Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1222

Master Ban and others were deeply moved by Sledgehammer's efforts to use his brain.

I really tried very hard, but unfortunately it was of no use.

Do you still need to raise this conjecture now?
  Master Ban and the others had already considered this eight hundred years ago.

However, they didn't come up with any clues. There was too little information about the mirage.

And this part of the existing information basically points to one thing - the emperor seeks immortality and goes to sea to find the fairy mountain.

For everyone in the Mohist family who did not have such a strong sense of urgency when it came to their limited lifespan, they were completely unable to understand Ying Zheng's brain circuit.

In their view, seeking immortality is a matter of idleness, and going to sea to search for immortal mountains is even more serious.

Ying Zheng was the First Emperor who single-handedly destroyed six kingdoms and unified the world. No matter how much they criticized the tyrant, they still had some idea of ​​how difficult this man was to deal with.

Could such a person do such a stupid thing?
  That can't be done!

There must be a conspiracy!

This is why they still have to jump in even though they know that Songhai City is a sinkhole at this time.

Of course, the reality is that Ying Zheng's plan is so pure.

Their thoughts are also understandable - whether it is Ying Zheng or the Mohist family.

Those who believe in immortality naturally feel that this matter is the most important, and there is nothing to compare it with, so naturally they will not make additional calculations.

Those who don't believe in immortality will naturally think that these are all nonsense and pure nonsense, and they must have hidden agendas.

Conspiracies... do exist, but they have nothing to do with the empire.

Master Ben rubbed the center of his eyebrows to relieve his headache, and said with half-closed eyes, "There is no rush about the mirage. We know too little now, so we have to approach it step by step."

"It seems that I have to stay in Songhai for a while."

When Cook Ding heard this, he hurriedly said, "I can't keep anyone here, not even one!"

"Yesterday, the ancient master specially told me that the shop must be kept open during this period and not closed. He may come to eat at any time."

"It's too dangerous for any of you to stay."

"I know, I definitely won't keep anyone here with you." Master Ban waved his hand and rolled his eyes, "We all know that you are being targeted by Gu Xun, who do you think is willing to stay longer?"

"We all withdrew to the stronghold outside the city, leaving only Xiaozhi, who is responsible for assisting Fatty Ding in investigating the situation in the city, and at the same time passing on the news in a timely manner."

Nowadays, in Songhai, it is not difficult to find out information, but it is more difficult to deliver information, especially if you want to connect the behavior inside and outside the city.

If it weren't for the inconvenience in communication, Chef Ding would have sent out a message overnight yesterday to ask Master Ban not to go into the city yet. As a result, a group of people would have been stuck in an inn and speculated about Gu Xun's thoughts.

In this case, only by using the Thief Zhi as a humanoid communication tool can a relatively timely intelligence communication channel be established.

"No problem!" Thief Zhi replied as coquettishly as ever, twirling the two locks of hair on his forehead and raising his eyebrows.

Cook Ding had nothing to say. He absolutely recognized the speed of Thief Zhi.

"By the way, one more thing. Not to mention that the city is heavily guarded. The General's Mansion is heavily blocked at this time. A large number of soldiers are stationed to guard it. Several streets around it have been cleared."

"General's Mansion?" Master Ban and others looked at Cook Ding with blank expressions. Pirate Zhi asked one more question, "There is also a General's Mansion in Songhai? Shouldn't this only exist in Xianyang?"

Serious generals are the top figures among military generals. They are naturally from the Beijing circle, and only their residences can be called general mansions.

Although military generals always have to lead troops to fight all over the world, this does not mean that they will build mansions everywhere.

It’s no wonder that Master Ban and others were a little confused when they first heard it. Upon seeing this, Cook Ding quickly explained the origin of the General's Mansion in detail, and then once again emphasized the tightness of the garrison there:
  "I can't get close to it at all, and I can't get any useful information. Rumors that are just nonsense are flying all over the streets."

Gao Jianli continued, "The reason for the heavy military garrison is for two things. Either there are important people who need to be protected, or there are important materials that need to be protected."

"What kind of general's residence do you think it is?"

The sledgehammer immediately slammed the table, causing the teapot to jump. "I think a big shot is definitely coming. How can this poor place be protected? The big ship will be important soon, and that thing can't be driven ashore!"

Master Ben had the rare feeling that the big hammer had been used for a short while, and nodded in agreement, "Old man, I think a big shot is coming too."

"Sanghai, not only is there a mirage about to set sail, but Ying Zheng's eastward patrol is also likely to pass through here. It is necessary to send someone to be the king's advance guard."

"Well...such a person must have a good background."

At this time, Tianming successfully broke free from the restraints of the snow girl who had already begun to let go, and crawled out from under the table.

He also learned to be smart and stopped arguing with the snow girl and focused on the topics that really interested him.

"Do you think this big shot could be me?" Tian Ming suppressed himself until his face turned red, but he didn't forget to lick his face and get closer to brag.

Unfortunately, I only received a few pairs of blank stares and no recognition.

"Hmph!" Tianming raised his head and groaned unconvinced, and then made a more serious guess, "Then... the big shot may be Uncle Gu, and his status should be very high, right?"

"Gu Xun's identity is certainly qualified, but..." Master Ban glanced at Tianming sideways, "Do you think he needs protection?"

"Uh... that's right, hahaha..." Tian Ming smiled dryly and scratched his head. He was so exhausted that he decisively retreated behind the scenes and stopped interfering.

Master Ban rolled his eyes angrily again, then straightened his expression and looked at Gai Nie:

"What do you think, Mr. Guy?"

Gai Nie thought for a moment and then replied, "If it is a protector, it will definitely not be for Gu Xun or Meng Tian. It must be other important officials of the empire."

"However, it may also be a protective object."

"Ordinary objects don't need heavy protection from the army. If this happens... there is a high probability that the General's Mansion contains important information."

"Yes, information!" Gai Nie was enlightened, making Master Ban and others suddenly excited, "This is the only thing that can be closely protected."

"In this case, Xiaozhi, if you have time, please pay more attention to the General's Mansion and see if you can find out anything."

"Of course, safety comes first, don't take risks!"

"I know, don't worry." The King of Thieves crossed his legs, looking content.

After the cook Ding had finished saying what he needed to say and the watchman had finished giving instructions, he turned his attention to Tian Ming, who looked like he was doing nothing. After hesitating for a moment, he asked:

"What about...our new giant?"

"It seems to me that his martial arts and strategy are... not quite enough. How should we arrange them?"

Master Ban waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this. Ju Zi, Shao Yu and Taoist Priest Xiao Ling have special status and have other arrangements."

Cook Ding immediately looked at Master Ben eagerly, looking very curious.

arrangement?

How to arrange?
