The Black Ice Guard, originating from the book "The Qin Empire" by Sun Haohui, is a fictional spy organization.
However, many people in later generations believed that the Black Ice Platform was real. But Lu Li only learned after arriving in the Warring States period that the Qin state never had such an organization as the Black Ice Platform.
Guiguzi was immediately taken aback, his eyes flickered, and his expression revealed confusion.
Because in this era, although assassins and spies exist, Lu Li's thinking is a bit too narrow.
With Lu Li's current abilities, he could easily serve as a strategist, commander, or even prime minister. However, he chose this particular path, which Guiguzi found difficult to accept at first.
"You brat, do you even know that this is a trivial matter?"
Lu Li sensed something amiss in Guiguzi's tone and quickly said, "Master, I ask you, what is the lesser path in this world? What is the greater path?"
"I believe that doing something to the extreme is the Great Way!"
For a moment, Guiguzi was speechless and unable to refute Lu Li's rebuttal.
"you......"
Lu Li pressed on, saying, "The organization I've established will have spies throughout the six kingdoms. Don't armies need spies for fighting?"
Assassination and espionage are things that are despised by all schools of thought, so Guiguzi had to gradually come to understand and accept them.
But Lu Li knew that there would be many such organizations in later generations. Every ruler was inseparable from these organizations.
Moreover, Ying Zheng has been under Qin control for three years, and King Ying Zhu of Qin has already passed away. The current king of Qin is Ying Zichu, also known as Ying Yiren.
However, Lu Li knew that Ying Zichu was also nearing his end. Ying Zichu fared slightly better than his father, having reigned as King of Qin for three years before his death. And now it was already the third year, so if history followed its course, Ying Zichu would die this year.
Then Ying Zheng ascended the throne, which presented an opportunity for Lu Li.
"Hey, you brat, you've got too big for your britches now. I can't control you anymore. Go ahead and do whatever you want!"
Guiguzi was somewhat helpless, but he did not oppose Lu Li. The Guigu lineage was very inclusive. I may not understand you, but I will not oppose you if you do something.
"Master, rest assured, I will never let my Ghost Valley lineage be disgraced!"
However, Guiguzi also knew that while it was easy to say that spies were spread throughout the six states, it would be extremely difficult to actually implement such a plan. First and foremost, it would require the consent and support of the rulers.
If even the monarch doesn't support him, then all of Lu Li's ideas are just empty talk.
However, Lu Li was very confident because he trusted Ying Zheng's judgment. He was a great emperor throughout history, even though he was only thirteen years old.
According to historical records, after Ying Zheng ascended the throne, Lü Buwei became the prime minister of Qin, enjoying unparalleled power, and Ying Zheng never had the opportunity to rule personally.
It wasn't until Ying Zheng was twenty-two years old that the rebellion of Lao Ai implicated Lü Buwei, giving Ying Zheng the opportunity to suppress Lü Buwei, thus allowing him to assume personal rule and become the true king of Qin.
"The current king of Qin, though courageous, lacks a certain boldness," Guiguzi said.
Ying Zichu was more than capable of being a ruler who defended a city, even surpassing many emperors of later generations, but he lacked the ambition to achieve unification.
"Master, the one I value is not Ying Zichu, but Ying Zheng!"
Guiguzi looked at Lu Li with a puzzled expression. He had heard of Ying Zheng before; he had been a hostage in Zhao for many years. However, he couldn't understand why Lu Li held this man in such high regard!
He didn't know, but Lu Li did. Ying Zheng was the first emperor in Chinese history to unify the world! History was rewritten because of him.
Legend has it that King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Ying Ji, dreamt of his great-grandson whom he had never met, and then summoned the Grand Diviner to interpret the dream. The Grand Diviner said that the dream was extremely auspicious, and the celestial phenomena also indicated great fortune. The combination of these two signs foretells that the person who will unite the world will be a descendant of the Ying family.
At this point, Ying Ji thought of Ying Zheng, his great-grandson, who was still a hostage in Zhao! So, before his death, Ying Ji ordered that Ying Zheng return to the country.
However, after Ying Zheng returned to the country, he was greatly favored by King Ying Zhu of Qin at the time, but was disliked by Queen Huayang, who believed that Ying Zheng's return threatened the position of another prince, Cheng Jiao.
She repeatedly targeted Ying Zheng, even nearly killing him, but Ying Zichu still appointed him as King of Qin. In the end, Lady Huayang compromised, and Ying Zheng began his extraordinary life.
However, what Lu Li needs to do now is to build momentum! Through these three years of experience, he has learned a lot. Not only do you need to have the ability, but you also need to be recommended by others.
If no one recommends him, there is only one way left: to create momentum and make Ying Zheng come to him in person.
"What do you plan to do?" Guiguzi asked.
If you want to build a black ice platform, you need to prepare in advance.
"Master, I remember the Hundred Schools Conference is next year, right?" Lu Li asked.
The Hundred Schools Conference is held once every four years. At that time, people from all schools of thought will gather to debate the general trend of the world, and that is the time to make a name for oneself.
"You want to use the Hundred Schools Conference to your advantage?" Guiguzi asked.
Lu Li nodded. The Hundred Schools Conference was a springboard for him and the best opportunity to build momentum.
But what Lu Li needs to do right now is prepare for the creation of the Black Ice Platform. Now that he has the support of the Ghost Valley lineage, he feels even more confident.
“However, I want to select some orphans in the next few days and start teaching them martial arts! Do we have any junior brothers in the mountains who are particularly skilled in martial arts?” Lu Li asked curiously.
Because Lu Li knew Guiguzi's strength, he assumed that there must be experts in the Guigu lineage.
Guiguzi stroked his beard and laughed, "Of course we do! The internal energy cultivation method of my Guigu lineage is considered one of the best in the world!"
