A Kind of Yearning
The Qin army gathered in Puyang City, and Xia Ji Bai Qianhong immediately ordered them to cross the river and head towards Guiling. Guiling City was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. After the Qin army came to the border, they repeatedly asked the heroes in the city to fight. A few battles that were not considered too big were fought consecutively. Under the planning and command of the Mohist tycoon Lu Zhenlang, Guiling City's defensive wall looked a little broken from the outside, but it could still be considered as impregnable.
At this moment, not far from Guiling City, in the Qin army's commander's tent, Bai Qianhong was feeling rather irritated. Even the words she spoke were filled with impatience. She repeatedly accused her personal maid, Lu Xiu, of not serving her well. The servant girl, Lu Xiu, who had been by Bai Qianhong's side since she was young, did not feel offended by the Young Miss 'accusation at all. Instead, she thought that since Zi Yu left, she had not served the Young Miss well and had flattered her even more attentively. However, the reason why Bai Qianhong was stomping her feet in anger in the commander's tent was not because in the two months since they had surrounded Guiling, she had lost three to four thousand of her soldiers under the city wall, and she had nothing to do with Luxiu. It was because she was really dissatisfied with the new clothes that had just been brought up by the Qin army.
Bai Qianhong angrily threw the new clothes she had tried on to the ground and cursed,""Humph! This piece of land is fit for me, Bai Qianhong? The servant girl Lu Xiu had never seen the young miss so impatient. In fact, in Lu Xiu's eyes, every piece of clothing on the ground that was despised by the young miss to the point of being worthless was the meticulous work of an expert craftsman. Although this was what Greensleeves thought, she said,""Miss, don't worry, there's still one more in the box.”After saying that, he carefully opened a new set of clothes that he had hidden at the bottom of his chest. It was a light purple brocade robe woven with two white fish. Bai Qianhong closed her eyes and let Lu Xiu help her change her clothes in a fit of pique. Lu Xiu gently tied the brocade belt around Bai Qianhong's soft and seemingly boneless waist. She then looked around for a long time and praised,""Alright. Miss! You look so beautiful."
Bai Qianhong opened her eyes and carefully observed the image reflected on the large bronze mirror that had been specially brought for her. The light purple robe she was used to wearing was embroidered with two white carps, one big and one small. The big one was embroidered with the image of a carp leaping into the dragon abyss. It extended from the left sleeve to the front of the robe. The originally obedient fish seemed to be flying with a raise of her hand. The small white fish was hidden in the lower right corner of the robe, and as the beauty in the mirror moved, it was faintly discernible. It was also very graceful, and even Bai Qianhong herself could see it. Seeing that the Young Miss was finally satisfied, Lu Xiu gently exhaled and hurriedly began to dress Bai Qianhong so that the Young Miss would not be late. Green Sleeves was putting on a golden rock adorned with eight sparkling and translucent white jade beads for the young miss that she was most proud of, while she was praising her casually. However, Bai Qianhong did not hear a single word that Lu Xiu said. This was because her thoughts had already flown 800 miles away. She only thought,'In this case, that person definitely can't not notice me, right?”
When Lu Xiu felt that the young miss couldn't be more beautiful, Bai Qianhong walked out of the commander's tent. Who knew that she would turn around and come back after taking two steps. "Miss, what's wrong?" Green Sleeves asked curiously. Was there anything inappropriate?”
"It's nothing." "Go, bring me my twin sabers," Bai Qianhong ordered coldly.”Upon hearing this, Lu Xiu hurriedly took down the pair of Blood Sealing Mandarin Duck Blades hanging in the tent and gently inserted them into the brocade belt around Bai Qianhong's waist. " Miss," Greensleeves asked carefully,""Didn't you only meet people in the camp? Why did you bring a knife?" Bai Qianhong ignored her and walked away.
Along the way, Bai Qianhong looked at the people who were staring at her with disdain. In her heart, these people were all peddlers and pawns, all of them unbearably vulgar. Only she, Xia Ji Bai Qianhong, was a first-class person. Because of this, Bai Qianhong couldn't stand the fact that someone dared to treat her like a mortal. Before leaving the commander's tent, Bai Qianhong had already made a decision." If he doesn't pay attention to me this time, then…then I'll kill him."”
Bai Qianhong passed through layers of tents and came to a forest that was specially left for her. In order to prevent people from setting up an ambush, the trees and trees here had been cut down long before the Qin army came to set up camp. Only this forest had been preserved under Bai Qianhong's request of not wanting to see a single flower or tree. Bai Qianhong nodded at the Phantom Valley disciples guarding the forest and asked,""Where's Lord Wei? Is he here yet?" When the Ghost Valley disciple heard Bai Qianhong's gentle question, he suddenly felt that it was not in vain for him to be able to live in this world. He hurriedly replied,"Yes, sir! Lord Wei had been ordered to wait in the forest.”
