The first thousand one hundred and sixty-eight chapters
More than ten years ago, Zilanxuan appeared in Xinzheng, South Korea.
The goal is simple, to gain momentum and avenge the ancestors. Nearly two hundred years ago, South Korea destroyed the Zheng Kingdom and imprisoned the entire family in the cold palace, where they have been slaves for generations.
The descendants of the Zheng royal family were extremely humiliated, extremely humiliated, but...as descendants of Zheng Zhuanggong, they still survive to this day.
The national hatred that South Korea inflicted on Zheng Guo will eventually need to be repaid.
Originally, everything was ready, and I thought that the night would quietly lead South Korea to its demise. I never thought that Han Fei appeared. His appearance was a variable, an anomaly.
Moreover... although Han Fei didn't know the origins of himself and Zhuang, as a descendant of Guigu Zongheng, Zhuang's appearance in Xinzheng was an unusual thing in itself.
So... then there was quicksand.
That was Zhuang's compromise, Zhuang's recognition, and even more Zhuang's appreciation. Han Fei might be able to reverse the trend of Korea, and maybe they would build a new... country together.
Because... Zhu Xia's general trend is superior. Even if he and Zhuang destroyed Han and restored Zheng, they could not stop Qin's majestic power.
Quicksand appeared.
It appeared for South Korea, for the State of Zheng, and for the countries of Shandong.
However... years of hard work have all come to nothing.
South Korea still fell.
King Han was imprisoned, but died in Zhuang's hands.
Han Fei died in front of Xinzheng. Before his death, he gave the red lotus to himself and to Zhuang.
Zifang went to Songhai.
After several twists and turns, he and Zhuang came to Lanling and rebuilt Zilanxuan.
However... knowing all the things in the past, where will their future be?
The grievances on him have been settled, and the humiliation suffered by his mistress in the past is gone. It is enough for him to manage Zilanxuan and survive in troubled times.
Where is Zhuang?
He is a disciple of Guigu Zongheng, and his senior brother Ge Nie is showing off his knowledge in the Qin State. Moreover, Zhuang has never been a person who is willing to be ordinary and has never been a person willing to admit defeat.
Among the descendants of Guigu, only one can become Guiguzi and continue the legacy of Guigu.
Being trapped in the city of Lanling is not what Zhuang wants.
And red lotus!
She... her country was destroyed, her family was destroyed, her relatives were all gone, and she was the only one left.
In troubled times, how will she fare in the future?
"road?"
"There is no road between heaven and earth."
"The roads... are all made by walking."
The man in black said coldly.
There is no emperor above, there is no magistrate below. If you attack with all your strength, the winner will be on the right. That is the way of Gui Valley, and it is also the way of Gui Valley, but it is not the only way of Gui Valley.
Everything comes first. If the Yuanfang Gate is to move forward, it must have a central position and an invincible position.
"Are you waiting...?"
Having stayed with Zhuang for so long, I naturally know what Zhuang means.
Her elegant brows moved slightly, and her enchanting figure turned to look at Zhuang in the quiet room.
When he was in Xinzheng, South Korea, Zhuang was waiting for an opportunity, and later that opportunity fell on Han Fei.
Nowadays, we still need to find the right opportunity and cut into it before we can put it to good use.
But no matter how he waits, Zhuang Suomou will definitely be inseparable from Gai Nie, because Gai Nie is also a disciple of Guigu. Now Gai Nie is an important minister of the Qin court and can participate in political affairs.
So, is Zhuang waiting for an opportunity to resist Qin?
Or something else?
Otherwise, how can we compete with Gai Nie?
After the crisp voice finished, the man in black didn't say anything, his eyes still focused on the bamboo slips in front of him.
"That's all."
The woman in purple had no choice but to do this.
I looked up at the scorching sun outside again. It was the middle of the morning, and it was time to deal with some things about Zilanxuan.
Every day, although Zilanxuan makes a lot of profits, it also has to bear considerable pressure. Fortunately, compared with the pressure it endured in Xinzheng, it is already small enough.
Buzz!
Suddenly, on the table, shark teeth appeared spiritually, and their instincts trembled.
"Shark teeth?"
The woman in purple who was about to leave felt this, and her beautiful eyes fell directly on the shark-tooth sword. The sword had been held in Zhuang's hand for many years, and was washed with the power of its origin, so it naturally became spiritual.
Now, how can it tremble automatically?
Moreover, the sword body generates mysterious light, as if it senses something different.
"Um?"
