"The Qin army has gone south and occupied the land of Fuyang and Lanling City... Even the land of Chu is isolated at this moment. I am afraid that if Qin and Chu fight, Lanling City will directly become a key place to capture."
Zeng County!
It is a small city located north of Lanling City on the border of Qi State.
As he said last year, Can Jian promised to take Tian Ming on a trip to increase his knowledge and enhance his knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought for future use. After the early spring, after a little tidying up, he left Lanling City.
And throughout the autumn and winter, just as they expected, Qin generals Wang Bi and Yang Duan and their troops went south and took over the eighth level of the original Wei land under their control.
As for the things that have not been brought under control, firstly, the mountains are steep and require a lot of effort. Secondly, many cities are constantly attacked by sneak attacks as soon as they are captured.
The enemy was in darkness and we were in the clear, so the Qin army was overwhelmed by the disturbance. They decided to temporarily abandon some cities and consolidate the map they captured first according to the strategy set by the central government.
As for those that are not under control, the next step is naturally nothing to worry about.
So far..., in the twenty-first year of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army reached the border of Qi in winter, reached the border of Chu in the south, reached Yanmen in Yunzhong in the north, and completely consolidated the two counties of Hexi in the west.
The four counties south of the Wei River are stable. Needless to say, Guanzhong and Longxi are the top priorities.
With the help of the two great palaces in the Qin State, the land of the Three Jin Dynasties was quickly and methodically sorted out.
As a result, looking at the place where Zeng County is now, even though it is a small city on the border of Qi State, it has become much more lively now, with many people speaking Wei accents.
When I was eating and drinking in a wine shop with the hero Can Jian, I could not help but hear sighs and sighs, and the sounds of angry shouts could not help but come from those who were hostile to Qin.
Looking at the ordinary tea in the pottery cup in his hand, Tianming Qingyu, who was dressed in a simple light yellow outfit, looked at Zhenxian County, and unconsciously thought of Lanling City. Before leaving, he kept asking for water.
That was the first person who cared about him so much since he left Xianyang and stayed in Lanling City, even though she was still a young girl.
He whispered that Qin will definitely attack Chu next year, because Qin cannot give Chu more time, and if it attacks Chu, Lanling City will definitely... experience a war.
"Actually, there is no need to worry too much about Lanling City."
"For decades, Lanling City has been located at the intersection of Wei, Chu and Qi. It seems to belong to Chu, but in fact it does not belong to Chu, and of course, it does not belong to Qi either."
"There are many schools of thought in Lanling City, especially Confucianism. Facing Qin's offensive, how do you think Confucianism will react?"
Can Jian, on the other hand, was dressed in a loose white gown with his hair tied up in a crown. He was walking in the land of Qilu. Confucianism was the best support. Confucianism's century-old management in the land of Qilu is not just talk.
Feel the worry in Tianming's mouth.
I don’t know whether Tianming is worried about Lanling City or because of that little girl. Qin State continues to exterminate the country from the east, seemingly wiping out the armies of all countries one by one.
In fact, when we gathered Wei's cities last year, our methods continued to show a soft tone. As long as we surrendered, we would have no worries. As long as we abide by Qin's laws, we would have no worries.
From this point of view, in the past when the Qin Dynasty was in great conflict, the attack on the city and the slaughter of the city were not obvious, so you can feel at ease.
"Confucianism...will surrender."
"There are more than just Confucians in Lanling City."
Tianming shook his head gently.
In Lanling City, Confucianism is indeed very powerful, but the various schools of thought are not weak either.
Facing Qin, Confucians could choose to surrender.
But, what about the Mo family?
What about the farmers?
Those are all on Qin's must-kill list.
"Ha ha."
"I believe they will make a wise decision."
"This is not the best time to be at odds with Qin."
Can Jian waved his hand, raised the cup in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp. Lu Zhenlang from the Mo family and Tian Guangjie Xia from the peasant family were not ordinary people. At this time, they were determined to fight against Qin.
Facing the Qin State's tiger and wolf troops with high morale, there is only one outcome.
"I hope so."
"Hero Broken Sword, are we going to Linzi next?"
"Speaking of it, I have heard about Linzi for a long time, but I have never had the chance to see it. There is also Jixia Academy, where hundreds of schools of thought contend, which is a grand event."
What happened in Lanling City will not happen until one year later, but what I am doing right now is following the hero Can Sword, traveling around various places, comprehending the mysteries, and trying to break into the spirit form.
As soon as the conversation changed, he drank the cup of tea in front of him in one gulp and looked at the Broken Sword Hero expectantly.
They are now in the land of Qi State, and Linzi is thousands of miles away to the north.
The prosperity and liveliness there are hundreds or thousands of times greater than those in Zeng County.
"Linzi is indeed the most prosperous and lively city in Xia except Xianyang of Qin State."
"As for Jixia Academy, I'm afraid it will disappoint you."
"The latest debate about the contention of a hundred schools of thought was when Tianzong Xuan Qingzi appeared in Linzi a few years ago to discuss Taoism with a hundred schools of thought. The six-fingered black man of the Mohist school, many heads of the peasant family, and the former head of the Confucian school, Gong Duzi."
"There are also the Yin-Yang family, the Fangzhong family, the Legalist family, the military family, the medical family, the Kanyu family... among them, except for Xuan Qingzi himself, who is the Wuzhen Marquis of the Qin State, he has a profound understanding of the ways of hundreds of schools of thought."
