Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1177 Reminder
  This time it was Tianming's turn to roll his eyes and replied angrily, "If anything happens to you, nothing will happen to me or Chitaki!"

"If it hadn't been for the protection of your brother Tianming before, you would have been captured by that old guy Gong Shuqiu for credit!"

Shao Yu glanced at him sideways, but didn't try to refute this.

To be able to escape safely from Gong Shuqiu's hands, Tianming indeed played the most crucial role. Otherwise, they would probably not even be able to see Gong Shuqiu's face, and they would just lead the white tiger and fall off the cliff, destroying the machine and killing everyone.

Seeing that the brothers had calmed down, Qiantaki interrupted, "Tianming and I will not be in danger, don't worry, but Shaoyu...have you really decided to act alone?"

Regarding Qiantaki's worry and concern, Shaoyu's attitude was much more serious and he replied seriously, "Don't worry, I won't make fun of my own life."

"You and Tianming should also pay more attention to safety."

Seeing Shaoyu's resolute attitude, Qianlong stopped trying to persuade him.

Tian Ming was even more open-minded about this. Apart from giving the other party a sarcastic reminder, he didn't even mean to persuade him.

All said and done, my good brother understands for himself, and he must be confident before acting alone. There is no need to worry too much about safety issues.

Afterwards, the three of them divided into two groups, heading towards the area where the Xiang clan previously lived, and towards the core area of ​​the government city.

………………

The government city is located on a high mountain outside the city.

Han Xin, with a paralyzed face and two dead fish eyes, still stood there, as if he hadn't moved at all.

Zhong Limei, on the other hand, found a big tree to block the wind and studied something on a drawing.

This drawing is a simple topographic map around the city. Due to the rush of work, the content is not too detailed. I can only say that it is somewhat useful.

At this time, Mo Crow's dark figure suddenly fell from the sky, and landed lightly on the ground. With a smile on his lips, his eyes glanced at Han Xin and Zhong Limei:

"Generals, are you ready?"

Han Xin responded calmly with a frustrated voice, "Everything is done, General Mo Crow, what else do you want?"

Mo Ya shook his head slightly, "It's not an order, it's a reminder."

"There was some minor accident. Bandit Zhi, one of the six leaders of the Mohist family, escaped my tracking. Now he has probably met with the anti-Qin alliance led by the Mohist giant."

"I think... it shouldn't be difficult for them to guess that there will be traps and ambushes here."

After all, Thief Zhi's light kung fu was not inferior to that of Mo Crow. After being delayed by Bai Hu for just a few words, Mo Crow completely lost track of him.

Although he could still find it if he tried hard, Mo Ya felt it was unnecessary and gave up. He just came over to remind Han Xin and the others.

In response to this news, Zhong Limei frowned slightly, but soon relaxed again.

A little troublesome, but not too fatal.

Han Xin was completely emotionless and replied to Mo Ya calmly, "General You are here to remind us, we will pay attention to it."

As long as the Mohist giant is unwilling to give up the thousands of lives in the city, the anti-Qin alliance must take this trip and step into this trap. The only difference is whether they are prepared.

But for the imperial army, which has an absolute numerical advantage, whether the opponent is prepared or not is basically regarded as dispensable.

"Then..." Mo Ya glanced around again, gave a slight salute, and was about to leave, "I won't disturb the two generals." But at this time, another voice suddenly broke in, making Mo Ya stop his movements.

"I also have something to remind you."

As the clear voice fell, Gu Xun's figure quietly appeared aside.

Both Han Xin and Zhong Limei had met Gu Xun, and they naturally recognized him at a glance.

Zhong Limei hurriedly put down the topographical map, and with an excited expression, he took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands and saluted, "General Zhong Limei, pay your respects to the Imperial Master!"

Over the years, Zhong Limei has always wanted to join the army and serve his country. However, after joining the army, due to personality problems, his promotion path was bumpy. After several ups and downs, he never got better. It was not until he was promoted by Gu Xun that he made his mark.

To him, Gu Xun, in a more primitive way, is called a confidant or Bole; in a more modern way, he is called an angel investor, so he naturally respects him greatly.

Han Xin was not as excited as Zhong Limei, but he also stepped forward and bowed, saying in the same tone as before, "I have met the Imperial Master."

As Gu Xun's retainer, Mo Ya had the smallest reaction. He just bowed slightly and said hello, "Sir."

Although the guards around him did not recognize Gu Xun, they saw his general's actions and heard his words, and realized who the person who suddenly appeared was, and hurriedly followed him and knelt down to salute.

All of a sudden, a circle of people fell down.

Gu Xun smiled and lifted everyone up, then said to Han Xin, "All the soldiers in the city should be withdrawn if they can. Just leave a few to wait for Wei Zhuang and others to leave."

Han Xin's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he was very sensible and did not ask the reason in a hurry. Instead, he called the messenger first and conveyed the order.

Gu Xun watched him give the order, turned around and walked a few steps towards the edge of the cliff, looked at the machine city, and said with a smile:
  "People from the Anti-Qin Alliance are about to arrive. There is no need to keep people in the city. It will easily increase unnecessary casualties."

Han Xin lowered his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and then asked tentatively, "What do you mean, Master National Preceptor?"

"Ha..." Gu Xun smiled softly, put his hands behind his back, and asked Han Xin, "Do you know now why I asked you two to carry out this mission to encircle and suppress the city?"

Han Xin did not hesitate, and did not even shy away from the soldiers around him. He replied directly, "Your Excellency, you are going to give us two a piece of free credit."

"You are quite direct." Gu Xun shook his head and laughed, then changed the subject, "But this credit is not for nothing."

"For His Majesty the Emperor, all he wants is for the Mohist family to lose this 'Demon Realm' that took three hundred years to build, so that there is no such place in the world that is not under the control of the empire...'the paradise on earth'."

"On this point alone, you have completed your goal. Most of the defensive institutions in the city have been destroyed, and the ability to resist foreign invasion has basically dropped to freezing point."

"For a long time, this place will no longer be suitable as the headquarters of the Mohist family. It should even be said that with the current situation of the Mohist family, there will no longer be any Mohist disciples stationed in the city for a long time."

Zhong Limei raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered something secretly in his heart.

Isn’t this considered a free gift?
  Even the step of beating the drowned dog that Han Xin mentioned does not need to be done...

At this time, Han Xin's mind was spinning faster than Zhong Limei's.

Since Gu Xun said it wasn't for free, the two of them must have put in some work.

Now that His Majesty the Emperor's goal has been accomplished, can't there be other people's goals?
  He asked calmly, "National Master...what are your orders?"
