Ying Zheng and a group of trusted ministers gathered in front of the sand table to discuss Qin’s next target of attack.

“Do you think it is better to attack Chu first or Zhao?” Ying Zheng asked casually, looking at the incomplete map outside the seven countries.

“Your Majesty, Zhao’s 100,000 elite soldiers have all been captured. They are no longer able to launch large-scale campaigns and can only sit and wait for death. When our Great Qin marches eastward, it will be the day of their demise!” Li Si was the first to express his opinion, “The real threat to our Great Qin is Chu!”

“Chu has a territory of 5,000 li and a million armored soldiers. It is the only opponent that has a chance to compete with Qin!”

“This old minister agrees with the Chief Justice’s proposal. Although the State of Chu is large, the government is controlled by the three major families of Qu, Jing and Zhao. King You of Chu also does not have the support of the scholars. As long as the king implements the feudal system and sends Prime Minister Mi to the State of Chu to win the hearts of the scholars, the State of Chu can be easily destroyed.” Wang Wan expressed his opinion.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

“I do not agree with the feudal system proposed by the Grand Commandant.” Li Si retorted, “Brother Wan, aren’t the lessons of the Zhou Dynasty enough for us to reflect? The feudal system is a close relationship established by blood relations, but as time goes by, it will only become more and more distant, leading to war. The reason why Your Majesty wants to unify the world is to end the wars that have lasted for hundreds of years and make the world free of disputes. If the feudal system continues to be implemented, history will only repeat itself. Then what is the meaning of everything Your Majesty has done?”

“The feudal system may achieve temporary success, but the county system is the eternal foundation of our Great Qin!” Li Si responded sharply and did not give in, causing those who originally wanted to agree with Wang Wan to hesitate.

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, looked at the bored Han Fei, and asked, “Mr. Han Fei, do you think the county system is better or the feudal system is better?”

Han Fei attended this discussion as a guest official. He felt a little puzzled about his appearance here. He had just surrendered to Qin, and was asked to participate in such an important military and political event. Wasn’t he afraid that the information would be leaked?

What he didn’t know was that all this was arranged by Su Xuan, so that Li Si would work hard with him while he would sit back and enjoy himself, which was why he didn’t show up here today.

Han Fei scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and showed just the right amount of confusion. “With the national strength of Qin, it doesn’t seem to be difficult to destroy Chu.”

“Hasn’t Qin and the other six states already reached a conclusion on which is better, the feudal system or the county system?”

Ying Zheng smiled when he heard this and looked at Wang Jian and other generals, “Generals, do you have any good plans to destroy Chu?”

“I have something to advise you.” Wang Jian bowed and said, “Your Majesty, Chu has a vast territory and many soldiers. It is easy to defeat it but difficult to destroy it. I would like to lead 500,000 soldiers. Facing the overwhelming force, Chu will surely fight back with all its might. It will only take one or two years to completely conquer Chu!”

“Isn’t General Wang Jian too conservative? It took our Great Qin only 200,000 troops and one month to destroy the states of Han and Wei. Even if the Chu State is powerful, it will not be much stronger than the states of Han and Wei.” Mi Qi’s eyes flashed and he questioned.

Before Wang Jian could reply, Li Xin stood up. He looked confident and made a bold statement, “Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you as a warrior and ask for your permission to destroy Chu!”

Ying Zheng looked at Li Xin with interest and asked, “Do you have a detailed plan?”

“Chengfu is where the Chu army stores grain. I would like to lead 200,000 troops. As long as we capture Chengfu, the Chu army will be in chaos. By then, the Chu capital Ying will be within our grasp!” Li Xin spoke with confidence, his main point being that “I can do it, too.”

“Hahaha…” Ying Zheng laughed out loud, “General Li Xin is really courageous! The soldiers of the Great Qin should have such lofty ambitions!”

“General Wang Jian, do you have as much confidence as General Li Xin?” Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and asked with a smile.

“Your Majesty, we must be cautious about military affairs. The Chu general Xiang Yan is by no means an easy person to deal with!” Wang Jian frowned and reminded.

“Your Majesty, I am willing to sign a military order. If the army of 200,000 cannot capture Yingdu within half a year, I will be willing to be punished by military law!” Li Xin spoke immediately. He would not give up the credit that he had obtained!

In his opinion, although Wang Jian was mature and steady, he had also lost his sharpness. After all, this world still belonged to them, the young people.

This time, it is a good opportunity for him to show his skills.

“General Li Xin, you must know that there is no joking in the military.” Ying Zheng’s expression became serious and he asked again.

Li Xin replied with full vigor, “I am confident that I can destroy Chu. Your Majesty can rest assured!”

“Then you will be the main general and Meng Tian will be the deputy general in this expedition against Jingchu.” Ying Zheng nodded slightly, then looked at Changping Jun, “I want to send Prime Minister Mi to Chenying to contact the nobles of Chu to coordinate. Is Prime Minister Mi willing to go?”

Changping Jun was overjoyed and said, “I will serve the king even if it means death!”

A strange look flashed in Ying Zheng’s eyes and he shook his head secretly.

