Refine Gu to become immortal from one person

Chapter 564 Obviously Double the Happiness... (Two in One)

Although Wei Wuji already has a death wish in his heart, he is not the kind of person who would blindly dedicate his life when his mind is hot, so the funeral arrangements that should be arranged before that also need to be arranged one by one.

The Kingdom of Wei, the Three Jins, and most importantly... Canglong Qisu.

The process of Wei Wuji obtaining Canglong Qisu was quite accidental. Although he later understood the value of this thing through consulting various materials, he was still very confused about its use.

He only knew that this was the reason why the ancestors of the Wei family dared to split the state of Jin, and it was an important treasure that the clan must protect forever.

Wei Wuji has no heirs worth entrusting, so he can only choose to hand over this thing to his elder brother King Wei.

Because he had to use himself as bait, and as the commander of the coalition army, he couldn't sneak back to Wei to explain his funeral, so he had no choice but to let Zhu Hai quietly return to Daliang with Canglong Qisu and a secret letter.

However, how could Donghuang Taiyi, who had been eyeing him because of Canglong Qisu, let go of this opportunity?

Surrounded by a large army, it was difficult for him to strike, but on the way from Hedong to Daliang, there were too many opportunities.

Although Zhu Hai is the chief warrior under Lord Xinling, he is not on the same track at all compared to Donghuang Taiyi.

then……

"Is this Canglong Qisu?"

Holding the golden-green copper box, the veins on the back of Dong Huangtai's hand bulged slightly, showing how excited he was.

The copper box is about the size of a palm, with many simple patterns painted on it, and an irregular square pattern composed of four connecting lines is printed on the bottom.

Ordinary people may not be able to see what it represents, but as Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin Yang family, he is proficient in astrology and can tell at a glance that it is the Disu star map in the seven constellations of the Eastern Canglong.

The lower ones are attached to the horns and kangs, which are the front feet of the dragon.

It was this pattern that convinced Donghuang Taiyi of the identity of the box.

But apart from those decorations, the most eye-catching thing on the box is a cumbersome mechanism.

The reason why it is said to be cumbersome is because Donghuang Taiyi has been studying it for a long time but has not been able to open it.

"Maybe it's missing some key auxiliary items? Or maybe they don't need to be opened at all, they just need to be put together."

Chi Yao vaguely remembered that three conditions seemed to be needed to solve the riddle of Canglong Qisu.

Right time, right place, and right person?

"It should be so."

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi took advantage of the situation and went down the steps, relieving himself of the embarrassment he had just had, "We have already got the one from the state of Wei, and put aside the four of Qin, Han, Yanzhao for the time being, and put the one from the state of Qi there, so the only thing left is Chu's." country."

"Did your people find any clues?"

"The previous king of Chu, Xiong Wan, died suddenly, and he was inseparable from the Li family. Her son is naturally not enough to entrust important affairs. Although Ling Yin and Huang Xie have always been trusted by him, they are not members of the clan after all. The Tian family is on behalf of Qihe. The lessons learned from the three divisions are here, so he probably wouldn't do such a stupid thing."

Donghuang Taiyi recounted the harvest of the Yinyang family during this period.

"so what?"

"So this secret may fall on other clan members."

"Who are the outstanding performers in the Chu clan today?"

"Hehe, it's a bit ironic to say that there are no clan children who are too outstanding in Chu, but Qin..."

"Mr. Changping?"

"Brothers Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun can be said to be the most outstanding members of the Chu clan at present."

After all, sitting in the position of the left prime minister of the Qin State, it is not too much to say that he is the most outstanding.

"But based on the situation of King Chu at that time, can he have a way to quietly send things to Qin? Even if he can, isn't he afraid that meat buns will beat dogs and never return?"

Chi Yao is not optimistic about this guess.

The brothers Changpingjun and Changwenjun are the heirs of the previous king of Chu. It is true that in this era, there are many phenomena of receiving foreign protons back to the country to inherit the throne.But at least you have to wait until the person really comes back before you can deliver big things.I have never seen the most important treasure of the country directly sent out without even writing the horoscope.

"I didn't say that Xiong Wan sent Canglong Qisu out. I just suspected that he got Dong XZ up and left only clues. There may even be more than one clue."

Donghuang Taiyi explained slowly.

"Looking at it this way, finding Canglong Qisu is also a test for the heir?"

Chi Yao murmured, "Is it because you feel that the mother of the prince cannot be trusted, but you find it too late to resist, so you want to choose a new monarch from other clan members... This is more in line with the heart of a monarch."

