Chapter 132: Two Suns in the Sky, the End of the Miscellaneous Family
When Jing Yang felt the suction, it was too late for him to escape.
Jingyang's feet almost left the ground, so he immediately dug his feet into the ground, and with the help of the grandmaster's will, he barely maintained his body shape.
However, Jingyang's figure still approached the black sun slowly and uncontrollably.
His feet suddenly turned into a plow, constantly turning over the soil.
Yang Yang could feel the high temperature at the edge of the black sun, which was enough to turn him into charcoal in an instant.
Jing Yang follows the path of military strategy, which emphasizes the variety of tactics and adapting to the situation.
Therefore, his Grand Master's intention allows him to blend into the surrounding environment.
Body shape, heartbeat, breathing, sense of existence, true energy...
He is like a chameleon that has given himself a protective color, but the effect is more advanced.
So once he becomes a killer, there is almost no room for error, but nothing is perfect.
The only thing his grandmaster intended was not to completely erase the faint scent of wine on his clothes.
This was Yang Yang's only flaw, and this only flaw became his death warrant at this moment.
At this moment, Yang Yang could feel that the surroundings were extremely quiet. The only sound of the quiet was the whistling wind brought by the suction of the black sun.
His eyes were fixed on the strange black sun in front of him.
The color of the black sun is completely different from that of the ordinary sun. It looks like the sun blocked by the moon during a total solar eclipse, with only part of the light faintly visible at the edge of the black sun.
The black sun emitted a powerful suction force, like an invisible giant hand, tightly grasping Jingyang's body.
He felt as if he was being pulled by a powerful force, getting closer and closer to the black sun.
He tried to struggle, but the force was so strong beyond his imagination that he could not resist it at all.
As Yang Yang gradually approached the black sun, he could clearly feel the high temperature released from the edge of the sun.
That scorching breath seemed to melt his entire body, making his hair stand on end and him extremely terrified.
He could smell his clothes burning, and the feeling filled him with a strong sense of fear.
Jing Yang knew that if he continued like this, he would probably be swallowed up by the black sun without leaving even a trace.
He clenched his teeth and tried his best to release all the energy in his body.
He waved his hands, and fierce palm winds slammed towards the black sun violently.
However, to his surprise, the moment those palm winds came into contact with the black sun, they were completely absorbed and had no effect at all.
Jingyang's heart sank, he knew that he was facing an unprecedented dilemma.
The black sun seemed to be mocking Jingyang's powerless struggle. It continued to release powerful suction and high temperature, pulling Jingyang step by step into its arms.
Jingyang's clothes began to turn into charcoal under the high temperature, falling off piece by piece, revealing his charred skin.
Jing Yang felt the physical pain and mental torture, but he did not give up.
He knew that he couldn't be swallowed up like this, as he still had unfinished missions and people he cared about.
He gritted his teeth and persevered, constantly trying various methods to resist the suction of the black sun.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the black sun seemed indifferent.
Its suction was getting stronger and stronger, and the temperature was getting hotter and hotter. Yang Yang's body could no longer bear it.
At this moment, a figure was sucked into the vicinity of the black sun.
When Jing Yang looked carefully, he found that it was Wei Yi who had been in a near-death state.
The world in front of Yang Yang suddenly went into slow motion. He clearly saw Wei Yi's body first turned into charcoal under the high temperature at the edge of the black sun, and then was sucked into the center of the black sun and disappeared.
Jing Yang couldn't help but take a breath, but soon he was unable to speak.
The powerful suction force emanating from the black sun causes the air to become thinner the closer you are to the black sun.
Jingyang can hold his breath for a very long time, but he cannot open his mouth while doing so, let alone speak.
At this time, Wei Liao and Guannei Hou had recovered their ability to move. The first thing they did was to run away, the farther the better. They even had to notify the soldiers outside to run away.
The impact range of the black sun is in front of it and on its left and right sides.
Therefore, Ying Zheng and Gongsun Ce who are standing behind the black sun will not be affected, but in addition to Jing Yang, there are also the soldiers on the periphery facing the black sun.
When Wei Liao and Guannei Hou brought Wang Ben to the periphery, the aftermath of the black sun began to spread here.
The long spears in the hands of the guards closest to Black Sun were sucked away by Black Sun.
The guards felt their hands were empty, and then they saw the long spear flying away.
Zhang Han's face suddenly changed, but he should not act without orders.
At this moment, Wang Ben, who was being carried by Wei Liao, suddenly shouted, "The whole army retreats!"
