Therefore, even if Shen Yuelan's eyes could help her catch Yin Ji as soon as possible, she didn't want to trouble that little bastard. Besides, it would be quite interesting to come here and compete with the two of them in wits and courage.
Of course, Gan Yuelong also expressed deep sympathy for Xunzi's experience. She also advised Xunzi and told him that he and Shaolan were actually not destined to be together.
Sooner or later, the connection between them will be severed by the power of historical revision. By then, no matter how reluctant they are, they will have no choice but to become strangers.
Upon hearing this, Xunzi stared at the night sky in silence for a long time, and finally answered her with this sentence.
[It is God's will, and I can do nothing about it. But it has not been corrected yet. She is still my wife. As long as she is my wife, Xun Kuang's ambition will not change! ]
Gan Yuelong was very envious of Xunzi's determination and infatuation. At the same time, she was also very curious about what kind of perfect woman could make this academic master so infatuated with her that she could not change his mind?
Shen Yuelan's answer was that she was a rather ordinary woman with ordinary looks, ordinary talent, and no special skills. If one had to say that she had something particularly outstanding, it would probably be her vision and luck.
She married Xunzi when he was the most ordinary, and married the right person when she was the most beautiful.
After Gan Yuelong hung up the phone, she curled her lips speechlessly. What's the point of marrying well? In the end, it's all in vain. The same thing happened to that little girl named Aluan. In Gan Yuelong's eyes, love is too illusory.
In Gan Yuelong's value system, what is held in one's hands is the most real. Of course, Gan Yuelong does not intend to use his own values to convince Xunzi.
With him in Zhao, the waters in the Three Jins could be further muddied, so he could take advantage of the situation and capture Yin Ji, who was still angry.
The king of Wei at that time was King Anxi of Wei. He was not very famous in history, but he had a famous brother, Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, one of the Four Princes of the Warring States Period, who was the one who stole the seal to save Zhao.
But this King Anxi of Wei also has a widely circulated story called "Longyang's Love", which comes from "The Strategies of the Warring States: Wei Strategies". The original text is as follows:
The King of Wei and Lord Longyang went fishing in the same boat. Lord Longyang caught more than ten fish and burst into tears.
The king said: [Are you worried about something? If so, why didn’t you tell me?]
He replied: [I dare not be uneasy.]
The king asked: "Then why are you crying?"
He replied: [This is the fish I got for the king.]
The king asked: What does it mean?
He replied, "When I first caught the fish, I was very happy. Later, I caught something even bigger. Now I am ready to throw away what I caught before. Now, I am a vicious person, but I have been able to sweep the pillows and beds for the king. Now I have been promoted to the rank of a monarch, and I am able to entertain people in the court and on the road. There are many beauties in the world. When they hear that I have been favored by the king, they will surely lift their skirts and rush to the king. I am just like the fish I caught before. I will also throw it away. How can I not shed tears?"
The King of Wei said: [Wrong! If you have such intention, why don’t you tell me? ]
So he issued an order throughout the four borders: "Anyone who dares to talk about beauty will be executed."
Translated, it means that one day, King Anxi of Wei was fishing with Lord Longyang on the same boat. After catching more than a dozen fish, Lord Longyang actually started crying. King Anxi of Wei was surprised and asked him the reason.
Longyang Jun said that he was very happy when he caught his first fish. Later, as he caught bigger and bigger fish, he threw away the small fish. From this he thought about himself and used fish as an example to illustrate his views on people. Suddenly he remembered that there are so many beauties in this world.
When she gets old and loses her looks, King Anxi of Wei will surely abandon her for the new and favor other beauties, just like she threw away the fish, so she cries.
In order to prevent Lord Longyang from being sad and worried, King Anxi of Wei issued an order prohibiting the selection of beauties to enter the palace. Those who violated the ban would be executed along with their entire family, in order to express his love for Lord Longyang.
Gan Yuelong was greatly shocked by King Anxi of Wei's preference, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not impossible. After all, in history, there was only one same-sex couple, King Anxi of Wei and Lord Longyang.
There are dozens of famous same-sex couples, such as Duke Ling of Wei and Mi Zixia in the story of "The Love of Sharing a Peach", Emperor Ai of Han and Prince's attendant Dong Xian in the story of "The Habit of Broken Sleeves".
But what Gan Yuelong couldn't accept was that King Anxi of Wei was actually an omnivore who ate both meat and vegetables, and both men and women. This made it a bit difficult to deal with. It was somewhat dangerous to be an advisor to this guy, and even disguising as a man or a woman was risky.
If you are not careful, you may easily get yourself involved. Although Gan Yuelong has thousands of ways to avoid sex, and it is very simple to cast an illusion, the King of Wei is short and weak, and the time is short and the number of times is high, so it is very troublesome to repeat the operation.
