Master Ban had no objection to this, and nodded and replied, "This is natural. The matter needs to be handled by the farm brothers. Of course Hall Master Zhu has the right to know."
Just when he was about to continue talking, Zhang Liang came.
"Sorry, everyone, Liang is late."
When Liu Ji arrived, Master Ban specifically informed Zhang Liang, but he arrived late for some reason.
Master Ban didn't wait for him, and started chatting with Liu Ji directly.
"Come, come and sit down, Zifang, I'm going to talk about the important point." Master Ban didn't pay too much attention to Zhang Liang's lateness. He was not an idle person. He also had something to do in Xiaoshengxian Village, so it was normal for him to be delayed.
Pirate Zhi asked curiously from the side, "Is there anything delaying the little Shengxian Manor?"
"I went to meet someone." Zhang Liang replied as he walked over and sat down.
Master Ben was stunned when he heard this answer, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you meeting?"
"Weizhuang." Zhang Liang replied calmly.
As soon as this answer came out, the expressions of Master Ban and others changed slightly.
Liu Ji was also a little stunned for a moment, "Weizhuang...that one from Guigu? Has he really become an ally of the Mo family?"
Although he had heard about the leader of the Counter-Liquid Sand Killer Group, Guigu Hengjian Wei Zhuang and the Mo family had reached a cooperation before, and he had also seen Guigu Zongheng join forces in Daze Mountain, but he, or most people, knew that
From the perspective of people in this situation, this is just a temporary alliance between the brothers and sisters of the Guigu sect.
As for the Mohists, at most they were forced to hold their noses and tolerate it, or they pretended to ignore the cooperation between Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.
First, the Mohist family needed more power, and Wei Zhuang's help to Gai Nie was equivalent to helping the Mohist family.
Secondly, Gai Nie did not join the Mohist family, and he could not let anyone else judge him when he joined forces with his junior brother.
But if the Mo family and Wei Zhuang have a deeper connection or cooperation, it would be a bit confusing.
The fall of the Mohist headquarters, the organ city, and the death of the previous tycoon, Prince Yan, were all inseparable from Wei Zhuang.
Zhang Liang didn't answer. Instead, Big Iron Hammer excitedly replied, "He is not an ally of the Mo family!"
Zhang Liang then explained, "Brother Liu Ji, don't get me wrong. It's just that Wei Zhuang and I have some personal connections. I have asked him for help before... that time in Daze Mountain."
"Oh, oh!" Liu Ji nodded repeatedly with a look of surprise, but he was mumbling more and more in his heart.
Zhang Liang and Wei Zhuang have a personal relationship, so can they be trusted?
The Mo family should not play tricks on such an important matter...
At the critical moment of the implementation of the Qinglong Plan, the Mohists will certainly not turn a blind eye to these risks and loopholes.
Both Zhang Liang and Wei Zhuang have personal relationships with Gu Xun. Master Ban and the others trust Zhang Liang but not Wei Zhuang.
If any information leaks from him, it will be very bad.
Master Ban didn’t shy away from it either. He asked straightforwardly and frankly:
"Zifang, why are you looking for Wei Zhuang at this time?"
Zhang Liang was unhurried and replied with a smile, "Of course I went to negotiate another deal with him."
"Ni Liusha collects money to do things. Since I can hire him once, I can hire him a second time."
"The Qinglong Project is about to be launched. Mr. Xiaoyaozi of the Renzong was tripped up by the Sword of Heaven and Man. I guess there is not enough manpower, right?"
Zhang Liang's words were very clear - the Qinglong Project definitely needed manpower, so I went to hire someone who was powerful enough to help.
Speaking of which, he was doing the Mo family a favor.
An expert of Wei Zhuang's level cannot be hired casually. Zhang Liang even paid for it out of his own pocket.
But the Mo family really doesn't want to accept this favor now.
Robber Zhi said bluntly, "We can't find him even if we don't have enough manpower!"
"The risk of exposure is too great and not worth it."
Zhang Liang did not rush to refute, but looked at Master Ban.
Master Ban’s attitude was similar to that of Robber Zhi, but his words were not so straightforward:
"Wei Zhuang is naturally a help that cannot be ignored, but after all, he has deep connections with the empire. Old man, I think it is better to be on the safe side."
In order to achieve his goal and to gather as much power as possible, Master Ban can accept the temporary alliance with Wei Zhuang
"He can be trusted regarding the Qinglong Project." Zhang Liang gave his attitude on this.
But his empty words cannot convince anyone.
Tao Zhi crossed his arms and replied with a smile, "Zifang, we can't believe this kind of thing just because you say you can believe it."
