Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Hou Sheng looked up at Ju Xin who was reading Li Mu's military order, then lowered his head obediently, and continued to write his letter.

Ju Xin looked at it, frowning sometimes, and sometimes relaxed.

"Mr. Donglai, don't write letters yet, just read this." Ju Xin put a silk book in front of Hou Sheng, and said in a deep voice, "This is a dark letter from Linzi sent to Gaowan City. , can you decipher the secret above?"

Hou Sheng was stunned for a moment, then took the Yin Shu from Ju Xin's hand, looked at the secret on it, and remained silent for a long time.

Ju Xin was anxiously waiting, and couldn't help asking, "Is it okay?"

Only then did Hou Sheng come back to his senses, and said, "I have some confidence."

"Oh?" Ju Xin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "Let's hear it."

Hou Sheng reached out and tapped the secret code in front of him, and said, "General Ju Xin, you should know that generally speaking, Yin Shu must be deciphered with Yin Talisman. But this Yin Talisman is not necessarily certain symbols, it is also It can be a song, a chapter, a few proverbs, or even someone's name, etc."

Ju Xin nodded and said: "Of course I know this, so what you mean by this sentence is that you can guess what the Yin Talisman of Qi Wangjian's Yin Shu is?"

Hou Sheng said: "Although Qi State set up the Jixia Academy, it is known as a hundred schools of thought contending. But if you look closely, you will find that Confucianism is actually the number one school in Qi State, and the monarchs of Qi State have been greatly influenced by Confucianism. Profound. So I have great confidence that this yin talisman is probably one of the works of Confucian sages."

Ju Xin is not the kind of reckless general who can only fight, but a capable man with both martial arts, so after careful consideration, he made an affirmation: "In this way, Mencius and Xunzi should be the two most likely candidates .”

Mencius, Meng Ke, and Xunzi Xun Kuang, these are the two most famous Confucianists in the Warring States Period.

Hou Sheng said: "That's right. According to what I know, when Xunzi was serving wine at the Jixia Academy, this yin talisman was actually Xunzi's Exhortation to Learning. But later Xunzi went to Zhao and founded the Huaxia Academy. The king of Qi hated Xunzi for this, and there is no need for it. So I think this should be one of Mencius's chapters."

"Mencius?" Ju Xin frowned, and said, "Mencius has seven chapters and 260 chapters. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if we searched all of them one by one?"

Hou Sheng smiled and said: "General, don't panic, I haven't finished my words yet. Among the seven chapters of Mencius, King Qi's favorite chapter is Teng Gongye. You only need to search carefully from the fifteen chapters of Teng Gong, and it should be easy." You can find out where the real Yin Talisman is."

Ju Xin patted his thigh and said joyfully: "Then what are you waiting for, come on, come and look for me right away, and send a copy of Mencius Teng Gong!"

An hour later, a pile of thick bamboo slips was sent to Ju Xin's handsome tent, and Hou Sheng and Ju Xin immediately started searching for evidence.

The sound of reading aloud began to resound in the handsome tent.

"His gentleman is as mysterious as a bandit to welcome his gentleman, and his villain eats a pot of pulp to welcome his villain. To save the people from the fire and water, take what is left of them."

"Those who are good at the top will be very good at the bottom; the virtue of a gentleman is the wind; the virtue of the villain is the grass; the wind of the grass will die and the friend will return to life. By the way, this is it!"

The two got together in an instant, and began to line up according to the secrets on the Yin Shu.

After a while, the Yin Shu was finally deciphered.

Chapter 936 After the victory into Gaowan (second update)

The deciphered information was immediately sent to Gaowan City, and to Li Mu's case.

"Qi wants to die, and the king orders to return."

Very simple six words.

Li Mu looked at the six big characters in front of him, and remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly felt self-defeating.

The content of this yin book is actually very simple, which means that Qi Wangjian can no longer support the pressure from Zhao Jun, and wants Zhou Fen to withdraw his troops from Gaowan City and return to Linzi.

