Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

For Ying Jing, Gan Luo was an unexpected gain.

However, he didn't mind spending a little more effort on this unexpected gain.

To achieve great things, it is certainly not enough for him to rely on himself alone.

Talent is very important.

"Let's skip Ganquan Palace for now and head to Qimeng Garden instead."

Ying Jing sat in the carriage and gave a brief instruction to the coachman and guards outside.

Taking Gan Luo to Ganquan Palace would certainly be inappropriate.

So, the philanthropist Jing Da thought of a good place.

Qimeng Garden, the largest brothel in Xianyang.

When a man is down on his luck, the best place to go is, of course, a brothel!

Gan Luo, a child prodigy, was expelled from the Prime Minister's residence. Having suffered such a great setback, he might very well have given up on himself.

It seems that the girls in Qimeng Garden can help him cheer up quickly.

Ying Jing went to great lengths for Gan Luo.

That's right! It was all for Gan Luo!

Lord Changxin has absolutely no interest in the girls in Qimeng Garden...?

"Qi...Qi Dream Garden!"

Gan Luo's speech was already somewhat incoherent.

Her still somewhat immature and youthful face flushed red with embarrassment.

Although he was young, he had clearly heard of the famous Dream Garden long ago.

"No need to worry too much, we just need to find a place to discuss this mission to the State of Zhao."

Ying Jing spoke calmly, interrupting Gan Luo's doubts.

Qimeng Garden is located in the south of Xianyang City, not far from Xianyang Palace.

Although it was a place of pleasure, Qimengyuan had a very high level of style, with luxurious yet elegant architecture.

With its upturned eaves and carved beams, every detail exudes exquisite craftsmanship and sophistication.

The courtyards are arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern, with small bridges, flowing water, and winding paths leading to secluded spots.

This place has always only received high-ranking officials and nobles from various countries.

Moreover, the girls inside were all virgins who sold their art but not their bodies.

If you really like a girl and want to have her, then you have no choice but to redeem her and take her away.

Actually, this wasn't Ying Jing's first time visiting Qimeng Garden. It's just that he came here last time under the pretext of broadening his experience, when he was only ten years old.

The embroiderer kept a close eye on him the whole time!

Even watching the dancing wasn't enjoyable, let alone any intimate contact.

However, his elder brother, Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, would visit Qimeng Garden at the end of each month and would occasionally redeem a few children to bring back to his residence.

This is why Chang'an Jun Chengjiao was extremely popular among the girls in Qimeng Garden.

After all, in this chaotic world, being able to follow a prince of Qin was already a great blessing for them.

"Your Majesty, perhaps we should find another place?"

In the courtyard of Qimeng Garden, Gan Luo's face had turned a deep purplish-red.

Here, girls dressed in gorgeous clothes and veils occasionally walk by.

This was a bit too stimulating and beyond Gan Luo's capabilities.

"Since we're already here, why bother changing?"

Ying Jing did not accept the suggestion, but simply waved to a maid and showed her the jade pendant hanging from his waist.

Upon seeing the jade pendant that Ying Jing displayed, her expression changed slightly, and she immediately bowed respectfully: "Young Master, please give your orders."

The maid's body was covered by a light veil, and as she bowed, glimpses of her fair skin were revealed.

However, Ying Jing had been spending many years with Zhao Ji, the embroiderer, and had long since become immune to this.

He didn't look to the side, but simply spoke.

"Give us the quietest private room."

After saying that, Lord Changxin looked at Gan Luo again: "In addition, my little brother here is in a bad mood, so arrange for two understanding girls to cheer him up."

This is such a great benefit for the philanthropist Jing!

All the talented people in the world should be placed in my jar!

Gan Luo was already so embarrassed that he didn't know where to stand, his face as red as a monkey's bottom.

"No, no need..."

In this state, there is not a trace of the arrogance and haughtiness of the Yin Yang School's Star Soul.

It's a pity we didn't bring an artist, otherwise the philanthropist Jing would definitely have recorded this scene.

If Gan Luo really becomes the Star Soul of the Yin Yang School in the future, take out this painting and let him see his past innocence!

In the end, Gan Luo did not accept Jing Dashan's kind offer.

There's nothing we can do; he's still a little too young.

The twelve-year-old prodigy ultimately failed to appreciate the kindness of his older sister.

Then Ying Jing will have to bear the consequences!

Having finally gotten rid of the embroiderer by his side, he started to let loose.

Even though they are still young, they shouldn't do anything bad.

It might not be bad to have two beautiful women around to please the eye.

No, two are still not enough!

"You guys are the best..."

Before Ying Jing could finish speaking, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure out of the corner of his eye.

"Let's add that young lady to the list!"

In the private room of Qimeng Garden.

"Please rest assured, Lord Changxin."

"King Yan of Zhao married a courtesan as his queen and indulged in sensual pleasures in the harem, which shows his incompetence and lack of restraint."

"If Yan and Qin each station 100,000 troops on the border of Zhao, Gan Luo is confident that he can persuade the King of Zhao to cede territory to make peace!"

Accompanied by the elegant flute music, Gan Luo's mood seemed to have finally calmed down completely.

He spoke fluently and confidently.

Lord Changxin, standing to the side, smiled and occasionally sipped the wine offered by the beauty on his left and took a bite of the fruit handed to him by the beauty on his right.

But his eyes kept lingering on a beautiful woman playing the flute in front of him.

She stood against the wall in the private room, her long hair cascading down her back, her eyebrows and eyes like painted landscapes, her bright eyes like autumn water, her snow-white skin contrasting sharply with the black cat on her shoulder.

Unlike the other beauties in the Dream Garden, this woman playing the flute was completely free of any trace of worldly dust, and her appearance was far superior.

However, Ying Jing didn't have much time to flirt with the beauty at the moment.

He had been listening to what Gan Luo had to say.

"The strength of the Qin army is known throughout the world. Coupled with the threat from the Yan state, using overwhelming force to intimidate others does indeed have a high chance of success."

Using overwhelming power to intimidate others has a style reminiscent of Legalism and is consistent with the Qin state's usual approach.

Ying Jing agreed with Gan Luo's statement.

"But that alone is not enough."

Taking another sip of wine, Ying Jing chuckled and said, "Though the city walls are fortified, it is difficult to prevent internal collapse."

"A powerful nation often unleashes even greater energy under external pressure."

"Strong cities are often breached from within."

Gan Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood Ying Jing's meaning.

"Does Lord Changxin mean... to win over the high-ranking officials of Zhao?"

Seemingly feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Ying Jing directly took the wine cup held by the beauty on his left and drank it all in one gulp.

He spoke softly, uttering only four words.

"Zhao Xiang, Guo Kai."

If you're going to be an envoy to the State of Zhao, you absolutely can't avoid Guo Kai.

This is an extraordinary person who single-handedly defeated two famous generals of the Warring States period, Lian Po and Li Mu.

The hidden fifth greatest general of the Warring States period!
