Looking at Ziyou with a serious expression, Xiaomeng's face was full of questions.
"Master is in good health and is in retreat. There is no fear for his life." Xiao Meng said coldly.
"Didn't Bei Mingzi tell you what I agreed with them?" Ziyou asked in surprise.
Xiaomeng frowned slightly and said
"No, since you left, Master has gone into seclusion again and has not told us anything."
"Then why did you suddenly propose to compete with me, and why did Master Xiaoyaozi argue with my senior brother Fu Nian?" Ziyou asked with a frown. Suddenly Ziyou felt that something was wrong with Taoism.
Looking at Ziyou's frown and confusion on his face, Xiaomeng also realized that there seemed to be something hidden in today's debate between Confucianism and Taoism over the future governance of Qin.
"The reason why I competed with you is because Senior Brother Chisongzi said that you would be my competitor in the future. I lost to you on Taiyi Mountain before, but now I am out again and want to compete with you again. As for Xiaoyaozi and Fu Nian’s debate is the result of joint deliberations between the Taoist Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect,” Xiaomeng said.
Confucianism entered the Qin State forcefully and occupied the original position of Taoism in the Qin State. This caused a lot of discussion within the Taoist Tianzong and Renzong. As the discussion became louder and louder, the elders of the Tianzong and the Renzong discussed After that, he believed that if Confucianism and Taoism started a war, it would not be conducive to the development of the Qin State, so he chose a top-level battle to determine the outcome, and this is how this battle came about.
"No, I discussed with Master Bei Mingzi that the Confucian and Taoist families should have reached a reconciliation regarding the future of the Bai family in Qin. Even if Bei Mingzi didn't tell you, you should wait for Bei Mingzi. Master Mingzi will come out of seclusion before discussing." Ziyou said in a deep voice.
Although Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi are the heads of the Taoist Tianzong Renzong, Bei Mingzi, who is more senior, is the helmsman of the future direction of the Taoism. Without his consent, it is impossible for Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi to take such rash measures. This method may cause a war between the two sides.
This battle seems to be a way for the top to decide the winner or lose, but it is not a joint discussion between Confucianism and Taoism. It is decided unilaterally by Taoism. No matter who wins in the end, the discord between the two families will continue to expand.
"I don't know about this. Tianzong has always been indifferent to worldly affairs. The earliest dispute about Confucianism and Taoism seems to have come from Renzong, and the final result of the discussion was also proposed by Renzong, and Tianzong agreed if there was no problem. ." Xiaomeng said.
"There is a problem with Xiaoyaozi. To be precise, there is a problem with Renzong!" Ziyou said in a deep voice.
Xiaomeng frowned and looked at Ziyou. Ziyou looked at Xiaomeng and he didn't know how to explain it to Xiaomeng. He couldn't say that he came from the moon in the Qin Dynasty in later generations. Xiaoyaozi led Renzong and Yandan to gather together. Hundreds of families secretly resisted the rule of Qin, right? Before, Ziyou thought that he and Bei Mingzi had negotiated well, and Bei Mingzi would handle Taoist affairs. In addition, Ziyou had already begun to transform the Qin State. After the Qin State unified the world, it would never implement harsh laws and waste money and people, so it was also I didn't care about Renzong, but now it seems that Renzong still has to go the same way as before.
Xiaomeng looked at Ziyou who was meditating, and knew that she and even the Taoists were being used by others, and the person who had a close relationship with the people who followed and exploited the Taoists was the Renzong, and even Xiaoyaozi, the head of the Renzong.
"After Tianzong and Renzong separated, the two families didn't bother each other and even had conflicts. I don't know anything about Renzong." Xiaomeng shook his head and said.
"Do you know the secret treasure of Renzong?"
Ziyou thought of a key thing, the secret treasure of the Renzong. During the bright moon of the Qin Dynasty, Mu Xuzi, the elder of the Renzong, opposed Xiaoyaozi's alliance with the Mohist family to resist the Qin State, so he stole the secret treasure from Xiaoyaozi's residence and prepared to defect to the Qin State. This secret treasure was A very crucial thing that Xiaoyaozi can carry with him, and what Qin needs is probably only a Canglong Qisu box.
Why a leader of the Human Sect would have a copper box containing the secrets of Canglong Qisu is worth pondering.
Xiaomeng shook his head. Taoism has been divided into Tianzong and Renzong for many years. The two families have always ignored what the other does. Xiaomeng himself is either practicing with Bei Mingzi or in retreat. He may not know anything about Tianzong. Not to mention the affairs of Renzong.
"If my guess is correct, Renzong has been infiltrated by some people now. As for Xiaoyaozi, I hope you will go and give a message to Master Beimingzi for me." Ziyou said.
"What words?"
