Bai Yuan was really speechless at Chi Songzi's petty look.

After all, he is also the head of the Tianzong, a master in the realm of harmony between heaven and man, but he would care about such a trivial matter, completely unlike a reclusive expert.

Of course, this look is quite consistent with Bai Yuan's impression of Chi Songzi.

Although Chisongzi looks like a virtuous person in front of outsiders, she is actually quite sinister inside.

After so many years, Bai Yuan has a deep understanding of it.

However, Chi Songzi's little plan was in vain.

Bai Yuan wasn't that concerned about the problem just now, so he couldn't be anxious at all.

Chi Songzi felt bored, and the smile on her face froze slightly.

At this time, an even more exaggerated energy fluctuation suddenly came from the field, leaving Chi Songzi with no time to worry about anything else.

I saw the blue energy on Xiaomeng's body growing in the wind, and the sky suddenly became much darker. The strong wind blew, and the bamboo leaves rustled.

"This... such a strong aura, this aura actually makes people feel as if they are facing the avenue directly."

Obviously Xiao Meng has not reached the state of unity between heaven and man, but it is really surprising that he can faintly mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

Only Bai Yuan and Bei Mingzi were present with calm expressions.

Bai Yuan knew the effects of Xiaomeng's [Chunyang Buxue], but Bei Mingzi simply saw that Xiaomeng's internal strength was a little unusual, so he had already expected it.

Moreover, Bei Mingzi has lived for so many years and has seen a lot, and his state of mind has long been beyond the comparison of ordinary people.

Even if Xiao Meng now breaks through to the realm of unity between man and nature, Bei Mingzi will not have much psychological fluctuations. At most, he is pleased that his disciple is so talented and sighs that there are successors to the Taoist school.

After Xiaomeng used all his strength, the six elders felt a pressure.

"If we lose to Junior Sister Xiaomeng today, we will probably lose face!"

The six elders gritted their teeth.

At first they were just here to give Xiaomeng a trial, but now they had to fight for themselves.

Even if he is surpassed by Bai Yuan, he has been practicing for more than ten years and is extremely talented.

But if they lose to Xiaomeng at such a young age, then they have been practicing like dogs in the past few decades.

And just when Qingxuzi and others were about to get serious and try to press the bottom of the box, Bei Mingzi suddenly spoke up.

"This trial ends here!"

He waved his sleeves, and a colorless inner force instantly calmed down the energy chaos caused by Xiaomeng and the six elders.

The movements of Qingxuzi and others suddenly stagnated, and the breath on Xiaomeng's body gradually calmed down, breathing heavily.

Bei Mingzi only made a slight move to get her out of that strange state.

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He felt a pity that he was not able to see the final showdown between Xiaomeng and the six elders to determine the winner.

However, he also saw that although Xiaomeng's momentum was very strong just now, it consumed too much. It would be better for both parties to end the competition.

After all, Xiaomeng is still too young, and her foundation is still slightly inferior to that of the six elders. Being able to persist for so long under the joint attack of the six elders can already prove her strength.

Therefore, the purpose of this trial has been achieved, and there is no need for them to continue fighting.

Xiaomeng bowed her hands to the six elders, and the six elders returned the gesture.

Then they sat down together to work on their internal skills and regulate their breath.

Xiao Meng's internal energy was naturally the [Chun Yang Bie Shu], and Chi Songzi and Bei Mingzi couldn't help but look at it when Xiao Meng was operating her energy.

"This inner strength"

With the eyesight of Chi Songzi and Bei Mingzi, they naturally saw that the internal energy used by Xiao Meng and that used by Bai Yuan had the same origin.

But neither of them said anything about it.

At their level, they don't care too much about such an internal skill. Anyway, the good news does not flow to outsiders. It is enough for Xiaomeng to learn it.

They were mostly lamenting that Xiaomeng was lucky enough to meet such a capable senior brother as Bai Yuan.

Not long after, Xiaomeng and others finished adjusting their breath. When they opened their eyes, they saw a long sword with a special shape in Bei Mingzi's hand.

It is said to be a sword, but there is a long whisk on the hilt, which looks very beautiful.

This is the famous sword Qiuli guarded by Tianzong.

The six elders were slightly startled when they saw this.

Xiao Meng just glanced at it and couldn't move her eyes away. She opened her lips and didn't know what to say for a while.

But Bei Mingzi didn't go around in circles. With a wave of his right hand, Qiuli Sword fell in front of Xiaomeng.

