The Counterattack of the Villains

When Li Mu returned to the residence of the Young Master's Mansion, he saw Xiaoyue and Ying Yinman practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Ying Yinman is not interested in boxing or marksmanship, but only has a special liking for swordsmanship.

She has been practicing the Yijinshundongguan chapter for several months, and now the weight of Da Qin's iron sword has dropped significantly, and she can control it easily.

One of them teaches attentively, the other learns seriously, and their progress is quite slow, and they have already achieved some results.

Seeing Li Mu coming back, the two stopped teaching and greeted with a smile: "Gao Qing (brother)."

Li Mu stepped forward to greet her: "I have met Her Highness the Princess."

Ying Yinman waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, my brother just sent someone to tell me that when you come back, he will ask you to see him immediately and discuss important matters with you."

Li Mu said: "I'll go see the young master first, Xiaoyue, pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't tire the princess."

Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Don't worry, brother, the princess can endure hardships more than you think."

Ying Yinman laughed when he heard this, with a slight color on his face.

When Li Mu saw this, he was secretly amused. Does practicing swordsmanship mean you can endure hardship? If you were asked to practice according to the methods of this world, I wonder if you would still be so proud.

However, there was no strange expression on his face. He just smiled and praised: "After all, the tiger father has no dog daughter. Your Majesty personally led troops and went to the battlefield back then. How could Her Majesty be so bad?"

"Then you guys practice hard! I'll go see what the master has ordered first."

Li Mu left his yard, asked someone where Fusu was, and then walked over.

At this time, Fusu was in the study, kneeling behind the desk and holding a scroll of bamboo slips.

Seeing Gao Yao coming back, he put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said with a smile: "Gao Qing is meeting an old friend, why did he come back so soon? Didn't he have a good drink?"

After all, paper had just been invented not long ago. Although Li Mu had thrown out "movable type printing", printing books still took some time.

After all, it will take a certain amount of time to convert all the bamboo slips into books.

Li Mu knelt down opposite Fusu and said with a smile: "My old friend has been in a bad mood recently and has no intention of chatting. I gave you a few words of advice and then came back. What are your orders, Master?"

Meeting friends was Li Mu's private matter, but Fu Su had no interest in it, and he only expressed his slight concern when he asked.

Fusu said enthusiastically: "Gao Qing, do you still remember that when you and I first met, we discussed how to resolve the hatred of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms against Da Qin and make them return to their hearts?"

Li Mu nodded and said: "Of course I remember, hasn't Young Master been doing it in recent years?"

Fusu sighed and said: "Although I have been doing this, the results have been very little. The main reason is that the survivors of the Six Kingdoms are scattered all over the place. I have no way to start. After all, there are only a few people living in Xianyang."

"So recently I have an idea and want to discuss it with Gao Qing."

Li Mu stretched out his hand and said, "Master, please speak."

Fusu said: "I plan to open a 'Jixian Hall' to recruit virtuous people from all over the world to serve the country, with an emphasis on recruiting survivors from the Six Nations."

"After we gather the people together, we will try to resolve the grudges in their hearts one by one. What does Gao Qing want?"

"Well..." Li Mu frowned slightly and said nothing, as if he was thinking seriously.

Fusu didn't rush him and let him think about it.

After all, this matter is of great importance, and it is inevitable that his own thoughts may be ill-considered. Li Mu is a talented person, and his opinions are very important.

Of course, the influence of the soul-moving method is also a major reason. In Fusu's subconscious, Li Mu is the most trustworthy person in the world and his biggest reliance.

After a moment, Li Mu said: "Young Master, this idea is a great one. Instead of letting the survivors of the Six Kingdoms scatter around the world and not knowing what they are planning secretly, it is better to gather them together and put them under your nose."

"It will be great if you can let go of your hatred by then and use them to my advantage. Even if they cannot be conquered, at least we can keep track of their whereabouts."

Fusu suddenly realized that he was too lenient, but he didn't think about it in this direction. He just thought that the survivors of the Six Nations were scattered in various places, and he had no chance to resolve their grudges one by one.

Gathering people together in this way also made it easier for him to attack, but he didn't expect that this move would have such benefits.

He said happily: "So Gao Qing thinks this is feasible?"

