Gao Jianli nodded, obviously agreeing with Master Ban's opinion.
Catching the mole is very important, but the Qinglong Plan is the most important.
Therefore, their first priority is to ensure the smooth execution of the Qinglong Plan. If they have spare time, they will consider catching the mole.
"Let me try... Tianming's joining may be a good opportunity." Gao Jianli replied.
Master Ban's eyes lit up when he heard this, he clasped his hands and replied, "Yes, that guy from Tianming might be able to work."
For the Mohists, Tianming is absolutely their own unit, and there is no need to consider the issue of loyalty.
At the same time, he has an additional and unique attraction to the empire, Luo Sheng, the Yin Yang Family, and various forces.
Especially the emperor, who personally issued an order to capture him alive... although it was not an open order.
Once the two attributes are superimposed, Tianming becomes the best bait.
"However, we must also pay attention to Tianming's safety. Be careful in everything." After expressing his feelings about Tianming's usefulness, Master Ban did not forget to remind Gao Jianli not to take risks.
Tianming's life is also more important than catching the mole.
"Don't worry, I'll save you the trouble."
Although Gao Jianli is radical, he is not so high-minded that he really treats Tianming as expendable bait.
"Well...be careful with everything." Master Ben nodded, sighed, emphasized again, and then added, "I have been very confused recently."
"The plan that has been planned for more than ten years will definitely not fail." Gao Jianli heard this and reassured Master Ban, saying something that he did not quite believe.
The Qinglong Project has been in existence for more than ten years at most, but it cannot be said that it has been planned for more than ten years - since the death of Lord Changping and the disappearance of Xia Kui Tian Guang, the plan has basically been shelved.
There is no guarantee that any action against the emperor will succeed.
What Gao Jianli said was purely self-hypnosis.
But he doesn't say this entirely because he feels good about himself.
Although Gao Jianli was not sure of the success of this operation, he was confident that it would not be a complete failure.
If you can't bet on big success, it's not bad to have a big guarantee.
Master Ban looked up at the dark sky and sighed again, "Maybe I am just getting older. I feel like I can no longer understand the world."
"I hope the Mo family can continue to move forward safely."
"The Mohist family has lasted for hundreds of years. It was there in the past, it is here now, and it will always exist in the future!" Gao Jianli immediately responded firmly.
It's a pity that he didn't know that according to historical development, the Mohist family would begin to die out in less than a hundred years... although it would take many years before it was completely dead.
Master Ban didn't know the direction of history, but he was not as optimistic as Gao Jianli. He just smiled reluctantly and raised his hand to pat his shoulder:
"Let's go and have a rest early."
"I'll be very busy in the next few days."
………………
As the Eastern Patrol Team is about to arrive, the Qinglong Plan enters the final stage, and Tianming finally achieves his goal - he finally enters the Toad Palace.
Thief Zhi is indeed a master of the world of robbers and robbers. Infiltration is easy to say, but in his hands it is indeed an out-and-out skill.
If you want to reach the pinnacle of this path, your level of Qinggong must also reach the level of perfection.
However, there are only a few masters in the world who can reach this level. Therefore, for most people, there is no need to insist on improving the level of Qinggong in order to make some progress in sneaking.
Of course Tianming didn't have time to improve his Qinggong, so he relied on the stealth skills taught by Thief Zhi.
Before receiving the enlightenment from Master Tuozhi, Tianming thought that infiltration was not a skill at all, but just a crooked way.
After actually taking a few lessons, he seemed to have received a divine revelation from God.
How to quickly and accurately observe and absorb effective surrounding environmental information, how to accurately and patiently analyze the guard situation, how to summarize the information to formulate the most perfect infiltration route... These are all skills that must undergo specialized and professional training.
Only then can we easily adjust on-site according to real-time conditions.
Although the Tuozhi teaching is very complicated, fortunately, Tianming's brain is particularly good now. In just a few days, he accepted the knowledge of Tuozhi and learned this technique to the fullest.
eight.
Of course he is still far from the level of the King of Thieves, but he is confident that he can reach the level of the 'Grand Thief Master'.
In short, after enlightening the Tao once, rising to three levels in a row, and practicing at the guard post outside the Toad Palace, Tianming finally integrated the knowledge taught by Master Piozhi and perfectly sneaked into the Toad Palace.
Of course, he just thought it was a perfect infiltration, but actually quite a few people knew about it.
In the Toad Palace, Tianming carefully observed the surrounding environment and did not rush in.
