"This is the will of His Majesty the First Emperor!"
At three quarters of the hour, Chief Shi Mengyi came to Xianyang Xicheng Administrative Office in person.
Looking at Mr. Tianming in front of him, he bowed deeply to express his intention, and at the same time handed over a long black wooden box with both hands.
"Your Majesty's will?"
Tianming is suspicious.
I left the Marquis' Mansion in Wuzhen County last night and returned to the administrative office. I followed what my mother said yesterday, fearing that I would have to enter Xianyang Palace today.
Now, it was Chang Shi Mengyi who came in person.
Yu Mengyi was still acquainted with him in Xianyang Palace back then. We had also practiced martial arts together and had been taught by doctors together several times.
Your Majesty's will?
What purpose?
Instinctively he took the black wooden box from Meng Yi's hand and said curiously.
"This is the purpose of Mr. Tianming's trip to Xianyang."
Meng Yi smiled and said, having always been by His Majesty the First Emperor's side, he naturally understood many things quite well. Mr. Tianming and Yan Dan's affairs were all within his will.
Your Majesty really loves Mrs. Li.
It seems that Yan Dan's people are really about to be released, but... Meng Yi doesn't think Yan Dan can last long. Even if such people are released, they will not be stable.
I'm afraid Shadow Guard Zhang Han's mission will get heavier.
As long as that Yan Dan shows any intention of being hostile to Qin or plotting against Qin, he can be captured and arrested unless Yan Dan really changes his ways!
That possibility... Meng Yi thinks it's unlikely.
In any case, there are really not many people in the Xia Dynasty who can persuade His Majesty to release Yan Dan. Now... all the wishes have been lost.
"This..., long history."
"Could it be that... His Majesty agreed?"
Tian Ming was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and even more joyful.
Meng Yi also knew the purpose of returning to Xianyang, so he was not surprised. In addition, judging from Meng Yi's demeanor, the edict contained in the decree was obviously a good thing.
Good thing!
Doesn't it mean that things are done?
The next moment, without hesitation, Tianming opened the black wooden box in front of Meng Yi and took out a black imperial edict and silk document inside.
Reading quickly.
"Your Majesty agreed to release him."
"Well, are you ordering me and Zhao Shui to go to the prison in person and take him out?"
"What...what does this mean?"
There were not many words in the edict, and Tian Ming read them quickly. They were all the new standard characters of the Qin Dynasty, and he had already understood them by heart.
It said that Yan Dan could be released, but he and Zhao Shui needed to go to the prison in person, remove Yan Dan's shackles, and take Yan Dan out.
"Son."
"Your status is valuable. Yan Dan is just a despicable person who cheated his own life by subjugating his country. Unless the young master comes forward, Yan Dan will stay in the country's prison for the rest of his life."
"You have shown kindness to Yan Dan, so naturally you should let Yan Dan know about it and let him remember the kindness of the young master."
"If not, this matter will be announced to hundreds of schools of thought, so that hundreds of schools of thought will know about the young master's benevolence and generosity. For the young master, there will be many benefits."
Meng Yi naturally knew the content of the edict, and it could be considered as having been drafted by himself. He looked at Mr. Tianming in front of him, raised his hand and bowed again.
"this……."
"What if I don't go?"
When Tianming heard this, he suddenly fell into a slight silence.
Let yourself take him out of prison in person?
Announce the hundreds of schools of thought?
Kindness?
generous?
…
Although Meng Yi's words were good, Tian Ming noticed a different meaning, but... Meng Yi's words were indeed not wrong.
When the news gets out, it does a lot of good for you.
But, I really don’t need it.
If possible, I would rather not get the news out. It would be good for me, but not for Zhao Shui and his father.
Thinking about this, what Zhao Shui's mother said last night at the Marquis's Mansion in Wuzhen County flashed through his mind. Zhao Shui's father was proud, noble and confident.
"Son."
"This is the edict."
Meng Yi shook his head gently, raised his hand and tapped the imperial edict document in Tianming's hand.
