Chapter 186: Great Celebration of Qianyuan, the Emperor Looks at the Qi! (Two in One)

Looking beyond Shenzhou, the city walls are faintly visible.

On an isolated island in the middle of the river.

Yuwen Liqian looked at Yang Wenxian's departing back, feeling sad in her heart.

This person must be a truly talented person, who can defeat an army of 100,000 alone.

It’s a pity that it cannot be used by South Korea. The most expensive thing in the world is talent.

He made a promise that he would never offer any advice or suggestions for South Korea in his life.

Du Hui stood to one side and sighed softly: "The way of a gentleman is to deceive others with his own tricks!"

Yu Wenliqian felt an inexplicable expectation in her heart. She wanted to know the answer that Yang Wenxian was about to reveal.

The war between Han and Yan is about to begin. What will be the final outcome?
She firmly believed that South Korea would win.

Thirteen years ago, South Korea secretly reorganized the Han Wuzu, and now Zhou Ye has been appointed as the general again.

Han Wuzu swept across the world in 400 years!
This was an army more terrifying than Beifeng Tiefutu. It had destroyed dozens of countries in the past and established a great reputation.

Zhou Ye was even praised as "a famous general once in three hundred years". His military strategies were far ahead of his contemporaries. After his death, he would surely be included in the Temple of Martial Arts and be revered by all generations.

He wrote twelve volumes of military books, every word of which is brilliant, especially the theory that "attacking the heart is better than attacking the city".

He also pacified the Protectorate of the Western Regions, which doubled the territory of Korea. He carried out both farming and military affairs and united the countries in the Western Regions. His great achievements are worthy of being recorded in history.

He is a man of extraordinary talent, but his personal morality is flawed!
Zhou Ye sold his wife to get an official position, abused lynching, was greedy for money and lustful, and took possession of his brother's wife, which is despicable.

The marriage of the Korean princess to him was supposed to be a good story, but he unexpectedly disregarded ethics, took in many concubines, and forced and abused the princess to serve other men.

What’s even more shocking is!
The Korean Court unexpectedly unearthed dozens of corpses of brothel girls in the backyard of his mansion. This shocked the government and the people, and Zhou Ye was eventually taken to Zhao Prison to await trial.

However, his father, the emperor, mindful of his military talent, could not bear to kill him, so he demoted him to a commoner and sent him to a military post on the frontier.

Unexpectedly, this man made great achievements on the frontier. Four years ago, my father, the emperor, could not bear to give up his talent and summoned him back to the court to regain power over the Han Wuzu.

Mention Zhou Ye!
Yu Wen Li Qian did not have any favorable impression of him at all. Although they had only looked at each other once in the corridor, she was keenly aware of the ambition that was difficult to conceal in this person's eyes.

It seemed as if everything in the world was in his pocket, including herself, and he had a possessiveness like a beast.

In Korean folk culture, it is often said that Zhou Ye has the "ambition to swallow the sky."

The "Heaven" here, needless to say, refers directly to the position of the king of Korea.

When the father heard this, he smiled but said nothing.
"When the ruler is strong and the ministers are strong, the people are rich and the country is strong, then the world is well governed. When the ruler is strong and the ministers are weak, it is the way of despotism and the decline of the family and the country. When the ruler is weak and the ministers are strong, then the world is in chaos and the people suffer."

"We need a fierce tiger to guard the border. I am not Han Youjun, and Zhou Ye is not Gao Ling of the past."

Han Youjun, that was a shame in Korean history.

He is recognized as the most incompetent king since the founding of South Korea.

During his reign, he wanted to build a warm house for the queen in winter, and he had to beg Prime Minister Gao Ling for permission.

However, Gao Ling not only did not agree, but he flatly refused on the grounds that "the emperor should share the joys and sorrows with the people and set an example for the world."

Ironically, Gao Ling himself enjoyed an extremely luxurious life. His palace was magnificent and he had thousands of slaves.

Just when she was full of thoughts!
The clear sound of horse bells broke the silence.

Yuwen Liqian and Du Hui looked in the direction of the sound.

