Luo Ning entered the ancient Cangyun Pavilion and picked up a jade slip in his left hand.

Everyone looked at him holding the book and were a little curious about how he, a blind man, could read.

But Luo Ning first put the jade slip under his nose, sniffed it, nodded and said:
"Well, this jade slip is more than 7000 years old."

He raised his head, his expression seemed to be filled with nostalgia, "This smell is green and mellow, it should be the handiwork of some Taoist in ancient times."

He could smell that these jade slips were books written by monks!

Everyone looked in admiration. Because this jade slip is said to be indeed seven to eight thousand years old.

The Imperial Master can tell the age just by sniffing it. It's really better than a dog... No, it's really amazing.

But, what does Taoist mean?
Then, Luo Ning stretched out his right hand and touched it, and the handwriting engraved on the jade slip was immediately clearly perceived.

The blind young man said again: "So the name of this book is "The Book of Divine Beetles", what does it say?"

He opened the jade slip, rubbed one side with his right hand from top to bottom, and suddenly understood.

This seems to be a simple matter of rubbing it with your hands, and every word can be read out.

It’s even faster than reading with your eyes!
It’s like reading with your heart!

Luo Ning nodded while touching the words.

It turns out that "The Book of Divine Beetles" is actually a scripture used by Gu Tao monks to practice the art of Gu.

However, because it was too old, too mysterious and too profound, it was originally regarded as absurd and almost burned.

Soon, Luo Ning finished reading the entire "Shen Jing Jing".

Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

Read by touch!

They've heard of reading by touch. But reading by touch is so fast, even faster than reading with eyes, they have never heard of it.

Moreover, the words on this ancient slip are from ancient times and need to be interpreted slowly.

But the national teacher read so quickly.

It's just amazing.

Anyone can see that Luo Ning is not playing tricks, but has actually read the contents of the ancient book.

No wonder a blind man can also be a national teacher.

Seeing Luo Ning finish reading "The Book of Divine Beetles" and then touching the second volume of ancient bamboo slips, everyone was in admiration.

Next, Luo Ning immersed himself in reading ancient bamboo slips without any distractions.

As he interpreted the ancient slips, he became more and more confident that he could find clues to leaving this world.

And the fact that he touched and read the ancient slips has spread throughout the palace.

Even King Yong has heard about it.

No wonder the Imperial Master is so young and blind, yet he is as knowledgeable as the ocean.

It turns out that he can touch words as if he were a god!
What a gift of creation.

"I have ordered that from today onwards, I will send a portion of my meal to Qingjian Palace and give it to the Imperial Master."

"No one is allowed to disturb the Imperial Master's study."

King Yong personally gave the order.

……

half a month ago.

Luoyang, Yunyang Palace.

Lu Pianpian is convening the princes or representatives of various countries to discuss matters.

At this time, Luoning, who was far away in Chang'an, had not yet entered the palace to see King Yong.

There are already four monarchs, one regent princess, and three princes in Luoyang.

Although the Kingdom of Yu was reestablished and Luoyang became the capital of the Kingdom of Yu again, the person who made the decision was no longer the 13-year-old King of Yu, but Lu Pianpian, who was grateful for the restoration of the Kingdom of Yu.

Everyone knows that the newly established King Yu is a young man who only obeys the orders of "Princess Wuyang" and is grateful to Princess Wuyang.

After Lu Pianpian defeated Yong's army, he did not annex the Yu Kingdom, but reestablished the Yu Kingdom. All the kings and courts were sincerely convinced of this.

This allowed Lu Pianpian, as the regent princess of the Yan Kingdom, to be willingly elected as the leader of the alliance by all the countries.

The kings of all countries respected Lu Pianpian and respected her as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces to unite all countries to fight against Yong.

As a result, Lu Pianpian shocked the world and became the No. 1 influencer in the world!
Her power and prestige has surpassed that of King Yong, who was feared by the princes.

Nowadays, Lu Pianpian is personally in charge of Luoyang, and he can be said to be looking over the world, with a powerful influence all over the world.

