Chapter 498 Slow Down
Two months ago.

Xiang Yan committed suicide on the battlefield.

Cheng Jiao did not stop him and gave him some respect.

Ji Bu and Ying Bu were persuaded by Cheng Jiao with his fists and cooperated with Cheng Jiao to command the Shadow Tiger Legion and the Thunder Leopard Legion.

It was not that they wanted to cooperate, but Cheng Jiao simply summoned an extremely intimidating Thunder Kirin that was a hundred feet tall, which frightened the 100,000 troops so much that they turned pale and surrendered.

Two months later, Cheng Jiao led 100,000 Qin troops and began to advance deep into the State of Chu.

"Ji Bu, your sister is doing well in the mansion and is not alone, so you don't have to worry. When the war is over, you can go to Xianyang to live. If you want to continue to serve in the army, I will arrange it for you."

Cheng Jiao was riding on a horse and talking to Ji Bu.

Ying Bu rode his horse feeling somewhat depressed. He had just been promoted to the commander of the Thunder Leopard Corps, and before he could even fight and show off his power, he and his Thunderstorm Corps were directly handed over.

If it weren't for Ji Bu's guarantee, he would still be in the prison car.

"Thank you, Marquis Chang'an."

Ji Bu bowed and said that he was helpless and did not expect this would be the outcome.

In other words, he had thought about defeat, but he didn't expect it to be so hasty, like a child playing house.

Cheng Jiao corrected him: "Call me brother-in-law."

When Ying Bu heard this, he was immediately happy and wanted to see Ji Bu's reaction.

"...brother-in-law."

Ji Bu shouted somewhat awkwardly.

He had no resistance to this. After all, his sister really became Cheng Jiao's concubine and was indeed his brother-in-law in name.

Cheng Jiao was very pleased.

Then he started thinking about how to get Brother Wei Zhuang to call him brother-in-law.

After careful calculation, I found that the difficulty is quite high.

I'm afraid Brother Wei Zhuang would rather commit suicide than call me brother-in-law.

However, you can give it a try with Zi Nu, it won’t be a loss anyway.

Wei Zhuang, who was far away in the Xianyang Palace, was looking at the sky with some melancholy.

I didn't expect that not only South Korea is garbage, but Zhao, Wei and Chu are also garbage.

The Qin State conquered the Zhao State and the Wei State with almost no loss, and killed Xiang Yan of the Chu State on the battlefield.

Although he wanted Qin to destroy the six kingdoms, he did not expect that Qin could do it so easily.

If there is a variable, that variable is his nominal brother-in-law Cheng Jiao.

This person is his lifelong enemy except for his senior brother.

……

Cheng Jiao looked leisurely at Shouchun which was not far away.

According to the original plan, there was no intention to take over the State of Chu. After all, it would take a lot of time to digest the territories of the States of Zhao and Wei.

But who knew that Xiang Yan came to Wei State.

So in these two months, after simply controlling Zhao and Wei, Wang Jian took charge of the territories of Zhao and Wei, and he personally led 100,000 Qin troops to start sweeping the State of Chu.

There was no significant obstacle at all along the way.

After arriving in Shouchun, only 30,000 Qin troops were left.

The remaining Qin troops, as well as the Qin troops that arrived in Chu one after another, were dispersed into the captured cities.

Today, most of Qin's troops are stationed in Zhao, Wei and Chu. The domestic garrison is no more than 100,000, and there are only about 20,000 troops that can be flexibly deployed.

It is extremely difficult to control the land that has increased dramatically in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Yan and Qi were not brave enough, so the situation was relatively calm.

The Moon Goddess stood beside Cheng Jiao, touching her belly with her bare hands, and whispered, "If we take Shouchun, we will completely take over Chu. Yan and Qi are nothing to worry about. The luck of the seven countries will converge on Qin in a short time."

Cheng Jiao held Yue Shen's waist and stroked her bulging belly. After one or two months of hard work, Yue Shen successfully became pregnant.

Not long after the Moon Goddess became pregnant, Dasi had good luck and shot a soul, and it seemed that a new life was being conceived.

"It's already September, and winter will come soon. After we take Shouchun, we will return to Xianyang for the time being. You can rest and take care of your pregnancy. We will take over Yan and Qi in the spring next year."

Although Yan and Qi could be conquered if they hurried, Zheng Ge sent him several imperial edicts asking him to slow down, and he almost begged him to tears.

Now the manpower that Qin can mobilize, such as soldiers, civilians, and officials, as well as various materials that can be obtained without plundering the people's wealth, are visibly running out.

Cheng Jiao could understand Zheng Ge’s feelings, and felt both pain and happiness.

According to historical development, the unification work would have taken more than ten years, but he managed to squeeze it into three years. To be precise, in less than a year, he conquered the three countries that posed the most threat to Qin. There was Zhao, its eternal enemy, and Chu, with whom Qin had a hereditary marriage alliance. Each of them was a thorn in the side.

The Moon Goddess's beautiful eyes were covered with a veil, and there was hesitation in her eyes. "Sir, when are you going to marry my sister?"

