Four days is a short time, but it is also enough to cause many changes. For example, the old man who came to visit Mr. Yao now. Although he did not tell his identity, Cheng Zhiyuan could know this old man from the guard beside him.

of extraordinary.

Who can let a person with ten levels of spiritual practice be used as a personal guard?

Cheng Zhiyuan saw through the real skill of the guard, but he did not say it out loud. The old man looked at Cheng Zhiyuan twice when he came, as if he was confused that there was someone else in the small courtyard.

The old man and Mr. Yao went to the house, and the guard followed him in. Mr. Yao glanced at him, but didn't say much, just nodded. Cheng Zhiyuan naturally didn't dare to go in, so he was about to go out to buy food, but

Unexpectedly, Mr. Yao stopped and said to him: "You come in too."

Cheng Zhiyuan was a little stunned, but he quickly followed in. The old man's eyes were focused on the ground, and the guards around him were not squinting. It was not until Cheng Zhiyuan stood next to Mr. Yao that the two old men held a bar stool for each other.

Sitting figuratively on the edge of the dye vat.

Some steaming clouds and mist rose up and were dispersed by the cool rain and smoke outside. The cold and heat merged, and the wind began to form a tidal whirlpool, making small water droplets everywhere and covering the beams and pillars of the house.

"I didn't expect you to actually accept a closed disciple."

"Not a disciple, just someone who entrusts me with swordsmanship."

"Entrusting me with swordsmanship...that's an interesting way of saying it."

The two old men did not say any more polite words when they met. After expressing his initial surprise towards Cheng Zhiyuan, the visiting elder began to talk about state affairs with Mr. Yao, and after Cheng Zhiyuan listened for a while, he guessed with some amazement.

his identity.

Pingyuanjun Zhao Sheng.

Historically, he lived eleven years after the Battle of Changping. Therefore, according to the magnified time line that is a multiple of a thousand years, although Zhao Sheng is not a saint, he still has at least a hundred years to live.

But Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly discovered that even so, Zhao Sheng's age was still much older than what he had guessed before. Could it be that the Battle of Changping, which was originally calculated to take place around a thousand years ago, would be greatly advanced?

No, no, my calculations were wrong.

Cheng Zhiyuan sighed in his heart. Some things cannot be studied carefully after all. Although the timeline is still following the direction of another piece of history, many people in it are no longer the same, so some major events may not happen, and they may not follow their own path.

The direction in memory.

For example, it seems that Zhao Sheng did not take up the post of prime minister after the death of the previous King Zhao. Instead, Lin Xiangru, who was supposed to be critically ill, was still actively assisting the current King Zhao.

For example, the fall of the Zheng State was a thousand years ago. Of course, the so-called Zheng State's power did not disappear, so this is still in line with the historical trend to a certain extent. However, the war between the Yue State and the Wu State was suppressed until after the Zheng State's demise.

There is obviously a problem.

Or is it because Tianli is about to collapse?

Cheng Zhiyuan thought about this aspect inexplicably, and the conversation between Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Yao had also entered a critical part.

Mr. Pingyuan, who had white hair all over his head but still looked energetic and still looked somewhat graceful, said seriously: "Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony. According to past practice, the sacrifices will be held by Heaven and Earth, the Eight Gods, the Three Emperors, the Yellow River, Luoshui, and Santu Mountain.

....."

"Lin Xiangru asked me to go to court to persuade Zhao Dan to expel the Huns junior. I think he was a little too hasty, but it is really not a good thing for the Huns to stay in Handan. The beacon fires at Yanmen are still there, and the waves of swords and soldiers on the Great Wall are overwhelming, but the Huns If you want to talk, I have to talk to him, why?"

Zhao Sheng's voice was very calm, but there was an unquestionable domineering tone in it: "Although it is said that some things should be either not done or done to the end, but it also depends on the timing. If the timing is right now, I will I will not advise Zhao Dan to expel this junior, but tell him directly that you should chop him to death on the spot in the main hall."

Mr. Yao looked playful and said: "Zhao Dan has the talent to govern the country, but he is not able to do what he wants. He has a good character, but he is not enough to be a wise king. He is not as good as King Wuling and King Huiwen, but he is not a dim-witted king."

Zhao Sheng exhaled and his expression shone brightly: "I am very eager to make contributions. This is a big hidden danger. The opportunity lies in the heart of the king and not in the words of others. If he is determined to do it, I will kill him three inches away." What’s the use of the tongue?”

The old man turned his hands and said: "I have disciples and disciples all over the Zhao Kingdom. Zhao Dan doesn't think he is wary, but he still treats me with great importance, even to the point of sealing a country within a country. If I say anything rashly, he will definitely be suspicious of me." Yes, of course it doesn’t matter to me, who is about to be buried, but I have to think about future generations.”

Mr. Yao didn't take it seriously: "He made you a country in China just to check and balance you. This guy is very smart. If you are a little abnormal, he can take you down with the crime of treason and then eliminate your disciples." Guli, eliminate your influence in Zhao State. Of course, if you work for him wholeheartedly, he will naturally be happy to use your disciple Guli."

Zhao Sheng shook his head: "Of course I know what he is thinking. Although his skills are immature, his kindness and power have been shown, which is pretty good. I have no objections and naturally have no fear. So when the sacrifice ceremony starts tomorrow, I would like to ask you to help me." busy."

He pointed to the empty sky above Handan.

Mr. Yao smacked his mouth: "How dare you say this about cutting off Handan's Dragon Qi? Such a stupid move..."

Zhao Sheng smiled:

"In Handan City, all the saints dare not cut off this dragon spirit, for fear of reversing the situation and harming their bodies, but you can...according to the procedure, the Huns junior will definitely show off his force in the main hall tomorrow. You must know that the Huns are not here to invite you. They are here to negotiate for peace...or, in other words, to persuade them to make peace."

Those with superiority can negotiate for peace, and those with inferiority can also negotiate for peace. Obviously, the Huns now think that they are superior and want to get more benefits, so they sent people here.

"In the dark wilderness of the north, the Huns are like wolves; in the west are Qingxuan, and Lao Qin is like tigers; in the east are Yunling, and swallows are like vultures; in the south are dragons and earth, and Chu is like fishermen."

"It is extremely dangerous when tigers and wolves are looking around, and eagles and fishermen are looking far away. If you are not careful, the disaster of national destruction is right in front of you."

Zhao Sheng responded to Mr. Yao: "Since I want to temporarily extinguish Zhao Dan's ambition, I plan to seize Zhou Long and turn it into a dragon. If I do this, I will surely attract a group of snakes to bite my bones."

"Let him give up this idea fundamentally, but at the same time, we can't let the Hun junior be too arrogant. As an envoy, he must make a heavy promise. Therefore, it coincides with Zhao Dan's thoughts. The more eager he is to make achievements, the more It’s possible to agree to things that you can’t usually agree to.”

"So, when that young Xiongnu is showing off his martial arts or making remonstrances, you can cut off the dragon's energy, kill the dragon's head and throw it away. This will make Zhao Dan understand that Handan's dragon's energy is unstable and it is fashionable to overstep the mark at this time.

Good morning, with all the five sense organs admonishing each other again, Zhao Dan will suddenly realize what the problem is..."

"At this moment, no matter how chatty the Xiongnu children are, they will not be believed by the king. In this case, they can be driven away."
