In early summer, a crystal clear stream flows slowly.

In the gazebo next to the stream, a young man is playing chess with an old man.

"General!"

I only heard the old man swinging a chess piece.

The young man responded with a trick that he used to solve the problem.

"Again!" The old man is more aggressive.

The young man pondered for a moment, and then responded with another move.

"Still!" The old man jumped the "horse" into a position and said with a smile, "This time there is no solution." ”

The young man looked at the chessboard, thought about it carefully, and finally conceded defeat: "I lost and lost, I didn't expect that the middle father's chess skills were so skillful, and the widow was willing to bow down." ”

This young man is Yingzheng who travels in microservices, but the person who plays chess with him is Lu Buwei, who was powerful back then.

"When King Wu gave Lu Pheasant this pair of chess, we studied the chess path in our spare time, not to mention, it is really mysterious." Lu Buwei said with a smile.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "In this way, it really seems that a lot of formation changes can be studied from this." ”

"That's right." Lu Buwei said, "The changes of this formation are endless, if the king uses it in the future, just take it and study it." ”

"It's for the best." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Even if you don't study it now, it will be of great use in the future." ”

Lu Wu, who was on the side, removed the chessboard, replaced it with a pot of tea, and was about to get up to leave, but was stopped by Yingzheng.

"What does the king command?" Lu Wudao.

Ying Zheng said: "The widow said just now that Han Ting has been taken down by us, but there are two things, but we have to make a plan, one is Han Fei's deathbed entrustment, that is, to hand over what he has learned all his life to the most downtrodden person in the Han family in the future." ”

"Another thing is that the original Han Prime Minister Zhang Ping has a request, which is to give his eldest son Zhang Liang a chance."

"And the widow thought, since it is the future, it is better to arrange for them to assist Lu Pheasant and jointly assist Liu Bang."

Lu Wu instantly understood what Ying Zheng meant, and asked, "What does the king mean that after many years, I will help them and guide them?" ”

Ying Zheng nodded: "Lu Wen's identity will be made public in the future because of Lu Pheasant, then you are the best candidate, but don't appear by your real name, it's best to change your name." ”

Lu Wu arched his hand and said, "It's all up to the king's arrangement." ”

Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei and said, "There is another matter, the widow wants to ask the middle father to decide. ”

Lü Buwei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said: "After me, there will be no more inheritance of the Heavenly Inheritor, and the surname and surname will also be combined into one, and the eight families left by the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor will officially complete their mission." ”

"Surname merger?" Lu Buwei smiled, "In other words, for example, our Jiang surname Lu family can only keep one of them in the future?" ”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "That's right, our Ying family surnamed Zhao is the same." ”

Lu Buwei sighed lightly: "In this way, this surname that has been passed down for thousands of years has to change its rules." ”

"The widow knows that this is indeed difficult for the various clans, especially for the eight major families, to accept for a while." Ying Zheng said with a bitter face, "But after all, the surname was created by the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor, and how to go there still needs to follow the wishes of the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor." ”

"Okay." Lü Buwei said decisively, "Since it is the replacement of the old and new order, it is inevitable that the old rules will be changed. ”

Seeing that Lu Buwei was relieved of this matter, Ying Zheng continued: "There is another matter that is related to the Lu family. According to the wishes of the master, the Great Zhou Dynasty was born in the surname Jiang and died in the Lu family. And the dynasty established by Liu Bang, who succeeded the widow in the future, I also want him to prosper in the surname Jiang and die in the Lu family. ”

Lü Buwei and Lü Wu looked at each other, and they didn't seem to understand what Yingzheng meant.

Ying Zheng explained: "In the future, Lu Pheasant will marry Liu Bang, so as to control the direction of the court, which is the surname Jiang." ”

"And Liu Bang's dynasty will eventually have a bad time, if the world is in chaos again after a few hundred years, I will arrange for the descendants of the Sima family to re-unify."

"As for Liu Bang's dynasty, the widow hopes that the Lu clan will destroy it. Let him also die at the hands of the Lu family, thus paving the way for the Sima family. ”

Lu Buwei frowned after hearing this: "Your Majesty, who can say exactly what will happen in these hundreds of years?" ”

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "At the beginning, Taigong estimated that he couldn't calculate the current matter, but he still left the Taigong Ancestral Order, which is why you and me." So what can't we influence in the afterlife? ”

Lu Buwei laughed: "In this way, the Lu family's Taigong Ancestral Order will continue for hundreds of years." ”

"That's exactly what the widow meant." Ying Zheng said as he took out a cloth bag from his arms.

When I opened the cloth bag, there was a dark and shiny Taigong Ancestor Decree inside!

"This is what my master wants." Ying Zheng explained, "The one of the middle father was given to Lu Pheasant, and this one should be given to Lu Wu." ”

Lu Wu knelt on the ground and took the Taigong Ancestral Order with both hands.

Ying Zheng advised: "The task of this ancestral decree is that after the decline of Liu Bang's dynasty, the Lu family will help the Sima family to reunify and return the people of the world to a peaceful world." ”

"Lu Wu commanded." In response, Lu Wu solemnly bowed to the Taigong Ancestor Ling three more times.

