Songhai City.

In a small valley on the outskirts of the city, there is a private house.

This is a secret stronghold of the Mo family, surrounded by several natural villages, where many aborigines live, which can be regarded as a kind of natural cover.

In the courtyard, Gai Nie sat on the stone steps, sharpening a wooden sword with a small knife.

Previously, in the Mojia Organ City, he faced off with his junior brother Wei Zhuang, but under the successive sneak attacks of Wei Zhuang's men, not only caused Duanmu Rong to be seriously injured and unconscious, but his own "Yuanhong" sword was also broken.

In this regard, Gai Nie behaved quite indifferently.

He didn't look for a replacement, because he felt that relying too much on weapons was not a good swordsman.

What he pursues is the realm of "unity of heaven and man" where no sword in his hand is better than a sword.

Of course, before reaching such a state, there must at least be a wooden sword to transition first.

On the surface, he was concentrating on sharpening the wooden sword, but in his heart, he was actually concerned about Duanmu Rong, whose life was hanging by a thread in the room.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

For a long time, Gai Nie has focused on cultivating swordsmanship, and has never been interested in the love affair between men and women.

However, when he was seriously injured and couldn't wake up, it was Duanmu Rong's wonderful rejuvenation that woke him up.

After that, the two were born and died together many times.

Although Duanmu Rong has always hidden her thoughts, she has never revealed her heart in front of Gai Nie.

But Gai Nie is not stupid, how could he not feel Duanmu Rong's mind at all?

Including the disciples of the Mo family, they had already seen Duanmu Rong's infatuation with Gai Nie.

It's just that Gai Nie pretended not to know and deliberately avoided this relationship.

In fact, he also has a good impression of Duanmu Rong, but he understands his mission.

He is destined to be a swordsman who wanders the world.

Destined to live in the shadow of swords and swords.

Therefore, he didn't want to drag Duanmu Rong down, and he didn't want her to be in danger all the time like himself.

But when the Mo family was in the city, Duanmu Rong flew out without hesitation and blocked Bai Feng's secret sneak attack for him.

Such an infatuated woman, in the world, I am afraid it is difficult to find a few.

If Duanmu Rong can't wake up again, Gai Nie's heart is destined to leave an indelible shadow of eternal life, and he is destined to feel guilty for the rest of his life.

A woman who does not hesitate and is willing to protect him with her life, such a woman deserves him to protect with his life in turn.

At this time, Xunzi was diagnosing Duanmu Rong inside.

Master Ban, Gao Yanli, Snow Girl, Thief Foot, Jing Tianming and other Mo disciples held their breath one by one, waiting for the results of the diagnosis.

After a long while, Xun Zifang sighed and said: "Duanmu girl is like a gossamer, and I am afraid that ordinary people will have no breath for a long time."

However, her obsession is very strong, and there should be something that can't be cut.

It is this obsession that maintains her last ray of vitality and makes her reluctant to leave this world......"

As soon as she heard this, the Snow Girl couldn't help but whimper: "She, she must be reluctant to leave everyone, woo woo woo ......"

The thief said sourly: "If you want me to say, Miss Rong must be reluctant to give up that guy...... She was unconscious precisely because that guy ......"

The thief is one of the elite disciples of the Mo family, and his light skills are unique, claiming that there is nothing in the world that cannot be stolen.

His life was picked up by Duanmu Rong, so he has both gratitude and admiration for Duanmu Rong, so he has always regarded Gai Nie as a rival in love......

"Hey, that guy you're talking about is an uncle, right?"

Jing Tianming immediately snorted dissatisfiedly at the thief.

The thief snorted, "Isn't it? If Miss Rong hadn't pounced stupidly, would she have been so badly injured? ”

"Alright, is this time to argue?"

The Snow Maiden glared at the thief dissatisfied.

The Snow Girl is also one of the leaders of the Mo family, Fang's name is "Zhao Wuji", her face is beautiful, she is good at illusion, music, ice and snow, and she is a pair of lovers with Gao Yuanli.

In addition to her, there are several leaders of the Mo family who came to Songhai.

Master Ban is the one with the highest position in the Mo family, and he is good at the Mo family's mechanical arts.

Gao Yuanli, a swordsman of the Mo family, is second only to Yan Dan in strength, and he can be regarded as the number one master of the Mo family.

In addition, there are "Medical Immortal" Duanmu Rong, "King of Thieves" thief, burly and powerful sledgehammer, and Ku Ding, who is ostensibly the shopkeeper of Songhai's "Youjian Inn".

