Even without saying anything further, Wang Jian and Li Xin could guess what was implied. The so-called prerequisites were actually the practical materials that needed to be submitted when applying to King Qin. One of the conditions was to complete the military mission quickly and perfectly; the second was to accomplish the mission without causing significant casualties on their side.
No matter how beautifully a mission is executed, if those involved cannot return, it cannot be considered nearly perfect! Understanding this point, both Wang Jian and Li Xin clasped their fists in salute. "I understand! For the sake of achieving an unparalleled feat for Great Qin, I would not hesitate to sacrifice everything!"
The benefit of understanding is that one can be succinct. Luzi smiled slightly and gestured for Li Xin to officially lead the team on their departure.
Having some hope is better than none, after all, it is a matter that weighs heavily on one's heart. If Li Xin initially approached the reconnaissance mission with a fearless attitude towards death, he would now reconsider how to ensure both quality and quantity in completing this task because of a lingering thought.
If something were to go wrong, even building a temple for you would be useless. Afterward, when his brothers offered sacrifices and prayers, who knows if they would even be heard? Rather than exploring these unknowns, it is better to live well now until witnessing this army successfully formed!
Li Xin resolved that he must see what kind of army Luzi intended to build! With determination, he straightened his posture and clasped his fists towards the two. "I will be back shortly! Wait at home for my good news!"
This is hope! It can fill people with confidence to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks!
Wang Jian watched the confident figure depart and felt great admiration for Luzi. He believed that not only would Li Xin bring back quality reconnaissance results, but he might also return with unexpected information!
"Junior brother! Please forgive me for saying something unpleasant; let’s just discuss the matter at hand. I have always thought that the dream of unifying our great enterprise was somewhat unrealistic. After all, there was once a Su Qinzi from Alliance and Diplomacy, and the armies of the Feudal States combined number in the millions! If it weren't for Fan Changxiang proposing a strategy of distant alliances while attacking nearby foes, allowing Great Qin to seize vast amounts of fertile land resources, this dream of unifying Huaxia would seem utterly insane!"
If it weren't for Wang Jian's willingness to speak frankly, he might have already been sent off by Luzi on an official assignment! Luzi particularly appreciated those who addressed matters directly and had a certain fondness for them. To achieve great things, one must face all issues realistically. If someone only praises you all day long, even the best person could fall into decline.
It is precisely because there are those who dare to be selfless and pragmatic that leaders can achieve immortal feats! They are the pillars of the nation, supporting each state and nation with their own bodies!
At this moment, hearing such straightforwardness, Luzi said nothing. He reached out to pick up a steaming rice ball, sniffed it at his nose, took a bite, and chewed slowly. Nodding in approval, he remarked, "Hmm! Not bad!" Just as he praised it, he suddenly realized there was no more noise around him. He quickly indicated that he was all ears and asked Wang Jian to continue speaking.
If these words were overheard by outsiders, it would sound like preparations for rebellion!
Wang Jian took a deep breath and said, "But all of this has a premise! That is talent! In fact, everything else is lifeless; only people are alive. Even if someone is old and useless or completely inept, talent can still turn decay into wonder!"
Luzi did not grasp the connection to the previous topic and looked at the delicious food in front of him. "What do you mean?"
Wang Jian smiled slightly. "I am now fully confident in the future unification of our great cause! Because of your presence, many heroes from across the land are rushing to join me in Great Qin! Even if we currently lack land and quality weapons, as long as we are here, I firmly believe that we will eventually possess all of these with the passage of time!"
Luzi nodded with a smile and urged Wang Jian to sit down for convenience. He picked up a rice ball and handed it over, saying, "The rise of a nation requires talent, and it needs a large amount of it! Do you know why talent can succeed? It is because they possess indomitable courage, and the source of that courage often depends on whether the fire in their hearts is still burning! As long as this inner fire does not extinguish, one need not fear any storm or tempest in the world. After the storm, there will be a rainbow! And that rainbow bridge that transcends all limits is the best gift heaven has bestowed upon you!"
Since the conversation had reached this point, Luzi stood up to continue his speech. "The rise of Great Qin is no coincidence; it is the result of several generations of diligent governance by my Qin State Sovereigns. Now we not only have strong soldiers and abundant talents but also boast a citizenry that excels above all others. Brother, do you remember that night in Changzi County City? The sky was filled with stars illuminating the earth! Each star represents a spark in someone's heart—seemingly weak yet full of brightness!"
Wang Jian recalled that he had mentioned how faint the starlight was at that time, but facts always prove that once weak light gathers together, it can illuminate the sky. He nodded heavily, feeling that inner fire roaring to life.
Luzi noticed Wang Jian's excitement while holding the rice ball and quickly said, "Brother! Try to see what’s in this rice!"
Is there something in the rice!? Wang Jian looked down for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He took a bite and chewed slowly. "Hmm!? How could there be this year's New Grain in Zhao's military rations?"
Upon hearing this standard answer, Luzi smiled knowingly. To taste its flavor requires a calm mind. The true power that can turn decay into wonder often sprouts from within!
"That's right! This is indeed this year's New Grain! It seems Zhao's internal issues have started again!"
It was not surprising to find this year's New Grain because military rations must contain New Grain to be consumed. Wang Jian had already learned that Li Xin encountered allied brothers on the way, specifically Huang Fei, who was responsible for transporting supplies, and all these provisions were provided by Huang Fei.
Since they are on the same side, it is natural to take advantage of the position to provide Li Xin with new grain that has not been mixed with last year's rice. The rice made from New Grain smells wonderful! Moreover, New Grain is also meant for the army's Officer! Although the distributed food seems the same, the implications behind it are significant!
As a brother, it is only reasonable for Li Xin to be able to eat this year's New Grain. Huang Fei knows that among the supplies being transported, those bags contain the best food, so it is not surprising.
Wang Jian understood this and shook his head with a smile. Li Xin's elder brother certainly has it tough! If he hadn't encountered these details in handling affairs himself, he wouldn't have figured it out! Without any background, Huang Fei was able to rise to the position of Centurion and secure a lucrative job that doesn't require going to the front lines; if there weren't some hidden motives involved, this position would naturally not belong to him!
