The wisdom is against the sky: people in Daqin, the maid Shao Siming

"My dear son-in-law, don't blame my second daughter."

"I think you can see that what happened just now was just a test."

"After all, the next decision concerns the rise and fall of Beiliang for decades, and the lives of countless soldiers and civilians, so I hope you can forgive me."

Ying Chen waved his hand nonchalantly at Xu Weixiong, "Don't worry, Second Miss. I understand."

"This concerns the fate of the entire Beiliang, so it is never too cautious."

"Put yourself in their shoes. If it were me, I would do the same."

Having said that, Ying Chen turned and looked at Xu Xiao.

"and."

"If you have not tested the other person and do not know what kind of person he is, you can make such an important decision at will."

"On the contrary, I have to wonder whether my father-in-law sincerely wants to lead Beiliang to join our Great Qin."

"After all, even I in Daqin have heard of the great name of King Xu Xiao of Beiliang."

"How could such a person make such a hasty decision?"

"So testing is inevitable. The ruler chooses his subjects, and the subjects choose their ruler. This is the truth."

Seeing Ying Chen say this, it seemed that he really had no grudge in his heart. Xu Xiao, Xu Weixiong and Li Yishan on the side all breathed a sigh of relief.

"This wise son-in-law has such a broad mind, I really admire him."

"If Feng Nian had half of your tolerance and ability, I wouldn't have to worry about Beiliang's future all the time!"

As he said this, Xu Xiao let out a long sigh.

When Xu Fengnian heard what his father said, he couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.

Although he thought that he was not bad, he had only been pretending to be a playboy for the past ten years.

But when he really compared himself with Ying Chen, he felt that he could not be compared with him at all, so he could only smile bitterly and dared not speak.

However, Xu Xiao ignored Xu Fengnian. Instead, his expression suddenly became extremely serious and he stared at Ying Chen in front of him.

Then, he asked the question that he wanted to know most.

"I just don't know, dear son-in-law, what do you think of the throne of the Great Qin Empire?"

.........

......

...

"Are we finally getting to the point?"

"It seems that Xu Xiao has indeed made up his mind, and everything I just did is worth it."

Ying Chen thought in his heart.

Ying Chen was not surprised at all that Xu Xiao would ask this question.

After all, since Xu Xiao has decided to lead Beiliang to be loyal to him, what he should do next is extremely important.

If he was interested in the throne of the Qin Empire, Xu Xiao would have to accompany him in the rebellion, and his future would be uncertain.

If he did not have such ambitions, Xu Xiao could breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time nominally submit to Ying Zheng and obey the orders of the Qin Dynasty.

And at this time, it was not just Xu Xiao.

Li Yishan, Xu Weixiong and Xu Fengnian on the side were also staring at Ying Chen, waiting for him to give an answer.

After all, the answer is extremely important to Beiliang.

At this moment, Ying Chen slowly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Then he said, "There is no rush for the throne of the Great Qin Empire. Beiliang can completely obey the orders of Brother Ying Zheng."

Xu Xiao, Li Yishan and others were somewhat confused when they heard Ying Chen's answer.

They had thought of countless possibilities, but they never expected Ying Chen to say that.

What does it mean to be in no hurry and to be able to completely obey Ying Zheng's orders? This is completely incomprehensible to them.

If you are interested in the throne, shouldn't you start planning now and prepare for a future rebellion?

And if he has no intention, he can just say so, so that they can understand that Ying Chen does not have such huge ambitions.

Seeing their puzzled looks, Ying Chen realized that they did not understand his thoughts.

But it’s not surprising, after all, they don’t know what will happen in the future.

Therefore, Ying Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the window.

"What can you see from there?"

Hearing Ying Chen's words, everyone looked in the direction of his finger.

It was pitch black outside the window and I could hardly see anything.

Only the stars are hanging high above the sky.

"Star?"

Xu Zhihu asked Ying Chen tentatively.

"Correct!"

"There is a secret technique in Yin-Yang School called astrology."

"You can gain insight into the future trends of the world by observing the direction of the stars in the sky!"

Hearing Xu Zhihu's question, Ying Chen reached out and gently held her little hand.

In an instant, Xu Zhihu's body stiffened.

Even the hand that was pouring wine for Ying Chen trembled slightly, spilling the wine onto the table, and her cheeks were inexplicably stained with a blush.

But she pursed her lips and did not pull away the hand that Ying Chen was holding.

However, Li Yishan and Xu Xiao did not notice Xu Zhihu's abnormality, but looked at each other.

The two seemed to understand what Ying Chen meant.

At this moment, Li Yishan bowed to Ying Chen and said, "Mr. Ying Chen."

"You mean you can judge the fate of the Qin Empire by observing the direction of the stars in the sky?

"And the reason why we are dealing with this is that we are sure that there will be a more suitable opportunity in the future to ascend the throne of the Qin Dynasty?"

