The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 129 Forming a Net
When Li Mu returned to the son's residence, he saw Xiaoyue and Yingyinman practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Ying Yinman is not interested in boxing or marksmanship, but only in swordsmanship.

She has practiced Yijin Bone Forging Chapter for several months, and now the weight of Daqin's iron sword has dropped significantly, and she can already handle it easily.

One of the two is teaching attentively, the other is studying seriously, and the entry is not slow, and they already have such a look.

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

Li Mu stepped forward to pay respects: "I have seen Her Royal Highness."

Ying Yinman waved her hand and said: "There is no need to be too polite, elder brother just sent someone to tell you that when you come back, please go to see him immediately and discuss important matters with you."

Li Mudao: "The minister will go to see the young master first, Xiaoyue, pay attention to the combination of 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 imagined."

Ying Yinman giggled when she heard the words, her face was slightly colored.

Seeing this, Li Mu was secretly amused. Practicing swords can be said to be able to endure hardship?If you were asked to practice according to the method of this world, I don’t know if you can still be so proud.

However, there was no difference on his face, he just smiled and praised: "After all, the tiger father has no dog daughter, and His Majesty also personally led soldiers and went to the battlefield back then, so how could Her Royal Highness be so bad?"

"Then practice hard! I'll go and see what the young master has ordered."

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

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 with an old friend, why did you come back so soon? Didn't you have a good drink or two?"

After all, paper has just come out not long ago. Although Li Mu has thrown out the "movable type printing technique", it still takes some time to print a book.

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

Li Mu sat down on his knees opposite Fusu, smiled and said: "The old friend of my subordinate is in a bad mood recently and has no intention of chatting, so I came back after a few words of enlightenment.

Meeting friends is Li Mu's private matter, Fusu is not interested in it, and asking a question is just to show a little concern.

Fu Su said enthusiastically: "Gao Qing, do you still remember that when you and I first met, we discussed about dissolving the hatred of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms towards Daqin and making them return to their hearts?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Naturally I remember, haven't you been doing it in recent years, Young Master?"

Fusu sighed, and said: "Although I have been doing it all the time, the effect is very little. The main reason is that the survivors of the six countries are scattered all over the place. I have no way to start. After all, there are only a small number of 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, "Young Master, please tell me."

Fusu said: "I plan to open a 'Hall of Juxian' to recruit virtuous people from all over the world to serve the country, and the emphasis is on recruiting survivors from the six countries."

"After gathering people together, let's try to resolve the resentment in their hearts one by one. How about Gao Qing?"

"Well..." Li Mu frowned slightly, and fell silent, as if he was thinking seriously.

Fusu didn't urge him, but let him think about it.

After all, this matter is very important, and it is inevitable that there will be some inconsistencies in his own thoughts and thoughts. Li Mu has great talent, and his opinion is very important.

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

After a while, Li Mu said: "Young Master, this idea is very good. Instead of letting the survivors of the six kingdoms scatter all over the world and not knowing what they are planning secretly, it is better to gather them and put them under your nose."

"At that time, I can let go of the hatred and use it for me. Naturally, it is very good. Even if it cannot be subdued, at least we can track their whereabouts."

Fu Su suddenly realized that he was too lenient and benevolent, but he didn't think about it in this direction. He just thought that the survivors of the Six Kingdoms were scattered all over the place, and he had no chance to resolve their grievances one by one.

Gathering people in this way is also convenient 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 nodded with a smile and said: "Young master's move is good for Da Qin, so it is naturally feasible, but you are benevolent, but you can't guarantee that everyone will treat us with benevolence and righteousness."

"Therefore, these precautionary measures are necessary. Otherwise, if someone pretends to take effect, after they occupy a high position and take power, the harm to Daqin may be greater than causing chaos in the wild."

When he said these words, Li Mu felt weird and awkward in his heart, because no matter how you looked at it, it seemed to be talking about himself.

Fu Su's heart trembled, and he said solemnly: "Gao Qing's concern is not unreasonable, I wonder what Gao Qing thinks, how should we prevent it?"

Li Mudao: "It's very simple, set up a secret intelligence organization to secretly monitor the survivors of the six countries."

"People in this organization must be proficient in lurking and camouflage. We guard against the survivors of the Six Nations, but we must never let them know that we are guarding against them."

"Those who can be sure that they have truly returned to their hearts, we can remove the surveillance. Those who behave differently, we will continue to monitor them. If there are any abnormalities, we will take them down immediately."

"In this way, nothing will go wrong."

