Qin Shi: Starting from saving Yan Lingji

Chapter 165 You came at the right time

Without Zheng Ze stirring up trouble in the city, Xinzheng seems to have reconnected to its original track, and the situation is gradually becoming clearer.

People outside South Korea were not very interested in the power game here. People such as Fu Nian and others left a letter to Zheng Ze, then said goodbye to Xiang Guo and others and left. He really wanted to study abroad and there was no need to waste time here.

After selectively shielding Zheng Ze as a destabilizing factor, Ye Mu turned his attention again to Han Fei and others who were obviously unwilling to get closer to him, and engaged in overt and covert fights around the prince.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Yan Lingji for eloping with a man without saying a word, Tianze seemed to be inspired by Zheng Ze. Knowing that many envoys from many countries had recently visited South Korea, he did not think it was a big deal and singled out these people.

The first one is the Qin State, which is close and well-informed. After killing the envoys in South Korea, they delivered them to the honor guard troops who greeted them. Then they took off their clothes and left, hiding their merits and fame.

After hearing the news, Han Wangan almost rolled off his chair and had a severe headache. trouble! Big trouble!

Ji Wuye and Han Fei also felt violated. Tianze's move of lifting the chessboard was extremely unfriendly to chess players like them!
Therefore, everyone rarely agreed on this matter, sending a large number of troops to the border to greet them, and protecting the delicate bodies of the envoys throughout the process.

When meeting these people, Han Wangan handed them the papermaking instructions very simply, and hoped that everyone would help negotiate with the Qin State and speak for himself. It was really not intentional against them, it was just an accident.

They got what they wanted when they met, and for the sake of protecting him, the five envoys expressed their willingness to help him.

After telling them that Zheng Ze was no longer in Xinzheng, Han Wangan sent away the smiling foreign minister with a sad look on his face. There was more room for easing the matter. But he doesn't think that with their platform, he can challenge Qin.

This matter has a great impact, and no matter what, we must give an explanation that satisfies the other party. Without him, it's just because he can't beat him.

As a result, everyone in the court was held accountable, and Han Wangan ordered the ministers to properly resolve the matter.

After suffering such a frustrating loss, not to mention Han Fei, Han Yu and others, even Ji Wuye was a little angry, but now that the prince was still in their hands, he almost delivered it to them himself.

All kinds of thoughts came to mind. Whether to completely eliminate it or choose to continue to use it, and to what extent, these decisions cannot be made immediately. All parties in Xinzheng, which is peaceful on the surface, are secretly testing each other. Under the rules, Confrontation.

Tianze didn't care about the rules anymore. He was so crazy that he even attacked Fu Nian who left. He was a little unwilling to return after the failure. This was far from what he expected. However, the prince in his hands could no longer be saved, and continuing to force him into his hands would only lead to death.

In the game of chasing power, it is always you who sings and I appear. In the end, there are only a few people who can stand firmly on the high ground, and there are bound to be countless dead bones under their feet.

But these had nothing to do with Zheng Ze. He just went through the news that Tang Ba sent regularly so that he was aware of it.

Different from the hiding place when he first came to Xinzheng, this time he seemed to be an ordinary person in this world. After passing the desolation on the way here, he seemed to have entered a new world as he stepped through the city gate.

Along the way, it would not be wrong to say that the roadside was full of human bones that had died of starvation, but occasionally we would see villages that had been plundered by bandits, and then there were the refugees who had lost their homes, more or less gathered in a pile, and basically there was nothing to eat. Just eat whatever you want, sometimes people starve to death.

These people have a worse life than the lowly ones, not because they don’t want to be slaves, but because they have no other way out. In other words, they are the chosen ones. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the lives of such people are no different from those of larvae in the water, crawlers on the ground, and flies in the air. Who cares whether they live or die?
Together with Yan Lingji, there was no intention of rushing back, just as if they were walking back again. The changes at that time were quite amazing.

