Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 76 Bei Mingzi's reaction, tracking

Taiyi Mountain is near the capital, and its mountains stretch to the edge of the sea.

Behind Mount Taiyi, Chisongzi once again arrived at the small courtyard where Beimingzi lived. More than a month later, he received information about Qingxu.

He felt it necessary to report to Bei Mingzi. Of course, his uncle might not care about this matter. The content mentioned in Qingxu's message to him was like a thunderbolt. He had cultivated for many years and his mind was usually calm, but seeing those things still stirred up a wave in his heart.

After listening to Chisongzi's words, Beimingzi nodded slightly. To him, there was not much difference between Han and Qin. The court was always filled with the same things: intrigue, backstabbing, and scheming.

"South Korea."

Chisongzi thought for a moment, then continued in a deep voice, "Junior Brother also sent back two people. Please ask Tianzong to take care of them."

Bei Mingzi stroked his beard, waiting for the next part. After spending more than two years together, he had a general understanding of Qingxu's personality. His disciple did not seem to be the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business.

"Qingxu arranged for them to manage two things, and these two things are likely to influence the entire era."

At this point, Bei Mingzi roughly understood Chi Songzi's thoughts. The Heavenly Sect was detached from worldly affairs and focused solely on the pursuit of the Dao. If getting involved in these matters attracted criticism, it would likely affect the Heavenly Sect's reputation.

"What is it?"

After thinking for a moment, Bei Mingzi asked.

Chisongzi narrowed his eyes and explained, "The first is paper, and the second is salt. Paper can be used to record words, and according to its description, it is far superior to bamboo slips. Salt is related to people's livelihood. If it can really be realized, it will be a great merit."

These two things seem ordinary, but upon closer examination, they could even cause turmoil in the seven kingdoms. A large part of the reason why various schools of thought could not spread widely was the inconvenience of circulation. If "paper" were to be invented, various schools of thought would probably go crazy.

Furthermore, the solidification of social classes in various countries is largely due to the lack of knowledge circulation. If paper were to become widespread, it could even shake the very foundations of these countries.

As for salt, this is easier to understand. It is essential for the people and indispensable. If managed properly, it can become a vast source of wealth.

Bei Mingzi remained silent for a moment before speaking softly.

"After years of cultivation, you still seem to have not grasped the meaning of fame and fortune. The transcendence that the Heavenly Sect seeks is never about turning a blind eye, but about going with the flow. Since this thing has appeared, it is meant to appear. What does it have to do with our Heavenly Sect? Its appearance is related to Qingxu. The so-called care is going with the flow."

Chishongzi, who was sitting to the side, smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

As the leader of the Heavenly Sect, he naturally had to consider things more carefully. However, Bei Mingzi's reminder was also correct. He was too focused on reputation. Both of these things could create enormous value and benefit the people. Why not take care of them?

"Junior brother is truly a genius!"

On the other side, Han Fei and Zhang Liang arrived at Zilan Pavilion together.

"Zifang, there seem to be many things in Xinzheng that we don't know. This time, I was caught off guard!"

Zhang Liang, who was standing to the side, heard Han Fei's words and gently comforted him, "Young master is joking. We are human, not gods. If we knew everything, then let alone ninety-nine, even the whole world would not be difficult to understand."

Han Fei chuckled.

That was just a joke of his. For him, if there's a problem, then solve it. He never considered whether it was unsolvable.

Suddenly, Han Fei frowned and stopped in his tracks.
Seeing Han Fei's state, Zhang Liang was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, young master?"

Han Fei's eyes flickered slightly. Just now, when he passed by Nongyu's room, he saw someone. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, he was certain that the other person was a young boy.

"A place like Zilan Pavilion entertains children?" Han Fei thought for a moment and shook his head. Then he walked forward again. Zilan Pavilion was open for business without any age restrictions, and it was in Nongyu's room. Obviously, Zi Nu must have known about this.

"fine."

Upon seeing Han Fei, Zi Nu asked with a smile, "I thought you would be frowning, young master. I didn't expect you to be able to smile."

Han Fei was urgently summoned to the palace by the King of Han, and the news quickly spread back, and she and Wei Zhuang already knew the reason.

“Miss Zi Nu is joking. It’s just a prisoner who got lost in the dungeon. Besides, the person in charge of the city’s security is General Ji Wu Ye. This is something that should be a headache for him.”

Wei Zhuang stood to the side, arms crossed, a cold smile on his face.

"A naive idea. What if Tianze was released by Ji Wuye?"

Han Fei's eye twitched. Although he had considered this situation before, he had kept it to himself in order to maintain morale. Wei Zhuang, on the other hand, showed no mercy and brought up the worst-case scenario.

"The problem doesn't disappear just because you pretend you don't see it; self-deception only leads to failure."

Han Fei nodded helplessly.

"Brother Wei Zhuang is right."

"Father summoned me, my fourth brother, Ji Wuye, and Prime Minister Zhang to discuss the matter of Prince Tianze of Baiyue. He should have escaped from the dungeon a few days ago, but what intrigues me is that this prince of Baiyue did not act immediately, but instead went into hiding, which is somewhat inconsistent with the rumors in the records."

The others nodded in agreement. According to the records, once Tianze escaped the dungeon, he would definitely take revenge on Han Guo instead of hiding.

“It is difficult to change a person’s personality. Tianze has been imprisoned in a dark dungeon for years, and his personality is probably even more distorted. I suspect that he is setting up a big scheme. We must find him as soon as possible.”

At this point, Han Fei couldn't help but look at Wei Zhuang. Wei Zhuang had gathered the gangs in the northern city and was acting as his eyes and ears. Among the people standing here, he was probably the most well-informed about the news in the city.

Wei Zhuang understood Han Fei's gaze, but did not answer immediately. Tang Qi had previously reported this matter to him, and the Seven Absolutes Hall had not found any useful clues.

“Xinzheng City is very large. If someone really wants to hide, they won’t be found in a short time. Besides, Tianze and his group are from Baiyue, so they are very likely not in the city.”

Han Fei pinched his chin. Wei Zhuang was right, but time was of the essence.

"If Tianze was indeed released by Ji Wuye, then I think Ji Wuye would definitely send someone to contact him privately."

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang exchanged a glance.

"Does the young master mean to send someone to monitor the General's Mansion's movements?"

Han Fei nodded, then looked at Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang's lips twitched.

“Brother Wei Zhuang, I’m afraid we’ll have to deal with this personally. After all, Ji Wuye wouldn’t send an ordinary person to contact Tian Ze.”

"It'd better be what you think, otherwise..."
