Time passed day by day, and all the anti-Qin forces around Yishan were frantically searching for Gu Xun's location in the past two days.
Unfortunately, no one can find out the specific location of Gu Xun. They can only try to determine whether Gu Xun has arrived at Yishan.
And the answer to this question is no.
All the information gathered by various forces through various means showed that Gu Xun was not there.
Although I am very afraid of Gu Xun, the national master, since I have taken all available means to verify his absence, there is no need to be timid.
The opportunity must not be missed and never come again. If they don't take action now, they will be even more afraid of Gu Xun's existence when Mount Tai is granted the title of Zen.
So various forces began to contact the Tian family one after another, intending to join the other party's joint assassination operation.
Since a lot of time was spent on gathering intelligence, there was not much time left for these anti-Qin forces.
They still need to discuss the details of the joint assassination in detail, and time is very tight.
The same is true for the Mohists, they must make a decision as soon as possible.
"If I don't think it's possible, just join first." Pirate Zhi clapped his hands and shouted, "If there is a problem with the plan, we can treat it passively if he is not allowed to withdraw."
"For example, if you send me to participate alone, how come I can't run across a hill as big as a palm with my legs?"
Master Ban shook his head solemnly, "This is not only your safety and mine, but it may also involve Confucianism. It's not something to be trifled with."
"How could the Confucians be involved in our assassination of Ying Zheng? They were not involved!" Pirates Zhi muttered unhappily.
Xiaoyaozi suddenly stroked his beard and smiled, "I feel like I'm back in Daze Mountain again. It's a very similar situation!"
"Similar? How are they similar?" Thieves Zhi asked confusedly.
Ge Nie explained kindly, "In Daze Mountain, a group of people are robbing something. The same is true in Yishan."
The difference is that the former grabs the position of the peasant hero, while the latter grabs Ying Zheng's head.
Robber Zhi is not stupid either. He immediately understood what Gai Nie said, but he still didn't understand:
"This is different too."
"The peasant family is fighting among themselves for the position of the hero, and now we are obviously joining forces to assassinate Ying Zheng!"
"The peasant family had no external enemies at that time, so it fell into internal fighting. But now all the anti-Qin forces have a clear goal, so they are unanimous in attacking the outside world."
Gai Nie further explained, "But in essence, both the farmers at that time and the anti-Qin forces today are just fish in the pond who saw the bait."
Master Ban also didn't quite understand what Gai Nie and Xiaoyaozi meant, "Even so, where is the danger? Is it the risk of assassinating Ying Zheng?"
Gai Nie shook his head and replied with solemn eyes, "A risk is just a risk, not a danger."
"The real danger is not coming towards us."
Xiaoyaozi added from the side, "Zhao Gao's goal should be Confucianism from beginning to end... He is definitely a qualified hunter and does not intend to blindly create extraneous problems."
"The danger of going towards Confucianism..." Master Ban repeated these words, still not understanding everything.
Pirate Zhi urged impatiently, "Mr. Gai, Master Xiaoyao, just talk to me. I'm worried."
"Similar to Daze Mountain, in the Yishan game, Zhao Gao still used a conspiracy that was close to a conspiracy." Xiaoyaozi and Gai Nie looked at each other, smiled, stopped trying to be pretentious, and explained bluntly.
"A chivalrous man uses force to break the law. This is the sin of the peasant family."
"But Confucians are not farmers and will never touch this sin."
"Confucianism is the fault of Confucianism."
Gai Nie followed Xiaoyaozi's words and continued, "Since the Feng Chan incident took off, Confucianism has been at the forefront of the storm."
"They enjoy the most attention in the world, and they also attract the most undesirable annoyance - Ying Zheng's annoyance."
"Ying Zheng is only temporarily tolerant of the many outdated thoughts and concepts of Confucianism, just for the time being."
"The matter of Feng Chan has fermented to the point where it is so popular today." Xiaoyaozi took over and continued, "This shows that Ying Zheng attaches great importance to it."
"If the Yishan Ceremony, which is the beginning of the enshrinement of Zen, encounters changes, how do you think he will feel?"
Faced with Xiaoyaozi's question, Daozhi scratched his head and replied, "Going into a rage?"
"Maybe." Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and smiled, nodding slightly and replied, "In any case, he must be very angry."
"Where do you think Ying Zheng's anger will eventually be directed?"
"Confucianism?" Taizhi dragged out a long sound and gave the answer, but it was obvious that he didn't understand the answer very well and was just confused.
