Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1659 End of Night
  Songhai, in the small courtyard of Guxun.

Gu Xun and Zhang Liang were still drinking tea and chatting.

Sometimes, the team still needs someone like Han Fei to prevent everyone from having a boring party.

The two of them chatted without drinking or eating. They just sat here chatting with each other over a pot of tea.

"Is there any news from Dongjun?" Zhang Liang asked.

Gu Xun shook his head, "Previous information said that the farmer's family is still relatively restrained and conflicts have not completely broken out. Zhang Han has just rushed over."

"But... news of Zhang Han's losses should come soon."

"General Zhang Han..." Zhang Liang pondered for a moment after hearing the words, then nodded and agreed, "Sometimes he is too strict in his affairs."

The Shadow Guard is an espionage organization, so it's definitely nonsense to say how fair and aboveboard it acts.

But in comparison, if he is taller than a short man, the Shadow Guard, or Zhang Han, is very particular about his work.

First, Zhang Han's personality and style are relatively upright, not pedantic, but not extreme either.

Secondly, the nature of the work of the Shadow Guard is rather special. The most important duty is to protect the safety of the royal family, not to conspire.

This will naturally make Zhang Han suffer a big loss when faced with a trap that uses all possible means and does not follow the rules at all.

Not to mention, at this time, Dongjun Luowang has far more manpower than the Shadow Secret Guards.

"Anyway, you won't lose anything, but there are a lot of extra helpers, so there shouldn't be any big problems." Gu Xun said while holding the teacup and swinging his arms casually.

Zhang Liang nodded slightly and continued, "The power of Dongjun Luowang is still increasing, and the situation of General Zhang Han may further deteriorate."

"Well..." Gu Xun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The manpower in the Songhai area has begun to move further to Dongjun. Zhao Gao should not stay much longer."

"It's probably time for him to leave in the next two days."

"Does the Mo family have any ideas?"

Gu Xun planned to clean up the traps in the Songhai area. He asked Zhang Liang to help him and asked the Mo family if they were interested in getting involved.

Zhang Liang touched the side of his face and replied with a smile, "Master Ban prefers to be conservative. After all, Brother Gu, you, or the fighting between quicksand and net, no matter what the outcome is, it is not a bad thing for the Mo family. .”

"Now the Mohist family is not powerful enough, but the empire still has sufficient power in the Songhai area, and he does not want to take risks."

"It's time to let it go." Gu Xun said with a smile.

Zhang Liang pursed his lips helplessly and continued, "However, the other commander who stayed behind in Songhai - Miss Xue Nu is much more radical. She is more inclined to cooperate with you, Brother Gu."

Of course, it was difficult for Zhang Liang to tell whether Xue Nu was willing to cooperate to deal with Luo Wang, or... she just wanted to cooperate.

"So what's the final result?" Gu Xun asked with interest.

"Master Xu is busy with other things. Pirate Zhi is busy observing the situation in the mirage every day and preparing to rescue people, so... Master Ban agreed." Zhang Liang replied with a smile, "Only Miss Snow Girl can take action. Master Ban is relatively speaking It’s quite reassuring.”

"Don't worry, Xue Nu won't be stabbed in the back by me, right?" Gu Xun shook his head and laughed, "Forget it, let them do whatever they want, as long as they can help a little."

If most of Liusha's power had not been restrained by other things, he was short of manpower, and needed the help of the Mo family to block off the Songhai area, Gu Xun would not have tried to join forces with the Mo family at all.

"By the way, Zifangyou knows where Chu Nangong is hiding again?" Gu Xun suddenly changed the topic and asked, "I showed my face before, but then I hid and disappeared."

"Not to mention, this old guy is really good at hiding."

"Haha..." Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "It seems that Senior Nangong really doesn't like to face you, Brother Gu."

"So I said this old guy is clearly discriminating against me. I have never bullied him. Why is he avoiding me?"

"Perhaps it's because Brother Gu... you're so powerful." Zhang Liang suppressed a smile and replied, "I heard from someone from the Xiang clan that he once gave instructions to General Long Qie to get together with Feng Lin. The Four Generals of the Volcano."

"Now that Brother Gu has intervened, I'm afraid that Feng Lin Shan Huan won't be able to get it all together."

After Zhang Liang learned about this, he guessed the approximate candidate for 'Feng Linhuoshan' without much effort.

Among them, ‘Lin Huoshan’ has nothing to say. They are all inextricably linked to Chu State, except for this ‘wind’.

If he had followed his original life trajectory - although he was loyal to the empire, he was never appreciated, had no hope of promotion, and had to witness the ruthlessness and cruelty of the imperial army, I'm afraid... there is no guarantee that his mind would not change.