The breeze in the forest caressed his face. Other than the rustling of leaves, there was no other sound. Compared to the tens of thousands of heads in the camp, it was thousands of times better. For this, although Wei Zhuang had been waiting for more than 15 minutes, he was not in a hurry. Now that he saw Bai Qianhong walking slowly along the path in the forest, he cupped his hands and said,""Miss Bai."
"Lord Wei." Bai Qianhong stood in front of Wei Zhuang and returned the greeting with a smile." I'll have to trouble Lord Wei to make a trip to Guiling City."”As Bai Qianhong spoke, she carefully observed the way the man in front of her was sizing her up. However, the expression in Wei Zhuang's eyes once again disappointed her. Bai Qianhong held back her anger and tried her best to remain calm.""I have repeatedly troubled Lord Wei Zhuang. It's just that this package has just been delivered from Phantom Valley. Lord Wei, please make a trip to the city again and pass this item to Zi Yu.”
Wei Zhuang looked at the small cloth bag that Bai Qianhong had placed on his palm. Although he did not know what was in the bag, since Bai Qianhong was willing to transport him all the way from Xianyang before attacking Qi, it was naturally something of utmost importance. Wei Zhuang carefully put the cloth bag into his pocket and said,"Don't worry, Miss Qing Bai. I will act according to the situation and send him in these few days. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave.”Bai Qianhong saw that Wei Zhuang wanted to leave her side so quickly and pursed her lips tightly. After a while, she squeezed out a sentence from between her lips," Yes, you can leave."”
Wei Zhuang nodded slightly, turned around and walked away. However, before he could take four or five steps, he felt a strong wind behind his head. What kind of person was Wei Zhuang? He immediately knew that someone had attacked him. Before the person's saber arrived, the saber wind arrived first. There was a thick smell of blood and a hint of peony fragrance. Wei Zhuang knew that the person who attacked him was none other than Ghost Valley's Xia Ji.
Wei Zhuang turned around to dodge. When he looked back, he saw Bai Qianhong holding a pair of Blood Closed-mandarin Duck Blades in her hands. The blade was as thin as a cicada's wing and shaped like a crescent moon. Other than the thinness of the blade in his right hand, there was nothing special about it. The blade in his left hand was extremely short, only the length of a finger. Even if it cut a vital part of the body, it was hard to imagine what fatal damage it could bring to the enemy. Bai Qianhong's first slash missed, and her attacks were even more merciless. In the blink of an eye, she slashed again. Bai Qianhong performed the Blood-Sealing Saber Technique that was passed down in her family to the fullest. Her light purple brocade robe danced in the air. However, what accompanied the beauty's dance was not music, but the buzzing sound of the thin saber cutting through the air.
"Why did you attack?" Wei Zhuang asked as he dodged," Why do you want me to die?”
Bai Qianhong didn't stop. She slashed twice more." Why aren't you fighting back? Draw your sword!"
Wei Zhuang jumped back and dodged three more moves." I don't hit women."”
"What's wrong? Do you look down on women?"
"No!" Wei Zhuang used his scabbard to block the mandarin duck knife that was about to cut his eyes. "Then do it!" At this point, Bai Qianhong was about to finish using the Blood Sealing Saber Technique. In other words, the other party only dodged and did not attack, giving him time to use the saber technique. If it was any other day, Bai Qianhong would have stopped long ago. However, at this moment, she was acting shamelessly and pestering him endlessly.
Ever since Wei Zhuang had comprehended the three key moves of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword, he had become extremely familiar with the martial arts of the world. He knew that his martial arts skills were far superior to Bai Qianhong's. However, he did not understand why someone as intelligent as Bai Qianhong would force him to make a move despite knowing that she was no match for him. Moreover, everyone knew that Xia Ji was ranked second among the Four Demonic Puppets of the Ghost Valley because she was intelligent and clever, not because she had superior martial arts. If Bai Qianhong really wanted his life, why didn't she send Elder Chun and the others to do it? However, if he didn't want to take his life, why did he attack his vital parts? The more Wei Zhuang thought about it, the more confused he became.
"Pah! You just look down on women!" Bai Qianhong saw that Wei Zhuang was staring at her thoughtfully, and a blush flashed across her face. Other than hitting him, she cursed. "No, I can't! I don't fight women because I don't want to hurt women and children.”Helplessly, Wei Zhuang dodged three more moves of the saber technique that he had already seen before.
"Who are the women and children?" "You…You're looking down on me!" Bai Qianhong shouted in exasperation.”After saying that, he kicked. "What did Young Lady say?" Wei Zhuang replied,"Miss is the famous Xia Ji, Bai Qianhong. I have always admired her."”"Then do it! Could it be that I can't even block one of your moves?”
" Since that's the case….." Wei Zhuang took a flying step back and escaped from Bai Qianhong's attack net," Miss Bai, I'll make my move now."”
