      The King of the Warring States Era - Long Zhu

      BEAUTY

      CHAPTER 501 - BACK MISTS

      Chen Ling did not expect that it was because of this that Zhang Yi fell ill, and it was a bit of a laughing matter, with one going up and the other going down, the two protagonists of the two great strategies, in the end, because of her appearance, both suffered from diseases and became bedridden.

      What a sin! Sin!

      At this time, Gongsun Yan moved mysteriously and said: I suspect that this Zhang Yi who came to Wei last year seems to not be simple.

      Chen Ling listened intently and was a little puzzled. He asked: What's not simple?

      Gongsun Yan pondered: If he is not sick, this old man has not thought much, after the King of Qin Wu ascended the throne, there were rumors that the Martial King and Zhang Yi did not get along, and they hated diplomatic affairs, they already had a reserve of heavy soldiers, so they had to achieve their goals as soon as possible, thus they appointed Chu Liji as Prime Minister, drove Zhang Yi away, and reused Gan Mao, Wei Ran and the rest. Now that this old man thinks about it, I am afraid that all the six nations of the East have fallen for the Qin Nation's scheme.

      How? Chen Ling frowned and asked.

      Gongsun Yan and I were enemies before, but when we ran off to the various marquises, one of us was in cahoots while the other was in a cross. Although we didn't see each other for long, we were both very clear about each other's natures, even though this old man was already on guard when Zhang Yi came to Wei, but I didn't manage to find any clues on him in the dark, and now that I found some clues regarding the materials, it wasn't hard to find out that the east of the river was lost during the battles. Someone had handed the map to the Qin Nation as a spy. There was a gap between the imperial court and the military.

      The old me is thinking, it is very likely that Zhang Yi came to Wei, that the Qin Nation is already prepared and is planning to expand to the east, that outside of the Hangu Pass is the Korea, that outside of the Yellow River is the Wei Nation and the Zhao Nation, and outside of the Wu Guan is the Chu Clan. The old me is thinking, that it is very likely that the Qin Nation is ready and is planning to expand to the east, that outside of the Hangu Pass is the Wei Nation and the Zhao Nation is on the other side of the Yellow River, and outside of the Wu Pass is the Chu Clan.

      Therefore, Zhang Yi must have come here as the vanguard, disintegrating the imperial court, becoming familiar with the military defenses, making use of the reckless crown prince to disrupt the political process, destroying the interests of the entire country. Unfortunately, before the time that you have come for the war to begin, you appeared and caused the Qin Army to suffer losses, retreating several troops, and even the King of Qin Wu had their Qin Nation killed by you. This plan has led Zhang Yi to his failure in her plans, causing him to be depressed and depressed.

      Chen Ling smiled. Everything had happened like this, with an inexplicable interference, causing history to go awry. However, he had a misconception that history seemed to be different from what he knew.

      He felt that there were two possibilities: one was the history of the future generation, only forty to fifty percent of it was real, and there were too many differences between the facts and the records of history, which was what really happened; two was not just a time point, but something that seemed like a god, the history of the past had already happened, time had reversed, people could not be revived, it could only be said that he passed through to another intersecting space point, which coincidentally happened to be the Warring States Age of Hua Xia.

      Chen Ling was becoming more and more convinced of his second point. He didn't return to the Ancient Era, but to a time space that was similar to the Ancient Era. He didn't need to worry about changing history at all.

      What do you think about the guards and soldiers this time, Prime Minister?

      Gongsun Yan nodded his head: "Quickly finish the battle, three years is the limit, this is the requirement for the environment, now that Wei Guo is the Wei Shi Jun, mediocre talent, in the past, among the second rate dukes, why not Song, Yue, and similar to Zhongshan and Lu, the Wei Guo is one of the dukes with the same surname, after Zhou Gongfeng decided on the chaos, with his younger brother Kang Shu being conferred the title of a Marquis of Wei, and they are divided into Shang and Yin citizens, protecting the royal family, Ji family, and the same branch of the royal family. Twenty years ago, they were reduced to the royal family.

      Now, other than morning song, there are four other large cities, namely Puyang, Chengyang, Pingyi, Pingling Tomb, and more than twenty counties. After devouring Wei Tu, the nation of Wei will expand its borders, the north will be connected to Zhao and Yan, the east will be connected to the Qi Nation, and the need for Devouring Soldiers will definitely increase as well. Chen Ling, this time, bring the Right Army to become a guard, you must not kill any innocent people recklessly.

