The Counterattack of the Villains

Outside the west wall of the Young Master's Mansion, Yi Xiaochuan sat on the driver's seat of a carriage and looked around, focusing mainly on the wall of the Mansion, feeling a little anxious.

The night curfew time was coming soon, and if Gao Yao didn't come, there would be guards patrolling the city once the night curfew time came, and he wouldn't be able to tell if he was bumped into.

Fortunately, it is winter now, it gets dark relatively early, and the night ban starts at 3 o'clock in the morning, which is around 7:36 pm in the future, so there is only more than half an hour left.

"Hey, what are you looking at!"

"Fuck."

Yi Xiaochuan kept looking in the direction of the palace wall, but unexpectedly a voice suddenly sounded from the other side, frightening him.

Huo Ran looked back and saw Li Mu raising his arms, carrying a large wooden box on each shoulder.

"Lao Gao, why are you walking silently? You look like a ghost. Where did you come from?"

While Yi Xiaochuan complained, he jumped off the seat and asked Li Mu to put the box on the carriage.

"Nonsense, if you can't even keep your steps light and strong, I'll practice shitty qigong."

Li Mu put the box away and said to Yi Xiaochuan: "All the gold, silver and jewelry I have saved since I took office are here. If I fold them into copper plates, I can probably get 13,000 to 4,000 pieces."

"Just for food and clothing, it's enough for tens of thousands of people to live for a few years. If you want to pay military salaries, purchase equipment, etc., you have to rely on yourself."

"Let's go! Hurry up and leave the city before the night ban starts. Tell me your address when you come back and I'll find a chance to go there."

Yi Xiaochuan patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said: "Okay, by the way, Lao Cui wants to meet you and discuss medical skills with you. You should go see him tomorrow when you have time!"

Li Mudao: "I know, I will go to see him tomorrow, please be careful."

"Well, let's go." Yi Xiaochuan sat on the driver's seat again, shook the reins, and the horse pulled the cart and trotted away in the direction of leaving the city.

Cui Wenzi is related to whether Li Mu can get the elixir in the future, so naturally he has to have a good relationship with him.

Although it is impossible for him to develop a vaccine, it would be better for the people of this world to hand over some advanced medical theories and prescriptions to him.

Because Cui Wenzi is a real doctor, which is different from him, a warrior who is proficient in medical skills.

Only in his hands can medical skills be truly used to treat illnesses and save people, and save more people.

…

Early the next morning, Li Mu followed Fusu to go to court.

Unsurprisingly, Li Mu received great praise from the First Emperor during this court meeting, and his title was upgraded to Da Shang Zao, also known as Daliang Zao, with his annual salary increased to 5,000 dendrobium, which is equivalent to fifteen strings.

Measured by the standards of later generations, it is almost equivalent to an annual salary of about 1.8 million.

In addition, there was a bounty of 500 yi, five measures of pearls, ten pieces of silk, and other properties, which were worth almost ten years of his annual tribute.

Because Li Mu was not greedy for power and did not want to be appointed an official, the First Emperor was very generous in terms of titles and financial rewards.

Li Mu took the opportunity to propose that the two maids in Concubine Li's palace were the lost sisters of his sworn sister Yu Ji, so he wanted to ask the First Emperor to let them out of the palace to reunite with their sisters.

The First Emperor naturally didn't care about this trivial matter, and agreed casually, and A Lian and Xiao Lan were able to leave the palace with Li Mu.

Nowadays, although Li Mu is only one of the "little nine ministers", even the three ministers and nine ministers have begun to befriend him, especially Prime Minister Li Si.

All these old foxes in the court could see Li Mu's potential. Now that he has won the trust of the First Emperor, if Su is promoted to the throne in the future, his power will directly reach the top.

Befriending a person who is destined to have power in the future in advance will bring you all the benefits and no harm.

Now there is no Gao Yao stirring things up in the palace, Zhao Gao no longer exists, and Li Si has no other thoughts.

Because everyone already knows that Qin II will most likely be Fusu, and no other prince can compete with him.

Li Mu, with other thoughts, also deliberately made friends with Li Si. This person is also a very useful chess piece and will probably be used in the future.

After the dynasty was over, Li Mu told Fusu that he was going to meet a folk miracle doctor to discuss medical skills with him, and asked Fusu to take Alian and Xiaolan back first.

Fusu readily agreed. The higher Li Mu's medical skills were, the greater the benefit would be to Da Qin, and he would also benefit from it.

Having Li Mu in the Young Master's Mansion is also a huge guarantee for him.