On weekdays, the Snow Girl and Duanmu Rong are like sisters, so their eyes are red, and they salute Xun Zifu and say: "Please also ask Master Xun to use the magic hand rejuvenation technique to save Miss Rong." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Master Ban said casually: "Although there are differences between Confucianism and Mohist concepts, but now that Great Qin is trying its best to suppress the hundred schools of thought, the two of us should abandon our prejudices and join forces to fight together." ”

Ge Zi sighed: "It's not that the old man is unwilling to be treated, if you want to talk about medical skills, Duanmu girl comes from a medical family, and her medical skills are far more clever than the old man."

But because of this, Duanmu girl has tasted herbs since she was a child, and her resistance to medicine is much stronger than ordinary people.

The old man has an ancient recipe, and there is also a ready-made medicinal herb, that is, the Nine Springs Jade Leaf that is known as the holy product in medicine......"

"Nine Springs Jade Leaf?"

As soon as they heard this name, Master Ban and the others couldn't help but exclaim in unison.

Jing Tianming blinked and asked stupidly, "Nine Springs Jade Leaf?" What is this? ”

Xunzi smiled: "Little ghost, I can't explain it to you, in short, it is a rare elixir."

If it were someone else, this medicine would definitely be able to achieve the effect of rejuvenation.

But because of the special physique of Duanmu girl, she ...... I'm afraid the effect of this medicine will be greatly reduced......"

"Why don't you give it a try?"

The Snow Maiden said eagerly.

"No!" Xunzi immediately shook his head: "First, the jade leaf flower must be cultivated in water for seven hundred and forty-nine days, receiving sunshine and rain and dew, and it cannot be interrupted, otherwise it will fall short."

Second, once the drug is tested, if the desired effect is not achieved, then I am afraid that it will not be effective later.

Therefore, you must have a certain degree of certainty before you can use medicine, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find an elixir to treat Duanmu girl in this world. ”

"Huh? This...... This ......"

The hearts of the people sank and looked at each other.

"That'...... Is there no other way? ”

"Now there is another way, that is, supplemented with a special herb, this herb is called Snow Artemisia Raw Wolf Venom ......"

"What?"

"Artemisia raw wolf venom? This...... This is the most poisonous grass in the world......"

"That's right, Master Xun, Miss Rong is already seriously injured and unconscious, and her body is extremely weak, how can she let her take poisonous weeds?"

A group of people were puzzled and asked.

Xunzi stroked his beard and said: "The prescription is suitable for people, Duanmu girl has a special physique and is extremely resistant to medicine.

Although the wolf venom of Snow Artemisia is highly poisonous, if the dosage is accurate, it will not kill Duanmu girl, but it can make her fall into a dying state in a short time.

At that point, her resistance will be greatly reduced.

It is at such a time that if she is immediately allowed to take the Nine Springs Jade Leaf, it will have an excellent effect and achieve the effect of rebirth.

This is the only way the old man can come up with.

But the old man doesn't dare to guarantee that it will be foolproof, you can think for yourself. ”

"This ......"

Master Ban glanced at the Snow Girl with a look of embarrassment.

However, the Snow Maiden can't make up her mind.

After all, this is a major event in life, and if something goes wrong, then Duanmu Rong will never have a chance to wake up again.

"Mr. Gainie, the ovary is polite!"

At this time, Zhang Liang's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Master Ban, Confucian Zhang Liang is visiting!"

A disciple of the Mo family then walked to the door and reported.

"Ovary? Why is this kid here too? ”

Xunzi muttered to himself, and then walked out of the door.

Master Ban and the others also walked out one after another.

"Ovary, you...... Hey? Two ...... Why is it here? ”

As soon as he got out of the room, Xunzi subconsciously asked Zhang Liang about his intentions, but unexpectedly, he swept his eyes and found that the two people who came with Zhang Liang were actually a man and a woman who had met in the valley a few days ago.

"Junior Gu Ming, I've seen Master Xun!"

Xunzi is a Confucian sage, and it is natural for Gu Ming to call himself a junior.

"Little girl Mingzhu, I've seen Master Xun!"

"Huh? This, this, this...... Isn't she the heroine who beat the bandits last time? ”

Jing Tianming ran out and said with a look of surprise.

"This kid has such a good memory!"

The tide banshee smiled at Jing Tianming.

"Hey, hey......" Jing Tianming scratched his head embarrassedly, and then came back to his senses: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm not a child, tell you, I'm ......"

This kid was not convinced, and wanted to say that he was a giant of the Mo family.

"Ahem!"

Master Ban quickly coughed.

Jing Tianming swallowed back the words a little unwillingly.

