Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

"Celebration!"

This answer surprised everyone again.

Let’s not talk about how difficult Dian Qing is, why is he here at this moment?
Gao Jianli frowned and recalled, "When we left Daze Mountain before, he should have been with Changping Jun's two women..."

At this point, Gao Jianli wanted to complain about why the farmers did not inform them of Dian Qing's whereabouts in time.

But after turning the idea around in my mind, I gave it up.

This cannot be blamed on the farmers.

Dian Qing is not a member of the Nong family, and the Nong family does not have the ability to keep an eye on him. Moreover, it is impossible for the Nong family to predict in advance that Dian Qing would get involved in today's events, so there is no need to specially notify the Mo family about this.

Seeing Gao Jianli's hesitation in speaking, Wei Zhuang saw through his thoughts and sneered as he explained in advance, "The farmers' reaction was fast enough, otherwise, no one would know where they were except Dian Qing and Ying Zheng himself."

Zhang Liang keenly perceived the slightest movements within Liusha, and thus captured the intervention of Prince Fusu, but the key factor that allowed him to lock on to Dian Qing so quickly was actually the information provided to him by A Yan - Dian Qing disappeared with the sisters Lianyi and Lianxin.

After the Battle of Daze Mountain, Zuimeng Tower was destroyed and Huaying herself almost died.

Although he managed to save his life in the end, he had already become a wanted criminal of the empire and it was impossible for him to show up in public to rebuild Zuimeng Tower. He could only return to Shennong Hall to assist the Zhu family.

Lianyi thus lost her place to stay.

Dian Qing wanted to take the Mi sisters away, but Lianyi was used to following Huaying, and even without Zuimenglou, she still wanted to stay at the farm and refused to leave.

Lianxin naturally wanted to follow her sister. Even if she didn't follow her sister, she would follow Ying Bu. Anyway, it would not be Dianqing's turn.

Dian Qing had no choice but to stay in Daze Mountain for a while after asking Fusu for permission, and prepare to leave after the situation in the farming family was completely stabilized.

Then he received an order to protect Ying Zheng.

Because he couldn't trust the situation inside and outside the farmers' family, Dian Qing specially found another way to accommodate the Mi sisters before leaving. The two sisters were reluctant at first, but after Dian Qing's repeated requests, and considering that it was only temporary, they were convinced.

But the farmers might not notice Dian Qing's disappearance, after all, his whereabouts are usually mysterious and erratic. But the farmers immediately discovered it as soon as the Mi sisters disappeared.

The Zhu family may not be able to think too much about this and ignore it, but A Yan will not take it lightly.

She knew very well that Dian Qing only obeyed the orders of Prince Fusu and her father inside Liusha.

Her father also seemed to want Dian Qing to become a confidant whom Fusu could truly rely on, so later on he basically stopped giving orders to Dian Qing. Occasionally, they were only the most ordinary tasks, and Dian Qing was temporarily brought in to make up the numbers.

Whenever Dian Qing moves, it means Fusu is taking action.

Therefore, she deliberately revealed this news to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang thus locked onto Dian Qing, and then found out the other people sent by Fusu to assist Dian Qing, and finally learned about Ying Zheng's latest movements in a timely manner.

Gao Jianli and others certainly could not have guessed this series of twists and turns through just two sentences from Wei Zhuang, but they could probably understand the logical relationship among them.

Gai Nie made a prompt decision, "Since Dian Qing is the only one here, let's hurry over there as soon as possible. We still have a chance if we catch up with Luo Wang's men."

Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and nodded in agreement, "Yes, quickly."

Wei Zhuang left without saying a word and headed towards a corner of the convoy.

Gao Jianli and others hurried to follow.

………………

"Sir, it seems that the Mohist movement has failed."

On a commanding height beside the valley road, Gu Xun and Bai Feng stood side by side, watching tonight's drama just like Zhang Liang had done before.

Although Gu Xun told Bai Feng that he could move freely, he still found Gu Xun and met up with him as soon as he arrived.

Bai Feng is not stupid either. It is obvious that his boss knows a lot of hidden secrets that he knows. Following him, he will definitely be able to understand the whole story of tonight's drama more easily.

Bai Feng doesn't mind using his brain, but he would rather be lazy if he can avoid thinking.

He was the one talking to Gu Xun just now - based on his recent experience, he had to take the initiative to talk to Gu Xun when something happened, otherwise the other party would not take the initiative to reveal information to him.

Gu Xun smiled upon hearing this and asked, "Having a mount is convenient. You saw a lot of things, didn't you?"

Bai Feng honestly reported the intelligence he had gathered, "The emperor has been moved, and now both the Mohist and Luowang sides are looking for him. If nothing unexpected happens... Zhao Gao's people will be faster."

