I really didn't want to burn it.

Therefore, Xiao He's conflicted reaction stemmed from his knowledge of the separation plan.

On the one hand, Xiao He knew that not separating the Qin Dynasty might lead to its direct destruction, so this was something that had to be done.

On the other hand, Xiao He was tempted by the convenience that magic brought, and he couldn't bring himself to do it.

In fact, Li Ang had similar thoughts to Xiao He, but he was also helpless in the face of this situation.

“I naturally know what Minister Wen is thinking, but... this matter is not easy to say…”

Li Ang had asked Ryougi Shiki whether it was possible to preserve the mysterious origins of Qin while separating from the Type-Moon world.

But Ryougi Shiki had absolutely no experience separating the world, so she had no idea what would happen.

"Prime Minister, I can only say that I will do my best in this matter. As the Prime Minister, you must be prepared for both possibilities."

In the end, Li Ang could only make this promise to Xiao He.

"I understand." Xiao He nodded. "With the Grand Preceptor's guarantee, I feel reassured, even though your credibility isn't great these days."

Li Ang immediately glared at him: "What? When did I ever go back on my word?"

Xiao He said, looking aggrieved, "Grand Preceptor, you've been emphasizing that there's no such thing as ghosts or gods with magical powers, but..."

"That was purely an accident!"

Even Li Ang, whose skin was as thick as a city wall, blushed upon hearing these words.

"puff……"

The maid standing behind Li Ang burst out laughing.

Chapter 182 Li Ang: About the incident of being summoned while hugging the maid

Afterwards, Li Ang stayed at the Xiao residence for almost half an hour.

Li Ang and Xiao He had a deep exchange of opinions on the current domestic and foreign affairs of the Qin Dynasty.

This is just a formality; in reality, it's about distributing the new benefits that come with the rapid expansion of the Qin Dynasty.

In general, Xiao He's ideas were similar to Li Ang's.

After all, Xiao He was trained by Li Ang and had some understanding of Li Ang's thoughts.

Li Ang was a staunch supporter of the Qin Empire, and Prime Minister Xiao naturally followed the Grand Preceptor as a loyal subject.

The newly conquered territory in the Western Regions is of paramount strategic importance to the Qin Empire and needs to be carefully managed.

It wasn't until dusk that Li Ang got up to say goodbye.

I have no choice but to go back; the tigresses at home have been keeping a close eye on me these past few days.

It's one thing for Li Ang to be dissolute and immoral in the Imperial Preceptor's mansion, but if he doesn't return home at night, he might have to endure the Flower Goddess's tentacle play.

Xiao He feigned reluctance and personally escorted Li Ang to his doorstep.

"Alright, Wenxiang, you can go back now," Li Ang instructed Xiao He. "You're not young anymore, be careful not to fall in the dark."

"You flatter me, Grand Preceptor." Xiao He grasped Li Ang's hand tightly and said, "I hope you will visit my humble abode often in the future, so that my juniors may sincerely seek your guidance."

Xiao He's words were exceptionally sincere.

After all, he was the prime minister himself, and he was too busy with work to have time to educate the younger generation.

Li Ang is different; he's very free now and has plenty of free time.

Moreover, Li Ang was extremely knowledgeable, arguably the most learned person in the entire Qin Dynasty. Especially in the field of mysticism, he was the absolute authority in Qin.

After all, parents everywhere share the same heart, and Xiao He was no exception. He naturally hoped that his descendants would achieve something.

“Teaching students… I haven’t been a teacher in a long time.” Li Ang rubbed his chin. “Here’s what we’ll do: Minister Wen, go find all those old friends. If any of them want their juniors to learn from me, send them to my residence. I’ll open a school.”

It's so boring to do nothing all day, I might as well take in a group of disciples to play with.

Xiao He was overjoyed and immediately bowed, saying, "I thank the Imperial Preceptor on their behalf."

Li Ang nodded and stepped into the carriage.

Several knights, carrying lanterns, led the way for the carriage, which gradually disappeared into the distance under their escort.

Xiao He stood at the door, watching Li Ang and his party disappear into the night.

Then, a figure secretly approached Xiao He and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Prime Minister!"

Xiao He waved his hand and said, "Tell your master that the matter he asked me to inquire about has been resolved..."

The other party immediately bowed deeply, saying, "Please enlighten me, Prime Minister!"

"The enfeoffment of states is indeed a reality, but the quota must be earned by oneself. If your master has any ideas, he needs to act quickly, lest he be snatched up by the King of Hannan like before."

