In Shouchun City, Xiang Ji stood on the city wall, watching the Chu army crossing the river, his thoughts a little confused.
In his memory, this scene seemed to have appeared many times. Dongyi, Xirong, Beidi, and Nanman all surrendered...
"Damn it, it's Di Xin's memory causing trouble again," Xiang Ji's face turned pale and he cursed secretly.
Ever since he broke through to the Soul Realm, this kind of thing has happened not once or twice.
Di Xin's memory has been haunting him and affecting him.
Taking a deep breath, Xiang Ji summoned his soul. In just seven days, the two-finger-high black bird had grown to three inches.
Xiang Ji was not happy at all, but his face was gloomy.
In the past few days, Xiang Ji reorganized Emperor Xin's inheritance.
Emperor Xin's inheritance records countless secret methods for condensing the soul.
The necessary condition for condensing the black bird soul is that the warrior must have the blood of the Dashang royal family.
The relationship between the Xiang family and the Dashang royal family is irreconcilable. How did Xiang Ji's black bird soul come from?
The thought of destroying the soul and starting over flashed in Xiang Ji's mind, and finally turned into an order: "Speed up the army, I will destroy the Qin State within three months and rule the world."
For the current plan, the only way to solve this problem is to dominate the world and collect all the saints' books.
Xiang Ji thought to himself.
…
In Peixian County, Liu Ji stood at the door of Peigong Mansion, waiting with a smile on his face.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Meng Hao came over with two scribes.
Liu Ji took a step forward and saluted with a sincere look on his face: "It is a great honor for me to have two gentlemen come to visit me."
The two scribes looked at each other and returned the greeting: "Confucian Dong Shu, He Yi, pays homage to Pei Gong."
"Please, gentlemen, please speak inside." Liu Ji made an inviting gesture and welcomed Dong Shu and He Yi into the house.
Liu Ji led several people to the living room, pointed to the seat of honor and said, "Two gentlemen, please take a seat."
Dong Shu smiled slightly and said: "Pei Gong is the host, and I and I are guests. It is not in line with etiquette to turn guests away. I would like to ask Pei Gong to sit down."
But he saw He Yi with a calm face, walked to the seat on the left and sat down, showing his attitude with his actions.
When Liu Ji looked at the Confucian people, his eyes became softer and softer, and he secretly praised: "Confucian disciples are indeed good materials for ministers."
After everyone sat down in order of priority, Liu Ji took the lead and said, "The situation in the world is so turbulent now. I wonder if these two gentlemen can teach me something?"
Dong Shu, the first person on the right, smiled and replied: "We have just returned from the outer world, and we are not clear about the situation in the world. I hope Pei Gong can tell me what the situation is now."
Liu Ji couldn't help but be stunned and turned to look at Meng Hao.
Meng Hao smiled bitterly and explained: "The two Confucian brothers rushed to Pei Gong as soon as they arrived. They really don't understand the situation."
Liu Ji nodded and said to Zhang Liang behind him: "Would the military advisor please introduce the general situation of the world to these two gentlemen?"
"No," Zhang Liang said, came to the wall where the map was hung, and started explaining to the map.
An hour later, Zhang Liang, who was thirsty, returned to his seat and drank three large gulps of water in succession.
Dong Shu, He Yi stood up and bowed to Zhang Liang.
One of the characteristics of Confucianism is to respect everyone who explains your doubts to you.
"So, Pei Gong's biggest rival is in the south," Dong Shu said after listening to Zhang Liang's introduction.
"Sir, are you talking about the nationality of Chu?" Liu Ji asked thoughtfully.
Dong Shu shook his head and said: "No, it's Zhao Tuo. Whether it's Lin Ze of Qin or Xiang Ji of Chu, without the support of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, the forces will eventually disappear. Only Zhao Tuo of Nanyue has the support of Buddhism.
He is Pei Gong’s fierce rival.”
Liu Ji glanced at Zhang Liang behind him with confusion on his face. Isn't this right? Shouldn't Xiang Ji and Lin Ze be his lifelong enemy?
Zhang Liang just blinked and signaled Liu Ji to be calm.
Then Dong Shu continued: "Of course, that is all a matter later. Before facing Zhao Tuo, Pei Gong still needs to destroy the Qin State, collect its dragon energy, gain the favor of luck, and successfully ascend to the throne."
"The two of us are here precisely for this matter."
Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and finally returned to the right path.
He Yi interjected and said: "Then Linze of Qin State killed my Confucian disciples and took away my Confucian sacred weapons, which is really a crime worthy of death. I and Dong Xuexiong are willing to go out with Pei Gong to attack Qin and take his head."
."
Dong Shu shook his head and said: "For someone like Lin Ze, who is obviously a person favored by fate, it is a pity to kill him rashly. If Pei Gong can subdue him, that would be the best result."
He Yi showed a humble look on his face: "My senior fellow student is right."
Liu Ji watched the two people discussing whether to kill or capture Lin Ze. He instinctively felt that it was a little unreliable, and said with a worried look:
"It's not that I don't trust these two gentlemen. It is said that Linze's military record is outstanding, and as many as three or four grandmasters have died at his hands. Can these two gentlemen be absolutely sure?"
Dong Shu and He Yi looked at each other and laughed loudly: "Pei Gong is overly worried. How can ordinary masters compare to masters like us who come from the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism?"
"Not to mention that the two of us joined forces, and even brought the killing sacred weapon "University". Even if we fight alone, in a fair fight, we are not afraid of him."
Liu Ji coughed lightly and said, "Then Lin Ze killed the Buddhist master."
As soon as these words came out, Dong Shuhe Yi's face suddenly became serious: "But he is a Buddhist master at the peak of the master realm?"
Liu Ji thought for a while and said, "It is said that he is a high-level master."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they were only at the high level of the Grandmaster Realm. It must have been that Lin Ze won that battle with his cultivation at the pinnacle of the Grandmaster Realm.
As the two of us are at the pinnacle of the Grandmaster Realm, there must be no problem if we fight with more than with less.
Zhang Liang interrupted at the right time: "As far as I know, there are many experts in Confucian martial arts. To be on the safe side, why not send a few powerful ones from the Soul Realm to come this time?"
Dong Shu, He Yi and others turned pale when they heard this and stared angrily.
Zhang Liang looked at him with a calm expression.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Liu Ji quickly explained: "Two gentlemen, please calm down. It's not because the military advisor looks down on you two. It's just that you care about them."
"Actually, I also want to know why."
Dong Shu snorted coldly and said, "Do you think it is that easy to come down from the sky? The Confucian sage has great supernatural powers and does not dare to go against heaven. He took advantage of the chaos in the heavens some time ago and took the opportunity to send the two of me down.
"
After saying so much, Liu Ji understood one thing. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't.
It seems that Confucianism is not as powerful as they say.
He Yi keenly caught the subtle changes in Liu Ji's face and said calmly: "Don't be impatient, Mr. Pei. One day, many of our Confucian sages will descend from heaven to help Mr. Pei ascend to the throne."
Liu Ji said with a stern expression: "I naturally believe in and rely on Confucianism."
"In this case, please ask Pei Gong to prepare to send troops to attack Qin. The ceremonial weapons of the saints must not fall into the hands of outsiders."
