The outskirts of Songhai City, the Mohist stronghold.
This stronghold is located in the wild forest on the outskirts of the city. It is not small in scale. It is just a small group of buildings connected together. It is not remote in terms of location, and people will pass by from time to time.
As a hidden stronghold, its concealment is really limited, but there is nothing we can do about it.
To establish a stronghold outside the city, unless you dig a hole and build it underground, or choose a location that is very far from the city, it is difficult to say how hidden it is. The main thing is to rely on the people in the stronghold to disguise themselves and deceive the outside world.
All Mohist disciples entering and exiting the stronghold will pretend to be ordinary people, making this Mohist stronghold look like an ordinary small village.
Although the land of Qilu is rich, not everyone can live in the city. There are still a large number of scattered villages outside the city, some are large and some are small - just like this Mohist stronghold, which looks like only
They look like more than a dozen households.
In order to look good, there is real land reclamation around the Mohist stronghold, and people are responsible for working every day, working from sunrise to sunset, trying to make everything look extremely natural.
Use this portrait of a mountain village to cover up the secret activities behind the scenes.
At this time, Master Ban and other Mohist leaders, including Gai Nie, as well as Xiang Liang, the leader of the Xiang clan, military commander Fan Zeng and others who arrived later, were all here.
However, they generally can only hide in the innermost courtyard and will not go out unless necessary, so as not to increase the risk of exposing themselves.
In the main room of the compound, Master Ban and other senior officials of the Mohist family, as well as Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng, were holding a small impromptu meeting.
"No news yet?" Master Ban asked, stroking his beard and slightly narrowing his old eyes.
Thief Zhi clasped his hands on his chest, curled his lips and shook his head, "No."
"These days, apart from watching Tianming being tortured, I just watch Tianming being tortured in different ways. There is no change at all. It's so boring!"
In fact, he was very interested at first, but later became numb.
After all, he is a giant of his own, so he is somewhat disgraced.
"Is there no movement from Mr. Zhang Liang?" Master Ban asked disbelievingly.
"No!" Daozhi replied helplessly in an aggravated tone, "The only time he has contact with Tianming every day is during class."
"Well... I can see that he is trying his best to help our giant, but it's a pity..."
Master Xu stroked his beard with his hand and added in a solemn tone, "Half a month has passed, and there is still no clue about the third painting left by Mr. Zhang Liang!"
"We would be too passive if we just wait blindly."
"There is no other way but to wait." Big Iron Hammer touched the hair on his head and answered with a naive smile, "We don't understand what that picture means."
Several other people ignored the big hammer.
If you don’t understand, you have to find a way to analyze and think about it and come up with an answer. You can’t just wait around in a daze.
Gao Jianli said in a deep voice, "Zifang's bag of tips is said to be left to Tianming Shaoyu and his friends, but now that they have settled down in the Little Sage Manor, there should be no problem."
"What is this third picture used for?"
"Perhaps... it's to deal with Li Si's next offensive?" Thief Zhi touched his chin and guessed with a smile, "Last time I found a fat woman to argue with me, next time maybe I'll find someone to come over and play chess?"

"Do you think so?"
Fan Zeng shook his head, "It shouldn't be possible."
"Tianming Shaoyu has a special status. The empire must pay extra attention to them. It is too dangerous for them to appear in front of imperial officials frequently."
"This kind of thing can't happen again. Besides, when it comes to playing chess, even Shao Yu's level can only be said to be impressive. As for Tian Ming... I don't think so. There are many masters in Confucianism who are better than the two of them.
, there is no need to go to them."
"If that picture refers to a game of chess, at least you can be sure that the two of them will have to play a game of chess with someone, right?" The snow girl interjected, looking across everyone's faces with her big, watery eyes, "
The food box referred to in the first picture is for the two of them to deliver, and the white horse in the second picture is for the two of them to face Gongsun Linglong's argument."
"No matter what the third picture points to, they must come forward in person."
Fan Zeng nodded slightly and agreed in a deep voice, "Miss Xue Nu made a good analysis. With Zhang Liang's wisdom, he will definitely pursue perfection. The first two things are related to Shao Yu Tianming, and the last one will definitely be no exception."

"From this point of view, if it is a game of chess, then one of the parties must be Tianming Shaoyu or one of them, so the doubt now is...who is the opponent?" Master Ban slapped his machine hand on the table, solemnly.
said.
Robber Zhi smiled crookedly, "So, my guess is quite reliable. It's most likely to deal with some imperial lackey, right?"
Master Xu laughed, "This... is hard to guess!"
Fan Zeng shook his head at this time and said thoughtfully, "I think the root of the problem may lie within Confucianism."
This unexpected statement immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Master Ban asked hesitantly, "What does Master Fan mean by this?"
"We must not forget that in this little sage's village, the only one who intends to rebel against Qin is Zhang Liang!"
"This..."
Everyone looked at each other, and the room became completely quiet for a while.
In the courtyard outside the house, Gai Nie was sitting on the steps, seemingly unaware of the conversation inside the house. He was just holding a small knife and silently cutting at a wooden stick.
It can be seen from the vaguely revealed prototype that he is most likely making a sword, a wooden sword.

A wooden sword used to replace Yuan Hong.
………………
Songhai City, General Mansion.
Meng Tian was wearing the same military uniform that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and Gu Xun was sitting across from him.
It's no wonder that he doesn't change his clothes. No general's armor is changed every day, not to mention that his body is a rare treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Meng family - Cangyun Armor.
Just as there are magical weapons like Yuanhong Tai'a in the world, which can cut iron like you, there is naturally an unbreakable armor corresponding to them.
Cangyun Armor is a famous divine armor, which is said to be able to block the sharp swords in the world.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration. Even a famous sword at the top of the sword spectrum can only leave a shallow mark when slashed. If it is an ordinary standard weapon, it can only produce a few fireworks.
Generally, the armor and stomach of a veteran on the battlefield are inevitably covered with criss-crossing ravine marks, and it won't take long for them to have to be re-dressed. However, Meng Tian's Cangyun Armor has been with him in battles for more than ten years, and it is still intact, with only a few pieces.
The obvious traces of Tao.
This kind of thing is undoubtedly a life-saving artifact on the battlefield. There are only a few treasures in the world, and it has saved Meng Tian many times.
Of course, it can only be effective on the battlefield. If you encounter martial arts masters in ordinary times, the meaning of the armor stomach is not very great.
It doesn't matter if the defense can't be broken, there are many other vital points that are not protected.
