Chapter 32: The two families of Mo Nong, the shining stars!
Xiang Liang said decisively: "This plan can be implemented!"
Xiang Yu added: "This plan is indeed the best, but it will only delay the situation for a few months."
"It's a good opportunity for me to take advantage of these few months to concentrate on my cultivation and strive to break through to the half-step heavenly realm."
"By then, who in this vast world can contend with me?"
"Even if the rebellion fails, I can still go to Xianyang alone and overthrow the Qin court!"
Xiang Liang stood up and bowed deeply to Zhang Liang: "My dear brother Zhang Liang, you are truly a rare talent. On behalf of the nobles of Chu, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you for your advice."
"This is indeed a feasible strategy. I will set out immediately to persuade the nobles of various countries to tighten their food supplies and discipline their children. We will meet again in the fall!"
Zhang Liang also returned the greeting: "In fact, the middle plan is too costly to be implemented, and the lower plan of assassinating the Thirteenth Prince may have a hidden purpose."
"But you don't need to worry about this matter. I heard that the talented girl from the farmer's family has already set off for Xianyang a few days ago."
"Isn't that farmer's descendant a scholar famous for his wisdom and talent?"
"What is her intention in going to Xianyang?"
Zhang Liang responded with a smile: "I'm afraid you may not know this, but that extraordinary woman is the successor of the Yue Girl Swordsmanship. As early as three years ago, she had already reached the peak of the Grandmaster level in her last attack."
"Now that he has returned to the martial arts world after three years of seclusion, no one knows what his true level of cultivation is."
"But according to my guess, no one in this world except that sword master can withstand the power of her three swords."
The night is as cool as water.
In the manor on the eastern outskirts of Xianyang City, two maids were doing their respective duties and helping Ying Heng to sleep.
At the foot of the mountain in early April, the nights are still chilly.
In the huge bedroom, the fire was still burning.
Inside the house, Ying Heng lay leisurely in the spacious bathtub, immersed in the quiet enjoyment.
The bathtub was filled with flower petals, and a woman in Qingyi, dressed in light clothes, was concentrating on wiping the young master's body.
On the bed, a girl in purple was wrapped in a brocade quilt, revealing only her round little head and white shoulders.
Qingyi is always taciturn, while Ziyi is always articulate.
At this moment, the plump woman in the quilt complained: "It has been a long time since you went to the Oiran Courtyard. I have been warming the bed for seven consecutive nights, and it is so cold and lonely under the quilt~."
In the face of Ziyi's complaints, Qingyi did not say a word, and Yingheng continued to close his eyes and rest.
Zi Yi was used to it, her cunning eyes rolling around.
"Sir, why haven't you been out having fun lately?"
Ying Heng opened his mouth and bit off the apple that Qing Yi fed him, saying, "I'm tired."
Zi Yi curled her lips when she heard this and said, "Hey, I'm afraid there are no new girls?"
Ying Heng shook his head: "No, since I am now the regent, I will never go to that place of prostitution again. It will not be too late to go there after my Great Qin flag is planted all over the nine provinces!"
Zi Yi heard this and said with a smile: "Ah, young master, look at you, you don't even go to the brothel, and you don't even accept us sisters. It's been a long time since you've tasted anything fishy. Isn't it very uncomfortable?"
"Qingyi, why don't we find someone for the young master?"
"Okay!"
Qing Yi wiped Ying Heng's face clean and replied in a rare tone.
In his heart, there is only his young master. As long as it is good for his young master, he agrees. He is only interested in these things.
Ying Heng smiled and shook his head slightly when he heard this: "Alright, stop joking. How can someone be compared to you sisters?"
Qing Yi pouted: "But you won't accept us!"
"Qingyi, remember this, the Master's requirements must be like our sisters."
Qing Yi nodded seriously after hearing this: "I'll make a note of it."
While chatting and laughing, Ying Heng had already been wiped by Qingyi and walked towards the bed.
Seeing this, Zi Yi crawled out from under the quilt and returned to the cold bed.
