Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Mohist Chapters: Chapter 12: Mohist Masters

“Damn it—!!!”

Another shrill cry came from under the giant tree.

Miss Mo Tong threw the controller in her hand forward with force. There were already dozens of discarded controllers piled up there.

She took off her copper-green glasses, and tears seemed to flash in her big gray eyes. She looked no different from a down-and-out puppy on the street.

The 'Mecha No. 5' is a low-quality imitation of the 'prototype' left by the forefather.

Although it is of inferior quality, after being improved by generations of Mohist disciples, the combat capability of this mecha is not weak, and is even much stronger than that of ordinary people.

It uses flames as fuel, and has sharp blades on its arms. As long as the energy is not exhausted, it can exert its full functions 100%.

Mo Tong is a genius who is good at controlling "mechanical factors". She can completely control the mecha to fight while extracting and using mechanical factors from the air to achieve self-sufficiency.

This makes the No. 5 mecha invincible in single combat, and even if it encounters a strong enemy, it can continue to wear down the opponent.

But, it's no use.

No matter how many times Mo Tong mobilized his mechanical factors, he could not withstand a single blow from Liu Bei.

"This man is terrible."

"No matter how many times I get up, he can always kill me with one blow... That sharp blade seems to be able to cut off the soul."

"Even the world's greatest swordsman would feel tired after swinging his sword ten thousand times, but this young man named Liu Bei doesn't even show a single sign of fatigue..."

"Is that so-called 'Red Sky Fragment' really so overbearing and unreasonable?"

"Then why should my Mohist school study mechanical arts? If we just send people to plunder the Scarlet Sky fragments, can't we use their power to 'recreate life'?"

Just as Mo Tong was lost in thought, a slender figure appeared silently in front of her.

"Ah, it's Master Juzi..."

"Tong, what are you doing?"

"Clap."

The woman with double pupils flicked her finger on Mo Tong's forehead as soon as she appeared, then frowned slightly.

"Didn't I tell you long ago that this move was to use the name of the Yangzhou Governor to shift the 'disaster'? Who told you to take action against him?"

"Woooo..."

Mo Tong covered his aching forehead and uttered a painful sound: "But, but, I'm angry..."

"You're still dwelling on what happened last time. Humph, it's only been a little over twenty years. I don't care, so why should you?"

The Mohist master raised his hand, and countless "iron men" about 1.4 meters tall came out from the corners. These iron men took away all the scrapped controllers on the ground.

She sighed and said, "What a disobedient child... Go and copy your ancestor's teachings. You won't be allowed to leave until you've copied a thousand copies."

"Oh."

Mo Tong responded, then asked doubtfully: "But when did you ever allow me to go out?"

"..."

A look of bewilderment flashed across the Mohist master's eyes, and then turned cold. He said, "Then you are not allowed to contact the outside world in any way. Just focus on copying."

After saying this, she waved again.

The powerful palm wind blew Mo Tong to the front of the giant tree. He had just fallen to the ground when the small iron man next to him handed him a pen and bamboo slips.

"...What a troublesome child."

The Mohist master looked at the spot, and the four pairs of eyes seemed to be looking into the distance.

What appeared in her perspective was naturally not the giant tree in front of her, but the figure of Liu Bei in the distance.

"The holder of the Scarlet Sky Fragment?"

"What a joke."

"This 'breath' of Scarlet Sky and Heaven's Dao intertwined... What Scarlet Sky fragment? You are clearly the Scarlet Emperor's child."

“…Humph, I didn’t expect that old immortal [Red Dragon] is still alive…”

"It seems that the plan has to be advanced again."

"No unexpected factors will be allowed to occur."

-

As Liu Bei swung his sword again, the iron man in front of him, also known as "Mecha No. 5", was completely defeated, and his entire body turned into dust.

"Did you finally solve it?"

Liu Bei observed the situation for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that he did not sense the hostility again.

Just as he relaxed, he caught a glimpse of a white hair out of the corner of his eye.

Then came the unique fragrance of the Master, and even a small white hand reached out and pinched his face hard.

"...When facing an enemy, don't let your guard down too soon, or they'll take advantage."

Master Lu left as soon as he touched Liu Bei, and appeared behind him at some point, with their backs leaning against each other.

"That's what the Master taught me."

"You always say yes, but deep down you don't really mean it, huh."

Master Lu shook his head in dissatisfaction, then glanced back and said, "Now that the situation is clear, do you still need me to summarize it for you?"

"No need, disciple understands."

Liu Bei didn't turn around or look back, but simply shook his head gently and said, "Our decree will cover the entire Jiujiang County before the end of the year... and whether it's the publicly known 'aristocratic families' or the secretly 'Mohists', these scoundrels will all take action before then."

"And the missing main force of the barbarians is likely hiding now, waiting for us to be hurt on both sides, and then quietly attack and successfully plunder."

"Although the situation in Shouchun County seems good, the remaining remnants of the old forces are still lurking, waiting for us to reveal a flaw."

