Chapter 22 The Plan Seen Through
The bonfire was still swaying. The Six-Fingered Black Knight suppressed his thoughts at the moment. He picked up the wine jar and took a few sips of wine.

"There are several major leadership positions under the Mohist masters. Are you interested in taking on one of them?"

There was no temptation in the Six-Fingered Black Knight's words, but more like an invitation.

He was unable to see through Ying Zifei's true plan for the time being, but he was very sure of one thing: the path Ying Zifei was going to take and the things he was going to do were not only within the framework of Mohism, but also occupied an important position.

And this is enough!
As a leader of the Mohist school, he had to consider the inheritance and demise of the school.

The various schools of thought were not isolated from the courts of the Seven Kingdoms. On the contrary, the courts of the Seven Kingdoms became a battlefield for the various schools of thought to compete with each other.

The strength of Qin Mo, apart from their own ideas, was also due to the fact that they and the Qin State, which had successfully carried out reforms, benefited each other.

The will of the king, the will of the country, and even the situation in the world must all be considered by this great Mohist figure.

"Is the Master going to personally push for another split in the Mohist School?"

Ying Zifei laughed, raised his eyebrows and said: "The Mo Xia lineage is now opposing the Qin State in the name of "punishing violence as justice."

"During the chaotic times of the Seven Kingdoms, the war has never ended. Sir, don't you see that in the future, the Chiyou sword in my hand will be stained with the blood of those so-called Mo Xia?"

"A great leader of the Mohist school killed his own people. Tsk tsk tsk, Your Excellency, are you trying to put me in an unjust situation?"

When the Six-Fingered Black Knight heard this, he felt the murderous intent in Ying Zifei's words and fell silent again.

The conflict of ideas and contradictions is already doomed. Now it is difficult for the Mo Xia lineage to have peace with Ying Zifei.

……

The night was silent and quiet. The Six-Fingered Black Knight left. He and Ying Zifei reached some agreement and tacit understanding.

"Sir, why don't you agree to let the Mohist master take over the position of the Mohist leader?"

Ah Fu asked in confusion, and then added: "Don't you always say that it is better to have more friends than more enemies?"

Ying Zifei shook his head and smiled, then sighed: "Afu, this is an era where many people cannot decide their own destiny."

“I would rather find like-minded people than take advantage of some people.”

"If I have to pick a way for the two to fight, I would rather both sides fight for their own ideas, rather than turning against each other after taking advantage of each other."

"A fight like that is an insult to them, and even more so to me."

Ah Fu seemed to understand, but Ying Zifei stopped explaining. In this era, some people are destined not to be friends, and some people may become confidants, but they also have to draw their swords to fight.

He Ying Zifei is not a noble person, but he is not a despicable person either.

This is a brilliant era!

It is also an era when many people are confused!
……

Suppressing their thoughts, Ying Zifei and Afu went into the carriage to rest. The next day, Ying Zifei and Afu woke up early and continued on their journey, heading towards Daliang City in Wei State.

The two men rode leisurely on the carriage, occasionally robbing the bandits who blocked their way, which was quite a lot of fun.

In a city of the Wei State, the six-fingered Black Knight sat cross-legged on a stone bench in a small courtyard with his eyes closed to rest.

"I thought you were going to fight him?" A man walked out of the house and saw the Six-Fingered Black Knight sitting cross-legged, with a teasing tone in his words.

The six-fingered black warrior opened his eyes and said calmly, "Someone is deliberately misleading me to think that Ying Zifei's recruitment of Mohist disciples is related to some plan of the Yin-Yang School."

"He actually convinced you?" The man was a little surprised and asked curiously: "Can you tell me what Ying Zifei's answer is?"

"You and I both know that ever since Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang family decided to enter Qin, that little guy Ying Zifei is destined to be entangled with the people of the Yin-Yang family."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight did not hide anything and told the man everything Ying Zifei had said to him last night.

After listening to this, the man remained silent, but his eyes sparkled like stars. After a long while, the man seemed to have figured something out. He smiled first, and then burst into laughter!

"Good, good, good!"

"What a great Ying Zifei, what a great Marquis of Zhen'an of Qin, what a great ruler of the Black Ice Platform!"

The man kept saying good things, and his words of praise were overflowing.

"It seems that you understand his plan?" The Six-Fingered Black Knight knows this guy's talent and wisdom.

The man nodded slightly, smiled and said: "The changes in the Qin court have already proved that the young King of Qin has the potential to be a great ruler."

"One thing leads to another. The young King of Qin used his wisdom and advantages to ensure that the power of Qin could be transferred peacefully in the future."

The man smiled, sat down and continued, "I was originally wondering why Lu Buwei would choose another path just by relying on paper."

"now I understand."

He looked at the Six-Fingered Black Knight and said with great certainty: "The young King of Qin has more cards in his hand that can change the Qin State and even the world."

"And those trump cards must have been prepared by Ying Zifei, or even prepared by him for Qin King Ying Zheng."

"In their eyes, they are no longer just looking towards the Qin State, but towards the entire world."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight felt the fog of doubt in his heart suddenly dissipate, and his whole body tensed up.

"You mean, they are already preparing for Qin to unite the world?"

"Isn't it obvious?" The man asked back, and laughed: "Since the Qin Dynasty successfully reformed, there have been wise rulers for six generations, and it has been a sign of dominance."

"A few years ago, the King of Han, in a self-righteous plan to weaken Qin, sent hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo to Qin to push Qin to build a canal in Guanzhong."

"Although Lü Buwei was greedy for power and fame, he was also a man of great talent. He certainly saw that the King of Han's purpose was to use this method to delay the Qin army and give Han a break."

"But he also saw the great use of Zheng Guo's successful canal construction in Guanzhong."

"Qin originally had the fertile land of Shu. If Zheng succeeds in building the canal, the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin will surely be a fertile land of thousands of miles."

"With this foundation and the Qin army, who in the world can resist?"

This person only felt inexplicably emotional when he spoke of this, and sighed: "If Lü Buwei continues to suppress King Qin Ying Zheng, there will be turmoil in the Qin court in the future."

"But now that the king and his subjects are in harmony and the country is stable, what Qin needs to do is wait for the canal to be built, and then go east with all its strength."

"Whether it's Lu Buwei, Ying Zifei, or the young King of Qin, their eyes are all set on the future."

"Ying Zifei's "theory of civilian use" is a preparation for war and also a preparation for the future when Qin unified the world."

Six-Fingered Black Knight was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then looked at the man: "You once told me that the day you were born would be a time when the world situation would change."

"Now it seems that you want to enter Qin, right?"

The man shook his head and nodded, chuckled and said: "I am a Wei person, and have served Wei for generations."

"Whether I shall join Qin or not is not up to me, but up to the King of Wei."

"The King of Wei has hired me. The world is in turmoil. With my ability, I may be able to restore the Kingdom of Wei to its former glory."

"The King of Wei didn't use me, which cut off some of my dreams. It's also a pleasure to go to Qin to show what I have learned."

"The ruler chooses his subjects, and the subjects choose their ruler, isn't it?"