Although in this era, being pregnant before marriage is not a big deal, especially among many nobles, it is very common to have several children before marriage, but Yue Shen hopes that Cheng Jiao can marry her senior sister. Even if she is proud, she has to admit that her senior sister is more suitable to be Cheng Jiao's wife than herself.

There are many women from the Yin-Yang family in Cheng Jiao's backyard now. Only when the senior sister takes the position first can their position be consolidated.

Wouldn't it be too funny if little girls like Zi Nu Jing Wei or even Hong Lian Niang Rong tried to intercept him?

Cheng Jiao did not notice the subtlety of Yue Shen's tone. He looked towards the gate of Shouchun City. The civil and military officials of Chu State, under the guidance of Queen Mother Li Huan and the child King of Chu, opened the city gate and surrendered by offering the land and seal.

"After the seven kingdoms are unified, we will resolve the hidden dangers of the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars."

The Moon Goddess nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

As long as Cheng Jiao's promise is there, her senior sister's will be safe.

Although she still complained about her senior sister, that was a habit she had from the past. In her heart, she understood her senior sister and even felt a little apologetic.

There was a hint of red on the delicate jade-like face of Da Siming.

She never thought that she would get pregnant so quickly. When she thought about the black and white sisters' painstaking efforts that ended up in vain, Da Siming wanted to laugh.

Listening to what Cheng Jiao and Lady Moon Goddess said, Da Siming seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that he could be safe in the future. He would have to teach the Black and White Sisters a lesson when he had the chance. He would pay them back for what they had done to him. He would let them have a taste of what it felt like to be turned into pigs and dogs in front of Cheng Jiao and let Cheng Jiao play with them!

Cheng Jiao brought the Moon God, the Great God of Life and some military ceremonial officers to the presence of the officials of the State of Chu.

Looking at Queen Mother Li Huan, who bowed respectfully with a flattering look in her eyes, Cheng Jiao waved his hand.

Li Huan hesitated for a moment. It would not be a good idea for her, the queen mother, to run to Cheng Jiao in public.

But the next moment, Li Huan abandoned all distracting thoughts. How could he not seize such a good opportunity?

Cheng Jiao's action directly announced to the world that Li Huan, the Queen Mother of Chu, was accepted by Cheng Jiao and became his woman.

When all the officials of the Chu State saw the Queen Mother approach Cheng Jiao and act as well-behaved and docile as a concubine, they were all shocked.

The ceremonial officer behind Cheng Jiao was already calculating in his mind: Lady Mingzhu of Korea and Lady Hu, Queen Chang of Zhao, Queen Li Huan of Chu...

Although everything in the defeated country is the wealth of the victor, but taking the queen mother at will... No one dared to mention this in front of Cheng Jiao.

Not to mention that Cheng Jiao destroyed three kingdoms in just a few months.

But after the King of Qin heard about it, he allowed Cheng Jiao to choose freely from the palaces of the six kingdoms. It is difficult to criticize Cheng Jiao's behavior.

According to others, if he were replaced by Cheng Jiao, none of the beauties from the six countries would be able to escape.

King 楚宫内。

Li Huan knelt beside Cheng Jiao, wearing the empress dowager's gorgeous clothes, holding a teapot in one hand, and personally brewed tea for Cheng Jiao.

The Moon Goddess and the Great God of Destiny watched quietly from the side.

Judging from the familiarity between Cheng Jiao and Li Huan just now, they seemed to be old acquaintances and had a close relationship. According to Cheng Jiao's past experience, it was very likely that the former Queen Mother of Chu had hooked up with Cheng Jiao and became his secret lover.

"Sir, what should we do with the child of the King of Chu?"

Li Huan asked softly, with some inexplicable meaning in her beautiful eyes.

She has now announced to the world that she has become Cheng Jiao's concubine, but the current King of Chu is still her child in name only.

But the Chu State was destroyed, and if she continued to maintain this relationship, it would obviously do more harm than good and would most likely make Cheng Jiao unhappy.

Cheng Jiao took a sip of tea and said, "At the beginning, you said that this child was born to Chunshen Jun Huang Xie and his concubine. Later, you cooperated with Chunshen Jun and secretly switched the baby."

After hearing Cheng Jiao's words, Yue Shen and Da Siming subconsciously touched their bellies, realizing that they were really pregnant with Cheng Jiao's child.

Li Huan nodded and said, "Yes, my soul power was strong at that time, which made the King of Chu trust me unconsciously. This is also the reason why I can remain a virgin and wait for you to pick me."

Her tone was extremely flattering. Cheng Jiao had now completely become her breadwinner.

Moreover, if she wanted to break through to the Heavenly Man Realm, she had to ask Cheng Jiao to give her some excellent food.

There was a strange look on the pretty faces of Dasi Ming and Yue Shen.

They occasionally heard about it when they were in the mansion, and it seemed that Lady Mingzhu of Korea was the same.

Are the kings of various countries today so useless?

“Maybe this is fate.”

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "As for that child, he is Chunshen Jun's child after all. So we should make the relationship clear, spread the news, and demote him to a commoner."