Hearing Li Yishan's question, Ying Chen nodded without hiding anything.

After all, Beiliang and Daqin don't have much relationship except for himself as the intermediary. They are his confidants, and they will prosper together and suffer together.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that they will reveal anything to Ying Zheng in advance.

"My brother and I have a close relationship, like brothers, so I did not want to rebel when he was the King of Qin."

"I also believe that my brother has the ability to make the Great Qin Empire prosper."

"However, my brother has never practiced cultivation because of his power, and his life span is the same as that of an ordinary person."

At this point, Ying Chen sighed softly.

"I once observed the stars and found that without my intervention, the Qin Empire would have perished in the second generation."

"That is to say, a hundred years from now, my brother will be succeeded by a foolish and incompetent person as the King of Qin."

"When the time comes, I will naturally take action to reorganize the Qin Dynasty and make the final decision."

Ying Chen spoke very tactfully, as if he was unwilling to compete with Ying Zheng for the throne.

As for the concern that he would not have time to practice after inheriting the throne, Ying Chen did not reveal this to Xu Xiao and Li Yishan.

After all, compared to power, strength and longevity are more important in Ying Chen's mind.

Otherwise, even if he gained power, he would die young, which was totally not what Ying Chen wanted.

After hearing Ying Chen's words, Li Yishan and Xu Xiao looked at each other in surprise.

They had never expected that Ying Chen would have such a plan.

What terrified them the most was that Ying Chen could actually see the future several decades later by observing the stars?!

However, although they were shocked by the power of Ying Chen's astrological laws, the two did not doubt Ying Chen's statement too much.

After all, being able to predict the future in this world is magical, but it is not an isolated case.

There are many people who know their destiny in the second half of their lives through divination, so the two naturally believed what Ying Chen said.

At this moment, the happiest person was actually Xu Xiao.

He didn't expect that Ying Chen was so "loyal and righteous".

He was even unwilling to overthrow his brother's throne because of his friendship with him.

This made Xu Xiao feel more at ease and he entrusted the future of Beiliang to Ying Chen.

Therefore, Xu Xiao raised his glass and praised Ying Chen: "Good son-in-law, I respect you!"

Ying Chen picked up the wine glass, smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

When Ying Chen put down his wine glass, Li Yishan said in a deep voice: "Then I wonder, Mr. Ying Chen, if we Beiliang and Liyang go to war, what support can Daqin provide?"

Hearing Li Yishan's question, Xu Xiao stopped talking and stared at Ying Chen again, waiting for his answer.

"You two also know that the most important thing for my Great Qin now is to unify the seven kingdoms."

"So if we do send troops, I'm afraid we won't send too many troops."

"But if it's food, armor, weapons, and other supplies needed for war, my Great Qin can give Beiliang a satisfactory answer."

Ying Chen did not exaggerate. After all, the main goal of the Qin Dynasty now is to unify the seven kingdoms.

Therefore, it is indeed not easy to send troops to Beiliang.

But if it is just food and other war supplies, with the national strength of the Qin Dynasty, there naturally won't be too many problems.

Moreover, Ying Chen felt that what Beiliang lacked was not soldiers.

After all, the combat effectiveness of Beiliang soldiers is obvious to all.

Even the powerful Qin army could not claim to be able to crush Beiliang.

The biggest problem for Beiliang is that if they leave Liyang, they will lack food and other resources necessary for war.

Ying Chen took a sip of wine and continued, "Besides, our Great Qin will not force Beiliang to destroy Liyang. As long as we can contain Liyang and prevent them from sending troops to harass Great Qin, that will be enough."

"As long as the Qin Dynasty unifies the seven kingdoms, its troops will surely head towards Liyang. Then we can capture the entire Liyang in one fell swoop."

"Then Beiliang will be a meritorious official of our Great Qin. I promise here that Xu Fengnian can still retain the title of King of Beiliang."

"So, what do you think of this condition?"

.........433...

.......

...

Li Yishan and Xu Xiao were not surprised at all when they heard Ying Chen's words.

They both understood that the most important thing for Daqin now was naturally the war in their own country.

Originally, they didn't think that the Qin Dynasty could send many troops to support them.

Now that they heard that Ying Chen was willing to provide food and other support to Beiliang, this was already the most satisfactory answer in their hearts.

They are confident that as long as Beiliang is not short of food, they will be absolutely invincible.

However, although they had obtained the answers to the two most important questions, Xu Xiao and Li Yishan were also satisfied.

But the two still did not agree directly.

"I already know the sir's conditions."

"However, this matter still needs to be discussed by our Beiliang senior management before a decision can be made, so please wait a few more days, sir."

Xu Xiao didn't say anything. Li Yishan bowed and said respectfully to Ying Chen.

Ying Chen nodded, not surprised.
