Chapter 55: Chapter 026 King
Yanjing.
In the imperial palace.
Liu Jin and Huo Guang are currently meeting with the Emperor of Yan.
"King Zhao of Zhao State, you really dare!" There was anger in the eyes of the Emperor of Yan.
"Slap!"
With a slap, the Emperor of Yan smashed the tea set on one side.
"King Zhao of Zhao State has carved out a territory and openly declared himself emperor and established the State of Zhao? You really have a lot of nerve!" Liu Jin also said in a deep voice.
"Huo Guang, when your men went to chase after the Zhao family, did they seize the relics of the poison master?" Suddenly, the Emperor of Yan turned his head and looked at Huo Guang.
"Well, we got some of them. But from the captured members of the Zhao family, we learned that King Zhao of Zhao State also took away some!" Huo Guang nodded.
"Oh? Where are the things?" The Emperor of Yan's eyes lit up.
Huo Guang stared at the Emperor of Yan and shook his head. "Sorry, these things are left for the prince to deal with. Let's wait until the prince finishes his game!"
The Emperor of Yan stared at Huo Guang, his eyes were gloomy for a moment but soon recovered. He smiled slightly and said, "Naturally!"
"Emperor of Yan, may I ask if the forty-two cities in the northern border of the State of Zheng have been delivered?" Liu Jin asked.
Liu Jin no longer addressed him as 'Your Majesty'. The Emperor of Yan also noticed the problem in Liu Jin's words. He was just annoyed in his eyes and did not object.
"According to the carrier pigeon report, the State of Zheng is quite cooperative!" The Emperor of Yan nodded.
"That's good! Everything is developing as the prince imagined." Liu Jin secretly let out a breath.
While the three were talking, suddenly there was a furious shout from outside.
"Yan Chuan, you come out!"
The thunderous sound rolled and echoed throughout the imperial palace.
The expressions of the three changed. They all walked out of the main hall.
In the high sky, at this moment, there are two huge bats circling. On each bat, there are four people standing.
One of them is the 'senior brother' who was captured by Feng Shui Poison not long ago.
Standing on the bat and circling in the air. Everyone looked coldly at the area below.
Soon, they saw Huo Guang. After all, Huo Guang was by Yan Chuan's side last time.
"It's you? Where is Yan Chuan?" The senior brother in green robe shouted.
"I am the Emperor of Yan. Who are you people?" The Emperor of Yan stepped to the front.
"Emperor of Yan? Fine. The forty-two cities in the northern border of the State of Zheng have been handed over to you. Now, release my junior brother and the crown prince of the State of Zheng!" The senior brother in green robe shouted.
"Release people?" The Emperor of Yan looked at Huo Guang.
"No way. We are detaining them on the prince's order. Unless the prince gives an order, no one can release them!" Huo Guang immediately shouted.
"Hmm?" The Emperor of Yan raised an eyebrow and his face became ugly.
But Huo Guang is only loyal to Yan Chuan. Without Yan Chuan's order, naturally he dare not release them now.
"Then where is Yan Chuan?" The senior brother in green robe shouted.
"The prince is playing chess. Wait until the prince finishes his game! The prince is resolute. Without an order, no one can give an order on behalf of the prince!" Huo Guang said in a deep voice.
"Playing chess? Humph, did something happen to my junior brothers? Release my junior brother. Otherwise, we will massacre Yanjing today." The senior brother in green robe shouted.
"Oh? Massacre Yanjing? Dan Qingzi, you are so bold. Is this Marquis Mu Ye's intention?" A provocative voice came.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
...
Eight figures instantly soared into the sky. After a few jumps, they reached the top of a palace in Yanjing. Standing on the eaves of the palace, they glared at the eight people on the bats.
"Jiu Jiansheng, it's you?" Dan Qingzi said in a cold voice.
"It's us. Can't you talk nicely? Standing on the bat, do you think you are taller? Who are you showing off to?" Jiu Jiansheng said disdainfully.
"It was Yan Chuan who broke his promise. The State of Zheng has already returned the cities. Why haven't you released people yet?" Dan Qingzi said in a deep voice.
"Did Yan Chuan say he wouldn't release them? Waiting for the time of a game of chess is nothing, right?" Jiu Jiansheng said disdainfully.
"I don't care. I want to see my junior brother now!" Dan Qingzi drew his long sword and shouted coldly.
"Clang!"
Jiu Jiansheng also drew his Changqing sword. "Yanjing is not a place for you to act wildly!"
When the two sides were on the verge of a fight, in the distance, another purple figure slowly rose and flew towards where everyone was.
"Miss Zi!" Jiu Jiansheng and others immediately became solemn.
At first, Dan Qingzi and others didn't know who this woman was and still drew their swords. But when the woman got closer.