Your Majesty, this is also for the sake of Young Master Tianming. As for that Yan Dan...if he is sensible, it would be better for him to live in seclusion directly after leaving and not care about worldly affairs.
If he doesn't know what he's doing, there will be more tricks waiting for him.
"Is it necessary?"
Let yourself go to the national prison with Zhao Shui to release him.
Tianming held the imperial edict document and asked again.
"Son."
"Yan Dan's crime deserves to be punished."
Meng Yi didn't say much.
A person who deserves to die is now alive and able to go out. This is a rare fate among all the Xia. Young Master Tianming still wants to continue negotiating terms with His Majesty?
That would be somewhat unwise.
Because of Young Master Tianming, Yan Dan was able to survive, which was already a rare blessing.
"Tianming will know."
Tianming bowed again without asking again.
I understand what His Majesty means, and I also know His Majesty's intentions. No matter what, the outcome is good, Yan Dan... His coming out is the best ending.
You shouldn't force yourself too much.
Come out and stay alive.
That's good.
"Mr. Tianming, Your Majesty and Madam Li are thinking of you. The empire now unites all Xia, hundreds of families, descendants of all countries... If it is stable, nothing will happen."
"If there is no stability, there will be chaos."
"You have a noble status, and you are even more generous today. This is also an opportunity to settle with all the schools of thought. The Mohist family...is no longer here."
Meng Yi couldn't help but say a few more words.
After staying with His Majesty the First Emperor for many years, I naturally know some things. Many people would have died long ago if it were not because of Master Tianming.
Including that Yan Dan.
If Mr. Tianming hadn't rescued him, he would have been dead for several years.
That's not a good thing.
Young Master Tianming is using the favor of His Majesty and Lady Li to do some things that may be detrimental to the empire. Perhaps, those things are in line with the chivalry of various schools of thought.
But... how does the chivalry of hundreds of schools compare with Zhu Xia's peace?
Small.
"Long history!"
"The sky will understand."
Tianming will naturally think about those things.
He sighed softly and nodded.
There are some things that I don’t want to do either.
But...it had to be done.
In the case of Lanling City, if he hadn't been there, Commander Bai Qianhong would have wiped out most of the people from hundreds of families in one battle.
Instead of leaving and running away in the end.
The Mohist affairs, if it were not for oneself, would be completely destroyed.
…
I don't want to use his power either.
Really don't want to.
But sometimes, I really have no choice. I don't want to see those weak people from various schools of thought being killed like that.
Chivalrous!
It's what you should do.
Therefore, he also knows the trouble caused to Qin.
No wonder Mencius once said that it is difficult to have both fish and bear's paws, and it is also difficult to have both life and righteousness.
Let yourself cut off the contact with all the schools of thought. In fact... you have no contact with them, really no contact.
It's just that sometimes, you can't help yourself.
Meng Yi didn't say much. His mission had been completed. As for Yan Dan's affairs, there was naturally a dedicated person in charge. It would be up to Mr. Tianming to see what he did next.
…
…
"Lord Dongjun!"
The residence of the Marquis of Wuzhen County.
A magnificent person carrying the Zhiyang totem stepped in.
Emperor E's subconscious gift. Although he is no longer a member of the Yin Yang family, some origins still exist.
The yin and yang Taoist rituals are finished, and the show is gentle.
"Your Excellency Dongjun!"
Wearing a Yunxia plain dress and long hair, Ji Yanran smiled and said, "I have benefited a lot from sitting and discussing Taoism with His Excellency Dongjun in the past few days."
What the two cultivate is yin and yang, and their origins are interoperable with each other. In addition, the method of cultivating life and life passed down by Wuzhen Junhou, their spiritual senses blend together, and they benefit even more.
"Ehuang!"
"Yanran!"
"Zhao Shui and the others have already gone to the prison?"
The dark blue lined long skirt is swaying, the dark golden outer shirt is imprinted with mysterious totems, and the shadow of the three-legged bird is looming, mixed with a different kind of strange texture.
