"Why, you want to help me go to the appointment between heaven and man?" Xiaomeng asked casually.
Once the Daze Mountain incident was over, the only thing left for her recently was the discussion of swords between heaven and man.
"..." The smile on Xiao Ling's face froze, and she replied, "I can't fight... I can't fight."
After calming down his embarrassment for a while, Xiao Ling asked seriously, "Since the appointment between heaven and man is approaching, the disciple should return to the mountain gate..."
Xiaomeng interrupted him rudely, but still said casually, "What are you going back for? To cheer?"
According to regulations, only the two sect leaders and the elders must participate in the covenant between heaven and man.
The former is responsible for the competition, and the latter is responsible for witnessing and ensuring safety.
As for the disciples of the two sects, they were just onlookers - that was the identity Xiaoling had when he returned.
The spectators are obviously dispensable, and it doesn't matter whether Xiaoling comes back or not.
"..." Xiao Lingrang was so choked that she couldn't speak for a while. After a while, she smiled bitterly and said goodbye, "Disciple, please leave."
After saying that, he turned around and left without saying another word.
What Xiao Meng said was true, and it was a good thing for Xiao Ling, but it didn't quite sit well with her.
It's not that Xiaomeng doesn't understand, it's just that he has no interest in polishing his words.
She will not add entities unless necessary.
In fact, according to Xiaomeng's opinion, disciples like Xiaoling should be expelled from Tianzong directly.
Wait until he is done with the worldly affairs at the foot of the mountain, and then let him return to the mountain gate.
It's not that Tianzong doesn't allow disciples to go down the mountain, it's just that... those who don't care about the mountain should be allowed to go down.
A person is on the mountain, but all his thoughts are at the bottom of the mountain. What's the use of staying there?
No matter for Tianzong or for individuals.
………………
Jiaodong County, Guxun's small courtyard in Songhai City.
"Where is the east patrol team?" Gu Xun clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes wandering and not knowing what he was thinking, and asked Zhang Han, who had come to see him just after returning to Songhai.
Zhang Han entered the door without saying a word and was asked a question first. He was stunned for a moment and then replied, "According to the previous news and the speed of the convoy, it is probably... that after passing the second county of Sanchuan and Yingchuan, it has reached the first generation of Yangjun, Dongjun.
Already."
The route of Ying Zheng's eastward patrol was probably from Xianyang to the east. After leaving the pass, he first passed through the Central Plains area, that is, through Hedong Hanoi, Sanchuan Yingchuan, Dongyang and other counties, and then entered the Qilu area, which is Jibei and Linzi.
, Xue, Langya, Jiaodong and other counties, and finally turned south from the Jiaodong Langya area in the far east, passing through parts of Jingchu, including Sichuan, Donghui, Hengshan, Nanyang and other counties, and then returned to Xianyang.
Among them, the main focus of Ying Zheng's "care" is the Qilu area, and the less important area is the Jingchu area, and other places are basically added conveniently.
Therefore, the speed of the Dongxuan Team in Yingchuan and other places was relatively faster, and it was approaching Dongjun Yiyi so quickly.
"Hmm..." Gu Xun shook his hands slightly behind his back and continued to ask, "About when will the convoy enter the vicinity of Mount Tai?"
"As an estimate..." Zhang Han raised his head slightly and thought for a moment before replying, "No more than half a month, ten days if faster."
"What's the current situation of Mount Tai?" Gu Xun continued to ask.
"His Majesty the Emperor has not issued an order, and officials in various places are still relatively calm. However, the surrounding counties have begun martial law, and the soldiers stationed in the counties have mobilized." Zhang Han responded.
Without the emperor's order, even if everyone knew that he was going to be granted Zen status, no one would dare to leave their post without permission and run over to show their courtesy.
However, the preparation work that can be done must be done in advance.
Putting aside the matter of the Taishan Fengchan ceremony, we still have to welcome the emperor’s inspection, right?
When Ying Zheng came here, every county was in a state of turmoil, but the one near Mount Tai was particularly strict because of the Feng Chan policy.
After Gu Xun raised his head and considered it for a while, he ordered Zhang Han:
"In my name, I will give a memorial to the emperor."
"As for the content... let's talk about the conferment of Zen on Mount Tai. This is a serious matter. In order to ensure the safety of the emperor and the accompanying officials, it is recommended to dispatch armor-piercing troops to be stationed around Mount Tai."
"Hmm... Also, it is recommended that Han Xin temporarily lead the armor-piercing troops to defend Mount Tai."
Zhang Han could barely maintain his composure in the first sentence, but as soon as the following suggestion came out, he couldn't hold back at all, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but crack:
"Sir...ha..."
