The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 75
The last scene Li Mu saw in his dream was of an old man who was dying of illness and seemed to be about to die.He struggled to pick up his pen and wrote on something like cloth: "Shi'er."

"When you die, you know everything is empty, but you don't see Kyushu in sorrow."

"Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and the family sacrifices will never forget to tell Nai Weng."

When Li Mu woke up, he looked at Ji Ran and asked in confusion: "Sir, did I have a dream just now, or did I really go to that era? Who is that person in the bright yellow dragon robe? That sad and angry person?" Who is the general, and who is the old man who sat up in shock from his illness?"

Ji Ran smiled and asked: "General, do you think you dreamed of the butterfly or the butterfly dreamed of you?"

Li Mu was silent, even though he was skilled in martial arts and used soldiers like a god, he had never seen such a real dream.But after all, he has a tough mind and quickly walked out of doubts.Asked Ji Ran again: "That racial intrusion dressed like a barbarian is probably what the master wants me to see."

Ji Ran nodded and said: "I don't need the general to betray Zhao, I just hope that the general can guard the border for the 3000 million people of these nine states. Now the name of the Xiongnu Chanyu is Touman. Although Touman is fatuous and incompetent, his son Maodun will become a dazzling star on the grassland."

"I don't know if the general is willing to fight against him for the sake of the people of the world?"

Li Mu was silent again. After a long time, he sighed and finally asked: "Sir, can you tell me why the general I saw in my dream chose to die? I can see that he is capable."

This time Ji Ran was silent. After a long time, Ji Ran said: "Because he chose to be loyal to his king and gave up the people of the North. At that time, his army was only fifty miles away from the former capital of the empire. Unfortunately, his king Twelve edicts were issued in succession to recall him to the capital."

"In the end, he was sentenced to death on an unfounded charge."

Li Mu thought about it for a long time. At this time, Ji Ran took out Hei Fu's family letter and handed it to Li Mu. After reading it, Li Mu fell into a long silence for the third time.

Ji Ran said leisurely: "The war continues for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold."

Finally, Li Mu said to Ji Ran: "If the King of Qin agrees to Mu's three conditions, Mu is willing to agree to guard the border."

Ji Ran did not show joy on her face, but asked: "I don't know what three conditions the general wants."

"First, Mu only guards the border, fights against foreign Xiongnu tribes, and no longer participates in the war between the Nine Provinces."

"Second, Mu needs the King of Qin to trust Mu enough and does not want to have positions such as supervising the army."

"Third, please ask King Qin to treat King Zhao's royal family well."

Ji Ran thought for a while and said, "I will convey it to King Qin for you."

Li Tong outside the tent was stunned when he heard his father's words. He rushed into the tent in disbelief and asked his father: "Father, I don't understand why you betrayed Zhao."

"Obviously, as long as the father nods to support Lord Chang'an (the Lord Chang'an of Zhao who was a hostage in Qi was not Cheng Jiao) as the King of Zhao, his father can become the Prime Minister of Zhao. Like Lu Buwei of Qin, one person is worth ten thousand people. I am above people. I am going to tell Mr. Changan"

Ji Ran looked at Li Tong and said, "If you leave now, go find Lord Chang'an and tell them Lord Wu'an rebelled, then do you know what the consequences will be?"

Li Tong looked at the person in front of him angrily and said, "Tian Qian, I really misjudged you. You actually encouraged my father to treason. My Li family's foundation will be destroyed in your hands. You must have used some evil spell to confuse me." 's father."

After saying this, Li Tong came towards Ji Ran with his sword.It's a pity that even though Li Tong has now penetrated the Ren and Du lines, he is still not Ji Ran's enemy.After Ji Ran subdued Li Tong, he asked Li Mu: "How to deal with Brother Li."

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I will strictly discipline him and I will definitely not let him leak the news."

Ji Ran looked at Li Mu and said, "Guess what Guo Kai will do if he knows your decision?"

Without waiting for Li Mu to answer, Ji Ran continued: "He will find a way to kill you or imprison you. He will let others command the 40 soldiers of Zhao State, and then face Qin State's nearly [-] troops, and then destroy the entire Zhao State." The country was beaten into pieces, and in the end Zhao was still gone."

"The entire Zhao Kingdom is a scorched earth. As long as you go out, you will be able to see the white silk of every family. Oh, no, you can't even see the white silk, because everyone is dead."

"Then, you will see that the nobles are not dead, because they are all smart people. They will flee to Yan State, to Qi State, and then continue to talk about revenge and restoration of the country, and then go to incite Yan State, Qi State continues to follow Qin went to war, and then Yan and Qi were reduced to scorched earth."

