The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

The banquet began.

When the famous dish of shark's fin and bear's paw, which is famous in Qilu land, was served by the servant, the three heads of the Confucian family had long lost their interest in eating.

Although the famous dishes are delicious, they are tasteless to the three masters.

During the banquet, Shi Lan, as a servant, served wine and food to Ying Ziyi and the three heads of the Confucian family.

Fu Nian didn't squint his eyes and sat upright. He toasted a glass of wine to Ying Ziyi and said, "Your Highness, I wonder where you will stay during this visit to Songhai?"

"This is the Haiyue Villa." Ying Ziyi picked up the wine bottle and gave an answer that surprised everyone.

"This..." Fu Nian hesitated for a moment, then said, "There seems to be something wrong!"

You know, although this Haiyue Xiaozhu is good, it is not a good place to stay. It's not that there are no imperial palaces in Songhai. Living there is heavily guarded. The forces that are ready to move here will not overestimate their capabilities.

Fu Nian has been in charge of Little Saint Xian Manor for many years, so he naturally knows what is hidden under the calm surface of Qidi? If Prince Qin really wants to live here, there's no guarantee that the forces that see Prince Qin as a thorn in their side won't do something?

"Mr. Fu Nian is too worried." Ying Ziyi smiled and seemed not to take it to heart.

Seeing Ying Ziyi's look, Fu Nian knew that the other party should have some concerns, so he stopped talking.

The trees rustled in the distance, and Ying Ziyi smiled, "This mouse can run very fast!"

The cultivation of everyone present was extraordinary, and they had already known that someone was lurking in a tree in the distance, waiting for an opportunity to observe. It's just that Fu Nian and others didn't want to get involved in anything, and they just did as they pleased, so they didn't say anything.

"Your Highness, Mu Xuzi from the Renzong has arrived." Not long after the Mo family's thieves left, Ying Ziyi's men came to report.

In the long corridor outside Haiyue Xiaozhu's door, a large group of people were arriving. Most of them are wearing cloth clothes and bamboo hats, holding long swords in their hands, and they are the ones trapped in the net.

"Let him in!"

Mu Xuzi? Although Fu Nian didn't know much about this name, he also knew that it was an elder from the Taoist sect. He was the same generation as Mu Xuzi, the current head of the Human sect, and had a very high seniority.

An old man wearing gray-brown cloth and looking a little embarrassed hurriedly walked into the attic, knelt down on one knee and said, "Mu Xuzi pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Mr. Mu Xu is a guest from afar, please take a seat!" Ying Ziyi ordered, and the attendant quickly added a desk to the attic.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!" Mu Xuzi sat at the desk, level with Fu Nian, the head of the Confucian School.

"Mr. Mu Xu was able to turn from darkness to light and draw a clear line with the rebellious forces that were enemies of the empire. This really makes me very happy!" Ying Ziyi smiled and toasted with a glass of wine.

"Don't dare." Mu Xuzi looked a little flattered, picked up the wine bottle on the desk and said back.

"Those rebellious forces did not understand the general trend and were enemies of the empire. They are high-level officials of the Human Sect and ministers of the empire. They failed to persuade them in time and let them return from their lost ways. Instead, they were praised by His Highness the Crown Prince. It is really shameful!"

Zhang Liang frowned, he really didn't expect that Mu Xuzi really had a trick! Who is this imperial rebellion talking about? Everyone present knew that it should be Xiaoyaozi. As an elder of the Renzong, Mu Xuzi is respected among Taoist disciples, but his sudden rebellion inevitably makes people feel a little duplicitous. Now, I can pick it off cleanly with just one word, which is really admirable!

"Yes! If there were more knowledgeable people like Mr. Mu Xu, the world would not be in peace and the empire would not be in peace." Zhang Liang saw that Ying Ziyi looked melancholy, as if he really I was sighing, thinking that this person’s acting really looked like it!

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Mu Xu also brought a treasure with him when he came. Can you let me see it?"

Just like a piece of music that was about to be played to its climax, but turned in vain, Ying Ziyi asked as if he had just remembered something.

This style of painting has changed too quickly! Zhang Liang originally thought that Ying Ziyi would take advantage of the situation to express his emotions, but who knew it would change so quickly.

The Feathering Pill was of great importance, and Mu Xuzi originally thought that Prince Qin would let it be handed over to him on a more secretive occasion. But he didn't expect that Prince Qin would ask him to take it out in front of outsiders.

