The bright moon dominated the world during the Qin Dynasty

Xianyang, Qin Palace.

"Your Majesty, you have indeed completed your recent studies well."

Lu Buwei sat under King Qin, looked at the bamboo slips on the table, and nodded.

In the palace, all the people were like statues, submissive and did not dare to say a word.

"Father Zhong is still interested in teaching me my lessons. I think he already has a plan in mind to deal with the six countries."

The young King Qin put down the bamboo slips in his hand and smiled softly.

"It's not necessarily true that we have everything in mind, but the Six Kingdoms can't enter Hangu Pass."

Lu Buwei is very sure about this. Because history has proven this many times.

Qin had four fortresses, the most important of which was Hangu Pass. Because it is not only the stronghold of the Qin army's eastward march, but also the last and most powerful barrier against Shandong forces.

The rest such as Wuguan, Xiaoguan and Sanguan, the strategic status of these passes is not as important as Hangu Pass.

Because the forces that these three sub-passes faced that could threaten the Qin State had been eliminated one by one by the Qin army for more than a hundred years.

The only major enemy of Qin State now is the forces of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. The alliance of the six kingdoms can threaten the heart of Qin.

"Since ancient times, the number of generals who have been able to break through Hangu Pass can't even be counted. The most dangerous time for Qin has long passed."

Lu Buwei spoke slowly, but unexpectedly King Qin took over the conversation.

"More than two hundred years ago, Wu Qi was in Wei, training soldiers to guard Xihe. It was indeed the most dangerous moment for our Qin country."

The Wei State was the overlord of the Warring States Period. When it was most powerful, it established its capital in Anyi, Hedong Province, and competed with the Qin State in the Pass. In the battle between Yin and Jin, Wu Qi defeated the Qin army, and Qin was almost in danger of subjugation.

However, Wei made a strategic mistake at that time. It moved its strategic focus eastward and established its capital in Daliang to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains instead of marching into Guanzhong.

The Central Plains is prosperous, and Daliang is a strong city in the world, but after all, it is a place surrounded by enemies.

This is also one of the reasons why Wei State was attacked by the alliance of Qin and Qi and gradually declined.

"But Wu Qi also said: The strength of mountains and rivers lies in virtue rather than danger."

Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes and looked at King Qin, the King of Qin whom he planned and supported.

"What does your Majesty mean by this?"

"I just want to remind Father Zhong that it is indeed a good strategy to use the greedy and despicable nature of King Yan to make Zhao and Yan attack each other, and then send Meng Ao's army eastward to capture the twenty cities of Wei. But this will also make the six countries Be careful, I, the Qin Dynasty, have the intention to swallow up the six countries."

Lu Buwei was stunned and suddenly woke up. He had never noticed what King Qin said before.

"But our Great Qin certainly has the intention to swallow up the Six Kingdoms, but at this time, it has not yet been able to swallow up the Six Kingdoms. Among the Six Kingdoms, heroes are always there. Otherwise, just because Pang Nuan is an octogenarian, he is an old minister of King Wuling of Zhao, and he is highly respected. , and it is not enough to set off such a huge anti-Qin trend among the six kingdoms of Shandong."

"In comparison, twenty cities are nothing more than a small profit."

Lu Buwei stood up, adjusted his clothes, walked to the center of the palace, and bowed to King Qin.

"I will be taught."

The palace door closed slowly, and Lu Buwei stood on the long road outside the palace door, silent for a long time.

Li Si followed behind him, also like a statue, without saying a word.

It started to rain lightly and sparsely, but Lu Buwei still stood there.

The servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion brought an umbrella, and Li Si took it and held it up for Lu Buwei.

“The strength of mountains and rivers lies in virtue rather than danger.”

Lu Buwei murmured these words and turned to look at Li Si.

"Li Si, the king seems to have unfinished meaning in his words."

Lu Buwei was asking Li Si, but Li Si kept his head down the whole time. Because even Li Si could guess one or two of them, but he couldn't answer directly.

"The king is young and still needs support from the prime minister in many places."

Lu Buwei was convinced, touched his beard, and looked behind him at the glorious palace city filled with rain.

"Indeed! Without me, Lu Buwei, the position of the king would not be secure."

Yin Yang family.

"Sister failed?"

Dongjun came back from Weidi and brought news that the mission had failed.

If an ordinary Yin Yang disciple fails in a mission, he will naturally not be able to bear a punishment. But Concubine Yan's identity is there. Now that Donghuang Taiyi is in seclusion, there is no one in the entire Yin and Yang family who can punish her.

After Dongjun came back, he didn't care about anything and went into seclusion first.

Moon God was a little surprised. A few days ago, they were in seclusion at the same time, practicing Yin and Yang techniques, and Concubine Yan came out of seclusion before her.

When the moon god came out of seclusion, he learned the news about Concubine Yan's mission.

But now, the Moon God inspected the records related to Concubine Yan's mission, but only recorded a few entries.

Dongjun sent an envoy to Dongjun, but found nothing!

Moon God is a little strange. With Yan Fei's ability, even if Li Ji is not found, there shouldn't be any clues.

Luna continued to search in the archives and books for what happened in the Central Plains in recent months.

Anecdotes from the rivers and lakes, wars in various countries, and changes in the power of various sects and sects are all recorded here.

However, given the size of the world, except for some anecdotes and secrets that the Yin Yang family is particularly concerned about, all that can be recorded here are major events.

The documents of the Yin Yang family were recorded according to the year and month. The moon god searched among them and found a record.

Qin set up Dongjun and guarded the territory. Zhao General Shuang met the Qin army in the west of Puyang and beheaded five thousand people.

Zhao Shuang?

Moon God compared the specific time of the Qin-Zhao War and Dongjun's mission, and they found that they were almost the same.

This is interesting.

Luna smiled, left the archives, and turned around to go to the Gold Department.

A huge alchemy furnace was placed in the center. Before the Moon God entered the room, a thick smoke rushed out.

Moon God covered his mouth and nose, and saw Yun Zhongjun running out. It seemed that he couldn't stand the thick smoke.

"I wanted to refine the immortal elixir, but I didn't expect that the heat was wrong. It made Lord Moon God laugh."

"Real Man Pill?" Moon God smiled, thoughtfully, "A few days ago, Dongjun went to Weidi, what was the purpose?"

"A few days ago, the sect received information. It is rumored that Li Ji, the most beautiful woman in the Wei Kingdom, may be related to the secret of Canglong Qisu. Lord Dongjun went to investigate, but found nothing."

"Where is Li Ji?"

"According to the intelligence, she temporarily lives in the mountains and forests in the northwest of Weiguo for some unknown reason. However, Lord Dongjun went to look for her, but there was no news. I am afraid that the intelligence is wrong."

Northwest of Weiguo?

That's where Zhao Shuang's troops are stationed!

For a moment, Luna felt a sense of understanding in her heart.

My sister must have suffered under Zhao Shuang, and she was afraid of being embarrassed if she mentioned it, so she threatened to find nothing.

Hum!

"In this case, I may be able to gain something by going to Wei Di again."

"Then it's up to you, Lord Luna!"

Yun Zhongjun knew that the two sisters were competing with each other, so he handed them over without thinking too much.

Seeing the Moon God leave, Yun Zhongjun stopped staying and ordered the boy to empty the dregs of the medicine in the alchemy furnace and prepare to make the elixir again, muttering in his mouth.

"If this person isn't there and can't be found once, can we just come back again?"
