Chapter 541: Lord Chu Nan: "Aren't you going to do it yourself?" (Please give me recommendations and rewards on Monday!)
In the Central Plains, during the Spring and Autumn Period, some consanguineous marriages still existed. For example, Duke Huan of Qi, Jiang Xiaobai, had affairs with nine women in his clan; King Ping of Chu took possession of his own daughter-in-law, etc. However, with the rise of various schools of thought, etiquette and morality were established, and such unethical behavior often brought about catastrophic disasters.
Nowadays, blood marriage within the same clan has disappeared, and the act of taking one's stepmother as a concubine is considered worse than that of animals by the people of the Central Plains. Therefore, Zhang Liang, as a Confucian disciple, naturally looked down on Maodun, the Khan of the Xiongnu, who took his stepmother as his own.
"Modun will definitely give the Hu Ji to the King of Donghu." Tianxuan caught the resentment on Zhang Liang's face and said in an unquestionable tone, "First send the BMW, then send the beauty! On the one hand, Maodun wants to paralyze the Donghu, making them think he is a soft egg and relax their vigilance; on the other hand, Maodun's giving his beloved BMW and beauty to the Donghu will make the Xiongnu people share a common hatred for the Donghu people. In this way, when the Donghu people ask the Xiongnu for things for the third time, Maodun will pretend to be angry and announce that he will use military force against the Donghu people, and the Xiongnu people will definitely share a common hatred for the Donghu people!"
"The Xiongnu have always been known for their brutality. The high priest must know that cooperating with the Xiongnu is like courting disaster. I think the high priest will most likely contact the Great Yuezhi."
"Besides, it is true that Maodun and I have a paternal vengeance. But when Touman Chanyu was alive, at the instigation of Hu Ji, he once planned to send Maodun to Donghu as a hostage. The relationship between father and son was weak. Compared with the illusory paternal vengeance, Maodun was more interested in how to swallow Donghu."
After exposing Maodun's strategy of arrogant soldiers, Tianxuan analyzed the three major forces on the grassland and determined that the high priest of Loulan would most likely win over the Dayuezhi for his own use.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right." After listening to Tianxuan's analysis, Zhang Liang nodded in satisfaction, agreeing with Tianxuan's opinion.
"Your Majesty, the goal of this battle is to conquer Loulan, bring back the dragon beast, Chiyou sword, and the soldier demon god to present to your majesty, and weaken the power of Dayuezhi as much as possible." Zhang Liang made the final summary, "However, if we weaken Dayuezhi, won't it provide convenience for the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun to unify the grassland?"
At the end of his speech, Zhang Liang smiled bitterly.
Tian Xuan was also helpless, he spread his hands and said: "This, there is nothing we can do about it."
"On the other hand, there's actually nothing wrong with this. After all, a great hero who unified the grasslands was easily defeated by the empire. This is enough to shock the grassland wolf tribe to the greatest extent and let them understand that wolves are just wolves and can never turn over a new leaf!"
At the end of his words, a hint of cold murderous intent flashed in Tianxuan's eyes.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right." After hearing Tianxuan's words, although Zhang Liang was still a little afraid of the grassland wolf tribe, he had to nod in agreement.

Yin-Yang School, Rashomon.
tread!tread!tread!
The deep and rhythmic footsteps echoed in the mysterious Rashomon Hall which was like a palace of stars, disrupting the orbits of the bright pearls that had transformed into stars. Even the invisible and intangible light of the stars and the moon were not spared, and retreated like the receding tide in the sound of footsteps that concealed profound skills.
At the end of Luosheng Hall, stood the highest leader of the Yin-Yang family, Donghuang Taiyi, clad in a black robe and mysterious. Although Donghuang Taiyi's facial features were covered by a hollow mask, his sight broke through the heavy mask and fell squarely on the bald, short old man strolling on the Xuanmiao Star Road.
Lord Chu Nan!
This dissident of the Yin-Yang School, the first person to say the eight words "Even if there are only three households in Chu, Chu will destroy Qin", once again came to Luosheng Hall to face Donghuang Taiyi, the highest leader of the Yin-Yang School. In Luosheng Hall, besides Donghuang Taiyi and Chu Nangong, there was only one person. That person was a pair of strange magic eyes as black as jade, without any trace of pupils. She was the queen of the small country in the Western Regions - Jingjue Kingdom. She was defeated in Tianxuan's war in the Western Regions and joined the Yin-Yang School by chance. Her real name was Wuchan Nagahai, a mountain ghost.
This master of the Yin-Yang School, whose status is equal to that of the five elders of the Yin-Yang School, no longer has the charm of the queen she once had. With a smile on her pretty face, her devilish eyes fell on Lord Chu Nan, and she restrained all her edges and corners, blending herself into the shadow of Donghuang Taiyi like a shadow.
"Mr. Chu Nan, did you bring the things?"
Donghuang Taiyi just watched Chu Nangong coming towards him, and when Chu Nangong crossed the star road with abysses on both sides and arrived at the high platform where Donghuang Taiyi was, Donghuang Taiyi spoke, and his calm words contained an unquestionable meaning.
"How can you guarantee that after I give you the things, you will keep your promise and use the Heaven-Defying Method to change Shao Yu's fate?"
When faced with Donghuang Taiyi's question, Duke Chu Nan did not immediately take out the copper box belonging to the Chu State and asked.
Although, Lord Chu Nan nominally belonged to the Yin-Yang School, he was a dissociated person of the Yin-Yang School, and Donghuang Taiyi would not really regard him as a member of the Yin-Yang School. At this critical juncture, Lord Chu Nan did not hesitate to tear off the veil of warmth that was already not much.
“Wrong!” Facing this question from Lord Chu Nan, even though Donghuang Taiyi’s face was covered by a mask and his expression could not be seen, the words that came from under the mask were enough to prove that he was not angry at Lord Chu Nan’s rude attitude. “Lord Chu Nan, the one who wants to use the Jiaotian Dafa to change Xiang Shaoyu’s fate is not me, but you!”
Following Donghuang Taiyi's words, the mountain ghost who was standing beside him like a maid took a step forward, waved his wide sleeves, and a scroll fell into his hand.
"This is the essence of the Great Law of the Heavens." Donghuang Taiyi spoke again, "Mr. Chu Nan, with your ability, you will be able to understand the Great Law of the Heavens in a month at most, and then you can change Xiang Shaoyu's fate by yourself."
"Aren't you going to do it yourself?" Hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, Lord Chu Nan looked at the scroll in the mountain ghost's hand with eager eyes, wishing he could grab it immediately. After taking a deep breath and calming his restless mind, Lord Chu Nan asked back with a puzzled tone.
"First, the Yin-Yang family is currently working for the empire, and Concubine Yan has the hope of becoming the first empress of the empire. It is naturally not convenient for me to intervene in such a rebellious act..."
"Hehe." Before Donghuang Taiyi could finish his words, Lord Chu Nan, who had been at odds with the Yin-Yang School for many years but knew very well what Donghuang Taiyi had done, couldn't help laughing out loud. The sarcastic laughter interrupted Donghuang Taiyi's words, full of mockery.
Donghuang Taiyi was still not angry. Under his dark robe came a magnetic voice of a middle-aged man: "Second, if you want to set up the Great Method of Crossing the Heavens, you must have a master who is at least at the Qianyuan Realm. Moreover, once the Great Method of Crossing the Heavens is set up, the person who sets up the formation will be punished by heaven for violating the way of heaven."