      Chen Ling nodded slightly, agreeing with his words. According to the records of history, Yan Zhaoge was a man of many tragic songs and a gentleman who protected the earth since ancient times.

      Confucius traveled around the country for fourteen years, ten of which was in Wei, because there were a lot of gentlemen of his sex here. Wu Wang's brother, Ziza, had traveled around the world, and she was well-known for her foresight, so he concluded at Wei, There is nothing wrong with Wei Duo.

      Flipping through the ancient texts, it was not hard to find that among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there were three who went out to defend themselves: KindLu Xu, Emperor Zhuang, Emperor Shun, Gongsun Martingale, Wu Qi, Monk Zang, Lu Buwei, Zhang Yi, Lady Xu, Gong Tianliang, Wang Xianzhi, Nanji Yun, Zi Lu, etc. These famous people all came from Xiao Wei.

      Gongsun Yan lamented: Taking over the Acropolis is is only one of them, the next step is to attack the Song Dynasty, and the key point is that the Song Nation is strong, not weaker than the Yan Nation. When the Song Nation is divided up by Qi, Chu, Wei, and Zhao, there will inevitably be conflicts, and after this, the countries will be at war, and the five great warcountries of the Central Plains will no longer be in the middle of the war.

      Chen Ling did not stay for the meal and directly left the Prime Minister's Estate. After getting on his horse, he rode his horse out of Clear Sky Street under the protection of his close bodyguards.

      He thought of two things: first, how to move the property without being discovered, which would be more confidential, and how to do some false accounting and secret channels, so as not to let the business department of the Wei nation find out about the big changes in his finances.

      Secondly, because of the scheme that Qin Nation and Zhang Yi had set up, she did not know if they had other tricks up their sleeves, so she had to be more careful. This matter gave him a warning, and when he came back, he could use this tactic, using Su Qin to disrupt the various dukes.

      It was just that when the Qi Nation was strong and close to the sea, in order to attack the Qi Nation, they had to mess up their internal affairs. They had to send Su Qin as a spy and join their ranks to do so, in addition, the Yan Nation needed the navy, cross Bohai Bay, grab the beach, and bypass the Great Wall's line of defense of the Qi Nation. Everything would be easier if they wanted to attack the Qi Nation.

      Chen Ling was not in the mood to shop and returned to his residence very quickly. The butler came forward and handed over the invitation. It was a letter sent by the Wu Ling Jun Wei Yu.

      Young Master Wei has not been this enthusiastic for a long time. He threw in an olive branch this time, does he want to pull me back into his camp? Or is there another purpose? After Chen Ling finished reading the invitation card, he stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his heart filled with suspicions.

      CHAPTER 502 - MEMBER OF THE SECRET AGENT

      When Chen Ling received the Young Master Wei's invitation, he hesitated for a moment, as if he had returned to a year ago, when he had just come to the main branch. Master Hou had treated him as a trusted aide, capable and dedicated to him, afraid that his position was low, his reputation was small, and he would not be able to help him with anything.

      Chen Ling's rank was only level 16 and his rank was that of a general. However, he was still only four levels away from being a official and a level 20 marquis.

      Could it be that Young Master Wei is going to rope me in again? Actually, I don't have any conflict of interest with him. It's just that this person was suspicious and thought that I have joined the King and was highly regarded by the King. I was used to balance the relationship between the Crown Prince and the other princes and isolated myself to deal with them.

      Young Master Wei also feels that I have regained my noble position and may not put him in my eyes anymore. As a result, fear starts to grow in my heart, and I become more and more distant from Chen Mansion.

      Because of this, the princes and princes could seize power from it. Not only did it match the King's mentality of balancing the various powers, it also fit the interests of some of the ministers in the military. As long as the situation was clear, there would not be any problems.

      Chen Ling thought about it briefly and felt that the situation was becoming more and more complicated. It was a pity that he had never been an official in his previous life, hence he could not understand some of the rules and secrets.

      But Chen Ling had to integrate himself and properly analyze it to understand the minute details of the officials. Only then would it be beneficial for him to control the officials and command the world in the future.

      This was a university question!

      When Chen Ling returned to the study room, not long later, Jing Yan was outside asking for an audience.

      Come in.

      Jing Yan walked into the study room. His body was brimming with a heroic spirit, as if he had become more mature after taking on such a heavy responsibility. A seventeen year old youngster no longer had a tender expression on his face.

