"When will the people from the Six Kingdoms arrive in Xianyang?"
"Last time I, the Qin Dynasty, attacked Korea and forced the Koreans to cede three cities to a truce. Since then, we have had no friction with other countries, so the six countries all want to visit us as soon as possible to find out our true and false intentions.
The envoys from Han, Wei and Zhao who are close by are already on their way, followed closely by the Chu people. Qi Yan is far away and may be a little later.
The Koreans are the most anxious and they are close, so they are almost there." Xin Wu replied.
Zhao Huaizhong said yes, and Xin Wu stood aside and took on the responsibility of guard.
The next day.
In the morning, Zhao Huaizhong attended the court meeting and drove to Ye Yufu.
On the carriage, he held a bamboo scroll in his hand, bowed his head and read silently: "When the people are weak, the country is strong, and the country is strong when the people are weak. Therefore, the affairs of a well-mannered state depend on the weak people... A country that can defeat powerful enemies and dominate the world must control its own people so that
It’s “weak” rather than “promiscuous”.”
What Zhao Huaizhong is reading is the Book of Shang Jun, which is based on the theory of Legalist Shang Yang.
Legalism can be said to be the political spokesperson of the common people in this era. In politics, it is "unique in the world". First there are Guan Zhong, Shen Buhai, Shang Yang, and later Han Feizi, who embodies the great achievements of Legalism.
"There is no distinction between intimacy and distance, no distinction between high and low. Once we break up with the law, it is easier said than done."
Han Feizi should have finished his studies at Jixia and returned to Korea. I would like to meet this person if I have a chance... Zhao Huaizhong thought.
In the inherent history, Han Feizi's ending seems not to be good. He finally entered the Qin Dynasty but did not gain the trust of the First Emperor. He was framed by Li Si and others, and did not end well.
However, many things in this world have changed, which obviously cannot be measured by inherent history.
The First Emperor himself was also considered a leader in the Legalist system. He promoted the rule of law and relied heavily on the Legalist Li Si.
Zhao Huaizhong pondered for a moment, put down Shang Jun's book, and glanced at the street scene outside the carriage. After looking back, his mind moved slightly, and Da Yue Ge flew down from his head, turned into a ray of light, and fell into his hand, full of spirituality.
.
When he thought again, the big moon sword quickly grew to seven or eight inches in length, less than the thickness of a child's arm. Invisible incantations appeared on the sword's handle, which appeared and disappeared indefinitely.
The green light flowing all over the body reveals a hint of blue, and it is a killing weapon, but it gives people a magnificent and exquisite look.
Since Zhao Huaizhong came into contact with cultivation, he has made rapid progress. He has now reached the third level of the Holy Realm, but he has never had the chance to take action.
At this time, he looked at Da Yue Ge and suddenly got the idea to test the power of this Ge.
Among the nine swords of Lihun, there is a style called Wukong Style, which can control the sword and break through the air, so it can be used to perform it.
Zhao Huaizhong made a secret with one hand, urging the flying posture to combine with Da Yue Ge.
Without any sound, Da Yue Ge turned into a wisp of light, rose into the sky, and flew away into the distance.
In the process of breaking through the sky, its size increased and turned into a length of ten feet. Its momentum was so brilliant that it suddenly broke through the clouds and arrived outside Xianyang City.
Boom!
Above the clouds, cyan lightning suddenly appeared, coiling like an angry dragon, raising its head and roaring.
The Big Moon Ge fell straight from the sky to the outskirts of Xianyang City.
With a loud sound like a thunderbolt, it suddenly penetrated a low mountain on the outskirts of the city, and a hole as thick as an arm's length was pierced in the middle of the mountain with a diameter of 100 meters.
The force of the attack continued, and finally struck the ground more than ten feet away behind the mountain, buzzing and trembling, and a clear light rising into the sky.
The ground was also covered with cracks and scorched earth.
This is the first time that Zhao Huaizhong has used it freely. In conjunction with Da Yue Ge, the power displayed is enough to break mountains and crack the earth.
He placed his consciousness on Da Yue Ge and experienced the whole process. He was filled with relief, and the majestic power in his body seemed to have been vented.
And the moment Dayuege penetrated the mountains outside the city and was inserted into the ground, the entire Xianyang shook slightly and the ground trembled.
"Such a big movement... I'm afraid it will cause quite a stir."
Prince Zhao felt physically and mentally refreshed after using Fei Ge. With his thoughts, the Da Yue Ge outside the city shrank instantly, turned into a ray of light, disappeared, and returned to his hand after a moment.
