Chapter 535: Old Man Ban, what kind of person do you think Jun Shang is?
"Very strong!"

Tianxuan's attention was attracted by this chariot, which could be regarded as an ancient version of a tank. His black and bright jade eyes flashed with ambiguous colors, and he spoke after a long time.

"A chariot like this is enough to defeat a hundred enemies with one!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Gongshu Chou was very happy and said proudly to receive the praise from Tianxuan, a professional.

This chariot was the product of Gongshu Chou's research on the supreme weapon of Mohism: non-attack. He absorbed some of the essence of Mohist non-attack mechanical techniques from non-attack and integrated it with Gongshu Chou's domineering mechanical techniques.

"Gongshu Chou, aren't you afraid that the innocent ghosts who died under this chariot will come after you to settle the score?" Master Ban could see at a glance that Gongshu Chou's chariot contained traces of non-offensive mechanical techniques. Thinking that his own non-offensive mechanical techniques would become a deadly weapon, he felt indignant and said hatefully.

Gongshu Chou smiled slightly, not angry at all, and cast a provocative look at Master Ban: "Old Ban, are you jealous of me for developing such a weapon of war?"

"Ahem." Tian Xuan knew that if he didn't intervene, Master Ban and Gongshu Chou would start quarreling immediately. He was not interested in watching two old men quarreling. He coughed dryly several times and said seriously, "Mr. Gongshu, can you develop a civilian form of this chariot, that is, remove all the offensive features?"

"Of course." Facing Tianxuan's question, Gongshu Chou first said it with a hint of pride, and then a look of confusion appeared on his face, "Your Majesty, why are you asking this?"

Snapped!
The powerful chariot had stopped, and the disciple of Gongshu who was driving the chariot took the initiative to leave the chariot, retracted the weapons of the chariot, and stopped in front of Tianxuan like an ordinary vehicle in Tianxuan's previous life. Looking down at the chariot that had lost its offensive power, Tianxuan slapped the bronze body of the chariot with a crisp sound.

"I'm wondering if we can promote non-aggressive cars to make it easier for people to travel!"

Tianxuan stood beside the chariot and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

As soon as Tianxuan said this, Master Ban's eyes were filled with endless excitement and he exclaimed in admiration.

Although Gongshu Chou has no eyebrows, when his emotions fluctuate, the place where eyebrows should be will still react. Hearing Tianxuan's words, Gongshu Chou frowned at first, and then relaxed.

"Your Majesty, will His Majesty agree?"

"If your majesty disagrees, I will develop a vehicle that can be used as a means of transportation." Master Ban interrupted impatiently without waiting for Tianxuan to answer. As he spoke, Master Ban's face showed pride. Although he had just seen this chariot that combined the Mohist non-aggression mechanism and the Gongshu School's domineering mechanism, he had already understood most of the principles of this vehicle. He was confident that if he was given a few months, he could develop a vehicle that had no lethality and was no slower than a war horse.

"Since Master Ban is interested, you can give it a try."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Master Ban was overjoyed to receive Tianxuan's guarantee.

Tianxuan came here today to supervise the work, purely on a whim. After seeing the two inventions of Master Ban and Gongshu Chou, he was no longer interested and had no intention of staying here any longer.

"Master Ban, Mr. Gongshu, I have other things to do, so I will go first."

"Goodbye, Your Majesty." The two old guys did not dare to be arrogant in front of Tianxuan, and said goodbye to Tianxuan in unison.

"Old Man Ban, what kind of person do you think this Lord is?" After watching Tianxuan disappear from his sight, Gongshu Chou suddenly asked this question to Master Ban beside him.

Master Ban's face was mostly covered by his snow-white hair and beard. He was deep in thought, recalling his encounter with Tianxuan: "He is a man of great talent and wisdom, and he knows how to appoint the right people to the right positions. Although he has a murderous nature, he can control it perfectly. Such a person, even if he is not born in an imperial family, can still achieve great things."

"That's absolutely right." Gongshu Chou agreed deeply with Master Ban's point of view.

In addition to agreeing with Master Ban's view on Tianxuan, Gongshu Chou looked at Master Ban with a hint of recognition. However, Gongshu Chou then remembered that the old man next to him was his old enemy. His withered face showed sincere disdain, and he distanced himself from Master Ban in a flash.

A similar reaction also appeared in Master Ban. A descendant of the domineering mechanical arts and a descendant of the non-offensive mechanical arts, they were harmonious for a moment, but then they began to dislike each other again.

………………

Chu area, Yunmeng Lake.

"Hahaha."

Yunmeng Lake is a group of lakes in Chu State, with a circumference of nearly a thousand miles. Islands made of mud and sand are scattered like stars in the sky on the vast lake group. The terrain is complex and rarely visited. After the fall of Chu State, Yunmeng Lake has been the hiding place of the Xiang family, a general of Chu State.

In the battle of Linzi City, the Anti-Qin Alliance fell into Tianxuan's trap and fell into the trap prepared by Tianxuan and Fusu. After a bloody battle, the backbone of the Anti-Qin Alliance, such as the Nongjia and Mojia, was destroyed, and other participating forces were not doing well. After this battle, the various anti-Qin forces were severely damaged and could no longer pose a threat to the empire.

Although the Xiang clan retreated in time under the leadership of their new leader Xiang Shaoyu and military advisor Fan Zeng, and their troops did not suffer too much harm, some recruited stragglers from the State of Chu and the gangsters who depended on them were still wiped out by the imperial army because their tracks were exposed.

After the battle, the remaining members of the Xiang clan, led by Xiang Shaoyu and Fan Zeng, had to retreat to Yunmeng Lake, where they had been hiding for many years. The imperial army was not unaware that the Xiang clan was hiding there, but the terrain in Yunmeng Lake was too complicated, and the Xiang clan's understanding of the terrain was far beyond theirs.

Therefore, the Xiang clan hiding in Yunmeng Lake could only be turned a blind eye. Occasionally, if the Xiang clan left Yunmeng Lake to purchase some daily necessities, they would be attacked by the empire immediately, and they would not be given the opportunity to return to Yunmeng Lake.

Although some people living near Yunmeng Lake would risk their lives to transport salt, cloth and other necessities to the Xiang family, it was not a long-term solution. The Xiang family realized that the empire wanted to trap them to death in Yunmeng Lake.

From the new leader Xiang Shaoyu down, all the members of the Xiang clan felt that they were no different from birds in the empire's cage. One day, a person quietly evaded the empire's overlapping blockade outside Yunmeng Lake and easily found the hiding place of Xiang Shaoyu and Fan Zeng, bringing good news that could break the situation and even turn the tide.

A laughter filled with endless ecstasy came from a small island that was dozens of feet long and wide, causing the dry reeds on the island to sway, and rushed straight into the vast sky, as if wanting to vent in this way all the grievances and resentment that had accumulated in the heart since the demise of the Chu State.

This caused the Xiang clan members living on the nearby islands to drive their boats towards this island.