"The law does not punish the public, and in the face of a group of rebels, how can Ying Zheng spread anger?" Xiaoyaozi nodded and said with a smile.
Ying Zheng had already been angry with these anti-Qin forces eight hundred years ago. If he wanted to express his anger now, it would be best to choose a new target.
Confucianism just hit his target.
Of course, if Ying Zheng was not an emotional person, none of this would have happened.
However, Ying Zheng is a highly emotional person.
Although sometimes he would exercise restraint, Confucianism... just wasn't qualified enough for him to exercise restraint.
"Zhao Gao may not have laid any traps in Yishan, but just... made the Tian family think they had an excellent opportunity."
"This is a situation that only Zhao Gao can set up. Only he... can accurately control Ying Zheng's emotions." Gai Nie added lightly.
"Then give up the assassination? Let's make it clear to the Tian clan. They won't be upset, right?" Bandit Zhi spread his hands and said.
"Have the peasants ever given up on competing for the title of hero?" Xiaoyaozi asked, stroking his beard.
"Isn't this different..." Thief Zhi scratched his head.
"There is no difference. The temptation of Ying Zheng's life to the anti-Qin forces is no less than that of the knight leader to the peasant disciples." Gai Nie responded calmly, "Besides, it is the Confucians who bear the consequences."
Using the reason that Confucianism may suffer serious consequences to persuade those who are bent on assassinating Ying Zheng to give up their actions will only make others laugh out loud.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Who cares whether Confucianism dies or not?
Confucianism is not the same as them.
In fact, if they were not concerned about the relationship between Zhang Liang and Xiaoshengxianzhuang, the Mohists might not be willing to meddle in Confucian affairs.
Our relationship was not good to begin with.
"Then...then what should we do?" Neither joining nor giving up was an option. Thief Zhi was completely defeated and asked with his head hanging down.
Master Ban also looked at Gai Nie and Xiaoyaozi with a headache, "What do you two think?"
Gai Nie and Xiaoyaozi looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
When we were in Daze Mountain, as long as one of the six farmhouse halls was dishonest, civil strife in the farmhouse would be inevitable.
It's the same now, with so many anti-Qin forces gathering together, as long as they don't all give up, there's a high probability that assassinations will still happen.
It doesn't seem to make any difference whether they participate or not.
Neither of them could give any suggestions and could only let Master Ben make his own decision.
Xue Nu raised a question at this time, "Can this level of arrangement really kill Confucianism?"
Ge Nie replied in a deep voice, "Maybe not, but this is just the beginning."
The situation in Daze Mountain revolves around the Yinghuo Stone and is limited to a limited time.
But no one can say how long Zhao Gao's game against the Confucians will last.
Xue Nu was silent for a moment, then looked at Master Ban, "Then please contact the Tian family."
"Since it's destined to happen, we can't be ignorant."
"That's right." Master Ben let out a sigh of relief, nodded, and approved Xue Nu's decision, then looked at Zhi Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, then you can make another trip."
"Find out the Tian family's plan and what we need to do."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Robber Zhi made a gesture, and then left the house in a hurry.
The four remaining people in the room looked at each other and fell into silence, with different moods.
Xue Nu and Master Ben felt a little aggrieved, and found themselves in a dilemma for no apparent reason. It seemed that they had traveled all the way just to be a knife for others.
Xiaoyaozi only felt that it was a pity. If Zhao Gao had deliberately promoted this assassination, the chance of success would be low.
Gai Nie... had no trouble in his heart.
Ge Nie really doesn't care whether Ying Zheng dies or not.
He lives to hold on to the empire and hold it together for the time being, but he is only holding on to it.
When he died, it was nothing more than causing a rotten piece of wood to completely shatter.
Of course, the more important thing is that Ge Nie really does not think that Ying Zheng will be assassinated... Although his security problem is not optimistic, he has been assassinated not once or twice.
But there is no need to emphasize these ideas to the Mohists.
Anyway... although the success rate of assassinating Ying Zheng is not high, the risk seems to be about the same.
It's not like Jing Ke's assassination attempt with no return. Even if he fails, he still has a chance to escape.
………………
Jiaodong County, the hideout of the Xiang clan outside Songhai City.
"Shao Yu, have you made up your mind?" Xiang Liang stood in front of Shao Yu and asked seriously.
Shaoyu nodded heavily, "Yes!"
"I think this is the most appropriate arrangement."
Xiang Liang turned his head and looked at Fan Zeng beside him. He also made up his mind and turned around to respond:
"In that case, let's follow your arrangement!"