"Let's do it! " Who asked you to…" Bai Qianhong was about to say " who asked you to speak first ", but before she could finish her sentence, she was already suppressed by the Sword Qi from all directions. Bai Qianhong clearly saw Wei Zhuang draw his sword and clearly saw Wei Zhuang's attack, but she was unable to dodge at all. He heard the golden bracelet on his hair make a soft sound as it was shaken by the sword qi, and then the eight white jade beads fell to the ground. Wei Zhuang's move was the same move that Ge Nia had used to almost take his life back then. However, Ge Nie's movements were as heavy as Mount Tai and as slow as it could be, while Wei Zhuang's movements were as fast as snow. In the blink of an eye, he slashed out eight times in a row. With one slash, he cut off a white jade bead from a white and red hair accessory, causing the bead to fall to the ground. However, the Golden Step Shaker was not damaged.
Wei Zhuang sheathed his sword and said,"Now can you tell me why you want my life?"”
" I…I…" Bai Qianhong was stunned at first. She had always been proud of being able to distinguish between different martial arts techniques. However, the Hundred Steps Flying Sword that Wei Zhuang had used was so beautiful that she forgot to retaliate. She could not retaliate either. Then, when Wei Zhuang interrogated her for the reason, her cheeks unconsciously blushed. She stomped her foot and said,"I won't say it." Let me tell you, this is my favorite hair accessory. You have to pick up every bead for me.”Wei Zhuang was baffled by Bai Qianhong, but he still bent down and helped her pick up the beads one by one from the fallen leaves in the forest. Wei Zhuang poured the beads into Bai Qianhong's hands one by one." Can you tell me now?”A soft voice as soft as a mosquito said,"Who taught you…"
"Ah?"
"Who taught you not to look at me?"
"Not looking at you? What does that mean?"
" You, you…" Bai Qianhong was both embarrassed and angry. While Wei Zhuang was still in deep thought, she used the mandarin duck knife in her left hand to cut the flesh on Wei Zhuang's finger. "Young Lady, what are you doing?" Wei Zhuang pressed on the small wound that was less than half an inch long and asked in confusion.
"Humph! I'd like to see if you're begging me or not.”" Let me tell you," Bai Qianhong said." The reason why this saber technique passed down in my family is called the Blood-Sealing Saber Technique is because this unassuming left-handed dagger is coated with Blood Devil Ram Poison Powder." As long as you are injured by it, regardless of the size of the wound, without my unique antidote within three days, you will definitely die within seven days. How was it? If you beg me nicely, I might give you the antidote.”Bai Qianhong's eyes were filled with anticipation as she spoke slower and slower. She only hoped that Wei Zhuang would open his mouth to say a few nice words to her and not ignore her.
Wei Zhuang watched Bai Qianhong's every move. He didn't know why Bai Qianhong wanted to take his life. It was only now that he saw the same look in her eyes as he looked at Duanmu Rong that he suddenly understood. Wei Zhuang unconsciously took a step back and took a deep breath," Miss Bai! You don't know. I, Wei Zhuang, have traveled the martial world alone. I have…I have…I have long been disheartened. Dead or alive, it's the same to me. Whether I die on the battlefield or in your hands, it doesn't make much of a difference. The medicinal powder that can cure the poison of the Blood Ram must be very difficult to concoct. It's better to leave it to those who are more important than my Wei Manor. If Young Lady has nothing else to say, I will take my leave now.”Wei Zhuang turned around and left.
"You…Stop right there!" Bai Qianhong stood behind Wei Zhuang and was on the verge of tears." Wei Zhuang! Let me tell you, as long as it's something I want, there's nothing I can't get. " Come back…Come back…" However, Wei Zhuang did not stop, leaving Bai Qianhong alone in the forest.
After Bai Qianhong returned, she smashed and smashed the tent that Lu Xiu had just cleaned up into a mess. Lu Xiu picked up the Golden Whip that Bai Qianhong had thrown to the ground when she had lost her temper. Seeing that all the white jade beads on it had fallen off, she asked in disbelief,""What's wrong with Miss? Could it be that someone dares to bully you?"
"Bully me?" "How can you bully me?" Bai Qianhong said angrily. He…he…I…I…"
"Miss, tell me, which audacious and reckless fellow dared to bully you?”Lu Xiu had been serving Bai Qianhong for a long time and knew her temperament. If this person's martial arts were inferior to the Young Lady's, he would have been killed by her. She thought for a moment and said,""Yes! Miss, tell me who it is. I'll ask Grandpa Chun to kill him to vent your anger. Miss, are you going to cut him into pieces? Or…"
"How dare you!" Bai Qianhong didn't wait for Lu Xiu to finish her sentence. With a slap, she slapped Lu Xiu's face. Green Sleeve covered her face in disbelief. "Don't go! You are not allowed to go without my orders! Do you know?" "Yes…then I'll go make Miss a cup of tea to calm her anger.”Lu Xiu said and was about to make tea when Bai Qianhong stopped her. "Where is the medicinal powder for the Blood Ram? Where did you put it?" "Here." "Yes." Bai Qianhong's eyes were red as she said weakly,""Send…send…Lord Wei Zhuang.”
