Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Suddenly, she felt sad and blamed herself.

The sad thing is that I can't help him, and he has to bear everything alone.

"I believe you."

"Whether it's one year, two years, three years, or ten years, I will always wait for you."

"In this life, I will never marry anyone but you."

There was a thousand kinds of tenderness in her eyes, like the gentle spring breeze, even the ice and snow would melt at this moment.

Su Xuan was stunned for a moment. He thought he would have to spend some time talking, but he didn't expect the Snow Girl to agree directly and say such explicit and sentimental love words.

Is this still the snow girl he remembered?

"When are you planning to leave?" the Snow Girl asked.

"One month later." Su Xuan replied.

The Snow Girl's eyes lit up, "Let's go back to Linglong Pavilion."

Her gaze was bold and burning, as if she wanted to melt her entire body into Su Xuan's.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Su Xuan could truly feel what she was thinking.

......

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

"This is the money I have saved over the years. You may need it, so take it with you." The Snow Girl took out her own small treasury and pushed it in front of Su Xuan.

When Su Xuan opened it, he saw thousands of gold coins and even some jewelry.

Does this mean that all your belongings are given to yourself?

"Don't refuse. This is my gift. I'm very happy to be able to help you." She smiled and took out a package. "These are some clothes I sewed for you."

"Remember to keep it on so you can always think of me."

Su Xuan silently opened the package and saw five sets of clothes inside, two sets of white robes, a black shirt, a green shirt, and a long robe with white and red.

"Try it on to see if it fits." The Snow Girl pursed her lips, slowly stood up, and walked to Su Xuan's side, "Let me help you."

She naturally took off Su Xuan's long gown, picked up the white robe, and helped him put it on.

She was considerate and gentle, and at the end she even helped Su Xuan straighten his collar.

After putting on her clothes, she looked at them carefully again, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

Su Xuan took out a jade box and handed it to the Snow Girl.

"Is it for me?" The Snow Girl smiled even more happily and opened the jade box with expectant eyes.

A silver necklace inlaid with rubies appeared before my eyes.

"I was shopping with you the other day and I saw something you liked, so I bought it."

The Snow Girl covered her mouth lightly, looking surprised.

"Yeah, I like it very much."

She took out the necklace, held it in her hands and examined it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

"Put it on for me."

Su Xuan nodded slightly, picked up the necklace and put it on her slender white neck.

"I will wear it all the time. This way it will be like you are always by my side." She danced with joy and turned around in a circle. Her inner joy was beyond words.

"I'm leaving." Su Xuan took the initiative to end the conversation. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he really didn't want to leave.

"I'll see you off." The Snow Girl stood up, and the two of them walked out of the room together and crossed the street, as usual.

I don't know when it started snowing.

"Okay, let's stop here." Su Xuan stopped, leading the white horse.

The two looked at each other.

At this moment, a snow goose flew from mid-air and landed on the back of the snow girl's hand.

"This is the snow goose that often listens to you playing the piano." The Snow Girl recognized it at once.

"There are geese in Beiling, their feathers are as white as snow." Su Xuan suddenly spoke.

"The north wind is howling, and we fly south with our wings together." The Snow Girl responded.

"If a feather is broken, what can I do?"

"The north wind is fierce, but it never leaves me."

I only wish your heart was like mine.

Su Xuan jumped on his horse and rode away in a cloud of dust.

The Snow Girl looked at Su Xuan's departing back from afar and did not come back to her senses for a long time.

Chapter 28 Daliang

On the outskirts of Handan city.

The carriage sped along, and when it entered a dense forest, dozens of killers surrounded it.

One of the killers lifted the curtain and looked at the empty carriage, his face changed drastically.

"Damn it, where is the person?" he cursed and glared at someone behind him.

"Wasn't he riding a horse? Why did he suddenly change to a carriage? Are you kidding me?"

The man was almost crying with fear, and said in awe, "Sir, how dare I lie to you? The boy was about to leave the city, but he suddenly stopped and bought a carriage. I saw him driving the carriage out of the city with my own eyes."

"This kid is really cunning, no wonder the Prime Minister wants us to get rid of him." The leader was furious, "Chase him!"

Su Xuan was riding a horse, standing on a hill, and saw this scene from afar.

It was just to be on the safe side, but it turns out that someone really wants to get rid of me?

Who could it be? Guo Kai, who is related to Zhao Qian?

Su Xuan seemed to be thinking about something, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Fortune comes and misfortune lies, and misfortune lies.

It may seem like a bad thing, but if you put it into practice, it may be a good thing.

No matter who he is, I would like to thank him for this great gift.

He did not leave Zhao immediately, but secretly returned to Handan.

Soon, the news spread in Handan.

