Chapter 125 Mr. Dapeng’s Answer to the Emperor

Although the Zhou royal family had long since declined and existed in name only, whenever something happened, they would send people to reward them, for fear that someone would attack them.

The Zhou royal family helped Qin when it was in the most difficult time, and Duke Xiaogong remembered their kindness.

At the ceremony, the Qin soldiers sang: Qin has sharp warriors, who can compete with us?

This made the envoys from various vassal states present feel uneasy, as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast.

This is not just a song, but also a challenge to the princes.

This was telling them clearly that the Qin State was no longer the weak Qin State of the past. They had ended the humiliation and had truly become a country that was not afraid of any country.

The story ends tonight, and Wei Yang... no, Shang Yang's power can be said to have reached its peak.

It is unknown whether he will help Duke Xiao to dominate the princes and unify the world or retire at the right time and live a carefree life.

But he knew that the rest of the story would not be too peaceful.

Since the middle of the Warring States Period has begun, there will inevitably be wars for a long time to come.

There is not much time left for stability, and there is not much time left for the various vassal states to develop carefully.

Qin Sheng was deeply moved as he read the story. It seemed as if the story was not on paper, but a truly magnificent world was presented in front of him.

Amidst the flashing of swords and the flames of war, talented people emerged one after another, fully displaying their talents.

It actually gave him an urge to go to that world and see the people there.

It's a pity that time and space have separated too many things, making it impossible for him to go to that world, otherwise he would have been able to realize his true value.

Qin Sheng quickly collected his thoughts and looked at Chu Yian, his eyes shining: "Is this all I've written tonight?"

Chu Yian nodded and yawned: "I'll stop here and stop writing."

Qin Sheng hummed, put down the manuscript, hesitated for a moment, and asked expectantly: "Do you... have anything to say to the emperor?"

"He can't find you, so he has to use such a ridiculous method as posting an imperial edict to ask you questions. Do you want to pay attention to him?"

Chu Yian: ...

Things have come to this point. The good situation was all achieved by them working late every day. Why not seize it and let it slip away?

Can you ignore it?

Looking at the expectation in Qin Sheng's eyes, Chu Yian wanted to laugh but held it back.

She frowned and thought seriously for a long time, then nodded solemnly to Qin Sheng.

"Yes, I'll separate what I want to say to him from the previous content and write it at the end."

Qin Sheng nodded, looking forward to it even more: "What do you want to say to him?"

Chu Yian kept it a secret and didn't tell him directly: "Finish writing the previous part first and then I'll tell you."

Qin Sheng could only patiently write a sentence first: Thank you for your Majesty's trust, I have a word for your Majesty.

Chu Yian glanced at it and said dissatisfiedly: "No, don't write like this, you are lowering my style. There is no mystery. We should maintain the feeling of a master who is high above and pointing fingers at the world. Do you understand?"

This kind of photo is not cool at all.

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng took out another piece of paper and wrote a new sentence: I would like to give Your Majesty a word of advice, and I hope Your Majesty will take good care of yourself.

Chu Yian: ...

Chu Yian's expression was hard to describe: "There's no need to pretend like this."

If I write this out, I will be scolded to death. What brand of garbage bag does she use that can hold so much?

Qin Sheng looked up at her and said, "Don't you want to maintain the mysterious feeling of being the one who commands the world? Then how do you want to write it?"

Chu Yian pursed his lips: "I just want to maintain the sense of mystery, to make him feel that I am a master, a kind of fresh and unworldly feeling? No, it's the feeling of being out of the world and independent, the kind of immortal and otherworldly master, you know? I want that kind of mystery, not the feeling of looking for scolding or beating."

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng wrote a few more sentences, but Chu Yian was not satisfied with them. She always felt that they did not show her noble character, or she felt that what Qin Sheng wrote made people want to scold her and that she deserved a beating.

Qin Sheng was so frustrated that he simply drew a vertical line to separate the previous content, indicating that what you wanted to say should be written at the end.

Chu Yian's eyes lit up instantly when the line was drawn, and he stood up excitedly: "Ah, yes, yes, this is the feeling I want. If it weren't for guiding him, I wouldn't even bother talking to him, but I can't let anyone notice this feeling."

Qin Sheng: ...

I'm tired, really.

I really want to knock open Chu Yian's head to see what's inside. She just scolded Gongzi Ang for his many naughty actions, but she has done quite a few too.

As the night deepened, everyone had already fallen into a deep sleep. Only the dim candlelight was flickering in the house, casting a silhouette on the window.

Chu Yian's voice was clear and melodious, but his words were not particularly eye-opening. Compared with the book "The Great Qin Empire", they even seemed very mediocre.

But considering the current situation, Qin Sheng couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Something emerged from the bottom of my heart, spreading out in an instant like a flood, growing wildly.

He held the pen for a long time without putting it down. He felt as if something had hit his heart hard, making him stand there in a daze, staring blankly at Chu Yian for a long time without coming to his senses.

It was not until Chu Yian reached out and patted him that Qin Sheng came back to his senses from the goosebump-inducing trembling feeling.

He opened his mouth and seemed to have something to say.

But in the end, he said nothing. He just lowered his eyelashes and wrote each word carefully on the paper, stroke by stroke.

His expression was serious and solemn, as if he was doing something sacred and solemn.

Those words formed a sentence and ended at the end of the book.

Qin Sheng stared at the words for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up, put away all the manuscripts, opened the door, and immediately asked someone to deliver them to Qingshan Bookstore.

The owner of Qingshan Bookstore didn't even have time to look at the manuscript paper before he asked someone to prepare it for printing.

Only after the rubbing template was made did he pick up the manuscript paper and start reading it.

When I saw that sentence, my whole body was shocked and my mood was extremely complicated.

The imperial edict had caused such a big stir, how could he not know that this must be Mr. Dapeng's answer to the emperor?

He stared at the words for a long time, sighed deeply, and then ordered people to speed up the rubbing and increase the number of rubbings.

The news of the imperial edict shows that this book is now linked to state affairs. I don’t know how many people are waiting behind the scenes. This book will definitely sell out tomorrow.

If we continue to make rubbings in the same quantity as before, it will definitely not be enough.

Everyone rushed and finally put the book on the bookshelf when the sky was just beginning to turn pale.

Many people came to line up outside the bookstore before it opened. The shopkeeper observed quietly and saw that most of them were servants from the ministers' houses.

It seems that those people are also very concerned about today's latest content. Everyone can see that Mr. Dapeng is a pro-war person, but they still want to wait for a definite answer.

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.

When the bookstore opened, everyone rushed in and quickly snatched away all the books on the shelves.

The shopkeeper didn't even put the books that couldn't be stored in the warehouse today. Instead, he emptied the bookshelves and filled them with "The Great Qin Empire", but it was still not enough for them to grab.

All the remaining books were carried out, and only then was there enough space to deal with this group of people.

With such a large number of people, I am afraid that there are not only officials and students in Shengjing. Many people outside are waiting to receive the latest news and have also sent people to wait.

Otherwise we wouldn’t be able to sell so many.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat.

I wonder if Mr. Dapeng's stirring up of such a big stir will bring her into trouble.

I just hope she hides well enough and doesn't reveal her identity until the situation becomes clear, otherwise she will definitely be in danger of death.
