After Jing Ke's affairs were temporarily put aside, Zi You returned to a nine-to-five life, going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to handle government affairs during the day, or instilling some of his ideas into the disciples of Qin Mo and Gong Loser at the Academy of Sciences. At night, I started to work like a scalper, striving to complete the inheritance of the family business as soon as possible.
But the stable days will eventually be broken. Two incidents involving the country and the world have made Ziyou's life turbulent again. After Sima Xin took over Cai, Yang Duanhe led the army to attack Pingxing. Originally, Yang Duanhe thought he would encounter resistance from the Chu army, but the defenders at Pingxing were only 20,000 people. Under the impact of a simple feint attack by the Qin army, the defenders were defeated. Jiang abandoned the city and fled, thus defeating Pingxing.
According to the intelligence system of the Qin Army, although Xiang Yan took away hundreds of thousands of troops, there should be at least 100,000 troops in Pingxing. It was uncertain whether the Chu army deliberately abandoned Pingxing and allowed him to continue the attack, so Yang Duan and stopped Offensive, stick to Pingxing.
Just when Yang Duanhe was preparing to defend Pingxing to welcome the Chu army's counterattack, the entire Chu state seemed not to see Yang Duanhe, and the army continued to gather in the direction of Yingdu. Chu's strategic behavior of pacifying the country first before resisting foreign aggression made Qin stumped for a while.
The Chu army's target is Changping Jun, and the two cities of Xizeng are an important troop transportation route for Li Yuan's army. If Qin takes it now, it will not be conducive to the plan to split Chu. If they don't capture it, they don't know what Changping Jun can do. It cannot stop the Chu army.
What's more important is that Li Yuan is a pro-Qin faction in Chu State, and his role in Chu State is the same as that of Guo Kai in Zhao State. If he stabs Li Yuan in the back now and takes over Zengxi, it will not be conducive to letting Li Yuan, a mediocre person, Control the court of Chu State.
After repeated discussions, the Guowei Mansion requested to temporarily abandon the attack on Zengxi and let the dogs eat dogs within the Chu State. However, Qin could not just watch. Instead, it sent troops to station in Pingxing, threatening Shouchun and Zengxi. , so that the Chu court must pay some protection fees to stop the Qin army from attacking.
Li Yuan decisively ceded Pingxing's map and population register with a wave of his hand, and then compensated the Qin State a large amount of money in exchange for Yang Duanhe to stop the attack. The army led by the head of the Jing family quickly moved towards Ying under the watchful eyes of the Qin army. Attack in all directions.
Lord Changping, on the other hand, was already well prepared to wait for the attack from the head of the Jing family.
The affairs of Jianghu are related to the letter left by Jing Ke some time ago. I don’t know what the Mohist family is doing. This time the Mohist family conference issued invitations to hundreds of families, hoping that representatives of the hundreds of families from the six countries would come to watch the ceremony, and they would be imitated. The Guanmiao Platform of the Taoist School of Heaven and Humanity discusses the meaning of swords.
Moreover, people from the Mohist family not only sent invitations to the Confucian and Yin-Yang families, but even farmers received special invitations from the Mohist family. The people from the Mohist family even specifically asked three families to come and watch the ceremony. This incident attracted the attention of hundreds of families. Thinking about what the Mo family wants to do? The relationship between the Mo family and these three families is well known to everyone in the world. Now when people from the Mo family come to deliver invitations, everyone thinks that the invitation is fake and the provocation is real.
Ziyou looked at the invitation in his hand and said
"Are the Mo family planning to return to the court? Are you really not afraid that the three families will join forces to deal with the Mo family after making such a big noise?"
Regarding the sudden invitation from the Mohist family, Ziyou couldn't figure out what the Mohist family wanted to do. The Mohist family came to provoke the Confucian Yin Yang family and the peasant family. If the three families really wanted to kill the Mohist family together, it was not impossible.
"Such a mindless thing is unlikely to be done by the Six-fingered Black Man." Concubine Yan said.
"Maybe there is really big trouble within the Mo family. Now there is something exciting to watch." Ziyou said with a smile.
As a well-known Lezi person, how could Zi You not participate in such a big event? Of course, Ziyou will not attend the ceremony on behalf of Confucianism, but on behalf of the Qin State. Ziyou is the most leisurely person in the Qin State. Lu Buwei is too old to go to Yan State to attend the Mohist Conference.
"Going to Yan Country?" Xue Nu said, a trace of longing flashed in her eyes.
Yan State is her second hometown. She has not returned to Jicheng of Yan State for a long time, and she doesn't know how the people in Feixue Pavilion are doing now.
"Yes, the Mo family's main hospital is in the mountains outside Jicheng. I believe there will be many people coming this time." Ziyou said.
"Don't you want to do something for the Mo family again?" Yan Lingji looked at Ziyou and said.
