At the Wusui Border Gate at this moment, Li Si and Lu Yan stood on the camp gate tower, looking at the sunrise over Cangshan Mountain.
Li Si asked: "Junior brother, how do you know that I will not obey that Wang Ye?"
"Brother, you should have listened to what I said at that time about human needs."
Li Si nodded and recalled, "The first is survival needs, the second is social needs, and the third is self-realization. But junior brother is not saying that only when the needs of subordinates are met, the needs of superiors will dominate."
"But people are different. Affected by the subjective spirit, these needs can also be intertwined. For example, senior brother, even if your survival is forced by Wang Ye, you will still never forget self-realization."
Lu Yan knew the ambition in Li Si's heart. He would not give up so easily until his ambition was realized. Ying Zheng was his only choice to realize his ambition.
"Haha, if you want more than life, I didn't expect that one day I, Li Si, would be able to receive such high praise."
"Next, you can finally show off your ambitions."
"Junior brother is joking, but right now, there is still a big problem before me."
"Master Xiangbang should regret sending you as an envoy this time." Lu Yan also remembered that Li Siben was Lu Buwei's disciple, and he didn't know what the other party would do to him when he returned this time.
"Alas~"
Li Si looked at Hongri who was probing his head, sighed, and suddenly asked: "Are you really not going back to Xianyang with the king?"
"I told you, I can't go back because I have something to do." When Lu Yan heard Li Si mention this issue, he couldn't help but go back to the conversation with Ying Zheng last night.
…
"Sir, if you don't want to go back to Xianyang with me, what do you mean?"
Ying Zheng looked at Lu Yan who came to say goodbye and was a little dissatisfied.
Lu Yan explained: "The king is about to be crowned, and his trip to South Korea has exposed him. Many people in the government and the public are looking at him with cold eyes. To bring back a seventeen-year-old teacher like me is to harm his reputation."
"The talent of your husband has been passed down through the ages, and it is also known as the Seven Kingdoms. How can I lose my reputation by taking my husband as my teacher?"
"Those who know my name in the seven kingdoms only know my name because of two children's books. And the king is the king of Qin. If he worships me as his teacher, everyone in the world will laugh at it. Lu Yan is fearless, but the king cannot accept this criticism."
Ying Zheng sneered after hearing this: "Huh, people from the Six Kingdoms already despise Qin."
"It's not for the Six Kingdoms, but actually for the king's reputation in Qin."
After hearing what Lu Yan said, Ying Zheng also knew that he was about to be crowned, and anything that could damage his reputation would be magnified at this time.
But he felt that Lu Yan didn't look like a passive evader, so he asked, "Sir, why didn't you go back to Xianyang with me just for this reason?"
"Not only that, Lu Yan must be able to bear the love and worship of the king as his teacher. Does the king know that there is a struggle between heaven and man in Taoism?"
Ying Zheng is already very diligent, but if you want him to know the affairs of the world, it would be too much. He frowned and said, "I only know that Taoism has two sects, Heaven and Man, and I know very little about the struggle between Heaven and Man."
"Three hundred years ago, Taoism split into two sects: Heaven, Man, and Heaven and Man. In order to confirm the principles of mutual understanding, the ancestors of the Taoist sect founded the Guanmiao Terrace to discuss swords. Once every five years, the two sects engage in a debate, and the winner can take charge.
The famous sword inherited from Taoism, Xue Ji."
"I have heard that Taoists have a high status among hundreds of schools. I guess this sword debate is a grand event among hundreds of schools of thought."
"Well, teacher Xunzi will also come this time. As a disciple, Lu Yan naturally wants to pay a visit to the teacher."
Ying Zheng understood and said to Lu Yan, "Sir, do you want to cause trouble during this sword debate? That's what you put it."
Ahem~
Lu Yan was a little embarrassed, "Absolutely. If I do it well, all the schools of thought will add "," after my name."
Ying Zheng was amused by Lu Yan's expression. The corners of his mouth twitched a little and he asked, "Then what happened?"
"Your Majesty must never mention what the teacher said again."
"The student is waiting for your husband to return."
…
Lu Yan came back to his senses and looked at Li Si, "Teacher will also come to Taiyi Mountain this time. It's a pity that you, senior brother, can't go and visit."