He couldn't hold back a laugh, then quickly adjusted his expression and said solemnly, "Sir, the matter of Mount Tai's enshrinement is just a matter of time..."
Gu Xun raised his hand to interrupt him, "Just do as I say, and it's not like I'm doing it in your name."
"By the way, one more thing - if the emperor is not satisfied with the use of armor-piercing soldiers, no matter which troops are used, I recommend that Han Xin be used to guard the troops."
"...Yes, the general knows." Zhang Han nodded helplessly, but he still wanted to laugh in his heart.
If the emperor really takes this advice, it will be great fun.
Han Xin only used the armor-piercing soldiers of Hundred Battles to make peasant prisoners, but then arranged for him to lead the armor-piercing soldiers of Hundred Battles... It seems a bit humorous.
If it really happened, Zhang Han could only say that it was fortunate that the armor-piercing soldiers did not know who defeated them.
Gu Xun didn't take this matter to heart.
His main purpose was to arrange for Han Xin to guard Mount Tai to ensure the success of the Taishan Fengchan ceremony.
Although in theory this matter will definitely end successfully, but... this is not the historical world he knows after all. Who knows what Zhao Gao or those anti-Qin forces can do?
Ying Zheng's character has a great joy, and he has been thinking about Mount Tai's enshrinement in recent years, and Gu Xun didn't want to let him down.
Moreover, if the matter of enshrining Zen is handled more satisfactorily, the Confucianists may have less trouble.
As for the armor-piercing soldier...it's just his bad taste.
If you have the chance to have fun, why not?
"Is there any reaction from Luo Wang?" Gu Xun then asked.
Zhang Han shook his head, "They probably gritted their teeth and endured the Daze Mountain matter... It's a pity that they ran away to hide the sun."
Then he added, "Most of Luo Wang's attention is now on the issue of Mount Tai's enshrinement."
"Well..." Gu Xun nodded, "Zhao Gao personally went to Daze Mountain and was scared away by Gai Nie and the others. I guess when he left, he guessed that you would target the remaining Snare Killers.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But he still asked Zhan Sun to organize another ambush on you... It seems to be intentional."
Zhang Han frowned and asked, "Is he testing?"
"Maybe." Gu Xun is not sure, but he doesn't care. "It may be a sign of weakness, or a combination of both."
"Zhao Gao is a man who cannot afford to suffer losses. Coincidentally, I am the same."
"Luo Wang dares to attack you. If you don't give Liusha an explanation, then I will give him an explanation."
Zhang Han was too smart to think about the so-called explanation.
To sum up, Zhao Fuling, who is unwilling to suffer losses, must suffer some losses.
What he is more concerned about is the question of testing, "If it is a test, the eldest lady..."
"She's playing with her, why are you so idle?" Gu Xun raised his hand and said perfunctorily.
Now that the situation in the farmhouse has temporarily stabilized and Ayan has not been discovered, it doesn't matter to Gu Xun.
Who cares if a kid loses when they are playing?
Ayan must be responsible for this kind of thing... Anyway, as long as nothing happens to her, that's fine.
Zhang Han was a little overthinking and hurriedly replied, "The general is talking too much."
Gu Xun didn't bother to explain anything and continued, "Zhao Gao should have noticed something is wrong with Songhai."
"With Little Sage Village here, he will definitely allocate a new group of people here. You should pay more attention recently."
"I will understand." Zhang Han nodded in agreement.
"Also...send people to keep an eye on Zhang Liang, and keep a closer eye." Gu Xun also ordered, "Not only should keep an eye on him, but also pay attention to other people who are keeping an eye on him."
"Master Zhang San... Your Excellency should know that this is not easy to handle." Zhang Han did not nod directly, but raised the difficulty.
Zhang Liang's own strength is secondary, mainly due to his good brain, and it is too difficult to keep an eye on him.
Gu Xun waved his hand and said, "Try your best to at least make sure that when you can't keep an eye on him, others can't stand it either."
After saying this, Zhang Han understood and nodded repeatedly, "I understand, sir."
"I'm afraid you will be very busy next." Gu Xun looked at the sky. Today's weather is not very good. "You only need to do what the shadow guard should do, and there is no need to report to me again.
"
"Yes." Zhang Han nodded.
In fact, he would not report everything to Gu Xun before. Now it is because the Shadow Guard has been assigned to the eldest son Fusu.
"Okay, I've finished what I want to say." Gu Xun clasped his hands together and asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
"General, I mainly want to ask about Daze Mountain, should I..."
Zhang Han answered and pointed in the direction of Xianyang.
He wanted to seek Gu Xun's opinion on whether he should truthfully report the whole story of Daze Mountain.
Gu Xun replied without thinking, "Just report as usual."
