It was already late autumn in Yan Country. Two swordsmen stood side by side by the Yi River.
The river had flowed on this ancient land for countless years. No one knew how many wrongs and grudges it contained.
Today, they had come here to send off a heroic soul. The fierce wind carried a bone-chilling chill, and the cold rain added a hint of desolation to the already sorrowful atmosphere.
Quietly looking at the slightly desolate cenotaph in front of him, everything was already on the bow and had to be fired. His thoughts gradually dispersed along with his grief, arriving at three days ago.
"Big brother! Did General Fan really agree?”His tone was slightly trembling. At this moment, Yan Hong could no longer hide the bitterness and sadness in his heart." Yes, General Fan agreed!”His calm tone and calm expression made it seem as if everything was within his expectations.
" Really, there's no turning back. I really don't wish, don't wish for you, Big Brother…" His face remained unchanged, and his tone did not change at all. At this moment, he felt as if he was the carefree and carefree Gao Jianli who indulged in the zither music. However, Yan Hong noticed that his fingernails had already sunk deep into his flesh. Dark red blood had already dripped from the gaps between his fingers onto the ground, but he did not realize it.
"Brother, you don't have to say anything. The worst that can happen is death. Third Brother once said that death is lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai. Even General Fan is not afraid, so what do I, Jing Ke, care about?”
"Big brother, even if you succeed in your trip to Xianyang, so what? Even if you cut off Ying Zheng's head, do you think you can escape from that dragon's pool and tiger's den unscathed?”
"Xiao Gao! You are wrong. In my opinion, big brother has never thought of retreating in one piece.”He patted Gao Jianli's shoulder, his words revealing a trace of helplessness.
" Little Gao, Zihong is right. I have never thought of leaving in one piece on this trip to Xianyang. The only thing that is holding me back now is to meet Li Ji before meeting Ying Zheng.”At this moment, Jing Ke had finally removed all his pretense. There was a trace of bitterness in his fatigue. He was a hero and a tiger. He was brave on the battlefield. However, he could not win against the tenderness and loyalty. His mind was chaotic. His sword was timid. He was the ultimate killer in five steps. Would he still be able to dominate the world?
"For them, you can give up everything, even your life!”The silence that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted at this moment. He shouted himself hoarse, and in the blink of an eye, cold air filled the air within ten steps, and sword qi swept everywhere.
Noble Sword! He was graceful when he was not unsheathed, but when he was unsheathed, he was decisive.
"I won't let down my feelings, I won't let down my righteousness, I only wish to live and die with you!”
"You! You and Li Ji's love can't be forgotten or broken. Do you remember the oath we made when we became sworn brothers that day? Have you forgotten?”
"I would rather betray the heavens than you, Xiao Gao! One day, when you meet the woman of your life, you will understand my feelings today!”His emotions gradually calmed down, and his heart gradually calmed down. Jing Ke seemed to have regained his usual indifference and calmness.
She slowly walked in front of Jing Ke and placed her hands on his shoulders." Zihong, are you going to persuade me? If that's the case, there's no need to speak!"
"Otherwise! Zi Hong only wanted to say that if one day, the three of us brothers part ways at the bank of Yi River, then Zi Hong and Xiao Gao will wait here for their big brother's family of three to return safely.”A faint smile and a gentle blessing, although illusory. However, it was like a ray of starlight in the dark night. Although it was weak, it sent hope to the despairing people.
His heart trembled. He held Yan Hong's hands tightly, but he could no longer say anything. His fingers moved slightly, but he wrote a word on Yan Hong's palm. He nodded slightly, seemingly casual but extremely solemn. At this moment, his brother no longer needed to explain too much with words!
The three of them looked at each other again. There was no sadness or gloom, only hope and determination.
Looking at the horizon, he gradually got out of his thoughts. His sadness was still there, and his worries had not disappeared. He could only smile bitterly and say in his heart, General Fan, take care.
The familiar footsteps, the gentle figure, and the faint smile seemed to be able to dispel the haze in his heart.
He bowed slightly to Yan Dan and handed the letter to Yan Hong. Although it was a little presumptuous, Yan Dan did not seem to notice it and only smiled kindly.
After a while, he exerted a little force in his hand and shattered the letter. The father and son looked at each other.
"Father, it seems that I should set off.”
"Go-make the best use of the situation and go with the flow.”
"Yes! This child will remember it."

In the State of Qin, the autumn rain in Xianyang was getting colder and colder, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Everything seemed to be filled with the signs of the coming rain.
The passers-by were in a hurry to rush their journey, as if they had no time to look around, but no one knew what kind of waves were hidden under this seemingly calm appearance.
The rain was getting heavier, and the sound of the rain hitting the ground had already covered up the noise of the street. She was holding a paper umbrella alone, but she was strolling leisurely in the pouring rain. Her slender figure revealed an indescribable elegance.
