Even Lian Po, who was far away on the banks of the Yishui River, did not expect that Jin Yao would correspond with him again to ask him to recommend an unknown Li Mu to serve as the commander of Yanmen Pass again.
Lian Po was actually very hesitant, because in his opinion, Li Mu was really a coward. He didn't dare to fight or move against the barbarians, and he just defended his city and cleared the countryside. But in the current situation, Li Mu was the best commander of Yanmen Pass.
Therefore, Lian Po agreed to Jin Yao's request and, together with Le Cheng and Zhao Bao, recommended Li Mu to King Xiaocheng of Zhao.
"Perhaps you have your own opinion, sir! I hope Li Mu won't let you down again!" Lian Po thought.
The State of Zhao has disappointed you too many times, and now they can only hope that a small general will not let you down. How sad it is.
…
"Mu also didn't expect that the gentleman would think so highly of me!" In the tavern, Li Mu was really sober and sighed as he looked at Zhao Bao .
"Don't let the gentleman down again!" Zhao Bao also sighed.
"Mu will definitely not let you down!" Li Mu said seriously.
Zhao Bao looked at Li Mu and sighed. What a pity, he didn't understand the court! If a general with some worldly wisdom was grateful for Jin Yao's recommendation, he would not say that he would not disappoint Jin Yao, but would say that he would not disappoint the king, the prime minister, and the general.
"Go ahead and do it. With you and me here, no one in Zhao will stop you!" Zhao Bao made the promise seriously.
Li Mu nodded. This was his last chance. Moreover, with Zhao Bao's help, he would no longer be the little general who was demoted by someone and had no one to help him in the court.
…
Zhuque returned to the Mo family. The group of a hundred people all returned to their respective residences and chose to go into seclusion. This trip made them realize their own powerlessness.
"The sixth level of Shangxian?" The six-fingered black hero looked at Jin Yao who had returned with some surprise. It was rare for someone to reach a high level in one trip.
"Yeah!" Jin Yao nodded. After witnessing eleven masters taking action and experiencing a life-and-death battle, he had regained his previous level.
"The emperor is dead. This was sent by the Zhou Dynasty, and they said you must open it yourself!" The six-fingered black knight signaled Master Ban to take a wooden box.
Jin Yao looked at the box in Master Ban's hand, feeling somewhat puzzled. He already knew that he was a descendant of Jin Bi, the great general of Jin State, but what did this have to do with the Zhou Dynasty?
The most crucial thing is that the information revealed by the Six-Fingered Black Knight is too heavy. The emperor is dead, which means that the Qin State has destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and made this emperor, who existed in name only, truly disappear.
"Did the King of Qin really destroy Zhou?" Jin Yao asked.
"Well, not long after you left, the Qin army conquered Luoyi, killed Duke Wen of Eastern Zhou, and moved Prince Ju to Yangren, using the land of Yangren as support to continue the Zhou sacrifices," Master Ban explained.
Jin Yao fell silent. The trend of unifying the world was unstoppable. The last emperor had died. The emperor who had been above the princes was gone. All that was left was a major battle among the princes.
"Similarly, the Zhou Dynasty also sent the last two princesses to the Mohist School, and stated that you will be in charge of their care!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight continued, and then gave an order, ordering someone to bring the last two princesses of the Zhou Dynasty.
Jin Yao became even more confused. Why did the princess of Zhou be entrusted to his care?
"Why me?" Jin Yao was very confused. The Zhou Dynasty was not without descendants. The Yan State also had the surname Ji and was the bloodline of the Zhou emperor. The royal family of Yan should be the one who should be taken care of by the princess.
"We don't know about this either. Maybe the box will give you the answer!" said the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
They also wanted to know why, although Jin Yao was famous, he was only famous in the State of Zhao. He had not yet reached the level of being famous throughout the world and being valued by the Emperor of Zhou.
Jin Yao did not open the box directly because the God-Slaying Swordsman had already brought in two girls who were about his age.
The splendid clothes showed that they were once extraordinary. One was as fiery as smoke, and the other was as cold as the moon.
Jin Yao was looking at the two of them, and the two of them were also looking at Jin Yao, but neither of them spoke.
"You still don't understand your true identity!" The girl in cold clothes as white as the moon spoke coldly at last.
"My identity?" Jin Yao was confused.
The cold girl looked at the six-fingered black hero and said, "Master, please step back!"
The Six-Fingered Black Knight nodded and waved his hand. He and Master Ban also left together. This might be the secret of the Zhou Dynasty. Although the emperor was dead, the hundreds of families still respected him and did not think of sniffing out the secrets of the Zhou Dynasty.
After the Six-Fingered Black Knight and others left, only Jin Yao and the two girls were left.
"Fei Yan, Ru Yue, greetings to my brother!" After the two girls looked at each other, they suddenly bowed.
"Ah?" Jin Yao was stunned. In the seven countries of the world, even the sons of the princes who proclaimed themselves kings could only be called sons and did not dare to be given the title of king.
"Brother, don't be surprised. Your surname is Ji, and you are a prince of the Zhou royal family!" said the fiery girl Princess Feiyan with a smile.
"Brother, use the blood as a guide, and you will know if you open the secret box!" The cold moon girl also spoke, looking at the bronze secret box with a Chilong left by Master Ban in Jin Yao's hand.
Jin Yao hesitantly stretched out his right hand, and his index finger touched a thimble in the center of the box. The thimble pierced his index finger, and a drop of blood flowed along the thimble into the groove on the box.
"Click, click, click~" the sound of the mechanism turning was heard, and the dragon on the bronze secret box swam, and finally the tight lock slowly opened, and the whole bronze secret box gradually opened.
The bronze secret box opened, and a square dark green phoenix-shaped black jade seal appeared in front of the three people.
"The Emperor's Seal?" Jin Yao was stunned. The high-flying phoenix represented the totem of Zhou, and there was only one place in the world that could use black jade as a seal, the Emperor's Seal!
In addition to the emperor's seal, there was also a piece of folded golden silk cloth.
"Genealogy of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" The Fiery Girl and the Cold Moon Girl unfolded the silk cloth, and six large golden characters appeared at the top.
"This is the genealogy of the Zhou Dynasty!" Jin Yao looked at a tree-like diagram of personal names on the silk cloth. The long silk cloth clearly stated that the Zhou Dynasty started from the ancestor Jiang Yuanli, who gave birth to Hou Ji, and ended with King Nan of Zhou, Ji Yan.
Then Jin Yao found his own name at the very end, Ji Yao, grandfather Ji Yan, father Ji Jie!
"I am a prince of the Zhou Dynasty?" Jin Yao was stunned. Wasn't his father Jin Bi? How could it be Ji Jie? Moreover, his grandfather was the last Zhou emperor, King Nan of Zhou!
If a story happens to someone else, it is a story; if it happens to yourself, it is an accident.
He once laughed at King Nan of Zhou being stripped and displayed to the public by King Zhao of Qin, and laughed at the decline and demise of the Zhou Dynasty. But now, it seemed that God was playing a big joke on him, and he was actually the last prince of the Zhou Dynasty!