      Greetings, young master!

      Chen Ling raised his head and looked at Jing Yan who had grown up, as if he was looking at his own little brother.

      Reporting to Young Noble, your subordinate has already found a total of seven people in the residence. There are also three people who came from the market and have met with this subordinate a few times.

      Where is it now? Chen Ling thought for a while and asked.

      Jing Yan replied respectfully: They are all waiting in the side room of the residence's first courtyard for Young Master to summon them.

      Chen Ling thought that this hidden dragon secret manual was a new power that had to be firmly grasped in his hands. He had to circulate it in advance to pry out information, after all the Jinshan Guard belonged to the Yan Nation, and the people there did not know his identity as the King of Yan. Other than Chunyu Zhen, there were many other things that would be inconvenient for him to contact them.

      When the time comes, compared to the intelligence reports of the Jinshan Guard, it would be more accurate to determine the reliability of the information. As the Sovereign King, the most important thing was to listen to the information as well.

      It was a pity that after the founding of the Empire's second generation, they grew up within the palace since childhood. All the hearsay was told by their subjects and their attendants, and those who heard it would see it and believe it. Those who entered the country would more or less say something that was advantageous to them, and those who spoke words that did not benefit others were still loyal officials.

      If the imperial court were to meet with servants and foreign officials trying to gain power, then words were completely useless. Even the Emperor of the palace would only hear empty words, not the truth of the society. How could he become an enlightened monarch? He had even put on his hat as a man who didn't lose his sense of decency.

      Chen Ling stood up and said: I'll go take a look at these people now, is it suitable?

      Jing Yan's heart was slightly nervous, afraid that this would be the first time he could handle such a big matter independently and cause his young master to be unhappy. He brought Chen Ling to the first courtyard and carefully entered the room.

      Amongst these people, there were seven people who belonged to the Chen Mansion. It was impossible for Chen Ling to recognize all of them, but these seven were all familiar with Chen Ling, because they were all his department generals.

      On the contrary, the other three people had never had direct contact with Chen Ling, but lived in Dazhu, which included hawkers in small businesses, blacksmiths, and hunters. The three of them had never met any big officials, but they had heard of Chen Ling's reputation and had long heard of him.

      Chen Ling swept a glance over these ten people, and saw that their appearances were basically all normal, or even too ordinary. After looking at them, and placing them in the crowd, it was difficult to find any difference between them and other people, it was just like the public faces, which could very easily be forgotten.

      He had an ordinary temperament, an ordinary appearance, sharp eyes, and a wide variety of features. It was as if he was completely different from the secret agents and spies.

      Jing Yan noticed that his master was frowning and he became a little nervous. He tried asking, Sir, they are also … Is that okay?"

      Chen Ling turned around and looked at Jing Yan, then nodded his head to praise him: That's right, that's right, the secret agent must have no special characteristics, if placed in the market, it can quickly assimilate into the body, appearance, face, etc. It cannot be, this is the basic requirement for entering the business, for this, choosing one is not wrong.

      If all of them were as handsome as James Bond, mesmerized by one look, and carried out a fart mission, everyone would know that they were secret agents and agents, and that they were only acting for the audience, not the real thing.

      Chen Ling walked to the center of the arena and spoke to the ten of them: I have a very important mission for you to take care of, there's no glory, no fame, no reputation, and no reputation, but there's always the danger of losing your head, it's a battle without smoke.

      These ten people did not believe it, thinking that working for Young Master was definitely a tragic feat, life could not be spared from death, if one was capable enough, and did meritorious deeds for the Lieutenant General Chen, there would definitely be someone who would remember them in another way.

      We can all work for Young Master, even if we die we will still be honored!

      With no regrets …

      All ten of them opened their mouths to express their allegiance. It was as if they were saying their farewells to a brave warrior once he left but would never return. They were all filled with a sense of righteousness.

      Chen Ling shook his head and laughed: I am not telling you to die immediately, but to carry out a mission, this mission is so easy to say, and even more so, it is very dangerous, and at any time, you are in danger of being exposed, so you are being killed secretly. The person I am referring to as an agent, in reality, is just a secret spy, I plan to create an unfathomable secret with my own hands, Jing Yan is your leader, and the ten of you are the first ten people to enter the sect, each of you is promoted to the position of vice commander, following Jing Yan and I's orders, other, no one can obey anyone's orders, even if the person is my father, understand? These are the rules!