However, with her return, Yan Lingji's first love girlfriend experience card seems to have expired, and she is no longer tired of him, and has become a troubled temptress again, just like she said, only in front of you.

After all, she is much older than Zheng Ze no matter what. In the eyes of outsiders, she seems to be more willing to play the role of a good sister, who is equally close and unreserved.

"Go back to Zilanxuan?" She turned to Zheng Ze and asked. Her attitude was obvious, everything was centered on him. Although he said that he couldn't recognize his heart, he was still extremely confident in his man's intelligence, which was what she admired most.

Nodding, looking at the bustling streets, Zheng Ze said, "Well, there are some things that need to be dealt with. What about you, Tianze, what are you going to do?"

Yan Lingji glanced at him doubtfully and asked, "Who is Tianze?"

Zheng Ze was amused by her appearance and stopped mentioning it. He held her hand and said, "Whoever he is, I will go shopping in Xinzheng with my sister first. Nothing else is urgent."

Although she understood that Zheng Ze's move was to try to make up for her psychological gap, because she would not be the only one next, she still smiled and nodded, accepting it happily.

"Why, are you thinking of picking out a hairpin from some roadside shop to win your sister's heart?" Her eyes were shining brightly, as if she had seen through everything.

Zheng Ze pursed his lips, a little surprised, "Do you still need to change it?"

Jade hands gently lifted the hair around her ears, revealing her fair and rosy cheeks. She smiled mischievously, "Being too confident is not a good thing!"

A beauty like her is the center of attention wherever she goes, and she can't hide it from anyone who cares.

Soon the news of Zheng Ze's return spread like wildfire, but the adults seemed to choose to ignore this figure who was at the center of the storm a few days ago.

The two of them just walked on the street, except for a few who didn't open their eyes. Under the gaze of Yan Lingji, who covered her mouth and chuckled, and was suppressed by Zheng Ze at will, no one came to trouble them.

"By the way, what are you going to do with the killer you rescued?" Yan Lingji suddenly remembered and asked.

After glancing at the expression on her pretty face without leaving any trace, and finding that there was nothing strange, Zheng Ze said casually, seemingly carelessly: "It has been placed elsewhere. Her appearance is very strange, as if she was sent there intentionally by someone else." My hands are average.”

Seeing that he was pretending to be serious, Yan Lingji wanted to laugh but couldn't. According to the rules of the old people in the court, with her status, even being his concubine was considered an honor. She had no extravagant expectations and didn't care about those things. . But Zheng Ze's attitude was very strange. He seemed to care less about those things than himself. It was strange that such a person would be cautious about such things.

I don't know what he was thinking, but he just liked this feeling, so it was all due to his unique character.

After thinking for a while, she suggested: "It seems that the woman attaches great importance to her daughter. If you want to get her, you can actually start with her daughter, whether it is through the child's subtle influence, or if you can't wait, you can directly threaten her. , it’s actually not difficult to get.”

Zheng Ze took a breath, tilted his head back slightly, and carefully looked up and down at her charming face, "Are you okay?"

Seeing this, Yan Lingji sneered and cursed dissatisfiedly: "You have a lustful heart but no lustful courage!"

Zheng Ze stroked his forehead gently and said helplessly: "My sister, you are the one who says you want it but can't get it. You are the one who says you are lustful but not bold. What do you want?"

She glanced at him angrily and said lightly, "You're worthless!"

After saying that, he took him to the jewelry shop next to him, picked up a hairpin and inserted it into his head as if no one else was watching. He turned to Zheng Ze and asked, "Does it look good?"

In order to show more sincerity, Zheng Ze looked at it carefully and nodded, "It looks good."

But it didn't end there. Yan Lingji tried on all the jewelry in the shop, except earrings, and asked him every time if they looked good.

Zheng Ze's answer was a little numb. In fact, when these things were worn on her, there was no difference in whether they looked good or not, because she was already good-looking enough.

After putting down the last ornament, Yan Lingji said, "Then do you think it will look better if you put them all on your head?"