Gu Ming smiled and arched his hand at the class master: "This must be the Mo family's leader class master, right?" ”

"Huh? You...... Do you know the old man? ”

Chao Nuchao covered her lips and smiled: "My son-in-law not only knows Master Ban, but also knows everyone present. For example, what did this kid want to say just now?

I want to say that you are actually the new giant of the Mo family, right? ”

"Huh? How do you know? ”

Jing Tianming looked stupid.

"What? You...... You little ghost turned out to be a Mo family giant? ”

Xunzi immediately glared at Jing Tianming.

He was completely kept in the dark about this matter, because at that time, the Qin army was searching for Jing Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu everywhere, and Zhang Liang let Jing Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu hide in Xiaoshengxian Village as Confucian disciples in order to save them.

"Junior...... Juniors ......"

Jing Tianming was speechless for a while, and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Liang.

Because he thought it was Zhang Liang who told Gu Ming and the others his true identity.

But at this time, Zhang Liang was also shocked and dazed......

Jing Tianming's identity was hidden from his uncle, how could he tell Gu Ming, who had a mysterious background?

At the same time, Gai Nie looked at the tide banshee fixedly......

Although the tide banshee changed her appearance, Gai Nie was not ordinary after all, according to his intuition, this was by no means an ordinary woman, and he had seen this woman before.

Who the hell is this woman? Why do you feel like you're familiar?

"Uncle Shi, disciple...... Disciple ......"

"Bastard, you...... You actually took it upon yourself to let the Mo family giants get mixed up with my little sage village......"

Gu Ming persuaded in time: "Master Xun is angry, and Brother Zifang is also forced to do this.

At present, the Great Qin Empire has rewarded the disciples of the Mo family with a lot of money, and posted wanted notices everywhere. Therefore, Brother Zifang's move is also to protect Tianming and Shaoyu. ”

"However, wouldn't my little Sage Village be ...... in this way?"

"Master Xun, this is not the place to talk, why don't I wait in the house and say?"

Xunzi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Gu Ming turned his head sideways and ordered, "Mingzhu, you are guarding outside and not letting any suspicious people approach." ”

"Yes, Childe!"

The tide banshee answered.

As soon as he heard the word Mingzhu, Gai Nie's inspiration flashed, and suddenly he remembered someone, and his face couldn't help but be shocked: "You are ......"

The tide banshee gestured: "Shhh, Gai Daxia, this matter will be discussed later." ”

At this moment, Gai Nie finally confirmed the guess in his heart, and his face became extremely exciting.

He never imagined that Mrs. Mingzhu, who had disappeared for many years, would appear here and now.

So, what exactly is her identity now?

With such a question in mind, Ganie walked into the house...... In short, today he must solve this mystery.

After all, the situation is quite chaotic now, and the sudden appearance of the tide banshee, what does it really mean?

When everyone sat down, Zhang Liang took the initiative to talk about what happened in Xiaoshengxian Village that day......

"On the same day, Li Si brought the famous Gongsun Linglong and others to suppress my Confucianism. Fortunately, Brother Gu came forward in time, and a wonderful debate actually made that Gongsun Linglong so angry that he vomited blood on the spot......"

"Oh? I didn't expect Xiaoyou to be the one who rescued the little sage that day, and the old man was rude! ”

It was only at this time that Xun Zifang knew the reason.

"Master Xun is polite. In fact, there is another thing, that day in the valley, when the white-shirted boy met the robbers on the road, Master Xun and Tianming Xiaoyou were also nearby, right? ”

"Huh? You know that? Jing Tianming was surprised.

"Of course I know......" Gu Ming smiled: "However, there is one thing you may not know yet, that white-shirted boy...... It's Fusu Gongzi! ”

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

As soon as Gu Ming's words came out, everyone in the room immediately exclaimed in unison.

"Master Xun, judging from your eyesight, that white-shirted boy is an ordinary person?"

"This ...... Indeed, the old man felt that the person's popularity was extraordinary, and he faintly revealed an indescribable momentum. ”

"So, do you calculate the time when Fusu Gongzi arrived in Songhai, is it exactly the same?"

Saying this, Master Ban immediately said: "That's right, Master Xun and Tianming came over to diagnose it that day. That night, we had to receive news that the prince of Fusu had arrived in Songhai City in the afternoon. ”

"However, as Fusu, how could he meet robbers? Shouldn't there be heavy protection? ”

Sledgehammer asked, confused.

The thief also agreed: "That is, even if Li Si travels, it will be hugged from front to back, at least hundreds of Qin army guards."

