Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1194 Where to escape
  "Roar!"

Qinglong held his head high and roared again, but this time the dragon's roar was not as magical as before. It was just that the tone was higher and a bit unpleasant. Even those on the ground could hardly hear it because they were far away.

Obviously, the current Qinglong is really like an ordinary machine beast... although a machine beast like it has nothing to do with ordinary beasts.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xun couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Mo family's craftsmanship in making the blue dragon is superior to that of the Nine Heavens Xuannv in making the Demon God of War. After all, the starry power contained in that thing is completely uncontrollable, even if it is controlled They will also be eroded by strange forces."

"Maybe it's because the size difference between the two is too big?"

The Qinglong is naturally not small in size, and when wielded dually, it can block out the sun at low altitudes. However, compared to the Demon God of War, it can only be said to be small and dwarfed.

After sighing with emotion, Gu Xun stopped observing. His level of mechanical skills and understanding of the stars' special powers were only half-baked, and he couldn't tell much more.

If you want to know more, you can only test it directly.

At the same time, Qinglong also plans to attack Gu Xun, but now it cannot use the power of the stars, and only has some physical attack capabilities.

What is used now is the most direct and effective skill - collision!
  With a flutter of its wings, its huge body set off a storm in the air, mixed with the roaring sound of the wind, which was about to drown the tiny Gu Xun.

Gu Xun ignored the huge beast charging towards him, and calmly raised his right hand, holding it in the air. A long flaming sword made of true energy fire naturally appeared with his movements.

Then Gu Xun waved his big hand and threw the flowing fire sword condensed with true energy directly towards Qinglong.

boom!
  The Flowing Fire Sword, which was only more than three feet long, expanded and exploded instantly after being released, scattering into sparks all over the sky, and smashed towards Qinglong overwhelmingly.

The burning temperature of Gu Xun's true energy fire is far higher than that of ordinary flames. Even if the material used to build the blue dragon is extraordinary, it will spread and burn immediately after being contaminated.

This beast of a machine felt the pain of the burning fire as if it were a real life. It rolled over and rolled in the sky, roaring continuously.

The people on the ground couldn't hear the blue dragon's 'wailing', but they could clearly see the fire all over the sky. It was so big and red that it was even more brilliant than the fire clouds at dusk.

However, the flaming beauty that made them think and speculate did not last long, and soon dissipated.

Because Gu Xun's true energy fire could not rage on Qinglong's body for long.

As he was being fatally threatened, Qinglong's dim eyes began to emit red light, which became increasingly blazing.

Along with another dragon roar, invisible sound waves spread, and the fire of true energy that was originally like gangrene on the bones suddenly seemed to turn into a rootless fire. After a few breaths, it dispersed with the wind and was completely extinguished.

As Gu Xun watched, the star power in Qinglong's body emerged again. However, it was probably limited by some operation of the Mo family. The burst of star power was very controlled. It only surfaced a thin layer, which was enough to dissipate it. The ancient fire of true energy.

Immediately afterwards, after the crisis was resolved, these stars' special powers immediately fell silent again.

It seems that Qinglong's condition is stable.

After Gu Xun rubbed the palm of his right hand a few times, he did not take action again. He left Qinglong who still wanted to cause trouble for him and fell straight to the ground.

If nothing unexpected happens, Qinglong cannot suffer a more powerful attack than the one he just struck.

Since it can continue to remain stable now, the probability of problems is indeed low, so there is no need to continue testing.

Otherwise, if one accidentally breaks it by using too much force or loses control, the gain will outweigh the loss.

The Mo family has not yet perished, so keeping the Qinglong as a killer weapon in their hands will do more good than harm to Gu Xun's plan.

After losing its target, Qinglong, who was not a living creature after all, immediately flew away from here according to the original route as if nothing had happened.

………………

In Xianyang, the imperial capital, there are Zhangtai Palace and Shuyi Palace.

In recent days, as Ying Zheng's headaches have become increasingly serious, he has been forced to reduce the frequency of Umrah meetings to once every two or three days.

However, I didn't have much time to rest, I just spent more time in the study room of Shuyi Hall.

At this time, he was reviewing the memorial.

If a person has to take care of the affairs of dozens of counties in the world, there is no such thing as Yingzheng's government affairs. As long as he wants to, there will be memorials to approve.

At this time, a chamberlain walked quickly from outside the palace, holding two letters in his hand - this kind of thing is usually handled by Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, but now that he has left Xianyang, naturally it can only be done by someone else. Temporarily.

