The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 132

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

The night ban time is coming soon, if Gao Yao doesn't come, once the night ban time comes, there will be guards patrolling the city, and he can't explain clearly when he is bumped into.

It is also fortunate that it is winter now, and it gets dark earlier, and the night ban begins at three o'clock in the morning, which is around 36:[-] p.m. in later generations, and there is only more than half an hour left.

"Hey, what are you looking at!"

"Fuck."

Yi Xiaochuan kept looking at the direction of the mansion wall, but a voice suddenly sounded from the other side, which made him tremble.

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

"Old Gao, why are you walking silently? You look like a ghost, where did you come from?"

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

"Nonsense, if you can't even walk lightly, I'll practice qigong."

Li Mu put the box away, and said to Yi Xiaochuan: "The gold, silver and jewelry I have saved since I took office are all here, and it can be converted into copper plates to about [-] to [-]."

"It is enough for tens of thousands of people to live for a few years just to manage food and clothing. If you have to pay military salaries and buy equipment, you have to rely on yourself."

"Let's go! Hurry up, get out of the city before the night ban begins, and tell me the address back, I'll find a chance to go there."

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

Li Mudao: "I see, I will see him tomorrow, so be careful."

"Well, let's go." Yi Xiaochuan sat in the harness 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 it is natural to have a good relationship with him.

Although it is impossible for him to come up with a vaccine, it would be better for the people of this world to give him some advanced medical theories and prescriptions.

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

Only in his hands can medical skills be truly used to cure diseases and save more people.

……

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

Unsurprisingly, Li Mu was greatly appreciated by the First Emperor in this court meeting, and his title was promoted to Dashangzao, also known as Daliangzao, and his age was raised to [-] Dendrobium, which is a total of [-] guan.

Measured by the standards of later generations, it is almost equivalent to an annual salary of about 180 million.

In addition, there are bounties of five hundred yi, five buckets of pearls, ten pieces of silk and other properties, the value of which is almost equivalent to his ten-year-old tribute.

Because Li Mu was not greedy for power and didn't want to be an official, Shi Huang was very generous in rewarding titles and money.

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

The First Emperor naturally didn't care about this trivial matter, so he agreed casually, and Alian and Xiaolan were able to leave the palace with Li Mu.

Although Li Mu is only one of the "Little Nine Qings" now, even the three princes and nine Qings have begun to make friends with him, especially Prime Minister Li Si.

These old foxes in the court can all see Li Mu's potential. Now he has won the trust of the first emperor, and if he helps Su ascend the throne in the future, his power will directly rise to the top.

Befriending a person who is destined to be in power in the future in advance is beneficial and harmless.

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

Because everyone already knew that Qin II would probably be Fusu, and none of the other princes could compete with him.

And Li Mu deliberately made friends with Li Si with a different mind. This person is also a very useful pawn, and he will probably be useful in the future.

After the imperial court was over, Li Mu told Fusu that he was going to meet a folk genius 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, the greater the benefits to Daqin, and he himself will be honored.

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

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

Li Mu first told 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 papers.

On the way, Yi Xiaochuan came to have a look, but he didn't disturb them, and left after eating a meal. He was going to be busy with the establishment of Zhuangzi and the acquisition of slaves.

Li Mu didn't ask him to buy more, a hundred or ten people is enough, and a few pennies can be settled. Too many people will easily arouse the court's vigilance.

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 insect so tiny that it was invisible to the naked eye, he already understood that he could not make a vaccine by himself.

When he asked where the vaccines Li Mu and Yi Xiaochuan received came from, Li Mu unceremoniously pushed it to Peng Zu.

Cui Wenzi was not too surprised that Peng Zu could live for 3000 years, and he even felt that he was not too surprised.

Because if he refines the elixir, let alone 3000 years, he can still live for 3 years.

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

Without saying a word, Li Mu also passed on the Yijin Bone Forging Chapter and Huashan Neigong to Cui Wenzi.

These investments today are all profitable. Even if the plot changes in the future and there is no such thing as the first emperor asking for the elixir, I believe that Cui Wenzi will not forget his part 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 discussed disease classification and mainstream plague types.

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

Compared with Yi Xiaochuan, who is just a friend with the same temperament, Li Mu is now a teacher and friend to Cui Wenzi.

After all, Li Mushi really taught him a lot.

Three days later, Cui Wenzi bid farewell and left.

He wants to find a place to retreat for a while, digest what he has learned from Li Mu, and then rely on the prescription given by Li Mu to practice medicine in the world and save more people.

Li Mu's life has returned to the previous track.

Go to court in the morning, spend a little time in the morning dealing with the government affairs of the prince's mansion, and take care of Alian and Xiaolan who have just started learning martial arts.

