Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"Mr. Su Xuan is truly a romantic figure!" After coming back to his senses, he smiled and praised him.

"Please rest assured, sir. Next time I come, Wei Wuji will definitely bring a beauty that will satisfy you."

His face straightened, he suddenly stood up, and bowed deeply to Su Xuan, "Now the Wei Kingdom seems stable, but in fact it is surrounded by powerful enemies and is in danger of collapse at any time. Wei Wuji is deeply worried, please teach me how to strengthen the country."

Su Xuan sighed lightly, knowing that he couldn't escape today.

He slowly stood up, holding a wine jar in his hand, and asked, "Xinling Jun must know that Shen Buhai is carrying out reforms."

Wei Wuji nodded slightly.

Su Xuan drank the wine in the cup and walked slowly. "Among the seven countries today, the way to become a strong country is to use laws and tactics."

"The art of war is to make the king wise, employ talented people, and govern the country in a clean and honest manner, and the country will naturally become strong and prosperous."

"Law means governing the country by law, just like the Qin State, rewarding merits and punishing mistakes. In this way, everyone will naturally rush to serve and dare not slack off."

"No matter how powerful a country is, no matter the laws or tactics, they all have one thing in common, that is, they need the support of the king to achieve results."

After finishing speaking, Su Xuan looked at Wei Wuji with a slightly apologetic look, "I naturally know what Xinling Jun thinks, but are you sure you can convince the King of Wei? Do you think the King of Wei has the determination and courage to implement the rule of law?"

His questions one after another left Wei Wuji speechless.

He wanted to make Wei strong, but he was not the King of Wei after all, so he was powerless.

He looked depressed, sighed, and drank several glasses of wine in silence.

Su Xuan shook his head. In his opinion, Wei Wuji was too pedantic. He knew what to do and how to make the State of Wei strong, but because he adhered to the benevolence and righteousness in his heart, he would rather die in depression than fight hard and become king.

With his reputation, as long as he has the intention, someone will push him to the top without him saying anything.

This is the limitation of the times!

"In the past, Duke Xiang of Song strictly adhered to benevolence and righteousness, and did not attack the army halfway across the river. He defeated the army and humiliated the country, which made the world laugh at him. Lord Xinling, look at it now, does the State of Song still exist in the world today?"

Wei Wuji's face changed drastically when he heard this.

Zhu Hai's eyes changed and he looked at Su Xuan deeply, but did not say anything to stop him.

They had said similar words to Wei Wuji a long time ago, but unfortunately, Wei Wuji had always had reservations in his heart and had been slow to act, resulting in the power being taken away by the King of Wei. Now it was much more difficult for him to start a rebellion than before, but it was not without the possibility of success.

Su Xuan felt a little bored. He had spoken so harshly, but Wei Wuji still couldn't make a decision.

How can you accomplish anything if you are so indecisive?

The reason why he spoke out was not to help Wei Wuji to support the State of Wei, but just a sudden impulse, wanting to see what decision he would make.

Now it seems, very disappointing.

Wei Wuji's expression changed and he left with a heavy heart.

In the next few days, he did not come to visit again. Su Xuan was happy to have free time. Every day, she played the piano with Jingwei, drank, went shopping, and enjoyed the pleasures of the boudoir. She was extremely happy.

Jingwei was sitting under the blossoming tree as usual, plucking the strings of her zither. She had a smile on her face, and she stood in the sunlight, looking radiant.

As the breeze blows, the flower trees sway, and crystal flower rain falls in flakes, dancing in the wind. For a moment, the fallen petals are colorful and beautiful.

Jingwei was sitting in the rain of flowers, her skin was white and rosy, more beautiful than peach blossoms.

She has less of the cold temperament and more of the gracefulness and beauty of a Jiangnan woman.

If you ignore her true identity and say she is a good wife and mother, many people would believe it.

Swish swish!

Su Xuan wielded his brush and wrote with great skill. Before long, a vivid and beautiful painting appeared before his eyes.

At some point, Jingwei had come to Su Xuan's side. She looked intently and saw herself in the painting with a beautiful smile and gentle eyes, which were as bright as amber and so dazzling.

However, Su Xuan had no intention of stopping writing at this time, and two paragraphs of poetry were written on it.

This day this year, inside this door, the faces of people and the peach blossoms complement each other.

Jingwei looked at him painting seriously with a smile on his lips, and couldn't help but stare at him in a daze for a moment.

She clearly saw three words written on it: Gifted to Rushuang.

This is for myself!

When Su Xuan handed her the scroll, she held it in her arms as if it were a treasure.

At this moment, she forgot about her mission and all her worries. She just wanted to stay with him and enjoy this rare quiet time.

Where love arises, it is deep and lasting.

She took the initiative to kiss him, her eyes full of emotion. After they were done, Jingwei looked at him with a mixture of anger and resentment.

This guy is really too bold. He is not afraid that Wei Wuji will suddenly come to visit today.

The whole process made her terrified and she was on guard all the time.

Now he breathed a sigh of relief.

When she thought of Wei Wuji, she remembered that she still had to complete the task of assassinating him.

During this period of time, with her help, Luowang's killers have quietly sneaked into Wei Wuji's mansion.

Yanri also arrived in Wei State yesterday and had secretly contacted her by message.

The mission to assassinate Wei Wuji has also begun.

But what she was thinking about now was whether the Luowang killer would harm Su Xuan when carrying out the assassination mission.

We have to find a way to get him to leave Wei State and stay away from this turmoil.

As a killer, she regards human life as worthless and never shows mercy.

Only Su Xuan is a different existence in her heart.

This was the first time she cared so much about someone.

It was not until this moment that she realized that Su Xuan had occupied an important position in her heart.

