Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1479

Xiaoshengxianzhuang, front courtyard.

Brothers Yan Lu and Zhang Liang walked side by side in the corridor.

The sun in the sky was just right at this time, shining on the pool in the courtyard, reflecting the sparkling waves.

"Zifang, have you heard what happened the past few days?" Yan Lu asked with a smile on his face, one hand behind his back.

Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows, as if he was suddenly aware, "Senior brother, are you talking about General Meng Tian leading his army to retreat to Xianyang overnight?"

"Of course I've heard about this. After all, there was such a big commotion."

Looking at Zhang Liang pretending to be stupid, Yan Lu did not expose him and continued:

"Do you think General Meng's withdrawal means that the situation in Songhai will stabilize?"

"An stable..." Zhang Liang pretended to think for a while, nodded, and then shook his head.

"What does the ovary mean?"

"Haha, Liang means that for ordinary people, General Meng's withdrawal does mean that the situation is beginning to calm down."

"But if we really want to restore the peace of the past, I'm afraid we have to wait until the mirage officially sets sail."

"As for us 'extraordinary' people, I'm afraid everything is just the beginning."

"It seems that Zifang has some ideas?" Yan Luyi asked pointedly.

"Ideas..." Zhang Liang pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly changed the subject, "Senior brother, do you know who the guests Haiyue Xiaozhu will receive tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?" Yan Lu was stunned and asked, "Isn't it a good day tomorrow?"

"Senior brother, please don't forget that there are several distinguished guests in the city who do not need to abide by Haiyue Xiaozhu's rules."

"Zifang, please stop showing off." Yan Lu simply stopped thinking and urged directly.

"Tomorrow, Prime Minister Li Si will host a banquet for His Royal Highness Fusu, the eldest son." Seeing this, Zhang Liang stopped talking nonsense and made everything clear.

"Li Si..." Yan Lu suddenly caught the key.

Little Saint Xian Manor is now in a troubled time, and the greatest source of danger is none other than Li Si, the Prime Minister of the Empire.

"Did Zifang know anything in advance?" Yan Lu blinked and asked pointedly.

"I can't say I know it. Just like Senior Brother You said, I just have some ideas." Zhang Liang responded with a smile, "Confucianism and Mohism have always been regarded as prominent schools by the world. Now the Mohists have become out-and-out rebellious traitors. Senior Brother How do you think Confucianism should deal with it?"

"Is Zifang starting to worry?" Yan Lu turned his eyes to the front and asked calmly.

Zhang Liang shook his head, "It's not that I'm worried, but I'm thinking about how to deal with it."

"Some things are destined to come."

"After the recent encirclement and suppression operations, although the Mohist family has not been directly uprooted, it has been forced to enter a state of dormancy to the greatest extent."

“Now the most conspicuous thing in Songhai is the Little Saint’s Village.”

"Since Zifang knows this truth, why should he get involved?" Yan Lu asked rhetorically.

Zhang Liang smiled when he heard this and replied, "Senior brother, do you regret supporting my nonsense?"

"There is nothing to regret." Yan Lu shook his head indifferently, "I was just supporting my fellow disciples."

"If you really want to discuss this topic, it's something you and senior brother should consider."

"Zifang, will you regret what you did today?"

"I..." Zhang Liang pondered for a long time, then shook his head, "I don't know."

"I always feel that what I did was never wrong and I will never regret it."

"But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them out for some reason."

"Hahaha..." Yan Lu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "If senior brother hears this, maybe he will feel some comfort."

Zhang Liang could only smile bitterly when he saw this, and then asked, "Speaking of senior brother, I have been busy in the past few days and have never seen him."

"I wonder how things are going lately?"

"Elder brother, you understand." Yan Lu replied, "His mood is rarely affected by external objects, let alone for a long time."

"Everything is normal for him now. He just asked me about Zi Ming and Zi Yu a few times."

"Ziming Ziyu..." When Zhang Liang heard these two names, a smile flashed in the corner of his eyes, "Both of them are fine, but they will not return to Little Sage's Manor in a short period of time."

Zhang Liang emphasized the pronunciation of the word "short time" very hard, and it was not difficult to tell that what he actually meant was a long period of time.

Yan Lu naturally understood what his junior brother meant, and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with the two of them now?"

"What's the situation?" Zhang Liang's smile became even brighter and he replied cheerfully, "It's hard to say. The current situation of the two of them is something I never expected before."

"But for now, it seems that at least people are safe."

Yan Lu couldn't understand Zhang Liang's first sentence at all, but the meaning of the latter sentence was very clear.