Luoyang has also become the base camp of the coalition forces of various countries, with 300 million troops stationed.

The originally arrogant Yong army had no choice but to retreat to the Yong mainland after being defeated in the east and losing Yuzhou.

Use precious troops to defend the entire front, and rely on the steep Guanshan Mountains to resist the coalition forces of various countries.

The morale of the coalition forces was boosted by Princess Wuyang's encouragement.

Even if he did not have the ability to conquer the Yong Kingdom, he still shattered the Yong Kingdom's hegemony of annexing other countries.

Every day, people from various countries continuously transport grain and grass from Liang, Jing, and Yang in the south, Yan, Qing, and Xu in the east, and Ji in the north.

At this moment.

In the main hall of Yunyang Palace, the nominal owner, King Yu Wenxin, was only sitting on the side seat, but sitting on the main seat was a woman wearing a silver mask.

It was Lu Pianpian.

Lu Pianpian sat in the main seat, flanked by King Mengxi of Jing, Wenxin of Yu, Guli of Yang, and Jingkui of Xu.

As well as Prince You of Ji State, Prince Lai of Qing State, and Prince Cheng of Liang State, these three princes fully represent the monarch.

Although Lu Pianpian was presiding over the meeting of princes, she was a little absent-minded.

We have been looking for Luo Ning for so long. There are reward notices in all eight countries, but Luo Ning has not been found yet.

This shows that Luoning is either in the Yong Kingdom or in a wild land outside Kyushu.

What's worse could be... something happens to him.

Lu Pianpian was anxious in her heart, and she didn't even care much about the major events in the countries today.

She needs to negotiate peace with Yong Guo immediately, and then ask Yong Guo to issue an edict to find Luo Ning.

Without the cooperation of King Yong, how can we find Luoning when the Yong Kingdom is so big and has such a large population?

As for conquering Yong Kingdom...she will definitely have to fight for at least several years, and the battle will get bigger and bigger.

Lu Pianpian looked around at everyone and said: "Everyone, now the King of Donghu is going south, the King of Xirong is advancing eastward, and the hundreds of thousands of Hus have joined forces to attack Yong together."

"Although the Yong army is strong, it is surrounded by enemies on all sides and can only protect itself. But if we want to invade Guanzhong and destroy Yong, it will be extremely difficult."

"Yong's army suffered a big loss in Guandong. How can we not draw lessons from it? Yong's army is already building heavy cavalry with equipment."

"It will be difficult to defeat Yong's army again."

"Furthermore, the Yong Kingdom is surrounded by mountains and dangerous obstacles. It can be said to be impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the coalition forces can capture it, I don't know how long it will take and how many soldiers will be killed in the battle."

She pointed outside, "In order to supply the coalition forces with food and grass, the citizens of various countries have recruited more than tens of millions of people. They are transporting food and grass day and night. The people and material resources are consumed hugely every day. How can it last?"

"If it takes another year, all our countries will be exhausted."

"Besides, we were fighting against the Yong army in a dangerous situation, but it was the Hu people who took advantage of us, making wedding clothes for the Hu people!"

"If the Hu people destroy the Yong Kingdom, haven't we done the Hu people a big favor? Then we will have to fight with the Hu people in bloody battles..."

When she said this, all the kings and princes understood.

Although Yong's army was defeated miserably and their vitality was severely damaged, their strength still existed and should never be underestimated.

To put it bluntly, at this time, the Yong State's national power still far exceeded that of any other country, and its potential for national war was huge.

In addition, it occupies the best geographical advantage in the world, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It will be very difficult to destroy Yong Kingdom.

King Wenxin of Yu first expressed his position: "I...I will listen to the princess. Whatever the princess says, I, the country of Yu, will do it."

He is the king of Yu State who was resurrected by Lu Pianpian, so of course he only listens to Lu Pianpian's words.

Jing Wang Meng Xi thought for a while and said solemnly: "The princess is right. After thinking about it, I can't keep fighting. It's time to stop when we see the situation is good."

