The silver moon is like a hook, and the stars are cold.
The overlapping mountains and forests seem to be painted with endless thick ink, and the bare mountains and forests are shadowy and silent.
Sudden.
A hazy shadow quickly passed between the bare mountains and forests.
An old man in black clothes landed on the top of the mountain.
"You're exposed!"
A low voice sounded in the lonely mountain forest.
"impossible!"
Tongming was wearing a brown monk's robe and said with a solemn expression.
The old man looked at him, his eyes flashing.
"It's impossible for Jin An to reveal my identity, let alone betray me!" Tongming said.
"But the Zhenwu Division is going to attack Wanfu Temple!" the old man said.
Tongming paused, "Maybe they planned to target Wanfu Temple from the beginning."
"Then what are your plans?" the old man asked.
In fact, he didn't care whether Tongmei's identity would be exposed, because he had no relationship with Manpukuji Temple.
In his eyes, Wanfu Temple is just a tool, and all he values is Tongming, the innate warrior.
It would be good for him to have Tongming's identity exposed. Without Wanfuji's worries, Tongming might completely surrender to his command.
"I need your help!"
Tongming looked at the old man and said.
"What do you want me to do?" the old man asked.
"Lead Mo Yan away from Prince Xin'an!" Tongming said.
"You plan to strike first!" the old man said with a frown.
"That's right!"
"Rather than just sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative and kill the Prince of Xin'an County once and for all!" A cold light flashed in Tongming's eyes.
The old man meditated for a moment with his hands behind his back, then shook his head slightly and said, "I can't fight with Mo Yan. Mo Yan is too familiar with me. Once I take action, he will definitely discover my identity."
Tongming frowned.
"Why not invite Master Kumu?" the old man asked.
Upon hearing Master Kumu, Tongming showed a look of hatred on his face, "That old guy has given up on Wanfu Temple!"
The old man didn't know the conflicts within Wanfu Temple, and maybe he didn't care about them either.
He took a deep breath and said, "You come and lure Mo Yan away, while I go kill Prince Xin'an."
"Can!"
"Remember, I must let Mo Yan leave Xin'an County Prince Sanli before I take action! If Mo Yan is not lured away, I will not take action easily." The old man said solemnly.
Killing Qin Wei was his purpose, but he could not expose his identity for this purpose.
Tongming nodded slightly.
"I see!"
The old man looked at him deeply and chuckled: "As long as you can kill Prince Xin'an, I will definitely fulfill what I promised you before."
"As long as Wanfu Temple can be saved, I am willing to do everything for the young master!"
In the dark forest, the bright figure slowly disappeared.
…
Inside Kyoto City.
In an ordinary house.
Faintly, a figure crossed the night sky and jumped into a house.
In the house, Zhuge Zheng and I were sitting on the couch. He suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to hold the hilt of the sword next to him.
Squeak!
The door was pushed open.
A figure entered the room.
Clang!
In the dim room, a cold sword light flashed, piercing the intruding figure.
There was a ding sound, and a palm touched the tip of the sword.
A round and kind face appeared.
Zhuge looked at me intently.
"Don't be nervous, our family belongs to His Highness!" Cao Zhengchun said with a smile.
Zhuge Zheng looked at him suspiciously.
"His Highness asked our family to give this to you." Cao Zhengchun took out a letter.
Zhuge Zhengwo took back his sword, opened the letter and read it.
After reading it, he fell into deep thought.
The letter was written by Qin Wei, which he could confirm because it had Qin Wei's private seal on it.
The content of the letter asked him to arrange for Cao Zhengchun to enter the palace.
This is not an easy thing.
"This is not easy!"
"Our family knows."
"I need time to think of a solution." Zhuge Zhengwo looked at Cao Zhengchun thoughtfully.
He didn't know the origin and identity of Cao Zhengchun, but since it was Qin Wei's order, he would try his best to do it.
"In three days, our family will come back to see you!"
Cao Zhengchun smiled.
