I will live forever in the martial arts world

The old capital of Qin State is in Yongcheng, which is where the old Qin people first started. It is not the current Xianyang. The Queen Mother Palace of Queen Mother Zhao Ji is also there, not too far from Xianyang.

Outside Yongcheng is the Dragon Vein Mountain, which is called "Kunlun" today, and was also called Nanshan at that time.

And only Xiang Shaolong knows that these mountains, which stretch for tens of thousands of miles and separate the world, will be called "the Great Qin Dynasty" and the great emperor Ying Zheng in later generations. Qinling”.

The King of Qin was crowned, and according to the ancestral system, he needed to come to his old capital Yongcheng.

The ancestral temples of generations of old Qin kings are also here.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Changping Jun also completely put down Lao Ai's rebellion without any effort at all. Lao Ai's accomplices were completely frightened, so they just arrested and killed them.

All officials, civil and military officials from Xianyang City have also arrived in Yongcheng.

But only Lu Buwei was not seen.

He didn't even come with him.

However, within these ten days, everyone who saw the power displayed by the old man in Xianyang City completely understood that today was just a demonstration for the King of Qin.

He verbally handed over the power to the King of Qin to rule personally.

In fact, through the military parade ceremony after King Qin's coronation, all the ministers and people of Qin can clearly see that he has handed over the power of pro-government to King Qin.

Ying Zheng is still a king in name only.

so,

It doesn't really matter whether he shows up or not.

In fact, it was because Lu Buwei didn't even come that he even lost Ying Zheng's face.

It also gave an invisible hint to the officials of Qin State.

The invisible king of Qin has always been the old man, not Ying Zheng, who is now twenty and can even be crowned as his own.

But what surprised Chang Pingjun the most.

He actually didn't see King Qin's biggest supporter during today's coronation ceremony.

"Where is that Mr. Guigu? If Lu Buwei wants to show everyone his power through the military parade, then why is King Qin's biggest supporter not here today?"

Lord Changping calmed down and thought:

"Is Lu Buwei so powerful? He has even mastered Gui Guzi, who is like an immortal?"

He got at least half of it right.

…

It was also when Yingzheng was holding a coronation ceremony in Yongcheng outside Xianyang and preparing for the next military parade.

In Xianyang City.

On a corner building.

From here, you can see the continuous mountains south of Xianyang from a distance. Today, there are clouds and mist covering there, and seas of clouds rise and fall on the mountains.

Lu Buwei was wearing a big cloak, placed his hands next to a bronze heater, and breathed out, as if he was waiting for someone.

Shortly after.

"Master Xiangbang, Mr. Guigu is here."

Lu Buwei looked up.

I saw a man walking up from downstairs with his hands behind his back. He had a more elegant atmosphere than more than 20 years ago, like a scribe, with lines at the corners of his eyes and white hair on his temples.

Lu Buwei did not get up, but just warmed himself by the fire. His voice was a little bit old, and he said: "Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for many years. Your style is still the same, but I have a head full of white hair."

Jiang Taiyi came here.

He received Lu Buwei's invitation before Zheng'er prepared for Yongcheng.

He came up with his hands behind his hands and glanced at Nanshan Mountain in the distance.

Then he turned his attention to Lu Buwei, looking at the old man who took him to Handan and gave him a wine shop. At the same time, he also sealed the fate of him and his three children, Nie'er, Zheng'er, and Zhuang'er. , people connected together in disguise.

"You are indeed too old."

He sat next to Lu Buwei and looked at the stove:

"It's spring, do you need to warm yourself by the fire?"

"Spring is the hardest."

Lu Buwei slowly exhaled and finished speaking.

He finally looked formally at the man in front of him. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were slightly wrinkled, and he said with a smile:

"Speaking of which, Brother Jiang is really courageous. His Majesty the King of Qin relies on you as his greatest support. The military parade ceremony I prepared for him today should be the place where you need to appear most, but you just because of my words , I came to keep my appointment and did not follow him to Yongcheng."

"Should I regard this as friendship between you and me, or as your courage?"

"We are indeed old friends." Jiang Taiyi took out his flask, poured himself a glass, and said, "But there is a difference between friends and friends. The only friendship between the two of us is that of that shop. For the sake of bond, you welcomed me to Handan, and I sent you to Qin. After that, the bond was gone, the friendship was gone, and we could only be regarded as verbal friends."

"Indeed." Lu Buwei smiled deeply.

Jiang Taiyi drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "Tell me, why did you ask me out?"

Lu Buwei looked at Jiang Taiyi and said, "Are you really not worried about Ying Zheng's situation in Yongcheng at this time?"

Jiang Taiyi said: "Don't worry."

Lu Buwei raised his slightly gray eyebrows with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that the tens of thousands of government agencies I sent will take this opportunity to directly kill Ying Zheng? Then support a new Ying Zheng clan leader. king?"

Jiang Taiyi glanced at Lu Buwei, drank another drink, and said with a slow smile: "Why don't you become the king yourself?"

Lu Buwei smiled faintly: "Today's Great Qin, if I am not the king, what is the difference between me and the king? For more than twenty years, Great Qin has been in my hands and has the power to destroy the six kingdoms."

Mrs. Jiang did not deny it and said slowly: "Your contribution to Qin is indeed not small."

Lu Buwei glanced in the direction of Yongcheng and said, "Actually, the reason why I invited you here today is very simple. Is it to discuss swordsmanship with you, Guiguzi?"

