Sima Kong was surprised by Jing Ke's question, his face stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud, "Everything in the world, as long as people are like the clouds, it can become fake and the fake can become real. Who can tell if it's real or fake? As for the matter with the Prime Minister, you and I have not personally witnessed it, so how can we determine if it is true or false? "

"Then this matter is fake?" Jing Ke was confused by Sima Kong's words, so he asked himself.

"Hehe, I don't need to investigate whether this is true or false. I will leave it to the later generations to dig up and comment on." Sima Kong only gave a faint smile, stretched out his hands towards Jing Ke, and said in an attempt to support him, "Brother Jing, you should get up first and then we'll talk."

"Jing Ke wouldn't dare," seeing Sima Kong's actions, Jing Ke became even more respectful and said, "Mister is truly knowledgeable and has great talent. Without Mister's help, I'm afraid that General Fan would have to suffer a lot in the future, so I hope Mister Jing Ke will reconsider!"

When Sima Kong heard Jing Ke's words, he finally understood why Jing Ke was begging him so bitterly. It seemed like in the end, he still deeply valued Fan Yicheng, so his eyebrows relaxed and he slowly replied, "There's a lot of people here who can beat Sima Kong. Why would Brother Jing need to make things difficult for me?"

Hearing Sima Kong's words, Jing Ke was both surprised and happy. He hurriedly asked, "Oh? "Teacher is familiar with the art of war and has set the stage for planning. Who in this world is more talented than Teacher?" Then, he muttered to himself in a low voice: "Could it be that you are talking about the Zong Family's Su Li Su elder? It's a pity that he has already traveled through the mountains and plains, and is no longer involved with worldly affairs. "

When Sima Kong heard Jing Ke's guess, he only shook his head and said, "Although old senior Su Li has some skill, it's still a skill that allows him to scheme for his country. If he wants to win by a thousand miles on the battlefield, he needs someone else."

"Then who is it? Mister, please teach Jing Ke." Jing Ke cupped his fists and bowed again.

Sima Kong still didn't answer, he went back to his carriage, lifted the curtain and went back into the carriage. After everything was settled, he said to Jing Ke, "First get up and make way, I'll teach you."

After Jing Ke heard Sima Kong's words, he didn't try to stop him. He could only stand up and move to the side.

Sima Kong ordered the coachman to drive the carriage forward. The sound of the coachman could be heard again as Sima Kong's carriage jolted forward once more along the small road at the entrance of the Volkswagen Mountain.

"Sir, please teach me!" Jing Ke saw that Si Kong's horse carriage didn't even respond when it was tens of feet away, he couldn't help but to anxiously shout out.

"The shore of the East Sea, under the Listening Wave Pavilion. I, your father, am not small, and have invited the moon as my guest." From the carriage came the melodious sounds of Sima Kong's movements.

"The shore of the Eastern Sea, under the Listening Wave Pavilion. I, your father, am not small, and have invited the moon as my guest ?" Jing Ke carefully pondered these 16 words in a low voice, but he didn't understand any of the mysteries. Just as he wanted to raise his head up and ask a question, he heard another profound poem faintly come from within the carriage: "Bi Hai was born to listen to the night rain, laughing to see the wind and the clouds rise."

When Jing Ke looked further ahead, he saw that the shadow of Sima Kong's carriage had already disappeared from the entrance of the mountain, it was most likely that he had already left for the Land of Nine Prefectures by this time. Although Jing Ke wanted to keep Sima Kong here, in the end, he couldn't keep him here. He could only say a few words in a poem he didn't understand, and could only bitterly return.

When Jing Ke returned to the city, he saw that the city was swarming with soldiers. Soldiers could be seen shuttling through the streets and alleys, and their postures made it seem as if they were looking for something. Jing Ke secretly thought to himself, these soldiers were mostly personal followers of Fan Yuzhen. Could it be that General Fan was also looking for traces of Mister Sima?

Filled with this doubt, he walked all the way to the room outside of Fan's. Separated by a window, he could see that there were people pacing back and forth. The figure's footsteps were messy and seemed very anxious. Jing Ke leaned forward to enter the room, only to see two soldiers kneeling on the ground. The figure pacing back and forth in front of them was none other than Fan Yicheng, while Tian Gan was sitting at the side with a frown on his face.

"You two bastards definitely did not serve Mister Sima properly, so he suffered a grievance and left without a word! "If Mister can find it back, then it's fine. But if you can't, hmph, then let's pull down a hundred military sticks!" Fan Yu Chen paced back and forth a few times, then suddenly stopped and shouted at the two soldiers who were kneeling on the ground.