"This sword is called Qiuli. Now with your strength, you are qualified to wield this sword."

After hearing this, Xiaomeng held Qiuli in both hands and saluted Bei Mingzi.

"Thank you Master!"

Bei Mingzi nodded slightly, then glanced at Chi Songzi.

Chisongzi also spoke out at the right time:

"Having taken charge of Qiuli, you also have the qualifications to take charge of Tianzong."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was slightly shocked.

Xiaomeng was also a little confused: "What does senior brother mean by this?"

"I cannot hold the position of head of Tianzong forever. I will hold the position for another ten years at most. After ten years, you will take over my position and become the new head of Tianzong."

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression a little playful.

Unexpectedly, what Chi Songzi said it was time just now actually meant this.

Both Xiaomeng and the six elders had some objections to this decision.

"Senior Brother Head, if you want to take over the position of Head Master, Senior Brother Bai Yuan should be more qualified than me."

Xiaomeng learned most of his skills from Bai Yuan, and his current achievements are inseparable from Bai Yuan.

In terms of emotion, reason, and seniority, Bai Yuan should be the one to succeed Chi Songzi.

Xiaomeng didn't want to take away Bai Yuan's position as leader.

However, after hearing this, Chi Songzi blew his beard angrily and glared at Bai Yuan.

How could he not know that Bai Yuan is a more suitable candidate?

But Bai Yuan has said more than once that he has no idea about the position of leader.

Bai Yuan also touched his nose awkwardly.

"I'll forget it. It's too troublesome to manage the entire Tianzong. Look at the head brother, his hair is all white from exhaustion, so I'd better leave this task to you, sister!" Chisongzi clenched her fists when she heard Bai Yuan's words. .

His white hair is because he is old! It’s not because of overwork in managing Tianzong!

This brat actually dared to mock his hair.

Xiaomeng was also a little unhappy. She also had white hair, and her white hair was natural, so she felt that she was being ridiculed.

Bai Yuan's words were like saying: "Chisongzi has white hair, and you also have white hair, so you are more suitable for this position."

Seeing this, Chisongzi spread his hands and said, "As you can see, Junior Brother Baiyuan's character is not suitable for the position of head."

Xiaomeng nodded angrily and snorted slightly to show dissatisfaction.

The six elders originally had some opinions, but after hearing their discussion, they couldn't speak anymore.

Their original candidate was also Bai Yuan. On the one hand, Bai Yuan's strength was the top among Taoists, and on the other hand, he had made many contributions to Tianzong. No matter what, Bai Yuan should be the best candidate for the next head.

But now that Chi Songzi, Bei Mingzi and even Bai Yuan all recognize and support Xiaomeng, their opposition is meaningless.

Moreover, Chisongzi did not ask Xiaomeng to take over his position now, but made a ten-year agreement.

With the talent Xiaomeng has shown now, if she is given another ten years, she may be the next Bai Yuan!

Even at the same age, Bai Yuan's performance was not as good as Xiao Meng's.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the six elders also acquiesced that Xiaomeng was the future head of Tianzong.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He is a lazy man and it is really troublesome to manage Tianzong.

You must know that whether it is the Lingtu clan or the underground river, Bai Yuan is basically managed by others.

Taoyao and Ling'er are in charge of the Lingtu clan, and Li Wu is in charge of Anhe. Unless there is something big, he usually doesn't need to ask questions.

On the other side, in a hunting ground near Xianyang, Ying Zheng led his ministers to hold a grand autumn hunting event.

Taking advantage of the autumn hunt, Zhao Jia also began to explore Chang Pingjun's tone, trying to confirm whether the current Changping Jun was a teammate worth winning over and able to win over.

Last time at Changping Lord's house, he saw that Mi Qi and Bai Yuan seemed to have a good relationship, and he was already wary.

Zhao Jia has heard some of Bai Yuan's deeds, so he knows that Bai Yuan is a very dangerous person. If Lord Changping gets too close to him, then Lord Changping may not be so easily won over by them.

The fate of the last person who betrayed Ying Zheng is still vivid in his mind.

Cheng Yu and Fan Yuqi had already gone to Zhao State, but were still forcibly captured by Bai Yuan.

Under such circumstances, how many people in the Qin State would dare to betray Ying Zheng?

There is no guarantee that they will not become the next Cheng Xi and Fan Yuqi.

After some contact and testing, Zhao Jia also got an answer that satisfied him.