Li Mu smiled and nodded: "Young Master's move will be of great benefit to the Qin Dynasty, so it is certainly feasible. However, Young Master is benevolent and righteous, but I cannot guarantee that everyone will follow our benevolence and righteousness."

"So these precautionary measures are necessary. Otherwise, if someone pretends to be a coward and takes power in a high position, the harm to the Qin Dynasty may be greater than causing chaos in the wild."

When he said these words, Li Mu felt very strange and awkward in his heart, because no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was talking about himself.

Fusu's heart trembled, and he said solemnly: "Gao Qing's concerns are not unreasonable. I wonder what Gao Qing thinks, how should we take precautions?"

Li Mudao: "It's very simple. Establish a secret intelligence organization to secretly monitor the survivors of the Six Nations."

"People in this organization must be proficient in concealment and disguise. We are on guard against the remnants of the Six Nations, but we must not let them know that we are on guard against them."

"We can remove the surveillance of those who can be sure that they have truly returned home. Those who behave differently will continue to be monitored. If there is any abnormality, we will take down them immediately and decisively."

"In this way, nothing will happen."

"This..." Fusu was a little hesitant about this proposal. He accepted other people's submissions but also took precautions against them. This was contrary to his values.

Li Mu knew what he was thinking at the first glance, and began to persuade: "I know that the master has always believed that you should not use people you doubt, and employ people without suspicion. Only in this way can you win the heartfelt support of others."

"This is indeed true for the people of Qin, because their vital interests are closely tied to Da Qin. Only when Da Qin is strong can they live a better life."

"But for the aristocratic remnants of the six countries, their pursuit is to regain their own country and become powerful themselves. After all, there are only a few people who truly love the people."

Fusu said solemnly: "What Gao Qing said is reasonable, but now our Qin army has more food and supplies. Because of Gao Qing's contribution, the military strength has also undergone earth-shaking changes. It is much stronger."

"How many troops can the remnants of the six countries gather together if they unite? Their desire to restore the country is simply a dream, using a mantis as a chariot. How can they be so unwise?"

Li Mu sighed softly and said: "Young Master, I regard you as my heart. I am willing to tell you some things that I shouldn't say. I ask you to think about it carefully."

Hearing this, Fusu said happily: "Gao Qing regards me as his confidant, and I also regard Gao Qing as my brother. You can speak frankly, but I will never blame you."

Mencius said: If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit.

Li Mu said seriously: "I dare to ask, Master, how do you think the people are living in today's world?"

Fusu said: "Now that the world is unified, the old situation of the wars between the various countries is no longer the same. Except for the occasional intrusion by foreign tribes in the border areas, most people can still live and work in peace and contentment, and have no worries about food and clothing."

Li Mu nodded and said: "Yes, now the people are not burdened by the war. As long as they are not lazy, there is no problem in having food and clothing."

"But in recent years, the Qin Dynasty has had heavy corvee labor, and the people have been miserable, especially during the construction of the Great Wall. I don't know how many families have been destroyed because of this."

"We all know that Your Majesty built the Great Wall and built straight roads to resist foreigners. In the final analysis, it was to protect the people of Qin from foreign invasion."

"But how can the people understand so many great righteousnesses? If someone with intentions takes advantage of it and incites the people to rise up, then the world will be in flames and the Qin Dynasty will be in danger."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Fusu Leng broke into a sweat. He was just kind and kind, but he was not stupid. He knew that Li Mu was not an alarmist.

Nowadays, the world has been unified for only a few years, but the remnants of the Six Kingdoms still have a high reputation in the land of the Six Kingdoms.

If there really is an uprising and the six countries join forces to attack the Qin Dynasty, even if the Qin Dynasty has a million troops, even if they can suppress the rebellion, their vitality will definitely be severely damaged.

If there are more remnants of the Six Kingdoms who hold high positions, hold great power, secretly help the rebels, and cooperate with each other internally and externally, then the Qin Dynasty is really in danger of overthrowing.

Fusu finally compromised and said: "Gao Qing has thought carefully. If you hadn't woken me up, I would have almost ruined everything."

"According to what Gao Qing said, we formed a secret organization to monitor the survivors of the Six Kingdoms. This matter will be left to Gao Qing with full authority. Gao Qing can choose the guards and soldiers in the palace."