This was enough for him to let go of his worries about the two teenagers.

Although he didn't know the specific situation, he was still willing to believe in his junior brother.

"People safe is good."

Zhang Liang smiled and said nothing.

It is true that nothing happened to the person yet, but it is estimated that only the three parties involved know whether it is OK or not.

Zhang Liang was really surprised when he first learned that Tianming and others ran to the mirage.

This was not within the scope of his expectations. After all, he didn't know that White Tiger Zero was actually a winged tiger.

What’s more, I didn’t expect these three little ones to be so decisive in doing things. They dared to jump into the sea even when they saw a dead end.

However, after taking a closer look at the situation on the mirage, Zhang Liang was not in a hurry to get the three children off the boat.

Not to mention that the attitude of the Yin and Yang family members on the ship towards the intruder was very subtle. The most important thing was that Gu Xun would never let anything happen to the three of them.

When searching for people in Songhai, there is no doubt that mirages are his key observation targets.

He may not be able to understand everything that happened on the ship in detail, but the noise the three people made when they boarded the ship at Tianming was not small, and he would not fail to notice it.

………………

It was night, inside the temporary stronghold of the Mohists on the outskirts of Songhai City.

Master Ben and others gathered in a circle, with an oil lamp lit in the middle, and the flickering light of the fire shone on everyone's face.

Master Ban was the first to speak:

"There is news from the ovary."

"First of all, Tianming Shaoyu, Shi Lan and the others are currently safe, but are temporarily trapped in the mirage."

"According to what he learned, there won't be any problems in a short period of time... He did not suggest that we try to carry out rescue. It is too difficult."

Sledgehammer touched his head and shouted, "Is it safe for the three children to go to that ghost place in the mirage?"

"Are you sure Zhang Liang is not fooling us?"

Hearing this, Thief Zhi interjected, "Although I don't think it's reliable, judging from the information I got, the mirage is surprisingly quiet, and there is no aggressive search for intruders at all."

"What are the people of the Yin and Yang family thinking about?" Big Iron Hammer muttered in confusion, and then suddenly raised his voice and exclaimed, "Could it be that they have secretly captured Tian Ming and the others!?"

Gai Nie suddenly interjected, "I think you can trust Zhang Liang on this matter."

"Ah?" Big Iron Hammer was stunned and asked with wide eyes, "Why?"

After Gai Nie looked around, he explained in a deep voice:

"Leave aside the relationship between Tianming Shaoyu and Zhang Liang, at least that girl from Shushan - the little girl named Shi Lan, Zhang Liang will never let anything happen to her."

"So, he probably won't talk freely about this matter."

"Shi Lan?" Tuozhi raised his hair and said in surprise, "Isn't she from Shushan? Why is she still related to Confucianism?" "It's not related to Confucianism, but... other aspects." Gai Nie His eyes turned to Yuki Onna, "Miss Yuki Ono should understand this."

"Ok?"

Gai Nie's words aroused greater doubts in everyone, and they all looked at Xue Nu.

After Xue Nu hesitated for a moment, she asked Gai Nie:

"So...that girl is also the sword master?"

"It should be right." Gai Nie nodded.

After a conversation between the two, Master Ban and others came to their senses.

The word ‘sword master’ clearly corresponds to a sword.

As for the sword related to the snow girl, do we need to talk about it?

Of course it was the green light sword given to her by Gu Xun.

In this way, according to Gai Nie, that means that Shushan girl Shi Lan also has a sword given to her by Gu Xun.

In other words, she has something to do with quicksand.

As the founder of Quicksand, Zhang Liang would naturally not ignore her personal safety.

This news left everyone in the Mo family at a loss what to say.

It's certainly a good thing to be sure that Tianming is safe, but it's a bit hard to say if it's related to Gu Xun.

Thief Zhi twisted his face and questioned:

"Mr. Gai, are you sure about this?"

"I remember Mr. Xiaoyao mentioned before that Shushan was captured by the empire not long ago."

"That's why these people from Shushan came to the Songhai area."

"That little girl's status in Shushan seems to be quite high. Her relationship with Gu Xun, who is the imperial advisor... must be very bad, right?"

Gai Nie replied silently after a moment, "I can only confirm that she is indeed the sword master chosen by Gu Xun."

"As for the specific entanglement between her, Gu Xun, and Liusha..." Ge Nie shook his head, "I don't know."

In fact, Genie felt that they were simply deceiving themselves.

Shushan has a bad relationship with the Empire, but your Mohist family has a very good relationship with the Empire?

