"Hmph~ So what if you are the Grand Master of the Mohist School? What are your true intentions in luring us here by all means?"
Chen Shi, however, remained fearless. Thanks to Wang Yue's recommendation, they were now officials of the imperial court, though not openly. But it was still much more respectable than before. Even if they were no match for them, they would not back down and ruin their reputation.
"I know you serve the imperial court, which is why I brought you here. I only wish to ask for your help, and whether it succeeds or not, I will be eternally grateful!"
Mo Shang spoke sincerely and had a kind face, seemingly without any malice.
"What is it?" Zhao Xian asked in a deep voice.
Mo Shang took out a letter from his pocket and smiled, "I would like you two to pass this letter on to your superior."
That's it?
“Not bad!” Mo Shang nodded and said, “You two can leave at any time.”
Zhao Xian and Chen Shi exchanged a glance. Chen Shi stepped forward and took Mo Shang's letter. The two then walked outside, and Mo Shang and the others did not stop them.
After the two left, Mo Shang looked at Mo Li and said, "You should go back too!"
"promise!"
"Your Excellency, are you really sure that letter can reach that young emperor?"

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "But our lineage once helped the previous dynasty. Will the Han emperor accept us?"
"Confucianism, Legalism, and the School of Military Strategy—which of them hasn't done things for the previous dynasty? Besides, the fact that the emperor established a medical school shows that he is a pragmatic person, sharing the same ideals as us."
Mo Shang smiled. They came from the Qin Mo lineage, and unlike those who talked a big game or wielded swords, they focused on getting things done.
Ever since Liu Hong issued the edict to establish a medical school, Mo Shang had keenly sensed the difference in this young emperor. He felt that the emperor did not seem to reject doctrines other than Confucianism, especially the medical school, which focused on practical matters.
Mo Shang had no ambition, nor did he want to promote "non-aggression and universal love." He only wanted his Mo family members to stand up upright and gain the world's recognition with the technology they had been studying for many years.
This is the expectation of Mo Shang, and also of the Qin Mo lineage.
