When those inauthentic practitioners saw Heiyun vomiting blood, they all looked at him with concern and said in a flurry of words: "Is the leader feeling unwell? Do you want some hot soup?"
Heiyun lay flat on the couch, his head spinning with anger: "I vomited blood after drinking your ancestor's hot soup, can't I call a doctor?"
The Mo people around just pretended not to hear anything and asked again: "Chief, how can I find Chu Mo's people...?"
Heiyun used all his strength and shouted: "Get out of here."
The Mohists left in despair.
Heiyun was lying on the low couch, confused and awake for a while. At this time, he could no longer feel the pain. In fact, he could not feel his feet at all.
Heiyun was a little sad: "Is qimo going to end today? The fire that has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years has been cut off here just because of the assassination of a Xiangli Zhu?"
"This Xiangli Zhu, we have been chasing her for several years, why suddenly..."
Thinking of this, Heiyun was suddenly startled. He suddenly remembered a rumor that he had heard a long time ago. This rumor said that Xianglizhu did not live in Shangjun's courtyard. The person who lived in Shangjun's courtyard was another strange man named Huaiguzi, who was an immortal in heaven.
He had heard this rumor a long time ago, but never took it seriously. Because neither the fairy wine nor the steamed buns are made by others. Who among the scholars in the world is not talking about the past and the present, seeking ways to govern the country? Only people like Xiangli Zhu would study these painstakingly. He always thought that Xiangli Zhu was controlling Huaiguzi from behind.
But now, Heiyun realized that the person he was facing was not Xiangli Zhu at all, but Huai Guzi. This man was a truly ruthless person. It was him who made Mo Zhe completely defeated.
Wait, some people clearly saw Xianglizhu yesterday. So...Xianglizhu and Huaiguzi joined forces?
Thinking of this, Heiyun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "To what extent have they joined forces? Huaiguzi wants to support Qin Mo as a banished immortal?"
"If these two people gain power, they will definitely suppress the Qi and Chu factions. It is enough to cut off the Qi and Chu Mo scholars, but the key point is that from now on, the school passed down by Mo Zi will probably become a craftsman who specializes in craftsmanship. ah."
Heiyun shouted: "Come here, come quickly."
He wanted to pass the news on to Chu Mo as soon as possible. Let them take advantage of Huaiguzi and Xianglizhu's fledgling life and destroy them at all costs.
But Heiyun shouted several times, but no one paid him any attention.
Heiyun struggled twice on the low couch and rolled down.
He climbed outside the door and found that the house was quiet and there was no one. Those inks have already left.
As for where he went, no one knows. Maybe they went their separate ways, or maybe they went together to find Chu Mo. In any case, qimo has disappeared since then.
Heiyun smiled bitterly: "That's all, this is probably God's will."
Heiyun looked at the white clouds in the sky with mixed feelings in his heart, feeling sorry for the great men of the past. This feeling of regret finally disappeared until the moment he stopped breathing.
"I'm dead, it's all over, even if the sky falls apart, what will I do?" Such a thought suddenly came to Heiyun's heart, and for a moment, he became relieved, and his whole person felt much more relaxed.
This moment seemed to be the happiest time in his life. Unfortunately, this happiness only lasted for just a second. Then, his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

Everyone in Xianyang City was talking about it. Because the emperor issued a new law called the Patent Law.
This method started from Xianyang and radiated to the entire Guanzhong, and then to all counties in the world. The edict must be implemented from the day it is received.
The patent law has many detailed provisions. To sum up, there are basically three major things.
One: Open a patent office to be responsible for the verification and registration of patents. Internal historian Zhao Teng was responsible for this matter.
Second: Once the patent is obtained, you can set the price freely within one year. Counterfeiters need to pay patent fees, and embezzlers will be severely punished.
Third: All patents related to farming wars should be redeemed by the imperial court and then issued to the world according to the situation.
After the content of this patent law came out, the courtiers reacted most violently. They were temple dwellers with a keen sense of smell, and they immediately felt something was wrong.
patent? Why patent? Isn't this a private law opened for Huaiguzi? This is obviously to facilitate Huaiguzi to make money.
Especially the first one, why should Zhao Teng be in charge of the patent office?
The courtiers now respect and fear Zhao Teng. Li Shui grabbed Heitan a few days ago and got a list. Among the lists are the names of all the Mohists who worked as servants in the courtiers' homes.
Li Shui handed the list to Zhao Teng, and Zhao Teng began to arrest people by name. There was a huge uproar for a while. All the courtiers were unhappy and felt that their dignity had been challenged, but Zhao Teng had good reasons and had become a lot tougher recently, so everyone had to endure it silently.
The courtiers heard that this list was given to Zhao Teng by Li Shui, and privately called Zhao Teng the lackey of Huaimen.
The so-called dog, doesn’t it mean that it bites for its owner?
Zhao Teng was also very depressed about this. He repeatedly claimed in public that he and Li Shui were sworn in. But the courtiers didn't buy it at all.
Some courtiers even had the courage to say: "When Mr. Huai was at odds with Lu Lie and others, it was not just words, but real actions. Mr. Zhao, if you slap Huai Guzi a few times in public, we will trust you."
