Chapter 544 'Many things are not right or wrong!'

The cold was piercing, without any warmth. The murderous aura tempered by slaughtering countless lives overflowed recklessly and was imposed on Tianxuan. In an instant, Tianxuan, Yanfei, and Yueshen seemed to be transformed from loving couples into irreconcilable enemies!
"Husband, do you know?"

Yan Fei slowly stood up, her pretty face frozen. Although she still called Tian Xuan her husband, there was no warmth in her.

Tianxuan did not show any emotion while enduring the murderous aura from his beloved wife and beautiful concubines. He simply regarded the murderous aura surging around him as a gentle breeze blowing on his face.

"In fact, I knew your identities ten years ago."

"Ten years ago, you knew our identity?" Yue Shen was very surprised to hear Tian Xuan say this, and her cherry lips opened wide.

Tianxuan nodded slightly: "The daughter of Ji Yan, the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty!"

As soon as Tianxuan said this, Yanfei and Yueshen, the two girls whose identities he revealed, all changed color. The hidden pain that had been buried deep in their hearts for a long time broke out. A deep sadness appeared on the faces of the two girls from the bottom of their hearts. Their beautiful eyes were full of crystal, and their graceful bodies trembled like duckweed in the wind.

King Nan of Zhou, Ji Yan, was the son of King Shenjing of Zhou. He was the 25th and last monarch of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the longest reigning monarch of the Zhou Dynasty. During the reign of King Nan of Zhou, the rule of the Zhou Dynasty was limited to the royal capital. The power of the Qin State expanded rapidly and regarded itself as the overlord of the Western Rong. King Zhaoxiang of Qin basically replaced the position of the Zhou emperor. King Nan of Zhou was powerless to prevent the demise of the Zhou Dynasty. However, in order to save the declining Zhou Dynasty, King Nan of Zhou, under the instigation of the Chu State, launched a conspiracy and borrowed money from the rich families in the country. Unexpectedly, on the agreed date, the troops of the agreed countries did not arrive. In order to avoid the rich families in the country holding bonds, King Nan of Zhou could only flee to a high platform in the palace, leaving behind the eternal laughing stock of "debt-ridden".

In the fifty-ninth year of King Nan of Zhou, King Nan of Zhou died, announcing the end of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou people fled eastward, and Qin took the Nine Cauldrons. Seven years later, King Zhuangxiang of Qin destroyed the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, marking the end of the last bloodline of the Zhou Dynasty. The world would be ruled by Qin, the former domestic slave who raised horses for the Zhou emperor!
Although King Nan of Zhou was the king who brought about the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty at that time was in a state of disarray even if King Wen and King Wu of Zhou were reborn, so he could not be blamed.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen were daughters of King Nan of Zhou. They were still young when the Zhou Dynasty fell, but everything they experienced in their childhood was deeply engraved in their hearts like an indelible mark. Tian Xuan's words aroused the pain of the loss of their country and their hatred for the Qin people. In their grief, the two girls looked at Tian Xuan, the enemy who destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty - the great-great-grandson of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and the grandson of King Zhuangxiang of Qin. Their eyes were full of coldness, and they wished to tear him into pieces.

"Husband, since you knew our identities ten years ago,"

Amid the solemn and depressing atmosphere, the Moon Goddess spoke again with an icy tone.

"Then why choose to reveal it now?"

Yan Fei also said: "With your intelligence, it is impossible that you don't understand. There are some things that you know but it is best to pretend that you don't know."

"Because once it's revealed, there will be no room for relaxation!" The Moon Goddess shook her head, her tone revealing the sadness from the bottom of her heart.

Facing the threats from his beloved wife and concubine, Tian Xuan remained calm, "Is there no room for easing the situation? I don't think so! Yan Fei, Yue Shen, do you want to restore your country?"

"hehe."

Hearing Tian Xuan's words, the two girls laughed at the same time, with endless self-mockery lingering in their hearts. "Restore the country?" Yan Fei smiled bitterly, "How is this possible!"

"Since King Ping of Zhou moved east, the Zhou Dynasty has been declining. The previous kings intended to achieve revival, but all of them were just illusions. First of all, we are not men, and secondly, we don't have the talent to rule the world. Even if we want to restore the country, we don't have the ability."

"If the chance of the six eastern countries to restore their country is one percent, then the chance of our two sisters reviving the Zhou Dynasty is only one in a million, or even lower!" Moon Goddess took over the conversation in tacit understanding.

Tian Xuan was very satisfied with Yan Fei and Yue Shen's self-awareness, and said, "Since King Ping of Zhou moved east, the various vassal states have been constantly waging wars for hegemony. Ask yourselves, as the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, has our Great Qin ever done anything wrong to the Zhou Dynasty?"

"After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, our ancestors raised horses for the Zhou royal family in order to survive, and the Zhou royal family gave us Qin people a bite to eat. During the reign of Duke Xiang of Qin, our ancestors led troops to escort King Ping of Zhou to migrate eastward and were canonized by King Ping. King Ping of Zhou gave the land west of Mount Qishan to Qin, and from then on Qin became a vassal state of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"But the fiefs granted were all conquered by the Qin people themselves, not just a piece of land that they just sat back and enjoyed, right?"

When Tianxuan said this, Yanfei and Yueshen both turned pale and moved their lips. They wanted to refute but didn't know what to say. What Tianxuan said was right.

Although the Zhou emperor was the ruler of the world, it was more of a nominal title. Not only the Qin State, but also the territories of Qi, Jin, Yan and other vassal states were mostly conquered by the founding monarchs with their followers. This method of enthronement certainly expanded the territory ruled by the Zhou Dynasty in name, but on the other hand, once the royal family declined, the vassal states had enough reasons to no longer obey the emperor's orders.

"Of course, as orphans of the Zhou Dynasty, if you want to seek revenge, no one will object." Tian Xuan admired the changing expressions of Yan Fei and Yue Shen with a smug look, and said leisurely, "After all, in this world, many things are neither right nor wrong."

"But, let me say this myself. If the remnants of the previous dynasty can take revenge on the new dynasty, then as the descendants of Bo Yi, shouldn't we Qin people go to Xia Qi to settle accounts? As the descendants of Xia Jie and Gui Lugui, shouldn't we go to Shang Tang to settle accounts? As the descendants of Shang Zhou's prince Shoude, shouldn't it be natural for us to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty and rebuild the Shang Dynasty?"

"this?"

What Tianxuan said was of course a perverse logic. The examples he cited were all hundreds or thousands of years apart, and it was ridiculous to continue to care about them. But there was some truth in it. As he said, many things were neither right nor wrong. Yan Fei and Yue Shen, the two girls, did not have much in mind for revenge, and subconsciously followed Tianxuan's perverse logic, so that the fire of revenge that had just been rekindled was about to go out like a flame hit by a storm.

Yan Fei's lips moved, her pretty face full of hesitation and struggle. She subconsciously wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say.

Tianxuan noticed the changes in Yan Fei and Yue Shen's expressions, and knew that they were moved by his persuasion. He stepped between the two women, stretched out his arms, hugged the two women's jade-like shoulders, held them in his arms, and silently practiced his skills, using his own skills to stimulate their charm that was increasing day by day as his cultivation continued to improve.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen, who had formed countless bonds with Tian Xuan, smelled the masculine scent coming from Tian Xuan and felt intoxicated. Their two fair and jade-like faces were flushed with the same blush.