"There are three senior brothers. The teacher likes senior brother the most, followed by junior brother, Li Si... I'm afraid I won't be able to see him."
Mentioning Xunzi, Li Si thought of studying in Songhai and felt a little depressed.
Lu Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Remember what I said before you set off? You will definitely succeed."
Li Si also looked at Lu Yan, "Then, after saying this, I will say goodbye."
"See you later."
"Herodus~"
One party drove a carriage and stopped at the gate of the camp. Lu Yan jumped from upstairs and landed on the ground. He got on the carriage. In the carriage, Yan Lingji sat upright with her eyebrows lowered, looking like a good baby.
Wushuang and Xiaoqi each followed behind on a horse.
There are only five people in the group. Dian Wei and Su Lie have already entered the army directly. Mo Ya and Bai Feng will follow back to Xianyang to train secret troops for Ying Zheng. They should not be the secret guards of the original plot~
At present, Ying Zheng has not yet taken charge, and does not have much real power. He urgently needs these people under his command, and Lu Yan will certainly provide them.
However, if these people put their own stamp on them in the future and get involved in the fights in the court...
Alas, let’s take it one step at a time.
First, build a reputation in Taiyi Mountain, and then inspect the Qin State. When we return to Xianyang, we will start putting paper into production, and gradually establish the Seven Kingdoms Intelligence Network. This woman, Ying Ge, needs to be rescued, and the Lao Ai Rebellion is imminent.
, things to be done, one after another.
"What are you thinking about?" Yan Lingji waved her hand in front of Lu Yan's eyes, her slender hands dazzling.
"Huh~ I've spent so many days with the king, tied up, and now I feel relaxed." Lu Yan relaxed himself and stretched.
Yan Lingji murmured after hearing this: "King Qin, the king of the most powerful country, is not as, so..."
This woman carried Tianze's last wish, but she didn't know what to do. In the days before arriving at Wusui, she had been silently listening to the conversation between Lu Yan and Ying Zheng.
"I've said a lot these days, can you understand me?"
Facing Lu Yan's question, she spoke very quietly: "I probably didn't understand."
"Forget it, tell me about the situation in Baiyue. After the war ten years ago, how did the Yue people survive? What tribes are there, what are their customs, and where are they distributed?"
Yan Lingji was confused by the question, "You asked too many questions..."
"Just tell me bit by bit."
She lowered her head, her blue eyes avoiding Lu Yan, her teeth biting her red lips, "I, don't know."
you do not know?
You weren't also imprisoned for ten years, were you?
Lu Yan knew that Yan Lingji was locked in a water prison in the opening scene. She seemed to be an item for the nobles to play with. That's how it came to be "as soft as water".
But, ten years, this...
I hurt people's hearts.
Yan Lingji saw Lu Yan's compassion in her dim blue eyes, and felt a sting in her heart.
He let out a soft moan from his throat and reached over with a hand, but Lu Yan grabbed his wrist.
She struggled twice, and when she faced the gaze of the man in front of her, flames suddenly appeared in her hand. Lu Yan let go subconsciously, and Yan Lingji jumped out and flipped onto the top of the carriage.
With the wide field of vision and the cool morning breeze, she took a deep breath and saw the exorcist looking at this place curiously.
Yan Lingji kicked off one foot and flew to the other party's side. With Xiao Xi's confused expression, she grabbed his lapel and threw him onto the top of the carriage with a "whoosh".
"Herodus~" The woman patted her horse and walked to the front of the carriage temporarily, looking at the vast sky and wild fields.
Lu Yan only heard a heavy sound on the roof of the carriage, and the driver's head hung upside down from the window, just in time to catch his gaze.
"Come in, I've been working on it for a long time, but you are the only one who is still useful."
Lu Yan was unable to complain, so he had to rely on the exorcist in the end. This leader of the hidden witches wouldn't be able to answer all questions.
The driver blinked his eyes twice, rolled his waist and legs back to the roof of the car, put his clothes in order, and showed a rare smile.
It seems that this woman, Yan Lingji, is actually not as smart as she is!
He got into the carriage and asked respectfully: "Sir, what do you want to know?"