Looking at the Wei Palace filled with the aura of Long Yang, Gan Yuelong sighed softly. In desperation, she could only make the second best choice of becoming another person's retainer, and planned to influence the political situation of Wei through him.
Chapter 198: Family disgrace should not be made public
The person Gan Yuelong chose was none other than the famous brother of King Anxi of Wei, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji.
It is said that this man was kind and generous, and courteous to the wise and humble. Scholars flocked to him and at his peak he had three thousand guests. He enjoyed an international reputation and never turned away anyone, making him a great place to fish in troubled waters.
According to the information obtained from Xunzi, Yin Ji seemed to have been the concubine of King Hanli for a period of time in recent years. However, she did not seem to be favored, after all, King Hanli was already terminally ill and unable to have sex.
So after staying in the King of Han's palace for a while, Yin Ji was kicked out. It is said that she has now gone to Han Fei's home and is serving as the enlightenment teacher of young Han Fei in the Han Mansion.
Gan Yuelong didn’t know what she, a French enchantress, could teach the children, so she had to make sure they didn’t lead them astray.
Han Fei was the founder of the Legalist school after all, and his ideas were the theoretical basis for the birth of the first centralized state in China. The influence is profound. If we were corrupted by her, it would be a disaster, and the entire Chinese history would be in danger of collapse.
I have to go and see it that day. Han Feizi's teacher should be that guy Xunzi. I'd better introduce Han Feizi to him that day to distract his attention.
As for Yin Ji, since the specific location of this guy has been determined, let her wander around for two more days. Gan Yuelong is really afraid of those hungry little beauties in the organization and doesn't want to go back too early, so let her fish for two more days.
Xinling Jun’s wife is still quite pretty, so let her enjoy her for two more days, just two days!
Gan Yuelong's admiration lasted for five years. Because it took so long, Yin Ji had to take the initiative to bring Han Feizi to her to remind her that it was time to get down to business.
At that time, Gan Yuelong was having a great time with his mistress.
[Alas, you horny bastard, you are still so unreliable. Didn't I ask Xun Kuang to tell you where I was? Why didn't you make any move? Instead, you are here hanging out with Xinling Jun's woman. I have been waiting for you in Xinzheng for five or six years.]
[Hehe, of course I know that it was you who asked Xun Kuang to reveal it to me. Don’t I know you? You are a stubborn tsundere with a hard mouth but a soft heart. Now tsunderes are out of favor. ]
[Humph, I am proud and I am happy, what do you care! So have you had enough fun? It’s time to go back and pay those bastards their wages. You have to go back and sign! ]
[Oh, I have already signed it. Here is the approval form. You should go back quickly. Xingyan must have prepared the meal and is waiting to apologize to you. I won't go back. I can't save face in front of her.]
[Haha, you really know how to make excuses for yourself, Gan Yuelong. When did you ever need to worry about the things between Xingyan and me? Come back with me quickly. There is a lot of work to do over there.]
[Don't tell me you want to protect Miss Shen. Miss Shen's family lived well in the Warring States Period. The test I set for them was no problem for them. Do you think you need to protect someone who can easily destroy an entire country? ]
[Tsk, having students who are too good is not a good thing. They can't even slack off. So the atomic bomb is also a test? Your test is a bit too outrageous.]
[Um, that atomic bomb was an accident. I didn't intend to give it to the Queen, but I left in a hurry and left it in the Qi Palace. When I returned, the nuclear bomb had already exploded.]
[What kind of rubbish nuclear bomb did you buy? Can the toughened shell be exploded by cold weapons? ]
[Well, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run the household. You can save as much as you can. I got this batch of nuclear bombs from a certain American enchantress who was having a promotion when I was browsing the black market. The price is one tenth of the normal price, but the explosion effect is exactly the same.]
[Nonsense, can't you make a nuclear fission reaction yourself? Isn't the value of a nuclear bomb due to its protective shell? You're losing money if you spend one tenth of the money on those firecrackers that explode at the touch of a button. How did you get fooled again, Yin Ji?]
[It's that American enchantress who deceives you every time. I seriously suspect that you two are having an affair! ]
[Humph, Gan Yuelong, you have to have a conscience. You can doubt my intelligence, but you can never question my loyalty to you. I have been with you for so many years and have never left you. How can you miss me so much? Woohoo, it's so sad! ]
Looking at Yin Ji who was crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide, Gan Yuelong regretted very much that he had been so mean. Why did he provoke her for no reason? Alas.
[Okay, okay, I get it. I will go back with you, but please allow me to stay for a while. I still have some things to deal with. Once I have arranged everything, we will set off, okay? ]
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Yin Ji stopped crying. She also planned to go and see Shen Yuelan. After all, she had indeed caused her a lot of trouble.