There are only guards and soldiers in the house? Is that enough to get a hammer?

Li Mu lowered his head slightly and said: "Nuo, Master, this organization monitors the survivors of the Six Kingdoms. It is only for the initial stage of its establishment."

"My subordinates are thinking that since His Majesty lives deep in the palace, everything in the world is known only through reports from his ministers. If someone is bold enough to deceive superiors and deceive subordinates, they will inevitably be deceived."

"So your Majesty must have your own 'ears' and 'eyes'."

"If the young master ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, this organization will be able to monitor the world for the young master and allow the young master to control the world's situation at any time. For Da Qin, it will be a hundred benefits without any harm."

"So we cannot be short-sighted and only focus on the present, but we must make plans for the future."

"It doesn't matter if we are short of manpower. We can choose from the children of slaves. Those who have been trained since childhood will be more loyal to the Young Master and Da Qin."

Hearing this, Fusu felt that it made sense and said happily: "What Gao Qing said is absolutely true. You can handle this matter according to your own ideas! If you need anything, just ask and I will try my best to cooperate."

"By the way, how does Gao Qing plan to name this organization?"

A flash of light flashed across Li Mu's eyes, and he said, "How about we call it 'Luo Wang'?"

"I am willing to build a world-wide network for you, so that thousands of miles of mountains and rivers will be within the palm of your hand."

Fusu, who was as calm as a man, was also a little excited by Li Mu's words, and praised him: "What a snare, Gao Qing, with you, I am better than a hundred thousand troops."

Li Mu bowed slightly and said: "Young Master is over-rewarded and wants to live this life. I only wish to serve the Young Master and serve the Qin Dynasty with my whole life, and then die."

Hearing the words "Dedicate yourself to death, you will die", Fusu was deeply moved. It was his good fortune to support Su and the great Qin Dynasty to be able to serve him.

What he didn't see was the flash of a sinister smile on the face of Li Mu who was bowing his head.

Although Fusu trusted him so unreservedly because he was influenced by his soul-moving technique, he himself was too easy to trust others.

An espionage organization that spans the world is a terrifying force that can overthrow a dynasty.

He felt a little embarrassed for handing over authority to him so easily.

But I'm sorry, but the Qin Dynasty must be destroyed. Otherwise, if the Han Dynasty does not appear and history changes drastically, what should we do if Gao Lan is really wiped out?

…

Juxian Tang Fusu is currently only a preliminary idea. It will take at least half a year to prepare for its actual opening, which involves all aspects.

If it really starts to open, it will be next year.

Therefore, these six months are the opportunity for Li Mu to train the members of Luowang.

He built a new house with a large area in a quiet place in the south of Xianyang City. With the power of the Gongzi Mansion, this was naturally not a problem.

Immediately, two hundred relatively young people were selected from the guards and soldiers of the Prince's Mansion, including fifty guards and one hundred and fifty soldiers.

These two hundred people will become the seeds of the snare. Li Mu obviously wants to replicate the success of the Tianlong World in this world.

As long as he can cultivate a large number of masters who are loyal to him, he will have the ability to influence the world's situation.

In the world of Tianlong, there are other martial arts masters who can pose a threat to Changkong disciples.

But in this world, the people he trained will be more invincible, and no one can survive their assassination.

It doesn't take ten or eight years, at most five years is enough. Faced with assassins who can fly over walls and come and go without a trace, people in this world basically have no solution.

Some people may say, what if they arranged for a large number of crossbowmen to be delivered to your door?

Sorry, people with internal skills have sharp ears and eyes, and a large number of people lying in wait cannot escape their eyes and ears.

They will choose to kill all the crossbowmen who are ambushing you first, and then kill you calmly.

What's more, assassins usually operate at night, and visibility is unclear at night, so what's the point of arranging crossbowmen?

Li Mu has nothing to worry about in terms of strength, let alone loyalty.

No matter how loyal these two hundred people were to Fusu before, after undergoing the baptism of the Soul Transferring Technique, their first target of loyalty will eventually become Li Mu.

When Li Mu and Fusu were in the same camp, they were naturally loyal to Fusu.

