Chapter 99: The Heir of Mohism (Please Collect, Please Recommend)

Regarding Liu Yao, who was still in Cai Yong's residence, he had learned early on that Zhang Rang would go to see Liu Hong. Therefore, he had Shi A report the matter to Liu Hong first. Then there was Liu Hong suppressing Zhang Rang somewhat.

The next day, as Liu Yao was practicing calligraphy with Cai Yan and Diao Chan in the study, Shi A's voice suddenly rang out from outside the study.

"Your Highness, there is important news to report." Shi A said respectfully. His tone carried three parts of excitement and excitement.

Liu Yao frowned, somewhat displeased, and asked, "Shi A, what exactly is the matter?" He had long instructed not to disturb him. Therefore, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Shi A's current behavior.

"Your Highness, it is very important news." Shi A said somewhat anxiously. Liu Yao had said that if this news came, he must report it to Your Highness at the earliest time and place possible. Shi A did not dare to delay in the slightest.

"Cai Yan, Shi A would not shoot arrows without purpose. You should go busy with your own matters first." Cai Yan said softly. Although it was rare to have time to spend with Liu Yao, as a future virtuous assistant, Cai Yan still knew that Liu Yao should prioritize major matters.

Liu Yao glanced at Diao Chan and Cai Yan somewhat apologetically, then walked out of the study and followed Shi A to the hall.

"Shi A, what exactly is the matter? Why are you so anxious?" Liu Yao asked. In his impression, Shi A was always that cool figure with no expressions at all.

"Your Highness, the Shadow Group has reported that they have already received news from the Mohist school." Shi A said respectfully.

"Oh, the Mohist school." Liu Yao said casually. But the next moment, Liu Yao completely reacted. He grabbed Shi A and called out excitedly, "Shi A, what did you just say? The Mohist school!! The Mohist school!!"

Shi A nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness. The Shadow Group reported that the successor of the Mohist school lives in Chenliu, Yanzhou. Now the brothers of the Shadow Group are secretly monitoring from afar. Even if the Mohist people leave, we can get the news at the earliest time."

"Good, well done." Liu Yao praised. Then he anxiously said, "Hurry and prepare the luggage. We will head to Chenliu today."

"Your Highness, although the Yellow Turbans have been pacified now, Yanzhou still has many Yellow Turban remnants. I think we should bring some brothers from the Assault Camp to go together." Shi A said somewhat worriedly. Even two fists are no match for four hands; even if Shi A's strength is greater, he cannot protect Liu Yao well in the midst of thousands of troops and horses.

Liu Yao thought about it and indeed it was so. Yanzhou was the place where Cao Cao rose from in history. Back then, Cao Cao had been made a mess by 300,000 green-robed Yellow Turbans. It was better to be more cautious oneself.

"Shi A, go and summon Fengxiao, Yide, and Zilong all to me, and also bring five thousand Assault Camp soldiers, going to Chenliu with me." Liu Yao ordered. This time, Liu Yao brought all his current troops, showing that his trip to Chenliu was imperative.

"Understood." Shi A responded, then went to prepare.

That day at noon, from the emperor in Luoyang down to the common people at dawn all knew that Liu Yao had directly led his three thousand troops out of Luoyang. For a time, Luoyang was somewhat panicked, thinking some disturbance had occurred again.

Of course, among them were also Liu Yao's opponents who slandered Liu Yao, secretly sending troops, intending rebellion. But these were all suppressed by Liu Hong. How could Liu Yao leave Luoyang without informing Emperor Ling of Han?

In Chenliu, Yanzhou, along the way Liu Yao encountered quite a few Yellow Turban remnants, but most were tens to hundreds, the largest not exceeding a thousand or so. Seeing Liu Yao's well-equipped cavalry troops, they quickly avoided them on their own. Liu Yao, having important matters, did not bother to argue with them. Thus, Liu Yao and his group arrived at Chenliu without any hindrance along the way.

Then Liu Yao stationed the Assault Camp outside the city, and himself, along with Guo Jia, Shi A, and over a hundred personal guards, walked into Chenliu City. However, those hundred personal guards, Liu Yao did not have them follow, but had them go out to find a person, Chenliu's Dian Wei. This was the first bodyguard in Three Kingdoms history. One Lu, two Zhao, three Dian Wei. Clearly demonstrating Dian Wei's martial prowess.