That was hers. After Qingyi had finished packing, she went to bed.
The night passed quietly.
……
At dawn the next day, when the first light of day began to shine, Ying Heng dressed neatly with the help of Qingyi and Ziyi. After washing up, he pushed the door open and went out. He saw Qinglong, Zhuque and Xuanwu were already waiting outside the door.
Ying Heng nodded slightly to them and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Ziyi, go prepare three more breakfasts."
"Qinglong, please report the situation first."
He ordered calmly.
Qinglong replied respectfully: "Sir, within three days, all the main guards of Xianyang Palace have been replaced by members of the Jinyiwei."
"In addition, there has been initial progress in the operation to eliminate Zhao Gao's accomplices. Please review the relevant evidence, my lord."
As he spoke, he handed over a pile of supporting documents.
After Ying Heng looked at it carefully, his eyes became stern: "You will go to court with me later."
Qinglong agreed and continued to report: "The task of collecting hundreds of classics that you entrusted me with a few days ago has been basically completed."
"However, the important secret books of the Mohist and Agricultural schools have not yet been obtained. Now, all the classics except these two are here. Please take a look."
Ying Heng flipped through them and found that these ancient books were difficult to read because they had no punctuation marks, so he handed the book to Zi Yi and said, "Zi Yi, please add the punctuation marks for me first, and then present it to me."
Although Zi Yi was unwilling, she still took the book and muttered, "Young Master is partial to me. All the physical contact with you is given to Qing Yi, and the rest of the trivial matters are left to me."
Ying Heng then asked: "Why are the classics of the Mohist and Agricultural schools the only ones that cannot be obtained?"
Qinglong cupped his hands and responded, "The current leader of the Mo family is in seclusion for cultivation. His daughter Mo Ningshuang is temporarily in charge of the Mo family secret manual."
"This woman has an arrogant personality. She claims that the Mohist classics are too profound to be understood by ordinary people. She insists that she must meet you in person before deciding whether to lend you the classics. Her words seem to be intended to test you."
Zi Yi couldn't help but interrupt: "Mo Ningshuang is so arrogant, why don't you teach her a lesson?"
Qinglong responded: "There are two reasons. First, the young master once told me to treat you with courtesy, so it is inconvenient for me to take any action for the time being."
"Secondly, although Mo Ningshuang's martial arts skills are average, she is very talented and has an excellent appearance. She is in no way inferior to the two girls. Considering your preferences..."
"Okay, okay, no need to say more."
Zi Yi interrupted, "Just tell me where my third sister is now?"
"She is currently at Master Fusu's residence." Qinglong replied.
At this time, Qing Yi suggested, "Sir, how about we go to Master Fusu's mansion today?"
Ying Heng was helpless: "I am handling government affairs, please don't make trouble!"
Zi Yi and Qing Yi quickly agreed: "Oh, I see."
"Even if you want to go, you have to wait until the government affairs are handled in the morning."
The purple-clothed and blue-clothed people looked admiring.
After confirming the little episode outside of official duties, Ying Heng then asked about the farmers' affairs.
Qinglong answered again: "The heir of the Nong family is a young prodigy named Tian Ni. At the age of 18, she is hailed as the brightest new star of the Nong family. She and Mo Ningshuang of the Mo family are known as the twin beauties of the new generation of the Hundred Families."
"But when I arrived at the farmer's mansion, I learned that their daughter, the young master, had been out recently to handle a private matter."
“And all the important books of the farming family are stored in the mind of this young lady, and there is no written record.”
Ying Heng nodded slightly after hearing this: "Okay, let's put this matter aside for now."
He turned to Suzaku and asked, "Suzaku, what do you have to report?"
Zhuque stepped forward and reported, "Sir, five hundred kilograms of bamboo have been transported to the courtyard overnight. Please check it."
Ying Heng nodded, and after confirming that Zhuque had no other business, he turned to ask Xuanwu: "Xuanwu, do you have anything to report?"
