Chapter 480 Yin Yang Family Heavenly Group
To the surprise of Cheng Jiao and Ying Zheng, after Zhao Ji told the matter directly, Lu Buwei did not seem to have any strong emotional fluctuations.
Ying Zheng was the first to lose his temper, "Prime Minister Lu, thank you for taking care of me back then. If you can cooperate with me, I will ensure that your entire family will be rich and prosperous."
At this moment, he sincerely hoped that Lu Buwei could cooperate with him, and he also sincerely hoped to keep him rich and powerful and would not go back on his word.
Life is only a few decades long, and he really doesn't want to waste time recovering from Qin's wounds due to internal strife.
When Lu Buwei heard this, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
He risked his life and escaped from the State of Zhao with Ying Yiren.
He outsmarted other princes and persuaded Yiren to recognize Queen Dowager Huayang as his mother.
Everything is thrilling. If you are a step late, you will be shattered and exit in disgrace.
Fortunately, God blessed him and allowed him to reach the other side of the river safely.
But now, he has to face the original scene again.
But this time, he is the biggest backer and cannot take advantage of the situation.
In the face of Cheng Jiao's absolute strength, all his plans lost their original meaning.
The best outcome would be his death and the loss of the Qin State.
Lu Buwei did not quite believe Ying Zheng's promise.
This is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period that Confucius talked about, and he is not a three-year-old child. Compared with making promises, he would rather come up with some real conditions that will prevent the King of Qin from taking action against him easily.
Lü Buwei did not answer Ying Zheng directly, but said: "My daughter has come of age, and it is time for her to choose a good husband. Last night, my daughter and I talked by candlelight. She has admired Chang'an Jun for a long time and hopes to marry him. I wonder if the king will agree."
In fact, he wanted to marry Niang Rong to the King of Qin, but Niang Rong's words were full of Cheng Jiao, and he was worried that he would make things worse. In addition, Ying Zheng was the King of Qin, so even if they became relatives by marriage, it was possible that his clan would be exterminated.
After much thought, only Cheng Jiao, who was against him, was more suitable. He was also from the royal family and was highly valued by the King of Qin. In addition, he had martial arts that were unrivaled in the world. It was no exaggeration to say that he was invincible in the world.
Cheng Jiao was a little confused. What was wrong with Lu Buwei's brain? Why did he just give his daughter to him?
Ying Zheng paused and said, "Prime Minister Lu, Lord Changping is ready to marry his eldest daughter Mi Lian to Cheng Jiao, so..."
He was in a dilemma. Although Changping Jun had some thoughts during this period, he was still the leader of Queen Dowager Huayang. Queen Dowager Huayang also agreed to marry Mi Lian to Cheng Jiao.
Lu Buwei said indifferently: "I know, but Your Majesty, do you know that Lord Changping came to see me privately not long ago?"
Ying Zheng's face became serious: "Why did he come to you?"
"It's not a big deal, but he is just saying that he wants me to stay as Prime Minister for a few more years."
"What does he want to do?" Ying Zheng was unhappy. He knew that Changping Jun had some ulterior motives, but he didn't expect that he had already started to have an affair with Lu Buwei.
"Changping Jun didn't say."
Lu Buwei did not say much, and he did not know what Changping Jun's purpose was. But based on his many years of experience in officialdom struggles, it was not difficult to see that Changping Jun had bigger plans, and it was not just as simple as wanting to be a prime minister.
But he said nothing, leaving it at that, leaving Ying Zheng to guess.
Ying Zheng was a little undecided. Was Lu Buwei or Changping Jun trustworthy? It seemed that neither was trustworthy.
He couldn't help but look at Cheng Jiao, "Cheng Jiao, what do you think?"
Cheng Jiao was a little speechless. This was the bad thing about the royal family. They couldn't decide their own marriages. The choice of who to marry as a wife depended on the opinions of their elders and brothers, especially when their brother was the king of Qin.
Fortunately, he won Zhao Ji, otherwise, he might have been arranged clearly.
