Chapter 193 Network

Xinzheng, Mohist Guild Hall.

After Zilanxuan moved to Xianyang, this huge song and dance studio in Xinzheng suddenly became deserted.

Many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries wanted to buy this song and dance hall, but in the end, it fell into the hands of Zhao Shuang.

In the hall that was once full of guests, there are now hundreds of Mohist disciples. The huge singing stage has been demolished and replaced by a lecture platform.

As a singing and dancing studio, the structure of Zilanxuan is very reasonable. But as a stronghold of the Mo family, it is not suitable.

After the Mohist disciples took over, they modified the building and divided it into areas - carpentry room, kitchen, weapons depot, disciple living room, and military training platform. Zilanxuan is very large, and hundreds of people can live there every day without any problem.

Especially for Mohist disciples, there is no need for the spacious and luxurious private rooms that Zilanxuan used to entertain guests. A Datongbu can often accommodate ten or even dozens of people.

The house built next to the water is separated by a whole hollow wall. From the window lattice, you can see the quiet and vast lake behind Zilanxuan.

Under the sunshine, the afternoon in Xinzheng is so peaceful.

Zhao Shuang, carrying the lake water on his back, knelt down and sat behind the briefcase, with fragrant tea placed on the table.

What Zhao Shuang didn't expect was that when he came to Xinzheng and entered the Mohist guild hall, the first guest he saw was Hou Bai Yifei in blood.

"A place where singing and dancing are peaceful, and there is such an elegant and peaceful place, which shows the magnanimity of its owner."

Bai Yifei looked at Zhao Shuang, and his words were like old friends reminiscing about old times and chatting at home.

"Many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Just like the rebellion that occurred in Tunliu, who would have thought that South Korea would gain a lot from it."

The land of Qin State is vast, but the most core place is Guanzhong. The rest are mostly mountains and barren lands.

Although South Korea is small, it is located in the Central Plains, the richest land in the world. In this place, getting dozens of miles of land will bring far more benefits than getting hundreds of miles of land in Bashu.

Because in these dozens of miles of land, there may be several cities and tens of thousands of people. And in the land of hundreds of miles in Bashu, sometimes you may not even see a city.

"Then how much profit did Lord Hanyang of Qin make from it?"

Bai Yifei did not mince words and spoke honestly.

"Bainiao once spied on a large stronghold of the Mo family in Han Yangjun's territory, but the spy did not come back. Behind the rapid expansion of the Mo family, a large amount of funds is needed. Commander, many people are very curious about this."

"Doesn't the package include Mr. Hou?"

Bai Yifei looked at Zhao Shuang who was wearing a mask and chuckled. He didn't touch the tea on the table, not because he was afraid of being poisoned by Zhao Shuang, but because he couldn't get used to drinking it.

"Acquiring other people's secrets can gain the huge value hidden behind the secret, but at the same time you will also bear the corresponding price. If you can't bear the cost, then obtaining the secret is not worth it."

"Measuring value and cost has always been an eternal proposition. Just like the six countries of Shandong, which occupy the rich land of the Central Plains, they are in danger under the attack of the Qin State. But it is precisely because of this that small countries like South Korea are at the forefront of the world. Among them, he can still influence the situation of the world."

Zhao Shuang spoke slowly, a gust of wind blew into the room, and the fragrance of tea floated gently.

"indeed!"

After hearing Zhao Shuang's words, Bai Yifei smiled.

"Although South Korea is small, it is not weak. Serving Qin can open a road to the Central Plains for strengthening Qin. Chao Chu can become a screen for the powerful Chu to march into Nanjun. If it unites with the three Jins, all countries will be frightened. South Korea is of great significance to all countries in the world."

Speaking of this, Bai Yifei's tone was a little cold, with a cruel smile on his face.

"It's just that, while benefiting from the world, it also suffers from the harm of the world. South Korea benefits all countries in the world, except for itself. Over the past hundred years, it has gradually withered like a flower. All that’s left to do is squeeze out as much value as possible from it.”

Zhao Shuang smiled and looked at Bai Yifei, who was also looking at him.

"What Mr. Hou said is a bit treacherous."

"If you are treasonous, I have said it more than once."

"It's not like the Marquis to have such a candid relationship with an unknown person."

Bai Yifei didn't care.

"There is no third pair of ears here. Even if today's conversation is leaked, who will believe it? I think the commander-in-chief should be a fellow traveler."

"What does the Marquis mean?"

"I heard that the Nong family once drew a clear line with the Mo family and said that the affairs of the world belong to each other. Then Ye Mu can also draw a clear line with the Mo family like the Nong family."

"I thought Ye Mu would compete with the Mo family, but I didn't expect the Marquis to want peace talks?"

"Ye Mu is indeed greedy, but greed that cannot stay awake is of no benefit. If it were just Li Kai and a hundred Mo Xia, then although it would take some effort to deal with it, it would not require breaking the bones. But the situation is different now. "

"Ye Mu does not need to make wedding clothes for others; the commander-in-chief's ambition is not limited to Xinzheng."

In the current situation, it would be extremely unwise for the Yemu family to compete with the Mo family. Even if the night falls on the court and finally removes the power of the Mohist family, their vitality will be severely damaged.

Night must rely on South Korea to gain strong vitality.

"The prince has just succeeded to the throne, and the night is the time to expand. There is no need to spend a lot of energy with the Mo family. You and I will both lose in the fight, and the only ones laughing behind the scenes will be the noble families of Korea, the Yin Yang family, and Luo Wang."

For Bai Yifei, the leader of the Mohist family was an opponent who could kill him. If the opponent's forces cannot be excluded from South Korea at the beginning of the war, then the remaining confrontation will become a long protracted war.

Maybe Ye Mu and the Mo family will be hostile sooner or later, and even fight to the death, but now is not the time. Nightfall has no reinforcements and is not strong enough on its own.

More importantly, the leader of the Mo family may not want to compete with Ye Mu now.

"Then there's only one thing left!"

Bai Yifei looked at Zhao Shuang with sharp eyes and asked.

"What do you want to gain in South Korea? Can Ye Mu afford the price?"

"Twenty Mohist strongholds."

Zhao Shuang said it calmly.

There was a hint of surprise on Bai Yifei's face. The Mohist stronghold has secret contact points, as well as places for overt exchanges, exchanges, and discussions, such as this Mohist guild hall.

But what Zhao Shuang said was obviously not the two. As for the former, there was no need for Zhao Shuang to tell him, and the Mo family's secret contact point would not be told to Ye Mu. As for the latter, even if Ye Mu disagreed, the Mohist Guild Hall was still built.

Zhao Shuang took out a piece of silk cloth from his sleeve, which showed the locations of the twenty Mo family strongholds.

Bai Yifei glanced at it and narrowed his eyes.

These strongholds include fishing ports, cottages, workshops, horse gardens, as well as fortresses, pavilions and even a small city near major transportation routes.

The important thing is that although each of these strongholds is inconspicuous, if these strongholds are connected, a network will be formed in South Korea.

This network is enough to project the power of the Mohist family to distant places, and it is also enough for the Mohist family to take root in South Korea.

"The Commander-in-Chief's appetite is too great!"

Even with Ye Mu's strong financial resources, such a large expenditure is still expensive.

"If he doesn't give it, I can take it myself."

Zhao Shuang smiled calmly and looked at Bai Yifei. The other party clenched the tea cup in his hand, with an unpredictable expression on his face.
