After Zhao Yu left, he went to the meeting point with the others. Six-fingered Black Man and Cassie were already waiting there.
"Childe Yu, you've returned safely.”
Zhao Yu smiled and took out a white scroll from his pocket.
"This map was originally intended to be used as revenge for Senior Six-fingered Black Swordsman. However, the previous generation was kind-hearted. After thinking about it, only the Mo family could carry this thing forward. I will give this thing to Senior."
During the discussion, the Six-fingered Black Knight did not mention anything about the reward, but this did not mean that Zhao Yu did not take this matter to heart.
If he did not return the favor, Zhao Yu would owe the Six-fingered Black Swordsman a favor.
A debt of gratitude was the hardest to repay. The Six-fingered Black Swordsman might not do anything, but it was hard to guarantee that Yan Dan would not make things difficult for him.
The Six-fingered Black Knight took the map in confusion. He opened it and took a look. His breathing began to become heavy, as if he had seen a rare treasure.
"It's a work of art, a work of art! Childe Yu, who did this?”
"Hehe, I thought of it on a whim. I hope Senior can carry this thing forward.”
The Six-fingered Black Swordsman carefully folded the white silk and put it away.
"In that case, this old man will shamelessly accept it. Childe Yu, Mister Nameless, this old man will bid farewell here.”
The Six-fingered Black Knight turned around and disappeared into the night. At this moment, Zhao Yu finally saw the pitiful Cassie.
"You're Cassie?"
With her big belly, Cassie forced herself to bow and said,
"Qianqian greets Young Master Yu. Thank you for saving me.”
"Hai, it's just a mutual benefit, it can't be considered a great favor. During this period of time, you will stay with me in the inn. After Wei Yong's matter is settled, I will let you reunite with Xuan Jian.”
Cassie bit her lips lightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. She wanted to say something to Zhao Yu but did not dare to say it.
Zhao Yu saw that Qianqian seemed to have something to say and thought that she was worried about Xuan Jian's comfort. Hence, he asked,
"What's wrong? Any other questions?"
Seeing Zhao Yu's question, Cassie no longer pretended to be mute. She pleaded gently,"Although I know I shouldn't say it, can I ask Gongzi Yu to spare my grandfather's life?”
Zhao Yu had thought that something was making it difficult for Cassie to speak, but it turned out to be this matter.
"I can let Wei Yong off. As for Xuan Jian, you will have to persuade him yourself. However, Lord Xinling has already found evidence that Wei Yong tried to assassinate an official of the Wei Kingdom. Even if we don't do anything, he will still be sentenced to death.”
Cassie nodded to show that she understood. She knew that if the King of Wei found out what her grandfather had done, he would definitely be sentenced to death. However, at least there was a chance that he would not. If Zhao Yu or Xuan Jian were to make a move, Wei Yong would not even have a chance of surviving.
Zhao Yu brought Nameless and Cassie back to the inn. After a long journey, the pregnant Cassie was already yawning non-stop. After bowing to Zhao Yu, she fell asleep.
Wu Ming had intended to leave as well, but he asked Zhao Yu to stay behind. Zhao Yu asked the waiter, who was still awake, to serve some dishes and a pot of wine. Then, he started drinking with Wu Ming.
After three rounds of wine, Wu Ming finally could not help but ask,"
"Didn't you ask me to stay just to drink?”
Zhao Yu did not answer Wu Ming but asked,"
"What are your plans for the future? After this matter is over, Wei Yong will be executed and Lord Xinling will regain power. There will be no need for you to continue staying in Wei.”
Wu Ming paused for a moment and downed the wine in his glass.
"According to your inspiration, the internal energy I created is almost complete. After it is completed, I will send the sword, cultivation method, and Yan Lu back to the Small Sage Manor. After that, I may continue to wander in the Jianghu or die in some unknown deep mountain.”
If Zhao Yu's guess was correct, the internal energy that Wu Ming was talking about should be Yan Lu's meditation technique. He did not expect it to be completed soon.
"You're clearly a scholarly disciple, but you speak like a Daoist. Don't tell me you're thinking of changing your allegiance?”
Zhao Yu casually teased, but Wu Ming laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, your words actually make some sense to me. However, be it Confucianism or Daoism, in the end, there is no difference.”
Wu Ming laughed happily, but Zhao Yu had no idea what the joke was.
"Cough cough, since you have nowhere to go, why don't you come and hang out? I don't have so many rules here.”
The atmosphere turned serious. Wu Ming raised his head and stared at Zhao Yu. His eyes were like stars as he stared at Zhao Yu, as if he wanted to see through him.
"You want to help the State of Qin?"
As the Young Master of the State of Qin, not only did Zhao Yu not show any hesitation towards the King of Qin in Wei Yong's conversation, he even showed great admiration for the King of Qin.
Having his thoughts exposed, Zhao Yu did not feel guilty at all. He smiled calmly and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky from the window.
"Not to help the Qin Country, but to help the world. The Qin Country is merely a tool to unify the world. As early as a few hundred years ago, the Zhou Dynasty had already existed in name only. The dukes attacked each other and did not care about the war. From the beginning, there were hundreds of countries to the current seven countries. If the world wasn't unified, China would fall apart.”
Zhao Yu was probably the only person in the entire world who dared to call a country a tool. Wu Ming had an indifferent personality, but he couldn't help but admire Zhao Yu.
"Your idea is very good, but do you have the capital to unify the seven kingdoms? Right now, there were strong enemies surrounding outside the Qin Empire, and there were rebels playing with power inside. It seemed strong, but it was already in a precarious situation. As long as the six countries allied, the destruction of Qin would be a matter of a snap of the fingers. How do you plan to stop all of this?”
It had to be said that Wu Ming had seen far ahead. He could see the current situation of the State of Qin and could also see that the six countries already had the intention to destroy the State of Qin. They were just waiting for an opportunity.
"That's right, the current Qin State is indeed full of danger. As long as the six states unite, there might be a chance. But unfortunately, the current King of Qin is called Ying Zheng, and he is destined to unify the six states.”
Wu Ming did not know why Zhao Yu had such confidence in the King of Qin, who did not even have any power.
"What do you plan to do?"
"I don't want to and don't need to interfere with the affairs of the royal court and the six states. What I want to manage is the entire martial world. If you join us, our organization will be considered as a grass-roots team.”
'At the same time, it's also the strongest grass-roots team in history,' Zhao Yu thought to himself.
