In the Mo family stronghold in Jicheng, Han Shen was injured by Star Soul in the battle last night and is currently recovering from his injuries.
A girl with bright eyes and white teeth was giving him medicine, her eyes filled with distressed reproach, "Senior brother, you were too careless, and you were actually hurt by a child."
Han Shen was speechless and said helplessly: "Junior sister, that is not a child. The guardian star soul of the Yin Yang family is also a first-class master in the world."
"But Jing Ke told me, isn't that a dwarf?"
"I don't know how old an old monster he is."
Jing Ke quietly opened the door and came in, stepping lightly, and asked: "Li Ji, how is your recovery, senior brother?"
Gongsun Liji put down the medicine bowl and sighed: "Fortunately, the injury is not serious."
Jing Ke saw her sad face, sat down and held her hand, "What's wrong?"
"You were seriously injured in the last battle in Puyang. If it hadn't been for Master Nianduan, you would have..." Li Ji looked back at Jing Ke's face, her eyes filled with mist.
"I learned some basic medical skills from Master Nianduan, but the Mohist disciples still died one after another in front of my eyes. Too many of us have died, why is it not over yet? I'm afraid that one day, senior brother
, Jing Ke, even you..."
Jing Ke held her in his arms, pressed her hair close to hers, and whispered in his ear: "No, no..."
Han Shen's chest heaved heavily and he slowly closed his eyes.
Gongsun Liji's voice and smile, master Gongsun Yu's last instructions; the Weiguo flag torn in Puyang City, the red background and black flag of the Qin Dynasty rising... all of this bit his heart crazily.
"As long as a tyrannical country like Qin still exists, the war will not stop. Countless people will still die in this world.
The blood of Mohist disciples will not be shed in vain. One day, that tyrant Ying Zheng will die, the Qin Kingdom will perish, and people in every country can live and work in peace and contentment on their own land. Ahem~"
Li Ji frowned, patted him, and advised: "Brother, you still have internal injuries, so you can't get excited."
Han Shen shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Junior sister, junior brother, please go out and let me be alone for a while."
Li Ji turned her eyebrows to Jing Ke, who nodded slightly.
He walked out of the room, closed the door, and left together in silence.
After walking for some distance, Jing Ke suddenly asked: "Liji, tell me, if people from every country live and work in peace and contentment on their own land, what kind of world would that be like?"
Li Ji felt longing at first and then sad, "Maybe, I am very happy."
"Really... When Emperor Zhou divided the world, there were seventy-one countries, but now there are only five countries left in the world.
It was wrong for Qin to invade other countries and should be overthrown; then all countries should also be overthrown. Even if we go back to the Seventy-One Kingdoms, the Zhou Dynasty was established after the destruction of the Shang Dynasty..."
Hearing Jing Ke's words getting more and more outrageous, she couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm just thinking, why are there endless wars? How will they end..."
For the remaining Mohist leaders, this war was more shocking and painful than any other time.
The giant Six-fingered Black Man and the great hero Lu Goujian both died, and the Mohist disciples turned against each other because of hatred. After the fierce war, the two families were almost wiped out.
The unreasonable and drastic sacrifice made Jing Ke begin to doubt the path they had been taking.
If we really want to answer when the war will end, maybe it will end when Qin dominates the world.
Jing Ke quickly shook his head and slapped himself, "This kind of thinking is too insulting to the brothers who have passed away."
Li Ji looked confused, "Well, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing. I just blame myself for not being able to protect my senior brother."

Prince Yan's Mansion
Yan Dan was already sure of the Yin Yang family's goal, but he couldn't take action.
As a disciple of the Mo family, his level of mechanical skills is not bad. But if he wants to find the secrets hidden in the palace, he still needs to have enough understanding of Qimen Dunjia. There is nothing Yan Dan can do about this.
Moreover, this secret was so unusual that Yan Dan did not dare to discuss it with anyone at will, so he could only keep it in his stomach.
Grand Tutor Ju Wu came in and said, "Your Majesty, the body of General Song Yi has been buried."
Yan Dan was silent for a long time, then said dryly: "Thank you for your hard work, teacher."
"Your Majesty, you are now the Great King, and your status in the Mo family is somewhat...sigh~" Ju Wu turned his head and didn't want to say any more.
Yan Dan glanced at his face and immediately sat upright, "Teacher, I just said it's okay."
"General Song Yi died and should be buried with honors, but you, my king, buried him so carelessly. Who is willing to serve your king?"
"Teacher, I am——"
Ju Wu had been holding it in for a long time, but this time it was finally released. He interrupted Yan Dan simply, "The Mohist family calls festival burials, so the king treated General Song Yi like this;
Mohism calls universal love, so the king is equal to everyone in Mohism;
Mohism calls it respecting the virtuous, so the king recruits talents and assigns them positions;
Has your Majesty ever thought about the consequences of doing so?"
Yan Dan was asked a series of questions by the teacher, "Did you do this wrong?"
"It's right from the perspective of Mohism, but it's totally wrong from the standpoint of the country.
As a king, he is equal to all the people of the Mo family. What does this make the ministers under the king's rule think?
General Song Yi sacrificed his life for the king and was buried without any decent etiquette. What did this make all the soldiers who fought for the Yan Kingdom think?
How can the ministers of the imperial court or the army and the people be convinced if they are able to recruit talented people and receive official appointments even though they have not yet achieved any merit?
A sect is a sect, and governing a country is governing a country. If Mohist theory could really govern a country, the "Mo Jing" should be a must-have teaching material for every vassal state, but it is not!"
"Teacher, I..."
Yan Dan was speechless after being lectured, and Ju Wu stared at him with his old eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, where do you want to take my country, Yan?"
You can hear the needle drop.
By coincidence, a soldier ran in like flying and knelt down on one knee, "Report, Your Majesty, Mr. Kuai Che of the Guigu Sect has been discovered in the Talent Recruitment Center."
"Mr. Kuai Che of the Guigu Sect?!" Yan Dan was startled and ran out the door in three steps.
Ju Wu turned his head and stared at his leaving figure, just staring at him.
Of course he had heard of who Kuai Che was. The King of Qin issued a wanted order, saying that he had assassinated important figures in the Qin State.
The Guigu Sect has always had only two disciples, but this third disciple who suddenly appeared is indeed enough to attract attention in the world.
But in Ju Wu's eyes, this kind of person is of no use to the country.
He stared straight at Yan Dan completely disappearing from his sight, and closed his eyes in pain.
"The king of a country behaves like a knight-errant. He only cares about the immediate future and has no long-term plans. Yan State, let's stop here... Time is also destiny, Qin State, it is really destiny."
Ju Wu dusted off his clothes, took a look at this simple temporary palace, and left with a sigh.
