Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1486 First Cooperation
  From the meaning of Zhang Han's two sentences, it is not difficult to see that he was refuting Li Si.

Zhang Han's reason for refuting Li Si is very simple - he wants to use the Mo family to make meritorious deeds. Of course, he will blame the Mo family as much as possible.

Stacking a layer of buffs is a credit.

Li Si looked sideways at Zhang Han who stood next to him and saluted Fusu, hesitated for a moment and then asked:

"Does General Zhang Han think that the Mo family is the mastermind behind this assassination?"

"I don't have any ideas, I just look at the evidence." Zhang Han responded in a deep voice, "In any case, the Mo family's thieves appeared at the scene that day, and the Mo family is naturally the most suspect."

Zhang Han spared no effort to tighten the pot.

Theoretically speaking, Li Si should be happy to see the Mo family being blamed for this assassination.

After all, he was trapped in a trap, and he might also take the blame.

As long as it's not him, no matter who the blame is placed on, regardless of whether it's true or not, it's a good thing for him.

So why would Li Si try to clear the Mo family of suspicion?

Although Li Si had not yet had time to reveal his purpose, Zhang Han guessed it.

This guy must be taking the opportunity to divert trouble again and let Confucianism take the blame!

It can be said that this Li Xiangguo is sparing no effort and thinking single-mindedly about how to deal with his master.

Zhang Han once wondered whether the people at Xiaoshengxian Village bullied Li Si every day when he was studying.

Why are you just staring at it?
  Zhang Han naturally didn't understand how stubborn Li Si was about maintaining his position as the head of officials.

He couldn't understand, and he didn't want to think too much.

Anyway, his shadow guard has little interaction with Li Si, the prime minister. As long as he doesn't ruin his mission, let him go crazy.

Zhang Han then reported to Fusuhui:

"When we were rounding up Thieves Zhi at the end of the day, Bai Feng happened to pass by."

Once he heard that people from Liusha were involved, Li Si was no longer in a hurry to tell Zhang Han about the suspicions surrounding the Mo family. He immediately looked at Fusu, wondering how he would respond.

"Bai Feng..." Fusu pondered for a moment and then asked, "General Zhang is worried that he is not just passing by by chance?"

"Please forgive me, Sir, I will have to consider as many aspects as possible." Zhang Han expressed his affirmation with a euphemistic answer.

Fusu smiled and nodded, "I understand, I understand."

"However, I don't know whether Bai Feng just passed by by chance."

"There is only one news I can tell you."

"what news?"

"Bai Feng, currently takes orders from the master of Niqulisha - Wei Zhuang." Fusu replied with a chuckle.

Fusu had just learned about this news.

As for why Fusu knew so late...because it happened not too early.

A more specific detail is that Wei Zhuang reported to Liusha that he had no one available and needed to second people.

Then Gu Xun gave him part of the manpower near Sanghai, and Bai Feng happened to be among them.

Although Gu Xun arranged a lot of surveillance tasks for Bai Feng, in fact, this boy was very busy every day.

He relied on birds to keep track of them, but he didn't keep track of them himself.

If anything happens, Bird will report it to him, and then he will report it to Gu Xun and others.

To put it bluntly, he is just a transfer station, and it is a mobile one. It doesn't matter where it is.

In this case, it is normal for Gu Xun to squeeze the remaining value of his subordinates.

But this gave Zhang Han a headache.

Fusu's rhetoric seems to have little nutrition.

It is common for Liusha's manpower to be seconded to Niliusha - of course, on the surface, the two companies have nothing to do with each other. The so-called seconded manpower are all temporary workers.

Anyway, just find some excuses to fool the outside world.

If you want to believe it, then believe it. If you don’t want to believe it, just pretend that you do.

However, although this kind of behavior is common, the meaning it represents may vary from time to time.

Bai Feng temporarily falls under Ni Liusha's command, which means that he has nothing to do with the empire - Liusha is a part of the empire, but Ni Liusha is not. They are a serious and notorious bounty killer gang. Anyone who can be on the wanted list kind.

At this juncture, Bai Feng's camp quietly changed, and Zhang Han found it hard to believe that there wasn't something fishy hidden behind it.

However, it was okay for Zhang Han to think about this in his own mind, but it was a bit inappropriate to say it in front of Fusu.

After all, Niqiusha says it has nothing to do with Liusha, but you can't really think that they have nothing to do with each other.

It is rude to curse the father to the son.

This master is also a father!
  But it won’t work if we don’t make it clear, otherwise it will be difficult for Zhang Han to make arrangements next time.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Han had no choice but to ask tentatively:
  "Your Highness, if Bai Feng has fallen under the countercurrent sand at this time, then maybe his appearance...is not accidental?"

