Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1310 Counterattack
  clang!clang!clang!
  ……

After taking the initiative to avoid twice in a row, Chen He stopped dodging blindly and began to swing his sword to receive the attacks.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

The momentum and strength that Sheng Qiyi had accumulated from his rapid attack had been exhausted. Although with his own divine power and the weight of the giant tower, his strength was still far greater than that of Chen He, there was no need to give way anymore.

If you give in any more, you will be wasting your momentum.

In just a few breaths, the two sides collided with each other more than a dozen times. It was obvious that Chen He was at an absolute disadvantage in the duel, and his foot plate could hardly stay on the ground.

However, this also made his figure a little more agile and changeable, and he repeatedly seized opportunities to threaten Shengqi's vital points.

The first priority of the Thunder Sword is naturally "power", which means it moves like thunder and is about to explode at the touch of a button, but its strength is also speed.

As for Shengqi, he can be called a flexible and strong man in this aspect, but that is only compared to ordinary masters, and he is a little less interesting than Chen and him, so naturally he can be easily caught.

However, this only balances the balance of victory between the two sides to a certain extent, and is not enough to determine the final result.

On the other side, the battle between Tian Heng and Sword Master Shengxie has entered a fierce stage.

Tian Heng's marksmanship skills were different from those of Chen He in the past, but they were closer to his sword skills now, and he followed the explosive and rapid flow.

The spear danced with a rainbow-like momentum, like a black dragon coming into the world, sweeping everything!
  He saw the endless black shadows of guns in the forest, wreaking havoc at will, leaving a whole forest bare!

And the Master of Victory Evil Sword was like an oil lamp in the strong wind in the light of the spear that filled the sky. His energy was like a gossamer and could be blown out at any time.

However, he is immortal.

The green Shengxie Sword Glow is different from Tian Heng's Spear Glow. The latter is in sheets and curls, almost filling the entire battlefield, while the former is like a will-o'-the-wisp, dotted here and there, like weeds on the roadside. A tenacious presence.

Every appearance of the Shengxie Sword Light represents a surprise attack on Tian Heng's vital point, and also represents the interruption of Tian Heng's killing offensive against the Master of the Shengxie Sword.

But all said and done, Tian Heng was still in an absolutely dominant position, and the Shengxie Sword Master was just barely holding on.

To put it simply, as long as Tian Heng doesn't make multiple big mistakes in a row, the victory will definitely be his, and the Shengxie Sword Master only needs to make one mistake, and the battle will be over.

………………

On the official road outside Songhai City.

A cargo carriage was driving on a flat road, followed by a few people on horseback, who seemed to be escorting it.

Judging by logic, this team is a bit strange.

It is not easy to do business these days. Although the world is unified and the empire has always pursued an iron-fist policy, special professions such as bandits and robbers still emerge in endlessly.

In places where the empire's control is relatively strong, such as the Land of Sanfu, or Hexi and Hedong, the situation is better.

But Jingchu, Qilu, Liaodong... Liaodong does not count. Those places are poor and rough, and no one goes there to rob. However, the first two are indeed popular areas, especially the prosperous land of Qilu.

If local officials were more responsible and more diligent in suppressing bandits, the situation would be a little better. If they are irresponsible...then everyone will have their destiny.

Therefore, when a caravan travels, it must be escorted.

The business of escort bureaus is not yet popular these days, but martial arts sects will accept this kind of business, which is considered an important source of revenue for them - which is equivalent to the prototype of escort bureaus.

Generally speaking, the number of people in this escort team, depending on the value of the caravan's goods, ranges from ten or twenty to tens or hundreds. The number of hundreds is rare, and most of them are around twenty people.

After all, they are all practitioners, and their skills are not comparable to that of ordinary bandits and bandits. If you want to eat meat from the guards of twenty people, you must have a team of at least fifty people.

It is difficult for a group of bandits to reach fifty people - the pressure to survive is too great!
  The profits from robbery are not stable after all.

Back to the topic, there are only a few people escorting this truck, which is a bit lacking.

At the same time, the quantity of goods for just one carriage was too small.

Putting the two doubts together, it can be said that they just barely have it written on their foreheads that they have a problem.

But... Speaking of which, they were lucky.

Originally, Meng Tian had repeatedly swept away the area around Songhai. After Fusu was assassinated, he intensified his efforts and expanded the scope. He wanted to kill all the wild boars and hyenas that were capable of hurting people.

