoes, keeping his body in a relaxed state.

She sat on the edge of the bed, holding her chin and staring at Jing Ke, whose face was full of alcohol.

If you really like someone, you will think that everything about him is good, and she will not feel the slightest dislike for a senior brother who reeks of alcohol.

She looked at the figure in front of her with a slightly dazed look.

Until now, she still remembers her childhood memories.

That was the scene when kids of the same age bullied him and he stood in front of him to protect him.

Although her senior brother was beaten black and blue and could not be considered heroic, she knew that was the result of his wholehearted protection of her.

Since then, the girl has always had a special feeling in her heart, which sprouted and took root when she grew up.

She placed her soft palm on Jing Ke's cheek.

Junior sister actually always likes senior brother. No matter how others view him, in junior sister's eyes, he is more handsome and brave than anyone else!

Until the end, Gongsun Li sighed softly, looking at the figure in front of her, seeming a little helpless.

Brother, oh brother, how long are you going to make me wait?

Chapter 223 The world is shocked

Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace.

Ying Zheng was dressed in a black dragon robe and a twelve-tassel crown on his head. He sat high on the throne, scanning the civil and military officials in the court. His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through the minds of every minister. His aura was majestic and intimidating.

Ying Zheng listened to his ministers' reports in boredom and found it uninteresting because at this moment, his heart had flown thousands of miles away.

Han was destroyed in half a month. When the court officials heard the news, they looked in disbelief. When Ying Zheng thinks back on it now, he still finds it funny.

And to what extent had the war to destroy Wei progressed at this time?

"Report!" Just as Ying Zheng was deep in thought, an urgent report came from the Golden Arrow Envoy, "Your Majesty, there is news of a great victory on the front line. Our army broke through Daliang five days ago, captured the King of Wei, and successfully destroyed Wei!"

"Great!" Ying Zheng slammed the table and stood up, feeling his blood boiling. He wished he could be at the front line at that moment to witness the mighty and domineering Qin soldiers.

How ambitious was it to destroy two countries in one month? Under the heavens, millions of people dared not think of it, and thought it was impossible, but the Qin State did it! Sir, you did it!

Now, who would say that the gentleman is speaking nonsense?

Ying Zheng looked at the dumbfounded courtiers in the audience, as if they were in a dream, and laughed heartily.

"Mr. Xiangbang actually did it." Wei Liao had a complicated expression, a little dazed. Because Su Xuan's feat of destroying two countries in one month had a great impact on him, and many of his thoughts were even overturned.

"Destroying two countries in one month has never happened before in history! This is a feat that will go down in history!" Wang Wan was full of admiration and praised.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister's talent is so great and unique that I'm afraid only a god from heaven could have such talent!" The Left Prime Minister looked shocked.

"If we continue at this speed, wouldn't it be possible for our Great Qin to conquer the six kingdoms within a year?" someone made a bold guess.

Mi Qi felt his face burning, because at first he didn't believe that Su Xuan could destroy a country in a month, but he not only did it, but he also completed it twice as fast!

He joined everyone in praising the emperor, but he felt extremely heavy in his heart, because after the destruction of Han and Wei, Qin's next target would definitely be Chu and Zhao.

Li Si inexplicably sensed a hint of danger amid the admiration of civil and military officials in the court.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and a person who stands out from the crowd will be criticized.

At this moment, Li Si thought of the previous example of Wu'an Jun, but he felt that there was no need for him to worry too much about his senior brother. What he could think of, his senior brother must have thought of long ago.

Just when everyone was still not digesting the outcome of the battle, another Golden Arrow Messenger arrived and announced the news that the Qin army had defeated the 100,000-strong Zhao army.

Civil and military officials looked at each other, their expressions changing from shock to horror.

My God, is this something a human can do?

It would have been fine if they had destroyed two countries in one month, but they actually defeated the 100,000-strong Zhao army?

With the continuous news and shocks, the civil and military officials felt dumbfounded.

Not only Qin, but also the four countries of Zhao, Chu, Yan and Qi received the news one after another. They were frightened and everyone felt in danger.

Zhao State, Handan.

In the court, Zhao Jia heard that Zhao's 100,000-strong army was defeated. His face turned pale, he was shaky, and he almost rolled off the throne.

The reason why he appointed Pang Yuan as the chief commander was because he had rich combat experience and was stable enough.

But who could have imagined that an army of one hundred thousand would be completely wiped out?

This result not only failed to help him establish the majesty of his royal power, but instead caused a great impact on it.

"Your Majesty, an envoy from Qin State requests to see you." Coincidentally, at this time a guard came to report the news.

Zhao Jia swallowed, fear flashing in his eyes.

Right after the Zhao army was destroyed, envoys from the Qin State arrived one after another. They were coming with great force!

He soon met the Qin envoy, and to his surprise, the visitor was a woman.

She was holding a fan and half covering her face. Just when Zhao Jia looked over with expectation, she was instantly shocked.
