Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Because they all have the same goal.

If the country is corrupt, change it!

And that’s exactly what they did.

Whoosh!

The water temperature gradually cooled down, and Su Xuan drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Originally he was thinking of discussing heroes over a cup of tea, but now it seems that things are not going as planned?

Chapter 50: Ghost Soldiers Rob Pay

The next morning.

When Su Xuan woke up, it was already bright.

He felt full of energy and had endless strength.

This is the good thing about being young. No matter how tired you are the day before, you can sleep for a day and feel as good as new the next day.

But being young also has its troubles, which is having too much energy.

Su Xuan looked at the bulge and shook his head helplessly.

He lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, thinking about a piece of news he had heard yesterday.

The death of Wei Wu Ji caused a great shock in the Seven Kingdoms. Countless talented and famous people went to pay their respects and were deeply saddened by the passing of Wei Wu Ji.

Although the State of Wei announced to the outside world that Wei Wuji had died of illness, some people still noticed something was wrong. After all, the commotion that day was too loud, and even if the State of Wei wanted to conceal it, it would be difficult to stop people from talking.

Then the news that Wei Wuji was assassinated by Yanri spread, and the news became more and more exaggerated. Some people said that Yanri would kill you at the third night and you would never live until the fifth night. After the kings of the six countries heard the news, they were all shocked and angry.

Because this is not just a matter concerning Wei Wuji alone, it also concerns their own safety. No king would ever allow such a killer to threaten his life.

They kept in touch with each other, and there was a tendency for the six nations to unite again. The Qin State, which had planned this in advance, took advantage of the opportunity of Wei Wuji's death and sent General Meng Ao to seize twenty cities including Suanzao, Changping, Yongqiu, Shanyang, etc. from the Wei State.

The final result of this incident ended with Luowang handing over the killer Yanri.

Wei wanted to take this opportunity to force Qin to hand over the captured cities, but Qin refused to give in and insisted that they did not assassinate Wei Wuji. They only handed over Yanri for the sake of the alliance of the six countries.

The King of Wei was helpless about this. After Wei Wuji's death, he dared not use military force against Qin. He could only comfort himself that at least the murderer had been found and he could help Wei Wuji avenge his death.

This matter caused a lot of uproar, but in the end it ended in a whimper and ended in nothing.

Did Luowang really hand over Yanri?

Su Xuan was skeptical about this. He had been wondering why Yanri dared to assassinate Wei Wuji in such a high-profile manner.

Is he taking this opportunity to hide in the dark again?

It's really a good idea!

Directly removing Yanri's identity offline prevents anyone from making any fuss about his identity.

He suddenly became curious about who Yanri was.

Tian Guang? Wang Li? Xiaoyaozi?

Figures appeared in his mind one after another, but in the end he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Why bother yourself? When he takes control of the net, everything will come out.

After lying in bed for a while, Su Xuan got dressed, washed up, and prepared to set off for Zilanxuan.

He has been doing this every day for the past few days.

In the first few days, Yan Lingji would follow him every day, but when she saw that he was just doing some trivial things every day, Yan Lingji lost interest.

In the following few days, she no longer followed Su Xuan. She was mysterious every day and was often not seen. Su Xuan speculated that she was probably going to contact the Corpse-Driving Demon and the King of Poisons to pass messages to each other.

Both sides maintain a tacit understanding on this.

She didn't say anything and Su Xuan didn't ask.

crunch.

Su Xuan pushed open the door, and a brilliant scene came into view.

The morning light is golden, and the soft sunlight pours down.

A graceful figure as red as fire appeared in Su Xuan's sight.

She was wearing a red and black robe, with a snow-white neck and a slender waist. She sat sideways on the railing with her legs together and crossed. Her dreamy blue eyes looked up at the distant sky. No one knew what she was thinking. The bright morning sunshine sprinkled on her body, giving people a feeling that she was a character walking out of a painting.

Her beauty is so stunning that even the half of her profile that is revealed is enough to captivate the whole world.

As if she had noticed Su Xuan's appearance, Yan Lingji turned her head to look at him, then turned her head away again.

Su Xuan openly admired the beautiful morning scenery in silence.

The scene seemed to be still, and no one spoke for a long while.

"How long do you plan to see it?" Yan Lingji gave Su Xuan a charming look, feeling both angry and amused.