"You've missed a point," Master Lu warned, "When Heaven chooses its puppets, it never considers the distinction between common people and noble families."

"So, even among the rats hiding in the sewers, there's a chance a big rat will emerge."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei grumbled, "...the firewood king in the sewer, huh?"

"What salary king?"

"Nothing. I understand what the Master means. The Mohists have been hiding for so many years. There is indeed a high possibility that there are hidden holders of the Heavenly Dao among them."

It is known that the holders of the Heavenly Dao have their own destiny. Their actions are different, but the end of the road is the same - to serve the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao wants to return, and the holders of the fragments are His 'chips'.

Liu Bei knew that as long as he continued to move forward, he would definitely face 'Him' one day in the future.

But it doesn’t matter.

Before that, he will collect all the fragments of Chixiao, then revive the Han Dynasty, and lead all the soldiers to declare war on Tiandao in advance.

"So," Master Lu said with a smile, "what are your plans next?"

"Go home and have a good sleep."

"?"

"We need to resolve all of these issues before the end of the year," Liu Bei shrugged. "Mr. Sun Jian will be able to arrive in Shouchun County tonight."

"Our action can now officially begin."

Mohist Chapter: Chapter 13: Sun Jian Enters the City

into the night.

A small group of mounted soldiers came from the south and entered the city smoothly after showing relevant credentials.

The leader was 1.8 meters tall, with a broad back and strong arms. His weathered face was full of determination and he had a calm demeanor.

But this calmness soon turned into surprise.

“…Is this still Shouchun County?”

The dirty ground was replaced by new soil, the dilapidated city walls are now bright enough to glow, and the houses that were originally dilapidated and empty are now emitting a faint light.

The patrolling teams of officers and soldiers had serious expressions, their steps were in unison, and their military discipline appeared to be good.

"County Magistrate Sun, I came from Shouchun County five years ago..."

A stout man said in astonishment: "I guarantee that this place was definitely not like this five years ago!"

"nonsense."

Sun Jian, the magistrate of Xia Pi County, rolled his eyes and said, "I passed through Shouchun at the beginning of the year. The scene there was truly chilling."

Shouchun County at that time was not prosperous at all. It was just a dead city with long-standing problems.

The noble families are all extremely wealthy, while the common people are all more miserable than each other, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge.

"But now, the new governor has only been here for a little over a month. How could there be such a dramatic change?"

Although Sun Jian and others had heard similar rumors on the road, they did not take them seriously. They all thought that the new governor was "making up excuses" to gain greater benefits.

It was not until they witnessed this scene with their own eyes that they felt a sense of admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

"Don't panic, County Magistrate! Wait until I capture a soldier and ask him!"

Without waiting for an answer, the strong man immediately stepped out of the line and ran to the patrolling officers and soldiers. He then showed the relevant seals and explained his purpose.

Then, he gradually opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief.

"What? The new governor's disciples were all killed by the Zheng, Yao, and Liu families?"

"Ah? All the wealth of these noble families was turned over to the government, and then a large distribution was made, with everyone receiving a share according to their work?"

“As long as you do something, you will be rewarded?”

"...The new governor isn't even an adult yet???"

The strong man told Sun Jian and others all the news, each one more important than the last.

After hearing this, Sun Jian turned his gaze to the top of the city wall, looking at the heads with a thoughtful expression.

"Kill the aristocratic families, divide the grain fields, rectify the Han laws, and stop the rebellion with killing... Oh, it seems that the disciple of this new governor is really not simple..."

"Of course, don't you see who our Master Bei is?"

A breeze blew by.

Lao Liu, dressed in night clothes, appeared in front at some point. She crossed her arms and looked at Sun Jian and his group with interest.

For Lao Liu, as long as someone praised Liu Bei, it was equivalent to praising her, and she would be happy together.

"It's Miss Ye. Long time no see."

Unlike the surrounding soldiers who were surprised by Lao Liu's sudden appearance, Sun Jian's expression remained unchanged. He said calmly:

"When I received Miss Ye's message at the beginning of the month, Jian originally wanted to leave immediately because the matter was of great importance. However, my daughter was born at the right time, so I was delayed for some time..."

"It doesn't matter. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."

"Oh?"

Sun Jian sensed danger: "Could it be that those rebels have been making moves again recently?"

Lao Liu nodded and said, "Yes, just this morning, Master Bei was assassinated. Among them was the Mohist who appeared in the form of the Iron Man..."

"I see."

Sun Jian's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he immediately said, "This matter is of great importance. We have entered the city in the middle of the night and do not need to rest. I hope Miss Ye will take us to see the new governor immediately."

"Well, that's exactly why I came here."

After saying this, Lao Liu stopped talking and focused on leading the way.

A moment later, Sun Jian and his companions entered the county magistrate's mansion through the side door.

As soon as they stepped in, they smelled the aroma of cooked food and wine.

"The journey is long, please take a seat."

Master Lu sat on the main seat, Liu Bei sat on her left, and Jia Xu sat on the other side with a smile on his face.
