[Wuxia] Hunting Beauties in the Qin Dynasty (Complete) - Chapter 12

Chapter 58 Slaughter in the Swamp
Update Time: 5-27 18:31:02 Words: 3238

As night fell, a long line of men in black, resembling a dragon
, moved through the swamp. These men were all dressed in black county government uniforms; to prevent glare, their swords were wrapped in cloth. They moved swiftly and silently.
The group of over a thousand men quickly entered the swamp under the moonlight. Using the water plants as cover, they quickly split into more than ten groups, like a black stream disappearing into the sea, leaving no trace in the swamp.
"Partridge..."
A clear bird call came from afar, followed by more than ten similar calls along both sides of the straight path.
Long Lin sat in the swamp, a wooden plank under his buttocks, nodding with satisfaction, his mind wandering to the images of the beauties selected from the south.
Everyone shared his thoughts. Because this group was a pack of lecherous wolves.
"Master, everyone is in position!"
Eagle Eye quietly approached and reported to Long Lin.
"Good!" Long Lin nodded, glancing through the gaps in the water plants at the straight path. "Order everyone: from now on, no one is to move without permission. Anyone who exposes their position will be court-martialed!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ying Tong replied, relaying the order before turning back to ask, "How's Tianba doing?"
Long Lin smiled slightly. "That kid Tianba is still getting a good night's sleep. Tomorrow is his chance to shine. Hmm, all those mud traps need to be finished before the moon sets."
"Don't worry, Master. We've already thoroughly investigated this swamp and brought plenty of planks. If those soldiers dare to chase us in, we guarantee they won't return!"
Ying Tong laughed, taking out a water bottle and handing it to Long Lin.
Long Lin slowly took a sip of water, silently reciting an incantation, and the iron-cast rifle bayonet appeared in his hand.
"This thing is really good. If everyone had one, wouldn't we be able to sweep across the world?" Long Lin glanced at the empty Ruyi bag.
Indeed, if this bag were used as individual soldier equipment, its powerful storage capacity and lightweight design would undoubtedly significantly enhance the unit's mobility and continuous combat capability. These two factors are crucial in determining the outcome of a war, whether in the era of firearms warfare or cold weapon warfare.
Of course, another factor determining victory is the soldiers' morale and quality. However, in this respect, these mountain bandits are clearly far superior to the pampered Qin soldiers.
The Qin soldiers are no longer the invincible and unstoppable force they were during the War of the Six States. Whoever is more ruthless will win! This is the law of war in Long Lin's eyes. During the War of the Six States, the Qin soldiers were ruthless; now, these mountain bandits are the ruthless ones.
Wooden planks were laid across the deep swamp, forming the perfect trap. And those thunderbolts would be a nightmare for the pursuing Qin soldiers.
Meanwhile, another group dressed in yamen uniforms had already arrived at a small ravine behind the valley, with a middle-aged, fat man in iron armor riding on horseback.
He was Guan Youzheng, the magistrate of Dang County. Just yesterday, after having his fill of pleasure with the former magistrate's concubine, he cruelly strangled her to death. The two maids who went to prepare the food and wine also fell victim to the clutches of his two guards.
The former magistrate's historical traces in Dang County had been completely erased.
"Go, check if Fire Dragon Stronghold has arrived yet,"
Guan Youzheng said to the guard beside him, stroking his mustache.
Soon, a guard reported seeing Fire Dragon Stronghold ambushes on both sides of the valley. Guan Youzheng smiled sinisterly, glanced at the setting moon, and jumped off his horse.
A soft couch had already been laid out on the ground; Guan Youzheng wanted to get a good night's sleep to replenish his energy for catching those two big fish tomorrow. Of course, in his dreams, he didn't forget to enjoy himself with the beauties from the south.
"Creak...creak..."
"Giddy up...giddy up..."
More than ten large four-wheeled carriages slowly traveled along the straight road, each escorted by a squad of five hundred Qin soldiers. A large seal script character, "美" (beauty), was emblazoned on the high-flying banner.
Judging from the weary faces of the cavalrymen, they had traveled a long way. They had been carrying over two hundred beautiful women all the way from the southernmost part of the Qin Kingdom, and were utterly exhausted.
As for the women, they could only catch a glimpse of them from afar during rest stops, without even a chance to speak to them up close, let alone refresh themselves.
Meanwhile, the bloated beauty selector and his men sat comfortably in the carriage. Although they couldn't touch the women destined for the emperor, at least they were spared the dust and could enjoy the fragrance of their cosmetics.
"General... this is a damn chore. I'm never doing this again,"
a tall, thin Qin soldier said weakly, leaning back on his horse and resting his spear diagonally on the horse's head. He had thought that coming along for the beauty pageant would offer some advantages, but it turned out to be such a miserable job.
"Stop complaining. This is better than being dragged to the battlefield. Right now, we're the safest ones. Some places have already seen rebellions!"
the Qin general said.
"Rebellion?"
The tall, thin Qin soldier immediately straightened up, instinctively gripping his spear. "The Qin army is at its peak now, who dares to rebel?"
"Who dares to rebel? Hmph..."
the Qin general sneered. "Right now, only our Imperial Guard is still at its peak. The others have long lost their will to fight!"
This tall, thin Qin soldier had never participated in a formal war, but upon hearing this, he became excited again. "It's good that someone rebels, then we'll have a chance to kill the enemy and earn merit!" The
Qin general scoffed, but remained silent. He knew that military merit was hard to come by. Back then, he had participated in the Three Kingdoms War during the Six Kingdoms' conquest, facing death more than ten times before finally earning the title of Imperial Guard commander.
If it were now, he would rather not go to the battlefield again than risk his life for military merit. Now, if he could safely deliver the two hundred or so beautiful concubines behind him to Xianyang, he could command three thousand soldiers and become a true general.
No one would willingly go to war.
"Whoa... halt!"
The Qin general's gaze fell on the valley not far away. He reined in his horse and raised his left arm to command the troops to stop.
"Scouts... scout ahead, two li!"
the Qin general coldly ordered.
"Yes!"
Two riders rushed out beside him, one of them the tall, thin Qin soldier who had spoken earlier.
The two horses galloped away, returning shortly after, reporting that they had found nothing unusual. The Qin general frowned slightly, ordered the entire army to be on alert, and then set off.
The main force safely passed through the valley and reached the open area ahead, where they gradually relaxed. He had been suspicious because he had vaguely seen flags waving on both sides of the valley in the distance.
"How could this be? Why isn't Fire Dragon Stronghold ambushing us?"
At this moment, the magistrate of Dang County jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly. The two scouts were terrified and dared not utter a sound.
"All troops, proceed and keep watch on the American team from a distance!"
Guan Youzheng, the magistrate of Dang County, calmed himself down and shouted loudly.
