Volume 1 Don't Look Back Chapter 34 Disputes
Qin Chuan held the iron sword and slowly pulled the iron sword out of the cloth bag behind his back. looked at the people who came around with a serious expression. For the two swords behind him, he didn't dare to pull out the crimson long sword, he only pulled it out once last time, even if he killed Gan Ruhu, but he almost lost his life, that strange feeling was that he never wanted to experience it a second time. As for the iron sword given to him by the old man of Banjie Village, he secretly pulled it out once before, but nothing unusual happened.
A six-year-old kid, armed with a short sword, standing in the middle of the crowd, always looked a little weird. But the people around him still slowly surrounded Qin Chuan.
There was a loud bang, and several sounds of breaking the sky were heard, and the masked mouths around him let out a muffled snort, and they fell to the ground, with a constantly trembling arrow stuck in their backs.
The sudden change caused the masked man in the lead to be stunned for a while, and just as he wanted to retreat and escape, a long arrow was inserted in front of the man, and when he looked up, he saw a sergeant in armor standing on the hillside not far away.
Figures flickered around, and dozens of sergeants, also in armor, appeared around with longbows in hand, with bowstrings drawn, facing the masked man.
The sergeant standing on the hillside waved his hand, and the two sergeants walked up to the masked man with a long sword in hand, and the masked man showed a look of despair on his face, and without making any resistance, the two sergeants put their swords against their necks, and then one of the sergeants ripped the man's face off the face with a single blow.
Seeing the man's face, Qin Chuan frowned, he still had an impression of this man, it was a guard beside Gan Mochou. In an instant, he had a vague guess about the matter. These interceptors were not bandits, but guards sent by Gan Mochou.
Could it be that Gan Mochou wants to kill himself? Qin Chuan thought silently in his heart.
The masked man walked past Qin Chuan's side under the escort of the sergeant, and said viciously: "Hmph, boy, you are lucky this time." My son-in-law will not let you go. ”
The masked man tried to say something, but he was punched in the corner of his mouth by the sergeant, swallowing back the words he was about to say, and then he was escorted out of the place by two sergeants.
And the sergeant who gave the order before walked up to Qin Chuan and looked at Qin Chuan, and then looked at the four people who were lying on the ground and were obviously dying, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and saluted Qin Chuan respectfully and said, "Chen Cangcheng guard general Zhongliang, I have seen Qin Gongzi." ”
Qin Chuan didn't dare to snub this guard of Chen Cangcheng, and also gave a salute to express his gratitude.
"If it weren't for General Zhong's timely rescue, I'm afraid the kid would really die here." Qin Chuan said sincerely. He can injure four people, relying on the sudden attack and the sharpness of his fists, if he faces the attacks of more than a dozen people head-on, he is not very sure in his heart.
Zhong Liang felt the sincerity in Qin Chuan's words, haha, and said to Qin Chuan with a smile that it didn't have to be like this, all this was arranged by Da Liang.
It turned out that Wei Ying replied that Chen Cangcheng arranged for the soldiers guarding the city to secretly follow Qin Chuan, so as not to let anyone plot against him, and sure enough, he was really guessed by Wei Ying.
Qin Chuan was silently grateful in his heart for all that Wei Ying had done for himself.
Then Zhong Liang asked Qin Chuan about his future plans, and Qin Chuan said them one by one, when he heard that Qin Chuan still planned to go alone, Zhong Liang wanted to continue to follow, but when he saw the determined look in Qin Chuan's eyes, and thought of the four people lying on the ground, he saw very clearly the situation where Qin Chuan knocked the four people to the ground with a few punches just now.
"Gongzi Qin, Da Liangzao originally asked me to wait to escort Gongzi to Mianzhucheng." Hearing that Qin Chuan didn't let himself and the others continue to escort him, Zhong Liang showed a look of embarrassment.
"General Zhongliang, the Great War of the Qin State is approaching, is it not a pity to waste the bravest soldiers of the Qin State on me? What's more, as long as I don't encounter a large number of thieves, one or two people can't hurt me. Qin Chuan smiled and waved the fist in his hand.
Seeing Qin Chuan's resolute attitude, Zhong Liang no longer insisted, but just told Qin Chuan that if he encountered any problems that could not be solved, he only needed to find the defender of Mianzhucheng, who was his sworn brother and would definitely help him.
Qin Chuan thanked Zhong Liang for his kindness, then said goodbye to Zhong Liang and the others, turned around and continued to walk along the mountain road towards Mianzhucheng.
Zhong Liang escorted the masked man towards Chen Cangcheng, and he faintly felt that Chen Cangcheng, who had been silent for many years, might have a little trouble because of this incident.
On the south bank of the Weishui River, hundreds of miles southeast of Mianzhucheng, between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, there is a group of mountains that rise from the ground. Like a sleeping beast, crawling on the earth, the mountains are dangerous, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and they are mysterious. This is the watershed of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the Nanshan Mountain of the Qin State, and the 800-mile Qinling Mountains in the old Qin population.
In the concept of the old Qin people, mountains and rivers are the source of life, and there are mountains and rivers, and there is the continuation of life. Mountains and water are connected, mountains give birth to water, water nourishes all things, and mountains and rivers are the mother of all things. And among the mysterious mountains and rivers, there will always be some desirable myths and legends. And the green mountains that extend out of the southeast of the Qinling Mountains are inaccessible, and they are the most mysterious and abundant places in heaven and earth.