"Let Ji Buyingbu gather the old troops, and let Long Qie take people to the Jianghuai area to gather the Chu people. We will accompany you to stay in Songhai for the funeral."
Just as Long Qie and the others discussed before, dividing troops has advantages and disadvantages.
In Xiang Liang's view, this matter is between two options, feasible or not.
As for Fan Zeng, he simply supported Shao Yu.
If we don't take risks, we don't know how many years and months it will take for the Xiang family to accumulate enough strength to regain power.
So the two agreed to Shao Yu's suggestion, or Long Qie's suggestion.
Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a positive reply and smiled.
He had not known before whether Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng would support this proposal, so he was worried about rejection as he already had an inclination in his mind.
After finishing the business, Xiang Liang asked with concern, "Shaoyu, are you feeling well?"
"Very good." Shaoyu subconsciously clenched his fists to show off his strength, and replied with a smile, "I am now better than ever. My physical fitness is much stronger than before, and even my eyesight has improved.
few."
Fan Zeng stroked his white beard and chuckled, "It seems that the trip to the mirage is both a danger and an opportunity for you. It can also be a blessing in disguise."
"Hehe, it's not easy either." Shao Yu scratched his head and replied with a silly smile.
He was forced to take so many ghost-controlling pills, and with the addition of a real-person pill mixed in, the potency of the medicine almost killed him.
That kind of pain... To be honest, even if there are many benefits, Shao Yu doesn't feel like experiencing it for the second time.
"Is there any new news from the mirage?" Shao Yu asked in passing when the mirage was mentioned.
Xiang Liang shook his head, "I don't have any clue at the moment."
"The situation on the mirage is becoming more and more mysterious, and communication with the outside world is getting less and less. It is no longer possible to obtain information from the outside."
"Then we still have to board the ship..." Shao Yu touched his chin and muttered.
Fan Zeng stroked his beard and said, "Over at the Mo family, Commander Gao is already preparing corresponding plans."
"I think it's best for me, Tianming and Shi Lan to get involved in this matter. We are the most familiar with mirages." Shao Yu couldn't help but say something.
Fan Zeng replied, "I definitely want to ask for your opinions, but I don't think about the specific actions for now."
"Shaoyu, safety comes first!"
"I understand, understand." Shao Yu nodded repeatedly and did not argue with Fan Zeng.
………………
On the other side, inside the Mohist stronghold.
Gao Jianli is studying the problem of climbing on mirages.
The first problem they had to face when boarding the ship was the same as when Tianming and the others wanted to get off the ship, which was how to get on (and off) the ship.
The mirage is docked at Songhai Port, but it is actually more than one mile away from the port, and only the special gangway serves as the passage.
It's obviously difficult for them to use that channel.
Putting aside this normal approach, the simplest and crudest way is to swim over.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It would be easy for them to jump off the ship at dawn and smash themselves to death on the water, but boarding the ship from the water is not that difficult.
This solution is feasible, but it is obviously not a good way.
The third way is also very simple - fly over.
Although Bai Feng will not provide them with flying support now, it doesn't matter, the Mo family still has the mechanism Suzaku.
This thing may be troublesome when returning, but it is very convenient if you just go there.
Although Master Ban is not here, the impact is not big. The Mo family does not lack mechanical technicians, and they will just transfer another one.
For now, if no special circumstances occur, Gao Jianli has basically decided to fly over.
I have to say that it is much easier to board the ship than to get off the ship alone.
Now that the boarding problem is solved, the next question is what to do after boarding.
The answer to this question requires Tianming's full support.
"Tianming, can you still recall the specific directions of every place you visited on the ship?" Gao Jianli stared at Tianming and asked in a deep voice.
Tianming nodded with a relaxed expression, "Okay."
Although I didn't deliberately record the demerits at the time, I still had the impression. Now that my brain is better, I can easily integrate these scattered information to get the exact result.
Gao Jianli nodded calmly, "Okay, I need you to repeat it carefully. Their specific positions must be as accurate as possible. It's better to miss it than to make it wrong."
"No problem." Tian Ming waved his hand sharply, and then added, "But there are some places where I don't know how to get there, so I can't explain clearly."
"I remember the pharmacy, alchemy room, Yunxiao Pavilion, etc. very clearly, but I basically know nothing about the Sakura Prison and the space under the secret room of Yunxiao Pavilion."
Gao Jianli didn't pay attention and replied calmly, "It doesn't matter, just think back as much as you can."