Gan Yuelong also expressed her support for Yin Ji's idea. However, she forbade Yin Ji to reveal more details to Shen Yuelan. After all, she still had to save her face.
Although Yin Ji didn't quite understand Gan Yuelong's train of thought, as the person in charge of internal affairs in the organization, Yin Ji was very clear about the essence of the saying "Don't air your dirty laundry in public", so she readily agreed to Gan Yuelong's request.
So not long after, Shen Yuelan, who was watching the fight between Qin mother and son on the outskirts of Xianyang, suddenly welcomed three unexpected guests.
[Hmm? Oh my, isn't this the old so-and-so from someone's family? What wind could bring you here? And who is this beautiful lady next to you? She's so pretty! Oh, Wanchuan is back too? Come and have some fruit.]
Although Shen Yuelan didn't know what Gan Yuelong meant by bringing a strange woman to visit her, it was always right to praise her as much as possible, as it is not wrong to hit a smiling person.
[Haha, I haven't seen you for a few years. My captain has become more and more slick. Let me introduce you to Miss Yin Ji who dropped a nuclear bomb on you. She is also my first enchantress.]
Before Gan Yuelong finished her introduction, Yin Ji at the side glared at her fiercely and said, "If you can speak, just say more. No one thinks you are mute!"
[Ah, um, hello, Miss Shen, I am Yin Ji, I think the master has already told you about me before, although I am sure that it is not a good thing, but I am too lazy to explain. ]
[The purpose of my coming here today is to apologize to you. In the previous Qi State, I caused you a lot of trouble and left you a nuclear bomb. For this, I am deeply sorry. ]
[Please believe me, that was not my original intention. It was just the result of my old age and poor memory. Although this reason cannot change the fact that I have caused you a lot of trouble.]
Chapter 199: Spending Money to Avoid Disaster
Shen Yuelan was full of suspicion about Yin Ji's statement. In addition to her distrust of Yin Ji herself, she was also doubtful about how Gan Yuelong could turn Yin Ji from an enemy into a friend in just a few years.
Didn't they say they had a falling out before? How come they reconciled so quickly? Shen Yuelan didn't know the details, so she didn't respond to Yin Ji's apology in time.
Seeing this, Gan Yuelong knew that Shen Yuelan still had doubts in her heart. In order to ease the relationship between the two, she had no choice but to put aside her old face and take the initiative to explain for Yin Ji.
[Forget it, now that things have come to this, it doesn’t matter if I tell you everything. This is what happened…]
After learning that Yin Ji was the chief financial officer under Gan Yuelong, Shen Yuelan felt embarrassed to keep a straight face. After all, she was an acquaintance and who knew if she would need her help in the future, so it was better not to go too far.
[So that's how it is. Sister Yuelong, you hid it really well. No one knows that you are the leader of such a big power.]
[Humph, otherwise why would I say you are a child? This is no secret in the circle. It can be said that those who know about it all know about it, and those who should not know about it will never know about it in their lifetime. This is class.]
Shen Yuelan curled her lips when she heard this. "What class?" It's a pity you weren't born in the Republic of China, otherwise I would let you know what class revolution is in minutes.
[Yes, yes, my lady, so I should be honored to know this? ]
[That's not necessary. After all, there are people in your family who are of a position no less important than mine. It's only a matter of time before you know about this. That's why I'm willing to tell you.]
[That guy Mi Yuan, right? Okay, okay, I knew you must have known that guy's identity a long time ago, so just keep it in the dark for me. ]
[Hehe, it seems that you have established an effective communication channel. Let me guess when it started. Hmm, it should be the last few days of the prosperous Tang Dynasty dream? I remember that the dream seemed a little abnormal during those two days. Am I right? ]
[Right, right, right. So you knew that the dream was abnormal, but you didn't rescue me? ]
[Um, well, can I say that I am old too? ]
Looking at everyone's suspicious eyes, Gan Yuelong wiped her nose guiltily. Could she say that she was not in the surface world at all during those days, so the main reason was that she couldn't get back in time?
I always feel like I'll be beaten to death if I do that, so forget it. I'll just give the little girl a little compensation, and that'll be a way to avoid disaster.
[Okay, I won't tell you the specific reasons. Anyway, I will give you a complete set of European-style building data models as compensation. Can this help my captain calm down? ]
Looking at the tempting castle manor in Gan Yuelong's hand, Shen Yuelan swallowed unconsciously. Although she still wanted to hold on, she was eventually succumbed to the fantastic and beautiful scenery.
[Okay, okay, I'll let you go this time, but you're really stingy. You only gave me a data model, even though it's so easy to make.]
