Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Nanyue came back to her senses and looked at Su Xuan. She found that his eyes were gentle, like a gentle spring breeze, giving her a warm and reliable feeling. She couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

She hummed inaudibly, lowered her head, and her cheeks flushed.

"Thank you, Brother Su Xuan."

Chapter 54 Ordinary Daily Life

"Woman, how are you going to thank me?" Su Xuan pushed Nongyu to the corner, lifted her chin, and smiled evilly.

The image of a domineering boss flirting with a girl suddenly popped up in Su Xuan's mind, making him laugh and cry.

This is not appropriate to use on Nanyue!

"Brother, what are you doing?" Han Fei's voice came at this time. He strode in with a wooden box in his hand and winked at Su Xuan.

Nanyue's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and remained silent.

Su Xuan remained calm, "Brother, are you coming back with a great harvest?"

"The successor of Guiguzi is indeed worthy of his reputation." Han Fei smiled proudly. It can be seen that they were communicating very happily.

"By the way, Senior Brother, the one I mortgaged to you before..."

"Mortgage, what mortgage? How come I don't know?" Su Xuan interrupted Han Fei and looked confused.

Han Fei's mouth twitched, and he regretted deeply. If he had known the current situation would happen, he would never have mortgaged the jade pendant to Su Xuan.

This is a big trouble. If I don’t get the jade pendant back, my stubborn and willful sister will not let me go easily.

"Ten times!" Han Fei made a painful expression and shouted out his price.

Su Xuan looked at him expressionlessly and ignored him.

Han Fei, Han Fei, just be prepared to become my brother-in-law.

How could he care about money? As long as he could get Honglian, wouldn't Han Fei work for him obediently?

Won’t all the money you have by then be yours?

Even though Han Fei offered a price a hundred times higher, Su Xuan remained unmoved.

Han Fei could only smile bitterly, feeling helpless.

There is no other reason, I just can’t beat him!

What’s even more infuriating is that you can’t tell Honglian about his evil ambitions, otherwise it will easily backfire.

In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it. It didn't matter if this guy was fickle. As long as he was good to Honglian, it was not a bad thing. Maybe he could use this opportunity to pull Su Xuan to the Korean front.

When he thought of this, he became worried again.

Because my senior brother’s ambition is so huge.

"Brother, if one day we become enemies, don't show any mercy to me." Han Fei suddenly said this when he was half drunk.

"As for me, I have long wanted to have a good fight with my senior brother."

Su Xuan glanced at him expressionlessly, picked up the Analects and swung it at him. With a clang, he knocked Han Fei to the ground.

Han Fei moved his lips, as if to say that Su Xuan had no moral principles. Then he felt dizzy and passed out.

Su Xuan snorted coldly.

You, a vulnerable little guy, still want to be my opponent? You are daydreaming!

"Brother Su Xuan, is the Ninth Young Master okay?" Looking at the unconscious Han Fei, Nanyue asked with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, my junior brother has been tough and thick-skinned since childhood." Su Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly. The daily life between the brothers was so simple and unpretentious.

"Miss Nanyue, do you want to meet your mother? Madam Hu usually stays at home and rarely interacts with others. If you want to meet her, you can only do so when she goes out to watch a play."

"Mrs. Hu and her sister Lady Hu go to the theater together every two weeks. In three days, the most famous actor in Zhao will have his first performance. Mrs. Hu and Lady Hu will definitely not miss it."

"Nongyu, please follow Brother Su Xuan's arrangements in everything." Nongyu nodded heavily.

As long as she could remember, she had been looking forward to this day for a very long time.

"That's what you said!" Su Xuan came to Nong Yu, put his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her seriously.

When the two looked at each other, Nanyue suddenly felt a little flustered.

What is Brother Su Xuan going to do? If he...

What should I do?

Thinking of this, she buried her head deeper.

"From now on, try to think less about this matter. In the next few days, do more happy things. As for the meeting, leave it to me." Su Xuan rubbed her hair and said helplessly, "For me, the thing I hate most is girls crying."

"Also, Miss Nanyue is actually very pretty when she smiles. You should smile more often in the future."