A convoy was approaching slowly, with two eye-catching flags flying on the cars.

The red-bottomed three-star flag!
Beidou flag with black background!
They are the national flags of Qianyuan and Daqing.

The carriage slowly stopped near the pavilion across the bridge, and everyone looked at it for a moment.

The attitudes of Han and Da Chu have always been somewhat timid. After all, Qianyuan had led his army to attack the two countries and was in a state of panic all day long.

Yu Wenli's eyes turned slightly, unexpectedly!
The four countries of Da Chu, Qianyuan, Daqing and Han gathered together again.

Today's Daqing has been replaced by Yan.

The Qianyuan delegation was led by the famous prince himself.

The Daqing side is led by Xie Chunan, a man who is meticulous and cautious in his planning. He must have some agenda this time.

In addition to Bei Feng, envoys from four countries have arrived.

I just wonder if the King of Yan has come down from Mount Zhongnan?
Where are you now?
After Lu Chen was proclaimed emperor and gained full legitimacy, everything became different.

Although the other three kingdoms were resentful of the rise of Yan, they could do nothing about it. In their eyes, Yan had long been separated from Daqing's territory, and it just lacked a formal announcement.

Now, it is a foregone conclusion that the King of Yan will offer sacrifices to heaven and proclaim himself emperor. The northern land has been stable under the iron hoof of the Lu family army for more than 20 years and is no longer likely to be shaken.

Under the green pavilion beside the bridge!
The two teams of carriages slowly stopped and came together.

"Uu——"

The carriage leading the way had a red flag with three stars hanging high in its head. It was the majestic symbol of the Qianyuan Dynasty. The blue sun on the flag meant that the royal military family was at its peak and shining in all directions.

As the wheels slowly stopped.

An eight-foot-tall middle-aged man stepped out of the car. He looked to be in his forties.

He wore dark cloud boots, a gold belt and jade pendant around his waist, four dazzling gold patterns on his cuffs, and a black python embroidered robe. He had a profound, masculine and handsome face, deep eyebrows and eyes, and an aura of majesty without even being angry.

The third prince of the Qianyuan Dynasty and the undisputed leader of the twelve pillars of the army - Wulong.

He calmly stepped down from the carriage, glanced at the students from Da Chu and South Korea who had arrived, and then stopped.

Then, the door of the second carriage opened slightly.

An elderly official stepped out!
He was wearing a scarlet official robe, which was the unique institutional color of Daqing, and a black gauze hat with two ears. He was the leader of the Daqing delegation, Xie Chunan.

After Xie Chunan, a woman slowly stepped down from the carriage.

She was about thirty years old, with a beautiful face and extraordinary temperament. She was wearing a white dress that swayed in the wind, like a fairy under the moon, untainted by dust.

Her appearance instantly attracted the attention of the students around her, her temperament was different from other girls.

Gentle and bright temperament!
Even the Prince of Wulong took a few more glances at Xie Chunan's only daughter.

Xie Lingxuan!
She is nearly forty, but still extremely beautiful, as if she has accumulated all the wisdom and intelligence of heaven and earth, and as gentle as water.

When he was young, Daqing was pursued by countless disciples from wealthy families.

Even now, her charm is even greater than it was back then.

Three years ago, the Rouge List was announced in front of Baoyue Tower, and Xie Lingxuan topped the list and won the title of "Color A".

This list changes every year, and each of the ten people on the list is the most beautiful in the world.

There are so many beauties in the world that there are new ones every year.

but.

That's enough to prove its worth!
Beside Xie Lingxuan, there was a woman in a red palace skirt. She was Xie Lingxuan's cousin Su Yue. In the past, they had traveled to Mount Zhongnan together with the late Emperor of Daqing to pray for blessings at the beginning of the new year.

Times have changed!
Two years ago, Su Yue married a chivalrous knight despite her parents' objection, but things in the world are unpredictable.

The next year, her husband was caught cheating on her and keeping a "fox spirit". Su Yue was heartbroken and they divorced.

This experience made her disappointed in men in the world and she decided not to marry for the rest of her life.

