Seeing Mozi's bitter expression, the Grand Master asked again, "Then what do we do now?"
Now that he understands the strength of the Qin Dynasty, he naturally no longer thinks about being an enemy of the Qin Dynasty.
Given the unparalleled military strength of that empire, the consideration should be not to become enemies but to become friends, and to become friends sooner rather than later. If we wait until the strength of the Qin Dynasty is fully exposed before submitting, then there is no point.
On this point, the Grand Master had to admit that the old Confucian scholar did a better job than them.
Mozi's gaze darkened slightly, as if he were pondering something.
After a moment, he suddenly said, "Perhaps there is still a chance."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Master's expression shifted slightly. "There's still a chance?"
Mozi said, "Recently, the compass detected several unusual auras in Xianyang. They don't seem to be righteous people. I'm afraid they have ill intentions."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Master frowned. "You mean these auras are coming towards the Great Qin?"
After all, it appeared in Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty and the residence of the royal family, not in any other region.
Mozi nodded slightly. "If that's the case, we should prepare early. If we can help Qin and show our loyalty, then we might have no choice but to submit."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Master's expression turned serious. "You're right, we must prepare well, we really must prepare well!"
He took this matter very seriously, after all, the Qin Dynasty was now so powerful that those who obeyed it prospered and those who opposed it perished.

Ying Zheng and his entourage traveled all the way and finally arrived at the imperial city. As soon as they entered the palace gate, they saw a group of people waiting in front of them.
Leading the group was Consort Shu, who was holding the baby in her arms, followed by several maids.
Wang Jian was quite surprised to see this. "Your Majesty knew about your return so quickly and was already waiting here."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng lifted the curtain and glanced ahead. Seeing Consort Shu and the little one standing there, his gaze softened. "They really mean it."
When Ying Zheng approached, Consort Shu gave a slight curtsy and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you!"
The little guy waved excitedly, "Dad!"
Ying Zheng stepped down from the carriage and looked at the little one with a happy expression, "Yu'er! Did you miss your father?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the little guy.
The little guy nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I've missed you so much while Dad's been away. I've been looking forward to your return!"
Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly. "Is that so?"
That's what the kid says, but he might not really think that way.
I remember that whenever this kid did this before, it was either because he had his eye on a certain gift or because he wanted to eat something.
However, this kid always spoke so sincerely that if Ying Zheng hadn't been able to hear his true feelings, he would have actually believed him.
I thought this kid would complain about something again, but this time his inner thoughts didn't come out.
"Yes, I really miss Dad!"
The little guy had a smile on his face, his big eyes looking at Ying Zheng with innocence.
Consort Shu also said, "Yu'er really misses Your Majesty. Every day she asks me when you will return. Today, Your Majesty has finally returned."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng suddenly stopped and stood more than ten steps away from the little guy.
Upon seeing this, Wang Jian, who was following behind Ying Zheng, was also taken aback and looked at Ying Zheng with great confusion, wondering what was going on.
But when Ying Zheng stopped, he dared not advance any further, and could only stand behind Ying Zheng, asking, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Ying Zheng did not answer, but instead carefully examined Consort Shu and the little one.
Consort Shu was as beautiful and charming as ever, with a gentle smile on her face that gave people a feeling of warmth and comfort.
The little one is still quite small, with a pair of big, bright eyes that are very expressive, just like a porcelain doll, making him very lovable.
Ying Zheng looked at the little one and asked again, "Yu'er, do you really miss me?"
The little guy looked quite puzzled by Ying Zheng's strange reaction, but when Ying Zheng asked, he replied seriously, "Father, what are you saying? How could I not miss you when you went out on that horse?"
Ying Zheng's eyes darkened, as if he were pondering something.
Just like before, no one heard anything from the little one.
A moment later, he suddenly raised his head, staring intently at the little one, "You are not Yu'er!"
Wang Jian's expression changed, and he looked at Ying Zheng with a puzzled expression.
No matter how he looked at it, the person in front of him was clearly the young master.
The physique, the appearance, even the voice and tone of voice were exactly the same, but now Ying Zheng said that it was not Ying Ziyu, which naturally left Wang Jian completely baffled.
The little guy's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Ying Zheng with a puzzled expression, "Father, what are you talking about?"
Consort Shu also looked at Ying Zheng with a puzzled expression, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Why isn't Yu'er Yu'er anymore?"
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Yu'er would never sincerely say she misses me like that."
"Unless I have gold."
"Or give him a chicken leg."
He knew the little guy very well; when the boy wanted a gift, he would call him "Dear Daddy" over and over again, and he especially loved gold and chicken legs.
But this is the first time such a situation has occurred, and from the beginning until now, Ying Zheng has not heard a single word of the little guy's thoughts.
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. If he had come back empty-handed like this before, without preparing any gifts for the little guy, the boy would probably have already started complaining.
He even rolled his eyes to the sky.
But the little guy in front of me looked completely sincere, like a well-behaved son, which was not the kind of reaction a little guy should have.
Upon hearing this, both the little boy and Consort Shu froze, staring at Ying Zheng with shock in their eyes.
Ying Zheng's voice was slightly cold, "Who exactly are you people, daring to impersonate princes?"
Upon hearing this and seeing Ying Zheng's resolute expression, Wang Jian no longer hesitated. He moved swiftly, positioned himself in front of Ying Zheng, and raised his spear, aiming it at the little guy.
His aura surged around him, revealing his extraordinary nature. His gaze was fixed intently on the two of them, his eyes filled with a look of readiness to strike.
Since this is His Majesty's judgment, even if it is wrong, he will believe it.
Upon hearing this, the little guy's face suddenly turned cold, his previous innocence vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely cold expression, "I really underestimated you!"
Consort Shu's expression also turned cold. "This guy is more troublesome than I imagined!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jian's eyes darkened, and he swung his spear sharply at the two of them, unleashing a powerful force that swept down like a mountain.
A violent aura exploded instantly, sweeping straight towards the little guy and his group.
As the aura drew near, the little guy and Consort Shu suddenly began to surge with yin energy, swirling around them and finally forming a barrier in front of them, blocking the violent aura.
The palace maids following behind him were repelled by the aura that spread out, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating into the air.
As the yin energy emerged, the little guy's body began to change, his small body swelled up, and he eventually became the height of an adult.
It was none other than the Soul Reaper they had met before.
Meanwhile, Consort Shu's figure began to change. Her slender figure was gone, replaced by a burly minotaur, holding a giant axe in her hand, her eyes flashing red, and a sinister aura flowing around her.
