Chapter 460: Beginning and End (asking for monthly ticket)

All the Mohist schools in the world came under the command of the King of Qin.

The torrent of secular world changes drastically, often beyond the expectations of ordinary people. The Mohist mechanical devices, which were originally scattered all over the world like sparks in the sky and mostly fought alone, are now gathered together like flames under the call of the Mohist leader Ling and King Qin, and completely transformed into a ball of flames.

However, those Mohist mechanical engineers who mastered Mohist mechanical techniques and siege weapons were detained by the two countries of Chen and Ying in various ways.

The gathered Mohist disciples stepped into the newly built place, accepted the guidance of the Mohist leaders, and prepared to pass on the Mohist students' ideas and school knowledge to the young people who were willing to learn.

Li Guanyi allocated a large amount of funds, and the Mohist disciples only tried to make some requests about this matter.

All satisfied!

So proud!

The Mohist disciples, who had always been poor, were stunned.

The support and gold and silver came too quickly, and the disciples of the Mohist school felt a little uncomfortable because of this, and they began to doubt themselves for a while.

What they are good at is not the kind of war machinery that can be used to fight on the battlefield, capture cities, and kill people everywhere. No king or prince has ever invested so much gold and silver in such things.

Moreover, the King of Qin said that this was only the first batch.

More to come.

First batch!!!
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is full of heroic spirit.

Two words.

rich!

Where did the money come from? There is no need to ask such trivial questions.

And now, such an abundance of money successfully broke through the Mohist disciples, who were known for their poverty among all the schools of thought. These Mohist disciples, who followed the order of the great master, picked up their swords and ran barefoot here, thinking that there was a huge dilemma to be dealt with here.

Unexpectedly, coming here would open their eyes and shock their souls.

The King of Qin is so rich!
The disciples of Mohism discovered that these gold and silver were real and could be used for study and research. In addition, there were also young people selected from the people in the entire territory who were willing to learn the Mohist doctrines and the art of mechanical engineering and who had already learned literacy and numerology.

The impoverished Mohist school encountered an attack at the king level.

There is enough gold and silver, and there are inheritors selected from across the vast territory.

Everything is ready.

Instead of walking barefoot around the world like in the past, slowly looking for children with destiny and talent; trying to guide them to learn, trying to let them follow the Mohist path; even such efforts may not necessarily have any effect.

It is often difficult to find children who are truly talented and willing to try the Mohist school.

Even if such a child is found, they will face the gazes of their parents and relatives——

"Joining the Mohist School and learning this kind of mechanical art can protect yourself?"

“Can there be a better life?”

The Mohist disciples who travel the world barefoot and in black clothes often encounter the greatest shock and frustration at the last stage.

And now, everything is ready.

Damn, I've never fought such a rich battle!
These Mohist disciples had never experienced such abundance before and could not believe it. The leaders and elders of the Mohist school all felt uneasy, wondering if His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin had recognized the wrong person and therefore had extremely unrealistic expectations of them.

They were expected to design and create mechanical devices for killing and conquering cities. If they failed to do so, they would inevitably bring disaster and hostility.

So the elders from different branches of the Mohist School went to discuss with His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

The King of Qin came happily and had a long conversation with him for several days.

From the groundbreaking nature of mechanical technology to attempts to popularize it in people's daily lives and facilitate people's livelihood, the conversation goes on and on.

The King of Qin was very interested in the conversation. For several days, the Mohist elders went from rejection at the beginning, to trance later, and finally to enthusiasm as if they saw the possibilities of the future.

The disciples of Mohism had no idea what they were talking about.

Anyway, after the elders came back, they no longer mentioned their departure.

The Mohists of the chivalrous lineage are still traveling around the world, because in such a world, injustice will eventually occur, while the Mohists of the mechanical lineage have already settled here and started their own journey for future possibilities.

In the Tiance Palace.

Yan Daiqing flipped through the logistics files, rubbed his brows with his fingers, and sighed, "You are really talented, my lord. Although you have bad luck and ordinary ability to make money, you are really good at spending money."

"More than 2.8 million taels of silver, almost everything has been arranged and sent to a destination in such a short period of time."

Li Guan remained calm: "It's okay."

"I have asked Mr. Nan Hanwen to apply for the second batch of funds for Chen Dingye."