      The ten men looked at each other and said in unison, Understood!

      Chen Ling said calmly: "Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, is an organization that has been secretly probing for information. There is a vertical line of communication, and contact and meeting are not allowed, so the orders are passed down from the upper echelons to the lower levels one by one, from today onwards, the probing information will be reported up to the upper levels one by one. From then on, all seven of you will have your identities changed, you will no longer be part of Chen Mansion, and you can no longer contact any of the people around you.

      "Next up, I will pass down some requirements, methods to scout out, grasp the details, and so on to you guys, and formulate a series of guidelines, for me to memorize all the details, and then after to go back, hide in various spots in the Daliang City, and develop secret methods. You are not allowed to mention who you work for, nor who are the managers of the upper echelons.

      CHAPTER 503 - A DIFFERENT LANDSCAPE

      Chen Ling then passed on the execution rules and punishment orders of the Hidden Dragon Secret Art to everyone, some of the rules had to be memorized. For the time being, he didn't have any missions, he just hid his power and used it for a month, then spread it over the entire beam.

      Remember, all of you are just like ghosts in the dark, you are not allowed to see the light. According to the characters you choose, the ones you are most adept in will take root, and the ten of you are like ghosts in the dark, and you are not allowed to see the light.

      For the time being, your only task is to have a firm footing, learn how to gather information and disguise your identity. In the future, you must use more of your brain and move less, just like before, only knowing how to fight and kill each other is not enough. In the next few days, you will all stay in the mansion.

      Right now, the situation was still not too grim. Chen Ling did not plan to send them to the enemy countries to spy on them, even if he knew.

      However, things will be different in the future. As long as they develop for a few years, this team of spies will become an important force, acting within the borders of the original dukes, they will also have the functions of an intelligence agency and special forces, probing into the enemy's situation, assassinating the enemy's head, attacking with an anti-submarine attack, monitoring the unusual movements of the various countries' political and military officials. All kinds of unconventional yet service to war will be borne, so Chen Ling had to recruit and focus on nurturing all kinds of talents.

      In a month, it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it would be the time for the Great Wei to use his army. At that time, perhaps this secret service would be of some use, but it would not be exposed, because he did not plan to let anyone know of this secret service's power.

      Chen Ling walked out of the room, with Jing Yan following him. The former turned and said to him in a low voice: "You have done well, these few people are average in appearance, have a flexible mind, and have a calm nature, they are all suitable to be secret agents, but after that, you have to strictly guard them, reward them clearly, if there is any greed or lust, or if they break the military order, all of them must be removed. Other than the secret personnel, you establish another law enforcement team to specially train the warriors to assassinate and steal.

      Jing Yan understood after a little more. If there was someone in the middle who betrayed or disobeyed the military order, killed them decisively without mercy, or if their identity was exposed, they would be killed one by one after being captured. This was the secret method.

      Chen Ling continued to speak: "Gold bead jade treasure, use it as much as you can and send a capital application form every month with our Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce in charge of the expenses.

      Jing Yan's heart skipped a beat as his blood surged. With how much Young Master trusted him, knowing how to show mercy caused him to choke up. He cupped his fist and bowed.

      Chen Ling patted the young man's shoulders and did not say anything else. Everything had been said without saying, maybe in the future, this young man would be able to contribute a lot to become one of his capable subordinates.

      … ….

      Chen Ling returned to the fifth main courtyard and accompanied Ruo Ruo out of the courtyard after lunch, and met Rong, Qian Qian, and Zhen Yan'er.

      Looking at the two women covered in sweat, he could not help but ask, Why are they covered in sweat?

      Yan Rong smiled: Young master, Miss Zhen is guiding us to train in the sword, and has given us a method to train our bones and strength.

      Qian Qian was also at the side saying fearfully: That's right, Young Noble, Miss Zhen has so much experience. His sword skills are brilliant, it is not any weaker than the skill the Young Noble taught us, the sword skills of a virgin girl. In the future, Qu Rou Rou Rou, Li Xue and the others will definitely not be able to defeat the two of us.

      Chen Ling looked at Zhen Yan in surprise, thinking to himself, what's wrong with this girl's personality? So easy to talk to.

      Of course the Miss Zhen's sword techniques are powerful, even your young master might not be her match, the attacks and assassinations that your young master is most proficient at, you have to learn more in this area. Chen Ling said with a smile.