"Lord Wei? Was he the one who bullied Miss? If he was poisoned by the Blood Demon Ram, why would he waste the powder to save him?”"You're so talkative!" "Just go when I tell you to!" Bai Qianhong said angrily. What are you talking about?" Lu Xiu was afraid that she would be slapped by the young miss again, so she hurriedly replied,""Yes, yes, yes. I'll go now." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave the tent. "Wait! Come back!" "Miss…?" "You have to tell me clearly how to use this powder. If anything happens to Lord Wei, I…I'll pay with your life.”“……”
Lu Xiu followed Bai Qianhong's instructions and immediately went to Wei Zhuang's tent. She handed the medicinal powder to Wei Zhuang and explained in detail how to use it. After Lu Xiu left, Wei Zhuang pondered in his tent. The more he thought about why Bai Qianhong was interested in him, the more Duanmu Rong's face appeared in his mind. Wei Zhuang sighed. In fact, ever since he witnessed Duanmu Rong's departure, Wei Zhuang had tried his best not to think about her. However, at this moment, Wei Zhuang vaguely understood that even if he did not think about it or ask about it, the image of some people would still be hidden well and well, causing his heart to be either carved, ground, twisted, or shattered.
Seeing the new moon rising outside the tent, Wei Zhuang sighed in his heart: "It seems that the word 'love' is really easy to write. Why bother thinking about it? Let's enter the city early in the night." He immediately applied the antidote and packed up his things. He took advantage of the night to leave the Qin army's camp. He planned to sneak into Guiling tonight and hand the item over to Purple Whisper. He left the camp and headed west. He walked for about two hours, but when he was about to leave the forest, he stopped.
Ever since the battle between the two sides, it was extremely rare to see even a mouse in the forest outside Guiling City, let alone a human. At this moment, a young girl in red was lying in the forest, sleeping soundly with her elbow as a pillow.
Wei Zhuang was suspicious, so he deliberately stepped harder, causing the broken branches and leaves on the ground to creak. The girl was startled awake by the sound. She suddenly turned around and turned her head. Her big eyes rolled around. The expression on her face changed from shock to alertness, and from alertness to curiosity.
Wei Zhuang saw that this girl was about fifteen years old, and her expression was changing. She was smart and beautiful, unlike ordinary people. She seemed to know martial arts, but he couldn't tell what martial arts she had. He couldn't figure out her background at the moment, so he asked,"Little girl, why are you sleeping here alone so late at night?”The girl in red narrowed her eyes and sized up Wei Zhuang from head to toe."Uncle is! It's so late, and you're wandering around here alone. Aren't you afraid of danger?”
Wei Zhuang thought to himself,"When did I move around?" In terms of danger, it would be easy for me to kill you.”"I'm just passing through this place."”"Oh! I see." The girl patted the empty space beside her and added some dead leaves to make it more comfortable to sit up. Then she said,"Uncle, why don't you sit with us? Come! I have some biscuits here. Uncle must be hungry, right?”Wei Zhuang saw that she was innocent and did not doubt him at all. She even treated him to a pancake and felt a little embarrassed. The girl in red took out half a pancake and handed it to Wei Zhuang. Wei Zhuang refused to take it, but the girl forced the pancake into his hand and said,"Although these cakes are not delicious, there is a war going on here and we can't get food. Uncle, I advise you to turn back as soon as possible. I've already been trapped here for seven to eight days during the war between Qi and Qin. It's very dangerous!" Wei Zhuang pretended to eat a pancake and sat beside the girl. He nodded and asked,"Since it's dangerous, why aren't you afraid?”The girl in red hesitated for a moment before replying,""I'm scared! But no matter what, I must find a way to enter Guiling City.”
Wei Zhuang looked at her in confusion and asked,"What are you doing in Guiling City? Is your family in the city?" " Not my family, I don't have a family, he…he is my…" The young girl's cheeks flushed as she spoke. She jumped up from the ground and stomped her feet to change her words,""Aiya, uncle! Anyway, that person…he must be very worried about me. I have to hurry into the city to let him know that I'm fine.”
Wei Zhuang saw that the girl was so straightforward. Although they didn't know each other, he had a good impression of her. He really didn't want her to go and die. "Little girl, even the Qin soldiers can't enter Guiling City now, let alone you." "This battle has been going on for more than two months, and both sides have suffered casualties. Perhaps…" Wei Zhuang couldn't bear to finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear. The person the girl was looking for was probably already dead. Wei Zhuang thought that the girl would give up on the idea of entering the city after hearing his words. Who would have thought that the red-robed girl would not show the slightest worry on her face when she heard this. She only turned her head to look at the city. The moonlight reflected on her face, making it seem as if it was covered with a layer of fog. The girl said softly,"It won't happen. He and I once high-fived three times on a small hill and swore that neither of us would die earlier than the other. We must be together and take care of each other for the rest of our lives.”As she spoke, she looked at Wei Zhuang, her big eyes bright and clear." Uncle, don't worry. He must be waiting for me."
