Chapter 306 Don't owe the east wind, live together
Xianyang Palace, Changle Palace.
Ji Xian went to the palace to see his daughter, and Han Yue from the Xiangying Palace next door heard the news and rushed over.
My daughter's face was filled with joy, she was obviously having a very happy life in the palace, and so was Han Yue next to her.
Both women have pretty faces and bright complexions.
Ji Xian looked at the words and expressions and realized that his daughter had not suffered any grievances in the palace and was living a comfortable life, so he felt relieved.
"Father, Qin and Chu are at war again..." Ji Ju raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ji Xian.
Rip off!
Almost subconsciously, Ji Xian stood up from behind the low seat and said, "Father suddenly remembered some things that haven't been dealt with yet, and he's quite urgent. I'll leave now. My son is fine in the palace, so I can rest assured."
Alright." Before he finished speaking, he walked out of the hall.
Ji Ju was stunned.
She really didn't want to rip off this time, so she mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect that her father was so deeply worried.
When Ji Xian walked to the door, he happened to see Zhao Huaizhong surrounded by Liu Qi and other chamberlains.
Weng and son-in-law met each other.
Zhao Huaizhong smiled and said: "Master, are you coming to see Ji Yu? Why don't you stay a little longer?"
Ji Xian shook his head: "Don't wait any longer, it's quite dangerous."
Zhao Huaizhong invited: "It is rare for me to have leisure time, and it is rare for the head of the family to enter the palace. How about playing a few games of chess with me before leaving?"
The king of the country personally invited him, but Ji Xian could not refuse, so he followed Zhao Huaizhong back.
Weng and son-in-law came to the study to kill time by playing chess.
After playing several games in a row, Ji Xian lost every time. He lost face and didn't want to play anymore.
He pointed to the chessboard in front of him and changed the subject: "I have never seen what kind of material this chessboard is made of."
The chessboard was crystal clear, with a faint glimmer of light. Even the chess pieces were made of the same material, making them look like otherworldly objects.
Zhao Huaizhong said: "This is carved from a kind of coral produced in the deep sea, so it has a strange light and illusion, and is as bright as jade.
This chessboard took several years to slowly and finely grind and shape. It is indeed a rare item. It was sent by the Yan people a few years ago.
If the master of the house likes it, he will give it to the master of the house."
Ji Xian really liked this chessboard and couldn't help but feel itchy.
Jun Wu said it jokingly. When Zhao Huaizhong said it as a gift, he really wanted to give it to him, and it was not a polite word.
Ji Xian nodded excitedly and put the chessboard away.
Zhao Huaizhong smiled, pointed to the chessboard and said: "Playing chess is like fighting. This time our Qin army will use troops against Chu..."
When Ji Xian heard about the war against Chu, he immediately pushed the chessboard:
"I don't want this chessboard anymore. The King of Qin doesn't know something. At the beginning of the attack on Chu, my Ji family donated a cave of rice and grain, but there really is no balance left."
Zhao Huaizhong teased: "The master of the house is worrying too much. Our Great Qin is not short of food."
Ji Xian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." After saying that, he pulled the chessboard in front of him, fumbled and looked at it, and couldn't put it down.
Zhao Huaizhong said again: "But I, Da Qin, are short of money."
Ji Xian's hands were fixed on the chessboard and he raised his head: "So you don't want food, but you want money?"
Zhao Huaizhong said bluntly: "Yes."
Ji Xian asked in a trembling voice: "How much do you want?"
Zhao Huaizhong: "As much as you want."
Ji Xian's eyes started to darken again, and he quickly woke up. He had fallen into a new routine, including his encounter with Zhao Huaizhong just now, and his subsequent chess game. They were all part of the routine. By collecting the chessboard, he had swallowed the bait.
This chessboard is indeed rare, but Shen's hands are so tight that it is not easy to get the things belonging to King Qin.
Taking this chessboard will cost you dearly.
"The Chu people have a vast territory. I have discussed with the generals that if we can capture the Chu territory as soon as possible, we must send out a large army to push back the Chu people with overwhelming force. Only then can we hope to end the war between Qin and Chu as soon as possible."
Zhao Huaizhong said slowly: "The Ji family is a clan of the Five Emperors. In our land of Central Plains, among the families who are prominent and wealthy, accumulated over thousands of years, the Ji family is the most important.
Ju'er told me that the Ji family is richer than any other country in the world."
This unlucky girl... Ji Xian's mouth was bitter: "Then you can't target my Ji family and knock it hard until it breaks."
I got anxious and told the truth directly.
Zhao Huaizhong waved his hand and said dumbly: "It's not in vain, now it is obvious that our Great Qin has conquered the world. I can promise the family owner that when our Great Qin is unified, Fanji's property and various taxes will be halved.
When the Qin Dynasty conquered Chu, the Ji family provided money and food, which was a great achievement, and I will never forget it."
