Whatever you want to face, whatever you don't want to face, you have to face sooner or later. The banquet lasted only three rounds, but the topic still reached the most critical point.
Yan Dan, Xia Fu, Qing Qing, and Master Ban talked about the major events that had happened in the world in the past two years, and they naturally mentioned that the Confucianists removed Lu Yan and made a clear stance against Qin, but Chu Mo and Qi Mo chose
defected to Qin.
"What? The old man Xiangfu, Master Xu, they defected to Qin. How is this possible?"
Master Ben was in disbelief. He shouted and stood up, his fat body holding on to his clothes shaking slightly.
Xia Fu patted his shoulder and sighed, "I can't believe it either, but it just happened. The meteorite that fell on the outskirts of Handan was the one that many people said was the cause of Lu Yan's death.
As for the star, the State of Qin is sending craftsmen to deal with it, led by Master Xu, to refine meteorite iron into swords. This matter has spread throughout the world."
"Master Ban, Senior Yu, the husband of Qi Mo, blatantly refused to resist Qin. Qi State became angry and a conflict broke out. Alas~" Yan Dan also lamented repeatedly, shaking his head, "The Mo family and the Three Kingdoms Alliance formed a grudge, which eventually turned into
Now it looks like this. Even the government city has been cut off by the Mohist disciples, and it has really been left alone since then."
"..."
Master Ben's eyes were blank, he fell down and slumped down on his seat. There was still some wine left in his gray beard, and because of the trembling of his lips, for a long time, a drop fell from the tip of his beard.
"The old man, the prime minister, how could he, with his bad temper, defect to Qin? He..."
"The person who was handling this matter in Qi State at that time was Qin Wuyang. He had gone to Chu State before for the Sword Discussion Conference, and it was almost time to return. Regarding Qi Mo, just ask him for details...
"
Xia Fu looked at his helpless look, his thick eyebrows drooped, and his voice softened, "Old man Ban, I know you have good friendships with some of Qi Mo's seniors, um..."
He didn't say much, and drank down the wine in his hand.
"Master Ban, you don't have to worry about it. Qi Mo is clearly staying in the comfortable and prosperous Qi State, and he has long forgotten the Mohist principles of strict self-discipline, hardship and frugality."
"That's right, he was greedy for life and afraid of death. Because Qin was so powerful, he didn't dare to fight against it. He even took refuge in the tyrant and lived in an ignoble way."
"As a disciple of the Mohist family, I want to bring benefits to the world and eliminate the harm to the world. I will go through fire and water, and I will die! People like Qi Mo and Chu Mo who only care about personal gain and life are not worthy of being a disciple of the Mohist family at all."
"Master Ban, you are the real senior of the Mo family."
"Yes, the title of master is well deserved."
"..."
Master Ben looked at the young, enthusiastic faces in the hall, blinked his old eyes, took a deep sniff, and didn't know what to say.
After another moment of silence, he asked Xia Fu: "Master Xu has defected to Qin, and the road to Guancheng is dead. Is there any news about Jing Ke and Li Ji?"
"This..." Xia Fu frowned and hesitated before replying, "As far as we know so far, among the leaders who defected to Qin, there are no Jing Ke or Li Ji."
"Oh, I know, I know."
The delicious food and wine in front of him, the lively atmosphere, suddenly left only the coldness in his heart. Master Ben smacked his lips, and in the end, he said nothing more.
…
As Xia Fu said, the sword discussion conference ended, the new sword manual spread all over the world, and Qin Wuyang quickly returned to Jicheng.
Also coming to Jicheng were Han Liu, Pingqiu, and Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao will come to Jicheng, firstly, to fulfill the promise he made to Yan Dan. At that time, he promised Yan Dan that after returning to his master, he would come to Yan country to repay the kindness that day. As for the second thing...
It is embarrassing to say that after the Sword Discussion Conference, the reputation of Zhanlu Sword Master Chen Xiao was not that good.