"On swords?" Jiang Taiyi smiled: "How?"

Lu Buwei asked: "Brother Jiang, does he know what a sword is?"

Jiang Taiyi said: "Sword, a kind of weapon."

Lu Buwei smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, does he know Zhuang Zhou?"

Jiang Taiyi drank a glass of wine: "I know, the supreme master of Taoism is almost equal to Lao Tzu. I heard that the ancestors of Lao Tzu and Zhuang are still in this world."

Lu Buwei picked up Jiang Taiyi's wine bottle and poured himself a glass. He smiled and said, "Zhuangzi is a person I admire. It's a pity that I searched hundreds of houses and couldn't see this dragon." He is a Taoist master, but he is very familiar with his knowledge and works. In the "Miscellaneous Chapters" written by Zhuangzi, there is an article called "Shuo Jian", has Brother Jiang ever heard of it?"

Jiang Taiyi glanced at Lu Buwei, who took away his flask and poured wine without anyone noticing, and said with a smile: "I would like to hear the details."

Lu Buwei said: "King Zhao Wen of Zhao Kingdom several generations ago liked swordsmen, especially masters with excellent swordsmanship. He spent all day with swordsmen and ignored the government affairs. So Prince Zhao invited Zhuangzi to persuade King Zhao Wen. "

Jiang Taiyi's eyes flashed and he said, "Then what?"

Lu Buwei eloquently said: "After King Zhao Wen saw Zhuangzi, he asked him how his swordsmanship was? Zhuangzi replied: His swordsmanship can kill a person in ten steps and leave no trace for a thousand miles. I dare to ask Brother Jiang, what is Zhuangzi's swordsmanship?"

Jiang Taiyi smiled lightly and said: "One person takes ten steps and leaves no trace for thousands of miles, which is not the case for a great master."

Lu Buwei said: "King Zhao Wen also said the same. He was overjoyed when he heard this and praised Zhuangzi as 'the invincible sword in the world'. Brother Jiang, does he know what Zhuangzi said?"

Jiang Taiyi drinks.

Lu Buwei asked and answered his own questions, and said slowly: "Zhuangzi said: He actually has three swords on his body, and this is just his worst sword. King Zhao Wen was shocked and asked what other swords he had?"

Jiang Taiyi waited quietly for Lu Buwei to finish.

Lu Buwei stood up and looked at the mountains, rivers and land outside. The vicissitudes of his voice became distant, powerful and heroic, and he said:

"Zhuangzi said: There are three kinds of swords!"

"The emperor's sword! The princes' sword! The common people's sword!"

"The sword of the common people is what he just said, the sword that can kill one person in ten steps. The sword of the common people, the struggle of spirits, the face will be red and the ears are red, the sword will be drawn in anger and fight, the neck will be cut off, the liver and lungs will be cut, and the cockfight will be fought. It's no different. After fighting to the death, it's all over and it's meaningless."

"The swords of princes are completely different. This sword uses wise warriors as its front, honest people as its harpoon, virtuous people as its backbone, loyal saints as its bar, and heroic people as its clamp. Once used, this sword is like the shock of thunder. , within the four seals, everyone is submissive and obedient to you."

Speaking of which.

Lu Buwei paused:

"But it's not the best sword yet!"

Jiang Taiyi listened quietly.

Lu Buwei glanced sideways at Jiang Taiyi and suddenly said excitedly: "The best sword is the emperor's sword, with Yanxi and Shicheng as the front, Qi Dai as the e, Jin and Wei as the spine, Zhou and Song as the tann, and Han and Wei as the cylindrical. It is wrapped by the four barbarians, wrapped by the four seasons, surrounded by the Bohai Sea, brought by the Changshan Mountains, and controlled by the five elements. It is opened by yin and yang, held by spring and summer, and moved by autumn and winter."

"Once this sword is used, it will bring order to the princes and the whole world will obey."

"it's for……"

"The Sword of the Emperor!"

He finished in one breath.

He looked at Jiang Taiyi again and said, "Brother Jiang, do you know what these words mean?"

Jiang Taiyi smiled lightly and said: "I just didn't directly say that Zheng'er is the King Zhao Wen, and I am the inferior swordsman."

Lu Buwei said lightly: "Isn't it? I know that Brother Jiang has the power to reach heaven, but so what. The power of Zhuangzi is also the power of heaven and man, and it is just one person. Brother Jiang, you are only one person after all. The power No matter how strong or tall he is, he cannot help Qin to dominate the world."

"But the sword on my body is different. I win over talents. I recruit hundreds of families. I build water conservancy and roads for the Qin State. I reuse the followers of the Seven Kingdoms and the public losers. Only then can the Qin army's combat power be greatly improved. The overbearing mechanism that has been multiplied a hundred times is a creation of tens of thousands of machines that don’t know how to live or die."

"Only these things can make King Qin the sword of the emperor!"

"Not the one you have on you, Brother Jiang!"

The more Lu Buwei talked, the more excited he became. He almost got in front of Jiang Taiyi, his beard flying, and he said loudly:

"No matter how high your strength is, no matter how powerful you are, at most you can only act like an assassin to assassinate the king. There are many kings from the seven kingdoms who can't be killed. Only I can help Qin with the sword of the emperor." , and destroy their country too!!”

"I'm doing this all for Qin!!!"