The chamberlain took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground, held up the letter in his hands, and said in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty, there is a military report from the South, which was submitted by the Imperial Advisor."

Ying Zheng raised his head, put down the things in his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Speak!"

The chamberlain's posture did not change when he heard this, and he replied, "The rebellious headquarters of the Mohist family has been attacked by Han Xin and Zhongli Mei. The leader of the Mohist family, Dan Fu, the former crown prince of Yan, was executed. No bones are left. The rebels have suffered heavy losses. The remnant troops have now moved to Flee eastward.”

After finishing the list of results, after receiving Ying Zheng's signal, the chamberlain dared to stand up, stepped forward and handed both letters to Ying Zheng, then stood aside with his head bowed and waited.

This so-called military report is actually not formal, otherwise it would not be a simple letter.

This is the information that Gu Xun sent back to Xianyang expeditiously through the Luowang channel.

What the chamberlain said was a condensed version of the letter's content, but the original version didn't contain much. Ying Zheng glanced at it briefly and read it quickly.

The content is just that sentence, just mixed with some details and nonsense.

Putting the letter aside casually, Ying Zheng snorted and said, "Ha! Yan Dan... I didn't expect that he would survive to this day and become a giant of the Mo family."

Speaking of this old friend who was also the mastermind who intended to assassinate him, Ying Zheng felt very calm, even though the other party had deceived him for many years by pretending to die.

After all, the identity gap between the two parties is now as big as clouds and mud, and even if Yan Dan lingers on for a few more years, isn't he still dead now?
  This information was passed back by Gu Xun, and Ying Zheng was convinced that Yan Dan was definitely dead this time.

After spending one more sentence on Yan Dan, Ying Zheng picked up the second letter and browsed it.

This letter was not written by Gu Xun, but the detailed information about the Battle of Guancheng compiled by Luo Wang, and the content was far greater than the previous one.

The military report sent by Gu Xun only reported the achievements of Han Xin and Han Xin, and it was obvious that they were here to claim credit.

As for more details, such as the specific losses of the Mohist family, the amount of damage on the empire's side, whether there were any additional gains, etc., they were not said.

If Ying Zheng wants to have a more comprehensive understanding of this, the intelligence compiled by Luo Net is indispensable.

After a while, Ying Zheng put down the second letter and had a more detailed and practical understanding of the results of the Battle of Guancheng.

To be honest, this battle was not very pretty.

The empire's side suffered hundreds of casualties, while the Mohist disciples suffered only a few hundred casualties. It was basically a one-to-one ratio, not much of an advantage.

He also let go of the big fish of the Anti-Qin Alliance - although Ying Zheng did not count the Laoshizi Alliance as the target of this battle at all. The most important thing is that Tianming didn’t catch him!

However, Ying Zheng did not become angry because of this, because the most basic goal was indeed achieved - the rebellious headquarters of the Mohist family, the so-called "paradise in the world" that Ying Zheng disliked, completely disappeared from the world, and its leader, the Mohist giant, also died. In this battle, both the casualties and the time and materials consumed by the empire were far lower than expected.

From the perspective of fighting against the rebels, it was done perfectly.

As for how many Mohist disciples were killed or injured, or whether the anti-Qin alliance was damaged, Ying Zheng didn't care at all. He was only dissatisfied with not catching Tianming.

But the problem is that this is the responsibility of the killers of Luo Wang and Ni Liusha - mainly the latter, and has nothing to do with Han Xin.

Ying Zheng will not go to Liusha for this matter, let alone anger Han and Xin, so his mood is quite stable, or to be more precise, he is even preferable.

The fact that the unsightly government city was gone and the Yan Dan that he hated was completely eliminated made Ying Zheng feel a little happier.

………………

To the east of Guancheng City, heading towards the land of Qilu, several carriages were galloping on a deserted road close to each other. Most of the drivers were wearing the clothes of Mohist disciples.

Needless to say, the people sitting in this motorcade were naturally the people of the Mo family who had escaped from the government city. To be more precise, they were important figures of the Moh family.

After the Battle of Guancheng City, the Mo family was completely labeled as rebels. All the senior officials were on the wanted list, and even ordinary disciples were unable to move freely in the town.

Since there were too many people, the target would be too great, so Gao Jianli and the others ordered all the disciples to spread out and hide themselves, but secretly summoned some elites to go to their next destination.

Of course, they also spread out and went alone, then reunited at the destination.

And they, the senior officials, accompanied by a very small number of disciples, acted collectively.

