In a simple and quiet courtyard, he was wearing a rough robe, straw sandals, and a hat on his head. At first glance, he knew that he was an old man from the Moh family. He was standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard.

Several young disciples of the Mo family who were also dressed simply and plainly walked quickly into the courtyard, bowed to the old man and shouted:

"Disciple, wait, pay homage to Master!"

The old man with a stern face slowly turned around and looked at the disciples whose clothes were still stained with morning dew and whose faces still looked tired. He frowned slightly and said:

"Is it so embarrassing?"

The leader of the Mohist disciple hurriedly said:

"Last night when the disciples entered the city, it was already late at night. They couldn't find a place to rest, so they made do with it all night... Early this morning, they received another summons from the master. The disciples did not dare to delay and came in a hurry.

I have no time to sort it out, so please forgive me, Master!"

When he heard that it was because he was anxious to meet him, the old man's expression softened slightly.

After seeing that his master's expression was no longer so ugly, the leader of the Mohist disciple hesitated slightly for a moment, gritted his teeth suddenly, and bowed:

"Master, Junior Brother Gongsun suddenly became seriously ill, so I decided to let him go home to recuperate..."

The few people in front of me were clearly the disciples of the Mo family who left Gongsun Mansion in a hurry last night.

At this time, all the Mohist disciples who were following him were puzzled as to why their senior brother lied, but when they thought of how their senior brother had taken care of them in the past, they all lowered their heads silently. Everyone chose to do this here.

It’s time to talk too much.

The old man didn't really care, he nodded casually and said:

"It doesn't matter, there should be enough manpower. Gongsun Yu has been studying under me for many years and has never returned home. Let him rest well this time!"

Having said this, the old man looked solemn, looked at his eldest disciple, and asked in a deep voice:

"Meng Mu, have you brought the things?"

When Meng Mu heard this, he quickly put down the machine box he was carrying behind him.

This mechanism box is made of fine iron, and its surface is tightly fitted. It is so exquisite that it is impossible to see where to open it.

But as Meng Mu gently flipped, slapped, and fiddled with the mechanism box with his hands, he heard a soft "click" sound, and the mechanism box suddenly opened, revealing a piece of jade that was all black and looked ordinary.

.

But obviously, this piece of jade is not as ordinary as it seems on the surface, otherwise it would not have to be carefully packed in such an exquisite machine box.

The old man reached out and took the jade, pinched it in his hands and played with it twice, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The most precious black jade that I, the Mo family's dynasties, have personally guarded, turns out to look like this..."

After sighing for a while, the old man put the black jade back into the machine box, then looked at the disciples and said in a serious voice:

"This time I have urgently called you here to help me build the 'Tianzhi' mechanism beast! You will take a short rest again today and set off with me early tomorrow morning!"

When the disciples heard what their master said, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

This mechanism beast is the essence of the Mohist mechanism technique. There are many mechanisms involved, and even among the Mohists, few people can do it alone.

Moreover, although this machine beast is powerful, it consumes a lot of money and is difficult to drive as desired. It is far less convenient than the concealed weapon of a crossbow. Not to mention people in the world, even elite disciples of the Mohist family have rarely seen it. New

At this time, his master suddenly summoned a group of brothers and wanted to build a machine beast for no reason, which really made them a little confused.

But after all, it was their master's order, and all the disciples did not dare to disobey it, so they immediately bowed in unison.

The old man nodded, looked at his eldest disciple Meng Mu, and said in a deep voice:

"Follow me and go meet a few people!"

Meng Mu still had a little understanding of what his master was going to do next, so he quickly bowed and said:

"Disciple, obey!"

After telling the other disciples to rest well here, the old man took Meng Mu away.

Following his master as he shuttled through Qielan City, after wandering for a long time, Meng Mu finally came to another secret house.

When the master and apprentice entered, they found that many people had already arrived in the house.

As soon as I walked in, I heard someone chuckle and say:

"Shen Qin, you came too slowly. It's a bit rude to keep everyone waiting for a long time!"

The old man of the Mo family, also known as Shen Qin, had a sullen face and said coldly:

"If we don't get black jade, the 'Tianzhi' mechanism beast can't be driven. When the time comes, will you, Shi Mingyi, and your Confucian disciples who are accustomed to only talk, stop the Yun Emperor's dragon boat and deal with Yun Guowan?"

Is there any remaining Imperial Army?"

Shi Mingyi, who was wearing a Confucian robe, meant to make a joke. Unexpectedly, Shen Qin came back with a sentence and immediately closed his mouth knowing that he was bored.

The middle-aged Taoist man wearing a plain Taoist robe did not want the atmosphere to become too tense, so he quickly answered:

"Mr. Shen is here. Now that we are all here, please quickly invite the people from the court to come out!"

Shen Qin glanced sideways at the middle-aged Taoist, then snorted coldly and said:

"Didn't you say that I am the slowest? The people who co-operated with the imperial court haven't arrived yet!"

"Hahaha, with Mr. Shen's temper, why didn't you come to my famous family in the first place?" The middle-aged scholar, who was holding a folding fan and showing bright eyes, couldn't help laughing.

