The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

This is the first major event that has recently made the world famous.

After this news spread, the states of Shandong were shocked by the young King of Qin's skill, and at the same time, they all sent people to Luoyang to try to persuade Lü Buwei to join their countries.

Lü Buwei had been in charge of the Qin state for many years. Although he had lost power in Qin, he knew the state of Qin very well. If he could join their state, he might be able to help them grow stronger and perhaps even be able to fight against Qin.

However, Lü Buwei rejected all the offers of these countries.

The young king of Qin had just defeated Lü Buwei and was currently focused on taking over the administration of the state, so he naturally had no time to invade Han.

Apart from the Qin state.

The states of Wei and Zhao, along with Han, were all part of the Three Jin states. Although they had occasional conflicts in the past, now, due to the power of Qin, they deeply understood the principle of unity among the Three Jin states and occasionally helped each other, without taking the initiative to invade Han.

As for the Chu state, it did have the capability to invade the Han state. Ji Wuye's famous battle in the past was due to a gift from the Chu state.

However, the State of Chu has also been plagued by constant turmoil recently.

When Qin's Ying Zheng executed Lao Ai and dismissed Lü Buwei from his position as prime minister, a turmoil also broke out in the state of Chu.

Lord Chunshen, Huang Xie, was killed.

In the past, the Four Lords of the Warring States were famous throughout the world, but as time went by, they gradually faded into obscurity.

Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng and Lord Mengchang Tian Wen had been dead for more than a decade. Lord Xinling Wei Wuji had been assassinated by the Luo Wang assassination plot several years ago and died in Xinling. Now, Lord Chunshen Huang Xie, the Prime Minister of Chu, whose status in Chu was even greater than that of Lü Buwei in Qin, had been killed, causing the situation in Chu to immediately become chaotic. At this moment, the people of Chu were busy fighting for power and profit, and naturally had no time to pay attention to Han.

South Korea, in a way, gained some breathing room.

After a long period of bad news, including the death of the crown prince and the deaths of General Ji Wuye and his son, a good thing finally came.

Princess Honglian married Marquis Xueyi.

Chapter 183 Cultivating Ice and Fire Simultaneously

The King of Han had no intention of postponing the wedding; on the contrary, he kept bringing it forward.

It is precisely because the world is in turmoil.

Lu Buwei and Huang Xie, who once held sway over the states of Qin and Chu, were both dismissed from their posts and killed. Only then did the King of Han realize that this era was far more insane than he had imagined.

South Korea was not as powerful as Qin or Chu. In terms of national strength alone, it was weaker than the other two states among the Three Jin states, Zhao and Wei. It should be noted that Wei's once-famous Wei Wuzu (a type of elite infantry) had been decimated, and now it was merely a name without substance. Zhao had also suffered the Battle of Changping. Even so, these two states were still stronger than South Korea.

This shows how weak South Korea is.

Of the six states in Shandong, only the Yan state was as weak as the Han state.

However, even the State of Yan had a glorious period during the reign of King Zhao of Yan, and it almost destroyed the State of Qi. Of course, the State of Han also had a glorious period when it destroyed the State of Zheng.

A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories; every nation that has survived to this day has had its glorious past.

Leaving aside past glories, let's just talk about the country's current position.

South Korea was situated in a strategically important location, sandwiched between the states of Zhao, Wei, Qin, and Chu. Its territory could only be invaded by these states, and even if it wanted to expand outwards, it could not.

Although the Yan state was weak, it had the Liaodong region as its backing, so if something happened, it could still flee to Liaodong.

Because there was no way out from the outside world, the King of Han could only try to rely on the soldiers of Han to defend this small territory.

At least, at least during his generation, South Korea was safe and sound, and that was enough.

King An of Han was not an ambitious ruler.

His greatest wish was not to become the ruler of a fallen kingdom.

What will happen to South Korea during the reign of the next monarch?

Then it has nothing to do with him.

After I die, I don't care if the world is flooded.

Even so, the King of Han had no choice but to pay attention to the current situation.

The young king of Qin had just come of age and assumed personal rule, yet he had already eliminated Lao Ai and Lü Buwei. He was clearly an ambitious man, and might very well become another King Zhaoxiang of Qin. In addition, Chu was also in constant turmoil, with even Lord Chunshen, Huang Xie, being killed. If his successor was also an ambitious man, and both states wanted to take action against Han, what should Han do?

Blood-Clad Marquis is currently the only general in South Korea capable of fighting.

This was the only hope for the King of Han.

We must win over Bai Yifei, the Blood-Clad Marquis, as soon as possible and turn him into one of our own.

As the uproar surrounding Ji Wuye's death gradually subsided and the martial law in Xinzheng City was gradually relaxed, King Han had an astrologer find an auspicious day and set the wedding date directly.

Jiang Chuan, as the person involved, had no opinion on the fact that the wedding date had been set, and silently complied.

Surprisingly, the other party involved, Princess Honglian, did not take any extreme actions.

There are reasons for this, of course.

It wasn't that Princess Honglian had resigned herself to her fate, nor was she harboring any evil intentions, such as plotting to assassinate the Blood-Clad Marquis on the night of her wedding.

Rather, it's because Han Fei has not yet been released.

