Faced with Zhang Liang's incomprehensible and profound words, Gao Jianli made no statement. He just wanted to prevent the situation from developing in a worse direction.
"Mr. Zhang Liang, this is a grudge between the Mo family and Niliuxha. Please stay out of it and don't interfere."
Zhang Liang turned around and looked over, smiled warmly, and responded softly:
"I'm not here to watch people fight."
"Besides, judging from the current situation of the Mo family, even if the only enemy is Brother Wei Zhuang, I'm afraid there is no chance of victory."
Sledgehammer waved his hand and shouted, "So what!"
"Even if we can't escape intact, we can still pull him to death together!"
Wei Zhuang's reaction to Sledgehammer's 'bold words' was only a cold snort...or maybe a sneer. As for the specific meaning, you can understand it yourself.
Seeing that the atmosphere became tense again, Zhang Liang hurriedly raised his hand and said:
"Everyone, please listen to me!"
"Listen to me!"
Gao Jianli frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Zhang Liang want to say?"
"Ha!" Zhang Liang looked around and said, "Everyone, by now, I think you should be able to understand one thing."
"What's the matter?" Big Hammer, the most impatient one, asked first.
Zhang Liang looked at the people of the Mo family and replied slowly, "The Moh family and Niliusha...or to be more precise, the Mohist family and Liusha are not completely hostile existences."
"The Mohists have the ambitions of the Mohists, and the quicksand also has the ideas of quicksand. There may be some differences in the ultimate goals of the two sides, but I don't think it will be completely opposite."
"In this case, perhaps it would be a better choice for the two parties to put aside their grudges and cooperate with each other."
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the Mo family's side opened their eyes wide, with astonishment written all over their faces.
The big hammer, whose mouth is always faster than his brain, waved his hand and refused decisively:
"This is impossible!"
This time, his words were recognized by his companions.
Gao Jianli refused directly and solemnly:
"Liusha obeys the empire and is Ying Zheng's lackey. What's more, there is still a bloody score between the Mo family and Liusha that has not been settled!"
"We, the Mo family, will never cooperate with Liusha under any circumstances!"
Not long ago, the Mo family's headquarters was personally breached by Wei Zhuang. Not to mention the fall and destruction of the government city, the giant Yan Dan was also killed in it. This was already an almost irreconcilable blood feud.
Not to mention, the death of Jing Ke many years ago.
Perhaps the main responsibility for Yan Dan's death lies with the Yin Yang family, but Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang actually died at the hands of Gu Xun.
This account cannot be settled in any way.
Regarding the reaction of everyone in the Mo family, Wei Zhuang sneered again, but this time he spoke:
"Ah!"
"You don't need to be so excited, Gu Xun will not cooperate with the Mo family... To be precise, there is no need."
Zhang Liang also smiled and explained:
"Friends of the Mo family, please don't get me wrong. What I mean by 'quicksand' mainly refers to Brother Wei Zhuang and myself."
The big hammer who could not speak but his brain suddenly became confused when he heard this and muttered loudly:
"You two... what kind of quicksand is this?"
Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Wei Zhuang and I are both founding members of Liusha. Why can't the two of us represent Liusha?"
"Ah, this..." The stupid-mouthed Hammer didn't know what to say, so he closed his mouth sadly.
At this time, Xue Nu suddenly interjected, "You didn't ask for Gu Xun's consent?"
Zhang Liang's gaze shifted to Xue Nu, who had been silent all this time. He was not surprised that the other party exposed the core issue with one word, and nodded and admitted:
"On this point, Miss Snow Girl is right."
"What I did today was indeed without Brother Gu's consent."
"But..." Zhang Liang changed the subject, "He has no intention of stopping it."
At this time, Master Ban stroked his beard and interrupted, "In any case, since the leader of Quicksand does not admit the cooperation, there is no way to discuss this matter."
"Zifang, old man, I can understand some of your thoughts, but... in short, don't mention cooperation."
Wei Zhuang snorted coldly and looked at everyone in the Mo family with contempt:
"Hmph! For stubborn idiots like you, Gu Xun will certainly not choose you as a partner!"
"Zifang, I told you before, you are just wasting your efforts."
Zhang Liang winked at Wei Zhuang, telling him to be calm, and then turned around to face everyone in the Mo family:
"Friends of the Mohist family, I know the grudges in your hearts and understand your resistance, but I hope you can carefully consider the dangerous situation that the Mohist family is facing today - I am not referring to this crisis tonight, but to the Mohist family.