As Guan Youzheng was reorganizing his troops and leading a thousand soldiers through the valley, he heard distant booming sounds and shouts of battle.
The Qin general in charge of protecting the beauties never expected an ambush in this narrow, straight stretch of muddy terrain. Any general, given the choice of ambush location, would have chosen the valley they had just traversed, not this muddy area.
However, he had to admire the intercepting force; they weren't ordinary bandits, but rather soldiers from Dang County! They were well-trained and seemed prepared, divided into more than ten groups, each a hundred men, specifically targeting the weak points of the Qin soldiers' defenses.
Moreover, on this long, straight path, the Qin army's forces couldn't maneuver effectively and couldn't provide support from the front or rear, forcing them to fight independently. However, the Qin general wasn't overly worried, as they were, after all, regular Qin soldiers, far better equipped than these local militia.
"Protect the chariot of beauties, archers!"
General Qin shouted the order, and a volley of arrows rained down, instantly killing a line of nearby soldiers who fell screaming into the reeds.
However, General Qin then discovered that the crossbows were useless, as the soldiers had already raised their heavy wooden shields.
"Speed up! Charge!"
General Qin roared, spurring his horse forward with his scouts.
However, he hadn't expected that over a hundred men stood firmly in the middle of the road, blocking their path. The leader was a thin, pale-faced man with gleaming eyes, holding a strange weapon horizontally in his hand.
"Traitors dare to intercept my Great Qin army! Kill them without mercy!"
General Qin roared, brandishing his spear and spurring his horse forward like lightning. He was confident that his two hundred cavalrymen, with their powerful crossbows and the force of their charge, would be enough to scatter these weak infantrymen and tear open a gap.
However, he was wrong again.
"Bang!"
Eagle Eye pulled the trigger, and a wisp of light gray smoke rose from the muzzle of the rifle bayonet.
The Qin general on his galloping horse suddenly stiffened, his hands slipped, and he fell wildly from his horse, rolling motionless in the dust. His forehead had been ripped open, and bright red blood and white brain matter blurred his face.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
With each gunshot, the dozen or so Qin soldiers charging in front fell. Eagle Eye slung the bayonet back onto his horse, drew his Long Clan's first-generation large-caliber pistol, and shouted, "Charge!"
The hundred or so Fire Dragon Village soldiers behind him shouted in unison, raising their spears and charging forward.
However, just as the Qin soldiers retreated, Eagle Eye stopped his charge and burst into laughter, for he saw that Long Lin and his men had already intercepted the carriages of beauties, carrying the trembling beauties off the carriages, stuffing them into cloth bags, and rushing into the swamp.
"Retreat!"
Seeing that Long Lin and his men had finished seizing the beauties, Ying Tong coldly gave the order, leading his men into the lush, muddy swamp.
"Chase them!"
The Qin soldiers, thrown into disarray by the carnage, reacted, sending a group into the swamp to pursue them, while the rest turned their horses back to the straight road to intercept the soldiers who had entered the swamp.
When the magistrate of Dang County arrived with his men, they encountered the enraged, bloodthirsty Qin army!

Chapter 59 Beauty Yu'er
Update Time: 5-28 18:08:17 Words: 3364

Emerging from the swamp and climbing a nearby hill, the brothers of Fire Dragon Village tore off their black soldier uniforms, gazing smugly at the distant scene of the beauty guards and the Dang County soldiers fighting amongst themselves.
Untying each pocket, a fragrant breeze wafted out, and one by one, beautiful and delicate women emerged. Their terrified and pitiful appearances were heartbreaking to witness.
They were all dressed in matching brocade robes, each one carefully huddled together with their arms crossed, looking fearfully at the menacing bandits.
"You...who are you?"
an old, haggard woman, seemingly there to look after the beauties, stammered.
"Damn it, we're the kings of Fire Dragon Village in Dang County. We're inviting you to be our wives. Are you willing?"
Eagle Eye chuckled wickedly.
The beauties shook their heads in terror, but seeing Long Lin's cold gaze, more than half began to nod.
However, Long Lin's gaze wasn't on them, but rather on the face of a short, beautiful woman at the edge of the crowd.
Since being released from the pocket, this woman had been biting her red lips, remaining silent, her eyes showing none of the fear the other women displayed, and ignoring Eagle Eye's threats.
"You...come out!"
Eagle Eyes, seeing Long Lin's gaze and trying to decipher his meaning, also noticed the woman's unusual nature. He pointed his spear at her and spoke.
She gracefully stepped forward, standing before the crowd, coldly scrutinizing Long Lin with a hint of stubbornness and arrogance in her eyes.
From childhood, she seemed to know nothing of fear.
Although a girl, in her hometown, no boy dared to speak loudly in her presence.
Long Lin stared intently into her eyes, a faint smile on his face, and nodded slightly.
She merely raised her chin, offering no response.
"What's your name?"
Long Lin sat on a rock, fiddling with the bayonet in his hand.
"Chu Yu'er..."
she spoke slowly, her voice sweet and gentle, yet remarkably calm. Her composure seemed to influence the other women as well; they all fell silent, watching her intently.
"Going to Xianyang to become Qin Shi Huang's concubine, was that your own choice?"
Long Lin's heart skipped a beat. He recognized this woman as extraordinary and asked.
"Yes!"
Chu Yu'er replied again. Ever since the beauty pageant officials arrived in her hometown, she had her master pull strings to arrange a meeting with them. With her beauty, charm, and singing and dancing skills, she undoubtedly became one of the local beauties.
"And you?"
Long Lin nodded, then turned to look at the other women.
The women all shook their heads. For them, becoming the emperor's wife wasn't a good thing. Everyone understood that Qin Shi Huang had violently conquered the six kingdoms and imprisoned all their concubines together, indulging in debauchery. Marrying Qin Shi Huang meant a life like that of a prisoner.
"Then why are you willing to marry Qin Shi Huang?"
Long Lin smiled faintly, glancing at Chu Yu'er again.
"Willing, just willing, no reason,"
Chu Yu'er said. Although this bandit didn't seem like a martial bandit, she still didn't have a good impression of him, and naturally couldn't tell him her true feelings.
"Good! Very good... May I ask where you are from, young lady?"
Long Lin nodded, paused thoughtfully for a moment, and then asked.
“Yuxi Village, Jiangdong,”
Chu Yu’er said.
Long Lin laughed and said, “Please bear with me, young lady, and enter the bag yourself. We’re leaving!” He stood up, glanced at the battle below the mountain, and said to Ying Tong, “Let’s go back to Fire Dragon Village!”
Chu Yu'er didn't speak, turned around, walked to the sack, and crawled inside. The remaining beauties, knowing they couldn't escape, all crawled into the sack themselves.
Ying Tong waved his hand, and the soldiers of Fire Dragon Stronghold carried the beauties, following Long Lin down the mountain.
