Chapter 267: Sympathy for one's own kind, greed is like me

Fusu opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with excitement and gratitude.

But there were also regrets. After all, he didn't know how long it would take him to practice and reach the state of half-step unity between man and nature.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Gongsun Ce: "Thank you, Mr. Gongsun! Without your help, I am afraid it would be difficult for me to reach this level."

Gongsun Ce waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, this is the result of your own persistence. Others may not be able to endure this kind of torture-like training method. But this is not enough, take my Tianwen Sword."

Gongsun Ce threw the Tianwen Sword to Fusu, and used the "Kun" magic talisman to adjust the gravity to about twice. The starting point of the gravity multiple was too high, and Gongsun Ce was afraid that Fusu could not hold on.

Fusu caught the Tianwen Sword with excitement, then he staggered and was almost crushed by the Tianwen Sword.

Gongsun Ce said with some evil interest: "This sword is my sword. From now on, you will practice with this sword until you reach the state of half-step unity between man and nature.

If you want to find me, you can call my name towards this sword. I can sense it. Also, take care of this little girl. "

Gongsun Ce patted Ying Yinman's head. Ying Yinman looked at Gongsun Ce in a daze, as if she didn't understand what Gongsun Ce meant.

After Gongsun Ce's hand left Ying Yinman's head, a red light flashed above Ying Yinman's head, and the word "protect" flashed above Ying Yinman's head.

When Fusu saw this, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, but he was the only student of Gongsun Ce, and that was enough.

"The martial arts are over, now it's time for the intellectuals. Fusu, this time I won't test you on the Lunyu, but on something else."

Gongsun Ce carried Ying Yinman and Fusu into the study.

The layout of Fusu's study has not changed at all, except that the "De" sword hanging on the wall has a more bloody smell.

"Did you use it to kill someone?" Gongsun Ce took off the "Virtue" sword with one hand and looked at it closely. This ordinary iron sword was very different from the previous one. "Who did you kill?"

Fusu recalled for a moment, then replied: "Assassins, spies, traitors, defenders... too many, too many, I can't remember them all."

Wang Ben had Gongsun Ce's instructions, so naturally he would not let Fusu enjoy the good life.

Wang Ben was different from his father Wang Jian, he was still quite courageous and dared to let Fusu be the executioner and execute these people personally.

If it were Wang Jian, he would never let Fusu go on a killing spree, because Fusu was more powerful than his master and needed to discredit himself to reduce the possibility of being held accountable later.

But Wang Jian didn't know that Gongsun Ce was planning to use him to death.

Retirement? No way!
After the six kingdoms are gone, it is necessary to clean up the anti-Qin forces. After the anti-Qin forces are gone, the Ever Night world will almost be integrated into the Qin world.

Southern Jin, Dahe Kingdom, Yuelun Kingdom, Tang Kingdom...all these countries in the Jiang Ye world must be conquered.

Therefore, neither Ying Zheng nor Gongsun Ce would let Wang Jian retire.

Wang Jian is old? That's nothing. Gongsun Ce still has Tongtian Pills. Giving Wang Jian one pill will revive him to full health and allow him to live longer.

Even if the Tongtian Pills are used up, Gongsun Ce can still refine them again. Having had two experiences of refining Tongtian Pills, Gongsun Ce no longer needs the assistance of the alchemy furnace.

All you need is enough medicinal materials, and once the alchemy array is opened, you can start wholesale directly.

"Isn't this sword too light?" Gongsun Ce took off the scabbard with one hand and pulled out the "Virtue" sword. "I feel like you won't be able to use it well."

"Sir, it is indeed a little lighter."

After Fusu finished speaking, he looked at Gongsun Ce with a bit of embarrassment, a bit like a child asking for candy.

Gongsun Ce smiled and asked Fusu, "Do you still want to use the sword?"

"Of course I did." Because you also use a sword.

These are the words Fusu did not say out loud. In his mind, there are two people he can emulate, one is Gongsun Ce and the other is Ying Zheng.

One is a mentor, the other is a dear father.

"Little Yin Man, let me show you something fun." Gongsun Ce said with interest.

When Ying Yinman heard Gongsun Ce's words, her eyes lit up and she clapped her hands, "Great, great..."