In other words, there is basically no need to worry about personal safety when walking near Songhai.

However, their luck is not very good either.

Meng Tian wiped out all the bandits, robbers and hooligans, but he hardly wiped out any of the anti-Qin forces with different ideas.

The sound of waves is still there!

The premise that there is no need to worry about personal safety is that they are just ordinary people and they... happen not to be.

"Hey!!!"

In the dense forest beside the road, there was a sudden explosion, and a burly figure jumped out of the forest, jumped high, and swung the huge hammer in his hand fiercely.

Under the hook of the chain, the sledgehammer flew out of the hand of the sledgehammer, drawing a full arc. After gathering enough strength, it hit the horse pulling the cart blankly.

The horse on the right was hit by this heavy blow and was immediately turned sideways, spitting out blood and foam. At the same time, it also knocked down the other horse next to it. The carriage behind it did not lose momentum and rolled directly over.

At the same time, a cold light came silently from another direction. The circular jagged flywheel that reflected the cold light deftly drew a curve in the air and flashed away from the throats of the guards.

The figure of Thief Zhi followed closely behind him, and with an afterimage, he flashed onto the overturned carriage. He arrived first, raised his two fingers, and caught the instant flywheel that was one step behind him.

Then the instant flywheel returned to the owner's hands, and the guards also covered their throats and fell down with a whooshing sound.

After the sledgehammer stopped the carriage, he immediately swung the sledgehammer again and made a semicircle, knocking down the horses that the guards were riding before they had time to run away.

In order to leave as few traces and clues as possible, they couldn't let go of anyone, including people and horses!

At this point, the combat phase is completed.

The sledgehammer took back the hammer and put it on his shoulder. He walked to the dead horses and carefully inspected the accessories used on them. He straightened up and nodded to the bandits:

"Horses and harnesses are the exclusive standards of the imperial military."

"It seems that the information is correct. This merchant is disguised as someone from the imperial military!"

Thief Zhi jumped off the carriage and looked at the corpses of people and horses on the ground. He raised his brows and smiled, and the instant flywheel rotated at high speed on his fingertips:

"You have to pretend to be a businessman in your own home. It seems that this group of people's mission... is very important!"

Clumsy as a sledgehammer, he also knew the key at this time.

He turned to look at the overturned carriage, "Their mission must be related to this!"

Robber Zhi leaned on the overturned carriage, grinned, raised his hand and tapped it twice with his fingers:

"Hey! I hope the contents inside won't disappoint us!"    …………

Songhai City, General's Mansion.

"What did you say!?"

Fusu, who was reading in the study, frowned when he heard the news reported by Meng Tian, ​​and blurted out an unbelievable rhetorical question.

This was the first time since he entered the city that he had lost his composure, not even when he was assassinated.

The reason is of course that the news reported by Meng Tian was too bad.

The team responsible for secretly escorting the Black Dragon Scroll encountered an attack and all personnel were missing. Judging from the limited traces at the scene, they should have all been killed.

Of course, the most important Black Dragon Scroll was also lost.

The Black Dragon Scroll, simply put, is a carrier for transmitting confidential information within the empire, and there are several other types besides it.

However, the Black Dragon File is only used for the empire's top secrets. Under normal circumstances, it cannot leave Xianyang City at all. It probably only appears outside the imperial capital during wartime when it is used to deliver top-secret military reports between the emperor and the general.

Normally, it is impossible for Xianyang to send the Black Dragon Scroll to a remote city like Songhai. However, the current situation is special. The eldest son, prime minister, and general of the empire are all here.

Therefore, this embarrassing situation has arisen that has never happened before. No wonder Fusu is angry.

Meng Tian knelt on one knee, lowered his head, folded his hands above his head, and responded hurriedly:
  "The general is not doing his job well. Please punish me, Master!"

He did not try to make a military order such as retrieving the Black Dragon Scroll to make up for his merits, but chose to just throw it away and plead guilty, because he knew very well that if nothing unexpected happened, it would be impossible for him to get it back in a short time.

The scene was so clean that it would take a long time just to determine which group of people did it, let alone the tracing process.

In the final analysis, these anti-Qin forces have been hiding in hiding for many years, and they are all very experienced and sophisticated!

boom!
  Facing Meng Tian's confession, Fusu reached out and slapped the table hard, stood up directly, frowned, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice:

"Condemn? General Meng should be very clear about what the Black Dragon Scroll represents, right?"

