Chapter 262

~8 min read 1,480 words

After Nianduan heard Su Xuan's words, how could she not know that Su Xuan had come prepared!

The other party was determined to tie her to the Qin Guo and pull her into the Yin-Yang School.

She had said earlier that the path of medicine was complex and that ordinary people could not easily enter the door, and he immediately said that there were two departments in the Yin-Yang School—the Gold Department was proficient in alchemy and medicine, and the Wood Department understood the principles of plants. This was a response to her previous words.

She had said that she did not want to have any involvement with the Qin Wang, and Su Xuan gave a new choice: join the Yin-Yang School and teach the disciples of the Yin-Yang School. That way, there would be no need for the Qin Wang to fund the establishment of an academy, and many physicians could also be taught.

Of course, these were not the most critical points.

The most critical point was the proposal Su Xuan mentioned later, which Nianduan was truly moved by.

Since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, many eloquent scholars of the Hundred Schools of Thought have written books and established theories, which have been widely circulated. Not only are they famous in the world, but they can also be passed down to future generations and remain in history forever.

Nianduan did not seek to remain in history forever, but if she could create a medical book useful to the present world and even future generations, she would naturally not hesitate to do so.

Su Xuan made a lot of sense.

There are many diseases that are not complex, but it is only because the patients cannot see a doctor in time that they eventually die. If a medical book can be compiled, as long as the person reading the medical book is literate, they can prescribe the right medicine and treat the illness according to what is recorded in the medical book. There is a high probability that it can be cured.

Although these are all common minor illnesses, if this move is successful, at least many people's lives can be saved. After all, the world is truly too big.

"Master!"

Duanmu Rong could not help but look at her master, Nianduan, after hearing Su Xuan's later words.

If Su Xuan were not a Qin person and this were not the Qin Guo, faced with such a proposal, especially the magnificent feat Su Xuan spoke of, she might have agreed. But precisely because this was the Qin Guo and the Yin-Yang School was used by the Qin Guo, Duanmu Rong hesitated.

She could not help but look at her master, not knowing what her master was thinking.

Was she continuing to maintain her previous attitude, or... was she wavering?

Nianduan seemed not to have heard Duanmu Rong's words. She began to think seriously about Su Xuan's proposal. After thinking for a long time, even though she was very moved, she did not answer Su Xuan immediately but said to Su Xuan, "Regarding your proposal, I need to consider it carefully."

"This is as it should be."

Su Xuan was an understanding person. If the other party wanted to consider, he had always been willing to give the other party time to consider, just like when he invited Zinu to return to the Yin-Yang School in the Zhangtai Palace earlier. Zinu also said she needed to consider it.

It's just that I don't know how she is considering it now.

After Su Xuan exchanged medical skills with Nianduan and revealed his intention to recruit her, he left.

"Master, are you really going to agree to his invitation?"

After Su Xuan left, Duanmu Rong hurriedly asked Nianduan.

Nianduan was silent for a while and said, "Whether to agree or not, I still need to look around in this country and consider it again before I can give an answer."

When she said such words, it proved that she was indeed moved.

The master and disciple continued to stroll in the Qin Guo, observing this country that could be called mysterious to them.

Su Xuan also returned to the Yin-Yang School and formally fulfilled his duties as Sect Master.

Usually, in addition to cultivation, he would occasionally try to guide the cultivation of the Yin-Yang School people and make changes and additions to Yin-Yang arts.

However, although he was in a state of semi-cultivation, he still knew something about the things that happened after the destruction of the State of Han.

First of all, because the State of Han was the first country to be destroyed, and because the Qin army reached the outskirts of Xinzheng and the people in the city surrendered voluntarily, Seeing Ying Zheng treated the captives of the State of Han quite generously.

Ji Yihu, who helped the Qin Guo easily take Xinzheng, was rewarded by Seeing Ying Zheng.

Regardless of what kind of person Ji Yihu was, this time, he had indeed made a great contribution.

However, from the fact that he took the initiative to betray his country for glory when the country was in trouble, don't expect Seeing Ying Zheng to reuse him. The current reward was just to put his mind at ease. After the affairs of the State of Han were over, it would be the time for Seeing Ying Zheng to settle accounts with him.

Besides Ji Yihu, the culprit who directly led to the destruction of the State of Han.

Others, such as the Crown Prince of the State of Han and the Fourth Young Master Han Yu, were also granted titles by Seeing Ying Zheng and then raised in Xianyang. It seemed to be generous treatment, but it was not.

Before Seeing Ying Zheng granted them titles, they were either young masters, enfeoffed lords, or crown princes, and their status was already extraordinary. Accepting Seeing Ying Zheng's reward was equivalent to recognizing Seeing Ying Zheng as the King and considering themselves as subjects.

But they could only accept it. In the end, if they didn't accept, they would have to die. If they accepted, they could still live as a wealthy man. Of course, this so-called living was also living under the surveillance of the Qin Guo.

To put it bluntly, after the destruction of the State of Han, their life and death were already beyond their own control. Even being treated generously now was because the Qin Wang looked at the fact that the State of Han was the first to be destroyed and looked at Han Fei's face.

For the rest of their lives, they were pigs raised in a pigsty by the Qin Wang.

Sometimes, being a pig is actually quite good. At least, there is no need to worry about state affairs or worry about the people.

The premise is that they can walk out of the destruction of the country.

Some people walked out of this matter as time passed, while others were brooding and found it difficult to forget this matter for a long time.

Not long after the banquet held by Seeing Ying Zheng in the Zhangtai Palace that day, Wei Zhuang resolutely left the State of Han.

In the confrontation with Gai Nie, he lost, and the State of Han had been destroyed.

Now, there was not much time left until that decisive battle. He needed to find more powerful strength, not only to defeat Gai Nie but also to defeat Su Xuan.

Before this, Wei Zhuang only thought that Su Xuan was extremely powerful, and every time he saw Su Xuan, he could not help but be shocked by the power he mastered.

But after the destruction of the State of Han, he felt his own weakness from the bottom of his heart.

If he could have been stronger that day and could have defeated Su Xuan, he would not have had his food and grass robbed by Su Xuan, which led to the destruction of the State of Han so quickly.

The destruction of the State of Han could be considered indirectly related to him.

Wei Zhuang's departure was a matter of course for Su Xuan. It was Zinu who did not follow Wei Zhuang's departure that surprised him. It seems that as time passed, Zinu also gradually made a decision.

On this day, Su Xuan saw Zinu.

Behind her was Nong Yu.

The State of Han was destroyed, and many officials and their families in Xinzheng became captives. Some people's endings might not be very good, but Nong Yu and these people, because of Han Fei, were all treated well. Her mother, Lady Hu, and her aunt, Beauty Hu, were all pardoned and now lived in Xianyang as ordinary people.

"Welcome back, Ziyan!"

After getting a positive reply from Zinu, Su Xuan said this to Zinu.
