The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1137 The Southern Expedition Begins [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

Taoists have never been known for their swordsmanship, but for their strange and varied Taoist methods.

This time, Yan Yan was also greatly enlightened.

As the oldest immortal among the Taoists, Heguanzi is proficient in almost all Taoist methods and martial arts. At the same time, because he has lived for a long time, he is not only proficient in Taoist methods, but also in the martial arts of various schools of thought.

At least Yan Yan has seen the martial arts of Taoism, Yin-Yang School, School of Names, Military Science, Mohism, Agriculture, Five Elements School and other schools of thought from He Guanzi.

There is even martial arts from the Shizi lineage, one of the branches of the Legalists.

This is simply a walking encyclopedia of all schools of thought.

"After all these years, Your Majesty is still the first person who can make me, a poor monk, give my full support!" Heguanzi was also very happy.

All the philosophers of the Hundred Schools of Thought would encounter bottlenecks when they reached a certain level of practice, and then they would study the classics of other schools in the hope of learning by analogy.

And Heguanzi is one of them.

It's just that when he encountered the bottleneck, he was already a world-famous master. Even if he learned from hundreds of schools, it didn't help him much, and no one could let him display his skills.

So, all his learning was in vain.

He thought that he would never encounter an opportunity in his lifetime to display his profound knowledge.

"Senior, you are well-versed in many fields. I admire you very much!" Yan Yan said sincerely.

This is not a compliment, but real admiration.

Heguanzi was different from Chu Nangong, who was well-versed in all schools of thought but not in-depth. Heguanzi used the knowledge of all schools of thought to establish his own way, and then once he mastered one method, he would master all methods. The knowledge of all schools of thought was also pushed to a very high level by Heguanzi.

In this regard, perhaps only Master Xun in the whole world can compete with Heguanzi, and no one else is qualified.

"It's a pity that Ying Qushui's sword is too lonely, too unique and too sharp. Even if I use all my means, I can only destroy one of his nine swords. The remaining eight swords seal your majesty's cultivation!" Heguanzi stroked the feather crown on his head, which was made of feathers of some bird plucked from who knows where.

"It's okay!" Yan Yan was not discouraged.

Although he only broke a sword energy seal, Yan Yan was able to mobilize the cultivation level equivalent to that of a first- or second-rate martial arts master.

"I'm leaving now!" Heguanzi did not stay for long. After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the palace with the wind.

"Taoist Dream Butterfly Escape!" Yan Yan was a little envious.

Although it is not very practical, it is very classy!

Whether it is the Escape of the Dream Butterfly or the Harmony with the Dust, they can fully excite the Taoist masters.

"Your Majesty!" Mo Ya, Nong Yu and others only breathed a sigh of relief after Yan Yan opened the door of the School Administration Hall.

Although it seemed like Yan Yan and He Guanzi's time in there was very short, in fact, ten days had passed in the outside world.

This is not what makes them nervous.

The main thing was that the palace suddenly lit up with a color, flickering, which was terrifying to watch.

"Where is Senior Heguanzi?" Mo Ya stretched his head and looked inside the palace, but did not see any sign of Heguanzi.

"They've already left!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

He did remind Heguanzi that it was time to find some Chinese experts to go to Kongque.

After all, the peacock brought the Buddha's bones and relics to China, which meant that he had actively violated the ban, so we should not blame China for it.

Yan Yan couldn't find those mysterious Chinese masters, but as one of the former leaders of the Taoist Tianren Sect, He Guanzi must know a lot of people and know their whereabouts.

Without an expert to take charge and hold back Peacock's top experts, they sent so many people over there, just to deliver food.

He Guanzi did not refuse and took the initiative to take on this task. In He Guanzi's words, if they didn't fight back when the enemy came to their doorstep, what was the point of practicing Taoism?

"What is your majesty's cultivation level?" Nanyue asked nervously.

"It has been partially recovered, so the impact is not that big!" Yan Yan smiled and nodded, and he could go out and play happily again.

"..."

As if they knew what Yan Yan was thinking, Nong Yu, Mo Ya and the others all had frozen expressions. He just relieved himself a little and now he was going out to have fun?
"Has anything big happened recently?" Yan Yan asked curiously.

Nothing should go wrong if I don't attend court for ten days, right?
"Everything is stable in the court!" Nanyue spread her hands.

Does it make any difference whether Bingzhou has you or not?

The ministers in the court have become accustomed to your absence and have been forced to develop the ability to make decisions on their own.

Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief. There had been a lot going on recently and he was really afraid that something might have happened.

"By the way, Internal Secretary Meng Tian said that they discovered a huge gold mine north of the Daling River!" Nong Yu spoke again.

"Ah?" Yan Yan was stunned for a moment. He knew that there were many gold mines under the black soil, but he never thought that Meng Tian and his team had already developed them there.

"But the place is covered with ice and snow all year round, so mining is very difficult. Therefore, after consulting the prime minister, Meng Tian, ​​the internal historian, decided to temporarily ban mining!" Nong Yu continued.

"Oh!" Yan Yan nodded.

Since it was Meng Tian and An Qisheng who decided not to mine, they must have their reasons.

"What else?" Yan Yan continued to ask.

"Also, the Qin army has already set out for the southern expedition, and the troops are divided into five groups to attack Baiyue, Wuyue, Minyue and other places." Mo Ya spoke.

"This is normal!" Yan Yan nodded. The southern expedition to Baiyue was the national policy of Qin State, and it was impossible to stop it because of Bingzhou.

Just like in the official history, the troops were divided and marched southwards, spreading everywhere.

However, thanks to Bingzhou's reminder, the casualties of the army heading south were reduced to a minimum.

"After the leader of Daxia left, the prime minister sent by Bingzhou to the Wutan Kingdom also used falcons to send messages, hoping to send troops to attack Dayuezhi and Kongque!" Mo Ya continued.

"How did Anqi Xiang respond?" Yan Yan was puzzled.

"My Lord Commander and my Lord Prime Minister agree that the Wutan Kingdom should cooperate with the Protectorate of the Western Regions, gather the Wusun, Dayuan and other countries, and combine 170,000 troops to attack Dayuezhi and expand the territory of the Western Regions by 800 miles!" Nong Yu piled all the memorials that had been accumulated in the past few days in front of Yan Yan.

“……” Looking at the table full of memorials, Yan Yan’s eyes turned green.

It feels like going back to the time before the college entrance examination in senior year of high school. If I take a few days off, the papers will pile up on the table!

Some of these memorials had already been approved by the Prime Minister's Office, the Imperial Household Department, and the Censorate, but they were still submitted for reporting. Many more were memorials that none of the three departments were sure about.

“Can’t I take a two-day break?” Yan Yan rubbed his brows.

"Your Majesty has rested for ten days!" Nong Yu said firmly, helping Yan Yan spread out one of the memorials.

This was asked by An Qisheng, mainly because he was afraid that Yan Yan would run around again.

Therefore, the Prime Minister's Office could actually make decisions on many memorials on its own, but in order to increase Yan Yan's work, they were deliberately submitted to the higher-ups, just because they did not want to give Yan Yan time to run around.

"Ah~" Yan Yan sighed and could only review the papers carefully.

He is now a little confused as to how Ying Zheng managed to review memorials every day without feeling bored and tired.