      Zhen Yan coldly snorted and rolled his eyes at him. He said with an unpleasant expression on his face, Chen Ling, are you praising me, or are you reprimanding me? Do I only know how to assassinate? Just like in the open, you are my opponent?

      Chen Ling quickly replied: Yes, yes, no matter if it's the assassination attempts behind the scenes or the fair and square duels, they are all above me.

      Zhen Yan humphed again, No need to be so flattering, it sounds so hypocritical. And above you, it's actually been taken by you? To be openly demeaning to others, don't think that I wouldn't be able to discern it.

      Chen Ling wiped away the sweat on his forehead. This girl was invincible, her words were like a sword, and everything she said was wrong.

      About that, you guys continue with your training. After I finish my training, I still have things to do, so I'll head back first. Miss Zhen, rest early …

      Chen Ling had lost all his heroic spirit and fled. Fighting with a woman, how could he be her opponent, moreover it was the number one female assassin.

      He left in big strides, leaving behind the three girls. Rong and Qian Qian couldn't help but laugh when they saw their young master's miserable escaping figure and the arrogant Miss Zhen.

      Miss Zhen glared at the two girls. What are you laughing at?

      said faintly: Miss Zhen, we have never seen Young Master being so afraid of a woman. Hehe, you are truly amazing, a female hero!

      A hero does not yield!

      Stop flattering me! Although being scolded was being scolded, Rakshasi Zhen Yan'er seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. A smile appeared on her face and quickly disappeared as she put on a stern expression and continued to talk more than she had in the last ten years in Chen Mansion. Now that she had started to talk, she no longer had a murderous look on her face.

      It was just like an introvert who stayed closed all year round, had a solitary, quiet personality. Suddenly, in a lively, warm, and happy family or occasion, he would gradually learn to communicate and interact with others. Slowly, he would lead and melt.

      From the looks of it, the female Asura was still able to be a kind and ordinary woman!

      Chen Ling quickly walked into the sixth courtyard. This was the Chen Mansion's rear garden, and inside, there were several exquisite bamboo houses beside the bamboo house, which was the resting place for senior sister Zhuang Ruoshui, and should not be disturbed by the other girls inside the house.

      Just like a paradise in Chen Mansion, only Chen Ling was able to come in and spend a while with her, chatting with her.

      Senior Sister, have you eaten lunch? The moment Chen Ling entered the bamboo forest, he saw Zhuang Ruoshui standing at the side of a pond full of jade-green water, dressed in white, looking at the lotus seeds filled with lotus flowers.

      Chen Ling took a deep breath. This feeling, was like bathing in the first wisp of spring wind after the late winter. It was a refreshing and refreshing feeling, it was the feeling of being refreshed by nature.

      Senior Sister! Chen Ling felt that when Zhuang Ruoshui mixed with the scenery around him, it was like a painting in ink, it was simply too agile and beautiful.

      Zhuang Ruoshui leisurely turned around, and with that kind of natural, beautiful curve, he looked at him and suddenly smiled beautifully. His senior sister who was usually as calm as water, suddenly smiled like a beauty that suppressed the world and nature.

      Senior Sister … She smiled, as if. His entire person has changed a little."

      Chen Ling strode forward, unrestrainedly holding onto her jade-like hands, and lightly praised: Senior Sister, you're really beautiful!

      CHAPTER 504 - THE KILLING INTENT FADED

      Chen Ling accompanied his senior sister and quietly sat at the edge of the bamboo forest, watching the pond water. The cool breeze assaulted them, and even though he did not do anything, this tranquility and harmony of the dao, caused Chen Ling's entire body and mind to feel extremely comfortable. It was not any less than the feeling of a man and woman having fun together.

      The peaceful, warm, ethereal, crystal clear, free, unrestrained, unworldly, otherworldly, transcendent, vast, immortal's aura, it caused Chen Ling's body and mind to calm down. His mind was clear, as though he had instantly understood a layer of philosophy.

      The desire and lust that he had for a moment ago vanished, looking at it, Chen Ling also looked somewhat otherworldly.

      Zhuang Ruoshui smiled and said softly: Have you comprehended it yet?

      Chen Ling nodded his head, I have a slight feeling that I'm wandering around …

      Zhuang Ruoshui said, You can still understand a little more.

      Unless Senior Sister is always by my side! Chen Ling said shamelessly.

