In fact, if you think about it carefully, what Gongsun Ji said just now was not a profound reasoning. In ancient times, when resources and imagination were extremely scarce, there was basically no profound reasoning. On weekdays, farmers worked in front of the loess and the world, and did not have much time to think about some profound problems, so they seemed ignorant. Although people like Yin Zhao were not as quick-witted as Gongsun Ji, they understood the great principles. If they could just make a little effort, they would understand...

At least at this time point, only the people who have the motivation and ability to kill Yin Xian are the only ones who have the same motivation.

If everything Gongsun Ji said about Yue Jinshi was true, then Yin Zihan would have a complete reason to wipe out Peiguo: it was like lying under a bed, allowing others to sleep soundly, not to mention that Peiguo, which had mastered the "anti-Immortal" weapon deposits, was not far from Zhongnan Mountain, and it was only half a day to walk on the water. This small country that was so close to him was like a thorn in Yin Zihan's heart, and he would sooner or later get rid of it!

This... Gongsun Ji knew about it, so he chose to make a marriage contract with him, hoping to get a truce for at least a few decades. The old king was dead, and the new king only took a few days to control the government, and it would take some time to stabilize and develop the power in the court. It is said that "the foreign country must be settled first." When Gongsun Ji completely grasped political rights, he would naturally study the various functions of Yue Jinshi. With his intelligence, he would definitely use this rare gift to the extreme to threaten and even balance the power of the Yin clan, and take this opportunity to expand outward and become a major force among the vassal states to compete for the world!

Unfortunately, Yin Zihan saw through this, so he didn't plan to give him a chance.

When Yin Xian died in Pei State, Gongsun Ji was absolutely inseparable from the relationship. In ancient times when physical evidence identification had not yet developed, if someone was charged with "deliberate murder", he would not find any reason to refute him... As long as the news of Yin Xian's death was learned by the Yin clan, they would immediately send a team of troops to attack in the name of "revenge" and seize the real power of Pei State from the Gongsun family. To be more specific, it should be to seize the power of mining and allocate Yue Jinshi.

There is another assumption - that is, this is not the case at all. The whole incident was planned by Gongsun Ji and Yin Zihan.

But Yin Zhao thought about it carefully and felt that this assumption was too outrageous... It was meaningless to go through a lot of trouble to deceive himself. He was a small mortal, and he played at most an optional role in this plan. If Yin Zihan wanted Yin Xian to die, he would have a thousand different methods. Just a mortal... he could not stop anything and could not change the overall situation.

But, there are some things that even though they know they are meaningless, even if they know they will fail, they must do it!

Because this was not only Yin Zhao's decision alone, but also the only truly meaningful thing he did in his entire life.

If he retreated here, perhaps Yin Zhao would regret it in his life. One day, when he got old, he lost his strength in his bone marrow, and could only lie alone on the big bed waiting to die... At that time, he would still feel cowardly about it - he had no face to face the messenger who came to pick him up, and even no face to face Yin Xian in the underworld.

So Yin Zhao had to go, he had to face Yin Zihan, and had to raise his weapons to avenge Yin Xian.

This time, he was ready to never come back...

Lying across the boat is not

On the wide deck, he stared at the flowing clouds in the sky, and Yin Zhao's thoughts became light. He squinted his eyes, trying to see through the world on the clouds with his naked eyes. But no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to peek over the clouds with the power of the human eye. He could only see balls of gloomy clouds piled up together, forming an illusory pattern. Against their backdrop, the whole sky changed from blue to dark blue, giving people an alternative sense of mystery.

He suddenly felt that life could be so absurd - everything he had experienced in the past few days, great sorrow and joy, was like a dream, perhaps even a dream would not dare to do it... The capricious fate was like this sky, just now it was clear sky, but in an instant, his face changed, and an unprecedented storm was brewing in it. When it took shape, it would pounce on the world with a hundred times its might.

Yin Zhao knew that this trip would definitely die. According to convention, he should start to release the lantern in the moment before his death. However, given that Yin Zihan's strength was too strong, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave this time, so he started thinking now...

What valuable things have I done in my life, except today in just fourteen years?

Or... Is it really valuable to be born, live in the world, and then die?

...

At the moment of death, everyone is a philosopher.

———

Yin Zhao turned over, and the sailor in feathered clothes appeared in his sight. Even in this bad situation, there was still a faint smile on the corner of Gongsun Ji's mouth. After his repeated insistence, Yin Zhao agreed to let him be the boatman and return him safely to Zhongnan Mountain as if he had sent him to Peiguo. This dignified king of a country skillfully controlled the oars and stared at the ocean currents. The change of wind direction was moving forward with ease in the reefs and vortexes, and just avoided the possible dangers.