At the edge of the swamp, a desperate battle was unfolding.
Of the more than a thousand beauties' protection team, only seven hundred remained after Long Lin's surprise attack. Moreover, the death of their commander had further fueled their ferocity, and the once-mighty Qin army seemed to have regained its former glory.
Seven hundred iron cavalry, wielding excellent crossbows and longswords, launched a series of bloody charges against the Dang County garrison.
"Kill!"
The tall, thin Qin soldier, witnessing the death of his general, whom he considered a father and brother, was filled with hatred, his neck veins bulging, as he shouted a hoarse but powerful command. He was already covered in blood, but the enemy's blood continued to rain down on him.
Magistrate Guan Youzheng of Dang County was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected these Qin soldiers to attack them without any explanation, and they were all charging like madmen.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Guan Youzheng shouted from his horse, and more than a dozen of his personal guards ran back for their lives. When he saw the dark mass of Qin soldiers in black armor charging towards them, he was so frightened that he fell off his horse. With
the two groups of Qin soldiers facing each other, everyone realized that they had all been tricked by the Fire Dragon Stronghold.
"Damn those Fire Dragon Stronghold bandits, they are so cunning!"
Guan Youzheng collapsed to the ground, crying loudly.
Of the more than a thousand yamen soldiers, less than a hundred remained. Of course, the beauty pageant team also suffered heavy losses, with less than two hundred remaining.
However, Guan Youzheng was, after all, a county magistrate, and in the face of danger, he still had some composure. After crying, he calmed down and, on the way back to Dang County with the beauty pageant team, he consulted with the Qin general from Dangzhou and killed all the remaining people.
The beauty pageant team was completely wiped out, except for the beauties captured by Long Lin and his men.
Guan Youzheng was certainly not stupid; if these people were left behind and the matter were leaked, his life would likely be in danger. After returning, he immediately wrote a memorial to the prefectural government, reporting that he had joined forces with the Qin army of the prefectural government to annihilate more than a thousand bandits from the Fire Dragon Stronghold who had attacked the beauty pageant team. The beauty pageant team, outnumbered, was completely wiped out.
A disaster had turned into a great victory in the blink of an eye. After paying off the Qin soldiers and generals of the prefectural government with a large sum of money, Guan Youzheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah...ah...Your Majesty, no..."
On the bed, Long Lin was vigorously plunging into a beautiful woman with snow-white skin. The woman was only in her twenties, but she was voluptuous and had skin as smooth as water. Southern women are known for their passion, and even her soft voice was so beautiful when she begged for mercy, making Long Lin's evil energy surge.
Long Lin strictly forbade anyone from violating these beauties, but he himself was an exception.
Actually, he hadn't intended to take advantage of these beauties, but this particular beauty was disobedient and even killed a soldier from Fire Dragon Stronghold in the chaos, trying to escape. Therefore, Long Lin had to be polite and give his brothers an explanation.
The beauty struggled desperately, but how could she possibly overcome Long Lin's immense strength? With a mere flick of his wrist, he threw her onto the brocade bed, easily tore off her clothes, tied her hands to the headboard, and her legs to the footboard. Then, he picked up his iron spear, leaped onto his horse, and
after Long Lin had powerfully broken through three thousand rounds, the beauty was completely limp, her cries of cursing and begging for mercy silenced. Only then did Long Lin, disinterested, dismount from her and order her to be dragged out and locked up with the other beauties.
On one side was wicked punishment, on the other, perfect hospitality. The remaining beauties were sent to the inner cave of Fire Dragon Stronghold. Besides having guards assigned to protect them, they were provided with food and drink. Long Lin even specially assigned female soldiers from White Horse Stronghold to work on them.
Originally, Long Lin planned to recruit these beauties into his camp, turning them into soldiers for the White Horse Stronghold. However, after he had finished with one of the beauties and was fast asleep on the brocade couch, he changed his mind.
He had dreamt of the mysterious woman named Qing'er again.
"Long Lin, you must help me! This is the perfect opportunity,"
Qing'er said.
"How?"
Long Lin frowned.
"Disguise yourself as a beauty pageant contestant, lead ten beauties into Xianyang Palace, and someone will meet you there!"
Qing'er said.
"Where are you?"
Long Lin asked.
"Once you reach the palace, you will naturally meet me. Don't forget my father's important request. Also, don't touch them again."
After Qing'er finished speaking, her emerald green figure disappeared into the depths of Long Lin's dream.
Long Lin suddenly woke up, remained silent for a moment, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Young Master, those beauties are perfectly calm!"
Qi Xian stood outside the door, her shapely figure accentuated by her tight-fitting outfit, making her incredibly eye-catching, especially her exquisite black leather trousers that revealed half of her snow-white legs, enough to make anyone's blood boil.
"Oh..."
Long Lin responded, still thinking about Qing'er's words in his dream.
Qi Xian smiled sweetly, her fragrant jade face close to Long Lin's, her large eyes looking at him with a detached yet affectionate gaze: "What's wrong, Young Master? Something on your mind?"
"No..."
Long Lin smiled calmly.
"Young Master, you're amazing! I just heard that beauty say that she's determined to marry no one but you!"
Qi Xian's red lips brushed against Long Lin's ear, her warm breath quite pleasant, but these ambiguous words almost made Long Lin vomit blood.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true... Young Master, but you are truly unforgettable!"
Qi Xian's soft body was already pressed against Long Lin's, her bright eyes flashing with a fiery light.
Long Lin, inhaling the fragrance, couldn't help but sigh inwardly that he had almost turned Qi Xian into a demon, a demon capable of draining men dry. Looking at her alluring appearance, the anger he hadn't vented on the other beauty surged up again.
"Is that so? Then this young master will make sure you never forget it again!"
Long Lin said with a wicked smile, reaching out to pull Qi Xian inside and casually closing the door.
"Sister... why don't I hate him? Instead, I miss him a little?"
Inside the Fire Dragon Cave, the beauty who had just been violently assaulted by Long Lin lowered her head, her face flushed to the roots of her ears, and whispered to Chu Yu'er.
"He's not an ordinary bandit. Actually, you were too reckless. It's clear he didn't intend to harm us; we didn't need to provoke them,"
Chu Yu'er sighed.
"Yes, when he brought me back, I knew I was wrong!"
the beauty said.
"He did this clearly to save you!"
Chu Yu'er said, gazing at the sunlight streaming through an open window high in the cave wall.
“I know… so I think I’ll stick with him for life! Oh, right, sister, you’re so capable, why don’t you try to escape?”
The beauty blinked and asked.
Chu Yu’er smiled calmly, “No need to rush, we’ll definitely get out. I’m just staying here to find out why he’s staying in this mountain stronghold as a bandit.”