Zhang Han immediately stopped hesitating and issued a retreat order, "Withdraw three feet!"
The entire army retreated nearly ten meters and could still feel a slight suction.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Han gave another order, "Retreat another ten feet!"
At this time, the Guards had retreated more than 40 meters from their original position and could no longer feel the suction.
At this time, the power of the black sun exploded completely. The ground before the black sun suddenly sank, and large pieces of soil were sucked away.
The bodies of Pang Nuan and Guo Wei were sucked into the black sun along with their weapons.
Jing Yang was already at the end of his rope at this time. If the black sun had not suddenly exploded and sucked away a lot of things to share some of the pressure for him, Jing Yang would have been sucked in by now.
The word "Jing" originally means sunlight. When combined with the word "Yang", it can be said to be two Yangs in the same sky, which is an extreme Yang state.
A person of extreme yang dies on the black sun, which is a worthy death!
Jing Yang knew that he could turn the situation around with force, so he gave up holding his breath and also gave up resisting.
Jing Yang suddenly burst into laughter. "Wait a minute, Zhao Zheng! I'm just leaving first. I'll be waiting for you in Youdu (the world of the dead from Qu Yuan's The Summoning of the Soul)!"
When Jingyang completely gave up resisting, his body was attracted by the black sun.
The moment Yang Yang suddenly appeared around the black sun, his body began to carbonize rapidly.
In the absence of air, his body could not be fully burned and could only carbonize quickly under high temperature.
Afterwards, under the suction force, Yang Yang's body turned into carbon particles and was absorbed by the black sun.
Sensing that Jing Yang was dead, Gongsun Ce slowly withdrew the Black Sun. Removing the Black Sun was a technical job, and any carelessness could easily cause the Black Sun to collapse, which in turn triggered a high temperature storm.
So after Gongsun Ce withdrew the black sun, there was already a deep pit in front of the Ying clan ancestral hall, which was estimated to be more than thirty meters deep.
Moreover, this pit extends all the way to the feet of the outer guards.
If the complete Black Sun were to explode, its power would be even more terrifying.
It can only be said that Donghuang Taiyi's luck was really good. The black sun he faced was only a black sun with less than half of its power.
When Ying Zheng saw the big pit under his feet, he couldn't help but feel fortunate. He was glad that he had recruited Gongsun Ce, a master as powerful as a monster.
He was glad that he respected Gongsun Ce enough, otherwise, he didn't know how many lives would have to be lost to block this attack.
How many lives the Black Sun can evaporate in one breath is an unknown question that is worthy of study.
When Uesugi Yue used Black Sun, he faced countless Deadpools and Ghosttooth Vipers.
The soldiers of the seven countries all know some martial arts. Even if they have not reached the third-rate level, at least they have cultivated a certain amount of true energy.
It's a pity that the combat effectiveness cannot be quantified, otherwise Gongsun Ce might be able to calculate how many troops can be destroyed by this Black Sun.
Everything was settled, and Gongsun Ce felt that no other great masters from the six countries would suddenly jump out, so Gongsun Ce patted Ying Zheng on the shoulder and used the breeze to carry the two of them out of the Ying clan ancestral hall.
The moment he saw the Imperial Guards again, Ying Zheng had regained his usual dignity.
As Gongsun Ce brought Ying Zheng down, Ying Zheng immediately gave orders to Zhang Han and Wang Ben, "Notify General Wang Jian and General Meng Ao to arrest Lü Buwei and purge the court!"
"Yes!"*2
It takes a long time to return to Xianyang from Yongdi, but this is only for humans. Pigeons can return to Xianyang very quickly.
Almost at the same time when Wang Jian received Ying Zheng's order, Lu Buwei also received the news that Lao Ai's rebellion had failed.
Lu Buwei suddenly collapsed to the ground as if all his energy had been drained away.
At this moment, he knew very well that everything was over for him.
Lü Buwei stroked the "Lüshi Chunqiu" on the table in silence. Perhaps this book was the only one he could pass on.
The moon is dark and the wind is strong, the night is as dark as ink.
Wang Jian and Meng Ao led a hundred-tier armored army and quietly approached Lu Buwei's residence.
The lights in the mansion were dim, and beneath the seemingly calm surface, there was a storm lurking.
Wang Jian was wearing armor and holding a long sword, and he exuded a murderous aura.
He was fully aware of the importance of this operation and that he had to capture Lu Buwei and his entire family in one fell swoop to avoid any further complications.
Meng Ao had a serious look on his face. He followed Wang Jian closely, ready to deal with any possible changes at any time.
