Merton's plan for the Ten Outer Paths was only a general talk, and many details were needed for its specific implementation, and the important ministers of the court attached great importance to the Outer Ten Paths Plan, and soon continued to discuss and improve the Outer Ten Ways Plan with Li Shimin.

And although Merton's level is low, after all, he proposed it, and he was also retained, knowing that the Manchu Dynasty boss took out all the things in his mind about the Outer Ten Dao Plan, so he was satisfied and blasted him away.

"Cross the river and tear down the bridge!"

Merton walked out of the Taiji Hall and looked at the usually virtuous and respected ministers with the smile of Grandma Wolf, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Seeing that it was not early, Mo Dun was ready to go back to Mofu, and now Princess Changle and the child are still staying in Jiucheng Palace with Empress Changsun, I am afraid that he will return tomorrow, and today he can only stay alone in the empty room.

Morton had just walked out of the palace, and sure enough, he saw the Mo family's convoy that rushed to hear the news appear outside the palace, led by Wu Meiniang, the senior sister of the Mo family.

"Master!" Wu Meiniang saw Mo Dun appear, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, when Mo Jia Village heard the news of the assassination, she was simply scared into a cold sweat, and later heard that Mo Dun was safe, so she sent Wu Meiniang to greet her.

Merton nodded, and was about to step into the carriage, when suddenly a hurried voice came from behind him.

"Please also ask Mohou to save me!"

Merton turned his head to look, only to see that it was Xi Junmai, the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

Morton said with surprise on his face: "Why did Brother Xi say this? ”

Xi Junmai smiled bitterly: "Didn't Mohou ask knowingly? Xi was ordered to protect His Majesty's safety, but there was an assassination of His Majesty in Jiucheng Palace, which frightened His Majesty and the Queen, and even affected Mohou, if it wasn't for Mohou to turn the tide, I am afraid that today's events will be a catastrophe, Xi's death is not a pity, but if His Majesty and the Queen are affected, then the crime should be ten thousand deaths. ”

Thinking of this, Merton couldn't help but sigh, how thrilling the situation was in the early morning, if he hadn't woken everyone up with the sound of gunshots, Sun Wukai had a wit to find a way to distinguish the Turkic rebels from the Tang army, I am afraid that he would really be succeeded by Ashina's association.

"Brother Xi wants me to intercede with you in front of His Majesty?" Merton asked.

Xi Junmai shook his head and said: "No, how could Xi be so embarrassed by Mohou, what I want is a peerless weapon in Mohou's hands, to create an invincible guard for Your Majesty, enough to destroy any enemy who comes to attack, so that Your Majesty can rest easy, so as to atone for your sins." ”

Xi Junmai after this battle? Seeing the wounds of the corpses of the Turkic rebels who attacked Yaenomiya? I couldn't help but gasp, as many as half of the rebels who died in the hands of Mo Hou with peerless weapons? And it's all a one-hit kill? Xi Junmai believes that once the Praetorian Guards have such a killing weapon in their hands? Not to mention the Turkic rebels of 100 people, even the thousands of rebels have gone and never returned? Enough to make His Majesty's safety foolproof.

Merton frowned and said, "It's not that Mo is unwilling to help Brother Xi!" But the current craftsmanship of this weapon is not perfect? It was extremely difficult to build, and it was simply not enough to support the large-scale equipment of the Janissaries. ”

Xi Junmai waved his hand and said: "It won't be equipped on a large scale, just a team of 100 people, or even a team of 10 people." ”

What he wants to do now is not want to equip weapons on a large scale? But to atone for Li Shimin's sins? After all, this assassination happened when he was in charge of the security of Jiucheng Palace, and he was responsible for it no matter what.

Merton glanced at Xi Junmai sympathetically, according to Xi Junmai's deployment, there was no negligence at all, but who would have thought that it would be the people of the internal guards who rebelled and assassinated? I'm afraid that even Li Shimin never thought that the Turks would rebel.

"Did that brother ever think that this peerless weapon is incomparably powerful? As long as you aim at the target, you will hit within 50 steps? Is it a double-edged sword that can hurt both others and oneself? What if any more ill-intentioned people have this weapon? I'm afraid Your Majesty is not as lucky as this assassination? Unless you can create a way to defend against this peerless weapon, you must not bring this weapon close to Your Majesty. Merton reminded.

Xi Junmai's face turned pale suddenly, he only saw the attack power of the peerless weapon, but subconsciously ignored the danger of the peerless weapon, you must know that what Xi Junmai is facing is not a frontal attack, but a conspiracy to assassinate, once the rebel tries to get this weapon, I am afraid that Li Shimin will be even more dangerous, if Morton really helped Xi Junmai, I am afraid that instead of atonement, it will be a mistake on top of a mistake.

"Thank you Mohou for the reminder!" Xi Junmai's face couldn't help but turn gloomy, he originally wanted to use the peerless weapon in Merton's hand to atone for his sins, but now it seems that it will not work.

