Chapter 212: Unpredictable Things in the World

Every move of a big shot will have a far-reaching impact without him even realizing it, even he himself may not have expected it.

In the stable, the water stains on the face of the Dayue envoy, who had just cleaned himself with clean water, had not yet dried when an official from Daqi walked over quickly.

"Hey, why do you live here?"

The Daqi official who came was dumbfounded and looked quite frightened. Then he became furious and said, "Who left you here? I will kill him!"

The Dayue messenger raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling suspicious.

The official in front of him was indeed unfamiliar, but wasn't he also an official of Daqi? It was as if the person who had humiliated him in the temple before didn't exist.

What tricks are you trying to play by putting on this show? "It doesn't matter where you live, it's just a place to stay. It's a pity that the people of Dayue are caught up in the war, and I don't know how many people can't even find a place to take shelter.

In comparison, isn't it a blessing to have a stable to shelter us from the wind and rain?"

Unable to figure out the other party's intentions, the Dayue envoy did not take the opportunity to delve into the matter. Instead, he mentioned the war as a test.

"You are right!"

The Daqi officials who came over nodded in agreement, "Under the flames of war, I don't know how many innocent people will be harmed. It is really against the harmony of nature. In the years of intense war, in fact, we have all reported this matter. If the other three countries were not determined to fight, how could Daqi be dragged into it and continue to this day? It is really a pity!"

"Um?"

The Great Moon messenger looked suspicious.

Are you kidding me? Isn’t Daqi the strongest among the four countries?

The other three kingdoms were also involved, and it was clear that Daqi contributed the most and had the biggest appetite! Why was he trying to shirk responsibility at this time?

"Fortunately, the emperor is wise. After you left, I thought about it a lot and felt very tired of the war, so I asked you to come over and discuss the matter of a ceasefire."

This is what the officials of Daqi said.

The Dayue messenger was terrified.

Is there such a good thing?!

This change is too fast!

For five whole days, he was left in the stable and no one cared about him, and suddenly someone was sent over to discuss a ceasefire?

This is like just killing someone and not even drawing the knife, but saying that one has realized the principle of becoming a Buddha instantly and wants to wipe the slate clean.

Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary! Thinking of the "Urgent Report from Dayue" he heard earlier, although he didn't understand what happened specifically, the Dayue envoy was very sure that something big must have happened on the battlefield of Dayue that he didn't know about yet.

Moreover, this matter is extremely beneficial to Otsuki, but it is a disaster for Oki, otherwise his attitude would not be so capricious.

But, what kind of big deal is it?

No matter how you look at it, Dayue has absolutely no chance of winning. How can a miracle happen when their national strength, soldiers, and even the number of masters are all crushed?

Could it be that a star fell from the sky at night again, destroying the four-nation coalition forces in one fell swoop?

This is a bit too fantastical and not believable enough.

The Dayue envoy had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't dare to act rashly without knowing the specific details. He could only rely on the reactions of the people of Daqi to make corresponding countermeasures.

"This is naturally a good thing. Wars cost a lot of money and manpower, and have created countless orphans and widows. If the war can be ended, it will be a blessing for both countries."

The Great Moon Messenger said so.

"Okay, okay."

The Daqi official was overjoyed and said, "Please move to the palace."

When returning to Daqi's palace once again, Dayue's envoy boldly looked at Daqi's officials.

It was discovered that the officials of Daqi, who had been so arrogant before, now had faces as gloomy as eggplants hit by frost.

When he first came here, he was often teased and mocked, but this time, facing his scrutiny, none of the Daqi officials scolded him. Some turned their heads away, and some even lowered their heads, as if they didn't dare to look him in the eye.

How strange!

Invisibly, the confidence in the heart of the Dayue messenger was increasing.

Being able to serve as a messenger, his ability to judge the situation is undoubtedly outstanding, and he can analyze many useful things just from the reactions of others.

Otsuki must have suddenly gained the upper hand in a direction he didn't know about.

Otherwise the transformation would never be so sudden and drastic!

Therefore, the Dayue envoy did not stand at the back of the officials as he did last time. Instead, he walked forward step by step and went straight to the front of all the civil and military officials of Daqi. He raised his head and looked at the emperor of Daqi for the first time.

