Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 978 Send them one by one

After passing Sishui County, we will find Jiujiang County, which was governed by Shouchun, the former capital of Chu State.

Shouchun, the former royal capital, is at the very edge of Jiujiang County, next to Sishui County. After passing Shouchun City, it means that you are completely far away from the Central Plains region in a broad sense.

In short, the further south you go, the more desolate it gets.

Of course, this area has been quite lively recently.

First of all, many Jianghu people gathered in Jingchu to join in the excitement of the anti-Qin meeting. Although Jiujiang had passed the gathering place set by the Mohist giants, there were always some people who couldn't stop wandering around.

Secondly, because the war to conquer Baiyue was about to break out, a large number of imperial troops and civilian labor were concentrated in Kuaiji County, which was adjacent to Jiujiang County.

However, these people were mainly concentrated on the road from Jiujiang to Kuaiji. The population in other parts of Jiujiang County was depleted because of this, making it more desolate and deserted.

On a loess plain near the bank of the Yangtze River, wind and sand were flying all over the sky, rolling up the grass clippings and gravel on the ground. From time to time, you could see cracked bones and decaying corpses, both human and livestock. .

A convoy of vehicles sped away in the face of the setting sun, raising clouds of sand and dust.

This is the Xiang family's team.

Three days have passed since the last attack. In a hurry, they have passed through Sishui County, crossed the Huai River, and are about to cross the Yangtze River.

As long as you pass this last natural moat, you will not be far from Jinghu Medical Village.

On top of a carriage in the middle, Xiao Ling sat cross-legged in meditation with his eyes closed tightly. Even if the wind roared in his ears, it still did not affect his meditation. As a Tianzong disciple, even a not-so-qualified Tianzong disciple, this He still has some energy and energy.

In front of the carriage, Shao Yu and Tian Ming were driving the carriage, relying on the carriage frame.

Of course, Shaoyu was mainly responsible for driving, while Tianming was mainly responsible for chatting with the driver to prevent him from getting bored.

However, Tianming is obviously not a chatty person. His main way to cheer up Shaoyu is to raise his blood pressure.

After two days of fussing and playing, the two brothers felt a little low on energy.

Tian Ming lay aimlessly against the carriage board, glanced at the desolate scenery around him, felt the trembling and moving muscles all over his body, and said with dull eyes, "The feeling of riding in a carriage is not good at all! Fortunately, I My uncle and I both walked before, otherwise my life would have been ruined eight hundred years ago."

"Shaoyu, how long will it take for us to arrive?" Tianming asked wailing.

Shao Yu was definitely stronger and more durable than Tian Ming. Although his face was full of exhaustion at the moment, he didn't act as if the end was approaching. Hearing Tian Ming's question, he replied helplessly, "I've said it several times, probably Three more days, three days, three more days!
  Tianming actually knew the answer, but he insisted on asking without giving up. After getting the answer, he howled twice:

"There are still three days...three days left!"

"I see that when we get there, not only uncle needs treatment, but I also need it... No, I guess I am in more urgent need than uncle."

"Okay, stop complaining. Why don't I just give you a thumbs up? What's the matter?" Shao Yu rolled his eyes at Tian Ming, who was pretending to be cool, and said angrily, "You still want to be a hero when you can't bear the hardship at all? Be a None of you have a share in this!"

"Hey, can that be considered?" Tian Ming just made a face at this and replied disapprovingly, "I used to have a hard time traveling with my uncle, but hard work is hard work, at least it is not torture!"

"It's nothing like now. I feel like I'm swaying up and down unconsciously when I walk..."

"Pfft! I'm convinced of you boy too..." Shao Yu didn't hold back and laughed directly, having nothing to say to Tian Ming.

Tianming squinted his eyes and said in a quiet voice, "I seriously doubt that the uncle has been delayed in waking up even though he has already received treatment from Dao Dao Brother. It was because he was knocked over by the broken carriage you drove."

"Come if you don't agree." Shao Yu glanced at Tian Ming disdainfully and handed over the reins in his hand.

Tian Ming answered with a stiff mouth, "Hey, I'll do it, I'll do it. Do you think you, Master Tian Ming, can't level a carriage?" As he spoke, he also pretended to get the reins.

Of course, Shaoyu wouldn't really give it to him, and Tianming wouldn't really take it away.

The two of them just repeated the farce that happened before.

But this time the farce was broken by a small accident.

"Ouch...ow...ow...ow...ow..."

A series of loud and long howlings of wolves suddenly sounded. Tianming and Shaoyu, who were about to start a fight, stopped their movements suddenly, shook their heads and looked around.

Other members of the Xiang clan, whether they were riding horses or driving, also looked around.

Soon, everyone discovered a group of wild wolves...probably wild wolves, following the convoy, trailing far behind. The obvious target was their group.

Xiang Liang, who was riding at the front of the team, couldn't help shaking his reins when he saw this, and approached Fan Zeng, wondering:
  "Although this place is desolate, there shouldn't be so many wild wolves, right?"

Fan Zeng stroked his long beard, nodded and said, "Normally not, and even if there are wolves, they usually won't target a team with a large number of people like us."

"I'm afraid there's something fishy about this matter."

Tianming turned his head to look at the wolves looming in the smoke and dust behind the motorcade, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "How come there are so many wolves?"

"Something is not normal..." Shao Yu took a moment to glance at it, frowning and coming to the same conclusion as Fan Zeng.

At this time, the little spirit on the roof of the carriage jumped down lightly, landed between the two of them, and said softly, "This is not an ownerless wild wolf."

"What do you mean?" Tianming scratched his head, "Does anyone still raise wolves these days?"

Shaoyu's reaction was a little faster, and he immediately judged, "It seems that he is clearly targeting us."

Xiao Ling also gave the answer at this time, "I heard someone say that one of the most famous killers in Niqusha, the Four Heavenly Kings, is good at driving wolves to his own advantage."

"Drive the wolves..." Tianming scratched his head, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he shouted, "By the way, I remember that at that time, there seemed to be a weirdo with a wolf-shaped mask among those people, wasn't he? feather?"

Shao Yu remembered it much more clearly than Tian Ming. He nodded and affirmed, "It should be that person."

"It seems that the people who went against the quicksand are catching up again."

At this time, a weak voice came from the carriage, "Tianming, come in."

When Tianming heard the voice, he shouted in surprise, "Uncle!"

"Uncle, wake up!"

As he spoke, the man immediately got into the carriage.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling nodded and smiled at Shao Yu, "Let's go in and have a look too."

The reason why he stopped his meditation was firstly because of the disturbance from the wolves, and secondly because he sensed that Gai Nie had woken up from his coma.
