Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

"Okay! Sister, go ahead!"

"First of all, you should give your sister a ring as compensation, right?"

"Of course, I will make a unique ring for my sister. What about the other two things?"

"Where are the two things? Didn't you say three?"

Zhao Chen was stunned: "Sister, this is not shameless. Isn't making a ring a big deal?"

"Brother, what are you talking about? That's your compensation, how can it be considered one of the things?"

"Ah! What's the logic behind this? Are you playing word games with me?"

"Whatever you think, just remember this: you have to promise me three things."

"Alright, I admit it. As long as you don't get angry anymore, these three things are just three things!"

"It's settled then, hee!" Concubine Yan then let go of Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen finally escaped and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that it was getting late, after dinner was arranged, several people sat together.

"Brother, why did you give two rings to Zi Nu and the others? Was it just to make it easier for them to carry supplies when they go to Bai Yue?"

"Sister, can you tell me, did you place an informant next to Zi Nu and the others? Otherwise, how do you know so much about what just happened?"

"Brother, how can you say that? Would your sister do that?"

"How on earth did you know that I took the wrong ring? I didn't even notice it at the time. I just thought it was a little strange. If Xiaomeng and Sister Yueshen hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about it."

"Humph, you should have forgotten. You just picked up my sister's ring casually, what else can you remember? It seems that you don't care about my sister at all!"

"Well, that's impossible. I was so focused on Baiyue's affairs at the time that I took out two rings without paying attention. I didn't even see what the rings looked like."

"really?"

"Of course, I won't lie to you."

"Well, you naturally need someone to protect you when you leave the palace. Sister has been following you the whole time."

"I see. Then why didn't my sister stop it?"

"I wanted to see if you would react, but you didn't. By the time I was ready to make a move, it was too late. Zi Nu had already recognized her as its master. You don't know how angry I was at that time. I almost couldn't help but snatch the ring away on the spot."

"Well, that's my fault. I was a little distracted at the time and accidentally took the wrong one."

"Are you really distracted? How did you remember it? Is it because Princess Honglian agreed to your request? Speaking of which, what exactly did you ask Princess Honglian for that even Zi Nu, Han Fei, and the others reacted so strongly? Can you tell me?"

"There's no such thing as a request! Don't think too much, sister."

"Really? Then why are you in such a hurry to leave? Could it be..."

Yan Fei looked Zhao Chen up and down, especially... Zhao Chen's face turned very ugly.

Even Yueshen, Xiaomeng and Xiaoyi looked at Zhao Chen with strange eyes, as if they wanted to see through him.

"What are you looking at? I just asked Honglian to call me brother, but she refused. This request is definitely not what you think." Zhao Chen hurriedly explained.

"I can't stand such misunderstanding. I am a student with excellent character and academic performance!" Zhao Chen muttered.

"Hahahahahahaha!" The girls were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Zhao Chen looked at them, laughing so hard that they fell all over the place, with an unhappy look on his face.

Even Xiaomeng and Xiaoyi were laughing happily, which made Zhao Chen even more confused: What's so funny?

I just wanted Honglian to call me brother. Is it not okay just because I'm younger than her? This is too much.

Humph, sooner or later I will make you all call me brother, no, call me dad!!! Zhao Chen thought.

Seeing the girls laughing non-stop, he picked up a bun and took a bite out of it, deciding to ignore them.

This scene once again caused the girls to laugh.

At this moment, they truly felt that Zhao Chen was still a child. Finally, with the girls' kind words of persuasion, Zhao Chen reluctantly finished the dinner.

A few days later, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu quietly left Xianyang, carrying two storage rings filled with supplies and three thousand elite soldiers, and left Daqin, heading towards Baiyue through the secret passage of Shu.

Those soldiers all took strength pills and became very powerful. Each of them could withstand at least hundreds of enemies.

Zhao Chen also gave Wei Zhuang a special method for refining detoxification pills in order to guard against various poisonous insects and miasma in the Baiyue region.

It can be said that he has arranged all the important things for Han Fei and others. If they cannot gain a foothold in Baiyue, then his efforts will be in vain.

As for the unification of the Baiyue within five years, Zhao Chen could not give an accurate prediction, as the key lay in their own execution. As for the news of Han Fei's departure from Qin, no one knew about it except for some insiders.

In the Qin state, spring planting was in full swing. Every citizen had received their desired harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes. They reserved their most fertile land for these two crops, while continuing to grow traditional grain crops on the rest of their land.

Word of Qin's transformation quickly spread to neighboring states, and their peoples were filled with envy. Unfortunately, they didn't have any of these crops themselves. The other five states attempted to send people into Qin to steal them, but as long as they weren't doing it openly, Qin didn't take it too seriously. After all, these states would eventually become Qin's, so a few crops wouldn't be a big deal.