"Let Master Beimingzi pay attention to the movements of Renzong and Xiaoyaozi."
"I understand, but what about our competition?" Xiaomeng asked.
"That's easy to say." The corners of Ziyou's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes were full of cunning.
Seeing Ziyou's appearance, Xiao Meng felt an emotion in her heart that she hadn't felt for a long time, called sympathy. Supreme forgetfulness, this is also the realm that Xiaomeng pursues. Before, Xiaomeng felt that she was not far from this realm, but now she found that she was very far away from it.
"What are you going to do?" Xiaomeng asked.
Ziyou came to Xiaomeng's side and whispered a few words in Xiaomeng's ear. Listening to Ziyou's words, Xiaomeng's eyes flashed with surprise. Looking at Ziyou's face with a bad smile, he felt that this person It's really shameless. How did Confucianism cultivate such a person? I feel more and more that what Taoism says is right. The Confucian etiquette and other things are completely useless, otherwise they would not have cultivated children who run counter to their ideas. tour.
If Ziyou knew Xiaomeng's thoughts, Ziyou would definitely say, I learned from Xunzi. Generally speaking within Confucianism, if you say "I learned from Xunzi", even if what you do is too unimaginable, people within Confucianism will feel that it is something they can do.
"Then you first untie Tiancheng's etiquette on me, and use other methods to prevent you from touching me again." Xiaomeng said coldly.
"Isn't that what you are pursuing? If I remember correctly, don't you think that the difference between men and women is nothing more than ignorant and vulgar constraints?" Ziyou said with a smile.
Upon hearing Ziyou teasing herself, Xiaomeng immediately pulled out the Qiuli Sword again and pointed it directly at Ziyou's neck. Xiaomeng looked at Ziyou with an unkind look, and Ziyou could only smile awkwardly.
"I understand, I will untie the rules of Tiancheng for you right now." Ziyou said helplessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ziyou's body was surrounded by internal energy. Pale white internal energy surrounded Ziyou and Xiaomeng. Lines of pale white internal energy poured into Xiaomeng's acupuncture points, breaking the natural seal of etiquette. With the seal broken, Xiao Meng once again felt the internal power in her body.
Ziyou put away his inner strength and let out a breath. There was a burst of noise from all around. Ziyou didn't need to think about it and knew that it was the melon-eating crowd. Ziyou and Xiaomeng looked at each other, and the two sides fought together again. After hearing the sound of fighting, people from hundreds of families rushed towards the two of them.
After seeing that the people around him had almost arrived, Ziyou looked at Xiaomeng. The two of them once again displayed the eclipse of heaven and earth and the myriad phenomena. Looking at the two realms colliding with each other, everyone around them also watched nervously. , all cheering for Ziyou or Xiaomeng in their hearts.
As the two realms collided and suddenly exploded, a powerful aftermath swept around, the dust on the ground was blown up, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground under their feet.
"No, stay away!"
The pupils of those who ate the melon constricted, and they mobilized their internal strength to resist the aftermath of the sky and earth turning pale and exploding. Some of the weak ones spat out a mouthful of blood. After the aftermath dissipated, everyone reacted and looked at Xiaomeng and Ziyou among the dust and smoke.
At this time, Xiaomeng and Ziyou had a trace of blood hanging from the corners of their mouths. Qiuli and Zhanlu were on the ground, both sitting cross-legged and adjusting their breathing.
People who eat melons, you look at me, I look at you.
"Who wins!?" One person shouted the question everyone wanted to ask.
Looking at the two people in the field, no one dares to say who has won. One is the future head of the Taoist Tianzong, and the other is one of the three giants of Confucianism. No matter who they publicly support, they will offend the other person. Everyone looked at the six-fingered black man sitting in the bank.
Six-fingered Black Man also had a headache at the moment, but he was the banker and had to decide the winner. Looking at the two people who were recovering from their injuries, Six-Fingered Black Man gritted his teeth and said
"It seems that Master Xiaomeng and Mr. Ziyou have a draw, so this sentence will be treated as a draw."
Everyone looked at the Six-Fingered Black Man, and the Six-Fingered Black Man looked at everyone without feeling guilty. Although everyone in the Baijia family found this outcome unacceptable, they did not dare to say anything more. They could only accept their defeat and secretly regretted that they would never be a gambler again.
The draw was supposed to be for the banker, but the Six-Fingered Black Man was not in a good mood at the moment, because there were actually a few people from the military who suppressed the draw and took away two-thirds of the money. If it weren't for knowing that these people and The two Confucian families have nothing to do with each other, and since neither Ziyou nor Xiaomeng participated in the bet, the Six-Fingered Black Man would think that Ziyou and Xiaomeng deliberately faked the match.