"Brother Wang, there is no evidence for this matter. Why don't we see what the Prime Minister does?"
Cheng Jiao wondered in his heart, could it be that the King of Chu promised something in the secret letter to Changping Jun?
In his opinion, unless the King of Chu gave the throne to Changping Jun, it would be impossible for Changping Jun to think of betraying Qin at this time.
But now it seems that Changping Jun's mind is indeed restless.
Lu Buwei glanced at Cheng Jiao. This young man was a little scary. He was so powerful, yet so cautious. Fortunately, he didn't have any other thoughts.
Ying Zheng thought about it and realized that it was true.
"Prime Minister Lu, regarding Cheng Jiao's marriage, I still need to discuss with Queen Mother Huayang and Lord Changping. However, I can guarantee that if you are really willing to help me with all your strength, I will agree to this marriage in advance."
He felt that instead of letting Cheng Jiao and Changping Jun become relatives, it would be better to win over Lu Buwei.
During these days, he deeply felt the strength of the Chu faction in the court. Although it was weaker than Lu Buwei's faction, it was more deeply rooted.
If Changping Jun were to ally with Cheng Jiao, it would probably be even more difficult for the Qin royal family to get rid of the influence of the Chu faction for hundreds of years.
……
Cheng Jiao and Lu Buwei left the palace together.
Lü Buwei said calmly, "Lord Chang'an, you don't seem to want to marry my daughter. Is it because she is not good or because she is ugly?"
Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "Your daughter is both virtuous and talented, and has unparalleled beauty. How could I not want her?"
He just didn't want to give up a forest for a little girl, but he didn't mind marrying her at the same time.
Lu Buwei said, "That's good."
If Niang Rong hadn't been talking about Cheng Jiao all the time, he wouldn't have wanted to say these things in front of Cheng Jiao. It was too embarrassing.
As for whether Cheng Jiao would get married or not, he was not worried.
Since both Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji agreed, Cheng Jiao had to marry her even if he didn't want to.
He was too lazy to think about it now, and just hoped that Cheng Jiao was really as good as Niang Rong and Meng Niang said. He knew that he was doomed to fail, and it would be difficult for Niang Rong to leave Qin, which was why he chose to take a gamble.
Cheng Jiao watched Lu Buwei leave.
This old Deng almost succeeded.
It’s still too “dangerous” in Xianyang. If you’re not careful, you might get married!
Cheng Jiao once again secretly thought of running away from home.
When he returned home, he suddenly found that some of the maids in the house looked familiar.
Yan Fei and Zi Nu walked over slowly.
Cheng Jiao asked casually.
Zi Nu said softly, "Zi Lan Xuan has been disbanded. I'll give money to the sisters who want to stay outside, and I'll listen to what you said before and keep them in the mansion as maids and backyard guards."
Cheng Jiao suddenly realized that he had mentioned before that the women trained by Zilanxuan were all very skilled.
Yan Fei smiled and said, "The mansion is still a little desolate, so I also brought some female disciples from the Yin Yang School with me. Do you mind, young master?"
Cheng Jiao laughed and said, "The Yin-Yang family is ours now. I don't mind if you bring everyone from the Yin-Yang family with you."
At this point, Cheng Jiao asked, "Donghuang Taiyi has been killed by us. Do you plan to succeed the position of the head of the Yin-Yang family?"
Yan Fei shook her head: "I said, I have no interest in this position."
Then he coughed lightly: "Junior sister, come here."
The Moon Goddess was still wearing a short azure robe and walked over gracefully.
"Greetings, Master Cheng Jiao." This time she submitted to Cheng Jiao from the bottom of her heart. The scene of Cheng Jiao stepping on the void and his palm turning into thunder last night left a deep impression on her. Only a man like this could make her willing to be submissive.
The ones who performed the same ceremony as the Moon Goddess were Ehuang and Nvying. After the Moon Goddess' temporary guidance the previous night, the sisters had no choice but to accept and live in Cheng Jiao's mansion, serving Cheng Jiao together with the Wood Chief Elders Hei Bai Shao Siming.