Yan Daiqing: “…………”

Use the gold and silver from Chen Dingye to train talents for the people and Tiance Mansion.

Then the talents of Tian Ce Mansion and the generals of Qilin Army continued to fight against Emperor Chen.

This kind of relationship is really too delicate, to the point that even Yan Daiqing didn't know what to say. Yan Daiqing sighed, a little worried, and asked gently:
"But, wouldn't Chen Dingye be suspicious if he applied to Chen State for silver so frequently?"

Li Guanyi said: "Chen Dingye, maybe he will be suspicious."

"If you look closely at what Mr. Nan Hanwen did, there will definitely be traces. However, all the officials, civil and military, will come to help Mr. Nan Hanwen."

Yan Daiqing was slightly startled, then he vaguely realized something.

The expression on this gentle gentleman's face became extremely complicated, and in the end he just sighed.

Li Guanyi said: "The civil and military officials of the State of Chen all know about this action against us, and at this time, the officials are actually planning to enrich themselves and plunder their own interests while the State of Chen is still there."

"Even if they sense something is slightly wrong, they will just feel that."

"This is because Mr. Nan Hanwen has also started to embezzle money like them."

"If this kind of thing only involves the first batch of gold and silver, and if it is cut off from now on, wouldn't they have no way to make money? At this point, it doesn't matter what else it is, it's all about profit."

"For the sake of profit, all the civil and military officials of the State of Chen will do their best to facilitate this matter, so that the second, third, and even fourth batches of gold and silver will appear continuously..."

Li Guanyi stretched out his hand, his five fingers seemed to grasp a weapon in the void, and said to himself:
"If not, how can they benefit?"

"If not, how can they make money?"

"If it is not so, how can you be the nobles?"

Yan Daiqing was silent for a long time, and said: "Ten million taels of silver have become two million eight hundred and seventy thousand taels. It is really a layer of peeling. Although he is our opponent at the moment, it is shocking to watch from the sidelines."

"If one day we can conquer the State of Chen, what will you do, my lord?"

"All of you are famous scholars."

Li Guanyi sat on his side. When he heard that 10 million taels had become 2.87 million, his cheeks twitched slightly and he smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not angry."

"not angry."

"Why should I be angry? It's not my money. It's not mine."

"However, it is a matter of convenience anyway. I have asked Mr. Nan Hanwen to write a letter with the list of these people."

Yan Daiqing said: "Oh?"

Li Guan said without changing his expression:
"Wen He and Xiao Zhi should have already received the list."

Yan Daiqing said: "I understand."

Li Guan smiled, watching the people coming and going on the road outside, brushing his sleeves and standing up, tying his hair with a wooden hairpin, he had developed a different aura from a young knight or a hero on the battlefield, and said softly:
"Gentlemen."

"A lot of rats."

Yan Daiqing sighed and said nothing for a while. After dealing with the matters at hand, he seemed to remember something and took out two more things, put them on the table, and said softly:
"My Lord, there are two pieces of paper that have arrived one after the other. I was supposed to deliver them to you personally, but since you are here, please take a look."

Li Guanyi was curious and took the letter to look at it. He found that one of the two letters came from Zhongzhou and had a red dragon pattern on it. It was obviously from the royal family of Zhongzhou and was Ji Zichang's handwritten letter.

The other letter was written on ordinary paper.

It was a rough straw paper. Even after such a long time, one could still faintly smell a hint of alcohol on the white paper. It came from the northern frontier, from outside the northern border, and it was a letter from Yuan Shitong, an old subordinate of Duke Taiping.

Li Guanyi said, "General Yuan Shitong replied. It seems that General Yue has come here."

Yan Daiqing also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If Marshal Yue arrives, with his prestige and ability, he will be able to take charge of the rear. At that time, the lord can promote the two matters of Xiyi City and Chen Guogong's secret realm."

"Mr. Pojun is already preparing for this."

At this moment, the Tiance Mansion is full of talented people. It can be said that there are brave generals like clouds and strategists like rain. Different things and different strategic plans have been taken charge of by completely different people and are being promoted in parallel.

Li Guan nodded, took two letters and read them, walked out of here, and opened the letters on the way back to Murong's house. The first one he opened was the letter from Ji Zichang. As soon as Li Guan opened the letter, he looked up and saw that Ji Zichang was just congratulating him on his strategic success. No matter how open-minded he was, Ji Zichang was still the contemporary Red Emperor after all.

