At the end of the Warring States period, he studied under Guiguzi, practiced the strategy of alliances and confederacies, established the Black Ice Platform, and helped Ying Zheng sweep across the ...
Lu Li remembered that Wei Zhuang had saved him, and it seemed that he had come to become Wei Zhuang's disciple.
In Lu Li's memory, Wei Zhuang was a fictional character. He never imagined that such a person actually existed in history.
"He wanted to become my disciple, and considering he saved you, I accepted him as an outer disciple," Guiguzi said casually.
Upon hearing Guiguzi's words, Lu Li felt a warmth in his heart.
Guiguzi's cultivation and love for him were like that of a father.
"Thank you, Master."
Guiguzi was taken aback, then flicked his sleeves and roared, "I will definitely get to the bottom of this assassination attempt!"
Being assassinated just before reaching Yunmeng Mountain is tantamount to being attacked on one's own doorstep by Guiguzi.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Lu Li had regained his senses.
"I have a pretty good idea of who did it."
The fact that they knew their route and even sent more than fifty assassins clearly shows that they knew Lu Li's background.
Lu Li couldn't handle fifty assassins; if there were even fewer, they wouldn't have been able to kill him.
Therefore, this person is definitely the mole!
"When Cangwu was carrying me, we ran into Jian Chen on the way," Guiguzi said calmly.
Lu Li took a deep breath, glanced at Guiguzi, and slowly said, "We definitely have someone on our side involved, but it's definitely not Senior Brother Jian Chen."
"Oh? Why?" Guiguzi asked.
“Senior Brother Jian Chen has fought against Cangwu before, and he knows how powerful Cangwu is. If it were him, there wouldn’t be fifty assassins.”
Guiguzi naturally thought of Lu Li's conjecture.
“First of all, it’s impossible for us to train that many assassins ourselves,” Lu Li continued.
"Secondly, only the princes and nobles of the seven kingdoms would train so many assassins, but I have not offended them."
Lu Li fell into deep thought. Who could possibly harbor such hatred for him and want to kill him?
“Master, I think it should be someone from one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, such as Mohism or Confucianism.”
Lu Li expressed his thoughts. During the Hundred Schools Conference, in order to make a name for himself, Lu Li personally stated his ambition: to help a country unify the world.
At present, only the Qin state has the strength to unify the world.
When he encountered the assassins, he originally intended to spare their lives, but due to Cangwu's rampage, he killed everyone.
The Hundred Schools of Thought are connected to the princes and nobles of the other seven kingdoms, so it is not impossible for them to join forces.
Of course, the Qin state cannot be excluded either, since the Legalists couldn't possibly be unaware that Ying Zheng had come to see them.
Zhang Yi's arrival almost shook the Legalist school's position in the Qin state, but it was ultimately short-lived.
But Lu Li now knows for sure who the mole is.
This logic is easy to grasp: if Lu Li really dies, who benefits the most?
Moreover, among the outer disciples of the Ghost Valley lineage, those who understand Lu Li's martial arts can be counted on one hand, but only Jian Chen knows that Cangwu is a Taoist soldier.
"Master, what would you do if our own family members got involved?" Lu Li asked tentatively.
The Guigu lineage is notoriously protective of its own, as evidenced by the old man Guiguzi himself.
Although they were outer disciples, Guiguzi taught them everything he knew, but none of them were exceptionally talented.
Guiguzi seemed to have guessed what Lu Li was about to say, and he sighed and said, "If there really is someone from the Guigu lineage, I will not let him off lightly!"
“I understand, Master. I will find the evidence.”
Before having absolute evidence, Lu Li only had suspicions and did not tell Guiguzi his conjectures.
"I'll be visiting the medical family tomorrow. For the time being, I'll be entrusting the mountain gate to you," Guiguzi said calmly.
Lu Li knew that he was telling him to let him investigate freely, and that he was also expressing his attitude that he would not tolerate anyone once he found out who it was.
However, the most important thing is to have a doctor examine Lu Li's body.
In just eight days, his injuries miraculously healed without any trace of injury, which made Guiguzi very uneasy.
However, Lu Li did not feel any discomfort at all. In fact, he felt full of energy, and even his internal energy circulation was much smoother than before.
It is indeed a strange thing, but it is not necessarily a bad thing.
"Master, I'm really fine now."
Guiguzi waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough. I'll head back now."
After saying that, Guiguzi left Lu Li's room.
Lu Li arrived at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain; he was there to find Wei Zhuang.
After all, they saved his life just eight days ago, so he should still express his gratitude.
However, when he arrived at the foot of the mountain where the outer disciples lived, he sensed two extremely powerful pressure forces from afar.
As he approached, he discovered that Wei Zhuang and Jian Chen were standing facing each other, swords drawn.
The outer disciples surrounded the two of them in layers.
Upon seeing Lu Li arrive, they all cupped their hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"
Lu Li returned the greeting with a bow, but his gaze remained fixed on the two of them.
"Are they having a martial arts contest?" Lu Li asked curiously.
A disciple from the outer sect explained, "Yes, Senior Brother, they've been fighting for eight days!"
"Ever since Wei Zhuang arrived, he has been sparring with Senior Brother Jian Chen every day."
Good heavens!
