Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

Even in Nanyue's eyes, Ying An replaced Bai Feng and became the only one who could hear the music of her heart.

If before, Nanyue had to sacrifice herself and devote herself to Ying An for the sake of the sisters of Zilanxuan, and she still felt a little aggrieved and unwilling, then now, in just the time of a song, in Nanyue's heart, Ying An has become the most special existence.

Maybe it’s because Heartstrings is over.

Outside the window, the dense flocks of birds seemed to wake up all of a sudden. Amidst the chirping sounds, countless birds flapped their wings and flew high. In just a few breaths, all the birds disappeared without a trace.

Only the baby pigeon was left. It flapped its wings and flew in front of Nanyue, looking at her curiously with its pair of black little eyes.

The next moment, a gust of cold wind flew out from above the baby pigeon's head.

Suddenly, a childish voice came to Nanyue's ears.

When she suddenly heard the inexplicable voice, Nanyue suddenly became alert.

"Master... have you ever heard a little girl's voice?" Nong Yu only felt that this childish voice was faint and vague. Although she could hear it, she couldn't make out what the other party was saying.

Chapter 98: Laying the foundation in Qin! Controlling the Qin State with one's own strength!

Ying An laughed in silence. He could see that after listening to Nong Yu's heart-touching song, the pigeon baby had become curious about her. At this moment, his soul had just left his shell and was leaning close to Nong Yu's ear, asking questions non-stop.

It's a pity that although Nanyue was able to create the groundbreaking music "Heartstrings Song" which is of great help to the cultivation of the soul.

But she herself had not made any progress in the spiritual realm. Like Han Fei before her, she had the realm but was completely unaware of the emergence of the spiritual realm.

A smile played on Ying An's lips. A thought, tinged with pure yang energy, suddenly flew in front of Nanyue, knocking her soul out of her body.

Of course, although Ying An took the initiative to let Nanyue's soul leave her body, he did not do it by brute force. Otherwise, with the strength of Nanyue's soul, she would probably be scared to death in one encounter.

The moment her soul left the body, Nanyue had no time to feel the feeling of having no support for her consciousness, as if she was in the boundless ocean. In that instant, she saw a pigeon baby that was curiously pushing against her, like a little girl.

"It's you!!" Nanyue reacted immediately. The faint girl's voice she heard just now must have been from this strange little girl.

But soon, Nanyue noticed something strange.

Because she suddenly saw her own body, lying on the low table, motionless, as if she was asleep.

"This is..." At this moment, Nanyue had no time to pay attention to the little girl Pigeon Baby who appeared out of nowhere.

After all, compared to losing one's soul and life, the importance of a little girl appearing out of nowhere was far less important.

"Young Master!" Nanyue looked at Ying An for help.

Ying An smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm just helping your soul escape from your body. I'm just letting you see the person who just spoke in your ear. Talk to this girl for a while, and I'll help you return to your body later!"

Nanyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. After calming down, she quickly realized that if she was right, the girl who had just spoken in her ear, but whom she couldn't hear clearly in her physical body, was definitely not a living being of flesh and blood.

If not for this, Young Master Ying An would not have allowed his soul to leave his body to see this girl at this moment.

"You...what are you?" After hesitating for a moment, Nanyue asked.

The pigeon baby was stunned for a moment, blinked, then pointed at his own body and said, "This is me!! My master named me Pigeon Baby!! You can teach me, little pigeon. Your piano playing is amazing! It can even cleanse the soul. Can you tell me how you do it?"

Nanyue looked in the direction the baby pigeon pointed and found that there was only a white bird with long tail feathers, which looked quite beautiful and was as big as a pigeon.

With a bang in her mind, Nongyu finally understood why she couldn't see the baby pigeon just now.

It turned out that the little girl who met him with her spirit was not a human at all, but a white bird.

"You...you are a bird?" Nanyue said in horror.

The baby pigeon nodded as a matter of course, not feeling at all surprised by the inhuman things he had done.

Although Baby Pigeon had embarked on the path of spiritual cultivation because of Ying An, and with Ying An's support, she could even hope to become a ghost immortal in the future, but in the final analysis, she was just a little girl whose spiritual intelligence had not been awakened for long.

This can be judged from the pigeon baby's spirit and appearance, which is like that of a little girl of a few years old.

The baby pigeon, whose intelligence is just beginning to develop, obviously has not yet realized that as a bird, it is different from humans.

"This...how is this possible?" Nanyue widened her eyes and looked at the baby pigeon in disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible. Just like, the music of your heartstrings can attract hundreds of birds to pay homage to you. Then, the birds have their own consciousness. They are no longer ignorant beasts. What's so strange about that?" Ying An's voice came from behind.

Nanyue was shocked. After a while, she seemed to react. She looked at Ying An and said, "Did this happen, young master?"

As soon as the words came out, Nanyue seemed to have figured something out in an instant.

"No wonder, if you can even give birds self-awareness, how could you not hear the music of my heartstrings?"