When Li Ang was developing Nanyue, he announced it to the entire court. However, most of the court officials thought Nanyue was too harsh and refused to go. Only Liu Ji stood up and expressed his willingness to go.

Thus, the Qin Dynasty gained another King of Hannan.

With his eyes closed, Xiao He recalled Liu Ji's spirited appearance back then, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, I will report back to my master immediately."

"And another thing," Xiao He said slowly, "the Imperial Preceptor may open a school in a couple of days. If your master is interested, he can send his nephews to study there."

The other party's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed again: "Thank you, Prime Minister. My master will certainly repay you handsomely."

Xiao He nodded and waved his hand, saying, "You may go back now."

"promise!"

The other person quickly dodged and jogged in the other direction where Li Ang had left.

It disappeared into the darkness shortly afterward.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The horse-drawn carriage creaked and groaned as it made its way through the dark streets of Xianyang.

All around was silent, except for the clattering of the guards' cavalry hooves on the bluestone floor.

Li Ang leaned against the carriage wall, looking at DD with a smile, feeling bored.

"Master, what are you looking at?"

DD asked.

"You look good."

Li Ang smiled and took DD's hand.

But DD dismissively shook him off.

"You reek of alcohol. Take a shower when you get home."

"Never."

Li Ang smiled and grabbed DD's arm again.

With a little effort, he pulled the little maid over and held her in his arms.

"Can't we go back?"

DD frowned and asked.

"Hmm... let's kiss for a while first."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Ang had already found the maid's soft lips.

Seeing this, DD could only gently close his eyes.

The night was quiet, with only a few lights shining through the car windows.

The soundproofing in the carriage was good; DD couldn't hear any outside noises, only the man's breathing.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

DD stroked Li Ang's face, her own face flushed with embarrassment.

"Master, you're really getting more and more outrageous. You always ignored all my hints before," DD complained softly.

Li Ang winked playfully: "Don't you like it?"

"Master...Master...you are a scoundrel."

DD couldn't think of anything to say, so she could only let out a soft moan, which looked like she was being coquettish.

"There's nothing we can do. Our DD got jealous during the meal." Li Ang put his hand on DD's slender waist. "Since that's the case, I, the master, have no choice but to sacrifice myself to quell the fire."

“Master, you are just making excuses for your debauchery.”

"No, I'm serious."

After saying that, Li Ang grabbed DD's hand on his face and said, "DD, you hold a high place in my heart, so of course I have to make you happy."

"Tell me."

DD chuckled softly.

She enjoyed being pampered by Li Ang.

"You're my personal maid, and you have to take care of all my needs. If you piss me off, I might be drinking tea with chili powder tomorrow."

Li Ang said with a look of fear and apprehension.

DD, however, laughed smugly.

"Master, is there anything else?"

She continued to ask with great interest.

"Isn't this enough?"

Li Ang tilted his head.

DD shook his head slightly: "Of course not enough."

"Then... you are the only maid in the entire Qin Dynasty. If you get angry, I won't be able to play this game anymore."

Li Ang's hand slid down from the maid's waist, caressing her long, beautiful legs through her black silk stockings.

"As expected... you get what you pay for. Spending so much money on real silk stockings was definitely the right thing to do," Li Ang joked.

"So... Master, do you like my legs, or the stockings on my legs?" DD teased with a half-smile.

"like it all."

Li Ang answered without hesitation.

"As the saying goes, a fine sword is for a hero, and rouge is for a beautiful woman. Perfect black silk stockings are perfect thighs plus high-quality stockings; neither can be missing."

While Li Ang was spouting nonsense with a straight face, his hands didn't stop moving.

"How can you say that, 'master'?"

DD, who was initially touched, suddenly became both amused and exasperated, and she slapped away Li Ang's hand from her thigh.

"I won't let you touch me anymore."

"If you won't let me touch you, who else can?"

Li Ang ran his hands through her beautiful black hair, gently rubbing the maid's cheeks.

“DD, you are my maid. No matter what happens, that will never change. You are mine.”

Li Ang asserted his sovereignty over the maid in a very serious tone.

"...80 points, I think. I feel that you are not very suitable for this type of farewell."

DD commented.

"Hey!"

Ignoring Li Ang's complaints, DD put her arms around the man's neck.

The two then kissed again.

"Master, I think you're using a bit too much force."

DD complained to Li Ang while breathing heavily.
