      The King of the Warring States Era - Long Zhu

      OPERATIONS

      CHAPTER 101 - CHEN LING'S APPEARANCE

      Guo Wei was an old official of the Yan Nation who had overheard the rumors in the King of Yan a few years ago, and imitated Yao Shun's action of giving up the throne to the son of the prime minister. As such, the powerful officials led the way, under tyrannical authority, the citizens were dissatisfied, the crown prince of the Yan Nation led the army to attack the son of the, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

      After the defeat of Crown Prince Ji Ping, he fled to the area of the Chang Bai Mountain in a sorry state, attempting to borrow the power of other clans to return to the Yan Nation to seize power.

      Just at this time, the Qi Nation used the power of the Yan Nation to calm down the internal strife within the Yan Nation, and broke into the Yan Nation, quickly occupying the southern regions of the Yan Nation, killing off their son's remnants. However, the Qi Nation did not withdraw her troops, but instead acted as an aggressor, Bei ferrying Yi Shui, wanting to destroy the Yan Nation, and achieve supremacy.

      Since the Queen Yi was the daughter of the King Huiwen Qin, he had already sent people to the Qin Nation to ask for help, hoping to borrow the Qin Nation's power to send troops to suppress the Qi Nation, so the Yan Nation could preserve its life.

      When he was fifteen years old, he was sent to Korea by King of Yan to be a hostage. Four years later, when there was internal strife in Yan Nation, Queen Yi sent people to Korea to welcome him, but was rejected by Korea. The reason was that the young master had already escaped without permission half a year ago and his whereabouts were unknown.

      Yan Nation's side, unlike the scouts and spies, sent scouts to all sorts of places to find the whereabouts of their young master, but none of them succeeded. They felt that the odds were against them, Guo Wei never thought that he would see someone who looked so similar to him at the auction site of the Wei Nation.

      Although Chen Ling had become a martial master at this time, and his appearance had become heroic and tall, his facial features still retained about sixty to seventy percent of their original looks. This Guo Wei was once an important official of the Yan Nation, and had never once held a position as a Young Master, thus he could tell at a glance.

      Young master's position? It really is Young Master Ji Zhi! If he really is the missing Young Noble of Yan Nation, then Yan Nation will be saved. If a prince were to live on in Queen Yi, then the prestige of the Queen Yi will be different, as he can even fight with the Crown Prince for the position of Yan Nation.

      … ….

      Luo Yuyan glanced at Chen Ling, his brows carrying a smile, as his tone turned gentle: Yuyan has three questions, some were stopped by others, some have heard of the rumors, and the two of you are planner whose name shakes the world, while the other one is a hero whose name has risen up even more in the entire Wei Nation. These three questions currently do not have any reasonable answers, so regardless of whether you have heard of them, it is equally fair.

      When everyone heard the talented girl's words, they were immediately filled with interest. Being able to trap the talented girl Luo must be a headache.

      Young Master Wei was also a little nervous, at the moment, Chen Ling was considered a member of his faction. If Chen Ling was humiliated, it would definitely cause a blow to his faction, but he had no other choice, because at this time, he had no other choice.

      Gongsun Yan, Zhang Yi,, Su Dynasty, Qu Yuan and the others were all gathered in concentration, wanting to hear what the three questions were.

      At this time, Luo Yuyan opened his mouth and spoke with a voice as loud as the sound of nature: The first one is someone else's question to Yuyan, there is an elephant in my Qi Nation, it is tall and mighty in the royal garden, far stronger than any other elephant. My King wants to know the exact weight of this elephant, but I cannot harm this elephant, do you two have any methods?

      The crowd was in an uproar. They were thinking that it was a question of weighing the elephant, but when they thought about it carefully, they couldn't help but frown. If they didn't kill the elephant, they would be crushed into pieces. After all, there was no such huge scale in the world. Even if Ruban was still alive, he wouldn't be able to make such a huge scale.

      Chen Zhen wanted to be extremely witty, but when he heard it, he frowned. He could not think of anything in the next moment.

      Even the intelligent Luo Da Shi Nu was troubled, everyone felt that there was nothing they could do.

      If I don't hurt the elephant, I'm afraid I won't be able to say it.

      Yeah, if both of them can't answer that question, then this match can be considered a draw.

      Seeing that no one said anything, talented girl Luo was slightly disappointed: Mr. Chen, can you think of a way?

      Chen Zhen's face was a little awkward. He was brimming with interest just a moment ago, but now he said with embarrassment: If Miss Luo cannot think of one, then I am even worse. I cannot think of a good way for now.

      The way this person spoke was extremely tactful. Firstly, he said that he couldn't think of anything in great talented girl, so it wouldn't be considered shameful if I couldn't think of anything. Secondly, it was a bit short, so it was normal that I couldn't think of anything.

