Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1331 No surprises
  Although everyone felt confident when they saw Gai Nie and Robber Zhi coming back together, they were still completely relieved after hearing their answers.

After the most important question was made clear, Thief Zhi immediately began to talk about the previous situation with great excitement:
  "You didn't see the scene at that time, it was so frustrating!"

"That guy Meng Tian didn't believe Mr. Gai's threat, but in the blink of an eye, Mr. Gai put the sword to his neck, and he could kill him, a general in the empire, with just one move, hahaha!"

"The thousands of troops behind him, as well as the empire's ace Golden Fire Cavalry, are all useless. All I can do is stare at him, hehe!"

The sledgehammer was pounding his thighs as he listened, smiling and dejected at the same time, wishing he could witness this scene with his own eyes.

At the end of the sentence, Daozhi still pretended to sigh, "It's a pity that a star soul came out halfway, otherwise Meng Tian might really be handed over to Mr. Gai today."

Everyone in this room just listens to these words and does not take them seriously.

There is of course one exception.

The big hammer slapped his forehead, and he echoed with pity, "Yes, yes, if we had been more radical at that time, and Xiao Gao and Yuki Nu had directly helped Mr. Gai go up together, maybe it would have been possible!"

Master Ben and others all rolled their eyes, too lazy to pay attention to this fool.

If Meng Tian dies, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the empire. If they can, of course they hope to deal with this difficult enemy, but the problem is that they can't!

Kill Meng Tian?

Is Meng Tian a master who can be killed?

He is the eldest son, the crown prince of Fusu, the most dazzling general in the empire today. If something happens, just wait for Luo Sheng to join forces with Quicksand to carefully sift the territory of Songhai within a hundred miles.

I guarantee that even if you are a grain of sand, you will have to sift it out.

Even if you can't be screened out in this way, the imperial court will directly bring tens of thousands of troops over and completely level the surrounding area!
  In other words, a sledgehammer whose mouth is faster than his brain will not consider the consequences and just think about killing him.

Gai Nie seriously explained the reality that he could not kill Meng Tian from another aspect:

"It's useless, there are other masters around Meng Tian."

"Are there any masters?" Thieves Zhi was stunned and asked in surprise.

"Yes." Gai Nie nodded lightly, "He is very good at hiding aura. I am afraid he is a master of assassination. His strength is not much worse than that of Xinghun. I just don't know if he is a quicksand person or a snare person."

"Liusha belongs to the national master Gu Xun and is closely related to the eldest son Fusu. I can understand that there are experts from Liusha coming to protect Meng Tian, ​​but Luo Wang... isn't it said that he doesn't have a good deal with the eldest son's faction?" Pirate Zhi touched it with interest. He asked with a smile on his chin.

"Faction fighting is an indisputable fact, but the snare is the weapon of the empire after all. Although Zhao Gao is deeply trusted by the emperor, he cannot act recklessly."

Gai Nie explained in a deep voice, "If Meng Tian leads an army to raid the strongholds of major sects like the Mo family, he will inevitably encounter counterattacks from martial arts masters. Although the Golden Fire Cavalry is elite, it is only good at fighting in the military formation, so there must be masters to protect the general. Follow the army.”

"Now in Songhai City, among the forces on the empire's side, the ones with the most martial arts masters are naturally the Yin Yang Family and Luo Wang."

"Oh..." Thief Zhi nodded suddenly, "So the hidden master may be someone Luo Wang had to send according to the rules... No wonder Xinghun fights with you and he just watches and doesn't do anything. ah!"

"..." Gai Nie said nothing about Robber Zhi's opinion.

Although in his opinion, hiding that person was the correct way to protect Meng Tian and it was a sign of effort, but... maybe he really had the idea of ​​​​doing work but not doing anything?
  Anyway, I can’t verify it, so I can just guess.

Master Ban asked at this time, "Mr. Gai, this crisis has been overcome with your help, but... do you think there is still a possibility that the stronghold will be exposed?"    "..." Gai Nie After pondering for a while, he replied, "It is best to reduce unnecessary actions during this period and keep everything as low-key as possible. If possible, I suggest that it is best to choose another base and abandon this place."

"The black dragon scroll intercepted during the day is bound to touch the most sensitive nerves of Young Master Fusu and Prime Minister Li Si - this is most likely the fundamental reason for tonight's attack."

"Although we were lucky enough to repel them once, this will further anger Master Fusu, and the people of the Yin and Yang family will more or less get some information from Ah Zhong's mind...Next, they will definitely attack us in a A more detailed and in-depth search and investigation will be carried out in an area that is considered dangerous."

Master Xu touched his beard and sighed, shaking his head, "Mr. Gai's suggestion is indeed the safest choice, but is it easier said than done?"

It is not easy for a force to choose a suitable stronghold, not to mention that the Mo family is now heavily wanted by the empire and must hide their whereabouts perfectly.

After all, they did not come to Songhai to hibernate and hide. They could just dig a hole and hide in it with food. They had serious things to do and needed to be active frequently.

It should not only be convenient for movement, but also be safe and concealed.

If you think about good things, think about coincidences, and think about old donkeys not eating grass, how can there be so many good things for you!
  Master Ban couldn't help but nodded with sadness. He also knew that Gai Nie's suggestion was not without purpose, but it was indeed very difficult to operate, so he could only set a tone for the time being:
  "This... let's go back and think about it and find a solution as soon as possible."

………………

Songhai City, General's Mansion.

Although the night was deep, the lights of the General's Mansion were still dazzling.

This has nothing to do with Meng Tian's actions tonight. The lights in the General's Mansion will stay up all night every night... Of course, they are just for lighting, not singing every night.

According to his usual schedule, Fusu had already gone to bed at this time, but because of his actions tonight, he still insisted on reading in his study.

It was related to the Black Dragon Scroll, and he couldn't sleep until he got the exact result.

Then he got the news that Meng Tian had returned without success.

How should I put it... Fusu was not surprised.

He had discovered a very interesting fact before - the empire always made mistakes of one kind or another when dealing with rebels.

This 'flaw' has various forms and complex causes, but the result is simple and consistent, which means that the empire's actions fall short of success, or even achieve nothing.

For example, in the recent Battle of the Government City, it was said to be a complete victory, but in fact... to put it harshly, it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a failure.

In essence, the empire only achieved the basic goal of destroying the organ city - tens of thousands of troops smashed into it. This goal was theoretically achievable.

No matter how many victories there are, they are actually gone.

The death of Yan Dan, the leader of the Mohist family, was a gain, but for the entire anti-Qin force, it was not significant enough.

In addition, the empire's operations to suppress rebellions in various places have yielded very little results, especially in areas outside the pass (referring to Hangu Pass). It can be said that officials in various places are just meaningless.

It is the norm to work but not contribute.