"Then next, we need to select some clans of the Chu Kingdom to arrange monitoring. Do you have any key suspects?"

"Have."

Donghuang Taiyi spat out a name, "Compared to brothers Xiong Qi who are far away in Qin, Xiong Wan's other son, Xiong Yinchu, is more likely to get a clue!"

"Is the King of Chu negative? '

Chi Yao still admires Donghuang Taiyi's vision, although from his own point of view, the future king of Chu and Lord Changping are of course the best suspects. After all, from the perspective of vested interests, all of this Very reasonable.

But Donghuang Taiyi, who has no sky eyes, can make the same inference, which is quite extraordinary.Could it be that he used astrology to calculate these?
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. We don't need to disturb his puzzle-solving process, we just need to cut off the final result."

……

……

Anyi, the old capital of Wei State.

Mr. Xinling's sales of loopholes are indeed very effective, just as he believes that killing Wang Jian can greatly delay the pace of the Qin army's attack on the Six Kingdoms.

Wang Jian also understood the importance of Lord Xinling to the Six Kingdoms very well.

Among the four sons of the Warring States period, Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng was the one with the lowest ability and achievements. His greatest achievement was to defend the capital HD for three years under the siege of the Qin army, and then persuade Chu and Wei to send troops to repel the Qin army reasonably.

In contrast, Lord Chunshen opened up the territory of Chu State and ruled for decades; although Lord Mengchang was often criticized for his character, his ability was really super strong. Not a small achievement.At that time, his fief Xue even had the status of being independent from other countries.

As for Lord Xinling, he seemed to be a perfect man.

His achievements in rescuing Zhao Tuiqin twice are beyond reproach, and he is also of noble character, and his reputation is so high that he can be called a model for the world.

Qin State didn't pay much attention to the alliance of the six countries. After all, it wasn't the first time they encountered it. We just need to wait for their own internal collapse.

But this time, although there were still many problems within the allies, they never fell apart, and it really surprised Qin's monarch and ministers several times, all because of the coordination of Lord Xinling.

Therefore, from Qin's point of view, He Zong is not the biggest threat, but Lord Xinling is.

Especially when He Zong was about to fail, he was able to come up with a similar combat experiment of the integration of the three Jins, which almost brought the undead of the Jin Kingdom back to life.

Therefore, when Wang Jian realized that he might have the opportunity to remove this great threat for Qin, he was also very excited.

Unlike Li Mu who concentrates on military affairs, Wang Jian has such a high political sense even though his military ability is not weaker than him.

Now he also sees the internal situation of Qin State.

Although Qin State won the war this time, the price was that internal conflicts were postponed and inflated.

The dispute between the monarchy and the power of the prime minister, if it goes wrong, will bring Qin into great trouble.

It would be fine if the king was weaker. In the past ten years, Lu Buwei, the prime minister, has actually done a very competent job.He got along very well with the former King Zhuang Xiang. King Zhuang Xiang was weak and sick, and the general affairs were left to Lu Buwei to handle.

But Qin Wangzheng is different. He is young, capable and ambitious, and he is not willing to be a monarch like the previous king.

Both the king and Xiangguo are extremely capable, which should have been a double surprise for Qin, but unfortunately, things in the world don't always go as expected.

As the saying goes, there are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country, and the struggle between the two is inevitable.

This time, the biggest reason why Qin State was so passive in the early stage of the war was that the time when the joint party launched the war happened to be stuck at the time when the king was about to have a showdown with the prime minister.

At that time, there was an undercurrent surging in the court of Qin State, and the major generals in the military chose to transfer outside because they were reluctant to get involved in this matter, out of sight and out of mind.

In this way, it gave the Six Nations an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, although the conflict between Qin Wang and Lu Xiang was suppressed by foreign enemies this time, it does not mean that it will disappear. It will need to be resolved sooner or later, and when it is resolved, it will inevitably be another turmoil.If Wei Wuji survived, with his strategic vision, what would he do next time he took advantage of this opportunity to make trouble?
So Wang Jian made up his mind to eliminate hidden dangers for Qin!
……

……

Two people with the same idea launched a fierce confrontation full of intrigues in the land of Hedong.

One side is Lord Xinling, who is famous all over the world, and the other side is the brightest general of Qin State at present. This peak duel has almost attracted the attention of the whole world.

In contrast, the son of the former King of Chu and the younger brother of the current King of Chu, Gongzi Xiangchu, did not care about some small actions in the country.

But there are no absolutes.

