Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 144 Bai Yifei, Dongjun Arrives

At the window of the Zilan Pavilion.

Ying Jing was still looking around, searching for his Red Lotus, and sighed helplessly.

Although he had just sent a telepathic message to Honglian, he only told her to act like a princess and not to argue with Gongsun Linglong.

After all, a master's tongue is the sharpest, and little Honglian definitely can't out-argue Gongsun Linglong.

But he never said to let Honglian arrest people directly!

"Honglian is unruly; please forgive her, Lord Changxin."

Han Fei smiled bitterly and drank a cup of wine.

From their position, they could see clearly what was happening below.

Although Han Fei couldn't hear what was being said below, his intelligence allowed him to roughly guess some of it.

Ying Jing gently shook his head.

Although Honglian's direct arrest was somewhat unexpected, it wasn't a big deal.

“This family descendant came all the way to Xinzheng just to cause me trouble. Now that Honglian is giving them some fun, it can be considered that she is standing up for me.”

This is Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea. As a princess, Honglian had a dispute with them, so it is reasonable for her to arrest people.

At most, it's because it happened in public, so the impact isn't very good. It might give Honglian a reputation for being arrogant.

But then again, Honglian's reputation wasn't exactly great in the past.

Ying Jing once praised Honglian for being gentle, kind, and generous in the eyes of the people... but those were just empty words, best taken with a grain of salt.

"The woman with Gongsun Linglong is the daughter of Gongsun Yu, the former general of the State of Wei."

In the corner of the attic, Wei Zhuang, holding Shark Tooth in his arms, suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

He also paid attention to Gongsun Linglong's group, and the gangs under his protection provided her with a lot of intelligence.

Ying Jing was, of course, even more aware of what Wei Zhuang had said.

The intelligence gathered by Luo Wang was far more detailed than what Wei Zhuang obtained by relying on a small gang.

Gongsun Li was not only the daughter of Gongsun Yu, the former general of Wei who died in battle, but she could also be considered a member of a famous family.

Because Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Long, the leader of the Ming family, are cousins.

Besides, Gongsun Li can also be vaguely associated with Guiguzi.

Each generation of Guigu had two disciples, one vertical and one horizontal, who competed with each other, and the one who remained in the end was the successor of Guigu.

But the one who fails... doesn't necessarily lose their life.

For example, Gongsun Yu was the one who failed among the two successors of Guiguzi in the previous generation.

So, by this calculation, Gongsun Li can be considered to have some connection with Guiguzi.

After all, Guigu is a "small sect" with only a few people, so it's not surprising that Wei Zhuang wanted to help her.

Before experiencing the Eating Tooth Prison, Wei Zhuang appeared cold, but his heart was actually warm.

"You want to help her?"

Ying Jing smiled faintly, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised.

Wei Zhuang looked up at Ying Jing, his deep eyes still sharp, but after being severely taught a lesson by Hei Bai Xuan Jian last time, he had now toned down his sharpness considerably.

He was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "Consider it a favor I owe you."

"It's a word."

Ying Jing smiled and agreed.

She never intended to do anything to Gongsun Li and the other woman.

Honglian's arbitrary arrests were ultimately untenable; at most, she would only be detained for a few days to vent her anger, and then Han Wang'an would release her once the Ming family intervened.

Ying Jing got this for free!

A favor from Wei Zhuang now means nothing to Ying Jing, but when he reaches his peak in the future... it doesn't seem to be of much use.

Ying Jing frowned, then quickly relaxed.

In any case, getting something for free is still very enjoyable and makes people feel happy.

"Are renowned experts really so comfortable sending only these two young girls to Xinzheng?"

Zi Nu did notice something strange.

These two little girls don't seem like the kind of girls who could have safely traveled all the way from Wei to Xinzheng.

"Of course I'm not at ease."

Ying Jing spoke with a light laugh.

"The head of the famous family, Gongsun Long, has been secretly following behind all along."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang's face immediately darkened.

Gongsun Long was another member of the School of Names, after Huizi, who could be addressed as a "Master".

Although famous figures are often considered to be nothing more than talkers, their sophistry is quite controversial.

But regardless of which school it is, anyone who can achieve the level of Gongsun Long is naturally no ordinary person.

"Contracts differ, hardness and whiteness are separated, a white horse is not a horse... Many of the views of the famous scholars are criticized as sophistry, but Gongsun Long explored the concepts and attributes of heaven and earth and all things, and his realm was already unfathomable."

As Wei Zhuang spoke, his face darkened even further.

With Gongsun Long by his side, there's no need for him to owe anyone favors!

Han Fei chuckled and said, "He has exhausted the knowledge of a hundred schools of thought and exhausted the debates of many mouths. My teacher does not like Gongsun Longzi, but he admires his abilities. If Gongsun Longzi were to step forward, my father would definitely release him."

"After all, this little matter between Honglian and the successor of a famous family is nothing."

Wei Zhuang's face was so black that even Shark Tooth couldn't hide it.

Did he get a favor for free?

……

Streets of Xinzheng.

Honglian looked around, but ultimately failed to find Ying Jing.

In fact, Ying Jing wanted to invite him to Zilan Pavilion to catch up and rekindle their relationship, since they hadn't seen each other for quite some time.

However, Han Fei was gritting his teeth and threatening to kill himself, so Ying Jing let him go.

The meat on the cutting board, the cooked duck, can't escape!

Anyway, he always has beautiful women around him, so there's no need to rush this.

stomping on...

Tread...  

In the distance, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves could be heard.

A chill seemed to rise from nowhere, and the temperature in the entire town of Xinzheng appeared to have dropped considerably.

Clad in silver-white armor, their imposing figures rode on tall, powerful horses, like a chilling, forbidden torrent.

Right in front of this "torrent," atop a tall white horse, Bai Yifei wore a blood-red robe over silver-black armor.

His hair was as white as snow, and his skin was deathly pale.

Even people who have been dead for three days don't have such strangely pale skin as Bai Yifei!

"Princess Honglian, you are blocking my way, please move aside."

Bai Yifei's gaze was icy as he indifferently surveyed Honglian, Gongsun Linglong, and Gongsun Li, who had already been captured by the guards.

Although he used the word "please," his tone lacked any respect whatsoever.

"you……"

Honglian puffed out her cheeks, somewhat annoyed, but ultimately didn't have the courage to rebuke her.

In terms of status, Honglian is fully qualified.

However, the cold aura that Bai Yifei exuded was so strong that the girl was somewhat unable to resist it.

In the distance, on the eaves of an inn.

The two girls, one in a black dress and the other in a white dress, clicked their tongues in slight astonishment: "Such a powerful aura! This person has actually activated his bloodline technique to this extent!"

Behind the two, a woman in a golden robe, exuding an air of elegance and nobility, calmly gazed ahead.

"The creation of Yin and Yang, and the cycle of the Five Virtues, constitute the Great Way. Minor techniques related to bloodlines need not be taken seriously."

As she spoke, she placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and in each of her eyes appeared a golden crow, wings outstretched as if about to take flight.

"I can already sense it, the aura of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations is nearby..."