If you say that, we can still discuss it... Ji Xian quickly calculated in his mind that in the long run, the Ji family will not suffer any loss.
Zhao Huaizhong is well versed in negotiation and follows the temptation to increase his bargaining chips: "In addition, I can also promise the family leader that he will help the family leader advance to the second realm of saints and become an innate saint in the future."
Ji Xian shuddered and his eyes widened: "Seriously?"
Being an innate saint is the realm that he has always dreamed of, even in his dreams.
Taking another step forward in spiritual practice is his greatest desire.
He knew his qualifications and had little hope of reaching the Innate Saint Realm. If someone else said that he could help him break into the Innate Saint Realm, Ji Xian would sneer at it. The Saint Realm cannot be forcibly promoted by human power.
But Zhao Huaizhong was different. Rather than his status as the leader of the country, what Ji Xian looked up to and admired more was his achievements in spiritual practice.
The Ji family has produced many amazing and talented people for thousands of years, but none of them can reach the heights of Zhao Huaizhong. He has only practiced for six years and has reached the fifth realm of saints. Genius is simply not enough to describe him.
Because of this, Zhao Huaizhong said he could help him become an innate saint.
He believed it as soon as he heard it, without any doubt.
Thinking of the various benefits of being a congenital saint, one is reborn by swallowing clouds and drinking dew, one's longevity is greatly increased, etc.
How much will it cost to buy just the increase in longevity?
This business was worthwhile. Ji Xian was hit at the soft spot in his heart, but he still wanted to take a moment and said:
"When King Qin asks, it's hard for me to refuse, but my Ji family doesn't make the decision alone. If I ask for too much, I'm afraid other branches won't agree."
Finally he asked: "I wonder how much King Qin wants?"
When Zhao Huaizhong said a number, Ji Xian's face suddenly turned pale, and he felt that the innate sage suddenly lost his scent: "How did King Qin know the inventory figures of my Ji family? The number given is so accurate!"
Before he finished speaking, he realized that it must have been said by the prodigal girl.
"My father-in-law, don't worry. I won't cheat my own family. The future is long and I won't make it difficult for you. I will make up for the Ji family the next day." Zhao Huaizhong said calmly.
Ji Xian took a long breath and felt comfortable again.
He has two long-cherished wishes. One is to make further progress in spiritual practice.
The other is to be the father-in-law of the most powerful man in the world, the Lord of Qin.
Although the second one was taken in, Zhao Huaizhong never called him face to face. He waited for this moment to call him, which was extremely lethal.
Once Ji Xian's two long-cherished wishes were fulfilled, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just follow what the King of Qin... my son-in-law said. This money... comes from my Ji family."
Zhao Huaizhong also breathed a sigh of relief.
War is never just a decisive victory on the battlefield, but also a contest of national strength, people's strength, financial resources, material resources, and all aspects.
The Qin Dynasty fought for many years and had plenty of rice and grain, but there was no balance in the national treasury.
This time the attack on Chu was short of money, so the battle would end in a start and end, and Qin itself would collapse halfway through the battle.
With the support of the Ji family's wealth accumulated over thousands of years and their industries all over the world, the battle with the Chu people will be more confident, everything is ready, and there is no shortage of east wind.
What's left is a pure battlefield confrontation, a decisive battle without worries.
Compared with the military front, Qin has never been weaker than others.
Fight, the time to swallow Chu is right before your eyes.
Ji Xian walked out of the Qin Palace holding the most expensive chessboard in the world in exchange for half of the Ji family's wealth.
Although I was ripped off the most severely this time, I was actually very happy.
Not only because I am used to being ripped off, but more importantly, the harvest this time is big enough and worth it.

The sunset reflects the sky, and there is an endless sea of clouds thousands of feet high in the sky.
At this moment, there was a ray of light flying across the sea of clouds.
Suddenly, the stream of light slowed down, and it turned out to be an old man wearing a blue robe.
His complexion is like jade, he has a wide robe and long sleeves, and he is tall and tall. He walks with his hands behind his back, one step at a time, like a fairy.
Within a few steps, in front of the old man, the sea of clouds receded, and a mountain gate emerged with a towering archway, sitting like a majestic peak on the sea of clouds.
Behind the archway, there are countless palaces, majestic and majestic, with raised corners and cornices. They are just like the heavenly palaces in the fairyland in myths and legends.
The old man passed through the archway, and the sea of clouds moved away, hiding many archways and palaces, and disappeared without a trace.
The old man walked forward with his hands behind his hands. Many people he met along the way saluted him respectfully and called him the Ninth Heavenly Lord.
Soon after, the old man walked into a large hall.
In the hall, two people were sitting and talking, a man and a woman.
The man is also an old man, the woman is middle-aged and has a gorgeous temperament. Both of them wear Taoist robes.
"Yu Tianjun went out to inspect various caves this time. How is the situation?"
