As Great Si Ming's cold and terrifying gaze swept across everyone from left to right, the surroundings instantly fell silent. The chivalrous swordsmen who had joined in the fun earlier all shut their mouths and felt a chill run down their spines.
His gaze was a little scary, as if he was looking at a dead person. Thinking about the style of the Yin-Yang School, he decided to shut up first. They knew a thing or two about the principle that trouble came from the mouth.
When the surroundings were completely silent, Great Si Ming stared at the man in the white cloak coldly and said,""Sir, you are being unreasonable and treating the Yin-Yang School as nothing. Do you want to make enemies with the Yin-Yang School?”
"Yin-Yang School, what a big name."
Jiang Li chuckled and walked up to Great Si Ming. He walked around her and commented in a low voice,""Young lady, not only are you beautiful and have a good figure, but you also have a charming fragrance. This Jiang fell in love with you at first sight. If you can call me brother instead of sir, this Jiang will definitely change his path.”
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, the air began to vibrate. Great Si Ming smiled, like a poisonous red rose. She raised her blood-red palm, and streaks of red Yin and Yang Qi swirled between her fingers. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and the cold wind blew, making people's hair stand on end.
This was a sign that they were about to make a move!
Comparing the strength of both sides, Jiang Li felt that Great Si Ming was probably no match for him. Therefore, he commented calmly,""Not only is Young Lady beautiful, but even her Yin Yang Art is also so outstanding. May I ask what kind of spell Young Lady is using? Is it the Skeleton Blood Palm, the Yin Yang Qi Hand, or the Six Soul Fear Curse?”
These words made Great Si Ming frown slightly. She put away the contempt in her heart and became more alert.
The Skull Blood Palm, Yin-Yang Fusion Hand, and Six Soul Terror Curse were her famous Yin-Yang techniques, but the bamboo hat man in front of her had pointed them out. It was obvious that he knew her, knew her name, or had interacted with her before. They were enemies and not friends.
"Miss, I have to remind you that this is Xianyang City. If you act rashly, you will be wanted by the Internal Affairs Office.”Jiang Li continued to speak. He reminded her with good intentions without any intention of teasing her.
The Internal History Office was the government of Xianyang City. The position of the Internal History Office was equivalent to the future capital office, and it was responsible for governing the capital of Qin State.
After dispersing the fiery red Yin and Yang Qi between his fingers, Great Si Ming coldly looked at the man in the bamboo hat and warned,""Don't think that the Yin-Yang School won't dare to make a move just because this is Xianyang City.”
"Miss, you must have misunderstood me.”
Jiang Li took a step forward and explained carefully,""I heard that a high-ranking official of the Yin-Yang School has just arrived in Xianyang, and the Eastern Monarch Yueshen of the Yin-Yang School is a friend of mine.”
Great Si Ming's expression was cold as he warned again,""If you don't move away, you might lose your life.”
"Oh!" Jiang Li was surprised and prepared to play with Great Si Ming to deepen his proficiency.
Just as he was about to speak, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar. Hundreds of black-armored soldiers trotted over in an orderly manner. The leader was actually the internal history of Qin, Cai Ze.
Cai Ze was originally an adult of the Yan Kingdom. He was eloquent and intelligent, and was deeply influenced by the Taoist ideology of the moon's full decline.
Many years ago, he had told Qin Minister Fan Ju the principle of cooking a dog after the death of a crafty rabbit, causing Fan Ju to retire successfully. Later, he was recommended by Fan Ju to King Zhao Xiang to become the Prime Minister of Qin.
A few months later, Cai Ze actually resigned from his position as prime minister and settled down in Qin as a minor official. He had served in the four dynasties from King Xiaowen to Qin Shihuang, protecting himself in the chaotic times.
Cai Ze had once offered a plan to King Zhaoxiang of Qin to sow discord between King Anli of Wei and Lord Xinling, causing Qin to destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Later, he was granted the title of Lord Gang Cheng by King Zhaoxiang.