      Zhuang Ruoshui smiled gently. In that instant, he gave off an unmatched beauty, giving off the impression of the essence of heaven and earth. Weren't you always by your side?

      Chen Ling didn't know how to reply. He wrapped his arms around his waist and snuggled into his embrace. Although they moved intimately, the two of them were completely free of emotions. Watching the natural scene around them, Chen Ling was captivated.

      After a while, Zhuang Ruoshui brought up a matter. "Junior brother, I have observed for the past two days that Rakshasi's killing intent seems to have weakened greatly.

      Oh, is that so? Is it because I sealed her acupoints and Qi channels? Without super strong power in my body, I no longer have the right to live or die, so my entire body will no longer be filled with killing intent. Chen Ling asked.

      Zhuang Ruoshui nodded his head lightly, then shook his head: There are some relationships, but it's not the main point, the higher a person's position of power, the harder it is to control joy, anger, sadness, and joy. It's the same for martial artists, their sword arts and martial arts are extraordinary, holding the power to kill, indeed, would affect a person's mental state, but the higher one's cultivation, the higher their mental state would be, and at a higher realm, they would be able to balance their own emotions.

      The reason why this Rakshasi has lost her killing intent and obsession seems to be because she truly has a change in her heart. Perhaps you changed the killing intent around her?

      Chen Ling said in shock: That's impossible, she … Is it that easy to guide his? When he sees me, he even cries for help, and that gives me a headache."

      Zhuang Ruoshui said: As long as she is willing to talk to you, it is good enough that he is, at that time when I was in the dark, I fought with his quite a few times, the killing intent was really heavy, with a radius of a few meters, shrouded in her body by the cold Qi, as though his life force was completely gone, now that she has unknowingly restrained a lot, her nature is changing, she has treated the two servants in your house very well, he is willing to train in sword techniques and martial arts, when has she gotten along with others?

      Chen Ling thought about it, and indeed there were some subtle changes, maybe this was a good start? If he could win her over, break away from the Stinger's League, and join them, how many secrets and assassins could he train for the Chen Mansion? Carrying out counter-assassination, concealment, and assassination missions would definitely be much smoother.

      He was definitely a good instructor!

      Of course, this matter could not be rushed. If he had to wait for a good opportunity, he would have to see if she was really willing to leave the Stinger's League. Would she be willing to stay and live a normal life?

      The afternoon quickly passed and Chen Ling reluctantly left the backyard, returning to the main bedroom. Under Ruo Ruo's care, he changed into a green silk gown with a python belt around his waist, and a light blue silk scarf wrapped around his hair. His eyebrows were like swords, his nose was starry, and his red teeth were white.

      Young master, are you going to the Fragrant Sky restaurant tonight?

      Yes, the Young Master Wei is hosting a banquet, I can't not go. Chen Ling stood there and allowed Jin Ruoruo to tidy up his collar and the wrinkles on the corner of his clothes.

      Jin Ruoruo smiled like a flower: If you go, the sisters of the Fragrant Sky Tower will all be envious. Many of them are secretly envious of you if you marry into the Chen Mansion, and climb up the branches to become a phoenix. Maybe there will be a row of women willing to rest in wait, and not accept any sleeping gold.

      Why? Chen Ling heard the hidden meaning in his words and asked.

      Now that young master has become a hero of the Wei Kingdom, he has both power and wealth, and has become a new rich and powerful man in the Da Liang Empire. The young master is still young, and has not reached the prime of his life yet, so he is naturally the target of many women's affection. Furthermore, young master has a kind personality, and as long as you have a night's sleep with him, you might be able to bring him back to the mansion. Jin Ruoruo answered truthfully.

      Chen Ling secretly sucked in a cold breath of air. Although she said that it was his own merit, but it was also a fatal weakness. In the warring era of the Warring States, benevolence was not the king.

      The meaning behind this was that it was not that the general could not be kind to his subordinates, but that he must not let the woman down at the most crucial moment. The general must have the iron will and determination to command the troops when they were being used for a time, and he must not be unscrupulous, lenient, lenient, or lenient, or lenient, or lenient, or lenient, or lenient, or otherwise, which would spoil the whole situation.

      His weakness was that most of his thoughts were still based on the later generations' thinking. His sympathy and protection of women could be considered his woman after a night of sleep, and he wanted to take her away to make the world puzzled. He even thought that his greed and lust for women was soft, so many women in the world naturally thought of him as Monk Tang.

