Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Yan Lingji pondered secretly, and then came to some realization. She asked uncertainly, "Will they destroy the person who created all this?"

"That's right!" Su Xuan nodded slightly. "Ji Wuye is a great general of South Korea. Compared with strategy, he prefers to use force to solve problems. Once things are out of their control one after another, they will create greater fear and chaos, and then solve everything in the image of justice, thereby gaining both fame and fortune."

"And Tianze will be released from prison by them and create all kinds of chaos." He turned around and looked at Yan Lingji again, "What do you think the first thing a person who has been imprisoned in a cage for more than ten years and is drowned in the fire of revenge will do when he gets out?"

Yan Lingji wanted to say something but stopped herself, not daring to think too much.

"The first thing he did was to kill people to quench some of the anger in his heart."

"Who do you think he will kill?" Su Xuan continued to ask questions, while giving Yan Lingji enough time to think.

Yan Lingji did not answer.

But Su Xuan didn't stop.

"Bai Yifei defeated Tianze in the past and released him. He must have some means to control him, such as poisonous insects or poison. He will definitely not resist Bai Yifei and Ye Mu at the first time. On the contrary, he may reach a cooperation."

"How about it? Doesn't it sound particularly ironic? Suppressing the anger in your heart and cooperating with an enemy who has imprisoned you for ten years?"

"This is all just your imagination." Yan Lingji retorted.

Su Xuan just smiled and didn't refute.

Time will prove everything. All he has to do is plant a seed in Yan Lingji's heart.

"Back to the original topic, who do you think he would kill?"

"I think it's most likely that they were unarmed people, including innocent young children."

"You said he was your master. If he told you to slaughter these people, would you obey his orders?"

Yan Lingji hesitated and remained silent for a long time.

Su Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Sometimes, silence is also an answer.

Chapter 45 Zilanxuan

"I can help you rescue Tianze." Su Xuan's face was sincere. He slowly stood up and looked into Yan Lingji's eyes without any evasion.

This sentence is true.

Yan Lingji is very good at judging people and came to this conclusion immediately.

"Why do you want to help us?" She pursed her red lips with a complicated expression.

With his intelligence, he should know that this is an extremely dangerous thing.

Why was he willing to take such a big risk and put himself in danger to help them?

"Do you know how to deal with Ji Wuye?" Su Xuan asked back, leaving Yan Lingji speechless in an instant.

"In return, you need to protect me and follow my instructions until Tianze is rescued."

"No problem." Yan Lingji agreed without hesitation. In her opinion, this was not a reward at all.

This is an unequal deal.

"Happy cooperation!" Su Xuan extended his right hand.

Yan Lingji was stunned for a moment, but without thinking much, she stretched out her right hand and shook hands with Su Xuan.

This hand is so soft! I really want to hold it in my hand and play with it!

Su Xuan let go of his hand with some reluctance.

In fact, things are not as complicated as Yan Lingji thought. The reason why Su Xuan did this was mainly because of his position and identity. As a Confucian disciple and Han Fei's senior brother, his position is naturally the same as Han Fei's. Ji Wuye is destined to be his enemy.

But Yan Lingji didn't know this. She took advantage of the information asymmetry and seemed to be making great sacrifices, but in fact she made a huge profit.

Not only did he recruit two thugs for free, but he also increased Yan Lingji's favorability.

Hey, he didn’t say who it was for, so let Yan Lingji figure it out herself.

As for saving Tianze? He had no such idea at all. He would let Tianze stay in the dungeon for a while, and Ye Mu would naturally release him. By then, his "efforts" would naturally be seen by Yan Lingji.

"Let's go to Xinzheng together." Su Xuan walked to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and waved to Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji's figure turned into a fragrant breeze and sat directly on the carriage.

Su Xuan sat opposite Yan Lingji, admiring her straight and long beautiful legs openly.

Her calves were slender and well-proportioned without any fat, and her thighs were white, tender and smooth, and when they were put together, they outlined a charming curve.

The only pity is that the pair of jade feet are wrapped in black boots and cannot be seen.

Suddenly, the carriage sank, and Wushuang Gui sat in front of the frame and drove forward.

