open!

In the quiet courtyard, the rain of blood stopped.

When Ji Qiu heard the extremely serious words of the young man in black clothes, he turned his head and no longer looked in the direction where Zhao Wumu left:

"You want to be king?"

"Be the leader of the Zhao Kingdom after King Yong of Zhao Wu?"

His words were filled with surprise.

To say this to any fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy would be tantamount to whimsical.

but.

It just happened to be Qin Zheng.

The gift left by King Yong of Zhao Wu just ignited the young man's inner fire that had been suppressed for more than ten years.

Therefore, Ji Qiu was somewhat silent.

"Looking at the nine states, the Zhao family split the land and sealed the territory, dividing it into one area. It is one of the seven oldest kingdoms."

"Even if you inherit the blood of King Yong of Zhao Wu and inherit his orthodoxy, you still want to become the new king."

"Do you think it's something you can do just by asking?"

Ji Qiu did not answer Qin Zheng directly. He just looked straight ahead and asked him in a calm tone whether he had a plan in mind.

Nothing can be accomplished on a whim or in a single thought.

Without the determination and planning to put in a thousand times of effort, it would be absolutely impossible.

Even if you know something about Qin Zheng's destiny, this is not a careless thing. If you can become a king just by opening your mouth, then the princes and nobles in the world will probably laugh at you.

As a medium, even if you get the orthodox 'cauldron', the road ahead will be filled with difficulties.

Want to be king.

It just depends on whether you can bear it.

"If you don't have the equipment, you can borrow it."

"If you're not good at it, you can practice it."

"The law is not strong, it can be learned."

"If the Tao is not clear, it can be enlightened!"

"But sir, time is not waiting for me. Destiny is determined by heaven, and destiny is determined by oneself. Now Wujun Mu covets the inheritance of the ancestors of the Zhao family, which is incompatible with me."

"I, the Qin government, am no more than a mediator, and the Western Qin does not tolerate it, and is reprimanded by Zhao. Even though my mother was once a direct descendant of the king, she is now burdened by me and can only live in this shabby room and suffer this humiliation."

"I have been practicing cultivation with my husband for more than a year. What Zheng Zheng wants most is to grasp the power that can change everything and reverse the current situation!"

"Now that the time has come, I have the symbol of authority of King Yong of Zhao Wu, and the royal blood mark between my eyebrows that represents orthodoxy. Even if Zhao Wumu is his legitimate son, with his authority, he may not be able to subdue the great Zhao Kingdom."

"Senior General Zhao Wuling and Grand Sima Yuxiang are both able to compete with them. What's more, the many ministers and dignitaries in the army are all people who can take advantage of their 'power'."

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

Qin Zheng closed his sleeves and spoke solemnly:

"He wanted to kill me today, and it was for Mr. Ji's sake that he refrained from taking action."

"But if I don't take action today, he will take my life tomorrow."

"So, how can I sit back and wait for death?"

"Sir, I am extremely grateful for protecting my life. I dare not covet more."

"Be bowed to by my disciples!"

Looking at the young man in Xuanyi who was looking at him with a clear air of despondency and determination to forge ahead, he really agreed with those words.

The plum blossoms are not lowered even though the snow is heavy in the cold weather. I lie down on the firewood and taste the courage to wait for the good times.

"One day the same wind will blow up and it will soar ninety thousand miles away!"

After hearing these words, Ji Qiu felt a little touched in his heart.

He is as patient as an ant and soaring as a real dragon, nothing more than that.

Moreover, the original power of Zhao Wu and Wang Yong paved the way for Qin Zheng.

In a short period of time, he could reach a state that he had never thought of before and could not achieve in a short period of time.

Zhao Wumu did not kill him today.

Whether it can still be suppressed when it comes, I'm afraid it's still open to question.

While I was thinking about it, someone came to the door from outside the threshold.

Smell the movement and look back.

When I saw the great Sima of the Zhao family, he was covered in dust and dust, but he rarely climbed up the wooden door of this quiet courtyard.

Ji Qiu felt something in his heart and looked into his eyes.

When he saw the planning in his eyes and the thoughtful expression when he looked at Qin Zheng, Ji Qiu couldn't help but smile and said casually:

"Boy, it's just like you said."

"If you don't have the equipment, you can borrow it."