Cui Wenzi was very happy to see Li Mu. As soon as he sat down, he started asking Li Mu about the vaccine.

Li Mu first talked to him about the immune system and taught him some advanced medical theories. Cui Wenzi listened and wrote. After a whole day, he memorized a thick stack of paper.

Yi Xiaochuan came to look at them on the way, but did not disturb them, and left immediately after having a meal. He was going to be busy with the purchase of Zhuangzi and the purchase of slaves.

Li Mu didn't let him buy more. A hundred or ten people were enough, and a few coins could be used to buy it. Too many people would easily alert the court.

After letting Cui Wenzi understand the relationship between the immune system and the plague, Li Mu began to explain the nature of the plague.

When Cui Wenzi knew that the plague was just an extremely tiny insect that was invisible to the naked eye, he already understood that he could not make a vaccine.

When he asked where the vaccines that Li Mu and Yi Xiaochuan received came from, Li Mu unceremoniously blamed Peng Zu.

Cui Wenzi was not too surprised that Peng Zu could live for three thousand years, and even felt that it was not enough.

Because if he refines the elixir, he can still live for thirty thousand years, not to mention three thousand years.

He just expressed his admiration for Peng Zu's medical skills, especially the Qigong guidance method.

Without saying a word, Li Mu also passed on the Yi Jin Gu Teng Pian and Huashan Neigong to Cui Wenzi.

Today, these investments are all profitable. Even if the plot changes in the future and the First Emperor no longer asks for the elixir, I believe Cui Wenzi will not forget his share after he masters the elixir.

Li Mu communicated with Cui Wenzi for three days. On the first day, they exchanged medical theories, and on the second day, they exchanged disease classification and mainstream plague types.

On the third day, Li Mu taught Cui Wenzi many prescriptions for later generations and asked him to record them.

Compared with Yi Xiaochuan, who was just a close friend with similar temperaments, Li Mu is now both a teacher and a friend to Cui Wenzi.

After all, Li Mushi actually taught him a lot.

Three days later, Cui Wenzi said goodbye and left.

He wanted to find a place to retreat for some time, digest what he learned from Li Mu, and then rely on the prescriptions given by Li Mu to practice medicine all over the world and save more people.

Li Mu's life returned to its previous trajectory.

Go to court in the morning, spend some time in the morning dealing with the government affairs of the Young Master's Mansion, and take care of A Lian and Xiao Lan, who have just started to learn martial arts.

In the afternoon, he will go to Luo Wang's training base to supervise Luo Wang's killer to practice martial arts.

From time to time, he would perform a soul-transferring technique on the Net Killers to deepen their loyalty to him, which is the so-called deep brainwashing.

After more than a month, Yi Xiaochuan's preparations were also completed.

Because he only bought a hundred slaves, and he purchased them in batches at different places, he did not attract the attention of others.

There were one hundred and twenty slaves in total, ranging in age from seventeen to twenty-three.

Since it was Yi Xiaochuan who bought them, they called Yi Xiaochuan their master.

Yi Xiaochuan still continued the bad taste in the original plot, organizing these slaves into the "Flying Tigers" and letting the slaves call him Captain.

But apart from the time when Yi Xiaochuan was bought and when Li Mu went to see them, Yi Xiaochuan met them every day, they rarely saw Yi Xiaochuan again after that.

Because Yi Xiaochuan himself also needed to practice, he naturally had no time to care about them, so he completely left these people to Li Mu for training.

Li Mu spent his evening time every day teaching them from the first to the third watch, and during the day he let them practice martial arts on their own in Zhuangzi.

There is no doubt that these slaves have not escaped the soul-transferring method.

In front of Yi Xiaochuan, they called him Instructor Li Mu according to Yi Xiaochuan's request, but in private they called him "Lord".

Although they will follow Yi Xiaochuan to conquer the world in the future, their actual allegiance is to Li Mu.

In the future, Yi Xiaochuan's army will be controlled by people like them. In other words, all the wealth that Yi Xiaochuan raised was actually used to make wedding clothes for Li Mu.

Naturally, the members of the Flying Tigers also practiced the Nine Yin Package, but Yi Xiaochuan didn't notice it at all.

Li Mu gave him a vaccination, saying that the martial arts he learned from Xiang Liang was already good enough, but what he lacked was just strength.

As long as you increase your strength and accumulate internal energy, your martial arts will naturally improve.

Yi Xiaochuan thought so too, so he only practiced Yi Jin Tong Gu Pian and Huashan Neigong every day, and did not learn martial arts from Li Mu.

What he didn't know was that among the martial arts taught by Li Mu, the one that increased the combat power the most was actually the body technique, not the martial arts moves themselves.

