Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1049 Nightfall (two in one)

In the evening, Master Ban held out his round belly and leaned alone on the volleying plank on the mountain wall to enjoy the sunset.

But judging from the worried look on his face and the way he sighed, he probably wasn't thinking about the scenery.

At this time, a hand suddenly patted Master Ben's shoulder. He subconsciously turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see anyone.

Then a voice came from the other side, "Old man Ben, why are you looking so sad?"

This frivolous person didn't have a formal frivolous tone. Master Ben knew who it was immediately without even looking.

In the entire Mo family, only Thief Bones and Thieves Zhi spoke in such an unstable tone.

"Xiao Zhi, if you don't go and do business, why are you looking for an old man like me?" Master Ban responded angrily.

"Who is looking for you!" Pirate Zhi first denied Master Ban's statement, and then explained, "You are standing on the roadside. I happened to pass by here. Can I not say a few words when I see you?"

"As for business, I'm pretty busy right now, otherwise I wouldn't have time to chat with you."

At this time, Big Iron Hammer's broad body also approached with dull footsteps. When he saw Master Ban and Bandit Zhi, he immediately scratched his smooth scalp and said, "What are you two doing here?"

Master Ban also has no temper towards these two people. One is a libertine who is not afraid of anything you say.

He could only respond numbly, "I was looking at the scenery, and Xiao Zhi came to disturb me."

"Who bothered you?" Thief Zhi hurriedly shouted, pointed at himself, and asked the big hammer to reason, "I think he is in a bad mood, so I just came here to care."

"Oh." Big Iron Hammer simply chose the two people to believe, and then ranked them according to their importance, giving priority to Master Ban's mood issues.

"So, Mr. Ben, why are you looking so grim?"

"I...huh..." Master Ban, who claimed to be a high-tech talent, was unable to argue with a gangster and a stupid big man, so he simply spread his arms and explained clearly, "I'm just a little worried about those people in Wei Zhuang."

"In the past few days, people who are fighting against the quicksand seem to be doing nothing, which is worrying."

When he heard that this was it, Big Iron Hammer immediately grinned contemptuously, "Hey, what are you worried about, old man, I'm on duty?"

"Is our machine city any other ordinary place? No matter how powerful Wei Zhuang is, what can he do to the machine city?"

"We can't just wait for the Qin army to arrive."

Thief Zhi also echoed, and said carelessly, "What Big Hammer said makes sense, what do you have to worry about?"

"The environment around our city is so difficult for me to walk in and out, let alone other people?"

"Besides, Tomorrow Juzi will return to Guancheng with a group of members of the Anti-Qin Conference. Are you still worried that Wei Zhuang can turn the world upside down during the whole night?"

After listening to the two men's persuasion, Master Ban did not feel at ease. He rubbed his eyebrows and replied feebly, "If only it could be as simple as you two said."

"I always have a bad feeling..."

The latter sentence was also the root cause of his uneasiness today.

For some reason, he just felt uneasy and felt something would happen.

Big Hammer You didn't think it was anything. He smiled heartily and slapped Master Ben on the shoulder with his right hand, giving the old man a staggering pat. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about anything else. There are things everywhere within a few dozen miles around the government city." It’s a trap, you can’t even trust your own craftsmanship, can you?”

"I can't tell you two any clues!" Master Ban rubbed his shoulders, feeling increasingly speechless. After casually saying a few words, he turned around and left unhappy.

Sledgehammer put on a puzzled expression, scratched his head and sent Master Ben away.

"What's going on? Isn't he very excited when the machine technique is mentioned?"

Thief Zhi also looked confused and shrugged helplessly, "Who knows what's going on..."

Then he kindly reminded Sledgehammer, "I can't say that Old Man Ban has no concerns. Please pay more attention when patrolling tonight. If there is any problem, ask for help in time. Don't fight alone."

Sledgehammer waved his hand indifferently, "Don't worry about me, there will definitely be no problem!"

Thief Zhi opened his mouth, but he didn't say any ominous and frustrating words.

To be honest, he thought it was nothing before and just thought it was Master Ben's unfounded worries. However, after hearing such confident words from Big Hammer, his mind was a little shaken.

It feels very unreliable.

