"Swords are inherently double-edged. Whether it hurts the enemy or yourself, the most important thing depends on the person holding the sword, right?"
Qin Zheng smiled indifferently, with a strong momentum flowing, and a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, and continued: "The seal of Mingshan was broken, and Li Chi sent a letter to Xianyang. If he hadn't arrived before, I might have believed that there was no problem, but now It’s problematic no matter how you look at it, if Li Chi is involved, what kind of role will he play?”
Hearing this, Xie Yunxiao's eyes flashed with admiration. As a disciple, he is now able to become a master in terms of insight into subtleties, but he still needs some training.
But this cannot be done in a hurry. Deliberate training can indeed train people in some aspects, but it cannot truly make a top strong person.
Only when you have experienced certain things and have certain memories that cannot be erased can you have the qualifications to become a truly top powerhouse. In this regard, Xie Yunxiao, as a master, cannot help Qin Zheng.
But the road ahead is not easy to navigate, and Xie Yunxiao is somewhat looking forward to Qin Zheng's future performance.
Xie Yunxiao has his own judgment on what kind of person Li Chi is. This time something happened in Mingshan, and he sent a letter to Xianyang, just as Qin Zheng said, there is indeed a big problem.
But Xie Yunxiao doesn't care about this. The crisis in Shannan County has been resolved. Unless the Eye of Death sealed in Mingshan Mountain breaks the seal, from now on, Shannan County, a county on the border, will probably become one of the peaceful and prosperous counties in Ningguo. one.
And the credit for all this is Li Chi.
As long as you have this, nothing else matters.
When we returned to the village, it was almost noon. After tidying up, we headed towards Xianyang. In nearly ten days, Xie Yunxiao and his party had arrived at the junction of Guanxi County and Xianyang.
In Xianyang, at Qin Jiao's house, apart from him, there was a white-haired old man and two middle-aged men present.
The white-haired old man was named Furukawa. He was good at strategy and was at the peak of the Eight Realms. He was originally the head of the Qingtian Sect. He was in the world, but his heart was in the court. It happened that Qin Jiao was recruiting talents, and he felt that he was in Qin Jiao's body. There is profit to be made, so he becomes Qin Jiao's guest.
The two middle-aged men were disciples of Furukawa, one was Zheng Xinglong and the other was Feng Hao, both of whom were in the Seventh Realm.
"Your Highness, I believe you already know about Shannan County. If the eldest prince is allowed to return to Xianyang smoothly, his reputation will inevitably rise to a higher level. In addition, the king already likes him. In this way, the people in the court will definitely Someone has to choose to take sides!" Furukawa said.
He is Qin Jiao's counselor and must plan everything for Qin Jiao. It is his responsibility to express his own opinions.
When Qin Jiao heard this, he couldn't help but squeeze his hands tightly under his sleeves, his eyes flashed with sharp light, and he said: "The key now is not here, but..."
"I understand, you want to take this opportunity to pull that person down?" Gu He said.
Qin Jiao nodded, and then said: "Zhisu Neishi is in charge of the Ningguo treasury. Once this position becomes ours, sir, do you know what this means?"
Furukawa said: "Old man will naturally understand!"
"Ignore Qin Zheng's side for now, but my third brother should pay attention. Behind him is the Gan family!" Qin Jiao said.
Furukawa nodded: "I am so happy that His Highness can think of this!"
"Mr. Gu taught me very well. In some ways, you are my master!" Qin Jiao knew Gu He's ability, and he wanted to further develop the relationship between them.
But Gu He said that he was not qualified to be Qin Jiao's master.
Now that Qin Jiao is bringing up the old matter again, he actually doesn't really want Furukawa to be his master, it's just a way to get closer to each other.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely get this done for you!" Furukawa said calmly.
How dare he become Qin Jiao's master? Changing the topic was just to give herself a step down, and to follow Qin Jiao's ideas. If he really had some unrealistic ideas, he would really be done with it.
A sharp light flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes. No matter what, as long as Gu He could be used for his own use, that would be good.
"Of course I believe Mr. Gu!" Qin Zheng said.
Furukawa stood up and said: "If His Highness has no other instructions, then I will leave first!"
"Sir, go and do your work!" Qin Jiao said. After Gu He left, he came to the yard behind. There stood a man in black clothes. It wasn't Xiao Mo, but who was it?
Xiao Mo is one of the four guardians of the Blood Moon Sect. This is no secret. Logically speaking, there is no room for maneuver between Ning Guo and the Blood Moon Sect. King Ning also wants to eradicate the Blood Moon Sect.
With Qin Jiao's temperament, he should have cut off contact with Xiao Mo long ago.
But Qin Jiao didn't, because Qin Jiao clearly understood that Xiao Mo had an agenda and was a useful chess piece for him.
The more Prince Ning wants to kill Xiao Mo, the better it is for him.
"Furuhe is available, but he may not be able to deal with Zhi Sumaishi!" Xiao Mo said.
Qin Jiao smiled faintly: "Of course it can't be just him. After all, this situation is very interesting now, isn't it?"
"Does Your Highness doubt me?" Xiao Mo asked.
Qin Jiao's eyes were filled with confidence: "If it weren't for you, who else would arrange it like this? But I do value the position of Zhi Su Neishi very much!"
