Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 327
Retreat is a way to focus on cultivation and pursue self-cultivation.

In addition to the most commonly known meditation, reading, painting, kendo and other activities that require mental concentration are also activities often chosen by people in retreat.

Therefore, the monotony in the eyes of outsiders has its own splendor for the retreatants themselves.

Moreover, although the general requirement for retreat is to practice in a quiet courtyard or a remote cave, among those who can truly do whatever they want, they are in "retreat" all the time. After reaching the highest state, they no longer care about external conditions. He has strict requirements, but integrates himself into the world and breathes in harmony with the sky.

This is the supreme pursuit that Xiaomeng, who has been in seclusion for more than nine years, has always wanted to achieve. Therefore, after passing through the early stage of strict in-depth understanding, she would occasionally dance the sword alone in the bamboo forest late at night, or use it at noon. The secret whereabouts of "He Guang Tong Chen" took a trip to the foot of Taiyi Mountain from the retreat.

This is all part of seeking the truth.

But to reach that legendary realm, Xiaomeng still has no clue.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, her intuition told her that it might be time for her to leave seclusion.

A new round of Taoist sword discussions between heaven and man is not far away. She has practiced the thoughts of the heaven sect for more than ten years and is convinced of its contents. However, before the sword discussion begins, Xiaomeng needs to go and see her fellow disciples of the human sect in person. What are you practicing?

To be able to defeat his senior brother Chi Songzi, Renzong's teachings shouldn't be completely wrong.

Of course, if so, just correct them yourself.
The tranquility of Taiyi Mountain has remained unchanged for many years, but in the city of Guanzhou, the martyrs of the Six Nations all had red eyes. Looking at the ink core secret room that was completely stained with blood, they were half angry and inevitably half heartbroken.
All dead!
In addition to the high-end combat forces who followed Zhang Liang, who pretended to be a giant, and the small number of Mohist disciples who followed Master Ban to restart various agencies, there were also the middle-level Mohist disciples who continued to hide in the Mo Core, as well as Han Cheng, Tian An, and An among the dignitaries of the Six Nations. Lord Ling and others have all become cold corpses.

The Government City was originally the safest paradise in the world, and the Black Ink Core Chamber was the safest core in this 'paradise', but now, it has become...
After Zhang Liang united most of the martyrs during the day, he promoted the cooperation between Liusha and the Mohists.

This is equivalent to Yan Dan's original plan, which he continued by seizing the opportunity.

Although he failed to persuade the farmer Ji Yan, at this time in the government city, he had no intention of letting the farmer come to a firm end. He simply tried to say a few words: usefulness is an unexpected blessing, and there is no loss if it is useless.

Zhang Liang certainly knows that all major decisions of the farm family are made by Lu Wei himself. Although Ji Yan, the leader of Siyue Hall, has become famous in recent years, there is a high probability that he still does not have the ability to influence Lu Wei's decision-making within the farm family.

As for how to talk to Lu Wei face to face about opposing Qin, he was not in a hurry: Zhang Liang firmly believed that when Mohists and Taoists unite with his own small group of Confucian forces and cooperate with the remaining nobles of the six countries, the peasants will definitely come over.

But looking at the corpses in front of him, Zhang Liang's plan went bankrupt, and one of the most important questions was born: There were indeed no masters left in the Mohe secret room at that time, but how did the Qin army enter the Mohe?

Master Ban of the inspection agency gave the answer: There was a spy in Mo He's secret room. The spy broke the switch of the metal door and let the Qin army in.

As soon as this judgment came out, Zhang Liang, Gai Nie, and Xiaoyaozi, who had quick reactions, immediately looked at the black unicorn in the quicksand:
When it comes to spy methods, there is probably no one in the world who is more proficient than this one.

But after just one glance, these people looked away one after another: Wei Zhuang had no motive to do such a thankless thing.

What's more, it's not appropriate to cooperate with Liusha at this time.

If it was really Black Qilin who did it, Wei Zhuang himself should have some ideas.

Wei Zhuang naturally knows Black Qilin's abilities better than anyone else. At the same time, he is also an advanced swordsman. In addition to the wounds on the corpses present, which were caused by ordinary Qin soldiers, there are also two types of sword wounds from outstanding soldiers. A master of martial arts.

It's just that these two martial arts masters did not use any advanced swordsmanship, nor did they use special swords. They just used very ordinary slashes and stabs. Such wounds cannot find the murderer out of thin air.

It can only be judged that their martial arts are good, but they are far from the top ranks. This clue makes the target even more difficult to find a needle in a haystack.

According to Hei Qilin himself, he was not in the Mo core, but looked for an opportunity to enter the Mo family's forbidden area and poison the underwater Xuanwu. Judging from the information of the Mo family, he could match it.

But what Hei Qilin said may not be true. If it were before, he would not doubt Lin'er's loyalty, but after the incident three years ago, he could not completely trust this subordinate.

'Need more observation.'

Even if many companions died, there was not much time left for everyone in Guancheng to grieve. According to the latest investigation information of Liusha Baifeng, who jumped back to the Six Nations, the newly arrived Qin army was indeed unable to contact Guancheng as Zhang Liang said. After the Qin army, they immediately prepared to attack.