This time, Yandi offered sacrifices to heaven and proclaimed himself emperor, and students from Daqing came to travel around Yandi, so Su Yue asked to go with them.

Let’s relax together!
With Xie Chunan's current power, it didn't seem difficult for him to place a woman in the diplomatic mission.

Wulong waited in front of the carriage, awaiting the arrival of Xie Chunan and his two daughters.

As students from Qianyuan and Daqing got off the bus one after another, several familiar faces came into view in the crowd, which was quite surprising.

The fat and thin scholars, since their farewell to the Yuetang Jiangshan Temple, have made a name for themselves in the capital of Daqing. They have passed the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy for further studies. They are about to enter the official career and have a bright future.

There is an old man!
The old man playing chess in the mountain temple, the master of Daqing Go world, Zou Lin.

They are all here representing Daqing.

Zou Lin looked at the Yan area around him with mixed feelings.

For decades, Daqing was afraid of the north wind and lost the north. Later, the Lu family army rose up and recovered the north.

Now there is the King of Yan. And now he is offering sacrifices to heaven and proclaiming himself emperor.

Zou Lin really felt that time passed in the blink of an eye and the world was unpredictable, but he naturally admired King Yan in his heart.

"Is this Wangshenzhou? The most important town in the south, outside Hulao Pass."

Wulong looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Your Highness Prince Sui, the further north you go, the more majestic the city becomes. This has been the case all along the way."

Lord Xie Chunan came closer with the two girls and echoed what he said:
"This city is second only to Hulao Pass!"

Wulong has been conferred the title of King of Sui, and although he is the third prince, he actually has enormous power.

at this time!
There were goshawks circling in the sky, and at the gate of Shenzhou City, several teams of cavalry captains, each with three men, were marching out in a well-trained manner.

Three people make a team!
Wu Long narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that our group has long been under the control of Prince Yan's Mansion."

Xie Chunan said: "It is said that there is a Luoque Army in the Lu family army, which uses hawks as spies to patrol the surrounding areas."

Wu Long smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. Shouldn't we call it Yanbei Army?"

Xie Chunan stroked his beard and said, "After being called so many times, I'll naturally get used to it."

"What's the difference between the Lu Family Army and the Yanbei Army?"

Wu Long nodded slightly, his eyes revealing his admiration for the team of three in the distance:

"The way these three people fight as a team is exactly the famous three-three system of the Lu family army. In the Battle of Breaking the North Wind, they defeated the larger force with a smaller one many times, which was an indispensable contribution."

"And the creator of this tactic was none other than the King of Yan, who derived it from a military book and used it among his soldiers."

Speaking of which.

Xie Lingxuan's eyes moved.

On the way north, the name I heard most was that of King Yan.

They also stopped in big cities along the way.

The customs of the people in Yan are very different, but they are extremely prosperous.

They had great respect and admiration for the King of Yan who practiced Taoism in Mount Zhongnan.

During this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in Yanjing, people from Yan area flocked to the city in an endless stream.

Many big cities were celebrating, with fireworks and firecrackers going off for days.

Xie Chunan looked at the teams of cavalry in the big city, wandering in the distance, and a goshawk landed on their shoulders.

As far as the eye can see, it seems to be here.

He stroked his beard and said in a deep voice:

"The prime minister must be from the state headquarters, and the fierce general must be from the army."

"This King of Yan came from the flames of war. Every decision he made was based on actual combat rather than empty talk. The Lu Family Army he personally created has gone through more than 20 years of trials and tribulations, and once had the momentum to swallow up the world."

Wu Long heard this and asked:

"Then according to Lord Xie, is the King of Yan a foolish ruler or a wise ruler?"

"Is it good or bad to ignore government affairs for ten years?"

The Daqing delegation led by Wu Long and Xie Chun'an met in Jiakang City. It was their first meeting and they felt that they had met too late.

Of course, this is only what he sees on the surface. Wulong knows that Xie Chunan's current status in Daqing represents half of the power of Daqing's aristocratic families.