The middle-aged woman who still retains her charm asked.
The man called Yu Tianjun is the old man who returned all the way, his real name is Yu Qing.
"Not so good, another cave was destroyed by the Qin people."
Yu Qing found a low jade table seat by himself, sat down and said:
"The people of Qin relied on China's human destiny, but the King of Qin did not know what to do and messed up many of my plans."
Middle-aged woman: "It's just a mortal fight, it doesn't have much to do with us. Why is Yu Tianjun so angry?"
"I went to China for a walk, and it happened that Hunyuan Cave Heaven was attacked. That arrow was the inheritance I left behind. Liu Xu, the Lord of Cave Heaven, was killed. It was the arrow shot by the Lord of Qin himself.
I took Dongtian away, and the Lord of the Qin people was so arrogant that he shot an arrow at me from the air.
Although the arrows were defeated by me, they were still annoying.
The master of the Qin people is so rude that if he unifies China, all the inheritance we have left behind will be killed by him, and none of them will survive."
Yu Tianjun said: "I have decided to use the battle between Qin and Chu to fight with the King of Qin."
It turns out that this old man was the one who released his power through the ancestor's scroll and took away the Hunyuan Cave Heaven.
He is also the "Shangzong" of Jiejiao, one of the people who has been hiding behind the scenes.
"How dare the Lord of the Qin people attack the Lord of Heaven?"
The middle-aged woman and the other old man looked surprised, quite unexpected.
"What level of practice has King Qin reached?" the woman asked.
Jiutian Lord Yu Qing reached out and flicked it, and Liu Xu's body appeared on its own.
The center of his brow was shot by the Nine Beast Bow, leaving a bloody hole as thick as a small finger, with burnt marks on the edges.
With everyone watching, Yu Tianjun stretched out his hand to hold it, and a wisp of energy was taken out from the eyebrows of Liu Xu's corpse.
The energy machine was so hot that it turned into the shadow of an arrow after being captured.
The sound of phoenix singing could be faintly heard from the shadow, and the appearance of a phoenix bird flying with spread wings was faintly visible.
Its body was blazing with flames, and its feathers were flapping after it emerged. It still had a strong aggressiveness and suddenly attacked Yu Qing.
Yu Qing flipped his hand and clapped it, and the Phoenix Bird Dharma Object exploded and disintegrated into fine streams of mana.
Miraculously, the stream of mana was still able to condense and retract into the center of Liu Xu's eyebrows.
"This is the arrow that King Qin fired when he pushed a certain immortal weapon, the crossbow." Yu Qing said.
"The magic power is in harmony with the heaven and the earth. It still has spirituality after being separated from the body, and it will last forever. This is the level of a five-level saint. It is only one step away from achieving the Golden Immortal Way, but the magic power is not inferior to us.
But it relies on the magical weapon to exert such power, relying on the power of the magical weapon itself.
Comparing this, he is still far behind me." said the middle-aged woman.
"Um."
Yu Qing: "But with his level of strength, he can run amok in China, so he dares to be so arrogant."
"Right now Qin is attacking Chu. In the past few years, the Qin people have destroyed the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han and Wei."
"Is Lord Jiutian planning to use the Chu people as a chess piece to contain the Qin people?"
"Exactly."
Jiutian Lord Yu Qing nodded.
————
What Yu Qing didn't expect was that when he took away the Queen of Hunyuan Cave that day, Zhao Huaizhong responded immediately and ordered an intensified attack on Chu.
At the end of February, the 30,000-strong Qin army launched an army, marched from the southeast of the Qin people to the junction of the northern border of the Chu people, entered Chu, then cut diagonally across the Chu territory, and marched westward.
The Qin army on the eastern front also began to attack Chu with all its strength.
The entire Qin army mobilized, and the offensive unfolded like a violent storm.
The Secret Qin army that has just entered the battlefield are all veterans of the Imperial Army. They have been fighting for many years. They are also wearing the latest Secret armor. Their soldiers are sharp and invincible.
Even Meng Ao, the frontline commander, was surprised by his combat power.
Starting from the end of February, the Qin army secretly entered Chu, and the next day they penetrated the Chu army's protection and secured the two border cities.
After that, the Qin army went all the way to the west, and finally reunited with the Qin army Wang Jian's troops on the western front, and then turned around and entered the Chu territory again.
This time the march route was changed from the Chu people's western line to the southwest.
The Qin army's strategy for attacking Chu was to take advantage of Chu's vast territory and difficulty in defending, and to repeatedly attack Chu with the purpose of completely tearing apart its defense line. They were unable to take care of each other and were riddled with holes.
The war between Qin and Chu has begun.
When Lord Yu Qing of the Ninth Heaven made arrangements and arranged for people to enter the Middle Earth to intervene in the battle between Qin and Chu, he realized that he had taken more than one step and Qin had taken the lead. The situation of the Chu people was already quite unfavorable.
