Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 986 It’s better to be silent
  "Drive! Drive!"

"drive!"

One after another shouts resounded across the desolate plains in the middle of the night, and dozens of weak firelights connected into a string of thin fire snakes, wandering in a twisted way on the road that was not a road.

The wheels of the speeding carriage rolled on the uneven ground, almost flying close to the ground. However, the Xiang clan members driving the carriage didn't care about being completely out of their seats, and just desperately urged the horses to speed up.

They were running for their lives, and it was an escape that they didn't know if there was enough time.

Chen He entangled Wei Zhuang, while Xiao Ling volunteered to stay to deal with the Cang Wolf King and the Bone Demon.

Xiang Liang and others took the wounded Gai Nie and ran away quickly.

In the carriage, Tianming asked Ganie who was resting with his eyes a little worried, "Uncle, tell me, eldest brother, and that strange person later, are they in danger?"

Gai Nie slowly opened his eyes and looked at Tianming, reassuringly saying, "Don't worry, they...will be fine."

For descendants of strategists, analyzing the situation is the basic operation.

No matter how fiercely Chen He and Wei Zhuang fought, they were essentially on the same team. It was just a friendly discussion. Could it be a joke?

Xiao Ling only needs to deal with the Blue Wolf King and the Bone Demon casually, and he can escape on his own when the convoy is a little farther away.

Even if Xiao Ling doesn't delay enough, it won't be a big problem for the two of them to catch up with the convoy again, as long as the real trouble Wei Zhuang is still entangled with Chen He.

Taoist magic has always been famous for being ethereal and illusory, unpredictable and difficult to understand. Even Wei Zhuang would have a hard time retaining a Tianzong master who was determined to run away, not to mention the two bones demon and Canglang King. A killer.

If he wasn't confident enough about the safety of the people behind him, Ge Nie would never run away with the convoy and would stay at the scene no matter what.

Shao Yu on the side was not as worried as Tian Ming. He was more confused. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Gai, I always feel... very awkward."

Tian Ming poked his head in and asked curiously, "What's so awkward?"

"Could it be that...you can't accept leaving your companions and running away?"

Tian Ming, who asked and answered his own questions, directly regarded his own thoughts as the correct answer, and patted Shao Yu in a mature manner, "I understand your mood. To be honest, I also hate the behavior of abandoning my companions, but Shao Yu, , sometimes there’s nothing we can do.”

"At least uncle said that nothing will happen to them. There is nothing to blame themselves for."

Tian Ming, who has a reckless and stupid personality due to the curse seal, is not really a congenital intellectual defector after all. He is overly emotional and does not mind staying behind to live and die with his companions at critical moments, but the kindness in his heart also makes him know , You can do this kind of thing yourself, you have no right to drag others along.

There are over a hundred people from the Xiang clan traveling with us, so we must give them a chance to survive, right?
  The uncle was seriously injured and didn't have much fighting power at all. He had to be allowed to leave, right?
  And if you stay, you won't be able to do anything except add trouble, so what are you going to do if you don't leave?

The more dangerous the situation, the more alert Tianming's brain will be due to the pressure. Maybe he can't think clearly about these things in his mind, but he will subconsciously make the right choice as much as possible.

However, Shao Yu, who has been taught by Fan Zeng since he was a child, certainly understands these principles - although he doesn't really remember much of what he taught - he is not going to feel sorry for himself for his own powerlessness at this time.

The reason he felt awkward was that the helper who saved his side seemed to be very close to the enemy!

"Mr. Gai, I have occasionally heard the name of Ben Lei Sword Master Chen He before. Isn't he the queen of the Qi clan? He is also very hostile to the empire. Why do you feel that you have a good relationship with that guy Wei Zhuang?"

"I'm not very clear about this, but the connection between Chen He and Wei Zhuang mainly lies in the state master Gu Xun." Gai Nie pondered for a moment and replied.

"Uncle Gu?" Tianming also became interested upon hearing this, "I just heard that person mention 'Mr. Gu'... I should be talking about Uncle Gu. What is their relationship?" "I don't know the specifics. "Gai Nie shook his head first and reluctantly said some vague information, "It's just that the relationship between Chen He and Gu Xun should have been maintained for many years."

"Many years ago, before...Qin's Wenxinhou Lu Buwei fell, the two of them were very close friends."

"In fact, I once heard that the Ben Lei Sword was given to Chen He by Gu Xun."

"Ah? Are they so close?" Shao Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this information.

Can a famous sword ranked tenth in the sword manual be given away casually?

This relationship... feels even more awkward.

Tian Ming was counting on his fingers at this time, "Uncle Gu has a good relationship with that white-haired man. That Ben Lei Sword Master Chen He you are talking about has a relationship with Uncle Gu. Well... we also have a good relationship with Uncle Gu. As a result, the white-haired man came to chase us, and Chen He helped us fight the white-haired man..."

"Uncle Gu is the national advisor of the empire, and the white-haired man seems to be hired by the empire to deal with us, but Chen He and we are not at odds with the empire..."

"Oh, by the way, there is also the beautiful elder sister from before. She seems to be at odds with the empire, but she has a different relationship with us and Uncle Gu..."

"This... this is too messy!" Tianming put away his fingers that couldn't be broken, covered his face and howled, "No wonder Shaoyu, you feel awkward..."

Shaoyu was just a little awkward at first, but after Tianming analyzed it, he felt...even more awkward.

The liver hurts!
  Is the relationship already so complicated?

Gai Nie was calm and composed, and reminded lightly, "Tianming, you have to remember that the empire... cannot simply be regarded as an individual equal to a human being."

"..." Tianming felt that there should be a few question marks floating on his head, and responded speechlessly, "Uncle, I think what you said is not simple..."

Shao Yu was more mature and analyzed rationally, "Mr. Gai, do you mean the factional disputes within the empire?"

"Huh..." Gai Nie sighed and replied simply, "This is a correct understanding, but it's more than that..."

Shaoyu and Tianming became more and more confused, but Gai Nie didn't want to continue explaining.

Wei Zhuang's dramatic attitude was obvious to Ge Nie, and it was not difficult for him to guess that for today's quicksand, the empire... or the will of the First Emperor was not important, nor was the status of the anti-Qin forces.

They obviously have a more important plan, and everything else is just convenient.

To Wei Zhuang and others, the lives of the tribesmen that Shao Yu valued were no different than grass on the roadside. They could be harvested by passing by when they were bored, or indulged in carelessly without asking.

Justice and kindness, right and wrong, what Tianming cares about, to Wei Zhuang and others, are just meaningless words that exist in people's mouths, minds, and hearts, but do not exist in reality - at least not in reality. reality now.

Gainie himself agrees with this point, and this is exactly the dream he has been pursuing throughout his life.

But how could he explain this to these two children in detail?

It's better to be speechless.