      Seeing Chen Ling's indifferent expression, Luo Yuyan thought that he had no other ways, and was just about to set the next question, when Chen Ling suddenly spoke: Wait, I have a way.

      Oh? Everyone's eyes turned to look at Chen Ling, they did not believe that he could really do something, and did not believe that he could?

      After interacting with Chen Ling for a few days, Luo Yuyan realized that this Chen Ling was not simple at all. She wanted to test him out, so when she heard this, she was overjoyed.

      Chen Ling snickered in his heart, why was it so difficult? When he was in primary school, he already knew that he had learned how to use textbooks!

      That's not difficult, we just didn't get around this curve. First, we found a wooden boat, caught the elephant, and carved the mark of sinking into the water under the boat. Then we chased the elephant onto the shore, put the stone on the boat, until the sinking position of the boat was equal to that of when the elephant was being weighed. At this time …

      AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! talented girl Luo suddenly let out a surprised shout, but before Chen Ling could finish speaking, he had already understood what was going on. Indeed, with the same amount of weight, the stone would be easily weighed.

      The corner of Chen Ling's mouth curled up into a smile, thinking to himself, as expected of the great talented girl, his reaction speed was rather fast, and he continued to speak, When you finish weighing the stones one by one, adding up, it's just the weight of the elephant.

      After a moment of silence, everyone was suddenly enlightened. So that was how it was! They all came to understand that this wasn't a direct comparison, but a comparison.

      At this time, the hundred over sages and officials present all had a whole new level of respect for Chen Ling.

      Only the crown prince was secretly furious in his heart: This Chen Ling has displayed another skill, he is so infuriating, I am going to die. Just you wait, in three days, it will be your death date.

      Luo Yuyan smiled widely, and sure enough, Chen Ling did not disappoint her, as she said smilingly: In the first round, Chen Ling won.

      Everyone shouted out Good in support of this idea.

      Second question, I have a Night Pearl. It was gifted to Yuyan by the wise man of the Peruvian, who came to the Qi Nation's underworld palace, and gave it to her. It contains several lines of wrinkles, and although each side of the pearl is empty, it is not transparent, and the other side cannot be seen through, so he asked me if I had a way to cut a line from one end to the other, without damaging the structure of the space.

      They all thought about how to pass through the holes in the Night Pearl, then shook their heads and gave up. They all felt that their method wouldn't work, and unavoidably, their gazes once again focused on Chen Zhen and Chen Ling.

      He lost a game just now, and the second question, he had no idea. After thinking for a moment, he cupped his hands and said: I have never used jade beads, so I don't understand the structure of these things, and can't think of any answers.

      Everyone could accept that, not to mention Chen Zhen, there were representatives of the expert in diplomacy, famous family, Mo family, soldier family, and Yin Yang family. However, no one could think of a way, and no one laughed at him.

      Childe Chen, do you have a way to deal with this?

      Chen Ling thought for a while. Although he had read about this kind of method to solve this kind of problem in the books before, he had never personally tested it, nor was he confident that it would work.

      Oh? What method? Tell me!" Luo Yuyan's eyes shone brightly as she asked in interest.

      This, I need some props. We'll know when the orders are sent over. He summoned a servant and a servant, and after giving some instructions, the two of them left. In an instant, the two servants returned and nodded towards Chen Ling, and handed them over.

      Chen Ling walked forward, took the Night Pearl from the talented girl Luo's hands and placed it on the table before fixing it there. He then explained, These are a few beehive drops, and this is an ant! As he said this, he spread a few drops of the Bee Nectar Bee onto an empty end. After the smell had evaporated, he tied a string around the ant's leg and put it into a small hole.

      Ah, I see. Luo Yuyan cheered once again. She was so excited that she did not care about the image of the talented girl anymore.

      CHAPTER 102 - YIN-YANG ASTRONOMY

      talented girl Luo's exclamation caused everyone to be shocked, and when they saw Chen Ling's action, many of them seemed to understand it as well.

      Due to the ant's extremely sensitive sense of smell and its specialty as a drill, it quickly drilled out from the Night Pearl.

      Oh?

      When everyone saw this, they suddenly realized what Chen Ling's method was. Using ants to string a string, he pierced through and out a twisted bead.

      So that's how it is. I didn't think of it that way. It wasn't just Luo Yuyan, everyone present felt that something was wrong.

      At this moment, no one dared to underestimate him anymore.

      They all felt that they were inferior, and that they naturally had a new evaluation of Chen Ling in their hearts. At least, it was not like how they thought before, where their limbs were well-developed and their brains were simple.

      The most awkward moment on the stage was Chen Zhen, ever since he had started his cultivation, his entire life had been filled with twists and turns, and he had never been defeated or humiliated before. Even when he was fighting with Zhang Yi in the open and in secret, he did not lose out to him by too many times, but tonight, he lost, although it was unlikely for the wind to blow, but he became Chen Ling's stepping stone.

