The white banner of Xianyang City had just been removed for three days before it was hung up again. This sudden bad news not only stunned the various nobles and ministers of the Qin country, but even the various dukes were somewhat surprised.
As such, they once again sent envoys to offer their condolences and to investigate the situation of Great Qin. King Zhaoxiang of Qin had suppressed the vassals for so many years, and the strength of Qin was prosperous. However, after King Zhaoxiang and King Xiaowen died one after another, would Qin be in chaos?
Alright, to put it bluntly, the dukes wanted to take advantage of him and take back the land that was taken away by the Qin State during the reign of Prince Zhao.
In Zhao Mu's mansion, he was sitting cross-legged on his bed. He had already completed the task of helping Ying Zichu ascend the throne, so he didn't need to participate in the rest. Therefore, he spent his time improving his own strength.
Although the Purple Clouds Secret Manual was considered a first-class Internal Strength, and he had accumulated a strong Internal Strength after ten years of hard work, it was still a little weak. Now that he had the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Zhao Mu naturally wanted to switch to the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
The Nine Yang Divine Technique was a martial art from the Nine Yang True Scripture. This technique was a combination of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, combining hardness and softness. After mastering the Nine Yang Divine Technique, his inner energy would generate itself at an extremely fast speed. It would be endless, and he would be able to unleash great offensive power with ordinary punches and kicks.
Its defense was unrivaled, and its automatic body fortification function reflected external attacks, making it an indestructible body. The movement technique of the practitioner is better than all the exquisite experts in the world. It was also a healing scripture that was immune to all poisons and specialized in breaking all cold and negative inner strength.
Moreover, the Nine Yang Scripture Collection was a comprehensive collection of martial arts, so after mastering it, it could be used by all martial arts in the world. This technique also included the Bone Shrinking Technique, Wall Swimming Technique, and other martial arts.
Zhao Mu had a strong foundation of internal energy, so it was naturally easy for him to practice the Nine Yang Divine Technique. However, when he reached the final stage of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, he had to endure the pain of burning himself up or get the guidance of a famous teacher to open up all the hundreds of acupoints in his body. Only then could he truly practice the Nine Yang Divine Technique.
Otherwise, he would only accumulate Nine Yang inner strength and not use it. The inner strength would not circulate endlessly, and after an intense battle, it would be easy to die from exhaustion, just like Master Jue Yuan.
At this moment, Zhao Mu was suffering from such pain. His expression was distorted, and it was as if there was a ball of flame continuously expanding and burning within his body. It made him wish he could commit suicide immediately.
However, his firm will made him persevere. As long as he endured, he would be able to reach the heavens.
Time slowly passed. Every minute and every second felt so long to Zhao Mu. Suddenly, a dark blue figure flashed past his eyes. It was Lady Yan. Lady Yan looked at Zhao Mu's painful expression.
She was a little anxious. She could see that Zhao Mu was practicing a supreme divine art. Just from the aura that Zhao Mu revealed, she could sense the power of this martial art.
But because of this, she did not know how to help Zhao Mu.
"Open. Acupoints. Dao."
Although Zhao Mu's eyes were still closed, he could already smell the familiar fragrance of Lady Yan's body. He shouted with all his might. Lady Yan immediately sat behind him and activated her true energy to help Zhao Mu open all the acupoints on his body.
With Concubine Yan's help, Zhao Mu felt much more relaxed. He mobilized his Genuine Qi and cooperated with Concubine Yan. The two of them were like fish in water. They had a tacit understanding and made rapid progress.
Very soon, Zhao Mu had overcome the greatest obstacle of the Nine Yang Divine Technique and had also cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Technique to great success.
Whoosh!
Zhao Mu opened his mouth and exhaled, his breath forming an arrow that stretched for a foot, showing his current deep inner strength.
He raised his arm and felt that he had the strength of 1,000 pounds when he raised his hand. His strength was endless, and the true qi in his body circulated naturally. His speed was much faster, and the accumulated internal strength was also much deeper.
Fortunately, it was the Nine Yang Divine Skill, so he could directly use the internal energy of the Purple Cloud Secret Manual to cultivate. If it was other internal energy, such as the Tendon Changing Classic of Shaolin Temple or the Northern Dark Divine Skill, he would have to first destroy his internal energy, which would be troublesome.
He turned around and saw Lady Yan sitting cross-legged behind him. Her face was slightly red, and her forehead and nose were covered in sweat. It was obvious that she had used up a lot of her Genuine Qi to help him open his acupoints.
Zhao Mu reached out his hand and gently wiped away Concubine Yan's sweat.
"Thank you very much."
Concubine Yan's cheeks turned even redder. She got up and got off the bed,""We are allies, of course we have to help you.”
.......
In Zhangtai Palace, a white banner was fluttering in the wind. Ying Zichu was kneeling on the ground, perfectly expressing the sorrow that a filial son should have.
"Your Majesty, Xiang Shou has been brought here. He wants to see Your Majesty. He said that the green beauty was obtained from Lord Lu.”Wang Jian went forward and asked. Lu Buwei was Ying Zichu's teacher, so Wang Jian naturally wouldn't rashly offend him.
"It's not too much to execute such a sinner's entire family," Ying Zichu said coldly. Mr. Lu had only given his concubine to him, but he had actually given it to the former king in an attempt to gain the former king's favor. He was truly a crafty minister. His entire family should be executed.”
"Yes!"
Wang Jian retreated. Xiang Shou was finished. This minister who relied on his relationship with Prince Zhao to obtain a high position would die a tragic death today.
But he didn't feel much sorrow. As a general, killing people was something he had seen too many times.
Zhao Mu looked at Xiang Shou, who was crying as he was pushed out, with an indifferent expression on his face. Beside him, Ying Zheng, who had already passed his ninth birthday, looked at Xiang Shou with an expression of pity, but he was still determined. His teacher had told him that politics was cruel, and if he lost, he would probably end up like this.
As he thought about it, he looked at a child who was about the same age as him. That child was called Cheng Qiao, his younger brother, and also his only competitor for the crown prince position.
According to tradition, if Ying Zichu wanted to officially become the Emperor, he would have to mourn for a year. During this year, Great Qin's strategy would shift from offense to defense. In the eyes of the vassals, this was an opportunity for them to take advantage of.
In 249 B.C., in the first year of King Zhuang Xiang of Qin, Duke Wen of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty gathered the armies of the vassals and attacked the Qin State westward while the Qin State was in mourning.
(As for Concubine Yan's age, I had originally calculated it according to Crown Prince Yan's, because I did not find the ages of the Yin-Yang School people. Crown Prince Dan was only older than Ying Zheng, and the history books did not record when Crown Prince Dan was born. However, Crown Prince Dan and Ying Zheng were friends when they were in Zhao, and Ying Zheng was born in Zhao, and he was only eight years old when he left. At that time, Crown Prince Dan was already a hostage in Zhao. If he was a hostage, he should be slightly older, but there was a limit.) However, the masters felt that it didn't fit, so I changed it to twelve years old. That's about right. After all, I wanted to let Concubine Yan appear earlier. As for the question of maturity, I don't have to worry about it. According to some of the masters 'calculations, the snow maidens were only eleven years old when they performed at the Fei Xue Pavilion. I wonder if the master's calculations were wrong. I'll try my best not to go against the rules. If you think there's a problem, just say it in the book review section. You can change it within 24 hours.）