At the same time, in a simple wine shop one mile away from Zilanxuan, the same sword trembled. Looking at it, a man in white who was drinking tea raised his eyebrows, held it in one hand, and poured in real energy.
within it.
After a few breaths, it calmed down.
"How could Yuan Hong be like this?"
It hasn't been long since I held Yuan Hong in my hand, but this was the first time I had seen such a vision of Yuan Hong. I felt the tremor of Yuan Hong carefully. After a while, my eyes looked into the void, and my spiritual sense felt that I was looking at a certain place.
"That's all, go and give these things to Mr. Tianming first."
I simply ate something, threw down a few coins, picked up a package, and left the wine shop with my sword in hand. According to the information I received, Mr. Tianming should be at the Spring and Autumn Library in the city at this moment.
It was established there by Can Jian, a disciple of Zhao Guoxing City Library, and others. Of course, it was no different to the man in white.

Spring and Autumn Library!
Located in the Dongcheng area of Lanling City, compared to the bustling north and south urban areas, Dongcheng District is quieter. As for Xicheng District, it is where the government and many administrative offices are located.
The size of the library is not large, and it is much worse than the Xingcheng Library in the past. Even so, it is a huge expense to occupy an area in the prosperous Lanling City and open a library.
The first four Chu characters are imprinted on the wooden board and hung on the lintel to make them visible.
"Brother, you have to go and come back quickly."
Today, Can Jian took ten junior brothers, junior sisters, and some attendants to the west of Longxi with various summer brocades, silks, medicinal herbs and other items purchased from Lanling.
After planning for many days, the marching route was also discussed and decided, starting from Chu State, crossing into Nanjun and other four counties of Qin State, going north from Shujun, entering Longxi County, crossing two counties in Hexi, and entering the countries in the Western Regions.
A journey of thousands of miles would probably take a month or two just to travel, and it would take such a long time to return. It would take half a year to go back and forth.
This was still successful.
A long line of carriages carrying goods lined up. Looking at his senior brother and others, Feixue could only look at them like this. It was impossible to stop them, and he could only hope that his senior brother would gain something.
"Junior sister, on weekdays, you should stay in the library and teach the students."
"If you really encounter difficulties, go to Little Saint's Manor and they will help."
Wearing a light blue robe, it doesn't show off the brocade, it's just made of coarse linen. Even so, the whole body still exudes a different kind of peaceful aura.
He nodded to his junior sister and then looked at the other people left behind in front of him. Everything had been given.
Xingcheng Library and Xiaoshengxian Village come from the same family. If there is a problem, Xiaoshengxian Village will not sit idly by and ignore it. Moreover, the road is now also in Xiaoshengxian Village, and it seems to be doing well now.
Finally, the old owner’s efforts were not in vain.
"Tianming, my junior sister and I promised your mother and Knight Han Shen that we would take good care of you."
"This is Lanling City. Far away from the current disputes among the Xia, it is a stable and peaceful place for cultivation. Next, how about you stay here for a while?"
Junior sister's temper has changed a lot in recent years. At least she still listens to her words in her heart. Unlike before, even if she did listen, it would just be ignored.
Apart from the junior sister, the only one who is worried is Tian Ming.
He is a smart child, but... just because he is smart, he is a little worried, because he can't figure out what Xiao Tianming might do in his absence.
His identity is somewhat special.
Some people may know that he is the prince of Qin, but that would be a disaster.
Therefore, regarding Tianming's origin, even within the library, only he and his junior sister knew about it, and the other junior brothers and junior sisters did not say much.
Not saying too much is to avoid possible troubles.
"I will take good care of..., um,...Mr. Gainey!"
He spoke leisurely, and although he was not yet truly an adult, there was already a different kind of heroism between his eyebrows, and there was also a different kind of nobility in his gestures.
With a delicate face and a light yellow robe, he was dressed the same as the rest of the people in the library. He looked at the broken sword in front of him, listened to his words, and had no choice but to respond like this.
I... still have a lot to do.
What's more, Zhu Xia was so big that he had no family other than Xianyang Palace. Maybe Jing Ke was really his father, or maybe Han Shen and Gongsun Yu were his ancestors.
However... everything is in vain. I don't know what I know. The Lanling under me may not last long, but staying here for now is still a good choice.
He wanted to say more, but his weak spiritual sense felt it, and his eyes moved directly from Can Jian's body to another place, which was on the opposite side of the broad street in front of the library.
At this moment, a man in white appeared there, holding a long sword and carrying a large package, looking at him with a smile.
