Chapter 479 Helping Hand

Xiaoyi.

For a long time, the difference between cities and towns was obvious. One had city walls and the other did not.

However, as the etiquette system collapsed and the times moved forward, the distinction between the two was no longer as clear-cut as before. Especially this town located in Sanchuan does not have a serious name, but because it is in such an important location, an earthen wall was built around it.

This defense is impossible to resist the army, but it is enough to prevent some bandits.

The land of Sanchuan has always been important. At that time, King Wu of Zhou Dynasty and Shang Dynasty crossed north from Mengjin. It can be said that for thousands of years, as a strategic passage, especially after the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward and then weakened, it was the key to the struggle for hegemony among princes.

This place changed hands several times, was divided and rejoined, and was finally in the hands of the State of Qin, becoming the main route for the Qin army to go eastward.

However, compared with the past, in the past twenty years, Xiaoyi has indeed experienced fewer military disasters, and has subsequently developed a small but prosperous business.

There are usually a lot of people in the rouge shop, but now it is closed.

The backyard was quiet, and the disciples of the Mo family guarded the door.

Zhao Shuang walked into Li Ji's room, and she was the only one in the room at this time. Seeing Zhao Shuang coming, Li Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?"

"The giant came to me that night and said that he had been struck by the Six Souls Fear Curse of the Yin Yang Family. He handed Mo Mei to me and told you to inherit the position of the giant, and then hurriedly left here."

"How long?"

"At that time, the Qin army was attacking Zhao. Counting the days, it has been two months. You have been staying in Wang Jian's camp, and I have been unable to convey the news to you."

Because of the changes in South Korea, Zhao Shuang stayed in Wang Jian's camp in order to distance himself, without contacting the outside world. However, he did not expect that such a big thing would happen during this period.

"Six Souls Terror Curse?"

Zhao Shuang murmured, feeling that the whole incident was a bit strange.

"In the Yin Yang family, as far as I know, from the leader down, the only ones who know the Six Souls Horror Curse are Concubine Yan and Moon God. Why is there another person who knows the Six Souls Horror Curse?"

"What if they lied to you, or if they did it themselves?"

Hearing the protective meaning in Zhao Shuang's words, Li Ji felt a little jealous.

"Impossible! They are in seclusion. Moreover, even if Donghuang Taiyi takes action himself, it is impossible to cast the Six Soul Horror Curse on the giant without defeating him."

But if he could be defeated, why would he cast the Six Soul Horror Curse?

Although the Six Souls Fear Curse is vicious, it is easy to prevent. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Six-Fingered Black Man to be attacked.

"What else did the giant say?"

"The great master said that the secrets guarded by the great masters of the Mohist family in the past are in the forbidden area of ​​​​Gan City, and I want you to check it out."

Agency city?

As a giant of the Mohist family, one is to control Mo Mei, and the other is to control the demonic realm outside the world.

"But what's going on with the rumors that the giant was killed in a trap?"

"Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang found that the net had killed all the villagers in the small village where Juzi had gone to drink, leaving only an old couple. They also found a nearby canyon with residual trap beasts and traces of fighting . Therefore, we suspect that it was Luo Wang who did it. But I don’t know why, but the news quickly spread throughout the world, and it seems that someone was behind it to add fuel to the flames."

"Immediately summon Gongshu Xiu, Mo Yuan, Bai Feng, Qu Fu, Baizhen, Guo Shou, Liang Da, and five hundred Mo Xia to go to Guancheng together."

Li Ji's expression changed, and she finally lowered her head and bowed her hands.

"Yes, giant!"

Zhao Shuang looked at the black eyebrow in his hand and shook his head slightly.

Yin Yang family.

"From today on, you are the third protector of the Yin Yang family, Xinghun!"

In front of Donghuang Taiyi, Qinglan knelt on the ground, took the clothes representing status from Yun Zhongjun, and bowed.

Around them, gathered the other elders of the Yin Yang family: Yunzhong Jun, Xiang Jun, and the two Xiang ladies.

"Thank you very much, His Excellency Donghuang."

Qinglan has been waiting for this moment for a long time. She is no longer a maid with a low status, but a noble status that matches her bloodline.

Yun Zhongjun bowed his hands and asked.

"Is the Six-Fingered Black Man really dead?"

"If he can't break through the tenth floor, he will definitely die. And just now, his life star fell."

Xiangjun was a little worried when he heard the news.

"But in this case, how should we explain to Lord Hanyang?"

The Yin Yang family and Han Yangjun are allies in the Qin State. They have developed well over the years and there has never been any barrier. The death of the Six-fingered Black Man could not be hidden from others, but not from him.

"The Yin Yang family no longer needs to explain to him."

Donghuang Taiyi's words revealed a lot of information, and for a moment, everyone in the palace was silent.

After the court meeting, Mr. Chang Wen, who had just been scolded, looked very unhappy. Returning to Lord Changping's house, he and Lord Changwen were still angry and yelling.

"Zhao Shuang! Zhuzi!"

There are military merit rewards for generals who have won battles. But if you lose the battle, there will be corresponding punishments.

Qin's military merit system has a clear description of upgrades, but it also has detailed regulations on demotion. Generally speaking, if you take the initiative to downgrade, you can get some discounts, such as atonement with military merit and turning slave relatives into civilians...

However, being passively demoted, especially those above the rank of Zuo Shu Zhang, would be very uncomfortable even if they were demoted one level.

Unlike Changwenjun, Changpingjun seemed very calm.

"It's hard for us, but it's the same for Zhao Shuang."

"Brother, what do you mean, is that rumor true?"

"Zhao Shuang did not return with the army, but found an excuse to stay in Shandong, which was enough to see that the situation was urgent."

"Then in my opinion, what will happen to the Mo family?"

"The divisions of the Mohist family are already visible. We can use some of them as aid as our helping hand abroad."

Chang Pingjun said, but Chang Wenjun had worry on his face.

"But secretly making friends with those anti-Qin forces, if one of them is not good, it will lead to fire."

"Today, the foundation of our Chu family has become weaker and weaker in the Qin State. After Fan Yuqi's defeat, there are now fewer and fewer officials of our Chu family in the court. I, the Right Prime Minister, have become less and less important. "

Chang Pingjun shook his head and sighed.

Even in the Qin State, their power is getting weaker and weaker, but in the Chu State, in the arena, they are still strong. This also means that Changping Jun must focus on something later.

"Zhao Shuang has now gained an advantage in the Qin State. Therefore, outside the Qin State, especially in the Jianghu, we can no longer let him win. The world is complicated, and the Jianghu struggle, within it, is surrounded by the Yin and Yang family and Luo Wang. , we can help, but we cannot form alliances; outside, if we want to make a difference, the key lies in one person."

"Who are you talking about, brother?"

"Yan Dan!"