When Gongsun Ce raised his hand, a five-pointed star alchemy array instantly formed on the ground beneath his feet.

The four corners are earth, fire, water and wind, symbolizing the mutual generation and restraint of the four elements. The top corner is the spiritual element, symbolizing that the spiritual element governs everything.

This time, there seemed to be something extra in the alchemy array. There was a small word "炼" (Refine) on the corner representing the fire element.

And in the pentagram alchemy array, there were more words jumping, but they were a little blurry.

This is a reflection of Gongsun Ce's own abilities, representing the beginning of the alchemy array combining with Gongsun Ce's personal abilities.

This can be regarded as one of Gongsun Ce’s gains during this period. It is a bit like recording abilities and then generating them automatically.

For example, the word "炼" actually refers to alchemy.

Gongsun Ce took a deep breath and threw the "De" sword in his hand high up.

The "De" sword drew an arc in the air and then fell accurately into the center of the pentagram alchemy array.

As the "Virtue" sword fell, the light of the entire alchemy array suddenly became dazzling.

Gongsun Ce began to mobilize his spiritual power, controlling the spiritual elements to mobilize the four elements.

His spiritual power surged into the alchemy array like the water of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, the word "Confucian" appeared in Gongsun Ce's mind.

The word "Ru" embodies his understanding of the principles of martial arts and is one of his ideas about martial arts.

As Gongsun Ce urged, the word "Ru" gradually floated out from above his head and hovered above the "De" sword.

The word "儒" began to slowly separate and turned into five big characters - benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness.

These five big characters radiate brilliant light, blessing the "De" sword with the power of the five directions, five elements and five virtues.

After circling in the air for a while, the five big characters merged into the "德" sword.

As the five characters merged, the "德" sword began to emit a strong light.

The word "德" inscribed on the sword slowly moved to the center of the sword, and then the runes representing the five words "仁义礼智信" spread around the word "德" and spread across the entire sword.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ce showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He continued to mobilize the power of his soul and simultaneously sent out two divine talismans - the "Li" talisman and the "Hua" talisman.

The character "利" strengthens the sword's edge, and the character "化" gives the sword its changing attributes.

The talismans drew a graceful arc in the air and then fell into the blade of the "De" sword.

With the integration of the divine talisman, the "De" sword began to undergo more drastic changes.

I saw the runes on the sword began to flow, as if countless small snakes were swimming.

At the same time, the sword began to emit a more dazzling light.

The pentagram alchemy array also reached its maximum rotation speed at this time.

The entire alchemy array seemed to have turned into a huge vortex, sucking in the surrounding heaven and earth energy.

After being refined and compressed in the alchemy array, all of these elemental forces of heaven and earth were injected into the "De" sword.

With the infusion of the elemental power of heaven and earth, the "De" sword began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

The "De" sword also gradually began to shrink and deform, and finally turned into a sword ball only the size of a thumb.

Although this sword ball is small and exquisite, it contains extremely strong sword energy.

Ying Yinman had no martial arts skills, so she didn't feel any discomfort when she saw the sword ball.

But Fusu is different. He has a physique comparable to that of a mid-level Grandmaster. In other words, he is at the mid-level Grandmaster level.

Therefore, the sword energy spreading from the sword ball stung Fusu's eyes, making his eyes feel sore.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ce showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He waved his hand lightly and took the sword ball out of the alchemy array.

Then he walked to Fusu, threw the sword pill directly into Fusu's mouth and said, "Fusu, this sword pill is the former sword of virtue.

You only need to store this item in your Dantian and slowly nourish it with the great sword energy. Sooner or later, it will resonate with your mind and become your natal flying sword."

After Fusu took the sword pill, his face suddenly changed. The sword energy on the sword pill was so cold that it was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

However, for Fusu, the pain of breaking veins, cutting skin, and chopping bones caused by the Haoran sword energy has exceeded the pain of having his flesh and blood shattered by the sword energy of the sword ball.

He immediately sank his consciousness into his body, and tried hard to send the sword pill into his dantian, mobilizing the mighty sword energy in his body to begin to nurture the sword pill.

In his dantian, the sword ball began to emit a bright light, blending with Fusu's majestic sword energy.

