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

With a single sword strike, the wind and clouds changed color, and the heavens and earth trembled! As if the entire world was about to be torn apart, the enormous sword light, carrying unparalleled pressure and momentum, slashed fiercely forward like a shooting star streaking across the sky.

In an instant, time seemed to stand still, and space itself distorted. This immense power was as heavy as a mountain and as violent as thunder, utterly impossible to resist. A deafening roar followed, and the already hollowed-out cave was cleaved in two!

The boulders atop the mountain were utterly vulnerable, shattering and flying into countless tiny particles that drifted through the air before turning into a cloud of dust.

At this moment, the warm, golden sunlight shone down from above, covering Ying Ziqing, who was holding the Dragon Sky, making him appear incomparably sacred and majestic, like a banished immortal descending to the mortal world.

Standing beside Ying Ziqing, Situ Wanli looked ahead and saw that the six elders of the Farmer's Clan were no longer there. Under this terrifying sword strike, turning into nothingness and dust was perhaps their destined fate.

The Dragon Sky Sword in Ying Ziqing's hand vanished without a trace. With an indifferent expression, Ying Ziqing waved his hand dismissively and then turned to walk outside.

With this matter settled, the farmers were no longer able to resist the bad guys.

Situ Wanli was eager to catch up with Ying Ziqing ahead, but just as he took a step, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart. This feeling made him stop involuntarily and look up at the broken mountaintop.

The moment his gaze fell upon what was above him, his pupils contracted sharply, as if he had witnessed something utterly astonishing! It turned out that the sky above the mountaintop had been cleaved in two completely different parts, as if by an invisible, sharp blade!

The dividing line was clearly visible, splitting the entire sky into two layers. The upper sky remained a clear, bright blue, bathed in sunshine; while the lower layer was shrouded in an eerie, dark red mist, giving it a sinister and terrifying feel. This strange and magnificent sight left Situ Wanli stunned, momentarily forgetting what he was supposed to be doing.

A moment later, he came to his senses and noticed that the back of his robe was soaked with cold sweat. He hurriedly ran towards the cave exit.

On the mountaintop,

Ying Ziqing stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the villages built by farmers at the foot of the mountain. His deep gaze seemed to contain unfathomable abysses, or perhaps the earth-shattering thunder that could shatter mountains and split the earth.

Behind him, Situ Wanli, with his head bowed and eyes lowered, walked slowly over with his hands clasped.

"Situ Wanli, I will give you one year to establish an invisible network within the military and political system of Chu. I will be informed of any unusual movements in Chu's military and political affairs immediately."

Furthermore, use your intellect to reap the harvest of grain and wealth from the people of Chu for me.

Is there a problem? "

Situ Wanli's face was solemn, and his bent waist was almost parallel to the ground.

"No problem, your subordinate will do everything in his power to clear obstacles for the commander-in-chief's campaign against the State of Chu!"

After Situ Wanli left,

Standing alone atop the mountain, overlooking the surrounding peaks, Ying Ziqing suddenly heard that long-lost mechanical notification sound...

[You have successfully tamed the farmer, rewarding you with 3 fishing attempts...]

——Dividing——Line——

drive--

On the plains outside Xianyang, a magnificent white horse galloped along the main road. The surrendered official sitting before Ying Ziqing excitedly raised his long, slender finger, pointing to the vast, faintly visible city walls ahead, and exclaimed:

"Finally back! I've been craving Dongcheng's mung bean cakes so much."

Ying Ziqing, a relaxed smile on his face, said with a hint of mystery:

"What's so special about mung bean cake? When we get back, I'll treat you to an unparalleled feast that you've never experienced before."

Surrendered subject: Your Majesty is just kidding O_o……

Although she tried to appear calm, her expectant eyes betrayed her.

An hour later,

Upon returning to his residence, Ying Ziqing first spent time with Yan Lingji and Yelü Zhiwu before summoning Jingxin Demon to his side.

"Mirror Heart Demon, go prepare five catties of beef brisket and three catties of beef chuck, and cut them all into thin slices."

Mirror Demon hesitated for a moment before saying, "General, you recently issued a law emphasizing the raising of draft cattle..."

Ying Ziqing turned her head and said expressionlessly:

Is it so hard to find an ox that has fallen to its death?

"Oh, no problem, General. I'll go find it right away."

Jingxinmo cursed himself inwardly for his momentary lapse of judgment, then quickly walked out.

Ying Ziqing looked at the empty mahogany table, raised her hand, and a brass hot pot appeared on the table. Several bowls filled with sesame sauce were placed around it.

Ying Ziqing's lips curled up slightly. "It's time to let the ancients experience the shock of hot pot."

As night fell, Ying Ziqing and the other women sat together, picking up a piece of tender, pink beef from the boiling pot and placing it in a bowl of sesame sauce. The sweet and savory sesame sauce soaked and coated the juicy beef.

The women, who were initially mindful of their image due to Ying Ziqing's presence, began to feast on the delicious hot pot after tasting its flavors.

Just as the group was enjoying their meal, Mirror Heart Demon suddenly strolled over to Ying Ziqing and whispered in her ear:

"General, news has come from the palace that Ying Zheng wishes to invite you to the palace for a discussion."

Ying Ziqing raised an eyebrow. Ying Zheng really knew how to pick his time. Well, he might as well go and see what Ying Zheng was waiting for him in the palace.

"Prepare the car."

"Yes, Commander..."

One person, one knife... ugh, one hit per person, just tap the yellowish-brown button O_o
