Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Gao Jianli asked calmly, "Is saving people the only thing you want?"

"Just this one thing." Tianming nodded, "I originally wanted to take this opportunity to save the wife and daughter of the giant boss, but..."

Tianming also mentioned Gu Xun's warning, "Someone told me clearly not to think about this matter. It is impossible to save him, and I will only get myself into trouble."

"He also asked me to remind you not to do anything stupid."

Gao Jianli keenly noticed that Tianming's emotions seemed to have some sudden ups and downs, but he was more concerned about the reminder Tianming said and did not care about Tianming's emotional changes.

Tianming didn't say who that 'person' was, but the person who could make Tianming believe it so firmly and who was telling him information about the mirage could only be one person.

First it was Zhang Liang, then Tian Ming. Gu Xun told them through their mouths to give up the idea of ​​rescuing Crown Princess Yan and Princess Gao Yue.

Gao Jianli had to accept a reality - they really had to give up on this matter completely.

Gao Jianli sighed inwardly, his expression unchanged, and he continued to ask in a deep voice, "How do you plan to save people?"

"It's simple, just wait for the opportunity." Tianming answered immediately.

"We have confirmed that the person was secretly transferred to Sanghai City by Yun Zhongjun."

"However, the situation in the city is tense right now, making it difficult to search. But the people will definitely be transferred back before the Mirage sets sail."

"We plan to seize this opportunity to intercept him."

This plan sounds safe, and it might not even involve mirages, and everything can be solved under the boat.

But it only sounds that way.

Gao Jianli was not so easy to fool, and immediately asked, "Do you know when he was sent back to Mirage?"

"I don't know." Tianming spread his hands and replied, "So we need people to keep an eye on the mirage day and night, and notify us immediately if they find any movement."

"There is only one regular entrance and exit to the Mirage, which is the gangway. It is a very conspicuous target and very convenient for surveillance."

"The Yin-Yang School must have other ways to enter and exit the mirage." Gao Jianli reminded lightly.

"I know." Tianming nodded repeatedly, "So we can't just focus on that gangway, we have to monitor the entire port as much as possible."

"And to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we have found additional help to monitor the situation on the ship. Once Shi Lan's brother is sent back to the ship, he will be discovered immediately."

"What kind of help can you find on the Mirage?" Gao Jianli frowned and asked quickly.

"This... is my personal relationship, so I can't disclose it." Tianming answered simply, "Anyway, I can guarantee that she is reliable enough."

Gao Jianli frowned and had a vague guess in his mind.

This made him feel very complicated for a while.

Differences in positions often interfere with people's normal judgment.

He is now unsure of what will happen during the morning.

But Gao Jianli was also willing to believe Tianming. After hesitating for a while, he finally did not ask too many questions.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Wait." Tianming answered neatly, "Wait for someone to show up."

"What else can we do in this situation?"

Tianming spoke very sincerely, as if he was hiding nothing.

Shi Lan and Shao Yu next to them also looked serious, and it seemed that this was their plan.

Gao Jianli felt that there was nothing wrong with what Tianming said, but he also felt that things were going too smoothly.

No matter how he thought about it, Tianming didn't seem like someone who would cooperate with him so easily...

Gao Jianli, who was at a loss for words, could only put the question aside for the time being and replied calmly, "Okay, then I'll stay and wait with you guys."

"Ah?" Gao Jianli's response made Tianming stunned for a moment, but he didn't panic at all. He just asked in confusion, "If you stay... who will take care of the Mo family's affairs? Will you let Sister Xue Nu take care of everything?"

Both his expression and tone showed that Tianming didn't particularly care about Gao Jianli's decision to stay, he was just a little puzzled.

Gao Jianli didn't see any problem, and felt relieved for the time being. He replied calmly, "I don't have anything to deal with recently."

Tianming rolled his eyes and sneered, "You can't say it's okay, it's that there is something wrong and you can't handle it."

"But you can't be fine forever. Can you not stay in the mechanism Xuanwu?"

"Then you can come back with me." Gao Jianli replied, "Since we just need to wait, there is no need to wait outside the port."

Tianming pointed at Shi Lan and replied righteously, "If Shi Lan wants to save her own brother, she must have watched over him personally. Shao Yu and I are here to help. How can we leave her behind?"

"Besides, we are the only three who know what Brother Shilan looks like. If we keep an eye on him, we won't miss him."

