Dianqing and Mei Sanniang followed the servants to the courtyard, saw Lu Yan who was accompanying the child, and saluted respectively.
"Mei Sanniang pays homage to the Imperial Master."
"Dianqing has met the National Preceptor."
Lu Yan smiled, looked at the two people's current attire, and asked: "Sanniang, brother Dian, I haven't seen you for many years, and I haven't heard from you for a long time. Are you living in Qin now?"
Mei Sanniang replied: "In the Battle of Puyang, we were defeated and captured, and worked as hard labor in the Qin State to build the canal. Last year, the canal was completed, and we were pardoned by the King of Qin. Fortunately, we survived in the Qin State."
Lu Yan invited the two of them to go to the side and said half-jokingly: "I see, when you were defeated, I, the Qin State's imperial advisor, didn't go to the prisoner camp to take advantage of you. You won't blame me, right?"
Mei Sanniang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "How could I have thought of this back then? At that time, Sanniang wanted to have a baby and eat the young master's flesh all day long."
"Huh? How do you say this?"
"I came here specifically to apologize to the young master today. When I learned that the young master became a national advisor in the Qin State, he actually took in the evil thief Xuan Jian who killed the master, and actively planned to launch a war. I cursed the young master day and night;
It wasn't until the Qin State's new policy was implemented a few days ago that Sanniang understood that the young master is for the sake of the people of the world. I misunderstood the young master."
Just when Mei Sanniang was talking about Xuan Jian, Jie standing behind him suddenly opened his eyes and scanned sharply with a pair of eagle eyes.
She turned her head to look, frowned and asked, "Who is this child?"
Jie replied directly: "The evil thief you call is my father."
Mei Sanniang's pupils suddenly dilated, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, "Xuanjian's... son!"
"You want to kill me, I can feel it." Jie put on a guarded posture and asked Lu Yan, "Sir, can I use Ben Lei?"
"Yeah~"
Before Lu Yan could say anything, Mei Sanniang roared, her hands formed into palms, and she stepped in front of Jie in two steps.
"Dang~"
Jie drew out the Thunder Sword in time and held it in front of him. The opponent slapped the sword with a fleshy palm and let out a long and crisp groan. He flew backwards and "thump thump~" and stepped back one after another before he regained his composure.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden development, and no one thought that anyone would dare to take action in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.
Nong Yu and Kuang Xiu hurried over from the pavilion, asking what happened here.
Ji Yan pulled on Lu Yan's sleeve and shouted anxiously: "Uncle Lu, please save Brother Jie quickly. That woman is so strong. Her internal strength seems to be fused with her muscles, bones, skin and flesh. Even with the Thunder Sword, he is definitely no match."
Lu Yan waved his hand to the people in the Imperial Prefect's Office not to take action, and quietly watched the battle between Mei Sanniang and Jie.
As soon as they made a move here, almost all the masters in the Imperial Prefecture were alerted, and they rushed here almost instantly.
Ju Shuang and Ehuang arrived one after another and saw a group of people watching a woman beating Jie. They couldn't help but wonder, "Sir, what's going on here?"
I saw that Mei Sanniang's fists were as heavy as thunderbolts, and her steps were as fast as flying. She beat the robbery to the left and right, and the "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" sound could not be heard.
Jie carefully protected himself with his sword and stepped back without panicking.
Her fists are unstructured and messy, but they have no power. Give me a chance, all I need is a sword.
"Xuanjian!!!"
Mei Sanniang roared, crushed the ground with one foot, and the explosive force used the rotation of her waist and abdomen to sweep out with a whip leg;
Chance!
With a flash of his eyes, Jie took the initiative to step forward, lowered his body to the ground to avoid the whip's kick, and stabbed the Thunder Sword in his hand diagonally from downwards, directly into the opponent's throat;
"Dang ba ba~"
Mei Sanniang grabbed the sword blade with one hand, but no matter how hard Jie tried, she couldn't move it. Then she turned her body, clasped Jie's sword hand with her iron hand, and snatched the Thunder Sword away.
"Haa~"
She turned with her back, turned the Thunder Sword backwards, and stabbed straight through Jie's throat.
Nongyu couldn't help shouting, "Be careful!"
"Brother Jie!" Ji Yan couldn't help it anymore, dropped Lu Yan's hand and rushed out.