"If you can defeat it with your own strength, then... there will be no more grand events in Jixia Academy, but you can still visit that place."
Mention Jixia Academy.
Can Jian also unconsciously remembered what happened back then. Master Zhao Zhen died there and was suppressed and killed by Tian Zong Xuan Qingzi, as well as Qi State Sword Saint Cao Qiudao, Mohist giant Six-fingered Black Man and other top god-forming powerhouses.
But he couldn't defeat Xuan Qingzi.
Although a little unwilling.
After all, so much time has passed, and from the perspective of Xuan Qingzi... I don’t want to say more, Jixia Academy has completely declined since then, and that debate can be regarded as the last remaining moment.
"Wu Zhenhou is a strange person!"
"It seems that at my age, Marquis Wu Zhen has already entered the wonderful realm of the Xuantuan. I really don't know how he practices it? "The Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi" was created by Marquis Wu Zhen. With perfect practice, you can see into the Xuantuan.
Wonderful place.”
"I really don't know what state Wu Zhenhou is in now!"
For Wu Zhenhou!
Tianming still had some impressions of Tianzong Xuanqingzi. In his memory, his mother seemed to hate him very much. He didn't quite understand it before, but now he understands.
That's because Xuan Qingzi Zeng Zhen killed his father... Jing Ke!
And... Tianming had no memory of that father, and his mother never mentioned it to him in Xianyang, but... he did have a father.
Ruoyan felt resentful towards Wuzhen Hou Xuanqingzi, but... he couldn't bring it up.
I am confused myself!
revenge?
What you should do.
But... even if Marquis Wu Zhen is standing in front of him now, he can't kill him, let alone that all the things he cultivates are directly or indirectly related to Xuan Qingzi.
I have always practiced "The Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi". Both Mr. Gai Nie and Master Can Jian have said that this is the top cultivation method among hundreds of schools of thought.
Or perhaps the non-attack in his hand was originally given to Brother Fusu by Marquis Wu Zhen, and later Brother Fusu transferred it to him. In recent years, he seemed to have learned a strange mysterious skill from it.
In terms of level of sophistication, it is similar to the "Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi", but the principles are completely different. Therefore... for those who have not practiced those mysterious skills, they still have to practice a lot of swordsmanship from them.
And... Regarding the non-attack in his hand, Tianming can feel that there are deeper secrets inside, but he can't pry out it now!
The supreme weapon of the Mo family!
It's not just as simple as the so-called gathering of the essence of the Mohist machine arts. As for the material for making the supreme weapon, I have also heard that the Can Sword Hero mentioned it, and it seems to be the body of the ancient Jiuli Chi You.
After his death, his head and body were buried under the earth without facing east and west.
"Xuan Qingzi's current state?"
"Unknowable!"
"In recent years, he has rarely made any moves, but the stunningly beautiful person beside him has extremely high levels of spiritual transformation, and even exists at the level of a mysterious person."
"Last year, outside the Liaodong Great Wall, the Xue Ji beside Xuan Qingzi entered the entrance hall. This shows Xuan Qingzi's methods. However, a few years ago, Xue Ji was just a dancing girl who was not familiar with martial arts."
The news outside the Liaodong Great Wall last year was no secret. The farmers and the Mohists wanted to kill all Xuan Qingzi's minions, but who would have thought that not only was the killing not successful.
Instead, it led to the appearance of Tianzong Beimingzi, which was really...a mistake.
Regarding the specific details of the battle, I once asked a core disciple of Confucianism, so I knew that Xue Ji's strength had entered the profound entrance, which was really... incredible.
Can easily cultivate incarnation warriors and even Xuankuan warriors.
From this, Xuan Qingzi's strength became even more profound and unfathomable.
"Isn't it said that Taoist cultivation methods are very difficult?"
The dawn is strange.
The "Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi" I have practiced can be considered to be imbued with some Taoist charm. Even so, I already feel that many of its principles are obscure.
If I hadn't forced myself to swallow some jujubes and memorize some of them before, I'm afraid it would be even more difficult to practice now.
"Difficult and easy...relative to each other."
Can Jian couldn't help but smile.
One thing may be difficult for some people.
But for some people, it is very easy.
"Too."
When Tianming heard this, he also nodded.
Immediately, they stopped staying on this topic. For many people in Zhuxia, it was very fast for them to be able to cultivate to this level at their current age.
But Tianming felt it was not enough.
After half a stick of incense, the two of them dressed lightly, drove their horses, and headed north to Linzi, admiring the splendor of Qi State along the way. Unfortunately... they had no chance to see the splendor of the Three Jin Dynasties again.
The glorious past of the Three Jin Dynasties can only be known from the mouth of the hero Can Jian.

"Master, tell me... with Zhao Shui's current cultivation speed, how long will it take to catch up with Senior Brother Tianming?"
Lanling City!
Lanling City is more bustling than last year.
Although the city is not very big, but... more and more people are gathering inside. Walking on the bustling streets, you can clearly hear the various accents mingling together.
And looking at the evolution of cities in Zhuxia over thousands of years, if such a scene can appear, then...it is definitely the most prosperous city in Zhuxia.
Incidentally... Lanling City is a small town with a radius of several miles!