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

From time to time, he will perform the soul-shifting method on the net killers to deepen the loyalty of the net killers to him, which is the so-called deep brainwashing.

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

Because only a hundred slaves were bought, and they were purchased in batches from different places, no one else noticed.

There were 120 slaves in all, ranging in age from 17 to 23 years old.

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, organized these slaves into the "Flying Tigers", and let the slaves call him the captain.

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

Because Yi Xiaochuan also needs to cultivate himself, he naturally has no time to take care of them, so he completely entrusts these people to Li Mu for training.

Li Mu spends time in the evening teaching them every day, from the first watch to the third watch, and let them practice martial arts in Zhuangzi during the day.

Undoubtedly, these slaves also did not escape the method of soul transfer.

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

Although they will follow Yi Xiaochuan to conquer the world in the future, they are actually loyal to Li Mu.

In the future, Yi Xiaochuan's army will be controlled by them. That is to say, all the wealth that Yi Xiaochuan raised is actually making wedding dresses for Li Mu.

Naturally, the members of the Flying Tigers practiced the Jiuyin package, but Yi Xiaochuan didn't notice it at all.

Li Mu vaccinated him, saying that the martial arts he learned from Xiang Liang is not weak, what he lacks is strength.

As long as one increases one's strength and accumulates one's internal energy, one's martial arts will naturally improve as well.

Yi Xiaochuan thought so too, so he only practiced Yijin Bone Forging Chapter and Huashan Neigong every day, and did not learn martial arts from Li Mu.

But he didn't know that among the martial arts taught by Li Mu, the one with the greatest bonus to combat power was actually the movement skills, not the martial arts moves themselves.

After starting to train those slaves, Li Mu would take a few swords from Luo Wang's spare weapon arsenal every day, so that after three months, all members of the Flying Tigers had one.

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

For those who don't have a spear for the time being, use a sharpened wooden stick instead, and learn how to grow a spear from him.

……

Time flies by, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and history has advanced to the summer of the 31st year of Qin Shihuang.

The members of the Flying Tigers have already learned what they should learn, and the rest is just to continue to deepen their skills, and they are already a bit hot in terms of martial arts.

Seeing that it was almost the same time, Li Mu told Yi Xiaochuan that it was time to leave.

He didn't have much time, if he wanted to let Shihuang die early, he only had three or four years left.

He has to subdue all the bandits in Yunmeng Daze within three to four years, twist them into a single rope, and train them to fight, the time is very tight.

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

Looking back at the majestic Xianyang City from afar, Yi Xiaochuan swore in his heart that he would definitely come back as soon as possible.

In the past half a year, the number of snare killers has also increased a lot, reaching more than 330 people.

Li Mu secretly controlled [-] young eunuchs in the Prince's Mansion, and privately taught them the eunuch's version of "Sunflower Treasure".

Eunuchs do not only exist in the imperial palace, but also in the prince's mansion, especially in the prince's mansion of Fusu. There are more than 200 people, and they are mainly in charge of the Fusu courtyard.

Usually, only they and the maid can enter and exit Fusu's inner courtyard at will, and the rest of the staff are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard.

As for the safety issue, if someone can pass through the heavy guards and reach the inner courtyard, then even having the guards guarding the inner courtyard is useless.

Because of the particularity of "Sunflower Treasure", these thirty eunuchs can be said to be Li Mu's absolute confidantes and core force.

They only need to practice for four or five months, and they can completely explode 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 Juxian Hall project was finally launched smoothly, and at the same time, it also received the support of the First Emperor.

Fusu issued an edict to recruit sages from all over the world, and Daqin was moved by it for a while, and people from all over the place who thought they had a good skill rushed to Xianyang one after another.

Naturally, some survivors from the Six Kingdoms also came, but those who came were from the middle and lower classes, and their real purpose of coming was not that simple. It was definitely not that they really wanted to serve Great Qin.

The real high-ranking nobles are only after Xiang Yan, the famous general of the Chu Kingdom, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew came, and the high-ranking nobles from the other five countries did not show up.

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

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

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

Because he wants to kill Liu Bang, the only way to ensure that there will be no accidents.

After all, speaking of it, this guy is considered a man of destiny, and Li Mu is not at ease if he does not personally confirm his death.

With the passage of time, talents from all over the world arrived one after another, within a few days if they were close, or more than a month if they were far away.

Pei County is two thousand miles away from Xianyang. More than 40 days later, Liu Bang appeared outside Xianyang City riding a horse followed by a carriage driven by a servant.