"This..." For this proposal, Fusu was a little hesitant, accepting other people's votes, but guarding against them, which was contrary to his values.

Li Mu knew what he was thinking at a glance, and persuaded him: "My subordinates know that the young master has always adhered to the principle of not using people who are suspicious, and not being suspicious when employing people. Only in this way can we get the heartfelt support of others."

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

"However, for the survivors of the nobles of the six countries, it is their pursuit to restore their own country and become a powerful person themselves. After all, those who truly love the people are in the minority."

Fu Su said solemnly: "What Gao Qing said is also reasonable, but now our Great Qin soldiers have more food and food, because of Gao Qing's achievements, the military strength has also undergone earth-shaking changes, it is more than one step stronger."

"Even if the remnants of the six countries unite, how much strength can they gather? They want to restore the country, it is simply a dream, how can they be so unwise?"

Li Mu sighed softly, and said: "My lord, this subordinate regards you as your heart's content, and my subordinates are willing to tell you some things that should not be said, please think carefully about it."

Hearing this, Fu Su said with relief: "Gao Qing regards me as a confidant, and I also regard Gao Qing as a brother and sister. Just speak out, I will not blame you."

Mencius said: When the king regards his ministers like brothers and feet, the ministers regard the emperor as his heart;

Li Mu said seriously: "Dare to ask my lord, how do you think the people are living in today's world?"

Fusu said: "Nowadays, when the country is unified, it will no longer be the same as when the countries were in chaos and war. Except for the occasional foreign invasion in the border areas, most of the people can still live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about food and clothing."

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's right, the people are not burdened by the war nowadays, as long as they are not lazy, they can live comfortably."

"However, over the past few years, the Great Qin has been subjected to heavy corvee, and the common people have already suffered terribly. Especially because of the construction of the Great Wall, many families have been ruined because of this."

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

"But how do the common people understand so many great righteousness? If they are exploited by someone with a heart to incite the common people to revolt, then the world will be full of wars and smoldering flames, and Great Qin will be in danger."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Fusu broke out in a cold sweat. He was just generous and kind, but he was not stupid. He knew that Li Mu was definitely not alarmist.

Today, the world has only been unified for a few years, and the survivors of the Six Kingdoms still have a very high reputation in the land of the Six Kingdoms.

If there is a serious incident and the six countries join forces to attack Great Qin, even if Great Qin has an army of one million, even if it can suppress the rebellion, it will definitely suffer serious damage.

If there are still survivors from the six kingdoms occupying high positions, holding great power, secretly helping the rebels, and cooperating with each other, then Great Qin is really in danger of being overthrown.

Fu Su finally compromised, saying: "Gao Qing is very thoughtful, if you hadn't woken me up, I would have almost ruined something."

"According to what Gao Qing said, let's set up a secret organization to monitor the survivors of the six countries. This matter will be handed over to Gao Qing. The guards and soldiers in the house are up to Gao Qing to choose."

Only the guards and soldiers in the house?Is that enough for a hammer?

Li Mu lowered his head slightly, and said, "No, my lord, this organization's role in monitoring the survivors of the Six Kingdoms is only for the initial stage of its establishment."

"This subordinate thinks, Your Majesty lives deep in the imperial palace, and the affairs of the world are only known through the reports of the courtiers. If someone is bold and deceives others, he will inevitably be deceived."

"So Your Majesty must have his own 'ears' and 'eyes'."

"In the future, if the young master ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, this organization will be able to monitor the world for the young master, allowing the young master to control the situation in the world at any time. For Daqin, it will be beneficial and harmless."

"So we can't be short-sighted and only focus on the present, but plan for the future."

"It doesn't matter if there are insufficient manpower. We can choose from the children of slaves. The people who have been cultivated since childhood can be more guaranteed to be loyal to the son and Daqin."

Hearing this, Fu Su felt reasonable, and happily said: "What Gao Qing said is very true, you can handle this matter according to your own ideas! If you need anything, just ask, I will try my best to cooperate."

"By the way, what is Gao Qing planning to name this organization?"

A bright light flashed across Li Mu's eyes, and he said, "How about calling it 'Luo Wang'?"

"My subordinates are willing to build a heavenly and earthly net all over the world for the son, so that thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are all in the palm of the son."

As calm as Fusu, he was a little excited by Li Mu's words, and praised: "What a trap, Gao Qing, my son has you, which is better than a hundred thousand troops."

Li Mu leaned slightly and said, "My lord, I'm so honored. Gao wants to live this life. I only wish to do my best for my lord and Daqin, until I die."