"Hey, have you heard? General Li Mu once advised the king that the Confucian disciple Su Xuan was a rare talent, and even compared him to Lin Xiangru, the wise minister during the reign of King Huiwen of Zhao. He asked the king of Zhao to use him. If he didn't use him, he should be killed and not allowed to leave Zhao and go to other countries."

"It is said that a few days ago, when Su Xuan left the city, he was surrounded and attacked by hundreds of soldiers, but he narrowly escaped death."

"I'll tell you a secret. In fact, it was the Prime Minister Guo Kai who did this."

......

In just a few days, rumors were rife in Handan City. There were various versions of the story, but without exception, they all talked about Su Xuan.

For a time, Su Xuan's name became famous in Handan. As some people dug up his past deeds, these people believed the rumors more and more.

Su Xuan was wearing a bamboo hat, sitting on the street, eating wontons, and listening to them talking and expressing their opinions, his smile deepened.

Who says bad things can't turn into good things?

Taking this opportunity, I can make a name for myself.

As for Li Mu, we can only let him suffer a little.

After all, the most prominent figure in Zhao State at present is Li Mu, and the effects of others are much worse.

Given Li Mu's character, he probably wouldn't refute this matter if he knew he was attacked.

This is called a gentleman deceiving others with his own tactics.

Furthermore, this old guy really had the intention of getting rid of me. Did he really think I didn't notice it when I attended the banquet?

It's not that he was wronged at all.

Li Mu is definitely going to take the blame!

The only pity is that my pocket is much thinner.

And it was the Snow Girl's money that was spent.

This made him sigh.

There will actually be a day when I will have to live off my wife.

During these few days, he did not go to see Xue Nu. He just left a letter to tell her that he was fine and there was no need to worry. Also, if there was anything, she could write to Zi Lan Xuan in South Korea and he would reply.

After doing all this, he moved towards the State of Wei at a leisurely pace.

Five days later, Su Xuan rode to Daliang, the capital of Wei State.

Daliang is located in a fertile plain, adjacent to Anyi, the former capital of the Wei State. It is bordered by the Yellow River to the north and Fengze Lake to the south. It is well connected by water and land transportation and is the largest material distribution center in the Central Plains.

Daliang has a high city wall, deep moats, a dense population, and a prosperous economy, making it a strong city.

In history, when the State of Qin besieged the State of Wei, it failed to capture the city after a long siege. In the end, it flooded Daliang and destroyed Wei in one fell swoop.

It perfectly fits the saying that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

The developed water transportation made Daliang a prosperous commercial city, but it was also the root cause of the demise of the State of Wei.

Su Xuan picked up the kettle, took a few sips, then rode his horse and walked casually on the streets of Daliang.

As far as the eye can see, all kinds of restaurants and hotels have tall lanterns and waving flags, and the sounds of loud conversation and cheers fill the streets.

There are numerous shops here, and the streets are filled with merchants from all over the world. They travel to various countries and are well-informed.

Su Xuan walked into the inn, found a seat by the window, and ordered a few of the inn's special dishes.

"Hey, have you heard? A big event happened in Zhao State recently. It is said that General Li Mu once advised the King of Zhao that the Confucian Su Xuan has a rare talent and if he is not used, he should be killed."

"General Li Mu values ​​him so much, this person must be a man of real talent and knowledge."

"Alas, it's a pity that such a talented person was hunted down by people sent by the State of Zhao."

"In my opinion, the Zhao court is full of stupid people. They don't want to make friends with such a talented person, but instead send people to hunt him down. No wonder their crown prince Qian was assassinated."

"Speaking of the assassination of Prince Qian, I received an extremely confidential information from my friend in Zhao State."

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."

"According to him, the one who killed Prince Qian was none other than the assassin organization Luowang of Qin State, whose code name was Yanri."

......

Su Xuan had a strange look on his face. Did the name come before the person?

Why are my legends everywhere in the world?

But this feeling is really good.

It’s just that my younger brother Jing Ke is not around, otherwise we could have talked about it.

Su Xuan was drinking wine and tasting delicious food, then he paused to look out the window.

A beautifully decorated carriage with carved beams and painted buildings stopped outside the inn.

A middle-aged man in casual clothes lifted the curtain of the car and walked out. He had handsome features and an extraordinary appearance. Just standing there, he exuded an invisible aura.

"This is Xinling Jun. Oh my god, why is Xinling Jun here in this inn?"

"Is there some important person in this inn who needs to be personally received by Lord Xinling?"

......

As soon as Wei Wuji appeared, he caused exclamations.

"Greetings, Lord Xinling!" Everyone present bowed in greeting.

From a single example we can get a glimpse of the whole picture. We can imagine how famous Wei Wuji was in the State of Wei.