The benefit that Lady Moon Goddess promised was that Cheng Jiao would be able to resolve the hidden dangers in their martial arts, so that the sisters would not have to kill each other.
That was why he was willing to stay. He had no grudges, nor did he dare to have any grudges. Didn't he see that Lord Dongjun and Lady Yueshen had already followed? Not to mention that Cheng Jiao killed Donghuang Taiyi with a single palm last night, which shocked them no less than Yueshen.
Cheng Jiao nodded slightly and said, "I will leave the Yin-Yang School to you. Where are all the disciples of the Yin-Yang School now?"
The Moon Goddess said calmly, "Since Donghuang Taiyi came to Xianyang more than two months ago, the remaining disciples in the Yin-Yang family have arrived one after another. Now only Yunzhongjun and Xiangjun are guarding the Yin-Yang family headquarters. I plan to move the Yin-Yang family headquarters to Xianyang so that I can do better for you, young master."
After finishing speaking, Moon God smiled and said, "These two are Madam Xiang, the elder of the Water Department of Yin-Yang Clan. Young Master, you have seen them last night. I believe they are familiar with each other. Today, Moon God has specially sent them to you. I hope you are satisfied. From now on, they will stay with you and wait for your orders."
Yan Fei, who was standing aside, had a slight smile on her pretty face.
Ever since there were a lot of women in the mansion, and they were powerful women at that, she felt a strong sense of crisis.
First, there were the killer sisters led by Jingwei, and then there were the Korean sisters led by Zinu.
What’s more, Meng Niang and Nian Duan who came later were both in the realm of heaven and man who were not much worse than her.
But she was fearless. As Dong Jun of the Yin-Yang Family, she had many capable people under her command, enough to secure her position as the master of the harem.
But just in case, she chose to follow the advice of the Black and White sisters and her junior sister, and kept Madam Xiang and Xiaoyi, the female disciple of the Wood Department who was regarded by Donghuang Taiyi as the next Shao Siming, as a guarantee of her position as the main wife.
Cheng Jiao glanced at Ehuang and Nuying who were very respectful to him, and couldn't help but sigh that the Moon Goddess, who was conquered by him, was really considerate.
The Moon Goddess was very pleased to see Cheng Jiao, and her red lips moved slightly.
Hearing the message from the Moon Goddess, Cheng Jiao nodded slightly. It was not difficult to solve the cultivation problem of the sisters Ehuang and Nvying. If it really didn't work, it would not be a big deal to just abandon them and start cultivating again.
Before Cheng Jiao could say anything, Da Siming and the Black and White sisters came over.
The black and white sisters looked at each other. They had heard Lord Dongjun say before that Cheng Jiao had returned.
Naturally, they did not forget what Cheng Jiao had told them, and wanted to meet the female disciple of the Mu department.
Cheng Jiao looked at the girl following behind the black and white sisters.
She has a delicate and cute appearance. Compared with Zi Nu's purple hair, her purple hair is lighter in color. She wears a light white floral short skirt, purple stockings on her straight legs, a pair of purple flat shoes on her feet, and a translucent white veil on her pretty face. She looks extremely charming and lovable.
The Black and White sisters explained to Cheng Jiao, "She is Xiaoyi, a female disciple of the Wood Department. She is extremely talented and is one of the Five Spirits. She is also the one that Donghuang Taiyi wants to appoint as the next one to replace our Wood Department elder."
When Zi Nu saw that the courtyard was full of people from the Yin-Yang School, she said goodbye to Cheng Jiao and went to help Cheng Jiao comfort the group of sisters who were still unaware of the situation.
Cheng Jiao asked curiously, "Where is she from?"
The black and white sisters were suddenly stunned: "I don't know."
Cheng Jiao asked Xiao Yi: "Where are you from?"
Xiaoyi shook her head.
Black and White explained: "She can't speak."
