Chapter 196 A combination of kindness and power
After saying that, Tang Yu turned around and left.
Shen Lang was taken aback at first.
He then raised his eyes and looked at the group of Mo family members in front of him.
The group held wooden sticks in their hands and wore animal skins, looking almost like uncivilized primitive people.
He felt it was somewhat cruel.
However, since this is the Grand Preceptor's order, Shen Lang must carry it out no matter what.
He immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Grand Preceptor, I understand!"
At that moment, he faced the Mo family members and drew his long sword directly from his waist.
A ferocious look appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Everyone, I'm sorry."
"However, as people under the Grand Preceptor and as citizens of Qin, if you are unwilling to join Qin, then you have no choice but to die."
As Elder Sun watched Tang Yu's departing figure without slowing down or stopping, he finally panicked.
He forgot that he was not just facing a Zhao Zilong who was speaking to them in a friendly manner and negotiating terms.
Young Master Zhao, too, was known as that fierce and ruthless army.
How could Tang Yu, the Grand Preceptor who ultimately led the Qin state, be a kind soul?
Seeing that Shen Lang and the others were preparing to have their warhorses charge, Sun Qiang shouted at Tang Yu's back.
"Grand Preceptor, you are wrong, you are wrong. The Mohist school still has room for negotiation, still has room for negotiation."
Who would have thought that Tang Yu would not stay?
Instead, he said, "What I want is not to talk, but for the Mohist school to agree."
Sun Qiang was now in a dilemma.
Because he didn't know whether he should agree or not.
At that moment, he heard Su Jinse's somewhat intimate voice behind him.
"Grand Preceptor, our Mohist school agrees to your request."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu paused for a moment.
He turned his head and looked at Su Jinse with some surprise.
He then nodded and said, "In that case, we're on the same side now."
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Shen Lang's lips curled into a smile.
He naturally knew that the Grand Preceptor wanted to subdue these Mohists.
Although Shen Lang also extremely disliked these members of the Mohist school.
After all, as a person from the Qin state, how could he possibly have any goodwill towards someone who was determined to overthrow the Qin state?
However, Shen Lang was genuinely happy for Tang Yu that the Grand Preceptor had been able to achieve his goal.
When Tang Yu returned, he looked at Su Jinse in front of him, his tone full of surprise: "Are you sure?"
"Wasn't that just something you blurted out to save your life?"
"Let me tell you, there's no such thing as a casual remark here. If you say something, you're obligated to do it no matter what."
Su Jinse was being stared at intently by Tang Yu.
He then said, "Of course I agree, I'm telling the truth."
"However, I want to tell you that we need to agree on a time limit and other conditions."
"If you simply send all the members of the Mohist school out to serve your Qin state for nothing for the rest of their lives, that is certainly not acceptable."
Tang Yu nodded in response to Su Jinse's words.
He's not a capitalist, and he doesn't want to be hung on a streetlight.
He took the initiative to secure food, lodging, and wages for the workers who were forced to perform corvée labor.
How could they possibly do something so bad that it would make you work for nothing for the rest of your life?
He looked at Su Jinse in front of him and said, "Miss Su's words are certainly reasonable, but we still need to discuss the other conditions in detail."
Although Su Jinse agreed, the others found it hard to believe as they watched Su Jinse and Tang Yu preparing to negotiate terms.
He roared, "Miss, you can't!"
"Miss, please don't agree, Miss!"
"What good will it do us if we fight to the death?"
"There were only 6 of them in total, and he himself had no fighting ability whatsoever."
"Yes, miss, let's fight him! Don't agree to it!"
Looking at this group of Mohist disciples who seemed like hot-blooded youths, and the Imperial Guards who had planned to take action against them before his death.
Tang Yu waved his hand. After all, these people would be under his command in the future, and it would be a real pity if they got hurt.
"That's enough! Shut up!"
"Are we going to hide in this cave for the rest of our lives?"
"Besides, even if we manage to escape in this life, if this atrocity doesn't end, can we hide in the next life?"
"If we hide, must our children also hide and suffer?"
"And many of you are only children in your families, and you will have to carry on the family tradition and have children in the future."
"Do you want your wives and children to suffer this pain as well?"
"So, I've said enough."
As soon as Su Jinse finished speaking, the Mohist disciples all looked at each other in dismay.
Even though there were a thousand words to say, they were all swallowed back down.
Because they knew that Su Jinse was right, and that everyone had to succumb to reality.
At this moment, Sun Qiang said loudly from behind Su Jinse, "What Miss said is exactly what I wanted to say."
"We, the Mohists, should always be united and never betray each other."
"The young lady's actions were truly out of necessity, to save the lives of the Mo family and others."
"Please refrain from any objections."
These Mohist disciples finally stopped.
Tang Yu then sat down next to Su Jinse.
Su Jinse looked at Tang Yu, her tone still as indifferent as ever.
"Grand Preceptor, I am well aware of your purpose in coming here today."
"However, I still want to ask the Grand Preceptor a question: is it necessary for all Mohist disciples to serve the Qin state?"
"Is it possible to release them and let them become one of the ordinary people?"
Tang Yu shook his head: "Of course not, after all, they have seen my face."
"And my plan with Xiang Yu is still in progress. If they expose my plan, who in your Mohist school can take responsibility?"
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Sun Qiang opened his mouth, but was utterly speechless.
He really wanted to suggest that Tang Yu wear a mask himself, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
Su Jinse nodded: "The Grand Preceptor's concerns are valid."
"However, I would like to ask the Grand Preceptor, since you wish to have the Mohist school serve you, what about the previous conflicts between the Mohist school and the Qin state..."
Tang Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm in charge of His Majesty's side. All conflicts will be wiped clean, and past grievances will be forgiven."
Hearing this, Su Jinse nodded again.
"If that's the case, then how long does the Grand Preceptor intend for the Mohists and others to serve the Qin state?"
"And whether the work I do every day is actually suitable for me."
"The Mohists would never become executioners in the hands of your Qin state, helping you to commit further bloodshed."