"But if Brother Xi wants to atone for his sins, it's not impossible." Merton's words shifted.

Xi Junmai's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at Mo Jiazi with a look of surprise, you must know that the methods in Mo Jiazi's mouth are all good prescriptions, and in the Taiji Palace, the Outer Ten Dao Plan that allows a group of important ministers to obtain a treasure is the best example.

"Please also ask Mohou to teach me!" Xi Junmai gave a solemn salute and asked for advice.

Merton took half a step back and avoided: "Brother Xi is polite, we are all for His Majesty's safety, and it is a matter of course." ”

"Mohou is loyal to His Majesty, heaven and earth can learn from it!" Xi Jun bought a serious book and patted Merton's sycophants.

The corners of Merton's mouth twitched, he was also for his own safety, he didn't want to experience another assassination.

"I don't know if Brother Xi has heard such a story, the Chu people have a shield and a spear, and the reputation says: 'My shield is strong, and things can't be trapped.'" He also praised his spear and said: 'The benefit of my spear is all in things.' Or say, 'What is the shield of the son in a trap with the spear of the son?' 'His people are also able to respond. The shield that cannot be trapped and the spear that is not trapped cannot stand together in the world. Merton asked.

Xi Junmai nodded and said, "This is "Han Feizi. Hard One".

"And the Praetorian Guard led by Brother Xi is His Majesty's shield, and the assassin is the spear that attacks." Merton nodded.

Xi Junmai's face was suddenly flushed, Merton's words made him ashamed of himself, the Praetorian Guards he led were like a man who sold shields, boasting of the strength of my shield, and things could not be trapped, but in reality, Xi Junmai was slapped in the face, his shield was broken four layers by the Turkic rebels, and he became the person who talked about it and did not match his words and deeds.

"Han Feizi is sarcastic about those who are inconsistent in words and deeds, but Mo believes that there is a great knowledge between the spear and the shield, a spear cannot pierce a hard shield, but will give birth to a sharper spear, until the shield is pierced, and the shield will continue to improve, into a stronger shield, until it can resist a sharper spear, and so on, although the spear and the shield are opposed to each other, but they can promote each other to be stronger, there is no strongest, only stronger." Merton nodded.

Xi Junmai nodded slowly, now that his shield was broken, he would work hard, bow his head and ask Merton for advice to strive to build a more powerful shield.

"However, the shield that cannot be trapped and the spear that is not trapped cannot stand together in the world, where in reality there will be assassins every day, even if Brother Xi once again builds the Praetorian Guard into the strongest shield, but I don't know how sharp the spear is, when it will come, this shield will be broken one day." Merton Road.

Xi Junmai's scalp suddenly went numb, he was about to go crazy, he was a martial artist, and he was about to be dizzy by the philosophy of the Mo family, according to Morton's meaning, then no matter what he did, he would not be able to prevent the assassin.

Merton saw that Xi Junmai was about to collapse, and finally stopped selling Guanzi, and said directly: "In this case, then Brother Xi might as well do it once, what the ancients did not do, trap the shield of the son with the spear of the son, the spear is broken, continue to build the strongest spear, the shield is broken, continue to build the strongest shield." ”

Xi Junmai suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his heart suddenly brightened, and he said in surprise: "Mohou means to divide the Praetorian Guard into two teams, one team is a spear, dressed as an assassin, and the other team is a shield, to protect Your Majesty thoroughly, and the two teams will practice to find out the shortcomings of the shield and make Your Majesty safe and worry-free." ”

Merton nodded with a smile and said: "Not only that, but you can also swap spears and shields, and even bury internal responses in contradictions, increasing the difficulty." ”

"Thank you Mohou for your advice."

The more Xi Junmai thought about it, the more excited he became, this method is not confined to one moment, but allows His Majesty's safety to be upgraded continuously until there are no more flaws, foolproof.

Xi Junmai thanked him again and again, and then turned around and left, he can only atone for his sins by perfecting this method as soon as possible.

"Mei Niang! As a teacher, you have just heard the contradiction. After Xi Junmai left, Morton said to Wu Meiniang, who was listening attentively.

Wu Meiniang stood aside and said crisply: "Back to Master, the apprentices have heard clearly!" ”

"From today onwards, contradictions will become your homework, and there is a great deal of knowledge in it, so you should not take it lightly, and the teacher will check it regularly." Merton said loudly.

"Yes, Master!"

Wu Meiniang's face suddenly turned bitter, and she suddenly knew that her good days were over, but from the importance of the master, she could guess how much homework was in the contradiction.

"However, according to Master's words, the study of contradictions is one positive and one negative, which requires the cooperation of two parties, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to complete it alone." Wu Meiniang thought in her heart.

Suddenly, Wu Meiniang remembered a coward who often held the Tang Dynasty Law to strengthen his courage, although Di Renjie was timid, but he could still make a few moves with her, it happened that the contradiction originated from the Legalists, and it was most suitable to find him as a shield.

And she's going to be a spear.