      Childe Chen, how did you think of that? He's too talented." Luo Yuyan's smile was like a flower, causing all the flowers in the room to pale in comparison.

      Chen Ling modestly replied: This is nothing, just a word, no matter what, a gentleman will always borrow strength to do it!

      A gentleman should borrow strength to do so! Everyone silently recited these words in their hearts. They could not help but secretly nod as their hearts were filled with admiration.

      was also a rarely seen wise man, but Leng Guang looked at Chen Ling. Although he had always been disgusted with Chen Ling, and had always thought that he was just a martial uncle who did not need to be feared, at this moment, he knew that he was wrong. Even the wise warriors in Qin Nation had misjudged him.

      If they did not focus on him again, it was very likely that the Qin Nation would suffer big losses later on.

      Since he couldn't win this Chen Ling over to the Qin Nation, he had to send people to get rid of him! Chen Zhen thought in his heart, but on the surface, he still put in effort. He cupped his hands and bowed to Luo Yuyan and the people around him, and said in a meticulous manner: This time, I have lost the competition between me and Chen Ling, and am not good at using these techniques, but here, take back what was said just now, Chen Ling is indeed a person, and is not a reckless martial artist without any weaknesses.

      His words were in full support of what he had said and it helped him to justify his actions. At the same time, he had to say that the planner s of the expert in diplomacy were capable of saying things in reverse, and the black could say things in white.

      Chen Zhen did not manage to say anything in either of the matches. In the third match, he admitted defeat and could be considered to have retreated despite knowing that it would be difficult. The wise man knew that if they continued to compete, he would not change at all, and would only embarrass himself even more.

      Young Master Wei was also pleased, the more eye-catching Chen Ling's performance was, the more face he would have.

      The crown prince's group's faces were gloomy, they had already designated Chen Ling as their target that they had to kill.

      Luo Yuyan courteously said, Mr Chen, there is no need to be modest, there is not much that can be thought of here, these problems have always troubled Yuanyan, and fortunately, a strange man like Chen Ling will be able to solve it easily. Finally, there is the third question, Childe Chen, what do you think of trying it out? The last sentence, was already asking Chen Ling.

      Chen Ling shook his head and laughed: I don't think so. The previous two were just coincidentally thinking of it, if they came out again, I doubt that they would be able to answer it.

      Luo Yuyan obviously had not seen enough of his acting, and felt that he had become more and more secretive. There must be more scholars and great talents, with the personality of a talented girl, treating all the talented people in the world as close friends, how could she let go of this opportunity?

      The third question is not the first two, but rather an astronomical knowledge. With regards to celestial bodies in the starry sky, Yanyan has always been unable to understand, does the sun revolve around the earth, or does the earth revolve around the sun?

      This was a contradiction between what the ancients had said and what Yuexin had said. The ancients did not have such high technology satellite detection and observation equipment, so they could only rely on star inference. However, during the ancient era, especially during the Spring and Autumn War, the intellectuals generally agreed with the view of the round land.

      The Heaven Circle was the essence of the Yin Yang family. The ancient people called the undivided world and the initial state of chaos Tai Chi. Tai Ji gave birth to two elements, which separated the Yin and Yang, separating the heaven and earth.

      The ancients called the vast universe of stars the sky, and the land upon which they lived was called the earth. Since the celestial bodies, such as the sun and the moon, were moving round and round without end, it was like a closed circle without beginning or end, and the earth, on the other hand, was quietly carrying us there, as if a square object were stationary and stable, so the concept of a celestial circle came into being.

      This thought continued for thousands of years through the traditional Chinese culture, such as the ancient copper coin, the outer and inner structure, the traditional Chinese architecture, they paid more attention to the heaven and earth, to the Heaven Altar, Earth Altar, and the courtyard homes of the later generations.

      Chen Ling nodded his head slightly. He could understand the confusion of the ancients and knew that this contradictory question had troubled the people of the world for thousands of years.

      Think of the Sun as stationary, with the Earth and other planets moving around it; move the Earth from the center of celestial motion to the position of an ordinary planet. The description of planetary motion is simpler and more scientific. The idea of heliocentrism liberated science from theology, triumphed over geocentric theory, and was gradually accepted.

      In the China, in the twenty-first century, it was investigated that there were still 27 people in the country who did not know that the earth revolved around the sun and that science education was still limited.

      The people had to be strong, they couldn't just look at money and focus only on economic construction. In the end, they had to turn the ancient country into a country that only knew how to make money, a country that only knew how to do business and turn into a corrupt government.

      About this, it's hard to say. I'm just afraid that no one here will understand! Chen Ling chuckled.

      We don't understand? What an arrogant tone! The Crown Prince of Wei retorted first.

      The scholar from the Yin Yang family, Zou Yan, had some attainments in astronomy. Hearing Chen Ling look down on everyone, his arrogance rose, and he stared coldly at Chen Ling, and shouted: Go ahead and say it, no one from my Yin Yang family will understand.