The beauty shook her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Chu Yu’er said, “Rest well… you’ll never understand my story.”

Chapter 60: Palace Guards
Update Time: 5-31 14:49:06 Words: 3225

The majestic city of Xianyang, like a crouching tiger, sits on the banks of the Wei River.
On a vast plain to the east of Xianyang, a magnificent garden-style palace is rising.
This palace stretches for ten miles in length and width, with tens of thousands of rooms in its center. Each section boasts a different landscape, from the verdant bamboo groves and waterfalls of the south to the flowing streams, fishing ponds, and lotus ponds of the north.
After conquering the six states, the King of Qin took in six thousand beauties for his harem, building a grand garden to house them. He also constructed the Six States Garden, incorporating the most beautiful scenery from each of the six states. Lush green grass, jade flowers, cranes, and deer—everything imaginable was there, a breathtakingly beautiful sight, like entering a fairyland.
Of course, nothing beats the beauty of the women. Countless beauties graced the palace, a dazzling array of sights, a cacophony of voices, and a vibrant tapestry of red and green. Every morning, the beauty would rise to dress, the light reflected in the mirror gathering into a cluster of colorful clouds in the sky. Every evening, the water from her bath would flow into the Wei River, filling the river with a fragrant aroma that could be smelled for dozens of miles .
This palace, personally named by the King of Qin, was called the Epang Palace. No one knew its origin, but some speculated that it was the name of one of the Qin Emperor's most beloved beauties.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine!"
Long Lin nodded and bowed slightly.
A fragrant breeze wafted by, and the Imperial Concubine, swaying her hips and holding her head high, walked past without even glancing at him.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Consort E!"
Long Lin nodded again and bowed slightly.
"No need for formalities!"
A seductive voice rang out, capable of melting bones. This beauty, whom Long Lin called Your Highness the Consort E, winked at Long Lin a few times with her captivating eyes, pointed her handkerchief diagonally westward, and swayed her slender waist as she entered the garden.
Long Lin watched the alluring figure of Consort E, clad only in a thin veil revealing a large expanse of her snow-white back, recede into the distance, and cursed inwardly, "You slut, just wait till tonight I get my hands on you!"
He was currently in the Epang Palace, clad in bright yellow armor and a golden helmet, holding a long spear with a red tassel painted with gold powder, standing before the circular gate, responsible for guarding the Zhao Garden.
Following Qing'er's instructions, Long Lin impersonated the captain of the beauty escort team, escorting ten beauties to Xianyang.
According to Qin law, those who neglected their duties or suffered defeat without cause were sentenced to death. The captain had lost his entire army and over a hundred beauties, which, by rights, should have been a capital offense.
However, Long Lin had managed to escort the beauties to the palace despite the defeat, and one of the Qin emperors particularly favored him, so he was spared the death penalty, only demoted from captain to ordinary soldier, and punished by being sent to the Epang Palace as a golden spear guard.
Upon entering the Epang Palace, even with Long Lin's extensive experience, he couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. There were simply too many beautiful women here, all kinds, dazzling the eye. Some were aloof, some alluring, some gentle, some fiery—yet every single one was a beauty chosen from among thousands.
Long Lin finally understood why Qin Shi Huang had built the Epang Palace to house the surrendered concubines of the six states. No one could bring themselves to kill such beauties.
However, Long Lin still thought about the beauty named Chu Yu'er. It wasn't that her looks were far superior, but rather that her aura was truly unfathomable. In her calm eyes, he sensed a strange chilling intent, an expression that could never be faked without special training.
He had been to a grueling training camp and participated in special agent training; he was familiar with top-tier female agents, and that kind of gaze was something only those who had undergone special training possessed.
Long Lin didn't harm her, handing her over to the King of Qin unharmed. Long Lin secretly wondered, this Chu Yu'er must have some unknown secret.
"Sigh! He Wei... what are you thinking about?"
A soldier, also clad in bright golden armor, approached, swaying with each step, seemingly lacking energy.
"Nothing..."
Long Lin paused slightly, then smiled calmly and shook his head. He had impersonated someone else to get in; He Wei was the name of the beauty pageant captain who had been shot dead by Eagle Eye.
"I thought this was a good job, but it turns out to be even more tiring than going to the battlefield. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be drained dry by these people soon!"
the soldier sighed.
"Didn't Consort Xin send over tiger penis soup this morning? You can't replenish it every day, can you?"
Long Lin shook his head and smiled.
"Even with replenishment, I can't withstand the drain... these ladies are all reincarnated starving ghosts; they'll never stop wanting more."
the soldier said.
"Shh... brother..."
Long Lin winked at the soldier and then quietly pointed into the distance. Three women in palace attire were turning around from behind the artificial hill and walking towards them.
The soldier was startled and quickly straightened his back.
"Greetings, Consort Xin!"
Holding his spear, Long Lin and the soldier spoke simultaneously.
"Little Wei... um, things are a bit unsettled at my place tonight. Go and keep an eye on things."
Consort Xin was a round-faced, slightly plump woman. She glanced at Little Wei, then left with two palace maids.
Long Lin chuckled at the soldier, who sighed and staggered away.
Qing'er didn't appear, but Long Lin seemed to sense her watching him from somewhere. The Epang Palace was vast, and as a lowly guard, he couldn't wander around freely.
"Damn it, now that I'm here, I have to find a way to contact Qing'er first, otherwise my plan to help Liu Bang ascend the throne and obtain the Five Emperors Bell will be difficult to achieve,"
Long Lin thought to himself. Seeing that it was still early, he simply stood there and began to cultivate his Intent Sutra.
The Twelve Zodiac Animal Form and Intent Technique had been completely integrated into his Intent Sutra. He practiced it silently in his mind to enhance his mental power. According to the explanation in the *Yi Jing* (意经), if one can cultivate their current will into two, they can create a clone, like Bai Xiunü, possessing an identity different from their own.
The so-called will is actually a person's thoughts. Ordinary people's thoughts are chaotic and numerous, not pure, so it's difficult to generate power, and only one thought can be generated at a time. Therefore, it has virtually no power effect.
But Long Lin is different. His willpower is now quite pure and powerful. With a single thought, he can instantly hear faint sounds dozens of feet away.
In recent days, his strength cultivation has also increased significantly; his bloodline is now extremely pure, almost without impurities. Lifting a stone weight of over a thousand jin is effortless for him.
Of course, he won't reveal this in the Qin Palace; he doesn't yet have the ability to turn Xianyang upside down.
There are extremely powerful masters in Xianyang, even in the Epang Palace, a fact Long Lin can discern from their aura.
Although Qin Shi Huang built the Epang Palace and housed countless beauties there, Long Lin has never seen him there. So those concubines openly seduced the guards to relieve their loneliness.
