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

Nobles in all countries were extravagant, and their capitals were naturally filled with places of pleasure.

However, among the many pleasure quarters in Xinzheng, the capital of Han, Zilan Pavilion is the most unique.

Zilanxuan rose to prominence in a very short period of time and became sought after by many wealthy merchants and nobles.

Some nobles had once coveted Zilan Pavilion, but strangely, they all apologized shortly afterward and never dared to set foot there again.

Over time, the wealthy merchants and nobles of Xinzheng all tacitly accepted that there must be a powerful background behind Zilanxuan.

……

Zilan Pavilion is built by the water, facing north. Opening the windows reveals the street scene, and to the east is a lake.

Although it has four floors, only the first and second floors are open to the public.

Meanwhile, in a room in a corner on the second floor of Zilan Pavilion.

The owner of Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu, was leaning against the window, gazing at the street outside.

"He has already discovered us."

Her voice was elegant and melodious, completely different from when she was being insincere with guests.

"Very keen perception."

From behind, a man with gray hair spoke, his voice low and hoarse.

"Several sword intents are hidden around him, each one no less powerful than mine."

As she watched the young man below board the carriage, Zi Nu finally withdrew her gaze: "It seems that he is a very dangerous person."

Whether it is dangerous or not depends on his purpose.

The gray-haired man spoke again, his expression calm, the darkness in the corner adding to his profoundness.

"When Lord Changxin of Qin goes on a mission, he will certainly not come with goodwill."

Zi Nu seemed somewhat worried.

But the gray-haired man didn't seem to care.

"Forming alliances and plotting against each other, snatching chestnuts from the fire, and even malicious intent can be exploited."

"Just like when we took advantage of the greed and fear of those nobles to quickly establish the Purple Orchid Pavilion."

The wealthy merchants and nobles of Xinzheng all believed that Zilanxuan must have an immense background.

But in reality... they would never have imagined it.

Zilanxuan really had no background at the beginning.

Those greedy nobles who had designs on Zilan Pavilion would apologize and never set foot in Zilan Pavilion again, simply because a serrated longsword had once been pressed against their necks.

However, taking advantage of the outside world's misunderstandings, the owner of Zilanxuan skillfully channeled benefits and actually won over some nobles.

……

Xinzheng, the capital of Han, is a post station.

Although wars between countries were commonplace in this era, there were still special inns to receive envoys from other countries.

Moreover, in order not to lose face in front of envoys from other countries, each country put a lot of effort into the construction of its post stations.

While occupying a considerable area, the building exudes understated luxury and appears quite elegant.

"Lord Changxin, we have arrived at the inn. What do you think...?"

Ying Jing, who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, remained expressionless, but he had already heard the sounds coming from outside.

During this trip to South Korea, he was not accompanied by the usual harem of women, but only by Yan Lingji.

Hmm... I just wonder if I'll still be alone when I go back.

"Let's go and see how this inn in Korea differs from the one in Zhao."

Ying Jing gently raised his hand and patted the alluring beauty who was leaning against him and almost asleep.

At the same time, the other hand rose and lifted the curtain in front.

Ying Jing stepped out slowly, and before he could get off the carriage, a figure had already bowed deeply.

"The carriage is quite tall, so please be careful, Lord Changxin."

A slight, slanted smile involuntarily appeared on Ying Jing's lips.

Liu Yi, the Left Sima of the State of Han, was under the command of Ji Wuye.

To be able to achieve this level of accomplishment as the Left Sima of a nation is truly rare.

Ying Jing didn't stand on ceremony and stepped over Liu Yi's back.

Following closely behind, Yan Lingji also got out of the carriage.

She was slightly taken aback by the sight, but unlike Ying Jing, she didn't have his mischievousness. She took a step forward and seemed to transform into a ball of fire, arriving at Ying Jing's side.

Yan Lingji wore a sky-blue long dress, the fine material clinging tightly to her jade-like body.

She stretched languidly, her graceful curves perfectly showcased by the long dress.

Now that Yan Lingji hardly needs to fight anymore, she has come to like this blue dress at Ying Jing's suggestion.

All around, the Qin soldiers following Ying Jing kept their eyes fixed straight ahead, seemingly oblivious to the beauty like Yan Lingji.

It wasn't that she had much self-control, but she was already used to it and knew very well that this was Changxin-jun's woman!

But the Korean soldiers who followed Liu Yi were completely different.

They had never seen such a beauty before, and they were all instantly captivated, their burning gazes unable to resist looking at Yan Lingji.

Even though they knew it wasn't something they could do, they still couldn't control themselves.

Yan Lingji frowned slightly; she was already used to this kind of gaze.

However, since following Ying Jing, Yan Ling Ji has changed into a sky-blue dress that can cover her completely, and she is particularly disgusted by the gazes she used to be accustomed to.

A fair, jade-like hand was gently raised, and a ball of crimson flames immediately appeared.

Liu Yi had already stood up, and upon seeing this scene, he was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

He was naturally amazed by Yan Lingji's beauty, and even felt a lust for her.

But Liu Yi knew even better that such a woman was not someone he could covet.

The envoy to Korea this time, Jangshin-gun, is a figure that even the King of Han and the General dare not easily offend!

He was ordered to guide Ying Jing, and he dared not offend him in the slightest along the way.

In the end, it was these idiots under his command who ruined everything!

"You guys really deserve to die!"

Liu Yi didn't offer any apologies or pleading; he simply rushed into the midst of the soldiers, drawing a bronze sword from its sheath.

Blood splattered immediately.

"This is the Left Sima of Korea..."

Ying Jing sneered inwardly.

It would be an injustice if South Korea didn't perish.

"Why has the Left Sima gone to such lengths? A minor punishment will suffice."

Liu Yi, however, did not take it seriously: "Offending a noble person is naturally a capital offense."

As long as it doesn't affect him, what's a few deaths!

Although Ying Jing did not blame him, Liu Yi was still somewhat uneasy.

However, upon glancing at Yan Lingji beside Ying Jing, Liu Yi immediately had an idea.

If someone is always accompanied by such a beautiful woman when they go on a diplomatic mission to Korea, then Lord Changxin must be one of them!

Introduce the zither player from Zilan Pavilion to Lord Changxin; she'll surely win his favor.

Perhaps this will even allow me to establish a connection with Lord Changxin!

It's a pity about that Qin Ji... he's been craving her for a long time.

“My subordinates were ignorant and offended you, sir. Please give me a chance to apologize, Lord Changxin.”

"When you have some free time, I would like to invite you to visit the Zilan Pavilion. I have heard that you are an exceptionally skilled musician, but I can guarantee that the Zilan Pavilion's Nongyu will not disappoint you!"