Is this guy just going to keep watching if she doesn't say anything?

"You come to see me so early, is there something wrong?" Su Xuan acted in a businesslike manner.

"What? If there's nothing wrong, can't your sister come over to see you?" Seeing him like this, Yan Lingji felt a little unhappy and retorted subconsciously.

Su Xuan blinked and looked Yan Lingji up and down, "It's not impossible."

Asshole! I got tricked by this guy again!

Yan Lingji then realized that something was wrong. She bit her teeth lightly, and a trace of shame and anger flashed in her eyes.

She suddenly had an urge to beat Su Xuan up and trample him under her feet.

"I have contacted the Hundred Poison King and the Corpse Exorcist in the past few days. They have already arrived outside Xinzheng City." Yan Lingji jumped down from the railing. She walked to Su Xuan with her long and straight legs and looked directly at him: "If there is anything you need their help with, you can always tell me."

The Corpse-Driving Demon and the King of a Hundred Poisons also listen to me? Su Xuan looked surprised. He felt that his current identity was no different from Tianze.

Looking at Yan Lingji's serious expression, Su Xuan once again had the urge to kill Tianze.

Of course, this is just a thought. If he really wants to harm Tianze, these people will definitely turn against him in a short time.

The only reason they were temporarily obeying him was because they had a common goal of rescuing Tianze.

"When I met the corpse-driving demon, he told me an interesting story." Shi Lingji glanced at Su Xuan and continued, "When he was driving away the zombies, he saw someone using illusion to disguise as a hundred ghosts parading at night in the Broken Soul Valley outside Xinzheng City, and robbed 100,000 taels of military pay that was transported to Nanyang."

A hundred demons parade at night? Exorcist?

These two words are linked together, and no one would doubt that the exorcist is the mastermind behind the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

"The Corpse-Driving Demon appeared in the Valley of Broken Souls. Could it be that he was also planning to rob the 100,000 taels of military pay that were being transported to Nanyang?" Su Xuan asked. When he saw that Yan Lingji remained silent, he already knew the answer.

They are really brave. Only a few of them dare to attack the South Korean army. But with their strength, if they are well prepared, the possibility of success is still very high.

Although the Corpse-Driving Demon and the King of Poisons arrived in Xinzheng earlier because of Su Xuan, it was impossible for them to know the escort route as detailed as Ji Wuye. By the time they arrived, they were already one step late.

The military pay had been robbed by Ji Wuye long ago, or even swapped before it could be transported, so they naturally had to return empty-handed.

Today's South Korea is like a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite.

Chapter 51: Nong Yu

On the top floor of Zilanxuan, in a private room facing the street, Su Xuan was lying on his side on a soft couch, holding a wine bottle, shaking his head, as if he was intoxicated.

The melodious piano music sounded like pearls falling on a jade plate, and the moving melody seemed to bring Su Xuan to another world.

The sky here is clear and everything is reviving. Between the mountains and rivers, the blue waves are rippling, there are hundreds of flowers blooming, the wind is chasing butterflies, and cicadas are singing, presenting a scene full of vitality.

Su Xuan believes that there are two most beautiful moments in life.

In an afternoon, bathing in the sun and overlooking the sea,

Lying on the green grass slope with the breeze blowing, looking into the distance at the sky, taking a nap.

Su Xuan seemed to be lying on the lawn at this moment. The beautiful and melodious piano music was like a gentle breeze, washing away all the distracting thoughts in his heart.

As a master of the art of playing the zither, Su Xuan finally understood how Boya felt when he met Zhong Ziqi.

This was the feeling of finding a soulmate. The pure and flawless piano sound completely immersed Su Xuan's mind. He gently plucked the piano with his palms, as if plucking invisible strings, and played the piano in harmony with Nong Yu.

Is this, the song of the heartstrings?

Nanyue knelt on the cushion, her lips slightly open and her eyes filled with surprise.

There are two kinds of music played: one is music for the strings, and the other is music for the heartstrings.

Everyone can hear the music played by the strings, but only those with the most passionate and emotional feelings can hear the music played by the heartstrings.

At this moment, Nongyu heard the heartstrings music played by Su Xuan.

As the sound of the piano reached her ears, Nongyu felt as if she was personally there.