Not to mention that Fu Su is the eldest son, there will definitely be shadow guards to protect him when he goes far away, right? ”

Gu Ming smiled and said: "Theoretically, this is the case, but Fusu is different from his father and doesn't like to pay attention to pomp.

Therefore, there were not many retinues with him.

And the reason why the Shadow Secret Guard didn't show up may just be on another mission, so that by mistake, he almost caused Fusu to be kidnapped by the robbers......"

The Shadow Guards are Qin Shi Huang's personal guards.

As the name suggests, he acts quickly, kills decisively, follows him like a shadow of death, and although his official rank is not high, he has the power of life and death, and directly accepts the emperor's orders.

Therefore, it is called "like maggots attached to the bones, like a shadow, such as the king in person." ”

In fact, for the current situation, Gu Ming can only say that he knows a general direction.

After all, his arrival has made a subtle change in the direction of the plot, so he may not be clear about what will happen next.

However, at least in terms of the big picture, he can be absolutely in control.

"Well, in that case, it's possible......"

Xunzi nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Zhang Liang said to Xunzi: "Uncle Shi, we have received an order that the prince of Fusu will go to the Little Sage Village in two days, and then we will know whether it is the white-shirted boy." ”

Hearing this, Xunzi couldn't help sighing: "Fusu is here, I'm afraid that the one who comes is not good, and the good one will not come." At that time, we must be careful not to leave any truth and cause Confucianism to fall into crisis. ”

"Disciple, remember the teachings of your uncle!"

Gu Ming said: "Master Xun doesn't have to worry too much, in fact, Fusu itself is biased towards Confucianism.

Of course, this world is not under his control, and many times he is also involuntarily, so the master just said that he should not leave the truth.

At present, we have to guard against Lees first and foremost.

Everyone knows that he is a disciple of Confucianism, but now Yingzheng has a lot of suspicions about Confucianism, fearing that the power of Confucianism will threaten his rule.

Therefore, in order to show his loyalty, Li Si is likely to adopt a so-called righteous posture of destroying relatives against Confucianism, so as to gain Yingzheng's absolute trust in him......"

"Hmph, the old man has long since denied this disciple!"

At the mention of Li Si, Master Xun was angry, and snorted coldly on the spot.

Gu Ming said with a smile: "Even if Master Xun doesn't admit it, it can't change the fact that Li Si was once a Confucian disciple.

However, Li Si is still on the surface after all, and it is not too difficult to deal with it.

At present, the biggest threat to you is actually Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC government, and the ...... of the Yin and Yang family."

"Zhao Gao?"

"That dead eunuch beside King Qin?"

At this time, Gai Nie couldn't help but say: "Gu Gongzi is right, Li Si considers himself a Confucian scholar, so he will do things more or less to save face.

But Zhao Gao is an out-and-out villain, insidious and vicious, unscrupulous in pursuit of the end.

As far as I know, Zhao Gao will also come to Songhai this time......"

Sledgehammer looked stunned: "What the hell is going on?" Why did Fusu, Li Si, and Zhao Gao come to Songhai one after another? What purpose do they have?

Even if it is to encircle and suppress our Mo family, it will not send so many important ministers to come, right? ”

"Their arrival is related to a mirage."

"Mirage?"

"Haishi refers to Songhai, and the mirage is the behemoth in the sea that you see."

Mirage, in fact, is the name of a ship.

This ship is mainly designed by Gong Loser, the contemporary leader of the Gong Loser, and the Yin-Yang family assists in manufacturing, which is the culmination of the domineering mechanism and Yin-Yang technique, and it took a full decade from design to construction.

During this period, countless people and material resources were invested, and its scale is so large that it can be called a mobile city on the sea.

Standing on the seashore and looking into the distance, it looks like a big mountain towering on the sea, which shows how big it is.

"Wait......" Zhang Liang suddenly glanced at Gu Ming and asked, "I remember that Mr. said that Mr. and Master Ling Zun have lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, why do they know so many secret things?" ”

"It's very simple, my master once said that the sky is like a chessboard, and all living beings are like chess, so everything in the world is like a chess game, which can be deduced."

"In this way, the Lingshi must be a master outside the world, and I don't know the name of the Lingshi?"

Xunzi couldn't help but ask.

"Master Xun, the family teacher has always been idle and wild, and he also told him not to mention his name, so I also ask Master Xun to forgive me."

"I see...... So the old man still wants to ask more, why did Xiaoyou go out of the mountain to help us? ”

Gu Ming replied: "The younger generation is also on the order of the master, and I hope that I can do my best to help you survive the catastrophe." ”

"Then, I don't know what kind of prescription Xiaoyou has?"