"The matter is so important that there is no room for error!"
"Don't worry, our family knows better than you!"
After that, Cao Zhengchun left the room and closed the door.
Zhuge Zheng and I frowned and read the letter again.
After a long time, he took a long breath.
"Your Highness really gave me a difficult problem!"
…
Tianzhou City.
In the wing of Qingsi Garden.
Qin Wei looked at the imprisoned warriors in front of him.
After the battle at the Bloody Clothes Tower, each major sect sent him five ninth-level warriors.
It is more difficult to capture a ninth-level warrior alive than to kill a ninth-level warrior. If it were not for the higher points for capturing alive, those sect warriors would not bother to capture these warriors alive.
Next, it was time to refine the Qi of these five ninth-level warriors, but Qin Wei was thinking about who should give the refined Qi to.
At present, among his chess pieces, only Li Ru, Wang Shouren and Di Renjie have not reached the ninth level of cultivation. The others are already at the ninth level and do not need him to transmit the true energy.
Unless there are innate warriors, even if you give them Qi, they will not be able to break through and it will be wasted.
As for himself, he can absorb the true energy of another ninth-grade warrior.
"Li Ru doesn't need it! It's enough that he has the ability to protect himself."
"Wang Shouren is mainly a Confucian cultivator. Giving him Qi may lead him to go astray, so it is better not to give him Qi."
"There is only one Di Renjie left!"
Qin Wei thought for a while and shouted: "Xiao Shunzi, call Di Renjie."
If Bai Qi were here, he could also use his true energy to improve Bai Qi's cultivation. Unfortunately, in order to avoid more trouble, Bai Qi has already left Tianzhou City.
"Here!" Xiao Shunzi responded.
After a while, Di Renjie came to the side room.
Qin Wei directly began to transform his true energy.
Di Renjie was a little shocked when his cultivation level was directly upgraded from the sixth level to the ninth level, but he quickly accepted it.
"Thank you for the gift, Your Highness!" Di Renjie thanked him.
"You go down first!"
Qin Wei said.
After Di Renjie left, Qin Wei looked at the remaining ninth-level warrior.
"Perhaps we should cultivate a group of dead soldiers, but the loyalty of dead soldiers cannot be guaranteed!"
There is something inhumane about cultivating dead soldiers.
But in this world, there is no need to talk about humanitarianism.
For him, loyalty is far more important than humanitarianism.
Although the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division are now very loyal to him, they are not chess pieces after all and cannot be 100% sure.
If loyalty can be guaranteed and combined with the Forge of Ten Thousand Arts, Qin Wei can produce warriors in large quantities.
Just like the blood evil slaves in the Blood Clothes Building.
Although the Blood Demon Slaves behaved very awkwardly in front of Qin Wei, they should not be underestimated because of this.
In the Jianghu, the blood evil slaves in the Blood Clothes Tower are very cruel.
Qin Wei thought for a while, "Go and call Shi Luan."
Xiao Shunzi's life is to run errands. Not only did he send Di Renjie away, he went to find Shi Luan again.
When Shi Luan came over, Qin Wei looked at her with a little hesitation.
Shi Luan's loyalty is beyond doubt.
Qin Wei had no scruples about using the Ten Thousand Methods Furnace to improve her cultivation.
What Qin Wei hesitated about was whether Shi Luan could lead the dead soldiers.
The person who leads the dead soldiers must be ruthless enough.
There are chess characters with ruthless personalities, such as Fire Cloud Evil God and Cao Zhengchun.
But Fire Cloud Evil God was so unreliable that Qin Wei was afraid that he would turn all the dead soldiers into dead men.
And Cao Zhengchun still has great use, and it is impossible to follow Qin Wei.
"Come here and sit down cross-legged!" Qin Wei said.
Shi Luan was stunned for a moment, but then he followed Qin Wei's instructions and sat on the bluestone ground.
Qin Wei put his hand on her shoulder and said: "Don't move around, practice your skills!"
The next moment.