Her long hair is tied low, sapphire hairpins are randomly embellished, and she has long walking boots. She has a graceful and graceful figure. She is walking in the small hall of the courtyard where she belongs. Her skin with divine light flowing around her is even more beautiful like a goddess.
Concubine Dongjun Yan also responded with a chuckle, her spiritual awareness flashed away, and she had a clear glimpse of the situation in the mansion.
"Does Your Excellency Dongjun know?"
Ji Yanran nodded.
"This matter is not a secret, and His Majesty has no intention of covering it up. Besides, there are many people paying attention to that person in Xianyang right now."
"Yan Dan!"
"Life and death are both in his own hands."
"I came here today to discuss a matter with Emperor E."
Yan Dan can be released today. The news has been spread. It is up to Prince Tianming of the Empire to ask Your Majesty for Yan Dan to be released.
Tsk tsk.
That's where things get interesting.
No wonder my own deduction... is also very interesting.
I don't care about Yan Dan's results. He... doesn't have the qualifications for me to care about him yet. Speaking of which, there was some connection with Yan Dan back then.
He probably wanted to use the power of the Yin Yang family to leave Xianyang, so he contacted him, but later...he ran away by chance.
"Is it... the incident with Canglong Qisu?"
Facing Dongjun's gaze, Ehuang thought for a moment.
I also know some things, and the Marquis of Wuzhen County also told me that his daughter...Princess Ruoshui of the Yan Kingdom is an important part of Canglong Qisu.
"good."
"For her, it's an opportunity."
This is what Dongjun said.
"Next year, will the mirage really be heading east?"
Ji Yanran was curious, Zhao Shui... was also his disciple, and he was qualified to ask whether she participated in Mirage's eastward journey.
Mirage!
That unparalleled ship has been in the sea for several years, and it is time to launch it. It was built by the First Emperor Ying Zheng in pursuit of immortality.
It is related to the life and death of the Yin Yang family of magicians.
Refining the elixir of immortality, Yin Yang family - life.
Otherwise, the consequences will be very troublesome.
"When the time comes, of course we have to go east."
The mirage has all been put in place, and the needed boys and girls, all summer treasures, and all kinds of things... are almost ready.
Canglong Qisu.
What His Excellency Donghuang said is related to the refining of the elixir of immortality, so... Zhao Shui, who will inherit the last glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, must go there.
Although Yan Dan... was qualified, it was a pity... Canglong Qisu didn't choose him, and besides, Zhao Shui was more suitable than Yan Dan.
"Lord Dongjun."
"I need time to reply to this matter."
"Zhao Shui also needs to ask her."
Emperor E did not agree directly.
"Of course you can."
"There is still plenty of time."
"Wuzhen County and Marquis may also go to Mirage this time, so...Ehuang, you don't need to worry. If you go east to the sea, Zhao Shui will not be able to make great progress in cultivation."
Dongjun didn't push him, he was sure of the matter himself.
And some things that were originally deduced have changed due to the appearance of Mr. Tianming. The future... is never static.
"Count the time."
"Zhaoshui and the others should be in prison at this moment."
Ji Yanran counted the time and looked in a direction outside the hall. That was the Beicheng State Prison, which was not far from the West City.
"Staying in state prison is a better choice."
Ehuang never thought that summoning water to rescue her father was a good thing.
Restraint means safety.
Freedom itself is dangerous.
"A lot of people are waiting for him to come out."
Concubine Dongjun Yan turned slightly and looked towards Beicheng.
…
…
"Commander Gao!"
"The giant is really going to be released by Ying Zheng, and he can come out later."
Xianyang North City.
Compared with the extremely lively Nancheng, they are two extremes. This place... is slightly quieter.
The area here is not small, and most of the people living here are close relatives of the royal family and the administrative office of Xianyang City. There are also residences of the old Qin people dotted nearby.
There... it was also one of the most central places when Xianyang City was first built. Over the past hundred years, with the gradual expansion of Xianyang City, everything has slowly changed.
