As for whether he can establish a firm foothold in the East Palace and become the highest Zhao Gao step by step, it depends on his own destiny.
A few months passed by.
The territory of Qin State was relatively stable, but Zhao State was in trouble again and started fighting with Yan and Han.
The reason for the fight is very simple. Zhao wants to expand. It is surrounded by Qin, Qi, Yan, Han, and Wei. Among the five countries, only Yan and Han are easier to bully. If you don't fight them, who will you hit?
In addition, Zhao Yi sent a letter saying that he had taken refuge with Prince Dan of Yan State.
This time when Yan and Zhao go to war, he will participate in the war as a captain of the Yan Kingdom.
Zhang Heng did not reply.
Zhao Yi is a person who knows how to take advantage of situations. He believes that as long as he replies to a letter, no matter what he writes, he will easily be ripped off.
Let’s take the simplest example.
He wrote back to Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi didn't need to say anything, he just walked around with his heart in his heart. Others would have to respect him if they just thought about it.
Went back.
As we change cups, let me tell you about Hua Rou, my foster sister.
There is no need to talk about anything else, this tiger skin is just covering my body.
Unfortunately.
Zhao Yi is smart and Zhang Heng is not stupid either.
He won't give this a chance.
After all, when Zhang Heng was playing this trick, Zhao Yi was still playing in the mud.
"Boss, an old woman with her grandson came to the store and said she was your old friend."
As soon as he finished reading the letter, Hou Wu knocked on the door.
"My old friend?"
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment.
In the true realm, who can be counted as his old friend.
Sweep outward with your spiritual consciousness.
Enter the eyes.
Standing in the store was an old woman in her sixties, accompanied by a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old.
"It turns out that God Liu is here."
Zhang Heng opened his Dharma eyes and saw a thin willow tree floating above the old woman's head. He nodded and said, "Yes, she can be considered an old friend of mine."
Zhang Heng's space method was passed down from the hands of Liu Shen.
Although it is said that he exchanged this method for the elixir of longevity, the value of the space method far exceeds that of the elixir of immortality, so this favor cannot be denied.
"I said that when I woke up this morning, I felt a kind of secret joy. It turned out that a distinguished guest was coming."
Zhang Heng personally greeted him and asked Liu Shenxiao, "Fellow Taoist, how are you doing here?"
"An Ran, An Ran."
Liu Shen does not come in his true body, but in his external incarnation.
As expected, it should be formed from a willow branch on the main body.
"Is this Bai Hao?"
Zhang Heng glanced at the young man again: "We haven't seen each other for a few years, but we have grown so big."
Bai Hao has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks sixteen or seventeen years old, with a simple and honest face.
Between the eyebrows, there is a vague look of his childhood, which is not too difficult to identify.
"Junior Bai Hao, I have met my senior."
Bai Hao stepped forward to greet Zhang Heng.
"no."
Zhang Heng waved his hand to stop his bowing, and continued to talk to Liu Shen: "Why did fellow Taoist come to Xianyang? Could it be..."
Zhang Heng didn't say anything else.
Liu Shen nodded in affirmation and replied: "Bai Hao has also grown up. He has studied Dharma with me in the past few years and has made rapid progress. I brought him to Xianyang City this time, firstly to see the world, and secondly to accompany him.
Send a message of war to Bai Yi."
Bai Hao and Bai Yi are both sons and heirs of the Bai family, a noble family of Qin Dynasty.
Bai Yisheng has double pupils and is several years older than Bai Hao.
When he discovered that Bai Hao had immortal bones, he went back and told his mother. Bai Yi's parents took advantage of the opportunity to worship ancestors and secretly attacked Bai Hao, poached his immortal bones and transplanted them into Bai Yi's body.
Now Bai Yi has become a leader among the younger generation and is unparalleled in the limelight.
Bai Hao suffered a lot and grew up under the care of Liu Shen.
Looking at it like this, this is the end of all hardships, and he wants to take revenge on Bai Yi and take back the immortal bones that Bai Yi took away.
"No wonder Liu Shen appears in an incarnation. He wants to protect Bai Hao."
Is Bai Yi strong?
Strong, definitely one of the best among the younger generation.
But what's even stronger is his background.
There is an ancestor from the True Immortal Realm who sits in the Bai family. When Bai Hao's immortal bones were dug up and he was exiled from the clan, Bai Hao was still cultivated as the core heir. From this, it is not difficult to see the position of this ancestor of the Bai family.
Therefore, the battle between Bai Hao and Bai Yi is not just a matter between the two of them.
There are deeper implications behind it.
Without Liu Shen protecting the way, even if Bai Hao could defeat Bai Yi, he might not be able to escape the fate of being suppressed.
After all, Bai Hao is just a branch of the Bai family, and Bai Yi is the direct descendant.
"Fellow Daoist Liu is a guest from afar, so I should sweep the couch to welcome him."
"But Bai Hao's revenge may not be that simple. Fellow Taoist, you are seriously injured and have not recovered. I think it is best to consider it in the long term."
It’s not that Zhang Heng looked down upon Liu Shen’s combat prowess.