The pure Qi was introduced into Shi Luan's body.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Luan's pretty face turned red instantly, not because of shame, but because a strange power flowed into Qin Wei's palm and injected into her body.
The pores all over her body were dilated, like boiling water, almost bursting out of her blood vessels, bursting her delicate body.
However, her endurance was obviously greater than that of Xiao Shunzi, and she did not make the sound Qin Wei expected.
After the transmission of zhenqi was completed, Shi Luan looked at Qin Wei in shock.
"Get up!"
Qin Wei said calmly.
Shi Luan's usually cold mood now became turbulent.
"This matter must be kept secret!"
"I understand!" Shi Luan calmed down. She did not stand up, but knelt down on the ground and worshiped.
"Go to the barracks and select a group of loyal soldiers. The king needs a group of dead soldiers!"
Qin Wei looked down at her slender figure.
Shi Luan touched his forehead to the ground and said sincerely: "I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!"
Qin Wei was her savior. It was Qin Wei who rescued her from the death row of the Ministry of Punishment.
So she is willing to follow Qin Wei and serve Qin Wei.
Now Qin Wei has given her trust again. Although Qin Wei did not explain to her what the ability he just displayed was, he showed her this ability.
What she cares about is not the pure Qi, but Qin Wei's trust in her.
A scholar dies for a confidant!
Lonely people crave trust and sincerity more.
Shi Luan's coldness comes from her inner loneliness, as well as from the suffering and hatred she has experienced.
"Go for it!"
Qin Wei nodded with satisfaction.
He chose Shi Luan, firstly, because Shi Luan is loyal enough and has no worries. Secondly, Shi Luan's temperament is cold enough. Although he is a little less ruthless, he is the most suitable person around him to train dead soldiers.
.
Shi Luan bowed and exited the room.
…
Walking out of the wing, Qin Wei met Wang Shouren head-on.
"Students pay homage to His Highness!"
Qin Wei saw Wang Shouren and said with a smile: "Did you have a good rest last night?"
Wang Shouren wore a Confucian shirt and said: "The students have a good rest."
Then the two of them walked along the corridor towards the front yard.
"Your Highness!" Wang Shouren seemed a little confused.
Qin Wei looked at him and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to meet with me outside."
Wang Shouren hesitated for a moment and said, "The student wants to study!"
"Study! Where to go?" Qin Wei asked.
"Kingto Imperial College!" Wang Shouren said.
He just came to this world yesterday. Although he didn't know much about this world, he still learned from the soldiers in the garden that the most prosperous place for Confucianism in Dali was the Imperial College.
Although he also wanted to stay with Qin Wei and serve Qin Wei, he wanted to go to the Imperial College to study.
Qin Wei scratched his head a little.
This time he transformed four chess pieces. Bai Qi went to Qinzhou and Cao Zhengchun went to Kyoto. If Wang Shouren left again, then he would only have Di Renjie by his side.
But he couldn't stop Wang Shouren from studying.
He naturally hopes that Wang Shouren can become a Confucian scholar, and the Imperial College is undoubtedly the most suitable place for Wang Shouren.
"Let's do this. I will write a letter later and recommend you to Mr. Cheng Yifu, the Imperial Academy's liberator." Qin Wei thought for a while and said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Wang Shouren bowed and said.
Qin Wei waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter."
Afterwards, Qin Wei came to the main hall and wrote a letter.
Although the time he has been in contact with Wang Shouren is still short, he also has some understanding of Wang Shouren's character.
The current Wang Shouren is not Duke Yangming, because he is very young now, only in his twenties.
As for Yangming's philosophy of mind, Wang Shouren has not fully understood it yet. When he understands Yangming's philosophy of mind, he will probably become a Confucian master in this world.
Therefore, it is very necessary for Wang Shouren to study.
Then Wang Shouren was ready to leave for Kyoto.
Qin Wei asked Xiao Shunzi to prepare a carriage for him, and also arranged a small banner of soldiers as a guard for him.
