Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

Chapter 221 "Remember what you promised your uncle?"

Li Ming couldn't help but laugh, "Salt shortage? Fusu lost the bet with me, so he put me in charge of salt administration. Isn't this just what he wants!"

"Is Lord Chen quite satisfied with the gift presented by my Lin family?" Li Ming said, "Any requests? This is an opportunity, please seize it."

Lin Zhenhuai knew that the other party was honest and did not dare to hide it anymore. He not only took out a huge amount of money, but also handed over the map and detailed information of the Shu-Shendu Road.

"We just want to ask for your mercy and give our Lin family a chance to live."

Li Ming understood his request: "This is understandable. The secret passage has made great contributions to the court."

Li Ming then announced that the case of shielding the criminal would not be pursued for the time being, and that they should quickly send the criminal away. "As for Zhao, I will try to make arrangements. I should be able to give him some face."

"As for blacksmithing, your family has been doing this for generations. Please continue to do it in the future, but you must also be vigilant. If the quality of the iron is not good, don't blame others if you can't sell it."

Lin Zhenhuai expressed deep gratitude to Li Ming. "Thank you for your grace, magistrate."

Li Ming said generously: "It's just a small matter. You have been tired from the journey. You might as well stay in Xianyang for a few days to rest." Lin Zhenhuai understood that the other party wanted to see him off, so he hurriedly said goodbye with his son.

"Father, is the matter resolved?" Lin Tianze asked impatiently.

"Isn't a promise from the monarch worth millions enough to be trusted?" Lin Tianze lamented that this huge fortune was only exchanged for a promise. "Years of savings, just wasted like this."

Li Ming looked at the thick gift list and thought about his next step.

"Have you made a fortune again?" Wang Jing asked. "Ten thousand gold, five hundred thousand strings of cash! Our Wang family has gone through so many hardships over the years and still hasn't been able to come up with that much money."

"These are just superficial figures. The real treasure is in that tome. Go and prepare the rangers for their departure."

After Li Ming continued to check the map and booklet, he found that there were many rare and precious goods among the gifts presented by the Zhuo family.

"It makes no difference whether you leave or stay in Qin. Sooner or later, you will be mine."

Li Ming sighed deeply. Power is indeed a man's best armor. "These once-famous figures are now nothing more than existences that can be crushed in my hands with a flick of the finger." Wang Zhiyin rushed in again and told him that Han Xin was arguing with a woman outside and wanted Li to go and watch.

"What kind of trouble has Han Xin gotten himself into?" Li Mingxian said calmly. "Han Xin is entangled with others, so he must have let them come to his house to seek revenge."

"That woman is making a scene outside. Should we go and take a look?"

"Ok."

As he walked outside, he heard the woman's loud, accusing voice. "Han Xin! If you're a man, give me an explanation!" The woman was clearly agitated.

"No one can leave without an explanation for what happened today. You said I shouldn't look for you anymore, but Shu Na..."

Li Ming listened for a while and sighed, "Let her make a fuss. This kind of family dispute is difficult to resolve."

Wang Zhiyin looked very excited and pulled Li Ming to see more of the excitement.

"If I don't let you in, you're really not going to come? There's no way in the world that makes sense!"

Shen Ruolan gestured to the guard at the door and secretly peeked in.

Lin Qiang frowned when he heard it.

I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect it to come back again.

"What do you want to say?"

Han Lei looked at the gate, fearing that he would be embarrassed if he was seen by someone he knew.

"It's simple, just marry me."

"We've already had physical contact and are quite close."

"The Liu family is definitely not an ordinary family. How could we allow you to be so treacherous?"

Liu Xintong held her chin high, as if she was sure that the other person could not escape from her control.

How naive!

Han Lei really pretended to be very convincing.

Although they had spent quite a bit of time together, she still hadn't discovered the other person's powerful background.

If you had made it clear earlier that your elder was a certain person, I'm afraid the Liu family would have treated you like a VIP.

How did it get to this point?

Fortunately, there is still time to make amends.

In Liu Xintong's eyes, Han Lei exudes unparalleled charm.

When the people around her heard her bold words, they all smiled with understanding.

It seems that these two people are going to reconcile and finally become a couple soon?

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to this."

It took Han Lei a long time to squeeze out these words.

"why?"

Liu Xintong was stunned for a moment, unable to believe her ears.

"Why don't you agree?"

"Han Lei, don't forget..."

Seeing that the situation was not right, an old housekeeper patted Shen Ruolan on the shoulder and said, "Get rid of her."

"clear."

Shen Ruolan originally wanted to watch the fun, but she obeyed the order and stood up.

On the other side, Liu Xintong stared at Han Lei like crazy.

"Explain it clearly!"

"Are you deaf?!"

She pushed Han Lei's shoulder hard.

"Hey."

Shen Ruolan was a little impatient and pushed the other person gently.

"Go away!"

Liu Xintong cursed angrily and waved it away like a mosquito.

How dare someone from the Wang family touch her?

Shen Ruolan immediately became furious and grabbed Liu Xintong and slapped her.

The crisp sound scared everyone.