The young girl didn't say anything else after she finished speaking and just sat down again. Wei Zhuang's heart shook, thinking,"There are actually such feelings in this world." Compared to me, she's so lucky.”However, he still didn't believe it and asked,""Are you really not afraid of death? This city will be broken in the blink of an eye. Even if he is not dead now and can still meet you, after you meet, you will both die in the chaos of war. Was that person really that important? So important that you're willing to sacrifice your life?”
If it was a month ago, the young girl's heart would still be a little hazy and chaotic. However, during this period of time, she had been trekking alone. It was as if she was peeling silk from a cocoon, peeling off all the confusion in her heart. With every step she took towards the city, the girl became clearer. Now that the city was right in front of her, she no longer had any doubts. "Silly uncle, he is the most important person in my life.”The girl in red smiled at Wei Zhuang. Her smile was warm and proud." I'd rather die than never see him again.”"Is that so?"
Wei Zhuang smiled, but his smile came from the shock of being struck by lightning. Wei Zhuang looked at the young girl sitting beside him. He didn't understand why the two of them were carrying the same kind of longing, but why would they have two kinds of worries? "Little girl, what's your name?”
Wei Zhuang's voice sounded a little choked.
"My name is Gao Yue."
"Alright." Wei Zhuang secretly made a decision in his heart. No matter who this girl liked, he must fulfill her wish so that they could meet again. "Come, Miss Gao, I'll take you to the city."”
Next to a well in Guiling City, the young disciples of the scholarly faction, Jiang Zhaotai and Yang Anyuan, were busy drawing water to wash the blood off the bodies of those who had just returned from the battlefield. On the other hand, Tan Zhi of the scholarly faction had brought along Liu Bi and Jing Tianming, who were fighting on the battlefield for the first time, as well as Hua Shengjiang and Qin Zhao of the Mohist faction. They were huddled together as they bathed and discussed the situation with saliva flying everywhere. Although Tan Zhi's body was covered in the blood of the Qin army, he seemed to be in a very good mood. He laughed loudly and said,"Today is great. Thirty. I killed 30 Qin dogs, two more than yesterday.”Hua Shengjiang was squatting on the ground, half-naked. When he heard Tan Zhique's words, he immediately stood up and hit Tan Zhique with the wet towel in his hand." I heard you bragging here. Why don't you think about who helped you block the guy who ambushed you when you killed the 29th Qin soldier?" If it wasn't for me, you would have been the thirtieth. Hehe." "What nonsense are you spouting? I was the one who helped you block the sneak attack.”"It's me." "It was clearly me!"
Just as Tan Zhi was arguing with Hua Shengjiang, he saw Liu Bi, who was going out for the first time today, standing at the side. His hands were trembling and his teeth were chattering. Tan Zhi understood that since Liu Bi started practicing martial arts. It was his first time killing someone today, so he knew what kind of impact killing someone would have. He then took a step forward and patted Liu Bi, comforting him,""Relax, Fifth Junior Brother. You've already done very well today." "Very good?" Hua Shengjiang interrupted," Hey! Liu Bi, how many did you kill today?" "Two."
"Hahahaha!" Although Tan Zhi tried his best to endure it, he could not help but laugh out loud with Hua Shenjiang.
"Brother Jing, what about you?" Hua Shengjiang saw that Jing Tianming only cared about cleaning and did not even chat with them. He asked mockingly,""How many did your Hundred Steps Flying Sword kill today?”
"Is it important?" After more than two months of life and death together, Jing Tianming had long become good friends with Hua Shengjiang and Tan Zhi, but he still couldn't stand it and said snappily,"War is about killing people. If you kill them, what's there to compare? If you ask me…"
When Tan Zhi and Hua Shengjiang saw that Jing Tianming was full of complaints again, they looked at each other, and their eyes revealed a mischievous expression that rarely appeared in adults. They stood at attention at the same time and shouted at Jing Tianming in unison,"This lowly one will obey, Great General Jing Tianming.”"You…you two bastards! You're messing with me again." "Hahahahaha."