"Before this matter, the junior has already talked in detail with the three masters of the Little Sage Village......

Gu Ming talked about the previous theory again.

Finally, he said: "Fusu is different from his father, his philosophy is to give priority to pacification, to apply benevolent government, and strive to save the people of the world from the suffering of war.

Therefore, his ideas have something in common with Confucianism and Mohism.

But it is precisely because of his different ideas that villains like Zhao Gao are naturally not happy to see Fusu on the throne.

Because once Fusu ascends to the throne, people like Zhao Gao will inevitably lose the power in their hands......"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but be surprised: "What does Mr. mean...... Zhao Gao will be bad for Fusu? This...... I'm afraid that's unlikely, right? How could he have such courage? ”

"Brother Zifang, Mr. Gai also said before that people like Zhao Gao belong to the kind of real villains who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

Although he didn't dare to do anything in the capital, the current situation was a rare opportunity for him.

The situation in Songhai is changing, and people from all walks of life of the three religions and nine streams gather here, just fishing in the muddy waters.

He can borrow someone else's people to get rid of Fusu, or he can send his henchmen to attack, and then set up a blame to find a substitute for the dead ghost.

Perhaps, he can also use this opportunity to stab Li Sijuan and take the opportunity to get rid of his old rival......"

Hearing this, the sledgehammer couldn't help but be happy: "Isn't this just right?" They fight in the nest, and we don't have trouble. ”

"That's a mistake!"

Zhang Liang was a smart person, so he naturally understood the meaning of Gu Ming's words, and turned his head sideways at the big hammer and said, "If Zhao Gao really did this, how could I be a wall-to-side?"

When the time comes, Yingzheng will inevitably carry out a purge operation at all costs.

Originally, Yingzheng had the intention to deal with the hundreds of schools, but now he has an excuse, once he makes a big move, I am afraid that few families will be able to survive the difficulties. ”

"Huh? This...... This ......"

Sledgehammer was dumbfounded.

Master Ban frowned, looked at Gu Ming and said, "Then according to Xiaoyouzhi, wouldn't we have to secretly protect Fusu so as not to fall for Zhao Gao's tricks?" ”

"That's right!"

"......"

"Rest easy, and let me tell you why.

Great Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, causing all the countries to be ruined and displaced. Therefore, you will come together to discuss the plan to destroy Qin.

But have you ever thought that if Great Qin is really destroyed, then you will really be able to live and work in peace and contentment and rebuild your homeland?

I'm afraid that by that time the situation will be even worse than it is now.

First of all, the Great Qin is dead, so the people of the previous Qin State will inevitably start to counterattack and rebel like you.

Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, could it be that they will have another reincarnation and fall into the melee of the Seven Kingdoms or even many countries again?

You were born and died to fight against Great Qin, but when Great Qin was destroyed, for the sake of your respective countries, you turned around and became hostile to each other......

If a certain country, such as Great Yan, rises in this war, then the people who do not belong to the Yan State will have to join forces with the people of the Qin State to deal with Great Yan together?

In this way, how many years will this war that has spread all over the world burn? A hundred years? Two hundred years?

How many people in the world have died in the melee? How many people have been displaced?

Is this an outcome you would like to see? ”

"This ......"

Master Ban and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

"I know that you can't let go of the hatred in your hearts and the beliefs in your hearts.

But your faith is built on endless wars, endless killings.

In the end, it is the people of the world who suffer.

So, can you put aside the hatred and prejudice in your hearts and work together to change the unpredictable and chaotic situation in the world? ”

Xunzi pondered for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaoyou really thinks that Fusu Gongzi is a candidate for Mingjun?" ”

"Don't say anything Mingjun, but he is at least a sensible and reasonable person.

If Zhao Gao's conspiracy succeeds, you really have no way out. ”

"Okay, let the old man go back and think about this matter."

It seems that Xunzi has been moved by Gu Ming's words......

First, Gu Ming's words did make sense, and second, he couldn't help but quietly use his words to brainwash a group of people.

Even the sledgehammer, which has always been grumpy, began to ponder in a rare way......

What he cares about most is what Gu Ming said, when Daqin is destroyed, the friends who used to fight side by side may become your life-and-death opponents in an instant.

This is not alarmist.

Because as soon as Great Qin is destroyed, everyone will definitely have to return to their own countries.

At that time, the dispute between the seven kingdoms will enter the cycle again......

And maybe there will be a lot of forces that will emerge at the opportunity, and the situation in the world will become even more chaotic.