Like that soldier named Xiao Weizi from earlier, because of his handsome appearance, he attracted the attention of several concubines and became their secret lover. That's why he became weak and frail, lacking energy and blood.
Long Lin was no exception; right here in Zhao Garden, three concubines showed him their affections. He accepted them all with a smile. However, since he possessed the Power of Willpower, he didn't mind having many beautiful women.
As night fell, the lanterns of the Epang Palace lit up, like countless stars.
After changing shifts, Long Lin returned to his quarters, washed up, ate something, and then headed towards the Bi'e Garden, deep within Zhao Garden.
Bi'e Garden was the palace of Consort E.
"This humble servant, He Wei, greets Consort E..."
"He Wei, rise. I have specially ordered someone to prepare this ginseng and deer antler soup for you. Drink it while it's hot!"
"Yes!"
A palace maid brought over a cup of tea. Long Lin examined it; it was indeed ginseng and deer antler soup. He picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you for your kindness, Consort E!"
Long Lin said. Inwardly, however, he cursed the vile woman.
"Alright...come here!"
Consort E said at this moment. The palace maid tactfully withdrew, and Long Lin entered the inner chamber.
Long Lin had been to Consort E's inner chamber many times and was quite familiar with it. The gauze curtains were still swirling, and the fragrance of perfume was intoxicating. However, today his brow twitched slightly, because today the perfume in the inner chamber was mixed with another fragrance.
Long Lin took a few steps forward, already understanding the situation. This Consort Moth had truly gone to great lengths, creating such a romantic ambiance.
Long Lin, a former mercenary, was not only skilled in weaponry but also knowledgeable about incense and aphrodisiacs. Just a light sniff had revealed it to be a type of aphrodisiac rice fragrance.
"Alas," he thought, "entering the palace is like entering a deep sea, a desolate place where no one knows me. Waiting for someone, my eyes glazed over, my heart filled with longing—these days are not easy. This is a welcome change. "
Long Lin thought, reaching the red gauze tent.
Knowing the incense was non-toxic, he didn't hesitate to inhale a few breaths
. The aphrodisiac's effects ignited a burning desire within him, and looking into the red tent, he almost had a nosebleed. Consort Moth was undoubtedly a first-rate beauty. Long Lin was truly fortunate to be with her.
"Consort Moth..."
Long Lin said.
"Hmm..."
Consort E leaned back slightly, "He Wei, didn't I tell you? Once you're here, just call me E'er!"
"E'er..."
Long Lin called out.
"Brother He Wei, come up here quickly!" Consort
E's voice was melodious, like silk flowing into soft water.
"Alright!"
Long Lin agreed, but secretly thought to himself, no wonder those emperors in the past died so young, with these vixens accompanying them every day, it's no wonder their lifespans were shortened. At this moment, Consort E had already knelt down to the edge of the bridal chamber, and wrapped her arms around Long Lin's neck, saying, "Come up first, let E'er serve you..."
Long Lin smiled slightly, and with the pull of her soft arm, he slipped into the bridal chamber.
"Brother He Wei... today you can lie still, I'll serve you, how about that?" Consort
E was full of tenderness, and Long Lin was naturally happy to agree. He cupped her moist, pretty face, kissed her red lips as a reward, and then lazily lay down on the brocade couch.
Consort E's face was flushed with happiness, her heart filled with sweetness. She showed Long Lin her gentle and charming side, undressing him. Her jade-like
hands caressed him warmly, which Long Lin found quite pleasant. Seeing Long Lin comfortably close his eyes, Consort E lowered her head and kissed his red lips.
"Brother He Wei, is it good?"
Consort E's soft breath was like ants crawling on him, a little itchy, a little comfortable, but an indescribable wonderful feeling.

Chapter 61 Consort E Serving Long Lin
Update time: 5-31 14:56:49 Words: 3383

Long Lin lay there, and Consort E played the Guanyin sitting on a lotus for him.
This Guanyin had long, black hair that cascaded down her back, and her slender white neck and shoulders had smooth curves.
Like a snow mountain, it rose from low to high, then dipped again, forming a large, flat, white, soft, and elastic snowfield.
Further down, there was a forest nestled in the triangular plain, and within the forest lay a bottomless cave.
"Mmm...ah..."
With a moan, Long Lin secretly exerted his strength to stay upright, enjoying the way this beauty was figuring things out for herself.
Soon, Moth Consort's face turned as red as an apple, a strand of hair falling from her forehead, damp and clinging to her snow-white face, her allure completely igniting Long Lin's desire.
"Moth Consort, I'll take over!"
Long Lin bent his legs, straightened his waist, and lifted Moth Consort into the air.
Moth Consort let out a terrified yet incredibly alluring scream. Then, Long Lin stretched his legs and slightly tightened his waist, causing Moth Consort to fall from mid-air. The powerful impact made her scream again.
Then, her scream suddenly rose eight octaves, and her whole body trembled violently as if electrified.
"Ah...Brother He Wei, don't disturb me, Moth Consort can't take it anymore..."
Moth Consort gasped, her cries broken, her hands gripping Long Lin's shoulders tightly.
“Stop? No…”
Long Lin chuckled.
“Ugh… ugh…”
Mo Fei’s vision went black, and she saw stars.
“Ugh…”
With a suppressed cry, Mo Fei’s body finally stiffened abruptly.
“He Wei… you’re so amazing, Mo Fei loves you to death…”
Mo Fei murmured, clinging tightly to Long Lin’s neck.
Enjoying the wonderful feeling of the hot spring washing his golden spear, Long Lin smiled slightly, “Mo Fei, call me Your Majesty, and I will make you even better…”
“Your Majesty, please grant this lowly concubine one more time!”
Mo Fei’s expression was hazy, and she whispered in Long Lin’s ear with her cherry lips.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear you…”
“Your Majesty, this concubine wants more…”
“Speak louder, I still can’t hear you…”
Long Lin said, thrusting his hips forward.
“Your Majesty, come quickly, I want more!”
Mo Fei shouted.
Long Lin laughed loudly.
Mo Fei straightened her body, her face filled with longing and anticipation, her breathing no longer steady, and her two snow-capped mountains trembled as if an avalanche was about to occur.
"My beloved concubine, I've arrived!"
Long Lin said, gazing at Consort E.
"Mmm!"
Consort E nodded, a seductive glint in her eyes, and said in a coquettish voice.
"You slut... I'll make you pay today!"
Long Lin roared, channeling his inner energy, his muscles tensing violently. Consort E let out a dreamlike scream.
"Long Lin..."
As Long Lin forcefully pushed Consort E to the edge of the waves, a verdant figure gradually appeared in his mind.
"Mmm, Qing'er..."
Long Lin said in his mind.
"You've been in this Epang Palace for some time now. Now you must use your abilities to find me..."
Qing'er said.
