Chapter Fifty-Five: A Joyful Reunion

  Chapter 55: A Joyful Reunion

  Qin Yiren's words were like thunder, not only did Jian Bo's face change greatly and he couldn't speak, but also the scholars, Su Dai, Lv Buwei and others present were stunned, unable to utter a word.

  The Battle of Changping is over, but its impact is still raging. What people are talking about the most is the Battle of Changping. Why did Zhao's 50,000 elite troops all perish?

  If Lian Po were leading the army, it would be a completely different story and Zhao would not have lost.

  After hearing Qin Yiren's words, Fang realized that their idea was absurd. Even if Lian Po led the army, Zhao would still lose.

  Qin Yi's first question analyzed the reasons why the five countries of Han, Wei, Yan, Qi and Chu did not send troops, which is indeed convincing. These scholars from various countries thought carefully from the standpoint of their parents' country, and indeed, as Qin Yi said, it would be most beneficial for them to let Qin and Zhao exhaust each other.

  Since the five nations did not send troops to aid, in the end it was just a confrontation between Qin and Zhao. Whoever had the strongest national strength would win the victory. Among the seven major warring states, Qin's national strength was the strongest, followed by Zhao, and the gap between them was not small.

  If Lian Po were to lead the army, dragging it out and not engaging in a head-on battle with the Qin army, but this is also not a long-term solution. When the Zhao state's treasury and grain are exhausted, can Lian Po still hold on?

  At that time, Lian Po had no choice but to fight, and he engaged in a fierce battle with the Qin army. What were Lian Po's chances of winning?

  Extremely rare.

  Some people may say that Lian Po is a famous general, he is not afraid of the Qin army. But what about Bai Qi? Bai Qi was known as the God of War, and he was stronger than Lian Po, so could Lian Po have won against him?

  Lian Po and Bai Qi had clashed on the battlefield before, with Lian Po never emerging victorious, suffering a crushing defeat at Bai Qi's hands. Could he possibly turn the tables in the Battle of Changping?

  "Beep! Beep!"

  The whole arena was silent, with only one sound, that of Lian Po's cold sweat dripping onto the ground.

  At this time, Lian Po was covered in cold sweat, his whole body wet as if he had just been washed in water. Qin Yiren's words were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart and making his whole body tremble.

  Only Huang Shi showed no surprise on his face, with a smile and a slight nod of his head, he seemed to be appreciating: "The child is teachable! The child is teachable!"

  "Phew!" Qin Yiren let out a long sigh of relief, looking at Lian Po like that, today's matter was considered over, and he had escaped another disaster.

  "Good grief!" Qin Yi's mind let out another loud cry, thinking to himself: "In the Warring States period, there are as many geniuses as dogs, and gods walking everywhere. Every time I meet a genius or god, I have to go through danger, and there are still so many geniuses and gods who haven't appeared yet... how much more danger will I have to face? Is this even worth living?"

  Just as Qin Yiren thought, the amazing people he met in the Warring States period were Zhao Kuo's mother, Li Mu, Lin Xiangru, Pingyuan Jun, Mao Sui and Lian Po. Every time he saw one of them, there was a thrilling adventure that almost cost him his life. Moreover, there were many amazing people in the Warring States period, and if this continued, it would be really torturous for the heart.

  "Thud!" Lian Po fell to his knees, rushed to Qin Yiren and knocked his head on the ground, saying: "Lian Po apologizes to you, sir!" His forehead touched the ground, extremely respectful.

  "Ah!" A burst of exclamation rose, from the mouths of Lü Buwei, Su Dai and Shi Zi, their eyes wide with wonder, as if they had seen a ghost, unbelievable.

  If they hadn't seen with their own eyes Lian Po kneeling down in front of Qin Yiren to apologize, they wouldn't have believed it even if they were beaten to death.

  "Ah...!" Qin Yiren's face was filled with astonishment, his mouth agape as if he could fit an egg in it.

  He was so eloquent in his argument with Lian Po, but it was only to escape blame and had no intention of making Lian Po admit his mistake. Suddenly, he caught him off guard.

  "Ah!" Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong were shocked at what they saw, and they didn't believe it at all.