But the water in Xianyang is very muddy. On the surface, Lu Buwei is in charge of Qin's combat power, just like Zhao Xuanji of Zhao.
But in fact, Lu Buwei is just a decoration on the surface. There are many people in Xianyang City who are stronger than him, or not weaker than him.
Liu Shen came from the upper world and has never recovered from his serious injury.
In a fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to gain any advantage in Xianyang City.
"I appreciate Fellow Taoist's kindness, but I still have to do what needs to be done."
"When soldiers come to block it, when water comes to cover it up, I will not interfere in what Bai Hao should do. But if someone wants to bully a small one, I, as a master, will not agree."
Liu Shen's attitude was firm.
Zhang Heng didn't know what to say when he saw this. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Bai Hao is not his apprentice. If his apprentice is bullied like this, he, as a master, will not care so much.
"Since Fellow Daoist Liu has a plan, I won't say anything more."
"Hou Wu, go and call Hua Rou and tell her that I will introduce a new friend to her."
Zhang Heng asked Hou Wu to call Hua Rou.
Hua Rou is a few years older than Bai Hao, but after meeting Bai Hao, her little brother, she obviously likes him very much.
Especially after hearing about Bai Hao's life experience, Zhang Heng didn't need to say anything, but he wanted to take Bai Hao around to show his loyalty as a landlord.
"Go ahead, you haven't had many friends since you were a child. Master Zhang Zhai and I call each other Taoist friends, so naturally you should get closer to his descendants."
Facing Bai Hao's questioning gaze.
Liu Shen readily agreed.
It has been many years since she came to the True Ding Realm, and there are not many people who can look up to her.
Zhang Heng counts as one.
She has a good relationship with Zhang Heng, so she naturally hopes that the younger generation can become close friends.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this junior like you is quite talented."
Wait until Hua Rou takes Bai Hao out.
Liu Shen and Zhang Heng sat on both sides and said cheerfully: "My whole body is full of aura, and I can tell you are extraordinary at first glance, and my future is limitless."
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "When it comes to talent, those who can achieve the status of true immortals will have less talent. But there are also three, six or nine levels of true immortals. From your point of view, talent is just the icing on the cake. The most important thing is
Time, destiny, chance, and character.”
Liu Shen nodded: "That's the truth. The smaller the family, the more they pursue talent. However, in the eyes of those big forces that have existed since ancient times, talent is not important."
"Low talent can be reversed with treasures that change qualifications."
"If your character is poor, it will be difficult to change it through the day after tomorrow."
Finished.
Liu Shen changed the topic and asked again: "Zhang Daoyou, how much do you know about Ying Zheng in the Prince's Mansion?"
"I don't know much about it." Zhang Heng told the truth.
Liu Shen opened his mouth and said: "I have the power of hope. It's not easy to say. Prince Ying Zheng is at the top of the list. He should have a great inheritance."
"Great inheritance?"
"But Zhuanxu, the Black Emperor among the Five Emperors?"
According to legend, the royal family of the Qin Dynasty is the descendant of Fei Lian, a famous general of the Shang Dynasty, and their ancestor is Emperor Zhuan, one of the Five Emperors.
Speaking of inheritance, the Qin royal family should have some inheritance from Emperor Zhuan.
"Emperor Zhuan?"
Liu Shen thought for a while: "There may be more than one."
"More than one!"
Zhang Heng took a breath.
Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
complement each other.
Individually speaking, among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, everyone's inheritance is extremely outstanding.
Even if it is only a partial inheritance, it is enough for the Qin State to look at all directions.
More importantly, the inheritance of these eight emperors can serve as a link between past and present and complement each other's strengths.
If Ying Zheng carries not only the lineage of Emperor Zhuan, but also the lineage of the other four emperors, his potential is definitely one plus one which is greater than two.
As for the younger generation, there are probably very few people who can compete with him.
When he achieves the status of a true immortal in the future and completes the Five Emperors' Law, he vows to suppress an era.
This era can be called: the Immortal Qin era.
the other side.
Hua Rou took Bai Hao for a walk in Xianyang City.
Bai Hao has been practicing with Liu Shen these years, and when he was a child, he was recuperating in Bai Village.
Little knowledge of the outside world.
Now that I have arrived in the prosperous Xianyang City, I am like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything I see is strange.
"this is for you."
Hua Rou bought two bunches of candied haws.
He gave one to Bai Hao and said, "Call me sister."
"elder sister."
Bai Hao responded honestly, took one candied haws in one mouthful, and said vaguely: "Sister, this thing is so delicious."
"You haven't eaten it before?" Hua Rou looked surprised.
Bai Hao shook his head: "When I was a child, I was recuperating in the village and rarely saw outsiders. Later, I followed my master to practice on the island. Master and I were the only ones on the island. The most we ate was grilled fish."
Hear Bai Hao's words.
Hua Rou's eyes became softer and she thought to herself: "No wonder he looks so naive, he is a miserable child."
Then he thought again: "But the talent is really strong, even better than my sworn brother Zhao Yi. He only has three golden talents. If you don't copy them, you would be sorry for my copying talents."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly."
