The corners of Ji Ruxue's mouth trembled obviously.

Moreover, after hearing Jiang Erlang's words, both Kuroko and Shirako had a little 'unkind' in their eyes, and they seemed to dislike Jiang Erlang's question very much.

Jiang Erlang keenly captured this.

However, he has no other choice, because this matter is related to his next layout, which can be said to be very important.

Ji Ruxue picked up the wine jug again, took a sip, and said: "The reason why the Zongheng family withdrew from the court is actually very simple, that is, it is no longer possible to use the 'Zongheng Technique' to bind the 'National Fortune' for cultivation. ”

"Bind the cultivation of national fortune with the vertical and horizontal technique?" Jiang Erlang showed a puzzled expression.

"Well, the cultivation system of the Zongheng family is somewhat similar to that of the Legalists, both of which are related to the fortunes of the country." Ji Ruxue gave an answer.

Jiang Erlang nodded slightly, he already knew about this matter, but he didn't know the real relationship between the Zongheng family and the national fortune.

Ji Ruxue saw Jiang Erlang nodding, so she didn't explain more about the national fortune, but continued: "But there is an essential difference between the Zongheng family and the Legalist family. ”

"Oh? What's the difference? Jiang Erlang asked.

"The difference is that the Legalists can only bind the national fortunes of one country, while the Zonghengjia can bind the national fortunes of 'many countries'!" Ji Ruxue said slowly.

Bound to the national fortune of many countries!

！

What kind of 'domineering' cultivation method is this?!

Jiang Erlang was shocked in his heart, because this answer was indeed beyond his expectations.

Ji Ruxue seemed to guess Jiang Erlang's thoughts, and continued to explain: "For example, the famous man 'Su Qin' in my family, he alone once wore the 'Six Kingdoms Seal', and for example, Gongsun Yan's life, he also used to Zhou Xuan among countries, trying his best to unite countries and jointly crusade against Qin. ”

Jiang Erlang was thoughtful.

After thinking about it, he asked, "But why didn't Zhang Yi hang the seals of many countries?" ”

"No, Zhang Yi also hung the seal of the Wei State." Ji Ruxue shook her head and added: "Moreover, when Zhang Yi traveled around the countries and fought against them with a horizontal strategy, he was also practicing the vertical and horizontal arts. ”

"Traveling around the world, is it the practice of vertical and horizontal arts?"

"Yes, the cultivation of the Legalists is to bind the national fortune of a country, and the law is strong when the country is strong, and the cultivation of the Zonghengjia is to 'strengthen itself by borrowing the national fortune of each country', Zhang Yi uses himself as a 'chess' to establish a cooperative alliance with various countries, he is the 'introduction' of the alliance between Daqin and various countries, and naturally he can also borrow the national fortune of other countries."

"I see!"

When Jiang Erlang heard this, he finally understood a little.

It is no wonder that the most popular thing to do is to 'combine vertical and horizontal', and most of them are 'diplomats'.

It turns out that the essence of their cultivation is 'borrowing luck'!

Think about it......

He gradually gained a new understanding of the world in his heart.

Legalism binds the national fortune of a country, and if the country is strong, the law is strong, and once it betrays, it is basically equivalent to 'cultivating to lose everything', and everything needs to start over, so there is no possibility of betrayal by Legalism.

It's different......

It is not completely bound to a country's national fortunes, but Zhou Xuan is in the world, constantly borrowing national fortunes from other countries to strengthen himself.

If it was during the Warring States period, it didn't matter.

Because, the diplomatic skills and vertical and horizontal skills of the Zongheng family are really powerful, even if they borrow some national fortunes, they still won't have much impact on the country.

However, after the unification of Great Qin, it was different.

"No king will watch you keep 'borrowing the fortune of my country', so the Zongheng family has been wiped out and has withdrawn from the stage of history."

However, Jiang Erlang still has a question that he hasn't figured out.

If the Zongheng family was born by the fortune of the country, then why didn't Ji Ruxue enter the court as an official? Moreover, how did she cultivate to the Four Realms Great Chess Warrior?

Jiang Erlang thought of this, his mouth moved, and his eyes looked at Ji Ruxue: "Then Miss Ji, you ......?"

"I'm different from ordinary Zongheng family." Ji Ruxue saw through Jiang Erlang's thoughts at a glance: "I am the only remaining royal family of the Great Zhou, and I have the national fortune of the Great Zhou. ”

"Hehe, Miss Ji is still amazing." Jiang Erlang smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "Then I don't know how Yan Yu borrowed the national fortune?" ”

"He ......" Ji Ruxue pondered for a while, and finally said: "I don't know very well, because, before I entered the valley, he had been accepted as a disciple by the master, and I had no way to be sure of his affairs, only one suspicion." ”

"Doubt? What suspicions? ”

"I suspect that he has the 'national fortune of the six countries' on him!"