Lü Buwei asked, "Do you have any specific plans?" ”

"Not yet." Ying Zheng said, "The specific plan will be discussed after unification." ”

Lu Buwei arched his hand and said, "Then the Lu family will receive the order." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and then said, "By the way, there is one more thing. The master said that he wanted me to take three drops of my father's blood and give them to him. ”

Lu Buwei was surprised: "Why is this? ”

"The middle father is the bloodline of the surname Jiang." Ying Zheng explained, "The five elements of Tianmu need to be reshaped, but the blood of the surname Ji and the surname Jiang need to be blended in order to completely integrate Tianmu and Jiuding." ”

Jiuding has always been a hurdle in Lu Buwei's heart, although he already knows the secret of Jiuding, but his curiosity is heavier than before.

"If that's the case, it's better for the old man to secretly follow the king back." Lu Buwei said, "Three drops of blood may not be enough, if I go, the old man of Wuwang can take as much as he wants." ”

Ying Zheng knew his thoughts, so naturally he couldn't refute it, but he still advised: "It's okay to go back, but you must cover your face, and don't let people know that you are still alive." ”

Lu Buwei was noncommittal: "This is nature, let's go." ”

Ying Zheng returned to the city first, and then sent Zhao Gao with a carriage to pick up Lü Buwei.

Lü Buwei put on a mask, a cloak, and a hat, got into the carriage, and returned to Xianyang City.

The original Lu Mansion has now become Sima Mansion, and now that he is back, he still has to sneak around, Lu Buwei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, it is limited to sighing, but there is no trace of resentment.

Entering the secret room, Ji Fa was waiting here.

Lu Buwei took off all his clothes outside, and then saluted Ji Fa: "Senior, I heard that you want my three drops of blood, I'm afraid it won't be enough, so I came in person." ”

Ji said with a smile: "The old man expected you to come along, let's take a look at Jiuding first." ”

When he entered the door, Lu Buwei had already peeked at it several times, only to feel that these nine big tripods seemed to be different from before.

In response, he followed Ji Fa to Yuzhou Ding.

After carefully circling around Yuzhou Ding, Lu Buwei said: "It seems that this Dading is a little different from before. ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "I didn't say it, this Jiuding has been activated by the master, and we have used the unicorn horn to activate the Tianmu to reshape the Five Elements Energy for it." ”

Ji Fa continued: "This next step is to completely fuse Jiuding and Tianmu, which requires the blood of the two of us to guide it. ”

"What should I do, senpai?" Lü Buwei asked.

Ji Fa pointed to the Ding Ear on the top of the Yuzhou Ding: "There is a relatively smooth pit on the inside of the Ding Ear, just smear the blood there." ”

"That's easy to do." Lü Buwei rolled up his sleeves and prepared to kick up the ladder.

"Wait." Ji Fa stopped him, turned to Ying Zhengdao, "Zheng'er, you go and put Tianmu into the belly, and then lock it up." ”

Ying Zheng responded, turned around and took out Tianmu, put it into the belly of Yuzhou Ding, and then closed the belly of the tripod and locked it outside.

After being properly settled, Ji Fa and Lü Buwei stepped up the ladder.

The two of them punctured the nads of their thumbs, and then pressed down on the small pit on the inside of the ear.

Strange to say, the pit was like a baby's little mouth, gently sucking the blood outside.

Lu Buwei felt a little itchy, and his expression was quite strange.

However, this strange scene only lasted a few breaths before it stopped.

Ji Fa took his thumb and said, "It should be okay, Zheng'er, start adding fire." ”

Ying Zheng helped Ji Fa and Lü Buwei down from the ladder respectively, and then lit a charcoal fire and put it under the belly.

"Take some more grains and seeds, and then add half a spring water." Ji Fa commanded.

Ying Zheng responded, turned around and went to the secret room outside to get the original grains, and ordered the second and third watches to pick up the spring water.

Buckets of spring water were poured into the ding, stirring up waves one after another, which then broke and gradually formed layers of mist.

When the water was enough, Ying Zheng poured a bag of original grains into it, and joked while pouring: "Master, let's make porridge again." ”

Lu Buwei also said: "With such a big ding to boil porridge, I'm afraid no one will believe it." ”

Ji said with a smile: "Boiled back and forth, not all of them have been eaten by Jiuding, and we can't taste it." ”

Lu Buwei was a little confused when he heard it, why did Jiuding still eat porridge?

Ying Zheng explained: "It was the same method to reactivate Jiuding before, but then those spring water and grain seeds were burned dry, and there was nothing left. ”

"That would be the case." Lu Buwei nodded, "I really told it to eat, but where did it eat?" ”

Ji Fa stroked his white beard and said: "This belongs to the transformation of energy, those five element energies, all of which have been transformed into Tianmu, this process is actually the same as our eating." ”

"I understand the truth, but it's a little difficult to accept for a while." Lu Buwei said with a wry smile.

"The wisdom of the ancestors is unimaginable." Ji Fa said, "And this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are too many more advanced things, so it is inconvenient for you to know." ”

Lu Buwei sighed and patted his body with his hand, but he seemed to think of something.

"There's a fire down here, why is the temperature still the same as usual?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "How did Father Zhong forget, you asked the Jing family class to try various methods before, isn't the temperature of this Dading unchanged." ”

"Even the transformation of the Five Elements Energy, is it still the same?" Lü Buwei asked.

Ying Zheng nodded.

Ji Fa said: "This Tianmu and Dading are in harmony with each other, it will take three days and three nights, don't leave if you don't do it, and talk to the old man here." ”

Lü Buwei had this intention and happily responded.

"Zheng'er." Ji Fa turned his head and said, "You have to work hard, go and get the Tianmu of Huashan, and let's continue to condense." ”

"Okay." Ying Zheng agreed.
