The next day, the Qin country had morning court.
Dressed in a black dragon robe, Ying Zheng was sitting on the throne, wearing a beaded crown on his head. His face was young, but he was full of the aura of the Eight Desolates. He was like a newborn dragon, showing his domineering aura.
Separated by a pool of clear water, all the officials of the Qin State stood below, divided into civil and military officials. Wang Jian and Lord Chang Ping stood on both sides, Ge Nie hid in the corner of the hall, Li Si, as the Chief of the Court, stood on the side of the civil officials, and a chamberlain stood under the high platform near Ying Zheng, quietly waiting for the king's order.
"Recently, I came across a strange person and have invited him to be the Left Protector of our empire. Today, I will let you all meet him.”Ying Zheng's gaze swept across the hundred officials below through the beaded crown, and his majestic voice reverberated in the hall. Right now, he had the power in his hands, and was not restrained by anyone, nor did he have to worry about anyone's thoughts.
"Men, Xuan." As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the chamberlain at the side called out,""The king has ordered for the Left Protector to enter the palace.”
The doors of the hall opened. Under the gaze of the officials, Su Ying, who was dressed in white and had his jet-black hair tied behind his head with a green belt, walked in slowly. His steps were neither fast nor slow, his breathing neither fast nor slow, his eyes deep and clear, and his entire body exuded a calm and simple aura, yet he appeared otherworldly.
All the officials secretly praised Su Ying in their hearts when they saw him.
"It's just a facade." Some of the officials frowned at the mask on Su Ying's face, and Lord Chang Ping was one of them.
When Su Ying walked to a pool of clear water, he cupped his hands and bowed to Ying Zheng, who was standing above him,""Greetings, Great King."
"Yes, no need for formalities." Ying Zheng nodded, and Su Ying stood up, standing at the side to face the civil and military officials.
"This is the Left Protector of our State of Qin.”Ying Zheng looked down at the officials and said slowly.
"This one is Su Ying, Su Zige. Greetings, fellow colleagues.”Su Ying's gaze swept across the faces of the civil and military officials in the hall and paused on the faces of Lord Chang Ping, Wang Jian, and the others.
Lord Chang Ping took a step forward, looked straight at Su Ying and asked,"May I ask where your teacher came from?"
"Dao Sect, Heavenly Sect." Su Ying replied.
Dao Sect and Heavenly Sect…
All the officials were shocked.
"Then, are you representing the position of the Dao Sect and the Heavenly Sect in going to Qin?”Lord Chang Ping asked after a moment of surprise.
Su Ying shook his head." The sect is detached from the secular world. Only Su Ying is a layman. Su Ying is only representing himself in this trip to Qin. The honor and disgrace he takes have nothing to do with the sect. To be honest, the elders of my Heaven Sect are good at divination. They have already predicted that chaotic times will arrive and have decided to seal the mountain for ten years after autumn.”
Lord Chang Ping nodded and retreated.
"I see that your appearance is extraordinary, and you seem to have an immortal aura around you. May I ask who your esteemed teacher is?”Wang Jian inquired.
"I'm not talented. My master is Beiming Zi of the Daoist Heavenly Sect.”Su Ying looked at Wang Jian and softly laughed.
"It's actually Grandmaster Beiming Zi…"
"Didn't Master Beiming Zi of the Heaven Sect not have a disciple for fifty years?”……
The civil and military officials were shocked.
Wang Jian's face also flashed with shock." I didn't expect you to be Master Beiming Zi's personal disciple. No wonder your charm is so extraordinary."”
"General Wang Jian is too kind."
"Alright, now that you know each other, he will be Great Qin's Left Guardian Mage.”Ying Zheng said. "Do you have any different opinions?"
The civil and military officials looked at each other and then said in unison,"We have no objections."
Since then, Su Ying had settled down in Xianyang, and the news of a new country protector in the royal court had spread throughout Xianyang. Su Ying's identity as the successor of the Daoist Sect was even more talked about, and it had also spread to the other six countries in the Jianghu of the Qin State.
Along with his reputation, the news that the Dao Sect and the Heavenly Sect had sealed the mountain for ten years spread.
Once these two pieces of news came out, many nosy people started speculating, saying that Su Ying had a bad character, that he loved power and glory, that he gave up his sect in order to cling to the Qin country, that the Heavenly Sect was disappointed in him, so they wanted to sever ties with him, and so on and so forth...
In any case, there were very few people who said good things about Su Ying.
……
Han Country, Purple Orchid Pavilion.
In a private room, Wei Zhuang, Nongyu, and Zinu were sitting at a table with fine wine and tea on it.
"He has news." Three years had passed, and his aura had become more stable and sharp. Wei Zhuang, whose white hair was scattered, raised his wine glass and said.
Hearing this, Violet Maiden and Nongyu's bodies stiffened and they turned to look at him.
"He's currently in the State of Qin. Rumor has it that the King of Qin appreciated him and he became the Left Protector of the State of Qin.”Wei Zhuang said coldly, his eyes sharp and deep.
"Qin country…why would he go to Qin country?”Nongyu was surprised. Three years had passed, and she had become more and more beautiful. Her skin was like jade, her hair was like silk, her figure was graceful, and her temperament was gentle and lively.
"No one can guess what he is thinking.”Violet Maiden shook her head and said faintly. Three years had passed, but Violet Maiden still looked young and beautiful. Her figure was enchanting and charming, and her every move was flirtatious.
"The Qin country has mobilized a large number of troops, and its intention to go east is obvious. The first country to suffer from the other six countries is the Han country.”Wei Zhuang raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.
"Right now, there is no chance for the Han Country to fight against the Qin Country. The Han King and the court are also a group of weak and incompetent people. The other five countries will not offend the Qin Country for such a Han Country. The destruction of the Han Country is already certain." Violet Maiden sighed and turned to look out the window."If the Ninth Young Master was still here, would the current situation be a little different?”
Wei Zhuang's eyes flashed with anger. He smashed the wine glass on the table, then stood up and left without saying a word.
After the door closed, Nongyu looked at Violet Girl and asked,""If Hong Lian comes over later, should we tell her about Su Ying? Recently, she has been hugging that sword alone in a daze. I can see that she misses him very much…"
"Let alone Red Lotus, I think you are the same.”Violet Maiden teased Nongyu.
"I, I didn't." Nongyu lowered her head and whispered with a red face.
Violet Maiden covered her mouth and chuckled. Then, she stood up and looked out the window. Then, she turned her head to look at Nongyu, who was lying beside the table." Don't tell Red Lotus about Su Ying. The Ninth Young Master died in the State of Qin. Now, the State of Han might be destroyed in the hands of the State of Qin. If we tell her about this, it will be too much of a blow. I'm afraid she won't be able to take it…"
Nongyu was silent for a moment, then nodded at Violet Maiden.
"I understand."
