The night sky was filled with stars.
The moonlight was cold and thin like smoke. The moonlight shone on the ground and raised a faint mist. The temperature gradually turned cold.
In the Prime Minister's study.
Qin Mu supported his chin with one hand and yawned." It's your turn to place your pieces... You've been thinking for an hour, and it's already late. I'm already a little tired.”
Looking around, he saw Zhang Lianghe sitting at the side with his eyes wide open. His eyes were staring at the chessboard in front of him in a daze. His expression suddenly became happy, and in the blink of an eye, he fell into deep thought. He held the white chess piece in his hand, not knowing what to do.
From noon until now, he couldn't remember how many games he had played…The only thing he knew was that every game had ended in a crushing defeat.
What shocked them was that during this period of time, not only did he play chess, but he also discussed strategies and tactics, as well as the methods of militarists and so on. However, no matter what aspect was mentioned, Qin Mu could answer it fluently and even analyze it thoroughly.
For such a person, it was nothing more than calling him 'Scholar Peerless.'
It was also at that moment that Zhang Kai Di had already made up his mind to enter the palace the next day to meet the saint and try his best to facilitate this marriage. He would think of all ways to make Qin Mu stay in Han Country.
Only in this way could the Han Country rise and compete with the Qin Country!
If other people knew that Zhang Kedi had given Qin Mu such a high evaluation, they would definitely be shocked.
Pa da…
At this moment, a crisp sound of a stone being placed rang out in the room.
However, this white piece did not land on the chessboard. Instead, Zhang Liang released his hand that was holding the piece. He looked dejected." I lost. Teacher's talent is worthy of my admiration."”
His attitude was sincere, his tone respectful, and his emotions sincere.
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and performed a respectful salute to Qin Mu.
It was obvious that he truly admired Qin Mu.
In response, Qin Mu slowly stood up and stretched his back. He chuckled." I've benefited a lot from debating with you today, but... it's getting late, so I should be leaving.”
"Sir, why don't you rest in the Prime Minister's Mansion and have the servants clean up your room later?”Minister Zhang said anxiously.
"That's right, there's plenty of space in the Prime Minister's estate.”Zhang Liang, who was beside him, echoed.
Qin Mu hurriedly waved his hand." There's no need to go through so much trouble. I have my own place to go.”
"But…"
Before they could finish, Qin Mu made a gesture and left in a hurry.
He knew that…if he really stayed in the Prime Minister's Estate, he would definitely not be able to sleep well at night. The grandfather and grandson of Minister Zhang would definitely drag him into the middle of the night to discuss academic matters.
Facing such a passionate 'grandfather and grandson', it was better to leave first.
Towards this, Dugu Qiubai followed closely.
After Qin Mu left completely, Zhang Xiangdi coughed lightly, and his expression regained its dignity. He asked in a low voice," What do you think of Qin Mu?”
"Great talent, unparalleled in the country." Zhang Liang said without hesitation.
"How does it compare to you?"
"I'm not as good as him.”
When he said this, Zhang Liang suddenly paused and looked in the direction where Qin Mu had disappeared." It could even be said that his guard is also full of mystery. However, I can be sure that... the guard is a powerful swordsman.”
He had learned sword skills since he was young and was extremely sensitive to danger. Even though Qin Mu's guard didn't have a sword on him, the aura he exuded was comparable to the sword intent of a connate expert.
When Zhang Xiangdi heard this, his pitch-black pupils suddenly contracted. He confirmed again," Really?”
"Really!" Zhang Liang nodded and replied.
"Scholar Peerless? Matched with a powerful swordsman? These two conditions are enough to make this old man give up his old face and become a matchmaker again.”Zhang Xiang laughed heartily.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to the desk to let Zhang Liang grind it. He wrote on the scroll with great speed, and bursts of laughter could be heard occasionally.
………………………………
On the streets of Xinzheng, there was no sound except for a few households with oil lanterns.
In this era of war, supplies were scarce. Commoners usually could not afford fuel or entertainment. Especially after a day of hard work, they were already exhausted. Every time night fell, they would hurriedly fall asleep.
Of course, there was still a brightly lit place in the city. It was the largest dance studio in Xinzheng, the Purple Orchid Pavilion.
"Young Master, are we going to rest here?”At this moment, Dugu Qiubai asked in confusion.
Qin Mu raised his head to look at the thick and thin words on the plaque-Zi Lan Xuan. He smiled." Of course, this is a good place.”
"But…"
Before Dugu Qiubai could finish speaking, Qin Mu turned his head and smiled." You're saying…this is an indecent place?”
Towards this, Dugu Qiubai nodded his head, indicating that this was the case.
When Qin Mu saw this, he smiled." Then what if I say... that there is a swordsman in this Purple Orchid Loft? Then do you still think it's an indecent place?"
"Is it strong?" Dugu Qiubai asked coldly.
"Won't you know if you try?" Qin Mu smiled mysteriously.
He was referring to Wei Zhuang, the successor of the Phantom Valley's Successive Horizontal Sword Technique. His sword technique was as wild as the wind, as fierce as waves, with an imposing manner that shook the sky and a murderous aura. Presumably, it would fit Dugu Qiubai's appetite.
As soon as he said this, Dugu Qiubai's eyes were filled with sword intent. He shook his head and said expressionlessly," A place with swordsmen is no longer an indecent place.”
It seemed that Sword Demon couldn't escape the 'True Fragrance' theorem.
When Qin Mu heard that, he laughed heartily." Since that's the case, let's go in.”
He remembered that…in the Violet Orchid Pavilion, besides Swordsman Wei Zhuang, there was also the beautiful Violet Maiden.
The Violet Maiden was the owner of the Violet Orchid Pavilion. She was a mysterious woman with excellent lightness skills. She was proficient in fragrance, disguise, and even the art of poison.
What was even more valuable was that she had secretly nurtured a group of female assassins with unique skills and collected information about the Han Country and even the other six countries with the excuse of Purple Orchid Pavilion.
One could see how strong his ability was!
Since he had come to Han Country, he naturally had to meet this legendary person.
Of course…the most important thing was that he wanted to ask the other party about the Seven Kingdoms so that he could have a more detailed understanding of this world.
However, as soon as he entered the room, he was immediately surrounded by a group of beautiful women who were dressed up in gorgeous clothes. They all came forward.
"Young Master, you don't look familiar. It must be your first time here…I wonder if you want to get drunk tonight? Or are you looking for someone?"
"That's right. If you're looking for someone, you can come to me…I'll make you satisfied.”
"Don't snatch…don't snatch. Young Master is dressed luxuriously and is handsome. How can this one compare? He definitely wants to book us sisters.”
