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

Chapter 783 The Long-Disappeared Person [Please Subscribe*Please Pass]

The Qin army's encirclement was ultimately successful. Xiang Liang was powerless to turn the tide, and the Tenglong Legion was also surrounded by the Qin army.

Except for Xiang Ji who escaped with a few personal guards, the entire army was completely surrounded.

"Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, at this point, the defeat is certain, are you still unwilling to come out and see me?"

Watching his soldiers being divided, surrounded and slaughtered by the Qin army, Xiang Liang always stood under the banner of the central army and stared at the banner of the Qin army that was constantly moving towards him.

"General Wang and General Yang are not here!" Li Xin and Meng Yi pushed through the crowd and walked towards the Chu army's banner.

Xiang Liang looked at Li Xin and Meng Yi who were walking towards him with a frown on his face. At this point, there was obviously no need for the other party to lie to him anymore.

Suddenly, Xiang Liang drew his sword and pointed it toward the sky.

"Haha, I never thought that after so many battles in my life, I would be defeated by two kids. How can I still live in this world with dignity?"

The long sword shone coldly, with a crimson gleam, and cut Xiang Liang's neck.

Li Xin and Meng Yi watched quietly as Xiang Liang drew his sword and committed suicide, but no one tried to stop him. Only when they saw Xiang Liang's body fall under the banner of the central army did they look away.

"Is it embarrassing to lose to you and me?"

Li Xin suddenly asked at an inappropriate time.

"..."

Meng Yi was also stunned by Li Xin's train of thought.

Then Meng Yi also came to his senses. Yes, it was embarrassing to lose to himself and Li Xin? So embarrassing that he wanted to commit suicide out of shame?

Compared to a general like Xiang Liang who has no outstanding military achievements, both myself and Li Xin have verifiable military achievements, right?

There is no need to say much about Li Xin. In the battle to destroy Zhao, he launched a surprise attack on Fanwu and Jingxing Pass, cutting off the connection between the northeastern part of Zhao and Handan. Isn't this an achievement?

My own battle record is better than Li Xin's, right? In the Battle of Alashan, I followed my brother and traveled thousands of miles without any rivals. In the Battle of Danlin, 30,000 Red Flame Cavalry defeated the 300,000-strong Donghu army.

Any one of them is no less powerful than Xiang Liang. Why should he be so ashamed that he wants to commit suicide just because he was defeated by him?

"You're not willing to admit that you're a bad player and you're not willing to practice more!" Meng Yi complained.

Originally, considering the noble cause of Xiang Liang's suicide for his country, people were thinking of giving him a grand funeral, collecting his body, and sending it back to Shouchun.

Now, Li Xin and Meng Yi really don’t want to do that anymore.

Not only do I lose to myself, I also have to mock myself.

Do you really think you have no temper?
"Send Xiang Liang's body and the bodies of the generals of the Tenglong Legion to Shouchun!" Li Xin ordered.

No coffin suitable for Xiang Liang's status was prepared.

There was nothing wrong with Xiang Liang committing suicide after being defeated in the battle, and there was nothing wrong with him even if he was ashamed of losing to Li Xin and Meng Tian. The key point was Li Xin's words "I am ashamed to lose to you?" which directly distorted the definition of the event.

"If you can't even beat Li Xin and Meng Yi, you might as well commit suicide!" Wang Ben, Yang Duanhe and others who came to celebrate the victory looked at the two men with amusement.

"Ah, I'm dead!" The other generals also smiled and pretended to draw their swords and commit suicide.

If they were to commit suicide out of shame because they could not defeat Li Xin and Meng Yi, then most of the generals in the world would have to die.

But this did not prevent them from using it to make fun of Li Xin and Meng Yi.

Li Xin and Meng Yi were the only ones in the world who were humiliated to such an extent by their enemies and mocked by their defeated enemies.

