'This kid…'
Thief Zhi muttered in his heart, Even though I didn't put in any effort just now, he was able to keep up with my speed with his sword. He's even more powerful than I imagined. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He actually had a killing intent.'
He had been a thief for many years and had been hunted down countless times. He had experienced many murderous auras. However, this was the first time he had encountered such a concentrated killing intent. It was as if the murderous aura was even sharper and suffocating than the black sword that was close to his throat.
However, he was also a person who had seen the world. If the killing intent really frightened him, he would not be able to break out of the title of the king of thieves. Jing Yu's words were heard by his ear, but he chuckled. With a swoosh, he had already appeared behind Jing Yu and sat down cross-legged on the other side of the table. As he poured himself a cup of tea, he asked Jing Yu again,
"You haven't told me why I can't steal.”
Obviously, he was going to forget about the sword pointing at him. This was not a kind of surrender, but also because he did not want to make his relationship with Jing Yu sour all of a sudden.
Master Xu, who was sitting opposite Jing Yu, also came back to his senses. Through Jing Yu's tiny body, he looked at the big hammer sitting cross-legged behind him…and indeed, he saw an unnatural expression on the latter's face.
If it was just a contest of strength, Master Xu had not seen it with his own eyes, so it was not easy to judge who would win. However, from what he had seen just now…it was clearly extremely heavy, and it was executed so quickly, yet it was silent. His control over his strength was also quite good, and he didn't even tremble when he suddenly stopped…This was a profound realm when it came to using the sword.
Master Xu guessed that it would be very difficult to find someone who could be compared to Jing Yu below the level of a first-rate sword expert. If Big Iron Hammer fought with him, he would lose more than win.
Big Iron Hammer knew his own capabilities the best, so he could clearly see this point. However, he was not a person who would retreat in the face of difficulties. He had not given up on the idea of competing.
Jing Yu glanced at Thief Zhi and said with a faint smile,""Didn't you all personally see the Qin Country's diplomatic corps today?”
When he mentioned this, Master Xu was even more bewildered. When did he become a target of the other party? Little did he know that Jing Yu did this intentionally. He had already seen Master Xu's appearance earlier. This time, he wanted to eliminate all his guesses and let him treat the encounter between the two sides as a coincidence.
Of course, in order to achieve this, he still needed the help of Thief Zhi, who didn't know the whole story.
"So it was you across the street earlier.”Thief Zhi rubbed his chin, his eyes slightly slanted as he asked,""Could it be that it has something to do with the Qin Country's diplomatic corps?”
When Master Xu heard the first half of Thief Zhi's sentence, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes. He knew that what he was about to say was more important…Moreover, he couldn't possibly express his suspicions in front of the other party, right? He decided to wait for Jing Yu to leave before asking Robber Zhi why he had left for half a day.
His expression was naturally controlled by Jing Yu. Jing Yu calmly continued to speak to Thief Zhi,
"Currently, there is no one in the world who is domineering and capable of doing so, but the King of Qin, Ying Zheng. The ore that you set as your target has caught his eye…If he wants it, would the King of Yan dare to refuse?”
"So, the envoy group is here for this.”Master Xu frowned.
When the three of them saw the envoy group of the Qin Country, they had all made guesses. They really did not expect that a dignified king would send an envoy for a piece of ore. Master Xu felt that it was a pity. If he lost that precious ore, he would lose the chance to forge a world-famous sword. However, if he seized it, he was afraid that Ying Zheng would take the opportunity to attack the Yan Country again. He had already conquered Han, Zhao, and Wei. He was the king of the world's largest territory and strength.
"This Ying Zheng is really going too far!" Big Iron Hammer grunted in a low and muffled voice. He seemed to have thought of something and shook his head and sighed. Jing Yu guessed that he was probably angry at the Yan Country's royal family for not competing.
Thief Zhi suddenly laughed," So that's what you're planning. I understand now."”
Big Iron Hammer and Teacher Xu looked at him, while Jing Yu only smiled without saying a word. He picked up the teacup and slowly drank it…How could the ordinary tea in this inn compare to the tea he usually drank? Sometimes, it was just to add a bit of mystery.
Master Xu looked at Jing Yu and praised his calmness. He couldn't help but ask,"
"Little Zhi, what do you understand?”
" This kid, uh..." He was casually pointing at Jing Yu, but Jing Yu gave him a warning glare. He quickly retracted his finger." Tsk, petty!"”He muttered softly and continued,"He wants to rob the Qin country's diplomatic corps halfway. This way, won't he be able to obtain that ore? However, I still don't understand. Why can't I steal?”
That ore was in the hands of the Qin people, and he had the ability to take it. Even if Jing Yu sent someone to rob him first, he could still steal it from Jing Yu. He was the king of the Thief Kings and was confident that there was nothing in the world that he could not steal. He couldn't steal. This was the first time he heard someone say that to him.
"That's right!" Big Iron Hammer struck his right palm with his left fist, making a loud sound." Little Zhi, don't believe his words. You must steal that stupid stone." By the way, he had to steal it when the Qin envoy left the territory of the Yan Country.”
" Of course, I know this. You don't have to…" Thief Zhi stopped here. He was shocked and looked at Jing Yu suspiciously." Could it be that you actually want to snatch that ore in Yan Country?"”