Although it has been emphasized many times that the scale of the East Tour convoy is particularly large, this largeness is ultimately relative to just one convoy.

After all, it is just a caravan, not a moving city. It's just longer after being stretched out on the road.

If you really want to calculate its area, it is not that big, at least not for a master like Gai Nie.

If Dian Qing and Ying Zheng had been hiding in the carriage, it would be difficult to find them.

This was true for the Mohists, and also for Zhao Gao, who was not trusted by Dian Qing. This was also the reason why the Mohists were confident of getting ahead of Zhao Gao after receiving guidance from Wei Zhuang.

But the fight between Tianming Shaoyu and Dianqing changed this.

Just by the noise of the three of them fighting, anyone passing by would have noticed it.

In this matter, Luowang, who can patrol and search the convoy unscrupulously, has an advantage over Mohism.

If nothing unexpected happens, even if the Mo family has a guide to help, they will at most arrive at about the same time as Luowang, and it is unlikely to be earlier.

If the Mohists had been half a beat slower, there would have been almost no chance of assassinating Ying Zheng.

After listening to Bai Feng's words, Gu Xun asked back with a smile, "Qinglong Plan Qinglong Plan, you see, up to now, the Mo family plan does exist, but where is Qinglong?"

"Qinglong..." Bai Feng didn't understand, and tentatively replied, "It should be the same as the assassination plan of Qin Shi Huang was called the Dragon Slaying Plan. It represents some kind of image, right?"

"The imagery... can't be considered wrong, but it's incomplete." Gu Xun smiled and shook his head, "Actually, it needs to be more specific."

Then he changed the subject and continued, "So far, this drama is only in the prelude stage."

"Prelude?" Bai Feng was even more confused.

He's about to step down, how can this feel like a prelude?
"The Mohists' goal so far has not been to take the emperor's life." Gu Xun explained calmly, "They all know how difficult it is to assassinate Ying Zheng."

"It would be a bit of a loss to spend so many manpower and take such a big risk just to exchange for the illusory probability of less than one in ten thousand."

"Of course, for them, such a low probability might still be worth the risk, but there is definitely no need to come up with a name for it called the Azure Dragon Project - the previous assassination at Yishan did not have any name."

"Qinglong..." After hearing Gu Xun say this, Bai Feng murmured the word again, and finally began to doubt in a certain direction in his heart.

In the martial arts world, when the word "Qinglong" is mentioned, the most frequently mentioned concepts are of course the astrological concepts such as the Four Spirits of Heaven. Apart from this, the only thing that people can think of is the Qinglong, the oldest and most mysterious of the four most famous mechanical beasts of the Mohist school.

Gu Xun continued in a low voice at this time, "The Mohist School spent so many people just to pave the way." "Whether it was the ordinary disciples who disrupted the outer defense line of the convoy at the beginning, or the assassination team that sneaked in later, they were just laying the groundwork."

"Preparation? Why do you want to prepare?" Bai Feng didn't understand why, so he asked directly, "And the price is a bit too high."

In this operation tonight, the Mohist clan will lose at least 40% of their manpower, which is basically more than half, with nearly 2,000 people involved.

Although most of them were provided by farmers, there were also quite a few people from the Mohist School, and they were all elite.

Moreover, one or two thousand people is not a small number for the farmers. It would be difficult for the Mohists to explain the loss of so many in one operation.

As a result, such a huge loss was just a prelude in Gu Xun's words.

"Of course, this is to pave the way for the real climax of the play." Gu Xun crossed his arms and replied calmly, "The Mohist School needs to use these people as a price to ensure that the emperor stays in the right position."

After Gu Xun said this, Bai Feng finally had a rough idea of ​​the truth in his mind.

"This...don't we need to stop them?" Bai Feng asked Gu Xun in shock.

He was not only shocked at what Mo Jia was going to do next, but also shocked that Gu Xun seemed to be willing to let anything happen.

………………

The development of the situation was exactly as Bai Feng, who was in a commanding position and had a comprehensive view of the situation, had expected. Luo Wang was the first to discover that Tianming, Shaoyu, and Dianqing were engaged in a fierce battle.

Tianming, who was defeated by Dian Qing again, stubbornly wanted to launch another attack. However, just as he raised his sword, his face suddenly changed. He immediately gave up his target of Dian Qing, turned around and blocked with his sword, just in time to block a sudden attack from a emerald green broadsword - Zhen Gang, one of the Eight Swords of King Yue.

Shao Yu, who was standing by, warned in a startled voice, "Tianming, be careful!"

Tianming Tongyan felt the strong wind coming from above his head and quickly slid down and bent down.