Li Huan smiled softly: "That's exactly what I meant."

Anyway, it is the Chu royal family that is losing face, what does it have to do with her.

As for other people’s opinions, to her, they were not as important as Cheng Jiao’s look.

After being in the palace for a long time, she knew clearly who was the most important person to her.

Cheng Jiao stood up and asked: "Where are the other members of the Xiang clan now?"

Li Huan immediately boasted: "Half a month ago, I used a little trick to capture them in the palace. They have been imprisoned in the palace prison, waiting for your decision. Do you want to see them?"

"No wonder we didn't see anyone from the Xiang clan soon after we entered Chu."

Cheng Jiao glanced at Li Huan and said, "You have done a good job. These people and the people of the Chu royal family should be escorted to Xianyang, Qin. I will leave now."

Li Huan said respectfully: "I will follow your orders, sir."

Cheng Jiao embraced Li Huan and chuckled, "Now that the Chu State has become history, you can stay in the palace and serve me as the queen mother."

Li Huan paused for a moment, then said coquettishly: "Okay, today I will serve as your woman in the capacity of the Queen Mother, and let you enjoy the beauty of the Queen Mother."

Cheng Jiao laughed and was very pleased to see Li Huan, who had taken off her clothes and showed off her graceful figure.

When Da Siming saw that Cheng Jiao was in a good mood, he instinctively walked over and, like Li Huan, took off his cheongsam and prepared to continue playing as a support.

Cheng Jiao waved his hand and said, "You and Yue Shen should go out. You just got pregnant, don't hurt the fetus."

He is not a sex-hungry ghost. He continues to do things even though he knows that Yueshen and Dasi Ming are pregnant. What if someone dies?

Da Siming suddenly realized that she was pregnant with Cheng Jiao's child.

The Moon Goddess smiled, took the initiative to step forward, and put on the cheongsam that Da Siming had taken off, which made Da Siming flattered.

"Lord Moon God..."

After putting on the cheongsam, Da Siming felt a little embarrassed in front of the Moon Goddess.

The Moon Goddess said slowly, "You are the young master's woman, and now you are pregnant with his child. From now on, you and I will call each other sisters in private."

If Da Siming had not been lucky enough to have Cheng Jiao's child, she would not have treated Da Siming like this on purpose.

The Great God of Destiny said quickly: "I dare not, Master Moon God..."

She has been in the Yin-Yang family for many years, so how could she not know who the Moon God is and would not easily cross the line.

The Moon Goddess glanced at Queen Mother Li Huan, who was whispering to Cheng Jiao and preparing for a big fight, and interrupted him with a wave of her hand, saying, "Stop talking. Don't you even want to listen to me? Let's go out and don't disturb the young master's elegance."

The Great God of Destiny stole a glance at the Queen Mother of Chu, who was almost servile and fawning in front of Cheng Jiao, and said, "As you command, Master Moon God."

After leaving the hall with Yueshen, he was thinking in his heart that these queen dowagers were truly the best among women, able to take it or leave it.

Queen Mother Li Huan of Chu State was just like Queen Mother Chang of Zhao State. She wagged her tail and fawned on Cheng Jiao, acting like a dog without any hindrance.

In the main hall, Cheng Jiao enjoyed the teasing of Empress Dowager Li Huan very much.

He started to indulge himself immediately, and kept on having sex with the Queen Mother, who was more powerful than anyone else in the State of Chu.

Li Huan, who originally thought that he had reached the top level of strength and could fight with Cheng Jiao for several rounds, was completely defeated in just a short while.

In front of Cheng Jiao, he could no longer maintain a trace of human nature and could only passively endure the pressure from Cheng Jiao without being able to stop.

After a long time, seeing that Li Huan was breathing in more than exhaling, Cheng Jiao slowly called it a day.

He didn't even look at Queen Mother Li Huan. He sat cross-legged alone and began to practice in sage mode.

He reached the limit of heaven and man not long ago, and his cultivation reached the pinnacle.

I work hard every day, use the method of dual cultivation, and find time to practice.

Strive to break through as soon as possible and reach the realm of immortals and gods above the gods.

Completely become an invincible strong man in the world.

Of course, the most important thing is that the realm of immortals and gods can definitely prolong one's lifespan.

What puzzled him was that he had clearly reached the limit of the celestial being as described by Yue Shen and Yan Fei. With an unlimited supply of spiritual power, although his cultivation had been increasing, there was no sign of a breakthrough.

Could it be that the Yin-Yang longevity method he practiced was not the method practiced by the ancient Qigong practitioners, but a more profound immortal method?
Is it because of this that the limit of your current realm is further away than that of ordinary people, and you need more resources to practice?

With this thought in mind, Cheng Jiao continued to absorb and exhale the spiritual power in the elixir, as well as the spiritual energy in the heaven and earth.

Although the spiritual energy in the world is scarce, compared to the spiritual power in the Huiling Pill, it retains a trace of strange rhythm.

It was this peculiar rhythm that enabled him to break through more easily, which was why he took the trouble to absorb the rare spiritual energy in the world.
