Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

The so-called "Guardian of the Nation" had a high reputation and status, but little real power.

The reason for this position is mainly to win over experts of Dongqing's caliber, in order to prevent the royal bloodline and the king himself from being assassinated by powerful experts.

Therefore, both the Five Elements Hall and the Star Gazing Hall were located within the coverage area of ​​Xianyang Palace, for the purpose of protection, rather than being directly relocated to other parts of Xianyang City.

Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, a prince of the Wei royal family, was stabbed to death from behind by Jing Ni. It was only after the nameless swordsman had left that Jing Ni was able to take the opportunity to draw her sword and kill him.

That's right, even if Jing Ni were surrounded by thousands of armored guards, she would have no chance of survival.

However, there is a premise: Jing Ni is an assassin and does not need to face thousands of troops.

No one can always have thousands of people protecting them, not even a king.

In this way...

The position of Protector of the Law, a nominal but powerless post, was created. It served to win over the masters of the various schools of thought while also preventing the royal bloodline from being assassinated by these masters.

Of course, only powerful countries can afford to hire a French defense specialist. Poor and weak countries like South Korea don't even have a decent expert, let alone a French defense specialist.

"You've come again. Dongjun is not here."

The Moon Goddess's tone was extremely cold. She stood in front of Dong Qing, preventing the mysterious man from barging directly into the Yin Yang Clan's territory.

This is the gate to the Star Gazing Hall. Originally, it was guarded by disciples of the Yin-Yang School, but they were all dismissed because they sensed that an important person was coming.

The only person who can foresee the future is the Moon Goddess. Although she is not as strong as Dongjun Yanfei, she is skilled at divination and predicting the future.

"I don't believe you. Let me in and see," Dong Qing said.

After he finished speaking, he tried to go around the Moon Goddess, but she blocked his way again.

"She's really not here. If you need anything, you can come to me directly," the Moon Goddess said softly.

She had long, light purple hair with a strand hanging down on each side, reaching her waist. She wore a sky-blue crystal hairpin with silver leaf carvings and silver beads interspersed among her hair strands.

Her light blue crystal earrings tinkled in the breeze, her rose-red lip gloss hinted at her underlying passion, and her face was veiled in an almost transparent manner.

She also had a teardrop-shaped, ice-blue bead hanging from her forehead, which was suspended vertically by a dark blue-purple ribbon with light blue patterns, and a strange hair ornament at the back of her head.

He wore a light blue short robe with a crescent-shaped pattern on the back, a dark blue collar, and a belt with alternating shades of purple and dark blue on a sea blue background.

She wore a navy blue, wide-sleeved long dress and a moon-white cross-collar inner garment. The long dress trailed on the ground and had violet stripes, with a floral pattern on the hem.

"If Dongjun isn't there, then forget it." Dongqing turned and left.

"Don't leave!"

The Moon Goddess was inexplicably angry and stood in front of Dongqing again.

"What are you doing?" Dongqing asked, puzzled.

Is this woman sick in the head?

"Dongqing, I am also a protector of the Yin-Yang School. If you need anything, you can come to me as well." The Moon Goddess's beautiful eyes held a hint of reproach, as if she were seducing someone, but in reality, she was getting angry.

She doesn't curse people directly, and when she gets angry, it sounds like she's being coquettish, but no one dares to underestimate her. This woman doesn't curse people to their faces, but she's very skilled at cursing people behind their backs.

This curser doesn't just talk the talk; she can actually curse people behind their backs. By knowing their birth date, their fur, and their blood, she can kill without shedding a drop of blood.

"I have something to discuss with her, not with you." Dong Qing waved his hand, somewhat too lazy to pay attention to her.

These words were spoken.

The Moon Goddess did not stop Dongqing any longer; she slowly stepped aside.

But looking at Dongqing's back, she felt a little unwilling.

Why is it that... Dongjun, you always manage to outdo me!

......

Time flies, and years pass by.

three days later.