Just as he was thinking about it, panic suddenly spread among the crowd.
Hua Rou looked up and saw a few cavalrymen leading the way, followed by a four-horse cart.
There was a flag hanging on the car, with the word "白" written on it.
"white!"
Bai Hao replaced his honest expression with coldness and looked at the carriage quietly.
Hua Rou was startled by his appearance and hesitated to speak.
Bai Hao noticed Hua Rou's expression and explained: "Sister, the person in the car is the enemy who poached my immortal bones, Bai Yi."
Hua Rou looked towards the carriage again.
At first glance, the people in the carriage seemed to have a telepathic feeling, so they opened the curtains and looked this way.
Eyes facing each other.
Seeing Hua Rou standing on the side of the road, Bai Yi immediately thought that this was the descendant of the hermit immortal from Henggu Zhai, so he smiled and nodded to express his goodwill.
Then his eyes moved back.
He glanced at Bai Hao next to Hua Rou.
It doesn't matter at this glance, the smile on his face can no longer be maintained.
"impossible!"
Feeling the dull pain in the immortal bones on his body.
Bai Yi's first reaction was disbelief.
He looked at Bai Hao blankly, the expression on his face changing again and again.
Bai Hao also looked at him quietly.
Neither of them made any other moves, but their fates were already intertwined at this moment.
"Bai Hao!"
The carriage did not stop and kept driving forward.
When he could no longer see it, Bai Yi slumped down on the soft seat, still unable to regain his consciousness for a long time.
As the legitimate son of the Bai family, he is one of the few young talents in the world.
Bai Yi has always had an inner demon.
The immortal bones on his body are not his own, but taken from his clan brothers.
It is different from what many people imagine.
Regarding this matter, Bai Yi has never been complacent over the years, but instead deeply regrets it.
Chongtong's ability is invincible, so there is no need to borrow another person's bones.
The existence of the immortal bones reminds him all the time that his so-called genius is actually just a thief.
"Little Marquis, the Prince's East Palace has arrived."
The carriage stopped in front of the Prince's Mansion.
Bai Yi seemed unaware, his mind was filled with Bai Hao's figure.
"arrive?"
Bai Yi came back to his senses, took a deep breath and walked into the East Palace.
Not long after, they came to a large hall, filled with smoke, and a young man in black attire was sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall with disheveled hair.
"Bai Yi, see His Highness."
in the outside world.
The majestic and arrogant Bai Yi knelt down on one knee without hesitation in front of the young man in black.
"What happened?"
The boy looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with a young but majestic face: "You are upset."
Bai Yi did not dare to hide anything and said, "I met my brother Bai Hao outside the palace."
"Bai Hao?"
The young man opened his eyes.
In an instant, it seemed as if an ancient ferocious beast had awakened in the hall, and the breath was so heavy that people could not breathe.
Bai Yi lowered his head.
I didn't dare to look into the boy's eyes.
But there was already a storm in his heart: "It is not that no one in the royal family practices the Five Emperors' Method, but I am afraid that there are only a few people who have cultivated to the point where they are like a great emperor in body and spirit like a great emperor in tens of thousands of years."
Thinking of His Highness the Crown Prince's age again, Bai Yi felt bitter.
Many people say that he is the first genius of Qin.
But only he knew that compared with the Crown Prince in front of him, the word "Tianjiao" really did not live up to its name.
But thankfully.
His path to invincibility is that of a general, not an invincible tyrant.
The prince is the future king to whom he must be loyal, otherwise staying by his side may damage his Taoist heart.
"interesting."
Ying Zheng closed his eyes again and whispered: "Over the years, words have killed people. If you can't pass the test in your heart, Bai Hao has become your inner demon."
"Whether he appears or not, Bai Hao is your calamity, but he is not your destiny."
"I guess you have some ideas along the way, right?"
Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "If I'm right, Bai Hao came to Xianyang this time to settle the relationship with me."
"I have already thought about it. No matter how he moves, I will continue. When he is willing to lose or loses in despair, I will return the immortal bones to break the evil of the happy demon."
Ying Zheng said in a faint tone: "You lose?"
Bai Yi said categorically: "If you lose, you are not as good as others. If he wants it, just give him this life. Fight hard and die fighting hard. This is my destiny."
"Okay, okay..."
Ying Zheng looked very happy: "You are worthy of being my future great general. He is really brave."
Finished.
Ying Zheng said again: "No matter what, you are mine. Since you are facing a formidable enemy, I will teach you a boxing technique. This boxing is called: Black Emperor World-Suppressing Fist."
"Zhao Gao!"
A call.
Under Bai Yi's gaze, a young eunuch ran in from outside the palace.
He knelt down in front of the prince, respectfully took out a pair of leather boots from his arms.
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment.
He has seen too many eunuchs who are good at flattery.
However, he hid the prince's shoes in his arms to keep them warm to prevent them from getting cold inside. This was the first time I had seen such a sensible eunuch.
"Zhao Gao!"
Zhao Yi thought in his heart.
He had a feeling that the future of this internal supervisor named Zhao Gao was limitless.