While the Haoran sword energy was shattering Fusu's body, it was also preventing the sword energy of Jianwan from leaking out, causing damage to Fusu and the environment around him.

The great sword energy in Fusu's body became stronger and stronger, and the sword ball also gradually changed in the process.

The sword ball was rotating in Fusu's dantian. After being nurtured by the great sword energy, Fusu vaguely felt that a special connection had been established between himself and the sword ball.

It was a feeling of being able to control it with the ease of one's own arm, as if the sword ball was a part of his body.

"Okay, okay, okay." Gongsun Ce said three "Okays" in a row, "Martial arts requires ruthlessness. Be ruthless to your enemies and to yourself!"

Martial arts in the Qin Dynasty tended towards the practice of Qigong practitioners. Even if the influence of martial arts was discarded, the warriors in the Qin Dynasty still focused on Qi training, and secondly on martial arts moves.

However, warriors in the martial arts world basically rely on their moves to show their ferocity.

The reason is very simple, they don't have a heritage and don't have the best method of practicing Qi.

The truly top-notch methods of Qi training are in the hands of the various schools of thought, while the slightly inferior and superior methods of Qi training are in the hands of the royal families of the seven kingdoms.

The mediocre and inferior methods of Qi training are rampant in the world, and are fought over by others.

Fusu stood and adjusted his breathing for a while, then walked to the table, took out the honey, poured it into the kettle, and dissolved it with warm water.

Gongsun Ce held Ying Yin Man and walked to the table and sat down. Fusu poured a cup of honey water for Gongsun Ce and Ying Yin Man from the kettle. "Fusu, do you still remember that I like to drink honey water?" Gongsun Ce suddenly felt that Fusu was not a waste of his studentship.

Fusu bowed to Gongsun Ce and said, "Of course I remember. But I also know that you prefer juice. However, the conditions are simple, so I hope you can forgive me."

"It's okay, I'm fine." Gongsun Ce took a sip of the honey water and found that the sweetness was just right. "Not bad, the sweetness is just right. You have been practicing secretly for a long time, right?"

Seeing that Fusu was a little embarrassed, Gongsun Ce did not continue to talk about the honey water, but asked Fusu: "If someone privately uses military rations to save the people during famine years, what should we do?"

"There is nothing wrong with saving the people, but the military rations should not be used." Fusu hesitated for a moment, "According to Qin law, it is a capital crime. However, he is willing to save the people, so he should..."

Fusu's words came to an abrupt halt. It was obvious that in his mind saving the people was not a crime and he should not be sentenced to death, but Qin's laws were as strict as a mountain.

"Pay attention to the question." Gongsun Ce tapped Fusu's forehead, "How could there be no grain for disaster relief during the famine years?"

"The students understood that the relief grain did not arrive in time. There are three reasons. One is that someone embezzled the money and the relief grain did not arrive at the local area at all.

In this situation, the corrupt officials should be executed, and those who embezzled military rations should be ordered to replenish the rations and then demoted and retained.

Second, some people neglected their duties, resulting in the relief food not arriving in time.

Those who neglect their duties should be executed, and people were ordered to escort the grain again.

Those who embezzled military rations would be demoted and retained after the rations were replenished.

Third, those who embezzled military rations in order to enrich themselves, using the excuse of disaster relief grain to supplement the shortage, and privately sold military rations, should be executed. "

"You think quickly, but Qin's laws are as strong as a mountain." Gongsun Ce paused here, "Besides, your idea is a bit idealistic.

Specific problems require specific analysis, but the idea is good. Next is the second question, listen carefully!

After unifying the six kingdoms, A Zheng wanted to govern the country with the county system. At this time, someone proposed to restore the Zhou Li and implement the feudal system. What should he do?

Fusu answered without hesitation: "This man should be executed. The shortcomings of Zhou Li are clear to all. Restoring the feudal system is tantamount to repeating the same mistakes."

"Then what should your brothers and sisters do?" Gongsun Ce looked at Fusu with a half-smile, "What should your Ying clan members do?"

"This?" Fusu thought of his brothers and sisters, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Option one, kill them all.

Option two: enjoy fiefdom and fiefdom, but have no military power or real power.