Doubts were doubts, but Mu Xuzi did not dare to hesitate. He took out a small lacquer box from his arms and stretched his hands forward.

"To be honest with His Highness the Crown Prince, this thing Mu Xuzi brought is about to be presented to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Shi Lan took it from his hand and handed it to Ying Ziyi's hand.

The lacquer box is painted with simple patterns and symbols, which seems to be very old. Ying Ziyi opened the box, and the Feather Pill was floating on it.

This Feathering Pill is not an ordinary pill. It is completely transparent. From the outside to the inside, the color gradually becomes richer, and the core is shining with dazzling light. After the box was opened, the pill gradually floated up and appeared in front of everyone.

Such a scene naturally attracted attention, but Confucian people pay attention to etiquette and did not show too much surprise.

There must be a clever mechanism designed inside this box. Ying Ziyi gently closed the lid of the box, and the Feather Pill sank down and was stored in the box.

"I already understand what Mr. Muxu means. Now that the empire is employing people, I wonder if Mr. Muxu would be willing to accommodate himself to the post of Zhonglang General for a salary of 600 shi."

Although the rank of Zhonglang General is not high, he holds military power and has a practical duty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness." Mu Xuzi stepped back slightly and thanked him. I just feel a little unhappy in my heart. In any case, the weight of this position is too small.

"I want to stay in this small Haiyue building recently. I have to ask sir for the defense." Ying Ziyi said.

"This..." Mu Xuzi was obviously a little stunned, and everyone present did not expect that Prince Qin actually wanted to use Mu Xuzi to guard his residence.

"What? Sir, you don't want to?" Ying Ziyi asked.

"No... no, I am willing to do everything to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no matter what." Mu Xuzi said with an excited voice. Being able to be by Prince Qin's side, even a small lieutenant general, is something that should not be underestimated!

….

"Do you know who the distinguished guest is at Haiyue Xiaozhu today? Let me tell you! It's Prince Qin!"

When Thief Zhi returned to the Mo family's stronghold with a face full of joy and told everyone the good news, all he got were indifferent expressions from the commanders.

"It's Prince Qin! Prince Qin!" The high-pitched voice of Daozhi lingered over the three words Prince Qin. In order to make sure that everyone in the Mo family really heard it clearly?

"Oh!" Taizhi's answer was only one word, and it was kindly provided by Master Ben. .

A group of Mohist leaders were having a meeting at a critical moment. After being interrupted by Stolen Zhi, the agenda quickly returned to its normal state.

"After Prince Qin comes to Songhai, the situation is bound to undergo new changes. The imperial army's pursuit of our Mo family may go to a higher level. Big Hammer, tell the brothers to be extra careful in recent actions."

Gao Jianli's icy face never changed, and he ordered with a serious expression.

"I got it, don't worry!" Big Iron Hammer said carelessly. He usually controls the disciples of the Mo family. He seems to be strong-minded and somewhat unreliable. However, he is cautious and cautious on the inside, which is very inconsistent with his appearance.

"Well, Cook Ding, when you deliver the food tomorrow, please contact Mr. Zhang San and make an appointment to meet Mr. Zhang San. Wait..." Gao Jianli said this and thought: "What I didn't expect was that Shi Lan turned out to be Qin The prince's subordinates. If this is really the case, it is very likely that the fact that there is an inn that is my Mo family's stronghold has been exposed. It is very dangerous for you to go back now, Chef Ding."

"I don't think so. If Shi Lan really betrayed me, I would have been arrested long ago. How could I have time to come back here?" said Pao Ding.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Gao Jianli nodded and said. "It's just that you have to be careful when you act, so be it! Xiaozhi, you have to work harder these days and keep an eye on the area near an inn. If you find anything wrong, immediately notify the chef to evacuate."

As Taizhi listened, he seemed to understand. It turned out that the servant who was following Ying Ziyi today was Shi Lan. No wonder he looked familiar.

Pirate Zhi put away his playful look and nodded, "It's just a little strange today. When Prince Qin was entertaining the three Confucian masters, a large group of snare masters suddenly came in the middle. It's just that things happened in a hurry, and I was worried that his traces would be exposed. , so I came back first, and I didn’t see what happened next.”

Thief Zhi actually lied. He didn't come back because he was afraid of exposing his traces, but he had to come back because his traces had been exposed. Otherwise, with Thief Zhi's temperament, he would not care whether there were many people or not, and he would not give up until he found out clearly.

