Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1184 Convergence
  Wearing a cloak with white edges and a black background, he wore a cape that covered his face. In his pocket, he held a long sword with a hilt as black as ink and a scabbard as white as jade.

This attire, coupled with the unique sword, revealed his identity, the current tycoon of the Mo family, the former Prince Yan Dan of the Yan Kingdom.

Seeing the target he had come all the way to find, Thief Zhi was shocked at first, and then overjoyed, "Big man!"

Then he dodged and stood in front of Yan Dan, pretending to be on guard, "Be careful, you man, there are enemies!"

Looking at the rogue Zhi who looked more funny than loyal in front of him, Yan Dan chuckled, reached out and patted his shoulder, reminding him, "He's gone."

"Ah?" Thief Zhi was stunned, and looked up to where the girl had roughly judged her footing based on the sound. Sure enough, the branches were empty, no one could be seen, and only a few leaves were falling gently.

"Huh... we're gone now." Thief Zhi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, stepped away from Yan Dan, and then asked with a smile, "Juzi, do you know that person?"

Another old and powerful voice intervened and answered Thieves Zhi's question, "That's Siming, the chief minister of wood of the Yin Yang family, old and young."

Thief Zhi looked over following the sound and saw a long-bearded old man wearing Taoist robes walking slowly over. He was startled again and hurriedly said hello, "Senior Xiaoyaozi!"

Then Daozhi couldn't help but was slightly stunned at Xiaoyaozi's answer, "Elder Mu... I thought she should be from the Yin Yang family, but I didn't expect that she turned out to be an elder. She doesn't look very old!"

"Onmyoji..." When Xiaoyaozi heard this question, he habitually wanted to explain the sexy operations performed by the Onmyojia in pursuit of the limits of heaven and man, but was interrupted by another young voice.

"Haha, I'm afraid now is not a good time to chat."

With a smile on Zhang Liang's face and one hand behind his back, Shi Ran came over and stood side by side with Xiaoyaozi.

At the same time, another handsome young man with blue hair also stepped forward.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang Liang!" Tao Zhi looked a little happy when he saw Zhang Liang. He couldn't stand many Confucian rules, but he always had a good impression of the third master of the Little Sage Village.

After saying hello, Thief Zhi turned his eyes to the side and asked, "Who is this?"

Hearing the voice, Xiao Lingfang, who had been looking up to where Shao Siming was before, seemed to wake up from a dream. He looked away, raised his hands and clasped his fists, and briefly introduced himself, "Taoist Tianzong, Lingli."

Thief Zhi was startled, guessing that this was probably the Tianzong disciple who had been in the limelight recently...it was different from what he had imagined earlier.

By the way, what was this guy looking at so ecstatically just now?
  Could it be that he and the Yin-Yang family were particularly at odds with each other, and it was a pity that he could not keep that young Siming?
  It is normal for Thieves Zhi to have such a guess. After all, what is the relationship between Taoism and Yin-Yang Family... The masters of Tianzong may not be exempt from vulgarity.

On his face, Thieves Zhi maintained a bright smile and said in return, "It turns out he is an expert from the Tianzong. How disrespectful!"

"My name is Thieves Zhi, hehe, I am... a thief!"

Xiao Ling's eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly and said, "The King of Thieves...I've heard of his name for a long time."

"Hehe!" Thief Zhi grinned, quite surprised that the disciples of Tianzong had heard of his name, "You're welcome, just a thief's bone... Of course, he is the best thief's bone in the world."

It's not that the title of King of Thieves is not loud enough, but a Tianzong disciple... this Taoist Priest Lingli doesn't seem to have the style that Thief Zhi thinks a Tianzong disciple should have, which seems to make sense.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly towards Thieves Zhi, but did not answer any more words. He once again entered a state of absent-mindedness, wondering what he was thinking about.

Zhang Liang, who was smiling at the side, and Xiaoyaozi, who was slowly stroking his beard, glanced at Xiao Ling secretly, and then looked at each other again, seeming to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Then, Xiaoyaozi said to Xiaoling, "Xiaoling, go and pick up the people behind you. After all, the young and old Siming has appeared, so it's better to be careful."

"Huh?" Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, then realized what Xiaoyaozi said, nodded, and replied briefly, "Okay."

When Xiao Ling returned to the way he was walking, Dao Zhi's brows twitched and he said in surprise, "Da Siming is here too!?"

All the high-ranking members of the Yin Yang family know the title of Tao Zhi, but they may not be able to get it right when they meet a real person.

Yan Dan nodded in response and said, "Yes, Da Siming attacked me before."

"Ah!? Are you okay?"

"It doesn't matter." Yan Dan shook his head, glanced in the direction of the machine city, and said in a solemn tone, "The eldest and young masters are all here. I don't know if there are other masters of the Yin Yang family..."