But once Li Mu and Fusu become opposing camps, they will undoubtedly choose to side with Li Mu.

In fact, for these guards and soldiers, it does not matter whether they are loyal to their master or not. The so-called loyalty is just in exchange for living space.

But loyalty to Li Mu comes from the subconscious. To put it more loftily, it comes from the instinct deep in the soul, and is the gene engraved in the bones.

As Li Mu's skills became more and more profound, the soul-moving method became more and more incomprehensible.

To eliminate the influence of the soul-moving technique, unless there is a person who has higher skill than him and is also proficient in thaumaturgy similar to the soul-moving technique.

Not to mention that such people do not exist in this world, even in the world of Tianlong, they also do not exist.

The skills used to train members of the Luo Sheng are still the "Nine Yin Manual Package", namely: the Yijin Jinshu Forging Bones, the Nine Yin Magical Skills, the Snake Walking and the Beaver Technique, the Gecko Walking on the Wall Skill, the Sky Sword Technique, and the Great Demon Subduing Fist.

Because this set of exercises is the fastest effective, a group of third-rate warriors can be trained in three to five years.

A third-rate martial artist in the world of martial arts is considered a top master in this world, completely surpassing the so-called pre-Qin Qi masters.

After all, those Qi refiners seek immortality, not warriors who mainly focus on improving their combat power.

After all, this is Mortal Qin, not Immortal Qin.

…

For half a month, Yi Xiaochuan never came to see him, but Li Mu kept paying attention to his movements.

Meng Tian had already gone to see him, so naturally he didn't look good on him.

In the original plot, he was helpless and didn't take Meng Tian seriously. Now that he has Gao Yao, a good brother, as his backing, how can he treat Meng Tian?

He was already vaguely hostile to Da Qin because of Li Mu's words.

It's just that the hostility still needs a catalyst to completely explode.

After making Meng Tian angry and go away, Yi Xiaochuan met the slave Sambo who was beaten by his master as in the original drama, took a follower, and then met Cui Wenzi.

This Cui Wenzi was not made up by some movie or TV show. He actually existed in history. He was a famous medical scientist in the pre-Qin period.

Because of his superb medical skills and countless living lives, the people regarded him as a deity, so he was recorded in the "Biographies of Immortals". There is also a record about him in the "Sou Shen Ji" of the Jin Dynasty.

In the twenty-eighth year of Qin Shihuang, that is, before Li Mu replaced him, Xu Fu had already taken three thousand boys and girls out to sea to search for the elixir, but they never returned.

In the drama "Myth", it was Cui Wenzi who successfully refined the elixir of life, allowing Yi Xiaochuan, Gao Yao and Yu Shu to live for more than two thousand years.

During this half month, Yi Xiaochuan drank and had fun with Cui Wenzi every day, practiced drunken boxing and drunken sword, and seemed to have temporarily forgotten Yu Shu.

Li Mu didn't know what to say. This guy was definitely not someone who could achieve anything.

Indecisiveness, the kindness of a woman.

He wants beauty but is unwilling to fight for it. If he continues like this, Li Mu won't even know where to start.

In the past half month, neither Fusu nor Li Mu went to court because the First Emperor was not in court. He took Li Si to Lanchi for a private visit.

During this period, a plague broke out in the palace, and Yushu's palace was the hardest hit area.

Lang Zhongling, who was in charge of the Imperial Guards, made a prompt decision and ordered Concubine Li's palace to be sealed off. No one was allowed to leave the palace gate to avoid the spread of the plague.

The palace was surrounded by imperial guards. If anyone dared to leave the palace privately, the imperial guards would draw their swords and kill anyone without asking the reason.

Because the news was tightly blocked and the ministers did not enter the palace to attend court, no one outside the world knew the news, not even Fusu.

When the First Emperor returned to the palace and learned the news, no one in Yushu Palace was spared, and all of them had been infected with the plague.

The imperial doctors were helpless, and many of them even contracted the plague and died. The imperial doctor Cheng failed in treating the disease and was sentenced to death by the First Emperor.

The imperial doctor was so anxious all day long that his hair turned white from worry.

The First Emperor had no choice but to post an imperial list and seek folk doctors.

After receiving the news, Li Mu did not rush to take action, but secretly prepared a large amount of medicinal materials and made preparations.

