Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1654 The First Night

At dusk, in Daze Mountain, villagers hide outside caves.

Long Qie and Xiaoyaozi are waiting.

Waiting for Zhong Limei to wake up, and also waiting for Gao Jianli and Gao Jianli to come back.

There is nothing to say about Zhong Limei's situation for the time being. Even if he cannot die, there is no telling when he will regain consciousness.

If you are lucky, you may wake up in a few hours, but if you are unlucky, you may have to lie down after all the farm work is over.

Dragon and they can only wait.

But something was wrong with Gao Jianli.

Before going there, Gao Jianli had told Xiaoyaozi that he was just going for a brief meeting and would rush back to join them as soon as he gained something.

But now it has been delayed for almost half a day, and they still haven't come back.

"Commander Gao took them there... it seems a little too long." Long Qie frowned and looked up at the sun that was gradually setting in the west, and said in a serious tone.

Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and nodded, "Yes...it seems like there was an accident."

"Well... let me go to Lieshan Hall." After Long Qie pondered for a while, he picked up his spear and was about to leave.

However, Xiaoyaozi stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't be anxious. The situation is unclear now, and we should not rashly divide our troops."

There were four of them, and if they stayed together, even a farmer would not be able to do anything about it.

Splitting the troops into two groups in order to save people was already a risk. Now that the situation of Gao Jianli and Big Iron Hammer is unclear, they cannot act arbitrarily without authorization, let alone continue to divide their own forces.

When something happened to Gao Jianli and the others, 80% of them were involved with Tian Hu and others. It was hard to say what role Long Qi could play alone.

If Xiaoyaozi were with him, Zhong Limei would have no one to look after him.

This imperial officer may still be of great use to them and cannot be given up easily, not to mention the extra importance Long Qie places on him.

It's very embarrassing.

When Long Qijing was reminded by Xiaoyaozi, he could only suppress his anxious heart, frowned and paced back and forth, and said in a deep voice:
  "...I'll first send my brothers to check out the situation near Lieshan Hall and see if we can get some useful information."

"That's all we can do, it's better to be safe."

Xiaoyaozi had no good solution at this time.

Compared with Long Qie, he was confident that he could go deep into the tiger's den alone while ensuring safety, but he could not leave hastily.

Zhong Limei here is just hanging on for a breath. It seems stable, but something could happen at any time.

If he left, Zhong Limei might die on the spot if something went wrong.

In short, there are all kinds of constraints.

The most important thing is that the situation is unclear. If it is determined that Gao Jianli's side has a big problem and urgently needs support, then he can simply give up on Zhong Limei's side.

No matter how important an imperial officer is, he is not as important as his teammates.

Long Jie didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly left to find the people from the Tenglong Legion who were standing guard around.

........................

At the same time, on the outskirts of Daze Mountain, Zuimeng Tower.

Yingbu stood outside this world-famous romantic place with his relatives on his back, with a look of anxiety and impatience that made others think he was some impatient... er, sexual Those in need of services.

Well... Zuimeng Tower is not open yet.

After all, it is a romantic place, and like Zilanxuan, it only opens after dark.

If it were normal, people might have arrived by now, but there has been a lot of unrest in Dashan Mountain recently, and everyone's interest in comforting the lost girl has also waned a lot.

In Zuimeng Building, in Lian Yi's room.

Lian Yi, who was wearing a slim blue skirt, was sobbing softly beside the bed. Lying on the bed was Lian Xin, a girl who was still in a coma.

The reason she cried was naturally because Ji Bu told her Lian Xin's identity.

After wandering alone in the world for so many years, Lian Yi was so excited to be reunited with his relatives again. Naturally, Lian Yi was indescribably excited.

What made her even more uncontrollable was that she finally reunited with her long-lost sister, but immediately learned the cruel reality that her sister was terminally ill. It had to be said that it was quite torturous.

In fact, before Ji Bul came, he considered whether to conceal the truth first to avoid Lian Yi being too worried, but he gave up in the end.

After all, what if... Of course, it's just what if, that is to say, Lian Xin is not saved. If Lian Yi doesn't know everything until her sister is about to die, or even after her death, I'm afraid he will be even more cruel to her.

The lesser of two evils, it's better to just make it clear.

Then the situation became what it is now.

Ji Bu stood aside, a little embarrassed. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say. He just stood there and felt stupid.

