The way home on a snowy night.

The carriage drove slowly and leisurely over the snow-covered dirt road, reducing bumps for the people in the carriage.

Lang Yu's stomach was already obvious, and there was still a month before she gave birth, and Flame Lingji sat in the carriage and looked at her.

After passing the Jingyuan Pass, the road will be much smoother, and then you can speed up and rush back to Xianyang City. ”

"What do you think?" ”

Flame Spirit Ji put a glass of water in front of Lang Yu and said, "One month is enough time for us to return to Xianyang, there is still a superfluous, and it doesn't matter if you slow down for a few days." ”

Yan Yan nodded in agreement, he looked at Lang Yu and said, "Flame Spirit Ji is right, the time is very sufficient, and there is no need to deliberately speed up, making you comfortable is what needs to be done." ”

Lang Yu nodded, and she caressed her abdomen, feeling the life in it.

Flame Spirit Ji looked at her with a look of envy in her eyes, and Rong Yu noticed her gaze and whispered something in her ear.

Flame Spirit Ji's ears were crimson, and she glanced at Yan Yan and didn't say anything, she tried hard, but there was still no movement.

Lang Yu leaned on Yan Yan and said, "My lord, will you go out after returning to Xianyang?" ”

"Yes." ”

"How about bringing Lingji to serve by your side when the time comes." ”

Yan Yan looked at Flame Spirit Ji and said, "Do you want to go?" ”

Seeing that Flame Lingji nodded, Yan Yan said, "It's okay, after returning to Xianyang, I will take Fusu to Sanchuan County, and then I can also go to South Korea to see how the situation in South Korea is." ”

"Is the king preparing to attack South Korea?" ”

Yan Yan shook his head and said, "No, Meng Wu found that the Wei State is now weak and the people are weak, so he asked to attack the land of Hanoi in the Wei State, and took Fusu over to see what the battlefield looked like." ”

Flame Lingji "Attacking the Wei State, the king is not afraid of Korean rescue." ”

Yan Yan "It's okay, there is no need for Wei and Korea to exist, and they will be destroyed in two years at most, so that Qin can attack Chu and vacate the land of Chen soldiers." ”

Flame Lingji recalled the terrain on the map, and for Han and Wei, it was indeed the best judgment that the Qin State needed to attack first.

Yan Yan: "At present, the internal troubles of Qin have subsided, and after the rectification and transformation are completed, the Qin army will launch a direct attack without leaving any breathing space for the six countries. ”

Jingyuan City.

The carriage slowly drove into the city, and the defender generals came to meet them.

At the command post of Jingyuan City, Yan Yan looked at Kan Yutu and said, "How is the matter with what you are asked to do?" ”

The general behind Yan Yan replied, "Back to the Taishi, everything has been done. ”

Yan Yan: "How did the Yue's side reply?" ”

The general, "King Yue, said that as long as the Qin State was willing to marry him, they would help the Qin State harass the wolf clan and launch an attack on the wolf clan. ”

Yan Yan turned to look at him and said, "Marriage? ”

The general nodded, "The reason given by the king of the Yue clan is that he believes that marriage can lead to better cooperation, and it is better and sincere than verbal promises. ”

Yan Yan: "The king knows no. ”

Generals: "The king replied that he would discuss it after the Taishi returned to Xianyang. ”

Yan Yan: "What about the Donghu and Qiang people? ”

The generals "Qiang agreed, but they demanded a three-percent increase in the amount of grain for trade. ”

Yan Yan replied to the Qiang people, and the Qin State only increased by one percent at most, and if he still didn't agree, then there was no need to continue to cooperate. ”

The general nodded, and then asked, "How do you reply from Donghu?" ”

Yan Yan: "Donghu's conditions have no intention of cooperation at all, don't worry about him. ”

The general was ordered to leave and went to arrange the task assigned by Yan Yan.

Yan Yan stayed in Jingyuan City for three days, did some investigation and investigation of the army and government orders here, and found that there were no major problems before leaving for Xianyang.

Xianyang City.

After half a month of purging, Xianyang City calmed down from the turmoil, Lü Buwei was given death, all the masterminds were sentenced to death, and the people implicated were sentenced to hard labor, and all of them were assigned to build roads, bridges, and infrastructure.

Except for the lack of wages, all treatment is no different from that of ordinary laborers.

Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Wu's secret letter in his hand, and thought deeply about what Meng Wu requested.

Meng Wu asked to directly attack the Wei State, but now the King of Qi is on his way to the Qin State, once the war with the Wei State starts, the King of Qi may retreat, and the Wei State may also ask the Qi State for help, and then the Qi State may be involved in the war, resulting in the disappearance of a good situation.

Ying Zheng wrote a secret order to Meng Wu, asking him not to use troops against Wei first, and wait for Qi and Qin to submit the alliance between the two countries.

When Meng Wu received this order, he had no choice but to suppress the idea of attacking, and in the name of waiting to escort the king of Qi, Chen soldiers were on the border between Qin and Wei.

