Of course, if he was asked to answer, he would still say - hard to say.
Master Ben stroked his beard and said with a hint of worry, "I hope so."
"As long as there is nothing wrong with Xiaoshengxian Village, the situation of Confucianism will not be too bad."
Thief Zhi shook his head and made a series of tut-tsk sounds.
He was really fed up with Confucianism's troubles - it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he was dissatisfied with the situation where he was always helpless.
Then he mentioned another matter, "Songhai has responded to the letter, but General Xiang Liang has no clue."
Of course, what Thief Zhi was talking about was what Tian Heng had previously conveyed about the so-called power of the Chu State.
This force is definitely not from the Xiang clan, but since it involves the Chu State, we must still ask Xiang Liang if he has any clues.
Of course, Master Ben and the others didn't have much hope.
The result was not as expected.
Whether it's the National Soldiers or the Iron Blood Alliance, the Xiang family doesn't have much information.
Because these two organizations had little relationship with the Chu State's military in the past, the former had always been controlled by those in power, such as Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, and the uncle Li Yuan, and the latter was similar.
The power of the Xiang clan is basically concentrated within the military.
"It seems we have to investigate on our own." Master Ban nodded and muttered without disappointment.
Thieves Zhi said with a smile, "However, they also provided a piece of information."
"Whether it was the National Soldiers or the Iron Blood Alliance, they had a close relationship with Lord Changping before the fall of the Chu Kingdom."
"Changping Jun..." Master Ban paused while stroking his beard, then smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I can't provide much help."
Among the current high-level officials of the Mo family, there is no one who is particularly familiar with Lord Changping... To be precise, there was only the giant Yan Dan in the past.
Now that Yan Dan has passed away, and Lord Changping has died long ago, there is no point in knowing this.
Robber Zhi shrugged. He also felt that it was useless, but he still had to say what needed to be said.
At this time, Gai Nie reminded, "Maybe... it's not completely useless."
"What should I say?" Master Ban immediately turned his gaze over.
Gai Nie reminded softly, "Maybe we can also start from the farmers."
"Sir, what you mean is... Xia Kui Tian Guang?" Master Ban immediately understood what Gai Nie was thinking.
People who have a close relationship with Lord Changping include, in addition to the former tycoon of the Mohist family Yan Taizi Dan, there is also Tian Guang, the former hero of the peasant family.
The most important thing is that both Chang Pingjun and Prince Yan Dan are completely cold, but Tian Guang may still be alive.
Of course, no one can be found in a short period of time, dead or not, so the real point is that the farmer may have some information left by Tian Guang.
The relationship between the Mo family and the farm family is now relatively subtle and cannot be simply described as good or bad, but communication is definitely no problem.
If you want to get some information about Changping-kun, you will probably not be refused...if they have any.
"This is indeed a direction. Let's contact the farmer later." Master Ban nodded and agreed with Gai Nie's idea.
Thief Zhi waved his hand and accepted the errand, "Okay, I'll arrange it later."
"But..." Thief Zhi asked curiously, "Is this matter really that important? We must get to the bottom of it?"
Master Ben nodded, "This matter is indeed very important and must be clarified."
"First, we have to figure out whether there is a problem with the Tian family."
"Secondly, if there is no problem with the Tian family, it means there is a problem behind those two people, and it is a big problem. This is also something we must figure out."
"Of course, it's possible that the whole thing is OK at all, but we still need to confirm it."
Ultimately, the point of this matter is not whether the Tian family was deceived, but if it was really deceived, how exactly it was deceived.
The channel, or to put it more bluntly, the method of snare is very important.
If the Tian family can be deceived, other anti-Qin forces may also be tricked.
Not every time it can be turned over as easily as this time - this time it is because Confucianism is the target of the snare.
The Mohist family must find out the source of everything and eliminate the possibility of similar situations happening again.
Of course, the Mo family can also stand by and watch. After all, they were not the ones who were tricked this time. If this happens again next time, it may not be them.
The vast majority of anti-Qin forces will choose this option if the matter has nothing to do with themselves and is left alone.
But if you hold this mentality, don't think about opposing Qin. It is impossible to succeed.
The Mohists are generally quite idealistic, so they are naturally willing to do this thankless job.
………………
At the foot of Mount Tai, the Eastern Patrol Team.
In Ying Zheng's carriage, he sat upright on the couch, his eyes closed, his body relaxed, and he leaned back slightly.
Gu Xun stood behind him, with emerald-colored zhenqi filaments lingering on his hands, connected to Ying Zheng's head.
As Gu Xun Yun Gong moves Qi, Ying Zheng's face becomes more soothed and his body becomes more relaxed.
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Xun gathered his true energy, calmed his inner breath, and stopped the treatment.
Ying Zheng then opened his eyes, with rare relaxation and softness in his eyes. After thinking about it for a moment, he said with emotion:
"As expected... I still need you to come."
Gu Xun did not take any credit, he walked to sit next to Ying Zheng and replied calmly, "It's not that others can't do it, it's just that your symptoms are getting more serious, Your Majesty."
"Treatment methods like mine are beyond the scope of medical skills, and it is impossible to achieve them even with thought."
After so many years of exchanges, Gu Xun and Nianduan's medical skills are almost at the same level. What one knows, the other will definitely know.
However, no one can replicate the extremely refined method of manipulating Qi to regulate the inside of Ying Zheng's body, as Gu Xun did just now. That is not a gap in medical skills, but a gap in internal strength.
It would have been impossible for anyone else to say so bluntly about the emperor's terminal illness. They didn't dare, and neither did Ying Zheng.
But Gu Xun is an exception.
Ying Zheng nodded calmly, "The effects of the Yin Yang family's elixirs are getting worse and worse."
Gu Xun was not surprised by this. He nodded slightly and said, "Although the art of elixirs and medical skills are different, they are somewhat similar in pharmacology. If you take more, the effect will definitely become worse and worse."
"Not to mention, Your Majesty, your illness is getting worse."
"Well..." Ying Zheng snorted softly, slowly closed his eyes, and said nothing to Gu Xun's words. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Do you think I still have time?"
Ying Zheng was not asking how much time he had left, because there was definitely not much time left. This was what Gu Xun had told him a long time ago.
What he wants to know is whether he still has time to seek the immortality he dreams of before he dies, which seems to be within his reach.