Qianyuan and Daqing have been trading for many years, and they have adopted a united attitude towards Daqing.

Alliance!
This is also the reason why Wulong, the princess from South Korea, never showed up when she visited.

Qianyuan and South Korea will not have any intention of making friends.

The two are like fire and water, absolutely incompatible.

Xie Chunan thought about it and said something else.

"Back then, before the King of Yan became famous, when he had just come of age, I went to see him. Afterwards, it was Lingxuan's mother and I who discussed and decided on our in-law relationship."

"In my early years, I had already glimpsed the face of the King of Yan."

This seems to be the first time this matter has been mentioned.

Xie Lingxuan's face showed some surprise.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Long couldn't help but look at Xie Lingxuan a few more times. He saw how graceful and beautiful she was, and he secretly admired her in his heart.

Beauty like the moon!
Su Yue was also very surprised. She originally thought that the marriage between the Xie family and the Lu family was just a coincidence, but she never thought there was such a reason behind it!
She thought to herself that her uncle was truly a remarkable man of the time, not only proficient in divination but also skilled in the art of fortune-telling.

Better at "face reading and qi observation".

The accuracy of its predictions is astonishing.

Everyone in the streets and alleys knows about his "iron-mouthed predictions".

Thinking back to her wedding, Su Yue still feels cold.

Because of fear of his uncle's authority, the ex-husband did not even dare to step into the door of Xie Mansion, and was finally forced to come.

My uncle's simple words, "The bond is shallow but the love is deep, the peach blossoms are planted outside", came true.

This ability made Su Yue both respect and fear him.

At first she couldn't believe how such an honest "husband" could be like this.

You can know a person's face but not his heart!
Sad ending!
So when the Prince of Yan came of age, his uncle must have seen something.

She also became interested and pricked up her ears.

Wulong also joked:
"Thank you, sir, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly, did the King of Yan really have the aura of an emperor back then?"

It has been passed down orally among the people and recorded in history books that extraordinary people often have extraordinary looks.

For example, Wu Sang, the founding king of Qianyuan, had a mother who dreamed of a big sun falling into her belly when she was pregnant with him. When he was a teenager, he was different from ordinary people and had three nipples.

The creation theory of four nipples is a sign of a sage king, which is enough to show his extraordinaryness.

Xie Chunan heard this and said with a smile:
“Back then, I didn’t see the aura of the Son of Heaven.”

Xie Lingxuan was a little confused. Since her father mentioned this, he must have a purpose.

Xie Chunan said leisurely:
"To be honest, what I was worried about at that time was that I had so many children, but no one could inherit my legacy. That's why I wanted to find a good son-in-law to inherit my business."

"When I first met the young King of Yan, he had a very good appearance, was mature beyond his years, and possessed all five virtues. He was able to establish a clean family and be well-known in the county. If he entered the officialdom, he would surely be a good talent for governing the country."

After Xie Lingxuan heard this, she suddenly understood.
"But at that time, the King of Yan had just come of age, and was still young, with his eyebrows and eyes not yet fully grown."

"The following year, when the brothers left home to go to Mount Zhongnan to practice Taoism, I went to visit them again."

Xie Lingxuan raised her head slightly.

Su Yue was also looking forward to it.

Wulong stood with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for Xie Chunan's next words. He saw a small island in the river. There were people walking on it, and there were pavilions and towers, which was quite unique.

"Thank you, sir. What did you see this time?"

Xie Chunan gently adjusted the black official hat on his head, with an indescribable meaning in his tone:

"That time, I didn't see anything."

An unexpected answer!
Xie Chunan suddenly recalled that time in the Lu family compound, when his mother was reluctant to see her son off.

Xie Chunan opened the curtain in the sedan chair and looked at the two brothers.

The young man walking behind noticed the gaze in the sedan chair and turned back to glance at it indifferently.

Just see!
The boy's eyes are bright!
In the following ten years, the qi-gazing technique that Xie Chunan was so proud of disappeared, and it was not until he entered the capital of Daqing that it slowly recovered.

The emperor is looking for qi!
But I dare not look at the immortals in the sky.