"He is too close to that national preceptor, we cannot take risks."
Zhang Liang smiled, suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What is the Mohist family's attitude toward the empire?"
Sledgehammer couldn't help but replied first, "Of course we want to completely overthrow the empire and save the people of the world from Ying Zheng's tyranny!"
Zhang Liang did not respond to the big hammer, and glanced at everyone in the Mo family one by one, and then asked, "Do you have the same attitude towards the empire?"
Master Ben and the others nodded.
Zhang Liang asked again, "It has always been like this, and it has never changed?"
Someone showed hesitation.
Tracing back the grudges between the Mohist family and the empire, it is a long history, almost twenty years at least.
The attitude of the vast majority of them towards the imperial court and Ying Zheng has naturally changed.
Of course, the ones like Sledgehammer are always firm.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Liang smiled and said, "You are all members of the Mohist sect, and what you practice is also the philosophy of the sage Mo Zhai, the founder of your sect. Even so, it is not the same idea from beginning to end."
Master Ban did not shy away from this and replied, "Gentlemen are harmonious but different. Isn't this exactly what Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, said?"
"Any questions?"
The human heart is like water. Without the force of the surging water, it would be impossible for it to flow in the same direction.
As long as it doesn't get into a situation where the villains agree but don't agree with each other, Master Ben doesn't think there is any problem.
Zhang Liang was naturally not criticizing Mohists. He continued what he said before, "That's not what Liang meant."
"What I want to say is that Liusha, like Mohism, is a whole, but different individuals within this whole may not necessarily have the same demands."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Speaking of this, everyone finally understood what Zhang Liang meant - except for the big hammer.
Gu Xun wants to protect Yingzheng, but that doesn't mean everyone in Quicksand wants to protect Yingzheng.
Zhang Liang had almost made it clear that there was harmony but no difference within Quicksand, but Master Ban and the others actually believed it in their hearts.
But still no one relented.
There is a difference between being credible and being credible enough.
The most important thing is that the Qinglong Project is still in the preparation stage. The Mo family will definitely be short of manpower in the future, but there is no need to worry now.
Things will get better as time goes by, and they can take another look.
"Zifang, we definitely can't give you a definite answer to Wei Zhuang's question at the moment." After pondering for a while, Master Ban said slowly, "Let's wait and see."
Zhang Liang did not object and smiled warmly, "I am just making a suggestion on this matter. The specific decision is naturally up to you, so there is no need to rush."
Liu Ji was like a transparent person, trying his best to reduce his sense of presence and watching everything silently, but he was thinking about Zhang Liang's words in his heart.
Information about the interior of Quicksand is a rarity, rarely circulated in the world.
I have long heard that Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, the third master of the Little Sage Zhuang and one of the Three Heroes of Qilu, are related to Liusha. I did not expect that this relationship is deeper than the rumors.
Judging from the other party's tone, I'm afraid his relationship with Gu Xun, the leader of Quicksand, is very unusual.
I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected harvest today!
Master Ben shook his machine beast and brought the topic back to what he wanted to talk about in the first place:
"Okay, let's get back to the topic, let's talk about the Qinglong Project."
"The Zhu family hall master hopes to know more about the Qinglong Project. Zifang, you just want to listen and make suggestions."
Zhang Liang smiled and replied humbly, "Then I'll take the liberty."
………………
When Master Ban and the others discussed the Qinglong Project in detail, Gai Nie did not participate.
Regarding yet another plan to assassinate Ying Zheng, Ge Nie's attitude was undoubtedly vague and even embarrassing.
The last time he assassinated Ying Zheng, he still stood with the empire and stopped the assassin.
This time, he stood on the opposite side of the empire and was the one who assisted in the assassination.
Even Gai Nie was quite emotional about this.
Fortunately, the Juggernaut has never been a person who likes internal friction, so he only expresses emotion about his change of stance.
If he really wants to take action, he won't show mercy at all.
In Ge Nie's view, assassinating Ying Zheng was not a real solution to the problem, but he had to admit that once Ying Zheng died, many problems would turn around.
Ge Nie knew a little about Ying Zheng's physical condition, but not much. At least he had no idea that Ying Zheng had only a few years left to live.
Under this situation, Ge Nie also didn't think that surviving Ying Zheng to death was a good idea.
It was a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils, whether to kill or not to kill, which was less serious and which was more serious. Nie couldn't tell, so he simply didn't think about it.
Whatever the Mo family needed him to do, he just did it. He didn't bother to ask about the details of Qinglong's plan - of course, if he was assigned something that he really didn't want to do, he could refuse it.
The focus of Gai Nie's attention was now entirely on Tianming.