When Nanyue heard this, her heart trembled, and she felt a warm current running through her heart, and at the same time she felt a little ashamed unconsciously.

What on earth are you thinking about!

She hummed softly, as soft as a mosquito, and felt her cheeks getting hot and her head was about to steam.

It was so embarrassing! I actually thought of Brother Su Xuan like that!

"It's getting late now, go to bed early." Su Xuan said in a soft voice.

"Su, Brother Su Xuan, you, you should also go to bed early." She spoke haltingly, her eyes flashing, and her face looked even more radiant.

Seeing her like this, Su Xuan vaguely saw the young and shy self he once was. He was touched and responded gently, "Okay, I will."

"Brother Su Xuan, I'll leave first." She slowly stood up, gestured goodbye to Su Xuan, and finally closed the door gently.

Su Xuan looked emotional and thought to himself that if Nanyue was born in a peaceful era, she would definitely be a good wife and mother.

In later generations, this would probably be the lifelong partner that most men want.

It was a pity that he was born in this chaotic world, and ended up with a tragic end in order to assassinate Ji Wuye.

Su Xuan has always believed that he came to this world with his own mission and responsibilities.

Changing their fate and providing them with a warm haven, this is what he should do.

He will continue to work hard for it!

Su Xuan came to the window, looked at the bright moon in the sky, raised his glass and drank alone, as if he saw one stunningly beautiful face after another.

"When I was young, I had lofty ambitions and promised to be the most romantic in the world!"

“Still today!”

"what!"

As he spoke his heart out with a loud laugh, Su Xuan felt his heart become clearer.

"Sir, you are in such a good mood." A light laugh came into his ears. Su Xuan turned around and saw that Zi Nu had sat down beside him without him knowing when.

Su Xuan's eyes lit up. "Three days later, the most famous actor in Zhao will perform the Wushan Meeting. Madam Hu and Lady Hu will definitely not be absent. I have arranged for Nong Yu and Madam Hu to meet in the theater."

"Miss Zi Nu, would you like to do me the honor of going for a walk with me?" Su Xuan bent down, moved close to Zi Nu and asked softly.

Su Xuan's arrangements were extremely appropriate. Nongyu and Madam Hu recognized each other as mother and daughter, and he took this opportunity to improve his relationship with Zinu. It was a great plan that achieved multiple goals at one stroke!

"That is the place where nobles and princes come and go. I am of humble status and dare not take advantage of it." Zi Nu put down the wine glass, slowly stood up, and turned her back to Su Xuan.

"Miss Zi Nu, are you really confident about Nong Yu?" Facing Zi Nu's polite refusal, Su Xuan was not at all panicked.

"I feel at ease with you here, sir." Zi Nu chuckled, her eyes flashing with a hint of cunning that was barely perceptible.

Su Xuan sighed softly, "I feel relieved that Nanyue and Madam Hu will meet, but I am afraid that the Fire Rain Agate will attract the attention of some bad guys, so I asked Miss Zi Nu to go with us."

"Since Miss Zi Nu is unwilling, then I will think of another way. Even if I don't have any martial arts skills, I will do my best to protect them when encountering criminals."

Zi Nu was stunned where she stood. Before she could make any move, Su Xuan had already walked past her and was ready to push the door and leave.

"Wait a moment." Zi Nu spoke hurriedly.

A smile of triumph appeared on Su Xuan's lips.

Chapter 55 Meeting

Three days later.

Everyone gathered together on the top floor of Zi Lan Xuan.

"The recent case of the ghost soldiers robbing the court has caused panic among the people, but Junior Brother is drinking and having fun every day, sitting back and relaxing. I guess he must be confident." Su Xuan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "I heard that the five chief judges of the case of the ghost soldiers robbing the court died one after another, and no one is willing to take over the case. If this trend continues, the big fish Junior Brother is waiting for should be caught soon."

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, senior brother." Han Fei smiled bitterly and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Compared to seeking an official position, he would rather see someone in South Korea who could solve this strange case.

He seemed to be drinking and having fun, but in fact he was secretly observing the situation in the Korean court. Now it seems that the situation is much more serious than he imagined.

Even the military pay at the Nanyang border was robbed. One can imagine how corrupt the court is today.