"Zhao Gao must have excuses, but why he doesn't stick to the pan is his business, and how you report it is your business."
"As for whom the emperor believes, how much he believes, and how to deal with it, that is his business."
Zhang Han nodded, said nothing more, cupped his fists and saluted, and left directly.
………………
On the outskirts of Songhai City, the Mohist stronghold.
Ganie slowly walked out of his residence, and he could faintly hear shouts from the other side of the house.
That was Tianming's voice, he was practicing swordsmanship.
Gai Nie walked along the path to the plank road by the seaside. Master Ban and the others were all here, as well as Xiaoyaozi, the head of the Human Sect.
When Master Ben saw Gai Nie, he raised his hand and said, "Mr. Gai!"
Gai Nie approached the crowd, greeted each other, and finally looked at Xiaoyaozi:
"Mr. Xiaoyao."
Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "Mr. Gai."
Then he asked proactively, "I heard that Tianming's condition has improved a lot?"
He has been dealing with sect affairs these days and was only free to come over today.
Gai Nie nodded and replied truthfully, "Yes, the power of the sleeping curse seal has weakened."
"Tianming's attention and thinking ability are significantly improved now compared to the past."
Thief Zhi interjected and asked, "Mr. Gai, how have you been practicing sword practice with you these two days?"
Gai Nie replied calmly, "The progress is obvious."
"Without the influence of the sleeping curse seal, Tianming's root talent is very good."
Hearing this, Gao Jianli and other leaders of the Mo family looked at each other, showing obvious joy.
This is absolutely good news for them.
When Tianming first succeeded to the throne, they had joined forces to be his teachers, teaching them the skills they were good at.
In the end, everyone held back their anger and felt lonely.
Although Tianming's words and subsequent series of practical actions did impress them and made them recognize this new giant from the bottom of their hearts.
But if possible, they still hope to teach Tianming a little more... At least as a Mohist giant, he can't even speak an idiom.
He is not a cook!
Of course, the top priority right now is Gai Nie’s swordsmanship guidance.
In today's world, as a giant, Tianming's most important ability is to be able to fight.
Once this point is satisfied, other questions can be discussed later.
Xiaoyaozi nodded after hearing this, "Let me check him out later."
"Suppressing the Sleeping Curse... To be honest, if you hadn't said it yourself, Mr. Gai, I wouldn't even be able to believe it."
"Even Master Beimingzi of Tianzong would find it difficult to do this."
It can be said that Taoists know the difficulty of Yin Yang's spells, especially those forbidden spells.
The effect is really overbearing.
Fortunately, it is difficult to practice and it is also difficult to perform. Otherwise, the Yin and Yang family would probably be overturned.
Thief Zhi interjected, "Not only the sleeping curse seal, Tianming has also been hit by the Six Soul Fear Curse!"
Xiaoyaozi's hand stroking his beard paused, and his white eyebrows were raised high with an incredible expression. He immediately calmed down his emotions, but still asked with doubts:
"Is this...true?"
"It's true." Gai Nie nodded calmly.
"Tsk... I was hit by the Eight Curses of Yin Veins and the Eight Curses of Yang Veins at the same time..." Xiaoyaozi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Little friend Tianming, this is unprecedented."
"However, perhaps it is precisely because of being exposed to these two completely opposite spells at the same time that it is possible to balance the forces in Tianming's body."
The leader of the Renzong was actually the leader of the Renzong, and he immediately made a guess that was very close to reality.
Gai Nie said, "I'll call Tianming."
Xiaoyaozi raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry."
"Isn't he still practicing swordsmanship? Let's wait until he is fine."
"I'm here today mainly to discuss with you the matter of Mount Tai's enshrinement."
Master Ban and the others looked at each other, and finally Gao Jianli responded, "We have discussed this matter before, but there seems to be no suitable entry point for the crisis facing Confucianism."
"Mr. Xiaoyao, do you have any clues?"
Xiaoyaozi's expression remained unchanged and he replied calmly, "The Confucian family's trouble is indeed difficult to deal with. Their situation is far more complicated than that of the peasant family, and the threats they face are not as intuitive as the peasant family."
"I have no way."
"But what I want to say is not the crisis of Confucianism, but the matter of Zen Buddhism itself."
His old but sharp eyes swept across the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Is it difficult for you not to think that this is an excellent opportunity?"
The faces of Master Ban and others changed one after another, and immediately turned serious.
Of course they also had this idea, so when Xiaoyaozi mentioned it, they all understood what the other party meant.
Although the ceremony of enshrining Zen is important, it has little to do with either Mohism or Taoism.
Therefore, the opportunity Xiaoyaozi mentioned can only be one thing - assassinate Ying Zheng.
This is an excellent opportunity for any anti-Qin force.