"I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I have to go and lead the patrol." Big Iron Hammer didn't pay attention to Thief Zhi's expression. He waved and left.

Thief Zhi, who was left alone like this, looked at the figure of the big hammer and shook his head speechlessly, "I feel like you are not normal."

"One is blindly confident, the other is unfounded worry...sigh..."

………………

Outside the city of Guan, on a hilltop among the Huai River mountains, the right guardian of the Yin-Yang family, the Moon Goddess, stood standing under the moonlight with fluttering robes. The bright white light lingered around her, which set off her figure quite a bit. A sense of holiness.

It fits the temperament of the Imperial Protector with the style of a magic stick.

Not far behind her, four beauties, Young Master Siming and Ehuang Nvying, stood side by side. Although there were no unnecessary movements or expressions, they inexplicably gave people a sense of competition and beauty.

Five beauties, large and small, with different postures, against the night scene, form a beautiful picture, enough to make anyone - perhaps mainly men - feel relaxed and happy.

Unfortunately, the more times this happens, the more people tend to ruin the atmosphere.

"After searching for a long time, it turns out that you are hiding so far away!" An untimely and lazy voice suddenly inserted into the painting, disrupting all the atmosphere.

Looking towards the direction from which the sound came, Gu Xun had quietly appeared on the top of the mountain.

The four young masters, Siming and Ehuang Nvying, saw Gu Xun again. They had different expressions and reactions, but they all behaved and did not speak.

Only Yue Shen turned around calmly, faced Gu Xun, and asked softly, "I remember that the national master seemed to have his own things to do when he came to the city, right?"

The implication was to tell Gu Xun to go about his business quickly and not to disturb them here.

Gu Xun was very happy when he heard this, spread his hands, and replied with a smile, "I have something to do, but isn't it all settled?"

"That's why I'm looking for some acquaintances to chat with."

"..." Moon God's forehead twitched. After a moment of silence, he controlled his voice and said, "I still have things to do, so the Imperial Master..."

Luna has given up on trying to be tactful towards Gu Xun, and has directly pointed him out to see him off.

Gu Xun chuckled, waved his hands and said, "Don't you think it's ridiculous to say this?"

"There is a straight-line distance of more than 40 miles from the city. What can you do at such a distance?" "Standing on the top of the mountain and drinking the northwest wind?"

"Or is it that your eyesight is now so good that you can see thousands of miles away?"

"Huh..." Yueshen steadied his chest and replied in as calm a tone as possible, "This is the top secret of the Yin and Yang family, so I don't need to worry about it, Master Luo."

Hearing this answer, Gu Xun showed a knowing smile, while Yueshen's eyes flickered, knowing that he had made a mistake.

"The top secret of the Yin Yang family..." Gu Xun asked playfully, "I remember, didn't you drop by to help out?"

"Why, did you add some other work temporarily?"

Luna, who had made a gaffe for a moment, did not panic, and replied calmly as usual, "If the Imperial Master is interested in these matters, you can ask His Majesty the First Emperor."

Gu Xunshi smiled and waved his hand in denial, "No, no, no, I don't have to know what you want to do, I'm just curious, do you know what you want to do?"

"Does the Imperial Master think I'm a fool?" Yue Shen replied with a nonchalant reply.

"Hey!" Gu Xun grinned and pointed in the direction of the machine city, "Looking at your target from a distance of dozens of miles, you don't think there is a big difference between you and a fool, do you?"

"..."

Luna secretly bit her silver teeth, her eyelids shook unconsciously, and her voice became a little heavier uncontrollably, "We are just watching here, not trying to observe the situation in the machine city here! "

"The National Preceptor should know very well that with the level of defense in the city, even if we get close to a certain extent, we still won't be able to get any information!"

"Really?" Gu Xun responded with a faint smile, and then said, "The problem is that if you want to achieve something, if you don't collect intelligence, just forming a Yuexia emo group here is useless!"

"You don't think that your side's strength has definitely defeated the Mo family, right?"

Luna didn't know what the emo in Gu Xun's mouth meant, but she thought it was definitely not a good word, so she simply ignored it.

"Headmaster Donghuang has pointed out the way. We don't need to do those unnecessary things anymore. We can only wait for our fate to come." Moon God turned around and looked at the dark scenery beyond the mountain top again, his eyes The dim light flickered uncertainly, and he responded to Gu Xun with words full of magic stick style.