If this top-secret book was really handed over to Zhou Fen, then Zhou Fen would very likely choose to abandon the city to break through.

But the problem is that this dark book was intercepted by Zhao Jun's scouts and fell into Li Mu's hands!

Li Mu looked at the Yin Shu in front of him with some irony, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

What should we do now?

If possible, then the first choice is naturally to find a way to send this dark book into Gaowan City.

But the problem is that due to the material, the Yinshu can no longer return to its original appearance after being developed. It is already impossible to give this Yinshu to Zhou Fen in its original form. .

Li Mu thought about it, and decided that he should give it a try, so he summoned the master craftsman accompanying the army: "Here is a copy of Qi State's Yin Shu, could you forge a copy?"

The master held this Yinshu back and forth and looked at it for a while, then shook his head, and said: "General Governor, the material of this Yinshu comes from the Qi State Workshop, and the ingredients and formula are also unique and secret to Qi State. In addition, there is also the seal of King Qi on it, it is really difficult to forge it."

Li Mu shook his head speechlessly, and was about to say something, when someone suddenly reported, "Governor, Donglai Lord Empress Sheng has arrived outside the camp, and is waiting for the commander to summon you."

"Hou Sheng?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, before saying, "Let him in."

It seemed that Hou Sheng had already made up his mind. As soon as he saw Li Mu, he said straight to the point: "General, please make arrangements for me. I want to go to Gaowan City to talk to Zhou Fen."

Li Mu's eyes widened in surprise: "Are you sure?"

Hou Sheng hesitated for a moment, then suddenly showed a flattering smile, and said, "Actually, I still want to ask the governor to give me advice."

"There is someone in the city who claims to be the winner?" When Zhou Fen in Gaowan City heard the news, he almost thought that his ears had made a mistake.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his ears, Zhou Fen immediately jumped up and said loudly: "Come on, hurry up and tie up this traitor!"

Soon, Hou Sheng who was tied up by five flowers appeared in front of Zhou Fen.

Although Hou Sheng looked quite embarrassed, he seemed to be in a good mood. After seeing Zhou Fen, he smiled at Zhou Fen and said, "Zhou Qing, it's been a long time since I've seen you again. Congratulations."

Zhou Fen looked at Hou Sheng with a straight face, expressionless: "Do you have any last words to say?"

For Hou Sheng, Zhou Fen really didn't have any good feelings for him.

In Zhou Fen's view, if it wasn't for Hou Sheng who misled Qi Wangjian many times during his tenure as Prime Minister and caused Qi to suffer heavy losses in foreign wars, Qi would not be so passive now. the point.

What's more, not long ago, Housheng surrendered to Zhao State with the last strength gathered from the [-] Qi State under his command, which directly led to the fact that Linzi was besieged.

Any one of these two things is enough to tear Hou Sheng apart, let alone two things happening to Hou Sheng at the same time.

In Zhou Fen's eyes, the current Hou Sheng is basically dead.

Hou Sheng didn't seem to have any panic or fear because of Zhou Fen's expression. Instead, he smiled at Zhou Fen and said, "Zhou Qing, I have a secret order from King Qi in my arms. Don't you want to see it?" Is this a secret order?"

As soon as Zhou Fen raised his hand, someone naturally found the secret order from Hou Sheng's arms and sent it to Zhou Fen.

Zhou Fen's expression changed a little when he found that the Yinshu in front of him had been developed.

Seeing this, Hou Sheng smiled and said, "Actually, I have successfully deciphered this Yin Talisman, which means"

"Shut up!" Zhou Fen sternly interrupted Hou Sheng, and then said to the soldiers escorting Hou Sheng, "You all go out and let General Kuang Liang come in."

Soon, the room was filled with Zhou Fen, Kuang Liang and Hou Sheng.

Kuang Liang stood behind Hou Sheng, with a knife on his waist. As long as he wanted, this knife could be unsheathed at any time to take Hou Sheng's head.

Hou Sheng didn't seem to feel any fear or fear because of this, but instead looked at Kuang Liang with a smile, and said hello to Kuang Liang.