"Ah, retreat quickly!" Dan Qingzi's face changed greatly and he exclaimed in shock.
The two bats immediately flew away. After flying far away, Dan Qingzi looked at the woman in purple with panic on his face.
"Miss Zi, Miss Zi, Miss Zi, why are you here?" Dan Qingzi said with fear.
"I am not as highly cultivated as you. What are you afraid of?" Miss Zi said faintly.
"Don't dare, don't dare. In front of Miss Zi, what are we?" Dan Qingzi said with a smile from afar.
"In that case, let me say a word!" Miss Zi said faintly.
"Miss Zi, please speak!" Dan Qingzi said carefully.
"Your junior brother has been captured. You have waited for so many days. Waiting until Yan Chuan finishes his game should be nothing, right?" Miss Zi said faintly.
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Dan Qingzi changed his previous attitude.
Below, Huo Guang looked at the sky strangely and then whispered in contempt to Liu Jin. "This guy, why does he look so despicable?"
Liu Jin smiled slightly and secretly let out a breath. "Anyway, it's best if it doesn't disrupt the prince's plan!"
"Hmm." Huo Guang nodded.
"Jiu Jiansheng, where is Yan Chuan playing chess?" Miss Zi thought for a moment and said.
"Apparently at Xingluo Villa." Jiu Jiansheng immediately said.
"Well, okay. Waiting here is also waiting. Let's go and take a look." Miss Zi thought for a moment and said.
"Fine." Jiu Jiansheng responded.
"Senior, let me lead the way for you." Liu Jin immediately stepped forward and said.
"Oh? Eunuch Liu? Fine." Jiu Jiansheng immediately smiled.
...
Another month and a half later, at Xingluo Villa.
In the billowing white mist, Yan Chuan and Yi Feng are playing chess.
"Reascend to the Ninth Five!" Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.
"Slap!"
Another piece landed on the Ninth Five position again.
"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
...
In the sea of clouds, Yan Chuan's army shouted long live. The huge momentum was directly pressing towards the sea of clouds territory controlled by Yi Feng.
"Another Ninth Five Supremacy?" Yi Feng said with a gloomy expression.
This time, the Ninth Five Supremacy is different from last time. At least it's not like last time when it was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. But it still has a slight advantage in momentum.
Yi Feng held a white piece between his index finger and middle finger and was about to place it on a key point on the chessboard. But this piece couldn't be placed no matter what. It seemed that there was a huge force preventing him from placing it.
"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
...
The noise around made Yi Feng frown deeply.
"Whoosh!"
Yi Feng put the white piece back into the chess bowl and stopped placing pieces.
"This game of chess has reached this point. You should understand what's on your mind now, right?" Yan Chuan smiled.
Looking at Yan Chuan, Yi Feng's eyes were complex. He gently shook his head. "What guarantee do you have? What you said has never happened before. How can I trust you?"
"Think about your life. With such high intelligence, you like learning but you are not obsessed. Otherwise, you would definitely write books and enter the Imperial Academy. But you didn't. You are just the Grand Tutor. Do you like power? I don't think so either. As the Grand Tutor, you arranged the 'chess pieces' of the State of Yan and expanded the territory of the State of Yan by a whole time!
"Double the territory. This is not wanton plundering. But you also have to consider the old ancestors of the immortal sects above the surrounding states. You have not only played against four states. At the same time, with your intelligence, you have also played against five immortals. Making them completely unaware. Or because of your means, they have no temper about this at all! Immortals? So what if they are immortals?"
"You enjoy it. You like this kind of laying out the world. You like this kind of manipulating chess pieces and setting up the game in all directions!"
Yan Chuan stared firmly at Yi Feng.
"I like it, but it's not enough. You haven't convinced me enough!" Yi Feng stared at Yan Chuan and said.
"Not enough? Then I'll give you another reason why you must stay and help me!" Yan Chuan smiled.
"Oh?"
"Chen Feitian!" Yan Chuan smiled slightly.
"Hmm?" Yi Feng's eyes narrowed.
"I heard Liu Jin say that Yi Lin accidentally let it slip. You have a 'Flying Heaven Hall'. To commemorate your deceased wife, all the furnishings in the hall are in pairs. You care a lot about this Chen Feitian, right!" Yan Chuan smiled.
"So what if I do?" Yi Feng said in a deep voice. Obviously, he didn't like others talking about Chen Feitian.
"If that's the case, it's easy. Julu Academy is just an academy after all. It's only in the mortal world. In fact, you want to enter a sect that practices feng shui more. Because powerful feng shui masters can even travel between the yin and yang realms!" Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.
"Travel between the yin and yang realms? Is it really possible?" Yi Feng's expression immediately showed anticipation.
