After hugging the beauty next to him and feeling Yan Lingji's gentle breathing, Ziyou fell asleep.
The next day, Ziyou had just gotten up, and Yan Lingji beside him had disappeared. You didn't need to think about it to know that the little fairy must have returned to her room while Ziyou was asleep.
Looking at the torn tulle on the bed, Zi You gathered his inner strength and shattered the tulle into a pile of powder.
After opening the door, a gust of cold wind blew into the house, and the powder on the ground dissipated into the air. It was already late autumn, and the weather in Yan State was already a bit cold. After Ziyou's door opened, others walked out one after another.
Xue Nu looked at the people gathered in the courtyard and found that Mo Crow was not there.
"Where did Mo Crow go?" Xue Nu asked curiously.
"I asked Mo Ya to go out to do something yesterday. He won't be back until the afternoon, so don't worry about him." Ziyou said.
Xue Nu said nothing more. The disciples of the Mo family came to the courtyard with breakfast. Seeing everyone putting their lunch boxes on the table, they saluted Ziyou and the others.
"Everyone, breakfast is here. Please eat it. After you finish eating, just put it on the table. Our disciples will come and clean it up."
"Thank you." Ziyou nodded.
The Mohist disciples put breakfast on the table. Breakfast was very simple, consisting of steamed buns, porridge and two light dishes. After placing the food, the leading Mohist disciple said
"If it's not enough, please ring the bell in front of the door and we will send someone to deliver it."
"Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome."
After the Mohist disciples saluted, they left the other courtyard. After everyone sat down, they began to eat breakfast.
"The Mo family's service is very attentive. There is even a special food delivery service in the guest room." Xue Nu said after finishing the buns.
"This time, after all, the Mo family invites hundreds of families and countries to come and watch the ceremony. If there is no such service, it is inevitable that they will not be laughed at. These buns are good. It seems that Pao Ding, the commander of Qi Mo, is not only the leader, but also the disciples of the Moh family. Let's cook." Ziyou said.
"Cook Ding? Is there an inn owner? How can he be the leader of the Mohist family!?" Xue Nu was a little surprised. There is an inn that is responsible for the daily food of Little Saint Xian Manor. If Cook Ding is the leader of the Mohist family, doesn't it mean that the Confucian family has always been under the surveillance of the Mohist family? Below?
"What's so strange about this? Hundreds of schools regard each other as enemies. It's normal to open a hidden stake on the other side's territory. The Mohist family is not placing people inside the Confucian family." Ziyou said.
Xue Nu nodded. This was indeed a normal thing. As far as she knew, Confucian disciples traveled all over the world. When they arrived at a place, they thought about whether they could become an official. If not, they would change places. This is quite similar to the Shandong examinees of later generations, who can be called a patrol army.
After everyone finished eating, they put bowls, chopsticks and other items into the food box. Soon the Mohist disciples took them away. Everyone sat in the courtyard and went about their own business. Yan Lingji, Yan Fei, Xue Nu and Jing Salamander were there. While playing mahjong, Shao Siming was practicing the skills on the side, constantly making seals in her hands, and the leaves on the trees nearby were constantly changing shapes in her hands.
Ziyou was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, closing his eyes and concentrating. It was definitely a big battle for a while. Although he was not the main force, Chu Mo's target was him.
After Yan Lingji and the four of them finished playing mahjong, the sound of bells echoed in the main courtyard of the Mo family. On a hill not far away, a disciple was ringing a bronze bell vigorously. This was the signal for the start of the Mohist conference. Ziyou He opened his eyes after hearing the bell.
The guards outside the door also came in and saluted Zi Xuan.
"Sir, envoys from hundreds of families and other countries have set off."
"Then let's go too." Ziyou stood up and said.
"promise!"
The guards immediately organized their troops and escorted Ziyou and the five girls towards the political forum where the Mohist conference was opened.
"Why is the location of the Mohist conference called a political forum?" Xue Nu asked in confusion.
"Political commentary was originally called debate. It was a place where the Mohist family dealt with internal affairs and allowed those who made mistakes to defend themselves. It was also a place where countries considered to be tyrannical by the Mohist family came to defend themselves. Later, Duke Xiao came to the Mohist General Court to explain the reform and spoke loudly on the stage. , persuaded the original Mohist emperor to give up the reform against Shang Jun. Because Xiaogong expounded affairs for politics, the debate stage gradually became called the political discussion stage." Ziyou explained.
"I see, is the person on the stage Mo Bian? I thought they were all old gentlemen." Xue Nu said while looking at the five people standing on the stage.
Three of the five people are old people, two are young people, and two young people are standing behind the old people. The five people all had heavy faces. Today was the key to Mo Bian's reappearance in the world. They didn't dare to slack off at all. They had worked hard for today to seize the opportunity.
When Mo Bian reappears in the world, it will naturally not be easy. Attacks from hundreds of families are essential. Without the Mo Bian lineage, the Mohist school lacks a key core. If Mo Bian returns, the Mohist school will be the prominent school before. This is obviously not what hundreds of schools want to see, especially the Yin Yang School and Confucianism. In their view, it is inevitable today There is going to be a huge debate.