"Find you? Where should I find you?"
Long Lin asked.
"The underground chamber of the Epang Palace,"
Qing'er said, her emerald green figure swaying slightly.
"The underground chamber?"
Long Lin was somewhat surprised. How could she be in the underground chamber of the Epang Palace?
"Yes, only you can save me... let me out!"
Qing'er said, her emerald green figure bowing slightly, looking pitiful.
"You're imprisoned in the underground chamber? How can I enter the underground chamber?"
Long Lin asked again.
He had long suspected that something must have happened to prevent Qing'er from meeting him, but she might have unspeakable reasons for it.
First, the Azure Emperor entrusted his son to him, then Qing'er hinted to him, making him learn the Intent Sutra and the Power Sutra, and then consume the Spirit Elixir and Immortal Fruit. Furthermore, she suppressed the Dang Demon in the Fire Dragon Cave, received the Azure Emperor's powerful divine power to cleanse her entire body, and later instructed him to bring ten beauties to Xianyang to serve in the Epang Palace. The reasons behind all this seemed to be controlled by an invisible thread controlling this series of mysterious events.
"You will find the door to the underground chamber, but it can only be opened by gathering the energy of one dragon and nine phoenixes. You possess dragon energy, and now you must find the nine phoenixes,"
Qing'er said.
Long Lin hesitated for a moment.
"Will you save me?"
Qing'er asked.
"Of course, I promised the Azure Emperor that I would deliver the Azure Wood Token to you. But do I truly possess dragon energy?"
Long Lin asked.
The emerald green figure nodded.
"Then who are the nine phoenixes?"
Long Lin asked again.
"Any woman with no moles on her body and pure energy, whose union with you can produce auspicious dragon and phoenix clouds, is a Nine Phoenix body. The dragon and phoenix are one, the clouds are auspicious, dragon and phoenix, soaring and yearning, that's the meaning," Qing'er said
.
Long Lin was momentarily confused by these words, because they were too mysterious to him. There must be many women with no moles on their bodies and pure energy, even if he were to find them, he couldn't strip them all naked and examine them one by one. And if union could produce auspicious dragon and phoenix clouds, he couldn't possibly try them one by one, could he?
"Is there a good method for testing? Just tell me who they are, and we can go directly to them,"
Long Lin said after thinking for a moment.
"Alright... The Nine Phoenixes Returning to the Dragon, it's auspicious in some ways, and difficult in others... Actually, these nine phoenixes aren't anywhere else, they're right here in the Epang Palace. One of them is right beneath you..."
Long Lin was startled; it turned out that Consort E was one of the nine phoenixes. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Consort E was indeed a person with no moles on her body and a clear aura, but he hadn't seen any auspicious clouds swirling around her.
Then Qing'er pointed out to Long Lin one by one the women with phoenix bodies. Long Lin had never heard of most of them before, but from their titles, they were all concubines and female officials in the Epang Palace.
"It seems I'll have to stay in the Epang Palace for a while longer," Long Lin thought to himself.
Qing'er then explained to Long Lin how to gather phoenix energy. This wasn't too difficult; one had to use the true dragon within one's own body to draw out the true phoenix within another's body, and then the dragon and phoenix would resonate and gather dragon and phoenix energy.
"Alright, that's all for now... However, time is of the essence. Don't wait until Qin Shi Huang finishes building the Epang Palace, otherwise not only will we be unable to rescue me, but the Qin dynasty's fate will be sealed for a thousand years. Also, not everyone can freely gather the Nine Phoenixes; there might be unexpected dangers. Therefore, you must diligently cultivate both your strength and will. Whether you can rescue me depends on you!"
Qing'er said.
Long Lin nodded and said, "Don't worry about that. Even if it takes force, I will gather all nine phoenixes and rescue you!"
"Long Lin, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Do you remember the chivalrous woman from Dangshan, Mu Wanxin? She is me..."
Qing'er said.
"I see!"
Long Lin understood. No wonder he had always been so attached to the chivalrous woman from Dangshan; it turned out to be like this.
"This matter is confidential; you must not let anyone else know,"
Qing'er said.
Long Lin nodded again, "I understand that, but after gathering the Nine Phoenixes, I'll be searching for you everywhere. Where is the underground chamber of the Epang Palace?"
"Well, after you gather all nine phoenixes, I'll come looking for you again. By then, it will be difficult for you to enter the underground chamber alone. Someone will help you then!"
Qing'er said.
"Alright..."
Long Lin nodded.
"This matter is easier said than done, but there are many dangers involved. I'll have to trouble you, Dragon Lord!"
After Qing'er finished speaking, her figure slowly disappeared from Long Lin's mind.
Long Lin withdrew his mind, smiled slightly, and transformed his internal energy into the Tiger Force Technique, letting out a deep tiger roar.
E Fei's whole body suddenly felt another rapid numbness. She cried out, her whole body trembling violently as if she had a stroke. A surge of hot spring water gushed out, and she fainted.
Long Lin carefully examined E Fei's entire body from head to toe. Sure enough, he didn't find a single mole, not even the slightest black mark. Her whole body was snow-white and flawless. Listening to her faint breathing during her unconsciousness, it was like flowing clouds and water, indeed possessing a pure aura. He couldn't help but secretly admire the phoenix's unique body.
Suddenly, he thought of the dragon and phoenix mating, which should be accompanied
by auspicious clouds. Looking around, he saw no clouds at all, and was puzzled. Then he felt a hidden energy surging within him. Unconsciously, he looked at Consort E and remembered the method Qing'er had taught him to gather phoenix energy. Where dragon energy moves, clouds rise; when combined with phoenix energy, it is a time of auspicious dragon and phoenix.
Thinking this, Long Lin didn't hesitate, but before Consort E woke up, he simply turned her over and laid her flat. It was midnight. He inhaled a breath of energy and felt his body full of spiritual energy. He carefully laid Consort E in a spread-eagle position.
Even in her dazed state, Consort E showed a slight reaction.
"Hmm… Brother He Wei, I can't go on…"
Consort E murmured.
Dragon energy is easy to draw out, but phoenix energy is difficult. Unless the phoenix body is at its most vulnerable, even the strongest dragon energy cannot draw out the phoenix energy. However, once the phoenix energy emerges, the woman with the phoenix body will forever retain her beauty and youth, a truly great fortune.
Seeing this as the opportune moment, Long Lin silently recited the incantation taught by Qing'er. With the rise and fall of the incantation's melody, Long Lin naturally didn't forget to coordinate his movements.
At this moment, Consort E looked down, her snow-white body stretching out like a phoenix in flight; Long Lin above her resembled a dragon about to soar.
The dragon energy hidden within his body was slowly guided out by Long Lin, swirling and dancing at the energy outlet, echoing with an extremely low dragon roar—a sound that no one but Long Lin could hear.
