Chapter 95

No general in the Qin State could ever defeat Wang Jian in a sand-table duel!

What does this Ying Su mean?

Sending one of his generals to challenge me?

Is he trying to intimidate me?

Wang Jian's eyebrows knitted tightly!

Finally, he wiped the white lime from his face, gave up pretending, sat directly opposite the sand table, and said to Han Xin: "Please!"

At that moment, the two of them, surrounding the sand table, began to slaughter, began to clash!

The black flag represented Wang Jian, while Han Xin represented the red flag!

At that moment, the red and black flags clashed on the sand table!

On the other side!

In the back garden of Wang Jian's residence!

It was quiet here, with only Ying Su and Wang Lan.

Wang Ben and Wang Li actually wanted to follow along.

They wanted to see what Ying Su intended to do to Wang Lan!

Why, with so many people in the Wang family, did he only want to find Wang Lan!

They were truly extremely uneasy!

But... they dared not! They absolutely dared not!

Outside the back garden were the two hundred garrison soldiers led by Yu Yu Huatian.

Inside the back garden, six eunuchs and temple servants, newly led, stood far away in the distance, waiting at all times to serve!

And Ying Su was kneeling on the mat, facing Wang Lan!

However... at this moment, Wang Lan was far less lively than before.

Looking at Ying Su, there was panic, and there was fear!

"Are you afraid of me?"

Ying Su smiled and looked at her!

Recalling the scene three months ago when this little girl suddenly appeared before him, he still felt somewhat amused!

Wang Lan gripped the corner of her clothes, looked up at Ying Su, and finally nodded, saying: "A little!"

"Oh?"

"Why?"

Ying Su asked while pouring himself a cup of fine wine from the wine pot.

But after taking just one sip, he shook his head and poured the wine away.

Finally, he beckoned to Chong Xin!

Chong Xin understood instantly!

He immediately brought over a small bottle.

At the same time, temple servants and eunuchs quickly carried over plates, each containing various pastries and various fruits.

The moment she saw the pastries, Wang Lan's eyes lit up.

Although she did not know what those things were, yet... merely looking at the white turning red, the red turning white, and then at their exquisite appearance, the light in her eyes flashed incessantly!

Watching Ying Su pick up a pastry and take a bite, she involuntarily swallowed her saliva lightly.

At this moment, she was truly about to cry from craving.

Finally, without realizing it, she stood up from her side, and then leaned toward Ying Su!

Seeing her like this, Ying Su almost laughed out loud; he directly picked up a pastry and smiled at her: "Want to eat?"

"Mm, mm, mm, mm!"

Wang Lan's eyes shone, and she nodded repeatedly!

Ying Su smiled: "You can eat if you want, but you must tell me why you are afraid of me!"

"Ah?"

Wang Lan was conflicted, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Ying Su directly handed her a pastry: "It's fine, eat it; you can speak after eating!"

"Mm, mm!"

Wang Lan nodded repeatedly, and finally picked up that pastry and took a bite!

And with just that one bite, she felt her whole body fly up.

Soft and glutinous, melting in the mouth; this... this was a taste she had never experienced before!

Especially... there was also a sweet fragrance that almost intoxicated her.

In the blink of an eye, after finishing one, she actually wanted to eat the next one.

But Ying Su stopped her and smiled: "You must keep your word; you finished one, but you haven't said yet why you are afraid of me!"

Wang Lan sighed: "Alright! But you must promise me, after you know, you won't get angry!"

Ying Su said: "Fine, I promise not to get angry!"

Wang Lan said: "They say you are not a good person, and moreover, when you get angry, you kill people indiscriminately!"

"At first, my curiosity about you was only because I learned that you rebelled and, bringing only one person, killed the fifty thousand garrison soldiers of Outside Xianyanggong!"

"I was extremely curious about you, so I wanted to see you!"

"But... this time, I am not curious about you; I am very afraid of you!"

"Because... I have personally seen how the people under your command kill!"

"That Huang Chao, he was too ruthless. Bai Qi's family had three hundred people, yet he forcibly killed them all until only a steward and a child remained!"

"Some say that if our family hadn't been sensible, you might have killed everyone in our house as well!"

"My father, my grandfather, and my brother—none of them could have survived!"

"They all say you are not a good person, that you are a bad person, a demon, so... I am very afraid of you!"

Ying Su nodded, smiled, and looked at Wang Lan, saying, "Then do you think I am a good person? Or a demon?"

Wang Lan frowned: "Hard to say, very hard to say!"

Ying Su said, "What is so hard to say? If you think I am a good person, then I am a good person; if you think I am a bad person, then I am a bad person!"

"Ah?"

Wang Lan was stunned: "Isn't that too arbitrary? That is too unfair to you!"

Ying Su laughed:

"Is not the world just like this? To judge whether a person is good or bad, where is the need to listen to what others say? One only needs to follow the heart!"

"Take my father the Emperor as an example. In my heart, he is a peerless monarch who unified the world, one who pacified centuries of war, and is the supreme Emperor!"

"But in the hearts of many common people, he has no such halo; he is merely a tyrant, a butcher!"

"Even... in the view of many common people, if there were no Ying Zheng in this world, they would have already been living a peaceful life!"

"Do you think the father the Emperor in my heart is the real Ying Zheng, or is the Ying Zheng in the hearts of the common people the real Ying Zheng?"

At these words, Wang Lan's brain buzzed!

After a moment! Only then did she open her mouth and utter a few words: "All things carry yin and embrace yang; the vital breath mixes them to create harmony!"

Once these words were spoken, Ying Su was surprised and could not help but glance at the Wang Lan before him!

Because she had quoted a passage from the Tao Te Ching!

All things carry yin and embrace yang; the vital breath mixes them to create harmony.

And the meaning of this passage is that everything has two sides; applied to the level of good people and bad people, it means no one can be judged simply as good or bad!

At that moment, he looked at Wang Lan and could not help but smile!

In his eyes, a touch more appreciation appeared!

This woman is truly not simple; she possesses wisdom in her heart!

She sees things clearly!

He praised inwardly while simultaneously handing a pastry to Wang Lan, opening his mouth to smile and say:

"Then tell me, are you still afraid of me now?"

"Ah?"

Wang Lan was stunned; seeing how close she was to Ying Su, at that moment, she instantly returned to her own side!