"The ghost soldier robbery case seems to be treacherous and difficult to solve, but in fact it is full of loopholes, because in the whole of South Korea, there is only one person who has such ability and motive." Su Xuan paused and continued, "I think Junior Brother already has the answer in his mind."

The two looked at each other and called out the same name in tacit understanding.

Ji Wuye.

"Although I have just arrived in South Korea, I have some understanding of the situation in the Korean court. Now Ji Wuye controls the government, is extremely powerful, and is daring. If you want to change South Korea, in addition to entering the court, recruiting talents, and eliminating treacherous officials, it is also imperative." Su Xuan looked at Han Fei with a smile, "Junior brother, do you need my help?"

Han Fei's eyes lit up. "Brother, you really have a keen eye. I wonder what brilliant plan you have?"

Wei Zhuang leaned against the window, glanced at the two of them, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

"Ji Wuye's Ye Mu has infiltrated South Korea in all aspects, including military, politics, finance, and espionage. If we want to deal with him, we must naturally start from these aspects." Su Xuan picked up the wine bottle and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "I have found an ally worth winning over for my junior brother. With my junior brother's eloquence, it should not be difficult to convince her."

"I wonder who this person is?" Han Fei asked curiously.

"The favorite concubine of King Han, Lady Hu." Su Xuan smiled slightly, and then told Han Fei the whole story.

Han Fei looked at Nanyue in surprise. He had never thought that there was such a relationship between her and Lady Hu.

The sweet breeze beside your pillow is intoxicating and often more effective than the words of a minister.

Han Fei was well aware of the importance of this.

Wei Zhuang's eyes flickered slightly, Su Xuan's idea coincided with his.

If you want to deal with Ji Wuye, you must first pull out his teeth and claws. The Four Evil Generals of the Night are Ji Wuye's sharpest claws biting South Korea. Only by eliminating them one by one can Ji Wuye be truly defeated.

The four evil generals of the night are the Marquis in Blood Robe, the Emerald Tiger on the Stone, the Banshee in the Blue Sea, and the Man in Straw Raincoat under the Moon.

Chao Nuyao lives in the deep inner court, hiding beside the pillow of King Han. As the favorite concubines of King Han, Lady Hu and Chao Nuyao naturally have opposing positions. In Wei Zhuang's view, it is not difficult to win her over.

Zi Nu and Nong Yu looked at each other. They had known about this in advance and were not surprised.

"Brother, you have helped me a lot this time." Han Fei picked up the wine bottle, "Brother, Han Fei toasts you a glass."

Su Xuan clinked his glass with his and shook his head secretly.

If the king is powerful, why would it be so complicated to deal with Ji Wuye? With just one imperial edict, Ji Wuye can commit suicide.

In the past, Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers from the State of Zhao and was so famous that King Zhaoxiang of Qin issued an edict and sent an envoy to give him a sword and order him to commit suicide, but Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, could not refuse. So what could Ji Wuye do?

Unfortunately, in today's South Korea, Ji Wuye has already controlled everything. If this is done, it will only force Ji Wuye to rebel. There are only two ways to deal with Ji Wuye. One is to cut the Gordian knot, summon him into the palace, kill him quickly, and at the same time send heavy troops to eliminate his forces.

The second is to do as Han Fei did and take it step by step.

The former requires the support of the King of Han. Given the King of Han's stupidity and incompetence, as well as his trust in Ji Wuye, he obviously would not do so.

From the very beginning, Han Fei, restricted by the law, was destined to have only one choice.

This also doomed him to failure.

Junior brother, you succeed because of the law, but you are also destined to fail because of the law.

......

"Sister, you've kept me waiting for so long." A slightly complaining voice sounded. It was from the tall Miss Hu, who was wearing a pink dress.

She grasped Mrs. Hu's hand and asked with concern, "Sister is always on time and never late, but what delayed you?"

Mrs. Hu was dressed in a green robe, with a gentle temperament, giving people a feeling of elegance and tranquility. She said softly, "It may be that the road was slippery due to the rain, so we were delayed a little on the road."

She looked away and her right hand unconsciously grasped her dress.

The astute Lady Hu naturally noticed this scene.