After Mo Mei rubbed the Zhen Gang to produce a series of sparks, Tian Ming successfully dodged the Chaos Sword that fell from the sky.

Then two chains came through the air in front of his eyes and tied him up at the waist before he could react, making it impossible for him to break free.

Then Zhengang Luanshen immediately gave chase, attacking Tianming's midfielder from both sides.

To make matters worse, while Tianming was attacked from behind, a monster with two swords and a ferocious smile on his face jumped out from in front of him, and the two swords came towards Tianming's neck like scissors.

Being attacked from both sides and unable to move, Tianming could only slash with his sword to repel the monster. He had no way to deal with Zhen Gang and Luanshen behind him.

Fortunately, he was not alone. Shao Yu arrived in time, and the Overlord Spear of Breaking the Formation forcefully broke in from the side, directly deflecting the attacks of the two people.

Tianming took the opportunity to raise his free left hand, and formed a seal with one hand. In less than a breath, he performed the Taoist secret technique of Dream Butterfly Escape, and he suddenly turned into a butterfly and broke free from the chains.

When he reappeared, he was already standing back to back with Shao Yu.

"You can use this trick now without Shi Lan's help?" Shao Yu whispered to Tian Ming in surprise.

"Who knows? Maybe. Anyway, it will work when I get angry." Tianming himself was also confused and bewildered.

But he knew very well that now was not the time to worry about this.

"Don't worry about that for now, we are in big trouble now."

Shao Yu's eyes swept over Zhengang and the others, and his tone became heavier, "Six Sword Slaves... Luowang's No. 1 Killer Group!"

"Find an opportunity to run away."

Shao Yu chose to retreat without hesitation.

No matter how important the assassination of Ying Zheng is, it has to be based on the possibility of success. If the two of them don't get away and run away, they will die at the hands of these six evil gods sooner or later, and there is no way they can even think about the assassination.

Who would do a losing business just to risk their life?

However, at this point, whether they could get away or not no longer mattered.

The six sword slaves had surrounded them by now.

Zhao Gao walked out slowly from the other side, approached the carriage, touched one hand with the other, with a sinister smile on his face, and behind him followed Yanri and the other three.

"I didn't expect that two more mice would sneak in."

Seeing Tianming and the other man in danger, Dianqing's expression fluctuated slightly, and he seemed to want to take action, but after hesitating for a while, he just stopped silently beside the carriage and did not intervene.

At this time, Ying Zheng's deep voice came from the carriage, "Leave him!"

Only the pronouns were mentioned, not the name of the person, but everyone knew that Ying Zheng was referring to Tianming - the fact that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to capture the child was no secret to those present.

Ying Zheng specifically mentioned this, firstly to remind Zhao Gao to be careful of those killers under his command, so as not to kill Tianming without paying attention, and secondly to emphasize to Zhao Gao the importance of capturing Tianming, so as to prevent Zhao Gao from only caring about protecting him and letting him leave.

Zhao Gao certainly understood what Ying Zheng meant. He immediately bowed to the window and said, "I obey your command."

In fact, he didn't really want to capture Tianming alive, or he didn't want to capture Tianming alive with Ying Zheng's knowledge.

But now things have come to this point and he can't just let it go in front of Ying Zheng.

It’s not that he was afraid that Ying Zheng would find out - Ying Zheng really couldn’t tell whether Zhao Gao and the others would let him go or not - but he didn’t dare to continue to provoke Ying Zheng’s emotions at this time.

Although Ying Zheng's voice just now was very calm and sounded fine, based on Zhao Gao's understanding of him, he would not be in a good mood after tonight's farce.

You are already at risk of being the target of anger, so at this time you should avoid behaving incompetently and further irritating the other party.

Zhao Gao responded with orders, and the six sword slaves took action without hesitation.

It was the first time that Tianming Shaoyu witnessed the ability of Luowang's number one killer group. They had such tacit cooperation and were like six people working as one.

Fortunately, the two brothers are not to be underestimated, and they cooperate perfectly. One has great power and unparalleled strength, while the other has a variety of sword techniques and infinite sword energy.

Then...the two of them were injured.

The two of them were much weaker than the duo of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, and had no ability to deal with the combined attack of the Six Sword Slaves.

The first wave of attack just now was just a casual attack by the six sword slaves who came in hastily. Now that the attack has gotten serious, the two of them are not completely defenseless, but they are also struggling and unable to continue.

Six people and seven swords, the two of them really couldn't defend against them.

After just a dozen rounds, both of them were injured.

Although they were only minor skin injuries, this was clearly not a good sign - besides, the fact that their injuries were not fatal was also partly due to the fact that the Six Sword Slaves did not dare to kill anyone.

The emperor wants a living person. (End of this chapter)
