Who keeps the Thousand Machines Copper Plate? This is a big or small question.
If it's in the hands of Fusu, Mengtian, or one of Li Si, then it's okay. If it's in the hands of Gu Xun... then they can consider lighting a fire to burn the cipher text scroll.
Secret information that cannot be deciphered is no more useful than a rag.
Thief Zhi scratched his head and asked Gai Nie, "Mr. Gai, based on your experience, who is most likely to have the Thousand Machines Copper Plate?"
Looking at the dignified expressions of everyone in the Mo family, Gai Nie slowly shook his head, "The probability of who may have the Thousand Machine Copper Plate is meaningless. If you really plan to take advantage of it, you must get accurate information and find out exactly Target."
"With the loss of the Black Dragon Scroll, the empire's nerves are bound to be tense. The Thousand Machine Copper Plate, which is the only key to unlocking the cipher text, will also be their focus. If you want to take action, you will only have one chance at most, and there is no room for failure."
"There are many possible whereabouts of the Thousand Machines Copper Plate, and the probabilities vary. However, in Gai's view, there is no difference between these possibilities - they are all situations that are actually possible. Pick the so-called high probability to go. It’s not wise to take risks.”
"So... it finally came down to gathering intelligence." Thieves Zhi touched his chin, showing a very troubled look.
He is usually responsible for gathering information, but it is hard to say whether this kind of top-secret information can be obtained. Even if it can, the time it will take is unknown.
It is also difficult for the Mohist intelligence network in other regions to play a role in Sanghai's matter.
Thousand Machine Copper Plate is indeed a tough nut to crack.
Master Ban and others were also aware of Thieves Zhi's difficulties, so they all remained silent at this time, thinking secretly in their hearts.
The snow girl spoke up at this time, "If we want to get this kind of imperial secret as soon as possible, we may have to seek help from the ovary."
"Mr. Zhang San?" Sledgehammer scratched his head, glanced back and forth, and whispered in a low voice, "Is this appropriate?"
Sledgehammer is not very smart, but he is quite sensitive to butt issues such as the camp front.
Although Zhang Liang is a member of the anti-Qin alliance and has proven his reliability and wisdom with practical actions,... he has an unclear relationship with Liusha after all.
The empire's top secrets, such as the Thousand Machines Copper Plate and the Black Dragon Scroll, might be substantially related to Gu Xun, so looking for Zhang Liang might not be a wise choice.
Thief Zhi blinked and said nothing. His attitude toward Zhang Liang was rather vague, and he was really unsure of paying attention at this time.
Gai Nie also kept silent. He always didn't like to get involved in the internal discussions of the Mo family, so he just waited patiently for the results.
Master Xu stroked his beard and objected in a deep voice, "This is inappropriate!"
"Whether it's the danger level of the matter itself or Zifang's sensitive identity, it's not suitable to get involved in this matter. It's better to find another way."
Master Xu was very direct in his speech, and he put the problem in plain sight.
After Gao Jianli pondered for a while, he said slowly, "In this matter... I think you can trust Mr. Zhang San. The continuous help he has provided to the Mo family during this period has proven his sincerity."
"Perhaps he may not be willing to provide us with intelligence on this matter, but I believe that at least he will not betray us."
"Worth a try!"
After listening to everyone's opinions, Master Ban hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision:
"I decided to seek intelligence support from Zifang regarding the Thousand Machine Copper Plate!"
"As Xiao Gao said, no matter what, I believe he will not take the initiative to harm the Mo family, and we need the intelligence of the Thousand Machines Copper Plate now, otherwise the Black Dragon Scroll that we took such a big risk to obtain will have no meaning. "
After all, Master Ben's prestige was the highest. He made the decision, and no one had any objections. The matter was settled.
As for the task of delivering the news, everyone placed it on Tianming without his knowing anything about it.
He is a giant of the Mohist family, and he is also the only person within the Mohist family who can enter and exit the Little Sage Village at will, and have reasonable contact with Zhang Liang. Naturally, he has to handle this matter.

"You still have to face the next thing on your own."
On the water corridor of Haiyue Xiaozhu, Gu Xun patted his student on the shoulder and gave a final and heartfelt instruction.
The dinner between the two of them was over at this time, and Gu Xun was about to leave.
Fusu looked at the teacher who had hardly changed at all for more than ten years, and asked in confusion, "Teacher, I am willing to face it, and I dare to face it, but...it seems that what I can do is never... many?"
"Following the rules... is your advantage and also your shackles." Gu Xun pondered for a moment and then responded, "I have no solution to this kind of character problem. As your teacher, the only help I can provide is, That is, I am willing to understand and support all your decisions.”
"Make more choices of your own. After all, you are someone who has studied with the successor of Guigu Zongjian. Don't embarrass Gai Nie too much."
"...students, please remember."
………………
After leaving Fusu, Gu Xun, who had eaten and drank enough, wandered casually along the connecting road.
The streets of the coastal city have some interesting seaside features. They are not very new to Gu Xun, but they are worth a visit.
People living in difficult times always have extraordinary resilience. Although the reappearance of mirages caused considerable panic, it still failed to change the tenacious lives of these people.
Songhai is still Songhai, prosperous and lively, with people coming and going.
But there are still some changes.
Gu Xun wandered around for a while, suddenly smiled on his face, and then left the busy street. After making three turns, he got into a deserted alley.
He looked at the empty alley he had just walked through, and greeted loudly, "You've followed me here, so stop hiding."
There was a silent silence in the alley for a while. It seemed that Gu Xun's call was just a bluff and no one was following him.
But he obviously didn't think so. He leaned against the wall leisurely with his arms folded, waiting for the stalker to show up.
In the end, he was able to keep his composure, and the stalker showed up on his own initiative.
Wearing a black tight-fitting silk dress as thin as a feather and a one-piece silk trousers, the girl's figure is still young but still graceful...well, it's not young anymore, she is very mature.
I don’t know how these little girls are developing so well.
Under the thick black hair, Shi Lan's shining eyes like morning stars stared closely at Gu Xun through the gaps between her hair.
Gu Xun looked at Shi Lan, who was wearing nondescript night clothes, and wanted to comment, but felt that he was being harassed to the little girl, so he didn't say anything in the end.
However, I still couldn't help but slandered a few words in my heart.