"Of course not. This time I really went to have fun. If I miss such a grand event, I might not have the chance." Ziyou shrugged and said.
As the core of the Mohist family at the time, ordinary people could not enter the main courtyard of the Mohist family. Even if someone from a hundred families came to visit, they might not be able to reach the main courtyard of the Mohist family. Of course, no one wanted to give up this opportunity. After everyone cleaned up, they were ready to set off.
This time Ziyou represented Qin at the Mohist Conference, and Ying Zheng specially mobilized five hundred cavalry to guard Ziyou.
Inside the Mohist government office.
Jing Ke stood in front of the Mo family's mechanism and kept wandering, with a worried look in his eyes. After the Six-fingered Black Man returned to the government city, he left a message that the Mohist affairs were under the leadership of Jing Ke. After the Mohist commander assisted, he went straight to the Moh family's mechanism.
The six-fingered black man entered the Mo family's organization to find the insights left by the great masters of the past generations and break the six-soul terror curse planted by the moon god.
"It's lunch. Now you are lingering at the door every day, worrying that you will not be of any help to the giants who are trying to break through. There is a lot of commotion outside because of the Mohist Conference. Representatives from hundreds of schools and six countries are on the way. Now you, the giant of the Mohist clan, You should be ready to welcome him, so as not to make other people laugh at the Mo family." Gongsun Liji put down the box and took out the food inside.
Jing Ke looked at the delicious food, but he had no appetite at all. Even if Li Ji brought him fine wine, he was not interested in drinking at this moment. Because now the Mo family has gradually run towards the unknown direction. After the Six-fingered Black Man went into seclusion, the Mo family was quite normal at first. Jing Ke and several commanders performed their duties and took care of the Mo family in an orderly manner.
But I don’t know when, Mo Bian and the others who came out of Mo Clan came to Guan City, and declared that they hoped to get the support of the Mo family to bring the Mo Bian lineage back to the world again, and let the Mo family return to the court of the Six Nations. . If it was just to help Mo Bian reappear in the world, Jing Ke would not refuse, but if the Mo family returned to the court again, Jing Ke immediately expressed his opposition. Although Jing Ke objected, many commanders thought it was feasible and expressed support for Mo Bian's people.
Regarding this matter, the commanders were divided into two factions, but as the dispute escalated, this dispute expanded to the entire Mohist family. However, as the controversy continued to escalate, the Mohist family also divided into two factions. Zi's opposition made everyone in the Mo family dare not directly agree to Mo Bian's people. In order to gain the support of the Mohist family, Mo Bian proposed to initiate a Mohist resolution, and the commanders would decide whether to help Mo Bian.
Among the nine commanders, except for the absent Cook Ding, everyone participated. Originally four to three, they were sure of victory, but Chu Mo's representative Xu Fuzi suddenly visited Guancheng and supported Mo Bian's return, leading to a fight. It was a tie. In the second vote, Gao Jianli, who had always supported Jing Ke, suddenly rebelled and supported Mo Bian's lineage. Three to five, the Moh family decided to help Mo Bian.
The Mo Bian lineage proposed to re-convene the Mohist Conference in the Mohist General Academy, and under the witness of the people of the world, the Mo Bian lineage could reappear in the world. Because Jing Ke was hit hard by Gao Jianli's rebellion, and knowing that he could not stop the Mo family's cart from running in another direction, Jing Ke could only hope that the Six-Fingered Black Man would come out of seclusion as soon as possible.
"When you left Xianyang, Juzi asked you to send a letter to Mr. Ziyou. Did you send it?" Gongsun Liji asked.
"Sent it away. I just told Brother Ziyou that we were leaving. Boss Juzi also asked me to sneak in." Jing Ke scratched his head. This letter was not sent by him on his own initiative, but was requested by the Six-Fingered Black Man. He also specifically emphasized that Jing Ke should go to the back kitchen of Dingxiang Tower and give it to Xue Nu, and ask her to deliver it to Zi You.
Jing Ke felt that the Six-Fingered Black Man's request was just unnecessary, but in the face of the Six-Fingered Black Man's repeated requests, he had no choice but to obey his orders.
Looking at the simple-minded Jing Ke, Gongsun Liji helplessly shook her head and said helplessly
"Juzi is here for today. Didn't you notice that there was a problem within the Mo family when you were in Xianyang? Do you think that relying on Juzi's power, the Moon God has a chance to cast the six-soul terror curse on Juzi?"
The Six-fingered Black Man asked Jing Ke to deliver the letter like this in order to plant the seeds of doubt in Ziyou's heart. When something happens to the Mo family, Ziyou will also come to the Mo family to clarify the doubts in his heart. As long as Ziyou arrives at the Mo family, see When Jing Ke is in trouble, he will definitely take action.
"Didn't we still have Chu Nan Gong on the side? Boss Juzi and Chu Nan Gong were fighting, and the Moon God was on the side for a sneak attack. These people from the Yin and Yang family like to engage in such despicable methods." Jing Ke looked angry. said.