But it's not his fault. Over the years, he has always been uncomfortable speaking in front of Lian Yi, and he is far less free and natural than when facing other people.

At this time, Hua Ying, who was wearing a gold-rimmed red dress, walked in hurriedly and was still a little confused when she saw the scene in front of her.

She actually didn't know what happened, but someone informed her that there was something wrong with Lian Yi, so she came over to take a look.

Of course, she knew about Ji Bu's arrival, so she originally thought that her inexperienced brother was causing trouble.

Hmm... Hua Ying, the oiran of Zuimeng Tower, is also in charge.

She was very close to the Imperial General Wang Li and was an important member of the Shennong Hall. At the same time, she was also the sister of Ji Bu, an old Chu general and Jiangyang thief.

The reason why Ji Bu could reluctantly agree to Lian Yi's stay in Zuimenglou was because the boss here was his own sister.

The two siblings look quite similar, so one boy has a bit of a female look, and the other girl has a bit of a masculine look.

Huaying did not rush to find her good sister to ask about the situation. Instead, she pulled Ji Bu aside and asked in a low voice, "What did you do? And what's going on with that girl?"

"She is Lian Yi's younger sister, the second daughter of Lord Chang Ping, Your Highness Lian Xin. Before, I..." Ji Bu quietly explained the cause and effect to his sister in a low voice.

After Huaying heard the cause and effect, she couldn't help but feel emotional.

Unexpectedly, everything would develop so dramatically.

The former close comrades-in-arms finally parted ways after the fall of their home and country, and they never interacted with each other until death. However, they happened to be assigned to protect Chang Pingjun's two daughters who were accidentally separated and wanted to meet but could not get them.

In the end, they both reunited because of this farm chaos... although their respective reunions brought with them some problems.

But if we can meet again, there is still hope for everything.

"What are you going to do next?" Hua Ying asked in a low voice.

"I plan to go to Kuei Hall with Yingbu and try to get the medicine from Tian Mi." Ji Bu replied in a low voice, "And... we may have to stop the armored door's celebration first to prevent him from messing up. Come."

"That woman Tian Mi is difficult to deal with. You must be careful. As for the person from the Armored Sect... do you think he is trustworthy?" Hua Ying then asked.

"Hmm..." Ji Bu pondered for a moment, then nodded, "He probably has no ill intentions towards the Lianyi sisters, but he seems to be acting impulsively and out of control, which makes me a little unsure of his thoughts." Meeting his younger brother Having said that, Hua Ying didn't waste much time and finally warned, "Be careful, I will take good care of Lian Yi and the others."

"Then Lian Yi is now..." Ji Bu looked at Lian Yi who was lying beside the bed, still sobbing, and said with some embarrassment.

"Don't worry about it here. Go get down to business. I will take care of it."

When Ji Bu saw his sister starting to chase people away, he had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

Huaying then came to Lianyi's side, put her arms around the girl she had taken care of for many years and regarded as her biological sister, and whispered comfort.

Lian Yi is obviously also very dependent on Huaying, who is like an eldest sister to her, and more like a mother. She leans on the other person's shoulder, and her tears flow more violently.

Huaying caressed Lian Yi's back with a warm smile, slowly comforting Lian Yi.

Outside Zuimeng Tower, Ji Bu and Ying Bu met again.

"How's it going?" Yingbu asked dryly with a stinky face.

He seemed to be in a bad mood. On the one hand, he was worried about what would happen during the ceremony, and on the other hand, he felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not suitable for him to reconcile with Ji Bu and become comrades again... Maybe it's not a reconciliation for him now, he's just forced to cooperate out of necessity.

All in all, it's very awkward, and I feel a bit hard to get over it.

"I've given it to Lian Yi. She will take good care of Lian Xin. Don't worry." Ji Bu smiled and patted his old friend on the shoulder, then walked past him and walked forward.

"Where are you going? Looking for the big man wearing armor?" Yingbu turned around and asked.

"No." Ji Bu shook his head, "Let's go directly to Tian Mi."

"If it's faster than the ceremony, find a way to get the medicine first. If it's slower than him, then adapt to circumstances."

Of course, there is another possibility that they are much slower and Tian Mi has already been done by the ceremony.

Then... we can also deal with it in the latter way and adapt to circumstances.

Yingbu frowned when he heard this and asked, "Do you have a way to deal with that woman Tian Mi?"

