Learn from all schools of thought since the Qin Dynasty

Lu Yuan held Jingwei in his arms. She was already fast asleep with steady breathing.

Just now Lu Yuan also knew the third thing she wanted to say.

It turns out that the whereabouts of the master and disciple pair Duanmu Rong and Nian Duan have been discovered in the world.

A few days ago, the two appeared in Linzi, Qi State, and cured an old farmer.

Medical practitioners have always been on good terms with various schools of thought. This time they also received an invitation from the Taoists, and they will probably go to the Guanmiao Terrace on Mount Taiyi to witness the appointment between heaven and man.

Early the next morning.

The two of them were entangled and affectionate again until noon, when Jingwei left.

As soon as he returned home, a female disciple of the Yin-Yang School came to him.

"Elder, we have received news from our headquarters that Lord Dongjun wants you to come over."

"I understand." Lu Yuan walked towards the courtyard where Yue Shen and the others were.

When they walked into the yard, the four daughters of Ehuang had already gathered together.

Yan Fei glanced at Lu Yuan and threw the letter in her hand away.

"This was sent by His Excellency Dong Huang, take a look!"

The letter floated up and down in the air, and finally fell accurately into Lu Yuan's palm.

He was actually asked to represent the Yin-Yang School to watch the ceremony at the Taoist School.

Originally, Lu Yuan was still thinking about what kind of reason to choose to tell Ying Zheng that he wanted to leave Xianyang, but now it seems that this reason can be saved.

Lu Yuan slowly put down the letter in his hand and said, "Since His Excellency Dong Huang has already made arrangements, make good preparations and set off in two days!"

Although Taoism is also within the Qin territory, it is not too far from Xianyang.

But you always have to arrive a few days in advance.

……

Ganquan Palace.

King Ying Zheng of Qin stopped at the door and said, "I pay my respects to my mother. What do you want me to do?"

Zhao Ji's lazy voice came from inside.

"Is it my mother's Zheng'er who has come?"

"We are all family, don't just stand there, come in!"

The two maids at the door helped him open the door, and Ying Zheng stepped over the threshold and walked in.

Zhao Ji was seen sitting on a chair in gorgeous clothes, looking elegant and graceful, with a golden crown on her head.

Zhao Ji waved towards Ying Zheng, sighed, and a look of heartache appeared in her eyes.

"Come closer so I can take a better look."

"You, why have you lost weight?"

"I heard from people down there that you're so busy dealing with government affairs every day that you don't even take care of your meals."

"You are still young and have plenty of time. There is no point in being anxious about many things. Each generation can only do its own things. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it sooner or later."

Feeling the strong sincerity, Ying Zheng couldn't help but be moved, and consciously recalled the scene when the mother and son depended on each other in Zhao State.

At that time, Zhao Ji was his only support.

They were once the most affectionate mother and son, but now a rift is developing between them.

It really shouldn't be.

After all, what he did as his son was a dereliction of duty, and he felt even more guilty.

"What the Queen Mother said makes sense. I will correct it when I return."

Zhao Ji showed a satisfied look, pointed to the cushion beside her and said, "Sit down first!"

Ying Zheng nodded, walked to his seat and sat down.

Zhao Ji saw that the time was right and asked, "I have read some Taoist teachings recently and found them quite interesting. I also heard that the Taoists are planning to hold a heavenly meeting?"

“I wonder if this is true?”

Ying Zheng was puzzled as to why Zhao Ji brought up this matter, but he had indeed received news a few days ago. Taoism had an extraordinary status, so the Qin State naturally paid attention to it.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother."

"It is true. This heavenly meeting is a grand event held by the Taoists every five years."

"The Heaven Sect and the Human Sect will each send one person to discuss the Dao. The winner will be able to take possession of the Snowy Clear Sky, a token of the Taoist leaders of all generations."

Zhao Ji said, "It has been a long time since we, mother and son, have gone out together for fun."

"Taoist Taiyi Mountain is not far from Xianyang, why don't we take this opportunity to go there for a visit?"

"Come to think of it, I haven't left the palace for a long time. Although Xianyang is nice, it's hard not to get bored if you stay here for too long."

King Qin Ying Zheng said with a tangled expression: "This..."

This is actually not an excessive request. It is common for royal families from various countries to travel together.

The Qin State even held autumn hunting several times a year.

"What? Zheng'er doesn't even want to accompany me for fun now?" Zhao Ji looked unhappy, even a little aggrieved, as if she was accusing you of not agreeing to such a small request.

Ying Zheng quickly stood up and apologized, "Mother, please calm down. I am really busy lately. How about waiting until the next autumn hunt and then accompany you to travel around for a few days?"

He has been busy making plans recently to deal with Lu Buwei. How could he have time to leave Xianyang at this time?

There was silence in the hall for a while, and after a moment, Zhao Ji's sighing voice was heard from above.

"Ah... that's all."

"The burden of the entire Qin State falls on you alone. This is really difficult for you."

"That's it! Let Yuan'er accompany me instead of you. You won't refuse again, right?"

Ying Zheng's face lit up with joy, and he secretly sighed in his heart that Lu Yuan was simply his lucky star.

"If I don't agree to such a small request, I really don't understand the hard work of my mother."

"I will tell the Imperial Master as soon as I get back... Oh, it shouldn't be Brother Yuan who told me about this."

"I don't think he would refuse. The Taoist's battle between heaven and man is a grand event among all the schools of thought. As an elder of the Yin-Yang School, I think he would also go."

"It's a good opportunity for him to spend a few more days with the Queen Mother, and with him around, the Queen Mother's safety will be guaranteed."

Looking at Ying Zheng walking out, Zhao Ji changed her majestic look and lay sideways on a chair covered with a fur rug.

Her slender hand supported her chin, her eyes were blank, and the image of Lu Yuan appeared in her mind.

"What is the little master doing now?"

"I wonder if you miss me."

"Humph... With so many vixen around me, I must have forgotten everything."

……

In the quiet courtyard, Lu Yuan knocked on the door and walked in, and saw Li Ji looking sad in the courtyard.

Silently he walked up to her and said, "I heard from Lady Hu and the others that you are not in a good mood."

Li Ji looked up at Lu Yuan and shook her head. Suddenly tears flowed from her eyes. She covered her face and sobbed, "Thank you for helping me find out the news about my senior brother."

"It's just that he doesn't want to see me."

"I don't understand. We grew up together and were as close as siblings. Why did we end up like this?"

She recalled that during the day, Jing Ke scolded her through the door, calling her a traitor and saying she was not worthy of being a member of the Gongsun family.

I want to cut off all ties with her from now on.

It was so decisive and ruthless.

The only relative in the world was like this, and Li Ji almost collapsed.

Lu Yuan raised his hand and gently embraced Li Ji in his arms, comforting her: "He may have his own difficulties."

“Sometimes, even what is said in person may not be what is meant.”

Li Ji's body was trembling slightly, and her face was visibly flushed, but she acquiesced to Lu Yuan's hugging her.

There was no struggle.

The moonlight shone on the two of them, as if covered with a layer of silver light.

The two of them just stood quietly in the yard.
