Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

This time the victim seemed to have someone close to him, and he ran away after saying a few harsh words.

Su Jin was not afraid at all: "Welcome to find me at Black Ice Terrace." He walked back leisurely.

Seeing Wanxi's face flushed slightly, Su Jin sighed about today's harvest and quoted "There is a Dead Deer in the Wild" from "The Book of Songs" to talk about the traditions of ancient festivals.

The next day

When Su Jin was still unsatisfied, Wan Xi glanced at him and said resentfully, "It's better not to make a big fuss. You're going to hurt someone quite a bit."

"How is this a bad thing? I'm just upholding justice and innocence, and upholding righteousness." Su Jin refuted righteously.

"Then why did you go to find that woman by yourself before?" Wan Xi asked.

"That's purely for gathering intelligence," Su Jin explained, a sly glint in his eyes.

**REWRITTEN VERSION**

His old face flushed, and he hurriedly defended himself: "I just wanted to talk to her about literature and art, purely for elegant topics, how could I be like those people?"

"stop!"

"It's just the two of them!"

"Finally found you."

"on!"

A group of aggressive people rushed towards them.

Before the other two could react, they surrounded them.

"Is it Master Zhao from the Black Ice Terrace?"

"You're the one who messed up my business, aren't you?"

"Aren't you good at speaking? What else do you want to say now?" A familiar person shouted angrily and reached out to grab **'s collar.

"How dare you!" another man shouted. "I work for the Imperial Household Department and have never met that person from the Black Ice Terrace. What are your intentions in intercepting us for no reason?"

** dodged a step and warned sternly: "Bold madman..."

The other party refused to give in: "No matter how you change your appearance, I can recognize you."

"Don't worry about who he is, just give me—"

Before he could finish, ** raised his arms and shouted, "Where are the guards?"

The surrounding soldiers immediately took action after hearing the order, "Don't move!" Dozens of spies armed with sharp blades quickly gathered together, each aiming at the opponent's vital parts.

The leader was stunned for a moment, and saw the cold gleam of the equipment on these people's bodies, which were obviously combat-grade weapons. "Hmm, what?"

"My family and I were enjoying the spring, and you provoked trouble without provocation. If you do not leave immediately, be prepared to face severe punishment under the law."

** narrowed his eyes and lectured seriously, with unquestionable deterrence.

The dandy young man was a little bewildered. The reputation of the ** had long been known throughout the government and the country, and he would not normally be so bored as to play a prank on others. But he vaguely remembered what had happened to him...

Just as he was hesitating, Ying Shiman and others came from a distance with a team of ceremonial guards.

**He was tall and strong, and he was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Ying Shiman quickly discovered his whereabouts and after a brief observation, she knew what he was.

**'s disappearance for a while didn't cause ** any trouble, which was puzzling. He said to everyone lightly, "This is just a misunderstanding. Next time, please identify yourself before speaking."

Seeing the royal formation, the young man acted more cautiously, "I was reckless for a moment and did misunderstand just now. There was a man who claimed to be the commander of the Black Ice Platform, so I mistook him for me. I beg for your understanding."

** nodded to signal the other party to leave, and the young man retreated immediately.

Ying Shiman then inquired about **'s whereabouts, "Why did you take so long to come back? Where have you been?"

Although she guessed that there must be something hidden, she still rolled her eyes playfully.

"Of course I went out to understand the people's sentiments. Although this festival is a joyous occasion, the government is lax in its administration. What I saw and heard is truly unacceptable."

Wang Zhiyin was skeptical, "What exactly is it that's so hard to accept?" She even jokingly asked, "Is there no girl trying to flirt with you?"

**With a face full of righteousness, he said, "Look at what kind of person I am!" He then went on to describe his deeds, "I also helped protect ** No [Too much sensitive content, unable to continue to output]

"Sir, there's no need to push us too hard."

"Each family can just send one representative."

The eldest grandson noticed that there were many women and children in the crowd, some still in their mothers' arms, looking frightened and cowering in fear from the commotion. A few braver children, however, looked curiously at the viewing platform.

The eldest grandson's eyes met those of a little boy. The boy's eyes were filled with childlike curiosity but also a hint of fear, which touched his compassion.

"Your Highness, you may not understand the deep meaning of this."

Meng Gong explained, "This method can not only demonstrate the strength of the country, but also deter the remaining people of the six kingdoms."

One day, a senior citizen invited the residents to observe a military exercise. Adults often frown upon such activities, but children, always filled with curiosity, quietly come to watch even when their parents try to stop them.

As this generation grows up, they gradually understand the meaning of this - there is no such rule anywhere else.

At this time, artillery roared and weapons demonstrations were being prepared for the people.

Standing by the guardrail, the eldest grandson looked down and suddenly noticed two figures nearby who seemed to be arguing.

"Mungan, what are you doing?"

"I originally asked you to guard the viewing platform passage, why are you next to Su Xin?"

"Master..." Meng Gan said aggrievedly.