Option three, imprison them in Xianyang, where they have enough food and clothing but no freedom.

Fusu, choose. "

"Option 2." Fusu thought for a moment and felt that only the second option was more reasonable, but he still had a question, "Excuse me, sir, do the fiefs and estates need to be reduced from generation to generation?"

"Hmm?" Gongsun Ce looked at Fusu who suddenly came to his senses and touched his chin, "That's a good idea. The titles of the Qin Dynasty are divided into twenty levels, so the fiefdom and fiefdom can be linked to the title.

Your brothers and sisters are still equivalent to the title of Chehou, and their next generation is Liehou, and their titles, fiefs and fiefs will gradually be reduced until they become commoners. "

Fusu exclaimed: "So this is possible."

The title, fiefdom and fiefdom were linked together. The Marquis of Wanhu in the Han Dynasty represented a fiefdom of ten thousand households. The fiefdom meant that the taxes of these people were designated by the holder and there was no need to submit a copy to the court.

The other people in the fiefdom now pay taxes to the lord of the fiefdom, and then they need to hand over a portion of it to the emperor.

This was the custom in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and even before that, and the taxes paid were tribute.

"Fusu." Gongsun Ce called out, interrupting Fusu's thoughts. "Third question, what do you think of the Chu faction?"

"Since you are the citizens of the Great Qin, you should not be called a Chu-affiliated force!" Fusu said firmly.

"That's good. Ah Zheng thinks the same thing, so the Chu faction will be completely disintegrated. However, the Chu faction is also the one that supports you the most in the court."

Fusu still did not change his opinion. He said firmly: "Even if you support me, you should not consider yourself a Chu person. In my Great Qin, you are a Qin person."

"Okay." Gongsun Ce gave Fusu a thumbs up, "So, go and convince them and change their minds, otherwise they will have no choice but to die."

Fusu stood up and bowed to Gongsun Ce, saying, "I will. Thank you for your teachings, sir."

"Okay, I'm leaving now." Gongsun Ce rubbed Ying Yinman's head, "You can send this girl back later."

"Yes, sir, take care. I will see you off respectfully."

Gongsun Ce walked out of the Xianyang Palace and stood outside the palace gate. He looked up at the sky.

The Locust God began to condense its body, but after being debuffed twice by Gongsun Ce, its strength had been greatly reduced, so there was no need to worry too much.

However, Bei Mingzi and Guiguzi are about to break through to the realm of unity between man and nature.

These two old guys will probably invite me to watch the ceremony. Should I give them a good beating then?
This prevents these two old guys from being overconfident. To be honest, Bei Mingzi may not be the case, but Guiguzi may be a little inflated.

After Gongsun Ce left the Xianyang Palace, he took a step back to the backyard of the Taiwei Mansion. At this time, Feiyan was still basking in the sun.

The difference was that Xi took Gongsun Ce's usual position. She lay on Feiyan's lap and put her ear on Feiyan's slightly bulging belly.

"She has a strong vitality, just like an ancient mythical beast." Xi made a fair assessment, "But are you really okay? I can sense that she needs a lot of nutrients."

"It's okay." Feiyan touched her lower abdomen, "With the Bashe Snake Pearl and Tongtian Pill, the child is not lacking in nutrients. I just feel that I am very sleepy recently."

"I don't understand you people." Xi shook his head, his tone was vicissitudes, "Giving birth to a child, it's such a horrible thing."

"I heard that you are an ancient god. Your husband didn't do anything to you?" Feiyan smiled and pinched Xi's chin, like petting a cat.

"Hmph!" Xi slapped Feiyan's hand away angrily, "I am an ancient god, not a raccoon slave. And, that bad guy, give it to me..."

Xi looked at the stockings on Feiyan's legs, her face was slightly red, and Feiyan immediately understood what Gongsun Ce had done.

"White? Black? Or red..." Feiyan reported a series of colors.

"The white one has been thrown away by me. It stinks. He is a bad guy." Xi replied with a roll of his eyes.

"Just like that?" Feiyan was a little unconvinced. "Although my husband is not that anxious, he is not that unhurried either."

Xi Yan said succinctly: "The pillar pulls the bellows. How can a bellows not break?"