Dong Qing encountered Dong Jun Yan Fei outside Xianyang Palace. She seemed to have just returned from outside, and there was still a trace of fatigue on her fair and jade-like face.

In terms of elegance and nobility alone, she surpasses the Moon Goddess. However, the long hairpin behind her head is something that Dong Qing always wants to complain about but doesn't know how to do.

This hairpin is longer than my head; it could be used as a sword if I took it off.

"Feiyan, did you just come back from outside?"

Dong Qing took the initiative to move closer, but before he could even bring his face close to Dong Jun Yan Fei's lips, she pressed her hand against his face, preventing this man from taking advantage of her in broad daylight.

"I just got back from the Yin Yang School headquarters. I've been on the road the whole time and haven't slept for three days. Please don't bother me, okay?" Dongjun Yanfei's tone was somewhat irritated.

"Come sleep at my place," Dongqing suggested.

"Get lost." Dongjun Yanfei glared at Dongqing.

He doesn't have the ability to marry me openly and formally, yet he thinks too much. He can't be a concubine; if he wants me, he can only marry me openly and formally as his wife.

And it's fortunate that it was Dong Qing who had already won her over with sweet words and deceived her heart. Anyone else who dared to be so flirtatious would have been dealt with the Six Souls Curse long ago.

"Don't be so fierce. If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll take you home, okay?"

Dong Qing tentatively grasped Dong Jun Yanfei's small hand. Without resistance, he went a step further and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her slender figure into his embrace.

Although currently they can only kiss and hug, and more can only be unlocked by marrying her, for people with traditional values, this is basically considered a private engagement.

"Humph."

Dongjun Yanfei glared at Dongqing again, but she quickly calmed down.

"Donghuang Taiyi knows about our affairs," Dongjun Yanfei said slowly.

"Nonsense, everyone knows about our affairs," Dong Qing said nonchalantly.

"It's all your fault... How dare you say that? She... She wants to invite you to join the Yin Yang School. The position of Xiang Jun among the five elders of the Yin Yang School is still vacant, and she wants to invite you to be the Xiang Jun of the Yin Yang School."

Dong Jun Yanfei spoke softer and softer. She felt that it was unlikely that Dong Qing would join the Yin Yang School. How could such a powerful man be willing to be restrained by others?

as predicted.

The next second, Dong Qing turned hostile and said unhappily, "You think you can just dismiss me with the position of one of the five elders? What is he anyway? Believe me or not, I'll slap him to death and take the position of Donghuang Taiyi myself."

These words were spoken.

Dongjun Yanfei jolted awake, forcibly suppressing her physical exhaustion. She knew how powerful Dongqing was; even she couldn't resist a casual flick of his finger.

With a casual flick of his finger, an invisible force descended, rendering the body immobile. What terrifying power this was! It was an opponent that their leader, Donghuang Taiyi, could not possibly contend with.

"Don't do anything rash. Although I don't like her either, the Yin-Yang School will fall apart in an instant without her. She is the most indispensable person in the Yin-Yang School."

Dongjun Yanfei spoke with utmost seriousness, and after finishing, she stared intently into Dongqing's pupils. She was truly afraid, truly afraid that her man, Dongqing, would turn around and kill her leader.

"You actually spoke up for him? I'm not happy about that. He's dead meat, you just wait." Dong Qing appeared to be joking, but no one knew if he would actually do it.

"No, no, no, don't be jealous. Donghuang Taiyi is a woman. She is a woman. Otherwise, why do you think she would cover her face and deliberately hide her figure all day? Isn't it because she is afraid of being found out? She is a woman, so don't be jealous of her." Dongjun Yanfei said helplessly.

"A woman?" Dong Qing's mind went blank.

This thing is actually a woman?

Shouldn't it be a man?

“Of course it’s a woman. Don’t do anything rash, and don’t talk about this. She needs to maintain an air of mystery so that she can keep the Yin-Yang School firmly under her control,” Dongjun Yanfei said seriously.

