Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"The Mo family is okay. Although Yan Dan caused a lot of turmoil, Yan Dan also took away those who caused the turmoil. The people who stayed in Guan City didn't have so much trouble." Facing Yang Ming, Question, Master Cang, who wanted to ask for something, chose to say it ambiguously.

"I'm afraid not necessarily. Although the Six-fingered Black Man is too selfish and cannot be considered a qualified Mo family leader, as long as he is around, he can eventually suppress and solve some internal problems of the Mo family. If he is gone, there will be no more problems in the Mo family. The people in charge will only become more chaotic. Although Guancheng City is known as a rare pure land in the world, so many Mohist disciples gathered there, and they may all love each other. Isn't there a saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes? "

"Although Guan City is a city, it is also a city where people gather. It will still have its own rivers and lakes." Yang Ming directly exposed the old ways of Guan City at this time. Even Guan Qinglong was brought back to the Yan Kingdom by Yan Dan. Can't you still see the internal problems of the Mohist family?

Therefore, Master Cang's so-called concealment is meaningless to Yang Ming.

"As expected, I can't hide anything from you. Ever since the great master died in your hands, the Mo family, which originally seemed to have no problems, has suddenly changed, and all kinds of problems have emerged one after another." Master Cang said with a bitter smile.

"Don't you people from the Mo family want to avenge your own giant?" Yang Ming asked.

"This..." Sure enough, as Yang Ming finished speaking, Master Cang's expression froze. But now that he had someone to ask for, he could only say: "Big Master, he got involved in the battle between Qin and Yan because of his personal affairs. If you are finally killed, how can the Mohist disciples avenge their own giant?"

There is indeed some truth to what Master Cang said. The Six-fingered Black Man was involved in the battle between Qin and Yan for his own personal affairs, and was eventually killed by Yang Ming. He also implicated many Mohist disciples. This was the Six-Fingered Black Man. Having violated the ancestral precepts, the Mohist disciples had no reason to avenge him. More importantly, Yang Ming was not someone that the Mohist family could deal with. Even Yan Dan, who had the Qinglong in his hand, was crushed to death by Yang Ming. Yet?

In this way, the Mo family could only reveal the reason why the six-fingered black man died because of his private affairs. It cannot be said that the disciples of the Mo family dare not seek revenge from their enemies, right?

"How about I find a giant for your Mo family?" After listening to Master Cang's barely reasonable explanation, Yang Ming directly stated his purpose.

"You can't joke about this kind of thing." Master Cang said with a solemn expression. The inheritance of the position of giant is a matter of the Mo family. How can Yang Ming interfere?

"Except for my family, I rarely joke with others." Yang Ming said.

"It would be even scarier if it wasn't a joke." Master Cang said with a grimace. He suddenly thought, would he have fallen into a trap this time?

"The cultivation techniques on your Mohist giant's token can only be practiced by the giant and his descendants, right?" Yang Ming asked.

"There is indeed a set of exercises on Mo Mei that were passed down from the founder Mozi, but that set of exercises can be understood by other than the first three generations of ancestors. Starting from the fourth generation of giants, those who practice them are all deduced from them by the third generation of giants. Compared with the skills practiced by the founder Mozi, the skills are probably inferior." Master Cang said.

"No wonder the Mo family has not practiced martial arts to the state of universal love and achieved the position of grand master since the fourth generation of giants." Yang Ming said suddenly.

"If there is a person who can cultivate the skills on Mo Mei to the highest level, can he be able to assume the position of a giant of the Mo family?" Yang Ming asked again.

"Well, normally speaking, only a giant can cultivate the martial arts to the highest level, but it is not absolute. The inheritance of the Mohist giant's position is not only based on martial arts, but also on the understanding of the Mohist scriptures. There are many other standards depending on personal integrity and personal practice of Mohism." Master Cang said cautiously, vaguely he had already thought of a possibility, Mo Mei fell into Yang Ming's hands for so long, Yi Yang It is not too unusual for Ming to show his talent in the martial arts. From Mo Mei, he can understand the skills that only the great masters of the past generations of the Mo family have passed down.

In the future, the Mohist family is likely to have to face a situation like this: the person who has practiced the Mohist inherited skills to the best level is not a member of the Mohist family.

And this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that Yang Ming has made no secret of his intentions towards the Mo family in his words just now. Thinking of Yang Ming's strength, Master Cang's two old eyebrows wrinkled uncontrollably. .

"Oh, Master Cang really thinks too much. Even if your Moh family asks me to become a tycoon, I am not interested. Zuo Cheng of Qin State is quite good, so how can I be interested in becoming a tycoon of your Moh family?" Yang Ming said disgustedly, he could clearly see the wariness in Master Cang's eyes.

"What do you mean?" Master Cang asked tentatively.

"The little ones in the family will grow up in a few years. As a father, I have to arrange their future life paths." Yang Mingdao.

