Chapter 263 This world is filthy again
Yan Dan, Yan Chunjun and Yan Wangxi occupied the C position, and the rest of the Yan royal family were on both sides.

At the front of the convoy, someone was reading aloud the charges against the three men.

"Yan Dan's ten major crimes: Crime 1: forming a clique for personal gain and plotting rebellion.

The second crime: fleeing the State of Qin as a hostage, triggering a war between the two countries.

Crime three: using public power for personal gain, misappropriating state treasury, and cultivating retainers for oneself.

Crime 4: Abuse of power and releasing serious criminals from prison without permission.

Sin five...sin ten..."

After the ten charges against Yeon Dan were read out, the charges against Yeon Chun-gun continued to be read out.

Compared to Yan Dan's ten charges that were pieced together, Yan Chunjun's charges, if broken down, numbered close to a hundred.

If I were to read aloud the specific deeds of Yan Chunjun, it would probably take several days.

They raped women, seized good farmland, killed people for fun, and even killed court officials...

Compared with Yan Chunjun, King Xi of Yan had fewer specific deeds, but his crimes were not small.

Misappropriation of the national treasury, nepotism, replacement of generals at the last minute...

If Yan Chunjun was a parasite, then King Xi of Yan could be considered a king who ruined his country.

As the charges against the three men were read out, Da Tiechui and Gao Jianli, who were hiding in the dark, could no longer hold back.

Yan Dan had done them both a favor, so the two of them came spontaneously to rescue Yan Dan. On the way, they also met many of Yan Dan's followers.

If you count carefully, there were hundreds of Yan Dan's followers hiding on the way to the final destination, the Yan Palace.

I can only say that the reputation of respecting the wise and being benevolent is really useful.

Going back further, King Tang of Shang appointed Yi Yin, and King Wen of Zhou appointed Jiang Ziya...

To talk about more recent ones, Mengchangjun Tian Wen, Pingyuanjun Zhao Sheng, Chunshenjun Huang Xie, Xinlingjun Wei Wuji, the so-called Four Princes of the Warring States Period, were also selling related personalities.

Then those who have a little ability will get close to them, fighting for a future and leaving their names in history.

Therefore, the only idea of ​​these retainers was to rescue Yan Dan, revive the Yan Kingdom, and leave their names in history.

However, they were unable to do so. The reason was simple: were all of Yan Dan's followers really loyal to him?
If Jueying can sneak up on Yan Chunjun, why can't other Luowang killers sneak up on Yan Dan?

Compared with Yan Dan, who plays the role of a hostage among the top players in various countries, Jueying, the Luowang killer, is more like a local tyrant.

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and Yan Dan is not even a strong dragon.

With Jueying's cover-up, Yan Dan couldn't find any problems with the retainers around him.

On both sides of the street, the crowds watching were discussing the crimes of the three men.

The Qin army's cavalry lined up on both sides, their armor shining, their spears like a forest, and the atmosphere was solemn and murderous.

Just as the parade was about to end, the members of the Yan royal family were sent back to the Yan royal palace for detention.

Hundreds of men in black swooped down from both sides of the street like ghosts.

The leader, Gao Jianli, raised his sword high and shouted angrily, "Brothers, save the prince!"

Following Gao Jianli's roar, the men in black rushed towards the prison van like a tide.

Da Tiechui clenched his two hammers and rushed to the front, ready to clear the way for the brothers behind him.

The Qin soldiers were not at all frightened by the sudden attack. When they saw someone trying to rob the prisoners, they immediately raised their spears and formed a battle line to meet the enemy.

For a moment, the streets were filled with the flashing of swords and the sound of killing.

Before the big iron hammer could rush out and kill any Qin army, it was stopped by Wei Zhuang.

"Qiang!"

The hammer in Da Tiechui's hand suddenly avoided Wei Zhuang's shark-tooth sword and held it firmly.

"It's quite powerful, but trash is still trash." Wei Zhuang glanced at the big hammer. His eyes were so cold that the big hammer couldn't help but be startled.

Wei Zhuang has already entered the middle stage of Grandmaster, and his power is extremely powerful. With the blessing of Grandmaster's power, the so-called power of the big iron hammer that can defeat thousands of men is just a joke.