"How is the city?"

Hearing Yan Dan ask about the machine city, Thief Zhi slapped his forehead, "Oh! I was responsible for this!"

"Big brother, the situation in the city is very bad now, and it is basically completely lost!"

"Most of the brothers were poisoned. Wei Zhuang led the Qin soldiers to kill them. Xiao Gao and the others had no choice but to retreat to Mo He's secret room."

"In order to cover my escape, Xiao Gao and Xue Nu left Mo He and went directly to Wei Zhuang. I don't know what the situation was like..."

Although Thief Zhi's anxious words seemed a bit confusing, the dangerous situation in the city at this time was immediately clear.

Yan Dan's brows knitted together under his bamboo hat.

Xiaoyaozi and Zhang Liang, who were observing whether Xiaoling had gone away, turned around when they heard this, with surprise on their faces.

"Poisoned!?"

"What poison is so powerful?"

One of them made a sound of surprise, and the other asked directly about the poison.

Yan Dan also stared at Robber Zhi closely, obviously extremely curious about the answer.

From what Thief Zhi said, it seemed that almost everyone in the city had been poisoned. This seemed to the three of them to be an almost impossible situation.

What a huge area!

"Uh..." Thief Zhi recalled what he heard before, and then replied, "I heard from Miss Rong that his name is... Zhen Yu Qianye!"

"She said that this poison can spread with water flow, and it is completely undetectable when it is not taking effect. Once it is exposed to the sun, it will be poisonous immediately, and it can spread over a wide range. Just one bottle can almost cover the entire city. Living!"

Yu Yu Qianye... Neither Yan Dan nor Zhang Liang knew anything about this kind of poison. At this time, they looked confused and shocked. It was very difficult to believe that there was a poison with such an impact. This was completely beyond their understanding of poison. Know!
  Xiaoyaozi frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and after a moment he said uncertainly, "Zhen Yu Qianye... I remember that there was such a poison, which seems to have been lost long ago, and I am not very clear about the effect."

Taoist masters are usually involved in pharmacological medicine and divination, and Xiaoyaozi is no exception. However, after all, he became a monk halfway. His attainments in this area can only be said to be better than those of ordinary people, and are far from being comparable to a miracle doctor of Duanmu Rong's level.

Seeing that Xiaoyaozi could not get any effective information, Yan Dan turned to Taizhi and asked:
  "Has Miss Rong ever told you how to detoxify? And how are the disciples who were poisoned?"

"The poisoned brothers are fine for the time being." Pirate Zhi shook his head slightly, "Miss Rong said that once Yu Yu Qianye is thrown into the water, there is no cure. The only way to stop it from taking effect is to replace it with fresh running water."

"As for those who have been poisoned, their lives will not be in danger within twelve hours. They are just paralyzed and need detoxification...well, they don't need special detoxification drugs."

"Miss Rong said that the antidote stored in the government city is generally enough, but it was discovered too late and we had no time to save people." Yan Dan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this - if most of the people stationed in the city were All the disciples were poisoned and died, but the damage to the Mohist family was great.

The people stationed at the headquarters are all elite disciples. If they were to send them all, it would be equivalent to losing at least one-third of the core strength of the Mo family.

This is unbearable pain!
  Of course, it is not an easy task to rescue so many people, who are still poisoned, from the lost city.

"Do you have any solution to the problem of poisonous gas?" Zhang Liang was the first to ask Yan Dan.

"Yes, yes, but..." The hat on Yan Dan's head swayed slightly, "The steps are a bit complicated. I have to go to the waterfall pool in person to safely open the water change valve."

Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and frowned, "In this case, a few of us must sneak into the city first."

"That's for sure." Zhang Liang looked at the others with a smile, "Moreover, most of the troops in the alliance will probably be temporarily stationed in this area and cannot move forward."

Yan Dan nodded slightly, "The Qin army is besieging the city, and there must be an anti-Qin alliance among their targets. They may have laid an ambush, waiting for us to step in."

The most important thing is that there is poison gas.

If there was no such layer of poison, Yan Dan could still try to lead a surprise attack and rescue people and evacuate them as quickly as possible.

With the complex mountainous terrain where the city is located, it is not an easy task to truly surround the anti-Qin alliance. Even those long-famous Qin generals may not be able to do this.

As far as Yan Dan knew, the commander of the troops encircling and suppressing the city this time seemed to be a newcomer.

Of course, Yan Dan wouldn't look down on him just because he wasn't famous, but... he had another trump card, so he didn't need to worry about evacuation.

It's a pity that they have to change the water to detoxify first, and can't just rush.

