Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1283 Meeting between Dao and Zuo

"Is there something wrong, sir?"

Mo Ya didn't hear Gu Xun's murmur clearly and was worried about the impact of the chaos in the city, so he asked.

"Ah...it's okay." Gu Xun came to his senses, waved his hand casually, and gave an instruction by the way, "It's already late at night, it's time to take a rest. Remember to pay attention to the direction of public opinion among the people in the city tomorrow. If there is any disturbance, If it's too big, just let Meng Tian know and don't cause too much panic."

"... I understand." Although he was still confused, Mo Ya understood that his boss had no intention of saying more, so he had to suppress his curiosity.

But he also has his own guesses.

This evening, my boss suddenly said that he had to leave for a while because he had something to do. It wouldn't be too long. Then almost two hours after he disappeared, there was a strange situation on the sea with no wind and waves. Then, not long before he came back, this strange situation happened. The inexplicable waves stopped on their own.

Coupled with the inexplicable questions Gu Xun asked him about the sea before, it is difficult to say that there is no connection between the two.

However, Mo Ya could only think of this step, but not the rest, because he really couldn't imagine how his boss could create something like the waves.

Gu Xun ignored his subordinates' petty thoughts. He didn't have time to worry about those thoughts now.

Looking up at the bright white moon, Gu Xun's mind drifted to another thing - he then considered whether he should find a way to travel around the world.

Of course, this idea came not to appreciate the ancient scenery of the five continents and four oceans in the third century BC, but to confirm whether the place he was currently on was actually a planet.

This trip to the East China Sea suddenly made him doubt that he was in a world that looked like the earth, but was actually not the earth.

Of course, he didn't see anything that could prove that what he was stepping on was not a sphere. He just suddenly had such an idea.

Because of his experience in the animal world, he had seen the sacred beast Qilin in the mountains and forests, and the four sacred beasts that guarded the Qilin, so even if he realized that this world really existed...or that gods once existed, he didn't think too much about it.

But at this moment, he suddenly had a whim. If this was not a purely scientific world, it might not necessarily be the earth. It might even be a world with round sky and small squares, like an isolated continent.

As for why he suddenly had such an association, it was naturally because he made some different discoveries in the depths of the East China Sea.

He saw a monster!

Hmm...a very interesting monster.

………………

The next day, outside Songhai City.

A short child and a tall, thin old man with white hair and beard were walking on a forest road.

This road is not an official road, it is just a nearly flat dirt road created by the long-term traffic of people and cars, just like Brother Xun said (this is really what Lu Xun said).

Although this kind of road is not flat enough, it is very dusty when walking, and it will be muddy when it rains, but it is very wide, and it is not a problem for several carriages to travel parallel.

Because the empire's control in the city has become more stringent recently, and the screening of various entrances and exits has become more cumbersome, the people of Songhai City have chosen to go out as little as possible. At this time, there are only two people on this wide dirt road, one old and one young. .

Needless to say, this pairing is naturally Xunzi and Tianming.

Not counting the time he went to help Zhang Liang and Yan Lu escape the siege yesterday, Xunzi had not left the secluded bamboo forest for several years, let alone left Songhai City.

He would appear outside the city with Tianming at this time, naturally for the promise he owed after losing the chess game.

However, Tianming just asked him to leave the city, but he didn't say why. "Little friend Ziming, you took me all the way out of the city. What do you want me to do?" Master Xun asked by the way, bored.

"Uh..." Tianming scratched the side of his face and replied with a smile, "In order to allow Master Xun to treat a person, Third Master said that your medical skills are very good."

"Saving people... is a good thing." Master Xun stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

If you save people, it will be easier. You don't need to consider whether it is against morality, just treat them.

Even if the other party is a heinous person, it doesn't matter...at worst, he will die after being cured!

"Who are you trying to save? Are you a relative of yours, little friend Ziming?" Master Xun asked.

"This..." Tianming was stuck for a moment, leaving a few drops of sweat on his face, and said hesitantly, "This... wait, you will know when you arrive."

Master Xun glanced at the unnatural Tianming, nodded with a smile, and did not ask any further questions very considerately.

Tianming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

He didn't answer, not because the answer was inconvenient, but because he simply didn't know!

Zhang Liang only told him to take Master Xun to the Mo family stronghold, and then said that he wanted to save someone, but nothing else.

Tian Ming thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of anyone in the Mo family who needed treatment at the moment. What's more, even if he needed treatment, there was a medical fairy here, so why did he go to all the trouble to trick Master Xun into going there?
  It's a pity that Zhang Liang didn't say anything, and Tianming, a powerful figure in the Mohist family, didn't know anything. He could only be a stupid errand boy. When Xunzi asked him, he could only answer vaguely.

The two continued walking along the road for a long time, getting further and further away from Songhai City. During this period, Tianming kept telling Master Xun that they were almost there, although the old man never pressed him at all.

After Tianming told Master Xun for the twelfth time that he was almost there, Master Xun finally had a different reaction.

He grabbed Tianming.

"What's wrong?" Tianming, who didn't know why, turned to look at the old man blankly.

Master Xun lowered his voice and replied, "Listen carefully, there is some movement."

Tianming subconsciously followed Master Xun's words, listened carefully to the sounds around him, and his ears twitched slightly.

"Well... it's true!" Tianming showed an unexpected look, and at the same time turned to look in the direction of the sound, and further identified, "It seems to be the sound of horse hooves... there should be nine, one in front, and the others are chasing behind."

Xunzi was half a body behind Tianming, stroking his beard with one hand, looking at Tianming with his eyes slightly lowered, with a smile on his face.

It seemed that Tianming's performance did not surprise him.

Thinking about it, Master Xun's five senses are not as sharp as ordinary people. The sounds he can hear may not be heard by most people, let alone an ordinary teenager.

Since he asked Tianming to listen, he naturally thought that Tianming could hear it.

Tianming didn't have a clear understanding of the sudden burst of hearing and the fact that he could even tell the specific situation by sound, as if it was a trivial thing. Instead, he was very interested in the source of the sound:
  "Master Xun, what do you think this is?"

Xunzi replied calmly, "Chasing after each other, it sounds like maybe the rich kids are hunting with their guards?"
