Chapter 48 I call you A Zheng, do you dare to agree?
At this moment, Bai Feng suddenly paused, as if he had found some flaw.
He took a deep breath and rushed forward, his body drawing a graceful arc in the air.
However, just when he was about to break through the blockade, Zi Nu's soft sword suddenly turned into a silver light and stabbed straight at him.
Bai Feng was shocked and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
The soft sword was like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue, instantly piercing his sleeve and passing by his skin closely.
Bai Feng felt a sharp pain and when he looked down, he saw that there was a cut on his sleeve, revealing the skin underneath.
Bai Feng secretly felt lucky that he reacted in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
He knew very well that he could no longer chase Gongsun Ce tonight, so he could only temporarily give up the idea of continuing the pursuit and look for a way to escape.
Gongsun Ce and Gai Nie sped away again. For safety reasons, Ying Zheng went to a remote location close to the slum that had caught fire earlier.
Gongsun Ce looked at Yanri who was following him like a shadow below. If he guessed correctly, Yanri should have reached an agreement with Ji Wuye.
If Yanri discovered Ying Zheng's whereabouts, Ji Wuye would most likely bring some of the imperial guards and surround Ying Zheng's whereabouts under the pretext of capturing the wanted criminal Tianze.
"Wow!"
The familiar cry of the three-legged golden crow was heard, and Feiyan's dragon-like aura pounced towards Yanri. It was unknown whether the three-legged golden crow hit Yanri or not, but it raised a cloud of dust.
Feiyan's figure appeared not far away. When Gongsun Ce's eyes met hers, Feiyan's face turned slightly red.
Gongsun Ce nodded to Feiyan. Before leaving with Gai Nie, Gongsun Ce used the Word Spirit Sickle Weasel to locate the sun and released a Word Spirit·Fire into the smoke.
The flames rose, but there was no wailing. Gongsun Ce frowned, thinking that Yanri was a little difficult to kill.

Gongsun Ce secretly said what a pity.
But then Gongsun Ce became a little worried. Even though he had been using the Word Spirit·Fire crazily in recent times, his proficiency in it was still increasing frighteningly slowly.
The sequence of Word Spirit: Blazing is 77. If I draw a Word Spirit of a higher level in the future, I don’t know how long it will take to reach full proficiency.
On the way forward, Gai Nie suddenly made a joke, "Tongming has good luck in love."
"It's rare to hear you joke. Even when you were a kid, you were always serious."
Gai Nie restrained his smile, turned around, and took Gongsun Ce on a circle around half of Xinzheng.
Then he landed at the door of a low house. Gongsun Ce took a look and found that what a coincidence, the house where he grilled skewers after Yan Lingji set the fire was right next door.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
Gai Nie knocked on the door in a certain pattern, and the door was pushed open, and Gongsun Ce met Ying Zheng, who later became the First Emperor.
It is normal for Ying Zheng, who is nearly two meters tall, to carry a 1.6-meter-long sword.
Gongsun Ce looked Ying Zheng up and down and was a little disappointed to find that he was not wearing the Sword of King Qin.
Gongsun Ce was the first to speak, "What should I call you?"
Ying Zheng thought for a moment, "The person who came should be Mr. Gongsun. As the saying goes, a frank person does not speak in a roundabout way. Mr. Gongsun should know who I am. So, how do you plan to address me, Mr. Gongsun?"
Gongsun Ce raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it okay if I call you Ah Zheng?"
This was a simple test. Ying Zheng was testing Gongsun Ce, and Gongsun Ce was also testing him in the opposite direction.
Ying Zheng was slightly stunned: Ah Zheng? A familiar yet unfamiliar name.
Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei had called him that before, but after he ascended the throne, the names became Wang Er and Wang Shang. Ying Zheng's narrow eyebrows relaxed, "If you want to call me that, it's fine."
Gongsun Ce smiled, and the two sides passed the test with each other. Gongsun Ce passed the test with Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng also passed the test with Gongsun Ce.
Gongsun Ce walked into the house naturally, and Gai Nie then closed the door.
"A Zheng came to Xinzheng, probably not just to see me and Brother Han Fei."
"Sir, you have a keen eye."
No matter how much Ying Zheng regarded Han Fei as a great talent, it was impossible for him to come to Xinzheng so carelessly.
Unless Ying Zheng has other intentions, such as setting a trap for Lu Buwei, giving Lu Buwei one last chance, or uncovering the hidden dangers within the Qin State...
The thoughts of young emperors are often complex and unpredictable, and Gongsun Ce did not dare to say that he could predict them completely.
Gongsun Ce changed the subject and began to promote Fu Nian, "I have a senior brother in Xiaoshengxian Manor who hopes to go to Qin to be the prince's teacher."
"But Mr. Fu Nian?" Ying Zheng obviously had some understanding of Fu Nian, "Inner sage and outer king, master of the Tai'a Sword."
"Yes, it is Senior Brother Fu Nian."
It was late at night, and since Ying Zheng had met Gongsun Ce, he had to understand Gongsun Ce's abilities.
"Sir, do you think that our Great Qin can unify the world?"
Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "The remaining power of the Qin Dynasty's six generations is strong, and the army is strong. In addition, the Zhengguo Canal, which is about to be built, can alleviate the problem of food shortage.
If A Zheng takes power and sends troops, there is a high probability that he can conquer the six kingdoms. "
Ying Zheng immediately wanted to know from Gongsun Ce what obstacles were preventing Qin from unifying the country.
"Sir, do you think anyone can stop my Qin cavalry?"
"Zhao has Li Mu, Wei has the huge city of Daliang, Chu has the Xiang clan...If the Qin army is not careful, everything will be lost.
And even if the six kingdoms were conquered, there was still a problem to be faced, which was who would govern these lands.
In the past, when the Qin State conquered a place, it mainly adopted the approach of appointing old Qin people as officials and gradually assimilating the people.
But the area of the six kingdoms is not as large as before. Do we still have to use the officials and nobles of the six kingdoms to govern these lands?"
Ying Zheng fell into deep thought. "Then how do we solve these obstacles? How do we select officials who are loyal to our Qin?"
Gongsun Ce spread his hands and said, "Everyone has a way, but not everyone can use it."
After saying this, Gongsun Ce looked at Ying Zheng with a half-smile, "A Zheng should know the way to select officials, so he should know why my method cannot be implemented."
There were three main ways to select officials in the Qin Dynasty.
The first is through military merit.
The second is recommendation.
The third is conscription.
Once you choose to change the system of selecting officials, you will have to confront three major forces at the same time: the military generals, the various schools of thought, and the clans.
The fate of Shang Yang is still fresh in our memory, proving that changing the system is a difficult task.
Ying Zheng quickly figured out the key to this, and after asking a lot of questions one after another, Ying Zheng was filled with joy, "Sir, you are very talented."
Gongsun Ce waved his hand and said, "It is useful, but whether it can be implemented and how to implement it are the big problems."
The flame in Ying Zheng's heart was immediately extinguished, and at this moment he realized that he had not yet completely taken power.
Even after taking power, if he wanted to make drastic reforms, the resistance he faced would still be considerable.
"Thank you sir for your advice."
Gongsun Ce nodded slightly, then pointed out the situation, "Two of Luowang's top-level assassins have returned this time, and the Korean general may reach an agreement with Luowang.
This place is no longer safe, do you have any thoughts on changing your residence?"
"Sir, do you already have a goal?"