After the three of them had finished cleaning, they walked together to the food shed. In order to save food, Lu Zhenlang had specially set up a food shed in the east of the city. Everyone in Guiling City, regardless of their status, ate here. When the three of them arrived, they encountered a group of martial arts seniors discussing the battle situation. Lu Yuanding, a disciple of the Eight Trigrams School, said proudly as he added water to Xin Qujie's mouth,""Master! In my opinion, Bai Qianhong had suffered many casualties these days, but she was just a person with an empty reputation.”"What do you know, little kid?" Xin Qujie scolded angrily. They also dared to discuss. Go to the side!" Seeing that Lu Yuanding was being lectured, Zhu Qi of the Elixir Prison Sect continued,""Brother Xin, why are you scolding the Primal Cauldron? My thoughts are the same as Yuanding's. Bai Qianhong has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but every time she sends out an army to attack, she only sends a few thousand people. Humph! If it were me, I would send 50,000 troops day and night and attack in three waves. What do you think? Guiling City was guarded by Mister Lu Da, so who knew if he would be able to protect it?”Xin Qujie turned to Zhu Qi and said," Brother Zhu, you might not know. I asked Mister Lu yesterday. Mister Lu said that Bai Qianhong was using a delaying tactic. As the saying went, ten thousand people were injured, and three thousand were self-inflicted. She, Bai Qianhong, has many soldiers and generals, but what about our Guiling City? Can we continue wasting time with her like this?"
"Don't always boost the morale of others and diminish your own prestige, okay?”Zhu Qi had won every battle in the past few months. Although he would lose a few disciples every time he fought, he did not hesitate." None of the heroes in Guiling City are afraid of death!”
Yingchuan Gao Shiran shook his head and said,""I think Brother Xin is right. With Bai Qianhong's strength, she didn't need to do this. He just didn't understand why she was stalling. It was hard to understand. It seems that we can only wait for Brother Xie Shan to return before we can find out the truth.”Zhao Nanyang, the Sect Leader of the Clear Sky Sect, who had been silent at the side, sighed when he heard Gao Shiran mention his beloved disciple."I'm really worried. Although Xie Shan's martial arts can barely be considered a first-class expert, I'm really afraid…really afraid of him…sigh.”
"Sigh what sigh!" Zhu Qi's face turned even redder. He slammed the table and shouted,"Who cares if he can come back or not? How many times have I told you? The most important thing now is to find someone to kill that woman, Bai Qianhong. Once she dies, everything will be fine."
Although Jing Tianming and the others were seated across the table, they could still hear everyone's discussion clearly. Tan Zhi whispered to the two of them,"I heard from Master that Senior Zhao didn't hesitate to send out Mount Song Xie to infiltrate the enemy camp to investigate Bai Qianhong's situation. So there really is such a thing." "Mount Song Xie?" Jing Tianming asked in a low voice.‘Cloud Summoning Hand, Song Xieshan?"
"Yes." Hua Sheng continued to eat as he said,""An idiot."
"What?" Jing Tianming was very surprised." I heard from Master that the Cloud Manipulation Hand is a famous figure.”"Who said that the Cloud-prompting Hand is a fool?" Hua Shengjiang asked. I said that Pill Prison Sect's Zhu Qi was a fool. He was not his disciple. In front of his master, he said that he did not care if he could return or not. Wasn't he an idiot?”
"Shh! Shut up and eat. My master is here." The two of them followed Tan Zhique's gaze and saw Duanmu Jingde with Shao Guangqing, Liu Bi, and the other disciples. The three of them did not say anything else and pretended to eat with all their might.
Everyone in the tent came to greet Duanmu Jingde when they saw him. Even Yang Sun, the Heavenly Eagle of Dong Ou, who had not joined the discussion earlier, came to greet him with his disciples, Xiao Xingdu and the others. Yang Kuanwen did not want to use others to serve his master, so he personally poured food and water for Duanmu Jingde. However, before Duanmu Jingde could take his seat, Zhu Qi of the Elixir Prison Sect had already lost his patience and started talking again. He hoped that he could win over the old master to support him in getting rid of Bai Qianhong.
Next to a well in Guiling City, the young disciples of the scholarly faction, Jiang Zhaotai and Yang Anyuan, were busy drawing water to wash the blood off the bodies of those who had just returned from the battlefield. On the other hand, Tan Zhi of the scholarly faction had brought along Liu Bi and Jing Tianming, who were fighting on the battlefield for the first time, as well as Hua Shengjiang and Qin Zhao of the Mohist faction.

"Is it important?" After more than two months of life and death together, Jing Tianming had long become good friends with Hua Shengjiang and Tan Zhi, but he still couldn't stand it and said snappily,"War is about killing people. If you kill them, what's there to compare? If you ask me…"
When Tan Zhi and Hua Shengjiang saw that Jing Tianming was full of complaints again, they looked at each other, and their eyes revealed a mischievous expression that rarely appeared in adults. They stood at attention at the same time and shouted at Jing Tianming in unison,"This lowly one will obey, Great General Jing Tianming.”"You…you two bastards! You're messing with me again." "Hahahahaha."