Hearing the phrase "Dedicate yourself to death, and then die", Fusu was deeply moved. It is really his luck to Fusu and Daqin to be able to get high and to be effective.

But he didn't see that, on the face of Li Mu who was bowing his head, a sly smile flashed across his face.

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

An intelligence organization that spreads all over the world is a terrifying force capable of overthrowing a dynasty.

He was a little embarrassed to hand over authority to him so easily.

But I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but the Great Qin must be destroyed, otherwise the Han Dynasty will not appear, and history will change drastically. What if Gao Lan is really lost?

……

At present, Juxiantang Fusu is only a preliminary idea, and it will take at least half a year of preparation time to actually open it, involving all aspects.

Really want to start, that is next year.

Therefore, the first half year is the opportunity for Li Mu to cultivate the members of the network.

In a secluded place in the south of Xianyang City, he newly built a house with a large area. With the power of the Prince's Mansion, this is naturally not a problem.

Immediately, two hundred relatively young men were selected from the bodyguards and personal soldiers of the Prince's Mansion, including 50 bodyguards and 150 personal soldiers.

These 200 people will become the seeds of the net. Li Mu obviously wants to replicate the success of 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 control the situation in the world.

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

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

It doesn't take ten or eight years, at most five years is enough. People in this world basically have no solution when facing an assassin who can fly over walls and come and go without a trace.

Some people may say, what if they arrange a large number of crossbowmen and wait for you to deliver them to your door?

I'm sorry, people with internal strength have sharp eyes and ears, and a large number of people in an ambush can't escape their eyes and ears.

They will choose to kill all the crossbowmen in your ambush first, and then calmly kill you.

What's more, assassins usually operate at night, and their vision is unclear at night, so what's the use of arranging crossbowmen?
In terms of strength, Li Mu is not worried at all, let alone in terms of loyalty.

No matter how loyal these 200 people were to Fusu before, after the baptism of soul-shifting Dafa, the first object of their 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 choose Li Mu without any surprise.

In fact, for these bodyguards, it doesn't matter whether they are loyal to their master or not. The so-called loyalty is just for living space.

But the loyalty to Li Mu comes from the subconscious mind, to put it a bit more grandly, it comes from the instinct deep in the soul, it is the gene engraved in the bone.

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

To eliminate the influence of the soul-shifting method, unless there is a person with higher skill than him, who is also proficient in thaumaturgy similar to the soul-shifting method.

Such people don't say that this world does not exist, even in the Tianlong world, they also do not exist.

The exercises for cultivating Luowang members are still the "Nine Yin Manual Package", namely: Changing Tendons and Bone Forging, Nine Yin Magic, Snake and Beaver Turning Technique, Gecko Swimming Wall Kung Fu, Sky Sword Technique, and Great Demon Fist.

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

The third-rate fighters in the world of martial arts, in this world, are the top masters, and they are the so-called pre-Qin Qi refiners.

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

After all, this is Fan Qin, not Xian Qin.

……

For half a month, Yi Xiaochuan never came to look for him, but Li Mu has been paying attention to his movements.

Meng Tian had already met him, so naturally he didn't take a good look at him.

In the original plot, he was helpless and didn't pay attention to Meng Tian. Now that he has Gao Yao as his backing, how could he treat Meng Tian?
Because of Li Mu's words, he already had a faint hostility towards Da Qin in his heart.

It's just that the hostility still needs a catalyst before it can completely erupt.

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

This Cui Wenzi was not fabricated by any film and television drama. He did exist in history, and he was a famous medical scientist in the pre-Qin period.

Because of his superb medical skills and countless living people, the folks regard him as a god, so he is recorded in "Biography of Liexian". There are also records about him in "Sou Shen Ji" in Jin Dynasty.

In the 28th year of Qin Shihuang, that is, before Li Mu replaced him, Xu Fu had already taken three thousand boys and girls to the sea to search for immortal medicines, but they never returned.

In the play "Mythology", it was Cui Wenzi who successfully refined the elixir, which allowed Yi Xiaochuan, Gao Yao, and Yushu to live for more than 2000 years.

In the past half a month, Yi Xiaochuan drank and had fun with Cui Wenzi every day, practicing drunken fist and drunken sword, and seemed to temporarily forget about Yu Shu.

Li Mu didn't know what to say, this kid really wasn't someone who could accomplish anything.

Indecisiveness, the benevolence of a woman.

He also wanted a beauty, but he was unwilling to fight for it. If he really kept going like this, Li Mu didn't know where to start if he wanted to punish him.

Fusu and Li Mu didn't go to the court for half a month, because the first emperor was not in the court, so he took Li Si to Lanchi Weifu for a private visit.