From the perspective of others, Gongsun Ji's boat handling skills can be regarded as the word "art".

Just like his ability to manipulate people's hearts.

"Until now, I can't see through what you are thinking." Yin Zhao suddenly spoke. On the sea, his voice was not blocked, and could spread far away, as if he was talking with a dream. "Sometimes I'm really curious... How could a person like you appear in this world?"

"Brother...Brother, you are too worried." Gongsun Ji smiled unquestionably, shook his head, and said, "In addition to being Gongsun Ji, I am also the king of Pei. I have to consider many things from the standpoint of a monarch. I must be responsible to the royal family, to the court ministers, and to the people... There is no way, this is born to be destined."

"Encourage me to assassinate Yin Zihan and get preparation time for your local war in Peiguo... Is this also a way for you to be 'responsible'?" Yin Zhao shrugged suddenly and said, "When I return to Zhongnan Mountain, manage the whole country, then assassinate Yin Zihan, and then die at his hands... This kind of process can at least buy you half a day. Just when we leave Peiguo, the battle plan for using Yuejinshi against the immortals must have been arranged in full swing... When Yin Zihan and the others arrived angrily, they will be greeted with batches of long-range weapons that had mixed Yuejinshi...

It’s a great move to abandon the car to keep the handsome guy, and it’s really beautiful.”

"Hehehe, my dear brother

The words... are so bad, how can I say that it was my 'encourage'?" Gongsun Ji deliberately did not answer the counterattack plan that Yin Zhao reasoned, but grabbed a word in his first half of the sentence and responded sly, "Kill Yin Zihan is your wish in itself, isn't it?"

"...ah." Yin Zhao sighed, as if he had lost all his strength at once, and lay on the deck like a salted fish again, not replying.

He admitted it.

Since he admitted it, he had to start formulating an assassination plan. It would be impossible to escape without any chance... From now on, he has to regard his body as a "consumable". If he can hurt Yin Zihan, even if he cuts his hands, feet and head, he must do it without hesitation and seizes the opportunity of the fighter, so that he can grasp the probability of victory that is so small that it is almost zero.

But...even if you break your hands and feet, can you really hurt Yin Zihan?

After all, the body of an immortal is different from that of a mortal. His kung fu can be said to be one of the best among a mortal, but when placed in front of an immortal... Even Yin Xian couldn't beat him, let alone Yin Zihan? What's the difference between this and an egg hitting a stone? It's even possible that he didn't have the chance to get close to him at all. As soon as he got off the boat, he might be captured by the several hawks of the Yin clan...

When he was in trouble, he heard two "clang" and "clang". It turned out that Gongsun Ji, who was the oar, poked two objects out of his cuff and gently pushed them in front of Yin Zhao. Gongsun Ji was indeed a good player to grasp hidden weapons. In the duel just now, in addition to the almost certain peacock feathers, there was also such a killing weapon hidden, which really caught Yin Zhao off guard.

Considering that Gongsun Ji had never lived in a godly mansion and had never been infected by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, his ability to achieve such achievements in martial arts can indeed be summarized in the word "genius"...

When I looked closely, it turned out to be two slender lotus carved from fine iron. The buds were closed, and one end was sharp and thorny. It was pointed on a person's Adam's apple. With just a little force, it could penetrate the flesh and make people's blood flow. Yin Zhao was also a martial artist after all, and he was inevitably fond of hidden weapons. He picked it up and played with it for a while. Although the shape of this lotus was a bit pretentious, it was still lethal, which was better than nothing...

"This thing is called 'Huagai'. Ten years ago, when Gongshumen visited our country, he left behind a drawing of this hidden weapon, and then restored it through the hands of a skilled craftsman in my country. Indeed, the layer wrapped outside is full of fine iron tools. Even if the immortal saw it, he would only think that this was a toy with a unique shape and a far greater or less ornamental effect than the actual effect, so he relaxed his vigilance. But in fact... the structure inside the canopy is all made of moon and gold stone!"

"Did you see the clasp on the lotus handle? Pull it... Don't pull it now! When you feel the time is ripe, pull it, and then aim the tip of the lotus at the target. In a moment, the internal mechanism pulling spring will loosen, causing the originally closed buds to open, and sixteen sharp lotus blades will be shot out from the inside. These blades are made of pure moon and gold stone raw materials. As long as you hit the target, you will either die or be injured!"

Yin Zhao was stunned and stared at the two lotus flowers in his hand in a daze, unable to speak.