Hearing this, Gu Xun showed an unknown smile, "Are you sure... your Donghuang headmaster can really point out the way?"

"I see that he is dressed in black all day and night. He is not qualified to be a light. He still wants to guide the way?"

"Huh..." Regarding Gu Xun's headless chatting style, one kick in the sky and one on the ground, Yueshen was really powerless and could only sigh helplessly.

Just letting the other party talk nonsense for a long time, he really forced her to say a lot of questions that she didn't intend to respond to at the beginning.

This is also the inevitable result. Unless she doesn't talk to him at all, she will definitely get in.

The problem is that we can’t help but talk to each other!
  First, Gu Xun’s identity is there.

He acted aloof with the imperial master, but accidentally lit a sky lantern and put it in the sky to appreciate the coldness of high places.

Of course Luna is not worried about being lit as a sky lantern, but she cannot guarantee that other members of the Yin Yang family will not be affected and become innocent cannon fodder.

Although she doesn't care about the life and death of the Yin Yang family, but...who knows whether it will affect Donghuang Taiyi's plan.

Now, she is probably the person who values ​​this plan the most besides Donghuang Taiyi and Ying Zheng.

Secondly, it is a matter of personal will.

Although she didn't want to, Luna had to admit that she was indeed willing to talk to Gu Xun...

She doesn't want to think too much about why, in short...that's it.

Of course, this kind of thing is also a two-way choice.

Gu Xun was also happy to flirt with this sister-in-law when he had nothing to do. Otherwise, why would he run over here?

He basically knew the purpose of Luna and the others, so there was no particular need to follow them.

Returning to the topic of the book, Moon God sighed feebly in his heart, and then gave his own response, "Headmaster Donghuang has his own judgment, and we only need to obey his orders."

"Then I can only wish you success." Gu Xun narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile.

Looking at this smiling face that was no different from the one he met every day, Yue Shen didn't know why, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

………………

The Mohist government built a city with a dense forest behind it.

The main structure of the government city is built between the mountains. The terrain changes frequently and complexly, and the passages are overlapping and very convoluted. Only the back mountain area is relatively flat and clear at a glance.

However, not many places in this area are actually used, and most of them belong to the wilderness mountains and forests outside the urban area.

Although there are various agency checkpoints used to isolate the connection between the back mountain wilderness forest and the main urban area of ​​​​the agency city, and few people can bypass the agency city to reach here, it still cannot change that this is one of the weakest links in the entire agency city's defense network. One reality.

For safety reasons, the Mo family would arrange for people to patrol the area every night during this period to avoid sneak attacks by the enemy.

The effect of this move was immediate, and the number of wild animals in the back mountain was reduced immediately. When the patrolling people were bored, they would inevitably pack some game and have a small outdoor self-service barbecue to fill their stomachs and relieve their boredom.

However, although the Mohist disciples all feel that patrolling the back mountains is boring and always like to find some free time to spend time, they are still dedicated to their work on the whole, and the patrol tasks every night are completed with quality and quantity.

As the leader, Sledgehammer would come to personally carry out this task, which also shows that they have never taken it lightly.

It's just... Nowadays, the interior of the government city is empty and there is a serious shortage of manpower. Of course, not many people can be allocated to patrol the back mountain. Moreover, the back mountain area is not actually large, and there are not many people needed.

Therefore, there were only two Mohist disciples patrolling with Big Iron Hammer.

Tonight's night sky is extremely beautiful. The moon and stars are sparse, and a huge white disk hangs in the sky, quietly spreading its brilliance from the sun to the ground.

However, the starry sky is beautiful, but the weather is not.

It was cloudy tonight and the mountain wind was strong. The moon had not shown its face long before it was blocked behind by a thick cloud that came from nowhere, covering it tightly, preventing any light from shining through.

Under the night sky, the mountain behind Guancheng City also lost all its brilliance and protection in an instant, and fell into a dead darkness.

In this extreme darkness, only the torches in the hands of the Big Hammer trio gave out a slight glimmer of light, bringing a drop in the bucket of warmth.

　The temperature dropped a bit, which was beyond my expectation.

　　Cold, dizzy...

　　Please remember to wear clothes.