And during this period of time, a plague broke out in the palace, and Yushu's bedroom was the hardest hit area.

Lang Zhongling, who was in charge of the imperial guards, made a decisive decision and ordered the blockade of Concubine Li's bedroom, and no one was allowed to leave the palace gate to prevent the plague from spreading.

The bedroom is surrounded by imperial guards, anyone who dares to leave the palace without permission, the imperial guards will kill without asking the reason.

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

When the first emperor returned to the palace and heard the news, all the people in Yushu Palace were spared and all were infected with the plague.

The imperial physicians were helpless, and even many imperial physicians were infected with the plague and died.

The Imperial Physician Ling was trembling all day long, and his hair turned gray with worry.

The first emperor had no choice but to post the emperor's list and seek folk doctors.

After Li Mu received this news, he was not in a hurry to act, but prepared a large amount of medicinal materials in private to prepare.

He has to wait for Yi Xiaochuan to get the blood of Heifeng, the blood-sweat BMW, and the deep-sea night pearl in the inner palace of the palace, and then he will make a move.

When watching the drama, Li Mu already knew that the plague that broke out in the palace was a kind of flu.

In modern times, influenza is a disease with a high incidence but a low fatality rate, but in this ancient era, it is an incurable disease, and even Cui Wenzi cannot cure it on a large scale.

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

Even if his prescriptions are ineffective for the disease, he still has the last insurance, that is Jiuyang Zhenqi.

It's just that there are too many sick people in the palace, if he treats them with internal strength, no matter how strong his strength is, he will not be able to bear it.

However, he is confident that his prescription will definitely cure the plague. After all, there are already successful examples in the world of Smiling Proud.

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

Li Mu secretly stared at Yi Xiaochuan, when he got the horse blood and Ye Mingzhu, and exchanged medicine with Cui Wenzi, he asked Fusu first to go to the palace for treatment.

……

Xianyang Palace.

Shi Huang walked back and forth anxiously, feeling a little restless, and all the attendants in the palace were silent, not daring to breathe.

"It's been a few days, and no one has dared to reveal the emperor's list? Well, if I add more rewards, I won't believe it. My Daqin doesn't even have a famous doctor who can cure the plague."

As soon as he finished speaking, an internal servant walked into the hall with small but hasty steps, prostrated himself on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, help Mr. Su and Zhan Shijun to see you."

Shi Huang's eyes lit up, he remembered Fu Su said that Gao Yao was known as Wen Tao Wu Lue, he knew everything about medicine, divination and astrology, could it be that he has a way?

"Quick announcement."

"promise."

The servants withdrew from the hall, Fusu quickly led Li Mu into the hall, when he saw Li Mu carrying a large bag in his hand, the first emperor couldn't help hoping for a big promotion.

"The child pays respects to the father."

"I see you, Your Majesty."

The First Emperor waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, Gao Aiqing, what are you carrying?"

Li Mudao: "Return to Your Majesty, this is the good medicine for clearing away the plague prepared by the minister."

Shi Huang happily said: "Are you sure?"

Li Mu said cautiously: "Originally, the minister sent a blind medicine, which is only available in Julu, Qibei, Langya, Kuaiji and other counties."

"If there is this medicine, combined with acupuncture and moxibustion, I have [-]% certainty that I can cure the plague in the palace. Without this medicine, I am only [-]% to [-]% sure."

"But now that Concubine Li is critically ill, I don't have time to look for medicine, so I have to try my best."

"Your Majesty's favor is the same as being blessed by the luck of our great Qin country. When you are in trouble, you will turn good luck, and you will be lucky when you die."

The first emperor was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said happily: "Aiqing said well, the [-] to [-]% certainty is not low, you should try your best."

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

Hearing this, Shi Huang walked up to Li Mu, clapped his hands heavily on his shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "You must succeed, otherwise my loss will be too heavy, go!"

"promise."

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

The First Emperor waved his hand impatiently and said: "Get away, get away, I already have such a good doctor as Gao Aiqing, those wild men who want to come to win rewards, don't mind."

"promise."

"Wait a minute."

The servant was about to step back, but was stopped by Li Mu, who said to the first emperor, "Your Majesty, it happens that I need a helper to help me cook the medicine, why not let the person who unveiled the list go with me."

"Alright." Shi Huang said to the servant without any objection, "Then let that person go directly to Concubine Li's bedroom, instead of coming to see me."

"promise."

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

When the two came to the bedroom and saw Li Mu covered in baggage, they couldn't help being surprised.