There is no doubt that what Li Guanyi did showed him enough respect. Ji Zichang was not a brainless person. He would not think that this was what a subject should do.

Ji Zichang mentioned this matter and expressed his gratitude in the letter.

But behind it, it was a happy event.

"I have a daughter."

Li Guan raised his eyes in surprise, thinking back to a few years ago when he was still in Zhongzhou Academy. At that time, Ji Zichang was drunk and mentioned his child who died early. Ji Zichang even remembered how many days had passed since his death.

At this moment, Ji Zichang's child was born, and Li Guanyi was truly happy for him. He planned to write a reply letter and prepare a return gift, simply as a congratulations between friends.

Li Guanyi put away the first letter.

Then he opened the second letter and saw the letter from Yuan Shitong. Li Guanyi opened the letter and saw that Yuan Shitong mentioned that General Yue had received a letter from Jiangnan. Although Yue Pengwu was unable to lead the army back due to the alert of Ying State, Yue Pengwu had come alone.

When Li Guan saw the letter, Yuan Shitong said:
[Young Master, Madam seems to be spending too much energy, she is coughing all the time and is not feeling well]

[It's fun to conquer the world, but if you turn around like those heroes in the world, with no one left, wouldn't that be a pity?]

Li Guan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said:
"The young lady is not in good health..."

The world is so vast and full of ups and downs. Li Guanyi and Xue Shuangtao kept in touch with each other through letters, but they seldom met. However, he was at a level above the Grandmaster and was practicing military cultivation, so his energy and blood were like a rainbow, so it was no problem.

But Miss...

Li Guanyi paused, turned around, and went to where the pharmacists of the Qilin Army were. Shi Dalin was surprised and said, "My lord, do you need any elixir? We can make whatever you want!"

Li Guanyi wanted to speak, but when he thought of the methods of the seven old ghosts under the Qilin Army, his expression froze. Facing the eager gazes of these people, he said calmly: "It's okay, nothing, I just came here to take a look."

Shi Dalin's face was obviously disappointed: "Huh?"

Li Guanyi remained calm and walked quickly inside. He saw the old sorcerer still there. The old sorcerer was surprised and asked Li Guanyi why he came. Li Guanyi looked at the alchemy furnace in front of the old sorcerer and asked calmly:

"The old senior's alchemy skills are unrivaled in this era. I wonder if there is any elixir that can warm up a woman's body?"

The old warlock was puzzled: "Hmm?"

After listening to Li Guanyi's description, the old sorcerer suddenly realized, "This is probably because you have exhausted your energy too much, and your spirit and energy have been depleted. You are forcing yourself to hold on. If you hold on like this for a day occasionally, your body will be able to recover."

"But if you always push yourself, you'll easily become ill from overwork."

"Your Majesty, is this friend very old?"

Li Guanyi said: "No."

The old sorcerer was puzzled: "He is young and mentally strong, so this shouldn't happen. And he has martial arts skills, so does he have a bad family background?"

Li Guanyi replied: "The richest man in the world."

The old sorcerer paused in his alchemy, sighed, and said, "At such a young age, he has the martial arts of the third heaven, and he is also the richest man in the world. He should be born rich, worry-free, and innocent and romantic. What happened?"

"How could such a young woman end up like this?"

The King of Qin remained silent.

The old sorcerer took the elixir and placed it next to King Qin. The sorcerer, who had experienced madness, faked his death, and lived again by dying, said, "I have a superior elixir here, called [Nine Transformations to Calm the Mind], which can calm the mind and spirit. It may be useful and can provide some relief."

"However, the purpose of the elixir is just to use the power of medicine and food to slightly replenish the substances that have escaped from the body. In the final analysis, it is only a temporary solution and not a cure for the root cause. It may be effective in a short period of time to restore the vitality and slightly improve the spirit."

"But if you can't solve the root cause of your friend's problem, he will relapse eventually. When that happens, you'd better be careful."

The old sorcerer looked calm and said, "Your Majesty, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."

"This heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine after all."