In this case, that piece of ore would become an excuse for the Qin Country to use force against the Yan Country. It was really a hot topic. If he stole it, it would be difficult to explain in the future, and it might even attract the censure of the entire world for the Mo Family…He indeed could not steal it, even if it was from Jing Yu's hands.
"What?" Big Hammer slapped his thigh and stood up." What did you say?”
It wasn't that he didn't hear it clearly, it was just that he found it hard to believe. Not to mention him, even the skinny Master Xu stopped stroking his beard and stared blankly at Jing Yu.
This was a major event that could bring war to the Yan Country! What kind of heart did an eight-year-old have to come up with such a plan? How could he calmly drink tea in the face of the death of hundreds of thousands of people?
For the first time in his life, he felt a little scared, and his back couldn't help but become wet.
Other than the sound of Big Hammer's panting, the room was completely silent. The three people from the Mo family looked at Jing Yu from three different directions as if they were looking at a monster.
"What an impolite gaze." Jing Yu put down his teacup and narrowed his eyes at Thief Zhi and Master Xu." I do want to get that ore in the territory of the Yan Country, and I want to wait until the King of Yan agrees to give it to the King of Qin."”
"You can't do that!" Big Iron Hammer took two or three steps to the table and half-knelt on the other side of the table. He tilted his body and said to Jing Yu.
"Why not?" Although Jing Yu raised his head to look at him, his imposing manner pressed down on Big Iron Hammer instead." Let me ask you, which country am I from?”
"This…"
Big Hammer was stumped. Teacher Xu and Thief Zhi looked at each other and remembered. Wasn't the child in front of him from Chu? What did the life and death of the Yan Country have to do with him? In the 500 years of history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many examples of people who did not care about the life and death of other countries. Even the kings and generals of the Yan Country could not guarantee that they had not done anything to frame other countries.
"If we leave the Yan Country and enter the Qin Country, we will attack. Indeed, the Yan Country could be removed from the matter. However, the world knows that I want to take it. Who would the King of Qin suspect? It must be the Chu Country." Jing Yu looked at the surprised Robber Zhi and sneered,""You seem to have thought of it too, right? That's right, not only in the Yan Country, but even if you leave the Yan Country and enter the Qin Country, you can't steal that ore.”
He then turned to look at Teacher Xu." You may not be able to get that ore, but I can.”
"But, even if you were to rob him from within the borders of the Yan Kingdom, wouldn't Ying Zheng still know that you were the one who did it?”Master Xu stroked his three-inch goat-like white beard." He will still bear a grudge against you. This is also disadvantageous to your Chu Country.”
Big Iron Hammer was not good at using his brain. He couldn't help but reveal a happy expression when he heard this and nodded desperately.
Jing Yu felt that it was funny. He glanced at him and asked Teacher Xu,""Are the Chu Country and the Qin Country compatible?"
" This..." Master Xu revealed a troubled expression. After a while, he shook his head.
"Ying Zheng has the intention to destroy the Chu Country, will he change it?”Jing Yu asked again.
Master Xu shook his head again.
"In that case, the Xiang Clan that I protect in Chu will always be a thorn in his side, right?”Jing Yu asked again.
Master Xu was silent.
"If that's the case, why should I do something that will satisfy him?”Jing Yu spread out his hands and said.
These words were irrefutable. Master Xu fixed his eyes on Jing Yu. It was hard to imagine that he was only an 8-year-old child. What could he do to nurture such an outstanding child?
'The Xiang Clan is probably limitless in his hands.'He came to this conclusion in his heart.
Big Hammer was still unwilling to give up. She grabbed her bald head and was really pulled out by him…Cough, she had thought of an idea.
Thief Zhi looked at the big iron hammer in surprise and thought to himself, could it be that this guy suddenly became enlightened?
Master Xu understood what Big Hammer was trying to say. He followed the Mohist school's ideology and didn't forge a sword for Jing Yu, so it was useless for Jing Yu to snatch the ore. Even though he felt that it was a pity, Teacher Xu remained silent and agreed with Big Iron Hammer's words…As a disciple of the Mo Family, he naturally could not go against the thoughts of his ancestor.
Jing Yu glanced at the hammer from the corner of his eyes and laughed."Don't tell me…you really think I'm here to ask Teacher Xu to forge a sword?”
"Don't tell me you still want to give orders?" Big Iron Hammer's nose seemed to be spewing out white gas like an angry bull. His copper bell eyes bulged." My Mo family is not afraid of you, the young master of the Xiang family.”
Jing Yu sneered and raised a finger." This is just a deal! I provided him with the opportunity to forge a famous sword, and he forged a famous sword for me. The moment he receives my ores will be the day he receives his reward. That's all. We don't owe each other anything. If he was unwilling, the deal would be canceled. Was there no one in the world who could forge a famous sword?”
Jing Yu stood up, wrapped the black sword in a cloth, and carried it on his back before walking towards the door. Just as he was about to leave, he did not turn back but said to the hesitant Master Xu,"
"Ore, whether you agree or not, I'm going to take it. You can consider carefully whether you want to forge a sword for me. If you agree, I hope you can put in more effort. In addition, you can try to stop me. "The Hundred Schools of Philosophy, with the Mohist School and the Confucian School as the leaders, I also want to see how deep this pool of water is. Farewell!"
He opened the door. Although he was small, he walked out with his head held high.
