The battle between Luo Wang and the Iron Blood Alliance caused huge turmoil in the Xiangjian Conference. Thousands of Jianghu people suffered heavy casualties in the melee. What was originally a grand event turned into a waste.
The two Mohist factions left directly after the war; the Nong family reappeared as the former hero Tian Guang, and no one knew what information Tian Hu exchanged with Tian Guang, and they left soon afterwards; the Confucian Zhang faction continued to wander the world due to the lack of self-examination ability and prestige.
; The Jianghu people who survived the melee had no intention of discussing swords and went back to their respective homes one after another.
In short, after all the chicken feathers were everywhere, what was left was the dilapidated sword-making villa and the Fengbeard sword manual that became a joke.
As for Lu Yan and Ju Shuang, they have also embarked on their journey back to Qin.
Ju Shuang fell behind Lu Yan on horseback. Seeing this guy lying leisurely on the horse, she asked, "Is it okay to start a head-on battle with the Iron Blood Alliance like this?"
Lu Yan squinted his eyes and enjoyed the bright sunshine, and responded: "There's nothing wrong with it. I'll find something to do for the Luowen Organization. Otherwise, this dark organization is in my hands and I'll always feel suffocated. If I can force the Iron-Blooded Alliance to hide,
strength, that would be even better.”
"Understood. How about this trip to the rivers and lakes, have the previous psychological problems been resolved?"
"Huh? That's not true, but it has strengthened some of my ideas." Lu Yan opened his eyes, and his tone changed from casual to serious.
"What?"
"Look at how chaotic this world is, and such a scene will never happen in the Qin State, let alone civilians who will be affected by the fighting in the world."
Ju Shuang agreed very much, "On this point, Qin is indeed the first in the world."
"So, I am more determined about what I am doing. I remember Han Fei once said that he saw his own death across the long river of time. Before, I only thought that was a pretentious statement, but now I can
I understand the meaning."
"What is it?"
Lu Yan lay on his back on the horse, raising his hand upwards, as if holding the clear sky, "My eyes have traveled five thousand years up and down, and I have seen a beautiful future. For such a future, as long as my original intention remains unchanged, I will walk all the way."
The sacrifices I have made are not a burden on my heart, but a force that urges me to realize this future.
As for Han Fei, I'm afraid he is just the opposite of me. He saw Korea's doomed future, but insisted on an effort that was doomed to fail. Therefore, he could only see death, but I could gain the strength to move forward."
No matter how many times she watched it, Ju Shuang would always feel a little unfamiliar with Lu Yan at this time, as if he was beyond this world and not in the same sky as herself. She sighed: "Five thousand years... a human lifespan of less than a hundred years,
But there is hope for thousands of years of vision... Young Master, you always say things that are beyond my imagination."
"Hahaha, it's not that I'm great, but..." Lu Yan was a little playful at first, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out no matter what.
It’s not that I am great, but that everyone has not awakened yet. When the people of this land awaken, they will be the future creators of this land. What I have to do is to guide this awakening power...
Lu Yan clasped his legs and suddenly sat up from the horse, holding the reins and shouting "drive" to the west.
Qin State Xianyang
What happened in the Chu Kingdom's arena had been reported to Lu Yan first, and the mysterious man and Liao once again quarreled over this matter.
Liao angrily threw the information in his hand to the ground, "Did I tell you not to think about killing Lu Yan, but you still insisted on mobilizing the power of the organization."
The mysterious man was equally unconvinced, "If you can apply with me, Lu Yan is already a withered bone in the grave at this moment. First he fought with Tian Guang. If I have enough manpower later, he will definitely die!"
"Two Dacheng-level killers failed to take down the injured Lu Yan. Do you think that increasing the number of people will help?"
"Why not? No matter how strong Lu Yan is, there is no way he can withstand the joint attack of four or five Dacheng killers! Now that he has returned to Xianyang, there will be no chance to assassinate him for many years! If you want to get rid of him, just rely on
You look so slow, how long are you going to wait?!"
"Do you have any brains? The whole plan failed in the end. Is it just because of insufficient combat power? Lu Yan must have seen the flaw in your plan."
"Lu Yan is not a god. Just because you are no match for him in court, don't make excuses for your incompetence by praising him as if he can predict the future!"
The two of them were tit for tat and refused to give in. They argued for a long time and neither could do anything about the other.
Finally, Liao calmed down his breathing, picked up the information that fell on the ground, and lit it on the candle. "Listen, I have applied to the organization to be fully responsible for the mission in Qin. You are just waiting for the new appointment."
Well, hum."
"Liao~" the mysterious man roared in his throat, and disappeared directly.
Xianyang Zilanxuan
Nongyu was playing the piano, and there was a middle-aged man sitting next to him who was stroking his beard and listening quietly. He was dressed in a white robe, with densely patterned dark blue sleeve collars. His loose hair covered half of his face, and the raised corners of his mouth showed
He was very satisfied with the sound of Nongyu's piano.
Nong Yu lightly pressed her hand on the string and bowed her head respectfully to the man, "Teacher, how did I play this time?"
The man nodded, flipped his hair and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Well~ Compared to the last time I saw you, although your skills have not improved, your grasp of the emotions in the music has improved to a higher level. Your talent is really my fault.
I have only seen them in my life. Compared with me when I was a child, I should say that we have our own strengths."
Nongyu seemed to be very accustomed to the man's way of speaking, and chuckled: "Haha, thank you teacher for the compliment."
"The last few piano pieces are all about the love between children, and sincere feelings have a sense of longing. Nongyu, are you——"
Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a knock on the door outside.
Nongyu's aunt Hu Meiren came in with a jasper wine bottle and said with a smile: "Master Kuangxiu, this is your favorite orchid wine."
Kuang Xiu opened his eyes and nodded and said: "Thank you Miss Hui, Zilanxuan wine is indeed the most suitable taste for orchid wine."
Hu Hui sat down and filled his wine glass and said: "Observing the guests' preferences and providing the best service is necessary for doing business. Master Kuang Xiu said this, which makes me more confident."
"Haha, Zilanxuan's business is not bad now. It seems that Miss Hui, Hui Zhilanxin, is not just talking about supporting such a treasure house."
"Haha, I'm just here to deliver the wine, so I won't delay the master's teaching on jade, um~" After saying that, she stood up, bowed and left.
Kuang Xiu watched Hu Hui walk out of the room and then came back to his senses, "Where did you talk about just now? Oh, I heard that the national preceptor Lu Yan has gone to Qi State's Xiaoshengxian Manor for the crowning ceremony. Counting the time, it's almost time to come back.
No wonder your piano music has been filled with all kinds of thoughts recently... Although being able to express true feelings is indeed a musician's skill, for the listener, uncontrolled emotions are a disaster."
Nong Yu was still a little blushing at first, but when she heard Kuang Xiu talk about the art of piano, she immediately threw herself into learning again.
Kuang Xiu saw Nong Yu's expression and nodded without any trace.
It might be an option to pass on my piano skills to her, but unfortunately, the artistic conception of "Mountains and Flowing Waters" is completely different from hers. I wonder if I can find a suitable successor for this music score...