Zhao Teng grinned after hearing this and thought to himself: "Throwing locust trees and millet? Are you kidding me? Do I dare to hit someone who has a gold medal for immunity from death? You are pushing me into a pit of fire."
The more Zhao Teng thought about it, the angrier he became, and he said, "That's all, it's up to you whether you believe it or not." Then, Zhao Teng left.
The courtiers looked at me and I looked at you. They all had clear faces and said, "Sure enough, I can't deny it. I am so angry that I am so embarrassed."
After getting angry with Zhao Teng, their focus shifted to patent law. In the eyes of these courtiers, isn’t this thing nonsense? No, I must give advice to His Majesty.

Imperial Palace, Ying Zheng Study Room.
Ying Zheng was reading the memorial, throwing away one piece after another. The ground was already a mess. Almost all the memorials criticized the patent law, and overtly and covertly advised the emperor not to be deceived by the monster Huaiguzi.
Ying Zheng rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "They are stupid and stupid, and the civil and military officials in the dynasty are nothing but wine and rice bags. If I use them to govern the world, how can the Qin Dynasty last long?"
At this time, a young eunuch ran in and reported that there were many courtiers outside asking to see him.
Ying Zheng sneered and said calmly: "Let them come in."
After a while, the courtiers filed in.
In fact, not many courtiers came. Just Wang Wan, Li Si, Zhao Gao, Chun Yuyue and other important ministers.
When Ying Zheng saw a few of them, his expression softened a little. After all, these people were all people he relied on.
Ying Zheng said calmly: "You are here for the patent law, right?"
Chunyu Yue bowed and said, "Yes, I have come here specifically for the patent law. I boldly advise your majesty to abolish the patent law."
Several other people also nodded and asked the emperor to abolish the patent law.
Even Zhao Gao said in a low voice: "There is something wrong with this method."
Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "Why is this method inappropriate? Do you have any reasons?"
Chunyu Yue had obviously thought of the reason a long time ago and said: "The Master said, a gentleman is known for righteousness, and a villain is known for profit. This patent law is clearly designed for villains. As time goes by, villains will become more and more common, and gentlemen will also want to Become a villain. If this method is implemented, within three years, there will be no more gentlemen in the Qin Dynasty."
"By that time, the people will be cunning and profit-seeking, and the world will definitely be in chaos. Even if you want to abolish this law, it is too late. Please think again, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng said nothing and looked at the others.
Zhao Gao, who never took the initiative to show his face, couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, there is a rumor outside the palace that this patent law seems to be designed for Huaiguzi alone. The law is the yardstick of the world, how can it be used for one person? And seeking personal gain? If Huaiguzi has meritorious service, His Majesty will reward him heavily. If we legislate specifically for him, once this case is started, the government may be in chaos."
Wang Wan also said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this patent law is also unreasonable in many ways. When Cangjie created characters, it benefited all people. If there was this patent law, would we still have to pay patent fees when we use characters? Sui People drilled wood to make fire, and Shen Nong tasted the herbs himself. There are so many ancient sages and sages, which one is not more powerful than Huai Guzi? If these sages also use some kind of patent method, how can China be where we are today?"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but glance at his beloved, and thought to himself: "What these people said is quite reasonable. They are eloquent, and they are indeed eloquent. If it were other times, I would be happy. Agreed. It’s a pity that this time I have heard Huaiguzi’s principles. Huaiguzi’s understanding of patent law is far superior to that of other ministers.”
Ying Zheng remained calm, and after they all finished speaking, he said quietly: "Huai Guzi reported a memorial a few days ago. He said that all the things in the fairy world that he brought out before were before the patent law was promulgated. So he voluntarily gave up this Several patents.”
"In addition, he is willing to disclose the methods of making alcohol, celestial wine, steamed buns, Daida method, and various celestial arts in Shangjun's courtyard. Let people know them and understand why they are done. After everyone learns them, they can imitate them. "
The courtiers were all stunned: "Huai Guzi, are you so generous?"
Although Xiangli Zhupojie understood the principles of Huaiguzi's magic before. But there is still a difference between knowing the principle and actually doing it.
These courtiers experimented several times, but the fairy wine always turned sour and the steamed buns always tasted bitter. As a last resort, I had to buy a cup of fairy wine worth 100,000 yuan and a steamed bun worth 500 yuan.
Although they can afford the money, it doesn't mean they don't feel bad about spending it. What's more, after spending the money, I always feel that I have been treated as a fool.
Now Huaiguzi has voluntarily given up and taught everyone how to make it? This is equivalent to giving up millions of wealth.
Li Si couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "I am not as broad-minded as I am."
The other courtiers also resigned in shock.
When they walked out of the palace gate in a daze, they suddenly remembered: "Why am I here? I'm here to admonish, why did I leave? Forget it, let the admonishers go first, send someone first , go to Shangjun’s other courtyard and learn the magic of immortality.”
"If you really learn how to make fairy wine, how about selling it for fifty thousand yuan a cup? If you really learn how to make steamed buns, how about selling it for two hundred and fifty yuan each? That would make you rich."
No one would complain that his family had little money, and the courtiers all left happily. There are still very few people who have heard the news, so we must seize the opportunity. In the future, when the streets are full of fairy wine and steamed buns, these things will not be sold at a good price. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
