Ying Xi was sitting at the table. There weren't many dishes on the table, only four. However, it was definitely enough for the mother and son. The simple dishes weren't very complicated, but it was clear that the chef had put in a lot of effort. Ying Xi ate happily because his mother, Yun Ji, had personally cooked them.
The memories of his previous life had made him lost for a while, but in the past ten years, he had completely integrated into this world. This was a Qin Dynasty that was completely different from history. It was an era filled with danger, but the general direction was very consistent. It was a very interesting era. In his previous life, he had defeated countless opponents, but he had lost to fate. Although he did not hate it, that kind of weakness was something that a strong person like him could not endure. Therefore, in the past ten years, He had only done two things. One was to become stronger, and the other was to understand the difference in this world.
This was a chaotic era, and it was an era filled with stars. The Hundred Schools of Thought could not be underestimated, and the Empire was also filled with chaos. The more one understood the world, the more powerful it was. Even though Great Qin had unified the world, the anti-Qin factions were surging. Even though the seven Kingdoms had been destroyed, the power of the seven Kingdoms had not disappeared. Instead, they had gone from light to darkness, and the Qin Dynasty had made a mistake in history. This country was no longer a small Qin Country. Instead, it became the Qin Dynasty. A rigorous and swift organization became bloated and huge. Sometimes, becoming bigger did not mean becoming stronger. Although Qin Shihuang was an emperor through the ages, his thoughts were also limited to this era and could not extricate himself.
He annexed seven countries and thought that the strength of the Qin country had increased by seven times. However, reality was not so simple. Although some things were delicious, there was poison hidden in them. Swallowing them into the stomach would also hide this kind of danger. This ever-changing era was an era where heroes came forth in large numbers. However, sometimes, what the people hoped for was not the rescue of heroes, but peace in the world.
" Xi 'er, eat more. These are all your favorites." Yun Ji's gentle words interrupted his thoughts and she smiled." Consort Mother, eat more. The weather is getting colder recently. You must take care of your health." Although he occasionally complained about the way people spoke in this era, habits were a great power, and he was the same.
Yun Ji's palace was very simple, but it matched the temperament of its owner. Ying Xi liked it very much. After dinner, Yun Ji began to sew a robe for Ying Xi. It was an extremely luxurious robe. Ying Xi knew why, but he didn't ask. There weren't many things in this room, but the most unique thing was that it was filled with scrolls. Other than the most obvious symbols and bamboo slips of this era, there were also many silk scrolls that Ying Xi had searched everywhere over the years. He had read all kinds of classics from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. Some of them had been studied in his previous life, but some had been lost in his previous life. He had never seen them before. Moreover, this was an era of great change, and the characters were very messy. Ying Xi had once learned Da Zhuan and Xiao Zhuan, but he had only gradually mastered the characters of the other six countries after several years of learning. Although Qin Shihuang wanted to use the same language, this kind of cultural destruction could not be done overnight. It required the efforts of a generation. Forgetfulness was a huge power. Countless people who had dominated the world had gradually disappeared in the dust of history. Other than those who were brilliant, even time could not destroy them, such as Qin Shihuang.
Combing oneself was a wonderful habit. The sound of the bell chime outside the palace door rang. Unknowingly, it was already midnight. Ying Xi stood up gently.
It was time to return to his room, or else his mother would speak. The attendants around him all knew the young master's habits. Seeing him get up, they hurriedly lit the lamp and walked in front of him. Not long after, they arrived at his bedroom.
"I wonder who wants to play a joke on this kid?”，Ying Xi suddenly felt an icy cold aura. His mind was spinning very quickly. He had been very relaxed just now and hadn't been on guard at all. This person's aura was so obscure. If he wanted to ambush him, it would be very difficult for him to resist. This person most likely didn't have any malicious intentions.
However, even though he had made up his mind, he still quickly withdrew the small wooden sword from his waist. It was a short sword made of hard wood. A youth holding a wooden sword looked somewhat childish as a beginner. However, Ying Xi was not like that at this moment. In an instant, he had become incomparably fierce. If the person in the dim hall was not a child, he would definitely be regarded as a powerful swordsman.