"In the final analysis, Lord Changping still has the blood of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom. Even though he is now a very popular minister in the Qin Kingdom, it cannot change the fact that he is a descendant of the Chu Kingdom."

After learning this, Zhao Jia was not in a hurry to take the next step.

Now he is just giving constant psychological hints to Lord Changping to shake Lord Changping's loyalty to Qin.

If you are too eager to take the next step and the timing is not right, you will mess things up.

Moreover, Zhao Jia came to participate in the autumn hunt not just to win over Lord Changping, he also had other plans.

Since being sent to the Qin State as a hostage, Zhao Jia has become more cautious and cautious due to environmental factors.

Therefore, he also knows that he cannot put his eggs in one basket. Changping Jun is just a channel, and it is not necessarily a channel that can be opened up.

So Zhao Jia also planned to take advantage of this autumn hunting, when most people's attention was here, to send his confidants to sneak out and deliver some news.

It would definitely be best if they could find the disciples of the Mo family directly. Even if they failed to pass on the news, they would be able to contact the Mo family sooner or later.

As long as Yan Dan doesn't talk big, he can really convince the Mo family to help them.

Then their success rate of escaping will be much higher.

However, Zhao Jia did not completely believe Yan Dan's words, and also made two preparations. If the Mo family's side didn't work, he still had backup plans, and maybe he could succeed.

This autumn hunt will last for nearly half a month, but not everyone will participate in the entire half-month autumn hunt.

Most people participated for a few days, showed their faces in front of Ying Zheng, and then returned to their posts.

After all, they couldn't put down what they were doing and not deal with anything for half a month. Wouldn't the Great Qin court be paralyzed?

This autumn hunting was somewhat of a waste.

Among them, Lord Changping, as the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, was busy with official duties, so he only stayed for two days before going back to handle official duties.

And when he left the hunting ground, Zhao Jia came to see him off, as if he had a good relationship with him.

Mr. Changping kept a smile on the surface, but he began to feel a little wary in his heart.

As soon as he left the hunting ground, Lord Changping sat in the carriage and put away the smile on his face.

"Zhao Jia has mentioned my Chu bloodline identity many times with ulterior motives. Is he trying to sow discord between me and Da Qin?"

With Lord Changping's palace, how could he not see what Zhao Jia was planning?

He does have the royal bloodline of the King of Chu and is the son of the current King of Chu, but he is not actually recognized by the King of Chu.

Otherwise, Li Yuan would not have persuaded Chun Shenjun to give the pregnant Li Huan to the King of Chu by saying that the King of Chu had no children.

In other words, even if Lord Changping has the royal bloodline of the Chu Kingdom, in the eyes of Chu people, he is not considered a Chu prince with the right to inherit. If there is no accident, Changping Lord will never become the King of Chu.

Lord Changping, who grew up in Xianyang, also received Qin education, so he looked more like a Qin person than a Chu person.

And the greatest help that this Chu bloodline brought him was the support from the Queen Mother Huayang, which enabled him to rise to prominence in the Qin Kingdom.

After all, his roots are still in Qin.

So if he thought that he could betray Qin just by virtue of his Chu bloodline, then Zhao Jia would be a little fanciful.

In fact, in this era, there are many unpopular young men who will go to other countries to seek success.

Not to mention people like Chang Pingjun who have never set foot on the land of Chu State, their sense of identity and belonging to Chu State is actually very weak.

Of course, another key point is that Bai Yuan had vaguely warned him once before.

"If you think about it, Bai Yuan's warning to me back then actually had a deeper meaning!"

Chang Pingjun's eyes were very deep. After two days of consideration, he had already made a decision in his heart.

Now he is still the Right Prime Minister of Qin State, a highly respected minister, and there is no need to take huge risks to do something that has a high probability of failure.

So as soon as he returned to his house, Lord Changping immediately wrote a letter, and then sent his confidants to secretly send him to Taiyi Mountain to give him to Bai Yuan.

At the same time, he also planned to find an opportunity to tell Ying Zheng about this.

Zhao Jia, who was originally considered to be no threat by Ying Zheng, was actually not as harmless as he appeared on the surface. Instead, he was trying to make some small moves to achieve his unknown purpose.

And by telling Ying Zheng about this, he could also repair the somewhat estranged relationship between himself and Ying Zheng due to Cheng Yu's incident. Not to mention letting the Chu family regain the important role of Ying Zheng, at least it would allow him to gain more from Ying Zheng. trust and stabilize one's position.

It is definitely not a loss for Mr. Changping. (End of chapter)