With their strength, they don’t need to deliberately hide when they are on the road, as long as they don’t be too ostentatious, so it doesn’t matter if there are more people.

In one of the carriages, Tianming, Shaoyu, and Xiaoling were sitting together.

The Xiang family had separated from the Mo family at this time, and only Shao Yu continued to stay with Tianming and the others.

Feeling the bumps coming from the carriage one after another, Tianming said with both boredom and sadness:
  "Alas... Is the Governing City really gone?"

He had been in a coma since receiving Yan Dan's teaching. He just woke up yesterday and knew nothing about the collapse of the government city.

Shao Yu put his arms on the back of his head, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and replied lazily, "No! It's all gone!"

For Shao Yu, who had experienced the destruction of his family and country, the death of his close relatives in battle, and had been hiding for many years, the destruction of the government city only made him sigh for two days, and then he looked away.

At least... not many people died, and it was much better than what his family had experienced in other homelands.

Tianming lowered his head, feeling a little depressed, and muttered:
  "Is this so..."

Although Tianming has been wandering around since he was a child, and his temper has been tempered to be quite tough, he still has a hard time letting go of the destruction of the machine city.

Unlike Shaoyu who first had something and then lost it, Tianming had never had a normal life in the past. It was not until recently that he truly had friends and relatives, and then he successively obtained similar friends and relatives in Jinghu Medical Village and Guancheng City. Peace of mind at home.

But in the blink of an eye, everything was gone and turned into a passing cloud.

He once again embarked on a wandering journey, lost Qianlong, his uncle was seriously injured, and even Yuanhong was broken...

Everything happened so fast that Tianming couldn't adapt for a while.

Seeing this, Shao Yu reached out and patted Tian Ming's shoulder to comfort him.

Tianming raised his head, looked at his two friends who were both emotionally stable, hesitated for a moment and then asked Shaoyu:
  "Shaoyu, are you feeling...sad?"

"Well..." Shaoyu sighed softly, with a wry smile on his face, and spread his hands before replying, "It's so sad!"

"But I'm... used to it, so my reaction is naturally not as big as yours."

"Are you used to...?" After receiving this answer, Tianming muttered to himself, then turned to look at Xiaoling, "Brother Taoist, how about you?"

Xiao Ling opened her eyes, smiled at Tianming, and answered the question, "Although I am a little different from my brothers and sisters, I am a disciple of Tianzong after all!"

"Huh?" Tianming was stunned for a moment, not knowing what this answer meant.

Shao Yu understood it as soon as he heard it, nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed!"

"It's always easy to overlook Brother Ling's identity as a master of Tiantian Sect. This change is indeed difficult for you."

Xiao Ling smiled again and said nothing, but his eyes flickered.

Everyone in the Tianzong sect is aloof from the world, and naturally they will not easily change their minds due to changes in personnel matters.

However, Xiao Ling was not a serious Tianzong disciple after all. He couldn't let go of his sister, and he couldn't bear to see the death of his master Chi Songzi. He was far from peace and quiet.

It's just that his relationship with the Mohist family is really average. At most, he has the most basic sympathy for the Mohist family's experiences. As for any sentimentality or lamentation, it is impossible.

When Tianming heard Shaoyu's explanation-like words, he nodded unconsciously. He seemed to understand Xiaoling's meaning, but he didn't seem to understand it clearly.

Shao Yu saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he slapped Tian Ming on the shoulder vigorously, giving him a jolt, and then spoke before Tian Ming got angry:

"Boy, do you know where we are going next?"

Tian Ming was obviously interested in this, so he ignored the blow he received just now and asked, "Where are you going?"

Tianming, who had just woken up yesterday and still had not fully understood what happened on the day when the government city was destroyed, also knew nothing about their current destination.

Seeing Tianming's enthusiasm, Shao Yu smiled proudly, and then replied, "It's Songhai City!"

"Sanghai...where is it?" An illiterate person who knew the number of cities could count them on one hand asked in confusion.

Xiao Ling interrupted and replied, "Songhai is a seaside city in the land of Qilu. It has strong trade and is quite prosperous."

"Qilu..." This time there was a word that Tianming understood. After thinking about it for a while, his face fell a little, "Qilu, isn't that the place my uncle and I passed before coming here!"

"But, that place is far away from the Machine City, right?"

"What are you doing there?"

Even if you want to run away and find a new place to stay, you should choose a place that is not far or near. It is too risky to be close, and it is too dangerous to be far away, so it is not suitable.
