On a small path under the shade of trees, more than ten guards riding tall horses were guarding a luxurious but low-key carriage in the center, as well as protecting the few people accompanying the carriage.
"Senior Brother Fu Nian, Senior Brother Han Fei, let's stop here. We'll leave Sang Hai soon.”
Ying Wei stopped in his tracks. At the same time, the guards on horseback and the coachmen pulled on the ropes.
Fu Nian looked up at the sun in the sky and nodded.""…In that case, Senior Brother will send you here. Junior Brother wants to return to the State of Qin. The road is dangerous, so please be careful.”
During the four years in the Small Sage Manor, Ying Wei couldn't be said to have a close relationship with this Sect Leader Senior Brother, but they were still gentlemen's friends.
In addition to Ying Wei's status as Lord Chang 'an, the scholarly faction also paid attention to etiquette. Whether Fu Nian was the leader of the scholarly faction or his senior brother, he should send him off.
"Shidi, don't worry. Teacher's body is strong, but he's still old. I'm not in the Small Sage Manor, Shixiong, please take care of Teacher.”
As a modern person, Ying Wei was deeply influenced by Confucianism and had always respected his teachers.
Fu Nian laughed and said,"…Of course. Junior Brother, don't worry. But you know Martial Uncle's personality. I can only do my best."”
At the end of his speech, Fu Nian smiled bitterly. Xun Zi's temper was actually not very good. It could even be said to be strange. The younger generation had a deep feeling about it.
It was only when he faced Han Fei and Ying Wei that Xun Zi smiled, especially when he took care of Ying Wei.
Towards Xun Zi, Ying Wei was truly grateful and admired him.
Han Fei and Li Si had learned Legalism, but Xunzi didn't care at all. Ying Wei had learned Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism, but Xunzi didn't care.
Xun Zi was even willing to teach Ying Wei the secrets of Confucianism and teach him martial arts. Even though Ying Wei had managed to cultivate the Confucian martial arts to the level of Taoism, Xun Zi did not say anything.
This was really a teacher who imparted knowledge and Dao.
"I don't know when we'll meet again. If you have time in the future, come back to the Little Saint Manor.”
Fu Nian said some polite words that even he himself did not believe.
As the Lord of Chang 'an, Ying Wei would definitely be involved in the whirlpool of power when he returned to Qin. He would either be in power or die.
No matter what the outcome was, the Little Sage Manor was still within the borders of the Qi Kingdom, far away from the Qin Kingdom. In this era where there were no flying cars, with Ying Wei's identity, he might never be seen again.
Unless the Qin State unified the six states and made all six states become 'Qin'.
"If there's a chance, I'll definitely come back to visit you.”
Ying Wei cupped his hands, but his heart was filled with complicated emotions.
If the Qin State really unified the six states, when he returned, it was uncertain whether he would be friends or enemies with the Confucians.
In this era, all sects and schools were cleaning up their own treasures, even the Confucian school, which taught everyone regardless of class.
When the world was unified, the Hundred Schools would definitely be brought under the ruling system of the empire. However, the harsh laws of the Qin country did not match the Confucian ideals. At that time, there would probably be another dispute.
Of course, this was all in the future, so there was no need to worry about it now.
After Ying Wei finished speaking with Fu Nian, he looked at the young man in cotton clothes beside Fu Nian and asked,""…Li Si, have you made a decision?”
When Li Si heard Ying Wei's question, he lowered his head in shame and said,""…Li Si is slow-witted and can't make up his mind.”
Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Wei was not disappointed and said,""…You are not stupid, but you have too many concerns.”
"I can understand that. After all, it might involve your life.”
"But Li Si, you have to remember that if you don't make a decision, you'll be in trouble. You have to understand what it means to send charcoal in the snow and what it means to add flowers to the brocade.”
Although these two idioms did not exist in this era, the meaning was easy to understand. With Li Si's intelligence, he immediately knew what Ying Wei wanted to say.
"Li Si, please!"
Li Si bowed deeply.
The reason why Ying Wei had spent so much effort talking to Li Si was because he was truly capable.
He became Xun Zi's disciple as a minor official of the Chu Country, and in the future, he would even become the Prime Minister of the Qin Country. His talent was evident.
Especially since Li Si was actually a cowardly person who was indecisive and easy to control. To Ying Wei who was currently lacking manpower, Li Si was definitely a useful talent.
