Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 442 Excited Lu Buwei
The gap between a master and a master can be very large.

Some masters easily beat other masters.It's like the No.1 and the last in the graduating class. The No.1 can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but the last can't be admitted to the university.The gap between a top student and a scumbag is worlds apart.

Zhao Ping is just the most powerful existence among the masters.

Shanrou really started to practice after meeting Qin Zhiyong. The time was too short, so she could only be regarded as a rising star.

No matter which organization or platform it is, if a rising star wants to stand out, he will definitely challenge the status and authority of the older generation.

This is true in politics, business, academia...all of them.

Throughout the ages, it has not changed.This is the "Tao" of the humanistic world, or the law.

Shanrou wants to become a giant and dominate the Mohism, so it is inevitable that people like Zhao Ping and Cao Qiudao will fight back and suppress her.

Shanrou can't compromise and has no way out.

Zhao Ping also had no way out.

There is no such thing as "taking a step back to open up the sea and the sky" between the two of them.As long as you retreat, you will fall short.Of course, if there are some "advance by retreat" strategies, that's another matter.

Both Zhao Ping and Shanrou drew their long swords.

Zhao Mengtong, Wei Dong, Liu Huai and other Mohists gradually moved back, leaving a larger space in the center of the compound for the two to display.

Zhao Mengtong stared at Shanrou, and sneered in his heart: "Shanrou, you will definitely lose. If you dare to compete with my uncle, you are really looking for your own death."

Zhao Mengtong thought that even if Zhao Ping didn't kill Shanrou, he could still make a big fool of her.When the time comes, let's see what kind of air Shan Rou still has.

Weidong and Liu Huai are supporting Shanrou.However, Zhao Ping's swordsmanship was deeply ingrained in their subconscious minds.

Therefore, they are very nervous.

Shan Rou and Zhao Ping moved almost at the same time.

The speed of the two of them is extremely fast. Although the speed did not break through the limit of human vision, everyone saw a few afterimages behind them.

Shan Rou's energy was poured into the long sword, and the sword seemed to be linked with her own thinking.

She entered the state of the unity of human and sword.

Ding!
When the two long swords collided, sparks were emitted, and the ear-piercing sound made everyone's teeth sore.

Shanrou secretly said: "The first sword."

Shanrou knows that her mental and physical strength can only explode six swords with all her strength.If Zhao Ping is not defeated within six moves, he will be in trouble.

Zhao Ping was more shocked than others.

Shan Rou's speed is too fast.It was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

Speed, strength, acumen, at the level of a master, Shanrou's performance is almost impeccable, it can be called perfection.

"Second sword."

Shanrou swung the second sword.

The turning point of body technique and the connection between sword moves are extremely smooth without any pause.It can be said that Shan Rou did a better job than Zhao Ping in terms of the connection between body skills and moves.

It's just that Shanrou still lacks some money in terms of strength.

Until Shanrou swung the fifth sword, Zhao Ping couldn't stand it anymore.

The sixth sword!
Shanrou's mind was empty, and her eyes became brighter.Her state of mind seemed to enter a deeper state.

"Into the Ding."

Shanrou suddenly felt joy from the bottom of her heart.Her mind can be settled.Her sword speed increased again.

Zhao Ping couldn't resist anymore.

The sword in Zhao Ping's hand was cut off by Shanrou.

The point of the sword touched Zhao Ping's throat, and Shan Rou said, "Juzi, I won. Let me go."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhao Ping to come back to his senses, Shanrou put away the long sword, took a few steps back, and distanced himself from Zhao Ping.

When Shan Rou was an assassin, as long as she missed a hit, she would run away.

Now she remains vigilant.You can't get too close to your opponent, and beware of plotting.

Since Shan Rou decided not to stab with the sword, she had to withdraw the sword immediately and keep a certain distance from Zhao Ping.

Zhao Ping is a master of swordsmanship, if he fights back desperately, it will be terrible.

"I... lost?" Zhao Ping murmured.

Losing to Cao Qiudao or Qin Zhiyong, Zhao Ping could accept it.But losing to Shan Rou, he couldn't accept it.

But the facts are in front of you, and you have to accept it if you don’t accept it.

