Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1394 Qin must be destroyed by Chu
  "What kind of reward?" Tianming approached Chu Nan Gong excitedly and asked.

"Hehehe..." Chu Nangong touched his beard and asked with a smile, "What kind of reward do you want?"

This question stunned Tian Ming, causing him to frown and fall into thought.

Just when he was struggling with what kind of reward he should ask for from this mysterious old man, he caught sight of the chaotic streets from the corner of his eye, and he suddenly felt discouraged again:
  "Oh... forget it, I don't ask for anything in return. The old man can find a way to help me and help me solve this lot of troubles."

As he spoke, Tianming pointed to the street behind him.

Chu Nanggong blinked his eyes that others could not see, and replied with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be very responsible, young man... It's a pity that I don't have the ability to help you solve this problem, old man."

"As for your reward... In the early morning three days later, you come to this bridge and wait for me, and I will prepare a small gift for you."

After saying that, Chu Nanggong smiled and walked to the other side of the bridge with slow and old steps.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Liang bowed and said goodbye with all due courtesy, "Senior Nangong, walk slowly."

Seeing this, Shaoyu and Tianming could only follow suit and send Duke Chu Nan off.

When Chu Nan passed Shao Yu on the highway, he stopped, turned his head and looked sideways at him, and asked meaningfully:

"Is there a feather in your name?"

"Uh...yeah." Shaoyu nodded without knowing why.

Chu Nanggong withdrew his gaze, looked in front of him again, and continued to speak in the same tone as before:
  "Feather can ride on the wind and turn into clouds, soaring through the nine heavens."

"Uh... I take my blessings from you, senior." Shao Yu, who still didn't know what was going on, could only say his blessings as an old man.

At this time, Chu Nan Gong turned around directly, facing Shao Yu, and his tone became more and more serious:

"Yu, it's still two blades combined into one."

"There are two sharp blades, one facing inward and one facing outward, so be careful with them."

Only then did Shaoyu come to his senses. Could this sage from Chu be giving him guidance?
  After some hesitation, Shaoyu tentatively asked:

"The current situation is changing, and being in it is like being in a fog. The way forward is unclear. Why do you still ask for guidance from your seniors?"

When Chu Nan Gong heard this, he smiled knowingly, his long eyebrows twitched, and then he suddenly said:

"Earth and water are strong, fire and earth are domineering, wood and fire are dangerous, metal and water are dangerous!"

"I hope these few words can be helpful to you."

"Earth and water are male..." Shao Yu chewed these sixteen words in his mouth repeatedly, but he couldn't taste any deep meaning.

Tianming scratched his head and rolled his eyes, trying hard to interpret it, but to no avail.

Zhang Liang's eyes fluctuated slightly, as if he had some thoughts, but he remained silent.

After thinking hard to no avail, Shao Yu simply asked Chu Nan Gong again:
  "Senior, these sixteen words are enigmatic and have profound meanings. I wonder if you can explain them in detail?"

"Haha..." Chu Nan Gong stroked his long beard and replied, "The two qi of yin and yang, the five elements, are the principles of heaven and earth. I hope you will remember it."

"..."

How is this different from explaining nothing?
  Shaoyu was still completely confused.

But Chu Nanggong obviously had no intention of explaining further, so he turned around and continued walking towards the other side of the bridge.

But in the end, he left one more sentence:

"Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die!"

When Shao Yu heard these words, his pupils shrank uncontrollably, and his whole body seemed to be under a spell. His five senses of thought fell into a completely closed state, and everything in the outside world seemed to be disconnected. These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Shao Yu's heart directly, making him want to move but unable to do anything.

I don't know why, but when he heard this sentence, he, who had been in a state of hesitation, suddenly felt a surge of pride, responsibility, and endless momentum in his mind.

He felt that this sentence was the fact that it was bound to happen, and he was definitely the one to achieve this goal!
  After just a few breaths, Shaoyu's perception of the outside world finally came back online amid Tianming's call.

He turned his head and looked sharply at Chu Nan Gong's retreating figure. He opened his mouth to say something, but did not say anything.

Tianming came over and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"No... nothing." Shao Yu was stunned for a moment, but did not express his inexplicable feelings.

"Uh... Okay." After Tianming glanced at Shao Yu suspiciously, he finally stopped asking questions and turned to Zhang Liang, "Third Master, what did he mean by that last sentence?"

Zhang Liang smiled and shook his head, "I don't know about this, after all... I'm not from Chu."

"Does this have something to do with it?" Tianming was stunned and subconsciously glanced at Shao Yu, "I don't think this Chu guy has any clue!"

Shao Yu, who was still a little distracted, immediately stopped worrying about his feelings when he heard this and rolled his eyes at Tian Ming angrily.

When Tianming saw this, he made a face in response, and then immediately brought the topic back on track:

"By the way, there's something I didn't tell you. I met Brother Chen He."

"Chen He...that master from the Tian Chen clan." Shao Yu immediately reacted and was a little surprised, "He actually entered Songhai City?"

Shao Yu was not surprised when Chen He came to Sanghai. After all, this place was in troubled times and was most popular among heroes from all walks of life.

However, he did not expect that Chen He would actually commit a crime against the odds. When he entered the city at this time, he was not afraid of being exposed and unable to escape.

At this time, Tianming thought that Zhang Liang had never met Chen He, and thought that he didn't know Chen He, so he wanted to introduce him first:
  "Third Master, you probably don't know, this eldest brother Chen He..."

Zhang Liang interrupted Tianming's introduction with a smile, shook his head and said, "No need to say more, others are already here."

When Tianming heard this, he turned around and looked back. Chen He, who was wearing silver armor and a golden sword, was almost in front of them.

Oh...why is there a guy carrying a gun next to me? Didn't you notice just now?
  Then in Tianming's surprised eyes, Zhang Liang, who he thought did not know Chen He, was the first to clasp his hands and say hello:

"Brother Chen He, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Chen He maintained his usual indifferent attitude and nodded, "Zifang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you on the street."

Shao Yu also greeted him politely. After all, Chen He was a member of the Xiang clan.

"Brother Chenhe."

"You...you...do you know each other!?" Tianming, who had come back to his senses, stretched out his hand, pointed back and forth between the two of them, and shouted in surprise.

Zhang Liang did not respond to Tianming in a hurry, but turned his attention to Tian Heng beside Chen He. He had a guess in his mind, but he still treated it as a question that he didn't know:

"This one is...?"

"Haha, Tian Chen clan, Tian Heng, has met Mr. Zhang San!" Tian Heng boldly raised his fists and introduced himself with a smile.

Zhang Liang politely returned the greeting and said, "It turns out he is the third son of the Tian family. Liang has heard about it a long time ago. When he saw it today, he is indeed very majestic."

"Where, where! Mr. Zhang San has given you too much praise." Although Tian Heng was always rough in his actions and words, he was very humble at this time.

However, they greeted each other happily, but Tianming, who was left alone, was not so happy. He stared at a few people with unkind eyes and interjected:

"Hey! Can you answer me?"
