Monk Jueming naturally did not understand what the King of Qin said.

But as a time traveler, Ning Yi easily understood what he meant.

The teacher's poem "沁园春·雪" is not only heroic in its intention, but the second half also mentions the Qin Shi Huang, Han Wudi, Tang Taizong, Song Taizu, and even Genghis Khan, a great conqueror who had not yet been born.

The Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and even Emperor Taizong of Tang were actually all pretty good.

But Song Zu was not a person from this world, not to mention Genghis Khan who had not yet been born.

From this perspective, the second half of the poem is indeed somewhat inappropriate.

However, Ning Yi knew that the word "inappropriate" mentioned by the King of Qin actually had another meaning.

After all, this poem was written by the teacher. This guy brought out the teacher's poem and stared at him saying something like "inappropriate". This is a metaphor that the later style is inappropriate now!

...He wants to be emperor!

And he was the emperor of a traditional feudal dynasty!

This thought suddenly popped up in Ning Yi's mind.

After understanding this, the King of Qin's motive for killing him is not so surprising.

No, to say that he wanted to kill him would be a bit disrespectful to King Qin, or even to Ning Yi himself.

In Ning Yi's opinion, the ambush on the Yangtze River was at most a test, warning or showdown by the King of Qin.

Ning Yi didn't believe that the King of Qin really wanted to kill him. Otherwise, the people who ambushed him on the river last time would not have been the mob of Liangshanpo, but elite naval soldiers equipped with cast iron cannons.

Thinking of this, Ning Yi sighed in his heart and a look of regret appeared on his face.

"Really? That's such a shame. Such a heroic statement cannot give us a glimpse of the whole picture. It's really a great regret in life!"

Upon hearing this, Monk Jueming nodded, as if he agreed deeply.

King Qin stared at Ning Yi closely, then suddenly smiled and said, "Actually... it's not impossible."

"oh?"

Monk Jueming was cheered up and looked at King Qin with a slightly expectant expression.

Ning Yi was also very interested and acted as if he was listening attentively.

King Qin smiled and said, "I have always loved Mr. Ning's poems. If Mr. Ning really wants to see the whole poem, why don't you follow me back to the palace? I am willing to make an exception for Mr. Ning and fetch the calligraphy of that elder for you to appreciate together!"

“…”

After these words were spoken, Monk Jueming finally realized that something was wrong.

Although he was not clear about the tacit understanding and jargon between time travelers, he was still very sensitive to the political and purposeful nature of social interactions.

As soon as the King of Qin said this, Monk Jueming immediately saw the other party's ultimate goal -

Although it may not be correct, but judging from the meaning, the King of Qin is planning to poach people from the Prime Minister's Mansion!

I just don't know where the King of Qin learned Ning Yi's name, and how he knew his abilities...

Monk Jueming frowned slightly, then smiled: "Your Highness Prince Qin, I have always liked poetry. This Qinyuanchun is full of heroic ideas. It is the only heroic poem I have ever seen in my life. I am very happy to see it. If I am lucky enough to see it, I really don't want to miss it. I wonder..."

Monk Jueming did not finish his request, but left some room.

As expected, the King of Qin showed an embarrassment on his face. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Wang, it's not that I don't want to, but it's really that my elder hated Buddhism and Taoism the most when he was alive. You..."

"Amitabha, I see."

Seeing that the King of Qin had said so much, Monk Jueming could only clasp his hands together regretfully and say no more.

Ning Yi had been watching silently at the side. Seeing that the King of Qin blocked Monk Jueming's request with his elders' preferences, he smiled and said, "Your Highness the King of Qin has condescended to invite me, so I naturally have no reason to refuse... Please go first, Your Highness!"

The King of Qin was delighted and laughed loudly: "No, no, no, please go first, sir!"

In front of Monk Jueming and many servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the King of Qin put on a lot of attitude.

Ning Yi had no room to refuse and could only follow him out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Arriving outside the prime minister's residence, Ning Yi couldn't help but be slightly amazed at the gorgeous cast iron carriage and the more than a hundred palace guards beside it.

Before going to the capital, he had heard that the current emperor was extremely fond of the Prince of Qin, his second legitimate son. Now he saw that it was indeed true.

"Mr. Ning, please!"

King Qin smiled and waved, motioning Ning Yi to get on the carriage.

Ning Yi glanced at the three extremely strong armored guards behind King Qin, suddenly smiled, and stepped onto the carriage.

Soon, the huge convoy started moving. King Qin sat opposite Ning Yi. He raised his hand to open the curtain, signaling the accompanying guards to stay away, and then looked at Ning Yi with a smile.

"Ning Yi, we finally meet."

"Yes, we finally meet..."

Ning Yi expressed the same sentiment as King Qin, and then asked with a smile: "The ambush outside Jiangning City was arranged by you, right?"

Hearing Ning Yi's straightforward words, King Qin was not surprised, but just looked at Ning Yi thoughtfully.

