#336 - Destruction is barbarism, compliance is the Chinese! Taiyi is a god-like existence!
Laws do not apply to the nobility, and rituals do not extend to the commoners.
Even in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, where rituals and music were collapsing, this rule was still tacitly acknowledged by the upper echelons of the seven states.
If King Zheng of Qin were to meet with an accident in Xin Zheng, no matter what reasons the State of Han might offer,
to the State of Qin, destroying the State of Han in one fell swoop would be far more tempting.
Even if the State of Han exposed the hand of the State of Qin behind the assassination of King Zheng, it would still be to no avail.
To the State of Qin, the death of King Zheng would be an unparalleled and perfect excuse.
Even the five states of Shandong would not stand on the side of the State of Han in a matter that could potentially threaten them.
In any case, King Zheng was the king of a state, and no matter how the six states of Shandong denigrated the State of Qin as a land of tigers and wolves,
in terms of status, the death of a king of a state in the capital of another state was a great humiliation.
For other countries, it might be different, perhaps leading to a battle and the cession of territory, but for the State of Han, there was no room for retreat.
After all, who asked the State of Han to have reached the brink of life and death?
With such a perfect excuse, given the greed of the State of Qin, it would inevitably bite off a large chunk of flesh from the State of Han.
And the State of Han, whether in terms of territory, population, or other aspects, was already the weakest of the seven states.
Ceding territory would be equivalent to jumping directly into the pit of national extinction, just waiting for the State of Qin to fill it with a handful of soil.
Unless they could directly capture the Net of Qin behind the scenes and leave the State of Qin with no room for rebuttal,
otherwise, even if the other five states of Shandong were clearly aware that there was a shadow of high-level power struggles within the State of Qin, they would only admit that it was the fault of the State of Han.
After all, some things cannot be brought out into the open, especially this kind of thing, where even four ounces on a scale cannot outweigh a thousand pounds.
That would be tantamount to completely trampling the face of the powerful and influential on the ground.
No matter how much the rituals were collapsing in this era, the most basic face still needed to be maintained.
No matter how old the hat is, it is still worn on the head, and no matter how new the shoes are, they must be stepped on.
This is what the seven states need to recognize.
Since ancient times, the feudal lords have been feudal lords, the powerful and influential have been the powerful and influential, and the common people have been the common people.
Perhaps in the conquests between each other, starting from the Spring and Autumn period, no one has followed the Rites of Zhou anymore.
However, the nobles of the seven states tacitly agreed not to allow anyone to destroy some things that were beneficial to themselves. Destruction meant barbarism, and adherence meant the Xia.
The State of Qin implemented a military merit system that allowed the lower classes to improve their own ranks through combat, which is why it was reduced to a land of tigers and wolves in the mouths of the six states of Shandong.
To a large extent, the ferocity of the State of Qin was due to the fact that it had broken the rules.
And now, those people in the State of Han are actually foolish enough to believe that the State of Qin will abide by this kind of unspeakable agreement.
This is beyond description as foolish.
You must know that the death of the ruler of one state in another state is a major event that will shake the world, no matter how weak the vassal state is.
Even if they were imprisoned, they could not be killed directly, especially in this almost despicable way of assassination.
Even King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Ying Ji, who claimed to be a tiger and wolf in those years, deceived King Huai of Chu and brought him all the way to Xianyang for imprisonment, the State of Qin did not directly kill King Huai of Chu.
King Huai of Chu even tried to escape several times during his imprisonment, but after the State of Qin caught him back, they did not dare to kill him directly.
The State of Qin, which was unreasonable in itself, still did not dare to risk the great taboo of the world. Yet, those short-sighted fellows foolishly got involved in the power struggle of the State of Qin.
This is simply hating that the State of Han is not destroyed quickly enough.
Under such circumstances, Han Fei and others could not sit still for a moment.
They hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle-Master, please forgive us. The Shang Prince must not have an accident in Xin Zheng, this disciple…"
Luo Fu waved his hand.
Along with an invisible force, it instantly enveloped the entire reception hall.