"Now, the person you can borrow has arrived."

"As for how much you can borrow and how you borrow it, it's up to you."

"Just like what you said, sir, it's impossible for you to protect you for the rest of your life, but you can say something like this in just a year and a half. At this age, you are proud enough."

"Let me see later and see how you want to go."

Say it.

He then rubbed shoulders with Da Sima Yu Xiang who came through the door.

This moment.

Yu Xiang, who was in charge of the government of the royal city and was not very familiar with Ji Qiu, paused for a moment:

"Mr. Ji, are you so confident that I can contact you as a disciple?"

The Chief Sima of the Zhao family frowned with hesitation in his eyes.

"Enough has happened today."

"The Zhao family is not a country of one person, but the king is the chief minister and is in charge of the state affairs of the Zhao country. After so many years, he can be regarded as conscientious."

"I have always heard that in the past ten years, because King Wu of Zhao Yongyuan left the northern desert, Lord Wu Mu often interfered in military affairs and state affairs, decentralizing power with you."

"So I think that if he ascends the throne, it may not be a good thing for you."

"Furthermore, the Hao capital of Zhou Dynasty was not far from the Zhao family that day. If Zhao Wumu succeeds to the throne, if he can make up his mind to pay homage and submit to the lineage of the Emperor of Zhou, his position will be more stable."

"If you want to come to Great Sima, you don't want to see your authority being divided too much, right?"

Faced with the question, Ji Qiu responded calmly, then stepped out of the threshold and walked out.

Only the chief minister of the Zhao family was left, and he came to Qin Zheng alone.

Sometimes, even if you don't say it, your attitude has already decided everything.

Zhao Wumu left. As a prince, the Grand Sima did not choose to leave after witnessing everything.

Then the answer he chose is naturally self-evident.

After walking out of the door, facing the cool wind, Ji Qiu let out a breath and raised his eyes to see three figures, who were the three saints from hundreds of schools before.

Ji Qiu knew beforehand that Guiguzi and Dongjun went to Zhao together in order to preach to Zhao Tu and promote the theory of humanism. Zhuang Zhou used the method of "Dream Butterfly" to transform thousands of elephants into Taoism, and incarnated in the well of the royal city to meet these two people.

This was my short stay.

But after the war ceremony, no one expected that the successor chosen by King Yong of Zhao Wu was not Zhao Wumu, but this foreign hostage whom he had never met before and who was inconspicuous in the past.

Regarding this point, it can really be regarded as disrupting their plans.

But when Zhao Wumu came to visit, these two positions turned a deaf ear and treated it as if it hadn't happened, which clearly represented their attitude.

Therefore, Ji Qiu stepped forward and apologized to Guiguzi and Dongjun, who looked like they were smiling but not smiling, and who looked pale:

"Two gentlemen, it seems that your plan is going to go wrong."

"Zhao Wumu came to the door with threats. I have taught that child for more than a year, and I really can't stand by and watch him fail like this."

"So, we can only choose to take action."

"If it disrupts the plans of the two gentlemen, Ji Qiu can try his best to make up for it. I would like to ask you two not to get involved in the game."

As soon as these words came out, Guiguzi and Dongjun looked at each other.

Immediately afterwards, both of them had inexplicable smiles in their eyes:

"What are you talking about, Mr. Ji?"

"That child has had his fortune told by Dong Jun, far beyond what Zhao Wumu can compare to. Even though something big seems to have happened now, with your Excellency in charge, the problem is not that big after all."

"To put it bluntly, compared to Zhao Wumu, he obviously has greater potential, and is far from being able to resonate with the descendants of divine blood. If he becomes a king, he will be an existence that is completely different from the kings of the world."

Guiguzi took a step forward.

This kind-looking old man stripped everything to pieces, put it all out in the open, and came to a conclusion:

"Even if he does not become the lord of Western Qin first, if he can ascend the throne in the Zhao family, he will then enter Hanguguan and conquer the land of Zhao and Qin, and then dominate the three Jin Dynasties."

"It's consistent with his destiny."

"As his teacher, you taught him the philosophy of the Hundred Schools and became an indispensable part of his growth."

"If he takes the throne, our plans will be smoother. How can we apologize?"

"So what we have to wait for now is just to make the wind blow stronger."