According to legend, the Shennong's bull-headed human body, from the Qinling Mountains into this mountain, not only stepped on every mountain and canyon, but also taught the ancestors the method of farming, so that the ancestors away from hunger, and at the same time tasted all the herbs, to test the medicine, so that the ancestors away from the torture of disease. But in the end, he died in this mountain, and later generations named this mountain Shennong Mountain in order to pay tribute to this legendary figure.
On a mountain peak at the junction of Shennong Mountain and Qinling Mountains, there is a platform dug out by hand, and there is nothing special about the platform, and there is a smooth and neat cliff behind it. There are holes in the stone walls on both sides of the platform, and from time to time bursts of gurgling sounds come from these holes.
A black carrier pigeon crossed the vast mountain and came to the sky above this mountain, and after circling over the mountain peak for a few times, it landed on the platform like an arrow, and made a coo, coo, coo.
A squeaky sound came, and the originally smooth and neat mountain wall suddenly revealed a black hole, and a man in gray linen clothes came out of the black hole, holding some food in his hand, walked to the black pigeon and squatted down, untied the copper pipe tied to the pigeon's leg, stroked the pigeon's smooth black feathers, threw the food in his hand on the ground, and turned around and walked into the black hole. The black carrier pigeon on the platform eats the food on the platform, flapps its wings a few times, and burrows into a hole in the wall.
The man took the brass pipe in his hand and walked down a step. This is the headquarters of the Mo family, although it is located in the deep mountains, but it controls the movements of hundreds of thousands of Mo family people in the world.
Since the death of the Mohist patriarch, the Mohist school has gradually divided into three main branches, one of which advocates actively promoting the ideas of the Mohist patriarch and becoming an official, and this branch is called Wenmo or Shimo; The other branch mainly gathers some rangers, advocating physical fitness, chivalry and righteousness, and opposing war, this branch is called Wumo or Xia Mo; The last branch inherits the arithmetic science of the Mo patriarch, which is called Shumo.
The three branches have the same origin, but they each form a family, and each branch has a different division, for example, Wenmo is divided into Youshi and Debater; Wumo is divided into Xingxia and Wuxia, Xingxia advocates that the great chivalrous is for the country and the people; Martial arts advocates that words must be believed and deeds must be fruitful, so that words and deeds are in line with the festival. On the other hand, Shumo is divided into the school of institutions that study the art of mechanics and the school of arithmetic that studies arithmetic.
Each branch is independent of each other but cooperates with each other, and jointly carries forward the ideas of the Mohist patriarch and the Mohist school.
A huge wall at the end of the stairs blocked the way, and the gray sackcloth man stepped on the ground a few times, then reached out and tapped on the different parts of the wall a few times, only to hear a slight click, and the originally smooth wall suddenly cracked in the middle, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to enter and exit.
The gray sackcloth man quickly entered the gap. Behind the wall was a huge space, and the space was full of holes that had been dug out, and the man's footsteps did not stop, and he walked quickly towards the largest cave in the center.
At this time, the cave was brightly lit, and a huge stone statue was placed in the innermost part, and an incense table was placed underneath to worship. Under the incense case, there are three stone chairs, and there are five stone chairs on each side of the three stone chairs.
There were already people sitting on the stone chairs, three older and gray-haired old men sitting on the three stone chairs under the stone statues, and the stone chairs on the other sides were filled with men and women who were also dressed in gray linen.
The gray linen man walked into the cave, bowed to the three old men sitting on the upper seat, and said, "Qi Qi three giants, Liyang is urgent." As he spoke, he respectfully handed the brass pipe in his hand to the three old men in the first seat.
The kind-eyed old man sitting on the stone chair in the middle took the copper pipe in his hand, checked the seal, then disassembled the copper pipe, and pulled out the parchment note from it, when he saw the content on it, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and a complicated look flashed in his originally half-squinted cloudy eyes. Then he handed the note to the old man on the left, who thought he was slightly fat.
After the chubby old man read the content on the note, he slowly read out the content on the note: "Wei wants to kill Zhao, Qin wants to kill Wei, and the son is Yu Qin." ”
The men and women sitting at the bottom listened to the old man read out the contents of the note, and suddenly became a lot of discussions, and the originally quiet stone cave became noisy.
"Silence." The old man sitting in the center said these two words, and although his voice was weak, the cave fell silent in an instant.
"The world is not attacking, it is the legacy of the ancestors, and since the news has been confirmed, we must stop this disaster." After the old man sitting in the center finished speaking, he looked at the old man on his left.
The old man nodded, and then explained his arrangement.
Send people to Wei and Qin respectively, and if necessary, assassinate the main generals to disrupt the operation. On the other hand, when sending people to Korea and attacking Zhao, Wei must use the channel to persuade the Korean monarch to reject Wei's request to borrow the road. A two-pronged approach to stop this war.
Everyone nodded slightly after listening to the old man's words, and they agreed with such an arrangement.
"Since everyone has no objections, then it will be arranged like this." The chubby old man continued to speak. Then his voice changed, and he said softly: "Since the son of evil is still alive in the world, then he must send someone to eradicate it, so as not to ruin the reputation of my Mohist school." ”
The old man's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the thin old man, who was originally sitting on the far right, also put away his drowsy appearance and turned his head to look at the other two old friends who had been with him for many years.
"It's been seven years, don't you want to let go of a child?" The middle-aged old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes had a slightly sad voice.
"Hmph, if this evil son is not removed, how can my Mojia school abide by the ancestral teachings and help the world, and use this to establish authority, it can also make the disciples introspect. Let's talk about what to do. The chubby old man sitting on the stone chair on the left said indignantly.
After listening to the words of the two old men, the people sitting below began to talk in a whisper, some supporters, some opposers, and some silent and cold bystanders.