The King of Qin was silent for a long time, then he picked up the bottle of elixir and said, "Thank you, old sir." The old sorcerer stroked his beard and laughed, saying, "Why are you thanking a layman like me? What I gave you are just elixirs for ordinary people. The real elixir may still be with you, Your Majesty."

"Or maybe there is a supreme magic method and a heroic power."

"Dig my useless disciple out of the ground again and refine another elixir of immortality. Perhaps I can save him by force with just this miraculous elixir instead of the Heart Medicine."

Li Guanyi bid farewell to the old sorcerer, holding the elixir, and sent it back to the Xue family through Changfeng Tower. However, at this moment, he received information from the front-line pass of the corresponding country in Jiangnan and Changfeng Tower.

Found the trace of Yue Shuai!

Marshal Yue was marching quickly towards the territory of Jiangnan.

However, his tracks had been exposed, and he was alone without leading any troops deep into the enemy's country. Now he was facing the pursuit and blockade of the troops led by the generals of Ying State. Under such circumstances, even the Wolf King Chen Fubi could only end in regret.

Yue Pengwu is in danger.

Yan Daiqing was shocked and said, "With General Yue's skills and martial arts, even if he didn't bring any soldiers with him, he wouldn't be discovered so easily by Ying State. Could it be that there is a traitor?"

There was a strange look in the eyes of Wen Qingyu and Xiao Zhi.

Look at each other.

They saw the same answer in each other's eyes.

'The disguised son of the Duke of Taiping'

'Those two restless shadows'

Wen Qingyu nodded gently.

The smile on his lips became more gentle and harmless.

Xiaozhi was just writing something down in the notebook.

The atmosphere was peaceful and warm. The reporter bowed slightly and said, "That's not the case." He hesitated and said, "When General Yue came here, he met a grassroots hero from Ying State."

"They got along quite well with each other."

"Marshal Yue has a strong character and is upright. He has convinced these people who have fallen into poverty. These people are willing to serve under Marshal Yue and work together for great things."

"On the way back, we encountered civilians being robbed by bandits. General Yue couldn't bear to see the civilians die in vain, so he stood up to fight for them. It happened that the Mohist elder, Guan Twelve, was beside him, so the two of them joined forces to protect the civilians."

“Although it was a great victory, the news leaked out.”

"That's why General Yue was exposed. He sent a message to us, telling us that with his martial arts skills, after settling the people, he could avoid the strong and attack the weak, and come to our Tiance Mansion to meet the king."

"Since he was the only one who did this, he should be held responsible."

"Don't worry."

Yan Daiqing said: "The people that General Yue saved are also extremely important to Ying State. With the character of Jiang Wanxiang of Ying State, he will step up efforts to protect the people. And General Yue's martial arts and strategies, there is no need to worry too much about this trip."

Li Guanyi looked at the battle report and exhaled slightly. Without hesitation, he whispered, "Where is General Yue's position?"

The scout was slightly startled, his eyes widened, and he was slightly stunned.

Yan Daiqing, Wen Qingyu and others looked at the King of Qin in the ink-black robe. They seemed to understand, as if they had expected it, and there seemed to be a hint of pride mixed together.

Wen Lingjun said: "My Lord, you want to..."

Li Guanyi looked around at everyone and said, "Marshal Yue came for us. Now that we are in danger, should we just sit here quietly and wait for Marshal Yue to come?"

"He who comes here to fight is from my Tiance Mansion. If he encounters any danger, he will solve it on his own."

"There is absolutely no such thing in the world!"

He put down the scroll representing the battle report, clasped his hands together, and the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd appeared in his hand. The halberd vibrated and made a sound like a tiger's roar. The King of Qin spoke word by word, "If you take one step, I will take a hundred steps."

"Five years ago, I watched Yue Shuai walk to a safe place."

"After five years, it will be my turn."

The Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd was raised, the sharp edge pressed against the ground, and he said slowly:

"Personally welcome Marshal Yue!"

"Only in this way can it be considered a sentence with a beginning and an end."

Yue Pengwu was accustomed to fighting alone, but he never thought that this time, the king he chose would not issue twelve imperial edicts asking him to abandon the people and return. Today, the King of Qin personally rode on a Qilin and left Jiangnan to meet Yue Pengwu and the people.

Golden-winged Roc, the unicorn in troubled times.

A turbulent time.

Soon,

Meet the teacher!