All of Tianming's words were reasonable and Gao Jianli could find no fault with them, but he was unwilling to follow Tianming's wishes, so he said calmly:

"Then I'll stay and wait with you."

"Then...it's up to you." Tianming still looked indifferent.

Shao Yu and Shi Lan stood aside with stern faces, trying their best not to show any emotion, and silently watched Tian Ming continue to perform.

"By the way, are we really completely helpless now?" Tianming changed the subject and asked again, "You said you were offering help, but you're not the only one, are you?"

Gao Jianli was silent for a moment, then answered seriously, "Of course people have their uses, but the risks are huge."

"Well... the Renzong and Xiang clan will be better?" Tianming asked with a bitter expression.

"It will be better, but not much." Gao Jianli replied calmly, "Mr. Xiaoyao also took action that night, and Shao Yu... The Empire will also target them, but the intensity will still be different."

The Mohist School cannot be touched, not because the Mohist School is not as strong as other anti-Qin forces, but because once they detect any clues of Mohist disciples, Luowang and the Shadow Secret Guards will track them down like crazy.

In this small piece of land of Sanghai, no force can withstand the relentless targeting of Luowang and Yingmiwei.

But on the other hand, Luowang and Shadow Guard can only selectively target some forces and do not have the power to defeat all forces.

As for other forces, the people of the empire are like hunting rabbits by the bush. If they happen to run into them, they will reap the credit. If they don't happen to run into them, they will not investigate too much.

But as for the Mohists, they would never let go.

As for the reason...capturing the Mohist people has made great contributions!

Not only was it huge, but it went straight to the heart of all the problems currently facing those on the Imperial side—that is, how to satisfy the Emperor.

If Zhao Gao could catch all the leaders of the Mohist school now, he wouldn't have to worry about how to clear himself of all responsibility in front of Ying Zheng.

If the Mohists still tried to fight at this juncture, they might not be killed, but they would definitely suffer considerable losses and lose a lot of manpower.

If it is not necessary, the Mohists certainly do not want to bear this extra damage.

Although the Taoist clan, the Xiang clan, and the three brothers of the Tian clan are not as valuable as the Mohist school, they are still somewhat stronger than other anti-Qin forces that have nothing to do with the Qinglong plan, so they will also be targeted to a certain extent.

After hearing Gao Jianli's answer, Tianming touched his chin and nodded, "In that case, let's ask the two families to help more this time."

"Can you arrange a few people to contact them?" Tianming immediately made another request, "Although they will notify us immediately, it is better to leave a few more information channels, so as to ensure that the people who stay in Xuanwu will not be unaware of everything."

Gao Jianli had no reason to refuse this request.

First of all, it is impossible that the Mohist School did not do anything about this matter. Although they said they were helping Shi Lan save her brother, in the eyes of others, it was Tianming, the leader of the Mohist School, who was in charge of this matter.

Since Tianming is ahead of us, the Mohists must take action.

Secondly, this is also a necessary measure to reduce risks and accidents.

"That's no problem, I'll arrange it."

"Yeah." Tianming nodded, said nothing, but looked at him steadily.

Gao Jianli understood the meaning in Tianming's eyes - since it is possible, then go quickly!

It would be impossible to mobilize the Mohist army while sitting in the house with the three kids.

Gao Jianli subconsciously felt that he should not leave, but things had come to the point where he had to leave. It was just a matter of going now or later.

He also had to go back to Xuanwu to inform the people who stayed in Xuanwu about the situation on Tianming's side.

It would not be okay for him to just stay here with Tianming without saying a word. The people in Xuanwu thought he was missing.

"I'll be back soon." Gao Jianli could only emphasize that he would be back soon.

Tianming waved his hand nonchalantly, "I know, I know...Do I need you to make lunch?"

Looking at Tianming who looked so casual, Gao Jianli began to wonder if he was thinking too much...

But no matter what Tianming's plan is, things still have to be done.

He goes there and comes back quickly, it will only take an hour or two at most, there won't be any trouble.

"……Need not."

After leaving the last two words, Gao Jianli left immediately.

After confirming that Gao Jianli had left, Tianming's expression suddenly changed, and he waved fiercely at Shaoyu Shilan:

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Move quickly."

"Why don't you tell me what action to take first?" Shao Yu replied with a wry smile.

