The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 29
The village we arrived at today was actually not big. As far as Bai Zhi knew, there were only five or six households of Qin people in this village, and the number of people in this village was only five or sixty.

The village is located in the mountains and forests. Although there are not many people, it is not too far from the nearest city.

It was night, and the village fell into silence. In the darkness, no one could see anything, but there were waves of vigilant breathing.

Since the divine bird had already predicted it, the Qin soldiers escorting the divine bird's carriage were all ready and ready!

As the night approached, there was indeed a slight strange noise coming from outside.General Qin looked at the Qin soldiers on the side, and then rushed out quickly.

For a moment, the entire courtyard was illuminated by firelight, the darkness was quickly dispelled, like daylight, and the scene outside the courtyard was also quickly illuminated. The originally empty courtyard was now filled with people.

"Go!"

The Qin soldiers had already surrounded the other side. Following General Qin's order, their swords were shining with cold light.

A group of gangsters dressed in black uniforms were approaching them with cautious movements and sharp weapons in their hands.

Seeing Qin Zu suddenly startled, he seemed to have been prepared for it, and one person inside suddenly showed a look of shock.

"how is this possible?!"

"If something is revealed, evacuate quickly!"

"kill!"

……

For a moment, they rushed towards the Qin soldiers and fought with them.

……

……

Listening to the sound of fighting outside, Bai Zhi acted very calmly. This was very normal. After all, it was all expected. If the Qin soldiers could still be defeated, there would be no need to go east.

Princess Xia on the side looked curious, looking up eagerly, wishing she could just walk out of the room and go outside to watch the battle.

But she also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she could only sit there and wait quietly.

After a long time, the princess looked at Bai Zhi and said seriously: "Master, Xia Yu is learning swordsmanship!"

"Can!"

Bai Zhi nodded and agreed very happily.

Anyway, you don't learn swordsmanship from yourself, and since you can't teach it yourself, others will naturally have a headache.

As for the reason why Princess Xia wants to learn swordsmanship, it is very simple. It is nothing more than seeing the soldiers fighting outside being able to protect themselves and even others with their own strength, which makes Princess Xia envious in her heart.

Although Princess Xia is a woman, she has a stubborn and determined character. If she talks about learning swordsmanship at this time, she will definitely put it into action and persevere.

Seeing Bai Zhi agreeing so readily, Princess Xia was a little surprised, but she nodded and took note of it, just waiting for the opportunity to ask others for advice.

Soon, the sound of fighting outside finally stopped, and at the same time, there was a faint smell of blood drifting into the house through the window lattice, making the two little girls frown for a while.

After a while, General Qin strode in, full of evil aura, and there was still a faint trace of blood on his armor, but it was obvious that he had wiped it off.

"Hui Shenniao, my subordinates are incompetent and let the thief escape!"

He had heard before that the divine bird could speak human words, which made General Qin even more awed. After he came in, he respectfully reported back.

"Tell me in detail."

"only!"

After hearing General Qin's retelling of the situation outside, Bai Zhi realized that the people outside should be Chu people, but there were only 17 of them, and their target was obviously the divine bird itself.

When they were in Xianyang, they heard the news that the divine bird had entered the Wei Dynasty, and quickly rushed to the divine bird's carriage, choosing this place to ambush.

As for the Qin people in the original village, the other side was cautious, fearing that the smell of blood would spread out and alert the Qin soldiers, so they did not kill anyone. They just imprisoned the villagers and dealt with them after the incident was completed.

But he didn't expect that the opponent's plan had been seen through by the divine bird. General Qin was well prepared and killed 15 thieves, and two of them escaped.

"It's okay!"

Bai Zhi shook his head and ordered Qin General: "After this battle, everyone will be safe and sound. I order everyone to rest at ease and wait until early tomorrow morning to move forward at full speed and arrive at Hangu Pass as soon as possible!"

"Wei!" Seeing General Qin go out, Bai Zhi couldn't help but admire Zhang Yi's wisdom. If the bad guy just now was indeed from Chu, then Zhang Yi had already seen Chu's plan very clearly.

This is a kind of control over people's hearts.

"As expected of a Guiguzi disciple!"

"Master, why do you let Qin soldiers rest at ease? Shouldn't they be more vigilant?"

Princess Xia on the side asked curiously.

"After this battle, even if there are bad guys, they will think that the Qin soldiers must be very vigilant, as you think, but this will easily cause the Qin soldiers to be in poor condition and tired tomorrow."

"The opposite is true. The bad guys know this truth, so they won't do anything again tonight. Then let Qin soldiers have a good rest."

Bai Zhi taught, "Of course, this is under the premise that there are no more bad guys."

"Understood……"

Princess Xia was thoughtful.

……

……

"Thank you General for saving your life!"

During the day, the rising sun rises in the east.The morning sun is shining with thousands of rays, and the mist is heavy in the mountains and forests. It is like a veil floating under the sun, and the leaves are condensed into beads, and the green leaves are moistened, fresh and elegant.

In front of the village, the Shenniao carriage was ready to go, and Li Zheng, who was originally in the village, was leading the villagers in the rear to thank General Qin for his life-saving grace.

"You are people of Qin, and I am a general of Qin. It is my duty to protect the people of Qin. Please don't thank me!"

After arranging everything, the Shenniao Frame set off again.

In the carriage of Wei Shi at the front, after being frightened by what happened last night, Wei Shi was so exhausted that the journey was very uneventful.

The speed has also increased a lot. Bai Zhi can control his own breath so that birds will no longer appear on the way. In the afternoon, the towering city of Hangu Pass was finally revealed in front of everyone.

As an important pass for the defense of Qin, Hangu Pass borders the plateau to the west, Juejian to the east, the Qinling Mountains to the south, and the river to the north. It is surrounded by dangerous mountains and streams, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

At this time, the general guarding Hangu Pass turned out to be Gongsun Yan. He had long heard that the Divine Bird Chariot was coming, and Gongsun Yan had been waiting quietly in front of Hangu Pass.

Beside him was the armor-clad deputy general Ying Hua.

"Yan, I have seen the divine bird!"

The name of the divine bird is known to all the six countries, and the Lord of Qin treated him with courtesy. As a general of Qin, Gongsun Yan naturally had to do the same.

"I've seen the general!"

Gongsun Yan was ranked in the Daliang Dynasty, and was entrusted by the Qin Jun with the important task of guarding Hangu Pass here.At this time, the Qin general who was escorting him all the way was just a nobility, so he naturally had to salute him when he saw him.

"Hard!"

Gongsun Yan nodded, then asked someone to take them down to rest, and then led the Divine Bird Chariot into the city quickly.

In a house.

“I heard that Shenniao met some bad guys on the way, is that true?”

Looking at the divine bird entering the inner room, Gongsun Yan asked the Qin general on the side.

"Back to the general, the villain is a Chu man who sneaked into the Qin Kingdom. He came for the divine bird!"

"I see!"

……

"Have a rest and set off as soon as possible!"

Inside the house, Bai Zhi said this.

Of course, this had to wait until the following Wei envoy was ready. Obviously, the Wei envoy was more anxious than Bai Zhi and wanted to fly directly to Wei State Daliang immediately.