After the three of them had finished cleaning, they walked together to the food shed. In order to save food, Lu Zhenlang had specially set up a food shed in the east of the city. Everyone in Guiling City, regardless of their status, ate here. When the three of them arrived, they encountered a group of martial arts seniors discussing the battle situation. Lu Yuanding, a disciple of the Eight Trigrams School, said proudly as he added water to Xin Qujie's mouth,""Master! In my opinion, Bai Qianhong had suffered many casualties these days, but she was just a person with an empty reputation.”"What do you know, little kid?" Xin Qujie scolded angrily. They also dared to discuss. Go to the side!" Seeing that Lu Yuanding was being lectured, Zhu Qi of the Elixir Prison Sect continued,""Brother Xin, why are you scolding the Primal Cauldron? My thoughts are the same as Yuanding's. Bai Qianhong has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but every time she sends out an army to attack, she only sends a few thousand people. Humph! If it were me, I would send 50,000 troops day and night and attack in three waves. What do you think? Guiling City was guarded by Mister Lu Da, so who knew if he would be able to protect it?”Xin Qujie turned to Zhu Qi and said," Brother Zhu, you might not know. I asked Mister Lu yesterday. Mister Lu said that Bai Qianhong was using a delaying tactic. As the saying went, ten thousand people were injured, and three thousand were self-inflicted. She, Bai Qianhong, has many soldiers and generals, but what about our Guiling City? Can we continue wasting time with her like this?"
"Don't always boost the morale of others and diminish your own prestige, okay?”Zhu Qi had won every battle in the past few months. Although he would lose a few disciples every time he fought, he did not hesitate." None of the heroes in Guiling City are afraid of death!”
Yingchuan Gao Shiran shook his head and said,""I think Brother Xin is right. With Bai Qianhong's strength, she didn't need to do this. He just didn't understand why she was stalling. It was hard to understand. It seems that we can only wait for Brother Xie Shan to return before we can find out the truth.”Zhao Nanyang, the Sect Leader of the Clear Sky Sect, who had been silent at the side, sighed when he heard Gao Shiran mention his beloved disciple."I'm really worried. Although Xie Shan's martial arts can barely be considered a first-class expert, I'm really afraid…really afraid of him…sigh.”
"Sigh what sigh!" Zhu Qi's face turned even redder. He slammed the table and shouted,"Who cares if he can come back or not? How many times have I told you? The most important thing now is to find someone to kill that woman, Bai Qianhong. Once she dies, everything will be fine."
Although Jing Tianming and the others were seated across the table, they could still hear everyone's discussion clearly. Tan Zhi whispered to the two of them,"I heard from Master that Senior Zhao didn't hesitate to send out Mount Song Xie to infiltrate the enemy camp to investigate Bai Qianhong's situation. So there really is such a thing." "Mount Song Xie?" Jing Tianming asked in a low voice.‘Cloud Summoning Hand, Song Xieshan?"
"Yes." Hua Sheng continued to eat as he said,""An idiot."
"What?" Jing Tianming was very surprised." I heard from Master that the Cloud Manipulation Hand is a famous figure.”"Who said that the Cloud-prompting Hand is a fool?" Hua Shengjiang asked. I said that Pill Prison Sect's Zhu Qi was a fool. He was not his disciple. In front of his master, he said that he did not care if he could return or not. Wasn't he an idiot?”
"Shh! Shut up and eat. My master is here." The two of them followed Tan Zhique's gaze and saw Duanmu Jingde with Shao Guangqing, Liu Bi, and the other disciples. The three of them did not say anything else and pretended to eat with all their might.
Everyone in the tent came to greet Duanmu Jingde when they saw him. Even Yang Sun, the Heavenly Eagle of Dong Ou, who had not joined the discussion earlier, came to greet him with his disciples, Xiao Xingdu and the others. Yang Kuanwen did not want to use others to serve his master, so he personally poured food and water for Duanmu Jingde. However, before Duanmu Jingde could take his seat, Zhu Qi of the Elixir Prison Sect had already lost his patience and started talking again. He hoped that he could win over the old master to support him in getting rid of Bai Qianhong.
" Well…" As soon as Duanmu Jingde opened his mouth, everyone pricked up their ears to listen." It seems that Sect Leader Zhu's words are not without reason, but I've already said before that the decisions in Guiling City will be made by Big Tycoon Lu. How can I be a person who has made a mistake?”Zhu Qi was greatly disappointed when he heard this. Just as he thought that the scholarly faction would not support him, Duanmu Jingde said,"However, this old man has a disciple. Although he is young, his thoughts are clear. Today is not an official gathering, so why don't you listen to his opinion?”
He waved his hand and pointed at Liu Bi, who was standing behind him. Everyone followed the gesture and looked over. They saw that Liu Bi had finished bathing. Other than a small bloodstain on his right sleeve that could not be wiped away, no one could find any fault with him. At this moment, he and Shao Guangqing were standing side by side behind Duanmu Jingde. Although he did not have Shao Guangqing's beautiful face, he was still gentle and elegant. "Liu Bi." Duanmu Jingde deliberately coughed and said,""Do you understand what everyone means? I would like to hear your opinion.”
