Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

What's your name?

"Qin Qi, hmm, he's a wanted criminal by the seven kingdoms. Why do you still want to hire me as a musician?"

Xue Nu looked at Qin Qi. When he talked about being wanted by the seven kingdoms, there was no fear on his face. Instead, there was a light laugh that showed no concern.

She felt the other person was quite strange, but she quite liked this kind of strange person—somewhat unconventional but unique.

"My name is Yuki-onna (Snow Woman)."

"If you are willing to be my musician and are not afraid of being reported by me, then I am willing to hire you and I don't care about your status as a wanted criminal."

"Okay, move over a bit and make room for me."

After hearing Xue Nu's words, Qin Qi got into the carriage without any hesitation, even pushing Xue Nu aside.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Who was that person? King Ying Zheng of Qin!

Qin Qi and Xue Nu's group arrived at a small town, and many of their companions left.

Some of them live here, while others have relatives or friends here.

"How wonderful it is that everyone has a place to belong, but where is my place to belong?"

As the snow woman looked at the groups of people leaving, she couldn't help but sigh.

After leaving the State of Zhao, she had been searching for a place where she could live a peaceful life, but now that there was war and turmoil everywhere, where could she find a peaceful place?

She had no relatives or friends, and in this vast world, she had nowhere to go.

"Women are just prone to this kind of complaining."

"The world is so vast, where can't I make my home? This carriage, this ground, wherever I am, is my place of peace."

Qin Qi smiled after hearing Xue Nu's sigh, and then spoke.

He couldn't understand the Snow Woman's thoughts. He never felt lost, nor did he feel that he had no place to live.

Even on the battlefield, even when two armies are facing each other, he can remain calm and composed.

The Snow Maiden looked at Qin Qi with a speechless expression: "Do you know how incredibly annoying it is to hear you say such things?"

“Your mental cultivation is not high enough. Once it is, you won’t be angry anymore. Let’s find a place to rest for a while and have something to eat.”

Qin Qi and his team need to rest here for a few days and replenish their supplies before they can set off again.

This group had no specific destination; they simply wandered between the seven kingdoms, with some leaving and others joining at each stop.

"Aren't you afraid someone will recognize you as a wanted criminal?"

The snow woman spoke.

"Don't worry too much about it. The world is so big, who knows who is who? They can't just arrest me because they suspect them."

Qin Qi didn't care much about this. In ancient society, it was extremely difficult to find someone, and the transmission of information was the first problem.

Furthermore, since information was not shared among the seven kingdoms, the possibility of being recognized was extremely slim.

The two wandered around the streets and finally found a tavern to go inside, where Qin Qi ordered some food.

It's only enough for about seventy people.

"You, can you finish all of this? Let me make it clear first, this money will be deducted from your future salary."

Looking at the food piled high on the table, Xue Nu could hardly believe that Qin Qi, who looked so thin, could eat so much!

"Don't worry, my biggest advantage is that I never renege on my debts. Keep track of how much you spent, and I'll definitely pay you back later."

Qin Qi ate heartily, and the food was quickly converted into life energy after entering his stomach, which was then used to strengthen himself.

"Have you heard? The states of Han and Qin are about to go to war again!"

"Hmm, where did you get this information? I've never heard of it before."

“I have a friend in South Korea who told me that the Qin envoy sent to South Korea was recently killed. Without proper guidance, war between the two countries is inevitable.”

"Qin has become a powerful and well-equipped state in recent years. If war really breaks out, Han will probably have a hard time resisting it."

Listening to the conversations of the others in the tavern, Xue Nu sighed and shook her head. She had originally planned to live in Korea for a while.

I never expected that war would break out so soon after I arrived.

"Now we can't go to South Korea, so we'll have to go to other countries."

"Alas, when will the turmoil in this world end? When will we see a day of peace?"

The Snow Maiden sighed softly to Qin Qi. She had many feelings in her heart, but she couldn't say them to anyone else.

I can only talk to Qin Qi, the fugitive from the seven kingdoms.

"When will it subside? When a powerful enough monarch will emerge in the future and sweep across the entire world."

"If we wipe out the other six countries in one fell swoop and unify the whole world, then we can probably win peace."

Qin Qi spoke. He didn't lower his voice intentionally, and two men at the next table heard what he said.

One of them asked with some curiosity.

"Then which country will be able to unify the whole world?"

"The State of Qin, King Ying Zheng of Qin."

Qin Qi spoke without hesitation. Everyone knew that Qin Shi Huang had swept across the six kingdoms and unified the world.

It is also an important point in the history of the Chinese people, and it remains so even in the story of Qin Shi Mingyue.

"Oh"

The man turned around and looked at the boy who was eating with his back to him, a very curious expression on his face:

“I have heard that people from other countries call Qin a barbarian state, that it does not understand benevolence and righteousness, and that it is called the tyrannical Qin.”

"Now that the six states are united against Qin, how dare you say that Qin will definitely unify the world in the future?"

This person was King Ying Zheng of Qin. At this time, he had not yet unified the six kingdoms, so he was not called Qin Shi Huang.

He was on his way to South Korea to investigate some matters and was taking a short break here.