Following the order, the soldiers rushed into the mansion like arrows.
Suddenly, there was chaos in the mansion, with screams and shouts coming one after another.
Wang Jian and Meng Ao led the soldiers and advanced all the way to Lu Buwei's study.
The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and Wang Jian saw Lu Buwei with a dead look on his face.
Lu Buwei was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but he could not hide the deathly look on his face.
At this time, Lu Buwei no longer had the vigor and vitality he had before in the court.
He stroked the bamboo slips of "Lüshi Chunqiu" in silence.
Wang Jian sneered and questioned Lu Buwei.
"Lü Buwei, do you admit your guilt?"
"What crime have I committed?" Lü Buwei said hoarsely, recounting his contributions to the Qin State, "I welcomed back the former king, recovered the land of Zhou, and assisted the young lord.
Which one of them is not a great contribution to the Qin Dynasty? I am innocent!"
Wang Jian approached Lü Buwei and spoke slowly, "You sent Lao Ai to the Queen Mother Zhao and made him powerful. It was you who gave Lao Ai the opportunity."
Lü Buwei laughed bitterly and stopped arguing. He pointed to the Lüshi Chunqiu on the table and said, "Please give this book to the king."
Wang Jian nodded, "That's natural."
Meng Ao commanded the soldiers to capture Lu Buwei's family members one by one.
After a while, Lu Buwei's entire family was brought before Wang Jian and Meng Ao.
At this time, other ministers who were openly on good terms with Lu Buwei were also arrested one after another.
Those ministers who were on the surface on good terms with Lu Buwei originally thought that they could escape this disaster by relying on their status as important ministers, but they did not expect that Ying Zheng had already given orders.
Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is too monotonous to only target Lu Buwei.
They were pulled out from their hiding places one by one and brought before Wang Jian and Meng Ao.
Seeing these ministers who were once powerful now like dogs that have lost their homes, Wang Jian couldn't help but feel a sense of grief.
As the only one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period who spent his later years in peace, Wang Jian knew better than anyone else the ruthlessness and suspicion of a king.
Meng Ao's health is getting worse day by day, and he will be free soon.
Moreover, his grandson Meng Tian was the young general most trusted by Ying Zheng.
If nothing unexpected happens, the prosperity of the Meng family will last for a long time.
While Wang Jian was in good health, his grandson Wang Li did not enjoy the trust of Ying Zheng, and the future of their Wang family was worrying.
However, Wang Jian probably didn't expect that their Wang family would be the one that prospers forever in the future.
Until the Tang Dynasty, the Taiyuan Wang family, which was derived from their Wang family, was still one of the five surnames and seven families.
As the last minister was arrested, the whole of Xianyang gradually returned to peace.
Wang Jian and Meng Ao stood in the courtyard, looking at the mess on the ground and the prisoners being escorted, and they couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Wang Jian knew that although the storm had subsided temporarily, the struggle in the court would never stop, so he had to be more careful.
And Meng Ao's rewards should be coming soon, a noble posthumous title, an honorable title and other rewards.
Wang Jian suddenly felt that Ying Zheng had grown up. For Meng Ao, it was the last battle before death, but for Wang Jian, it was a wake-up call.
Although they were acting together, the gains of Meng Ao and Wang Jian were very different.
But in Wang Jian's heart, Ying Zheng, who had grown up, was hesitant. He stood outside Zhao Ji's bedroom and dared not enter.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath, walked to Gongsun Ce who was watching the show not far away, and grabbed Gongsun Ce's wrist.
"Sir, can you give me some advice?"
Gongsun Ce admitted that he was indeed using the Word Spirit and Hypnosis to give Ying Zheng psychological hints to strengthen Ying Zheng's trust in him.
However, the trouble between Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng is a family affair. What good ideas can Gongsun Ce have?
Gongsun Ce remembered a case: there was a boy who was born with intellectual disability. His father died when he was very young, and he had been dependent on his mother ever since.
One day, her mother was coaxed by her lover to kill him. At first, the boy resisted until his mother was handed over to help.
The boy completely lost the will to resist.
The situation feels very similar, but Ying Zheng is not a fool, and he will not lose his consciousness of resistance just because Zhao Ji helped Lao Ai.
But, because he is not a fool, he feels even more painful and confused.
Gongsun Ce understood his struggle, and he could only pat Ying Zheng's wrist, "You have to face it. If you are afraid of damaging your reputation, just lock him up and never see him again."
Matricide was a serious crime in that era, and even a king could not kill his mother at will.