Cheng Jiao nodded slightly, not surprised.
Then he asked Yan Fei Yue Shen: "Do you know her life experience?"
He had some suspicion that Xiaoyi was someone arranged by Taoism to work in the Yin-Yang School, but he felt that it was unlikely.
"I don't know, I just know that she is the next Minister of the Wood Department appointed by the Emperor Taiding."
The Moon Goddess answered softly. Compared to her senior sister, she knew more about the situation of the Yin-Yang Family.
Cheng Jiao looked at the expressionless girl. Apart from her lively eyes, there was nothing special about her.
"Come here and give me your hand."
He wanted to see why Xiaoyi couldn't speak and didn't even have any expression. He could tell that it wasn't that Xiaoyi didn't want to speak or have any expression, but that she couldn't speak or laugh.
Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment, then obediently handed her hand to Cheng Jiao. Her white wrist was as white as snow, and her little hand was icy cold.
Cheng Jiao held the soft little hand and used his spiritual power to enter Xiaoyi's body.
After some investigation, nothing was found to be wrong. He was in good health, even more normal than ordinary people.
"strangeness……"
Cheng Jiao whispered, somewhat puzzled.
Yan Fei said softly: "I have read in the classics of the Yin-Yang School that Shao Siming is a fierce and evil position. Although the martial arts he practices are powerful, it is easy for him to die early."
Upon hearing this, the Black and White sisters remained silent, as they had already known about this.
But since following Cheng Jiao, these side effects have gradually faded.
Cheng Jiao pondered and said, "I heard that Shao Siming's martial arts is not to transform qi into strength, but to transform soul into qi. If the soul is scattered, life will die!"
The Black and White sisters responded, "Yes, sir, but we sisters are now able to control it by using the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow. The cost of exchanging souls for energy is already negligible."
The Great Sima Ming was still cold and beautiful, "It's because of the young master's spiritual power."
The black and white sisters said in unison: "Not bad."
They had eaten a lot of good things given by Cheng Jiao and gained a lot of spiritual power.
They felt very comfortable being nourished, and their previous hidden dangers were gradually resolved, giving them the possibility to make further progress.
On the side, Ehuang and Nuying, who had not yet integrated into the situation, exchanged a slight glance. It seemed that the reason why Lord Dongjun became a celestial being, and the reason why Da Siming and Shao Siming became stronger, was probably related to Cheng Jiao.
The Moon Goddess' beautiful eyes lit up slightly. It seemed that Cheng Jiao had abundant spiritual power. No wonder her senior sister made a breakthrough so quickly. She had to find a chance to communicate and exchange more with Cheng Jiao in private.
Cheng Jiao pondered for a moment, then said to Xiao Yi, "Look into my eyes."
He had a guess that Xiaoyi might have some problems with her soul, just like Master Nian Duan who forcibly broke through to the heavenly realm and injured his soul.
After checking, he found something different. Xiaoyi's soul power was very strong, almost the same as Queen Li Huan. Even though she had not yet become a celestial being, she possessed a soul power that was no less than that of a celestial being.
Compared with the sequelae of Queen Li Huan, Xiaoyi's problem is that she can't speak and can't express her emotions freely. Ultimately, Xiaoyi's soul is somewhat defective.
It is not obvious at first, but the ability to speak and talk will be exposed after the age of ten.
This discovery made him feel a little embarrassed, as it was not easy to make up for a congenital defect.
After thinking about it, Cheng Jiao decided to put it aside for the time being and see if he could find a corresponding solution in the Yin-Yang Longevity Method.
After looking at his women in the courtyard, Cheng Jiao said slowly, "It just so happens that you are all here. From now on, the Yin Yang Sect will be handed over to Yue Shen to manage. Yue Shen will be the next leader. You can just notify the various departments of the Yin Yang Sect about this matter."
Seeing that the women had no objection, Cheng Jiao left here accompanied by Yan Fei.
He wanted to see what had happened to the academy, papermaking and printing techniques because of Old Man Ban.
