"Congratulations to Mr. Bing!"

After the ceremony, it is not the end of the ceremony. As a merging of the country and the king, after the ceremony, you have to accept the congratulations from all the princes and hundreds of families, as well as the worship from all the tribes on the grassland.

But this is still not the end, but the beginning. Envoys and scholars from various countries are standing quietly, waiting for Yan Yan.

Yan Yan also knew very well that with his and Bingzhou's strength, it was not enough for all countries and families to send their ministers and giants to come.

They came to ask for a promise, a promise that Bingzhou would not participate in the dispute between China and Central Plains.

This is the real purpose of the princes and hundreds of families coming here.

"Will Bingjun really swear by Bingzhou Ding and the Yellow River?" Zhang Liang, as Han Fei's little fanboy, looked at Han Fei and asked.

"Who knows?" Han Fei shook his head. The desire for power is too great. If you don't have the strength to fight for it, you will give up. But what Bingzhou has shown now has told the princes what Bingzhou and Bingguo are. Have the qualifications and strength to participate in the competition for Chinese power.

"If Bingjun really swears by Bingzhou Ding and the Yellow River, no matter which country completes the annexation and unification in the future, Bingjun will be ranked in the Temple of Martial Arts and Confucianism, and become the same existence as Jiang Shang and Guan Zhong!"

Zhang Liang turned to look at Yan Yan in front of the Bingzhou Cauldron, wondering what Yan Yan would choose.

The Zhou Dynasty has lost its heirs, the seven kingdoms are vying for supremacy, and the world has entered an era of annexation. Will the emergence of Bingzhou break this situation, or add more unknown factors to this situation.

Zhang Liang was thinking, if he were in this position, would he be able to resist this temptation?

"Urgent report from Chu Guoyan's family!" Suddenly, a soldier broke into the ceremony and handed a secret report to Yu Qing, who was in charge of Bingzhou intelligence.

Yu Qing was very aware of Yan Yan's feelings for the Yan family. Yan Yan once asked them to pass on information about the Yan family to him as soon as possible, no matter when and where.

Therefore, Yu Qing immediately opened the secret report and read it carefully. His expression suddenly changed and he looked at Yan Yan in front of the Bingzhou Cauldron.

These old people are actually very conflicted. Bingzhou has enough strength to participate in the battle for the Central Plains, so they also want to know what Yan Yan will choose.

Because of this, Yu Qing struggled with whether to hand over the Yan family's secret report to Yan Yan at this time.

In the end, Yu Qing walked quickly to Yan Yan, handed the Yan family secret report to Yan Yan, and whispered, "Yan family secret report, the great scholar Yan Ao has passed away!"

"What!" Yan Yan's expression changed instantly.

Yan Ao can be said to be his only relative in this world. He is also his guide on the path of spiritual practice, his teacher, and his father.

It's just that Yan Ao's cultivation is astonishing, and Yan Yan never thought that Yan Ao would die of illness.

He hurriedly opened the last letter Yan Ao left for him before he passed away.

It turns out that Yan Ao had a lot of hidden problems when he was young and traveled around the world, so he stayed at Yushan Academy to recuperate and stopped taking action for decades.

It was not until Yan Yan got into trouble in the Chu Kingdom that Yan Ao had to stand up and use his absolute cultivation to intimidate the powerful people in the Chu Kingdom so that they would not dare to embarrass Yan Yan again.

But after that, Yan Ao also developed an old illness. Soon after returning to Yushan Academy, he became bedridden, but no one told Yan Yan.

Because Yan Ao knew very well that based on the filial piety taught by Confucianism, if Yan Yan knew that he was sick and in bed, he would definitely give up everything and return to Yushan Academy to serve him.

Yan Ao treats Yan Ao as his father, and Yan Ao treats Yan Yan as his son. Naturally, he does not want to affect Yan Yan's future because of himself. Therefore, Yan Ao forbids anyone from revealing his illness to Yan Yan. "Yan's surname, uncle's name, Yan, and the word Dong. Dong means the rising sun and hope!" Yan Yan recalled the name given to him by Yan Ao before he left Yushan.

But now, Yan Ao regretted it and wanted to change his name!

"Zi, Wenzheng!"

Yan Ao's suicide note was very short, only three words. He knew that with Yan Yan's intelligence, he would definitely know the meaning of this word.

Yu Qing knew the meaning of this word, so he hesitated whether to tell Yan Yan at this time. He knew very well that Yan Ao's words could definitely affect Yan Yan's decision.

However, he still handed over Yan Ao's suicide note to Yan Yan. He also believed that Yan Yan was not a person easily influenced by others.

Yan Yan held the secret letter in his hand tightly and knocked heavily to the south.

"What... happened?" The guests present were all confused by Yan Yan's behavior, and then they saw Yan Yan cut off a long black cloth and put it on his left shoulder.

"The black belt on the left arm means hidden filial piety!" Dr. Jimo recognized Yan Yan's behavior. After thinking for a moment, he realized that it was probably a relative of Yan Yan who had passed away. The most likely one was Yan Yan's teacher and father in the south. The Sword Master is proud.

"Yan Ao, the great scholar, has passed away!" Han Fei whispered.

Zhang Liang and others were also shocked. They knew about the relationship between Yan Ao and Yan Yan, but they did not expect that Yan Ao would pass away at this time.

If there is any bond with Yan Yan in this world, it is probably Yan Ao, the great scholar at Yushan Academy.

Now that the only thread that binds and pulls Yan Yan is broken, no one knows what choice Yan Yan will make.

After wrapping the black cloth around his left arm, Yan Yan also stood up and walked to the Bingzhou Cauldron. Everyone's eyes followed his movements.

No one said anything, and no one dared to disturb him. They waited quietly for Yan Yan's decision.

"Gu, here I swear by the Bingzhou Cauldron and the Yellow River!" Yan Yan took a deep breath, slowly raised his right hand, clasped the thumb and little finger of his palm, formed a sword and pointed to the sky, and swore to the Bingzhou Cauldron and the Yellow River.

Everyone watched quietly and listened carefully, not daring to miss a word.

"All my people in Bingzhou will never cross the Great Wall, or go south with swords, forever and ever!"

"If you violate this oath, the Bingzhou tripod will be shattered, the Yellow River will overflow, and your descendants will die!"

Yan Yan's voice spread throughout Third Prince City and reached everyone's ears.

Envoys from various countries and giants from hundreds of families all breathed a sigh of relief. This was the purpose of their visit this time, and they finally got the answer they wanted.

Yu Qing, An Qisheng and other courtiers in Bingzhou were also a little disappointed, but they all breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.

They have never thought about moving their weapons southward and participating in the competition among the heroes of China, but their ideals are not willing to drag Bingzhou into this quagmire.

Now Yan Yan has sworn the Bingzhou Ding, the Yellow River, and the Great Wall, cutting off the entire Bingzhou and Bingguo's hopes of going south to participate in the competition among the heroes, and also cutting off their last thoughts.

For these people, instead of waiting for Yan Yan to swear an oath, they are asking themselves questions!
Yan Yan's decision also allowed them to stop thinking about things they shouldn't have and helped them make a choice!
