"In recent years, Qin law has placed great restrictions on the dissemination of various classics. At present, the classics can be sold in the land of Sanjin and Yanzhao."
"Only those who can engrave the characters of the Qin State can do it. If under the rule of the Qin State, some schools and the like do not teach Qin law, Qin Wen, etc., they will be closed down."
"It's better here in Zilanxuan."
Hearing the displeasure in Honglian's words, Zi Nu shook her head again.
Many things are not that simple.
The Spring and Autumn Library was established by Canjian and Feixue of the Zhao State. They should be even more angry towards the Qin State. If it were not for other things, it would be absolutely impossible to introduce Qin's laws and books.
It's just..., when the Qin State captures a city, the first priority is to deal with this matter.
Really... if you want to cut off the inheritance of the various countries from the foundation, as expected, it only takes thirty or forty years for the people of the various countries to grow old and die.
Then no one will remember the great events of the Spring and Autumn Period, and no one will remember the disputes of the Warring States Period. The only thing that is remembered is the State of Qin.
Maybe cruel!
But from the perspective of the Qin State, it must be implemented. I don’t know who proposed this strategy in Xianyang. It is really... a strange strategy.
Yes, it's a clever strategy.
This seemingly trivial thing can sometimes have an effect that a large army cannot.
As Honglian said, the Zilanxuan sign needs to be replaced with a plaque in Qin characters, otherwise..., there will be trouble. Under the rule of the Qin army, it is better to have less trouble.

"Master!"
Dressed in an aqua blue embroidered dress, with a jade belt wrapped around her waist, she has picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, a graceful smile, a crisp voice, her hair is combed with double rings, and her beauty appears. She comes forward and bows, full of joy.
"Zi Yang has met the master!"
As he spoke, a girl with equally beautiful features bowed deeply to his side.
Today is the day for Master to leave seclusion, and Lord Longyang specially bought some delicacies from the city to congratulate him.
Zhao Shui was naturally overjoyed. The master had been in retreat for more than a month. He didn't know whether he had achieved the expected goal, but... within a month of the master's retreat, Lanling City had undergone many changes.
"Haha, no need to be polite."
Ji Yanran was not dressed up. She was wearing the same loose and loose gown as before. Her waterfall-like hair was casually combed with a plain ribbon and hung loosely behind her.
Looking at the two disciples in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction. When he raised his hands, there was a soft force that helped them to stand up. Zhao Shui Bu Bi said that she has always been reassured about her practice.
.
However, it was Ziyang who was far behind, but there was nothing he could do about it. His qualifications were limited and he was unable to pass on the mysterious methods of the Yin-Yang family.
Although there were not many people in the small side hall, Ji Yanran was very happy. Of course, there was another happy thing, that is, the retreat was successful and the entrance hall was really promising.
"Junior sister, judging from your expression, you seem to have gained something."
"Congratulations."
Lord Long Yang was aware of his junior sister's practice. He had already mastered the profound entrance, but now that his spiritual awareness had passed through him, he had a different kind of perception.
Undoubtedly, my understanding of the entrance hall has greatly improved.
It's even close to breaking through the entrance hall.
In this way... I should like to congratulate my junior sister.
"It's a gain."
"This level is indeed mysterious and extraordinary."
"Well...the Qin army captured Lanling City?"
Ji Yanran nodded in response to her beautiful appearance. A thought spread across an area of several hundred feet, sensing everything. Although her expression was different, it did not change drastically.
Before going into seclusion, I had expected the outcome of Lanling City, but now...it's just the same as what I perceived.
"Ten days ago, the Qin army moved into action and issued a letter of war. The next day they entered the territory."
Long Yangjun sighed.
I don’t know whether it was because the Chu army fled without fighting, or because the Qin army settled in Lanling.
"In the battle between Qin and Chu, Wang Ben was a partial force and would inevitably go south from Lanling, go straight to the east of the Yangtze River, and then move west to flank Li Xin's main army."
"Wang Ben led the army with the same temperament as Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of the Qin State. Although he only had 50,000 troops, he... planned to destroy Wei. His men were so sharp that they were not the main force of the Chu State and were difficult to compete with."
"Lanling City's choice is also the best decision."
Ji Yanran sighed softly. She could deduce the general strategy of the Qin-Chu war, but even if she could deduce some things, there was not much way to mix or reverse them.
Next, we can only look at the outcome of the battle between Qin and Chu.
Qin general Li Xin fought against Chu general Xiang Yan.
Victory or defeat is Zhu Xia's final choice.
"Um?"
"Those warning words in the library were turned into Qin characters?"
"This... I'm afraid the owner of Feixue Pavilion can't bear it."
The Spring and Autumn Library is no longer the place where Can Jian and Feixue built it when they wanted to, and closed it when they wanted to. It has become a gathering place for people from the three Jin, Yan and Zhao lands.
Sensing something special in the library at this moment, Ji Yanran shook her head. With the temperament of the owner of Feixue Library, he probably wouldn't be like this even if the library was closed, but now it happened like this.
"It is the acquiescence of those Confucians."
