Chapter 378

"They are nothing before you!"

"I wish to ride the wind and soar straight up ninety thousand li!"

"With merely one opportunity, you have successfully obtained the Great Liangzao that so many dream of, and gained the honor of nobility!"

"But... is one noble title enough?"

"It is simply not enough!"

"Your skills have already reached such a level; do you really intend to contentedly pay ninety percent of your taxes?"

"And then become an ordinary noble?"

"Do you not wish to obtain a nation, just like the former Zhao Guo, Qi, and Han?"

"No, no, no! A noble title is too small, too small to contain your skills!"

"Now, you only need to speak the truth of the final battle; after we succeed, we will grant you a nation!"

"And you will be the King of that nation!"

"K... King?"

After these words were spoken, Xiaoyaozi clearly swallowed his saliva!

"Is... is this... truly so?"

Wei Pao patted his chest: "Nobles always keep their word; how could there be any falsehood?"

The others quickly agreed: "Yes, we are nobles!"

"If nobles do not keep their word, they will be ridiculed!"

"And we fear being ridiculed the most!"

They all spoke thus, and Xiaoyaozi was almost in tears; he panted heavily for a long time, and finally, clenched his fist fiercely and said:

"I am not a man without faith and righteousness!"

"But I treated Facing Ying Su with pure sincerity, yet Facing Ying Su never had any trust in me!"

"I killed Li Yuanba back then; he will surely not let me go!"

"So now, even if I say something, it does not count as betraying him?"

Wei Pao said: "Of course it does not count; we each take what we need. Moreover, this is not only not betrayal, but removing a harm for the nation!"

"Look at what he has done since ascending to power! Life and land are devastated, the people cannot survive; now Xiang Yu leads four hundred thousand men to rebel against him, and we, the merit of founding Qin, also rebel against him!"

"The Great Qin today, under his rule, is tottering; it is not too far from the nation's destruction!"

"If you can switch sides, you are a righteous warrior; even Jing Ke, who assassinated Qin, is far inferior to you!"

"Jing Ke?"

After these words were spoken, Xiaoyaozi could not help but swallow his saliva!

Jing Ke, ah, is a person admired by countless people of the Jianghu!

But now, Wei Pao says that even Jing Ke is not as good as him?

These words simply made Xiaoyaozi feel a bit dizzy!

He took a deep breath for a long time, and finally spoke: "Facing Ying Su's victory report contains both truth and falsehood; it is true that Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu escaped with thirty thousand men!"

"But... his army's casualties were devastating; a single avalanche swallowed more than ninety thousand of them!"

"Many experts around him died; Qiao Feng, Lu Lu Zhishen, Lu Bu, and Cao Zhengchun were all swallowed by the heavy snow!"

"Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao also did not escape death!"

"The reason Facing Ying Su did not return immediately was not that he did not want to, but that he dared not; he also knows his current situation, so he must stay on the grassland to temporarily recuperate!"

"Later, he will have Zhuge Liang and Li Si secretly dispatch one hundred thousand men to escort him back!"

"Have Zhuge Liang and Li Si secretly dispatch one hundred thousand men to escort him back?"

After these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up brightly!

Everyone could not help but swallow their saliva: "Y... you... are you telling the truth?"

Xiaoyaozi nodded and said: "Of course it is true; there is a secret letter as proof!"

As he spoke, he directly reached into his robes and took out the letter from his chest!

"He asked me to deliver this to Li Si; I just did not have time to deliver it to him!"

While speaking, Xiaoyaozi handed the secret letter over to the crowd!

The appearance of this object simply made the large crowd ecstatic; for a moment, everyone was excited!

Wei Pao was even more extremely excited and was about to tear open this secret letter!

But... before he could tear it open, he was stopped by Seeing Ying Zheng!

Because there was a wax-seal formation on it!

Above the letter, there was also Seeing Ying Zheng's private seal and text written in his own hand!

Once torn open, it cannot be restored!"

And Li Si would become suspicious!"

But this did not stump the crowd!"

Among the crowd, an expert used a blade as thin as a cicada's wing to slowly pry open the wax-seal formation."

Finally, the content on that paper appeared before everyone's eyes!"

"Li Si, have Liang finds a way to bring one hundred thousand men to the grassland to protect the throne!"

"This matter must be kept secret; no one must know, not even Seeing Ying Zheng!"

The content on the letter was very short!"

But... this brief content simply made everyone's eyes shine, making everyone extremely excited!"

What does this mean?

This proves that Ying Su's strength has truly been greatly diminished now!

It represents an opportunity!

At that moment, almost everyone was excited!

But someone shouted:

"Wait!"

"Hmm?"

The crowd did not quite understand!

Young Master Gao said, "Such an important secret letter; why would Ying Su not send a trusted confidant, but instead have you bring it back to Xianyang City?"

Xiaoyao Zi sighed, "He wanted to send a trusted confidant, but... all the trusted confidants suitable for delivering the message are dead. Around him are only Zhang Liang, Wang Jian, and a few others. He feared that if these people entered Yan Sect Pass, they would not be able to get out, so he could only send someone as unimportant as me!"

"Furthermore, he made a promise to me: once he successfully returns to Xianyang, he will enfeoff me as a Marquis, and allow the Qierangdao Sect to flourish, making the Qierangdao Sect the number one great Men Sect in the world, and making Daoism the sole great school of the Great Qin!"

"Abolish the hundred schools, and revere only Daoism!"

"Abolish the hundred schools, and revere only Daoism?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned; Ying Su truly has such a huge audacity!

At the same time, some sneered coldly!

Daoism?

Can Daoism govern a country?

If we speak of the way of governing a country, Confucianism should be promoted first, followed by the further promotion of the law!

Because Confucianism emphasizes moral education, first establishing correct moral views for the world, and then using the law to correct them!

Although the law speaks only of laws, not of morals or human feelings, and is somewhat rigid, during times of war, it can obviously strengthen the nation!

Daoism?

What sort of thing is Daoism?

Rule by doing nothing?

The ruler does not manage affairs?

The imperial court does not manage affairs either?

Then what is the ruler for?

Then what is the imperial court for?

It is simply ridiculous!

Indeed, Ying Su does not know how to govern a country!

The crowd sneered coldly in their hearts continuously!

However, at this moment, the crowd did not care about these matters!