The man in the darkness snorted." Not bad." A stream of energy instantly appeared in front of him. The small wooden sword turned in an elegant arc and blocked the energy. His sword had never been hit like this before. He pushed his internal energy to the limit, but the energy still poured out like a storm, as if there was no end to it. Ying Xi couldn't help but look solemn.
His figure paused and turned into a shadow. His figure was already considered tall and straight among the youths, but compared to the shadow in the darkness, he was like a kitten flying under the palace wall. However, he did not know when, but before he landed, the surrounding Qi force was like a living thing, up and down, left and right. His heart trembled. The Sword Qi attached to the wooden sword, and his sword technique was sharp and swift. In a moment, he had already swung out dozens of swords, but the opponent's Qi force was like a huge millstone. His sword was as fast as a snake, but it seemed to be of no use. The sound of the air shattering could not be heard, and the opponent's Qi force was like a hurricane. Ying Xi did not continue to defend with all his strength. Instead, he went forward to meet it. The wooden sword in his hand seemed to have eyes. It suddenly drew an arc, and the Sword Qi suddenly turned. The mysterious person did not expect that the fierce and fierce Phantom Valley Sword Art would actually have such a miraculous change in his hand. At this moment, he was already in midair. Borrowing the strength of the other party's Qi, his figure flew backward like a wild goose, pulling apart the distance between the two parties and landing on the palace wall.
The mysterious man looked at the young man in front of him and admired him more and more. He did not panic when facing the sudden appearance of the enemy. His judgment and response were very appropriate. He appeared here silently. Although he attacked with all his strength, he did not panic. When he saw that he could not resist him, he did not call for help. Instead, he focused on himself. The battle between experts only lasted for a moment. He was a prince born in the royal family, not a person in the Jianghu. However, his reaction was not wrong at all. From the way he attacked just now, he had been deliberately pulling apart the distance between the two sides, especially the last sword technique. It was bold and powerful, and he used his own internal energy to pull apart the distance. Now that he was standing at the center of the charge, he would definitely turn around and call for help. After all, this was the palace, and this was the most correct way.
"Who exactly is Senior?" Although they had only exchanged blows for a short while, his right hand was already trembling. Judging from the other party's casual tone, it seemed that he did not care about the Qin Palace, which was regarded as a dragon's den and a tiger's den. The other party's power was probably far beyond his imagination. However, Ge Nia was already one of the few masters in the world. Who was this person to be so terrifying?
"Kid, your swordsmanship is not bad. I thought you were going to use Ge Nia's Hundred-step Flying Sword for the last move, but I didn't expect that your martial arts had traces of Daoism. Even I expected it, and you actually managed to walk out of front of me," Ying Xi said solemnly."Who exactly is Senior?" As he spoke, he raised a small metal bucket in his hand.
"This is a signal firework. Once I pull open the iron ring, all the experts and guards in the palace will come here. Even if Senior's martial arts are extraordinary, you won't be able to leave here alive. Senior might be able to kill me, or you might be able to charge out, but I think that you won't end up well in the face of the Empire's wrath," the mysterious man said with a smile."Oh, are you threatening me?" "Junior doesn't dare?" Ying Xi asked. "There are not many masters like you in Jianghu. It's not worth it to die together with a kid like me. I think the best way is to retreat 50 steps away from you. I'll walk down the wall and see you off. My mother's bedroom is right behind me. I won't act rashly. You can also retreat safely. If it's not convenient for you, there are many fine wines and delicacies in my palace. After enjoying them, you can rest in my bedroom." This junior will guard senior outside the hall. This place is secluded, and this junior has some treasures bestowed by His Majesty in the palace. Senior can also take them away. I think this is the best way."
" Hahaha." The mysterious man seemed to have heard something interesting." You've learned how to threaten and bribe at such a young age. However, I'm here to find you."
As he spoke, the mysterious man pulled down his black cloak, revealing an old face. However, his eyes were frighteningly bright, like a tiger or wolf in the darkness." You don't have to be so wary of me. Do you know my identity?"
Ying Xi looked at the old man and instantly had dozens of guesses in his mind, but he denied them all."Please tell me, senior." The old man said,"I'm afraid I'll have to wait for you.""This old man is Lord Wu An of the Great Qin, Bai Qi!”
