My expression was serious. No matter when they let me go down the mountain or whether I was injured or not, as long as the news about being kidnapped spread, none of these people would survive! Not even I can save them by then.
Seeing the slight change in Wufu's expression, I continued to admonish: "I Guan Juzi is not the kind of person who is ignorant. Otherwise, you can just kill me at the bottom of the mountain. Why go to all the trouble to tie me up the mountain? The so-called four deadly sins , Juzi also knows that it is completely untenable, right?"
Wufu finally stopped pretending, sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "The emperor is right, but I also have my own difficulties!"
"The reason?" I was a little puzzled. Juzi was the one and only person in the Mo family. Who dared to disobey him? After thinking about it, I guessed: "Is it Zhuqing and Mimu? Or are they the two factions they represent?"
Wu Fu nodded and said with a sad face: "The emperor is as careful as his hair. Nowadays, the Mohist family is not unified. One faction believes that we should continue to oppose Qin and vow to overthrow the violent Qin; the other faction believes that the Qin Dynasty has prospered, making the head of Guizhou live in peace and the country's prestige. It should be It’s hard for a wealthy man like me to be born to serve the people!”
I was speechless for a while. The Mo family has been divided into three factions. I didn't expect that there are still factions among these three factions. This is a bit complicated!
"Then what do you mean by tying me up to the mountain? If the anti-Qin group is not good for me, you will be in danger."
Wu Fu glanced at the door and said softly: "The emperor thinks I want to do this? It's the anti-Qin faction that forced me to do this! Half of Chu and Mo are now out of my control. If we break up like this, I don't know. Where will Chu Mo go!"
Not sure whether what Wufu said was true or not, I tried to test: "If Juzi agrees with Qin Mo's proposition, why not lead the Qin faction to attach themselves to the court and serve the Qin Dynasty and the head of Guizhou like Qin Mo?"
Wu Fu shook his head again and said, "No, if I depend on the imperial court, how can I be worthy of Deng Lingzi!"
I was anxious, so hesitant, how did this old man become a big man!
"Juzi, you can't do this and you can't do that. What do you want? Now that the world is stable and the threats from the west and north have been eliminated, I'm not afraid to tell you that the imperial court is preparing to vigorously develop Lingnan. By then, you will not only become the people who occupy the mountains. Is there any other way for the king's bandits? Unlike the conquests of the nations during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this is an era of unification of the world! Times have changed! There is no longer a place for a knight-errant school of thought like yours!"
Wufu was silent for a long time, then he suddenly raised his head and stared into my eyes with sharp eyes, and said slowly: "If Chu Mo relies on the imperial court, how will the emperor treat those anti-Qin factions?"
Seeing that he was willing to surrender, I became serious. If these anti-Qin factions are all people like Mi Mu, it would be too dangerous to stay. The only way to avoid future troubles is to kill them! But looking at Wufu's expression, it was obvious that he wanted me to let them go.
After a moment, I solemnly replied: "As long as they no longer gather together to try to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, I can allow them to leave and live their own lives!"
Wufu saw that I didn't seem to be hypocritical, so he finally made up his mind and said firmly: "I understand."
————
At the end of the day, about twenty or thirty people, led by Wu Fu, opened the door of the prison cell.
Wufu stepped forward and said, "Emperor Qin, there is a shortage of food and silk on the mountain. I want to take you down the mountain to ask for it from your entourage. Let's go!"
I got up and followed Wufu calmly towards the mountain gate. I saw that the mountain gate was open. I could cross the mountain gate in another ten or twenty steps. Mimu suddenly appeared from behind the house next to me, and there were twenty or thirty people who pulled me and Wu Fu and others gathered in the middle.
Mimu's eyes were sharp and he stared at me. Then he clasped his fists and saluted Wufu: "What does Juzi want?"
Wufu calmly gave his excuse and finally said: "This is a good opportunity. The food on the mountain has been depleted after a winter. Since there is no chance, why not take advantage of this to ask for some food and silk?"
Mi Mu's face turned cold. Regardless of the rank of the Mohist family, he asked Wu Fu unceremoniously: "Why do you take him down the mountain when you can let the emperor of Qin edit a book?"
Wufu didn't expect that Mimu would dare to betray him directly. He frowned and shouted sternly: "Mimu! I am a wealthy man and I have my own opinions on what I do. Where is your turn to talk?! Get out of the way!"
Seeing this, Mi Mu stopped pretending, sneered, and said solemnly: "Juzi, the reason why we follow you is precisely because you promised to kill the tyrant and destroy the tyrant Qin, but now you are begging for mercy from the emperor of Qin. I’m afraid I won’t be able to be this great man!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the hands of the Mohists who were following her around her had slowly touched the hilt of their swords. Seeing that they were about to start fighting if they disagreed, I lamented in my heart: 'If I act alone again without the protection of the army, I will be like a dog! '
Wufu's expression was extremely ugly. He never thought that Mimu had gathered so many people to work for her, and now they were all at odds with each other. Do they really want to kill each other? It's a pity that he still managed to win my commitment for these people, and I suddenly felt powerless.
Speaking of this, Zhu Qing didn't care about anything else. He drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed at Mi Mu and roared: "Mi Mu! How dare you be so rude to Ju Zi!"
He looked around again and said sternly: "As a Mohist, if you want to besiege Juzi, you will be tolerated by Mohists in the world! It's not too late to turn back now!"
The surrounding Mo disciples were unmoved. Instead, they all drew out their swords to express their attitude. Mi Mu even sneered: "The Mo disciples in the world? Zhuqing, open your eyes and see, there are still Mohists in this world." Can you still tolerate the Mo family? Kill the emperor of Qin wisely, and we will go to Lingnan to find my sister. When the time comes to raise an army to rebel against Qin, we will definitely respond to her call!"
I suddenly looked up, Mimu's sister? Mi surname? Lingnan? Raise an army? ...Mi Yi? !
I looked cold and said in a cold voice: "Who is your sister?"
Mimu realized that she had let the news slip, but she thought she had a chance to win, so she laughed loudly and said proudly: "You are full of conspiracies and tricks, and you have persuaded me to give you a lot of money, how come you can't guess who my sister is? "
Looking at her expression, I knew I had guessed it right, it was Mi Yi!
At that time, it was just my intuition that there was something wrong with Mi Yi, and because Zhao Tuo was a Lingnan general, I never investigated her further. Now it seems that my worries at that time were not unreasonable!
Before a few people could say anything, Wufu had already made a gesture to Zhuqing. Zhuqing understood and suddenly got up and quickly approached Mimu with the help of his strange body skills.
Mimu was not a vegetarian, so she retreated instantly. The Mo disciples on both sides had already blocked her in front of her, and their swords struck each other, making the sound of fighting. The people around him stopped deadlocking and rushed towards each other with their swords.
There were less than thirty people in Wufu's party, but Mimu had more than forty people. I glanced at Wufu and sighed at his honesty: "Juzi's words are indeed true, you really can't control these people. "
Wufu said awkwardly: "I never lie!"