Han Lei opened his mouth and stood there, not knowing what to say.

Liu Xintong covered her face and took a while to react.

"You actually hit me?"

Anger flashed in her eyes: "You dare to attack the Xianyang Liu family?!"

Shen Ruolan almost laughed out loud.

Everyone knows the big and powerful families in Xianyang, but no one has ever heard of a prominent family with the surname Liu.

Zhuo Xinghuai and his colleagues were busy unloading the goods and didn't notice the quarrel at first.

It was only when I saw Shen Ruolan taking action that I noticed what was happening here.

"Which family are you from?"

Liu Xintong covered her red face with her hands, her heart filled with fear and unwillingness.

"Don't say my young master has no interest in you. Even if he really marries you, you still have to call me aunt."

"What? Shouldn't I hit you?"

Han Lei lowered his head in embarrassment.

"I never change my name, I never change my surname. This is Prince Wang. You must have heard of him."

Prince Wang used to take pride in being a hero and doing good deeds, but now he no longer wreaks havoc in the martial arts world.

"Humph, I wish you had met me earlier."

She deliberately said loudly, "I love helping innocent people the most."

"Marquis Tongwu's daughter?"

"You are not afraid?"

"It's your bad luck to meet you today."

As she spoke, Shen Ruolan tried to grab Liu Xintong, but the latter hid behind Han Lei.

"Auntie, I was wrong!"

"Han Lei, please speak up for me!"

"Get out of the way!" "Who is your aunt?"

The Wang family has always been decisive and efficient in their work, never ambiguous.

Han Lei was in a dilemma and kept signaling Liu Xintong to run quickly.

Unfortunately, Shen Ruolan was quick enough to grab her sleeve.

"Even the Marquis of Tongwu cannot do whatever he wants."

"This is how the Chen family operates."

With the sound of cloth tearing, Han Lei saw that something was wrong and hurried forward to pull the two apart.

Liu Xintong was so scared that she ran away.

"Forget it, Auntie."

Han Lei stood in front of Shen Ruolan and begged.

"If you dare to come here again, I will break your legs!" She shouted at the speeding carriage.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the mansion and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

Han Lei sighed and followed.

When I returned to the gate, ** was already waiting there with a cold expression.

"Is it done?"

Shen Ruolan said proudly.

** Raise your hand and pat his head lightly.

"Remember next time, if someone asks you why you're so rude, tell them..."

"Prince Wang is always like this. If you are unhappy, you can only bear it."

Shen Ruolan was overjoyed after hearing this, "This is the truth."

** A word of advice

Li Zhiyuan nodded, his understanding for his son growing stronger. He understood that even if he didn't actively offend others, he wouldn't be treated well here. "This isn't a place to stay for long. We'll return as soon as we're done," he said. "Don't come to Xianyang unless necessary."

"Can we afford to provoke them if we can't hide?" Li Zhiyuan instructed his men to speed up the unloading process, appearing a little anxious.

In the meeting room, Lin Feng sat back down and carefully sorted out the treasure map and secret book. Han Cheng stood there for a long time before hesitating and speaking: "Uncle, Cheng today..."

"Cheng'er, how good are you at swimming?" Lin Feng suddenly changed the subject.

"You won't blame me, will you?" Han Cheng asked in surprise.

"What's so strange about that?" Lin Feng said calmly, "Love between men and women is fleeting and will only affect the progress of your career. Just remember that."

"Tell me about your swimming experience." Lin Feng continued to ask, with a cold expression as if he didn't mind.

Han Chengzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "I do know a little bit about swimming, I think."

"Then your next mission will be a tough one," Lin Feng said seriously. "I plan to have you embark on a giant ship at the end of the year, traveling via ** and ** to America for exploration. The voyage will be windy and rough, and your swimming skills won't be enough!"

Han Cheng immediately became alert: "Uncle, you want me to go out to sea?"

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded. "Practice makes perfect. Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books. I'm afraid keeping you by my side all the time will delay you. This voyage is sturdy, with a large number of artillery equipment, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

"It will take a year or two, or even longer, to return." Lin Feng continued pacing, thinking: "By the time you return, they'll have already established a firm foothold there. Then you'll lead your army westward, making unstoppable progress all the way to America, where you once were. Then you can naturally return to Daqin by ship."

Han Cheng understood a lot immediately, and said with sudden realization: "You mean, the earth under our feet is round. Although there are countless dangers and obstacles along the way, if there is someone in Daqin who can complete this great journey, it will be beyond my reach." He looked at his uncle with excitement in his eyes: "I am willing to go!" and saluted respectfully.

"Remember what you promised your uncle?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"I believe in my destiny and will definitely live up to your trust." Han Cheng agreed carefully and turned to leave. For something as important as this, he had to communicate with his family first so his mother could be mentally prepared.

Soon, Zhang Ya appeared from the corner and interrupted softly, "Why don't you go and gather people?" she asked dissatisfiedly.

"The road was muddy and my boots were new, so I asked someone to do it for me." Zhang Ya questioned Lin Feng's motive for sending Han Cheng out to sea. Seeing Lin Feng's anger, she joked and ran away.
