Late at night, Wei Yang finished his work and was playing chess with Bai Shun in his room. Outside, a few dark figures were approaching…
"Pan He, you actually failed last time. This time, I will be in charge of killing Tyrannical Wei Yang.”The masked man in black whispered to the masked swordsman beside him. "Jing Wei will naturally listen to the orders of the branch leader.”A glint flashed across the swordsman's eyes, but he hid it. "Good! Then listen to my command, everyone…release your arrows!!”With the masked man's order, the surrounding assassins in black took out simple crossbows from their backs. They had a sharp sword on them and aimed them at the room. "Wait, there's someone else in the room." The swordsman named Pan He heard the sounds of chess playing in the room and hurriedly stopped them.
There was someone playing chess, so it was impossible for there to be only one person. Wouldn't it kill the innocent if the arrows went in randomly?
"Forget it. If I retreat again and fail this time, where will my prestige be? Release the arrows!" The masked man's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness as he roared in a low voice.
In the room, Li Xiang could hear their conversation clearly. The swordsman called Jing Wei could hear the sound of their game in the room. Li Xiang's martial arts skills were much higher than his, so how could he not hear them? Unfortunately, they mistook the two people in the room for ordinary scholars who didn't know martial arts. Or, they mistook Bai Shun for an ordinary scholar.
Crossbows had appeared in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and repeating crossbows had been around since the Warring States Period. The Mo family's repeating crossbows were even more sophisticated and powerful. The firing of a few dozen people's repeating crossbows was actually comparable to a small archery unit! Nearly a hundred arrows shot fiercely into the house one after another. Under such power, even the beams of the house might be broken. It was indeed worthy of being a strong crossbow enhanced by the Mo family's mechanism technique. However, something unexpected happened in this sure-kill situation. Just as all the arrows were about to enter the room, a golden layer of air suddenly appeared, forming a natural barrier.
When all the arrows hit the air layer, it was as if they had hit the hardest rock. The arrows broke one after another, and not a single arrow could pass through the air layer. In the room, Li Xiang, who was originally fighting with Wei Yang, had a dragon-shaped Qi flow that was the same color as the Qi wall outside. It circled around his wrist. -- This was actually Li Xiang's first time using a spell! This was an earth-type spell technique that used the spirit of the earth to attack and defend, the Imperial Heaven and Earth. In addition, Li Xiang's Black Tortoise Spirit was skilled in defense. If he wanted to break through this qi wall, he would have to use all the peerless experts in the world at the same time.
Li Xiang had spent hundreds of thousands of exchange points to exchange for these spells from the system.
Seeing this scene, the assassins outside were all shocked. Then, they immediately understood that there was a peerless expert in the room. Without waiting for the branch leader to give the order, they all decisively prepared to retreat. The masked swordsman, on the other hand, had consciously chosen to stay behind to cover the rear. He did not hesitate at all. It was unknown if they had discussed this beforehand or if they were really so well-trained.
"May I ask which Taoist master is here?”The swordsman stayed behind to cover the rear, but he did not see the "peerless expert" appear for a long time. He could not help but ask into the room.
To the swordsmen, what had blocked the arrow just now was probably the most mysterious Daoist spell of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. But now, the Yin-Yang School had betrayed Taoism and was hunted down until their sect lost all its books. The Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the various countries still only regarded Yin-Yang as a part of Taoism.
"I'm not a Daoist." Before Li Xiangsheng arrived, he had already arrived. By the time he arrived, he had already removed the sword from the swordsman's hand. Li Xiang grabbed the swordsman's wrist, and the golden dragon-shaped airflow on his hand was transferred to the swordsman's body, binding his hands.
"Come, follow me into the palace." Li Xiang kicked the masked swordsman and said. [The person playing chess with Wei Yang is actually a descendant of the Sagemaster. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, the Mo Family would have been destroyed.]] The swordsman thought with lingering fear and obediently followed Li Xiang's footsteps.
Wei Yang did not step out of the room. Li Xiang had already told him that he would handle this matter. Wei Yang only needed to stabilize the country.
······
In the Qin Palace, Bai Shun was sitting at the side, drinking wine. Ying Quliang, on the other hand, was looking at the young swordsman in front of him, whose mask had already been removed, and began to 'ask and converse'.