That's how troublesome it is when a woman is in power, especially when she's in the highest position. If it weren't for Donghuang Taiyi maintaining his mystique at all times, who would be convinced that the Yin-Yang School is controlled by a woman?

"Feiyan, what are you afraid of? I was just joking." As Dongqing spoke, he released his divine sense for a second.

After confirming Donghuang Taiyi's gender and discovering that Dongjun Yanfei had not lied to him, he withdrew his divine sense from his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Ha, you're joking, if you were joking, you wouldn't have castrated Yan Dan last time." Dongjun Yanfei felt utterly exhausted.

How many people have spoken their true feelings while joking?

Dongjun Yanfei dared not gamble on whether Dongqing was joking.

She knew that Dongqing liked her, so she always tolerated and endured her temper.

But that doesn't mean he's a gentle man; he's extremely jealous.

Last month, a hostage sent from Yan to Qin, namely Prince Dan of Yan, approached him.

He wanted to help him escape from Qin, but the very next day, Yan Dan lost his ability to be a man.

He was abandoned on the street, his lower body completely exposed, blood flowing all over the ground. It was obvious that he had been castrated.

Despite being the crown prince of Yan, Yan Dan's status as a hostage was extremely low. As long as he didn't die, Yan wouldn't care at all.

Forget about whether Yan is shameful or not. The crown prince of a country has been sent here as a hostage. What could be more shameful than this?

As for King Zheng of Qin, he was not a hostage. He was born in the State of Zhao and lived with his biological mother, Zhao Ji, for more than ten years before returning to the State of Qin a few years later.

King Zheng of Qin's biological father was Zhao Zichu, also known as King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Zhao Zichu.

He was the hostage, a hostage who had been left in the State of Zhao for almost twenty years.

Zhao Zichu, also known as Qin Yiren, can also be called Ying Zichu if you prefer.

He was a son of King Xiaowen of Qin, but because he was not favored, he was sent to the State of Zhao as a hostage at a young age. He was smuggled out of Zhao by Lü Buwei at his own expense.

After he became King of Qin with the help of Lü Buwei, he brought his wife and son, Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng, back from Zhao.

Throughout the entire process, King Zheng of Qin was not a hostage, but rather the heir of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Zhao Zichu, who had been left in the state of Zhao. Therefore, he could return to Qin directly without having to flee.

[Note: During the pre-Qin period, the Ying surname was one of the eight ancient surnames (Ji, Yao, Gui, Si, Jiang, Ying).]

The Qin and Zhao states shared a common ancestor, Boyi, one of the four legendary figures of antiquity. Boyi was an important assistant to Yu the Great and was granted the surname Ying for his merits. The Ying clan continued to thrive and multiply thereafter.

During the reign of King Zhou of Shang, Fei Lian of Boyi was a high-ranking official of the Shang Dynasty. After King Wu of Zhou overthrew the Shang, the Ying clan, as members of the defeated side, were exiled to the Shaanxi and Tianshui areas to raise horses for the Zhou royal family.

During the reign of King Mu of Zhou, Zao Fu, a member of the Ying clan, was a master charioteer. For his skill, he was enfeoffed in Zhao City, thus becoming the ancestor of the Ying clan's Zhao lineage.

At this time, the Ying clan members were basically subordinate to the Zhao clan and all became the Ying-Zhao clan. Some of them were raising horses for the Zhou king. Among them was a skilled horse breeder named Feizi, who was highly appreciated by King Xiao of Zhou, who granted them a fiefdom called Qin. This is the origin of the Qin state.

[It was from this time that the Ying surname split into two parts: Ying Zhao and Ying Qin. Within the Ying family, men were surnamed Zhao and women were surnamed Ying. There was no distinction between the two. King Zheng of Qin could be called Zhao Zheng, or if he didn't like it, he could be called Ying Zheng. In reality, there was no difference.]

"Let's go, don't see me off. I need to rest now."

"I'll go in..."