His performance in the Sword Discussion Conference was not good. In the battles with Feng Tu, Wei Zhuang, and Fu Nian, he took the initiative to admit defeat against the top three in the Sword Book. As a result, the fourth place in the Sword Book was given to the famous sword Qingxu.
Wanhe Pine.
More importantly, he was the first person from Shandong to come forward to protect Jie during the battle at the Sword Discussion Conference.
A Chu countryman, a face figure of the Confucian Zhongliang family, a man recognized by Zhan Lu, the Sword of Humanity, unexpectedly stepped forward to protect the snare killer.
For this kind of thing, even Qi Diao Ji Liang, who had cooperated with Chen Xiao several times, couldn't help but curse, let alone those Jianghu knights.
Only a few people would say that Chen Xiao was great. Under such circumstances, they would rather offend the public than protect Jie.
More people looked at Chen Xiao coldly.
For the same thing, Feng Tu gained the most widespread fame.
Because Chen Xiao was the one who did it first, Feng Tu just considered the fairness of the sword discussion conference and announced that he could not be surrounded and killed during the sword discussion. But the killer in the trap would definitely be killed afterwards.
The knights all lamented that Feng Tu had a deep understanding of righteousness and a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and he was truly a hero. However, they commented on Chen Xiao because he was a benevolent woman and did not understand righteousness.
Chen Xiao knew very well what he was doing. He was worthy of heaven, worthy of others, worthy of his own heart, worthy of the sword in his hand, and didn't care at all about the opinions of the outside world.
The knights of the Sword Discussing Conference settled down in Chu State after the support from farmers arrived. Qin Wuyang took Hanliu and Pingqiu returned home, and Chen Xiao followed him to Jicheng.
"Your Majesty, I'm back."
Qin Wuyang was very happy. This sword discussion conference was successfully held. Although an accident occurred, the final result was good.
Because of that three-sword combination, many people were seriously injured. During the period of recuperation, they communicated a lot, and they had common enemies, so they got closer to each other. Coupled with the official benefits, the cohesion of Dongfang Jianghu became stronger
Already.
Feiyan Sword is famous all over the world, and Duanhong Sword is listed as the thirteenth sword in the sword manual. Duanhong, this is the sword given to Hanliu by Yan Dan, and the reputation of Yanwang Dan is also rising.
Pingqiu, from an unknown medical family, instantly became a medical master in the world.
Qin Wuyang also brought back some knights recruited at the Sword Discussion Conference who were willing to join Yan Dan.
There are two masters among them, one is named Ding Ge and the other is Jiu Sheng. They are not in the sword manual, but their strength is not bad. Their swordsmanship is not perfect, but they are still good players.
The two of them were affected by the energy of the combined sword at that time, but it was Pingqiu who saved their lives. In order to repay his kindness, he insisted on following them to Yan Kingdom regardless of being injured.
Yan Dan did not sit on her seat and wait for people to come in. Instead, she walked like the wind and laughed boldly to greet them, "Haha, Wuyang, you can make me wait for a while."
In the courtyard of the palace, the eyes of the soldiers on duty moved quietly as they watched the king cordially greet General Qin Wuyang in the courtyard.
"Your Majesty~"
Qin Wuyang grinned, stopped, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Wuyang is lucky to have lived up to his command. This sword discussion conference has yielded a lot."
Yan Dan held his fist and pressed it lightly, turned around and wanted to pull him into the house, "You really won't let me down, let's go in and talk."
Qin Wuyang resisted for a while and stood on the spot, "Your Majesty, in addition to some knight-errant heroes who have come to seek refuge this time, Mr. Chen Xiao from Confucianism is also traveling with him. I have arranged for him to rest in the post house first. Your Majesty -"
"Mr. Chen Xiao!" Yan Dan was ecstatic when he heard this, "Okay, great. I will go to the post house in person right now."
"Your Majesty, follow me." Qin Wuyang turned around and walked out of the palace to lead the way without any delay.
Yan Dan followed quickly, feeling quite uneasy.
He is short of talents, very short of talents. If Zhan Lu Jian and Chen Xiao truly surrender, they will be comparable to an army of 100,000 people.