There is a huge gap in strength between the empire and the empire.”
"Furthermore, what I said is that the quicksand that wants to cooperate with the Mohists is closer to the 'qusand of the past' than the current quicksand, and it has nothing to do with Brother Gu, the leader of today's quicksand."
"What are you talking about... isn't quicksand just quicksand, so what's the difference between 'past' and 'present'?" Big Hammer muttered and shouted.
Gao Jianli also calmly retorted, "This is just sophistry, quicksand is quicksand."
Wei Zhuang suddenly said, "It is indeed different."
This statement immediately attracted the attention of many people.
It’s okay for Zhang Liang to deceive people by saying this. After all, he is a Confucian disciple and has little to do with Liusha.
But you, Wei Zhuang, are one of the most important members of Liusha. What do you mean by saying that?
Imagine that Heaven is dead and Huang Tian is standing?
Wei Zhuang ignored everyone's strange looks and said in a deep voice:
"After the owner of the quicksand changes, the quicksand changes accordingly, a completely different change."
What Wei Zhuang said was purely stating the facts.
As leaders, Gu Xun and Han Fei are completely different.
Han Fei is a relatively pure idealist, and his thinking and acting style are not that of a leader.
As for Gu Xun, he has no ideals and ambitions. He is much more practical than Han Fei, but he has no interest in being a leader.
The quicksand under Gu Xun is a serious organization that may not be strict but is sound enough and functional enough. It is a completely normal power group.
Liusha under Han Fei is not a force in the general sense. It is more likely to be an extension of Han Fei's own will, just like the philosophy of the Liusha organization when it was first established - using skills to detect evil and using punishment to stop punishment.
To put it bluntly, to Gu Xun, quicksand is a tool to achieve his goal, while to Han Fei, quicksand is his goal itself.
There are naturally fundamental differences between the two.
But outsiders naturally won't understand the difference.
To them, quicksand is just quicksand, except that its leader used to be the Ninth Young Master of South Korea, but now he is the national advisor of the empire... and he is even more powerful.
Wei Zhuang's mood was very calm.
He didn't care about the change of quicksand.
He once joined Quicksand, full of ambitions, and prepared to change the world with Han Fei, but later he discovered that changing the world was not an easy task, even though he and Han Fei were both the most capable people in the world.
As a result, both his and Han Fei's ideals and ambitions collapsed, and Quicksand almost fell apart. In the end, Gu Xun took over again and evolved into what it is today.
Although Quicksand has changed, Wei Zhuang has not been changed at the same time. He is still the same person, so what should he care about?
The demise of the quicksand in the past was due to its own problems—it was also the problems of the founders of the quicksand in the past.
Wei Zhuang has no interest in covering up the problems he once had.
However, Master Ben and others may not be able to take what he said as calmly as he did.
Of course, they did not question Wei Zhuang face to face if he had any disobedient intentions, but silently decided to stay away from possible dangers as much as possible.
Therefore, they all remained silent - the only brainless Big Hammer also remained silent at Gao Jianli's signal.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but laugh when he saw their performance.
Fortunately, this was what he expected, so it wasn't a big problem.
"First of all, I need to make it clear to you that there is no need to think too much about what I just said. It is just a way of saying so that you can put aside your grudges and accept this cooperation."
"Secondly, I would like to ask everyone in the Mo family, are you really... going to reject this cooperation because of your own opinions?"
"This is not a personal opinion, it is a matter of principle!" Master Ban emphasized his tone and corrected him solemnly.
Zhang Liang spread his hands and asked, "A matter of principle... is it true?"
"The Mo family is not about attacking, it is about loving life."
"Because of their own ideological concepts, the Mohists decided to oppose the harsh tyranny of the empire, and then embarked on the path of anti-Qin."
"If I understand correctly, this is your... principle, right?"
Master Ban and Gao Jianli looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and nodded in unison.
"Yes, this is indeed the most fundamental principle of Mohism." Master Ban replied.
"In this case, opposing Qin, or opposing the atrocities that persecute the people, is your fundamental principle. So if it is to oppose Qin, do you still insist on refusing to cooperate?"
"This...this cannot be confused with the quicksand. We can still oppose the tyranny of the empire if we don't join the quicksand!" Master Ban immediately thought of a rebuttal.