Long Yangjun nodded.
During those days, junior sister was in seclusion, so...there were some things she didn't understand.
Miss Feixue was naturally unwilling. However, after discussions between the Confucians and some remaining people from various countries, they still accepted the Qin army's strategy.
As for whether there is a deep-seated conspiracy, Long Yangjun is not sure.
When I stay here in the Spring and Autumn Library, I am just an ordinary teacher. I do not go deep into the core of the Spring and Autumn Library. All kinds of choices have nothing to do with me.
"In addition to the own disciples in the library, there are also many people from the peasant family and the Mohist family."
"interesting."
"Zhao Shui, there may be some chaos in the library next, so you should always practice here as your master."
It is not easy for the Spring and Autumn Library to accept the Qin army's strategy. It is not easy for Qin characters to exist in the library, especially when there are knights here.
It’s even more complicated.
Ji Yanran thought for a moment, shook her head and smiled, maybe she had a plan, but... in the end it still depends on Qin Chu's choice. After the winner is determined, she will visit the library again.
You can get a glimpse of the true face.
"Yes, Master."
After summoning the water, he bowed down and sat quietly behind his own wooden desk, with Ziyang waiting beside him. In fact, without the need for Master to say anything, he could feel that the library was a bit messy.
The owner of the Feixue Pavilion has been rarely showing up recently, and every time he shows up, he looks very unhappy.
It would be much better if the Broken Sword Hero were here.
I don’t know where Can Sword Hero and Brother Tianming are now. The last letter was from a month ago and they were still staying in Linzi.
He said that he might continue to go north, to the land of Yanzhao, and to the land of Sanjin. Thinking back to many words in the document, Zhao Shui was really envious.
Moreover, Senior Brother Tianming's cultivation has already reached the level of Innate Perfection, and he is only one step away from becoming a god. He... has also made great progress, although it will be difficult to catch up with Senior Brother Tianming in the near future.
But I am no longer the same person I was before.
"Master, you once said that there is some sealing power in Zhao Shui."
"Some memories of summoning water have been lost. I wonder if the seal can be lifted with the master's current strength?"
Continuing from the preface, I felt the Master's mood today. After a month of retreat, I should have gained a lot. My heart was moved. I bowed and said one thing. That thing... Master told me.
He has a sealing power within him.
There are some memories of his that are sealed, and Zhao Shui doesn't know what they are specifically. It's probably related to his mother, or maybe some ancient past events of the Yan Kingdom.
Last year, news came from Yan State that my father was dead.
What can be done?
I can't do anything myself.
The master is right. His father asked Ma Liang to take him to Lanling City not to make him sad, but because he wanted to live well, but... how could he not be sad.
Just hide it.
I don’t know that Master’s income from seclusion can solve his own sealing problems.
Zhao Shui also wants to know, what is the memory he lost?
"The power of the seal in you!"
"It's a bit strange. I'm afraid I have to actually step into the entrance as a master before I can try to break the seal for you. That seal is connected to your mind."
"Sure enough, if you are careless, it will cause great damage to the origin of your spiritual awareness."
"Wait patiently for a moment or two, as little as one year, as much as two years, then Master can truly set foot in the realm of Xuan Guan!"
As for the seal on Zhao Shui, he vaguely sensed it when he first saw him. In fact, he was somewhat familiar with the seal.
Nangong’s handiwork!
Can’t go wrong!
Nangong is also practicing in the lineage of wise men, that is, the power in Zhao Shui is a bit strange, the spiritual sense is deep, and the perception is unusually vast and mysterious, like the vast stars.
He once used the secrets of the wise men to try to unlock the seal for summoning water.
But nothing was gained.
Therefore, it is speculated that at least the level of cultivation at the entrance level can be used to unlock the seal for Zhao Shui. In that case, Zhao Shui will be able to know his lost memories.
Yuluo, looking at Zhao Shui's slightly depressed mood at the moment, couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
He has no heirs, so after accepting Zhao Shui, he treats Zhao Shui as his own heir.
She is the daughter of a royal family and has a noble bloodline, which is the sacred bloodline that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Nowadays, my mother is unknown, my father is dead, and my family and country are in ruins. Even though King Yan Xi is trapped in Liaodong, he is just lingering on, which is meaningless.
He is a poor child.
"Thank you Master!"
Zhao Shui lowered his delicate brows and nodded.
That's all.
"girl."
The little girl Ziyang knelt down quietly beside Zhao Shui. Seeing that the girl was a little depressed at the moment, she couldn't help but move closer to comfort her. He and the girl headed south to Lanling.
Just here to serve the girl.
"I'm fine."
"Ziyang, pour me some wine!"
"Today is to congratulate Master for coming out of seclusion."
"Master!"
"Uncle!"
"please!"
After a few breaths, Zhao Shui raised his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to his previous joyful state. Today, he could not disturb the master's interest because of himself.
He smiled at Nourishing, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and spoke quickly.
Feeling this, Ji Yanran and Long Yangjun looked at each other and smiled. They each raised their wine bottles, bowed to each other, and drank.