      Sir Chen Ling, please say it quickly.

      Right, hurry up and tell us — — Everyone was somewhat impatient.

      Chen Ling's mind was shaken, he immediately went all out, looked around, and smiled: Firstly, the two of us are spheres, but because we are standing on the surface of the Earth, and are unable to see our sphere, we only use the Earth as a reference point to observe the sun, thus we feel that the sun is orbiting around the Earth everyday, which is very narrow and wrong.

      Luo Yuyan, Zou Yan, Qu Yuan, Gongsun Yan, Su Dynasty and the others were all deep in thought, and the others were also listening intently, as the current words they were saying broke the logic of the place.

      "Secondly, everyone thinks that the sky is round and the earth is square. This is a misunderstanding area, in fact, the land we live on, is a huge continent, and on this earth, 70% of the land is an endless sea, only 30% of the land is land, so it is divided into seven continents, four seas, the Central Plains where we live, in fact, is in the east of Asia, surrounded by the Central Plains. Other than the Chu Nation and the Qi Nation that are close to the sea, the rest of the noble kingdoms are inland, the Huns are in the north, the Arctic glaciers are in the north, the south of the Chu Nation is not only a few tribes.

      Huh? Everyone looked as if they were listening to a heavenly book as their eyes widened. They were completely shocked by what they heard.

      CHAPTER 103 - WISHFUL THINKING

      Chen Ling felt that he had talked too much. If he continued with his story, wouldn't these ancient people think of him as a monster and tie him up to the wooden shelf to burn him to death? I love science, but I love life more.

      Heh heh, I've heard this before, and I have my own guesses, so there is no need for everyone to care, whether it is the Sky Circle, Sky Square or the Earth Circle, they do not have much to do with us, the key is to grasp our current situation well. As we have more important things to do, we can continue to train outside, otherwise we will not be able to concentrate on the competition three days from now.

      Chen Ling cupped his hands and bowed to the people around him, then turned and walked out.

      Chen... Brother … Childe Chen... Luo Yuyan quickly changed her tone when she said that she wanted his to stay.

      However, Zou Yan was even faster than him. He got up and pulled Chen Ling's arm, asking: Childe Chen, this earth is circular, how can it be verified? Where did you hear about the seven continents and the four seas?

      Chen Ling suddenly thought of something and said: As long as you are in front of the Chu Nation's ocean, the ferry will leave, all the way to the east, across the Pacific Ocean, and reach the land of North America, and continue to the east, across the western land, you will return to the west side of Qin Nation, walking in a circle, this diameter is around 25,000 Li, goodbye.

      He no longer paid attention to the calls and obstructions of the crowd. Walking out of the hall, he called the guards outside and rushed back to the Chen Mansion.

      This time, he did not hear any wonderful words from the historical books, but pushed him to the top of the storm.

      Chen Ling deliberately kept a low profile, because this was not the time for him to reveal himself. Once he asked these three questions, everyone would probably remember him deeply.

      This is called having the heart to plant flowers without blooming, and having the heart to plant the willow in the shade.

      "I was too careless tonight. It's mainly because I can't maintain a cowardly attitude in front of the great talented girl! Ah, Luo Yuyan, Luo Yuyan, why did you come to provoke me? When he confirmed that Luo Yu was indeed Luo Yuyan, even though he tried her best to control her emotions, he was also a little moved.

      Master Chen, is he really as beautiful as the rumors say? Someone from the guard company asked.

      Yeah, some of the servants outside the palace are praising the beauty of the Luo Da Shi Nu, so much so that they are more handsome than fairies. Is it true that they are ranked second among the various countries? Teng Hu asked curiously.

      Chen Ling shook his head and smiled, men's topics could not be separated from women, it was the same for all dynasties.

      Beautiful as an Immortal! Chen Ling rode on the horse and sighed four words, thinking that if he could get the beauty, it would also be a good idea, but it was a pity, her identity was too unique, if he really wanted to interact with her, he would almost become his enemy, and he currently did not have the qualifications.

      Strength! Power! That was all he lacked.

      Returning to the residence, he closed the door and declined the visitors. Chen Ling wanted to use the last three days to thoroughly stabilize the realm of half a step into the Martial Saint, in order to open more meridians, which would be infinitely close to the real Martial Saint.

      If it were anyone else, from a martial master to cultivating in the Martial Saint, it would definitely not be so fast, because to go from external to internal cultivation, not only did one need a strong body as a carrier, but more importantly, from the previous movements to a calm state, it all depended on one's understanding and familiarity with meridians, acupuncture points, luck, and comprehension ability, in order to make great progress.

      Chen Ling had the experience of an Innate Ranker from his previous life, hence he was extremely familiar with the path of cultivation.