"Senior brother Fu Nian, I have something to say to junior brother. Can you give us some time?”
At this time, Han Fei, who had been silent, suddenly said.
Fu Nian knew that Han Fei had the best relationship with Ying Wei in the Little Sage Manor, or rather, they had the same bad taste. Now that Ying Wei was going back to China, the two brothers naturally had a lot to talk about.
He nodded happily and left with Li Si, leaving the place for the two of them.
Han Fei tugged at Ying Wei's clothes and signaled him to change places.
Ying Wei and Han Fei walked to the shade of a tree. The guards dared not neglect their duties and found a place where they could not hear their conversation and protect Ying Wei.
"Senior Brother, what are you doing so mysteriously?”
Ying Wei looked at Han Fei sneakily in amusement.
Han Fei was not as talkative as usual. He asked solemnly,""…Junior Brother, you told me two days ago that there are many risks in returning to the State of Qin. Is this true?”
Ying didn't see him being serious, so he restrained his expression and said in a low voice,""…That's true. I'm afraid that Lü Xiangbang wants my life and will try to kill me on the way.”
They were just brothers now, so Ying Wei didn't mind telling Han Fei about his current situation.
At the same time, Ying Wei held his breath and concentrated. He mobilized his internal strength to disturb the surrounding air, in case the Startling Salamander in the chariot heard his words.
Sound needed a medium to transmit, and no one knew about this scientific theory. Therefore, no matter how good one's martial arts were, they would not be able to eavesdrop on Ying Wei's move.
However, this kind of control over internal strength was not something that ordinary people could do. Ying Wei realized that he did not know if it was because he had transmigrated.
Although his cultivation of essence and qi was fast, he was at most talented. However, his cultivation of 'spirit' was different from ordinary people.
Not only did this make him extremely intelligent, but he could also learn everything in a short time. He even faintly showed some other divine abilities. Of course, these were not shown yet.
Han Fei touched the wooden box in his arms. After hesitating for a moment, he handed it to Ying Wei resolutely.
Ying Wei was puzzled. Seeing Han Fei nod at him, Ying Wei carefully opened the wooden box and saw a broken sword inside.
"This is?"
Seeing the broken sword, Ying Wei looked at Han Fei.
"I accidentally obtained this sword in the past. This is a baleful sword, and there is a terrifying undead residing within it. At a critical moment, I can summon it to fight the enemy.”
"Undead are the most difficult to deal with if they don't die. Junior apprentice-brother, with this sword, if you reach a critical moment, you might be able to save your life.”
"However, this sword has already recognized me as its master. Every time I use it, it will consume my life. Junior apprentice-brother, don't use it recklessly.”
At the end, Han Fei cupped his hands and smiled bitterly.
Ying Wei took a deep look at Han Fei and said,""…I once read about this sword in the ancient books in the library, but I didn't expect it to really exist. Does this sword have a name?”
Han Fei shook his head." I don't know the name of this sword. Now I call it 'Inverted Scale'.”
The word "reverse scale" came from Han Fei's work. The original meaning was that dragons were insects and could be ridden. However, there were reverse scales under their throats. If a person had a baby, he would definitely kill them.
In fact, the translation was that dragons had reverse scales, and they would be furious if they touched them.
"Reverse scale? It's a good name, so I won't reject it. I'll temporarily accept this sword.”
"When I get through this crisis, I will definitely go to Korea and return this sword to its rightful owner!”
"Senior Brother, don't forget what you promised me.”
Ying Wei thanked him solemnly. At the same time, he made a decision in his heart.
Since you've given me the sword, I'll definitely return the favor in the future.
Every time this sword was used, it would cause great harm to Han Fei's body, but he still gave this sword to him for the time being, which showed Han Fei's trust in him.
Han Fei smiled ambiguously and touched Ying Wei with his shoulder.""…I understand. I'm just taking you to the Purple Orchid Pavilion to drink and see the ladies.”
"After I return to Xinzheng, I'll go to the Purple Orchid Pavilion to scout the way and see if it's really as good as the rumors say.”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
After bidding farewell to Han Fei, Fu Nian, and the others, Ying Wei boarded the carriage with the wooden box in his hand.
Ying Wei himself was afraid of encountering any unexpected incidents. After all, he wasn't a god who could calculate everything.
But now that he had the Inversed-Scale Sword, even if something unexpected happened, Ying Wei felt that he could handle it.
Han Fei's move was really timely.