"Maybe they will push back the Qin army, and then they can sit in front of the jade plate and say happily, look, this is the Qin State with the tiger and wolf army. They were afraid, they retreated, and we won. Completely You can’t see thousands of floating corpses and thousands of withered families outside the city.”

"It's better that I take him away. Let him calm down in Shaoshi Mountain for a while. After the world is unified, let him go to the border to help the general."

Li Mu sighed: "That's all we have to do."

Ten days later, Li Mu was in his tent.Li Mu never dreamed that he would be able to see the enemy's monarch, King Qin Yingzheng, in his army camp.

That's right, when Ying Zheng received the summons from Ji Ran, he came to the front line in person and asked to see Li Mu.Then Ying Zheng and Ji Ran appeared in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu saluted and said, "Li Mu has met King Qin."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Mu and said: "Wu'an Lord has lived up to me, and I will certainly not let him down. From today on, I will name General Li as Wu'an Lord of the Qin Dynasty. He will guard the northern border and command 40 soldiers and horses in the northern border. Have the power to make changes when facing the enemy."

Li Mu also didn't expect that Ying Zheng was such a hero and could let him go like this. What else could he be dissatisfied with?So Li Mu knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you so much for your love, Your Majesty. I will definitely protect the northern border for the people of Jiuzhou."

Ying Zheng helped Li Mu up, grabbed his hand and said, "The stability of the world depends on the general."

One month later, Wang Jian and Li Xin captured Handan and captured Zhao Wangqian. Zhao Gongzijia led hundreds of people from his clan to flee Dai County, but were captured by Meng Tian's troops halfway.At this point, Zhao State was completely destroyed.

In 221 BC, after a year of repairs, the Qin army planned to defeat the Yan Kingdom again.This time, Wang Jian still led the main force of the army to defeat Yan. Li Xin and Meng Tian led the army to respond. The Qin army approached Yishui.

At this time, the whole country of Yan was wailing. Only the prince Yan Dan, after discussing with his teacher Jian Wu, found the six-fingered black man of the Mo family, Junzi, hoping to carry out the beheading operation to assassinate the King of Qin.The Six-Fingered Black Man readily agreed and recommended the big leader Jing Ke.

Prince Dan said to Jing Ke, "Qin soldiers are about to cross the Yi River. What are you going to do?"

Jing Ke said: "Now we are going to the Kingdom of Qin, and we have nothing to gain trust from, how can we get close to the King of Qin? Moreover, the King of Qin must be surrounded by expert guards. If I want to kill him, I must get five steps closer to the King of Qin before I can use my shocking sword." , five steps to kill."

"I heard that the King of Qin used a thousand pieces of gold and a city of ten thousand households to buy General Fan's head. If I can get General Fan's head and the map of Dukang of Yan State, the King of Qin will be happy to receive me, and I will have the opportunity then. ”

Prince Dan couldn't bear to say: "General Fan came to me when he had no other choice. How can I hurt him? I hope you can find another way."

Jing Ke knew that Prince Dan was soft-hearted, so he went to Fan Yuqi privately and expressed his willingness to avenge the Qin King's annihilation of his clan. Fan Yuqi immediately committed suicide after hearing this.After Prince Dan heard the news, he was deeply saddened, but he had no choice but to put Fan Yuqi's head in a box and seal it.

Assassinating the King of Qin is a top priority, and no amount of preparation is too much in advance.So Jing Ke found the top swordsmith of the Moh family and forged the king-killing sword, Can Hong.

At the same time, Jing Ke also found another top master of the Mo family, Qin Wuyang, the grandson of General Qin Kai of Yan, as his helper.

On the day when Yishui said goodbye, he was dressed in white and looked extremely solemn and solemn.Gao Jianli lamented when he beat the building, while Jing Ke sang in harmony: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never return once he is gone."

One month later, the capital of the Yan Kingdom was Ji, the Prince's Mansion.Ji Ran looked at Yan Dan and Concubine Dongjun Yan in front of him and said, "Since you have figured out how to assassinate Qin, have you never considered the possibility of being assassinated yourself?"

Concubine Dongjun Yan said forcefully: "With me here, Master Xuan Xinzi may not be able to get what he wants."

Ji Ran glanced at her and said: "Compared with the previous Dongjun, you are still far behind. If the original Dongjun and Donghuangtai had not taken good care of me, there would be no chance for you to talk to me here. "

Concubine Dongjun Yan said coldly: "Master's words are too boastful."