Duke Meng scolded him for complaining so much. After all, His Majesty and important ministers were present, and assigning him the position of Junior Supervisor was a sign of respect. "Li Fuling, prepare to welcome the army."

The waiter brought the Emperor's order: "The time has come, let the Western Expedition Army enter."

Soon, the sound of neat marching steps was heard, flags were raised, and a team in black armor appeared in front of everyone. General Li Xin led the team on horseback, followed closely by elite cavalry.

Seeing all this, Changsun felt strange. The Qin army had always been strict and orderly. Even the well-trained Iron Eagle swordsmen couldn't achieve this level of consistency during a long march. "Your Highness, I have specially had Li Xin practice this repeatedly," Han Gong explained.

"It seems to be quite effective." Meng Tian then appeared and jokingly commented on the soldiers' demeanor.

"Minister of Justice, how do you know about military affairs?" ** said in a teasing tone.

Meng Yi looked displeased, but Ying Zheng stopped their argument. "I want to know, what's the point of practicing your steps? Is it just for looks?"

** explained that this was to unify clothing for identification and to emphasize the importance of marching formations in demonstrating national strength.

As the ** ceremony unfolded, the stark difference in treatment between the common people and the nobles became clear: ordinary people were brutally driven away by officials, while the nobles had unimpeded access; the garrison troops remained majestic and unmoved, becoming an important barrier to the safety of the capital. Everyone present witnessed the power and discipline of the Qin army and felt the determination of the coming prosperity.

The iron spine lightly hit the wooden shield, and a heavy and dull echo was heard.

"The mighty Qin rebuilt the country.

There will be no ceasefire until the blood has dried.

The mighty Qin Dynasty restored the country.

There will be no truce until the blood has been shed..."

Heroic, stirring songs echoed throughout Xianyang. A solemn silence fell over the entire city. The once bustling streets suddenly became hushed, as hundreds of thousands of civilians silently watched the advancing army, awe-inspiring by its momentum.

"This is..." Meng Yi couldn't help but look at the person next to him.

He knew these words came from the most bleak and humiliating period in the Qin Dynasty's history, the shame of a great nation a hundred years ago! No one had expected that the past would be brought up again at such an important ceremony today.

A complex expression crossed the emperor's face. In his ancestor's early years, Qin was weak and vulnerable, repeatedly humiliated and oppressed by the powerful states of China. For this reason, that great monarch had sworn an oath by cutting his finger and erected the Monument of National Humiliation to inspire him to govern the country.

Ying Zheng looked up at the sky and said, "I am right here. Who else can compete with me?"

The First Emperor sighed quietly, "Only by learning from history can we move forward. The Western Regions are still being harassed by foreign invaders. If this scourge is not eradicated, how can Great Qin find peace? Over the years, I and the other ministers have become complacent."

Everyone knelt and saluted in response: "Your Majesty, please do not be so modest." "How dare we slack off in the slightest?" "On this Western Expedition, Li Xin will live up to everyone's expectations." "Remember the national humiliation to help us move forward."

Seeing the people's expressions of awe and shock, Ying Zheng nodded in approval: "This is exactly the warrior I have been waiting for."

"This song is truly inspiring and boosts our military's prestige!" He tilted his head and asked, "Who wrote this song?"

All eyes turned to **: "I heard the old stories and was moved. I wanted to inspire the soldiers' morale, so I created this."

"Your Highness has meticulously polished it." ** replied calmly, "It's definitely not the work of one person."

Ying Zheng praised him, "You have good intentions. When Li Xin returns, I will reward him handsomely."

Meng Yi's expression suddenly changed. He was about to speak, but the other party had already been promoted to a high rank. If he was promoted to a higher rank because of such words...

Thinking of this, he turned to look at General Wang beside him for help, but the other party had no intention of stopping him, seemed not to care, and even seemed a little happy to see it happen.

Meng Yi secretly resented, "As an important official in the Ministry of War, you haven't fulfilled your duties. What's the point of keeping you here?"

The other generals thought about it again and again, and in the end no one was willing to offend the emperor's authority.

"That's the Firearms Battalion!" A cry of surprise rang out from the crowd. Heavy carriages carrying huge weapons passed by, making a creaking sound with every step.

Pulled by four powerful horses and aided by eight porters, the massive iron weapon exuded a majestic aura. The common people marveled at the power and destructive potential of these massive instruments. However, only a few insiders knew that the massive cannon on display was merely a show of force—it could not fire, merely a show of force to intimidate the enemy.

When the last few firearms carriages appeared one after another, the people were still fascinated by the scene.

"What is that long cylindrical thing?" asked a minister.

People nearby murmured that it might be a small, portable artillery piece. "I never thought they could use firearms like this." As the rocket troops passed the viewing platform, everyone was astonished: they carried launchers on their backs, but their actual combat capability was minimal—more than a hundred soldiers didn't even have a full box of ** ready.

Then a formation of flying kites passed by, attracting even more admiration.

"Look! These delicate little kites can actually be used as combat equipment!"