Last time, he didn't even dare to look up.

He saw that the Emperor of Daqi was looking at him expressionlessly. No specific emotion could be seen in his eyes, but the other party's reaction undoubtedly gave him a shot in the arm.

You didn't have this attitude the last time you came here!

"Greetings, His Majesty."

The Dayue envoy was not too presumptuous. He just took a look and then lowered his head and saluted.

"No need for formalities. You are a guest from afar. The last time Daqi treated you poorly, it was immoral and not the right way to treat a guest. The officials who received you before have all been executed.

Come, please take a seat."

Emperor Daqi waved his hand, and immediately a guard came over carrying a chair.

The Dayue messenger was stunned for a moment.

What kind of treatment is this?!

Could it be that a star really fell from the sky at night and crushed all the four-nation coalition forces to death? You know, in the temple, except for the emperor who can sit on the dragon throne, all other ministers, no matter how powerful, have to stand to show respect to the emperor.

Of course, occasionally the emperor would be considerate of his ministers and send someone to offer them seats.

But what does the Daqi Emperor look like? What is his identity? None of the civil and military officials sat down, so he was left alone! The offensive and defensive situation is easy!

The Dayue messenger sat down without any hesitation, his back straight.

Don’t ask me why I’m so arrogant. I myself don’t know how Dayue suddenly became so powerful.

But it doesn’t matter. As an envoy going abroad, one must face various emergencies, and assessing the situation is a skill that must be mastered.

"I heard that you wanted to discuss the war again."

The Dayue envoy sat down and considered his words carefully. This time he did not even use the word "seek peace". He just wanted to test Daqi's true attitude.

Outward politeness is not true politeness. Only by giving up one's own interests can it be said that Otsuki has truly reversed the situation!

"War is harmful and has no benefit. Death and injury are inevitable in war. This is not what I wish for."

Emperor Daqi pondered for a moment and said, "What's more, I heard that there is a saint in Dayue who has been working hard for the people. After hearing this, I felt deeply ashamed and finally understood where the word 'morality' came from. I must withdraw my troops and stop the war."

"Um?!"

The Great Moon Messenger's eyes widened in surprise.

Just withdraw the troops and stop the war? Don't even want Yuzhou and Yangzhou? !

In just five days, this attitude has taken a sharp turn!

The hand hidden in the robe secretly pinched his thigh and it was quite painful.

Everything before my eyes is not just a dream, but is real!

He quickly thought about the content of Emperor Daqi's words and instantly extracted the points worthy of attention.

Saint, morality, retreat and stop the war! In Dayue, there is only one person who can be called a saint.

Moqiu!

Could it be that after Mo Qiu led 3,000 Mozhe to kill the commander of Daqing, he did something earth-shattering that forced Daqi to retreat? Endless joy filled his heart, and the Dayue envoy was almost overjoyed.

"Mo Qiu's name is well-known in Dayue, and he is praised by the people and regarded as a saint. His Mohist school is even more dedicated to eliminating violence and protecting the good, and educating the people, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary people."

The Great Moon messenger spoke without any hesitation.

Although Mo Qiu killed Emperor Zong Ming, what does that have to do with Emperor Kang Jing? Besides, he represents the interests of Dayue, not the previous emperor! Between countries, empty talk is always a mirage, and only strength is the focus of the confrontation! Since Emperor Daqi mentioned Mo Qiu, the sudden change in attitude must be related to Mo Qiu.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If he fails to grasp the key point, he would be a loser as an envoy, and all the humiliation and suffering he has endured would be in vain.

"Although there were some misunderstandings between Mozi and the late Emperor Dayue, Emperor Kang Jing also sighed that Mozi was a rare genius, a saint-like figure who could measure the morality of the world, and he deserved the title!"

The Dayue envoy stared closely at Emperor Daqi and said so.

"Yes, I also admire his virtues and want to emulate them. But I don't know where to start with Mozi's morality."

Emperor Daqi looked back with full concentration, and his hands holding the dragon throne tightened a little involuntarily.

All the civil and military officials could not help but listen attentively, and were quite nervous.

Although they all hoped that the "Mo Qiu's best friend" was a wax head with a silver spear, what if? If he was really invincible, then they would have to figure out what "the morality of the world" meant.