"Consort E… if this succeeds, I'll need your help to devise a plan to lure that ice-cold beauty into my arms!"
Long Lin thought to himself as he waited for the dragon energy to appear. It turned out that one of the other nine phoenixes Qing'er had told him about, Long Lin recognized upon reflection, was the famous Ice-Beauty Snow Consort of Zhao Garden.
A blush gradually appeared on Consort E's face, while Long Lin suddenly felt the sky brighten. Looking up, he saw the room enveloped in auspicious, multicolored clouds. Just as he was secretly astonished, he felt a movement within his body; the dragon energy suddenly burst forth and rushed towards Consort E.
"It's time!"
Long Lin thought to himself, quickly using the Phoenix-Attracting Technique to recall the dragon energy. Only then did he discover that another, unknown aura was now entwined with the dragon energy—a very light aura, yet carrying the essence of a phoenix's song.
Long Lin was overjoyed, knowing he had successfully attracted the phoenix, and quickly took a deep breath to simultaneously withdraw both auras.
Consort E remained unconscious, lying quietly. Long Lin sat cross-legged, slowly channeling the energy of the dragon and phoenix into his dantian, storing it for later use.
After a period of meditation, his strength and will seemed to have improved, and Long Lin felt refreshed and his senses sharpened. Although it was dark, every detail in the room was crystal clear. He focused his mind and dispersed it outwards, even hearing the whispers of the palace maids in their dreams.
Just then, he suddenly opened his eyes, a slight look of surprise on his face. Because just now, he had heard a guard shout sharply at the gate of Zhao Garden: "Who dares to trespass into Zhao Palace in the dead of night!"

Chapter 62 Shangguan Shuyuan
Update Time: 5-31 15:03:59 Words: 3401

Long Lin leaped up, only to be embraced by Consort E, who had already woken up.
"Brother He Wei, where are you going?"
Consort E's almond-shaped cheeks were flushed with spring, her beautiful eyes were dreamy, and she possessed a unique charm of a young woman, completely lacking the imposing aura of a palace lady.
"E'er, someone has trespassed into the Zhao Palace. I'm going out to check!"
Long Lin was secretly delighted. Judging from Consort E's appearance, she was completely captivated by him.
"Okay, be careful!"
Consort E said with some concern.
Long Lin dressed and was about to leave when Consort E called him back. She blushed and got up, still naked, and went to the wardrobe. From a hidden compartment, she took out a gold-threaded wooden box.
The box opened, revealing a suit of soft armor.
"Brother He Wei, this is the silver-threaded soft armor that the King of Zhao gave me. It makes you invulnerable to swords and spears. I'll give it to you for self-defense!"
Long Lin chuckled inwardly. With his martial arts skills, if ordinary swords could harm him, he wouldn't need this silver-threaded soft armor. He immediately pulled Consort E into his arms, stroking her soft, supple body, and said emotionally, "E'er, you should keep this armor for protection!"
"No, with Brother He Wei protecting me, what use would I have for this soft armor?"
Consort E looked up, her eyes filled with concern.
"Alright! Thank you, Sister E'er."
Long Lin no longer refused, and with Consort E's help, he put on the silver-threaded soft armor. He then put on a black robe over it, quietly opened the door, and slipped out.
"I am the eldest disciple of the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qin Dynasty. Tonight, observing the celestial phenomena, I happened to see the light of dragons and phoenixes appearing in this Zhao Garden, suspecting that a demon is causing trouble here. I came to investigate, and you, a mere soldier, dare to block my way!"
Long Lin's movements were extremely fast; in just a few breaths, he had already reached the gates of the Zhao Palace. He hid in the shadows and heard a person talking to a guard at the gate.
"So you're a disciple of the Imperial Preceptor. I'm very sorry for offending you. But this Zhao Palace is the Qin King's harem, and it's late at night. As a man, aren't you afraid of His Majesty
's wrath for trespassing?" The soldier retorted without backing down.
"If His Majesty is wrathful, someone will take responsibility!"
the man retorted angrily.
Long Lin had already quietly slipped through the wall and walked in from the outside, chuckling, "Brother Shangguan, it's been a while since we parted ways in Dangshan! Do you still remember Brother He Wei?"
The man was slightly startled, looked at Long Lin carefully, and suddenly exclaimed, "You?"
Long Lin stepped forward, "Brother Shangguan, we brothers are responsible for the security of this Zhao Palace. How could there be any demons causing trouble? You must be seeing things, Brother Shangguan?" The one who
had broken into the Zhao Palace in the middle of the night was none other than Shangguan Shuyuan, who had captured the county magistrate's corpse demon with Long Lin in Dangshan that day. He was dressed in a gold-trimmed Taoist robe, wearing a purple-gold crown, and holding a silver whisk. His brows held a purple aura, and his face exuded an air of otherworldly grace—a picture of a revered master.
"Hmm, perhaps! Since Brother He Wei is here, I can rest assured! Let's go..."
Shangguan Shuyuan's eyes darted around, and he smiled. He then led his men outside.
"Brother Wei, thank goodness you came, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do!"
the guard said to Long Lin with a smile.
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "We serve the Emperor. His orders are that no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter. Naturally, we must strictly enforce this and not be negligent!"
"Yes, yes! Brother Wei, still not asleep so late?"
the guard asked.
Long Lin sighed, "Couldn't sleep, came out for a walk!"
With that, he put his hands behind his back and strolled away.
"Brother Long, how have you been... And who is He Wei?"
A figure emerged from the shadows—it was Shangguan Shuyuan. He had already dismissed his men and was waiting alone for Long Lin.
Long Lin had anticipated this, so he smiled and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Brother Shangguan, please come to my humble abode for a chat."
"Alright..."
Shangguan Shuyuan readily agreed.
Long Lin then led Shangguan Shuyuan to his residence, a corner outside Zhao Garden, consisting of two rows of small tiled houses. The Epang Palace was vast, with countless rooms, so Long Lin's guards each had their own room.
Upon entering the room, Long Lin carefully closed the door. Shangguan Shuyuan, however, took out a talisman from his sleeve, chanted an incantation, and casually tossed it into the air. Immediately, a faint light filled the room.
"This talisman has the power to prevent spying and eavesdropping. Now, Brother Long, you can speak frankly,"
Shangguan Shuyuan said.
"What brings Brother Shangguan to this Epang Palace?"
Long Lin didn't answer, but instead asked with a smile.
Shangguan Shuyuan chuckled and revealed his true identity. Long Lin then understood that he was actually the eldest disciple of the Imperial Advisor Xu Fu, whom he had met by chance when passing through Dangshan while gathering medicinal herbs. This time, he was also responsible for guarding the Epang Palace, just like Long Lin.
"So Brother Shangguan is actually a disciple of the Imperial Advisor! I apologize for my presumption!"