[Huh? Easy? Ah, if I had your pair of red eyes, it would not be difficult to make this model, but the problem is that you are special, and your eyes are also special. What you can do easily does not mean that others can do it easily.]
[Hehe, although I don’t think I’m that special, I don’t think you’re that ordinary, Sister Yuelong. Who among those who can live for more than ten thousand years is an easy person? ]
[Heh, I'll take that as a compliment. Anyway, the market price of my Swan Lake Castle is not cheap. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out. I don't mean to flatter you at all.]
Shen Yuelan naturally knew that what Gan Yuelong said was true, but it was also very uncomfortable to give gifts that did not please the recipient. No wonder Gan Yuelong was only a team leader after working for more than ten thousand years.
Gan Yuelong could tell at a glance that Shen Yuelan was definitely up to no good. Maybe she was dissatisfied with the things she had given her. Tsk, she had never given the right things in all these years. She had to admit that this was also a kind of talent.
[Okay, let’s just leave it at that for now and get back to the subject.]
[Ms. Yin Ji, since you are Sister Yuelong's enchantress, let's forget about the atomic bomb for Sister Yuelong's sake.]
[However, I still hope that you can dispose of those inferior nuclear bombs as soon as possible. After all, I am still a little scared to be in the same room with you now. Although we will not be blown to ashes by a few nuclear bombs, it is quite expensive to buy a new body.]
[Besides, since you said that I have passed the test you set, there must be a reward for passing the level. As Sister Yuelong's financial manager, Miss Yin Ji will not be like Sister Yuelong and not give gifts, right? ]
Because Gan Yuelong was still there, Yin Ji did not react too much to Shen Yuelan's joke, but her red earlobes betrayed her, and Gan Yuelong, who was standing aside, was very dissatisfied.
[Okay Yin Ji, I'm done with the suspense. Hurry up and take out the things you prepared. If you delay any longer, this guy will never know how to frame me.]
[Haha, Master and Miss Shen are really interesting. Should we say they are indeed master and apprentice from the same lineage? ]
[In fact, the things I prepared were all made by myself, and they are not as valuable as the master's apology. This gift is actually a meeting gift I prepared for you. As for the customs clearance gift you mentioned, it was indeed my negligence. ]
[I will make it up to you next time we meet.]
The thing Yin Ji gave to Shen Yuelan was an exquisite pure white necklace made entirely of silver. The decoration at the bottom was also made of a thick French silver coin.
It is not clear what materials are mixed in, but it looks crystal white. It does not have the metallic luster like normal silverware. Instead, it has the softness of jade and feels as warm as jade to the touch, which is very pleasing.
Just as Shen Yuelan was admiring this work of art, Gan Yuelong seemed to have discovered something. She looked at Yin Ji thoughtfully.
However, she did not say much. After all, it was hard for her to say how many more years she could accompany them. In a sense, Gan Yuelong was very supportive of their idea of finding their own way out.
[Very beautiful artwork, I like it very much. I can feel Miss Yin Ji's heart from this gift. It is much better than some people's duck burgers. ]
[Hey, hey, hey, do you have to be so insinuating? My gift is pretty good, okay? There are so many girls out there who want it, just be content.]
Chapter 200: A War Without Gunfire
After completing the meeting with Shen Yuelan, Gan Yuelong took Yin Ji away. Before they left, Shen Yuelan asked Yin Ji about Xunzi's condition.
[By the way, Sister Yin Ji, how is Xun Kuang's pursuit of his wife going? ]
[Hey, although he is a genius in ancient and modern times, he is still an ordinary person after all. It is very difficult for him to change history without anyone's guidance. His idea of revitalizing Zhao, unifying the Three Jins, and preserving Changping is simply a fantasy. ]
[You can go back and persuade him. It's only been six or seven years since the Battle of Changping broke out. If you have the time, it would be better to rush to Changping City to store more food, or dig a tunnel directly.]
[These scholars always have high aspirations but low skills, and try to solve specific details through macro-level strategies, but they don’t know that this is a dead end. ]
[Anyway, his wife is also an abnormal individual. What's wrong with asking me to help him get his wife out of Changping? Does he have to save her himself?]
Although Yin Ji's complaints were not very reliable, Shen Yuelan still humbly accepted her suggestions. After all, the most important thing was to let this big Buddha leave with peace of mind.
Shen Yuelan was not worried about what kind of trouble Xunzi could cause. As long as she could get Yin Ji, to whom she had taken refuge, away, she would not be able to accomplish anything even if she did nothing.
If he finally came to her for help, she wouldn't mind being a good person and helping him get Shao Lan out. It's not a big deal.
Anyway, Xunzi was already over fifty years old at that time. Even if Shaolan was as beautiful as when they first met, the couple would definitely not cause any trouble.
