Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

He slowly stood up, opened the curtains, and looked towards Xinzheng Street.

On the street, Han Fei was wearing a Confucian scarf and leading a white horse, looking exhausted.

A young and beautiful figure came bouncing towards us to greet us.

The two had a close relationship, and the person was Han Fei's sister Honglian.

Junior brother, the curtain of the times has been opened, and it is time for you and me to step onto the stage called Seven Kingdoms.

Chapter 52 Han Fei Returns to His Country

That night, Su Xuan met Han Fei at Zi Lan Xuan.

"Brother, long time no see!" Han Fei looked surprised and wanted to come over to hug Su Xuan, but Su Xuan pushed him away with a look of disgust.

"Haha, senior brother is still the same." Han Fei didn't care. He sat down leisurely, acting very casually.

"It is said that there is a fine wine in Zilanxuan, called Hanlu Lanhua Wine. If my guess is correct, it must be this wine." Han Fei picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for each of them. "Since you have come to Korea, Han Fei will do his best to be a good host. All the expenses today will be paid by you."

Su Xuan's eyes lit up, and he patted Han Fei's shoulder with a smile.

"Junior brother, you said this!"

Han Fei suddenly had a bad feeling.

"This is my junior brother Han Fei, also the ninth son of Han State." Su Xuan introduced to Zi Nu, "My junior brother doesn't have much else, but he counts the most money. Zi Lan Xuan has the most expensive things, so Miss Zi Nu, just tell the girls to bring them up."

Zi Nu looked at Han Fei with sympathy and said with a sweet laugh, "Thank you, Mr. Su Xuan and Mr. Jiu, for your support."

Han Fei's eyebrows twitched and he smiled bitterly. It seemed that he was bound to be slaughtered today.

However, what he didn't expect was yet to come.

"Oh, Miss Zi Nu, remember to prepare a hundred jars of Hanlu Orchid Wine for me and send them to my house later." Su Xuan seemed to remember something, slapped his head fiercely, and continued, "As for the bill, please find my junior brother."

Zi Nu responded with a "yes", smiling coquettishly, trembling, "The Ninth Young Master is a Korean young master, so he will not bully weak women like us."

Han Fei's eyebrows twitched wildly, and he quickly swallowed his saliva and laughed dryly, "Brother, what I just said was just polite, don't take it seriously."

"If a man is not trustworthy, I don't know what he can do. A big cart without a yoke, and a small cart without a shaft, how can they move?" Su Xuan's eyes focused, and he slammed "The Analects of Confucius" on the table.

"It was not until today that I finally understood why the teacher gave me the Analects before leaving." Su Xuan sighed, "The teacher was telling me that if you are reasonable, you can go anywhere in the world, but if you are unreasonable, you can't go anywhere."

He suddenly turned his gaze to Han Fei, "Brother, do you want to talk to me about reason?"

Han Fei saw Su Xuan put his hand on the Analects and subconsciously covered his head with his hands. That familiar action made people feel distressed.

Han Fei felt like his head was huge, and there was a faint sense of pain.

Talking to your senior brother about reason? Your senior brother is talking nonsense to you!

Han Fei had suffered a lot in the past few years, and he almost developed the Iron Head Skill. How could Han Fei, who had been beaten repeatedly, dare to refute? Not to mention that he was in the wrong.

He laughed awkwardly, feeling his heart bleeding, "Brother, what you said makes sense."

"A loss in one place may bring a gain in another. Today, my junior brother invited me to drink, and I will introduce a talented person to you. If you can convince the King of Han to employ him, it will surely change the weak status quo of the Kingdom of Han." Su Xuan picked up the wine jar and took a sip of orchid wine.

"Brother, you are really merciless." Han Fei's mouth twitched, and then he looked at Su Xuan with interest, "Who is the person you are talking about?"

"The contemporary heir of Guiguzi is Wei Zhuang." Su Xuan said word by word, "He should be in Zilanxuan now. If you are interested, you can meet him."

It's him?

Han Fei's eyes moved, and he said without hesitation, "Please help me introduce you, brother."

Su Xuan looked at Zi Nu, who immediately understood, "He should be in the elegant residence in the inner courtyard of Zi Lan Xuan now. Ninth Master, follow me."

Han Fei nodded slightly, put away the cynical look on his face, and followed Zi Nu slowly.

After a while, Zi Nu turned back.

"Sir, do you think the Ninth Young Master can convince Wei Zhuang?" Zi Nu took lotus steps, twisted her slender waist, and walked gracefully to Su Xuan's side. She knelt on the cushion and poured him wine.

"The basis for cooperation between two people is to prove each other's ability. The case of the ghost soldier robbery is the best opportunity." Su Xuan picked up the wine bottle and looked at Zi Nu. "Although my junior brother seems careless and cynical on the surface and often lingers in romantic places, he is actually very smart and has great ambitions."

“He wanted to create a new Korea.”

