Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1439 No one knows better than me

Chapter 1439 No one knows better than me...

All the senior officials of the Mo family were absent. Although Meng Tian and Xinghun were disappointed, they didn't care too much.

According to Li Si's intelligence, they were not at the stronghold and must have gone to the city for a secret meeting. The situation was still under control.

What the two of them are worried about now is that since all the high-level officials are gone, those ordinary Mohist disciples may also...

Sure enough, after the two returned to the yard, a soldier quickly ran over:
  "Report to the general, everything nearby has been searched, and there is no one."

The expected news did not make Meng Tian react much. He simply nodded and ordered, "Command down and regroup."

"Yes!" The soldier took the order and left.

Meng Tian turned to look at Xinghun, who looked thoughtful:

"Master Protector, what do you think should be done next?"

Xinghun looked up at Meng Tian, ​​thought for a moment, and asked without expressing his position:
  "What to do next depends on General Meng's thoughts."

"The general thinks it's just a coincidence that these rebellious Mohists all evacuated their strongholds, or have they noticed something a long time ago?"

Meng Tian narrowed his eyes under his helmet and responded thoughtfully:
  "Defender Star Soul thinks... someone has leaked the news?"

Xinghun shrugged his shoulders and expressed no comment on this speculation, and then he raised another possibility:
  "Maybe this is a test."

After Meng Tian listened, he tapped the hilt of the sword at his waist a few times and said with a serious face:

"Whether it's leaking information or testing, it means that the actions in the city may fail."

Xinghun crooked his mouth and smiled evilly, still not commenting on this.

Meng Tian saw that he acted like it had nothing to do with him at this time, so he couldn't help but remind him solemnly:

"His Royal Highness the eldest son has issued a death order for this operation, and it must not fail again."

"This is not only the meaning of the eldest son, but also represents the will of the empire. There is no room for failure!"

"Does the Star Soul Protector understand?"

Xinghun laughed when he heard this and responded unhurriedly:

"General, don't worry. Our Yin Yang family is naturally loyal to the empire, and it is our duty to deal with the traitors of the Mo family."

Even if the Mo family is not a rebel, the Yin and Yang family will not let them go. The two families have been feuding for hundreds of years. They are truly red-eyed. The level of hostility is much more serious than the so-called public losers, the old enemy of the Mo family.

Xinghun was just looking for trouble at the moment.

What a naughty kid, he has a temper that people hate and dogs hate, and he just wants to show his importance.

Meng Tian didn't bother to argue with this naughty kid, as long as it didn't mess up.

"Looking at how confident Star Soul Protector is, do you think you have a way to break the situation?"

Xinghun smiled crookedly again, showing off his evil, charming and arrogant (in his opinion) temperament, and responded with a contemptuous tone:
  "Don't worry, General Meng. No one knows better than me how to deal with people from the Mo family!"

Meng Tian felt strange after hearing this... Does Xinghun still lack a set of gestures?
  ………………

There is an inn in Songhai City.

As soon as Gu Xun's business was revealed, the members of Little Saint Xian Village fell into silence, all waiting for the elder Xun Kuang to respond.

Confucianism pays the most attention to rules. The only people who are qualified to intervene in such serious matters that may have a lot to do with it are the head Fu Nian. People like them are obviously not good at it - can they talk about it if they are allowed to talk about it?

It's okay if you don't have the ability.

The point is, no matter how well they talk to Gu Xun, if Fu Nian doesn't agree with them later, it's all a waste of time.

Only Xun Kuang, who could use his seniority to suppress Fu Niantou, could talk.

Xunzi stroked his beard and smiled, and said to Gu Xun:
  "Hehehe... It is an honor for Confucianism that His Royal Highness the eldest son is willing to pay a visit to the Little Sage's Manor. The Little Sage's Manor will certainly be waiting for His Highness the eldest son's arrival."

This response is purely for show and has no meaning.

It can be seen that although Xunzi has a hot temper and a straightforward temper, he is not without twists and turns.

Although Gu Xun seemed to have a very good relationship with Confucianism, he had extraordinary friendships with Zhang Liang and Yan Lu in private, and he also had a pleasant conversation with Xunzi himself during his several contacts. But when it comes to the entire Xiaoshengxian Village, Xunzi must put aside the so-called personal friendship and regard Gu Xun as a pure imperial minister.

The scene is indispensable.

After hearing this, Gu Xun couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "Oh, Master Xun, your answer... is quite formal."

"But I don't like talking like this, so I'll be more direct... You can do whatever you want."

"The main thing is that I say it, you just listen."

At this time, the cook came out from the backyard, carrying a tray in his hand, came to the table, and placed the plates for everyone in turn:

"The food is served!"

"Gentlemen of Little Saint Xian Manor, as well as the Imperial Master, please wait a moment. The remaining ones, Fatty Ding, will be delivered to you immediately."

Because it is a separate meal system, although the tray in the chef's hand is large, he cannot bring it all at once, so now only a part of it is brought.

The waiters under Cook Ding all gave him a day off today. After all, something might happen at the inn, and it wouldn't be appropriate to involve them.

So he had to serve the food himself.

No one here is really here to eat, so no one cares about the food - except Gu Xun.

"Hmm, Shopkeeper Ding, please be more prompt!"

Gu Xun, who had been serious about getting down to business just now, was the first to pick up the chopsticks and began to eat without ceremony, not forgetting to urge the cook.

"Don't worry, Master Imperial Master!"

Cook Ding gestured with a smile and walked quickly back to the backyard.

Gu Xun continued the previous topic while eating.

According to Confucian rules, do not speak when eating or sleeping.

It's a pity that among the people here, those who follow the rules don't have the right to speak, and those who have the right to speak don't follow the rules very much. What's more, no one dares to challenge Gu Xun, so they can only cooperate with Gu Xun.

Fortunately, they themselves could still abide by the rules. Each of them lowered their heads and ate silently, only raising their ears.

Only Xunzi sat upright and didn't move his chopsticks in a hurry.

"Let's get back to the topic."

"Let me get straight to the point: Fusu's visit was not done in good faith."

As soon as these straightforward words were said, the Confucian disciples who were eating couldn't help but frown.

Is it true that the person who came here is evil?

Then Gu Xun added another sentence, "But it's not malicious."

"..."

Confucian people are speechless. Can the dignified master speak without gasping for breath?

Gu Xun ignored their thoughts and continued on his own:

"Master Xun should know something... Even if you, the old man, have been in seclusion for a long time, Zifang and Yan Lu must also know that there has been a lot of dissatisfaction with Confucianism within the empire."

"And those doctors with Confucian origins are still challenging the emperor's temper."

"Fusu has an in-depth understanding of Confucianism. Head Fu Nian personally taught him for a period of time, so he actually has good intentions towards Confucianism."

"That's why this visit came about."

"But he is the eldest son of the empire after all, so... there is no doubt that he will not be biased towards Confucianism."

"This visit may be closer to an assessment."