Xiaoyaozi concluded, "In this case, it is best to organize a small team of at most dozens of people to detoxify first, and then rescue Commander Gao and others who are trapped in the secret room of Mo Nu."

Zhang Liang added, "There still needs to be someone responsible for reporting the news. As soon as we change the poisonous water, we will immediately notify the people in the army, wait for the opportunity to attack, and cooperate with us inside and outside."

After saying that, he turned to look at Daozhi again, "By the way, brother Daozhi, haven't all the Mohist brothers who were poisoned been captured and made prisoners by the Qin army?"

"This..." Thief Zhi frowned and pondered for a moment, then replied, "I can't say for sure. Anyway, all the poisoned brothers I saw when I left were still lying on the ground. No one should have touched them."

"But not all of them, I'm not sure."

"Hmm..." Zhang Liang thought about it for a while and guessed, "The Qin army probably didn't care about them - they didn't kill them directly, nor did they gather them and imprison them."

"It seems..." Xiaoyaozi's eyes flashed, a little surprised, "Doesn't it match Qin Jun's usual style?"

Zhang Liang chuckled and explained, "It's true that we don't agree, but it's understandable."

"Even with the cooperation of Qi Du, breaking and occupying the entire Guan City is a time-consuming operation, and the Qin Army also has a larger goal of the Anti-Qin Alliance, so we must prepare for an ambush before we arrive at the Guan City. , there is not enough time.”

"In this case, it would be inappropriate to spend extra time on those Mohist disciples who have lost their ability to move. Not only are they no threat, but they can also become a burden when we rescue people."

"Zifang is right." Yan Dan agreed with a slight smile.

Xiaoyaozi also nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Zhang Liang's analysis.

"In this way, the last key point to save people is medicine." Xiaoyaozi looked at Yan Dan and reminded, "If the Qin army destroyed the medicine stored in the city in advance..."

"Well...we can only take it one step at a time." Yan Dan replied.

The warehouse in the machine city is very tightly protected, with multiple machine locks, among which the medicine warehouse is the top priority, but the problem is that there is a Gongshu family - Robber Zhi didn't mention it, but you can guess it without mentioning Yan Dan, otherwise it would be considered poisonous. With help, the government city will not fall so quickly - it is hard to say how long these protective measures can withstand the people.

If the Qin army really targeted the drugs, Yan Dan could basically be sure that they wouldn't be able to stop them in time.

Zhang Liang chuckled lightly at this time, his eyes swept over several people, and he said with a curve in the corner of his mouth, "Information is limited, and the plan cannot be perfect."

“Now that time is even more pressing for us, we don’t have to worry about these minutiae for the time being.”

This sentence was agreed by both Yan Dan and Xiaoyao Zi, and it was true that there could be no further delay.

At this time, Daozhi, who had been unable to speak, made a suggestion, "I am the fastest, why don't I go back first to see the specific situation?"

Yan Dan directly shook his head and rejected the suggestion, "You have not recovered from your old injuries, and you have frequently activated the Lightning Divine Form Technique. Your condition is too bad at this time, so you should rest first."

Thief Zhi showed a heartless smile and waved his hand carelessly, "Hey! Don't worry about such a trivial matter at this time, giant."

"If there's any problem, I'll ask Miss Rong to treat it for me later. She'll definitely be able to find a solution!"

As for Thief Zhi's insistence, Yan Dan thought about it for a while and then relented, "Then... you will continue to follow us. As for the need to inquire about the situation first, it is of little significance."

Thief Zhi naturally agreed with a happy face, as long as he was not left idle.

"Without further ado, Liang is going to organize the manpower first." Zhang Liang bowed his hands to signal to the others, then immediately turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, Yan Dan told Taizhi, "Xiao Zhi, go and help Zhang San."

"Okay!" Thief Zhi smiled and followed the order.

The remaining two people looked at each other. Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and said, "I didn't expect that the situation in the city would deteriorate to this point. It seems that the problem of my nephew can be put aside for now."

Yan Dan was not surprised by Xiaoyaozi's words, and asked calmly, "Brother Xiaoyaozi, are you confirming that he is related to the Yin and Yang family?"

Xiaoyaozi chuckled and shook his head, "Of course I can't, so I wanted to find a chance to test it out."

"But... maybe Mr. Zhang San knows an extra part of the truth."

Yan Dan lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, "Indeed, that Tianzong disciple seems to have something to do with Liusha, Zhang Liang..."

He didn't say the next words, but the meaning was clear.

Of course, the secret of a Tianzong disciple is no longer important. What is more important is to save more than a thousand Mohist disciples in the city.

　Let me tell you, something was very wrong with me tonight. As expected, I was struck by a trick.

　　If there is no update tomorrow, then no, it will probably be discontinued for a few days, I hope you will forgive me.
