Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1270 How to overcome the superior from below
  The time went back to when Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng had just finished playing chess and before they returned to Little Sage Village.

After he left the Yaxia Inn, he did not go back to the city directly, but went to see Gao Jianli and others first.

In his next plan, people from the Mo family need to show up.

When Master Ban saw Zhang Liang coming over, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Haha, Zifang has been playing this game for a long time."

Zhang Liang replied with a smile, "I was feeling itch for a while, so I couldn't help but play a few more games with Senior Fan to make everyone laugh."

Then he mentioned his purpose, "I wonder how the arrangements I made a few days ago are going?"

Although Zhang Liang has not come to see anyone from the Mo family these days, he once sent a message asking the people from the Mo family to find a hidden and safe meeting place. He was useful.

"Oh, you said that." Master Ban waved his hand, "It's just a meeting place. It's been prepared a long time ago. I'm just waiting for your news."

Zhang Liang nodded slightly, "Then, we can continue planning today."

Master Xu interjected from the side, "In that case, Zifang, you should tell us in detail. We have been very confused these days."

"Hahaha..." Zhang Liang chuckled a few times, clasped his hands and saluted, "It's Liang who was reckless, I hope I'll forgive you, I'm sorry!"

The snow girl stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sir, please tell us first what the plan is."

Zhang Liang glanced at Xue Nu, the smile on his lips remained unchanged, "Of course."

"The next plan is actually very simple. I will bring my second senior brother, Yan Lu, to meet you."

"The location is the place I asked you to choose before. As for who will meet him, it is up to you."

"But the next plan is still closely related to Tianming, so... you can consider candidates from this aspect."

"Yan Lu?" Gao Jianli repeated the name, and looked at each other with Master Ban and others, filled with doubts and worries.

In the entire Xiaoshengxian Village, Zhang Liang was the only one who truly gained the trust of the Mohists.

With the current identity of the Mo family - that is, as a rebel in the empire, it is a huge risk to meet any outsider who is not convinced that they are reliable enough, let alone an important figure like the little sage Zhuang Er.

If ordinary people report to the officials that they have discovered a wanted criminal, the court may send a small team to search the matter. But if a person of Yan Lu's status reports them, the court may send an army to scrape the nearby land. .

Even if they choose a secret meeting place that is far enough away from the stronghold and without any traces leading to the stronghold, the risk is still very high.

Gao Jianli said bluntly, "Can you tell me why? Sir, you should know very well that doing this is very dangerous for the Mohist family."

"Of course." Zhang Liang nodded slightly, "The main reason is to add an extra layer of insurance to the safety of Tianming and Shaoyu."

The snow girl frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Although the two of them are temporarily sheltered in the Little Saint's Villa under my arrangement, there is still a risk of exposure - this is not for the outside, but for the inside."

"I am confident that people in the empire will never find out the clues, but... I can't guarantee that something is not going to be discovered within the Confucian family, especially since Fu Nian, the head of the Confucian family, has hidden this from my senior brother. I am very unsure about this."

"It can even be said that he will definitely notice something is wrong, especially when Tianming's performance is so out of the ordinary. It's just a matter of time."

Master Ban nodded and expressed his understanding, "I see... So you plan to rope in Mr. Yan Lu to join in and help you hide Master Fu Nian?"

"Ha!" Zhang Liang smiled and shook his head, "That's not the case."

"I can't hide it from my senior brother, no matter what. Even if my second senior brother is willing to help me, it's useless." "There is only one way to ensure that Tianming Shaoyu can stay safely in the Little Sage Manor, and that is to get the permission of my senior brother." .”

Confucianism attaches great importance to the superiority of elders and younger ones. It is said that elder brothers are like fathers, and senior brothers are the same. As long as Fu reads a word, it will be useless no matter how hard Zhang Liang tries.

Master Xu frowned and quickly stroked his beard with his palms, "This... I'm afraid it won't be easy. I remember that Feng Ping, the head of Fu Nian, is a very... serious person."

Fu Nian is known as the embodiment of Confucian etiquette and walking rules. No matter what he thinks, it is impossible for such a person to choose to go against the empire as the ruler.

"That's true." Zhang Liang nodded, acknowledging Master Xu's worries, "As long as the matter is exposed, it is impossible for me and the second senior brother to persuade the senior brother to agree."

"Then you..." Master Ban raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Liang doubtfully.

"There is only one person in the entire Little Saint Xian Village who can convince Senior Brother..." Zhang Liang hurriedly spoke out his true goal before Master Ban could ask, "The ultimate goal of this plan is only him." .”

………………

"Ouch...I'm so exhausted!"

The sun was setting, and the dim yellow color filled the entire sky. Tianming was dragging his tired body and complaining, while preparing to return to the three provinces house to rest.

No matter what punishment Fu Nian would bring, he didn't care anymore. He just wanted to go back to the dormitory, lie on the bed and sleep comfortably.

Chef Ding's eagerness makes it impossible for Tianming to escape, so he can only learn sword skills from him.

The last sentence that Cook Ding specifically emphasized, "No slacking off," was clearly not something he said casually. He trained Tian Ming very intensively, and in just over an hour, the energetic young man was exhausted.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Tianming has not had a good rest since last night and has been worried.

But it also has something to do with Tianming not being interested in sword skills or anything like that.

Because of his promise and the fact that the chef tempted him with delicious food throughout the whole process, Tianming managed to persevere.

It’s hard to say whether you’ve learned anything or not.

But at least it’s not like when I studied with Master Ben and the others before, I always gave up halfway.

As for how long we can persist in the future, we can only take one step at a time and see.

Just as Tianming was wandering around the village, a figure stopped in front of him.

Tianming was suddenly blocked by a shadow, and immediately stopped and looked up, "Oh, Zhang... er, Third Master."

Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile as he looked at the hunched-over young man who looked like he couldn't bear the burden of life.

Tianming always felt that his smile was dangerous, so he unconsciously took a step back and asked carefully, "Are you... okay?"

"Come with me, Ziming." Zhang Liang did not answer, but just greeted him, gesturing for Tianming to follow.

Tianming looked around and felt that he did not look like someone who was ordered by Fu Nian to punish him, so he endured his fatigue for the time being and followed him.

After making many twists and turns, the two of them arrived at a relatively remote and hidden corner.