"As for Zhao Wumu"

Calculation flashed in the old man's eyes:

"If necessary, he can be an abandoned son, and that's okay."

The bright morning sun shines down.

After another period of time, the Zhao family's royal city became turbulent.

The death of King Wu Yong once again caused great turmoil in this country that had been peaceful for less than two years.

When the three ruling giants, General Zhao Wuling, Grand Sima Yuxiang, and the king's blood descendant Wu Mujun, joined the whole country in mourning, it immediately caused an uproar.

The death of the King of Divine Blood!

Not only for Zhao, but also for Jiuzhou today, this is a shocking event!

Thousands of years ago, the Zhou Dynasty established the Mandate of Heaven to enfeoff various kingdoms.

In the end, the King of Divine Blood put on the royal crown and emerged from the slaughter and blood, except for the extremely tyrannical Lord of Jin who wanted to attack the natural chasm.

Without exception, they all lived for thousands of years.

but,

Today, there is one person who passed away first.

This also shows that even if they inherit the 'sacred' blood, they may not have a divine and eternal lifespan.

In addition to this news that may attract the attention of other kings and even the Emperor of Zhou.

He is King Zhao's successor.

I thought everything would be calm, and Wu Mujun, the blood descendant of King Wu Zhao Yong, would take the throne, but an unexpected surprise happened that no one expected.

Inside Taiping Academy.

In the bedroom, Ji Qiu opened his eyes from his cultivation state.

In front of the seat where he sat cross-legged, there were two huge ancient tripods more than one foot long, with 'Yu' and 'Yong' inscribed on them respectively.

These are the two Jiudings that Ji Qiu is in charge of now.

Among them, Yuzhou Ding has been dormant for many years with the decline of Xuan Shang. After the Ji Qiu Festival, although it has the effect of bringing luck to the body, it cannot get much improvement in spiritual practice.

However, the Yongwang Ding, which was controlled by the fallen King Zhao, was more than just that.

After this period of practice.

Ji Qiu used the Heaven-Building Dao Body and the sacrifice of King Xuan Shang's blood to feed back the Qi of the Yongzhou Cauldron to himself, successfully solidifying the slightly illusory Dharma that had just been condensed and making a big step forward.

What is this concept?

If calculated in terms of time.

That is, Ji Qiu took this step, just like the Dharma Realm King who had just made a breakthrough, gained hundreds of years of Taoism!

Moreover, you still need to have the opportunity and enlightenment to practice, otherwise it will just be going around in circles in the end, in vain.

That’s why I say that the Jiuding forged in the Xuan Shang era is Ji Qiu’s opportunity to climb to the top in this life!

According to the current progress.

He only needs to sacrifice a cauldron of luck again, and he will have a chance to reach the middle stage of Dharma.

Such a level of progress is almost unimaginable even within the 800 Dao Domain of the Eastern Wasteland of Yuantian Realm.

Even if they are ancient Taoist traditions and powerful figures in the holy land of this world.

If compared with today's Ji Qiu.

It’s all very different!

"According to this progress, if we can really push the nine states and gather the cauldron of the seven kingdoms, I may not be able to get a glimpse of the mystery of the soul in this life!"

"Moreover, every time a Nine Cauldron is obtained, the power of luck and blessing in it becomes more and more powerful. Now the two cauldrons are fused together, and the Mountain and River Sacred Cauldron transformed into one is beyond ordinary Taoist soldiers."

"Judging from the fight with King Yong of Zhao Wu at that time, his war spear came back to kill me again, but it may not be able to explode my body. I need to trigger the characteristic of being invincible through all calamities before I can recover as before."

"So, I have become stronger again."

After completing the practice, Ji Qiu stood up from his meditation, his eyes twinkling.

Then, with a wave of his sleeves, the two cauldrons slowly blended together, turning into an ancient bronze cauldron inscribed with the landscape of the two states, embellished with birds and animals, and covered with hazy light!

[Holy Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers (remnant)]

[Quality: Taoist]

[It is made by combining the two nine tripods of ‘Yu’ and ‘Yong’ through sacrificial refining and solidification. Only seven of them are missing. With the blessing of the Qi of the Nine States, you can be blessed by the luck of humanity. All evil will be difficult to invade and your luck will be prosperous! 】

[When the nine tripods are gathered together, they can be transformed into the true cauldron of the holy way, suppressing the nine states. With one word, I can gather the energy of heaven and earth, bless my body, and strike across the sky and the earth. If I hold it, I will become the orthodoxy of humanity!]