Looking at the fool-like Jing Ke, Gongsun Liji raised her forehead and thought about how she fell in love with such a fool, and then began to patiently explain to Jing Ke.
"Juzi is also an old-school grandmaster, and his strength is not much better than that of Donghuang Taiyi. Even if Chu Nan Gong's strength is similar to Juzi, do you think a grandmaster can participate in the fight between two grandmasters? Can he also control it? A great master made a sneak attack and cast a curse?"
Hearing Gongsun Liji's question, Jing Ke was stunned. After he broke through the Grandmaster, he became more and more aware of the terrifying nature of the Grandmaster. Even five or six Grandmasters may not make the Grandmaster take it seriously.
"So you mean that Boss Juzi deliberately asked the Moon God to cast a curse?" Jing Ke asked.
Looking at Jing Ke who could still be saved, Gongsun Liji continued:
"There has been a problem within the Mo family for more than a day or two. It's just that the person who controlled this matter has been hiding behind the scenes and never showed up. In order to draw out these people, he came up with this strategy. In order to draw out these people behind the scenes."
"Are you saying that today's Mohist conference is also a trap set up by Juzi to lure out the person behind the scenes? Maybe Xiaogao's second agreement was because of Juzi's intention?" Jing Ke asked in surprise.
"Of course, otherwise Xiao Gao would have agreed the first time. There was only one night between the first time and the second time. You also know who Xiao Gao is. Do you think someone can make him change his mind and betrayal in one night? My good big brother?" Gongsun Liji said.
"I knew it." Jing Ke said with a smile.
Jing Ke, who had no appetite at first, suddenly had an appetite. He immediately opened the wine and started drinking happily. He picked up a chicken leg and started to nibble on it. Seeing Jing Ke getting better, Gongsun Liji's eyes were full of happiness, but her eyes were still full of happiness. With a hint of worry, everything she said before was true, except that Gao Jianli might have betrayed Jing Ke under the orders of the Six-Fingered Black Man.
These things were inferred by Gongsun Liji from the recent things in the Mo family. As for Gao Jianli, Gongsun Liji believed that he had really betrayed Jing Ke, but she didn't know the reason. In order to make Jing Ke cheer up, she did not hesitate to do anything for him. Deceive Jing Ke.
"Then what should I do next?" Jing Ke asked while eating.
"Pack up and prepare to welcome the people from hundreds of families and countries who arrive at the Mo family's main hospital next. You are the great son of the Mo family. If you don't come forward, others will laugh at the Mo family, and it will also make others who firmly support you and Ju Zi The disciples hesitated and supported others. As for Xiao Gao, you continue to pretend that you can't face it, and let Xiao Gao continue to lurk in the opponent's camp to find out the person behind the scenes." Gongsun Liji said.
"Okay, I understand, junior sister, I'm lucky to have you by my side." Jing Ke finished his drink and looked at Gongsun Liji and said.
Seeing Jing Ke's loving eyes, Gongsun Liji's face suddenly turned red, she turned away and said
"Eat quickly, tidy up your manners and go out. Now that some disciples know that you have sunk in, they all feel that you are not of much use now and cannot support the future of the Mo family. When you go out, don't do anything. Just wait for Baijia with peace of mind. Just come with people from all over the world.”
Jing Ke's reputation among the Mohist disciples is very high, but they have been a little disappointed in the past few days. However, if Jing Ke is resurrected with full health again and appears in the sight of the Mohist disciples, they will naturally support Jing Ke again, and encounter setbacks and wake up again from confusion. Coming here will make Jing Ke even more popular. These disciples are not like Jing Ke who has always had smooth sailing. They have experienced many setbacks and tribulations. Before, it was just because of Jing Ke's chivalrous spirit that they supported Jing Ke, but now it is because they can see their former selves in Jing Ke, so they will More support for Jing Ke.
"I understand." Jing Ke straightened his clothes and walked out of the forbidden area.
After Gongsun Liji cleaned up the mess, she followed Jing Ke's pace. When the disciples saw Jing Ke walking out of the forbidden area with a smile, they all lost their minds at first, and then smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
Jing Ke smiled and greeted his disciples along the way, and the disciples responded with smiles. Soon, Jing Ke's changes spread throughout the city, and some disciples who were originally disappointed with Jing Ke chose to support Jing Ke again.
In a secret room in the agency city.
"Damn it, I actually made Jing Ke wake up. I can't keep Gongsun Liji." The man in black robe clenched his fist and hammered the wall.
He tried his best to get Jing Ke into trouble, just to damage Jing Ke's reputation in the Mohist family and make plans for the future, but he didn't expect that Jing Ke would get out of the predicament so quickly, allowing the originally wavering disciples to once again stand firm on Jing Ke's side. aside.
