Through "friendly" negotiations between Chu Yuening and the system, she finally managed to get the price of the Heart-Searching Stone down to 20% off, successfully saving more than 2,000 merit points.
She raised her smug little face, grabbed her husband's slender hand, and her sparkling eyes only had three words written on them: "Praise me quickly."
Ying Zheng leaned over and kissed her rosy cheek, his eyes full of doting. He was generous with his praise, and his low, magnetic sweet words made the woman smile.
The little parrot, lying on the sofa, was in tears, its goose-yellow crest drooping limply, and its bright black eyes staring blankly ahead.
Woo woo woo...how come its little money flew away?
The system glared at the stingy host in impotent fury, only to find that the two were snuggling together and flirting, the sweet atmosphere seemed to be filled with pink bubbles.
"Ga-ga-ga!" (How disgusting!)
After cursing, the cowardly little parrot immediately ran away with a look of grief and anger in its eyes.
If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come.
It would be better to accompany Zhao Zhao to class. Although it is boring, at least you don’t have to be fleeced or eat dog food.
Looking at the system that flew away with a strange cry, Chu Yuening burst into laughter, with a hint of joy lingering between her curved eyebrows. She tapped the man's rolling Adam's apple and teased him.
"A Zheng, what should we do if we make Yi Yi angry now?"
"No problem. I'll order the palace staff to prepare a meal for it later."
"Hahaha, it seems A Zheng has found Xiao Yiyi's weakness~"
After playing for a while, the two suddenly remembered that they had not done any important work, so they quickly sat up straight, opened the mall interface and started buying the Stone of Conscience.
Chu Yuening first temporarily stored the Heart-Searching Stone in the system space, and then extracted two to observe carefully.
It has a grayish-white texture, is somewhat dull, is round in shape, and feels smooth and cool to the touch.
According to the system, its usage is extremely simple. Just place your hand on the center of the stone, concentrate your mind, close your eyes and sink your mind into it.
After the test, the conscience stone will emit a bright light. If it is pure white, it means the person has good character; if it is gray, it means the person has flawed character; if it is black, it means the person has committed serious sins.
"Yuening, do you want to give it a try?"
Ying Zheng looked at the ordinary stone with interest.
A single breath in the outside world is equivalent to ten years in the inner world... Is it really that magical? What is this so-called illusion?
Although he was very excited, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he smoothed down his wife's loose hair and asked for her opinion in a gentle voice.
As soon as the words fell, Chu Yuening's already eager heart was immediately ignited. She nodded in agreement impatiently, her little face full of curiosity.
Isn't this just like The Sims? It must be fun.
"Then A Zheng, let's get started together!"
"Yeah, okay."
The two men placed the two conscience stones on the table, placed their hands on the center of the stones, closed their eyes, and concentrated their minds.
After a moment of darkness and chaos, Ying Zheng regained consciousness, but his memory was blank and he only remembered the knowledge and skills he had learned.
He opened his eyes and saw an elegant and simple room. In an instant, the identity information flooded into his mind like a tide.
It turned out that the country he lived in was called Yao Kingdom, and its neighbors were Chen Kingdom and Yue Kingdom. The three countries had been fighting for hundreds of years, with constant friction and war.
To make matters worse, severe droughts, floods and heavy snows have occurred one after another in recent years, leaving people all over the world living in dire straits and starving people everywhere.
However, the current emperor of Yao Kingdom is incompetent, extravagant and hedonistic, and has no regard for the lives of the people. All the honest and upright ministers in the court were executed for giving advice and remonstrations, leaving only the corrupt officials who flatter him.
Therefore, the lives of the people of Yao Kingdom became increasingly difficult.
Finally, with nowhere else to go, they rose up in anger, but the timing was not right, the results were minimal, and they were quickly suppressed.
Ying Zheng, the magistrate of Xunyang County, faces a fateful decision: should he side with corrupt officials, or protect himself? Or...
"Please, sir, give me something to eat. My child has been hungry for three days..."
"Get lost! What kind of beggar dares to act wildly here? Don't you even know where we are?"
At the gate of the county government office, a fat and big-eared clerk kicked the ragged mother and son to the ground. His triangular eyes were full of contempt and disgust, as if he was looking at a few weak ants.
When Ying Zheng, who was dressed in blue official uniform, saw this scene, his eyes turned cold.
He strode forward and kicked the arrogant clerk hard, leaving him lying on the ground. His majestic voice was low and cold.
"You are fed by the people, so you can have enough food all day long. How can you be worthy of humiliating them?"
"County, County Magistrate, I have made a mistake, please forgive me, hehe..."
The heavy corpse fell to the ground with a "bang", and the still warm blood flowed out, slowly gathering into a pool of blood.
The beggar mother and son stared at it blankly. When they realized what was happening, they screamed and trembled with fear.
Ying Zheng shook off the blood beads on the sword, put it back into the scabbard, and then ordered other minor officials to give some hot food to the mother and son.
Even though Ying Zheng had forgotten his glorious past, his ambition and aspirations still flowed in his bones. He was not born to be inferior to others.
With careful planning, he took control of the military forces of Xunyang County, and other officials followed suit and joined his army.
From then on, Xunyang County was completely under his control.
Day after day, year after year, Ying Zheng gradually took control of several counties, a prefecture, and half of the country, competing with the royal forces.
In fact, everyone knew that the royal family was just resisting stubbornly, and King Ying Zheng of Qin was destined to overthrow the old dynasty and bring about a new one.