Outside the city, shortly after Dayuege disappeared, four or five figures appeared, paying attention to the surrounding 'disaster area'.
Several of them were Xianyang's patrol generals, who were on duty at the top of the city. They felt the vibration outside the city and the changes in the atmosphere of heaven and earth, so they immediately came to check.
The surrounding ground seemed to have been washed by lightning, with scorched earth everywhere.
The ground, which is dozens of feet in diameter, has sunk several feet, and the cracks in the middle are like tree roots, dense and intertwined, which is shocking.
Several generals looked at the hills in the distance and said in shock:
"What kind of force caused this damage? It actually penetrated a stone mountain of about forty feet."
"At least it's a holy realm."
"Who is so bold and dares to do this around Xianyang..."
One of the generals stretched out his hand toward the short mountain and shouted softly: "Get up!" He saw wisps of breath swarming in the damaged hole in the short mountain, as if the shadow of a weapon was about to emerge.
But then it dissipated, and the general couldn't hold it back at all.
Several generals looked solemn: "Report this matter to Ye Yufu immediately and ask them to send someone to find out the cause..."
After the generals left, several waves of people came to check on the situation overtly or covertly. They all looked shocked.
When Zhao Huaizhong's chariot arrived at Ye Yu Mansion, a whole team of soldiers were galloping out of the mansion to check outside the city.
Dayuege's blow caused quite a stir, but Zhao Huaizhong decided not to say anything about it, and had to settle the matter. The main reason was that he did not intend to regard this operation as a one-time deal.
Since I don’t have a chance to actually do it, I might have to try my skills again next time I have a breakthrough in practice.
If you admit that you did it, it will be inconvenient for you to be so naughty again in the future.
You guys can check it out. Anyway, all the case files will be summarized to me in the end. I’ll just pretend I didn’t see it... Zhao Huaizhong turned around and looked at Xin Wu.
Although Dayue Ge came and went without a trace just now, Xin Wu became his bodyguard and was by his side at that time. With Xin Wu's strength, it was impossible for him to be unaware of it.
Seeing Zhao Huaizhong looking over, Xin Wu said in a clear voice: "Don't worry, Prince, I will never dare to talk too much."
Be sensible... Prince Zhao nodded, got off the carriage, and walked into Ye Yu's Mansion with his hands behind his back.
Three-quarters of an hour later, he received a report from his subordinates who went to the outside of the city for a thorough investigation and then sent him the case file:
"At noon today, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred on the outskirts of the city. The sound of thunder shook for hundreds of miles. After investigation, it was found that a mountain with a diameter of forty feet was penetrated outside the city. The inside of the mountain is made of stone. The mountain is solid and there are no casualties..."
The dossier is eloquent and analyzed very carefully.
It's quite a strange feeling to watch others describe the "crime scene" they created.
Zhao Huai smiled secretly in his heart. After reading it, he made an annotation on the dossier - Read it!
Xin Wu took the case file, glanced at it, took it outside and handed it to General Ye Yufu who was waiting for comments so that he could act accordingly.
The general took the case file, saw that he had read it and then stopped talking about it. He raised his head in surprise and asked Xin Wu: "The last general is stupid, what do you mean by this, do you want to continue investigating or..."
"Stop it, there is no need to investigate this matter further." Xin Wu had no expression on his face.
Not checking? Why not checking... The general's head was full of questions but he didn't dare to ask, so he walked away in confusion.
In the evening, Zhao Huaizhong, who had been in a happy mood all day, returned to Xianyang Palace, where he sat cross-legged and practiced meditation, receiving the power of heaven and earth, refining himself and increasing his strength.
When he closed his eyes, the power in his body circulated, and there was a tidal sound, as if the waves were crashing on the coast, and it seemed that it could break through the embankment at any time and enter a new level.
The long night.
The next day is the last day of December.
Also on this day, at the east gate of Xianyang City, Korean envoys entered the city. The procession meandered. There were more than twenty carriages, more than half of which were loaded with various precious items.
South Korea has been oppressed by the Qin Dynasty in recent years. With this mission, it also has the intention of repairing and easing relations between the two countries.
They made full preparations for this trip.
In addition to the obvious intention, the Koreans also have a hidden purpose. If it succeeds, it is likely to win the most important breathing space for the Koreans, at least for a few years.
The key to everything lies with the plumber Zheng Guo who came with the mission.