"Barbarians, benevolence and righteousness, what is needed to rule the world is not status, nor benevolence and righteousness, but powerful military force."

"The idea of ​​the six states uniting against Qin is just a figure of speech; the six states were actually wary of and scheming against each other."

"Moreover, each country has its own internal problems, and their alliance will not last long before it collapses."

"Hey waiter, another bowl of rice, please."

Qin Qi had finished eating his rice and spoke to the waiter who had come over.

"Do you want to eat more?!"

Xue Nu looked at Qin Qi's flat stomach and thought, "Is this really a human stomach (abff) or some bottomless abyss?"

Is there enough money on her for them to eat?

The Snow Woman counted her travel expenses and felt a little uneasy.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up upon hearing Qin Qi's words; this was the first time he had heard such remarks. He asked again:

"If the Qin state wanted to destroy the other six states, what do you think it should do? What strategies and methods should it use?"

"Strategies and methods are all unnecessary. What the Qin state needs to unify the world is absolute military force!"

"If ten thousand men aren't enough, then one hundred thousand; if one hundred thousand men aren't enough, then one million! As Sun Tzu said, if you're not confident, then don't fight."

"If you want to fight, you need to be ten times, a hundred times stronger than your opponent. At that point, all your schemes and tricks will be useless."

"Everything seems so pale and powerless in the face of absolute power."

Qin Qi spoke.

"Hmph, according to you, all you need is force. Force can defeat enemies, but can force govern a country?"

"Governing a country still requires the law and the teachings of Confucianism. Simply pursuing force is nothing more than being a brute or a barbarian."

At this moment, scholars were sitting at another table. After hearing Qin Qi's words, they spoke up sarcastically:

"What right do you, a musician who plays the piano, have to discuss world affairs? Who do you think you are? Do you even deserve to?"

"Snapped!"

Qin Qi threw a chopstick at the other person, knocking out their tooth: "You think you're worthy to try and outdo me?"

"I just spoke to you. If you interrupt again, I'll shove this chopstick up your head, you believe me?"

If it were someone else, they would probably have tolerated it, and might even have tried to reason with the other party.

But the person sitting here is Qin Qi. He has a bad temper, and if the other party dares to talk to him like that, he will hit them.

Just as he had said before on Longhu Mountain, if someone tried to slap him, he would strike first and cut off their hand.

If someone dares to insult him, he'll knock out their teeth and smash their mouth!

"You, you, you wait... I..."

The man covered his mouth, looking at Qin Qi as if he wanted to say something harsh, but before he could say it, Qin Qi walked over with his zither.

"No need to wait, let's do it now. I want to see what you can do to me. If you do it, I'll beat you to death."

Qin Qi swung his zither and started hitting the other person, continuing until the other person was lying on the ground unable to move before stopping.

"Pah, you dare to boast with such little skill? Go back and practice your martial arts properly next time."

Qin used the other person's clothes to wipe the bloodstains off the zither, then sat back down and began to eat.

"Now I know why you're wanted by the seven kingdoms. It would be strange if you weren't wanted with a temper like that."

The Snow Maiden whispered to Qin Qi, who had sat down again.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm not the kind of person who's easily angered. I wouldn't kill someone just because they insulted me."

Qin Qi spoke.

Fortunately, the scholar who had fallen to the ground had already fainted, otherwise he would probably have fainted from anger upon hearing Qin Qi's words.

However, after this lesson, he should learn not to interrupt others when they are speaking.

"Judging from my expression, do you think I would believe what you're saying?"

Xue Nu looked at the scholar lying on the ground, then at Qin Qi, her face full of disbelief.

"Anyway, we don't have to pay for the medical expenses, so don't worry about it. Keep eating. Don't be shy, you should eat too."

Qin Qi realized that they had been eating there for a long time, and he had eaten all the food, but Xue Nu hadn't even touched her chopsticks.

"You eat first, and I'll eat after you're full."

Watching Qin Qi eat, Xue Nu felt herself getting a little too full.

The first mukbang (eating broadcast) scene of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods has appeared!

...............................

“Your Majesty… no, young master, judging from this man’s behavior, he doesn’t seem like a learned scholar at all; he’s more like a street thug.”

"You can just listen to what that person said and forget about it, but please don't take it to heart."

Ying Zheng's attendant whispered from the side.

“You may look like a street thug, but I don’t see it that way.”

"I have heard Confucius say that at fifteen I set my heart on learning, at thirty I stood firm, at forty I had no more doubts, at fifty I knew the will of Heaven, and at sixty my ear was attuned to the truth."

"At seventy, one can follow one's heart's desires without transgressing the rules!"

"What you see is that he has a bad temper and is prone to violence, but what I see is that he is unrestrained and follows his heart."

"Anger erupts, joy brings laughter, hunger brings satiation; everything is natural and unrestrained."

"This person is very interesting."

Ying Zheng believed that Qin Qi was likely a learned man who lived in seclusion among the people, and such people were not uncommon during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

"That person just said that a country should be governed by law and Confucianism. What do you think about this?"

"The way to govern a country and the way of the country cannot be compared. I ask you, what is a country? What is the foundation of a country?"

Qin Qi asked back.