Wei Zhuang only held the shark-tooth sword in one hand and easily blocked the hammer of the sledgehammer, and the shark-tooth sword didn't even deform at all.

"Ah!"
The big iron hammer kept roaring, and both hands held the hammer and pressed down madly, but Wei Zhuang remained calm, as if the shark-tooth sword was just a feather.

"Not enough!" Wei Zhuang shook his head, "Weak."

The next moment, Wei Zhuang shook his wrist, and the true energy and intention of the grandmaster's mid-stage realm burst out, shaking away the iron hammer of the big iron hammer.

"laugh!"

Wei Zhuang did not use any sword moves. The moment the big hammer was shaken away, he used the blade of the shark-tooth sword to wipe across the big hammer's throat.

"Uh uh uh... plop!"

Datiechu didn't even have time to cover the wound on his throat. The moment he fell to the ground, he completely lost his life.

The shark-tooth sword was flashing red light at this moment, and it swallowed the blood of the sledgehammer like a living thing.

Gao Jianli's swordsmanship was extremely sharp. With just a slight swing of his sword, he could cut off the spearheads of several Qin soldiers' spears.

However, the Qin army cooperated well, and all Gao Jianli could do was to cut off the gun tips to ensure that the Qin army's lethality to his teammates was reduced.

"No!" Gao Jianli glanced inadvertently and saw the big hammer lying dead on the ground, "Damn it!"

Gao Jianli immediately broke away from the Qin army around him, and lightly stepped on the ground, stabbing straight towards Wei Zhuang like a sharp blade.

"Interesting." The more Wei Zhuang improved his realm, the more he could feel the unfathomable strength of Gongsun Ce.

Therefore, Wei Zhuang's life ambition has changed from defeating his senior brother Gai Nie to catching up with Gongsun Ce's level.

However, Wei Zhuang felt that he was still no match for Gai Nie at the moment, so how could he catch up with Gongsun Ce?

So even though Gao Jianli, the half-step grandmaster, had already mastered some sword skills, Wei Zhuang was still somewhat uninterested in him.

"Hundred Steps Flying Sword!"

Wei Zhuang whispered the name of the sword move, then threw out the shark-tooth sword.

The sword energy surged, as if transforming into a white dragon, tumbling in the air and attacking Gao Jianli.

Gao Jianli's figure flew into the air at this moment, just to stab Wei Zhuang with the strongest sword in his life and avenge his good brother Da Tiechui.

Suddenly, a white dragon of sword energy came from the sky, and he could only swing the sword in his hand to try to resist the fierce sword energy.

However, the sword energy was as ferocious as a white dragon, and it instantly swallowed Gao Jianli's sword.

When the white dragon and the long sword intersected, it seemed as if time froze at that moment.

Under the impact of the shark-tooth sword's sword energy, Gao Jianli's sword began to tremble violently, making a sharp metallic whine.

Then, the sword seemed unable to withstand the tremendous force and began to gradually crack from the tip of the sword.

In an instant, the sword turned into countless pieces, blooming in the air like fireworks.

The fragments fell like a meteor shower, and the fragments fell to the ground with crisp impact sounds.

Gao Jianli felt a huge force coming and pushing his body backwards.

But he did not give up. He gritted his teeth, used up all his energy, and rushed forward. Even though swords were flying, he still had this energy.

However, the moment his true energy surged out, it was like a drop in the ocean and had no effect at all.

The white dragon continued to roll in the air, rushing towards Gao Jianli. He took a deep breath, preparing his body to meet the final attack.

"Boom!" A loud noise was heard, and the white dragon instantly swallowed Gao Jianli.

Gao Jianli only felt a sharp pain, as if his body was torn apart.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the shark-tooth sword had pierced his heart.

He felt his life slipping away quickly, but he had no fear or regret.

"What a good sword!" Gao Jianli exclaimed with his last bit of strength.

His gaze turned to Yan Dan on the prison car, his eyes full of guilt.

He wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.

In the end, he could only helplessly drop the sword in his hand and let his body fall backwards.

Before Gao Jianli closed his eyes, the last scene he saw was the men in black falling down one after another.