The whole Wei State had no choice but to endure the prestige of the Qin army in humiliation.

Korea.

The quicksand established by Han Fei began to investigate Ji Wuye's night and Bainiao, and the two sides fought a lot, and there was no winner for the time being.

Tian Ze was in the midst of this, constantly being used as a bargaining chip by both sides, and his subordinates died under Wei Zhuang's sword.

Tianze and his party were killed by Bai Yifei during an escape, and the exorcist was captured by Bai Yifei.

Tian Ze fled with the Hundred Poison King and temporarily disappeared into Xinzheng City.

Yan Guo.

Yan Dan saved one person after another on the top of the station and joined the Mo family, and the Mo family's power in the Yan country continued to increase.

Yan Chunjun's jealousy of Yan Dan also became deeper and deeper, and he began to premeditately slander Yan Dan in front of King Yan, saying that he wanted to rely on the Mo family to control the situation in Yan Kingdom.

Chunshengjun's words made King Yan also wary of Yan Dan, relieved him of the authority to command the army, and put him under house arrest in Jicheng.

Zhao State, Guo Kai was more and more favored in front of King Zhao, and handed over most of the political affairs of Zhao State to Guo Kai to take care of.

So Guo Kai began to constantly install his own people in the court and squeeze out others.

Xianyang City.

A horse-drawn carriage drove into the city in the direction of Liu Yang's mansion.

The carriage appeared in front of the gate of the mansion, and Yukihime and the other ladies had been waiting at the door for a long time.

After Yan Yan got out of the carriage, he helped Lang Yu to get out of the carriage, and Flame Lingji finally appeared in front of the women.

Xue Ji, Qing Ling, Zhao Li, and the startled salamander stepped forward to salute, and then returned to the mansion together under the leadership of Yan Yan.

Lang Yu went to rest first under Xue Ji's arrangement, and the bumpy road was very tiring for pregnant people.

Xue Ji and the other women sat around the tea eucalyptus, listening to Yan Yan tell about what Mobei and his party had seen.

Later, Xue Ji told Yan Yan what happened in Xianyang in more detail, so that he could have a clearer understanding of the current situation.

At night, Yingzheng sent someone to invite Yan Yan into the palace.

The apse of Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng saluted Yan Yan and said, "I've seen the teacher." ”

Yan Yan: "I've seen the king. ”

Ying Zheng and Yan Yan walked in the corridor, and Yan Yan told Ying Zheng about Mobei's plan, so that Ying Zheng could understand his next attitude and plan towards Mobei.

The two of them came to the attic where they frequented the most, and looked at the night of Xianyang, which was not in curfew, was brightly lit, and most of the streets were brightly lit.

Ying Zheng: "What does the marriage teacher of the Yue Kingdom think. ”

"Good thing. ”

Yingzheng "But in this way, everyone wants to get married, and this is not a way!" ”

Yan Yan: "The tradition of the Yue Dynasty is marriage, including the major dynasties further west of the Yue Dynasty and the Peacock Dynasty to the west of the Qiang Nationality, all of which rely on marriage to maintain the fragile alliance. ”

"The Qin State wants to use the power of the Yue Dynasty to look at the wolf clan and help the Qin State annex the wolf clan, and a marriage can do what thousands of soldiers can do, such a thing is worth doing."

Ying Zheng: "But that's it. ”

Yan Yan interrupted Ying Zhengdao, "I know what you want to say, but this time if you want to say that the wolf clan will be annexed and solved forever, without the help of the Yue Dynasty, it will take ten times or twenty times as much time, manpower, and material resources as it is now, and there is no better plan than now." ”

Ying Zheng looked into the distance, "Teacher, I saw from you the attitude of respecting every life, but now you are teaching me to destroy such an attitude." ”

Yan Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is the moment when you have to sit in this position, and weighing the pros and cons is something you have to consider all the time." ”

"At critical moments, the necessary sacrifices and grievances, and the violation of one's inner beliefs must be borne by oneself, otherwise a country will easily fall into ruin under personal preferences and become the afterglow of the sunset."

Ying Zheng looked at Yan Yan's raised hand and turned his head to look at the scenery in the distance.

Yan Yan left the Qin Palace, and walked towards the station of the Yin and Yang family, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi had been waiting for him for a long time.

It was still the moon god who walked towards the room with Yan Yan, this time with a woman by her side.

That is the newly promoted position of the Yin and Yang family, according to the responsibilities of the Yin and Yang family, this great secretary is in charge of the method of longevity, and it seems that he is a ruthless character.

Yan Yan walked into the room, and the moon god and the great priest stopped outside.

Yan Yan looked at the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who was shrouded in darkness, "Congratulations to His Excellency the Eastern Emperor for taking a step further." ”

Donghuang Taiyi returned the salute and said, "Taishi Miao praised." ”

"Please."

