Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 154 King Yan is happy to die
Now that Xu Wang had fulfilled his father's last wish and had concerns again, he became an official in Wen City and lived his life with peace of mind.

However, the good-knot ranger's temperament has not changed, and because he has to stick to one city, Xu Wang can be more considerate of the capable people and lofty ideals from other places who pass by.

Lu Wei's identity as a farmer is a huge force in the world. Although he has little influence on Wen City now, it is always a good thing to make friends.

For Lu Wei, Xu Wang's identity was a bit unsatisfactory.Even if his wife is the sister of Lord Wei Ningling, the value of the couple is not high.

Considering that Xu Wang is a disciple of the Yin Yang family, with the Yin Yang family's subsequent power in the Qin State, and with this status as a boost, there will be no obstacles to his promotion as an official in the local area, and he will most likely be promoted to Wencheng County Magistrate in the future.

But that's just it. A future magistrate of the Qin State can be a casual move, and with the friendship from the past, it's worth spending half a day talking about it.

"The Yin Yang Family's Jin Department has lost a disciple, aren't you going to take it back?"

Returning to the inn in the afternoon, Lu Wei looked at the Moon God with blue flames on his hands and asked quietly.

When he was in Daliang, he knew that Xu Wang had applied to go home temporarily from the Ministry of Finance due to his father's illness, but no one had called him back after many years.

Coincidentally meeting for the second time, Lu Wei simply asked him. This was also an opportunity to help him learn more about the structure of the Yin and Yang family.

Recently, the hall master defeated two elder swordsmen in Wen City with swordsmanship. During the battle, Yueshen did not leave.Both of them have their own ambitions, and there is no conflict. They can cooperate with each other.

"No outstanding disciple of the Yin Yang family will be lost."

The Moon God closed her eyes and formed seals without stopping. She roughly understood what Lu Wei had encountered. She didn’t need to ask in detail and just said distractedly: "If an ordinary Yin Yang family disciple wants to leave his home for various reasons before completing the Yin Yang Technique, Branch, this shows that he is not close to Onmyoji."

"Once you leave, you will never leave."

"These departing disciples are not without value. There are too few people in the world who have the talent to learn Yin Yang. They go out to spread the branches, which is also the spread of the Yin Yang theory."

When she finished speaking, Luna's training was almost completed. She withdrew the strange fire beside her, and the temperature of the room slowly rose.

The pupils slowly opened under the sky blue gauze:

"Is it time to leave for the trip south to Chu?"

After learning from the Moon God that Xu Wang was actually a disciple who was abandoned by the Yin Yang family, Lu Wei stopped delving further into this topic:

"You have got what you deserve in Wen City, so naturally you have to leave."

As he spoke, the master of the hall stood up and came to the Yin Yang family protector who was kneeling on the edge of the bed. He lowered his eyes and looked at each other with purple pupils:

"Since your goal is the supreme position of the Yin Yang family, you are not staying in Xianyang but going to Jicheng. Are you still worried about Dongjun?"

Moon God's eyes deepened. He had indeed told the person in front of him that the Yin Yang family had a friend in Jicheng, but he had never said that this friend was Dong Jun.

And judging from the tone of his voice, Mr. Lu’s understanding of Dongjun is not limited to just one title:
"You know more secrets than I gave you credit for."

"But the remaining flame of revenge is not qualified to be my opponent."

"However, His Excellency Donghuang hopes that you can always be rivals~"

Lu Wei raised his hand to answer the last step for Moon Goddess, then gently grabbed the ice blue water drop bead decoration attached to her forehead, took it off and held it in the palm of his hand:
"there's one more thing."

"After Chu Di, I will go to Shu Mountain. Lend me this."

Faced with such a disrespectful move, the Right Protector of the Yin Yang Family only reacted to the word "Shu Mountain": "If you are going for the Fuso Sacred Tree, then I suggest you change the location to Songhai City."

"Mr. Jin, Elder Yunzhongjun, will be there."

The leader of the Gonggong Hall of the farm family quietly made some kind of covenant with the right protector of the Yin and Yang family, and then left the small place Wencheng one after another.

Next, one of them went north and the other went south.

In Jicheng, immediately after the news came that His Highness the Prince sent an envoy to assassinate Bao Qin, the rangers in the city were excited and took the initiative to sing about Jing Ke's deeds.

The people of Yan State are also proud of this, and they have no idea how dangerous the upcoming crisis will be.
The morale of the Yan army was high. Although the plan to assassinate Qin failed in the end, such behavior was completely in line with the generous and tragic spirit of Yan and Zhao, and it was exciting!
Only the King of Yan and most of the dignitaries of the Yan Kingdom were confused, and endless fear overflowed from their hearts.

How dare the prince conceal the fact that the person in power has done such a desperate thing on his own!

King Yan angrily called Yan Dan into the palace, but Yan Dan was confident this time:
Now he is not only a Mohist giant with the power of the world, but also gained control of part of the army through marriage and infiltration. After assassinating Qin, the situation of Yan and Qin's deadly feud has become a reality.

In any case, even under coercion, this country must continue on the path of resistance!

Faced with Yan Dan repeatedly talking about the correctness and justice of his anti-Qin actions, why didn't King Yan understand those simple truths?But what he understood more clearly was that the Yan State was now in a state of decline that was irreversible, and it was absolutely impossible for the Yan State to defeat the Qin State.

