Chapter 1056

~5 min read 863 words

While Li Er was worried about the clans, Master Bianji, far away in Tianzhu, was living a happy life.

Although he also came from a clan, when he was young and ignorant, no one had ever taken him seriously.

He had very few opportunities to truly come into contact with the upper echelons of the clans.

Only after his clan was exterminated and he changed his name to Master Bianji did he begin to come into contact with the core of the clans little by little.

But in the eyes of the clans, he was still just a tool.

However, now, everything had become different.

His two assistants by his side were Wang Jing, the head of the Longcheng Wang family.

Having escaped the Great Tang to seek refuge with Master Bianji in Tianzhu,

he could only follow Master Bianji and offer advice.

The other was Pei Ji, sent by the imperial court to cooperate with Master Bianji.

The Hedong Pei family, although not as good as the four great clans, was also a significant clan.

What was even rarer was that Pei Ji had once been the head of the hundred officials.

In the imperial court, he had enjoyed ten years of being below one person and above ten thousand.

Now, he had also come under Master Bianji's command, becoming his other advisor.

With these two people assisting him, Master Bianji felt especially great.

Finally, through his own efforts, he had successfully raised his status.

If he had followed a normal official career, he would have had a hard time getting such an opportunity.

"Wang Jing, Pei Ji, in a few days, the Tianzhu people nearby are going to stage another uprising.

We cannot stay and accompany them to their deaths.

Pack your bags, and we'll leave with me in a while."

He had said this many times.

At the beginning, Pei Ji and Wang Jing were a bit uncomfortable.

Completely fooling others into dying, doing something that had no hope at all, and then running away after leaving them behind.

Strangely, the Tianzhu people seemed never to learn their lesson.

They were fooled by Master Bianji time and time again, but as long as Master Bianji incited them again, they would become agitated and continue to go to their deaths in the direction Master Bianji pointed.

It was outrageous!

Wang Jing, like Master Bianji, bore the blood feud of his clan.

Two days ago, he heard that all his family members had been taken to the city tower of the South Gate in Changancheng and beheaded!

The Longcheng Wang family, once a noble among the four great clans, had been completely erased.

This made Wang Jing somewhat furious.

At this moment, it erupted.

"What is the use of us doing these things here?

We can't even hurt a hair on the Great Qin!

Master Bianji, you claim to be a genius; can't you think of a better way?"

This was actually Pei Ji's thought as well.

It was just that he was here just to muddle along, so he didn't become the bird that stuck its head out.

Master Bianji, however, laughed nonchalantly.

"Wang Jing, don't just look at what's in front of you; look at the long term.

On the surface, you think the Tianzhu people rebelling has no impact on the Great Qin.

But in reality, these people will be captured by the Great Qin, and their homes will be raided, which will gather a large amount of wealth.

With such a large amount of wealth in front of them, the Great Qin's generals will surely have internal strife!"

Was this Master Bianji's goal?

Wang Jing and Pei Ji were both speechless.

If these benefits were in the Great Tang, they would surely cause internal strife.

But in the Great Qin, they had never heard of any Great Qin official having internal strife because of uneven distribution of benefits.

Master Bianji saw their expressions and knew this reason couldn't convince them.

He coughed twice and changed the subject.

"This time, we are going to secretly infiltrate Yizhou.

The high-quality ironware smuggled out last time inspired me.

I have decided to go and open up a smuggling channel myself.

Think about it, if this high-quality ironware were sold back to the Great Tang, how much profit would that be?"

Speaking of profit, Wang Jing and Pei Ji immediately perked up.

If they could smuggle high-quality ironware back to the Great Tang, that would also be a great achievement!

Pei Ji thought about performing a great service to strive for his son to be promoted.

While Wang Jing thought about transporting this ironware to Lingnan to forge fine weapons and arm the clan's private army!

On the matter of opening up a smuggling channel, the few of them were rarely in agreement.

They packed their things and prepared to set off.

Just at this time, a messenger disguised as a commoner quietly found Pei Ji.

He took out a secret decree and gave it to him.

Pei Ji opened it and saw it was the Emperor Li Er, wanting him to frame Master Bianji by saying he was smuggling high-quality ironware.
