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

Chapter 151 Lady Mingzhu is too tempting

"What a brilliant example of calling a horse a deer! Lord Changxin has taught me a lesson."

Looking at the "deer" in the center of the hall, Gongsun Long's aged face showed some bitterness, and he decisively chose to admit defeat.

Throughout his life, he debated with countless wise men and even clashed with powerful figures like Lord Pingyuan, but he had never felt so humiliated!

When King Han An also admitted that the little colt in the center of the hall was a deer, Gongsun Long knew that he had no chance of winning the debate today.

What does "white horse is not a horse" even mean?

A white horse is a deer; this is a height that Gongsun Long believes he can never reach.

Because this is no longer something that can be achieved through eloquence, but requires the reliance on power.

A master eloquent speaker can turn black into white and is virtually unbeatable in any debate.

But Ying Jing never intended to argue with him according to the rules from the very beginning.

Ying Jing used Legalist methods to guide Lady Mingzhu's alliances with Bai Yifei, Ji Wuye, and others, combining "technique" with "power."

This forced King Han and his courtiers to admit that the horse was indeed a deer, and even forced Gongsun Long to admit defeat. This was also a Legalist approach of using "power" to intimidate others.

With the Qin state as his backer, Ying Jing was very adept at this; he had used this tactic many years ago when he was an envoy to the Zhao state.

At this moment, Han Fei's expression was the most complicated. He had just been focused on stopping Hong Lian from making any noise, but now, looking back at Ying Jing's actions, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Han Fei proposed the concept of "law, technique, and power," but Ying Jing discarded the most important law and only used the latter two.

Moreover, it was also used in South Korea, on his father.

The effect was surprisingly good.

With Gongsun Long's surrender, the entire Han royal palace fell silent.

Everyone can see clearly that this is no longer a simple debate.

"In that case, Your Majesty, please agree to cede Nanyang as compensation."

Ying Jing smiled gently, his manner refined and polite, but his words made King Han An feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The debate between Lord Changxin and Gongsun Long seems to have no causal relationship with the cession of Nanyang.

Since Ying Jing could already "call a horse a deer" in the Han royal palace, it seemed that whether or not Nanyang was ceded made little difference.

Ying Jing continued to use his power to intimidate others.

However, Han Wang'an still wanted to try to salvage the situation, so he first looked at Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei frowned and stared at Madam Mingzhu, who maintained a faint smile.

After seemingly pondering for a moment, Bai Yifei regained his calm and cold expression and remained silent.

King An of Han could only place his last hope on Ji Wuye.

However, Ji Wuye just stared wide-eyed at Bai Yifei, seemingly still wondering when this guy had gotten involved with Changxin Jun...

Zhang Kaidi and Han Fei wanted to speak, but they found they couldn't utter a word.

Han Fei suddenly clutched his chest, his whole body convulsing, and Honglian beside him hurriedly helped him up.

King Han immediately understood.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood gushed out, and he immediately closed his eyes and fainted.

Ying Jing shook his head helplessly, thinking how fortunate Han Fei was to have come up with such a solution.

But this method is indeed very effective; at least today, there is no way to get King Han An to directly agree to cede Nanyang.

"Lord Changxin, I'll be waiting for you at the post station."

A clear and melodious voice entered Ying Jing's ears.

Ying Jing remained expressionless and replied telepathically, "Okay."

……

Biqin Palace.

"I never thought this old guy could come up with such a method!"

Madam Mingzhu slammed her hand on the table, her face full of anger.

She seemed to have already directly identified herself as Lady Changxin, and if the cession of Nanyang were to succeed, it would be a great achievement for Ying Jing.

However, Ying Jing didn't care much about this credit.

As a member of the royal family, he already possessed titles and fiefdoms, so these achievements, which ordinary people dream of, were of little use to him.

"Madam, there's no need to be angry. It's enough that Bai Yifei has turned against us."

Bai Yifei originally wanted to take advantage of the Baiyue treasure, but ultimately did not make a move.

Even today in the palace, Bai Yifei chose to stand directly on Ying Jing's side.

Madam Mingzhu smiled gently: "That's not my doing. There's only one person in the world who can make Bai Yifei change his mind."

Marquis de la Décoratif.

Hearing this title from Madam Mingzhu again, Ying Jing immediately understood.

Her plump, soft buttocks landed on Ying Jing's lap, and Lady Mingzhu's two slender arms wrapped around Ying Jing's neck, her breath sweet as orchids.

"My husband is indeed quite bold. Aren't you worried that Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye will disagree with ceding Nanyang?"

Ying Jing's large, broad hand slid down and gently grasped Lady Mingzhu's soft, jade-like feet, examining them closely.

Her skin was fair and translucent, with delicate texture, and she was beyond compare.

"There's nothing to worry about. I'll use my power to crush them. Ji Wuye needs to leave himself a way out, and so does Bai Yifei."

It would have been different if it had been Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi, so the two of them didn't even get a chance to speak.

"But what about your side? Will there be any problems?"

Lady Mingzhu openly sided with Ying Jing; she was the first to echo Ying Jing's claim that he was calling a horse a deer.

Han Wang An dared not provoke Ying Jing, and he was also not easy to deal with Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei.

If King Han were to settle scores, Lady Mingzhu would be in the most danger.

"Ho ho..."

Madam Mingzhu had a broad smile on her face, looking very happy, and her eyes were bright and sparkling like stars.

“It’s rare for my husband to think of me like this. But you don’t need to worry about me. I’ve been in the palace for so many years, I have my own methods, and my aunt will also help me…”

Ying Jing frowned slightly; the Marquis was the person he couldn't understand the most.

But Madam Mingzhu was now almost pressed against his chest, her soft and delicate skin so smooth it seemed like it could be broken with a touch.

"If my husband is truly worried, why not bring me to Qin as soon as possible..."

Ying Jing thought about this question seriously.

It seems that this is indeed something worth considering.

The reason he suddenly forced Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei to take sides today is that he felt he had been delayed in Korea for too long.

Things here should be coming to an end soon.

Looking at the handsome man lost in thought, Madam Mingzhu's eyes brightened even more, as if the stars in the sky were reflected in her sparkling eyes.

A fair, beautiful foot moved quietly, sliding to some unknown location.

hiss!

Ying Jing stopped thinking about anything else.

……

The inn's living room.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who exuded a noble and dignified aura but had no expression, Ying Jing couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

He seems to have forgotten his promise to Dongjun.

But you can't blame him for that.

It's just that Madam Mingzhu is too tempting.