Feiyan's hand continued to scratch Xi's chin, and she said casually: "But you can't grow up, right?"

"How can I adapt gradually and achieve it all at once? How can I put the long sword into the short sword sheath?" Xi's little face fell.

Honglian rescued Xi from Feiyan at this time, and then placed Xi on her lap, as if she was holding a doll.

Honglian looked at Xi, who looked so beautiful that she didn't look like a living person, and couldn't help but ask, "Xi, are all of you ancient gods so beautiful?"

Xi Yi pointed to the sky and said, "There is another one on the moon that is even more beautiful. It seems that it was also captured by that bad guy some time ago."

"Don't listen to her nonsense. The one on the moon was just a one-time encounter." Gongsun Ce said lazily while lying on Feiyan's lap.

"Husband, what have you made after being in seclusion for so many days?" Feiyan massaged Gongsun Ce's temples, and was curious about what Gongsun Ce had been making these days.

"Some small toys." The space ring on Gongsun Ce's hand flashed, and then he handed an air gun to Feiyan to look at, "After this thing is infused with true energy, it can launch invisible attacks.

It can kill a second-rate realm and injure a first-rate realm. It's a pretty good little toy. I wanted to make a big one, but gave up later."

Someone as smart as Feiyan naturally understood Gongsun Ce's idea. This thing had a great impact on the warrior system.

A small toy can kill a second-rate realm, and if you make a big one, I'm afraid it can kill a master.

This thing is a bit too early for the current Qin State.

"Yan'er still understands me." Gongsun Ce put his ear close to Feiyan's belly, "The baby is starting to take shape, and it's quite fast. Is Yan'er really not feeling unwell recently?"

"No, Yue'er is very well behaved." Feiyan ignored the somewhat angry look of Yueshen beside her, and said gently while stroking her belly.

"Here it comes." Gongsun Ce suddenly looked outside Xianyang.

"What's coming?" Feiyan asked in confusion.

"The sacred Fusang tree." Gongsun Ce kissed Feiyan on the belly, "Little girl, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

The Fusang sacred tree has the power to gather spirits, but those who are not recognized by the Fusang sacred tree cannot receive its blessing.

Feiyan and Gongsun Ce are both people who have been recognized by the Fusang Divine Tree. The Fusang Divine Tree will naturally help Feiyan to gather the power of heaven and earth and take care of Yue'er.

"Hmm?" Gongsun Ce's expression suddenly looked a little strange, "The Fusang sacred tree has changed its business to become a ginseng fruit tree?"

Outside Xianyang, a team of Qin troops entered the city in neat steps, and then slowly marched on the road leading to the Taiwei Mansion.

What they were escorting was the sacred Fusang tree transplanted from Mount Shu.

The sacred Fusang tree towers into the clouds, and even if placed horizontally it stretches from east to west.

However, there is a resin ball shaped like amber on the Fusang sacred tree at this moment.

You can see that there is a baby girl curled up inside the resin ball, like a ginseng fruit amber.

The Qin army marched all the way to the outside of the Taiwei Mansion. Because the Fusang sacred tree was too big, they could only send them here at this moment.

Gongsun Ce stood up from Feiyan's lap and then floated towards the gate of Taiwei's Mansion.

The Qin general who was escorting the Fusang sacred tree saw Gongsun Ce coming, and immediately saluted him and left.

Only a young woman dressed in Shushan costume was unwilling to leave.

The sacred Fusang tree in front of Gongsun Ce had turned slightly yellow after a long journey of transportation and delivering vitality to the baby girl.

Gongsun Ce stretched out his right hand, and the power of heaven and earth turned into a big hand under Gongsun Ce's control to pull up the Fusang sacred tree.

Afterwards, the Fusang sacred tree and the young woman floated towards the backyard of the Taiwei Mansion under the control of Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce put the young woman down, and he made a gesture with his finger. The tiles originally laid on the ground flew up one after another, and the empty ground was just right for planting the sacred Fusang tree.

Gongsun Ce struck out with his palm, and a big hole suddenly appeared on the ground where the tiles were missing.

Then he embedded the sacred Fusang tree into the ground, and the moment the sacred Fusang tree touched the ground, it began to take root.