Since he started training those slaves, Li Mu would take a few swords from Luo Wang's spare weapons arsenal every day, so that after three months, all members of the Flying Tigers would have one.

In addition, he sent a batch of spearheads from time to time and asked them to make suitable spear shafts to make spears.

If you don't have a spear for the time being, you can use a sharpened wooden stick instead and learn the marksmanship of the Zhong family from him.

…

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and history has advanced to the summer of the thirty-first year of Qin Shi Huang.

The members of the Flying Tigers have already mastered everything they need to learn, and the rest is just to continue to deepen their skills, and they are somewhat advanced in martial arts.

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Mu told Yi Xiaochuan that it was time to set off.

He doesn't have much time left. If he wants to let the First Emperor die early, he only has three or four years left.

He has to subdue all the bandits in Yunmeng Daze within these three or four years, twist them into a unified force, and train them to fight. Time is already very tight.

Yi Xiaochuan finally got drunk with Li Mu, and left Xianyang with the Flying Tigers the next day for Jingchu.

Looking back at the magnificent Xianyang City from a distance, Yi Xiaochuan secretly swore in his heart that he would come back as soon as possible.

In the past six months, the number of killers in the net has also increased a lot, reaching more than 330 people.

Li Mu secretly controlled thirty young eunuchs in the Prince's Mansion and taught them the eunuch version of the "Sunflower Book" privately.

Eunuchs are not only found in the imperial palace, but also in all major princes' mansions, especially Mr. Fusu's mansion. There are quite a lot of them, more than two hundred people. They are mainly responsible for the Fusu courtyard.

Normally, only they and the maid could enter and exit the inner courtyard of Fusu at will. Others with special authority were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard.

As for security issues, if someone can pass through the many guards and reach the inner courtyard, then even having guards guard the inner courtyard is of no use.

Because of the special nature of the "Sunflower Collection", these thirty eunuchs can be said to be Li Mu's absolute confidants and core force.

They only need to practice for four or five months before they can finish off the Snare Killer who has been practicing for more than a year.

…

In the second month after Yi Xiaochuan left Xianyang, after more than half a year of preparation and deliberation, the Juxiantang project was finally launched successfully, and it also received the support of the First Emperor.

Fusu General's order to recruit wise men from all over the world was published all over the world. For a time, the Qin Dynasty was moved by it, and people from all over the country who thought they had special skills rushed to Xianyang.

Naturally, some remnants of the Six Kingdoms came, but they were all from the middle and lower classes, and their real purpose of coming was not that simple, and they definitely did not really want to serve the Qin Dynasty.

The only real high-level nobles who came after the famous general Xiang Yan of Chu State, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle arrived, and the high-level nobles of the other five countries did not show up.

Juxian Hall was officially opened, and Liu Bang's death came.

Li Mu drew more than a dozen sketches of Liu Bang with charcoal, and sent a team of killers to guard the official road outside Xianyang City to investigate secretly.

Li Mu ordered that once the person in the portrait is found, he should take it down immediately and report it immediately.

Because he wanted to kill Liu Bang with his own hands, and this was the only way to ensure that there would be no accidents.

After all, this guy was considered a son of destiny. Li Mu would not be at ease unless he personally confirmed his death.

As time goes by, talented people from all over the country arrive one after another. They can arrive within a few days if they are close by, or more than a month if they are far away.

Peixian County is two thousand miles away from Xianyang. More than forty days later, Liu Bang appeared outside Xianyang City on horseback, followed by a carriage driven by a boy.

More than thirty miles away on the eastern outskirts of Xianyang City, when Liu Bang and his carriage were passing through an official road between a forest of trees, someone suddenly jumped out from the side of the road without warning and blocked the way.

One after another, twenty people finally jumped out of the forest.

These twenty people were dressed in black attire, each holding a sheathed sword in their left hand. They stood tall and straight, with a calm demeanor, surrounding Liu Bang and the carriage in a fan shape.

Liu Bang was startled, and he quickly reined in his horse and shouted subconsciously: "Fellow heroes, if you are asking for money, it's easy to talk about it, but don't do anything."

However, the twenty men in black were not moved at all, which made Liu Bang realize that these people did not look like thieves who cut off the roads, but more like warriors raised by powerful families.

The leader of the snare killer unfolded a piece of paper in his hand, looked at it, and then looked at Liu Bang, with a smile on his face.

He looked at Liu Bang on the horse and said pleasantly: "Your Excellency, are you Mr. Liu Bang and Liu?"