The problem is that although they had heard of the name Mo Qiu before, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Who can figure this out in such a short time? It would be better to call up Dayue's messenger and try to get his opinion than to guess randomly.

"The Mohist school has ten principles: universal love, non-aggression, advocating unity, advocating virtue, heaven's will, knowing ghosts, non-fatalism, non-music, frugality, and frugal burials. This is the core of the morality that Mozi summarized. If I want to talk about it in detail, I'm afraid I can't finish it in a short time."

The Great Moon Messenger said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of someone writing.

Next to Emperor Daqi, a man who looked like a eunuch was seen writing something very quickly, which was probably the Ten Principles of Mohism that he mentioned.

All these changes here have undoubtedly been confirmed. The change in Daqi's attitude must be related to Moqiu, and it is a huge connection!

But Emperor Daqi's next words made him hesitate again.

"Such a saint must have made friends with many people. Is there anyone who impressed you?"

Emperor Daqi asked again.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the civil and military officials widened involuntarily, not daring to even blink.

Here it comes!

This is the real key.

What kind of relationship does the guy who calls himself "Mo Qiu's best friend" have with Mo Qiu that he actually possesses such great power !

The Dayue messenger hesitated for a moment.

There were many people around Mo Qiu, and there were thousands of Mo Zhe alone! But under the brilliance of Mo Qiu, the brilliance of those people was overshadowed.

The stars do have light, but they will inevitably appear dim under the brilliance of the sun.

The only thing the world is paying attention to is the sun.

The same is true of Mohism.

"No?"

Emperor Daqi urged impatiently.

"Yes, of course."

The Dayue messenger thought about it and thought of the person who had caused a brief sensation in a small circle when Mo Qiu killed the emperor.

It’s only because the royal family chose to suppress the news so that it was not known to outsiders.

Moreover, the other party was too quiet and had not made any moves over the years, and had been forgotten by others.

But Mo Qiu lived there for many years!

If this is said that the relationship is not good, who would believe it? A friend of a true dragon must also be a true dragon! "I would like to hear the details."

Emperor Daqi found himself a little nervous.

The guy who claimed to be Mo Qiu's best friend brought him too much pressure.

"Mozi once lived in a small courtyard for a very long time, and after leaving that courtyard, he founded the Mohist School."

The Dayue messenger said slowly, "Later, due to some disagreements between Mozi and the late emperor, some misunderstandings occurred. The owner of that courtyard showed his strength for the first time, and he was actually a master! But he didn't like fame and fortune, and he didn't show off in front of others. Except for Moqiu, almost no one knew about it. He just quietly cured diseases and saved lives, unknown to the outside world."

Emperor Daqi was moved. There were not so many Grandmasters. Since Mo Qiu could stay in that small courtyard, he must have discovered the difference of the other party! As for the Grandmaster's strength displayed, there are two possibilities.

One possibility is that the opponent had not yet surpassed the Grandmaster at that time, and the other possibility is that the enemy was too weak and the Grandmaster's strength was enough to solve the problem!

He was certain that the guy who called himself "Mo Qiu's best friend" was the owner of the small courtyard! "What's his name? What's his history? What's his hobbies? What's his personality like? What has he been doing these years?"

Emperor Daqi kept asking questions, and his impatience was obvious. Anyone could tell that something was wrong.

But at this time, no one paid attention to these anymore.

Civil and military officials were more anxious than he was. They wished they could crack open the head of the Dayue messenger and dig out the information hidden inside.

After all, that matter directly concerns the fate of the country of Daqi!

If you don't understand what "morality in the world" means, you have to consider the law of the jungle!

Since the other party dared to let Bai Xundao come first to tip off the enemy, it was, on the one hand, to give them a warning, and on the other hand, it also demonstrated his own confidence.

I'm telling you that I'm coming to deal with you. If you want to fight me, you can prepare in advance! The pressure brought by this unparalleled self-confidence can be imagined!

The Dayue envoy had also understood at this time that the person that the Daqi Emperor was really concerned about was not Mo Qiu, who was the first to ask, but the people related to Mo Qiu! "I have never paid special attention to these questions of yours, so I'm sorry that I can't answer them for you."

The Great Moon Envoy shook his head and added: "But I still remember his name."

"What's his name?"

"Gu Dan."