She was even somewhat thankful that Luo Wang's assassination target was not him.

Otherwise, she really didn't know what choice she would make.

"My dear, shall we leave Wei?" She suggested after tidying up her clothes.

Su Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Are they preparing to carry out an assassination mission?

In fact, he had noticed something unusual as early as these two days.

The guards who used to like to mutter to themselves, now kept silent and did their work meticulously. The servants who used to make small mistakes from time to time, now performed impeccably.

One thing may be a coincidence, but when several things are added together, it is definitely not a coincidence.

He guessed that it was the Luowang killer who used disguise to sneak in.

But all this has little to do with him. He acts as if nothing has happened and goes about his daily life as usual.

He nodded in agreement to Jingwei's suggestion, while gently stroking her hair with his palm.

It was not in vain that he had loved her these days and was concerned about her safety. Judging from the situation, in addition to the physical relationship, the two of them had gradually begun to develop feelings for each other.

He was quite satisfied with the speed of progress.

Su Xuan made the decision quickly and took action quickly. He told Wei Wuji about the decision that afternoon.

Without further ado, he decided to leave the next day and get away from this place of trouble.

If Wei Wuji died during the time he was staying there, then he would be in a state of confusion and would not be able to explain himself.

Wei Wuji was drinking alone in a courtyard. He looked sad and depressed. After several days, he still found it difficult to make a decision.

Sir, he must be disappointed in himself, right?

Wei Wuji, ah Wei Wuji, you are so useless that you can't even make such a simple decision.

He laughed at himself, feeling ashamed, annoyed, and self-blaming. He felt that he had no face to face Su Xuan.

After thinking about it, he finally asked Zhu Hai to prepare an exquisite carriage and hundreds of taels of gold for Su Xuan as a farewell gift.

Su Xuan naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't care.

Now that they were about to part, he naturally wanted to be more affectionate with Jingwei.

In the middle of the night, when the lights were dim, Su Xuan and Jing Wei were wandering around the streets of Daliang City.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Some are shopping, while others are taking their girls out for a leisurely stroll. From time to time, laughter can be heard, creating a joyous scene.

Jingwei was a little absent-minded because Yanri had made an appointment with her to meet tonight to discuss the specific assassination plan.

"Do you know why I brought you out today?" Su Xuan asked with a smile, as if he knew what she was thinking.

"Because this is a memory that belongs only to the two of us, I hope Rushuang will smile when she recalls it in the future." He asked and answered himself, and then said, "In the future, we will go to Xinzheng together, to Xianyang together, and to many, many places together."

He opened his hands and described it vividly. As he spoke, his eyes shone brightly, as dazzling as stars.

Jingwei's eyes trembled, and he felt a little bit reluctant.

She was just a concubine, but Su Xuan treated her like this. Even if she was his wife, she probably wouldn't have received such treatment.

The killer was originally emotionless, but at this moment, she felt his sincere feelings.

If I suddenly leave him, he...

She didn't dare to think deeply or consider it carefully. She lowered her head and looked at the embroidered shoes on her feet with an inexplicable expression.

"What's wrong?" Su Xuan held her soft little hand, squeezed it gently, and asked with concern.

"No, nothing." She tried her best to control her expression and showed a beautiful smile.

Su Xuan looked up at the sky, which was dotted with stars. He thought for a moment and asked, "Have Rushuang ever seen the beautiful scenery of Fengze at night?"

Jingwei shook his head.

The killer won't waste time on such useless things.

"Then let's go and take a look together today." Su Xuan held Jingwei's little hand, held it tighter, and pulled her towards Fengze.

Jingwei was slightly behind Su Xuan by half a body length. She raised her cold eyes, looked at Su Xuan's back, and was absent-minded for a moment.

A killer doesn't waste time admiring a beautiful view, but if it were you...

The heart that was not moved by external things began to beat for the first time in a long time, making her inexplicably flustered.

Her pretty face unconsciously flushed.

The bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and its clear moonlight was pouring down. The surface of Fengze Lake was shimmering, as if it was covered with a layer of silver. The two of them were sitting on the flower boat, rowing away.

On the flower boat, fine wine had already been prepared, as if it had been prepared long in advance.

Speaking of this, Su Xuan had to thank Wei Wuji. He received Wei Wuji's gift this afternoon and used his wallet to get off the flower boat. He also prepared some other programs.

The water surface of Fengze is vast and clear as a mirror. Standing on the flower boat, you can even clearly see your own reflection and the outline of your facial features.

The surface of Fengze Lake was calm at night, without any ripples. Clusters of reeds had begun to grow on the shore, and vaguely one could see the fluttering figures of white-browed ducks and grey herons.

As the night deepened, the lake was dotted with stars. The two of them were boating, as if they were traveling among a river of stars.

Jingwei took the initiative to fill Su Xuan's glass with wine, picked up the wine bottle and handed it to Su Xuan's lips.

At this time, several flower boats suddenly appeared on the lake. Su Xuan's eyes moved, but this time he was not in a hurry to drink. He stretched out his right hand, pressed it on Jingwei's wrist, and looked at her with a smile, "Rushuang, close your eyes first, I have a surprise for you."

Jingwei was a little confused, but still did as he was told.

After a while, a soft touch came from the lips, followed by the Wei wine flowing into the throat.

After a long time, the lips and teeth separated.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

A familiar voice came from his ears. Jingwei opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him, completely stunned.

On the lake, fireflies fill the sky and stars shine brightly, creating a magnificent picture.

The night was originally pitch black and without any color, but at this moment, it was dotted with countless stars.

The brilliance of a firefly cannot compete with that of the bright moon, but at this moment, in Jingwei's eyes, it surpasses everything.

She covered her lips with her delicate hands, watching the scene in ecstasy.