Regarding the Qinglong Project, Tianming's attitude is closer to that of Ge Nie, and he is not very enthusiastic about it, so he has not joined in the fun recently.
Most of his time these days is either practicing martial arts or sparring with Shao Yu.
At this time, he was practicing Guigu swordsmanship.
Guigu's martial arts has never been a secret that is not passed down, or in other words, everything in Guigu is a secret that is not passed down.
Therefore, Ge Nie can freely teach Guigu Breathing Technique and Guigu Swordsmanship to Tianming.
These two martial arts themselves are not exquisite and profound martial arts.
I won’t talk about Guigu Breathing Technique, it’s just a qi-moving internal skill with some characteristics.
Guigu swordsmanship, or vertical and horizontal swordsmanship, is not simple, but its specific performance is a bit like evil-fighting swordsmanship.
It's extremely powerful when used correctly, but if it doesn't work it's just a trick.
Of course, vertical and horizontal swordsmanship does not require a person to be in the palace, but requires the practitioner to truly control the vertical and horizontal game between each move.
It sounds simple, but the actual operation is not that simple.
The Guigu sect has been passed down for hundreds of years, and its disciples have been passed down from generation to generation. Among them, very few have reached the level of Gai Nie Weizhuang. Even if they are all proficient in vertical and horizontal games, whether they can flexibly apply them to sword moves is a question.
Another thing.
Gai Nie passed on the swordsmanship to Tianming, but he was not sure whether the child could really grasp the essence of it - whether he could practice Guigu swordsmanship well had nothing to do with martial arts talent.
Of course, what Gai Nie was concerned about was not the swordsmanship of Tianming Contact, but the content of his previous meeting with the woman in Sakura Prison.
He hasn't told anyone about it yet because he's still hesitant.
His exchange with the woman was brief.
The other party seemed to have expected that someone would come to her about Tianming...but she was still a little surprised that it was Ganie, the sword master, who came.
As for the method to save Tianming that Gai Nie wanted to know, she also explained it very simply - the method was very simple, let Tianming board the ship before the mirage set sail, and then leave the mainland with him.
In other words, this means that Tianming will participate in this overseas journey to find immortals planned and initiated by the Yin and Yang family.
As a descendant of Guigu, Gai Nie is a master of the art of language, but few people really need him to speak, so he is always taciturn - Wei Zhuang is similar.
Genie, who is proficient in decision-making, good at judgment, and good at controlling people's hearts, did not find any signs of anything wrong with that woman.
The other party was completely convinced that this was the only way he could save Tianming.
This may be true, or it may be false. What Gai Nie is completely sure of is that even if the other party has lied to him, he will not be able to expose it, let alone get more information.
In this case, Genie could only temporarily accept the other party's statement.
But the solution she gave was unacceptable to Genie.
You can't climb the mirage at dawn. This is something Gu Xundu specifically mentioned. Naturally, Gai Nie didn't dare to take the risk.
Besides, the thing itself sounds dangerous enough.
There are so many calculations and conspiracies hidden behind the mirage that even Gai Nie can't even get a glimpse of it. Tianming's strength may have been significantly enhanced now, but whether he can move around on the mirage is undoubtedly unknown.
Moreover, Ge Nie also knew that the empire, or the Yin Yang family, was particularly interested in Tian Ming. If Tian Ming took the initiative to come to his door, it was hard to say that he would not be trapped in a cocoon.
What troubles Genie the most is that he, a master of language, can't say anything at this time.
The decision of whether to board the mirage should be made by Tianming himself.
Genie can help him analyze the pros and cons, but cannot make decisions for him without his knowledge.
But Gai Nie didn't dare to tell Tian Ming everything.
Tianming's mind is now almost clearer than ever before, and he is far less impulsive and irritable than before.
But if he were to know these things, Genie was 100% sure that he would definitely board the ship regardless of any dissuasion.
By then it will be flooded and difficult to recover.
Genie cannot act rashly and let the situation get out of hand.
To truly and properly solve this problem, he must find someone else to talk to.
………………
More than an hour later, after a lot of communication, Master Ban finally told Liu Ji everything that should be told to the farmer, what could be told to the farmer, and everything about the Qinglong Project.
Next we have to wait for a reply from the Zhu family.
After Liu Ji left in a hurry, Master Ban took a few sips from the water glass to soothe his dry throat.
After coughing twice and clearing his throat, Master Ben looked at everyone present.
Liu Ji left, but basically no one in this circle had any intention of leaving.
Within the farmhouse, the Zhu family wants to discuss with Xiakui how to cooperate with the Mo family.
The same is true for the Mohist family, they also need to discuss the matters on the farm side.