The carriage drove slowly towards Xinzheng, leaving two deep wheel marks on the ground.

An hour later, the carriage was already driving on the streets of Xinzheng.

The streets of Xinzheng are bustling and crowded with shops, but they are far inferior to those of Linzi and Daliang.

"What should we do next?" Yan Lingji's eyes flashed, and she was eager to try.

"There are four fierce generals under Night's command, namely, Marquis of Bloody Clothes, Emerald Tiger on the Stone, Female Banshee of the Blue Sea Tide, and Man in Straw Raincoat under the Moon."

"If you want to deal with Ji Wuye, you must first cut off the wings around him."

"The Blood-Robed Marquis is far away at the border, and we can't reach him. The Straw-Robed Guest is well versed in the art of self-preservation, and will disappear without a trace at the slightest sign of trouble. The Tide Demon has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and is heavily guarded. Only the Emerald Tiger is swaggering around, making a big fuss, and still doesn't know it."

"Our first goal is to deal with the Emerald Tiger."

He spoke eloquently and logically.

Yan Lingji nodded in agreement.

"Before dealing with the Emerald Tiger, we need to find a place to stay for the time being." Su Xuan glanced at Yan Lingji, "By the way, do you have any money with you?"

Yan Lingji looked at him with a confused look, as if to ask, do you need to carry money with you when you go out?

"Are you short of money? If you need it, I can go to a rich merchant's house and get some for you."

Su Xuan: "......"

Judging from Yan Lingji's familiar look, she must have robbed the rich to help the poor many times.

Also, what does it mean that he is very short of money? Do you know who he is working for?

Not only does he contribute, but he also has to pay for it?

Don’t you know that money is for women to see, not to spend?

Half an hour later, Su Xuan received the title deed of the house from a broker.

This was a three-room mansion. It was not luxurious and did not even have a servant. However, it cost Su Xuan hundreds of gold coins, which made him feel distressed.

In order to make up for his losses, he directly passed the expenses on to Yan Lingji.

Only after Yan Lingji signed the IOU and pressed her fingerprint did Su Xuan nod in satisfaction.

No money? No problem, just owe it to me first.

When she owed more and more and could no longer pay it back, it became difficult for her to leave.

"Is this what you meant by dealing with the Emerald Tiger?" Looking at Zi Lanxuan in front of her, Yan Lingji looked at Su Xuan with suspicion.

This is clearly a place for romance, what on earth is this guy trying to do? If he really wants to have fun, he shouldn't have brought me along.

Su Xuan smiled and explained, "When I visited Lord Xinling, I heard him tell a story from the past."

"He has two talented people around him, one is Mao Gong and the other is Xue Gong. When they defeated Qin and settled in Zhao, Mao Gong hid among the gamblers and Xue Gong hid in the tavern."

"You mean, the person we are looking for is in Zilanxuan?" Yan Lingji reacted after pondering for a moment.

"That's right. I'm from Qi and you're from Baiyue. We're new here and we know very little about Korea. If we want to deal with Ji Wuye, the first thing we need to do is to make friends."

Su Xuan always kept in mind the famous sayings of great men, to make more friends and fewer enemies.

Making friends in a brothel?

Yan Lingji suddenly found it interesting. The corners of her lips slightly raised and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

I hope this trip to Zilanxuan will not disappoint her.

After taking a look at Su Xuan who was walking in front of her, she took a step with her long legs and quickly caught up with him.

Chapter 46 Purple Girl

Zi Lan Xuan is one of the three holy places in Qin Shi Ming Yue.

This is a four-storey vermilion pavilion with painted beams and flying eaves, pink and jade bricks, and magnificent decorations inside and out. It looks very luxurious and majestic.

Every floor outside the attic is hung with red lanterns, and purple curtains decorate the eaves and windows, fluttering in the wind, soft and gorgeous.

It is magnificent yet elegant.

It can be seen that the owner of Zilanxuan put a lot of thought into building this pavilion.

There was a constant stream of traffic in front of the gate. From time to time, men in gorgeous clothes got off the carriages and entered Zi Lan Xuan to seek pleasure.