Over the past few days, there have been more people and strangers on the streets of Beicheng. Despite this, the Xianyang Black Armored Army patrolling back and forth has not made any move.
Qin's law is to make decisions and then act.
As long as it doesn't break the law, you can do whatever you want.
In an ordinary house two miles away from the National Prison in Beicheng, many people gathered inside to pass on a piece of news from Xianyang to each other, and everyone was happy.
Everyone hopes.
Everyone is excited.
"That's right!"
Gao Jianli, who was holding the Shui Han Sword and dressed in white, also smiled.
Young Master Tianming is indeed the savior of the Mo family. He saved the life of the Mo family back then, and he is even saving the life of the Mo family now.
I really don’t know how to repay this kind of kindness.
And the princess, if she hadn't traveled thousands of miles to invite Mr. Tianming back from Nanhai County, everything would have been unpredictable.
At this time, all they can do is break into the state prison, hoping to rescue the giant.
No need to do this now.
Ying Zheng personally ordered the giant to be released.
"Commander Gao!"
"Master Tianming and the others have already entered the state prison. I think we can rescue the master later."
A man hurriedly approached from a distance, speaking of real-time news.
"Explore again."
"In this case, it seems we should prepare to leave."
"Here in Xianyang...the restrictions are too great."
Now that Young Master Tianming has entered the state prison, it is only a matter of moments before the giant is rescued. They should also organize themselves and prepare to leave Xianyang City.
When staying in Xianyang City, you need to pay attention to everything.
It's really too much pressure.
"yes!"
Everyone was even more happy and wanted to leave Xianyang a long time ago.
…
…
"Shui'er!"
"You're here again."
"Um?"
"...Tianming, it's you!"
"Are you really back? Xianyang and Lufeng are thousands of miles apart, but you are really back!"
In the darkest place in the deepest part of the prison, with the light of the lights, everything does not seem so cold and cold. The sound of footsteps is very clear when you enter.
As soon as you take a step forward, there will be a faint echo filling the air.
There are cells with thick cast iron walls on the left and right. The smell here is quite bearable. If you listen carefully, you can hear the faint breeze moving up and down.
Tianming and Zhao Shui appeared here with a volume of imperial edict.
Except for the entrance guard in front of this prison, there were no important people inside. Originally, Tianming thought that the Mo family could dig a tunnel to get in here.
Now, I no longer have that thought.
Because the floor of this prison... is all covered with water stones. According to my internal perception at this moment, the water stones are at least several feet thick.
Even with a little exertion and the ability to transform into a god, I could only leave a shallow footprint. It was so difficult to dig a tunnel!
In order to completely enter the deepest part of the state prison, a word came out. Although the voice was calm, it was mixed with a different kind of joy.
Then, I felt... more doubtful. After a few breaths, I used the flickering light of the light next to me to vaguely identify the person's identity.
Even more surprised.
"Father!"
"You can come out now. This is the edict of Xianyang Palace. You can leave the prison now. You can leave now."
Zhao Shui could not suppress his inner excitement. He grabbed the key to unlock the cell and the shackles in one hand, and the edict document in the other, and walked in quickly.
"Giant!"
Tianming nodded and followed Zhao Shui. He smiled at Zhao Shui's cheerful appearance. He liked to see Zhao Shui's current appearance.
"..."
"Zhao Shui has been away from Xianyang for so long. He must have gone to Nanhai County to look for you."
"The edict documents can go out."
"Ying Zheng, he does favor Mrs. Li and you."
If Zhao Shui had stayed in Xianyang, she would have come every three or two days, but... she had been vacant for a long time, maybe a month.
When I stay here, I lose track of time.
The day before yesterday, when I came back from calling for water, I said that I would be able to go out soon. I felt something about it because Shi Mengyi, the head of Xianyang Palace, also came and said some things.
Dawn.
Zhao Shui brought Tian Ming back from Lu Feng, Nanhai County.
She... was attentive.
Now... Ying Zheng has even issued the edict, can he go out? He... can indeed go out.
