Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1256 Speculation
  On the outskirts of Songhai City, the Mohist stronghold.

This stronghold is located in the wild forest on the outskirts of the city. It is not small in scale. It is just a small group of buildings connected together. It is not remote in terms of location, and people will pass by from time to time.

As a hidden stronghold, its concealment is really limited, but there is nothing we can do about it.

To establish a stronghold outside the city, unless you dig a hole in the ground and build it underground, or choose a location that is very far away from the city, it is difficult to say how hidden it is. The main thing is to rely on the people in the stronghold to disguise themselves and deceive the outside world.

All Mohist disciples entering and exiting the stronghold will pretend to be ordinary people, making this Mohist stronghold look like an ordinary small village.

Although the land of Qilu is rich, not everyone can live in the city. There are still a large number of scattered villages outside the city, some are large and some are small - just like this Mohist stronghold, which looks like only It looks like a dozen households.

In order to look good, there is real reclaimed land around the Mohist stronghold, and people are responsible for working every day, working from sunrise to sunset, trying to make everything look extremely natural.

Use this portrait of a mountain village to cover up the secret activities behind the scenes.

At this time, Master Ban and other Mohist leaders, including Gai Nie, as well as Xiang Liang, the leader of the Xiang clan, military commander Fan Zeng and others who arrived later, were all here.

However, they generally can only hide in the innermost courtyard and will not go out unless necessary, so as not to increase the risk of exposing their existence.

In the main room of the compound, Master Ban and other senior officials of the Mohist family, as well as Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng, were holding a small impromptu meeting.

"No news yet?" Master Ban asked, stroking his beard and slightly narrowing his old eyes.

Thief Zhi clasped his hands on his chest, curled his lips and shook his head, "No."

"These days, apart from watching Tianming being tortured, I just watch Tianming being tortured in different ways. There is no change at all. It's so boring!"

In fact, he was very interested at first, but later became numb.

After all, he is also his own giant, and he is somewhat disgraced.

"Is there no movement from Mr. Zhang Liang?" Master Ban asked disbelievingly.

"No!" Daozhi replied helplessly in an aggravated tone, "The only time he has contact with Tianming every day is during class."

"Well... I can see that he is trying his best to help our giant, but it's a pity..."

Master Xu stroked his beard with his hand and added in a solemn tone, "Half a month has passed and there is still no clue about the third painting left by Mr. Zhang Liang!"

"We would be too passive if we just wait blindly."

"There is no other way but to wait." Big Iron Hammer touched the hair on his head and answered with a naive smile, "We don't understand what that picture means."

Several other people ignored the big hammer.

If you don't understand, you have to find a way to analyze and think about the answer. You can't just wait around.

Gao Jianli said in a deep voice, "Zifang's bag of tips is said to be left to Tianming Shaoyu and his friends, but now that they have settled down in the Little Saint's Villa, there should be no problem."

"What is this third picture for?"

"Perhaps... it's to deal with Li Si's next offensive?" Thief Zhi touched his chin and guessed with a smile, "Last time I found a fat woman to argue with me, next time maybe I'll find someone to play chess?"

"Do you think so?"

Fan Zeng shook his head, "It shouldn't be possible."

"Tianming Shaoyu has a special status. There must be extra attention to them within the empire. It is too dangerous for them to appear in front of imperial officials frequently."    "This kind of thing can never happen again. Besides, when it comes to playing chess, even Shao Yu His level can only be said to be impressive, and if Tianming... I don't think so, there are many masters in Confucianism who are better than the two of them, so there is no need to use them."

"If that picture refers to a game of chess, you can at least be sure that the two of them will have to play a game of chess with someone, right?" The snow girl interjected, looking across everyone's faces with her big, watery eyes, " The food box referred to in the first picture is for the two of them to deliver, and the white horse in the second picture is for the two of them to face Gongsun Linglong's argument."

"No matter what the third picture points to, they must come forward in person."

Fan Zeng nodded slightly and agreed in a deep voice, "Miss Xue Nu made a good analysis. With Zhang Liang's wisdom, he will definitely pursue perfection. The first two things are related to Shao Yu Tianming, and the last one will definitely be no exception."

"From this point of view, if it is a game of chess, then one of the parties must be Tianming Shaoyu or one of them, so the doubt now is...who is the opponent?" Master Ban slapped his machine hand on the table, solemnly said.

Thieves Zhi smiled crookedly, "So, my guess is quite reliable. It's most likely to deal with some imperial lackey, right?"

Master Xu laughed, "This... is hard to guess!"

Fan Zeng shook his head at this time and said thoughtfully, "I think the root of the problem may lie within Confucianism."

This unexpected statement immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Master Ban asked hesitantly, "What does Master Fan mean by this?"

"We must not forget that Zhang Liang is the only one in this little sage's village who intends to rebel against Qin!"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other, and the room became completely quiet for a while.

In the courtyard outside the house, Gai Nie was sitting on the steps, seemingly unaware of the conversation inside the house. He was just holding a small knife and silently cutting at a wooden stick.

From the vaguely revealed prototype, it can be seen that he is most likely making a sword, a wooden sword.

A wooden sword used to replace Yuan Hong.

………………

Songhai City, General's Mansion.

Meng Tian was wearing the same military uniform that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and Gu Xun was sitting opposite him.

It's no wonder that he doesn't change his clothes. No general's armor is changed every day, not to mention that his armor is a rare treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Meng family - Cangyun Armor.

Just as there are magical weapons in the world like Yuanhong Tai'a, who can cut iron like you, there is naturally a corresponding unbreakable armor.

Cangyun Armor is a famous divine armor, which is said to be able to block the sharp swords in the world.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration. Even a famous sword at the top of the sword spectrum can only leave a shallow mark when slashed. If it is an ordinary weapon, it can only produce a few fireworks.

Generally, the armor of a veteran on the battlefield is inevitably covered with criss-crossing ravine marks, and it won't take long for him to wear a new armor. However, Meng Tian's Cangyun Armor has been with him in battles for more than ten years, and it is still intact, with only a few marks. Obvious traces.

This kind of thing is undoubtedly a life-saving artifact on the battlefield. There are only a few treasures in the world, and it has saved Meng Tian many times.

Of course, it can only be effective on the battlefield. If you encounter martial arts masters, the armor will not be of much significance.

It doesn't matter if the defense can't be broken, there are many other vital points that are not protected.
