Xiaoyaozi's words made Daozhi and the others widen their eyes.
Bei Mingzi, a master of the previous generation of Taoist Tianzong, is one of the few living legends in the eyes of people in the world.
In terms of generation, Bei Mingzi is unique in today's world, or among hundreds of scholars today.
Of course, except for Confucianism, no sect cares about seniority. What really deserves people's attention is only strength.
And Bei Mingzi happened to be one of the most outstanding people of his generation... maybe even one of them.
Before Bei Mingzi completely retired to practice, he was already one of the strongest masters in the world, maybe even the number one.
But now, he has disappeared from the eyes of the world for decades, and no one knows how strong he is now.
Although if considered rationally, Bei Mingzi, who is already old and decaying, will most likely decline in strength instead of increasing, but a legend is a legend after all, and his name naturally carries a shocking power that makes people unable to view it purely rationally.
Xiaoyaozi said that Xiaomeng may have surpassed Bei Mingzi... Even if he only had attainments in the mental method of "Heguang Tongchen", it would be enough to cause an uproar in the world.
Master Ban and others believe that Xiaoyaozi is not exaggerating or alarmist, but it is indeed difficult for them to accept it.
"Is... is it such an exaggeration?" Thieves Zhi carefully wiped away the faint cold sweat on his forehead and said with a dry smile.
Seeing this, Xiaoyaozi stopped talking about this topic and changed his words to remind, "Anyway, if you bump into my junior sister, you should avoid it if you can. Her harmony with light and dust... is very tricky."
"Mr. Xiaoyao, you can't handle it either?" Master Ban asked curiously.
Xiaoyaozi shook his head, "No."
Then he emphasized again, "You must be careful!"
Master Ben and others nodded, indicating that they had remembered it.
They are not people who like to show off, and Xiaoyaozi treats them so seriously, which is enough to explain the problem, and naturally they are not ignorant.
Listen to people's advice and eat enough.
"Let's talk about the Qinglong Project. Is there anything I can do to help?" Xiaoyaozi then changed the topic to the Qinglong Project.
Master Ban and others did not hide anything, and cooperated with each other to tell Xiaoyaozi everything about the Qinglong Project that happened during this period.
After hearing this, Xiaoyaozi frowned slightly and said bluntly, "Are you sure that the group of people suspected of being related to Lord Changping are reliable?"
There is nothing wrong with the Qinglong Plan itself. It is just about whether it will be executed smoothly and whether it will be successful.
And this is beyond their control, they can only do their best to obey fate.
But the group of informants who claimed to be the remnants of Lord Changping were the only possible flaw or omission in the entire plan.
Master Ban stroked his beard and smiled bitterly and replied, "To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. At present, we judge that they may not be reliable, but they can be used."
"It's worth a use..." Xiaoyaozi probably knew it in his heart.
The evaluation given by Master Ban can be said to be very reluctant, indicating that the group of people are not the same as them, and are only temporarily cooperating... It is hard to say how many tricks are hidden in this cooperation.
"It seems you need to be more careful." Xiaoyaozi said with a smile.
Master Ben and others nodded in agreement, "Of course."
"In the past few days, we have also traced the source of their intelligence."
"Anything found?"
"If nothing else, he is one of Ying Zheng's close servants, a very favored one." Master Ban simply answered.
Knowing that there are internal problems within the Dongxun Tour Team, it is not difficult to find out where the problems lie.
The specific location of Ying Zheng is also highly confidential to the Dongxun Team. The number of people in the entire team who can grasp this information in real time is definitely no more than ten people, or even no more than five people.
Moreover, these insiders are basically the emperor's close servants and important ministers of the outer court. Even Prime Minister Li Si most likely does not know about it.
Investigating this kind of thing is like drawing a bull's-eye on a bullet hole, it's really not that difficult.
"The emperor's personal attendant...can such a person be incited to rebel?" Xiaoyaozi was quite surprised after hearing this.
As we all know, the most trusted and respected internal minister of Yingzheng was Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC.
But Zhao Gao was not the only favored chamberlain.
This is not because he does not want to monopolize the emperor's favor, but because he simply cannot do it.
Unless he can learn the art of clones and exist in multiple selves at the same time, he will definitely not be able to take care of it... even if he can go twelve hours a day without resting at all.
The emperor always needs someone to serve him. If Zhao Gao cannot meet this demand, someone else will naturally take over.