Shi Lan's status in Shushan is not low. Is Xue Nu, the leader of the Moh family, just a pawn?

The lessons learned from the past are all around us, but if we still struggle with this kind of problem, isn’t it because we are full and have nothing to do?

However, the sword master is a kind person after all, and he is embarrassed to speak so bluntly.

The atmosphere on the field temporarily fell into dead silence.

Master Ben stroked his beard and smacked his lips for a long time before speaking and breaking the silence:

"If that's the case, the situation over at Tianming should indeed be safe for the time being, so we can leave it alone."

"What do you think, Mr. Guy?"

Gai Nie responded calmly, "The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the other party. It is necessary to fully shrink and reduce all unnecessary activities."

"The mirage is well-protected and has experts from the entire Yin-Yang family stationed there. It would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to save people from there. We really should put it aside for the time being."

To sum it up in one word - medium!

Although Gai Nie was worried about Tianming, he also knew that he was not Tianming's nanny and could not be by his side at all times.

Thief Zhi followed up and said, "Then our next focus is to find a way to catch Fatty Ding, right?"

Master Ben nodded, "That's right."

"The whereabouts of the chef are still unknown. The situation is a bit abnormal. Old man, I am always worried about some conspiracy."

"This matter was also mentioned in Zifang's letter."

"He also hasn't been able to determine the exact location of Chef Ding, but he has a more credible guess."

"Where?" Big Hammer blurted out.

Master Ban looked around the crowd and uttered three words:
  "Tooth-gnawing prison!"

As soon as these three words were spoken, Tao Zhi suddenly took a breath of air:
  "hiss!"

"That's not a good place to be!"

Tooth-gnawing Prison, formerly known as Ziya Prison, was built by Jiang Taigong based on the Qimen Dunjia technique. It is located in a hidden place on the coast of Songhai City.

After Qin destroyed Qi, it naturally became Qin's prison, known as the fang that swallows life.

The black swordsman Shengqi, who had successfully escaped from the prisons of the six countries, was imprisoned in the Tooth-gnawing Prison after being captured by Gai Nie. He has never escaped since then, which shows the tightness of his guard.

This kind of place is not a good place even for the King of Thieves.

Sledgehammer laughed when he heard this, "Haha, there is something even a thief like you is afraid of."

"Am I afraid?" Thief Zhi's competitive spirit was immediately aroused, and he pointed at himself with his backhand, "There is no place in the world that I can't get into!"

"I just said that because I was worried about Fatty Ding."

"Since you are so confident, I will leave the information about the Tooth-gnawing Prison to you." Master Ban immediately dispatched the task.

"Ah?" Taizhi's face immediately twisted into a bitter look.

But looking around, everyone looked at him with an attitude of giving up, and even if Thieves Zhi wanted to refuse, he couldn't open his mouth.

"Alas..." With a long sigh, the thief swung the yellow hair on his forehead and said in a very arrogant voice, "Then give me the bones of the best thief in the world."

Master Ban looked at the funny Thief Zhi, waved his hand and said:
  "Okay, no more joking."

"Xiao Zhi, please inquire about the Tooth-Eating Prison as soon as possible. The cook may not be able to hold on for long."

"After we figure it out, we can formulate a rescue plan as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Thieves Zhi smiled and gestured.

Master Ban nodded, then glanced at everyone, "The last thing is about the farmer."

"Farmer?" Everyone became interested immediately.

Master Ban immediately told the news, "According to Zifang, the Shennong Order is suspected to have appeared in Dongjun."

"Shennong Order?"

Sledgehammer touched his head with a puzzled look on his face, "I remember, isn't this thing only made by peasant heroes?"

"The farm has a new hero!?" he said in surprise.

"Impossible!" Gao Jianli directly denied Big Iron Hammer's groundless speculation.

"Many years ago, when the peasant hero Kui Tian Guang disappeared, he also lost the Shennong Order."

"Now even if the Sixth Hall of the Nongjia reaches an agreement and elects a new hero, there is still no order to be issued."

Bang!Bang!Bang!
  Master Ban knocked on the table, attracted everyone's attention, and emphasized:
  "Whether the farmer elected a new leader, or whether it was the new leader who issued the Shennong Order, is not the key to us."

"What we want to pay attention to is the content of the Shennong Order and its impact on the Qinglong Plan!"

"Uh..." Tao Zhi touched his chin and asked, "Is there any specific news now?"

Master Ben shook his head, "Not yet."

"But we must prepare early. Now East County is completely in chaos."