Compared to Zhang Han, who was in a difficult situation, Fusu's expression was very natural, and he nodded with a slight smile:

"General Zhang's judgment is not unreasonable."

"Nike Liusha is just a group of professional killers who get paid to do things. They have no position to speak of."

"The previous cooperation with the empire was just a business deal, but now, that business has ended long ago."

Fusu mentioned the previous transaction. As the leader, Li Si must have said something, so he nodded in agreement:

"Nike Liusha has never been loyal to the empire sincerely. He is just for profit and is used by me for the time being."

Glancing sideways at Li Si who spoke righteously, Zhang Han couldn't help but curl his lips.

Lord Xiangguo, why do I feel what you mean?

Regardless of whether Li Si had any hidden connotations, at this point, Zhang Han had the excuse he needed.

"In this case, Ni Liusha has probably switched sides..." Zhang Han clasped his fists towards Fusu and said, "It seems that the general will need to include Wei Zhuang among his imaginary enemies."

Fusu just smiled and nodded, seeming to acquiesce.

This made Zhang Han breathe a sigh of relief - just allow him to take action against Niqusha.

Li Si then raised questions:

"General Zhang's judgment of defecting against the quicksand is not without purpose."

"However, the city was destroyed and the Mohist giant died. It can be said that these things were caused by Wei Zhuang."

"How did the two of them achieve cooperation?"

In order to achieve cooperation, both parties have to say a few words, right?

As far as the relationship between the Mo family and Wei Zhuang is concerned, if they are going to be brainless when they meet, how can there be anything to say?
  Zhang Han heard this and responded, "Business and hustle and bustle, good things come and good things go."

"Nike Liusha will cooperate with the Empire for profit. Of course, we can also cooperate with Mohism for profit."

"As for the Mo family... although they are all stubborn people, it's hard to say whether someone's brain will suddenly open up. After all, their current situation is really not good."

"They have no choice!"

………………

On the outskirts of Songhai City, the temporary stronghold of the Mohist family.

I forgot to mention before that this stronghold is located on the seaside to the north of Songhai, not far from the city. Because it is hidden under the cliff, the concealment is pretty good, but the chance of exposure is still high.

But for the Mo family, this place is an excellent hiding place - this location is not very safe, but it has a natural and stable escape route, enough to ensure that all of them can safely evacuate in the event of an accident.

At this time, two rare guests came to the Mohist stronghold.

One is Wei Zhuang and the other is Bai Feng.

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie stood on the beach, facing the endless East China Sea, silent.

Behind them are Bai Feng and everyone from the Mo family.

Bai Feng just arrived.

He came to deliver a piece of news:
  '"Before I came, I confirmed that your thief-bone partner was captured by the Shadow Guards."

Big Iron Hammer touched his head in displeasure and muttered angrily:

"Thief Zhi was obviously caught according to the plan, why do you make your words so unpleasant?"

Bai Feng sneered at this and did not respond.

He is a proud and arrogant master, and he has always looked down upon the people of the Mo family.

It's not that he thinks the people of the Mo family are not strong enough, but that they don't have enough brains.

However, he was not very resistant to cooperating with people from the Mo family.

Although he despises this group of people, he doesn't dislike them that much - at most, he just doesn't like Tao Zhi.

Bai Feng has this slightly contradictory attitude, which is inseparable from his character.

He and Mo Crow are different, just like the sharp difference between White Phoenix and Crow.

Mo Ya's whole person has been completely darkened from the inside out. Ideals, beliefs, ambitions, sensibility, truth, goodness, beauty, etc., etc... beautiful words are just words to him.

Of course, that's not to say that Mo Ya is some heinous and vicious anti-social element. He is just... very realistic.

So for Mo Ya, the philosophy that the Mo family adheres to is boring.

He won't look down on it, but he doesn't look down on it either. He just... simply doesn't want to be contaminated at all.

But Bai Feng is different.

He has always lived under the protection of Mo Crow's wings, and he still carries some young people's sentiments to this day.

So in his heart, he had a vague feeling for the people of the Mo family... Let's call it goodwill.

If he was completely unwilling to pay attention to the Mo family, he would have run away the moment he finished reporting the letter.

Wei Zhuang did not require him to have contact with the Mo family.

Even so, Bai Feng's attitude was too bad in the eyes of others.

The hot-tempered Sledgehammer was already unhappy, and seeing him like this made him even more unhappy.

If it weren't for Gao Jianli's pressure from the side, Big Hammer would have cursed again at this moment.

He has always been quick with his mouth.

Even if restraint is maintained, the atmosphere between the two parties will inevitably become increasingly tense - although it was not lively at the beginning.