He also said that he had no intention of becoming a giant, and that he had planned everything for his son. Master Cang, who got the exact answer, did not feel even a trace of relief. Although Yang Ming's plan at this time was better than Yang Ming's direct attack on the Mo family, it was only the immediate execution of the death penalty and Qiu Hou's question. There is a difference in cutting, but it’s really not that big.

"You are the prime minister of the Qin State. When the boys in your family grow up, they will have a father like you. They are afraid that they will have no future. The high-ranking officials of the Qin State and their high salaries are just easy to get, so why let them join the Mo family? The Mo family But those who pay attention to asceticism, even giants, cannot talk about enjoyment in the material direction." Master Cang said, looking for an idea that could make Yang Ming change his mind.

"Perhaps there happens to be a boy in my family who likes martial arts? Ten years later, there will be a young man who practices the true Mohist master's inherited skills and returns to the Mohist family with the mechanism Qinglong. During these ten years, he will ask Master Cang for a favor and give him a gift by the way. This young man is creating momentum." Yang Mingtu said. Of course, no one knows this idiom now, because that story may never happen.

"I can't live for ten years." Master Cang said, feeling relieved. He didn't have a few years to live anyway. Yang Ming's plan had nothing to do with him to a certain extent.

"You can still live for about fifteen years. Don't underestimate the methods of the great master." Yang Ming looked at Master Cang and said, there is no one who can master the art of divination by the emperor in the world. It is something that the Yin and Yang family knows. , Yang Ming can do the same, but after all, he specializes in the art, and the current Yang Ming is still worse than Donghuang Taiyi.

Xianyang, Xianyang Palace, returned to Xianyang with the excitement of avenging shame. Before Li Xin returned home, he was summoned to Xianyang Palace by King Qin.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin, pays homage to your Majesty." In the main hall, Li Xin respectfully prostrated himself in front of Qin Wangzheng's case. Li Xin's loyalty to Qin Wangzheng was undoubtedly unquestionable. He was the first person to surrender to Qin Wangzheng, and he has indeed been loyal to Qin Wangzheng over the years. It is loyalty, but there are many things, and loyalty alone is not enough.

"You led eight hundred light cavalry, pursued for hundreds of miles, and captured Yan Wangxi and others, which is a great contribution." Qin Wangzheng looked at Li Xin in front of him and said in a calm tone, but there was disappointment in his eyes.

Li Xin has abilities, but his shortcomings are too obvious. This is a normal thing. A person cannot have only advantages and no shortcomings. As a king, he naturally uses his strengths and avoids his shortcomings for his ministers. It's just that while maximizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses, a minister can play his true role. This is the so-called shortcomings that cannot be concealed. Unfortunately, Li Xin cannot do this.

Even though Li Xin was defeated miserably at the hands of Li Mu last year, Qin Wangzheng still gave him the opportunity to follow Yang Ming, hoping that he could learn something. But unfortunately, Li Xin failed Qin Wangzheng. expectations.

"It's all for the king." After hearing Qin Wangzheng's praise, Li Xin said excitedly, not knowing what Qin Wangzheng was really thinking at this time.

"Li Xin, you are my confidant." Qin Wangzheng said quietly.

Li Xin was naturally excited to hear that Qin Wangzheng explicitly said that he was his confidant, and the excitement on his face was even more difficult to conceal.

But the next moment, Li Xin's excited expression completely froze on his face, because Qin Wangzheng had not finished what he said just now. At this time, he had already added the second half of the sentence: "Prime Minister Zuo also knew this, so he gave You had a chance, but you made me lose face with Prime Minister Zuo."

Let me lose face with Prime Minister Zuo? Let King Qin lose face? Such a thing? This kind of thing is very serious, more serious than losing your life.

At this time, the excitement just now was gone in Li Xin's heart, and there was only endless chill. What on earth did he do wrong?

At this time, Li Xin suddenly remembered his dull reaction when he reported his fault to Yang Ming, his former superior. At that time, he had not felt anything, but now he seemed to understand what Yang Ming's eyes were at that time. ?

It was a look with nothing to say.

Just what did I do wrong?

"After your defeat, I transferred him to the subordinates of Prime Minister Zuo. I hope you can learn something from him. But unfortunately, you failed to live up to my expectations of you. King Yan is happy. I and Prime Minister Zuo have no intention of arresting him. , Qin State has not yet thought of occupying Liaodong, and Liaodong is facing the threat of the Hu people. We need King Yan to be there to help Qin State defend the northern border for a few years. But now that he has been captured by you, Prime Minister Zuo must mobilize troops to capture him. Liaodong, this will cause a lot of trouble," Qin Wang Zhengdao said.

"You were greedy for your own merit, which caused Qin to have to adjust its strategy against Yan. You were as short-sighted as last year. If it weren't for your greed for merit, why would there be a big defeat?"

Qin Wangzheng's words were full of calmness, but when Li Xin heard it, he was sweating like rain even though it was already October weather.

"You should go back to Longxi County. There is still a shortage of a county captain there." Qin Wangzheng said the best decision for Li Xin.
