Chapter 211 Test
Mo Zichen had already guessed this. Otherwise, why would this person risk bringing him from the carriage and go to great lengths to modify his body? He was a little worried when he didn't know the person's purpose, but now that he knew, he felt at ease.
"I will definitely not let them get away with this."
"The war in the Western Frontier is about to begin. They have already set off from the capital and are marching at full speed. They should arrive in three or four days. What are your thoughts?" the man in black asked calmly, as if testing him.
This time, Mo Zichen didn't answer directly. He thought for a while and instead asked, "Can you tell me what my current situation is?"
A flash of admiration crossed the man in black's eyes. Despite his significantly improved abilities, he remained grounded and did not act rashly or rush to seek revenge.
He was relieved, so his tone naturally softened. "Your mother and sister are gone, and the carriage and everyone on it were burned to a crisp, unrecognizable. Now, in everyone's eyes, you are a dead man."
Mo Zichen trembled with rage, his fists clenched tightly. "Fine, killing them isn't enough, they even want to grind their bones to dust! This is simply outrageous!"
Mo Ziyuan, Lin Xin, you just wait!
Seeing that the groundwork had been laid, the man in black patted him reassuringly on the shoulder, "A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. I can help you with whatever you want to do."
Mo Zichen turned around with bloodshot eyes and looked at him without saying a word, as if trying to see through his eyes to understand the true thoughts in his mind.
Staring at him like that, the man in black felt a chill run down his spine and regretted once again killing the young man with a single blow. No one knew whether his transformation had been completely successful.
In truth, Mo Zichen was simply weighing the pros and cons in his mind. This incident had made him grow up rapidly, and he would no longer easily believe what anyone said to him, including the person in front of him who had brought about so many changes in him. The only thing between people is the exchange of interests. There must be something about him that this person could invest in, nothing more.
"A dead person?" The red in Mo Zichen's eyes slowly faded as he murmured the three words repeatedly. Then he suddenly looked up and asked, "Can I know your identity? It doesn't need to be too specific, just a general idea will do."
He knew his question was presumptuous, so he added another sentence.
This can be considered a test, to see where this person's bottom line really lies.
The man in black was genuinely surprised this time. Ever since he learned about the child's relationship with him, he had been secretly investigating him and found out that the child was just a spoiled brat from his family, with a ridiculously naive mind and methods, and an incredibly narrow-minded perspective.
But today's Mo Zichen impressed him. Although this little test was still not enough in his eyes, it was already a great improvement.
A secret sense of pride rose within the man in black, and he said calmly, "I am someone who can help you; I can do it if you want."
"Really?" Mo Zichen was still not experienced enough, and his emotions were quickly revealed. He didn't really want to know the identity of the man in black. He was well aware that the other party would definitely not tell him, so he just wanted to know to what extent the man would help him.
"Ah."
"Why...why did you help me? What do you want from me?" This was the question that Mo Zichen couldn't understand the most. Even if he had a grudge against Mo Ziyuan, it wouldn't be difficult for him to take revenge, given his methods.
"You don't need to know that right now," the man in black said firmly.
"Alright then," I'll see if you can really keep your word. "I want to learn military strategy, I want to go to the Western Rong, I want to defeat Mo Ziyuan on the battlefield honorably, and then kill him to avenge my mother and sister!"
The man in black felt he was being a bit too hasty. “I can arrange that for you, but Mo Ziyuan’s military strategy, though not yet fully developed, is already in its rudiments. It’s not so easy to deal with. And do you think you can learn enough to defeat him in such a short time?” “Although I haven’t studied these things before, I know that mastering military strategy requires real combat experience. So I want to go to the Western Frontier to learn as I go, until I’m confident.”
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you. You should take some time to adjust to your body. I'll have someone come find you once everything is arranged."
"Thank you!"
The man in black turned and left, while Mo Zichen lay back down on the bed. The two of them ignored the young man's body still lying in the room until someone came in and carried him away.
Once the footsteps outside the door could no longer be heard, Mo Zichen covered his eyes with trembling hands. His previous composure was merely a facade. How could he not be afraid of being in a room with a corpse? But he knew he couldn't show it.
From this moment on, he had no way out. He had to keep pushing forward and make the men in black see his value. He was afraid that he would become a useless pawn.
The man in black kept his promise, and the next day someone came to teach Mo Zichen. There were martial arts instructors and instructors who taught military strategy.
After five days of this surprise attack, when news of Mo Ziyuan and Lin Xin's arrival in the Western Frontier arrived, the men in black came to Mo Zichen's place.
"How's your study going?" The first thing the man in black asked Mo Zichen, whose eyes had clearly changed.
"It's acceptable," Mo Zichen replied. He felt he had learned a lot these past few days, and even thought that in terms of martial arts alone, he should be able to compete with Mo Ziyuan.
"That's good. Mo Ziyuan and his party have arrived in the Western Frontier. I'm going to arrange for you to go to the Western Rong right away. Do you know what this trip means?" the man in black asked seriously.
"I know," Mo Zichen replied. This meant he had completely betrayed his country, but what did it matter? As long as he could get revenge, he didn't care about anything else.
"That's good. Get ready, I'll have someone take you there tonight."
"What...what do I need to do when I get there?" Although he had made preparations, he still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. This was a fear of the unknown, and it had little to do with his temperament.
"I've arranged everything. Once we get there, someone will tell you what to do." The man in black naturally wouldn't tell him that this was also part of a test for him. Only after passing the test would he reveal his true identity and relationship with Mo Zichen.
Mo Zichen knew that he wouldn't get any more information by asking, so he nodded to indicate that he understood.
The man in black was very satisfied with his understanding and tact. He not only arranged for people to follow him, but also gave him an extra thousand taels of silver.
Mo Zichen was somewhat touched, but he only felt that this was an investment in himself and did not think about it in any other way.
His military strategy teacher also set off with him, explaining the strategies to him along the way by taking into account the terrain, which made him feel that he had gained a deeper understanding of military strategy.
He even felt that he would have a chance of winning if he were to face Mo Ziyuan now.
