All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 143 The Most Beautiful Woman in Qin - Widow Qing

When Zhu Ji and her son returned, the King of Qin was overjoyed. Despite the objections of others, he appointed Zhu Ji as Queen and Ying Zheng as Crown Prince.

At the same time, those who planned and participated in escorting the mother and child were rewarded for their contributions.

The one who reaped the greatest reward was naturally Lü Buwei, who was appointed as the Right Chancellor.

In this way, Lü Buwei's status underwent a dramatic change, completing a legendary story of a merchant rising to become prime minister.

Of course, the Wu family contributed the most, and naturally received generous rewards, including mansions, ranches, servants, treasures, and so on.

As for Gu Yu, he was appointed as the Imperial Guard Commander and Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince.

However, both were honorary titles, and they had no real power to command troops.

Gu Yu was mainly responsible for teaching Ying Zheng gentlemanly skills such as horsemanship, archery, and swordsmanship.

Besides him, there was another tutor to the crown prince who mainly taught Ying Zheng classics, history, philosophy, literature, and the philosophy of governing the country.

However, this tutor to the crown prince was a woman.

Qin Qing, also known as "Widow Qing," is a peerless beauty who is considered one of the two most outstanding women in the world alongside Ji Yanran.

She was recognized as the most talented and beautiful woman in the Qin state, but unfortunately, she was unlucky and her husband died on the battlefield not long after their marriage.

Over the years, countless men have come to her door seeking marriage, including many noble young men who did not mind her status as a widow and were willing to marry her as their principal wife.

As a result, they were all turned away.

That morning, Gu Yu taught Ying Zheng swordsmanship as usual.

It must be said that there was a reason why he was able to unify the country and become one of the greatest emperors in history.

Ying Zheng was only a little over ten years old, but he grew taller very quickly and looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

Moreover, he has extremely high comprehension and can truly learn by analogy, making it very easy for Gu Yu to teach him.

When they had practiced enough, the two sat down for a short rest.

Although Ying Zheng and Gu Yu did not have much contact, he heard many legendary stories about Gu Yu on the way back to Xianyang.

Moreover, Gu Yu's ability to single-handedly take the mother and son away from the hostage residence inspired his admiration.

As the two were chatting, a woman dressed in a plain white dress walked over.

Gu Yu glanced to the side subconsciously, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

With his current experience, there aren't many women who can still amaze him at first glance. It's not hard to guess that this woman must be Qin Qing.

As expected, Ying Zheng rose, bowed, and called out, "Grand Tutor Qin!"

Gu Yu also stood up and bowed, smiling as he said, "I have long admired the name of Grand Tutor Qin, and I am honored to finally meet you today."

Qin Qing returned the bow and said, "Grand Tutor Gu, you flatter me. How could I, a mere woman, compare to Grand Tutor Gu, who is skilled in both literature and martial arts?"

Ying Zheng, though young, was shrewd and said with a quick glance, "You two tutors, please continue your conversation. I need to go to the restroom."

As soon as he left, Qin Qing couldn't help but ask, "I heard that Grand Tutor Gu single-handedly rescued the Queen and the Crown Prince from the hostage residence?"

Gu Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

Qin Qing asked with some surprise, "But with so many guards at the hostage residence, how did Grand Tutor Gu manage to keep up?"

Actually, she wasn't unaware of it, but she felt it was somewhat unlikely. Perhaps the rumors were unfounded and exaggerated Gu Yu's abilities, so she wanted to verify it in person.

Gu Yu asked with a half-smile, "Does Grand Tutor Qin really want to know?"

Qin Qing paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.

"ah!

""

The next moment, she felt her body lighten and couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.

It turned out that Gu Yu had grabbed her waist and leaped up, instantly landing on the top of a nearby tree about two zhang tall.

"what!"

Qin Qing gasped again, feeling her body go limp, and instinctively clung to Gu Yu.

It turns out she has a fear of heights.

Moreover, she was no longer standing on a rooftop, but on the swaying treetops, which naturally made her even more terrified, and she didn't dare to open her eyes.

But Gu Yu was very happy.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered the woman's weakness. He had originally planned to jump down, but now he was in no hurry. Instead, he swayed his body, which frightened Qin Qing into holding on even tighter.

Her full, soft breasts pressed tightly against Gu Yu's chest, and the wonderful sensation made Gu Yu involuntarily hug her tighter.

From below, it looks exactly like a couple deeply in love embracing tightly.

"Quick, get down there!"

Qin Qing closed her eyes, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"All right."

Gu Yu knew he couldn't go too far, so he responded and then lightly landed on the ground.

"Alright, Grand Tutor Qin, you can open your eyes now."

Gu Yu released his grip, took two steps back, and said softly.

Qin Qing subconsciously stepped on the ground before opening her eyes, looking at Gu Yu with a face full of embarrassment and anger: "You—you actually—"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yu laughed and said, "How was I supposed to know that Grand Tutor Qin was afraid of heights?"

"Afraid of heights?"

Upon hearing this word, Qin Qing was stunned for a moment.

Gu Yu explained, "It's also called acrophobia, a psychological instinct that many people have. Grand Tutor Qin, you don't need to worry about it."

After chatting for a while, the two sat down at the table, and Qin Qing couldn't help but ask, "I heard that Ji Yanran also went to Qin?"

After all, both women were renowned for their talent, so she would naturally pay attention to them.

After chatting for a while, the two of them unknowingly started talking about the general trend of the world and the way to govern a country.

Qin Qing said, "In my opinion, the way to govern a country should be to prioritize virtue, to govern with virtue, to govern with law, and to govern with benevolence. Only in this way can the country become stronger."

Gu Yu replied, "That makes sense, but with the world in chaos right now, nothing is more important than unifying the world."

"Unification of the world?"

"Yes!" Gu Yu nodded solemnly. "For hundreds of years, countries have been in conflict, and wars have been constant. In the end, it is the common people who suffer. The only way to end this chaotic world is to stop war with war."

"To stop war with war?"

Clearly, Gu Yu's idea surprised Qin Qing greatly.

"right!"

Gu Yu launched into a long and detailed explanation of his philosophy of "self".

"Only by stopping war with war can we achieve the unification of the world. And only with the unification of the world can we minimize war, allowing the people to recuperate and live in peace and prosperity."

"But this raises another issue: the Central Plains had been divided for many years, and each state had its own writing system, weights and measures..."

To achieve true unification, such as currency, it is necessary to standardize writing, cart tracks, weights and measures, and goods. Upon hearing this, Qin Qing's beautiful eyes widened, and her heart was filled with turbulent waves.

She was no ordinary woman after all; otherwise, the King of Qin would not have appointed her as Grand Tutor to teach the Crown Prince the ways of governing the country.

Qin Qing has always been very self-confident and has some unique ideas of her own.

However, after hearing Gu Yu's words, she realized that her perspective was still too narrow.

When Gu Yu had finished speaking, Qin Qing couldn't help but stand up and bow deeply, sincerely saying, "Sir, you are truly talented; please accept my bow!"

Gu Yu stood up, took her hand, and smiled, "Grand Tutor Qin, you flatter me. I was just speaking off the cuff, and I hope you won't find it amusing."

"Sir, you are too modest—"

At this moment, Ying Zheng walked over with a smile.

"The two Grand Tutors seem to be having a very pleasant conversation. I wonder what they're talking about?"

Qin Qing blushed and quickly withdrew her hand.

Gu Yu laughed and said, "It's nothing, we just chatted casually about the principles of governing a country."

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest, "I wonder if the two Grand Tutors could tell me about it?"
