That night. The Southern Protectorate Office.
Bian Que came to the residence to check Ouyang Shuo's pulse.
"How is it?"
It was Song Jia.
Song Jia went back to the Protectorate Office as soon as she heard that Ouyang Shuo was injured.
Bian Que frowned. "The poison Marquis suffered from is called Jackdaw's Poison. It's a rare poison.
"Is there an antidote?"
"It's difficult."
"How can this be? Even you can't do anything?"
Song Jia was worried.
"Jackdaw's Poison is strange and tough. It can be suppressed, but it's hard to get rid of." Bian Que knew the poison well.
"Is Jackdaw's Poison a type of cold poison?"
"Yes."
"Is the Rhino Horn Detoxification Pill useless?"
"Jackdaw's Poison is even more vicious than Master Lin's poison." Bian Que shook his head and said, "If I'm right, Marquis must've taken the inner core of an Ironback Beast, right?"
"That's right."
Ouyang Shuo's expression was calm.
"If it weren't for the inner core, he would've been poisoned."
"If that's the case, will the inner core of an Ironback Beast be effective?"
Bian Que thought for a moment and said, "I don't think regular wild beasts will work. It has to be the inner core of a beast king. Only by combining it with the special-grade Rhinoceros Horn Detoxification Pill can the Jackdaw's poison be completely eradicated. "
"That's great." Song Jia was delighted.
Bian Que shook his head. "As far as I know, Ironbacks are rare and Beast Kings are even rarer. It's not easy to find a Beast King and kill it. "
"I don't believe that we can't find a Beast King on the entire Jingzhou."
Song Jia, on the other hand, was stubborn. She was determined to go to the Cliff State herself to find the beast king.
Ouyang Shuo saw through her plan right away. He smiled. "You don't have to go. I'll send a letter to Tian Wenjing and Sun Bin and ask them to take care of it."
"No." Song Jia shook her head. "The army won't be able to find the Beast King. I'll take my disciples with me so they can gain some experience."
Ouyang Shuo didn't object.
Tianqi and the others were still training in the Cliff State. He wondered if they were fine.
So it was decided.
After Bian Que left, Song Jia looked at Ouyang Shuo with dissatisfaction and coquettishly said, "Idiot, you're already so old, yet you still don't know how to take care of yourself."
Ouyang Shuo only smiled.
"Asshole!"
Song Jia was both angry and amused.
"Right, Big Brother wrote me a letter."
"Que.
Song Jia frowned and said, "There seems to be some disagreement within the family regarding Shanhai City's attack on Zhaoqing County. "Second Uncle is the most against it.
Ouyang Shuo smiled playfully and said, "Does your second uncle think that Zhaoqing County is his?"
"Song" Song. is. is.
The people of the clan were a little too arrogant.
How could Tianshuang County possibly swallow up Zhaoqing County?
Needless to say, Wuyi was the Southern Protector General. Not to mention Zhaoqing County, even the entire Lingnan Province was within Shanhai City's sights.
At a time like this, how could he have any ambitions?
Without Shanhai City's backing, Tianshuang County wouldn't even be able to gain a foothold in Lingnan Province. How could they have enjoyed the limitless glory they had today?!
As a junior, it was not appropriate for her to speak ill of her elders behind their backs.
"It's fine." Ouyang Shuo patted Song Jia's shoulder and said with a smile, "I will take care of it."
When he decided to attack Zhaoqing County, Ouyang Shuo had already expected this.
No matter what, the Song Family was also an aristocratic family. How could they lack ambitious people?
However, ambition was only ambition. In the face of absolute power, all tricks were useless.
Considering Song Jia's feelings, Ouyang Shuo would naturally handle it appropriately.
"Yes."
Song Jia nodded and snuggled into Ouyang Shuo's embrace.
Song Jia already had a deep understanding of this man. She knew that her lover had gone through a series of trials and tribulations, and was no longer the ignorant person he used to be. His methods, bearing, and wisdom were hard to fathom for ordinary people.
Song Jia rejoiced that she had bravely confessed to him that day.
Obtaining such a person's heart was enough in this life.
"By the way, find some time to bring your parents to Shanhai City for a chat."
"Hmm?"
"Why? Can't I pay a visit to my future father-in-law?"
"Hmph, who knows what you're planning." Song Jia did not believe that Wu Yi simply wanted to meet her parents. Otherwise, he would have met them long ago. Why would he wait until now?
"You're smart."
Ouyang Shuo did not deny it.
Since the Song Family was divided, he naturally had to support his future father-in-law's side and completely control the family.
This matter had to be discussed in detail.
If Ouyang Shuo rushed to Tianshuang County, he would definitely be surrounded by the people of the Song Family. He might not have the chance to talk to his future father-in-law in detail.
With Song Jia's intelligence, she vaguely guessed Ouyang Shuo's intentions.
"Wait for me to come back from Cliff Province!"
"Okay!"
Ouyang Shuo could not cultivate if the Jackdaw Poison in his body was not cured. Even the Inner Canon of the Yellow Thearch mainly suppressed the poison and could not increase his True Origin.
As for the Slaying Sword Canon that he had just obtained, he could only cultivate it later.
The next day, Ouyang Shuo sent Song Jia off.
Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo told Song Jia to go to Cliff Province and bring Tianqi and the others back to his territory. He had arrangements. Song Jia gave Ouyang Shuo a strange look and did not say anything. She just nodded.
Speaking of which, Ouyang Shuo had been supporting the Eastern Fence Sword Sect all the way. Next, it was time for them to play a role.
After sending Song Jia off, Ouyang Shuo summoned Black Snake.
"Marquis!"
Black Snake was dressed in black, with a black cloak and even a hood.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Black Snake took off his hood.
Since the establishment of the Black Snake Guard, the original Black Mamba had completely disappeared and was replaced by a mysterious Black Snake. Even the people of Shanhai City rarely noticed the existence of Black Snake.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo was an exception.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Two tasks. First, send people to find the Divine Craftsman Ou Yezi. Second, increase the infiltration of the Rosy Cloud Alliance, especially Rosy Cloud County. "
"Understood!"
Black Snake's words were concise and comprehensive.
Neither task was easy, but Black Snake was still full of confidence. After a few months of expansion, the Blacksnake Guard's influence in the China region was no small matter.
With the nine intelligence stations as nodes and Ouyang Shuo's enormous financial support, the Blacksnake Guard had already woven an enormous intelligence network in the China region.
Of course, compared to the [Imperial Wind] of Handan City, the Black Snake Guards were still somewhat lacking.
The establishment of [Imperial Wind] did not only use the resources of an Emperor family. There was also the mysterious resources that Peerless Peerless had secretly controlled.
This mysterious beauty was not simply Di Chen's advisor.
Didn't they see that even the Di Family didn't dare to criticize Peerless Elegance?
These invisible resources were incomparable to the Black Snake Guards.
The strength of [Imperial Wind] lay in its deep network of players. The Black Snake Guard's main target was naturally the NPCs. In this aspect, Shanhai City had a unique advantage.
The stacking of the various territorial characteristics and the strong territorial popularity were not just for show.
At the same time, the strength of the Black Snake Guard also made Ouyang Shuo wary.
Although Ouyang Shuo still had the confidence to control the Black Snake Guard, he could not guarantee that as the Black Snake Guard grew stronger, they would not bypass him and do other shady things.
In the process of establishing the Black Snake Guard, Ouyang Shuo would definitely not let go and let the Black Snake Guard handle it alone. Some of the personnel arrangements had left traces of Ouyang Shuo.
To this, the Black Snake also tacitly agreed.
The Black Snake knew that if the Marquis did not make such arrangements, it would instead be abnormal.
It could only mean that the Marquis did not trust the Black Snake Guard.
In the past, intelligence agencies like this were full of shady dealings.
The most effective way was to complete Ouyang Shuo's original plan.
The three intelligence agencies would restrict each other.
The problem was that the most crucial link, the security department, had yet to make a move.
It seemed that the establishment of the security department was really urgent.
After the Black Snake left, Wei Yang walked in.
"Marquis!"
"Sit!"
"Is there anything in the internal affairs department?"
"No."
"Oh?"
Wei Yang's expression was a little strange. "The day before yesterday, Mencius from the Confucian School came to Shanhai City to study."
"Mencius?"
Ouyang Shuo's expression jerked. According to the time that had passed, it ought to be the time when the Hundred Schools Contend Against each other erupted.
This is interesting.
"Not bad."
"I think he's prepared to debate with you. Are you confident?"
"Full of confidence."
"Alright." Ouyang Shuo laughed heartily and said, "Since it's like this, then let's make it a little bigger. This Marquis will send out invitations, inviting all the disciples of the Hundred Schools to participate in this grand meeting. "
Ouyang Shuo could faintly sense that the time for a great debate was ripe.
Among the hundred schools of thought, Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, and Daoism were the strongest.
Among them, the Confucian school attracted the most hatred.
The struggle between Confucianism and Legalism, the struggle between Confucianism and Mohism, and the struggle between Confucianism and Daoism ran through from beginning to end.
In the struggle between Confucianism and Legalism, the most fundamental issue was the rule of virtue or the rule of law. The conflict between Confucianism and Mohism was a question of benevolence or universal love. The battle between Confucianism and Daoism was a question of whether one should do something or not.
In the Qin Dynasty, legalism was the orthodoxy.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Daoist doctrine of Huang Lao emphasized the rule of non-interference and recuperation.
It was only during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han that the Confucian school became the orthodox school.
Of course, the phrase 'dismissing the hundred schools of thought and reigning supreme over Confucianism' was a combination of the various schools of thought.
On the surface, Confucianism was the orthodoxy, but in reality, it was still the Legalism doctrine. When it was time to kill, they would not be lenient.
Thus, the struggle between Confucianism and Legalism was the most important.
As one of the representatives of Confucianism, Mencius naturally did not come to Shanhai City to take a stroll. Everyone knew that one of the representatives of Legalism, Wei Yang, was becoming an official in Shanhai City.
In the end, Confucianism and Legalism would have to fight.
As a lord, Ouyang Shuo would not participate in the struggle between the hundred schools of thought. He pursued the principle of tolerance and tolerance.
Thus, Ouyang Shuo used this as an opportunity to hold a great debate. (To be continued.)