Seeing that the melons had been eaten and everyone returned to the camp, Xiaomeng nodded to Ziyou. After Ziyou responded, the two used Qinggong and returned to the camp.
After returning to the camp, Ziyou did not rush to find Fu Nian and the others. Instead, he waited in his tent. Soon two Qin army generals sneaked outside Ziyou's tent and saw that there was no one around. , the two of them entered.
"How is it?" Ziyou asked.
The two of them untied the package behind them, revealing Jin Bin with the imperial city inside.
"Sir, this is your share."
Ziyou took the package. These two soldiers seemed to have nothing to do with them, but in fact they were among his guards when he went to Shu County. After returning to Xianyang, some people were unwilling to leave the military camp, so Ziyou They returned to the military camp. By continuously accumulating military merit, they both reached the rank of captain. After the Six-fingered Black Man opened the gambling game, Ziyou signaled them to participate and made a draw.
So the two of them teamed up with several people with good connections to bet on a draw.
"This matter must be kept secret." Ziyou reminded, if people knew that he was cheating on matches, he would not be able to see people with his face in the future.
"promise!"
As time came to the next day, the army officially broke camp and returned to the court, and people from hundreds of families followed the army and left one after another, leaving again halfway and returned to their own sects.
As the main army returned to the court, Xianyang finally waited for the military report of the war. After Ying Zheng got the military report, he smiled very happily.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty, with my Qin army, the world will be stable, and our Qin country will no longer be afraid of foreign enemies!" Lu Buwei stood up and praised Ying Zheng in the line of courtiers.
The surrounding ministers looked at Lu Buwei and began to praise the Qin army. Zhang Cang looked at Lu Buwei and the surrounding ministers and thought, no wonder he can become a powerful minister of the Qin State, cover the sky with one hand for decades, and still succeed in the end. Retreating, this kind of vision is not something ordinary people can have.
"Hahahaha, our officers and soldiers of Great Qin have worked hard. The Prime Minister's Mansion, Taiwei Mansion and Zhisu Neishi have come up with corresponding rewards and punishments based on the military reports. This time I will reward the officers and men of the three armies well!" Ying Zheng said happily.
"promise!"
Lu Buwei, Zhang Cang and the officials of the Taiwei Mansion stood up and said.
"Post the general newspaper, I want the whole world to see the great achievements of our officers and men of Great Qin!" Ying Zheng said with a wave of his sleeves.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Ying Zheng looked at the courtiers below and was in a very good mood. He destroyed the Xiongnu's effective forces, killed Touman, and eliminated the threat of the Xiongnu to the Central Plains. Such a great achievement, how could Ying Zheng not be happy?
Then the whole world spread that Qin State attacked the Huns from the north and beheaded Touman. People all over the world praised the Qin army and Qin State. Even the people of Zhao State who had a deep hatred against Qin State put down their hatred at this moment and sincerely He praised Qin Jun. Facing foreigners, we are no longer citizens of various countries, but descendants of Yan and Huang.
After the news of the Qin army's victory came, King Yan of Zhao was not to be outdone. He immediately sent Li Mu to attack the grassland and fight thousands of miles, beheading tens of thousands. The news that Qin and Zhao suddenly overtook all other countries. , attracted scholars from the six countries and disciples from hundreds of schools to go to the two countries to become officials.
The Qin State has become accustomed to this kind of scene where scholars from all over the world become officials. After being screened according to the rules, they all entered the recruiting hall. When the State of Zhao faced this kind of scene where scholars from all over the world flocked in, which had not happened for many years, Zhao Wangyan was even more excited to receive these scholars in person, and even ignored the prostitutes in the harem.
Zhao Wangyan looked at the bustling HD City with a pale face, his eyes full of relief. The servant on the side looked at Zhao Wangyan with such a worried expression and said
"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, let's go back to the palace!"
"Let me take another look. HD City has not attracted scholars from all over the world to flock to HD City for many years. All this is because of Li Mu. Tomorrow I will decide to reward Li Mu well." Zhao Wangyan said.
"General Li guarded Yanmen Pass so that the Huns and barbarians did not dare to look south. This is all because of the king's trust in General Li, which allowed General Li to give full play to his talents. It is a great blessing for the people of Zhao to have a king. ." The chamberlain slapped him in the face.
"Hahahaha." Zhao Wangyan laughed while looking at the bustling HD City, his eyes full of reluctance and nostalgia.
The next day, Li Mu's reward shocked the entire Zhao State. King Zhao Yan named Li Mu the Lord of Wu'an and commanded the Zhao State's troops. It was not only the State of Zhao that was shocked, but also the whole world was shocked after Li Mu was named Lord Wu'an. Before Li Mu, only Su Qin and Bai Qi were named Lord Wu'an. Those who are martial and peaceful are famous for their martial arts to rule the world, prestige and stability.