Ganie had reminded him before that the Moon God might often live here. Later, when he asked Thief Zhi for advice on infiltration techniques, the other party also emphasized to him many times that he was pulled into the illusion as soon as he entered the Toad Palace.
Illusion is also a relatively unfamiliar topic to Tianming.
In fact, he had faced the Moon God's illusion, but he was in an unconscious state at that time and had no memory.
But even though he didn't have a specific idea, judging from what Thief Zhi described to him, it was indeed a very troublesome thing.
Tian Ming felt that he might not be able to deal with the weird illusions, so it was best to avoid the Moon God.
Tianming walked around the entrance corridor of Toad Palace carefully, tapping everywhere to make sure that he had not been attacked as soon as he came up.
If it weren't for the limited time, he would probably have to work on it for a while longer.
After confirming that there was no problem, Tianming walked cautiously towards the interior of Toad Palace.
At the same time, in a certain room in the Toad Palace, the Moon God was sitting quietly in front of a bronze mirror. The light on the mirror was still blurry, almost illusory and real.
The Moon God who noticed entering the Toad Palace at dawn had no intention of getting up and just looked at the mirror through the gauze.
In the central room of the Toad Palace, the girl in plain skirt seemed to never change her posture, her hands were swinging in the air, and the golden energy flowed around in the air, blending into the phantom sound treasure box in front of her.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As the true energy continues to blend in, the Phantom Sound Box continues to twist and change.
Weird and ever-changing tunes are played quietly as the twelve windows on the fifth floor change, constantly reminding the people around them what is meant by "thousands of devilish sounds" and what is meant by "five tunes that are not music".
Next to the Phantom Sound Treasure Box, a copper box exudes an imperceptible faint golden light.
But Tianming is still groping deep into the Toad Palace without knowing anything.
………………
On the other side, in the western part of Jiaodong County, the East Patrol Team.
The huge and long motorcade was still driving slowly on the official road, just like before.
In the center of the convoy, inside one of several identical six-horse carriages, Ying Zheng was taking a rare break.
For Ying Zheng, an ideal life should be to deal with government affairs for twelve hours a day and never take a break for twelve months and three hundred and sixty days a year.
This is not because he has a tendency to self-abuse, but because he enjoys this kind of life very much - he is extremely obsessed with the feeling of holding power in his own hands, and handling the government affairs of the empire, large and small, is what brings him the most pleasure.
It's a pity that manpower is sometimes scarce. No matter what he thinks, the reality is that he can work continuously for four or five hours a day, which is good.
Even so, sufficient rest time must be left, otherwise he will not be able to hold on.
At this time he was taking a break.
Zhao Gao then bowed and walked into the carriage, holding a tray in his hand and a large bowl on the tray.
This is a bowl of nourishing decoction. It is both medicine and food. It can be considered as a medicinal diet.
Although Gu Xun has told Ying Zheng many times that his body is not weak and he does not need to take supplements deliberately, he still uses this kind of nourishing medicinal food on weekdays.
There was no way, he felt that his energy was low, so he had to find a way to make up for it.
As for whether this supplement is useful or not, it doesn't matter. It's best if it works a little bit, but if it doesn't, it can be used as a stomach pad.
Zhao Gao respectfully came forward and offered the decoction:
"Your Majesty, please use it while it's hot."
Ying Zheng snorted lightly, said nothing, picked up the spoon and started drinking the soup.
According to the cook who cooked this soup, it is best to drink it while it is hot. The hotter it is, the better the effect... I wonder if his theory is based on the fact that food generally tastes best when it is hot.
As for whether this is actually the case...according to Gu Xun, it can be.
It's a placebo. Its effect depends entirely on justification by faith. Maybe it will have some effect.
Ying Zheng knew that Gu Xun's words meant something wrong, but since he didn't object, it meant it might still have some effect, so he tried to drink it while it was hot.
However, the temperature of this freshly brewed soup is about the same as that of boiling water. No matter how hot Ying Zheng is, his lips and mouth cannot escape the shackles of the mortal body. He really can't drink it quickly, so he can only drink it slowly, spoon by spoon.
Even so, in order to save time, Ying Zheng still tried to drink as fast as possible.
In fact, if Gu Xun hadn't previously advised him not to drink these things, but to drink them seriously and not just to save time, Ying Zheng would have chosen to let them cool down and then drink them in one gulp.
After all, he didn't have much hope for the efficacy.
After taking a few sips, Ying Zheng stopped temporarily, partly to ask Zhao Gao questions and partly to wait for the soup to cool down again.
"What happened to the people you sent to Songhai?"