Shen Qin inexplicably felt that the laughter was extremely harsh, and said unhappily:

"I'm sorry, I was wrong just now. Disciples from Confucianism can at least do some practical things. But you, a famous scholar, really only know how to talk with your lips!"

When the middle-aged scholar saw Shen Qin's retort, he immediately became energetic. As soon as he closed the folding fan in his hand, he stood up and had a serious discussion with him to let the old man know how powerful the famous master was.

At this moment, a slight cough was heard:

"Ahem, cough, cough, please give me some thin noodles!"

Everyone turned around and saw that the person who came was actually Feng Chu, who was currently in the Xia Kingdom's court and was in charge of the embroidery envoy!

Feng Chu saluted everyone with cupped fists and said:

"Everyone gathered in Qielan Mansion today with the intention of serving the country. Please give me some face and put everything else down before the big thing is completed!"

With Feng Chu's current status in the Xia Kingdom's court, his attitude is really low. A group of people who think highly of themselves, and even the slightly unruly Shen Qin, can't take advantage of Qiao.

, they all bowed their hands and stopped arguing, which was regarded as a response to Feng Chu's request.

When Feng Chu saw this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"Just because of the great changes in the world before, we, Daxia, were unable to take the lead, which resulted in the situation in the world being slightly declining. On the other hand, in the Yun Kingdom, since Emperor Yun ascended the throne and took power, in just a few years, troops have left Tiannan

, made an emergency landing in the Li Dynasty, captured the land of seven counties, and occupied nearly half of the world."

"Now, the Yun Kingdom is becoming more powerful, and the Turks in the north are eyeing the Central Plains. Our country, Daxia, has reached a period of turmoil. I invite you all to come here to discuss how to assassinate Emperor Yun, so as to save our country, Daxia, from danger.

The occasion!"

In the original Daxia, the national power ranked first among all the countries in the world. In the more than 600 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, even though the national power has waxed and waned, it has always used panic to overwhelm enemy countries. How can it be like now?

Use the method of gathering assassins to assassinate?

Although it is extremely embarrassing, these people in front of them are all high-level officials of Xiang Xia Kingdom, the center of all schools of thought. They are by no means ordinary people in the martial arts world, and they are not something Feng Chu can incite and perfunctory with a few casual words.

Therefore, if you want to gather them to assassinate Emperor Yun, you can only show your sincerity with a sincere attitude!

The middle-aged man from a famous family looked around at the people present, raised his brows slightly, and said:

"What else are we discussing? Emperor Yun is accompanied by more than ten thousand forbidden troops. With Mr. Shen here, we can just go up and surround Emperor Yun, right?"

The middle-aged man is not from the Mo family. He has traveled around the world for many years and has only seen the so-called machine beast once at the Mo family headquarters. Naturally, he does not know how powerful the "Tianzhi" machine beast is!

However, the machine beast is where the essence of the Mohist machine system gathers, and "Heavenly Will" is one of the core concepts of Mohism that is juxtaposed with "non-attack", "universal love" and other essences. The machine beast is named after this, and I don't know why.

It's simple. It's not difficult to stop the Yun Kingdom's imperial army, which is only about 10,000 people.

Even though the number of people here is small, they are all famous beings in the world!

After the great change in the world, the upper limit of martial arts has been raised, making it easier to break through in cultivation. The people here now, except for the young disciples among the hundreds of schools, the ones with the lowest cultivation level are all ninth-level masters.

Even the two people who came from Legalism and Taoism had a vague sense of the aura around them, and their auras were misty and outstanding. They were afraid that they had already reached the realm of gods on land.

If you are so well prepared, you can just act recklessly. What else do you need to plan for?

Everyone present also nodded in agreement and said one after another:

"We, the Fa family, received news from the court of Yun State that Emperor Yun did not bring many experts with him during this parade. Nan Jiyun, the commander of the imperial army, was left in Zhongqing City to guard the palace. Yun State is famous for its military force.

Those generals, Di Qing and Yang Dayan are in Jiangzhou County, Zhao Yun and Yang Zaixing are guarding Xingyuan Mansion. Yun State enshrines Xiao Feng, a master, and Duan Yu does not follow."

"My famous family has also received the news. Xu Su, the leader of the Yangyang family, Ge Shang, the military leader of the military family, and Jin Shengyuan, the leader of the Za family, have also stayed in the capital and have not followed!"

The Yin Yang family, the military family, and the miscellaneous family are the three families among the nine or ten that are now fully aligned with the Yun Kingdom.

Although there are still many disciples of the three families who are difficult to separate due to their respective origins, family ties and other factors, they are still serving the Xia Kingdom Court, but just in case, obviously no one dares to drag them over to participate in the assassination of Emperor Yun.

thing.

"So there are no masters around Emperor Yun?"

"I heard that Emperor Yun's parade this time, in addition to a group of civil and military officials, only a few young civil servants were hand-picked to accompany him. Everywhere they went, they sang and drank poems, as if they were traveling around the mountains and rivers."
