Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1071 The Eve of Destruction

Seeing that Gai Nie stopped talking, Tianming asked in turn, "Uncle, do you know what those people outside the door do?"

"They..." Gai Nie came back to his senses after hearing this. After hesitating for a moment, he said vaguely, "You don't have to worry about them. Remember to take care of yourself."

"Well..." Tianming curled his lips at this answer, obviously not very satisfied, and muttered, "I don't think they have good intentions. Uncle, you'd better pay more attention."

Ge Nie did not respond to this topic.

Of course he knew what those people outside were doing, but there was no need to let Tian Ming know this.

He changed the subject and said, "Tianming, your mood seems to be very low."

Although the child still showed his trademark silly smile after entering the door, his speech and behavior were obviously not as active as usual, and there was no look of fatigue caused by staying up late on his face.

In this case, the problem should still be emotions.

"Uncle, you can tell..." After Gai Nie pointed out that he was in a bad mood, Tianming instantly returned to his previous state of net suppressing the clouds, and explained in a low voice, "Before, I met a person, and I didn't I know his specific name, anyway, Master Ben and the others called him Xiao Gao when they mentioned him before."

"He said that he also knew my father, but...he refused to tell me anything about my parents."

"I...I don't know what to say, but I..."

Tianming made unconscious gestures with his hands, but he could never express his thoughts clearly.

But these were enough for Gai Nie to understand why he was depressed.

At the same time, he also knew who "Xiao Gao" was - Gao Jianli, a good friend of Jing Ke in the past, one of the leaders of the Mo family, and the master of the Shui Han sword.

Gai Nie understood Gao Jianli's reluctance to tell Tianming about Jing Ke.

In fact, Gu Xun, himself, Xue Nu, or Gao Jianli, etc...the reasons why they conceal the truth about the past may not be exactly the same, but one thing is the same - they don't want to hurt this talented general Wu. Children in the Year of the Spoon.

It's just that... this kind of protection is destined to cause some harm to Tianming.

After Gai Nie was silent for a moment, he helped Gao Jian leave the escape road, "Tianming, don't blame him, he...has no ill intentions towards you."

Tianming’s head rose up and down feebly a few times, “I know, I know!”

"You are definitely not harming me by hiding this from me. I just... just... really want to know something about my parents."

"..." Gai Nie was speechless, and finally could only say, "It's already very late, go and rest."

"Oh...ok." Tianming nodded and did not refuse Gai Nie's arrangement.

The friends have all dispersed. There is really nothing else to do. Just go to bed and lie down. Even if you can't fall asleep, you can at least rest your mind and calm down.

But just when Tianming left Gai Nie's room and walked to the door of his own room, there was a rush of footsteps.

Following the sound, Gao Jianli appeared in Tianming's sight with a cold face and hurried steps.

Before Tianming could wonder why the ice man was here, Gao Jianli stormed into Gai Nie's room aggressively.

Although Gao Jianli didn't say anything, looking at the more people he brought with him and his attitude, it was obvious that there was nothing good he could do with Gai Nie.

Tian Ming didn't even bother to think, he subconsciously got through the Mohist disciples blocking the door, and followed him back to Gai Nie's room.

As soon as he entered, he heard Gao Jianli shouting and asking, "Gai Nie! What did you do!?"

Gai Nie, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, still looked calm and calm. Facing Gao Jianli, who looked like he was in charge of asking questions, he calmly asked, "What happened?"

Gao Jianli's eyes grew colder and he replied coldly, "Are you pretending to be stupid?" "You can speak more clearly." It should be said that Gai Nie was confused now, and all he could do was to let Gao Jianli speak clearly first.

"Hmph!" Gao Jianli snorted coldly, but was unwilling to explain the situation.

At this time, Tianming jumped out, blocked Gai Nie with his hands wide open, and yelled, "Ice cube man, what do you mean, do you have a grudge against uncle?"

"Tianming, you..." When Gao Jianli saw Tianming, his anger dissipated a little, and he said in a deep voice, "These things have nothing to do with you."

"Also, stay away from that man!"

Naturally, Tianming would not give Gao Jianli face, so he curled his lips and said, "Hey, who are you? Do I have to listen to whatever you say?"

"Anyway, first tell me why uncle provoked you?"

Facing the dawn, Gao Jianli finally had to maintain some patience and could only explain reluctantly - it wasn't that he didn't want to explain the situation, it was because he didn't want to tell Gai Nie too much.

So, what happened?

……Time moves forward a little bit……

Gao Jianli exchanged responsibilities with 'Duan Murong' and left the central pool.

‘Duan Murong’ walked to the pool gate calmly, looked around for a while, and found the mechanism to open the gate.

There was naturally a way to lock this switch, but Gao Jianli didn't do it because he didn't think it was necessary.

Of course, it would be useless even if he locked it up, because Duan Murong still had the ink core key in his hand.

With this thing, there are very few doors in the entire city that she cannot open.

Stepping into the central pool, you will see a wide and flat hall. In the center is something like a wellhead, and above the wellhead, there are multiple drainage pipes that pour water into the wellhead.

This is the source of the power core of the Mohist government city - the central pool.

In addition, there are a few Mohist disciples scattered around the pool.

Although there is a master in charge, these soldiers have no meaning in existence, but Gao Jianli still arranged a few people, so that if he needs to send a message or something, he doesn't have to go there in person.

These Mohist disciples basically knew Duanmu Rong. When they saw her coming in, they were quite surprised and said hello, "Miss Rong, why are you here?"

'Duan Murong' approached them and responded, "I will temporarily replace Xiao Gao and guard the pool."

Naturally, many Mohist disciples had no doubts about this answer and happily accepted it.

But just when they were having fun, a few rays of fierce light suddenly appeared in the eyes of 'Duan Murong'.

Then, a cold light suddenly exploded from behind her.

………………

Perhaps tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. As a technical talent, Master Xu has not been assigned any tasks. In theory, he can go to sleep early and rest.

But because he couldn't sleep, he chose to wander around the city as if he was helping with the patrol.

Previously, he had successfully blocked Tianming and others from their journey to the forbidden area to commit suicide.

At this time, he happened to arrive near the central pool.