Zhao Mengtong couldn't believe it, his uncle was a giant of the Mohist family, the strongest swordsmanship master in Zhao country, how could he lose to a girl like Shanrou?
Zhao Ping took a few deep breaths and said, "Shanrou, your swordsmanship really amazes me. It's amazing, it's amazing."

Zhao Mengtong walked to Zhao Ping's side and said, "Master..."

Zhao Ping glared at Zhao Mengtong, dropped the broken sword, and said coldly, "Let's go."

In this battle, not only did she not defeat Shanrou, but also hit her prestige, on the contrary, Zhao Ping became Shanrou's stepping stone.

Zhao Ping's defeat raised Shanrou's prestige in the Mozhe Guild to its peak.

It's not that Zhao Ping is not strong, but Shanrou's progress is too fast.

Zhao Ping left with Zhao Mengtong, and Wei Dong, Liu Huai and others cheered.

They are cheering for the big sister.

Every mohist seems to be able to feel that the era when Zhao Ping led Mohist in Zhao country is over.

…………

To say that the most powerful person in Qin State, Lu Buwei is definitely one of them.The king of Qin, the left and right prime ministers, and Lu Buwei, the three giants, occupy one of them.

But even with such a high power, Lu Buwei is still not satisfied, he still wants to gain more power.

Lu Buwei is still a businessman in essence.

Back then, he played with rare goods to live in, and the rewards he got afterwards can be said to be thousands of times and tens of thousands of times.

The person Qin Guo most wanted to take Zhu Ji and Ying Zheng back was not Qin Wang Yiren, but Lu Buwei.King Qin is more than one son of Yingzheng, without Yingzheng, there is almost no loss for King Qin and other people.

Recently, some ministers of civil and military affairs have been engaging in tandem, trying to push the young master Cheng Jiao to be the crown prince.

But it was strongly opposed by Lu Buwei.

After going to court, Lu Buwei returned to the mansion with a very heavy heart.

He somewhat blamed Wu Yingyuan and the others.I think Lu Buwei paid such a high price to secretly support Wujiabao, so that Wu Yingyuan could gain a firm foothold in Zhao State.

However, Wujiabao has not yet rescued Yingzheng's mother and son.

What a waste.

If it drags on.

Young Master Cheng Jiao is afraid that he will really become the Prince of Qin.At that time, it would be meaningless for Ying Zheng to return to Qin.

Lu Buwei couldn't help but feel anxious.

A middle-aged man walked up to Lu Buwei and said, "Master Xiang, there is news from Zhao Guo."

Lu Buwei said: "News from Zhao State? Come on, bring it to me."

The middle-aged man handed the sealed box to Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei couldn't wait to open the box, then trembled all over, and laughed loudly: "It's Wu Yingyuan who came to deliver the news! Wang Zizheng and Zhu Ji have left Zhao State with Mr. Zou Yan, and are now in Chu State. Okay, okay , It’s really great. The Xiang Shaolong and Qin Zhiyong mentioned by Wu Yingyuan in the letter have made great contributions. Let our people go to Chu State immediately, and we must welcome Wang Zizheng and Zhu Ji back!”

The middle-aged man looked joyful and said, "Master Xiang, don't worry, the subordinates will make arrangements now. We will let Wang Zizheng return to Qin as soon as possible."

As long as Yingzheng returns to Qin, Lu Buwei is sure to push him to the position of prince.

Lu Buwei was excited and puzzled, this was the first time he had heard of the name Xiang Shaolong, but Wu Yingyuan said in the letter that Xiang Shaolong was the confidant he sent to Zhao to rescue Wang Zizheng and Zhu Ji.

I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings.

However, these are sidelines.

Most importantly, Wang Zizheng and Zhu Ji escaped from Zhao State, and they were able to return to Qin State.

Lu Buwei secretly said: "I will go to the palace now and tell the king that Wang Zizheng and Zhu Ji are coming back soon. No... no, it is not safe for Wang Zizheng and Zhu Ji to disclose the news of Wang Zizheng and Zhu Ji. We should wait for them When we return to Qin State, we will give the King, Cheng Jiao and others a surprise."

Just when Lu Buwei was a little overwhelmed with excitement.

Qin Zhiyong drove a carriage and entered Xianyang City together with Zhao Ya.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Madam Ya, we have arrived in Xianyang City."

Zhao Ya opened the bamboo curtain on the carriage and looked at the streets of Xianyang City.
