Chapter 695: Gao Yue

After their cultivation broke through, Fu Nian and Yan Lu stood up and bowed to Liu Bian with excitement.

"This humble minister thanks Your Majesty! I, Fu Nian, and Yan Lu will definitely pledge our lives to Your Majesty! Pledge our lives to the Great Han Empire!"

Finally, Liu Bian turned his gaze toward Zhang Liang.

Feeling Liu Bian's gaze, even Zhang Liang felt great pressure at this time, and a look of nervousness appeared on his face.

"Zhang Liang, listen to the appointment!"

Zhang Liang, upon hearing this, felt his body tremble and knelt before Liu Bian.

"Appoint Zhang Liang as the Vice Minister of the Great Han Empire's Ministry of War, with an official rank of Third Grade, a salary of one thousand shi, and enjoying the Third-Rank National Fortune power of the Great Han Empire!"

"Yin!"

As Liu Bian's voice fell, the National Fortune Golden Dragon spat out a red power of national fortune toward Zhang Liang.

"First Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm, break!"

With a low shout from Zhang Liang, with the help of the power of national fortune, Zhang Liang's cultivation also successfully broke through to the First Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm.

"Is this the cultivation of the Martial Emperor Realm! Truly powerful. This is much stronger than the Martial King Realm!"

"It seems that in the future, if I want to overthrow the tyrannical Qin, I still have to rely on the Great Han's strength. As long as I pledge my loyalty to the Great Han, overthrowing the tyrannical Qin is just around the corner!"

"However, the power of national fortune of this Dynasty is truly powerful. It seems that in the future, I, Zhang Liang, might also be able to catch a glimpse of the peak of martial arts!"

Feeling the strength of the Martial Emperor Realm, Zhang Liang thought excitedly in his heart.

Immediately, Zhang Liang, who had recovered, bowed to Liu Bian with gratitude:

"This humble minister Zhang Liang thanks Your Majesty! This humble minister will definitely pledge my life to Your Majesty! Pledge my life to the Great Han Empire!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Bian also nodded with satisfaction. Xun Zi, Zhang Liang, and the others had submitted to the Great Han Empire; his purpose for this trip had been perfectly achieved.

Now, it was time to start laying out plans for Great Qin. To be honest, he was looking forward to this showdown with the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng.

"Zi Fang, please rise quickly. With the help of you all, my Great Han Empire will definitely be able to stand at the peak of the myriad heavens and realms!"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, everyone knelt before Liu Bian again and shouted in unison:

"We are willing to die for Your Majesty!"

"Good!"

"My purpose for coming to the Little Sage Village this time has been achieved, and it is time for me to leave!"

"And your task is to annihilate all the Qin State assassins who came to pursue the Mohists this time!"

"However, others can die, but Li Si, Wei Zhuang, and the others must be left alive. I want to recruit them into my Great Han Empire as well!"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, everyone immediately shouted in unison to Liu Bian:

"We obey the edict!"

If it had been before, with their strength, they really wouldn't have been able to deal with the Quicksand and Net assassins.

However, now their strength had been greatly enhanced. Now, the Mohist School and the Little Sage Village alone already had six Martial Emperor Realm powerhouses.

Moreover, among them was Xun Zi, who was at the Sixth Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm. Such powerful strength was enough to annihilate the Quicksand and the Net.

One must know that in the Quicksand, only Wei Zhuang's cultivation had reached the First Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm, and the others were all at the Martial King Realm.

And in the Net, only Yan Ri and Jing Ni had strength that reached the First Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm.

The other Heaven-rank assassins only had cultivation from the Eighth to the Ninth Heaven of the Martial King Realm.

So, even with the addition of the Yin-Yang School's Protector Xing Hun, the other side only had four people at the First Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm.

Therefore, at this time, everyone no longer had any fear of the people sent by the Qin State this time, but were instead full of anticipation.

They really wanted to see what kind of expressions the other side would have after discovering their cultivation.

"That's fine, I will leave this matter to you. After you finish solving it, you will set off for Shangjun. By then, the Great Han's military edge should have already invaded Great Qin!"

"We obey the edict!"

Immediately, Liu Bian turned his gaze toward the young Xiang Yu and said to him:

"However, I will take Xiang Yu and Yue'er with me. Xiang Yu's temperament is not suitable for following you; his best place should be in the army!"

"And as for you, Yue'er, you yourself are related to a major event. To be on the safe side, you should follow by my side!"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Xiang Liang's eyes showed excitement, and he said excitedly to Liu Bian:

"Everything will be arranged by Your Majesty. It is Yu'er's blessing to be able to follow Your Majesty!"

Xiang Liang was also very excited that Xiang Yu could be valued by Liu Bian, and immediately exhorted Xiang Yu:

"Yu'er, after following Your Majesty to the army, you must be obedient and never fail Your Majesty's high expectations!"

Xiang Yu, who was to the side, upon hearing this, patted his chest and guaranteed to Xiang Liang:

"Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely listen to Your Majesty and build merits for the Great Han Empire!"

Seeing this, Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction; he was very satisfied with Xiang Yu's answer.

And Yue'er, who was standing beside Tianming, had a face full of doubt, not knowing what Liu Bian meant.

"Your Majesty, will Yue'er be in any danger?"

Duan Murong, who was standing beside Yue'er, asked with worry after hearing Liu Bian's words.

And the others, upon hearing Liu Bian's words, also looked at Yue'er with curiosity.

"This matter has to start with her background. Do you know Yue'er's background?"

Seeing everyone asking, Liu Bian didn't intend to hide it and asked everyone.

"I know about this. Yue'er is the daughter of the former Yan State Crown Prince Dan. Does this have any problems?"

Yue'er's background was not a secret; many people present knew her identity.

Hearing Duan Murong's words, Liu Bian nodded and said to everyone:

"You are right. Yue'er is indeed the daughter of Yan State Crown Prince Yan Dan and the Yin-Yang School's Dongjun Yanfei, and she was titled Princess Gao Yue by the Yan State royal family."

"However, she has another name, and that is Ji Ru Qianlong!"

"Ji Ru Qianlong!"

Hearing this name, everyone showed expressions of confusion, and only Xun Zi's expression became solemn.

"One must know that the Ji surname is the surname of the Zhou royal family. Could this Gao Yue be related to the Zhou royal family?"

However, before Xun Zi could ask, Liu Bian continued:

"However, Gao Yue has nothing to do with the Zhou royal family. This name was just given by the Yin-Yang School's Donghuang Taiyi."

"And Gao Yue herself carries a special bloodline, which is related to the biggest secret of this world: the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon!"

"Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon!"

Hearing Liu Bian mention the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, Xun Zi immediately exclaimed.

"Oh, it seems that Chancellor Xun has also heard of these Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon!"

Hearing Xun Zi's exclamation, Liu Bian also turned his gaze toward him and asked with some surprise.

"In reply to Your Majesty, I have heard of these Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon by chance. I didn't expect it to be true!"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Xun Zi calmed down and said solemnly to Liu Bian. ===== CHAPTER 696 =====