"Pack the things you need to take, and when the time comes to transport the supplies, get on board and start." Tianming replied quickly.

"Then the time has not come yet. There is still a long time..."

"Why would we take action after Xiao Gao comes back? Do you think he will allow us to take action against Yun Zhongjun?" Tian Ming explained with a groan, "Let's leave here first and find a secluded place to hide and wait."

More than an hour later, Gao Jianli hurried back, only to find the building deserted.

Looking at the empty house, Gao Jianli's face suddenly turned ugly.

Tianming and the other two did not tell him the truth, which was within Gao Jianli's expectations and he could accept it.

But the three of them acted so anxiously that he had to pay attention.

There are two possibilities for this to happen.

Firstly, my appearance stimulated them and indirectly prompted them to take action in advance.

It is easy to make mistakes when acting in a hurry, which can lead to serious consequences. Gao Jianli couldn't help but be worried.

What's more, this mistake happened because of him.

The second is that they had already planned to take action at this time, and I just failed to stop them and did not add fuel to the fire.

Gao Jianli's responsibility was reduced a lot. At most, he was just negligent for a moment and failed to discover their little tricks in time.

But the severity of the responsibility was meaningless to Gao Jianli. He only cared about what Tianming and the other two were planning to do. Such an abrupt action, which had to be kept secret from him, was probably not a good thing.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Jianli suppressed his emotions instantly, turned around and left immediately.

The mistake had been made, and he could only try to make up for it.

………………

On the other side, on the mirage, Tianming and the other two were already in position.

They were very familiar with this route and were able to travel the whole way with ease and without any obstacles.

The three of them stayed on the crown of the hibiscus tree and found a sufficiently secluded spot to sit in a circle.

"Did Qianlong say when it will be done?" Shao Yu asked casually.

He was either in a hurry or looking for a topic to chat.

Tianming held his head with one hand, his eyes unfocused, and replied absentmindedly, "No, it depends on whether the other party gives me face or not."

"As long as she finds a suitable opportunity, she will inform me as soon as possible."

"Let me tell you... How did you guys communicate?" Shao Yu asked, scratching his head in confusion, "Consciousness communication? The way the King Xiang communicates with the goddess?"

"King Xiang? The goddess? What a mess!" Tianming frowned and replied unhappily.

As a husband, Tianming had certainly never read or even heard of "The Goddess", and naturally did not know the story of King Xiang being interested in the goddess but not in her - if he knew, he would probably punch Shaoyu twice and blame him for cursing him.

"Didn't I tell you that I entered a very strange place... I probably entered in the form of consciousness or soul."

Shao Yu spread his hands and replied helplessly, "You did say that, but it's hard for us to understand..."

"The strange space you mentioned that is suspected to be inside the Phantom Sound Box is completely incomprehensible."

"Come to think of it, I have looked up information about the Phantom Sound Box before."

"Did you gain anything?" Tianming was obviously very interested in this topic and asked immediately.

He also tried to inquire about the information about the Phantom Sound Box from within the Mohist School, but found nothing.

This made him somewhat suspicious.

He could understand that the Mohist school did not have any detailed records, but it was hard to accept that there was no record at all about the four words "Phantom Sound Box".

Shao Yu answered truthfully, "I didn't find anything, I just know this thing seems very mysterious, and it's closely related to the Yin-Yang family, and it's suspected to be an important treasure made by them - I don't know where the 'treasure' is."

"Made by the Yin-Yang family?" Tianming touched his chin and questioned, "It shouldn't be..."

"What's the problem?" Shao Yu asked back.

"I've seen that thing before. It's an extremely sophisticated mechanical device. How could it be made by the Yin-Yang School?" Tianming has become quite familiar with the art of making mechanical devices. Maybe he's not good at making things, but he has no problem identifying and distinguishing things.

"It should be closely related to the Mohist school, but... I can't find any relevant information at all."

Shao Yu pondered for a moment and proposed another possibility, "Maybe... it was built by the Gongshu family?"

As a leader of the Mohist school, it is normal for Tianming to subconsciously consider issues from the Mohist standpoint, but this matter is not entirely a question of standpoint.

"Gongshujia... they may have the ability, but they rarely waste energy on making things that are not related to weapons." Tianming responded, "And the Phantom Sound Box has probably been around for quite some time."

"In the past, the public losers would not spend time on non-weapon things." (End of this chapter)