However, the other favored servants basically followed Zhao Gao's lead and did not dare to go too far - this was just an appearance, what they were thinking in their hearts was another matter.
No matter what attitude these close servants had towards Zhao Gao, it stands to reason that they should be completely loyal to the emperor. After all, all their power and interests came from the emperor's cover, and there was no reason or motive for betrayal.
Master Ben shrugged, smiled, and added, "Logically speaking, no, but who can say clearly about the human heart?"
"Besides, if this was arranged by Lord Changping before his death, maybe he was the one who placed him next to Ying Zheng."
"I was never a Yingzheng person from the beginning, so I can't talk about being incited or betrayed."
Xiaoyaozi smiled when he heard this, "That's right."
What kind of person is Mr. Changping?
He is a person who can plan an assassination operation with others and prepare for it more than ten years in advance.
If such a person had the intention to place an informant around Ying Zheng, he would never choose a ready-made one to instigate rebellion. He would definitely spend time and energy cultivating one...even if it would take several years.
"How's it going over there at the farm?" Xiaoyaozi turned to ask about the other partner of the Qinglong Project.
"The farmer... is sincere this time, and Mr. Gai also trusts their new hero, so we don't think there is any problem." Master Ban replied simply.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This time, his attitude was completely different from when he talked about the group of people suspected of being the remnants of Changping Jun, so Xiaoyaozi naturally understood immediately.
Xiaoyaozi actually didn't trust the farmer very much, but he didn't raise any objection at this time.
The Qinglong Plan is the Qinglong Plan of the Mohist family.
The farmer's family is one of the co-partners of the Qinglong Project, but Renzong is not.
When Xiaoyaozi came to help, it was more in his personal capacity rather than in the name of Renzong.
So no matter what ideas I have, Xiaoyaozi will only stop there.
"In this way, the rest is to implement it." Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard, looked at everyone and asked, "Are there enough manpower for the main attack?"
With the help of farmers, the auxiliary attackers responsible for attracting attention and creating chaos will definitely have enough manpower, but the main attacker also needs other manpower - real masters.
According to what Master Ban and others said, the peasant family will not provide any additional help. It is suspected that the remaining members of Changping Jun are only responsible for providing intelligence, so the main attack manpower can only be from the Moh family.
Xue Nu, Gao Jianli, Big Iron Hammer, Robber Zhi, plus the two foreign aids Gai Nie and Xiaoyaozi himself.
In the operation to assassinate Ying Zheng, these were the only people the Mo family could dispatch.
This lineup cannot be said to be luxurious, after all, the leader of the Renzong and the Guigu Zongjian.
But if just a few of them went to assassinate Ying Zheng, I'm afraid they would be somewhat powerless.
Different from the Yishan assassination, this time they wanted to kill Ying Zheng in the heavily protected East Patrol convoy!
This lineup is definitely a bit forced.
Upon hearing this, Master Ban showed a very confident smile, "Mr. Xiaoyao, don't worry about the manpower issue. We have made complete preparations."
Xiaoyaozi showed a puzzled expression.
According to Xiaoyaozi, there is certainly a way to solve the problem of shortage of manpower. The most direct and simple way is to continue to find foreign aid.
The world is so big and there are so many sects and forces. It is not easy to say that it is easy or difficult to find more foreign aid willing to assassinate Ying Zheng.
But I haven’t heard that the Mo family has contacted other sects recently...
Was it a secret communication?
Master Ban saw Xiaoyaozi's doubts, but did not explain more, just added:
"Mr. Xiaoyao will know when the time comes."
"Old man, I can only tell you now that manpower is not a problem."
Xiaoyaozi became more and more confused.
Listening to Master Ban's words, it seems that he is very confident in the manpower prepared by the Mohist family.
But is it possible that there is a foolproof lineup to assassinate Ying Zheng?
You can't fool the imperial master to their side, right?
Xiaoyaozi really wanted to know the answer, but unfortunately Master Ban really had no intention of explaining more, so he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being.
Anyway, you will know sooner or later.
………………
Outside Songhai Port, on a mirage boat.
Luna dragged her long skirt, walked through the corridor, and walked to the deck. Just as she was about to walk to another place, her embroidered eyebrows under the gauze suddenly frowned, and then she turned around and walked to the deck.
A remote corner of.
