To the east of Songhai, above the endless East China Sea, mirages that block out the sky and sun are moving steadily on the sea.
The sea is not calm, but the mirage is as stable as the ground, because it is so big that one ship is enough to equal the effect of dozens or hundreds of ordinary ships chained together.
On the ship, in Yunxiao Pavilion, Yun Zhongjun was drinking and chatting with Xinghun.
The most boring time is sailing. The vast sea makes people tired of looking at it the next day. As for other entertainment methods on the ship... there is actually no entertainment method, especially for the people of the Yin and Yang family.
Fortunately, most people in the Yin and Yang family have mastered it and can endure loneliness far better than ordinary people.
However, Yun Zhongjun and Xinghun will still have a drink and chat.
One of them has an unstable personality, and the other has been in the secular world for too long, and both of them can't bear the loneliness.
While the two were drinking, they chatted about a very important matter.
"Still no one was found?" Xinghun asked Yun Zhongjun.
Yun Zhongjun shook his head, "I caught almost all the bugs I touched, but I didn't find that brat."
Xinghun's face darkened slightly, and he murmured softly, "It seems that the boy really didn't get on the ship..."
They are extremely familiar with every space on the mirage. Even if there are places they are not familiar with, no one else is familiar with them.
In this case, if they want to search, no one can hide it.
Not being able to find Tian Ming means that there is a high probability that Tian Ming is not on the ship - of course, there is also a very small probability that they did not find it, but there is no need to consider the small probability event immediately.
Yun Zhongjun said cautiously, "Lord Xinghun, that boy didn't get on the ship. The plan of the Eastern Emperor..."
According to what they knew about Donghuang Taiyi's plan, Tianming was an indispensable part. Now that he is gone, can this plan still go ahead?
In fact, Yun Zhongjun was thinking about this matter before the ship sailed, but Xinghun didn't respond to him at that time, and just asked him to find someone after the ship sailed.
He thought Xinghun had confirmed that the person was on the boat, but now he couldn't find the person... What was embarrassing was that the boat had already sailed, so he couldn't go back, right?
Xinghun said solemnly, "Before setting off the ship, I asked the woman from the Moon Goddess, but she told me that I just need to follow the emperor's order to sail the ship... Could it be that she was fooled!?"
"Lord Moon God... you shouldn't ruin the plan of Headmaster Donghuang, right?" Yun Zhongjun said with a smile.
Although Yun Zhongjun has no favorable impression of Moon God and is even somewhat hostile, he cannot directly criticize a protector like Star Soul.
Besides, he really didn't think that Luna would ruin Donghuang Taiyi's plan - it wasn't a question of dare or not, the main thing was that doing so would be detrimental to Luna himself.
In fact, Xinghun had the same idea as Yun Zhongjun on this point, so he was simply dealt with by the Moon God.
"Who knows what that woman is planning..." At this point, Xinghun directly smashed the wine glass in his hand on the table and stood up.
"Master Xinghun, what are you doing?" Yun Zhongjun stood up and asked in surprise.
"I'm going to find her!"
After saying these four words, Xinghun strode away quickly.
Yun Zhongjun watched him leave without speaking or interfering.
Of course Xinghun can question Moon God, so there is no need for him to meddle in other matters.
As for Donghuang Taiyi's plan... anyway, with Xinghun and Yueshen, the two more impatient protectors, standing in front of him, he was not in a hurry.
What he is more concerned about now is his own elixir.
After the mirage was out of the sea, he had more free time, and he became more and more concerned about his almost successful elixir, but was intercepted and taken away.
………………
In the palace of the Moon Goddess, she was meditating.
Unlike Xinghun Yunzhongjun, Yueshen is a person who can endure loneliness and can calm down and meditate for a long time.
The boredom of sailing is not a big problem for her.
Xinghun rushed in directly at this time, and he didn't care what the moon god was doing, and asked directly:
"Is this what you told me, no problem!?"
Moon God frowned and asked in a nonchalant manner, "Why did Lord Xinghun do this to be so rude?"
Xinghun burst into the door so unexpectedly that she had no idea what was going on with him.
"Excuse me?" Xinghun sneered, "Lord Moon God, do you still have the heart to care about such trivial matters?"
"Lord Xinghun, you might as well explain the 'big thing' you are talking about more clearly." Moon God still had an attitude that was neither salty nor indifferent.
After setting off on the boat, the relationship between the two of them began to gradually become apparent, almost to the point of starting a fight before they even met.
"The mirage has gone out to sea, but that boy is not on the boat!" Xinghun made the first impression, and after building up enough momentum, he began to speak in human terms, "Before setting off, you kept telling me that it was no problem. Is this what you call no problem?"
