Chapter 424

Jing Ke came to find Gai Nie to drink.

As the Six-Fingered Black Hero re-ascended to the position of Mohist Giant, he first carried out a liquidation of the Mohist School. Many people who relied on Yan Dan were ruthlessly dealt with by him, because he knew deeply that Yan Dan was against Qin, and keeping these people would have no benefit. If the Mohist School wanted to rely on the Qin Guo and find a way to survive, it had to deal with these people.

In this process, the Mohist School lost quite a few people, including the Great Hammer, the leader appointed by Yan Dan.

But it was also after dealing with these people who had different intentions that the remaining Mohists were more loyal to the Six-Fingered Black Hero, especially Jing Ke, because he was the first person to acknowledge that the Six-Fingered Black Hero was not dead and followed the Six-Fingered Black Hero's order to give up the assassination of the Qin Wang. The Six-Fingered Black Hero also entrusted him with more and more important tasks. Many people in the Mohist School could see that the Six-Fingered Black Hero had the intention of training Jing Ke to be the next Mohist Giant.

However, the few existing leaders did not say anything. During the Six-Fingered Black Hero's period, there were not many Mohist leaders, and there were even fewer young leaders. There were only Jing Ke, Qin Qin Wuyang, and Dao Zhi. The other leaders, whether it was Master Ban, Master Xu, or Chef Ding who was far away in the State of Qi, had no intention of being the Mohist Giant.

Among the three young leaders, Qin Qin Wuyang died, and Dao Zhi had no great ambitions. Only Jing Ke, who was both civil and martial, was the most suitable person to become the next Mohist Giant.

More importantly, after the incident with Yan Dan, the Mohists also realized that outsiders were ultimately not of the same mind as them, especially those born from royal nobility like Yan Dan, who would not sympathize with the suffering of the lower-class people. Letting him become the Giant would only make the Mohist School a tool for him to realize his ambitions, which was not a good thing for the Mohist School.

Over the past year, in order to let the Mohist School integrate into the Qin Guo as soon as possible, the Six-Fingered Black Hero not only urged the Mohists to help the Qin Guo with farming and develop various agricultural tools, but also tried hard to help the three countries of Han, Zhao, and Yan, which had been conquered by the Qin Guo, restore their vitality. At the same time, he also often brought Jing Ke to Xianyang to walk around in front of the Qin Wang, Ying Zheng, to draw closer the relationship with the Qin Wang.

The Six-Fingered Black Hero knew deeply that whether the Mohist School would have a way out in the future world did not actually lie in the Mohist School, but in the future master of the world, the Qin Wang.

As long as the Qin Wang is willing to let the Mohist School exist, this world will have a place for the Mohist School.

Conversely, if the Qin Wang insists on suppressing the Mohist School, even if the Mohist School survives temporarily, as long as the Qin Guo exists, the Mohist School will eventually become a heresy and only deserve to survive in the cracks, and one day it will perish.

The Six-Fingered Black Hero saw the future very clearly.

Jing Ke originally had no good feelings for the Qin Guo, but because the Six-Fingered Black Hero often brought him here, he became familiar with the Qin Guo after coming and going. Of course, there were still few acquaintances. The person he was most familiar with was probably Gai Nie.

Almost every time he came to Xianyang, he would come to Gai Nie's place to drink.

Today was the same. After Gai Nie left the palace and returned to the mansion, he brought two pots of fine wine and came over immediately.

Just as he was about to enter the mansion and drink all night with Gai Nie, Jing Ke's eyes inadvertently saw a residence nearby. The residence was brightly lit, and it was clear that someone was inside.

"That mansion, if I remember correctly, seems to be..."

Jing Ke often came to Gai Nie's mansion. The mansion not far away had been in an unoccupied state for a long time, but Jing Ke had heard Gai Nie explain whose mansion it was.

"It is Mr. Su's residence in Xianyang!" Gai Nie replied.

"Yin-Yang School Sect Master Su Xuan, has he come out of seclusion?" Su Xuan saved the Six-Fingered Black Hero that day. The Mohists felt grateful to Su Xuan. After the Mohist turmoil ended, Jing Ke followed the Six-Fingered Black Hero to Xianyang and also intended to visit Su Xuan to thank Su Xuan again in person, and at the same time take the opportunity to get close to the Yin-Yang School, because the Six-Fingered Black Hero had told him that he could only make friends with the Yin-Yang School and could not offend the Yin-Yang School.

Jing Ke thought so too. After all, the strength of the contemporary Yin-Yang School Sect Master was too powerful. If you could make friends with such a person, you should try your best not to be his enemy.

It is a pity that he did not see Su Xuan because Su Xuan went into seclusion. Later, he traveled between the Mechanical City and Xianyang several times, but Su Xuan had always been in seclusion and had not come out.

"Mr. Su came out of seclusion recently. In the past few days, he has often gone to the palace to impart the path of cultivation to the King!"

As the palace's chief swordsman, Gai Nie knew something about Su Xuan's movements.

"Oh?" Jing Ke was a bit surprised. He did not expect Su Xuan to impart the path of cultivation to the Qin Wang. But thinking that although Su Xuan was young, his strength was shocking, he was indeed qualified to impart the path of cultivation to the Qin Wang.

Putting away the surprise in his heart, he said to Gai Nie: "Brother Gai, I want to visit Mr. Su!"

He told Gai Nie the reason why he was prepared to visit Su Xuan: "Mr. Su saved the Six-Fingered Giant, which is a great kindness to my Mohist School. After the Mohist matter ended, I thought about visiting him, but he was in seclusion. Now that he is in Xianyang, I must visit him for the sake of reason and emotion."

Gai Nie was very familiar with Jing Ke, and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "I'm afraid it's more than that!"

Jing Ke did not hide it from Gai Nie either: "Besides that, I heard from Brother Gai that Mr. Su's swordsmanship is also unique in the world!"

It is not that Jing Ke had not seen Su Xuan take action. That day in the Mechanical City, Su Xuan flicked his sleeves, and all the Mohist disciples who came to attack them were defeated. But Su Xuan did not show any techniques related to the Dao of the Sword.

It was only later when he came to Xianyang that he learned this from Gai Nie.

As a descendant of the Ghost Valley, Gai Nie's swordsmanship was transcendent, and he even won in the duel with his fellow disciple Wei Zhuang. This meant that if there were no accidents, Gai Nie would become the next Guiguzi.

However, even so, Gai Nie still held Su Xuan in high regard, saying that his swordsmanship was still far behind Su Xuan's.

Gai Nie immediately knew that Jing Ke wanted to visit Su Xuan because his hands were itchy and he was prepared to ask Su Xuan for a sword duel!

Over the past year, he also heard Jing Ke talk about his life after Puyang fell. He joined the Mohist School, learned Mohist martial arts, and then walked in the world, asking many swordsmen for sword duels to temper his own Dao of the Sword.

Wine and swords can be said to be the two things Jing Ke loved most in his life.

"I will go with you!"

Gai Nie was worried that Su Xuan would refuse Jing Ke's sword duel, so he was prepared to go with Jing Ke. In any case, the relationship between him and Su Xuan was still more familiar than the relationship between Jing Ke and Su Xuan. Su Xuan might sell him a favor.

Jing Ke and Gai Nie, carrying the wine they had originally prepared to drink in Gai Nie's mansion, turned and headed toward Su Xuan's mansion.