Now that Thief Zhi thinks about it, when the killing intent of more than a dozen swordsmen gathered on him, it felt really exciting!

All the people present were brothers of Tao Zhi, who had been with him for a long time. Among them, those who were as delicate as Gao Jianli couldn't tell the fishiness in it. They just knew that Tao Zhi loved face, so they didn't point it out.

"You mean that Prince Qin hosted a banquet with three Confucian leaders?" At this time, Xue Nu suddenly asked.

"Don't you know?" Thieves Zhi became more interested, with a look of joy on his face. "Prince Qin invited three Confucian leaders, and they talked for a long time. But they were too far apart and couldn't hear what they said?"

Xue Nu looked at Gao Jianli with a worried look and said: "Now we have followed Mr. Zhang San's suggestion and sent Tianming to the Confucian family. But after all, Mr. Zhang San is not the head of the Confucian family, and he is powerless on some things. Now Prince Qin is a Come, it’s likely to be exposed, should we take it back?”

"Yes, I think so too." Duan Murong agreed. After taking the drug, Duanmu Rong's skin looks whiter and tighter than before. When she talks, her face becomes rosy and she looks more delicate.

Although the leaders of the Mo family usually treated Jing Tianming very harshly, when they encountered real danger, these leaders also considered Tianming's safety as their first consideration.

After all, Jing Tianming is not only Jing Ke's son, but also the future of the Mo family. Whether emotionally or intellectually, Jing Tianming is more important than their lives.

Gao Jianli looked at everyone, none seemed to have objections, and was about to make a decision. Suddenly a disciple reported outside the door.

"Commanders, Mr. Xiaoyao from the Taoist clan has arrived."

"Please."

Xiaoyaozi was quickly invited into the room, but unlike Xiaoyaozi who usually had an immortal demeanor, he was walking in a hurry at this moment, but there was a trace of sadness on his face.

The leaders of the Mohist family no longer sat in a circle, but, headed by Gao Jianli, spread out to greet Xiaoyaozi.

"I wonder why Mr. Xiaoyao came here in such a hurry?" Gao Jianli asked after Xiaoyaozi sat down.

"Speaking of it, it is also our clan's misfortune. My junior brother Mu Xuzi took one of our clan's most precious treasures and took refuge with the Crown Prince of Qin."

The leaders of the Mo family looked at each other. From the mouth of Pao Ding, they had learned this information. What I didn't expect was that Mu Xuzi actually took away a treasure from the Renzong. It's very important to get that treasure, otherwise Xiaoyaozi wouldn't be so eager.

"Originally, the disciples of the Renzong had intercepted him at Yingchou Gorge, but unexpectedly, Gai Nie arrived midway with a killer with a snare, and the success fell short."

Xue Nu, who was sitting next to Duan Murong, held her hand and gave her a kind smile, silently comforting her.

Feeling the warmth in her palms, Duanmu Rong felt warm in her heart and nodded slightly to indicate that Xue Nu was fine.

"What about the disciples of your sect?" Gao Jianli asked with concern.

"Gai Nie kept his hand, and the disciples of our sect only suffered some minor injuries." Xiaoyaozi touched his long beard, feeling playful.

"Mr. Xiaoyao, although it's a little abrupt, I wonder if you can tell me what that treasure is?" Gao Jianli asked.

"Feathering Pill!" Xiaoyaozi pondered for a long time and finally said it.

"what is that?"

"Do you all know about the Immortal Gathering Pill?" Xiaoyaozi asked.

"The rebellion of the Yin Yang family disciples that caused a lot of commotion recently?"

"This Feathering Pill has similar functions to this Immortal Gathering Pill." Xiaoyaozi glanced at everyone, let out a long sigh, and said, "Moreover, it is the medicine guide for refining the elixir of death."

"Elixir of death? Is there really an elixir of death in this world?" curious baby Zhifa asked.

"I don't know, but this is what is recorded in ancient books. But it is not certain whether the elixir can really lead to immortality after being refined."

"In other words, the reason why the Yin and Yang family wants to refine the Immortal Gathering Pill is to prepare for refining the elixir of death. But in this case, the empire already has the Immortal Gathering Pill, why does Prince Qin still need Renzong's Feathering Pill?" Gao Jianli was confused. road.

"I don't understand this either. Young Master Fusu is about to go to Songhai, and I'm afraid that Prince Qin will be unfavorable to him. Therefore, I hope that the brothers of the Mo family can help me. I want to try to regain the Feathering Pill."

"The Mohist family is obliged to do so."
