Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 965 Waning Moon Valley

The southern border of Imperial East County, Shimen Gorge and Waning Moon Valley.

This is a naturally dangerous place, surrounded by rolling mountains. Only a canyon in the middle is suitable for pedestrians, and the Waning Moon Valley is the most dangerous section.

There is an abyss between the two sections of the mountain road, and only a narrow natural stone bridge spans it and serves as a thoroughfare. It got its name because the curved shape under the bridge resembles a waning moon.

There is no doubt that this is a perfect place to ambush someone, anyone with a little bit of brains can see this.

Therefore, the leader of the Imperial Dragon and Tiger Cavalry who was ordered to hunt down Gai Nie smartly chose this place to intercept Gai Nie.

Of course, Gai Nie also knew that the terrain of Waning Moon Valley was dangerous, but if he didn't go here, he would have to take Tianming around in a big circle.

After passing through the Waning Moon Valley, they would soon be able to leave Dongjun, leave the dangerous area in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and enter the old Chu land. If they took another detour, more and more imperial soldiers would follow, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

The mountain wind blew, and the sand and stones in the canyon filled the sky. Tianming kept waving his hands, trying in vain to brush away the ubiquitous yellow sand.

At this time, through the wind and sand, he vaguely saw a light flickering on the opposite side.

When he stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, he looked carefully and saw that the wind and sand in the sky had weakened a bit in time, revealing the elite dragon and tiger cavalry troops of the empire on horseback and holding bows on the opposite side of the canyon.

Gai Nie, who was walking a few steps in front of Tianming, stopped and looked at him coldly, without making any hasty reaction.

Tian Ming was startled when he came up, and he took half a step back, but he soon regained his composure and quickly stepped forward to get close to Gai Nie.

Isn't it just chasing troops? I have become accustomed to chasing these days, but this time it is a regular army, and the number is a bit large.

Facing dozens and hundreds of sharp arrows, Gai Nie and Nie looked calm and composed, but on the contrary, they were imperial soldiers, many of whom looked quite nervous.

Facing the former Imperial Sword Master, the famous best swordsman in the world, they couldn't help but be nervous.

Once a fight breaks out, most of them will hate the second most famous sword Yuan Hong.

There are few people who are not afraid of death, and Imperial soldiers are no exception.

The leader of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry waved the sword in his hand and shouted loudly, "These two are felons whom the Prime Minister personally ordered to arrest. They carry important secrets that could endanger the entire empire. No one is allowed to act rashly without my order." !”

Gai Nie frowned at the group of dragon and tiger cavalry, and asked in a low voice, "Tianming, are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid!" Tianming replied nonchalantly.

He's really not afraid, he's not a child talking too hard.

For Tianming, who had seen the Demon God of War, this battle was indeed nothing.

Gai Nie also knew that Tianming was reliable in terms of courage most of the time, so he asked again, "There are so many of them and they don't come over to kill them. Do you know why?"

Tianming replied without thinking, "They are afraid, afraid of you, uncle."

"No..." Gai Nie shook his head slightly, "What they are afraid of is the consequences of becoming my enemy!"

"You must remember the look in their eyes and never forget them."

"why?"

"Because this is the look of a weak person, and you can't be a weak person."

Tianming clenched his fists and said loudly, "I will become a strong man!"

"Become a strong man like you, um... even like Uncle Gu!"

"If you want to become a strong man, don't avoid the fear in your heart." Facing the three hundred dragon and tiger cavalry, Ge Nie is still here to teach the children leisurely.
  "I won't be afraid!" Tianming was also deeply encouraged, completely ignoring the enemy in front of him, and shouted in response.

"Fear is not a weakness, to be strong is to make your enemies more fearful than you are."

The leader of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry on the opposite side couldn't stand it any longer. He swung his long sword, pointed it at Gai Nie, and shouted loudly, "Mr. Gai, you have no way to go anymore. It's better to put down your weapons and give up resistance!"

He tried to make his voice as threatening and persuasive as possible at the same time. "The Prime Minister has an order. As long as you are willing to cooperate, your life and the life of this child will not be endangered." "I hope Mr....bastard!"

Just as the soldier was trying hard to persuade Gai Nie, the arrow from one of his soldiers unfortunately flew out of his hand and shot directly at Gai Nie. The angry leader couldn't help but curse.

However, he was also a decisive person. Knowing that a hard battle was inevitable, he immediately waved his sword and ordered, "hurry up, shoot arrows!"

"Fuck me!"

At the same time, Gai Nie looked at the speeding arrows, his eyes trembled, he took a step forward, and shot out suddenly, facing the setting sun, the Yuanhong sword was unsheathed with a sharp light.

A killing begins.

And nearby, on the cliff that is difficult for ordinary people to climb, two figures, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, stood quietly watching all this.

The short and fat old man wore a black robe with yellow stripes. On his left hand was a wooden mechanical arm. He was none other than Master Ban, one of the leaders of the Mohist family and a master of machine arts.

Standing next to him was the Mohist giant, Yan Dan, who was wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face.

Master Ban looked at the battle below, stroking his beard with his right hand, and said worriedly, "That child...is Xiao Ke's child?"

Yan Dan's bamboo hat shook slightly, indicating the movement of nodding, "That's the child."

"Gane's defection and the empire's pursuit are all because of him."

Master Ban said worriedly, "Big brother, although the three hundred dragon and tiger cavalry cannot threaten Gai Nie, it is still easy for this kid to get into trouble among the rebellious army."

"Why don't we help him?"

"..." Yan Dan hesitated for a moment and replied, "There's no rush yet."

"Gane promised to Xue Nu that he would take good care of this child. The promise of a person like him can only be broken by life and death."

Master Ban asked again, "Then let's let this child follow Gai Nie all the time?"

"Old man, I think we should find a way to bring it back to the machine city."

Yan Dan raised his hand and waved, "I understand your thoughts, but... there is no need to rush."

"The empire originally didn't care about Genie's defection, but after this child appeared... there must be another reason behind everything, but we don't know it yet."

"What is so special about this child? Perhaps it will be easier to find the answer if he is with Gai Nie."

"But... it's too dangerous to follow Gai Nie, the empire's pursuers..." Master Ban hesitated, not very willing to accept Yan Dan's decision.

Hearing this, Yan Dan corrected him, "The danger to this child does not come from Gai Nie, but from himself."

"..." Then Yan Dan hesitated for a moment, but chose not to tell Master Ban that Tian Ming had a sleeping curse seal on his body. Knowing this would only make him more worried.

So he replied a little stiffly, "Following the best swordsman in the world may not be a bad thing for him."

"What's more...Gane is not the only one who protects him."

"Huh?" Master Ben frowned in confusion, "Who else is there?"

"Ha!" Yan Dan just laughed and did not answer.

　In the first part of the Qin Dynasty, the location of the Waning Moon Valley is actually stated.

　　Roughly speaking, it is the Waning Moon Valley in Shimen Gorge in Huangyangchuan River.

　　This place is over in Gansu, thousands of miles away from Jingchu. It's really a bit far, so I changed it and moved it to another place. Don't worry about it.

　　By the way, the dubbing of Gai Nie during the New Qin Dynasty is really hard to describe...