Han Fei and Chancellor Zhang Kaidi have been imprisoned for a long time.

So much time has passed that the King of Han seems to have forgotten about the two men. Even though the martial law in Xinzheng City has been gradually relaxed, and even though the Han court has tacitly accepted that the murderer Wei Zhuang cannot be caught, and has instead issued an arrest warrant for Wei Zhuang.

However, Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi were still not pardoned.

Because all the evidence shows that they were the murderers who ordered Wei Zhuang to kill Ji Wuye and his son.

Besides this, King Han had another purpose in not pardoning Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi.

That is, those two people did everything they could to prevent him from marrying Honglian to Ji Yihu. If they were to come out and find out that he was planning to marry Honglian to Xueyi Hou, they would definitely oppose it again, and who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.

It's a shame he used to trust Zhang Kaidi so much, supporting him in opposing Ji Wuye to achieve a balance of power.

However, Zhang Kaidi failed to see the bigger picture. Because his grandson Zhang Liang also liked Honglian, he tried to sabotage the marriage and ruin his plans.

Han Fei, as his son, only thought about his sister's happiness, but ignored the principle that the country comes before the family. If the state of Han is destroyed, if the country and the state are no longer there, where will Honglian find happiness?

?sand ?concrete ?concrete ?????concrete ?concrete/p>

Moreover, who says that marrying Ji Yihu or Xueyi Hou will not bring happiness?

Isn't Blood-Clad Marquis a pretty perfect person?

In short, in order to prevent these two from ruining his plans, King Han decided to keep them imprisoned. Coincidentally, the case of Ji Wuye was still unresolved, which gave him a pretext to detain these two.

The reason that prompted Honglian to accept the facts and decide to marry Bai Yifei was the King of Han's act of detaining Han Fei.

No one knows how long her brother Han Fei will be imprisoned, or what if he is convicted and executed?

Since she couldn't get help from her father, she had to find other ways to help her brother.

Madam Mingzhu's words involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

She finally made up her mind.

Although she didn't like Bai Yifei as a person.

But for her brother's sake, she didn't mind marrying Bai Yifei.

Jiang Chuan's days were incredibly leisurely.

He eventually mastered Bai Yifei's Cold Skill.

In the early stages of cultivating the Cold Technique, there was indeed some conflict between his Cold Technique and the fire control technique he obtained from Yan Lingji. However, this conflict was not fatal, and he resolved it very quickly.

Before long, he reached a state where ice and fire coexisted harmoniously.

The reason why the problem was solved so quickly.

Aside from his earlier guess that the fire control technique draws upon the fire elemental power of heaven and earth, which is primarily external, while the cold energy of the cold technique originates from within the body, meaning the internal and external forces do not interfere with each other, there is another crucial reason.

Jiang Chuan overlooked the unique aspects of his physical condition.

From Yan Lingji, he obtained the Fire Virtue Body. With the Fire Virtue Body, his body can resonate and merge with the fire spirit power between heaven and earth. Later, at Lady Mingzhu's place, his physique changed again, and his blood became extremely cold.

A scorching body and icy blood—these two mutually restraining elements coexisted perfectly within him.

He had absolutely no need to seek the coexistence of ice and fire in his cultivation techniques. He had already achieved the so-called coexistence of ice and fire, and the coexistence of ice and charcoal. Therefore, when he began to cultivate the Cold Technique, the obstacles he encountered were much smaller than he had imagined.

Chapter 184 The Road Ahead

Inside the mansion, Jiang Chuan held flames in one hand, while frost covered his other hand, with snowflakes lingering and dancing in his palm.

Such a sight is truly unique.

This inevitably reminded Jiang Chuan of the comedy short film "Unexpectedly" that he had watched in his previous life. "I guess I have both ice and fire effects."

Moreover, it's not one of those cheapest, five-cent special effects.

Possessing two martial arts styles, and the two styles being mutually restraining ice and fire, is a truly unique feeling. Apart from the first episode of "Unexpectedly", Jiang Chuan also thought of the King of Annihilation "Chu Xiangyu" in the Wen-style martial arts world. To be honest, the first time Jiang Chuan heard the name Chu Xiangyu was not in the Four Great Constables series, but in... "The Tomb of the Gods". The leader of the Seven Ancient Kings was also named Chu Xiangyu.

In Wen's martial arts novels, Chu Xiangyu has mastered two unique "3-1-3" techniques: the "Ice Soul Cold Light Palm" in his left hand and the "Blazing Crimson Flame Palm" in his right hand. One hand is ice and the other is flame, which is very similar to Jiang Chuan at this moment.

Or perhaps it's that Jiang Chuan is very similar to him.

To circulate two completely different powers within the body.

Only now did Jiang Chuan gradually break free from Ru Shuang's shadow.

Before reaching the Innate Realm, he learned all his martial arts from Ru Shuang, essentially becoming a copy of her. After reaching the Innate Realm, although he began to try to collect various secret manuals and quickly master them with the help of his cheat ability, attempting to forge his own path, he was still greatly influenced by Ru Shuang and could not escape the shackles she imposed. Even though he had already learned Yan Ling Ji's fire control technique and could manipulate flames to fight, his most powerful weapon was still the sword he learned from Ru Shuang.

Especially Frost's most powerful sword strike.