He wanted to wait until Yi Xiaochuan got the blood of the sweaty BMW Heifeng and the deep sea night pearl in the palace, and then he would take action.

When watching the play, Li Mu already knew that the plague that broke out in the palace was a type of influenza.

In modern times, influenza is a disease with high incidence but low fatality rate, but in this ancient era, it was a serious disease with no cure, and even Cui Wenzi was unable to cure it on a large scale.

But Li Mu has at least three prescriptions that can treat this kind of flu.

Even if his prescriptions are ineffective for the condition, he still has the last insurance, which is Nine Yang Qi.

It's just that there are too many people in the palace who are infected with the disease. If they are treated with internal energy, no matter how powerful they are, they will still be unable to bear it.

However, he was confident that his prescription would be able to cure the plague. After all, there were already successful examples in Swordsman World.

The reason why he had to wait for Yi Xiaochuan to get those two things was because those two things were two of the ingredients for the elixir master.

Li Mu secretly stared at Yi Xiaochuan. When he got the horse blood and luminous pearls and exchanged them with Cui Wenzi for medicine, he first asked Fusu for orders to go to the palace for treatment.

…

Xianyang Palace.

The First Emperor walked around anxiously, feeling a little agitated. All the servants in the palace remained silent and did not dare to express their anger.

"It's been a few days, and no one dares to reveal the emperor's list? Okay, I'll give you another reward, but I don't believe it. My Great Qin doesn't even have a famous doctor who can cure the plague."

As soon as he finished speaking, a chamberlain walked into the palace with small but hurried steps, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fusu and Zhan Shijun want to see you."

The First Emperor's eyes lit up. He remembered that Fu Su had said that Gao Yao was known as a scholar, a martial artist, and a master of medicine, divination, and astrology. Could he have some idea?

"Quick announcement."

"promise."

The chamberlain exited the palace, and Fusu quickly led Li Mu into the palace. When he saw Li Mu carrying large and small bags in his hands, the First Emperor couldn't help but hope for a promotion.

"My child pays homage to his father."

"I see your Majesty."

The First Emperor waved his hand and said: "No gifts, no gifts, Gao Aiqing, what are you carrying here?"

Li Mu said: "Your Majesty, this is a good medicine for treating plague that I have prepared."

The First Emperor said happily: "Are you sure?"

Li Mu said cautiously: "Originally, I sent you a medicine. This medicine is only available in Julu, Qibei, Langya, Kuaiji and other counties."

"If this medicine is available, combined with acupuncture, I am 90% sure that the plague in the palace can be cured. Without this medicine, I am only 60-70% sure."

"But now that Concubine Li is critically ill, I don't have time to look for medicine anymore, so I have to give it a try."

"With Your Majesty's grace, my empress is blessed by the good fortune of our country, Great Qin. She will be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and adversity into good fortune."

The First Emperor was overjoyed when he heard this and said happily: "Ai Qing said it well. I am sure of 60-70% confidence. You should try your best."

Li Mu bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will live up to Your Majesty's trust. If I cannot cure Concubine Li's illness, I will most likely be infected with the plague and die. If I don't succeed this time, I will be benevolent."

After hearing this, the First Emperor walked up to Li Mu, slapped his shoulders heavily with both hands, and said solemnly: "You must succeed, otherwise my losses will be too heavy, go ahead!"

"promise."

Just at this time, another chamberlain came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the doctor who unveiled the list has finally arrived."

The First Emperor waved his hand impatiently and said: "Keep them away, I already have a good doctor like Gao Aiqing. I don't mind those wild doctors who want to come here to win rewards."

"promise."

"Wait a minute."

The chamberlain was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Mu. He said to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, I happen to need a helper to help me brew the medicine. Why don't you let the person who unveiled the list go with me?"

"That's fine." The First Emperor had no objections and said to the chamberlain, "Then just let the man go to Concubine Li's palace instead of coming to see me."

"promise."

Li Mu took the medicine and went to Yushu's palace to wait, while the chamberlain went to the palace gate to pick up Cui Wenzi and Yi Xiaochuan.

When the two of them arrived at the palace and saw Li Mu covered in baggage, they couldn't help but be surprised.