Imagine Yan Lingji's head is covered with hairpins, tsk, it's a bit unbearable to look at.

Before Zheng Ze could answer, Yan Lingji continued: "Sister, I'm just reminding you, don't just think about holding a handful of beauties in your hand when you see a room full of beauties. It's just a joke. If you really want it, then just get one. Try it, just like this hairpin, think clearly why you like it. If you think it's pretty, you might want to keep it. If you're interested, you'll favor it. If you just think it's good at martial arts, then grab her handle. Didn't they just let themselves go? From my sister's point of view, it was an honor for them to be favored by you. They were not like that woman in Zilanxuan who was so stupid and nice to others that she might be laughing at you in her heart. "She just didn't understand. That being said, you're just looking for someone else's body, don't give any real feelings. If you have to be a love saint, don't let Sima Zhao's heart be known to everyone from the very beginning. She is not your woman yet, she is just like a firefighter who goes wherever there is danger, but in the end she is still nowhere to be found. There is no sense of propriety in showing kindness, and everyone will be embarrassed in the end.

As expected of a woman who dared to kill people and set fire in the palace. Such an idea without the restraints of etiquette, law and morality unexpectedly fits the thinking of later generations like Zheng Ze. Although the method is despicable, it is useful!
But he has figured this out in the past few days, and now he just understands more deeply that she really doesn't care about this kind of thing.

He couldn't help but said: "Let's put aside the matter of Jingyu for now, why do you feel that you have a problem with Miss Zi Nu?"

Hearing this, Yan Lingji snorted softly, "I just can't understand how dignified she is when she is begging for help. She is not hypocritical!"

Zheng Ze laughed, but he would not argue with Yan Lingji about how good another woman is. She speaks from her own standpoint, but you jump out and accuse her of being wrong. How stupid!

After complaining, Yan Lingji thought of something and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "But my sister is looking forward to it. What will it be like to make her cry and beg for mercy with your bad skills?"

"You're thinking too far. Why don't you think about what you're going to do tonight so that you don't beg me for mercy." Zheng Ze shook his head, interrupting her fantasy.

Hearing this, the expression on Yan Lingji's pretty face changed. At this time, Zheng Ze had already walked away with a smile. She chased after him, "Don't rely too much on that skill. You are the foundation. If you rely on it blindly, you may suffer You're covered in cold poison, and I won't be able to save you then, sister."

Hearing the concern in her words, Zheng Ze naturally understood the danger and nodded, "I am sensible."

"So for the sake of your health, don't use internal energy tonight." Yan Lingji suggested thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Zheng Ze was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. If Yan State hadn't presented the map yet, he would have said that your map of Yan State was a bit long.

I watched the two of them trying things on in their shop, saying some strange things, and then left without buying anything. The owner of the jewelry shop was dumbfounded. Why are these two people like this?

However, he didn't dare to say anything more. He still had the necessary eyesight. He could tell someone who offended someone at a glance, and there was no need to offend him.

But not long after, he raised his head and saw a short fat man dressed in gold and jade. He glanced at his jewelry and waved his fat hand wearing a jade ring, "I want them all."

At this time, Zheng Ze had already walked to the door of Zilanxuan, but the sight they saw made both of them stunned for a moment.

There were quite a few people standing in front of the gate, both men and women, and there were even more women. It was a really strange sight.

A man raised his arms in protest, "Why don't you teach me? My mother-in-law will not affect your business!"

Standing next to him was a slightly delicate woman, standing shyly, not daring to raise her head. As a concubine, she naturally dare not go against a man's wishes.

Someone took the lead, and then someone else echoed, even a woman, "Yes, women can't go in. Is this how you do business?"

She really came to learn skills. As a widowed woman, her life was not easy. She would be more confident if she learned more skills.

Those who are thin-skinned are studying at home and studying on their own, but those here are obviously a group of more motivated people. As for why you have to come to Zilanxuan instead of reading short stories to educate yourself. If you really can learn well by reading books, what else do you need a teacher to do?
Seeing this scene, Yan Lingji curled her lips and said, "This is all your fault. Why should I ask them for advice?"