The next moment, Han Fei and others were horrified to discover that they, who were originally in the reception hall, had been instantly transported to an unfamiliar courtyard.
Wei Zhuang immediately locked onto the figure who was frowning and vigilantly looking around.
"Senior Brother? Where is this…"
"Little Zhuang?" Sensing the sudden appearance of several figures in the courtyard, Gai Nie subconsciously drew his sword, but was shocked to find that it was Wei Zhuang, Luo Fu, and others who had appeared in the courtyard.
"Moving stars and shifting constellations, shrinking the earth into inches," Han Fei blurted out, saying, "Is Uncle-Master already close to being a celestial being?"
Luo Fu did not intend to explain, but instead said to the masked figure beside him, "Luo Fu greets the Shang Prince."
"Mr.… what divine power." Ying Zheng was also quite shocked by Luo Fu's sudden supernatural means.
Although he did not have much power and had not yet taken power, as the King of Qin, Ying Zheng had seen many methods of warlocks and the like.
But even among the Yin Yang family, he had never seen such a method of instantly moving people through the air.
"The Shang Prince is too kind." Luo Fu said neither humble nor arrogant, "The Shang Prince should already know that the outside world is full of enemies."
Ying Zheng did not seem to be worried about his own situation at all. After being amazed by Luo Fu's divine power, he quickly saw Han Fei beside Luo Fu.
For Ying Zheng, although Luo Fu's methods were mysterious and unpredictable, he was now more concerned about Han Fei.
After all, Han Fei's theories were too consistent with Ying Zheng's heart.
This is also because the current Ying Zheng has not yet become the First Emperor who unified the world. In his prime, his ambition is to unify the six states of Shandong.
It was not until he truly became the First Emperor and felt the aging process that Ying Zheng began to be interested in the mysterious immortality and so on.
At this stage, Ying Zheng is more concerned about Han Fei.
Of course, it cannot be denied that in this world with martial arts true energy and warlock secrets, extraordinary power is still no match for military formations.
Even Gai Nie, who would be known as the Sword Saint in the future, was seriously injured and dying after taking on three hundred men by himself, and his record shocked and amazed the entire world.
It can be seen that the extraordinary power of this world is still limited to groups.
Obviously, Ying Zheng naturally regarded Luo Fu's spatial movement as a means similar to that of the warlocks of the Yin Yang family.
After all, when he first came into contact with the Yin Yang arts, the Yin Yang family used all their means to gain Ying Zheng's attention.
Although the Yin Yang family originated from the Taoist school, it has taken a completely different path from the Taoist school.
In terms of purpose, although the Taoist school and the Yin Yang family are consistent,
in terms of process, the Yin Yang family's unconventional approach is not just a simple description.
In order to pursue the so-called limit of heaven and man, the inheritance of the Yin Yang family not only does not treat others as human beings, but even does not treat themselves as human beings.
Not to mention anything else, just from the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Stream of the Young Commander, it is enough to let people judge how crazy the Yin Yang family is for the sake of power.
After paying a heavy and huge price, the Yin Yang family naturally did not have no gains at all.
The Yin Yang art is mysterious and unpredictable, even among the various schools of thought, it is a unique existence.
Even the Six Soul Fear Curse in the Eight Yin Vein Curses is a terrifying method that even the Mo family's saw cannot escape once it is hit.
While maximizing practicality, the Yin Yang art is still a unique existence in terms of visual effects.
At least, Ying Zheng had seen too many mysterious Yin Yang art methods from the people of the Yin Yang family.
Luo Fu's kind of movement through the air, in Ying Zheng's view, is more like a flashy method, not very practical. After all, he had seen the Eastern Emperor transform into a three-legged golden crow with the Dragon Wandering Qi in the Xianyang Palace.
Having seen too much, Ying Zheng naturally became desensitized.
He even took Luo Fu's methods for granted as a kind of illusion-like ability.