Long Lin immediately clasped his hands in greeting.
Since Shangguan Shuyuan could conceal his identity, so could he, Long Lin. Moreover, he had no intention of telling Shangguan Shuyuan the truth. Without hesitation, he fabricated a lie.
"You're a Shadow Dragon Guard?"
Shangguan Shuyuan couldn't help but be surprised. According to Long Lin, only the Shadow Dragon Guard was directly under the command of the Qin Emperor, numbering in the unknown, each a highly skilled martial artist with extraordinary abilities. Furthermore, the Shadow Dragon Guard was extremely secretive; even his master, the Imperial Advisor Xu Fu, didn't know its inner workings.
Long Lin smiled noncommittally, casually fabricating a story that he was directly under the command of the Qin Emperor, and that his time as a bandit in Dangshan, concealing his identity, was merely part of a mission. His vague and ambiguous explanation naturally led Shangguan Shuyuan to think of the legendary Shadow Dragon Guards, the most mysterious guards of the Qin Emperor.
Having witnessed Long Lin's skills during the battle with the corpse demon, and judging from his appearance and aura, Shangguan Shuyuan had already suspected that Long Lin was no ordinary bandit. Now, he was absolutely certain of Long Lin's identity as a Shadow Dragon Guard.
"Should I call you Brother Long or Brother He?"
Shangguan Shuyuan asked politely.
Long Lin smiled slightly, "Just call me He Wei. My current identity is a guard in Zhao Garden."
"Alright, Brother He Wei. I've actually missed you quite a bit since we last met!" Shangguan Shuyuan said. Knowing Long Lin's identity as a Shadow Dragon Guard, he naturally had other plans in mind, and his words were full of respect for Long Lin.
“I am no different. Every time I use this empty Ruyi bag, I think of Brother Shangguan’s elegance!” Long Lin laughed.
“Brother He, you don’t need to be so polite. It’s just a small token of my appreciation. Hmm, no wonder I wanted Long Lin to join my Daoist sect that day to cultivate immortality. It turns out there’s a connection.”
Shangguan Shuyuan laughed.
“Not at all… Now that I’m in this deep palace, with nothing to do every day, I really want to learn some of the wondrous arts of cultivating immortality!”
Long Lin said.
“Brother He, do you really have this intention?”
Shangguan Shuyuan was delighted to hear this and then asked.
“Of course…” Long Lin looked around and then at Shangguan Shuyuan.
Shangguan Shuyuan understood and said, "Brother He, rest assured, this is a talisman I personally crafted. No one but you and I can hear a single word of our conversation."
Long Lin nodded, pondered for a moment, and sighed, "Brother Shangguan, to be honest, I have followed the King for over a decade, experiencing the wars of the six kingdoms, and I deeply understand the King's desire for immortality. I presume you also know why the King appointed Master Xu as the Imperial Preceptor?"
Shangguan Shuyuan nodded. From Long Lin's tone and the inside story he knew, he was certain that Long Lin was the Shadow Dragon Guard by the Qin Emperor's side. He immediately said, "It's to seek the elixir of immortality!"
"Wrong... terribly wrong..."
Long Lin suddenly shook his head and laughed.
Shangguan Shuyuan was slightly taken aback. Even his master, Xu Fu, had privately told them that Qin Yingzheng wanted him to refine the elixir of immortality and find the divine medicine of eternal life.
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "Brother Shangguan, do you know how many calamities His Majesty has endured, how many life-and-death situations he has faced, and how many scenes of corpses he has witnessed, from being a hostage to becoming the First Emperor who unified the six seas?"
"Could the First Emperor have other intentions?"
This time, Shangguan Shuyuan could not remain unmoved, because what Long Lin said was something he had never heard before.
"Of course, His Majesty has experienced countless battles. If he has the ambition to unify the world, surely he has the ability to see through life and death? What he seeks is not his own life or death, but the continuation of the Qin Dynasty's foundation for thousands of years!"
Shangguan Shuyuan was quite shocked. To be honest, even as the eldest disciple of the Grand Preceptor, he had only seen the Qin Emperor a few times. The Qin Emperor's aura was something even his years of cultivated Dao heart could not withstand. Now, Long Lin's words were extraordinary in their momentum and profound in their implications, leaving him no choice but to believe them.
Long Lin sighed again, "However, ensuring the Qin dynasty's continued existence for ten thousand years is no easy feat. Not only are there the ambitions of the various regional lords, but even lowly demons are eyeing the throne, waiting for their chance to
rise. Moreover, countless treasures exist throughout the land, many of which could control the fate of the nation. Without eliminating these hidden dangers, how can Your Majesty be at ease?" "Indeed… Brother He, after today's long conversation, we have become sworn brothers, brothers who confide in each other. If Brother He ever needs my help, I will gladly die for you,"
Shangguan Shuyuan immediately replied.
Having cultivated for many years, he was quick-witted and insightful. Since Long Lin had revealed his identity and shared so many secrets, if he were to let slip even the slightest hint, he would likely face dire consequences. Therefore, he expressed his resolve.
Long Lin smiled and nodded, saying, "Good. With Brother Shangguan's help, He Wei and He Xi are bound to achieve great things. I will recommend Brother Shangguan to the King in the future, and it wouldn't be impossible for Brother
Shangguan to be ennobled and made a king in the court." "Brother He, what are you saying... A cultivator only seeks a pure mind, to understand the will of Heaven, and to comprehend the true essence. Ennoblement and kingship are unnecessary. If I can borrow your help to obtain some spiritual flowers and treasures, I will be content!"
Shangguan Shuyuan quickly replied.
"A reclusive master, indeed, your mind is enlightened, indifferent to worldly riches and honors! I admire you!"
Long Lin said immediately, secretly delighted. The Shadow Dragon Guard's disguise had Shangguan Shuyuan completely under his control. If he caused any trouble in the Epang Palace in the future, someone would be there to cover for him.
"Well, I wonder where Brother Shangguan is currently cultivating? If He Wei wants to comprehend the Dao, I would appreciate your guidance, brother." Long Lin said.
Shangguan Shuyuan smiled and said, "Right on the summit of Zijin Mountain in the center of this Epang Palace, there is a Heavenly Observation Platform. I am there, Brother He, you can come and find me anytime."
"Alright, I will definitely go and ask you for guidance tomorrow when I have time!"
Long Lin said.
"Then I will look forward to your visit. It's getting late, I must return now! However, I see faint dragon and phoenix auras appearing in Zhao Garden today, perhaps indicating some demonic disturbance, Brother He, please be careful,"
Shangguan Shuyuan said.
Long Lin nodded and thanked Shangguan Shuyuan again. At this moment, Shangguan Shuyuan casually pointed, dispelling the talismanic light around the room, before opening the door to take his leave.