However, these men in black did not die at the hands of the Qin army, but were stabbed in the back by their own people.

Just as Gao Jianli and Da Tiechui launched the charge, the rest of the men in black also rushed towards the Qin army recklessly.

They seemed to cooperate well, covering each other and continuously launching attacks on the Qin army.

In fact, most of the men in black were paddling.

In other words, out of the hundreds of men in black, only about forty of them were rushing towards the prison van recklessly.

Under the fierce attack of more than forty men in black, the Qin army's formation did not loosen.

"Do it!"

Following Jueying's order, most of the men in black who were paddling suddenly showed their sharp fangs.

These people raised their weapons and attacked their companions behind them without hesitation.

It all happened so suddenly that the unsuspecting men in black had no time to react.

They only felt a sharp pain in their backs, followed by a stream of warm liquid flowing out.

They looked back in horror, only to see that their former companions had become bloodthirsty enemies, their hands dripping with their companions' blood.

"Betrayal! This is betrayal!" a man in black roared angrily, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the screams around him.

The rest of the men in black fell into chaos. They didn't understand why this happened, but the threat of death was imminent.

Seeing this, the Qin soldiers raised their weapons and launched a fierce attack on the men in black who were in chaos.

Amid the flash of swords and sabers, the men in black fell one after another.

Their bodies were covered with wounds and blood dyed the entire street red.

Those companions who were originally loyal to Yan Dan have now become their most deadly enemies.

The Qin army soldiers took advantage of the situation and killed the struggling men in black one by one.

Jueying stood aside, observing all this coldly.

There was no expression on his face, as if all this was within his expectations.

The sword in his hand was still pointing at the ground, but the tip of the sword was already covered in blood.

If, even with the cooperation of the traitor and the battle-hardened armored soldiers, they still cannot wipe out this group of Yan Dan's followers, they should all be dragged out and fed to the dogs.

"Mission accomplished." Jueying said calmly, "I will record your merits. Take Yan Chunjun away and attract the rest of the anti-Qin forces." "Yes!"
The voices were uniform, and Jueying nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment in Wei State, a similar thing was happening, except that the bait was replaced by the token of Xinling Jun Wei Wuji.

Jingwei once gave Wei Wuji's "Yan Wuji" jade ornament to Gongsun Ce.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce ordered Wang Ben without any hesitation to find a young child of the Wei royal family to wear the "Speak Without Limits" jade ornament.

In this way, this child could be used as the orphan of Wei Wuji to attract anti-Qin forces within the Wei State.

Wei Wuji had more face than King Jingmin of Wei, so Wang Ben easily killed several groups of anti-Qin forces.

Strictly speaking, this group of people may not all have anti-Qin intentions, but they are loyal to Wei Wuji.

In other words, once someone started a rebellion under the name of Wei Wuji, they would be transformed into an anti-Qin force.

It is better to kill these people in advance to avoid trouble in the future.

Xianyang, Taiwei Mansion.

Gongsun Ce read the intelligence sent by Yan State and Wei State in his study and frowned.

The Yan State was fine. There was no movement after Yan Chunjun was rescued.

However, the situation in Wei State was quite lively, and few people knew about Wei Wuji's token.

However, there were many people who had received favors from Wei Wuji, and many of them were opportunists, so Wang Ben could be said to have killed a group of people every day.

Gongsun Ce put down the information and walked out of the study. He looked up at the sky and found it was cloudless as expected.

There was no snow this winter, so it was still relatively warm, but no snow doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.

Gongsun Ce stretched lazily and released his spiritual power to scan the seven countries.

Later, Gongsun Ce found a loli named Dog Chong Chong outside the Taiwei Mansion, and a big loli attending a class in Tongming Academy outside Xianyang.

Gongsun Ce tilted his head. These two lolis looked very similar, and they had a similar aura of the state of unity between man and nature, but they did not have any power at all.

Gongsun Ce suddenly thought of a record in the Yin-Yang School classics, which was a record about the concept of God.

People believed in the existence of the Nian monster, so the Nian monster appeared.

People believed in the existence of a locust god, so the locust god came into being in the world.