The young swordsman was indeed a disciple of the Mo Family, and he was the last disciple that Mo Di had taken in before his death. He was considered the junior brother of the Mo Family's giant, Qin Huali. He had a very high seniority, but very few people respected him. It was unknown if Qin Huali had been influenced by Taoism, but he had gone on a sightseeing trip without saying a word. The Mo Family was suddenly without a leader, and many troubles had appeared. This assassination was decided by the leaders of all the branches of the Mo Family, and the majority of them opposed it, so it was carried out. However, this swordsman named Pan He believed that such tyranny should not have appeared in the State of Qin, where Li Xiang was present. There might be some hidden reasons, so he deliberately went easy on Ying Quliang during the first assassination. And this time, he had taken the initiative to cover the rear because he wanted to find a way to meet one of Li Xiang, Wei Yang, and Ying Quliang, so as to find out the truth of the matter.
When Pan He gave the order to shoot the arrows at the branch leader, his heart had already turned cold. Once the arrows were shot, they would basically become mortal enemies with the State of Qin. Fortunately, Li Xiang blocked all of them and there were no casualties.
"Did Qin Jun use Wei Yang's reform to kill more than seven hundred people at the bank of the Wei River, and the second time, he killed the famous scholar Zhao Kang, six county magistrates, and a dozen Li Zheng?”Pan He sat in front of the table and asked in a deep voice. "Yes, I had no choice." Ying Quliang's mood immediately dropped when this matter was brought up again, and he nodded. "Demolish hundreds of thousands of houses and force civilians to live in villages!”Pan He asked again. "That's the Xintian system. The people are happy!”Ying Quliang slapped the table and said. He could tolerate others saying that he had killed more than seven hundred people, but he would not allow anyone to misinterpret the reform. "All the countries in Shandong have heard of the reform of the Qin State. The Mohists have also taken note of it for a long time. This time, they are dispatched to get rid of the tyrant and kill the powerful and cruel officials. Carry out the Great Way of Universal Love." Pan He said righteously.
"Oh, so the Mo Family is the Pacific Ocean Police.”Li Xiang said with a disdainful smile. "What do you mean?" Pan He asked with a frown. Even though he didn't understand what " Pacific Ocean Police " meant, he could feel the disdain and dissatisfaction in Li Xiang's tone.
"What right does the Mo Family have to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries?”Li Xiang asked lightly. "The tyrant is unkind, the commoners suffer, and everyone in the world can interfere.”Pan He replied. "Then I see that the Mo family is short-witted and assassinated the ruler of a country without distinguishing between right and wrong. They only know how to love everyone and not attack. Can I help your Mo family clean up the sect?”Li Xiang asked with a smile. "The Mo family has its own rules, there's no need to…Then the Qin country also has its laws, so you can do whatever you want? Once you enter the State of Qin, you are citizens of the State of Qin and are subject to the laws of the State of Qin!”Li Xiang coldly snorted.
"The Mohist School regards Shen Zhang Zhengyi as their home. If there is really something hidden behind the reform of the Qin country, as long as the Mohist School knows, they will definitely not do such a reckless thing again.”Pan He was forced by Li Xiang's powerful aura. A drop of sweat dripped from his forehead as he said. " As expected, it's still the Pacific Ocean Police." Li Xiang shook his head. The internal affairs of a country actually had to be told and clarified to a school of thought, and they even had to agree. Who did the Mo Family think they were? The Heavenly King?
"The Mo Family is still the same. If there is any objection, you can let the giant judge. If the two of you still have doubts, I am willing to raise objections to the giant.”Pan He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "If Master Mozi was here, it would still be reasonable. But Qin Huali inherited the title of a giant, and she didn't even see anyone.”Ying Quliang shook his head and sighed.
"After the teacher passed away, the new tycoon Qin Huali temporarily disappeared. The Mohist school indeed discriminates against the current political situation, but most of the disciples are pure in nature. If they can explain clearly, even if the branch leader orders, not a single disciple will come to assassinate them. However, I must first understand the reform of the Qin country before I can raise any objections. If the Qin country is really tyrannical, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you.”
Pan He's words were quite reasonable. In front of the Great Qin Country, which had yet to be unified, he had the right to say such things. If it was Great Qin, who would talk to him about such things?
"Alright, little brother, feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know. Later, you can also go to the commoners of the Qin country to check and see if my Qin country's reform is harming the commoners!”Ying Quliang swept away the haze and said loudly.
Duke Xiao of Qin was good at this because the State of Qin had been weak for a long time. He treated everyone and everything with a humble attitude.
For example, from the moment Li Xiang met Ying Quliang, he had never once addressed himself as " I ". He had always addressed himself as " Quliang " or " I ", which was truly rare.
