Constantly Setting Up!
The Holy Land of the scholarly faction.
The current leader of the Confucians, Fu Sheng, came to the Holy Land to find Half-Saint Xun Zi.
"Imperial Preceptor Han Xu wants to pray for rain for the common people. The First Emperor wants us to go and watch the ceremony.”
Xun Zi flipped through the bamboo slips and looked at the contents of the book seriously. He didn't even raise his head, but his voice slowly rang out,"What do you think of this matter?"
Fu Sheng said," Everyone knows that even saints can't control the weather. Therefore, the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Advisor prayed for rain to appease the people and let them know that the Imperial Court is also working hard.”
"However, this method is not smart enough, because once the prayer for rain fails, all the hopes of the people will turn into disappointment, and the hearts of the people will be lost. Perhaps the constellation of Mars guarding the heart will start to show signs from this matter.”
Xun Zi moved the bamboo slips and asked,"What else?"”
Fu Sheng continued," Ying Zheng may be overbearing, but he is not an incompetent ruler. It is impossible that he did not think of this. But he still invited us with great fanfare.”
"I think he wants to gather all of us in Xianyang. Perhaps…he thinks that we are the ones who caused the disaster of Mars guarding the heart.”
"He…"
Fu Sheng paused for a moment before saying,"They might start a bloodbath on the Hundred Schools of Philosophy."”
Xun Zi's voice sounded like he was reading a book.
"With Ying Zheng's personality, it is not surprising that he killed all the Hundred Clans.”
"However, you've missed one person.”
"Who?" Fu Sheng was startled.
"State Preceptor Han Xu!"
"Han Xu?"
" He's Guigu 'zi's disciple, but he's only twenty years old. How capable can he be?" Fu Sheng asked doubtfully. And even if he wasn't weak, he was comparable to Sun Bin, Pang Juan, and the others. He was just a general, so what was there to pay attention to?”
Xun Zi shook his head slightly and said," Even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi were still alive, do you think they are qualified enough for Ying Zheng to personally invite them out of the mountain?”
" This..." Fu Sheng thought for a moment and shook his head."A domineering and conceited man like Ying Zheng would at most get a piece of imperial token.”
" Not to mention," Xun Zi said," This time, it was Han Xu who prayed for rain. Since Ying Zheng dared to let him do it, there must be a reason."”
"Could it be that this Han Xu can really make the heavens rain?" Fu Sheng was shocked.”
Xun Zi shook his head." I don't know either. But you didn't include Han Xu in your deductions just now. If you miss out one person, the whole game might be wrong."”
"Teacher, what do you mean?"
Xun Zi said leisurely," The troubled times are coming. The Confucians will save the world. This is the proverb of Confucius. Sacrifice to the heavens and pray for rain. If it succeeds, it will be beneficial to the common people.”
"Therefore, you should lead your men.”
"What if Ying Zheng really has the intention to capture all of us in one fell swoop?" asked Fu Sheng.”
"I'll do it myself," Xun Zi said.”
Fu Sheng was relieved. As far as he knew, the Great Qin Imperial Court did not have any Half-Saint experts. Therefore, if Xun Zi came, the Great Qin Imperial Court would not be able to stop him.
…………
"The Yin-Yang School is a group of people who can't wait for the world to fall into chaos. They won't miss this opportunity.”
"The Mo family is timid and afraid of trouble. They might not dare to come.”
"What about the scholarly faction?"
On the Heaven Secret Pavilion, Han Xu placed a chess piece.
As he placed his piece, he speculated about the situation.
" The Confucian school of thought needs to rely on the Imperial Court. Moreover, the Confucian school has a Half-Saint overseeing it, so they shouldn't be too timid. There's a high chance that they'll come.”
At the thought of this, Han Xu narrowed his eyes."I've never fought with a Half-Saint. If I have the chance, I can fight Xun Zi.”
"Then, should we use this opportunity?”
Not long after Fu Sheng left, Xun Zi, who had been seriously reading a book, suddenly widened his eyes.
The white-haired Xun Zi was filled with surprise.
Just now, he actually felt a sense of danger.
Ever since he became a Half-Saint, he had never felt such a sense of crisis.
He frowned and thought, Who is thinking about me? Which mighty figure? The Venerable of the Yin-Yang School? Or the most mysterious Guigu 'zi?"
…………
The northern border of the Great Qin Empire, the Xiongnu Khaganate.
In the huge tent.
The tall and sturdy Chief Touman sat on a chair made of tiger bones.
He was holding a roasted wolf leg in each hand. As he ate, his mouth was full of oil as he looked at the person opposite him."The Great Qin Imperial Advisor wants to pray for rain? Why should I join in the fun?"
Opposite him was a man in a white robe. He wore a mask and said in a relaxed tone,"Once the rain prayer fails, wouldn't that be Chanyu's chance?”
"If we lose face in front of the Chanyu, Great Qin's reputation will definitely suffer a huge blow. At that time, the anti-Qin factions will definitely rise with the wind, and Great Qin will be unable to take care of the borders.”
Chief Touman's tiger eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
He threw down the roasted wolf leg and stared at the person in front of him with eyes as sharp as knives."Why should I believe you?"
The white-robed man chuckled." It doesn't matter whether you trust me. The opportunity is right in front of you. It depends on whether you want to grab it."”
"If the rain prayer fails, Chanyu will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Great Qin will definitely collapse.”
Chief Touman was still staring at this person and asked,""What if the rain prayer succeeds?"
The white-robed man smiled." Even the saints can't do it. Do you think the 20-year-old Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin Empire can do it?"”
Chanyu Touman suddenly burst into laughter.
He nodded." You're right. I really don't believe that a twenty-year-old kid can do it!"”
"Alright, since the opportunity is right in front of us, our Xiongnu will not let it go.”
The white-robed man smiled and said,"Then I'll congratulate you on your great success."”
"Who exactly are you?" Chief Touman stared at him. You're clearly from Great Qin, so why are you helping me?”
The white-robed man's feet lit up." My forces have our own goals. However, Chief, don't worry. This time, our interests are the same."”
Shua!
A clear light flashed under his feet, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Chief Touman narrowed his eyes and said,""Call the Left Prince over."
…………
Twenty miles away from the Xiongnu tent, a clear light suddenly flashed.
The white-robed man had appeared from here.
He turned around to take a look. After confirming that no one was chasing after him, he let out a long sigh.
"Little Junior Brother was testing me. If I had shown even the slightest bit of surprise just now, I would definitely have died.”
This person took off his mask. Who else could it be but Wei Liao?
Wei Liao was ordered by Han Xu to come to the northern border of the Xiongnu to tell Tou Man about the rain and lure the Xiongnu into action.
Now, his mission was complete.
However, Wei Liao was still worried.”
"If we don't succeed, the Xiongnu will also come. There's really no way to end this…"
…………
Pa!
Han Xu placed another piece on the chessboard.
He chuckled,"The Huns are also in the game."”