Compared to these methods that can only be called techniques, in Ying Zheng's heart, there is no doubt that Han Fei's ideas of governing the country, such as the Five Vermin, are the real way, a feasible way that hits Ying Zheng's heart.
Although he is in danger,
Ying Zheng still does not lose the demeanor of his future First Emperor.
Facing Luo Fu's reminder, Ying Zheng nodded lightly and said, "It seems that I will have to trouble Mr. Luo Zi this time."
After saying that, Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei meaningfully and said, "Young Master Han Fei, I didn't expect you and I to meet under such circumstances."
"Han Fei has met the Shang Prince." Han Fei smiled bitterly.
In his opinion, the State of Han is in big trouble this time.
Even if he and Luo Fu and others can protect Ying Zheng from escaping this disaster, I am afraid that Ying Zheng will definitely not let go of such a perfect reason to attack the State of Han.
However, in any case, compared to letting Ying Zheng die in Xin Zheng, Ying Zheng's revenge can always give the other five states of Shandong a reason to help.
At the moment, in Han Fei's heart, the most important thing is to solve the people of the Baiyue group first.
"This time, the Shang Prince has been frightened, but this time…" Han Fei was still holding a glimmer of hope, hoping to explain that this matter had nothing to do with the State of Han, but was just a conspiracy of some people with ulterior motives.
But before Han Fei could finish speaking,
a figure leaped over the high wall and landed in everyone's sight.
At the moment of seeing this figure, in a momentary trance, everyone actually saw eight figures of men, women, old and young.
"Brother King, it's been a long time." The expression of this figure suddenly changed.
Then, his sight was locked on Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng frowned, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes, and said, "You are… Cheng Jiao? You are still alive?"
"Lord Chang'an?" Gai Nie looked at this figure with a face that seemed a little hazy, making it impossible to recognize clearly.
Gai Nie had also heard about Cheng Jiao's rebellion.
But having been by Ying Zheng's side for so long, Gai Nie also knew that Lord Chang'an Cheng Jiao's rebellion was actually a scar in Ying Zheng's heart.
Although Ying Zheng hid it very well, Gai Nie found that Ying Zheng had always held a suspicious attitude towards Lord Chang'an Cheng Jiao's betrayal.
Unfortunately, no matter what, Cheng Jiao's betrayal was always true.
No matter how many difficulties or reasons he had, it couldn't be concealed.
This destined Chang'an Jun Chengjiao to bear the stigma of rebellion, and even the future Emperor Qin Shi Huang couldn't exonerate Chengjiao.
In fact, don't assume that Ying Zheng was truly a heartless and emotionless being. On the contrary, when he had just returned to the Qin state from Handan in Zhao, Ying Zheng's life was quite good.
He and Chengjiao could be considered brothers who respected and loved each other.
It's just a pity that Chengjiao's existence, perhaps not an obstacle in Ying Zheng's eyes, was a thorn in the side for many in the Qin court.
Whether it was Lü Buwei or the Chu faction, they all regarded Chengjiao as a stumbling block.
After all, in this Warring States period, due to royal marriages between various states, the courts of each state were actually filled with the forces of other countries.
The Warring States period was actually somewhat similar to a long-term divided Europe, where European royal families intermarried but still fought fiercely.
And the Warring States period was the same.
Chengjiao's mother was precisely a princess of the Han state.
Moreover, he gathered many Han forces around him, which destined Chengjiao to become someone that countless people in the Qin court wanted to get rid of quickly.
At this moment, Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, who had become the Zhen Marquis of the Eightfold Demonic Sound, bowed towards Ying Zheng and said, "Royal Brother, I have offended you today."
"Why say so much nonsense?" Just as Chang'an Jun Chengjiao's voice fell, Chengjiao's figure suddenly changed, and then his voice turned into the hoarse voice of an old woman.
Ying Zheng closed his eyes slowly upon seeing this.
He knew very well that the Chang'an Jun Chengjiao who once respected and loved him as a brother was already dead, although he didn't know what was going on with the guy in front of him. Why did it give him a feeling of facing Chengjiao?