For example, the Yin Yang family has a small team to watch him.

When he sent his subordinates to leave Yingdu in disguise, Donghuang Taiyi immediately got the news.

"Have you finally started to move?"

He smiled lightly, and was not in a hurry to follow. After all, if Xiong Wan really left his son with some puzzles that only they can solve, then the best way is to wait for him to take the things before doing it. .

If you strike halfway, wouldn't it be embarrassing if you don't know how to solve the riddle?

So Donghuang Taiyi still ordered his subordinates to focus on the movements of Negium. As for the subordinates he sent out, they can follow if it is convenient, but if it is inconvenient, forget it.

As for Chi Yao, he was rarely busy during this time.

Because of the war between Qin and Chu, the peace that had been maintained in the land of Bashu for decades was broken.

Villages, small towns, and beacons everywhere.

Due to the lack of troops for multi-line combat, Qin State conscripted many civilians on the spot to help ensure the logistics supply.

Obviously, this process will not be very gentle, and after the family loses the mainstay, many families have difficulty even maintaining their own livelihood.

Therefore, a lot of refugees appeared in Bashu and Sichuan in the blink of an eye.

Some of them ran away with their children after their husbands were captured; some of them simply ran away with their whole family in order to escape being captured.

Fortunately, there are many mountains in Bashu, and Qin Jun didn't have so much time to send people to search the mountains to find them.

But the environment on the mountain is harsh after all, and not everyone can live there forever.

As a result, more people have been migrating, avoiding the search of the Qin army in a way similar to guerrilla warfare.

However, this is not a long-term solution, and some local big families are also cooperating with the Qin army to investigate the flow of personnel.

Under such circumstances, someone finally asked for Shushan.

In the years since Bashu returned to Qin, Qin State has been very strict on Shushan, and Shushan has been coveted by the Yinyang family because of the crime of pregnant Bi, so the elder has been backing down, unwilling to cause more trouble.

It is precisely because of this style of appeasement that Shushan's prestige in the eyes of the people of Bashu has dropped again and again.

If they remain indifferent this time, the holy land that once represented the faith of the entire Bashu may exist in name only.

Moreover, most of the Shushan disciples came from Bashu and Shushan. Although some people later moved their families to live together at the foot of Shushan Mountain, some disciples did not want to move. In addition, their relatives and friends were also affected to varying degrees in this incident. .

So even if Shushan didn't move, many of those affected disciples would ask for orders to go down the mountain.

"Rather than that, let us do it."

Chi Yao said to the Great Elder, "At least if we come forward, Qin will give more or less face. If the disciples are allowed to act without authorization, if there is a conflict with the Qin army, things will become more difficult. .”

"What you said makes sense, but..."

The Great Elder nodded slightly at first, expressing agreement with his point of view, but then frowned again, "The attitude of Qin State towards us has never been very good. Even if I step forward, I am afraid it will be difficult to change the current situation in Bashu."

"Elder, please rest assured that today is different from the past,"

Chi Yao looked confident, "Qin needs our assistance if it wants to defend Bashu. On the contrary, if we help Chu, then the ownership of this area may still be discussed."

"Okay! Then I'll..."

The Great Elder slapped his crutches, and as soon as he finished speaking, a disciple reported outside.

"Qin Jun sent envoys?"

The Great Elder looked at Chi Yao in surprise.

"It seems that they have realized the value of Shushan,"

There was no surprise or emotion on Chi Yao's face, and he said calmly, "Let's go, just in case we go down the mountain to look for it."

……

……

The overall style of Shushan is very simple, and there is no such building as the head hall, so the messenger is sitting in an ordinary guest room.

After the Great Elder and Chi Yao came over, the man turned around and cupped his hands casually: "Shui Ren, I have met the Great Elder of Shushan!"

Hearing his name, the Great Elder frowned.

The Shui family is a large family in central Shu, and a family with a relatively good relationship with Qin.If you are going to be an envoy to other places, even if you are going to the camp of the Chu army, it is enough to be the head of the tax Ren clan.

But it won't work against Shushan.

Because before being annexed by the Qin State, the status of Mount Shu was paramount in Bashu, and it was an honor for a person like Shui Ren to meet the Great Elder.

So sending such an envoy shows that Qin Jun probably doesn't have much respect for Shushan in his heart.

Sure enough, Shui Ren's next sentence fully exposed this attitude: "Our army has learned that many Shu people have fled to the border of Shu Mountain to avoid military service, and I hope that the Great Elder will cooperate and let me take those people away. .”
