All Hail Cousin Brother Chapter 366 - 366 Only One Can Dominate

Chapter 366 - 366 Only One Can Dominate

366 Only One Can Dominate

Mr. Xian Yun sighed slightly. “Only one person can dominate the common people. Once the Ghost Valley appears, the world will rise and fall!”

Mr. Hu Shan also sighed slightly. “In the past, Su Qin united the six states and sealed the seals of the six states, forcing the State of Qin to abolish its claim to the throne. However, he was defeated by Zhang Yi who dismantled the alliance of the six states and helped the State of Qin dominate the chaotic world.”

“Pang Juan was brave and invincible. He caused the originally weak Wei Country to dominate the Central Plains, but they were defeated by the invincible Sage Sun Bin. He surrounded Wei to save Zhao, plotted to kill Pang Juan, and wrote an unprecedented war book to be pa.s.sed down to the future generations.”

“After that, Zhang Liang met Duke Huang Shi and obtained the ‘Six Secret Teachings’. He was wise and resourceful. He urged Liu Bang to speak humbly at the Hongmen Banquet and conserve his strength, allowing Liu Bang to escape successfully and help the King of Han, Liu Bang, win the war between the Chu and Han dynasties.”

“They’re all sages of the Ghost Valley. The words of one person are more important than the treasures of the nine cauldrons. Their tongues are better than a million soldiers. The world will prosper with a smile, and the lords will fear them in anger!”

At the mention of Ghost Valley, Mr. Hu Shan also sighed repeatedly. The first things that appeared in his mind were the unpredictable and famous big shots in history.

He wondered what kind of storm the Great Zhou Dynasty would face.

Mr. Xian Yun sighed slightly. “How could I not know? Now that I’m in a situation, Yin Huaixi is holding a chess piece in his hand and using the world as a chessboard. The first move has destroyed the loyalty and kindness of the va.s.sal kings, forcing King Ping to risk everything and send his heir to the capital as a hostage.”

King Ping valued his heir very much. Unless it was absolutely necessary, how could he send a son he had high hopes for into the capital as a hostage?

“His move is to shake the country and overturn the world. Now, his butcher’s knife is already at the Marquis of Changxing’s neck, pointing at Youzhou. If I don’t become a chess piece and wait for the Di people to march in, who knows how many innocent citizens will die under their cavalry.”

Mr. Hu Shan was silent. Then, he thought of the current situation. The va.s.sal lords would definitely rebel. It was already a foregone conclusion.

Mr. Xian Yun couldn’t help but think of the young man who had narrowly defeated him in the thesis discussion back then.

He had originally thought that Yin Huaixi had schemed and won unfairly. However, he had never expected that one day, he would actually become a chess piece in his hands.

After Mr. Xian Yun entered the residence, Yu Youyao went to the Green House to look for her cousin.

Zhou Linghuai was repairing the painting in the study when he heard Yu Youyao’s light footsteps. He looked down and saw that the newly repaired part of the painting had already dried, so he picked up the painting and put it away.

At this moment, Yu Youyao poked her head in and smiled. “Cousin, there’s a strong smell of paint in the study. Did you paint just now?”

Zhou Linghuai nodded. “I’m repairing the painting. I’ve just finished a portion.”

In other words, he was no longer repairing the painting.

Yu Youyao understood and picked up her dress to enter the house. She looked curiously at the painting that her cousin had placed aside. “Cousin, what did you draw? Can you show it to me?”

This painting was especially big, so it should be large. Her cousin also treasured this painting very much. She had come over a few times and had seen her cousin repairing this painting. Thinking about it carefully, it had been almost a month. She wondered what he had drawn.

Zhou Linghuai shook his head. “I’ll show you when it’s fixed.”

Yu Youyao pouted. “I wonder when such a big painting will be repaired. Cousin, are you worried that I’ll ask you for it, so you deliberately didn’t show it to me?”

When Zhou Linghuai heard this, he smiled. “That’s my thought!”

Ever since he came to the Yu Residence, he had drawn many paintings. These works had all been asked for by the little girl with various reasons, excuses, wheedling, cheating, and acting cute.

He did not leave many behind.

Yu Youyao puffed up her cheeks. “Cousin, what are you saying? It’s true that I am asking you for it, but you have to be willing to give it to me. It also has to be consensual.”

Zhou Linghuai immediately laughed. Wasn’t one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer?

When the little girl started to torture people, even Old Madam Yu, who was old and shrewd, couldn’t take it.

Every time he looked at the little girl, she would raise her swan neck and little head to look at him with sparkling eyes. He wished he could give her his heart.

“This time, I beg you to be magnanimous.” As he spoke, Zhou Linghuai turned to look at the colorful peony vase behind the desk.

Yu Youyao followed his gaze.

There were only a few scrolls in the huge bottle. If he put in the paintings she had asked for previously, the bottle would be full.

Yu Youyao’s eyes wandered around the study. “Cousin, forget it if you don’t want to give it to me. I don’t have to have it.”

Zhou Linghuai was amused by the little girl’s guilty expression. “I’ll draw other paintings for Cousin in the future.”

As for this “Bodhisattva”…

He often thought of the scene of the little girl standing under the Bodhi tree and making a wish. The Bodhi tree was not as bright and beautiful as her. The thousands of gla.s.s Buddhas in the world were not as pure and flawless as her.

It was like the meeting of Cao Zhi and G.o.ddess Luoshen at the Luoshui River. He had never seen that scene with his own eyes, but he had also had wild thoughts. Although he did not draw that painting like Gu Kaizhi, he had drawn the Bodhisattva.

On the Bodhi tree, there were thousands of wishing silks, and even more fell in the wind. However, he happened to see the wishing silk that the little girl had made for him.

He did not believe in Buddhism, but he did believe in the so-called karma scripture.

Therefore, he wanted to keep this Bodhisattva for himself.

Yu Youyao, who had originally also felt embarra.s.sed to ask her cousin for a painting in the future, smiled again when she heard this. “Cousin was willing to give it to me.”

Zhou Linghuai nodded. “Yes, I’m willing to give Cousin all my brushes and ink.”

Yu Youyao smiled and raised her eyebrows. “Cousin, don’t worry. I’ve smoked the brush and ink you gave me. I’ll keep them in a top-notch wooden box. I’ll take them out to ventilate them every once in a while. They’ll definitely be preserved for a long time.”

The corners of Zhou Linghuai’s mouth curled up.

Only then did Yu Youyao change the topic. “Mr. Xian Yun entered the residence today. Why are you still in The Green House? Don’t you plan to go to the west room to take a look?”

If her cousin caught Mr. Xian Yun’s eye and casually picked his brain, it would be better than studying for countless years.

This was despite the fact that her cousin was talented. Even without Mr. Xian Yun’s guidance, he was still very impressive!

However, Mr. Xian Yun was famous around the world. Wasn’t it the dream of all the students in the world to meet the famous Great Sage and admire his talent?

Zhou Linghuai chuckled. “Do you know that Mr. Xian Yun traveled to Youzhou four years ago?”

Yu Youyao first nodded, then she thought of something and her eyes widened. “Cousin, don’t tell me you met Mr. Xian Yun four years ago!”

Calculating the time, autumn had only just started when Mr. Xian Yun traveled to Youzhou. At the end of autumn that same year, the Di people had invaded on a large scale. It had been more than three years, almost four years.
