Outside the Han Palace
Han Fei and Li Si walked out of the palace. They had just faced each other tit for tat in the palace. The two of them, who had ten days as the deadline to investigate the death of the previous Qin envoy, acted as if nothing had happened.
Li Si turned around and handed the banner to the leader of the 200-man Qin army. Li Si, who no longer faced Han Fei as the Qin envoy, finally had time to chat with his senior brother about private matters.
Walking on the street, Li Si looked at the bustling streets and the people setting up stalls on both sides of the road, and then at Han Fei, who was wearing a luxurious purple robe next to him, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
This senior brother of mine was indeed born into a noble family. He was born with things that ordinary people might not be able to obtain through hard work in their lifetime, but his background also limited his achievements.
During the court meeting in the Korean court just now, he launched an attack to accuse him, but no one in the huge Korean court dared to stand up and argue with him, except for his senior brother.
All the civil and military officials, except for Ji Wuye, Bai Yifei and Kaifangdi Yi, were all silent, and most of them looked frightened. They even seemed indifferent to his proposed land cession, as if they thought that as long as the land was ceded, the Qin State could be pacified. He was so angry that he didn't even think about finding evidence to prove that South Korea did not kill the previous Qin envoy. Instead, he felt complacent because he could just cede the land and the matter would be over.
Cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then have to sleep overnight?
Do the civil and military officials in South Korea think that such endless cession of territory to seek peace is impossible?
Although this is a good thing for Qin, when thinking about Han Fei... Li Si can't help but feel worthless for Han Fei.
It's a pity that Han Fei's talent and knowledge are limited by his status in the weak and dim South Korea.
Suddenly, Han Fei stopped, and Li Si, who was following Han Fei, also stopped.
A burst of fragrance penetrated the tip of Li Si's nose, and he couldn't help but look sideways at where Han Fei stopped.
It was an extremely tall vermilion pavilion, four stories high. Each floor was covered with red lanterns, but because it was still daytime, they were not lit. The purple gauze curtains decorated on the windows and columns flutter in the wind, adding a bit of gorgeous color to the pavilion.
"Purple Lanxuan?"
Li Si read out the words on the door plaque and frowned slightly.
Li Si, who came to Korea for the first time, didn't know where this place was. At this moment, because the Han prince had recently died, the singing and dancing studio was not allowed to open, so the Purple Orchid Pavilion was deserted and did not open its doors to welcome guests.
But relying on his understanding of Han Fei and the composition of the fragrance, Li Si still judged where this place was.
Sweet wine aroma, elegant floral aroma and...the aroma of powder.
"Senior brother, you really haven't changed."
Li Si, who wanted to understand where Zilanxuan was, recalled their past experiences when they were studying under Xunzi...
Although Songhai City, located on the coast of the East China Sea, is a small city in Qi State, since it is a city in Qi State, there is definitely no shortage of various entertainment venues in it.
In his spare time, Han Fei always took him to horse racing, cockfighting, gambling, listening to music, and of course brothels.
As the first country to establish an officially run brothel, Qi's extravagant style is prevalent. Coupled with Qi's national policy of "serving Qin with sincerity and trusting the princes", there has been no war for many years. Almost all brothels have been opened across the country. As a kind of entertainment place, and as official brothels that can relieve the pressure on the men of Qi State and provide huge tax revenue for Qi State, they are naturally opened in every city of Qi State.
Then, Han Fei took him to a brothel and sold his soul and body.
Xunzi, who learned about the incident afterwards, didn't say anything. He just taught Han Fei a lesson by deceiving his junior brother into going to a brothel to lose consciousness.
Li Si knelt on the ground and looked at Xunzi, who had an erect beard and an angry frown, holding a ruler in his hand. Invisible internal forces condensed on the ruler. He greeted Han Fei's butt fiercely and cursed loudly.
The text that Xunzi taught that day was very short, with a total of two contents, eleven words - "Teaching without distinction" (I am teaching you how to do things, no matter who you are) and "A gentleman will not be powerful if he is not serious" (A gentleman must hit someone hard, otherwise he will not be able to establish prestige!)
Recalling the past experience of living as a pure student in the ivory tower of Little Sage Village, even Li Si, who is now obsessed with fame and fortune, couldn't help but have a flash of reminiscence in his eyes.
Han Fei noticed the look of reminiscence in Li Si's eyes and unconsciously recalled the past.
However, he still could not forget the incident when Xunzi beat him with a ruler so that he could only sleep on his stomach for half a month.
Recalling that when he became a disciple of Xunzi, he and Li Si asked Xunzi if he needed to learn martial arts. Xunzi just said lightly that Confucianism was divided into two schools: civil and military. He belonged to the literary school, not the martial school.
Later, after being severely beaten, he learned from his senior brother Fu Nian that although Xunzi belonged to the Literary School, he was a Confucian master and had the cultivation of a master. Otherwise, he would not have been able to come back safely after losing the battle over sex. Xiaoshengxian Village was built in Songhai City.
但尽管是挨揍，但那种因为爱之切而责之深的感觉，他自从离开小圣贤庄以后便再也没有体会过了。
Therefore, although the life of studying in Xiaoshengxian Village is mostly ordinary, it is still enjoyable and unforgettable to this day.
As if he remembered something, Han Fei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, gently pushed open the vermilion door, and tiptoed, as if he was afraid of being discovered by the people inside, he opened a door just big enough for one person to pass through. The gap went in.
Li Si was a little stunned, not knowing what Han Fei wanted to do. As if he didn't see Li Si following him, Han Fei stuck his head out the door, smiled and waved to Li Si to come in, just like when he took Li Si and sneaked into the kitchen to find food in the middle of the night at Little Sage's Manor.
Li Si couldn't help but shook his head. Could it be that he, the envoy of the Qin Dynasty, wanted to play around with Han Fei and sneak into the song and dance studio like a thief?
Just when Li Si hesitated, a long sword with shark-like saber teeth on one side and a sharp blade on the other side was pressed against Han Fei's neck.
"It seems... after not seeing each other for a few days, your head seems a little itchy?"
A cold voice came from inside the door, and Wei Zhuang looked at Han Fei sternly.
As the leader of Quicksand, half of the owner of Zilanxuan, he sneaked into Zilanxuan like a thief, and in front of the Qin envoy... Wei Zhuang really wanted to ask Han Fei what he thought.
Speaking of Qin envoys...
Wei Zhuang put the shark tooth back into the scabbard and looked at Han Fei's junior brother.
Although the two people in the court seemed to have no nostalgia for the tit-for-tat confrontation, Wei Zhuang, a master swordsman, still caught the moment when he put the shark teeth on Han Fei's neck, and the moment of worry flashed in Li Si's eyes.
I always feel that Li Si has a similar aura about him.
But he didn't understand why he could feel the same kind of aura from a weak person. This shouldn't be the case.
Until, he felt a familiar breath.
The internal energy in the body developed through the practice of Guigu Lianheng Neigong's mental method began to boil as he felt the breath, like hot water about to boil.
"It's great, he's finally here!"
A touch of excitement and joy appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Wei Zhuang's figure instantly disappeared at the gate of Zilanxuan.