Zhang Liang pursed his lips and smiled and continued:
"But without this help, can the Mohist family really overthrow the empire's rule?"
"Or is it that the principle adhered to by Mohism is just to do it without considering whether it can succeed?"
Zhang Liang finally reminded me meaningfully, "If you want to achieve such a difficult goal, you have to pay something..."
"...Then the Mo family can't use any means to achieve their goals." Master Ban shook his head in denial in a deep voice.
"Then... I think you should think carefully about what constitutes the end justifies the means."
"Also, I have one more thing to remind you..." Zhang Liang continued, "You should know how the Great Qin Empire, which is now huge and extremely powerful, has 'grown' step by step."
"Destroy Han and destroy Zhao, defeat Yan and defeat Wei, attack Chu with the whole country, and force Qi to surrender..."
"Was the Qin State really powerful enough to defeat the six kingdoms by itself?"
Everyone in the Mo family fell silent.
The Qin State was strong, but it was obviously not strong enough to defeat six of them. Otherwise, there would be no need to mobilize the whole country to attack the Chu State in the first place.
It can destroy the six kingdoms step by step by defeating them one by one.
The Shandong kingdoms, which had joined forces to fight Qin several times, failed to join forces again this time, and then perished.
Looking at everyone in the Mo family who had serious expressions and each had his own thoughts, Zhang Liang's eyes flashed and he continued:
"For the Shandong countries in the past, there were wars between each country and they were hurt by other countries, especially Qi, which was jointly attacked by five countries."
"For the rulers of these countries, perhaps... joining forces with other countries is also breaking their own principles and using unscrupulous means?"
"As for their fate... having said all this, I mainly want to remind you that the mistakes made by the past can serve as lessons for the future!"
"Do you really want to continue with this meaningless and childish persistence?"
Everyone in the Mo family looked at each other, a little at a loss.
Gai Nie and Xiaoyaozi stood aside quietly without saying a word.
At this time, it happened to be the first day of the sunrise. When the sky was bright, the bright and clear morning light broke through the mist in the forest and shone on everyone.
………………
In Songhai City, there is an inn.
Cook Ding rubbed his sleepy eyes and hurriedly walked towards the door amid the prompting and loud knocking on the door, muttering:
"Who? Who!?"
"Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning? We haven't received guests recently!"
When he reached the door, the knocking on the door stopped in time.
Cook Ding opened the door of the inn impatiently and was immediately stunned.
Under the slanting light of the early morning sun, seven men of different shapes stood on the empty street.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! One is in front, and the other six are in the back.
The leader, wearing a red official robe and a high crown, with faintly visible red hair on his temples, is none other than the leader of Luo Shen—Zhao Gao!
And the person standing behind him was naturally the Six Sword Slave.
After disappearing all night, they appeared at the door of an inn.
Cook Ding's heart was suddenly pinched, and the fat all over his body was trembling. He suppressed his fear and wanted to speak.
Zhao Gao spoke before him, and his high-pitched voice made Pao Ding's heart feel like he was being pricked with needles:
"Shopkeeper Ding, Mr. Xiangguo personally ordered it, please come with me."
Cook Ding opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.
Because he knew that at this moment, nothing he said made any sense.
………………
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Li Si came to meet Fusu again.
"Young Master, General Meng is reorganizing the army in the camp at the moment. He will rush back to Xianyang immediately after the reorganization is completed."
"As for those Mohists who rebelled... Because of the Red Dragon Scroll, General Meng was forced to give up the pursuit that was about to be completed, and his success was in vain."
Fusu nodded, his expression unchanged, and responded calmly, "The Red Dragon Scroll is important, the rebellion... is a pity, but if you give up, you give up."
Li Si lowered his head and continued to report, "Zhao Gao has brought back the innkeeper, Cook Ding, and he has been ordered to be sent to the 'Tooth-Eating Prison'."
"Tooth-gnawing prison..." Fusu was stunned, then laughed, "It seems that Lord Xiangguo attaches great importance to this clue... It doesn't matter, tooth-gnawing prison is tooth-gnawing prison, just remember my previous instructions not to go over it.
.”
"My lord understands."
"Well... I have one more thing to do," Li Si continued.
"Xiang Guo, please speak."
"Actually, it's a private matter." Li Si showed a polite smile and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to host a banquet for you, Your Highness, at Haiyue Xiaozhu in a few days."