It turned out that Fan Yuzhen had woken up this morning and heard the sergeant report that Sima Kong had left without saying goodbye, leaving behind a letter for Fan Yuzheng. He could only hope that he had not made it out of the city in time, but he did not know that this Sima Kong had not just left. He had already packed up his luggage during the celebration last night, and had quietly left this morning while the soldiers who were on night duty for his side chamber were sleeping soundly. And Fan Yu had ordered people to search for so long, but still couldn't find any news about Si Kong. He could not help but become furious, and took the two soldiers on night duty to vent his anger.

"Great General, one hundred military batons has taken the lives of this lowly one. Please have mercy, Great General!" When the two soldiers heard Fan Yuchen's angry words, they immediately kowtowed and shouted for mercy.

"The two of you are not on Seere's watch. You don't even know where Se?or Sima went to, what's the use of keeping the two of you here?!" It's your own good fortune whether you can survive it or not! " Not only was Fan Yicheng unmoved, he was even more enraged.

"General Fan, I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with the two of them but Mister Sima intentionally avoided them." After Jing Ke saw the whole story, he immediately reported to Fan Yicheng.

When Fan Yuchen heard Jing Ke's voice, he looked up and saw that it really was him. He was both surprised and happy as he rushed forward and grabbed Jing Ke's arm: "Brother Jing, you've come too well, you've always had so many schemes, quickly help me take a look at Sima Kong ?" Halfway through his words, he suddenly noticed Jing Ke's words just now, and his joy turned to doubt. "What did you say just now?" Did Si Ma Kong intentionally leave this place? "

"Exactly." Jing Ke nodded in reply.

"Why is that?" Fan Xian looked forward to Jing Ke's very affirmation and serious expression, and couldn't help but wrinkle his brows, puzzled.

Jing Ke, however, wasn't in a hurry to answer Fan Yicheng's question, and only threw a sidelong glance at the two soldiers kneeling on the ground. Seeing his expression, Fan Yuzheng understood the meaning behind his words, and shouted at the two of them: "You two bastards, scram away for now, this general will interrogate you later!"

When the two of them heard Fan Yuzhen's words, they obediently followed him, rolling and crawling as they ran out of the door.

After the two of them left, Fan Xian carefully asked Jing Ke, "Brother Jing, what did you say just now? Could it be that this general treated him badly? "

Jing Ke didn't say anything, he only shook his head.

"Could it be that the general was anxious to repay the favor yesterday and was in a hurry to recommend the person for the first meritorious service to his son and steal Mister Si Ma's prize, causing him to leave in anger?" At this moment, Tian Gan, who was sitting to the side thinking, also stood up and asked.

Jing Ke looked at his Senior Brother's shocked expression, but still shook his head. This made Fan Yu Chen, who was beside him, extremely anxious. He frowned, and asked with a tense face: "Then why?"

Jing Ke was not in a hurry to reply. He only took a light breath, and after recovering for a while, he turned his head to Fan Yuchen and asked, "Does General Fan know which faction Mister Sima belongs to?"

"Of course, it's a direct line of descent," Fan Yicheng said very seriously, "But so what?"

"So that's how it is. This is the reason why Mister Si Ma insists on leaving." Just as Fan Yuzhen was asking this question, he heard Tian Gan nodding as he understood.

"Brother Tian Gan, your words ?" Seeing that Tian Gan nodded, he still did not understand.

"The ancestor of this family is the Qin Kingdom's Prime Minister Lu Buwei, and General Fan borrowed Lu Buwei to steal this country, so it is clear that he wants to disgrace this family's reputation. Since Mister Sima is a descendant of this family, how could he do something so disrespectful of the sect?" So Mr. Sima will have to go. " Tian Gan looked outside the door as he slowly spoke. It was as if he had already seen Si Kong's retreating figure.

"Ah?" "Then, if Mister Sima left, wouldn't it all be because of me?" When Fan Yuzhen suddenly heard Tian Gan's explanation, he was shocked. He was originally angry, but when he thought of how Sima Kong had given his advice and now that he had left, he felt a sense of guilt. He could not help blushing.

"Actually, there's no need for Brother Fan to blame himself. There's already a lot of helplessness in this world. As long as General Fan does his own things and lives up to his reputation, that will be enough." Tian Gan saw that Fan Yicheng seemed to be blaming himself for his earlier impoliteness, and then he thought of the helplessness of being able to meet his match with Chong Li. He also touched the occasion and comforted Fan Yicheng.

Big Brother Tian Gan's words are reasonable, everything in the world is about right and wrong. It only depends on what angle you stand to look at it from. Back then, your benefactor Big Brother Li was always frustrated that he was unable to show off his might, but he was willing to sacrifice his life for the righteousness of the world. After hearing Tian Gan's words, Jing Ke knew what he was thinking in his heart, so he also agreed with him. In fact, his words were an opportunity to tell Tian Gan: Although Miss Zhong Li has passed away, but her actions can stay forever in this world.