This is what Ji Qiu heard from King Xuan Shang when he was in Chaoge. The Holy Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers can only be manifested by the synthesis of Nine Cauldrons.

Although it is incomplete now, it is still stronger than the average Taoist soldiers.

For killing and fighting, you can use the Tai'a Sword; to protect the avenue, you can use the Mountain and River Cauldron.

Only now can we truly say that the situation is complete!

Calculating the time, it’s almost time.

As long as Ji Qiu is determined, Qin Zheng will be of great use and the Zhao family will successfully ascend the throne.

Then his 'Yuan Shen' plan can be fully launched.

Lord of Jiang Qi, King Wu of Wei, Lord of Western Qin, King of Southern Chu

Also, the Emperor of Zhou was appointed by Heaven to live forever!

Now with the sword, he is truly qualified to challenge these ancient kings who have stood firm for thousands of years!

Then, step on their bones and build your own avenue!

In the small courtyard.

Sitting under the willow tree with buds on it, Xuanwei swayed his calves, blowing the breeze on the stone bench, and picked up a book. Not long ago, an unknown novelist from Zhao Wangcheng wrote

Regarding the end of King Wu of Zhao, the "King Wu Ceremony" compiled here is being read with gusto.

The guy who wrote this book obviously admired Ji Qiu very much. If it weren't for the title of the book, The Ceremony of King Wu, and just looking at the long description, people who didn't know it would have thought that the protagonist was the great sage from Jixia.

After the uproar in the city a while ago, the whole story of the end of King Yong of Zhao Wu cannot be kept secret. Although the details cannot be revealed, most of the candidates who participated in the war ceremony are also known.

But even if you don't know the details, some literati have always added extravagance to their writing.

certainly.

What the novelist didn't know was...

Perhaps, what he described may actually be reality.

After walking out of the yard, Ji Qiu glanced at the red-haired girl who was attentive and immersed in her own world. Ji Qiu had no choice but to look away. He no longer wanted to preach and stopped paying attention.

Because he has other things to do today.

More than three months ago.

Qin Zheng discussed some matters with Yu Xiang, the chief minister of the Zhao family.

Then, right after that night.

The wind direction in the royal city changed almost overnight. Among them, the great Sima Yuxiang directly expressed his objection to Lord Wu Mu's ascension to the throne.

Not only that, Zhao Wuling, the general in charge of military affairs, even opposed Wu Mujun's request to inherit the throne.

The two giants objected together, and for a while the ministers and nobles seemed to have noticed something, so they began to sit back and watch.

After all, the ‘changes in the night’ are still fresh in our minds, and they all have a criminal record.

Although Shangqing is strong, he is still a little unsatisfied in front of these ancient giants who can easily knock down huge cities and open mountains with their fists.

Therefore, under this situation, even if Zhao Wumu's faction strongly opposed it, matters related to his succession to the throne were still postponed for the time being.

This strange balance is maintained.

At the same time, there was also a young man who claimed to have been authenticated by King Yong of Zhao Wu. As a mediator, he entered the perspective of many powerful people in the royal city.

The cowardice and reticence that had been dormant for more than ten years seemed to have completely faded away from him at that moment.

When that young man declared that he wanted to inherit the throne of King Zhao in a reasonable way.

Faced with overwhelming scorn and ridicule.

He said nothing in return.

He just used his own way and the customs of Zhao Tu, holding a sword in his hand, and in a short period of time, he picked out seven ministers who expressed disdain to him in front of him, and made it clear to the huge royal city——

He is qualified to inherit that throne!

Suddenly, the reversal happened unexpectedly.

Especially since the climax has not yet ended, but for more than three months, he actually took advantage of the aftermath and declared that he would stand on the highest altar and launch a battle to decide the crown prince against Zhao Wumu. The entire royal city was because of this.

And boiling!

Even though he had the vague support of the Grand Sima and the General behind him, in the eyes of some people, this decisive battle was still a bit too farce.

But is it possible?

You have to really try it before you can know.

This wonderful farce will begin today.

As for who will have the last laugh.
Chapter completed!