"You don't want to ruin the plan of Headmaster Donghuang, right?"
In the end, he didn't forget to give him a hat.
Although they are really far behind now, there is no harm in splashing some dirty water on themselves to occupy a position of political correctness.
Upon hearing this, a flash of understanding flashed across Luna God's eyes, and he immediately understood why Star Soul was whirring like this.
After all, it is related to the success or failure of the mirage's voyage, so it is normal for Star Soul to act anxiously.
"How do Lord Xinghun know that this is not part of the Eastern Emperor's plan?" Looking at Xinghun who was anxious and looking for trouble, Yue Shen deliberately made his words unclear.
"What do you mean?" Xinghun looked irritated when he heard this, "You and I both know what the plan is, where did the other part come from?"
"Just because you don't know, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Moon God's tone was calm, but the provocation was very effective. "Before setting off from Xianyang, Headmaster Donghuang once specifically instructed that the mirage's departure should be allowed to take its course, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
Those little details."
"That boy can't be considered trivial." Xinghun reminded him with narrowed eyes.
"But Headmaster Donghuang's instruction is not to worry about it." Yueshen pushed back unceremoniously.
Xinghun stared at the Moon God with a scrutinizing gaze and said meaningfully, "Lord Moon God...didn't Headmaster Donghuang only tell you about this?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Why, Master Xinghun doesn't believe it?" Moon God asked in return.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that the matter is so important that I don't dare to neglect it." Xinghun replied with a sneer, "Once the mirage sets sail, it will be thousands of miles away. If something goes wrong and delays the plans of my Yin Yang family, who will be responsible for this?
Can you carry it?"
"If Lord Xinghun is worried, you can let Mirage turn around and return home. I will never stop you." Xinghun's reason can be said to be reasonable, and Moon God simply obeyed without refuting.
After receiving such a response, Xinghun's face became uncertain for a while, and in the end he could only snort and walk away.
In this matter, the Moon God directly blocked him from both ends.
Star Soul's only solution is to resolve this problem before the ship sails.
Now that the ship has sailed, it is definitely not possible to turn around and go back.
There are no technical difficulties, but Ying Zheng couldn't explain it.
It's a good voyage, but when you suddenly turn back, you have to give an explanation.
Of course, Xinghun has a reason, which is related to the success or failure of Xunxian. I believe Ying Zheng is also willing to accept his reason - if this reason has nothing to do with Tianming.
Regarding Tianming's matter, there were differences and conflicts between Ying Zheng and the Yin Yang family, although both parties had a tacit understanding and did not bring this matter to light.
If Xinghun sailed the ship back and told the emperor that it was because of Tianming... it was hard for him to say whether the emperor would directly settle this old debt that had existed for many years on his head.
As for making up an excuse to fool the emperor, he was somewhat sure that he could do it, but only if no one caused trouble for him.
If Moon God took the opportunity to borrow a knife to kill someone, he would probably die faster.
But he had to bite the bullet and continue to let the ship sail... Xinghun was really worried.
In principle, he believed that the Moon God would not destroy Donghuang Taiyi's plan, but in fact... he could not place his hope on a person who had conflicts with him and wanted to fight with him.
In short, block both ends.
The Moon God looked at the star soul leaving in anger, without caring, and started to meditate again with his eyes closed.
Moon God is much calmer than Star Soul, because Donghuang Taiyi really told him not to do anything deliberate when setting sail from the mirage, just let nature take its course.
At the same time, Concubine Yan did not make any move.
Then she will naturally sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
………………
Outside Songhai City, the Mohist stronghold.
After Master Ban listened to Tianming Shaoyu and others repeating what Zhang Liang said sentence by sentence, he stroked his beard and nodded seriously and said, "Since the ovary has his own plans, we can't force him too much, so let him go."
Tao Zhi brushed the yellow hair on his forehead and said, "What about the reminder from the ovary? Should we stay for a while longer?"
"Zifang shouldn't talk in vain, but there is no need to stay in Songhai." Gao Jianli took over the conversation and said.
Master Ben then said, "I'll leave the old man alone and keep an eye on it. If anything happens, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"As soon as Ying Zheng moves, the book-burning order will begin. I have a lot of work to do next, so let me, old man, hide away."
There is no doubt that the area where the Book Burning Order was implemented most quickly and effectively was the area that Ying Zheng would pass through next on his eastward tour.
If the emperor moves, the Mohist family must also move.
Gao Jianli nodded and agreed with Master Ban's plan, "Okay, let's leave the matter of Songhai to Master Ban, and the others will rush to other places with me to deal with the Book Burning Order."
