While the empire is busy, the anti-imperialists are not idle either.
In a remote house in the countryside of Zouxian County, Snow Girl, Bandit Zhi, and Master Ban were gathered here.
The Mo family still hasn't figured out what they should do in Feng Chan's game.
But one thing is for sure - something must be done, or at least be prepared to do something.
So when the Yishan Sacrifice came up, they immediately sent people over.
Since the Taishan Fengchan incident was directly involved in the big trouble of Gu Xun, coupled with Xue Nu's strong request, she became one of the members of this operation.
At the same time, considering that there won't be many frontal battles this time, Robber Zhi, who has excellent light skills, may be very useful, so he came too.
Similarly, the machine beast may play an important role, so Master Ben is also here.
Gao Jianli and Datihammer stayed behind to guard Songhai.
After Yuki-onna and others arrived, they discovered that the situation was more embarrassing than they expected.
Thief Zhi leaned against the window, fiddling with the yellow hair on his forehead in boredom, and said rather painfully:
"Yishan has become lively in the past two days, but it feels like it has nothing to do with us!"
I just feel noisy.jpg
"There is no goal, no plan, and no mission. Those Confucian scholars can still quarrel and argue about the issue of Feng Chan, but we can only watch... and we have to hide and watch!"
The snow girl was sitting at the table, cleaning her sword with a piece of white cloth, and seemed to have no reaction to Robber Zhi's complaints.
In fact...she totally agreed with it.
But she really couldn't think of what to do.
There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers. Yes, there is no way.
Although I thought I had to do something before I came here, I realized after I came that I really couldn't do anything.
Master Ban was fiddling with a micro-mechanism Suzaku that conveyed information, and responded without raising his head, "This matter cannot be rushed. We have to wait for the situation to develop."
"Development..." Pirate Zhi couldn't help complaining, "Have these Confucian scholars made their brains stupid by reading? I feel that they don't seem to feel that their situation is dangerous at all?"
"Uh..." Master Ben curled his lips and continued, "Maybe I just don't feel it."
"Confucianism is different from us. It is far away from the court and the world, and its sensitivity to danger is different."
"It may also be that for them, the matter of becoming a monk is more important than personal safety."
The peasant family also ignored the threat from the empire at the beginning, not because they didn't know it, but because the position of the hero was more important.
This may also be the case with Confucianism... although Master Ban personally believes that the former is more likely.
"There's no rush now... Do you want to wait until the knife is placed on your neck before you worry?" Pirate Zhi sneered, "Farmers don't have to be in a hurry, because they have the ability to resist, but Confucians... haha!"
Master Ban raised his head, stroked his beard, and replied with emotion, "Confucianism...maybe it has been famous for too long."
Confucianism and Mohism were both considered the two most prominent schools of thought in the world. However, because the Mohist school had embarked on the path of resolutely opposing Qin early on, after the unification of the empire, the influence of the Mohist school actually declined day by day.
On the contrary, Confucianism, although it has never been able to influence the changing situation in the court, its influence is growing day by day.
Even if the Mohists were labeled as rebels and almost disappeared for a while, it did not have the slightest warning effect on the Confucians.
Robber Zhi rubbed his hands and grinned, "We haven't talked for a few words, so I feel like this trip is even more pointless."
"How can we save someone who is looking for death without knowing it?"
"That's not entirely true." Snow Girl finally interjected, "It's not that the Little Sage Village is unaware of the danger."
"But aren't they already saving themselves? Do they still need us?" Thieves Zhi asked, spreading his hands.
"It's hard to say." Master Ban answered, "You know, Zhao Gao hasn't made any plans yet."
"Does he have any other options?" Thief Zhi asked again.
"Maybe, maybe not." Xue Nu put away her green light sword and replied calmly, "This is what we need to be on guard against now."
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Gai Nie and Xiaoyaozi walked in hand in hand.
They both came too, but they had gone out to investigate the situation earlier.
Seeing them, Daozhi became energetic and greeted him immediately with a smile, "Mr. Gai, Mr. Xiaoyao, what did you find?"
Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard, smiled, and replied, "Judging from the current situation, it's very lively."
Gai Nie then added, "There is a mixture of fish and dragons. There are too many forces gathered around Yishan now."
"Is this thing about conferring Zen so attractive? Are they all going to join in?" Pirate Zhi asked curiously.
Master Ban narrowed his eyes and responded, "It's not Feng Chan's thing that's so attractive, it's Ying Zheng's that's so attractive."
No matter how hot the debate is over the issue of Feng Chan, in terms of interests, it is only related to the empire and Confucianism.
It is impossible for any other force to gain benefits from Fengchan itself.
But assassinating Ying Zheng would serve the interests of many forces.
And this opportunity is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When Ying Zheng was in Xianyang, wanting to assassinate him was just a daydream, like an old man eating arsenic.
When Ying Zheng was in the east patrol convoy, the difficulty of assassinating him was much lower than in Xianyang, but it was not much better.
Only when he is climbing the mountain to worship is the perfect opportunity.
Whether it is the later Taishan Fengchan ceremony or the current Yishan ritual.
Thieves Zhi raised his brows, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile, "In that case, it seems that we don't have to worry about whether to assassinate or not. Someone will do it for us."
"I'm afraid this matter cannot be accomplished by one family. Perhaps we all need to discuss it together in the long term." Xiaoyaozi said meaningfully while stroking his beard.
Although the anti-Qin forces have close to the same goal, their relationship with each other is not always so close.
Yan Dan's previous alliance plan could have eliminated the barriers between various forces and temporarily concentrated most of the anti-Qin forces together.
It's a pity that Renzhongdao collapsed, and the anti-Qin alliance ended up ending in an anticlimax - it existed, but it didn't fully exist.
But after all, everyone's big goal is the same. If Ying Zheng dies, it will be a great benefit to all anti-Qin forces.
For this benefit, they will most likely try a short-term alliance.
"What about us?" Thieves Zhi looked at everyone, rubbed his hands together, and showed a questioning look.
Xiaoyaozi Fuxu suggested, "Considering that we still had doubts about the assassination of Ying Zheng before, I think it is better to wait and see what happens."
Master Ban nodded and agreed, "Mr. Xiaoyao is right. At this time, it is better to be still than to move. Let's see what they think first."
Gai Nie said nothing and acquiesced to Xiaoyaozi's proposal.
He himself did not agree with the assassination of Ying Zheng.
It wasn't because of his old friendship with Ying Zheng, but because he didn't approve of the matter itself from the bottom of his heart.