"The national fortunes of the six countries?!" Jiang Erlang's mouth opened slightly.

"Yes, but I just doubt it, because, it has been more than three hundred years since the destruction of the Six Nations, and according to common sense, the national fortunes of the Six Nations cannot be preserved to this day, unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Forget it, I'm just guessing." Ji Ruxue shook her head, as if she didn't want to continue on this matter: "You suddenly asked this, did you find something?" ”

Jiang Erlang pondered for a moment and replied, "When I was investigating the case in Hanzhong County, I accidentally found that there seemed to be some connection between Yan Yu and the Southern Regions Wizard, and I found out that the Southern Regions Wizard seemed to have predicted the time of the arrival of the Luminous Confusion Guardian more than a month ago. ”

When facing Ji Ruxue, although Jiang Erlang will have reservations, he will not hide the normal 'secret'.

After Ji Ruxue heard this, the expression on her face became more complicated: "Is there any definite evidence?" ”

"No, but this time it's not just speculation, but there are some clues." Jiang Erlang affirmed.

Ji Ruxue fell silent.

She raised the flask in her hand again and tried to pour it into her mouth, only to find that the husk was empty.

So, her eyes looked at the wine jug in front of Jiang Erlang.

Jiang Erlang looked at Ji Ruxue, then at the wine jug in front of him, and smiled bitterly: "Have I drunk it?" If Miss Ji doesn't mind, you can take it. ”

Ji Ruxue hesitated, and the corners of her mouth suddenly smiled.

Just like the spring breeze in March will blow the peach blossoms hanging on the trees at once, the red is extraordinary, and the sky is full of pink.

She directly stretched out her hand and took the wine jug in front of Jiang Erlang, and then poured the wine inside into her mouth and drank a big sip.

Then, she spat out a mouthful of wine with some satisfaction: "If it is really as you say, then you may be able to try to tell the Queen Mother about this." ”

"Hehe, I've thought about it too." Jiang Erlang leaned his head back on the chair: "However, Yan Yu has been under the command of the Queen Mother for five years, and she has already won the trust of the Queen Mother, how can the Queen Mother believe it based on my words alone?" ”

"That's right, framing a five-year-old doctor without evidence will not be believed by anyone." Ji Ruxue nodded, and stuck out her tongue again: "But, haven't you become the golden banner of the Night Investigation Division?" The duty of the Night Investigation Department is to supervise the hundred officials, and you can go and investigate. ”

"That's right!" Jiang Erlang came to his senses, but soon he shook his head again: "However, I can't leave the capital now, and Yan Yu is in Xijing at this time." ”

"Or ...... I'll help you find out? Ji Ruxue suddenly approached.

"Miss Ji, would you like to go to Xijing?"

"Anyway, it's idle in the capital, it's better to go for a walk, and besides, Yan Yu is my senior brother, if I check him, it will be more convenient than others."

"Is that so?" Jiang Erlang looked at Ji Ruxue: "Do you want to ask Di Gong?" ”

"No, I don't have an official position in the Night Investigation Division, and I travel freely." Ji Ruxue smiled: "Therefore, Jiang Jinqi no longer needs to call himself a 'subordinate' in front of me." ”

"Hehe, that's right...... When is Miss Ji going to leave? ”

"I heard that the Buddha Gate is about to arrive in the capital, wait a few days......

"Good!"

Jiang Erlang didn't say more.

Then, he chatted with Ji Ruxue about the Buddhist Gate and the Daomen, and then he told him about the acquaintance of He Jiang Chaoge in Hanzhong County, as well as Feng Lingzi and other things.

After listening to this, Ji Ruxue's eyes gradually shone a little when she looked at Jiang Erlang: "I didn't expect that Erlang's trip to Hanzhong County this time would have a lot of gains!" ”

"Hahaha, no matter how big the harvest is, it can't compare to Miss Ji's kindness to me!" Jiang Erlang immediately slapped his ass.

"Hehe, Erlang's mouth is sweet."

“……”

……

I know the cultivation system of the Zongheng family.

Jiang Chaoge felt the need to tell Emperor Pingle about Yan Yu to win Qi.

So, he asked Jiang Yu'er to find Princess Luoyu and ask Emperor Pingle to win Qi to meet.

It's evening.

After the sun sets.

A carriage stopped at the back door of Jiangfu.

Emperor Pingle Yingqi, who was dressed in eunuch clothes, and Luo Yu, who was dressed in men's clothes, stepped out of the carriage and quickly entered the Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Yu'er naturally waited at the back door early, and as soon as she saw Emperor Pingle and Luo Yu coming in, she led the two to the study together.

After a polite exchange, another pot of tea was brewed.