Ji Bu turned back, pursed his lips at Yingbu and said with a smile, "I think she is interested in you. Maybe when she is happy, she will hand over the medicine directly?"

The veins on Yingbu's forehead throbbed, and he had the urge to hit someone.

Ji Bu ignored him, said hello and walked forward.

Of course he knew that what he said was nonsense, but... what else could he say if it wasn't nonsense?

That woman Tian Mi was just difficult to deal with. Of course, he didn't have any certainty, let alone a solution.

But now that the situation has developed to this point, there is nothing to worry about. Any assurance, plan, and plan are all meaningless. Just do it.

How to do it specifically will depend on the specific situation when the time comes.

Ji Bu knew very well that Yingbu was an even more decisive person than him, and simple concern would lead to chaos. In this case, it would be up to him to cut through the chaos quickly.

When Yingbu saw this, he really had no choice but to follow Jibu.

As for the junior sister mentioned in the ceremony... both of them just ignored it.

I don't know where the other party is hiding, and it takes time to find it. Anyway, it doesn't seem to be a threat, so I just put it aside for now.

Not long after the two left, Mei Sanniang emerged from the woods nearby carrying her scythe. Looking at the direction where Ji Bu and the two disappeared, she muttered:

"The big guy from the Armored Sect... have they met the senior brother?"

"Hmph... I don't know what's going on with Senior Brother, I'm almost suffocating!"

"Ugh……"

For Mei Sanniang, who has a bellicose and impatient temper, being a bodyguard, a job that requires patience, is really a physical and mental torture.

When Lian Xin was caught, she thought it was a miracle that she could not resist and did not take action.

As a result, she has to continue squatting outside Zuimeng Building, unable to leave even an inch... The key is that the farmer's fight is fierce now, and it makes her feel a little itchy.

But no matter how itchy she was, she had to endure it. During this ceremony, she had been repeatedly ordered to ensure the safety of her target.

Mei Sanniang has a wild temperament and does not like to be obedient. She behaves very casually when facing Gu Xundu, and she is also dissatisfied with her senior brother Dianqing.

But after all, they were brothers and sisters who had grown up together. She didn't have to listen to Dianqing's orders, but she had to help Dianqing's requests.

………………

At night, in the forest outside Daze Mountain.

Bai Tu, who had escaped from the military camp, was running for his life in the forest.

He said he was running wildly, but he actually ran faster than others.

Ever since he escaped, he has been running away at the risk of his life, running and resting all the way, and struggling all afternoon, but now he really has no strength left.

His whole body was hunched over like an octogenarian, his legs were shaking uncontrollably, and when he breathed, the rise and fall of his chest was almost greater than the range of his legs.

However, even though he was half exhausted, Bai Tu felt quite happy in his heart, because it seemed that he had completely escaped the pursuit of the Shadow Guards - he did not see any pursuers, but simply speculated that Zhang Han sent people to pursue them. , but he ran too fast and the other party failed to catch up.

In fact, on two trees not far behind him, there were two shadow secret guards squatting on each side, following him all the way.

This is not over yet. Behind the secret guard, there is Wei Zhuang Gai Nie silently watching everything develop.

"Zhang Han will send secret guards to follow this loser. It seems that he pays the same attention as us." Relying on his strength, Wei Zhuang dared to speak while following him.

Gai Nie echoed in a deep voice, "There should be something gained tonight."

At this time, Bai Tu, who had been running in one direction since leaving the camp, seemed to have finally arrived at his destination - a huge rock.

He was almost unsteady and looked happy to have escaped. He threw himself on the stone and groped around, as if he was looking for something.

Soon, he found what he was looking for, an exquisite miniature spider pattern, in other words, the symbol of a snare.

It seems that the relationship between Bai Tu and Luo Wang is not as close as usual.

As a waste, he can be in this position because of his great efforts.

After discovering the sign and confirming that he was looking for the right place, Bai Tu immediately slid down the slope behind the rocks, and then ran forward for a short distance. He completely lost all strength and fell to the ground. Finally a pair of familiar boots appeared.

The Luowang killer, wearing Qin army armor and a hollow belt, was standing on a stone in front of Bai Tu, with his back to him.

Seeing the savior, Bai Tu, who had no strength at all, immediately felt a surge of energy. He got up in an instant, knelt down to his subordinates, and kept kowtowing for help:

"Mr. Shulu, Mr. Shulu, you must save me this time!"

"Save me, Mr. Lu, please!"