As for the matter of destroying Chu, he and Su Xuan had already worked out a general strategic plan long before discussing it with his ministers.

Changping Jun thought that he had done everything secretly, but he didn’t know that all his plans fell into the eyes of Ying Zheng and Su Xuan.

They did not alert the enemy, but instead took advantage of the situation. Changping Jun wanted to annihilate the Qin army, and why didn’t the Qin army want to annihilate the Chu army?

What if the Chu army came out in full force to fight them!

Only in this way can we destroy the State of Chu in the shortest possible time.

Chu State thought Changping Jun was a spy? He would tell Chu State that Changping Jun was a double agent!

The State of Chu loves to gamble, so let them lose completely!

There was a hint of amusement in Ying Zheng’s eyes. When the Chu State knew that Changping Jun was a traitor and their entire army was wiped out, their expressions must have been very interesting.

After deciding on the leading general to destroy Chu, the meeting came to an end.

Looking at the empty hall, Ying Zheng couldn’t help but think of Su Xuan.

The only one who openly asked him for a month’s leave was Su Xuan! But he couldn’t refuse because this guy asked for wedding leave!

Thinking of Su Xuan’s absurd behavior, Ying Zheng felt it was outrageous. How could he marry wives one after another like this? Being a bridegroom every night, could he bear it?

But it must be said that Su Xuan knew how to enjoy himself. Even Ying Zheng felt that he was not as free and happy as Su Xuan.

As for Su Xuan, mentioned by Ying Zheng, he was organizing the next wedding in an orderly manner, which was the wedding with Jing Wei.

Looking at Jingwei with her big belly, Su Xuan decided to simplify the process.

In the next half month, Su Xuan held several weddings in succession, first Jingwei, then Yan Lingji, Zi Nu, and Nong Yu.

As for why Madam Mingzhu was ranked last, it was because she had a wish that had not yet been fulfilled, which was to let Honglian share a husband with her.

Su Xuan had no choice but to complete the achievement of “One Dragon Playing with Two Phoenixes” when Madam Mingzhu called Honglian.

The price she paid was that her entire body was covered with Honglian’s teeth marks. Her look of shame and anger was still fresh in Su Xuan’s mind even after several days.

Chapter 238 Flower Shadow

Right Prime Minister’s Mansion.

In the courtyard, blue-purple gentian flowers are slowly blooming, with a rich and charming fragrance.

Mi Lian was swinging leisurely on the swing under the shade of a tree, with a smile on her lips, her cheeks slightly flushed, and a hint of anticipation in her eyes, because tomorrow was her wedding day.

Recalling what happened in the past half month, her expression was complicated.

When Su Xuan returned triumphantly, she wanted to throw herself into his arms and tell him how much she missed him, but her feminine reserve made her restrain herself.

What she didn’t expect was that Su Xuan actually held a wedding directly! And the hostess of the wedding was not her!

Although she knew that Su Xuan had many female confidantes, she still couldn’t avoid feeling lost and sad. And this was just the beginning. The successive weddings made her go from being shocked at first, to being numb, and then to being confused, until finally, she convinced herself.

Because every woman is not inferior to her. They all like Su Xuan, doesn’t it just show how outstanding Su Xuan is? He deserves to be liked by so many women!

If they can accept it, then of course she can!

“Lian’er.” A gentle voice came from behind. Mi Lian turned her head and saw a graceful and beautiful woman slowly walking behind her with a gentle look. “You are about to get married, but you are still like a child.”

The person who came was her mother Qu Yingjie.

The Chu State was different from other countries. It had clear class structures and nobles would only marry nobles. Her mother was a descendant of Qu Yuan.

“Mom, I’ve grown up!” Mi Lian said coquettishly, stood up, walked to her mother, stretched out her right hand to measure the height of their heads, and said seriously, “I am much taller than mother now!”

Looking at the graceful and charming Mi Lian, Qu Yingjie’s eyes flashed with a trace of trance. The child who was just learning to speak in her arms in the past is now about to get married.

She gently touched Mi Lian’s head and held her in her arms, “In your mother’s eyes, you will always be a child.”

Mi Lian’s face turned slightly red, feeling a little embarrassed, and she called out softly, “Mother.”

She buried her head in her mother’s arms and felt unprecedented peace of mind.

As Mi Lian expected, the wedding was held as scheduled. She wore her wedding dress, sat in the sedan chair, and smiled gently.

But soon, she found something wrong, because the journey that should have taken at most a quarter of an hour had not yet been completed after walking for more than half an hour.

She lifted the curtain of the car to see how long the journey would take, but the scenery she saw shocked her.

The place where she was now was actually a desolate and remote place!

What exactly is going on?

She was panicked and her eyes were full of confusion.

Before she could even ask, she felt her head getting dizzy and she passed out.

In the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Su Xuan looked at Mi Lian, who was covered with a big red veil in the bridal chamber, with a strange look on his face.

“Sister Mi Lian, have you missed me these days?” He was not in a hurry to lift the veil, but sat directly beside Mi Lian, put his arms around her slender waist, and held her in his arms.

Mi Lian felt the tingling sensation in her chest and her body stiffened slightly. She seemed to have never expected Su Xuan to take direct action. But it was okay. For her, this was a great opportunity.