Emperor Pingle Yingqi sat at the head of the study, and asked with excitement on his face: "Brother Jiang persuaded the Mo family and the Daomen to be subordinated to Jixia this time, and the credit is not small, by the way, this gift is to congratulate Brother Jiang on entering the knighthood." ”

As he spoke, Emperor Pingle took out a wooden box.

When I opened it, there was a small tiger carved from jasper, which was an indispensable thing in the study, and the quality was extraordinary at first glance.

Jiang Yu'er knows the benefits of being a 'cronie'.

Not only the civil and military officials below will give him gifts, but even the emperor is the same.

So, he happily accepted the gift and said, "Minister, Jiang Yu'er, I've seen Your Majesty!" ”

"Huh?" Emperor Pingle was a little surprised: "Brother Jiang, why is this all of a sudden?" ”

"Because, what I'm going to talk about next is about national affairs." Jiang Yu'er replied with a serious expression.

"Understood." Emperor Pingle nodded: "Imperial Envoy Jiang, please calm down, there is no need to be polite in front of me, and I will still be commensurate with brothers in the future." ”

When Luo Yu saw this, he covered his mouth and smiled: "You guys are really good at pretending." ”

Jiang Yu'er ignored Luo Yu, and continued: "When the minister was in contact with the Mo family and Daomen in Hanzhong County, he accidentally discovered it...... Yan Yu has some connections with the Southern Regions. ”

"What?!" Emperor Pingle was obviously a little surprised: "Imperial Envoy Jiang should be cautious in what he said, Yan Yu has made a lot of contributions to my Great Qin, and besides, the queen mother trusts him very much. ”

"Your Majesty can not believe me, but the minister must tell me what I know." Jiang Yu'er replied.

"Good...... You say! Emperor Pingle glanced at Jiang Yu'er seriously, but still nodded.

Jiang Yu'er changed the matter: "When I went to Hanzhong County to communicate with the Mo family and Daomen this time, I also made a discovery...... In other words, this discovery has something to do with my travel to the fairy world in my dreams. ”

"Traveling in the fairy world in your dreams?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yu'er nodded and told the story of the 'Dream Wonderland'.

Emperor Pingle was visibly incredulous.

It wasn't until Luo Yu on the side nodded affirmatively, and after confirming that Jiang Yu'er had the cultivation of the four realms of Mojia, Confucianism and Buddhism, that Emperor Pingle completely believed it.

But even then, his mouth was wide enough to fit a fist.

And after paving the way for the 'Dream Wonderland', Jiang Yu'er began to talk about what she had seen and heard in her dreams, and told about the cultivation system of the Zongheng family.

After listening carefully, Emperor Pingle's face also changed a little: "What does Imperial Envoy Jiang mean is that Yan Yu is actually the same as that Su Qin, who is both an official in my Great Qin and an official in the Southern Regions?" ”

"Well, according to the Zongheng family's cultivation system, this kind of possibility is very likely." Jiang Yu'er affirmed.

"However, as far as I know, although Su Qin is in the Six Kingdoms, in fact, he is still loyal to the Yan Kingdom, so is it possible that this Yan Yu is also loyal to Great Qin, but is only cultivating with the help of the luck of the Southern Regions Kingdom?" After thinking about it, Emperor Pingle put forward his own idea.

Luo Yu opened his mouth and said: "I think what the imperial brother said has some truth, Yan Yu is a subject of Great Qin, and the Southern Regions are just a foreign state, even if he really hangs the seal in the two countries, his heart should be biased towards Great Qin." ”

"This possibility...... And it does. Jiang Yu'er pondered for a moment and did not object.

Emperor Pingle looked at Jiang Yu'er, then at Luo Yu, picked up the teacup in his hand, and took a sip: "However, what Imperial Envoy Jiang said has to be prevented, after all, now my Great Qin is in danger." ”

As he spoke, he told the things in the Southern Regions and the Western Regions: "A few days ago, Jiang Erlang Feige of the Night Investigation Division sent a message back to the Night Investigation Division, and Di Gong met with the Queen Mother, and told the Southern Regions about the alliance between the Southern Regions and the Western Regions Demon Clan......

If something really goes wrong in Xijing, it will definitely be a disaster for me Daqin, so whether Yan Yu is loyal to Daqin or not, I feel that I should take some precautions. ”

When Luo Yu heard this, he tilted his head: "However, the imperial brother is not in power, so how can he guard against it?" ”

"Yes......" Emperor Pingle sighed: "I am not in charge of the government, and I do not have the right to transfer and command the soldiers and horses, even if I want to ambush another army and horses outside Xijing, it will not be possible." ”

"Perhaps, I can give Your Majesty a piece of soldiers." The corners of Jiang Yu'er's mouth lifted.

"You?" Emperor Pingle was stunned for a moment, and his face was extremely surprised: "Brother Jiang, don't be joking at this time, where do you have any soldiers and horses?" ”
