Chapter 119: Guests from Yin-Yang, the invitation of the Eastern Emperor!

Lü Lu Buwei is finished!

Even though he was the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, once revered as the Prime Minister, and was the King of Qin’s Zhongfu.

But once he was involved in Lao Ai’s rebellion, he had no room to turn things around.

Comparatively, the King of Qin only dismissed his position and let him return to his fief to retire, which was already giving him enough face.

Lü Lu Buwei had operated in the royal court for many years, and naturally, there were officials who did not believe that Lü Lu Buwei would collude with Lao Ai. However, the evidence was conclusive, and they could not help but believe it. What made them even more uncomfortable was that, faced with the evidence brought out by the King of Qin, Lü Lu Buwei could not say any words of rebuttal.

In other words, he... defaulted.

He really had colluded with Lao Ai.

……

"The result is truly unexpected!"

The news of Lü Lu Buwei’s dismissal soon spread to the common people, and Yan Yan Lingji also heard about it. She could not help but feel some emotions.

Yesterday, Lü Lu Buwei was still the Prime Minister of the dynasty and the King of Qin’s Zhongfu.

And today, he lost his position, and because of an edict from the King of Qin, he lost his power.

The impermanence of the world is nothing more than this.

"When Lü Lu Buwei chose to send people to assassinate Ying Zheng, it actually meant that he was at his wit’s end and had no other plans," Su Xuan said lightly.

Sometimes, killing an opponent is the last resort.

Of course, this method is indeed very useful.

However, there is a prerequisite, which is that it must succeed.

Not long after the King of Qin’s edict dismissing the Prime Minister was issued, whether Lü Lu Buwei was willing or not, he had to make a handover and hand over all the affairs under his control. And after completing these things, he seemed to have become cold because of the King of Qin’s attitude, dismissed all the guests under his command, and on this morning, he took a carriage and left Xianyang, heading toward his fief of Luoyang.

Just after Lü Lu Buwei left, this evening.

At Su Xuan’s place, a brand new visitor arrived.

The visitor was neither Gai Nie nor Ying Zheng.

But a woman dressed in a dark blue long dress.

The woman was beautiful, her eyes containing deep, strange colors, looking at the unremarkable civilian house in front of her, she could not help but marvel in her heart.

If it weren't for learning about this from His Excellency Donghuang, she really couldn't imagine that the two people she met in Yongcheng that day would actually hide in such a place.

It was one thing that the other party helped the King of Qin with such a big favor and wasn't in a hurry to ask for a reward from the King of Qin, but they were actually willing to hide among the commoners.

Thoughts flickered for a while.

The woman’s figure flickered, instantly jumping over the wall and entering the courtyard, looking at the tightly closed door, feeling the aura inside.

The woman’s sleeve brushed over, and in an instant, a strong wind blew out, immediately knocking the door open.

The next moment, a strong wind, much more powerful than the one she released, surged out from the room, sweeping up the strong wind she had used to enter, and rushed toward her body.

The woman’s internal energy surged, her dress flew, and she tried hard to stabilize her body.

However, the next moment, another force surged out along with the strong wind, finally making her take a step back.

"Coming without notice, trespassing in a civilian house, is your Yin-Yang School so lacking in manners?" Su Xuan’s voice sounded from the room, falling into the woman’s ears.

The woman raised her eyebrows. If it were in the past, she would have been unable to resist rushing into the room and fighting Su Xuan.

After all, such an expert is hard to find in the world, and if they didn't exchange pointers, it would be a pity.

But now, she was here with a mission.

After a little thought, the woman said toward the direction of the room, "I came abruptly, please forgive me, sir. My leader invites Mr. Su to meet at Mount Li!"

"Oh? I didn't expect that an idle person like me would attract the attention of the Yin-Yang School leader, Donghuang Taiyi. That’s interesting!" Su Xuan walked out of the room slowly, with Yan Yan Lingji quietly following by his side.

Looking at the woman standing in the courtyard, Yan Yan Lingji even greeted her, "We meet again!"

The woman was Dongjun Dongjun Yanfei of the Yin-Yang School.

"Long time no see!" Dongjun Yanfei also greeted Yan Yan Lingji. Since they parted in Yongcheng, the time had not been too long, but it was not short either.

After greeting, her gaze fell on Su Xuan again. This was her first meeting with Su Xuan.

That day in Yongcheng, she had seen from afar the scene of Su Xuan killing Lao Ai, and that kind of strength made her feel shocked.

But she did not choose to meet Su Xuan, and likewise, she did not know Su Xuan’s name.

She only learned Su Xuan’s name this time from the leader, His Excellency Donghuang.

Looking at Su Xuan, Dongjun Yanfei continued, "Mr. Su once solved difficulties for the King of Qin, and is a distinguished guest of the King of Qin. Your strength is unfathomable; how can you be an ordinary idle person?"

"Hmph!" Su Xuan snorted coldly and did not pay attention to Dongjun Yanfei’s flattery.

Anyone can say nice things, but you can't really take such words seriously.

He looked at Dongjun Yanfei again and said, "Since it is your leader’s invitation, then I will accompany you for a trip."

The meaning behind Donghuang Taiyi inviting Su Xuan at this time is thought-provoking.

Especially since Lü Lu Buwei only left Xianyang this morning.

That day in Yongcheng, Su Xuan had told Yan Yan Lingji about some of the dirty past of the Yin-Yang School. After returning from Yongcheng, when he was idle, he had visited the Yin-Yang School.

The reason why he became interested in the Yin-Yang School was not only because of some thoughts he had in Yongcheng, but also because the Yin-Yang School at this time had not yet reached the peak state as in the original work. In other words, they hadn't latched onto Ying Zheng’s thigh yet.

So, before latching onto Ying Zheng, who were they relying on?

It was Prime Minister Lü Lu Buwei.

During the Warring States period, there was a trend of raising scholars. The four lords of the Warring States all had many guests. After Lü Lu Buwei became the Prime Minister of the Qin state, he also imitated the four lords and recruited many guests. He did not value brave warriors very much when recruiting guests, but he paid great attention to literary talent.

It was because Lü Lu Buwei had always been good at strategy and looked down on those simple-minded brave men. Besides, he controlled the Net, so there was really no need to raise warriors for battle.

At that time, many eloquent scholars wrote books and established theories, which were widely circulated. Not only were they famous in the world, but they could also be passed down to future generations and remain in history forever. This point especially made Lü Lu Buwei jealous. Lü Lu Buwei was originally a merchant and had no conditions to write books and establish theories, but he could use these guests who were good at writing to realize his ambitions and wishes.

Thus, he recruited many guests to write books for himself, and finally, with "Daoist theories" as the backbone, and using the theories of the School of Names, Legalism, Confucianism, Mohism, Agriculturalism, Military School, and Yin-Yang School as materials, he melted the theories of the Hundred Schools of Thought into one furnace and compiled a "Miscellaneous School" wonder, which was the "Lüshi Chunqiu." The Yin-Yang School was in such a situation that it latched onto Lü Lu Buwei.