      If one wanted to be a king, one had to correct their own weakness. They had to remain calm and collected, be decisive and capable when doing things, and listen to the opinions of wise warriors when facing big matters. Chen Ling was secretly vigilant in his heart as he warned himself.

      I'll do it tonight. It looks like I really have to harden my heart and not be moved by Ji Nu's tenderness …

      As Chen Ling thought about this, he couldn't help but form another thought: Young Master Wei doesn't set up a feast in the mansion, but in Fragrant Sky Tower. Could it be to test me? Or should we let all of the officials know about our relationship, or deliberately avoid the banquet within the mansion, placing our relationship at a delicate edge and allowing his attitude to change as he pleases?

      The situation seemed to become more and more complicated. It was a pity that there were no wise men around to analyze things for him. Everything had to be analyzed and decided by himself.

      Chen Ling thought of Shang Fangjun, Pang Huai, Zhu Zeyao and the others, who had already returned from the front lines, and had joined the army as their aides and advisers, as well as other military affairs officers. Fan Ju and the others who were by his side had stayed in the Yan Nation, so it was time to transfer Shang Fangjun and the others over to his side and advise him.

      At this moment, a guard reported from outside the room, Reporting to the Young Master, Lord Zheng Anping is asking for an audience.

      He must have come to bring me to the banquet. Luckily, there's still a friend who knows me, so I can pass on some news.

      Chen Ling's heart moved, and said: Please wait in the main hall, I will be there shortly.

      CHAPTER 505 - HEAVEN FRAGRANT RESTAURANT

      Chen Ling finished dressing himself and walked out of the bedroom to the living room in the front yard. Zheng Anping was waiting in the hall, seeing him enter, he stood up and cupped his hands: "Lieutenant General Chen, hehe, he should be called General Chen.

      Zheng Anping had a good relationship with him, so there was no formality in his words. He directly congratulated him with a smile, and there was no falsehood in his words.

      Chen Ling smiled slightly and said: The greater the official's power, the greater the pressure. I, your brother, am trapped in a quagmire and can't extricate myself anymore.

      Zheng Anping laughed. You are lucky to be here. Brother, I have been an official in Dazhuang for twenty years, and yet I am still an ordinary official. For the sake of His Highness, I have to do some small matters.

      Chen Ling went forward to chat with him and probed: Who did the Second Prince invite for the banquet tonight? Why are they not at the house of the Marquis but instead at the Fragrant Sky Tower? Could it be that they are going to eat flower wine?

      Zheng Anping lowered his voice and said, We have invited Young Mansion Zhang Shou, Nine Ministers's Lieutenant Tian Yulong, Grand Commandant's Palace Head Shi Wei Ao, the Commander of the Sixth Guard Battalion, Ximen Qiu, the General Dong Zhiqi who is stationed at the east of the river, as well as a few old noble elders, young generals, and guests.

      Chen Ling said in an unexpected manner, With so many people, not only me, you can also rest assured.

      Zheng Anping said with a smile that was yet not a smile, Firstly, to welcome the Lieutenant General Chen, and secondly, to celebrate your promotion to the great general, and thirdly, to set off. Some of the lesser generals in the banquet will have to follow the Lieutenant General Chen to set off, they naturally have to express themselves, so that you don't have to give him anything when the time comes.

      Hmm? Chen Ling frowned: What do you mean?

      Zheng Anping's smile disappeared, and he spoke with a profound meaning in his words, "The Right Army's disciples who have been chosen by the King, are probably not less than a hundred thousand, the vice commander-in-chiefs, generals, deputy generals, Lieutenant s, countless number of Academy Officer s, the power to survive and kill all lies in your hands, the dangerous mission, the meritorious service, the late mission, etc. Isn't it still up to you?

      Chen Ling slowly nodded and understood that this was not all there was to it. It was all because of the complicated and complicated relationship between him and the Second Prince. He was the main character, the one who had gone to observe the situation, the one who had to observe the Second Prince's expression first.

      Brother Chen disciple, let's go, His Highness's carriage is already waiting outside the manor, let's go in it.

      Alright, Zheng, please!

      The two of them left the mansion and got on a carriage sent by the Second Prince. The interior of the carriage was wide, covered with blankets, and had a faint musky smell.