Just as Ziyou arrived at Qin's seat, a little bird flew to Ziyou's side. Ziyou quietly took off the letter from the bird's claw, opened it and took a look.
"What's wrong?" Jing Salamander asked.
"Take a look." Ziyou handed the letter to Jing Salamander.
Jing salamander looked at the letter in his hand. There was only one short sentence in it: Yan Jun was hiding outside the city. Frightened Salamander asked in a low voice without changing his expression.
"What does Yan State want to do? Besiege the Mo family's government city?"
"King Yan does not have the courage. If the Yan State besieges the Mo family, Yan State will face hundreds of families in the future. It should be the manpower mobilized by Yan Dan to attack the Mo family and us." Ziyou said in a voice. .
"We only have 500 soldiers and cavalry here. If we can still fight in the open area, there are many mountains here, which will not be good for us." Jing Salamander reported back.
Naturally, the communication between Jingli and Ziyou could not be avoided by other people. Fu Nian and Yan Lu just glanced at each other and did not look at it. The same was true for other people in Baijia. They just treated it as a whisper between the two of them. Yan Lingji, on the other hand, , Xue Nu, Yan Fei and Shao Siming joined in.
"What happened?" Concubine Yan asked.
Jing salamander briefly talked about the affairs of Yan State's army, and Concubine Yan thought for a while and said
"Yan Dan's goal should be to let the Yan army occupy Guan City. Now I'm afraid something has happened in Guan City. This is indeed not our home court. If Yan Dan takes over Guan City and takes control of the Mo family, Yan State may suddenly become the leader of Zhao State. This is another major obstacle to Qin's unification of the world."
"Who said otherwise? Have you forgotten me?" Yan Lingji interjected.
Everyone looked at Yan Lingji. A small flame appeared on Yan Lingji's fingertips, and everyone suddenly realized.
"The air is crisp in autumn, and there are so many people here, it is inevitable that a small fire or something will happen." Ziyou said with a smile.
"If I go with her, it's inevitable that she will set fire to us and burn us to death." The snow girl gave Yan Lingji a white look and said.
Yan Lingji also gave Xue Nu a blank look, and Ziyou nodded. He really wanted to send people to follow Yan Lingji. If this little goblin really let her play with fire, let alone the Yan army, they might also be killed. Burn to death here, it's autumn now, the ground is full of combustion aids, these dead leaves will never stop burning.
Yan Lingji and Xue Nu sneaked away while no one was paying attention. Now it was the time when envoys from hundreds of families and countries entered the scene. The scene was a bit chaotic. In addition, Yan Lingji and Xue Nu were brought by Ziyou. A former dancer and a native of Baiyue, the Mohist disciples thought that the two were not used to such occasions and did not ask any questions. They just told them some forbidden places and dangerous places that they could not go to, and then let the two leave.
Jing Ke was sitting on the seat of the Mo family. Gongsun Liji was explaining to him what to say when everyone gathered on the stage. The Six-fingered Black Man was not around, so Jing Ke made the decision for the Moh family meeting. Master Ban, Pian Zhi, and Han Shen were all sitting there. Next to Jing Ke, Jing Ke looked at the two empty seats and asked
"Where did Xiao Gao and Master Xu go?"
"Master Xu said that he was uneasy and said that the sword he forged seemed to be released early, so he returned to the city. Xiao Gao should be handing over the guard to Su Jian now. Xiao Gao was in charge of the guard last night." Master Ben said.
Master Xu is a sword master in the lineage of Mojiang. He values the sword more than his own life. This is not the first time that this has happened, so Master Ban didn't find it strange and just let Master Xu go.
After hearing what Master Ban said, Gongsun Liji paused and said
"It's about to start now. I'm going to see Xiao Gao. If too few of the Mohist leaders come, they will inevitably be blamed for looking down on others."
"Well, just leave this to me." Jing Ke said.
"Remember what I said, be serious. Not only the hundreds of families are looking at you, but the disciples of the Mohist family are also looking at you." Gongsun Liji said tirelessly.
"I understand, don't worry." Jing Ke had a rare serious look on his face.
Looking at Jing Ke who became serious, Gongsun Liji stood up and left her seat, walked down the path, and looked around the Mo family's main courtyard for Gao Jianli, but could not find Gao Jianli.
"Miss Gongsun, what can you do?" asked a Mohist disciple.
"Xiao Sun, where is Xiao Gao?" Gongsun Liji asked. Xiao Sun is Gao Jianli's deputy. Every commander has a deputy to help him handle Mohist affairs and arrange the Mohist disciples under his command.
"The commander has just returned to the city in a hurry. Before leaving, he asked me to give you a message, saying that he knows what he should do." Xiao Sun scratched his head and said.
Gongsun Liji was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted and asked
"What happened just now?"
"I don't know, but the commander seemed to have gone out last night. I don't know where he went." Xiao Sun said.
"I understand." Gongsun Liji said nothing and turned towards the debate stage.
Xiao Sun looked at Gongsun Liji in a hurry and scratched his head, shrugged helplessly, and continued to patrol.
By the time Gongsun Liji returned to the debate stage, envoys from hundreds of families and countries had already arrived, and Jing Ke was already standing on the high stage.
The editor is off work. Chapter 247 should be released tomorrow.