"What?" She ran halfway and her pace gradually stopped. She couldn't understand why the woman stopped in the end when she looked so murderous just now.
The Thunder Sword was only one finger away from Jie's throat. As Mei Sanniang held the sword, she could see her whole body trembling and tears welling up in her eyes.
Jie did not realize that he was on the verge of death and said calmly: "Don't you dare to kill me?"
"Hehe, hehe, hahaha~" Mei Sanniang turned her back to the child who killed her enemy and laughed a few times with unknown meaning. When she turned around to face the child, the tears in the corners of her eyes seemed to have never appeared.
, "Just think that I don't dare."
"Jie~"
Wei Xianxian shouted as she rushed over, crossed Mei Sanniang and hugged her son, "I was scared to death. Are you okay? He wasn't hurt."
Jie lowered his head and said, "I'm fine. I made you worry, mother."
Mei Sanniang looked at the back of the woman in white and knew that she was Xuan Jian's wife.
The Thunder Sword fell to the ground with a clang. She turned around and knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Yan, "Master Imperial Master, Sanniang is being rude."
Lu Yan leaned down, made eye contact with her and asked, "Sanniang, does this kneeling down mean that you are letting go?"
She shook her head, "I'm not qualified to say let go... I'm just making the best choice."
Lu Yan nodded and stood up. He also glanced at the ceremony and said, "I understand, you have worked hard these years. I already understand your purpose of coming. Whether you are from Wei, Han, Zhao, Yan, or Qi,
The people of Chu will be the same as the people of Qin in the future Qin State."
"With these words from the young master, Sanniang is relieved. There are 2,800 remaining soldiers from Han and Wei, and they are willing to be the vanguard of the unification of the Qin Dynasty."
Dianqing also knelt beside Sanniang, cupped his hands and said, "Dianqing, I am willing to contribute to the great cause of unification."
Lu Yan helped the two of them up and patted each of them, "Haha, don't tell me here. Go tell the king. It's not my responsibility to surrender to the army."
Mei Sanniang looked around at the people present and sighed, "Compared with Qin's military exploits, the young master's promise makes us more at ease. With just one word from the young master, Sanniang and the two thousand eight hundred brothers will be safe."
.”
She finally rushed to Lu Yan and held her hands, "Master Imperial Master, please excuse me for disturbing you. Sanniang is leaving."
After leaving the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, the senior brother and sister walked faster and faster. Mei Sanniang even abandoned the ceremony, covered her face, turned over a few times, and climbed to the roof of a building.
She punched her leg hard, holding herself up and bursting into tears, "Master, Sanniang is unfilial, Sanniang is unfilial... I didn't avenge you! Sanniang is unfilial...
Master, am I useless? Ever since I was a child, I have never succeeded in anything I have done. I have never been able to master my mental skills, I only have a limited understanding of the art of war, and I rely entirely on the help of my senior brothers to manage my sect... Now, kill
Your murderer already has a wife and a son, but I can’t do it. Am I useless?! Isn’t that right?”
"Master, tell me~"
Jianqing stood below and watched her curled up and trembling, and softly advised, "I let you make this decision because I don't have such a consciousness, Sanniang. The only person who can lead us to survive in the next era is
is you."
"Senior brother, what did you say?"
"I said, your realm has surpassed mine. If Master is alive in heaven, he will also be happy for you."
Mei Sanniang stood up and shouted to him: "But I didn't avenge him. Obviously, Xuan Jian's son..."
Dianqing said with glaring eyes: "Xuanjian killed the master, but the master's apprentice failed to kill Xuanjian, so the hatred spread to the next generation, and they continued to kill each other until one day they completely killed each other.
After killing all the immediate family members, does the other party still have close friends? Has the other party shown kindness to others? Will others take revenge? The world is filled with layers of blood in this strange circle.
Sanniang, if you can take the initiative to cut off the chains of hatred, Master will be pleased to see you."
Of course, the most important point is that if you really kill me, the two thousand and eight hundred of us will just disappear in Qin.
This last point, Dianqing thought silently in his heart without saying it out loud.
Mei Sanniang sneered, "Senior brother, you are quite good at talking."
In fact, she knew it very well, but this decision was full of pain.
"What I represent is not myself, but the future of those 2,800 people. Master, forgive me."
