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

A riverside on the outskirts of a city in South Korea.

After lighting a fire and preparing the pheasants he had just hunted, Jingxin Demon retreated to the side.

Ying Ziqing rolled up his somewhat loose long sleeves and began grilling, while Yan Lingji sat on a small wooden stool watching Ying Ziqing grill.

Perhaps because it's a fictional world, all sorts of seasonings are available in this era.

Following her memories from her previous life, Ying Ziqing sprinkled chili powder and cumin seeds on the roast chicken while constantly turning it over.

The chicken fat was quickly rendered out by the high temperature, spreading a fragrant aroma of cumin and chili.

Yan Lingji sniffed, her beautiful eyes gazing curiously at Ying Ziqing, who was intently grilling the meat.

Isn't it said that a gentleman keeps away from the kitchen? Why would someone of such high status grill himself?

"Mmm, it smells so good~" Yan Lingji said softly, smelling the aroma of roasted chicken.

Ying Ziqing looked at the chicken, which was roasted to a tempting golden-brown color.

He then took down a roasted chicken and handed it to Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji took it, looked at the tempting roast chicken, and took a bite.

The chicken juices, chili, and cumin flavors spread across the taste buds.

Yan Lingji's eyes seemed to light up, and she no longer cared about her image, taking another bite, a joyful expression appearing on her pretty face.

Seeing the usually reserved and charming Yan Lingji now acting like a little girl, Ying Ziqing smiled. This was the real Yan Lingji.

Ying Ziqing then handed another roast chicken to Jing Xinmo, who hurriedly took it with both hands.

"Thank you, sir."

Ying Ziqing waved her hand, took a roasted chicken from the fire, tore off a steaming leg, and took a bite.

Indeed, the skills from her previous life are still there. Ying Ziqing in her previous life was passionate about outdoor barbecues, so grilling a few chickens was a piece of cake for her.

At this time,

A young man dressed in purple led a white horse out of the woods.

It was Han Fei, who had just returned from his studies at Xiaoshengxianzhuang and was eager to show off his skills in Korea.

He looked at Ying Ziqing, who sat by the fire, exuding an air of grandeur, and stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting, saying:

"Young master, my name is Han Fei. I was passing by when I was attracted by the roast chicken you were making. Would you be so kind as to allow me to have a bite?"

A slight smile curved Ying Ziqing's lips.

He smiled slightly and said:

"Are you Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Han?"

Han Fei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "That is indeed me."

Ying Ziqing raised her hand,

The Mirror Heart Demon, who was standing nearby, understood and handed the last roasted chicken from the fire to Han Fei.

Looking at the golden-brown, tempting roasted chicken in his hand, Han Fei bowed to Ying Ziqing.

"Thank you very much, young master. I am extremely grateful."

"It's alright. Brother Han and I hit it off immediately. Why don't you sit down and chat?"

Han Fei laughed heartily, his expression shifting from reserved to relaxed, and he sat down casually on the rock next to Ying Ziqing.

Having been hungry for a long time, he immediately began to eat heartily.

In no time, only the bones remained of the whole roasted chicken.

Han Fei took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

He bowed to Ying Ziqing and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, young master. I was not yet aware of your honorable name."

"Ying Ziqing."

“Brother Ziqing, if you encounter trouble in Xinzheng in the future, you are welcome to come to me. Although I am not very talented, I can still help you.”

"Oh, Brother Han, how did you know I would be going to Xinzheng?"

Han Fei chuckled lightly and said confidently:

"Brother Ziqing is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. Moreover, he has the surname Ying, which is the royal surname of the Qin state. I have heard that the King of Qin sent the Third Prince of Qin as an envoy to the State of Han a few days ago. I suppose Brother Ziqing must be that Third Prince of Qin."

Listening to Han Fei's analysis, Ying Ziqing clapped his hands, "Indeed, I have long heard of Young Master Han Fei's extraordinary wisdom, and seeing him today, I can confirm it is no exaggeration."

Han Fei waved his hand dismissively and hurriedly said, "Brother Ziqing, please don't tease me. I am just a novice scholar, how can I be worthy of Your Highness's high praise?"

Ying Ziqing patted Han Fei on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Han, don't be modest. I have high hopes for your future. I just have a question for you."

"Brother Ziqing, please ask whatever you want. I will not necessarily answer everything I know."

Ying Ziqing stared at Han Fei with eyes as bright as stars and asked:

"Brother Han, what is your purpose in returning to South Korea this time?"

Han Fei did not hesitate and said decisively,

"To enrich the country, strengthen the military, ensure the safety of the people, and defend the territory."

Upon hearing Han Fei's answer, Ying Ziqing shook her head and smiled.

"Brother Han, are you aware of the current state of affairs in the world?"

"Naturally, although the world is divided into seven parts, the Qin state is already powerful and has the appearance of dominating the west and eyeing the other six states. The other six states are constantly in conflict and war, and the people are suffering."

"Brother Han, since you know the suffering of the people, why do you insist on going against the tide?"

Han Fei looked at Ying Ziqing in confusion.

"Brother Ziqing, why do you say that?"

Ying Ziqing said solemnly, "From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, more than a hundred years of war have made the people suffer and live in misery."

In this cannibalistic world, all people want is to survive. They yearn for peace and a stable life.

And all of this is predicated on—universal harmony!

Hearing Ying Ziqing's words, Han Fei remained silent, the four words "universal harmony" echoing in his mind like a resounding bell.

Ying Ziqing continued, "In the world today, the only country that truly has the potential to unify the world is the Qin state."

The unification of the world by the Qin state was an inevitable trend, and no one person or state could stop it.

Those who attempt to defy the tide will be crushed under the wheels of fate.

Ying Ziqing's words were like a thunderclap, causing Han Fei's originally firm heart to waver.

He originally thought that as long as he returned to South Korea to eliminate the old problems and reform the country, he could make South Korea strong and capable of protecting itself.

He hadn't thought about what would happen next, nor did he know if that would truly make South Korea better or make the lives of its people more stable.

He had initially believed it, but now Ying Ziqing's words had shaken his resolve.

After a moment of silence, Han Fei stood up and bowed to Ying Ziqing.

Han Fei smiled wryly and said, "Brother Ziqing, I have learned a lot. When we meet again in Xinzheng, we will have another discussion. Goodbye, Brother Ziqing."

Ying Ziqing revealed an enigmatic smile and nodded slightly.

"Brother Han, see you again in Xinzheng."

Ying Ziqing said these words to Han Fei simply to plant a seed in his heart.

He knew that his words wouldn't be enough to shake Han Fei's resolve regarding his principles; at most, they would make him reconsider what Ying Ziqing had said, but that would be enough.

Watching Han Fei's retreating figure, Ying Ziqing stood up, brushed the dust off her clothes, and said to Jingxinmo and Yanlingji beside her:

"It's time for us to set off too."

…………

Inside the carriage,

Yan Lingji gazed at Ying Ziqing's handsome profile, her alluring eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Young master, may I ask you the question I just asked?"

Tell me about it.

"What are your intentions and goals, young master?"

Ying Ziqing pondered for a moment, then slowly said,

"The world...a world of great harmony."

"Heh, I was just kidding..."