"In that case, let's try to let someone from His Highness sit in this position!" Xiao Mo said.
When Qin Jiao heard this, his eyes glowed brightly and he said, "This is natural!"
Xie Yunxiao, Qin Zheng, and Meng Tian didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, which was very different from when they left.
Qin Zheng originally thought that this journey would be very troublesome, but who would have thought that it would be like this.
"Master, have you predicted that our journey will go smoothly?" Qin Zheng asked.
Xie Yunxiao smiled and said: "I am not a god, how can I predict these things, but I told you that adapting to circumstances is the key to dealing with any crisis!"
Qin Zheng nodded and said: "These four words are easy to say, but how difficult to do them. Fortunately, I have understood a little bit!"
Xie Yunxiao said: "After entering the city, you go to the palace and report everything about Shannan County to the king!"
"Don't worry, I've already prepared the discounts!" Qin Zheng said with a smile.
Xie Yunxiao nodded. Xianyang City was the most lively and prosperous city in Ningguo. After entering the city gate, Qin Zheng's carriage continued to move forward, while Xie Yunxiao went to the Humble Garden with Xiao An.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yu Buwei and Gan Chenlan were drinking.
"The eldest prince is back!" Gan Chenlan said.
Yu Buwei said: "The matter in Shannan County has been settled, it's time to come back!"
"The eldest prince's merits are not low. What kind of reward does the prime minister think the king will give to the eldest prince?" Gan Chenlan said.
Yu Buwei said: "How can you and I guess what the king is thinking? For the eldest prince who has made such a great contribution, no reward is too high!"
Gan Chenlan glanced at Yu Buwei, his eyes filled with deep meaning.
Yu Buwei is his friend, and it can be seen from some actions that he is on the same side as him, but Yu Buwei never expresses his attitude, and King Ning also trusts him.
Gan Chenlan couldn't help but secretly sigh at this time. This old friend of his was far smarter than he imagined.
"I think your chessboard is the most unpredictable!" Gan Chenlan said.
Yu Buwei's expression didn't change much when he heard the words. He said: "No matter how it changes, this chessboard is only of this size, and it will never deviate from its origin!"
Hearing this, Gan Chenlan couldn't help but chuckle: "I understand!"
When Qin Zheng came to the palace, King Ning was very happy. He took his eldest son and asked him this and that.
Along the way, Qin Zheng had already prepared a statement, but King Ning wanted Qin Zheng to tell it in person, so he gave the statement to Lin Bao and personally told King Ning everything about Shannan County.
Of course, he would not say anything about Li Chi's suspicions, nor did he go out of his way to praise Li Chi.
Prince Ning listened, was silent for a while, and said, "This Li Chi is the prime minister's disciple. He seems to be quite capable. The court needs ministers like him!"
"Right now, there are no vacant positions in the court. Erchen feels that even if Li Chi is to be reused, it is not now. If so, we can look at Li Chi again. After all, Erchen was in Shannan County for a long time. It’s not too long!” Qin Zheng said.
Of course, this was just talk. In fact, he was already thinking about how to get Li Chi to enter Xianyang.
Hearing this, King Ning's eyes showed admiration. He laughed loudly and said, "I am really happy that my son can have this opinion. Well, you won't leave the palace for the time being and go see your mother. In the evening, I will Dine with you, mother and son!"
This palace is not a peaceful place. Qin Zheng knows that if King Ning does this tonight, neither the Queen nor Mrs. Gan will be able to sit still.
But the current situation meant that we could only continue on, with no way out, so Qin Zheng readily agreed.
Prince Ning was very happy, and then went to the imperial study room to deal with the memorial.
Qin Zheng came to Zhao Yu and had not seen his son for a long time. Mrs. Zhao missed her son very much. After meeting him, she asked him this and that, just like Prince Ning.
"Zheng'er, I'm afraid your road will be very difficult. My mother has heard a lot in this palace. The queen's son Qin Jiao is not an easy person, and behind the third prince Qin Sheng is the Gan family!" Zhao Yu said.
Qin Zheng smiled and said: "My child has known how difficult this road is from the beginning, but after we return to Ningguo, all this is beyond our control. What we can do is to strengthen our confidence and take this road to the next level." Go on, otherwise you will die!"
When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "If I knew what the situation would be like when I returned to Ning Country, I would rather not come back!"
"No, we must come back and stay in Ningguo. Our destiny is ultimately in the hands of others!" Qin Zheng put his hands behind his back, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
He has no choice in life, but precisely because he has no choice, it is the best choice.
He used to walk alone on the road, but now there is Xie Yunxiao on the road. For him, this is enough.
Returning to the humble garden, Xie Yunxiao called Uncle Zheng over.
"Uncle Zheng, there must be a lot of interesting things happening in Xianyang recently. Come tell me about it!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Uncle Zheng looked kind and kind, smiled and nodded and said: "There are indeed some interesting things, I will tell you about them!"
Hearing this, Xie Yunxiao had a sunny smile on his face and said, "Uncle Zheng's ability to tell stories has always been amazing!"
Uncle Zheng is the steward of the Humble Garden and is also an expert at collecting intelligence. Although his cultivation is not very good, he is someone Xie Yunxiao relies on and has a high status in the Humble Garden.
In the humble garden, except for Xiao An, everyone who saw him was respectful.