In other words, I lost to you, but I just look down on you!
If you fail to defeat the enemy, you haven’t really won!

So Li Xin and Meng Yi were really angry, very angry, so they vented their anger on Xiang Ji who escaped. "Who rescued Xiang Ji, the young master of the Xiang family? Does Mohist have any clue?"

"Master Ju has already sent people to investigate, but all members of the Mohist School above the rank of deacon have alibis!" Meng Yi said with a frown.

After the Mohist School evacuated the Central Plains, the core elite either stayed in Qin or entered Bingzhou. Although there were disciples active in Chu, there was not a single disciple who could master the mechanical White Tiger technology.

"Is it possible that it was a fake from the Gongshu family?" Meng Yi suddenly spoke up, throwing dirty water on Gongshu, his mortal enemy in mechanical engineering.

"General Meng, although you are now the deputy general and military supervisor of the army, you cannot throw dirty water on me, Gongshu Chou, at will!" Gongshu Chou, who followed the army to the battle, became angry in an instant.

You can't admit to this kind of thing, otherwise Gongshu will be badly injured if he doesn't die.

Although the Gongshu School and the Mohist School were mortal enemies in terms of mechanical engineering, they were incomparable in size.

Even if it was really the Mohists who did it, Xianyang would only scold them a few times, and the Mohists would just make some compensation and admit their mistakes and the matter would be forgotten.

Once Gongshujia admits it, the problem can no longer be solved by just apologizing.

"And that is the Mohist's mechanical white tiger. Although I, Gongshu Jia, would like to claim it, we don't have the ability to do so!" Gongshu Chou continued.

The four great mechanical beasts are the core of Mohism's mechanical arts. It is impossible for Gongshujia to have the technology to repair the mechanical white tiger that is missing core components.

"We have already checked it out. It was not done by my Mohist disciples."

After the Vermillion Bird fell, Jing Ke personally rushed to the Qin army camp to explain and understand what had happened.

After all, the matter involves the technology of the four great mechanical beasts of the Mohist School, which is no trivial matter.

"Since the great master has come to explain himself, I will naturally believe him!"

Li Xin could play around with Meng Yi and pretend not to trust him, but he didn't dare to play around with Jing Ke.

The first reason was that Jing Ke could not possibly lie given his status and position. The second reason was that he had personally seen Jing Ke cut off the head of the King of Dayuezhi in an army of hundreds of thousands of people. If he was joking with Jing Ke and Jing Ke took it seriously, the army would not be able to protect him.

"I will personally investigate this matter and give General Li Xin an explanation!" Jing Ke promised solemnly.

"I dare not, I dare not. Letting Xiang Ji go is not a big deal. It is not worth it for the great master to investigate it personally!" Li Xin shook his head hurriedly.

What if it was really like what Meng Yi said, that a certain leader of the Mohist school had an old relationship with the Xiang family and rescued people in order to repay a favor in the past?

The Mohists also want to hand over the person, which is a disguised way of offending the Mohists.

When it comes to human relationships and worldly wisdom, Li Xin is very clear about it.

Meng Yi investigated and found out, but the matter was just settled privately.

But if Jing Ke investigated and found out, it would be impossible to settle the matter privately.

However, soon, a secret letter came from Zhongli and was handed to Jing Ke.

The sudden appearance of a mysterious man who mastered the four major mechanical techniques of Mohism not only caused the Mohists to investigate themselves, but Jing Ke also asked the Bingzhou Military Control Commission to help investigate.

Jing Ke opened the secret letter, and there was only one word on it.

"Turns out it was him!" Seeing the words on the secret letter, Jing Ke breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relieved expression.

"Has the master found out?" Li Xin was surprised. So fast?
"Yes!" Jing Ke handed the secret letter to Li Xin.

Li Xin took a closer look and showed a look of sudden realization, and at the same time he felt relieved.

There was only one word on the secret letter, a person who had disappeared for a long time.

"Dan"!