But now, there is nothing more to say, just report to the king on the Golden Stage and that's it.

Hearing this, Gu Xun grinned and replied meaningfully, "Now...it's not necessarily possible that we can't get together the 'Fenglin Huoshan'!"

"Ah?" Zhang Liang was a little confused.

It's not that I'm wondering about Gu Xun's response, but looking at him, he seems to have known about 'Feng Lin Huoshan' for a long time.

Apart from him, it seems that only the Xiang family and the top brass of the Mo family know about this matter... Who became the second or fifth son before him?

………………

Dongjun, Daze Mountain, on the edge of the cliff.

After a very intense but average fighting, as expected... all the Shadow Guards were killed.

On the cliff, the corpses of Shadow Guards were lying everywhere. There were various ways of death.

Of course, there are also snare killers who also died beside these shadow guards.

At a rough glance, the battle loss ratio between the two sides was probably... around 1.5:1. The Shadow Guard's casualties were still much higher than those of Luo Sheng.

This is also normal. The average level of killers who are all above the earth level is still slightly higher than that of the Shadow Guards, and they also have a numerical advantage.

The most important point is that the leader of Luo Wang is Shu Lu, and the Shadow Secret Guard is Zhang Han.

Shu Lu's personal strength is stronger than Zhang Han.

This is fatal to the situation of the war.

Now, only the leader of the Shadow Guards, Zhang Han, is left. He is surrounded by Luo and the remaining Luowang killers on the edge of the cliff. He is in a dilemma and is in danger.

Zhang Han had a cold face and raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, but the hand holding the sword could not stop trembling - he could hardly hold the sword.

In fact, he had already considered that Luo Wang would encounter resistance, and also considered that Luo Wang was stronger than the Shadow Guards, so he arranged for other back-ups - the troops stationed in Dongjun.

But the movement of the army was too loud, so he did not dare to mobilize in advance. Instead, he roughly estimated a time difference and arranged for them to arrive on time.

But now, Dongjun's troops have yet to arrive.

To be honest, Zhang Han doesn't know now whether they arrived late or whether they were late due to his own arrangements.

This kind of thing cannot be arranged very accurately, and he has no time to observe the time now.

Seeing Zhang Han in a state of embarrassment and about to be captured by him, Shuluo shouted proudly, "Zhang Han, I think you might as well plead guilty and surrender."

"Perhaps the Chief of the Central Chefuge will be willing to intercede for you in front of His Majesty."

These words are humiliating. Once the trap is set, it is impossible to survive.

Zhang Han just stared at Shurou and ignored him.

At this time, there was a faint vibration in the air. Zhang Han listened carefully and felt that it seemed to be the movement of a large number of horses galloping.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the garrison from Dongjun arriving.

They finally came, but...it seemed a little late. Shuluo also heard the noise and immediately realized what was going on. He couldn't help laughing, "Zhang Han, Zhang Han, you are indeed a smart man, but it's a pity that you don't have enough time!"

Even if they heard the noise, it would take at least half a stick of incense before the army arrived. This time was enough for him to kill Zhang Han ten times.

When the Dongjun troops came over, all they could get was a pile of corpses.

"The net is all-encompassing!" Facing the full moon in the sky, Zhu Lu began to sing, "People like you will never be able to understand the new world woven by the net!"

"New world...ha!" Zhang Han curled his lips in disdain, opened his mouth and spat out a ball of blood.

"Kill him!" Shurou's eyes turned cold when he saw this, and he immediately ordered.

The three killers rushed forward first, but Zhang Han could no longer even lift his sword.

At this time, the bright white moon in the sky suddenly lost all its brilliance, and the dim gray-white color began to spread rapidly and occupy the entire space.

Everything in the space was stripped of color, turned into the purest gray, and fell into stillness, like a dead zone.

The three fastest killers were a slight exception. They did not fall into stasis, but lost their color and died suddenly on the spot. They all fell to the ground and piled up into a pile of rotten flesh.

The bigger exception is Zhang Han, who still has color and can move freely.

The gray world continued to spread forward, forcing all the killers in Luowang, including Shurou, to the edge of the cliff before stopping.

The edge with a faint blue light is like a mirror, one side is full of life, the other side is dead and dim.

The next moment, a green figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Han.

What was being performed was the Heavenly Sect's unique skill that eclipsed the sky and the earth. Of course the person who came was Xiao Meng who was holding the Qiuli Sword.

"Xiao Meng... how could you?" Zhang Han realized that Xiao Meng was coming as soon as Tiandi Yanshe appeared.

But he really didn't expect that Xiaomeng would show up, even though he had basically confirmed that Xiaomeng came to Dongjun to protect him.