This is the difference between the Snare Killers and ordinary warriors. Under Li Mu's teachings, they use their brains to deal with things rather than act recklessly.

In this case, it is often better to show goodwill first, but it is easier to get real information and confirm the identity of the other party than to threaten.

Liu Bang was very surprised. He didn't know anyone in Xianyang, and the other party actually called him by name.

And it seems that he is not looking for trouble. After all, the sword is not unsheathed and he speaks very kindly.

He cupped his fists and said, "I am Liu Bang, who are you?"

The leader smiled and said: "My master wants to see Mr. Liu and has specially ordered me to come here to wait for you. Please also ask Mr. to accompany me for a while."

While they were talking, the door curtain of the carriage was opened, and Lu Gong and Lu Fei's father and daughter leaned out from inside.

After hearing what the leader said, Lu Zhi took the initiative and asked: "This strong man, may I ask who your master is?"

The leader said: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I will know when Mr. Liu goes there. In short, if Mr. Liu has real talent and knowledge, my master will definitely give you a fortune."

Both Liu Bang and Lu Fei had an idea in their hearts. No matter who the other person was, it would be a good idea to meet him. No matter whether his talent could catch the other person's eye, it was still an opportunity.

Liu Bang said happily: "In that case, please lead the way, brother."

The leader looked at Lu Gong and Lu Pheasant and said, "I wonder who these two are?"

Liu Bang's eyes flashed and he said: "These are my future father-in-law and wife, not outsiders."

Naturally, Lu Gong and Lu Zhi would not refute at this time. If Liu Bang really became famous because of this, then they would admit it.

The leader pondered for a moment and then said: "Originally, my master only invited Mr. Liu, but since we are members of Mr. Liu's family, it doesn't matter, let's go together!"

"After all, a family should be neat and tidy at all times. Please follow me down!"

Neatly?

Both Liu Bang and Lu Fei were speechless.

The words used by this man are really difficult to describe, but considering that he looks like a martial artist, it is not surprising that he has no knowledge.

Little did the leader know that he casually said something interesting to the Lord, but was treated as illiterate.

The leader led a few people to lead the way, while the others were divided into two teams and walked on both sides of the carriage.

The posture was like that of Liu Bang and his entourage, which made Lu Fei feel a strange feeling in his heart.

What she yearns for most in her life is to be in a high position and be surrounded by people. It would be great if these people were really the guards of their family.

But she also knew that whether she could live such a life now depended on Liu Bang, hoping that he could pass the test of that mysterious powerful man.

Not far after walking along the official road, the Snare Killers led Liu Bang and the carriage onto a forest path and headed deeper into the forest.

After walking through a forest for about seven or eight miles, a village surrounded by green trees appeared in front of them.

The leader said to the men behind him: "Go, open the middle door and report to the master that Mr. Liu has arrived."

"promise."

Liu Bang couldn't help but feel a little carried away when he saw this. It seemed that this mysterious powerful man valued him very much.

After dismounting in front of the gate, the three of them walked into Zhuangzi through the middle gate at the respectful invitation of the leader.

Then the gate closed, but they didn't see that at the moment the gate closed, the boy who was driving the carriage was pulled out of the carriage with his mouth and nose covered, and his neck was wiped with a sword.

This Zhuangzi is the place where Yi Xiaochuan set up and trained the Flying Tigers.

Now, nature has become Li Mu's secret base. After Yi Xiaochuan left, Li Mu bought a new batch of slaves and secretly trained them here.

Luo Wang is a force that belongs to Fusu on the surface. In addition, Li Mu has also formed an organization that belongs only to him - Ye Mu.

The core members of Ye Mu are the thirty eunuchs, and the newly purchased slaves are all members of Ye Mu.

Precisely because this Zhuangzi is so important to Li Mu, outsiders who come here have only two options: either become Li Mu's people or die.

And people like Liu Bang are enemies, so naturally there is only one way to die.

The moment Liu Bang and three others entered Zhuangzi, passed through the front yard, and entered the atrium, the leader suddenly changed his face and shouted: "Tied."

The snare killers who followed them in immediately swarmed up and captured the three Liu Bangs respectively. Someone took ropes and tied up the three Liu Bangs whose arms were pinned behind their backs.

The three of them turned pale with shock, and Liu Bang said angrily: "What are you doing? Is this how you treat guests?"

"Haha..." The leader chuckled and said, "You are right, this is our way of hospitality."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the mouths of the three of them were immediately stuffed with cloths, and they were escorted down.

Someone has already gone to report to Li Mu. Their mission was successfully completed, and they only need to hand over the person to Li Mu for disposal.
