Chapter 212 Secret Meeting

Outside the Mohist Guild Hall, the old man was waiting on crutches.

There was a bird song, and a flock of birds hovered over the Mohist Guild Hall. Seeing this, the old man murmured.

"What a handsome body."

Almost no one noticed this unusual scenery, whether it was the disciples in the Mohist guild hall or the passers-by on the street. Only the man supporting the old man seemed to realize something, but he didn't say anything.

"Sir, please."

The disciples of the Mo family went out to greet him and led the old man into the guild hall, where guests were received.

The backyard is clean and tidy, not as complicated as the front hall. It's winter, it's the time of severe cold, everything is silent, only there is some green color outside the courtyard.

"Sir, you are a distinguished scholar. It is a great honor for all my Mohist disciples to come to our Mohist family."

When Zhao Shuang said this, he coughed slightly and his whole body trembled slightly.

"However, I am injured and cannot greet you in person. I hope you will forgive me."

A smile appeared on Chu Nan Gong's face. The person in front of him was full of breath, not even a trace of water was revealed, and he seemed to have reached the level of a top master.

As for the injuries, they showed no signs of deterioration at all. For a moment, Chu Nan Gong knew it clearly.

This is what I'm pretending to be like!

For a moment, Chu Nan Gong felt resentful in his heart. I haven't said anything yet, and you want to shut me up?

However, the drama of being the leader of the Mo family had already begun, and Chu Nan Gong had to accompany him to continue the performance.

"The Commander-in-Chief has a high level of cultivation. I wonder who can hurt the Commander-in-Chief?"

But he heard the leader of the Mo family sigh slightly, and his body began to tremble more and more.

"It's all that snare, that damn snare!"

When he mentioned the word "net", Zhao Shuang couldn't help coughing again, with a sense of exhaustion and weariness in his voice.

"There are rumors in the world that not long ago, the Six Sword Slaves of Luo Wang had a battle with the commander-in-chief. The demon died, but the commander-in-chief escaped safely from the encirclement of Luo Wang."

"It was a fluke, just a fluke."

Zhao Shuang was very humble. As he spoke, he coughed twice.

"If it weren't for luck, I might have died in the hands of the snare. However, although I escaped, I was also seriously injured. The doctor told me that I need to rest and not work too hard."

After Zhao Shuang said this, he asked again.

"By the way, I wonder why sir is here?"

Chu Nanggong was suddenly speechless, and the man beside him who had never spoken suddenly spoke up.

"I am a soldier and I don't understand the tricks of Jianghu people. I just asked directly, does the commander-in-chief want to be an enemy of our Chu country?"

"May I ask your Excellency?"

Since the two people entered the room, Zhao Shuang noticed this mighty man following Chu Nan Gong.

"I am Xiang Liang, the general of Chu."

Zhao Shuang was a little surprised. He did not expect that this general from Chu State would suddenly appear here.

You know, this is now the land of Qin.

However, Zhao Shuang was immediately relieved. The Xiang family was the descendants of the Xiang State. Their surname was Ji, and they were descendants of the Zhou family. They were granted the title of Xiang and were generals of Chu for generations.

The state of Xiang was destroyed by the state of Lu, and the state of Lu was destroyed by the state of Chu. It can be said that the Chu State has great kindness to the Xiang family.

This is also the reason why the Xiang clan defended Chu until death.

There are many such vassals in Chu State, and the Xiang family has a strong influence in the eastern part of Chu State.

However, as a member of such a traditional feudal system, the eldest son inheritance system is adopted.

Xiang Liang is not the eldest son, but he has enough weight to represent the will of the Xiang family. There is no need to be afraid that his plans will have a fatal impact on the Xiang family.

"It turns out to be Xiang Liang of the Xiang clan. But, you just said that the Mo family wants to be the enemy of Chu. Where do you start?"

Zhao Shuang's words made Xiang Liang a little speechless. He really didn't expect that there were such shameless people in this world.

"The great commander used fifteen Mo disciples to help Tianze restore the country, and it became a good story in the world. However, the Mo family was indispensable in killing our Chu officials and making things difficult for our Chu army."

Zhao Shuang felt a little strange. It had been so many years. The Xiang family was about to launch an attack. Why did they choose this time?

"Rumors are all rumors. We, the Mo family, have always loved all things non-aggression and love peace. How could we do such a thing?"

Zhao Shuang clapped his hands, as if he had some thoughts.

"I understand, this must be Luo Sheng's conspiracy."

A snare?

Xiang Liang glanced at Chu Nan Gong, who only had a slight smile on his face but said nothing.

Xiang Liang was wondering, how could this be related to Luo Wang?

"The wolf in the net is ambitious and always likes to stir up trouble and stir up grudges in the world. The misunderstanding between the Mo family and the Xiang family is probably caused by the net."

"That's not impossible."

Xiang Liang suddenly whispered, a little deep in thought, but was awakened by Chu Nan Gong's cough.

"If this is the case, can Dongyue negotiate peace with our country, Chu?"

Zhao Shuang finally understood Xiang Liang's purpose.

"Why does the general ask me about the King of Dongyue?"

"I heard that although Dongyue is located in a remote sea area, most of the ministers and generals in the court army are disciples of the Mohist family. I think the king of Dongyue can listen to what the Mohist commander said."

After Tianze regained his kingdom, he no longer regarded himself as a Yuejun, but instead established the title of king. This is tantamount to breaking up with the Chu State and no longer accepting the policy of restraint implemented by the Chu State in the Baiyue Land.

The main force of the Chu army is in the Central Plains. The army around the capital has to deal with Qin, and the troops on the Huaihe River have to deal with Qi. Even if a conquest was to be carried out, to deal with East Vietnam, one would have to cross vast seas.

This requires a large number of ships and boats.

It's not worth it to build something; it's even less worth it to recruit people.

East Vietnam is not the main battlefield, and it is impossible for the Chu State to mobilize a large amount of materials to deal with this corner of the country, which would be a waste of national power. And with the national strength of Dongyue, it was impossible to cross the sea and attack Chu.

Therefore, maintaining a stalemate is actually the best state. Zhao Shuang has been waiting for the moment when Chu State is willing to negotiate peace. That means that East Vietnam no longer has to invest all its national resources in military affairs, but can develop its economy as much as possible.

It's just that Zhao Shuang didn't expect that this moment would happen so soon. It seems that there are not many problems within Chu State now!

"Rumors are all rumors. The King of Dongyue is the king of a country, and I am just a wanderer. How could he listen to me?"

"you"

Seeing Zhao Shuang pushing two, five, and six, Xiang Liang was a little angry and was about to explode, but was stopped by Chu Nan Gong.

"However, our Mohist family has always adhered to the principle of universal love and non-aggression. If the Chu State is willing to have a truce with East Vietnam, the people will be very lucky. I am willing to accept this responsibility with my weak body."

Zhao Shuang thought to himself, why is this kid so irritable and doesn't even listen to anyone's advice?

"When and where will Chu State be willing to have talks with Dongyue?"

"To maintain confidentiality, this matter will be discussed first in Daze Mountain."

Daze Mountain? That's the farm's territory!

Zhao Shuang smiled slightly and nodded.

"That's it, it's settled."