Su Xuan took a sip and continued, "This is a huge project, and he cannot complete it alone. He needs like-minded partners. Miss Zi Nu and Brother Wei Zhuang are the best partners for him to join forces with."

"I always feel like you know everything, sir." Zi Nu's eyes were filled with surprise as she looked at Su Xuan repeatedly.

Su Xuan shrugged and said nothing.

"Brother Wei Zhuang has his reasons for helping South Korea, so what about Miss Zi Nu?" Su Xuan put down the wine bottle, looking more serious than ever before.

Under Su Xuan's gaze, Zi Nu's eyes dodged, somewhat afraid to look him in the eye.

Zi Lan Xuan has been growing stronger over the years and is located in an important area of ​​Xinzheng, and is coveted by countless people. She knows clearly that if Zi Lan Xuan wants to maintain long-term stability, it must find a reliable partner.

But she couldn't see a trustworthy person in the whole court. At the beginning, she did want to test Han Fei with Wei Zhuang. If he proved his ability, Zi Lanxuan could be his eyes. But at this time, Su Xuan appeared and made a deal with her, a deal she couldn't refuse.

Confucianism became her backer and helped her solve many problems. She knew that as long as she did not anger Ye Mu and stood on a neutral position, no matter how the court and the public quarreled, it would be difficult to touch Zi Lan Xuan.

"Sir, are you not planning to develop in Korea?" Zi Nu understood Su Xuan's meaning. He wanted Zi Lan Xuan to belong to him alone.

Su Xuan smiled and nodded.

"Sir, can you tell me how your plans for the future are going to develop?" Zi Nu pursed her lips and continued to ask.

It was not easy for her to make the decision, because it was not just her business, but also concerned the fate of all the girls in Zilanxuan.

So she had to be very careful.

Su Xuan's smile became even deeper, because he knew that if Zi Nu didn't have this intention, she wouldn't ask this.

All I have to do now is to give her a gentle push from behind.

"I plan to serve in the Qin State." Su Xuan looked at Zi Nu, observing her expression. "As for Zi Lan Xuan, I plan to build it into a business organization spanning seven countries, focusing on business and supplemented by intelligence. If the girls in Zi Lan Xuan are capable enough, they can serve as the heads of the branch pavilions. If Miss Zi Nu wants to take in lonely girls, she can let them work as sales clerks in the shop."

Su Xuan described it vividly, including the personnel arrangements and future development plans. He explained to Zi Nu in detail. A nearly perfect business blueprint was presented to Zi Nu, which made her heart beat fast and she had no reason to refuse.

He arranged everything perfectly, even the goods for sale were prepared, there were strange crystal balls called glass, perfumes with pleasant fragrance, and porcelain with glaze as bright as jade, all of which were rare treasures she had never seen before.

For Zi Nu, who is proficient in business, smelting, perfume making and porcelain making, no one knows the value of these things better than her.

As long as it has the protection of Qin, the most powerful country among the seven countries, it is only a matter of time before Zilanxuan's chamber of commerce spreads across the seven countries.

"Sir, do you trust me so much?" Zi Nu looked at Su Xuan with a complicated expression. She knew that when she knew these things, she would have no way out.

Of course, she no longer needed any other choice.

Su Xuan smiled and responded to Zi Nu, "Miss Zi Nu, do you still remember the four sentences I wrote at the beginning of the Warring States Strategy?"

He first let Zi Nu think for a while, then recited carefully, word by word, "Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity!"

"I plan to change the world, so that everyone can have enough food to eat and wear new clothes. No one will starve to death and no one will be displaced and helpless." He opened his arms and vividly depicted the future scene. His words were full of expressive power.

“Perhaps this goal is still out of reach now, but as long as we work hard, we will achieve it one day.”

There seemed to be flames burning in his eyes as he looked at Zi Nu with a burning gaze.

"Miss Zi Nu, are you willing to change the world with me?"

He stretched out his right hand.

Zi Nu's eyes sparkled with a strange light and her heart was trembling. She felt that the person in front of her was tall and strong, and his whole body was shining, which made her want to get closer to him.

A pair of delicate hands came up.

The two pairs of palms were clasped together tightly.

"I am willing."

Chapter 53 Life experience

The two looked at each other, holding hands, and when they came to their senses, a slightly ambiguous atmosphere gradually spread.

Watching her from a close distance, Su Xuan felt that Zi Nu seemed even more attractive.

The smooth skin like creamy jade, the smooth forehead, the delicate nose, the small and crystal lips like pearls, the graceful jawline, the mysterious and steady purple pupils, and the enchanting figure can make countless people intoxicated.

The dim light poured down, illuminating Zi Nu's face, adding a touch of hazy beauty. Only then did he realize that a slight blush had appeared on Zi Nu's cheeks at some point, and she was incredibly beautiful.

Su Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and took the initiative to let go of Zi Nu's hand.

Taking advantage of the opportunity and atmosphere just now, perhaps he could try to do some more intimate actions with Zi Nu, but more likely, what he would get in response would be a slap from Zi Nu.

