After some analysis, Master Ban expressed his opinion:
"I think there is no rush to evacuate Songhai, but we can transfer manpower first."
Master Xu, who had not been seen much since arriving in Songhai, finally appeared this time and interjected:
"Then how long shall we stay?"
"There is no specific time written on the scroll. If you miss it..."
"About this..." Master Ban looked at Gai Nie, "I wonder if Mr. Gai can provide some information?"
Naturally, the person who knows the most about the internal affairs of the empire is Ge Nie, who was once the chief guard of Ying Zheng.
After Gai Nie pondered for a moment, he said:
"This is the first time that an emperor has gone on a tour. Gai doesn't know the specifics."
"However... when Ying Zheng goes on tour, Li Si, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, will only appear in two places."
"Either you stay in the imperial capital of Xianyang and sit at the center of the imperial court, or you stay with Ying Zheng and assist him in handling government affairs. It is absolutely impossible to stay in Songhai."
"So, we just have to keep an eye on Li Si to see if he's gone!" Sledgehammer said happily, slapping his hands after hearing this.
Hearing this, Gai Nie emphasized, "It is inevitable that Li Si will return to Xianyang before Ying Zheng goes on patrol, but it is uncertain how much time Ying Zheng will give us from the time he leaves."
Master Ban knocked on the table, "Li Si's logo is enough."
"No matter how you think about it, it cannot be less than a month until Ying Zheng goes on patrol and then arrives at Songhai. The time is enough for us."
Gao Jianli looked around and finally confirmed, "Does anyone have any objections?"
Everyone remained silent and acquiesced to Master Ban's arrangement.
Seeing this, Gao Jianli formally made the plan, "Since everyone has no objections, let's do what Master Ban wants."
After the decision was made, the meeting about the Black Dragon Scroll was over. Everyone dispersed. Big Hammer was busy moving Robber Zhi back to his room to recuperate.
However, Master Ban called away Ge Nie, who was about to leave alone, and took him aside to chat privately.
"Mr. Gai, old man, I have something to discuss with you."
Gai Nie frowned.
He is basically a non-staff member of the Mo family now. Generally, Master Ban and the others will specifically consult with him only on major matters.
Ordinary Mohist affairs have nothing to do with him.
Gai Nie was not interested in asking.
Under this situation, Ganie could think of only one thing that required Master Ban to talk to him privately - something related to Tianming.
"But Tianming, what happened?"
Master Ben gave a wry smile, "As expected of Mr. Gai, he hit the nail on the head."
"Zifang sent an urgent message from the city, and it was about Tianming."
"Last night, Tianming was walking around Songhai City at night, and happened to bump into the left guardian star soul of the Yin-Yang family who was patrolling the streets in the city."
"Star Soul..." Gai Nie's eyes narrowed when he heard this descendant of the Yin Yang family who had just fought against him not long ago.
In Gai Nie's opinion, the people of the Yin Yang family all have some kind of brain disease, and they are all people who can and should not be messed with - it is not a question of whether they can be beaten or not.
As for Xinghun, a seemingly young boy of half a dozen, among all the abnormal humans in the Yin Yang family, he is the one with the most sinister temperament and the most perverted one.
It is really not a good thing for Tianming to meet such a powerful but inhumane character.
Master Ben’s mellow and gentle voice then sounded and continued:
"Don't worry, Mr. Gai, he's fine. Xinghun left because of the disturbance in the General's Mansion, and Zifang saved him."
"But Zifang said in the letter that Xinghun seemed to have done something to Tianming, irritating him, causing the sleeping curse seal to suddenly become active, and then activating the internal power passed down to him by Juzi."
"Multiple forces clashed within Tianming's body, causing him a lot of damage. In the end, it was the little girl named Shi Lan who was born in Shushan who helped Tianming survive."
"Zifang said that although Tianming was lucky to be safe and sound last night, I'm afraid the situation is still not optimistic."
Gai Nie's face darkened.
He rarely has such obvious changes in mood, and only what happened at dawn can cause him to be like this.
"That ovary means..."
Master Ban replied, "Zifang feels that Tianming's health problem should not be delayed any longer."
"He asked Master Xun about it, and Master Xun said he already had some clues, but there were certain risks."
"So, old man, I think I need to seek your opinion first."
After a moment of silence, Gai Nie replied:
"There are specialties in the art industry. Let Miss Duanmu and Master Xun take full responsibility for Tianming's physical problems. Gai will leave it alone."
Master Ban nodded, "In that case, old man, I will go to Miss Rong to talk about this matter, and then I will find a way to contact Master Xun. I will let you know when there is news."
"Thank you, senior."
"Mr. Gai is too polite." Master Ban smiled and waved his hand, "Tianming is now a giant of the Mo family, and I should do what I should do as an old man."
………………
That day, it was dusk in the evening.
After a whole day of sun exposure, the entire city was in a scorching heat.
However, Songhai is a coastal city with a large temperature difference between day and night. At dusk, the temperature gradually begins to drop.
At this time, there are the most vendors and stalls on the streets, the most pedestrians on the streets, and the busiest time in the entire city.
Tianming and Shaoyu, wearing Confucian disciple uniforms, were wandering on the street.
There was a faint trace of oil stains on the sides of the mouths of the two of them. They thought they would eat less after walking all the way.
When the two of them walked to a slightly wider main road, they were attracted by the crowd gathered together.
There are fewer vendors in this area, so the space on the streets is wider than in other places.
At this time, the main road ahead was crowded with people. It looked like there was a lot of fun to join in!
These two brothers would never miss joining in the fun, so they immediately squeezed in.
Relying on their young age, short stature, and small size, the two of them managed to get through the crowded crowds and squeezed into the innermost seats without causing public outrage.
After entering, the two of them understood why so many people gathered here.
It turned out that someone was performing acrobatics... it should be acrobatics.
Although Songhai City is bustling and lively, juggling performances, especially excellent juggling performances, are rare.
This has been even more true during this time.
Generally speaking, the acrobatics team is basically composed of practitioners, who are more or less related to Jianghu.
Now that the Songhai area is under full martial law and heavily guarded, most of the acrobatic teams are naturally unwilling to come to Songhai.
You can make money anywhere. There is no need to brave the wind to come to Songhai, as it can easily lead to trouble.
And the juggling team that Tianming and the others met now was even more special.
The members of this team, from their appearance to their clothes, do not look like they are from the Central Plains, but more like they come from some remote tribe.