"You underestimated the Heartstrings!" Ying An shook his head.

One has to admit that Nanyue's heartstrings music, even in the Yangshen world, is definitely an ability that is enough to consolidate the foundation of a sect.

Unfortunately, in this world, no one appreciated her abilities. Qin Ji, a gifted assassin like her, was treated like a consumable, dying at the hands of Ji Wuye. In Ying An's view, this was an absolute waste of talent.

At this moment, Nongyu finally understood that she seemed to be of great value to Ying An. Otherwise, with this young master's ability, he would never let her know about this method that could give animals self-awareness.

Although she was not sure how much value her heartstring music had for Ying An, she was certain of one thing.

Just relying on his own heartstrings, there will be no mistakes in the task assigned to him by Sister Zi Nu.

The pigeon baby was simple after all, and after communicating with Nanyue for only a short while, he was brushed off by Nanyue.

Although this girl was extremely curious about the Heartstrings' music, unfortunately, this kind of melody that could cleanse the soul was clearly not a matter of simple technique. Without reaching that state of mind and understanding, it would be impossible to play such a profound piece of music like Nanyue.

Moreover, the music of the heartstrings doesn't actually need to be played. Didn't you see that even Nongyu could create a melody that attracted hundreds of birds just by moving her fingers in the air?

The so-called sound of the piano, to be more precise, is a kind of vibration that is directly transmitted from heart to heart and transmitted to the soul.

If Ying An had not discovered the specialness of Nanyue, he might have just regarded Nanyue as a gift symbolizing his acceptance of Zilanxuan.

But after discovering that Nong Yu's heartstring music had such an incredible effect on the soul, Ying An would not let Nong Yu go no matter what.

That night, the most outstanding top-notch zither player in Zi Lan Xuan slept in Ying An's room.

Night falls. When Ying An is immersed in the happiness brought by Nong Yu.

In a secluded room in the Qinhui Hall.

Han Fei was kneeling in front of a low table. On the table were four refreshing side dishes and a pot of orchid wine that exuded the subtle fragrance of orchids.

Although Han Fei chose to give up his former ideals, causing a near-complete break between him and Zi Nu, Zi Lan Xuan was still open for business.

Even though he had already made up his mind to return to Qin with the Qin envoys and leave Han together, he still wanted to avoid alerting the enemy and causing Ji Wuye's revenge in advance.

During this period, Zilanxuan is still open to welcome guests.

In this way, with Han Fei's identity as the ninth prince of the Kingdom of Korea, it was naturally not difficult for him to buy the famous orchid wine from Zi Lan Xuan.

However, unlike the free drinks of the past, Han Fei now needed someone else to buy him wine. After all, with Zi Nu's temper, if Han Fei came in person, he might be turned away. She wouldn't even sell him the Orchid Wine.

"Thank you for keeping me waiting, Mr. Han Fei. This is my fault!!"

Just as Han Fei was immersed in his own thoughts, a voice came from outside the door.

Following the sound, he saw a figure with a silver mask on his face, led by the black and white sisters, walking like a dragon or a tiger, and heading straight towards him.

Han Fei immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "Han Fei greets Master Shang!"

From the moment Ying Zheng called himself "Gua Ren", it meant that he had no intention of hiding his identity in front of Han Fei. He even took the initiative to be honest with Han Fei about his identity.

However, Ying Zheng could acknowledge himself as the King of Qin. However, Han Fei only dared to address him as "Prince Shang". Han Fei was currently in Han. He could not meet the King of Qin as a prince of Han.

Ying Zheng was slightly startled, then gave Han Fei a meaningful look and said, "My Master Gai Nie said that Mr. Han Fei has now become my son Ying An's disciple?"

Han Fei smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "I never thought such a trivial matter would reach Master Shang's ears. Such a trivial matter is truly a disgrace to His Majesty!"

"That's right!" Ying Zheng suddenly realized that, no matter what, the chief envoy of the Qin delegation was Ying An. His father's presence in the guild hall, and especially his meeting with Han Fei, could be considered entirely arranged by Ying An. Why was he not present?

"Where's Ying An?"

Ying Zheng subconsciously asked the black and white sisters.

Upon hearing this, the Black and White sisters' pretty faces immediately flushed. You know, when they learned that Ying Zheng had come to the guild hall, the Black and White sisters had also wanted to report to Ying An. However, before they even entered the room, they heard the lewd sounds between Ying An and Nong Yu.

Even though the two sisters came from the Yin-Yang family, they had never seen such a scene.

After hesitating for a moment, the two sisters reported the matter to Ying An through the door. However, what they got was Ying An's direct instructions to them to bring Han Fei to Ying Zheng.

Seeing the strange behavior of the black and white sisters, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Gai Nie beside him.

Gai Nie's mouth twitched, and he moved closer to Ying Zheng, lowered his voice, and muttered a few words.

Ying Zheng's expression changed instantly. Even with the silver mask covering most of his face, one could still see how ugly his expression had become.