      Brother Brother Chen, Fan Ju and the others have given you so much trouble, I almost dragged you down, it's really such a shame, I didn't think that you would defend them, and take it all on your own, on behalf of Brother Fan and the others, I sincerely thank you!

      Zheng Anping stood in the car, clasping his hands and bowing respectfully.

      Chen Ling held onto his arm, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing, is not their fault in the first place. I also have a clear conscience, there's no need to thank me.

      Zheng Anping lowered his voice and said, Brother is a man of noble character and a man of integrity, worthy of us crossing swords. In the future, if brother Brother Chen has something to ask of him, he will definitely not back down.

      Chen Ling's heart moved. If he could get him to help the Marquis family, then even if he could do something to the Second Prince, even if he could reveal some inside information, it would count as him helping in a big way. Knowing himself and knowing his enemy, he would be able to prevent it in advance.

      There will be more times when I will need Zheng. You also know, I am currently surrounded on all sides by enemies, and although the Prime Minister is protecting me, it is a pity that I am sick, old and weak. I have to withdraw from the imperial government.

      Zheng Anping's eyes were filled with praise as he said in a low voice, Brother can clearly see your own situation. You can call yourself a wise man, and there are many young people who find it hard to reach that height at your age, but even with that achievement, you are still headstrong, arrogant, arrogant, and proud. In the end, you perished on the path of a genius.

      Chen Ling laughed bitterly: "Even if I could see it clearly, I still could not change the reality before me. The noble elders thought that I was not the descendant of an old noble clan, and that all the factions all thought that I was a newcomer who was being suppressed intentionally. Even if I tried to rope them in, it would be as a weapon, and only using them as a weapon.

      Zheng Anping hesitated for a moment and said, Zheng has a few words, do you think it's appropriate to say them?

      Chen Ling's eyes flashed, he thought that perhaps he had a plan to speak to him, and immediately put on a look of asking for guidance, and cupped his hands: Zheng has something to say, between you and I, we are friends, there is no need to be courteous.

      Zheng Anping nodded. He leaned over, placed his hands next to the other person's ears and whispered, If that's the case …

      After Chen Ling heard this, his eyes turned and he faintly smiled: Then it's done.

      The night sky was filled with stars, the night market of the streets was like a brocade, many shops had yet to close, and some restaurants and inns even had their lamps placed on them like day, as people flowed in and out of them like a stream.

      Fragrant Sky Tower, in particular, had its own lake in the bustling Inner River Street of the Great Liang Dynasty. The lake was surrounded by pine trees and camphor trees, facing a brothel.

      On the lake, there were hundreds of people fighting for a cruise and there were countless pleasure boats. There were many young and pretty women standing on the riverside, holding brocades in their hands and waving towards the pleasure boat. There were also many women standing at the head of the boats.

      This was an action that was recognized by the officials as one of the important sources of revenue. It was unlike Chen Ling's harmonious society, where this kind of thing could not be exposed to the public.

      Chen Ling and Zheng Anping alighted, and the guards stayed behind to guard the entrance, while the other six Guard Captain followed Chen Ling into the Fragrant Sky Tower, and took a table in the first floor main hall, waiting for Young Noble.

      The most luxurious private room in the Fragrant Sky Tower was set up by the Young Master Wei. After all, he had a noble position and power, a person who could call the wind and summon the rain in the Daliang City. He had to contend with the Crown Prince's Chamber, even though the boss behind the door, the Giant Jia Kong, was on his side, he did not dare to rashly provoke the Young Master Wei.

      Zheng Anping and Chen Ling lifted the curtains and entered the private room. Seeing the luxurious private room, the place was spacious, it was around the size of several houses, and there were three orderly rows of seats placed inside.

      The people sitting in the middle of the banquet were all important figures: Wu Ling Jun Wei Yu, Young Mansion Zhang Shou, Nine Ministers, Martial Lieutenant Tian Yulong, Grand Commandant Palace's Elder Shi Wei Ao, the Commander of the Sixth Guard Battalion, General Dong Zhiqi who was stationed at the east side of the river, Grand Swordsman Zhou Huaiying, a few aristocrats and elders. They were all chatting and laughing beside the Young Master Wei, and the one who was vacant beside it, was precisely for Chen Ling.

      The other young generals, and some of the famous strategists and foreign delegates in the marquis' residence all had their own small seats, with their positions clearly defined.

      When everyone saw Chen Ling entering the room, the Young Master Wei stood up to welcome him. When