Moreover, Gong Shuqiu, who came in with Liusha, used a giant mechanism snake to actually take away the Mo family's mechanism Suzaku parked in Mogui Pond. Failure to catch this person made the defense of the mechanism city a problem.

Since Yan Dan's plan has always been to abandon the government city, the Mo family has been making preparations to abandon the government city and activate Qinglong. In just one day, even if Zhang Liang and Gui Gu Zongheng are there, they can only continue to follow Yan Dan's plan. Dan's arrangement was followed.First let thousands of Qin troops outside the city come in, and then use Qinglong. The surviving anti-Qin elites took advantage of the collapse of the government city as a cover to flee to Songhai!

There is a Mohist stronghold there, as well as the power of Xiaoshengxian Village for Zhang Liang to borrow, and it is far away from Xianyang, so it sounds like a safe place of refuge.

But at the same time, it is also the starting point of Mirage, and will be the next center of attention in the world!
Zhang Liang, Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, Xiaoyaozi, and the temporary leader of the Mo family, Gao Jianli, all knew this, but they still chose to go

"Red pine nuts?"

Ji Yan lowered his head and thought about the name. When he raised his head and looked at Lu Wei again, there was no doubt on his face: "Chisongzi is a Taoist master. His sudden death after the appointment between heaven and man a few years ago is full of doubts in the world. , it is not unimaginable to say that it is fake death."

"But he has the ability to fake death. What would be the reason for fake death?"

"Isn't it possible that even the Taoist Tianzong can't safely stay in Taiyi Mountain to practice?"

"The troubled times are not over yet. On the eve of the storm, no big power can stay in peace, and Taoism is certainly no exception." Taoism is a reclusive sect. Even if there are Xiao He and Chen Ping among its subordinates, Lu Wei has no idea about the actual situation inside Taoism. He didn't know much, but he was able to guess that Chisongzi had faked his death in these few moments. He only knew one of the most important clues:

"This should be Xiaoyaozi's plan. He devised the strategy of feigning death after discussing with Chisongzi in advance."

"And Chi Songzi faked his death, and then quietly collected information bit by bit according to his rhythm among the major forces of various schools of thought. It was probably through Chi Songzi that Zhang Liang and Xiaoyaozi were able to trust each other and cooperate."

Chi Songzi is an expert in the world of martial arts. In terms of status in the world of martial arts, even if he has been staying in Taiyi Mountain for a long time, his reputation is still higher than that of Tian Guang.

At the same time, because he can accept the training of Master Beiming and the training of the sword theory between heaven and man, his actual combat ability will never be weak.

For such a character to fake his death and secretly move around in the world, even a farmer with a hundred thousand disciples would have a hard time finding any clues. Of course, there is a high chance that he could be hidden and caught in a trap!

"Xiaoyaozi wants to deal with Luo Wang?"

Ji Yan blinked slightly at the name of this organization. The sword she got from her mother was passed down from the net.

"Yes, but at the same time, he is also a member of Luo Sheng!" Lu Wei said calmly: "Six of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue are acting in a group. The Frightening Salamander Sword is in your hand. The black and white Xuanjian is completely broken, and there is only one mask left. Ri~ Theoretically, it’s him.”

"Hiding the sun." Ji Yan never expected that Hiding the sun would be Xiaoyaozi: "Would Luo Wang have been able to reach out to the position of head of the Taoist sect 20 years ago?"

"No, it's not that Luo Wang can control the head of the Renzong, but the person they cooperate with has become the head of the Renzong." Lu Wei had obtained the identity information of Xiaoyaozi from Tian Guang a long time ago, and also knew that in Tian Guang's fake death Xiaoyaozi played a key role. In this case, it would be easier for him to design Chisongzi's fake death than Tian Guang.

"After Luo Wang failed to attack our farmers, he wanted to repeat his old tricks and apply similar tactics to Taoists. Although Xiaoyaozi, who was hiding the sun, was an old man named Luo Wang, he was actually very different from Luo Wang. So he informed Chisongzi in advance He discovered this matter and arranged a fake death so that 'Xue Ji' would fall under the control of 'Luo Sheng' openly, so that Luo Sheng would relax his vigilance."

"When the critical moment comes, Chisongzi, who acts secretly, will become a key to the Taoist counterattack!"

Xiao Yan'er murmured to herself, and after analyzing and combining the clues given by Lu Wei one by one, she made bold guesses about the possible relationship between Xiaoyaozi and Luo Wang and their respective actions.

And this guess is exactly what Mr. Xia Kui himself thought.

"This may be the truth, but it lacks the most critical evidence." Lu Wei nodded: "But it is impossible to leave the key evidence, otherwise this evidence will become the biggest hidden danger in Luowang."

"Next year we will go to Songhai and discuss with Zhang Liang, and we will probably know the result."

"Yes." Ji Yan was greatly surprised by what Lu Wei said about 'us'. There must be an element of performance in this, but it was also an exaggerated expression of true emotions.

However, in her heart, Xiao Yan'er actually had another consideration that she didn't say out loud:
'Where did Brother Lu get the top-secret information that Xiaoyaozi was hiding the sun?'

'Moreover, Brother Lu did not refute what I said about 'repeating the same old tricks', which shows that my guess that Luo Wang used a similar strategy against the farmers is correct.'

'Then, is there a character who fakes his own death in the farmer's house?'