"This young man..." The receptionist at the door stopped talking midway.

What a nice view!

Even though she was also a woman, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration after seeing Yan Lingji.

But soon, her expression changed.

Who would bring a woman with them to Zi Lan Xuan these days? And she was such a woman who could bring disaster to the country and the people. Could he be here to cause trouble on purpose? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be alert and vigilant.

"I am Su Xuan, a Confucian scholar, and have come to visit Miss Zi Nu, the owner of Zi Lan Xuan. I would like to ask the two girls to help me report to her." Su Xuan chuckled and bowed slightly to the two of them, looking elegant and easy-going.

"Are you the Confucian Su Xuan?" The welcoming woman opened her red lips slightly, with an undisguised look of surprise in her eyes. She looked Su Xuan up and down, as if she was trying to determine whether he was real or not, but soon realized that something was wrong. She bowed slightly, and her tone became much more respectful. "Please come in, sir. I'll go tell Sister Zi Nu right away." After that, she lifted her skirt and trotted to the second floor.

As you enter Zi Lan Xuan, you will be greeted by an exquisite lotus pond, with a green dragon spitting water and lotus flowers blooming. From time to time you can hear birds singing and laughing, and the air is filled with the thick scent of makeup.

Su Xuan looked around casually, his heart calm.

But in just a short moment, a charming purple figure came towards them.

This is a charming woman, with mysterious and attractive purple decorations all over her body. The tight purple dress outlines her charming figure. There are several silver hairpins inserted in her high-pile purple hair, like a rose blooming in the sun. Her seductive eyes are also light purple, like a pair of pearls hidden deep in the sea, dark but dazzling.

There was a pattern shaped like butterfly wings painted under the corner of her left eye, which added an unusual noble temperament to her charming posture. If such a woman stood among a group of beauties, she would be extremely eye-catching.

"It is truly an honor for Zi Lan Xuan to welcome such a distinguished guest as you today." She had a charming figure, and her steps were like lotus flowers, swaying gracefully, as she walked from the stairs to the hall.

"Zi Nu greets Mr. Su Xuan." Zi Nu bowed to Su Xuan and then smiled apologetically, "I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me, sir."

Her voice was soft and pleasant, as if it carried a magical power that made people subconsciously believe what she said without any doubt.

It's not that I can't, but I don't want to.

"Miss Zi Nu, you are too polite." Su Xuan waved his hand and went straight to the point. "To be honest, Yan Lingji and I came to Zi Lan Xuan because we have something important to discuss with Miss Zi Nu."

"Mr. Su Xuan, please follow me." After a brief exchange, Zi Nu had roughly figured out Su Xuan's character. She stopped talking and took him straight into the private room.

"Come to think of it, sir, you are the first guest to bring a woman into Zi Lan Xuan." Zi Nu chuckled with her hands covering her mouth, sighed, and invited Su Xuan and the other man to sit down, while looking at him imperceptibly.

"Sir, would you like to drink wine or tea?" she asked again considerately.

"Let's have tea." Su Xuan answered subconsciously. He looked around and took in the entire layout of the room.

He noticed that there were a variety of potted flowers in the room, among which purple rush was the most eye-catching.

The stamens of the purple rush are light purple, and the branches and leaves are lush and growing well. You can tell at a glance that someone is taking good care of it.

No wonder he could vaguely smell a light floral scent on Zi Nu's body. Now it seems that it was probably picked up when she was taking care of the purple rush.

He kept this information in mind, took a sip of tea, and then raised his eyebrows slightly, "This tea seems a little different."

"Sir, you are indeed very observant. The tea you just drank is Zi Lan Xuan's unique calming tea." A hint of surprise flashed across Zi Nu's eyes, and then she explained.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji took another bite, but still couldn't taste any difference.

She sat beside Su Xuan, secretly looking at Zi Nu, wondering in her heart, could his so-called friend be her?

Is the proprietress of a dance hall really capable of helping them deal with Ji Wuye?

She remained skeptical.

But she still had a certain trust in Su Xuan. After looking at Su Xuan, she sat silently aside, waiting for the development of things.