Of course, whether Liu Yao could find Dian Wei this time was uncertain, although Dian Wei was from Chenliu. But in history, he was wanted by the government for helping a friend seek revenge, but Liu Yao didn't know the time. Thus, finding him or not could only be by fate.

In front of a humble small courtyard in Chenliu. Liu Yao, Guo Jia, and the five of them were standing at the door. According to the Shadow Group's news, the Mohist people lived here.

"Grand General of the Han's Cavalry, Liu Yao from the Governor of Youzhou, has come to pay respects to the Mohist successor. Please come out to see." Liu Yao shouted loudly.

Then after Liu Yao's voice, there was no response for a long time.

At this moment, Zhang Fei couldn't hold back. Zhang Fei couldn't endure solitude the most, and someone inside dared to ignore Liu Yao, immediately letting Zhang Fei get furious.

"Damn it, my lord comes to visit with such status, and you dare to put on airs. Look at my old Zhang not pulling you out to properly teach you a lesson." As he said, Zhang Fei flicked his sleeves and was about to charge straight into the courtyard.

"Yi De, don't!!" Liu Yao saw this and hurriedly called. As he said, he pulled back Zhang Fei, who had one foot already stepping into the courtyard.

And at this moment, dozens of crossbow bolts flew out from somewhere, straight piercing where Zhang Fei had stepped earlier.

Zhang Fei was instantly scared with cold sweat. If Liu Yao hadn't pulled him back in time, the current Zhang Fei would probably be a hedgehog.

Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. As a Mohist, how could they not know the art of mechanisms? Then Liu Yao got angry. He most disliked anyone daring to attack his brothers. Moreover, each of Zhang Fei and the others were his capable assistants; losing even one would make Liu Yao heartbroken.

"Hmph, is this the Mohist way of treating guests? Welcoming with crossbow bolts, quite unique, ah." Liu Yao said sarcastically.

"People inside, if you don't come out within ten breaths, then don't blame me for acting." Liu Yao said angrily. Since the Mohist people were not giving face, he didn't need to be polite either. It was fine to grab them one by one and force them to work for him.

Sure enough, not everyone is like going to death calmly. After a few breaths, the door in the courtyard opened. Two people walked out, an old one and a young one.

"The commoner Mo Tian (Mo Yu) pays respects to Your Highness." The two bowed to Liu Yao at the same time. They seemed to be disciples of the Mohist school. Apparently, Mo Yu was Mo Tian's apprentice.

"Heh, old Mo, you finally came out at the right time. Earlier you were ignoring me." Liu Yao said somewhat sarcastically.

"Please Your Highness forgive the crime. The commoner is helpless." Mo Tian said without changing his expression.

"Cut the helpless. Earlier you almost injured my old Zhang. If not for looking at Your Highness's face, my old Zhang would have sent you a few bullet holes through the body." The Zhang Fei who almost got injured by the mechanism had no good temper for these two chief culprits.

"Ah, Yi De, not to be rude." Liu Yao scolded. After all, he was here to persuade them. Making too much fuss wasn't good. Zhang Fei could only hide behind Liu Yao and sulk to himself.

Mo Tian did the same, bowing greatly to Zhang Fei. "Earlier it was my fault. Here, I apologize to the general."

"Hmph." Zhang Fei snorted coldly, not paying attention to Mo Tian. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

"Old Mo, don't be angry. He is like this temperament." Liu Yao said casually. "We traveled far to come, so how can Old Mo entertain guests like this?"

"It was my negligence, Your Highness, please enter the inner hall." As he said, Mo Tian addressed Liu Yao.

Liu Yao nodded, then strode in.

"Be careful, Your Highness." Shi A called. He was still a bit worried about the earlier mechanisms.

Mo Tian smiled and said, "General, rest assured. The mechanisms here have been taken away by this old one."

Liu Yao was startled in his heart. He completely didn't know when Mo Tian had taken away the mechanisms. The Mohist school was truly something. But he also believed Mo Tian wouldn't lie to him, so he walked in first. Sure enough, the way was smooth. And Shi A and the others, seeing this, followed one by one.