      Shenting Acupoints, Baihui Acupoints, Fengchi Acupoints, Shanzhong Acupoints... Three-focal Shaoyang meridian, hand Taiyin, kidney and foot Shaoyang meridian …

      Chen Ling was very familiar with these words used to practice internal martial arts.

      As night fell, Chen Ling sat cross-legged in the small bamboo forest in the backyard, and began cultivating.

      Very quickly, the energy circulated around Chen Ling's three small meridians, circulated for a small cycle in his body, and then circulated, slowly fusing into his Dantian.

      After two hours, it was almost midnight when Chen Ling stood up. His entire person moved, his bones crackled non-stop, and when he breathed, his breath was leisurely and abundant.

      Even if we meet a real Martial Saint, as long as they aren't an expert who has cultivated for more than five years, defeating them wouldn't be difficult. At this moment, Chen Ling was confident that he could take care of that Qiu Yicai with 80% certainty.

      Chen Ling opened the door and returned to his room. Yi'er was sleeping soundly, under the yellow light of the bronze lamp, the beauty's face was moist like jade, Chen Ling gently lifted up the blanket, oh my god, Yi'er's white body, only had a thin layer of dress draped over it, waiting for her husband to come back and comfort her.

      … ….

      The next day, Young Master Wei was the first to arrive, his face was filled with praise for Chen Ling's performance last night, after chatting for a while, because the Young Master Wei was also the host of the Hunting Ceremony, he hurriedly left, heading towards the Yu Ze Hunting Grounds' camp that was in charge of arranging the great ceremony.

      Chen Ling did not mind, he continued to practice the sword instead. The Gu Chen Sword Art was divided into thirteen swords, also known as the Gu Chen Thirteen Swords, each layer more difficult than the previous ones. With Chen Ling's talent and inner force, he could only cultivate the tenth sword strike, and was ranked in the top three of the clan.

      Now that he had some inner strength, he could practice the Fourth Sword's realm. If he didn't have a pure inner force skill, his sword art would only be an empty shell. He would not be able to display many of its wonders.

      The first sword strike to the third sword stroke was the foundation stage. The fourth sword strike would gradually become more and more profound.

      Chen Ling held his sword and swam about, his figure mottled as he danced about in the courtyard. The Sword Qi was dense, his hands moved like lightning, the surrounding air was pierced by the sword edges continuously, and with a chi chi chi sound, his entire body was enveloped in a curtain of swords.

      From the beginning of each level, there were thirty-six changes to each level. They could be broken down and combined, or they could be used to reverse the situation.

      Chen Ling channeled his weak inner strength and unleashed his fourth sword strike, the Four Directions Seal Throat, the tip of the sword was cold like lightning, and the figure actually split into two, becoming four, each of the four figures appearing extremely fast and nimble.

      These four aspects referred to truth, falsehood, illusion and illusion. Sword techniques relied on falsehood to replace reality, and were suitable for quick attacks.

      In an instant, Chen Ling retracted his sword and stood there, Huo Yier was dressed in a white dress, it was fresh and enchanting, he was standing at the side holding a towel and handkerchief, seeing his man, he stopped dancing and handed over the handkerchief, while begging: Master, Yi'er also wants to learn such a powerful sword technique.

      Why do you suddenly want to learn swordsmanship?

      Seeing how hardworking the old master is in practicing the sword every day, Yi-Er also wants to study hard so that she can share some of the old master's burden in the future. She will be useful to the Chenchen family and not be a burden to the old master.

      As a swallow, Huo Yier was sold to the Young Master Residence by the Wei Nation as a songstress servant. In order to win over Chen Ling, the Young Master Wei sent her out like a merchandise, and finally found a good home to settle in with with great difficulty, she was especially cherished. However, she understood clearly, with Chen Ling's talent, there were too many women who liked him.

      As a concubine, she was already satisfied, but she was also afraid that there would be more women by Chen Ling's side in the future. She didn't even have the qualifications to be a concubine, so she wanted to learn martial arts and practice the sword.

      Chen Ling thought, there were too few people around him anyway, so if Yi'er could increase her strength, he would give her some tasks in the future, such as managing the goods and organizations, managing the Chenchen family business, and so on. She could be considered a good assistant, and he was not an outsider either, so he could be at ease.

      Alright, I have a set of the Pure Maiden Sword Art , which is suitable for women to train in. Fine, I have a set of the Pure Maiden Sword Technique, which is suitable for women to train in.

      Haha, that's great! Thank you, Old Master! Yi'er's smile was like a flower, and her mood was ecstatic.

      Just then, a guard walked into the backyard and came over to report that Miss Bai Ruoxi had arrived at the mansion.

      CHAPTER 104 - PEN, INK AND PAPER

      When Chen Ling heard that Bai Ruoxi had come, his heart tensed up, and he went to see her. At that time, he said that he would not participate in the talented girl's research, but after he changed his mind, he thought that Miss Bai would definitely ask him for forgiveness.

      Let's invite Eldest Miss to the living room. I'll be going now.

