The next day, Yun Xiao sat on the Moon Goddess's carriage and followed the Moon Goddess to meet the King of Qin.
When they arrived at Xianyang Palace, Xing Hun was already waiting there. Although Yueshen and Xing Hun were both the left and right guardians of the Yin-Yang School, it was inevitable that there would be some competition. However, the Yin-Yang School still worked together to deal with the outside world.
Xianyang Palace was majestic and solemn. There was a sentry post every three steps and a sentry post every five steps. The security was even tighter.
In the main hall, Li Si was discussing," The Hundred Schools of Thought have always bewitched the people with their own theories. Although the Great Qin Empire has millions of soldiers and the best weapons in the world, the Hundred Schools of Thought have had a profound influence since the Spring and Autumn Period. From the officials to the soldiers and the people, there are believers and disciples of the Hundred Schools of Thought. If we continue to allow them to spread their theories, it will inevitably place their teachings above the laws of the empire.”
A cold light flashed in the king's eyes as he said,"Wang Jian, Meng Tian, tell me your thoughts."”
Meng Tian was born with a strong back and a strong waist. He was an extraordinary warrior and was the young general that the King of Qin trusted the most. Meng Tian said," I agree with what the Prime Minister said. I am willing to take the lead to eliminate all the factors that are detrimental to the Empire.”
Raising his head, he saw Yueshen and Xing Hun walking in.
" Yin Yang School's Moon Goddess and Xing Hun pay their respects to Your Majesty." Moon Goddess and Xing Hun walked to the imperial table and pretended to squat. Yun Xiao followed closely behind and performed a Daoist salute. It's better not to kowtow!
"Yueshen and Xing Hun, please excuse us.”Ying Zheng smiled. Yun Xiao raised his head and glanced at Ying Zheng." Is this the person that the two Imperial Preceptor introduced to me today?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
Yueshen looked at Yun Xiao who was standing behind her and laughed." Your Majesty, this is the Son of the Yin-Yang School. He has always traveled the world and is very talented. Yueshen would like to ask him to offer advice to Your Majesty."”
" Oh," Ying Zheng glanced at Yun Xiao and felt that Yun Xiao was extraordinarily handsome and had the good name of a scholarly gentleman, so he responded without any comment.
Xing Hun, who was standing at the side, also stepped forward and said," Your talent in martial arts is rare in the world. Xing Hun is ashamed of his inferiority. In the Yin Yang School, the Moon God Imperial Preceptor and I have always followed your lead.”
When they heard that Yueshen and Xing Hun, the two most trusted Imperial Advisors of the Great Qin Empire, were praising them so highly, both Li Si and Meng Tian were shocked. These two Imperial Advisors were deeply favored by the Great Qin Empire. Yueshen was proficient in the Heavenly Star Secret Art, and Xing Hun was a rare martial arts expert. Even Li Si and General Meng Tian, who were prime ministers, did not dare to slight one of them. How impressive was it to be ranked above the Yin-Yang School? Moreover, he looked like a young swordsman.
Ying Zheng's eyes sparkled, and only now did he turn his gaze to Yun Xiao. He felt that this young man was free and easy, and his temperament was noble. Even in the most solemn palace in the world, Xianyang Palace, he still had a transcendent and noble appearance.
Seeing Yun Xiao enter the palace with a long sword, Ying Zheng immediately frowned in displeasure. Ying Zheng was the most suspicious person. Even though the security of Xianyang Palace was extremely tight, Ying Zheng had already made a law that the nobles and ministers of the court were not allowed to bring weapons and armors into the palace.
As if he had sensed the change in Ying Zheng's expression, a tall swordsman dressed in white walked out from the shadows of the plan and followed closely behind Ying Zheng. His handsome face was expressionless, and his sharp eyes swept across Yun Xiao indifferently, his gaze seeming to contain a substantial sword intent.
Yueshen thought to herself," This is bad." She seemed to have forgotten to remind Yun Xiao to put down the ancient sword and meet the King of Qin. Xing Hun, who was standing at the side, also frowned slightly and looked at the tall figure with a blank expression.
Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, Yun Xiao looked at everyone, including Prime Minister Li Si, who were all staring at the sword in his hand with bright eyes. He thought to himself,'Oh no, I should have thought of this earlier.'
His expression did not change, but his mind was spinning.
He bowed slightly to Ying Zheng and performed a respectful Daoist ritual. His expression remained unchanged, and he gave a reassuring look to the Moon Goddess and Xing Hun, who were concerned about him.
He smiled and said," Your Majesty rules over the four seas and the nine provinces. I am just an ordinary swordsman in the mortal world. I only have some special reasons for carrying a long sword with me today. I would never dare to do what Jing Ke did.”
Upon hearing Yun Xiao's words, Yueshen, Li Si, Meng Tian and the others felt their hearts turn cold. They thought to themselves,'You're really bringing up a sore spot. Although Ge Nie, the first guard of the Emperor, killed Jing Ke in time, it still left a lingering shadow in Ying Zheng's heart. Later, when the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, the mastermind, Prince Dan of Yan, was brutally killed. It was because Ying Zheng forced the King of Yan to kill his son, which was extremely vicious.'
Hearing Jing Ke's name, the white-robed figure's pupils constricted. Ying Zheng gave a noncommittal " hmm " and continued to look at Yun Xiao. Not only him, but everyone in the hall was also looking at Yun Xiao. If Yun Xiao did not have a reason to convince the King of Qin, the consequences would be obvious.
Yun Xiao was not in a hurry and slowly said," In the eyes of His Majesty, it may be a sharp sword." Yun Xiao raised the sword in his hand and said to Ying Zheng," But in the hands of others, it is not a sword, but just an ornament."”
Yueshen had some understanding of Yun Xiao, the Holy Son. After hearing this, her eyes lit up and she already knew how Yun Xiao would respond. On the contrary, everyone, including Xing Hun, turned their gazes to the sword. Although this sword appeared desolate and ancient, it still carried an indescribable nobility. No matter how they looked at it, it was still a sword. They looked at Yun Xiao with puzzled eyes, waiting for his explanation.
"Your Majesty, before I explain it to you, please allow me to ask the swordsman beside you to come out for me. At that time, everyone will know my intention.”Yun Xiao said to Ying Zheng, then turned his gaze to the man in white. It was Ge Nie, the Sword Saint in Jianghu, the current number one swordsman of the State of Qin, and also the captain of Ying Zheng's guards.
Ying Zheng seemed to be a little interested as well.”
Ge Nia replied coldly,"Yes, Your Majesty."”He walked down the hall and came before Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao handed the sword to Ge Nia and smiled." A sword is a sharp weapon, but if the sword is not unsheathed, it naturally cannot be considered a sharp weapon. Please, Mister Gai."”
"Do you want me to draw my sword?" Ge Nia's voice was cold and indifferent, filled with the coldness of a swordsman.
Yun Xiao did not answer immediately, but turned around and said to Ying Zheng," Your Majesty, if this Mister Gai cannot pull out this sword, can you forgive my rudeness?"”
Hearing this, everyone sighed and shook their heads. They knew the background of Mister Gai, who was by Ying Zheng's side. Was there any sword in this world that he couldn't pull out? The Moon Goddess was quite calm and didn't seem worried at all. Although Xing Hun didn't know Yun Xiao's intention, he knew that there was a lot to be learned from Yun Xiao, the Yin Yang Saint Son, so he didn't express his opinion.