  "Did Lian Po really kneel down to Gongzi?" The three of them had clearly seen it with their own eyes, yet they still couldn't believe it was true, as if they were dreaming.

  Lian Po is who? The mortal enemy of the Qin State, taking it upon himself to resist the Qin State. When he sees a Qin person, there's only killing, no kneeling down and begging for forgiveness from a Qin person.

  "General Lian Po, quickly get up, quickly get up." Qin Yiren finally reacted and felt both respect and admiration for Lian Po.

  Qin and Zhao are sworn enemies, they will fight to the death as soon as they meet, and want the people of Zhao to kneel down and plead guilty to the people of Qin, this is too difficult.

  Not to mention that Lian Po is still the anti-Qin general, and for him to kneel down and plead guilty to this prince would be even more difficult than ascending to heaven.

  Lian Po's broad-mindedness and magnanimity are beyond what ordinary people can attain, so that Qin Yiren cannot help but feel great admiration for him.

  "Thank you, young master, for clearing my name!" Lian Po stood up with the support of Qin Yiren, his tiger eyes shining brightly as he gazed at Qin Yiren. Suddenly, he threw back his head and burst out laughing: "Your words have opened my eyes, young master! How refreshing!" His laughter shook the heavens and was extremely carefree.

  "General Lian Po's broad-mindedness and magnanimity are rarely seen in the world. I, Yi Ren, admire him endlessly." Yi Ren also looked up to the sky and burst out laughing: "To be able to recognize General Lian Po, this life is not in vain!"

  The two men sized each other up at the same time, and at the same time stretched out their hands, tightly clasped together, suddenly feeling a deep affection for each other.

  "Let's go! Let's have a good drink!" they said in unison.

  "Drunk or asleep!" they exclaimed in unison.

  The two of them exchanged a smile, and everything was in that one smile. Hand in hand, they went into Lian Po's elegant chamber.

  "Haha!" The loud laughter of Qin Yiren and Lian Po still echoed in their ears, while Su Dai, Lv Buwei and the scholars were like in a dream, no one could have imagined such an outcome.

  Su Dai shook his head, as if trying to shake off Qin Yi from his mind.

  Lü Buwei's face was filled with regret, what a great opportunity, originally thought that Lian Po would kill Qin Yiren, but unexpectedly, the two of them smiled and forgot their past grievances, and went to drink together.

  "General Lian Po is truly a hero!" Meng Zhao, Ma Ge and Fan Tong gazed at each other for a moment before loudly praising him.

  Qin Zhao had a deep-seated grudge, and Lian Po was even more of an enemy they detested. However, they couldn't help but admire Lian Po's vast and broad-minded tolerance and his extraordinary demeanor.

  Look at them with such admiration, it's really convincing.

  "Congratulations to both of you!" Qin Yiren and Lian Po rushed into the room, welcoming Huang Shi with open arms, congratulating the two.

  "This is..." Qin Yiren sized up Huang Shi, seeing that this person was tall and sturdy, extremely robust, with eyes that were bright and spirited, shining like the stars on a night sky.

  Wearing a bamboo hat and dressed in a simple linen garment, he is unadorned and neat, without the slightest hint of luxury.

  However, he exudes an approachable aura from head to toe.

  "This person is extraordinary!" Qin Yiren's first impression of Huang Shi was that he was a man of great ability, no ordinary person.

  Of course, can ordinary people become guests of honor at Lian Po's table?

  "This is Huang Shi, a recluse from a military family." Lian Po introduced him to Qin Yiren.

  There were too many hermits in the Warring States period, and the most famous one was Guiguzi. It's not unusual to meet a recluse who is good at martial arts. Qin Yiren paid his respects and said: "Qin Yiren has seen you, sir."

  "Gentlemen, you're too polite." Huang Shi returned the courtesy with perfect etiquette, without any mistake, showcasing his good personal cultivation. He smiled and said: "The two of you have put aside your grudges and become friends, this will surely be a legendary tale. Come, let's drink to this! Here, I'll pour you both a cup." He poured wine for Lian Po and Qin Yiren.

  "Cheers!" The three men's wine cups clinked together, producing a crisp, bronze vibration that was extremely pleasant to the ear.

  They tossed back their heads, three men drained their cups in one gulp, and then burst into loud laughter, extremely carefree.