"Why are you joining in the fun? Who can teach her better than me personally?" Zheng Ze stretched out his index finger and tapped her smooth forehead. Without any interest in watching the fun, he walked towards his own courtyard next to her.

It was lively outside the door, and the outer hall after entering was equally lively. The Zilan Pavilion, which was full of people because of Zheng Ze's few short stories, was already very noisy. At this time, the outer hall was as noisy as a vegetable market.

However, under the arrangement of Zi Nu, the scene in the inner hall suddenly changed as we walked further inside. There was a piano girl playing soothing tunes around, lingering and pathos, and there was a flute playing in harmony next to it, which made people feel calm and painted a picture. A peaceful and peaceful scene.

During the banquet, some people hugged the girl accompanying them and couldn't help but kiss and hug her. Others held the girl's hands and talked softly. Everyone's behavior is different, but names such as Hong Yu and Lu Liu often appear during the banquet, and they are all described in Zheng Ze's stories.

The purple girl on the second floor looked at the sisters outside busying themselves up and down, feeling a little relieved but also a little headache.

The people waiting in the outer hall are already in a mess. There are also a group of women and men with women outside the door. If they are let in like this, it will become a mess.

But how to deal with it is a difficult problem, and you can't just leave it alone. Allowing them to make noise will always bring some bad effects.

At this moment, a maid ran over, "Sister Zinu, the sister guarding the door said that she saw Mr. Zheng coming back next door."

Hearing this, Zi Nu's legs tightened unconsciously, and she suppressed the urge to almost stand up. She raised her head, her charming face full of seriousness, "Is she sure she saw it correctly?"

The maid nodded, "You can't be wrong if you said you saw him entering the attic next door."

Now Zi Nu stood up and put the account book on the table. "You go out with me and ask someone to call Nong Yu over and help me for a while."

It had to be said that Zheng Ze came back at the right time. Faced with such a hot scene in Zilanxuan, she felt that it had far exceeded her expectations. Even if the neglect of management was affected, the business would not be bad. But she was a little unwilling.

After hearing Zheng Ze's name, almost without thinking, I felt that he must have a solution.

After going out, she turned around and came to the door. She was not surprised to see Tang Ba guarding the door. He has been taking care of this place since Zheng Ze left, making sure that the ground will not be covered with dust when he comes back.

Seeing the person coming, Tang Ba lowered his head slightly, "Miss Zi Nu, the master is upstairs, you can go directly."

It seemed that Zheng Ze had expected her to come. After nodding, Zi Nu went straight upstairs without being polite.

As soon as they reached the stairs, they could faintly hear the conversation coming from them.

"I just told you that people may not appreciate it if you try your best to help!" This was the voice of Yan Lingji, who said she was a bit resentful.

"There's a beginning and an end!" She heard the complaint in her ears, and Zheng Ze just responded with a smile. She found that Yan Lingji was so persistent that she didn't want to see herself suffer.

She heard Zheng Ze's voice again, and it was talking about herself, which seemed not to be a good word. She hesitated for a moment whether she should go there, when the maid behind her stepped on the wooden board, making a creaking sound.

"Who?!"

Hearing a sweet shout, Zi Nu sighed and walked in with long legs and a standard friendly smile on her lips, saying, "I seem to have come at the wrong time?"

After walking in, the first thing that caught his eye was Zheng Ze, who was leaning in front of the desk. He seemed to be writing something with his head down. Then there was Yan Lingji, who was leaning half of her body against the window sill, playing with her hair in her hands.

Hearing the familiar voice of Sister Yu, Zheng Ze slowly raised his head and saw this charming face again, but it seemed that due to hard work, even a master like her looked a little haggard.

Putting down the pen, rubbing his wrist, shaking his head, Zheng Ze said, "No, you came at the right time."