These so-called conceptual gods are very similar to beings who have achieved the state of unity between man and nature through the power of legend.

The only difference is that one absorbs the power of legend and transforms from a human into a god.

The other is the natural evolution of the power of legend.

After the Qin world was downgraded, these beings no longer had the ability to appear in the world, because the world did not have the ability to materialize them.

It is as if the gods of the Moon World have entered the inner sea of ​​the stars. They are in another dimension instead of disappearing completely.

However, if the Qin world continues to degrade, they will indeed gradually weaken.

At that time, even if the world is restored, they will not be able to appear in the world, and can only return to the world to be conceived again.

But the ones who are reborn are naturally not the original ones.

Just as there is a person named Ying Zheng in the distant future, it does not mean that he is the Ying Zheng that Gongsun Ce knows. They are just people with the same name but different cores.

Gongsun Ce took a step forward and walked outside the Taiwei Mansion, where he found the seven or eight-year-old loli who was intercepted by the Jingshen Formation.

"Who are you?" Gongsun Ce looked at Nian in front of him and thought of Nian and Xi in the pendulum world.

"I am Nian, I am..."

Xi and Nian are conceptual gods born for the world.

It absorbs all the foul air, bad luck, and dirty air of the year at night.

When the end of the year arrives, Nian will find Xi, purify the dirty energy in Xi's body and take over Xi's job, fulfilling his identity calling. This is New Year's Eve.

After the New Year, Xi will become the New Year of the next year.

And the year will turn into the eve of the next year and begin to wander over the earth, absorbing the polluted air.

However, if Nian does not find Xi, Xi will still be Xi in the next year, and the two will not exchange identities.

However, if this were to happen, Xi would have to endure the torture of the foul air for another year.

This can be regarded as one of the world’s self-purification mechanisms, and also a warning from the world to mankind.

Because before the appearance of firecrackers, Xi was indeed in the form of a beast, while Nian could maintain human form.

By now, the fear of the Nian beast has gradually disappeared, and Xi will not turn into a wild beast and go crazy because of absorbing too much dirty air.

Gongsun Ce nodded, agreeing with Nian's statement, but he felt that there was something wrong with Qin Shi Tiandao, so the encrypted call was started.

Gongsun Ce: Oh my God, next time these things appear, can you please give me a heads up?
Qin Shi Tian Dao: Squeak!

Gongsun Ce: Kneel down! ())
Qin Shi Tian Dao: Wait a minute, the appearance of Nian and Xi means the Locust God will appear soon, so take care of yourself.

Gongsun Ce cut off the encrypted call and rubbed his brows. Just as he expected, the locust plague next year will be unprecedented.

"I know who you are, so can you help me find Xi? I need to find her and purify the dirty air in her body." Nian's tone was a little anxious.

"Sisters love each other deeply." Gongsun Ce thought about it and naturally understood why Xi was hiding from Nian, "This world is filthy again."

Years of war, evil spirits, resentment, foul air, bad luck, and death... are endless.

Xi must have absorbed a lot of dirty air, and she wanted to bear the suffering for her sister.

Gongsun Ce took a look at Nian, who had black hair in two ponytails, delicate facial features like a doll, a small red jacket, and a pair of small leather boots.

Gongsun Ce felt like he was seeing a dress-up doll.

"Come with me, I will take you to find Xi." Gongsun Ce took Nian's hand and stepped out of Tongming Academy.

At this moment, Xi was eavesdropping on the lectures in Tongming Academy.

Xi's appearance is not much different from Nian, it is simply an enlarged version of Nian.

Nian looked seven or eight years old, and Xi looked no more than eleven or twelve years old.

"There are hinges on the mountains, and elms on the marshes. You have clothes, but they do not drag or hang. You have carriages and horses, but they do not run or drive. You are dead, but others are happy.

There are castanea on the mountain, and yokes on the ravine. You have a court, but you do not sprinkle or sweep it. You have bells and drums, but you do not beat or examine them. If you are dead, others will protect you.

The mountains have lacquer, the marshes have chestnuts. You have wine and food, why don't you play the harp every day! And enjoy yourself, and prolong your days. It's like he's dying, and someone else has entered the room. "

This is "The Book of Songs·Tang Feng·Shan You Shu", which satirizes the miserly aristocratic rule, emphasizes that talent is wealth, and is also the New Year song.