"Now that our country, Jing, has recovered the three counties of Hanshui that were ceded to Yong, we can accept the peace negotiation."

"We can't fight anymore." King Yang Guli also smiled bitterly, "It will be an ominous time for us to go on an expedition."

"As long as the Yong Kingdom cannot annex other countries, it will be the best." Prince Cheng of the Liang Kingdom also agreed. "The Yong army has returned to defense, and the three northeastern counties that I lost in Daliang have also been recovered. We can negotiate for peace."

Seeing that no one had any objection to the peace negotiation, Lu Pianpian set the tone and said:

"Since everyone agrees to negotiate peace, then we agree to negotiate peace with Yong State and let them use all their strength to deal with the Hu tribes."

"However, I hope that all countries can change their ways to become stronger and stop bullying Yong Guo..."

Even if Lu Pianpian didn't say anything, the countries would still be under pressure to advance the reform.

If we do not advance, we will retreat, and we will be in danger of destroying our country.

Lu Pianpian suddenly said: "Killing each other among the nine Xia kingdoms is not a long-term solution after all. It would be best to form an alliance and govern the affairs of the nine states on top of the royal courts, and arbitrate disputes among the nations..."

When everyone heard Lu Pianpian's words, they all felt that they were similar to Emperor Yu back then.

Otherwise, restore Emperor Yu?

If the emperor has prestige and can prevent the countries from fighting, that would be a good thing.

When there was Emperor Yu, everyone hated the nominal co-owner above them. But once Emperor Yu was gone, the world became even more chaotic.

There is no year without fighting, and the war becomes bigger and bigger. All countries are in danger of being destroyed.

It seems that for the princes, it is better to have the emperor.

Then, Lu Pianpian summoned the Yong envoys and agreed to start peace negotiations.

Soon, Shao Jiuyin, the envoy of the Yong Kingdom, entered the hall.

"Foreign Minister Shao Jiuyin has met the regent princess of Yan Kingdom and met the kings of other countries!"

Shao Jiuyin saluted with neither humility nor arrogance.

Prince You suddenly said: "I know you, you were once a blind minister of the Yong Kingdom, how did you become an envoy?"

Blind minister? Lu Pianpian's heart moved.

She couldn't help but think of the prophecy that Miaoshu Shangxian said to her:

"When he was three years old, he went to the sun on a stone and recognized the blind minister as an old friend."

Could it be that this blind minister should be Shao Jiuyin?

Is he an old friend?

Lu Pianpian learned for the first time that there was an official position in Yong State called Blind Minister. What is this official position for?

But I heard Shao Jiuyin smile quietly at the prince:
"Your Highness has a good memory. The foreign minister did once serve as a blind minister. But that was seven years ago. Now, the foreign minister holds the position of a guest."

Although a blind person can serve as a blind minister, it does not necessarily have to be a blind person.

In fact, most of the time in the history of the Yong Kingdom, blind ministers were held by normal people who were not blind.

Shao Jiuyin had been a blind minister, but he was not blind.

Lu Pianpian couldn't help but ask: "Who is the blind minister of your country now?"

Shao Jiuyin shook his head and said: "As for the princess, the foreign minister really doesn't know about this. The foreign minister has been stationed in Jie Langzhou for the past three years and has not returned to Chang'an."

"Who is the blind minister today? I can only ask the person who just came from Chang'an."

Lu Pianpian looked thoughtful and even more absent-minded.

After sending Shao Jiuyin away, the first thing Lu Pianpian did was to send someone to the distant Chang'an quickly, pretending to be a businessman, and find out who the current blind minister of the Yong Kingdom was.

……

A month later, Lu Pianpian, who was about to sign a peace treaty with the Yong Kingdom, finally received news.

When Lu Pianpian learned the news, she had been hanging on her heart for more than a year and finally let it go!
It turns out that the current blind minister of Yong Kingdom is actually Luo Ning!
He had gone to Chang'an a long time ago, so he couldn't even find the reward.

What worries Lu Pianpian is that Luo Ning turned out to be blind.