      Understood. The guard withdrew.

      Chen Ling smiled bitterly at Yi'er: Miss Bai, you are swift and decisive, smart and capable, not one bit inferior to men. In the future, Yi'er will be able to do it too, and manage the accounts of our Chen Mansion …

      Huo Yier nodded, and said seriously: Old master, I will work hard.

      Even though you used to have the status of a muse, but you were forced to do it out of helplessness. The misfortune of the Yan Nation, and your inability to protect your own people, if the country has not perished, you do not need to be humiliated like this. In my Chen Mansion, you are my man, the mistress of the Chen family, and you do not have any restrictions on your status or position.

      Xiang … Husband … Thinking about how he had broken down into smithereens, how his Yan Nation was swaying in the wind and rain, how his family had been engulfed in flames of war, how he had been forced to leave his hometown, all sorts of thoughts surfaced in his mind, and hearing Chen Ling's words, his eyes filled with tears.

      With the nation's destruction of mountains and rivers, the victims were all innocent civilians.

      … ….

      When Chen Ling came to the main hall, Bai Ruoxi was holding a brush and practicing calligraphy. She was dressed in a light green long skirt, looking elegant and refined, her expression was calm and collected, and her eyes were focused on writing a few words.

      Ruoxi!

      Bai Ruoxi was stunned when she heard it, she raised her head, and her beautiful eyes were filled with emotions.

      Brother Ling, you've finally appeared. But now your reputation is even more famous in Daliang City.

      Chen Ling said, Oh, what do you mean?

      It's not you. Last night at the female witness meeting, there was an amazing person, also known as an elephant, who pierced the Night Pearls, causing the entire city to be in an uproar. Furthermore, you even said that the earth was round, many people want to find you for a theory? Bai Ruoxi scolded.

      Chen Ling realised, thinking that this news would spread faster than he thought.

      Last night, hey, it was definitely a coincidence. I had originally decided not to go, but who knew that the Young Master Wei would personally come to pick me up and bring me along. It was definitely not my original intention. Chen Ling explained to the beauty honestly.

      Bai Ruoxi snorted lightly: "When I first saw Luo Yuyan at dusk, I knew that she would definitely send someone to invite you to participate. As I expected, so what if she is talented?

      Chen Ling did not hear it clearly, and did not continue to prevent the First Miss from continuing to pursue the topic. He hurriedly changed the topic and asked, Is the First Miss holding onto a brush? Have you produced the sample so quickly?

      Bai Ruoxi nodded her head: Not bad, this is a sample that was made using your design, it does not have too many ingredients, and is basically formed. I also brought the ink that the Brother Ling specified, writing it down, is indeed much easier than carving it with a knife and dipping it in a brush.

      Chen Ling looked at Bai Ruoxi's calligraphy and smiled lightly, taking the brush from her hands and writing with great speed. Her calligraphy was extremely powerful and beautiful, but what a joke, Chen Ling had practiced calligraphy since he was young, even though carving bamboo slips was not enough, but when using it to write, he admitted that his level was not low.

      Bai Ruoxi's eyes lit up as she said in pleasant surprise: So this is how you grasp the brush. No wonder you're writing so smoothly and vigorously. Brother Ling, you're really too smart.

      Chen Ling smiled and asked: Have you given the toothbrush and toothpaste to talented girl Luo?

      Bai Ruoxi laughed: Of course I gave it to her, she wanted to know the effect as soon as possible, hehe, I used it last night and this morning, it's simply great, it's stronger than the brine or willow branch by a hundred times, I can definitely earn a lot from it.

      When it came to earning money, Miss Bai revealed her true colors as a merchant.

      Chen Ling also laughed: During the Autumn Hunt, you can start now, I'm sure you can make a lot of money, at that time, don't forget about my share of the profit.

      You're so annoying. Do you think I'm that black-hearted? Not even letting our allies go? Hehe, right, I got some people to advertise the news that you're from Level Two Warriors in Clear Stream Jade Workshop, there's surely a lot of people that want to buy you lose. At that time, your odds will be even higher, and we can profit from that. Bai Ruoxi said with a mysterious smile.

      Chen Ling stretched out his thumb, and praised: "High, truly high. First Miss, you are worthy of being a cunning merchant.

      I'll kick you to death! Bai Ruoxi became a cunning merchant from his burying, her face flushed red and she kicked Chen Ling's butt. Little brat, who are you cursing and spouting nonsense at?

      Chen Ling laughed out loud: Let's talk about this ink and paper, prepare to hold a promotional event after the Autumn Hunt, and then we will have a calligraphy exhibition, and let all the emissaries and famous people see, our Wei Nation's Bai Clan's four treasures will make a huge profit.

      Good idea, Brother Ling will do as you say!

      Right, has the paper been created yet? Chen Ling asked with concern.