This person was very capable, but he was a Buddhist. He was inclined to the Taoist way of standing aloof from worldly affairs and focused on the idea of retiring after success. He was known as a good person and would not offend anyone. Therefore, Lu Buwei asked Cai Ze to take the position of internal history to manage Xianyang City.
Xianyang was the capital, and there were many high officials and marquises. Only Cai Ze had the prestige to convince the public and did not side with anyone.
In just a moment, the white-bearded and silver-haired Gang Chengjun, Cai Ze, arrived at the scene with hundreds of people in his official uniform.
The invasion of the Yin-Yang School into the Qin Empire was a major event. The Qin Empire needed this force badly. When Cai Ze heard that someone was blocking the carriage of the higher-ups of the Yin-Yang School, he quickly brought people over to see who was causing trouble in Xianyang City again.
"Yin-Yang School's Great Si Ming greets Gang Cheng-Jun!”
A cold voice rang out. Great Si Ming greeted him first, but he didn't bow.
The silver-haired Cai Ze first smiled kindly, then turned to look at the bamboo hat man and said with a stern face,"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble for no reason and blocking her carriage on the street?”
Since the good man Gang Chengjun had arrived, Jiang Li couldn't continue pretending. He took off his bamboo hat and cupped his hands in salute. He smiled and said," Jiang Li greets Gang Chengjun!"
"Mr. Li?"
Cai Ze was stunned. He had racked his brain, but he never expected that the person who had intercepted the carriage of the Yinyang School's high-ranking officials on the street would be Jiang Li.
Although Jiang Li was a noble from the State of Zhao, his uncle was Zhao Gao, the empress dowager's most trusted subordinate. He was also the Saint of Paintings and the Immortal of Poem, famous throughout the seven kingdoms. He had a great reputation and influence.
More importantly, he had heard rumors in the past two days that Jiang Li had been visiting Ganquan Palace every day through Zhao Gao's recommendation. He had gotten close to the Empress Dowager and would probably enter the imperial court in a few days. He would take up an important position and become a core member of the Empress Dowager's faction.
At this moment, Great Si Ming was also in a daze. She did not expect the man in the bamboo hat to be Jiang Li. She did not have much contact with Jiang Li, but the Eastern Monarch and the Moon Goddess in the carriage behind her knew Jiang Li. She did not know how their relationship was, but at least they knew each other.
Cai Ze was the first to react. He stroked his white beard and smiled bitterly."Mr. Li, what do you mean? Why are you blocking the carriage of the Yin-Yang School?”
"Lord Cai, this is a complete misunderstanding." Jiang Li explained with a smile," I heard that some higher-ups of the Yin-Yang School have just arrived in Xianyang. I'm friends with the Eastern Monarch and Moon Goddess of the Yin-Yang School. I wanted to be the host and welcome them. So, I made a small joke."”
Hearing this, Cai Ze secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't a conflict. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him. It was best to resolve it peacefully.
After that, Cai Ze didn't stay for long and led his men back to the Internal Affairs Office.
As soon as Cai Ze left, Great Si Ming glanced at Jiang Li and turned to leave without even saying goodbye.
Jiang Li was thick-skinned. He kept up with Great Si Ming and said,""Don't be so cold. Mr. Li is a friend of Dongjun and Yueshen, so you should be nice. Otherwise, if they snitch on you, they'll make things difficult for you.”
" Stay away from me." Great Si Ming stopped and warned coldly." You should know what the Six Soul Fear Curse is."”
Jiang Li smiled." Mr. Li, you're not scared. It's just a Six Soul Fear Curse. It's nothing."”
Great Si Ming stared at him for a few seconds, then raised his hand to block his way and asked coldly,""Why are you following me?”
"What do you mean by following you?" " What?" Jiang Li was confused and surprised." Did you build this road and only you can walk it?"”
" You..." Great Si Ming's breathing quickened, and anger rushed to his heart.
Since he couldn't win against this person, Great Si Ming ignored him and walked towards the carriage alone.