“Today is a happy day, why doesn’t Sister Mi Lian say a word?” Su Xuan suddenly exerted force on his hands and asked in a cold voice, “Do you not want to say it, or can’t you say it?”

Mi Lian, who was originally nestling in Su Xuan’s arms, had a drastic change of expression. She shook her wrist slightly, and the dagger that was originally hidden in her sleeve fell into her hand and quickly stabbed towards Su Xuan’s heart.

The blade was sharp and the technique was skillful, it was obvious that he had been trained for a long time!

Su Xuan put his index finger and thumb together and held the dagger in his hand. The dagger, which was about to touch his robe, could no longer move forward.

Seeing that the attack failed, the man in front of him used his internal force and struck Su Xuan in the chest.

“Is that all?” Su Xuan snorted coldly, and all his aura burst out, directly knocking the person in front of him away.

Vermilion came out of her mouth, and the red veil that was originally covering her head fell to the ground, revealing a face that was 90% similar to Mi Lian.

Disguise? A gleam of light flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes, and he instantly saw through her true face.

Huaying covered her chest with her hands, and waves of twitching pain made her break out in a cold sweat.

What a strong strength! Before he even made a move, his aura alone had already caused her serious injuries!

“How do you know I’m not Mi Lian?” Hua Ying looked surprised and confused, not understanding why Su Xuan could see through her identity so quickly.

Su Xuanxin said that the touch feels different, how can you not feel it?

Moreover, Mi Lian’s figure is much more upright and well-proportioned than Huaying’s, and there is an obvious difference in their back lines alone.

Su Xuan knew her fake identity the first time he saw her. The reason he didn’t expose her to her face was just that he wanted to see what tricks she was trying to play.

Su Xuan looked at her coldly and was not prepared to explain to her.

Huaying’s eyes were solemn. After the first fight, she knew that the two were not on the same level in strength. When the assassination failed and there was no hope of escape, she decisively chose to end her own life by biting the poison sac in her mouth.

“Want to die? But it’s not that easy!” Su Xuan looked at her coldly, without any sympathy for her. He pinched Huaying’s cheek hard, and with his other hand, he punched her in the abdomen.

Huaying’s face was distorted, her body curled up into a ball, and with a “wow” she spat out all the poison sacs in her mouth.

“Do you know what time it is today?” Su Xuan pointed at the big red wedding character next to him, then looked at Huaying expressionlessly, “Today is my wedding day. If it were in the past, I might have shown mercy and let you end your life, but today, if you die here, wouldn’t this house become a haunted house? So I decided to make your life a living hell!”

Huaying’s face was ashen and she didn’t move. Long before the assassination, she had prepared for the worst. These threats were nothing to her; at most she would die!

“Where is Mi Lian?” Su Xuan threw her on the ground like garbage and looked at her with cold eyes.

Huaying smiled back, as if mocking, and still said nothing.

Su Xuan smiled slightly when he saw this, walked up to her, and took off the human skin mask on her face, revealing her original appearance. He lifted Huaying’s chin and said with a joking smile, “Playing dumb?”

“If I remember correctly, you should have a younger brother named Ji Bu. Do you think it would be difficult to capture Ji Bu alive with my power and status?”

Huaying panicked and glared at Su Xuan, “What on earth do you want to do?”

Su Xuan pinched her jaw and said word by word, “What do you want to do? Didn’t I tell you the truth? I will make you wish you were dead!”

“How about I capture your brother alive and cut off a piece of his flesh every day in front of you?”

“You can’t do this!” Huaying’s face was pale and she felt desperate, as if she had fallen into the abyss, because she knew that with Su Xuan’s power, as long as he was alive, he could indeed do this.

“Why, only you can kill me, but I can’t kill you and Ji Bu?” Su Xuan said sarcastically, “When you make a choice, you have to bear the corresponding consequences!”

“I’ll tell you where Mi Lian is! As long as you don’t do anything to Ji Bu, I can tell you everything you want to know!” Huaying’s eyes flashed, as if she was compromising.

Su Xuan smiled and shook his head, “I actually prefer the iron-willed look you had just now.”

“Besides, I don’t believe a word you say!”

Su Xuan directly used the soul-searching technique to read all of Huaying’s memories in recent times.

After getting the information he wanted, Su Xuan didn’t linger for a moment and headed straight towards Mi Lian’s location.

As for Huaying, he casually threw her to the Six Sword Slaves and asked them to imprison her in a secret room underground. At the same time, he ordered the maid to decorate a new wedding room.

If they cause trouble during his wedding, he will let them know how to write the word regret!

Chapter 239 Dize Twenty-Four

Thirty miles southeast of Xianyang is a sea of ​​red forest, where thousands of red maple trees grow. The color is deep and intense, like clusters of burning flames, ready to burn away all the filth in the world.

This red maple forest is called Luohuanglin. According to legend, a phoenix fell here long ago, hence the name.

In an open space, the six elders of the farming family gathered together.

The six elders are the Calendar Master, the Lord of War, the Disciple of Yu, the String Master, the King of Medicine, and the God of Grain.