      "It's about time. The bark, hemp, wheat, rice stalks and other materials have all been stored temporarily in a large stock. The bamboo shoot and leaves are still in the process of being transported to the to Wei.

      The so-called four-step process, the first is the separation of raw materials, by the method of leaching or cooking to let the raw materials in alkali liquid degumming, and dispersed into a strong fiber.

      The second is slurry, which is cut and hammered to cut the fibers, and the fibers are turned into a broom, which becomes pulp.

      The third is to make a copy, that is, the paper pulp seepage into the slurry, and then using the paper dredger (bamboo mat) to fish the pulp, so that the paper pulp on the paper dredger crossed into a thin piece of strong wet paper.

      The fourth is dry, that is, the wet paper to drive or dry, off the paper become paper.

      This craft was the same as when Chen Ling was looking at the Lecture Room in the past. After the scholar had explained the process of paper making, Cai Lun's paper making in the Eastern Han Dynasty was improved through the development of Jin, Tang and Ming dynasties. However, after the Han dynasties, although the craft had been perfected and mature, these four steps had not changed.

      Chen Ling was extremely satisfied upon hearing this. He looked at Bai Ruoxi and spoke with sincerity: "Ruoxi, what I plan to do, is not only to protect myself in the Chen Mansion, my goal is far more than that. I hope to cooperate with the Bai Family forever, however, this is a road of no return, and I do not wish for Eldest Miss to take the risk of participating.

      Bai Ruoxi naturally understood what he meant, and sighed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get back here, don't worry Brother Ling, Ruoxi will support you fully in your plans, and, I believe, in the future, Brother Ling will definitely not be an ordinary person.

      Chen Ling held the hand of the young miss.

      It was at this time that the guard reported from outside the door: Master Chen, an envoy that claims to be Yan Nation is waiting outside the gates of the palace to pay his respects to Master Chen!

      The envoy of the Yan Nation? Chen Ling and Bai Ruoxi looked at each other. They really could not understand, what was the purpose of the envoy from the Yan Nation coming to the Chen Mansion? Could it be due to admiration? Wasn't the Yan Nation at the brink of death, on the verge of annihilation? How could the envoys not seek help from the Wei, Zhao Nation, Chu Nation and the Qin Nation superpowers, how could they have the mood to come to the Chen Mansion to chat?

      CHAPTER 105 - THE SECRET OF LIFE

      "Could it be that Yan Nation wants to rope Brother Ling in? This Yan Nation is about to be swallowed up by him, the nobles and nobles of the Yan Nation have already fled and scattered. I heard that right now, there are only two forces left, the Queen Yi and Crown Prince Ping, there are still a few handicapped veterans and refugees who are unable to contend against Qi Nation. Bai Ruoxi said cautiously.

      Chen Ling nodded and said: "Ruoxi, help me gather as much information as possible about the latest intelligence and the people in power of the various countries, as well as their backgrounds, the relationships between the various countries, their reserves and troop levels, and then help me choose the twelve to thirteen year old male orphans from different places. You need to have excellent foundations, and you need to be clever.

      Bai Ruoxi's eyes flashed, knowing that Chen Ling was about to make a big move. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ling.

      Chen Ling smiled as he nodded and held the hand of the young miss, unwilling to let go. With the support of the Bai Family's wealth and resources, it wouldn't be difficult for him to rise to prominence in this chaotic world.

      "Ruoxi, go take a walk in the backyard and take a look at Yi'er. She's my concubine now, which means she's my woman, and I hope you can take care of her a bit more. She's from Yan Nation, and has lost her family and became a muse. Chen Ling answered honestly.

      Bai Ruoxi had long seen that the relationship between the two wasn't ordinary, and was already a little jealous. Who would have thought that when he said it out loud, she would turn the tables around, making it difficult for her to criticize him, so she asked: That's your family's matter, and I'm not your person, so why do you care so much?

      Ha ha! Chen Ling looked at Miss Bai's bashful and cute expression, and couldn't help but laugh: I also need Ruoxi to help me take care of my family matters in the future!

      The First Miss blushed and said, I can't stop you. Alright, this is what you want me to do. In the future, all the talented female Ji Nu s will be wild flowers. If you want to enter the Chen family again, hmph, it's going to be difficult.

      Chen Ling ran out of the study room and met the Yan Nation's ambassador in the hall. This time, two people came in, one was an old man in his sixties with white hair, with a pair of different eyes, looking like an old sage. The other was also dressed like a planner, middle-aged man, dressed in a grey robe, looking like a travel worn out servant.

      I am Chen Ling, what are your names? What business do you have with the Chen Mansion?

      The two of them looked at Chen Ling with shocked expressions, as though they had frozen in place. After a long while, the old man's eyes flickered with tears, his entire body shivering: Young Noble, you really do not recognize this old man?

      Huh? Chen Ling was confused, Young Master? This old official? Oh shit, what the heck?

      You are...

      I am Guo Wei, an old subject from two generations of Yan Nation, don't you remember these?