Xiaomeng did not turn to look at Zhang Han, and replied in an indifferent tone, "I am practicing in the mountains. It is quiet and comfortable, but it is really annoying to let people like you disturb the peace."

Shurou also recognized Xiaomeng at this time, and after thinking for a while, he made a decision:
  "withdraw!"

After giving the order, he took the lead and escaped from the side.

After all, Xiaomeng is the head of the Tianzong, and even though he is young, Shulu does not dare to look down on him.

Zhang Han's reinforcements will arrive soon. He cannot delay here. The right way is to get out in time.

As for Zhang Han... the days are long and there is always a chance.

Seeing their leader running away, the remaining snare killers also fled in panic along with the swarm of bees.

Zhang Han couldn't help but ask, "Why let them go?"

"Why should I kill them?" Xiaomeng asked indifferently, "The one who is in conflict with Luo Wang is Quicksand and the Shadow Guard, not me."

"Uh..." Zhang Hanrang choked, "Master Xiaomeng is aloof from the world and is naturally an outsider."

Xiaomeng smiled when he heard this, glanced at the corpses on the ground, and said softly:
  "I thought Gu Xun should have warned you before you came, but it seems he didn't."

Zhang Han explained with a grimace, "Master Imperial Master said, but I underestimated the enemy this time, and..."

Zhang Han originally wanted to explain more, but then he thought it was unnecessary.

"The Shadow Guards suffered heavy losses this time, but this has just begun. The Shadow Guards' blood will not be in vain!"

Xiaomeng didn't react when he heard the words. He turned around and took two steps to stand behind Zhang Han. He raised his hand and flicked Qiuli, and the blue mane of the whisk rested on Zhang Han's shoulder.

Zhang Han looked sideways, a little confused, what does it mean to put the fly whisk on my body?
  Do you think I'm too dirty and should be cleaned up?

"Grandmaster?"

Xiaomeng squeezed the seal with her hand, and the azure blue energy penetrated into Zhang Han's body along the whisk, helping him sort out his inner breath and heal his inner organs.

Taoism is the best at maintaining health. Whether it is the Tian Sect or the Human Sect, it is good at healing injuries and diagnosing diseases.

Xiaoyaozi can help others heal their illnesses, and Xiaomeng can naturally do the same.

Feeling the comfort inside his body, Zhang Han immediately understood what was going on.

Xiaomeng said calmly at this time, "You people have too much greed in your hearts and are trapped in the whirlpool of power and conspiracy. You can never escape these worldly ties."

"The eternal foundation of the empire must not be allowed to be touched by anyone with evil intentions. This is my responsibility!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Meng snorted and mocked, "Gu Xun is boring, and you are not only boring, you are also hopelessly stupid."

Zhang Han was used to Xiaomeng's unforgiving words, so he calmly ignored them, and then asked, "Master, will you help me this time?"

Xiaomeng didn't say anything after hearing this, took out the fly whisk and left directly.

Zhang Han turned around, looked at Xiao Meng who quickly disappeared, and curled his lips helplessly.

If you don't want to help, then you won't. At least, you can help me heal my injuries this time. Why are you so ungrateful?

Xiaomeng doesn't know what Zhang Han thinks, nor does she care about Zhang Han's thoughts.

Even if she is an old acquaintance, as long as she is unhappy and should not give him face, then she will not give him face.

This was the case in ancient times, and so was Zhang Han.

Fortunately, Xiao Meng finally helped him catch his breath and prevent him from being unable to stand.

At this moment, Zhang Han's long-awaited reinforcements finally arrived.

Zhang Han didn't bother to worry about their late arrival. It was pointless. He just ordered them to collect the bodies of the Shadow Guards and hurried back to the camp.

He had to go to treatment quickly, not because he was afraid of death or pain, but because he had no time to delay.

Excessive injuries may affect his next actions, and he must recover as quickly as possible.

Not asking for a cure, but at least making sure the movement is safe.

………………

At the same time, in another part of the forest.

A man whose appearance is exactly the same as his attributes, except that the sword in his hand has changed, is running wildly through the forest. He must be running away.

Then, he was blocked by Gai Nie Weizhuang.

Gai Nie carried the huddled Bai Tu and said indifferently, "We have been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing this, 'Zu Lu' subconsciously took half a step back, as if he was afraid.

It's normal to be afraid. Being blocked by Guigu Zongheng and without reinforcements, few people can help but be afraid.

Wei Zhuang was too lazy to talk nonsense. With a flick of his wrist, the shark's teeth came out of their sheaths and there was a flash of blood.

When the sword light dissipated, he crossed over from the body of 'Shou Lu' and sheathed the sword.

And this Tianzi first-class killer who was secretly trained by Luo Wang suddenly fell to the ground and died suddenly on the spot.