Zhao Gao stood below with his hands clasped and his head bowed, and replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, they acted in accordance with the order and made no mistakes."
"Zhang Han didn't make things difficult for them?" Ying Zheng asked again.
Zhao Gao shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, no."
"General Zhang Han is selfless and doesn't care about those slaves. He just lets everything go."
Ying Zheng picked up the spoon again and continued to drink the soup. While drinking, he continued to ask, "How is Sanghai's condition?"
Zhao Gao smiled and half replied and half flattered, "His Majesty the Emperor is here in person. Naturally, all evil will be eliminated and everything will be stable."
Ying Zheng said nothing and just glanced at Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao felt relieved and continued to add calmly, "General Zhang Han is clearing away the unrest in Songhai and the surrounding areas. By the time His Majesty arrives in person, I think everything will be cleared away."
You should say something flattering, but you should also say something that states the facts.
"These are the only questions?" Ying Zheng asked calmly.
If according to what Zhao Gao said, Zhang Han only needs to lead people to clean up to ensure the stability of Songhai, which means that the situation in the Songhai area is actually good, and those anti-Qin forces have not planned any big plans.
Regarding this question, Zhao Gao answered very conservatively, "General Zhang Han has taken no other actions and has not reported any major situations."
This statement is equivalent to putting the blame on Zhang Han, which is equivalent to Zhang Han saying that everything is fine, and Zhang Han saying that there is no big deal.
If something goes wrong... the responsibility will naturally be Zhang Han's.
Of course Ying Zheng could hear Zhao Gao's blame-shifting behavior, but he didn't think much about it.
Zhao Gao pushing the pot is a daily behavior and is really nothing to worry about.
If something goes wrong, of course it is him, the emperor, who has the final say on how to divide the pot. Zhao Gao cannot just pass the blame on others in advance.
"Where is the Imperial Master?" Ying Zheng asked another question lightly.
This topic was a bit sensitive. Zhao Gao kept smiling and carefully replied, "The Imperial Master... doesn't seem to have any movement. He has been in and out recently. The servants under my command are incompetent and can't find any news."
At this time, the soup was no longer hot to the mouth. Ying Zheng drank it in a few gulps without caring about his image, and then said:
"Let the team hurry up and don't waste any more time."
Ying Zheng seemed to have fully accepted the content of Zhao Gao's reply. As for what he was thinking, only he himself knew.
Zhao Gao looked as usual and bowed, "I obey."
After saying that, he immediately stepped forward and removed the tray and soup bowl.
After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng closed his eyes and took a few breaths. When he opened his eyes again, there was no emotion in his eyes.
He bowed his head once again and focused on the endless stream of government affairs in various places.
………………
In the Toad Palace, Tianming gradually approached the central room where the girl was, with a somewhat ugly expression on his face.
Tianming's face looked ugly because he was somewhat in a dilemma at this time.
On the one hand, due to the time factor, he cannot delay too much, otherwise he will not have enough time to retreat.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the other hand, he did not dare to be too radical, after all, there was really nothing he could do against the Moon God's illusion.
Fortunately, the Toad Palace is not that big. Even though Tianming is very ink, he is gradually approaching the core place, which is also his real destination... even though he himself doesn't actually know where he is going.
As they gradually approached the central area, Tianming saw no one, but first heard the faint sound of the Phantom Sound Treasure Box.
The strange and eerie melody is just a special enough tune for many people, but it makes Tianming's heart ripple one after another.
He felt strange, but he couldn't grasp the strange feeling. He only felt a strange commotion in his heart, like a cat scratching.
Probably influenced by the magic sound of the Phantom Sound Box, Tianming's pace unconsciously accelerated a bit and he walked towards the room where the girl was.
In another room, Luna stared at the mirror through the veil, feeling vaguely nervous, as if waiting for something.
Before long, Tianming appeared outside the door of the girl's room.
Looking at the door and listening to the increasingly clear melody in his ears, the strange feeling in Tianming's heart became more obvious, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.
However, his consciousness was very clear, so he did not rush in in a hurry.
Tianming couldn't tell whether what he would encounter after opening this door would be good or bad.
He is now in the enemy's base camp and cannot act haphazardly. If something goes wrong, not only will he be in trouble to escape, but his subsequent rescue operations will also be interfered with.
After struggling for a while, Tianming gritted his teeth and decided to open the door and go in.
He had always felt that he could find clues to Qiantaki's whereabouts here, and that was still the case now.
In this case, in order to achieve the goal, it is worth taking even a little risk.