But now, Ying Zheng had truly felt the taste of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone.
He had long stopped praying for any family affection.
It's just that, just as the two sides were about to fight.
Dongjun keenly noticed something and said, "Master, is there a way to help Chang'an Jun escape this predicament?"
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked in the direction of Luofu.
Dongjun, who had been paying attention to Luofu out of the corner of her eye, slightly raised the corner of her mouth into a hint of a smile.
That's right.
Dongjun deliberately said these words in front of Ying Zheng.
As one of the Hundred Schools of Thought that had chosen to rely on Great Qin early on.
The Yin Yang School had thoroughly studied Ying Zheng to the core.
It was precisely because they understood Ying Zheng that Dongjun and the Yin Yang School were clear that Ying Zheng was a truly born emperor.
An emperor who was almost without any flaws.
Just as Gai Nie's evaluation of Ying Zheng, there had never been one before, and there would never be one in the future.
No matter how many plans the Yin Yang School had, Dongjun would not actually take risks, but now, it was different. Having been attracted by Luofu early on, Dongjun, although she had not yet decided to betray the Yin Yang School, Luofu's position in her heart far surpassed the Yin Yang School.
In this case, Dongjun naturally hoped even more to give Luofu help.
Instead of following the Yin Yang School's plan step by step.
In front of Dongjun, Luofu had not concealed his purpose of going to the Qin state.
And now, Dongjun wanted to help Luofu successfully gain Ying Zheng's attention.
Ying Zheng hesitated slightly and said, "Master, is the person in front of me really Chengjiao?"
Luofu nodded slightly and said, "He is a killer from the Net, Eightfold Demonic Sound, but the Zhen Marquis among the Eightfold Demonic Sound does indeed have Chang'an Jun's memories."
Frowning, Ying Zheng was obviously dissatisfied with Luofu's answer and asked again, "Master, I only want to know, is he Chengjiao after all!"
Somewhat surprised that Ying Zheng cared so much about Chengjiao, it was so important.
After thinking for a while, Luofu said, "It depends on what Young Master Shang thinks. Chang'an Jun's body is indeed dead in the rebellion of that year, but his consciousness, or rather his spirit, has become a part of the Eightfold Demonic Sound. If Young Master Shang thinks he is not, then he is just a wandering ghost with Chang'an Jun's memories. If Young Master Shang needs him to be, then he can also be Chang'an Jun."
A complex look flashed in his eyes, and Ying Zheng slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Closing his eyes, he said, "My brother Chengjiao is dead. Please, Master, don't let anyone disturb him anymore!"
"Look! Look, this is your brother. Still reminiscing about the past? Just do it directly." A frivolous voice said in a mocking tone.
"Chang'an Jun, just doesn't want to harm siblings." The voice changed again, this time turning into a soft and charming voice.
In a trance, even the crowd seemed to see that the Eightfold Demonic Sound in front of them actually appeared as a charming and enchanting woman.
"Monster." Zhang Liang was dumbfounded.
Because of Luofu, Zhang Liang did not have the experience of accidentally brushing shoulders with the Eightfold Demonic Sound halfway.
And now, seeing with his own eyes that the so-called Eightfold Demonic Sound was actually such a monster, as if it were eight souls in one body, the shock it brought to Zhang Liang can be imagined.
Luofu naturally guessed that, after repeatedly being betrayed, Ying Zheng actually no longer craved family affection in his heart.
Or rather, Ying Zheng had already determined in his heart that as long as he sat on the throne of the King of Qin, then even family affection would become a tool to be used by others.
Just like Chengjiao, Ying Zheng initially couldn't believe that Chengjiao would betray him, and even until now, he would rather believe that Chengjiao was harmed by others, and the so-called rebellion was more of those who were ulterior motives, launched in the name of Chengjiao.
But this also just confirmed Ying Zheng's thoughts.
When he sat on the throne of the King of Qin, family affection would only become a burden.
Either the former relatives would take the initiative to betray him, like his mother, Zhao Ji, or like Chengjiao, forced to kill each other with him.