She is rational and intelligent, and the time they have been together is short. During this period, she has at most some affection for me. It is unlikely that I can get her to completely give herself to me. Instead of breaking the relationship between them, it is better to let this ambiguous atmosphere continue. As time goes by, they will have experienced more things together, and have enough affection for each other, and then it will come naturally.

Zi Nu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the situation just now, if Su Xuan made some intimate moves, she really didn't know whether to refuse or accept.

Logically speaking, this was the best outcome, but for some reason, she felt a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart.

"Miss Zi Nu, can you tell me about Nanyue?" Su Xuan stroked his robe and sat down. "Perhaps I can help a little."

Zi Nu nodded and sighed, "Nong Yu was separated from her parents when she was still in her infancy. When I rescued her, she was already seriously injured. If it had been a little later, she might really have been beyond help."

"This child is naturally gentle and kind, with a pure heart. She has always believed that her parents did not abandon her on their own initiative, but must have done so out of necessity. Since she became sensible, she has missed her parents every once in a while and longed for the day when she could see them again." Zi Nu continued, "I also helped her find her parents, but unfortunately there were too few clues and there has been no news."

"The only thing related to her life experience is the Fire Rain Agate hanging around her waist. It was there when I rescued her. I think it was specially left to her by her parents."

"If it's Fire Rain Agate, I might know some clues." Su Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Miss Zi Nu, do you know Fire Rain Villa?"

Zi Nu nodded, "I followed this clue to look for Nanyue's parents, but unfortunately Huoyu Villa was affected by the war ten years ago and turned into ruins."

Fire Rain Agate is indeed a clue, but it is not unique. Fire Rain Villa was originally famous for its abundant production of Fire Rain Agate. Fire Rain Agate is still circulating in the markets of various countries. Relying solely on Fire Rain Agate to search for it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Miss Zi Nu, do you still remember where and when you rescued Nong Yu?" Su Xuan guided slowly.

"The ancient country of Baiyue ten years ago."

"Sir, do you mean that Nanyue's identity is related to Huoyu Villa?"

Zi Nu's eyes flickered, she had naturally thought of this possibility, but the Fire Rain Villa had been wiped out ten years ago, and the past of the Baiyue people had become a taboo in South Korea, so there was no way to investigate it at all.

Su Xuan nodded slightly, "The owner of Huoyu Villa, Lord Huoyu, has two daughters. If I guess correctly, one of them is Nanyue's mother."

"Sir, do you know their identities?"

Su Xuan shook his head. "It's just a guess."

"Although the affairs of the Baiyue in the past were kept secret, they were only known to South Korea. Miss Zi Nu, please don't forget that my friends are from the Baiyue, and they personally experienced the Baiyue War. It is not too difficult to get some information from them."

"Back then, Fire Rain Villa was hit by an unexpected incident and was tragically wiped out, but Lord Fire Rain's two daughters managed to escape by chance."

Su Xuan smiled slightly, "I was not sure of their identities at first, but last time, Zuo Sima Liu Yi caused trouble here and insisted on letting Nong Yu go, which aroused people's imagination."

“So I did a quick investigation and found something interesting.

Liu Yi's wife, Madam Hu, and Han Wang's favorite concubine, Lady Hu, are biological sisters. Following this clue, I bribed the older guards in the palace and got a piece of information. "

Su Xuan took a sip of tea and chuckled, "King Han and Lady Hu met ten years ago."

"One thing can be called a coincidence, but when several things are added together, it is no longer a coincidence."

"If my guess is correct, Liu Yi's wife, Madam Hu, should be Nanyue's mother."

Zi Nu's eyes were filled with surprise as she stared at the man in front of her.

With just this little clue, he actually found Nanyue's mother.

Moreover, it was well-reasoned and convincing, and she also agreed with it.

"Sir is truly a benefactor of Zilanxuan. Zilanxuan will rely more on you in the future." Zi Nu's eyes shone with a strange light, and she laughed softly, sexy and charming.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will tell Nong Yu the good news."

After just a cup of tea, a gentle woman rushed in. She looked excited and expectant, and walked quickly to Su Xuan.

"Su, Brother Su Xuan, did you really help me find my mother?"

She spoke with a slight wheeze, and from her appearance, it was obvious that she had run here in a hurry.

She looked at Su Xuan with hope and expectation in her eyes.

Su Xuan smiled and nodded, giving her a positive answer.

Nanyue was stunned in the place, as if she couldn't believe it, and her mind couldn't help but imagine what her parents would look like? What would she say to her parents when she met them again?

Anticipation, anxiety, joy, all kinds of emotions surged in her heart like the tide.

Tears were quietly falling from the corners of her eyes.

Su Xuan took out a piece of silk cloth from his bosom and wiped the tears from her eyes naturally, with a look of pity in his eyes, "You have been waiting for this day for a long time, right?"