Thirty li away from the eastern suburbs of Xianyang City, when Liu Bang and the carriage passed the official road between a forest, someone suddenly jumped out from the side of the road without warning, blocking the way.

One after another, a total of 20 people jumped out of the forest.

These 20 people were dressed in black costumes, and all of them held a long sword with a sheath in their left hands. They stood tall and straight, with a solemn demeanor, surrounding Liu Bang and the carriage in a fan shape.

Liu Bang was taken aback, he quickly reined in his horse and stopped, and subconsciously shouted: "Everyone, if you are asking for money, everything is easy to talk about, so don't do it."

However, the twenty black-clothed men were unmoved at all, which made Liu Bang realize that these people were not like thieves who cut paths and robbed roads, but rather like warriors raised by powerful people.

The head of the net killer opened 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 with a pleasant face, "Your Excellency is Mr. Liu Bang Liu?"

This is the difference between snare killers and ordinary warriors. Under Li Mu's teaching, they will use their brains instead of reckless handling of things.

In this case, goodwill is often shown first, but it is easier to obtain real information and confirm the identity of the other party than intimidation.

Liu Bang was very surprised, he didn't know anyone in Xianyang at all, and the other party called him by his name.

And it doesn't look like he's looking for trouble, after all, the sword is not out of the sheath, and he speaks kindly.

He cupped his fists and said, "This is Liu Bang, who are you?"

The leader smiled and said: "My master wants to see Mr. Liu, and specially ordered me to come here to wait for you, and please come with me for a while."

While they were talking, the curtain of the carriage had been lifted, and Lu Gong and Lu Zhi, father and daughter inside leaned out.

After hearing what the leader said, Lu Zhi took the initiative to ask: "This strong man, dare to ask who is your master?"

The leader said: "Excuse me for the inconvenience of telling you, Mr. Liu will know when he goes. In short, if Mr. Liu has real talents and learning, my master will definitely give you a fortune."

Both Liu Bang and Lu Zhi were moved, no matter who the other party is, it is good to meet him, no matter whether his talent can catch the other party's eyes, it is always an opportunity.

Liu Bang said happily: "Since that's the case, please lead the way, brother."

The leader looked at Lu Gong and Lu Zhi and asked, "I don't know who these two are?"

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

Lu Gong and Lu Zhi naturally wouldn't refute at this time, if Liu Bang really became famous because of this, then they would also admit it.

The leader pondered for a while, and then said: "Originally, my master only invited Mr. Liu alone, but since he is a family member, it's okay, let's go together!"

"After all, a family should be tidy at all times, everyone, please follow me!"

Neatly?

Liu Bang and Lu Zhi's father and daughter were a little speechless.

This person's words are really hard to describe, but judging from his appearance, it is not surprising that he is just a martial artist with little knowledge.

The leader didn't know that he casually said something interesting to the Lord, but was regarded 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.

That posture was like the guards of Liu Bang and his party, which made Lu Zhi feel a little strange in his heart.

What she yearns for the most in her life is to be in a high position, hugged by the front and back, if these people are really the guards of their family, that would be great.

But she also knew that whether she could live such a life, she was counting on Liu Bang now, and hoped that he could pass the test of that mysterious dignitary.

Not long after walking along the official road, the snare killers took Liu Bang and the carriage and turned onto a forest path, heading deep 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 subordinates behind him: "Go, open the middle door and report to the master that Mr. Liu has arrived."

"promise."

Seeing this, Liu Bang couldn't help but feel a little flustered. It seemed that this mysterious dignitary valued him very much.

After getting off their horses and carriages in front of the door, the three of them walked into Zhuangzi through the middle door at the respectful request of the leader.

Then the gate closed, but they didn't see it. 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 he wiped his neck with a sword.

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

Now it has naturally become Li Mu's secret base. After Yi Xiaochuan left, Li Mu bought a new batch of slaves to secretly train here.

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

The core members of the night are the thirty eunuchs, and the newly bought slaves are all members of the night.

It is precisely because this Zhuangzi is very important to Li Mu, outsiders who come here have only two paths, either become Li Mu's people or die.

And people like Liu Bang belong to the enemy, so naturally there is only one dead end.

The moment Liu Bang and the others entered Zhuangzi, passed through the front yard, and entered the atrium, the leader suddenly changed his face and said solemnly, "I'm tied."

The snare killers who followed them in immediately rushed up and took down the three of Liu Bang respectively. Someone fetched a rope and tied up the three of Liu Bang whose arms were pinned behind their backs.

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

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

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the mouths of the three of them were immediately stuffed with cloth towels, and they were pushed down.

Someone has already reported to Li Mu that their task has been successfully completed, and they only need to hand over the person to Li Mu for disposal.