After King Xi of Yan succeeded to the throne and struggled for more than ten years, his territory became smaller and smaller. His purpose of lying down was just to prevent Yan from dying in his own hands.

Therefore, in recent years, after Qin State showed more and more aggressiveness, he was forced to retreat again and again.

But suddenly, his prince gave him a big job and caught him off guard.
"Forget it." King Yan sat on the throne and waved his hands feebly: "Since you have confidence, then go ahead and do it."

Raising his head and leaning back, he glanced at Yan Dan who solemnly accepted the order and then left. Yan Wangxi's eyes showed a strong hint of murderous intent, and in the blink of an eye, the murderous intent turned into murderous intent.

If nothing can be done, if you give up this prince, you can still be the King of Yan for a few more years!

After being king for 25 years, it is not surprising that Yan Xi would come up with this idea, but unfortunately, he has no chance to implement it.
After the Yan State assassinated Qin, everything was moving in an orderly manner according to Yan Dan's plan, which wiped away the haze when the news of the failed assassination of Qin first came.

For the first time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has complete control over this country. This is the power that belongs to the king.
Although the actions of the palace and the dignitaries to quietly transfer wealth to Liaodong is a bit annoying, you can turn a blind eye to it. It is fundamental that good news from the front line can be transmitted!

Yan Dan did not relax, and there was no time left for him to relax. He was more focused on national affairs.

Since the prince himself could not lead the army on the expedition, the position of general was firmly occupied by Yan Yi, who should have been the commander-in-chief of the army.

However, this dignified and supreme military general of a country was mysteriously abducted and disappeared a few months ago, and all the masters waiting beside him were killed.
Although this at its core strengthened the control of the military power of the Prince's Palace, which they were married to, the death of the guards of the General's Palace also shocked Yan Dan, who went to investigate the case in person:
The murderer used Yin Yang magic!
'It was Fei Yan who took Yan Yi'

The master of the Yin Yang family has always been a sharp knife hanging above Yan Dan's head. The fact that the knife has not been chopped off for a long time does not mean that the knife no longer exists.

Now, the knife has finally moved, but the direct target is not him.
Under the pressure, Yan Dan felt intensely uneasy, so he re-selected a highly respected veteran general from the Yan family to succeed him as general to appease people's hearts.

As for the Mohist disciples, as people in the world, they were more trusted by Yan Dan.He formed them separately and equipped them with strong soldiers, led only by Mohist leaders, and classified them as elites.

Everything is going smooth.

However, only two months after taking control of the power, the news that the Yan army's vanguard team was wiped out came back, and the calm on the surface of Jicheng immediately turned into a violent storm.
Just when Yan Dan was still thinking about how to deal with the accountability of his father, the king, and the powerful officials at the court meeting the next morning, an even more terrible news came, which made him even more shocked and embarrassed than when he learned that the assassination of Qin had failed:
His father, King Yan, died of joy.

He was stabbed to death by himself with a knife after a quarrel broke out when he entered the palace late at night to report urgent news!
'So this is your revenge. Fei Yan! '

After being extremely shocked and then extremely calm, Yan Dan immediately guessed the truth, but the question is, will the people of Yan State be willing to believe his explanation?

The outer wall of the Prince's Mansion has been lit up by thousands of torches.
------

The Chu State Rangers and the Yanzhao Rangers have completely different experiences in dealing with them.

Most of the well-informed local rangers of the Chu State were influenced by many cultural factors such as Bashu in the west, Baiyue in the south, Wuyue in the east, etc., and their swordsmanship was mixed.

The combination of the ancient martial arts of many different ethnic groups and the martial arts of the Central Plains has brought about a colorful scene where a hundred flowers bloom.

The rumor that "Young Hero Lu Wei is challenging everyone to win the Hundred Swords in the current arena" has become a hot topic. As Hall Master Lu's winning streak is getting closer and closer to hundreds, the rangers are interested in him. After that, the opponent's attention may become more and more intense.

Lu Wei, except for the first few times, every subsequent sword fight must be held in public.

When he arrived outside Shouchun City, the winning streak rumored in the world had grown to 75.

The further back you get, the fewer swordsmen are willing to fight him.

In the first twenty games, Lu Wei will take the initiative to ask for advice.

During the forty games, there was an endless stream of people who specifically challenged him.

After sixty wins, it becomes difficult to meet an opponent again.

The master of the hall is not anxious about this at all, he just wants to make a name for himself. The Yum Plan has indeed not been achieved, but the goal of making a name for himself has been achieved.

Lu Wei has a non-committal attitude towards whether anyone will challenge him next.After he entered Shouchun City, he was not in a hurry to look for Xiang Bo among the Xiang clan, but instead came to Yunmeng Market first.

The Gonggongtang branch that originally existed in Shouchun City ceased to exist with the shrinkage of Luqiu Pavilion in Yan State. Hall Master Lu has no idea what changes are happening in Chu State now.

If he wanted to get the information, he had to either investigate it himself or ask for help from the Shennongtang branch in the city.

In view of Changpingjun's relationship, it would be better for Shennongtang in Shouchun to have less contact.