Another figure has been here for a long time, leaning on the railing, overlooking the sea and sky to the east.
"The Imperial Master has boarded the ship, have you given any orders?" Walking to Gu Xun's side, Yue Shen also looked to the east and took the initiative to ask in a neutral tone.
Gu Xun raised his hand and replied with a smile, "I didn't give you any orders, but I just came to see how the things the Moon God Protector promised me went."
Luna snorted coldly and asked with a hint of ridicule, "Do you think, Imperial Master, that woman is easy to deal with?"
Gu Xun didn't care about her attitude and replied lightly, "There's no need to get excited, Moon God Protector, I'm just asking casually."
"The difficulty... Of course I understand it, but the Moon God Protector also has to understand my difficulty."
"The invincible Imperial Master will also have difficulties?" Yueshen replied in the same tone.
Gu Xun also replied calmly, "If I didn't have any difficulties, how could I make a deal with you?"
"Hmph!" Luna snorted with unknown meaning. After a moment of silence, she gave some specific answers, "She has been trying to communicate with the woman in Sakura Prison recently."
"This may be an opportunity to find out what her true purpose is... But this matter cannot be urgent. No matter how much you urge me, there is nothing you can do."
Gu Xun turned his head and took a deep look at the Moon God. He seemed to believe her words and replied calmly, "Of course I know the principle of haste makes waste. I just hope that the Moon God Protector will not waste time and delay the business."
"I don't have to worry about it now, Imperial Master." Luna replied without any politeness.
Gu Xun just smiled at this and didn't care about it. He turned to ask, "Has the man in Ying Prison spoken recently?"
"Perhaps, I'm not completely sure." Luna replied vaguely, "She has been avoiding me. It's very troublesome to spy on her whereabouts. She was especially well hidden when she went to see the woman in Sakura Prison."
Gu Xun laughed a few more times, "Your answers make it even more difficult for me to believe that you can beat your sister."
Luna didn't bother to retort that Concubine Yan was not her sister. She just curled her lips in mock disdain and replied, "That's my business."
"If you think I am incompetent...could it be that the Imperial Master has some great ideas?"
Gu Xun turned his head, looked at Luna with a smile, and suddenly asked, "Such an aggressive tone does not suit your character...Are you trying to hide something deliberately?"
Luna's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained as usual. She also turned her head and looked at Gu Xun through the gauze, and calmly replied, "Before talking about others, the Imperial Master might as well take a look at himself."
"The Imperial Master is also very abnormal today...are you trying to cover up or mislead something?"
Gu Xun chuckled lightly, turned back to look at the sea and sky line of the Far East Seascape, and then replied:
"I'm just thinking about a question."
"What's the problem?" Luna asked habitually.
Gu Xun didn't pay attention and replied in an increasingly calm tone, "What is on the other side of the sea...?"
"What kind of problem is this?" Luna's eyes flickered, turned to the east, and replied calmly.
"Why is this not a problem?" Gu Xun asked calmly, crossing his arms.
"You Yin Yang family are so keen on tricking the emperor into helping you build ships to go to sea. Don't you know what is to the east of the East China Sea?"
Moon God calmly replied, "According to Yun Zhongjun's theory, on the other side of the sea is the fairy mountain."
"Fairy Mountain?" This answer made Gu Xun couldn't help laughing, "I really want to know, does Yun Zhongjun believe his own lies?"
"The Imperial Master is so contemptuous of this. Could it be that he knows the answer?" Yueshen did not answer Gu Xun's words and instead asked him a question.
"Me? Of course I don't know." Gu Xun raised his hand and patted the railing, and said with a smile, "It seems that the answer to this question requires you to go to sea to verify it yourself."
"The Imperial Master would like to know the answer to this question?" Luna asked tentatively.
"Who doesn't want to know the secrets hidden deep in the vast ocean?" Gu Xun spread his hands, not hiding his thoughts, "I just don't know if you can find the answer."
"Does the Imperial Master want us to find him, or does he want us not to find him?" Moon God asked again.
Gu Xun glanced sideways at her and asked with a smile, "What about you? Do you want to find it?"
Luna did not answer directly, but replied lightly, "Why should the Imperial Master ask questions knowingly?"
The Yin and Yang family spent so much effort and persuaded Ying Zheng to build such a big ship just for the sake of enjoying the sea.