"I understand." Although Liu Bi was under everyone's gaze, he answered immediately,""In my opinion, no matter how you kill the evil cult demoness, there will be no harm. It is the chivalrous generation's responsibility to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens, so there is no need for anyone to agree.”Gao Shi Ran heard Liu Bi's words and Lu Zhenlang became a figurehead. He couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. However, he couldn't find any words to refute it, so he could only continue listening. "This matter is open and aboveboard. It's just that it's difficult." Liu Bi swept his gaze across everyone present and continued,""If we were to fight one on one, our side has many experts, what is there to fear? However, ever since the two sides fought, that demoness had never personally entered the battlefield. She had only holed herself up in the Qin army's camp to command. If he sent someone to sneak into the army to assassinate them, it would be extremely difficult. Moreover, the demoness had the protection of the three experts, Yu Ran, Liu Daimei, and Shu Baiyu. If I wanted to lure her out of the Qin army camp, that demoness had no love, no relatives, and no friends. Moreover, the demoness was extremely ruthless. Even if I used her relatives as bait, in my opinion, that demoness would never be willing to risk her life for others.”
When Zhu Qi heard Liu Bi say that this and that would not do, how could he remain calm? "I don't believe that we can't trick her out," he said loudly. Everyone, think again, think again. Humph. Damn witch. When you are alone, I will twist my hands and end you with a crack.”
"Idiot." Ma Da said as he gulped down a mouthful of rice.
"What an idiot." Ma Xianxing swallowed a mouthful of rice and continued.
Zhu Qi didn't have Duanmu Jingde's good cultivation skills. When he heard the Ma brothers mocking him at the other table, he suddenly stood up and rushed over, shouting," Who are you two calling an idiot?”
Who knew that the Ma brothers completely ignored Zhu Qi and only continued to debate. The horse shook its head loudly and said,"A straw bag is a bag in the grass."”Ma Xianxing also shook his head and said,"Wrong, brother! A straw bag is a bag with grass in it.”"This is really strange. Why do you think there are buns hiding in this grass?”"Isn't it strange? Why do you think there's weed filling in this bun?”
When everyone saw that the Ma brothers completely ignored Zhu Qi and only continued to spout nonsense, the kind-hearted ones could not help but break out in a cold sweat for the two of them. Those who had long had opinions about the two brothers 'behavior and behavior watched from the sidelines. Among the crowd, only Jing Tianming knew that the Ma Brothers had no intention of mocking Zhu Qi. It turned out that when Jing Tianming was talking to Tan Zhique and Hua Shengjiang, although he had lowered his voice, Ma Da Sheng and Ma Xianxing had heard it. For the past few months, the Ma brothers had been fighting wars. However, the Qin Dynasty soldiers were wearing the same clothes, wearing the same clothes, and using the same weapons. The war had only lasted for a few days, but the Ma brothers, who had come to watch a good show and broaden their horizons, felt extremely bored. The heroes of Guiling City were all serious and boring. It was rare to hear someone mention such a brilliant and interesting topic as "idiot". The two of them did not care what the guys at the next table were talking about. They had long forgotten about themselves and argued along the way, wishing that they could dig out all their ancestors. However, the two of them spoke louder and louder, and after Zhu Qi's words, they each added the word "idiot".
Zhu Qi saw that the Ma brothers ignored him and continued to talk. He turned around and glared at Gao Shiran, saying, If it wasn't for the fact that we are all here to fight…" Before he could finish his words, Granny Jiang, who had been eating at the same table as the Ma brothers, interrupted,""Oh, so what? What do you want? What can you do? We are here to eat our meal. What we say, what we talk about, what we laugh about, is our Ma family's business. You don't have to worry about it." As the Sect Leader of Danyue Sect, how could Zhu Qi tolerate an old woman being so unreasonable to him? However, despite his anger, he could not help but hold his steel knife. Seeing that Zhu Qi was about to draw his saber, Granny Jiang gently pushed the table forward and stood up. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jing Tianming thought that even if his good friend would be reprimanded, he had to go up and explain the whole story to Zhu Qi.
Before Jing Tianming could make a move, Gao Shiran had already taken the lead. "Granny, you're being rude." Gao Shiran criticized Granny Jiang while bowing and apologizing to Zhu Qi." I'm sorry for the embarrassment, Sect Leader. My brother-in-law has always been like this and has no intention of offending the sect leader. Please forgive me." Gao Shiran turned to Ma Shaolian, who was sitting next to the Ma brothers, and said,""Miriam, take your two brothers and leave first.”When Ma Shaolian heard her husband calling her, she recovered from her trance. She didn't care or ask what had happened just now. She just said to Granny Jiang, Granny, let's go." "Leave? Go where?" "Just follow me." "Aren't we going to war?" "That's great. War is really boring.”"That's right, that's right. Brother, I admire you again. Well said, King of Qi, King of Qin, King of Chu, King of Han, King of Yan... It doesn't matter who becomes king.”"That's right, that's right. They were all equally rotten, equally rotten. Bored to the core, bored to the core. Only after the Ma Brothers 'voices left did the storm gradually calm down.”
