The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 731: The Great Master Jing Ke [Please subscribe*Please give me a monthly ticket]

"Bingzhou has gone to war with the State of Chu. General Li Ren has assembled an army of 50,000 at the Langya Port in Qi. We need your navy to help transport the army to the heartland of Chu!" The Mohist disciple also bowed and replied.

Wei Ju was full of doubts. Bingzhou and Chu were located in the north and south, with the entire Central Plains in between. How could they fight each other? Moreover, would only 50,000 troops be enough to attack Chu?
The Mohist disciple obviously knew Wei Ju's doubts, but he was not quite sure about the specific reasons.

"When we arrive at Hangu Pass, Juzi will explain everything to you," the Mohist disciple continued.

Wei Ju nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The other party was just an ordinary Mohist disciple, so it was normal that he didn't know much.

Before nightfall, Suzaku finally landed in front of Hangu Pass.

"Greetings, great master!" When the Suzaku stopped, the Mohist disciples saluted to the young man who was walking towards the Suzaku.

Shengqi and Wei Ju were both a little surprised. How long had they been in jail? Had the Mohist leader been replaced?
"You actually became a great figure in the Mohist school!" Sheng Qi knew Jing Ke, but he never expected that Jing Ke had become a great figure in the Mohist school even though he had only been in jail a few times.

Jing Ke nodded slightly, but his eyes turned to Wei Ju.

"Brother needs your help!"

"Can you tell me what happened during the time I was in prison?" Wei Ju asked in return.

"Of course!" Jing Ke took Wei Ju to an inn in Hangu Pass.

Shengqi looked at the two people in front of him with some confusion.

He and Jing Ke were of the same generation. At the beginning, Jing Ke was not as good as him. How come after only a few years, Jing Ke had become a great figure of the Mohist school, while he was still a traitor of the Nong school?

"I advise you not to do it. As a great leader of the Mohist School, I am protected by the Divine Swordsman. If they take action, I may not be able to save you!" Jing Ke suddenly turned around, and the Yuchang sword slid down his arm into his hand and directly pressed against Shengqi's neck.

"Another defeat!" Wei Ju looked at Sheng Qi with some sympathy, "Why are you doing this?"

Sheng Qi looked at the sky even more confused. Has he been in prison for decades? It's fine that Gai Nie can kill him in seconds, but why can Jing Ke, who was once inferior to him, now kill him in one move? He can't even detect the murderous intent on Jing Ke's sword until it touches his skin.

Jing Ke calmly retracted the Yuchang sword and continued to follow Wei Ju forward, leaving Sheng Qi alone in the wind.

"People from a farming family are not necessarily trustworthy. Why would you get involved with him?" Jing Ke looked at Wei Ju in confusion.

Wei Ju did not hide anything and explained how he met Sheng Qi and how Sheng Qi was wrongly accused.

Jing Ke frowned, looked back at Sheng Qi, and nodded, "Sheng Qi was indeed wronged, and the Mohists have known this for a long time."

"You know, why don't you give me proof?" Sheng Qi followed and was originally planning to behave himself, but when he heard Jing Ke's words, he suddenly impulsively wanted to rush to Jing Ke and question him.

But this time Jing Ke was useless. Several swordsmen in black and white clothes holding blood-stained swords suddenly appeared from all directions and bent Shengqi's hands and feet with their swords, restricting Shengqi's movements. Shengqi couldn't even draw his sword.

"Is this the Mohist divine swordsman?" Wei Ju felt a little envious.

If there is a divine swordsman protecting me, this Shengqi... doesn't need it!
"You are not the head of Kuiwei Hall, so what qualifications do you have to ask me, the Mohist School, to help you clarify the matter?" Jing Ke asked back calmly.

The world of martial arts is never about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

There was no need for the Mohists to fall out with the Nong family over a man who had lost his power.

Even if they cleared the matter for Shengqi, they would only get a favor from Kuiwei Hall, but they would also directly offend the leaders of Lieshan Hall, Chiyou Hall and other halls who framed him.

If it was the old Jing Ke, maybe after two glasses of wine, he would be so heroic that he would go to help Sheng Qi overturn the verdict. But he finally had a family and a career, and succeeded the position of the great master of Mohism. He had to consider the Mohism and could no longer act on impulse like before.

"No one owes you anything, so naturally no one will help you for no reason!"

"If you want to get the help of the Mohists, then you must show your value and make others think you are worthy of help!"

Jing Ke continued speaking.

Sheng Qi was stunned. Is this really something Jing Ke could say?
Wei Ju was also stunned by Jing Ke's words and fell into deep thought.

It makes sense. There is no love without reason and no one owes anyone anything.

But why do these words sound more and more like something an older brother would say?
Jing Ke felt secretly happy when he saw that the two men were intimidated by him.

These words were indeed not said by him, but were told to him by Yan before he succeeded as the leader of the Mohist school. It was because of these words that he knew how to gain the recognition of the leaders of the various branches of the Mohist school. Finally, with the unanimous consent of the Mohist school, he succeeded the Six-Fingered Black Knight and became the new leader of the Mohist school.

As for how Jing Ke gained recognition from the leaders of other clans, Jing Ke could not figure it out at first.

It was not until Gongsun Liji analyzed the situation for him that he realized how much useless work he had done.

In the Mohist resolution, he just said, Emperor Xuanwu, my elder brother!

Then all the leaders of the Mohist School said nothing more.

He said, no matter how much he does, how much benefit can it bring to the various branches of the Mohist school?
But in one word, Emperor Xuanwu, my elder brother!

This would bring huge benefits to the Mohist School, not to mention that the Mohist School now lives under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou.

That night, Wei Ju and Sheng Qi also learned about recent major events from Mohist disciples.

Upon hearing that the State of Wei was destroyed, Wei Ju was still a little sad. After all, that was his homeland. Although he had already prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help feeling sad when he actually heard the news.

Jing Ke didn't know how to comfort Wei Ju, so he just got him drunk and threw him into the room.

As for Shengqi, he practiced sword in the night wind all night. This time, he was hit too hard. Anyone of the same generation could defeat him in seconds, which made him seriously doubt whether he had missed several decades.

"What is Qin's plan?" Returning to his room alone, Jing Ke looked at Gongsun Li Ji who was waiting for his return.

"According to the intelligence from the Mohists, the State of Qin intends to join the war. The specific number of troops is unknown, but King Zheng of Qin has transferred the Northern Army Corps back to Xianyang, and Li Xin was also recalled overnight. It is likely that Li Xin will serve as the commander of the army!" Gongsun Li Ji briefly explained the intelligence she had received.

"Where is my eldest brother?" Jing Ke continued to ask.

Bingzhou only sent out 50,000 troops, which was indeed a little short of manpower.

"Your Majesty, there has been no news sent back yet. The navy is drifting on the water and it is difficult to contact them in a short period of time." Gongsun Li Ji shook her head.

The navy moved too fast, and no one knew where they would dock.

And they themselves are also moving, so there is a delay in message delivery.