But this blind man could still touch the reading slips, which was like divine help.

What didn't surprise Lu Pianpian was that Luo Ning was appreciated by King Yong Zhao Zheng and has now become a national master.

The prophecy of the Immortal Miaoshuang is correct, isn't it just that "he was born on a stone and ascended to the sun three years ago, and he recognized the blind minister as an old friend?"

The two of them came to another world and transformed into mortals through their cultivation. It was like being reincarnated and reborn once, which is regarded as "three lives in another world."

Luo Ning became a blind minister of the Yong Kingdom, so naturally the blind minister was an old friend!

It's that simple.

Moreover, Lu Pianpian concluded that Luo Ning probably already knew that Princess Wuyang was herself!
But he should be under surveillance by the Black Mansion at this time, and it is temporarily inconvenient to send someone to contact him.

After all, before the peace was reached, the two countries were enemies.

Lu Pianpian felt relieved and couldn't help but feel good.

Hahaha, finally found him!

I am not alone in this world!

As soon as the peace was reached, Lu Pianpian immediately wrote a letter of credence to King Yong, requesting to see Luo Ning, and asking Luo Ning to represent King Yong as an envoy to participate in the Luoyang Alliance to discuss major matters!
Luo Ning is already a minister of the Yong Kingdom. To meet him, the regent princess of the Yan Kingdom, of course he needs the cooperation of King Yong.

……

When King Yong received the certificate of credence from "Princess Wuyang", he couldn't help but feel deeply.

Princess Wuyang is really persistent towards Mr. Luo Ning.

Mr. Luo Ning is both a master of Dayong Kingdom, but once she finds out, she will meet him immediately.

He specified that Luoning should be sent as an envoy on his behalf to participate in the Luoyang Alliance and discuss major matters after the peace negotiation.

Right now, it's really not appropriate to refuse.

King Yong thought over and over again and decided to agree to Princess Wuyang's conditions and let Luoning represent Dayong as an envoy to Luoyang to participate in the Luoyang Alliance.

He is not afraid of Luo Ning defecting to Yan State.

After all, Luo Ning was already a master of the Yong Kingdom and was on a dignified mission. It was impossible for him to destroy his reputation and moral integrity and openly betray the Yong Kingdom and switch to the Yan Kingdom.

This is not the behavior of scholars and gentlemen.

"Come here, ask the Imperial Master to come and see you!"

……

After receiving the news of King Yong's summons, Luo Ning still touched the reading slips in Qingjian Palace.

For more than a month, he touched and read thousands of tablets.

He got a lot of useful information, which made him very excited.

His understanding of the secrets of this world is already very deep.

Unfortunately, much of the information is fragmented and incomplete and cannot be woven into the entire clue map.

Many answers seem to be coming out, but due to incomplete clues, it is difficult to draw clear conclusions.

Not enough letters!

Luo Ning was sure that even if he read all the letters in Qingjian Palace, he would not be able to piece together a complete clue map.

Unless... all the books in the royal palaces are gathered together!

However, that requires the cooperation of all countries.

However, just as I was about to doze off, someone gave me a pillow.

The peace was reached, and Princess Wuyang asked her by name to be sent as an envoy to join the Luoyang Alliance!
Hahaha, that couldn’t be more true.

She must be Lu Pianpian.

How could Luoning refuse? He immediately agreed to go to Luoyang as an envoy!
……

More than half a month later, Luoning, who led the Yongguo envoy to Luoyang, learned that Luoyang City was not far away and couldn't help but feel excited.

It's been almost two years.

He and Lu Pianpian were finally going to meet in this way and in this identity.

The 'Princess Wuyang' standing at the top of the city seemed to be seeing through the autumn water as she looked at the Yong Kingdom envoy getting closer and closer.

The stars and frost are passing by without any news, and the smoke and water are dim and the names are changing.

It is not the moon setting on the roof beams, nor the thoughts of clouds and trees.

Alas, I don’t see Zichong, but I see a cunning boy! (End of chapter)