Only then did Yan Dan realize that his princess was actually Dong Jun, the great protector of the Yin Yang family.Although he was surprised, he was not surprised, because he had long discovered that his princess was not simple.

Ji Ran ignored Concubine Yan and said to Yan Dan: "Follow me to Shaoshi Mountain to practice, and I will avoid death."

Hearing Ji Ran's words, Concubine Yan saw her beloved man being bullied, her anger surged, and she struck at Ji Ran with a bloody skeleton handprint.

Ji Ran said no more, and came to Concubine Yan in a flash. She pressed her palm on Concubine Yan's Tanzhong acupoint, and at the same time activated the Fengmian mark.

Concubine Yan felt uncomfortable and wanted to break free, but found that her whole body was burning like a fire and could not move.After a while, all of my true energy disappeared and was sealed in my Tanzhong acupoint.

Ji Ran asked Yan Dan again: "Death, or follow me to Shaoshi Mountain?"

Yan Dan glanced at Concubine Yan, who fell to the ground unable to get up due to weakness, and finally said dejectedly: "I will follow you back to Shaoshi Mountain."

Just as Shan Zi finished speaking, a sword light, like a silver rainbow, pierced Ji Ran's chest.

The person who came was none other than Kui Tian Guang, a peasant hero who had recovered from his injuries and was invited by Yan Dan.

Tian Guang was holding the Mo Xie sword at this time, with a kind of bravery and heroism that would go forward indomitably, and if he failed, he would be benevolent, as if he wanted to die with Ji Ran.However, Ji Ran has long seen that Tian Guang's sword should be imitating Jing Ke's shocking sword, with five steps and one kill, but it's a pity that it has nothing but appearance.

Ji Ran still threw out two feathers. The first one was cut off by Tian Guang's sword light, but the second one swam like a spiritual snake and directly stabbed Tian Dan's throat, because at the moment the first feather was cut off , the world seemed to darken for a moment, and then recovered.

It was Ji Ran who cooperated with Yu to perform the Eclipse of Heaven and Earth, which made everyone present lose their focus for a moment.

Tian Guang covered his throat and looked at Ji Ran in disbelief. It seemed that he would not believe until his death that someone would really risk the disdain of the world and kill his relatives and elders.

Ji Ran seemed to have seen through Tian Guang's thoughts and said: "I have already told you not to participate in the world's hegemony anymore. Don't say it unpredictably. And I never think that you are my relative, because the real Tian Qian has already Died, died on a snowy night."

Ji Ran stepped forward and picked up Moye Sword, pointed at Yan Dan and said, "It seems it's time to send you on your way. Remember to be an ordinary person with less ambition in the next life."

Looking at Ji Ran walking over step by step, Yan Dan knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I am willing to follow Master Xuan Xinzi to practice in Shaoshi Mountain."

Ji Ran nodded and said, "Good."

Then he left the Prince's Mansion with Yan Dan and Concubine Yan.

In April 221 BC, Wang Jian captured Jicheng, the capital of Yan, in one fell swoop. King Yan Xi led his royal guards to escape from Jidu and went straight to Liaodong. Li Xin led his troops to pursue the victory to Yanshui, and defeated the Yan army again. The main force of the Yan State Guards was eliminated.King Yan wanted to seek peace with Qin, but unfortunately Ying Zheng ignored him.

In the fifth month, Wang Jian's son Wang Ben led his army to attack Liaodong and captured King Xi of Yan. Yan died.So Yingzheng established Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County and Liaodong County in Yandi.

Wang Ben and Li Xin, who had destroyed the Yan Kingdom, were ordered to enter the Qi territory directly from the north.Wang Jian led Meng Tian to attack Linzi head-on.What is ridiculous is that at this time, Qi State still did not assemble an army, and did not even have the courage to fight Qin State.

Ji Ran returned to the Qi Palace again after 34 years with Ying Zheng's edict to persuade him to surrender. Unfortunately, this time Ji Ran was no longer Wang Diqian, whom everyone in the Qi Palace hated and bullied, but a special envoy of the Qin State, holding a banner and representing King Qin made a decision.

Queen Mother Jun, who was over sixty years old, looked at Ji Ran with a complicated expression. Qi Wangjian even regarded Ji Ran as the bastard who could drink and drink around, and saw Ji Ran not saluting him when he saw Ji Ran going to the palace.

So Qi Wangjian said: "How come my brother Wang has been wandering for decades and has even forgotten the etiquette and rules? Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"

Ji Ran just glanced at Qi Wangjian without replying, then turned to look at Queen Mother Jun and said, "You have trained him to be like this in 30 years?"