This is a vast and boundless ocean. The surface of the sea is as calm as an ancient well, clear and bright as a mirror. With the movement of the strings, the surface of the sea gradually becomes turbulent. Nongyu can even clearly feel the sea breeze caressing her face.

The sound of the piano seemed to contain a magical power, and the sadness in her heart disappeared at this moment.

She felt the pure joy contained in the piano music. Gradually, she became absorbed in listening to it, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

When the song was over, she still felt a little unsatisfied.

Su Xuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at Nong Yu, and took a sip of the wine.

She wore an orange-yellow long skirt inside and a moon-white half-sleeved long skirt outside. There were yellow patterns on the cuffs and hem of the skirt. Her facial features were simple, her eyes were bright, and her soft burgundy hair fell to her waist. Her soft waist was tightly bound with a golden waist belt, showing off her beautiful figure.

Although she is the age of a girl, she has the mature figure of a young woman.

The saying "when you look down you can't see your toes" is probably just like this.

"The sound of the zither played by Miss Nanyue is pure and flawless, making people feel as if they are actually there." Su Xuan clapped his hands and praised, "Even the music played by the famous teacher Kuang Xiu of the Zhao State is probably no better than this."

"Brother Su Xuan, you are too kind. Master Kuang Xiu is a master of the zither. Nong Yu is far behind him." Nong Yu lowered her eyebrows, and gently stroked the strings of the zither with her bare hands. "The heartstrings music played by Brother Su Xuan is harmonious and peaceful, tranquil and beautiful, which makes people feel leisurely and fascinated."

"Nongyu would like to thank Brother Su Xuan here." She had a gentle temperament, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she looked a little shy. Her autumn-water eyes looked at Su Xuan curiously.

Since ancient times, the sound of the zither and the flute has been the perfect match, but Su Xuan's heartstrings music, combined with the sound of the zither she played, did not feel abrupt at all. The two songs blended perfectly together to form a peerless zither music that left her with endless aftertaste.

"Song of the Heartstrings?" Zi Nu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Su Xuan's slender five fingers.

His attainments in playing the zither have actually reached this level?

How many secrets are hidden in him?

"The song played by Miss Nanyue has a sad and graceful melody, yet full of warmth, and seems to contain many past events." Su Xuan glanced at the fire rain agate on her waist inconspicuously.

"Brother Su Xuan, you are wise. Nongyu has been learning the piano since she was young. It is inevitable that her mind is elsewhere when she plays." She lowered her head, her eyes dim, and a hint of loss flashed in her eyes.

Zi Nu stood aside, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and sighed softly.

Su Xuan naturally knew the reason, so he stopped there and did not ask any further questions.

The two began to exchange some experiences about playing the piano. Su Xuan made some unique suggestions from time to time, which made Nong Yu feel that she benefited a lot.

Her eyes were bright, and she stared at Su Xuan intently, listening attentively.

Zi Nu's eyes were bright and she looked at the two of them thoughtfully, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.

After spending some time together, she has gained a deeper understanding of Su Xuan.

She raised Nongyu since she was a child. Nongyu was both her sister and her daughter, so she naturally cared about her very much.

If it was him, even if she was not his legal wife, she would be a very good choice for Nong Yu.

She did not stop them. It would be a good thing if they could fall in love with each other.

Not long after, Wei Zhuang walked in. He first glanced at Su Xuan, then said, "Last night, there was news from Qi Jue Tang that the 100,000 taels of gold that were originally sent to the Nanyang border mysteriously disappeared."

"It is said that it rained heavily that night, and the ghost soldiers robbed the road. In just a few moments, 100,000 taels of gold disappeared without a trace in the heavy rain."

"Are there really ghost soldiers in this world?" Zi Nu crossed her arms across her chest, a gleam of wisdom in her eyes.

"I found some interesting things at the crime scene, but they may be the key to solving the case." Wei Zhuang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and took out a wooden box from his arms. Several pieces of water-dispersible gold that looked exactly like gold were placed inside.

"What is this?" Zi Nu picked up one of the gold pieces and examined it carefully, and came to her own conclusion, "Water dissolves gold!"

"It seems that someone stole 100,000 taels of gold in advance and used the ghost soldiers' robbery as a cover-up."

"There are only a handful of people in Xinzheng who have this ability."

Su Xuan sat aside and watched their deductions with interest.