Jiang Li followed behind her slowly. He kept glancing at Great Si Ming's graceful back, trying to see how beautiful and spectacular the scenery was under her dress. He wanted to see if she could compete with Sister Ji and whose figure was better.
Outside the carriage, Great Si Ming suddenly turned around and said,""What, you still want to follow me into the carriage?”
"Of course. If a friend comes from afar, we need to meet and greet him to relieve the pain of missing him.”Jiang Li answered.
"Great Si Ming, please get on the carriage, Mister Li.”
An elegant and melodious voice came from the carriage. It was Monarch Yan Fei speaking.
Hearing the order, Great Si Ming was surprised and invited him unwillingly,""Please!"
Ignoring Great Si Ming's unhappy expression, Jiang Li boarded the luxurious carriage and lifted the curtain. Three different fragrances entered his nose first, making him feel relaxed and happy.
Looking inside, the carriage was very spacious and covered with a silk carpet. Concubine Yan and Yueshen were kneeling opposite each other. There were tea tables in front of them with teacups placed on them.
"Mr. Li, please sit!"
Concubine Yan smiled faintly and raised her sleeves, gesturing.
As someone who was very familiar with others, Jiang Li did not stand out at all. He took the seat of Great Si Ming as soon as he entered the carriage. However, he was not used to kneeling down. Instead, he sat cross-legged.
When Great Si Ming came in, his face turned ugly, and he could only kneel down beside Yueshen.
Looking at Great Si Ming's expression, which showed that she owed him money, Jiang Li decided to anger her first. After all, they would not know each other if they were not angry, and they would not love each other if they were not angry. It was because of this that Mr. Li knew this very well.
Therefore, Jiang Li slowly picked up the teacup on the tea table. There was half a cup of tea in it. There was no doubt that it was Great Si Ming's teacup. She had been sitting in this position before.
Under Great Si Ming's murderous gaze, Jiang Li moved very slowly. He looked at Great Si Ming and put the teacup in his mouth, savoring it carefully. He winked at her and said clearly," Don't stare at me. Mr. Li knows this is your teacup, but I want to drink it."
Seeing that Great Si Ming was about to explode in anger, Jiang Li was shocked. He put down his teacup and asked apologetically,""Uh…whose teacup is this? I was thirsty for a moment.”
Boom!
Great Si Ming couldn't take it anymore. He raised his hand and struck out a palm. A bright red palm print formed by Yin and Yang Qi tore through the air.
"Lord Dongjun, save me…"
Jiang Li shouted. He did not dodge or retreat. He looked straight at the bright palm print that was coming at him.
Swoosh!
Concubine Yan put her hands together and performed a spell with her fingers. A pale golden circular light screen appeared in front of Jiang Li like a Taiji Diagram, sucking the red palm print into it and dissolving it.
Great Si Ming didn't lose her temper. She looked at the tea table in front of her with her beautiful eyes, not looking at that shameless man.
The Yin-Yang School had a strict hierarchy, and Dongjun was the second leader, one level higher than Yueshen, the Right Protector. Usually, when Donghuang was in seclusion, Dongjun was in charge of the Yin-Yang School.
The small disturbance was over, and the carriage became quiet. None of the four spoke. Concubine Yan was looking at the curtain, Yueshen was looking at the window on the opposite side, and Great Si Ming was looking at the tea table. Jiang Li's eyes were wandering around the three of them.
Back then, when he met Lady Yan and Moon Goddess, the two plastic sisters who loved each other and hated each other, at the border of the State of Qin, Jiang Li immediately expressed his willingness to join the Yin-Yang School. Then, he addressed Lady Yan as Lord Dongjun. He wanted to be recommended by her to infiltrate the enemy and become a high-level spy to capture his fellow disciples.
Unfortunately, Concubine Yan said that he was too old and had missed the best time to cultivate. It was unlikely that he would become a high-ranking official if he joined the Yin-Yang School. After a while, Jiang Li finally got used to calling him Lord of the East.
