Yunmeng Mountain lies across the north bank of the Yellow River going east. There are towering mountains, mountain peaks, lush forests, and mist-shrouded clouds. This place was created by heaven for those who are determined to cultivate the Qing Dynasty. It is a place where people can dine in the clouds, drink in the scenery, quietly observe nature, and understand Taoism and practice.

The most exquisite pleasure in the world.

It was a summer afternoon, the weather was very sultry, low clouds clung to the peaks of Yunmeng Mountain, and heavy, wet mist blew in the dense woods.

Three men in white gowns were walking with their heads down. They wiped the sweat from their faces, dug up the weeds in the forest, and climbed up the mountain along a trail.

The one at the head was 26 or 7 years old, tall and thin, with a heroic look in his brows; the one who followed him was 24 or 5 years old, with a slightly stout figure, a square face and a majestic air.

The one at the back is a fifteen or six-year-old boy, with a medium build, a delicate face, sharp features, and a handsome temperament.

The mountain road was very rugged, and the three of them were exhausted as they walked one step deeper than the other. Suddenly, the man walking in the front let out a soft cry and stopped, and the two people behind him quickly followed. It turned out that there was someone in front of him.

A relatively open space covered with green grass.

The man in front saw the grass, walked to the middle, and sat down. The young man with a Chinese character also walked over and sat down next to him.

On the other hand, the younger boy was quite alert. He walked up to the two of them and did not sit down immediately. He urged them: "Brothers, a heavy rain is coming. It's important for us to hurry up."

The tall man glanced at him and replied breathlessly: "Of course I want to rush back as soon as possible. Who wants to stay in this deep mountain and old forest! But I can't walk anymore. Let's take a rest here and take a breath.

Let’s go.”

The young man with the Chinese character's face also nodded frequently, and the two simply lay down on the grass. The young man had no choice but to let them go, and he had no choice but to lift his clothes and sit down. At this time, a cool breeze blew slightly, and the three of them took this opportunity to adjust.

breathe.

When the three of them were resting peacefully, they heard a whistling sound in the forest - "The wind is rising". The sound was very sharp, like the harsh and sharp sound left by strong wind passing through the treetops.

Following the whistling sound, thirteen men dressed in black flashed out from behind the surrounding trees. Each of them was seen holding a bronze sword. The sword body was shorter than the common iron sword, but the blade was much wider.

, the sword shone coldly in the gloomy sky. Without saying a word, they pressed towards the three of them.

When the three of them saw this scene, they were really frightened and stood up one after another. The tall man asked nervously: "Who is coming and what are you going to do?"

Walking at the front of the crowd in black was a short and thin man, with a fierce look on his withered face, and he said word by word:

"We are from the State of Qin. I am Gao Sheng, the twelfth generation of the Xitu Mohist family. I am here this time and would like to invite Mr. Guigu and his disciples to accompany us to the State of Qin."

The three people who were surrounded on the grass were even more surprised after hearing this. The other party was obviously well prepared and knew their details very well. It seemed that they were not just thieves blocking the way.

It turned out that two of these three people were disciples of Mr. Guigu. The tall man was named Su Qin, and the young man with the Chinese character face was named Zhang Yi.

The slightly immature young man was Su Qin's cousin Su Dai. He lost his father when he was young. Su Qin took him with him and lived with them by the Qingxi River in Yunmeng Mountain.

Mr. Guigu lived in seclusion in Yunmeng Mountain, at the Guhua Pavilion on the bank of the Qingxi River. He had been studying scriptures in seclusion for the past three days. The three of them lost their temper and went down the mountain to hang out in the market town without telling Mr. Guigu. They were about to rush back to Guhua today.

Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by men in black halfway through the pavilion.

The three of them didn't have any weapons in their hands. They saw that if they didn't obey the other party's request, they would suffer big losses. However, the other party was so arrogant and rude, how could they give in easily. The three Su brothers and Zhang Yi looked at each other, and when they exchanged glances,

Quickly stand in a circle to form an outward triangle.