      Me? was secretly shocked. Yan Nation Guo Wei was a famous sage who had once served three generations of King of Yan.

      Could it be, that in my previous life, my body was really that of the Yan Nation's Young Noble?

      Chen Ling thought carefully about the scene when he teleported back. At that time, his body was obviously that of a noble brother, weak like the wind, powerless like a chicken, with delicate skin like a woman's. In Warring States Age, only noble sons could do such things.

      I'm sorry, I was severely injured on the battlefield in Wei Country and my brain was affected, so I can't remember a lot of things from the past. Chen Ling tried to answer.

      Seeing that the other did not immediately deny it, a sliver of hope appeared in Guo Wei's heart, and he said excitedly: Young Noble, could you let this old man take a look at Young Noble's right shoulder, and I will know the moment I see it.

      Chen Ling slightly nodded his head, he did not really notice what was behind him, and took off his gown, turning his back. After the two saw each other, their faces were filled with shock, and with two plops, they kneeled on the ground.

      Young master, we've finally found you! Young master, we've finally found you!

      This humble subject, Chunyu Zhen, greets Second Young Master!

      This time, it was Chen Ling's turn to be shocked.

      What the hell is going on? Chen Ling asked in disbelief.

      Guo Wei said spiritedly: Young master, three inches below your back shoulder blade, there is a imprint of a Phoenix Jade, that was left behind when young master sent a mission to various countries at the age of 11 as a protector, leaving behind the mark on your back, afraid that the Battle Country would become chaotic, if one day you were to go missing, you could rely on this method to return to the Yan Nation and reunite with the Queen, no mistake, you are the second young master of the Yan Nation, a flesh and blood relative of the Queen Yi, Ji Zhi!

      Ji Zhi? the second young master of Yan Nation! Chen Ling thought for a moment and recalled the day she teleported here. She was heavily injured and fell among the corpses on the battlefield, and later on when he was recuperating in the camp, Teng Hu and the others kept on calling him Yan Zhi, so it turned out to be like this.

      It must have been this Sir, who had heard that the Yan Nation was in chaos when she was acting as a proton and wanted to return home to seek an opportunity to obtain a position of power. However, she was captured by the Weiden's apoplexy and sent to the front of the camp to act as a soldier, killed with a single slash of hherblade. At that time, in order to conceal her identity, she had chosen to name Yan Zhi as his name.

      Young master's position! Yan Nation's second young master, could he be the Battle Nation's famous King Yan Zhao?! Chen Ling immediately reacted. Oh my, King Yan Zhao, that was during the Warring States Era, a wise king who was extremely talented. He was not one bit weaker than Qin Xiaogong and Zhao Nation's King Wuling of Zhao.

      According to the historical records, the Yan Nation was in a state of chaos at that time. With the support of the Queen Yi, the young noble used the power of the Qin Nation and the Wei Kingdom to fight against the Crown Prince.

      In order to erase the shame of the Yan Nation, the King Yan Zhao had constructed a golden platform at the shore of the Yi River, to attract the attention of the best in the world.

      At that time, the three brothers Yue Yi, Qin Kai, Zou Yan, Ju Xin, and Su Qin quickly rose to power, becoming a super power. They almost exterminated the Qi Nation.

      The great poet of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, once wrote a poem that praised these thousand years of history: Yan Zhaoyan Guo Wei, built the golden platform; Ju Xin Fang Zhao Zhi, Zou Yan will follow suit … …

      If I am really a replacement for the King Yan Zhao, he can do it, but he can also do it himself. Moreover, he can go even further and eliminate the other six heroes and the other small kingdoms' dukes', dominate the world, replace the Qin Shi Huang, and complete the ancient hegemony ahead of time!

      The change in status allowed him to be even more resolute in his fighting spirit and confidence. His name would go along with his wishes, and with his identity as the King Yan Zhao, he would be able to control power, rule the world, recruit famous people, and build a super Yan Nation.

      Very quickly, he calmed down again, because Yan Nation was on the verge of destruction. Outside, there were strong enemies from Qi Nation, inside, there was a Prince who was on her side, surrounded by Hu Ren, Gao Yali, and Zhao Nation who were eyeing him covetously. Her priority was to stabilize the situation, so that the Yan Nation could settle down.

      Young Master? Guo Wei and Chunyu Zhen knelt on the ground. Seeing Chen Ling at a loss, one moment calm, the other moment excited, their expression changing rapidly, they asked worriedly.

      suddenly regained his senses, his gaze becoming sharper, as though he had remembered something, and said: I, I seem to have remembered, that's right, when I was leaving Korea that day, I met Wei Bing midway, and brought me to the Wei Nation's camp. On the east side of the river, I was severely injured, and from then on, I can't really remember what happened in the past.

      Guo Wei and Chunyu Zhen then realised, but they were lucky to be able to find a Young Noble's