Fan Yuzhen felt much better after hearing their words. He was about to thank them when he suddenly heard a soldier report outside the door, "Reporting to the great general, the Nine Barbarians King has invited Great Hero Heaven to hunt in the Nine Barbarians Mountain."

When Fan Yuzhen heard the report, he mused to himself, "Heaven has always only acted under my command. I don't know why Jiang Yi has come to invite Tian Gan." He only glanced at Tian Gan as he casually replied, "Alright, let's go report to the Nine Barbarians King first. Tian Gan will be right behind us."

"Okay." The soldier took the message and went back to report.

After the soldier left, Fan Xian then said to Tian Gan, somewhat puzzled, "I wonder why Jiang Yi only summoned you to accompany him on the hunt. Brother Tian Gan still has to be cautious."

"Thank you for your reminder, Big Brother Fan. I will take it to heart." After Tian Gan heard this, he cupped his hands together and thanked Fan Yu.

"Hehe, I'm afraid General Fan is overthinking things. Perhaps this is a good thing for Brother Tian Gan?" And at this time, Jing Ke secretly laughed on the side, making a weird face as he joked.

Hearing this, Fan Yuzhen was even more confused, but he still looked at Tian Gan with confusion in his eyes, and Tian Gan didn't say anything, he only spoke seriously to Jing Ke: "Junior Brother Kui, don't speak nonsense." With that, he strode out of the room.

Since ancient times, the Rong Family had always lived in remote areas and hunted. Therefore, Jiang Yi's Nine Barbarians were no exception. According to the customs of the Nine Barbarians, every year, the Nine Barbarian King would send its men to hunt in the depths of the mountains to make up for the shortage of food in the city. Since hunting in the mountains was not as easy as it was in the Central Plains, and the mountain roads were extremely difficult and dangerous, and the Rong family did not have many horses to travel on, other than the Nine Mystical Palace's carriage, the rest of the troops only went into the mountains on foot to hunt for their prey. They did not leave the mountains until the sun set over the mountain, gathering at the entrance to count their harvests. It was now noon. According to the rules, as long as everyone was gathered together, the Nine Barbarian King's order would cause the hunt to officially begin. However, Jiang Yi refused to give the order because he was still waiting patiently for someone.

"Great King, the Heaven's Deity Warrior has arrived." With a loud report from Rong Ren, the serious expression on the face of the Nine Barbarian King immediately relaxed as he asked, "Where is he?"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Tian Gan clasp his hands and bow towards him. "I, Tian Gan, pay my respects to the Nine Barbarian King."

"Heh heh, Tian Gan, it's great that you're here. This King is holding a Great Hunt today, why don't you come and participate?" Upon seeing Tian Gan's courteous actions, the Nine Barbarian King was overjoyed as he spoke to Tian Gan with a smile.

"Heaven is not good at hunting, please retract your order." Who knew that the heavens would not appreciate his kindness? He only politely rejected Jiang Yi with a single word.

Upon hearing that Heaven Gan actually dared to decline his kind invitation, Jiang Yi's expression turned grim. "How come the warriors of the Nine Barbarian Tribe don't even know how to hunt?"

"Royal father, Big Brother Tian Gan was originally from the Central Plains and was used to eating wild fruits and millet. Naturally, he is not good at hunting, so it would be better if I taught Big Brother Tian Gan." Standing at the side, Jiang Zhong saw the displeasure on her father's face and immediately volunteered to Jiang Yi.

"Mm. That's fine too. You can teach him some of our Rong family's rules and abilities. In the future, they will also be good for you." When Jiang Yi heard his daughter say this, it was obvious that she was doing it to smooth things over for the heavens. Since he couldn't be any more stiff, he readily agreed to her request. He then turned to the leaders of the various tribes behind him and said, "Fan Bu, Aldo, lead your men into the mountain forests of the Nine Barbarians to hunt them down!"

"Yes, my lord." Upon hearing the Nine Barbarian King's command, Fan Bu and Ordo immediately responded in unison.

"Today's hunt is limited to sunset. When the sun sets before the mountain peaks of the Nine Mystical Mountain, you will gather your prey at this mountain pass. This king will reward you based on the merit of your prey!" However, if you delay it by an hour, you will not receive any rewards even if you return with a great harvest! " Jiang Yi then raised the horsewhip on the carriage and shouted loudly towards all the clan members. His voice was filled with vigor as it shook the entire valley.

"Hah! Hah!" When the various tribes heard Jiang Yi's majestic words, their fighting spirits were immediately roused. They shouted together and their voices reverberated endlessly. Before this shout could dissipate, the soldiers had already drawn their long spears and rushed into the tall mountains.