This is also why, knowing that the so-called Zhen Marquis of the Eightfold Demonic Sound in front of him was very likely the soul of Chang'an Jun, Ying Zheng still chose to accept the fact that Chengjiao was dead.
Sighing faintly in his heart, Luofu had to admit that Ying Zheng was indeed an emperor who had never existed before and would never appear again in the future.
Walking forward slowly, Luofu took the initiative to stand in front of Ying Zheng, staring at the so-called Eightfold Demonic Sound, and after opening his five fingers, he grabbed remotely towards the Eightfold Demonic Sound.
In the next moment, starlight lit up instantly, and eight light balls emitting various colors fell into Luofu's hands in an instant.
And at the same time, the main body of the Eightfold Demonic Sound swayed slightly, and then instantly emitted an astonishing murderous aura.
It was also at this time.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang finally recognized the identity of the so-called Eightfold Demonic Sound.
"It's you."
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang had fresh memories of Hei Bai Xuanjian.
Back then in Daliang, Wei State. Under their joint efforts, Hei Bai Xuanjian still beat them to flee in panic, if it wasn't for relying on the Eight Gates · Ghost Valley Qimen Technique, they would have escaped a disaster.
I'm afraid that the Gui Gu disciples of their generation would have died prematurely in the hands of Hei Bai Xuanjian.
Unexpectedly, after many years, they once again encountered the killer from the Net who had brought great pressure to their senior brothers.
"Where is this?" Hei Bai Xuanjian obviously realized that although his consciousness had awakened, he had not yet figured out the situation.
In his mind, after experiencing a brief confusion, Hei Bai Xuanjian finally seemed to react to something.
His gaze instantly locked onto Ying Zheng's body.
Flipping the black and white blades, he shot at Ying Zheng without saying a word.
And Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang took the initiative to meet him at the first time.
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but look at Luofu.
At this moment, in Ying Zheng's heart, compared to Luofu and Han Fei, the only one who was truly worthy of his trust was Gai Nie.
But coincidentally, at this time, Gai Nie took the initiative to meet the killer.
You know, just now Ying Zheng asked Luofu to take action.
Luofu explained, "Young Master Shang, the Eightfold Demonic Sound no longer exists. The person in front of you is the true main body of the Eightfold Demonic Sound, the former Net Heavenly Rank Killer, Hei Bai Xuanjian, and he is also the enemy of the Gui Gu disciples of that year. Even if it wasn't for good luck, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang would have died in Hei Bai Xuanjian's hands many years ago. Today, it's just to end the cause and effect of that time."
Looking at Luofu thoughtfully. Ying Zheng nodded silently.
Changing the subject, Ying Zheng said, "Master, Chengjiao…"
In the final analysis, no matter how rational Ying Zheng was, it was impossible for him to really not care about Chengjiao at all.
Even if it was only to confirm from Luofu's mouth that Chengjiao really no longer existed, he also hoped to get a definite answer.
Luofu did not rush to answer. Instead, he said, "Young Master Shang, I found a strange world in the boundless void that can accommodate souls. Now, Chengjiao's consciousness is in it, and he has become a member of that special world."
Ying Zheng's heart moved, and he said thoughtfully, "Master, can I see him again?"
Nodding affirmatively, Luofu said, "Of course, it's just that it's not so simple to meet another world."
Zhang Liang suddenly realized, "Master, is that world the Confucian Holy Land?"
You know, Zhang Liang was the first to awaken the aura of righteousness after Luofu transformed the Divine Power World into the Confucian Holy Land.
But it was precisely because of this that Zhang Liang felt even more how incredible the so-called Confucian Holy Land was.
Neither true nor false, neither virtual nor real.
And now, Luofu told him that in that world, he could actually let the soul exist in it forever.
If this so-called Confucian Holy Land can only let people awaken the aura of righteousness, then so be it.
But if it can make people's consciousness exist forever, then it's incredible.
Once this news is confirmed, then Luofu will leap to become an existence like Taiyi God.
