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

Korean Royal City, Xinzheng

Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi and a group of court officials stood at the city gate, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

At that moment, a low-key yet luxurious carriage slowly drove up.

It was Ying Ziqing's carriage and horses.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Xinzheng City. The Prime Minister opened his hands in a respectful bow and said in a respectful tone:

"The Qin envoy has arrived with great honor, but our Han state has failed to protect him and has not been able to welcome him properly. Please forgive us, Qin envoy."

"You're so polite, I don't know what to say."

Ying Ziqing stepped out of the carriage and spoke in a flippant tone.

Hearing Ying Ziqing's somewhat arrogant words, some of the ministers behind Zhang Kaidi already showed displeasure.

However, Zhang Kaidi said with a forced smile:

“We have failed to provide adequate hospitality and deserve to be reprimanded. My king has prepared fine wine and delicacies for the Qin envoy. Please, Qin envoy, proceed to the Zheng Palace.”

Ying Ziqing waved her hand, her sharp eyes fixed on Zhang Kaidi.

He thought to himself that Zhang Kaidi was flexible and shrewd, which explained why he could stand on equal footing with Ji Wuye in the Korean court.

He then smiled and said:

"Oh, no need. I can visit King Han after I've settled down in Xinzheng."

The smile on Zhang Kai's old face seemed to freeze. He had thought that as long as he was humble and subservient, he could control this hot-blooded young Qin envoy.

But he didn't expect that the king would not even take the banquet hosted by the king seriously.

One of the ministers behind him could no longer contain himself and stepped forward, pointing at Ying Ziqing and shouting sternly:

"Qin envoy, don't be ungrateful!"

Ying Ziqing turned to look at Han Chen, who had angrily rebuked him.

"Oh? So what if you don't know what's good for you?"

Even if King Han An himself came to invite me, I wouldn't go.

Ying Ziqing scoffed.

Ignoring the angry glares from the South Korean ministers, he turned and returned to his carriage.

"Mirror Heart Demon, go to Purple Orchid Pavilion."

"Yes, son."

The carriage passed the welcoming Han officials and slowly drove towards the city of Xinzheng.

Inside the carriage, Ying Ziqing heard the system's beautiful voice again:

"You declined the King of Han's invitation and gave the Han minister a hard time, so you rewarded him with a fishing trip."

Ying Ziqing did not use it immediately, but kept it for later.

Inside the carriage, Yan Lingji glanced through the window at the Korean ministers who were standing there, and asked in confusion:

"My lord, why don't we go to the banquet at the Han royal palace, and instead give those Han ministers a hard time?"

Ying Ziqing stroked Yan Lingji's smooth, black hair and said softly:

"The current situation in South Korea is one of sharp conflicts between civil and military officials, especially between Chancellor Jang Kai-ji and General Ji Mo-ye."

Now Zhang Kaidi has come in person to invite me on behalf of the King of Han, but he has been rebuffed and humiliated by me, causing the King of Han and the State of Han to lose face.

Do you think Ji Wuye might take this opportunity to attack Zhang Kaidi, using the King of Han to further weaken Zhang Kaidi's power?

This move will further destabilize the already fragile balance of power in the Korean court, which will greatly benefit me as the envoy from Qin to Han.

The exceptionally intelligent Yan Lingji quickly grasped the situation after Ying Ziqing's guidance, and she couldn't help but admire Ying Ziqing's skillful touch. However, her arrival in Xinzheng had already stirred up undercurrents in the Han court.

Yan Lingji looked at Ying Ziqing's chiseled profile and said softly:

"Young master is truly a prodigy..."

On the other side, at the gate of Xinzheng City, Zhang Kaidi could no longer save face. His expression turned extremely ugly, and he forcefully flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

The other ministers also looked at each other in bewilderment. One minister, with a worried expression, said:

"This Qin envoy did not accompany us to the palace to meet the king. What if he blames us for this?"

The other person sighed.

"For now, we can only follow the Prime Minister's arrangements."

"But the Prime Minister has already left..."

"..."

——Dividing——Line——

Ying Ziqing's carriage slowly came to a stop in front of a magnificent pavilion, with the three beautiful characters "Zilanxuan" engraved on the pavilion's plaque.

Ying Ziqing and Yan Lingji, whose face was covered by a black veil, got off the carriage, while Jing Xinmo led the carriage towards the stable.

At this moment, a beautiful woman dressed in a magnificent purple dress swayed her voluptuous and alluring figure as she walked out of the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

Her purple eyes smiled faintly, her thin lips pursed, and her mature and charming voice slowly spoke:

"I am deeply sorry that the Qin envoy has not been able to greet me properly at Zilan Pavilion. Please forgive me."

Yan Lingji snorted softly. For some reason, she had no liking for the purple-haired, purple-eyed woman in front of her.

Ying Ziqing looked at Zi Nu, who was even more charming and alluring than in the original anime, smiled slightly, and said:

"Miss Zi Nu is indeed as graceful as the rumors say. I wonder if the orchid wine at Zi Lan Xuan is as unforgettable and unforgettable as the rumors suggest."

Zi Nu gracefully bowed.

"I will certainly not disappoint you, young master. The wine is ready, please follow me."

Ying Ziqing turned to look at Yan Lingji.

Holding her small hand, I whispered in her ear:

"Go to your room and get some rest. You've had a long journey, so tonight..."

Yan Lingji's pretty face, hidden beneath the black veil, flushed red, and she hummed softly in a voice barely audible.

He hurriedly followed the maid to the room that had been arranged for him.

Watching Yan Lingji's somewhat hurried figure, Ying Ziqing shook his head and smiled, thinking to himself that he would have a good "heart-to-heart talk" with Yan Lingji tonight.

…………

General's Mansion,

A bewitching man dressed in black feathered robes suddenly appeared in the main hall. He was none other than Mo Ya, the leader of the Hundred Birds assassination organization under the Nightfall.

Facing General Ji Wuye, who sat at the head of the table drinking fine wine,

Mo Ya knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"Reporting to the General, the Qin envoy not only humiliated Zhang Kaidi, but also refused the King of Han's invitation to a banquet. Instead of staying at the official post station, he chose to stay at the Zilan Pavilion."

Ji Wuye downed the wine in one gulp, toying with the exquisite, luxurious wine cup in his large hand. After listening to Mo Ya's report,

Ji Wuye let out a hearty laugh. That old geezer had insisted on going to the city gate to greet the Qin envoy, only to be humiliated instead.

"Haha, this old geezer Zhang Kaidi has been humiliated and the King has been thoroughly slapped in the face. This Qin envoy is exactly what I wanted."

“Indeed, since the current situation has caused the King and the Kingdom of Han to lose face, the King will surely be furious. We should seize this opportunity to take a piece of his flesh.”

"General, should we take action against Zhang Kaidi's properties?" Mo Ya suggested.

"Well, let's take two places first, and then we'll see how the king treats that old man."

Mo Ya lowered his head and cupped his hands in greeting:

"As ordered, I will do it now."

After speaking, Mo Ya's body suddenly disappeared, transforming into countless black crows that flew out of the General's Mansion.

The soldiers guarding the entrance to the general's mansion saw many black crows fly by.

He cursed under his breath, "What a damn bad luck."
