Xianyang, Qin Country, Lu Buwei's mansion.
Lu Buwei, who was over fifty years old, had a head full of white hair, but the imposing aura he exuded made the people in front of him feel even more pressured.
"In that case, Ying Yu didn't die and even killed seven assassins from the Network?”
The cold and emotionless tone made the kneeling person break out in a cold sweat.
"Yes... During the first assassination attempt, our people confirmed that Childe Yu was dead. Because the Prime Minister ordered him to die quietly, his head was not cut off.”
That person couldn't imagine how someone who had been declared dead could be resurrected, and in just two months, he could actually eliminate seven Earth-rank assassins.
During the first assassination, the Network only sent three Earth-rank assassins and almost succeeded.
Lu Buwei's expression changed. Cheng Jiao's faction had almost been wiped out, and they were only missing Zhao Yu.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Yu was not on Cheng Jiao's side. The one who supported Cheng Jiao was Zhao Yu's father, who was also Zichu's elder brother.
After Zichu returned to the State of Qin, Zhao Yu's father had a good relationship with Zichu and did not have any thoughts of fighting for the throne.
However, after Zichu's death, Zhao Yu's father became a supporter of Cheng Jiao.
All of this was because Ying Zheng's identity was still questionable.
Ying Zheng might not be Zichu's biological son, but Cheng Jiao definitely was.
After Ying Zheng ascended the throne, Cheng Jiao was conferred the title of Lord Chang 'an, and Zhao Yu's father had always been in close contact with Cheng Jiao.
As their cousin, Zhao Yu had a very good relationship with Ying Zheng.
Lu Buwei had the idea that he would rather kill the wrong person than let them go. After wiping out the rebels, he began to eliminate the henchmen.
Zhao Yu and his father were also implicated. His father had been killed by Masked Sun, and Zhao Yu himself was being pursued by the net.
Lu Buwei felt like a knife was hanging over his head with this fish that had escaped the net.
Even if this fish that slipped through the net was only a dust-like existence.
"Send someone to follow him for the time being. Don't alert the enemy.”
He had failed twice, so even Lu Buwei had to take Zhao Yu seriously.
"Yes, sir!" The man in black left, leaving Lu Buwei sitting at his table. He picked up a roll of bamboo slips and started reading.
Your Majesty has been fighting for power again recently, and Lao Ai has also started to behave himself. These little brats only know how to cause trouble for me!"
In Sang Hai of the Qi Kingdom, Zhao Yu followed the waiter's instructions and walked towards the Small Holy Manor.
Sanghai was located in the inner part of Qi State, and its east side was adjacent to the sea. It had almost never experienced any war, so the city was quite prosperous. Along the way, one could see all kinds of vendors selling interesting things. It was very lively.
After an hour, Zhao Yu arrived at the Small Holy Manor.
"Sir, please state your purpose for coming.”Seeing Zhao Yu's handsome face, gorgeous clothes, and the aura of a superior, the gatekeeping disciple of the Small Holy Manor guessed that this person's identity was extraordinary, so he spoke in a very polite tone.
"Zhao Yu from the State of Qin has come to see Master Xun. Please inform him.”
The disciple looked troubled. He bowed to Zhao Yu and said,
"Sir, Master Xun had already requested not to meet outsiders three years ago. Please leave.”
Ever since Xun Zi resigned from his position as the Chancellor of Jixia Learning Palace, he had shut himself in the Little Sage Manor and refused to see anyone.
"Hehe, I like to play chess. I heard that Master Xun is an expert in this field, so I came to ask for advice. I hope this brother can go and inform him. If Master Xun insists on not seeing me, I can leave.”
Everyone in the Little Sage Manor knew that Xun Zi loved to play Go. When he heard that Zhao Yu was here to discuss Go, the disciple hesitated whether he should tell Xun Zi about it.
"Please wait for a moment, I will inform the Headmaster.”
After hesitating for a long time, this disciple still went to tell Xun Zi. What if this person really was Xun Zi's old friend?
After a while, the disciple returned.
"The Headmaster invites you in. Please follow me.”
Zhao Yu had long guessed that Xun Zi, who regarded chess as his life, would definitely agree to meet him. He followed the scholarly disciple into the Small Sage Manor.
" The place where the Confucians of the Seven Nations gather is indeed extraordinary. Even Jixia Learning Palace is no better than this," Zhao Yu said as he looked around in admiration.
There was no need to talk about the pavilions, but the students here made Zhao Yu feel like he was in a university in the future.
"Sir, you flatter me. The Headmaster said that the Little Sage Manor is still far from enough.”Although the disciple spoke humbly, there was a smug look on his face.
Among the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, only the Small Sage Manor and the Mohist School's City of Traps could develop to such a scale. The scholarly disciples naturally had the right to be arrogant.
Zhao Yu followed his disciples through the Small Sage Manor and arrived at a lush bamboo forest. In the middle of the bamboo forest, there was a house surrounded by fences.
At the door, the disciple turned around and said to Zhao Yu,"
"The Headmaster is inside, please.”、
Zhao Yu pushed open the door and walked into the room.
Xun Zi's appearance was not much different from Zhao Yu's impression.
Just as Zhao Yu was about to bow, Xun Zi said something that stunned Zhao Yu.
"Young Master Yu, it is truly an honor for you to come to my Little Sage Manor. If you want to see me, just register your name. Why do you have to use chess as an excuse?"
Zhao Yu looked at Xun Zi, who was stroking his long beard, in bewilderment. So Zhao Yu and Xun Zi knew each other?
"Master Xun, have we met before?”
To someone as experienced as Xun Zi, pretending to be familiar with him would be easily seen through, so Zhao Yu decided to ask directly.
"Hmm? Was Young Master not Ying Yu? This old man had seen Young Master when he was thirteen years old. Although Young Master was young at that time, he still looked like him now. This old man wouldn't mistake him.”
Xun Zi had once met Zhao Yu in the State of Qin when he was traveling around the Seven Kingdoms. He had a deep impression of him and knew that he was a very intelligent child.
Zhao Yu laughed bitterly as he pointed at his own head and explained to Xun Zi,"
"A few days ago, I was chased by the net and my head was severely injured. After I woke up, I couldn't remember many things. I only remember that my name was Zhao Yu and I was from the State of Qin.”