Yan Yan sat down in the direction guided by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, quietly waiting for the Eastern Emperor Taiyi to speak.

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi sat in the void opposite him, like a god-man corpse.

Donghuang Taiyi, "Your Excellency Taishi also understands the meaning of the next, and now the breakthrough is not long in the next, and it is necessary to return to the Yin and Yang family to continue to consolidate and comprehend the destiny together." ”

"I can't continue to serve as the protector of the country, and I can't serve in the same dynasty as His Excellency the Grand Master."

Yan Yan: "Since Your Excellency the Eastern Emperor has let the two protectors of the Onmyoji continue to stay in the Qin State to share the worries of the king, this is enough to show your intentions, and your kindness is in your heart." ”

In order to alleviate the situation of not serving the country in Qin, he decided to stay in Qin and let him be sent by the Taishi. ”

Yan Yan: "Your Excellency, you are not afraid that in the end, this protector of the sun will fall to the Qin State. ”

Donghuang Taiyi "Everyone's fate is in their own hands, I can rescue her once or twice, it is impossible to rescue her three or four times." ”

"If you don't go out to understand fate and walk into the red dust, you can't see the truth behind the fog."

Yan Yan looked at the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, nodded and said, "In that case, thank you for the support of the Yin and Yang family for the king." ”

Donghuang Taiyi "obtains a hexagram from looking at the stars below." ”

Yan Yan: "Your Excellency, please speak. ”

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi "star out of the east, located in the center, the four sides of the universe, all of which are Qin soil. ”

"I can't guess what the first sentence of this hexagram means, so I can only ask Your Excellency to find it yourself."

Yan Yan: "Thank you, Your Excellency. ”

Donghuang Taiyi stretched out his hand, let the stars on the dome begin to change, and explained the origin of this hexagram over and over again.

Yan Yan left the residence of the Yin and Yang family, and he never understood what the Eastern Emperor Taiyi meant by the hexagram.

Back at Liu Yang's mansion, Yan Yan flipped through the books and looked for information, only to find a sentence from the Zhou Dynasty, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

This declaration of the Zhou Dynasty swearing that the four sides of heaven and earth are the territory of the Zhou Dynasty is very similar to the hexagram spoken by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but what does it mean that the stars are out of the east and are in the center.

Yukihime walked in with a tea tray and whispered, "Take a break, I've been watching it for an hour." ”

Yan Yan put down the books in his hand, these were all books that were reprinted and assembled, and they had the shortcomings of too heavy bamboo paper and too expensive cloth.

Yan Yan took a sip of the teacup, and Xue Ji said, "I heard that Rong Yu is going to Sanchuan County again." ”

Yan Yan nodded: "Take Fusu to feel the majesty of the Qin army and the cruelty of the battlefield." ”

Yukihime: "When will I leave?" ”

Yan Yan: "When the jade is born, I will set off." ”

Yan Yan hugged Xue Ji: "It's hard work at home, you continue to take care of it." ”

Yukihime: "I also want to go out to breathe, but I haven't moved for too long, and my body is rusty." ”

Yan Yan: "Let's wait for the beginning of spring, and then take you out for a walk to inspect the military divisions and government affairs of the whole country." ”

Yukihime: "Are you ready to start a war?" ”

"Everything that Yan Yan did in the early stage has been paved for completion, and the next thing is the war of annihilation of all countries. ”

Xue Ji looked up and looked at Yan Yan, who had undergone indescribable changes since she had a child, "You have become more human." ”

Yan Yan: "Yes! ”

Yan Yan didn't think that he had changed, but he was able to suppress the other side more deeply.

Yukihime: "Qingling wants to go with you, too, so take her with you." ”

Yan Yan: "Okay. ”

Yukihime: "Let's rest, I'll check again tomorrow." ”

Half a month after Yan Yan returned to Xianyang, Lang Yu gave birth to a daughter named Yan Yu.

This is Yan Yan's second daughter, and the entire Liu Yang Mansion is very excited, and they all love this little girl very much.

Three-year-old Yan Xue looked at Yan Yu, who was all powdered, gently stroked her little face, and smiled very happily.

At this time, the king of Qi began to set off from Linzi and came towards the Qin State.

Yan Yan took Fusu, Qingling, and Flame Lingji towards Sanchuan County.

Yan Yan's journey was not very full, and along the way, he would take Fusu to the fields, tea stalls, restaurants, and caravans to observe people's livelihood and farming, and began to teach Fusu.

In this way, in the ice and snow, Fusu saw the potatoes and sweet potatoes growing in the land under nature, saw the farmers hunting and trapping, and also saw the caravan going south and north, and the scene of the tea stall ushering in.

When they walked to Hangu Pass, Yan Yan took Fusu to look at the traces of the exchange of swords and soldiers on the Xiongguan of Hangu Pass, telling the history, military affairs, and strategies that happened here.

He still couldn't understand these Fusu, but he still recited it hard at Yan Yan's request.