The three of them whispered a few words, and Su Qin suggested that the three of them attack together, and whoever can escape first should go back and report the news to the master, so that the master will not encounter a sudden disaster.

Zhang Yi and Su Dai nodded in agreement. In times of crisis, they were determined to give priority to protecting their elderly master.

The plan was decided, Su Qin said loudly: "It turns out that it is Mr. Gao Sheng, a great son of the Western Mohist family, whose name has been admired for a long time. We have no dealings with the Western Mohist family. Should we discuss it peacefully? Why did we ambush him halfway?"

The short, thin man in black named Gao Sheng snorted coldly when he heard Su Qin's words of "peaceful discussion".

He replied to Su Qin: "The King of Qin admires Mr. Gui Gu and his disciples very much. I heard that you have been concentrating on the art of vertical and horizontal in recent years and have improved your skills. I am afraid that the news will be leaked by inviting you so kindly, so I took this step."

Gao Sheng spoke and his hands were not idle. He raised the sword in his hand. In response to this action, the crowd in black stepped forward steadily, and the encirclement shrank smaller and smaller.

"If you all cooperate and agree happily, the State of Qin will treat you as honored guests, and you will be rich and wealthy." Gao Sheng distracted Su Qin and others' attention with words, and approached Su Qin and others.

Gao Sheng led twelve Western Mohist disciples this time to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Mr. Guigu and his disciples under the orders of Lord Qin Yingsi, and bring them back to Qin.

In the middle and late Warring States period, after Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State became stronger than the princes, its territory continued to expand, and it had the potential to annex neighboring countries. In order to protect themselves, the eastern princes exchanged news, concluded treaties and alliances, and formed alliances.

Signs of resistance to Qin.

Mr. Guigu studied the art of combining vertical and horizontal in his later years. If the eastern princes take advantage of it and use the strategy of combining vertical to unite to deal with Qin, Qin's hegemony will be defeated. On the contrary, if Qin can master the art of vertical and horizontal as soon as possible and use the strategy of connecting horizontal.

If you make peace alone, you will defeat the princes one by one and achieve hegemony.

Gao Sheng and others had been out for more than a month. After searching in many places, they finally found Mr. Guigu's whereabouts. One day they came to the foot of Yunmeng Mountain and were looking for a way to enter the mountain. Fortunately, they found Su Qin and others in a market town at the foot of the mountain.

The white shirts of the three of them were so eye-catching in the market town. It was obvious at a glance that they were not local farmers. The Mohist disciples quickly reported the news to the leader. Gao Sheng was overjoyed. The troops were divided into three groups, taking the lead alternately, closely following the three.

people.

Stalking is the specialty of the Mohist family, so Su Qin and others were stared at by men in black along the way, and they wandered around without noticing.

Gao Sheng originally planned to follow the three of them home and capture Mr. Gui Gu and his apprentice in one fell swoop. However, Su Qin and others took a break midway and could not move for a while.

Gao Sheng was worried that he would be exposed behind the forest for a long time, so he alerted his disciples and reported the news to Guiguzi. He thought: "It would be a good move to capture the disciples first, and then threaten Guiguzi to submit." So he ordered the Mohist disciples to take advantage of the opportunity.

Surrounded Su Qin and the three men and subdued them in one fell swoop.

At this time, Su Qin and others were already fish in the net. Gao Sheng was overjoyed. He used his words to stabilize Su Qin and others and approached step by step.

Su Qin frowned slightly. Listening to Gao Sheng's explanation, his mind was spinning rapidly, guessing Gao Sheng's plan. He tried again and said: "We are here in Yunmeng Mountain all day long, and we don't care about fighting in the world! Please ask Mr. Gao Sheng to go back.

Tell Qin Jun Yingsi, thank him for his kindness, and please forgive us for not obeying his order."

Gao Sheng raised his sword high and urged his men and horses forward. He thought to himself: "The encirclement has been completed. If you still want to obey my orders, it will be too late."

He sneered and said, "Just be obedient and obedient. If you don't, then we will have no choice but to take action."