"Nonsense!" Ying Zheng shouted in frustration. He was about to lose his temper, but then, as if he had thought of something, his tone took a complete turn.

"It's human nature for a young man to admire Ai!!"

Looking at the Black and White sisters, Ying Zheng said, "You two are the Young Simings of the Yin-Yang Sect, right?"

"Your Majesty, that's right!" The black and white sisters quickly agreed.

"Since you sisters are already with my son, you should give him advice. An'er is still young and full of vigor. He may have some illnesses of mine, but they are not serious. But you must not overdo it. Do you two understand?" Ying Zheng said with a stiff face.

Even though he was the King of Qin and was directly in charge of his son's private affairs, Ying Zheng still felt extremely embarrassed.

The black and white sisters blushed with embarrassment. But at the same time, they were secretly delighted.

Since Ying Zheng directly ordered them both at this moment, it meant that he tacitly approved of their identities.

Although it seemed like this was just a casual remark from Ying Zheng, in reality, it was enough to allow the Black and White Sisters to circumvent the rules of the Yin-Yang family.

No matter how big the rules of the Yin-Yang family are, from the moment they defected to the Qin Dynasty, it meant that the rules within the Yin-Yang family had to give way to the Qin Dynasty.

Even in private, the Yin-Yang family had many of their own little thoughts and calculations, but in public, they would never disobey the orders of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng.

"Yes!!" The black and white sisters quickly knelt down and saluted.

Ying Zheng also didn't want to reveal his son's private affairs in front of Han Fei.

After waving his hand to signal the Black and White Sisters to leave, Ying Zheng said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Han Fei."

"Master Shang, don't you already understand why Master Ying'an behaves like this?" Han Fei smiled and reminded him with a double meaning.

In fact, both Han Fei and Ying An knew very well that although Ying An had indeed facilitated their meeting this time, it was not appropriate for Ying An to appear at this moment.

Never forget that Ying An was only the son of Ying Zheng, the second son of Qin. Ying Zheng was the true king of Qin.

Although Han Fei had chosen to give up his ideals, he had already tacitly become Ying An's retainer.

But in this era of feudal lords, theoretically, the ruler of a country is indeed the master of the country, able to control and mobilize the entire country's strength. However, in reality, the feudal lords within each country may not be on the same page with the monarch.

The Chu State was particularly evident in this regard.

You know, even though Chu was located in the south, it seemed that the only country that could truly compete with Qin was Zhao.

But in fact, if the national strength of Chu could be mobilized by the monarch, its strength would not be superior to that of Qin, but it would be enough to compete with Qin.

Even if there are only three households left in Chu, it will be Chu that will destroy Qin. This is absolutely not an empty statement.

However, within the vast Chu state, the feudal lords, though not individually as powerful as the King of Chu, were too numerous to count, and were plagued by internal conflicts.

The subjects of a feudal lord were not necessarily subjects of the monarch. This was almost a tacit rule among all nations.

Although Ying An was still only a prince and had not yet been granted a fiefdom, among the various nations, someone with a background like his was tacitly considered a future feudal lord.

According to the Zhou Dynasty etiquette, it was obviously inappropriate for Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, to meet Han Fei, a retainer of Ying An, in private.

Of course, it's not uncommon for retainers of feudal lords to have higher aspirations. For example, Li Si, a retainer of Lü Buwei, chose to surrender to Ying Zheng. That's another matter.

The conflict between the King of Qin and Lü Buwei was already known to all the nations. It was no longer a secret.

"Sir, you are so talented. Would you like to join our great Qin?" Ying Zheng asked Han Fei directly without any greetings or formalities.

Han Fei was silent for a moment before he said, "I have already pledged my allegiance to Prince Ying An. Hasn't this already landed me in Qin?"

After taking a deep look at Han Fei, Ying Zheng knew that from the moment Ying An became the chief envoy of the Qin delegation and Han Fei decided to surrender to Ying An, it would be impossible for him to truly make Han Fei his confidant.

In fact, it was not surprising to Ying Zheng that Han Fei chose to serve Ying An.

Don't forget that although Ying An was a prince of Qin, his mother was a princess of Han. In a sense, Ying An had half the same blood as Han Fei.

While the Chu faction was a significant force within the Qin court, other factions such as Zhao, Wei, Qi, and Yan were also present. Even Han was a force. However, compared to the Chu faction, these other factions were so weak that they could be ignored.

Under the premise that South Korea was doomed to perish, Han Fei obviously planned to save the country in a roundabout way.

Given Han Fei's status and wisdom, if he had joined the Qin Dynasty and become a retainer of Ying An, it is conceivable that the previously weak and negligible Han forces would have grown stronger in a short period of time.

Especially the forces of various countries were not clearly divided in the Qin court.

Among the Chu forces under Changping Jun, there are also people from the other five countries.

In the court of the Qin Dynasty, the ones who truly held the decisive power were always the old Qin people.

But it is undeniable that the forces of various countries, either because of marriage or people like Li Si who defected to Qin, have already occupied the majority.