"It is possible to travel between the yin and yang realms, but there is also a prerequisite!" Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.
"Oh?"
"After people die, they may not necessarily turn into ghosts and enter the underworld. There is a greater chance of their souls being scattered and everything being over. Do you know?" Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.
"I don't care. If I die in this life, then so be it. If I don't die, I will definitely go to the underworld!" Yi Feng said in a deep voice.
"Haha, you think it's simple. Feng shui masters traveling between the yin and yang realms is not an easy thing either. Not to mention taking others with them? Are your birth date and constitution suitable for being a feng shui master?" Yan Chuan smiled.
Yi Feng frowned.
"Julu Academy can't give you what you want, but I can. As long as Chen Feitian turns into a ghost, in the future, I will definitely send you to the underworld! Because in my immortal kingdom, all rivers flow into the sea. All under heaven is the king's land. All within the seas, on the shore of land, are the king's subjects! Feng shui masters must also be subjects! Now help me and conquer a vast territory. There will be a large number of feng shui masters helping you open up the road between yin and yang. Even my immortal kingdom can extend to the underworld and command all ghosts and look for Chen Feitian for you. How about it?" Yan Chuan said again.
Yi Feng stared at Yan Chuan in astonishment.
"How can I trust you?" Yi Feng's expression changed constantly.
Seeing Yi Feng's changing expression, Yan Chuan knew he was about to succeed. After two months of hard work on this game of chess, he was finally going to persuade Yi Feng. Otherwise, Yi Feng's expression would definitely remain unchanged.
Yan Chuan smiled slightly and held the bottom of the chessboard with his hand.
"Slap!"
With one hand, he overturned the chessboard. The pieces immediately scattered all over the place.
"Boom!"
In the sky, dark clouds rolled and a large number of thunderbolts crashed down.
The rolling thunderbolts splashed the lake water everywhere. But under the thunderbolts, the mist slowly dissipated.
On one side, Yi Lin stared at the chessboard with wide eyes.
"This game of chess isn't over yet!" Yi Lin shouted.
But neither Yi Feng nor Yan Chuan cared.
It was just a game of chess. If it was overturned, it was overturned!
As the rolling mist dissipated, it slowly revealed the scenery around the lake.
At this moment, there were already more than a thousand people surrounding the small lake.
All the chess kings, Meng Rongrong and her five companions, King Dugu of Swords, Yan Wudi, the Emperor of Yan, Huo Guang, Liu Jin, the eight people including Dan Qingzi, the eight people including Jiu Jiansheng, Miss Zi.
And behind Huo Guang, there were nearly three thousand Jinyi troops.
After leaving for more than two months, all three thousand Jinyi troops had returned.
"Pay respects to our king!" Three thousand Jinyi troops bowed respectfully in unison.
On one side, the Emperor of Yan's face changed. King? Not prince? He hasn't abdicated yet!
The Emperor of Yan was angry, but still suppressed his anger.
"How did it go?" Yan Chuan stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the three thousand Jinyi soldiers.
"Click! Click! Click!"
Nearly five hundred Jinyi soldiers each took out a box from behind. The boxes were slowly opened, revealing bloody heads inside one by one.
"The emperor, royalty, and officials of the State of Chu. Here are their heads!"
"The emperor, royalty, and officials of the State of Han. Here are their heads!"
"The emperor, royalty, and officials of the State of Wei. Here are their heads!"
The Jinyi soldiers reported.
"What?" The Emperor of Yan immediately exclaimed.
The emperor, royalty, and officials' heads? The Emperor of Yan knew that the Jinyi soldiers had gone out to do something and had just returned. But no one expected it to be this. Was this the destruction of three dynasties? The three dynasties on an equal footing with the State of Yan were all destroyed?
The Emperor of Yan couldn't believe it. But he was too familiar with the portraits of these heads.
The Emperor of Yan had already overestimated the power of the Jinyi troops. But he didn't expect the Jinyi troops to be so terrifying. In these two months, they had actually rushed to the capitals of the three states and killed all the highest authorities of the three states?
On the other side, Dan Qingzi also looked at these heads in astonishment. At the same time, looking at Yan Chuan also made him feel a chill. Yan Chuan's insults in the past were still vivid in his memory.
"He wasn't scolding me. He was serious?" Dan Qingzi felt a chill in his heart.
"These five hundred people made decisions on the military and politics of the three states. Over the years, they have caused nearly half a million soldiers and civilians of our State of Yan to die. Now, they are all executed. Do you think you can trust me now?" Yan Chuan smiled.
Facing everyone, Yi Feng closed his eyes slightly as if immersed in the final psychological struggle.
"Yi Feng, since the chess game is over, it's time to give me an answer!" On the other side, Meng Rongrong said in a deep voice.