To put it bluntly, this is a poem that can be sung during the Chinese New Year.

Because it also means that talent is wealth, it can also represent that after working hard throughout the year, you can enjoy some light enjoyment.

Xi listened attentively. Both Xi and Nian wanted to listen to some poems related to the Chinese New Year.

"Xi, sister." Nian suddenly called Xi at this time.

When Xi saw Nian and Gongsun Ce, he wanted to run away immediately.

When she was still Xi, she could travel around Kyushu easily, so she avoided the years.

However, in front of Gongsun Ce, this so-called lightning speed was just that.

Gongsun Ce raised his hand and drew the character "井", and a divine symbol with two horizontal and vertical lines suddenly took shape in the sky.

The next moment Xi found that she was unable to use the speed that she was proud of, and she had even lost her ability to move.

The well character fell slowly, and Xi's body became increasingly stiff.

The closer the well character is to Xi, the stronger the suppressing force.

"Sister, why?" Xi looked at Nian, her eyes full of pleading, "I just don't want you to bear my pain, am I wrong?"

"Alas!" Young sighed, "Xi, our fate has already been determined. If you can't bear the filthy air, you will return to heaven and earth.

Afterwards, you will be conceived again, and during the time you are conceived again, I will be the only one to bear the dirty air.

Xi, I don't want you to forget me, and I don't want you to return to heaven and earth. Let me purify the dirty air for you, okay?"

"Hiss!" Xi suddenly groaned in pain and curled up on the ground. Bursts of black gas emerged from her body from time to time.

However, before the black air could leave Xi's body, she suppressed it back.

"Xi!" Nian saw Xi in pain and immediately rushed to Xi's side, "I'm here, hold on."

"Don't go over there." Gongsun Ce raised his hand to stop Nian. "Your sister is a good actress. If she really couldn't suppress the filthy air, it would have dissipated long ago.

How is it possible that it is like this now, about to escape Xi's control, but unable to completely escape Xi's control? "

"Tsk." Xi pouted in dissatisfaction, then stood up as if nothing had happened, "People like you must have no friends."

"Who am I? Can't you see? The laws of nature are unchanging, and I can't take the lead in violating them." Gongsun Ce shrugged.

Xi rolled her eyes and said, "But you can find loopholes. Haven't you found loopholes before?"

Gongsun Ce asked back: "How can the work of the Heavenly Dao Agent be considered as taking advantage of loopholes? This is called reasonable use of the rules."

evening:(_)
"You can let me be purified by Nian, but you can only outrun me!" Xi rolled her eyes and looked at Gongsun Ce seriously, "Do you dare to compete with me?"

Gongsun Ce looked at Xi, whose eyes kept flashing with cunning, and shook his head and said, "Naive. How can an old man like you be so naive? Tell me, have you been possessed by another spirit?"

"Who are you calling old? I'm not old!"

“Oh my,” Gongsun Ce shook his head. “You are almost old enough to be an ancient god, and you still say you are young? However, since you want to be tortured, I will do as you wish.”

After saying this, Gongsun Ce untied the character "井", and Xi suddenly felt relieved.

"Lululu." Xi, who was untied, made a face at Gongsun Ce, then she moved quickly and disappeared from Gongsun Ce's sight in an instant.

"Childish ghost." Gongsun Ce activated his infinite magical power and also disappeared on the spot.

Xi kept looking back while running, but she didn't see Gongsun Ce, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

Anyway, as long as Gongsun Ce can't catch her, her sister won't have to endure the pain of swallowing dirty air next year.

As for what will happen next, she didn't think too much about it. If she can hold on, she will continue to hold on. If she can't hold on, she will take a year off and then continue to hold on.

She could be miserable, but her sister couldn't.

She crossed the fields, crossed the mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at the city of Daliang.

She thought she was far enough away to escape Gongsun Ce's pursuit.

However, when she stopped to catch her breath, she found that Gongsun Ce was already standing in front of her.

"Come and drink some water." Gongsun Ce's voice was very calm, and no emotion could be heard.