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie were not affected at all. They stood side by side in silence, not knowing whether they were pretending to be serious or thinking about something.

At this time, the person who eased the atmosphere came.

"Hahaha..." Zhang Liang came over with a gentle laugh, "It seems that everyone has received the news."

As soon as Zhang Liang appeared, the atmosphere immediately relaxed a lot, and even Gai Nie and Weizhuang, who had been motionless, turned to look at him.

The unhappy Sledgehammer immediately became excited when he saw Zhang Liang, scratched his head and complained to him:

"Mr. Zhang San, is your plan reliable?"

"Don't let the cook fail to save him in the end and let the bandit in again."

Zhang Liang smiled and waved his hand, signaling the big hammer to calm down:

"This is indeed a risky move, and I understand your concerns, but this is also an unavoidable choice."

"The location of the Tooth-gnawing Prison is top secret. Even I and Brother Wei Zhuang don't know the specific location of its entrance."

"Now that Zhang Han and his secret shadow guards have gotten involved again, it's really not appropriate to delay the situation any longer. We must rescue the people as soon as possible."

"With no other choice, I had no choice but to throw myself at the stone of Brother Zhizhi and ask for directions."

"That's true, but it's still very worrying!" Master Ban stroked his beard with a worried look on his face.

"Now our opponent has been replaced by Zhang Han. The troops are in danger and we have no choice."

Sledgehammer interrupted and asked, "So, what is Zhang Han's background? Is he very powerful?"

Gai Nie took over the conversation and replied:
  "Zhang Han is another highly regarded young general in the empire after Meng Tian in recent years."

"Unlike men like Meng Tian, ​​Wang Li and others from a distinguished family, Zhang Han comes from a humble background, but he has strong martial arts skills at a young age, and he is meticulous and does everything flawlessly."

"The Shadow Secret Guards led by him are Ying Zheng's personal guards. They are also responsible for guarding the safety of the royal family members. They have a low official rank, but they hold the power of life and death. They directly accept Ying Zheng's orders. They are of low status and power, and are deeply loved by Ying Zheng. The government is important."

After thinking for a moment, Gai Nie added, "Gu Xun once served as the commander of the Shadow Secret Guard for a period of time, and Zhang Han was his deputy, so Zhang Han, Liusha, and the eldest son's faction have always been close."

The second half of the sentence made the people of the Mo family involuntarily look at Wei Zhuang, their eyes a little subtle.

Wei Zhuang ignored these glances, raised the corner of his mouth with a happy arc, and said coldly, "Now, we are not just getting closer."

"Huh?" Ganie looked at his junior brother
  "Before coming to Sanghai, Ying Zheng had handed over the full authority of the Shadow Guard to Fu Su Lai."

"Now Zhang Han and his secret shadow guards only obey Fusu's orders."

Zhang Liang added with a smile, "So once Fusu was assassinated, the Shadow Guards who had always been hiding in the shadows and coming and going silently became active immediately."

"Wait a minute!" Master Ban suddenly interrupted all the voices, frowned and looked at Zhang Liang and asked, "Listening to what you said, Zifang, Zhang Han's big fight is not against the Mo family at all, but to capture and assassinate The mastermind behind Fusu?”

Zhang Liang nodded without hesitation, "That's right."

"Then why did he focus on Xiaozhi as soon as he came up?" Master Ban asked puzzledly.

Although Thief Zhi was the bait they took the initiative to throw out, it was Zhang Han who set his sights on Thief Zhi first - that's why they made this decision.

So why did Zhang Han believe that the Mohists were behind the scenes?
  Of course, as the number one rebel, the Mo family is suspect.

But the suspicion is really not high.

Not to mention that this kind of assassination operation full of intrigues does not match the Mohist family's usual style of doing things. The key is that the Mohist family, which has just suffered a heavy blow, has the will but no power!
  Zhang Han was favored by Ying Zheng, which shows that he is not a good person to get along with. Such a person should not be unable to see that the Mo family is innocent.

Regarding Master Ban's question, Wei Zhuang laughed out loud and was the first to respond:
  "This is the most interesting part of this matter!"

………………

Songhai City, General's Mansion.

"There is something that I have always wanted to ask Your Highness." Zhang Han bowed to Fusu and said.

"But it doesn't matter."

"I remember that the young master had eaten at Haiyue Xiaozhu once before, so I would like to ask if the shark fin and bear paw on the day of the assassination was different from the first time you ate it, Your Highness?"

Fusu was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and replied:
  "This second time I had shark fin and bear paw, I had a very vague impression. After all, the person sitting at the table was not me."

"Judging from the few impressions it made on me, there should be no obvious difference from the first time."