Queen Mother Jun said with an ugly face: "I am your aunt after all, so you should be more respectful when speaking."

Ji Ran waved to the back and said: "Everyone in the palace will leave. After thirty breaths, except Queen Mother Jun and King Jian of Qi, everyone else in the palace will be killed."

"Wei!" 18 people answered Ji Randao at the same time.These 18 people were the ones Ji Ran found among the sword masters of the Thirty Book of Songs through heart-to-heart enlightenment, who did not have many bad deeds and were willing to follow her.The remaining 12 people are indeed building the Great Wall in the north.

Thirty breaths later, there were still 60 palace guards in the hall, standing there motionless.Because they did not receive orders from the Queen Mother or Qi Wangjian.So Ji Ran waved her hand, and the screams were not even loud.

Sixty guards at the early stage of the Houtian Realm died under the swords of 18 people.The lowest cultivation level of these 18 people has penetrated the nine meridians, otherwise they would not have escaped Zhang Han's pursuit several times.

After Ji Ran couldn't sense any other auras, she said to the 18 people: "Keep the door of the palace and don't allow others to enter."

When there were only three people left in the main hall, Ji Ran slowly narrated: "I wonder if the Queen Mother still remembers the small courtyard in the northwest corner of your palace?"

The Empress Dowager's face darkened in an instant, and she said in an extremely ugly way: "If you want to settle accounts, you can wait until the state affairs are over. As the master of Qi, don't you have such eyesight?"

Ji Ran ignored Queen Mother Jun and continued: "In that small courtyard, there was an innocent boy who was only four years old. Because there was no charcoal fire for heating in winter, he froze to death on a snowy night."

"Otherwise, how did I come? So the real Tian Qian has died long ago, and I am just a stranger who borrowed his body. Therefore, there is no need to use that set of benevolence and etiquette to tell me anything, because you have already told me The child who is related to you by blood was tortured to death."

"Three things can ensure that Tian Ying and his son and daughter will survive. Otherwise, the Tian family in Qi will end here and the ancestral temple will be cut off."

After hearing this, Queen Mother Jun finally understood that no matter what she and Qi Wangjian did, they would not be able to survive today.So she said: "In that case, it's better to keep fighting."

Ji Ran said coldly: "If you don't understand what I say, you will die in the next second." After that, a ray of sword energy flew by and cut off the golden crown of Queen Mother Jun.

The disheveled Queen Mother Jun wanted to scream, but before she could speak, she felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder. It turned out that another ray of sword energy from Ji Ran pierced her left shoulder.

"So do you agree to my three things or not? Even if you two die now, Qi State can still support Li Tianjia, or I can disguise myself as King Jian of Qi. After all, we are somewhat similar in appearance." Ji Ran said slowly again.

After some consideration, the Queen Mother Jun decided that a good man would not suffer the immediate loss. After sending away the evil star, he would still fight against Qin to the end.

Then before Queen Mother Jun could speak, Ji Ran pierced her throat with a sword energy and said, "Do you really think what I just said was a lie?"

No longer paying attention to Queen Mother Jun, Ji Ran said to Qi Wang Jian: "The first thing is that Tian Wen of the Tian family of Zhaoyi was granted the title of Queen Mother of Qi and was buried with King Tian Fazhang of Qi Xiang."

Wang Jian of Qi, who was shouting, saw that Ji Ran was not affected by him and stopped pretending to be incompetent. He said with a serious face: "I didn't expect you to achieve what you have today. If you had inherited the throne of King Qi, It will definitely be better than it is now.”

Ji Ran smiled and said: "So, how can a person who has been the king of Qi for more than 30 years still be as ignorant and stupid as before?"

It turns out that Qi Wangjian's 35 years of pretending to be stupid was all to deceive the Queen Mother Jun, because he found that the Queen Mother Jun was more and more fond of power, and sometimes she even had murderous intentions towards him.So Qi Wangjian hid himself.

But Ji Ran didn't want to know the story between him and Queen Mother Jun. They were both going to die anyway.So Ji Ran continued: "Second, Qi announced its surrender to Qin and took the lead in supporting Qin's series of new policies."

"Third, hand over Canglong Qisu's copper box and jade pendant."

Qi Wangjian was very indifferent to the first two conditions, but after hearing the third one, his expression changed drastically and he asked: "How do you know the secret of Canglong Qisu?"

Ji Ran smiled and didn't answer, but said to Qi Wangjian: "King Qi please issue an edict and let the world know it!"

In September 221 BC, King Qi surrendered without a fight.At this point, Yingzheng unified the country.