"The top priority now is to recapture the files and ensure that the empire's top secrets will not be leaked to those rebels!"

In response to Fusu's questioning, Meng Tian could only lower his head lower, and responded in a loud voice but without much confidence, "The general has arranged the most elite personnel to investigate this matter. I believe... there will be something soon." Got a clue."

"Humph..." Fusu could also tell that Meng Tian was unsure, and sighed lightly, but did not continue to question him.

Strictly speaking, Meng Tian was not responsible for escorting the Black Dragon Scroll at all.

He is on the receiving end!
  But who allowed the incident to happen on the edge of Songhai City? He must bear certain responsibilities, and Fusu must also take a stance of accountability.

But everyone is our own people, so that’s fine.

Prime Minister Li Si, who stood silently beside him, obviously understood this situation. Seeing that the situation was almost over, he took the initiative to be the peacemaker and excused Meng Tian a few words:

"Young Master, don't be too troubled. This Black Dragon Scroll has six armor locks set by the Gongshu clan leader. Even if it is taken away, it cannot be unlocked."

"Humph..." Fusu slowly closed his eyes, sighed again, and waved his hand to Meng Tianli Si, "General Meng, please get up first."

"Thank you, sir!"

After Meng Tian stood up, Fusu continued, "Of course I believe in Mr. Gongshu's Six-Path Lock, but... as long as the lock is made, it is destined to be unlocked by the key. Don't forget, you two adults, around Songhai now Who is the biggest rebel force..."

The answer to this question is a no-brainer, it is naturally the Mohist family.

To be precise, the biggest rebellious force in the world right now is also the Mohist family.

As one of the two great sages, even though he suffered heavy losses after being labeled as a rebel by the empire, his background is still unfathomable, not to mention that the previous generation giant Yan Dan also promoted the anti-Qin alliance during his lifetime.

Although the ensuing Battle of the Machine City temporarily interrupted the alliance affairs, as long as this kind of thing started, it would be very easy to start it again later.

And what is the Mohist family most famous for?

The Mohist organ is made of wood and stone;
  Bronze opened his mouth and asked Gongshu.

Even if the Six-Path Jiazi Lock is integrated into the Yin-Yang theory, it will definitely be able to stop the Mo family's mechanism master?

Meng Tian and Li Si looked at each other and immediately understood what Fu Su meant.

However, it doesn't matter even if the Six Paths Jiazi Lock is lost!
  Meng Tian clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, young master, if it is really the traitorous actions of the Mo family, even if they unlock the secret lock outside, they will not be able to read the contents of the file without the Thousand Machine Copper Plate!"

"General Mo will re-arrange the protective measures of the Thousand Machine Copper Plate right now, and we will definitely not let the young ones take advantage of it again!"

Fusu turned his back and raised his hand, "Like locks, secrets are destined to be cracked since they were born. The key is to solve the problem from the root."

"Currently, the Mo family is the most likely and the greatest threat. General Meng will focus on investigating them first."

"I will obey your orders!"

"Master Xiangguo, the net is now yours to deploy. I hope you will put more effort into this matter."

"Young Master is serious in his words, and I dare not slack off in matters of duty."

"Hehehe..."

At this time, there was a soft laughter from outside the door, and a short figure walked in from the outside.

Wearing a dark purple robe with complex star patterns, he is the left guardian star soul of the Yin Yang family and the left guardian of the empire.

The child held his head high and looked arrogantly, looking down at the three people in the room. It could be said that he was very rude and disrespectful.

But Li Si, Meng Tian, ​​and Fusu, who turned around after hearing the voice, didn't care about him.

This kid is so virtuous that he wants to look at people with his nostrils day by day. He is obviously the size of a short kid, and he wants to pretend to be big.

Considering His Majesty the Emperor's special attitude towards the Yin Yang Family, and the fact that the Yin Yang Family members are indeed capable, they are too lazy to argue with Xinghun.

You have the right to coax your children!
  After looking at everyone's figures, Xinghun finally stopped laughing and turned to the topic, "If these adults want to deal with the Mo family, I may be able to provide some help."

"Oh?"

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the three Fusu people.

………………

In a farm on the outskirts of Songhai City, four corpses were seen lying quietly in the fenced yard.

Everything in the yard was placed neatly, and there was no sign of a fight at all. There was no blood around the bodies, as if these four people died suddenly of a vicious illness.

Outside the fence courtyard, Gao Nie, Gao Jianli, and Xue Nu looked at the corpse on the ground silently.