"It seems that the three heroes of Tiannan are indeed celestial beings like you and me..."

"...A celestial being?"

Ning Yi burst out laughing.

The King of Qin was not annoyed. He glanced at him and said, "How else? Should I just say those three words?"

Ning Yi smiled and said, "Why not?"

The King of Qin shook his head and said: "When in Rome, follow the local customs. I need this identity to maintain my innate wisdom and mystery."

Ning Yi did not comment, and then asked: "Then how did Your Highness know that the Three Heroes of Tiannan are also... celestial beings?"

"Ning Yi, stop pretending!" King Qin laughed. "You killed Chen Yayuan, the chief detective of the Six Gates. Only Wenren Buer knew about this. Logically, you shouldn't have guessed it was me, but you guessed that I told the Chen family the news, and you were not surprised. This means that the Three Heroes of Tiannan are also time travelers who have foresight about the future, just like me..."

"Well, so you should already know your future destiny, right?"

Ning Yi nodded, showing approval: "Indeed... So it was you who really killed Jiang Ning?"

King Qin nodded calmly, then shook his head: "It was indeed me who revealed the news that you killed Chen Yayuan to the Chen family, but the subsequent series of actions were all done by the Chen family on their own initiative and have nothing to do with me."

Ning Yi shook his head and said, "That's not how it's calculated, right?"

King Qin glanced at the expression on Ning Yi's face and suddenly smiled and said, "I know you have a grudge against this, but since you have learned about the future from the Three Heroes of Tiannan, you should also know that you will kill the king and rebel in the future, right?"

"I am the second son of my father, the King of Qin of the Wu Dynasty. I am second only to two people and above ten thousand people."

"I am targeting you in advance because it is my position as a member of the royal family. It has nothing to do with my own likes and dislikes."

"What's more, I know that you have Lu Hongti, the 'Iron Sword of Rivers and Mountains', and the Three Heroes of Tiannan, who are known as 'Three Men Can Defeat Thousands of Troops'. The Chen family alone will never kill you..."

Ning Yi smiled and said, "So this is a test, or a warning?"

The King of Qin nodded calmly: "That's about right... We are all adults, so let's not talk nonsense!"

"This king does intend to test you. There are two main reasons. One is the impossible world line of regicide, and the other is your own ability and the fate of the so-called destiny protagonist!"

"If you die because of the Chen family, then this king will not have any regrets."

"But if you can really turn danger into fortune and show the talents and methods of the Ning Ren Tu in my impression, then I am willing to grant you the position of Prime Minister of Qin and form an eternal alliance with you to rule the world together!"

As he spoke, the expression on King Qin's face became more serious, and his aura became heroic and arrogant.

If it were any other indigenous literati, faced with the King of Qin's attitude, they might have immediately bowed down in submission.

But Ning Yi was a time traveler after all. He was surprised for a moment, then laughed and said, "We are all materialists. Let's forget about something as empty as an oath. Besides, I don't know Your Highness well enough..."

The King of Qin smiled and said, "You don't understand me, but I understand you."

"I know that as long as I am wise enough, you will be a minister I can entrust my son to."

"Ning Yi, think about it!"

"Besides this king, who else in this world can fully trust you and understand you?"

"Is it my father, the emperor, or the crown prince, or the right prime minister Qin Siyuan?"

The King of Qin shook his head, with a hint of contempt in his eyes: "Ning Yi, look at the Bianliang City outside, it's just a pile of broken bricks and tiles, but those people call it a prosperous era... Hey, you frog in the well, how ridiculous!"

"In this whole world, only you and I know, or have seen, what a truly prosperous world is!"

The King of Qin spoke in a heroic manner, and Ning Yi knew that what he said was the truth.

However, he also understood that all this was based on the King of Qin becoming emperor and holding absolute power.

This guy is ambitious, decisive and capable of taking action, but he also has an extremely strong desire for power.

Ning Yi considered his words and said softly, "No matter what I say... you want me to help you seize power and usurp the throne?"

The King of Qin laughed when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "No, I will not usurp the throne. I will naturally take over this huge empire, and then appoint you as Prime Minister. You and I will work together to revive the Wu Dynasty and let all nations pay tribute to us. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

Ning Yi heard extreme confidence in his words, so he asked curiously: "What did you do to the prince?"

The King of Qin glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Nothing. At the beginning of last year, the Western Regions merchant caravan under my command returned to the capital and presented a set of exquisite silver tea sets. I liked it very much."

"It just so happens that the prince is visiting my palace."

"The prince has always been jealous of my favor. He has liked to snatch my favorite things since he was young. When he saw that I liked this tea set, he took it away from me in his capacity as the prince. He was so proud of it that he loved me and loved my dog ​​too..."

"According to what I have heard, to this day, the tea set is still placed in his study, and he always makes tea for pleasure."

After listening to this, Ning Yi couldn't help but sigh: "You will suffer for your own mistakes... If I am not mistaken, that tea set should not be made of silver... but lead!"