"What about me? Shall I follow you?" Tianming hurriedly interjected and asked.
He knew that Gao Jianli and the others usually excluded him by default when arranging tasks.
"You..." After Gao Jianli hesitated for a moment, he planned to take Tianming away.
In fact, without considering other additional factors, he would prefer Tianming to stay in Songhai and stay with Master Ban.
In this way, it can not only fill the vacancy of Master Ban who has no experts around him, but also ensure the safety of Master Ban, and Tianming himself can be in a safer environment.
In addition, Zhang Liang told Tianming before that he could not be exposed to the emperor's gaze, and their trip would have to be close to the emperor's eastward patrol route, so the risk was not small.
However, considering that the mirage may have another accident - although Zhang Liang did not explain what the accident was, there is a high probability that the mirage will return.
Mirage's return might very well bring the emperor back, and coupled with the various strange connections between Tianming and Mirage, it would not be a good idea for him to continue to stay in Songhai.
It may be safer to take it with you and keep an eye on it.
However, Gai Nie said before him, "Tianming, please stay in Songhai, just in time to look after Master Ban, just in case."
Gai Nie is not from the Mo family, but he is Tianming's guardian, and he is the only person truly qualified to command Tianming.
On the contrary, they are members of the Mo family, and theoretically they are not qualified to command their own giants.
As soon as Gai Nie opened his mouth, Gao Jianli swallowed his words immediately, and Tianming had no intention of rejecting him.
"Okay, uncle...then do you want to go with Xiao Gao and the others?"
"It depends on the situation. I will help you if necessary." Ge Nie had no intention of sitting idly by regarding the book-burning order.
This thing is aimed at the lifeblood of hundreds of schools of thought, and he is from the Guigu sect and the most authentic direct descendant of the Zongheng family.
………………
Beidi, Shangjun.
After Meng Tian successfully expelled the wolves and regained Henan, Fusu withdrew from the front line and returned to Shangjun to supervise the construction of the Great Wall.
This was Meng Tian's job, and it is still Meng Tian's job now. The reason why Fusu was able to do it for him was because he was assigned to the Northland to supervise the army, and what he was supervising was Meng Tian's repair of the Great Wall.
Now Meng Tian is still mopping up the last remnants of the wolf tribe in the north. When he comes back, the task of supervising the work will fall on him again.
Now that several days have passed since the destruction of Little Saint Xian Manor, Dianqing, who was ordered by Fusu to rescue Fu Nian, also rushed back to Shangjun to see him as soon as possible.
"Master, please punish me. Dianqing is incompetent and failed to save Master Fu Nian." Dianqing apologized to himself as soon as he started.
Fusu sighed softly, stepped forward to help Dianqing up in person, and replied with emotion:
"Mr. Dianqing, there is no need to be like this. I know what happened. Since it is Master Fu Nian's own choice, we should respect it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It is a blessing to be able to save Mr. Yan Lu and Mr. Zhang Liang."
"It's just a pity that Little Saint Xian Manor..."
"Father, he..."
Fusu couldn't help but shook his head when he said this, but he didn't stop there.
Ying Zheng was his father and the emperor, so he couldn't say anything after all.
"I don't know what will happen to Confucianism next...and hundreds of other schools of thought..."
Thinking of this, Fusu sighed again.
The ceremony was listened to silently below without making a sound.
After a long time, Fusu came to his senses and quickly said to him, "By the way, I have something else to ask Mr. Dianqing to go over."
"I have two letters, one to Master Han Fei and the other to General Meng Tian. They are confidential, so I can only ask Mr. Dianqing to do it himself."
Jianqing nodded, took the letter and left directly.
The ceremony is always so silent, just working.
After he left, Fusu turned around and returned to his seat, unconsciously touching the Changhong Sword lying beside him with his palm.
Feeling the warmth coming from the sword, Fusu remembered the secret letter he had received from his teacher before.
………………
Guanzhong, Xianyang.
It was three o'clock in the morning when Gu Xun swayed out of bed.
During this period, he strictly implemented his purpose of returning to Xianyang - to fish hard.
I go to bed when I'm full every day, eat when I wake up, and don't worry about it any more. My days are extremely carefree.
After Gu Xun got up and washed up, it was almost noon. He still had a leisurely breakfast without putting down the porridge bowl, and then he saw Zi Nu who happened to be back.
Looking at the porridge in Gu Xun's bowl, Zi Nujiao smiled and joked, "It's almost noon now, so the Imperial Master's lunch seems a little shabby!"