After completing spring plowing, Qin immediately launched military operations against Wei, Zhao, and Chu. With potatoes and sweet potatoes as logistical support, and the substantial capital generated by Zhao Chen's numerous industries, Qin had no financial concerns. With the increasing number of artillery, weapons, and mechanical birds, Qin's momentum was unstoppable, leaving the three kingdoms powerless to resist. Even Wei's armored soldiers pale in comparison to modern weaponry, and Zhao's Li Mu, despite his exceptional cunning, was helpless against firearms. Chu's Xiang clan, while formidable, suffered heavy losses before even a single charge against firearms.

Even more terrifying was the fact that each of Qin's ordinary soldiers seemed capable of defeating a hundred with immense strength, rendering even ordinary generals unable to match them. Such terrifying power filled Xiang Yan with despair, believing that Qin was simply too powerful to be stopped. He immediately arranged for the Xiang family to take the young Xiang Yu and flee Chu, hiding. He knew Chu's fall was inevitable, and the only thing left to do was to preserve their strength and hope for a future resurgence. However, he himself had little confidence in this. After all, Qin not only had Ying Zheng, but also had figures like Zhao Chen, younger and even more capable, leaving him feeling deeply powerless.

In just five months, Qin, fighting on three fronts, successfully conquered Wei, Zhao, and Chu. Thus, Qin Shi Huang finally realized his ancestors' long-cherished wish: to expand his territory eastward. His next task was to absorb the territories of the three kingdoms and then launch an offensive against Yan and Qi.

In just six months, the people of Qin had already welcomed their first harvest. While not as good as the meticulously cultivated Qin manors, the harvest, at best, yielded over twenty dan (approximately 20 dan) of grain, more than enough to make them extremely happy. Not to mention, they would also begin a second planting season before winter arrived. Despite official advice not to plant all land with potatoes and sweet potatoes, the people were already immersed in the joy of a bountiful harvest, cultivating as much land as possible and developing new land. In just six months, the amount of registered land doubled.

These achievements made King Ying Zheng of Qin very happy. This year's tax revenue has increased more than five times compared to last year, which he never dared to imagine. And all this is thanks to Zhao Chen's help.

Furthermore, the news of the conquest of the Three Kingdoms brought jubilation throughout the nation, and the people were filled with anticipation for a better life in the future. Just as Qin was busy uniting the Three Kingdoms, urgent news arrived from the border: the Xiongnu had unexpectedly invaded the border. Upon learning of this, Ying Zheng was furious.

Do you really think that the Qin Empire isn't taking action because it's afraid of you? It's simply because we're so busy unifying the world that we don't have the time to spare. I never thought you'd come to us.

Ying Zheng intended to send Meng Wu to lead an army of 100,000 to directly destroy the Xiongnu, but was dissuaded by Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen suggested that younger generations, such as Li Xin and Meng Tian, ​​lead the troops. In the end, Ying Zheng agreed with his opinion, believing that this would be a good opportunity for them to gain experience.

Clearly, neither Ying Zheng nor Zhao Chen took the Xiongnu seriously. Li Xin and Meng Tian were thrilled upon receiving Ying Zheng's order. Having longed for great achievements, they saw the impending unification of the six kingdoms and feared a future without wars to fight, which would see them lose their generalship. How could they not be delighted to lead troops against the Xiongnu? As they excitedly prepared to depart, Zhao Chen approached them, urging them to completely annihilate the Xiongnu. He outlined a strategy for a blitzkrieg and subjugation, promising only future blitzkrieg, and urged them to follow it, hoping to completely subjugate and assimilate the Xiongnu, rendering them extinct. While they didn't understand the prince's hatred for the Xiongnu, they took his orders seriously. Thus, the Xiongnu had no choice but to surrender.

Ying Zheng naturally knew about this, but he didn't interfere too much and even praised Zhao Chen's actions. In fact, he was a man of similar character, always wanting to resolve problems thoroughly and not burden future generations. Therefore, he was very satisfied with Zhao Chen's actions.

The Xiongnu incident was merely a brief interlude. Ying Zheng was still busy annexing the territories of Wei, Zhao, and Chu. The King of Yan was utterly terrified. In less than six months, Wei, Zhao, and Chu were successively annihilated by Qin. How could the tiny state of Yan withstand the might of the Qin army? The King of Yan wanted to surrender, but Yan Dan strenuously prevented him.

Yan Dan has gone a bit crazy now. He thought that escaping from Qin would give him freedom. However, his master, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, was raped by the Yin-Yang School, and he himself was tortured and nearly collapsed. He finally survived and became a new gentleman of the Mohist School.
