In the Great Qin Dynasty, I, the Unruly Commander, begin by dual-cultivating with Yan Ling Ji.

Teasing Ji Ruxue every day seems to have become a regular activity for Ying Ziqing.

He sensed Ji Ruxue running downstairs, chuckled softly, then focused his mind and entered the fishing pond.

After the last forced Red Lotus, the system rewarded me with three fishing attempts.

Now that I have nothing to do, I'll use it all at once.

He silently said to himself, "Start fishing."

Then the system's cold, mechanical voice rang in his mind:

"You have obtained a Valentino fishnet stocking, which has been stored in your system space."

Ying Ziqing was speechless. He knew he wouldn't get anything too good on the first try, but he could save this one for Ji Ruxue and let her wear it sometime.

Then,

"You have acquired the spear master Qingniao from Snow Swordsman, who can be summoned at any time."

Ying Ziqing was quite impressed by this Qingniao. As a guardian of Xu Fengnian, Qingniao's spear skills were unparalleled, and given time, she would surely surpass her father, the Spear Saint.

Although Ying Ziqing is not short of martial arts masters around her now, she would be even better if she had more people like Qingniao who are both beautiful and highly skilled in martial arts.

He then turned his attention to that last fishing trip.

"You have acquired Li Siyuan, the master of Tongwen Hall. You may summon him at any time."

A glint of light flashed in Ying Ziqing's eyes. Li Siyuan, the villain who survived to the end in Bad Guys, was someone who almost ascended the throne in the sixth season. He was a patient and ruthless person.

While Yuan Tiangang was still alive, he secretly developed his power, then killed Li Keyong and took control of the Central Plains. He can be called a cunning and ruthless hero in a chaotic era.

He held his own against two opponents in the end, although he ultimately lost to the main characters, but the protagonist's halo played a part in that.

This person's strategies and cunning are both top-notch. This is the first time he has successfully recruited such a person. If used well, he can be a great help to Ying Ziqing.

As soon as Ying Ziqing had a thought, the heavily pregnant Li Siyuan appeared in front of her.

He bowed and said:

"Li Siyuan greets the Commander-in-Chief."

"Get up."

Ying Ziqing glanced at Li Siyuan's inner strength. The one she summoned at this moment was Li Siyuan, who had already fused the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique and the Supreme Sacred Universe Technique. His strength had reached the mid-stage of the True Spirit realm.

Of course, compared to his martial prowess, Ying Ziqing valued his wisdom even more.

"Li Siyuan, I'll give you ten thousand taels of gold and five hundred followers. Can you incite discord between the ruler and his ministers within the Zhao state, preventing them from launching an attack?"

Li Siyuan did not immediately agree, but pondered for a moment before cupping his hands and saying:

"Your subordinate will certainly not fail in your mission."

"Go down."

Ying Ziqing was quite confident in Li Siyuan's abilities.

Ying'er gently pushed open the door and walked in, kneeling beside Ying Ziqing and softly saying:

"General, the branch headquarters has determined that the assassin who tried to kill Wei Ji may have come from the Wei King's palace."

"Oh? This is the work of the King of Wei. Why would he send someone to assassinate the descendants of meritorious officials?"

"According to the secrets that the branch found in the palace, it is rumored that the Azure Dragon Treasure Box of Wei has gone missing, and it is very likely that Lord Xinling stole it back then."

The treasure box is likely currently in the Wei residence. King Wei, mindful of Lord Xinling's prestige in the army, is hesitant to conduct a forced search and has resorted to this tactic.

Ying Ziqing nodded slightly, "Interesting..."

He was quite interested in the secrets of the Azure Dragon's Seven Constellations...

In the Wei residence,

Inside a secret room hidden beneath the courtyard,

Wei An, the head of the Wei family, was reporting to a hunched, dark figure:

"The King of Wei has sent assassins to kill Ji'er. Should we respond?"

"He finally found out..." A hoarse, deep voice echoed in the darkness.

How well have we built up our strength?

Wei An hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"One-fifth of Wei's soldiers are under our control, the King of Wei controls two-fifths, and the remaining two-fifths are controlled by various nobles."

They won't take any action unless we offer sufficiently enticing benefits.

"It seems we can no longer focus our attention on Wei; perhaps we should look beyond Wei."

"what do you mean……"

"Never mind, I haven't figured it out yet... Have you investigated that Minister Hou? Does he have someone backing him?"

"No, the facts are exactly as he said."

"Is there no problem... Never mind, it's not important. Protect Ji'er, she's our most crucial step."

As for the Wei King's palace... do not act rashly for now; remain calm and wait for all changes to occur.

"As ordered."

After Wei An left the secret chamber, a pair of eyes gleaming with a dark purple light opened, and a hoarse voice murmured to itself:

“Wei Zeng…you owe me all of this…one day, you will pay the price for that…that day is not far off…”

Inside the Ink Shadow Pavilion, Ying Ziqing raised her hand and pushed open the door.

Upon seeing Ying Ziqing, Ji Ruxue, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, put down the Suxin Sword in her hand.

He said in an annoyed tone:

"What's the matter with me?"

"What kind of attitude is this? Is this how you should treat me? Be careful, or I'll execute you on the spot!" Ying Ziqing pretended to scare Ji Ruxue.

"General, what do you need me for? Is this enough?" Ji Ruxue said irritably.

"Come with me for a walk."

"Oh."

Ying Ziqing stepped forward and put his arm around Ji Ruxue's waist. Ji Ruxue struggled for a moment but then gave up and let Ying Ziqing carry her downstairs.

on the street,

Ying Ziqing looked relaxed and casual, while Ji Ruxue, whom he was holding, was somewhat stiff.

The handsome Ying Ziqing had already attracted many flirtatious glances and alluring looks on the street.

"See? There are thousands of women in this city, but I only dote on you. Are you still not satisfied?"

Ji Ruxue pouted disdainfully. No one would believe his nonsense. She had more lovers in Xianyang than she could count on two hands.

She didn't believe he would dote on her alone; Ji Ruxue would never fall into the trap of sweet words.

Just as Ji Ruxue was lost in thought, a piece of glutinous rice cake was suddenly stuffed into her slightly open mouth.

Ji Ruxue's rosy face was stuffed full, and she looked up at Ying Ziqing, who had a smile on his face.

Just as I was about to say something, I choked on the glutinous rice flour that had slipped down my throat.

"Cough cough cough..."

Seeing Ji Ruxue's embarrassed face, Ying Ziqing revealed a smug smile.

"Smile more. Your cold face is making me unhappy," Ying Ziqing teased with a smile.

"???"

Ji Ruxue pouted. She decided that she would not say a word to Ying Ziqing from now on. Anyway, he wouldn't do anything excessive since they were on the street.

That's all for today's update. Mycoplasma pneumonia is really bad lately, guys take care of yourselves. By the way, could you please give me a free little gift? (?＞?＜)