The passers-by who were in a hurry seemed to be unable to enter her line of sight. The reason why she appeared here today was because of a purple qi. Since ancient times, purple qi was the qi of a king!
Under the Heavenly Dao, nine was the extreme number, and there were naturally nine streams of purple qi in the world. Seven parts of the world naturally occupied one stream of purple qi each. Now, the State of Qin had unified the world, and Ying Zheng had monopolized five parts of the purple qi in the world. There was also one part in the State of Qi, one part in the State of Chu, and one part in the State of Yan. At this time, the last bit of the emperor's aura suddenly appeared in Xianyang, which surprised her. She walked on the street and carefully experienced the feeling in her heart. She used a faint aura to find the person who was blessed by the purple qi.
The aura was getting closer and closer, and the feeling was getting stronger and stronger. Her heart was like still water as she searched carefully. However, in the next moment, she was interrupted by a cry of surprise.
"Get out of the way-get out of the way-the horses are spooked!”She saw a beautifully decorated carriage speeding towards her. It was easy for her to avoid it, but she did not know who would be injured by this gorgeous carriage pulled by three horses!
With her personality, she would never allow such a thing to happen. But, this was the place under Ying Zheng's feet. If she were to stop the carriage with her body movement technique, her identity would definitely attract the attention of the net. After all, for a delicate and beautiful lady to be able to stop a crazy carriage, her martial arts must be extraordinary.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. The next moment, the carriage was already in front of him. In the eyes of others, this was just a frightened and weak woman. There was no objection, but they sighed that a beautiful woman was about to die.
But the next moment, a gray figure blocked her way. With a stretch of his ape arms, he exerted strength under his feet, and the carriage stopped steadily in the next second. When she looked up, she saw the appearance of the man in front of her. He was sixteen or seventeen years old, and there was still a trace of childishness on his face. At first glance, she would not think that he was a man born with divine strength.
Everything returned to silence. The young man quietly walked to the side and sat down on the ground. It was only then that she noticed a dead person placed beside the young man. From the looks of it, the dead person was the young man's twin brother. However, from his thin physique, the dead child most likely died of illness or hunger!
"This warrior, how should I address you? Thank you for saving my life!”
" Jiang Yu-" He was a man of few words and did not say anything else.
Hong Yu smiled slightly and did not suggest it. Most people with extraordinary talents were like this." A warrior saved my life, and I have nothing to repay you. However, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to repay your kindness."”
"A hundred coins for a full meal!" As usual, he did not say much. People said that kindness was not expected in return, but he did.
Hong Yu smiled and did not say much. She gently put down a barefooted gold ingot and said," Since you have said so, I will thank you with this deposit. I hope you don't mind."”
"No-I only want a hundred!"
This sentence stunned Hong Yu. When she took a closer look, she was shocked because she saw a wisp of purple qi lingering between the young man's eyebrows!
How could golden scales be something in a pond? Once they met the wind and clouds, they would transform into dragons!
Her heart trembled. Just as she was about to speak again, another clear voice rang out.
"Sister, can you listen to me?"
Looking back, it was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old. She looked like a delicate jade carving and was extremely cute. From the looks of it, this girl was the owner of this carriage.
"Younger Sister, what's the matter?"
"My name is Zhao Zhi, and I was on my way home today. However, the horse was frightened on the way home and almost killed me and my sister. Now that this big brother has saved the two of us, why don't you and I bear half of his request? His sister gave him a hundred dollars, and his sister gave him a full meal!”
Looking closely, although the little girl was lively and cute, her speech and behavior revealed a graceful and noble air. She must be the descendant of a big family. Moreover, the Zhao family was also a big family in the State of Qin. Perhaps she was the first daughter of the family, so Hong Yu did not dare to underestimate her. She pushed the boat with the current. Since the younger sister has said so, it is not good for the elder sister to refuse. I just want to ask if this warrior is willing.”
"Then, big brother, are you willing?”Looking at the young man, a crisp and sweet voice asked.
"I'm willing-"
"Alright, I have a hundred yuan here too. Is that enough?”As he spoke, he took a hundred coins from the servant and handed it to the young man. When their hands touched, the young man clearly saw a purple birthmark on Zhao Zhi's arm.
"Thank you, both of you. I still have to deal with my brother's funeral.”
"Take care, young hero Jiang."
"Big brother, thank you so much!"
Jiang Yu didn't respond for a long time. Hong Yu and Zhao Zhi looked at each other and smiled. They didn't mind it at all as they just met by chance.
After they left, Hong Yu smiled. The emperor's purple aura was finally found without any effort. As long as one knew his name and appearance, there was no way for him to hide from the Traceless Manor.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
It was almost dusk, outside Xianyang City.
Hong Yu and a man in white stood side by side.
"Is everything settled?"
"Don't worry, everything has been handled properly. We won't leave any traces for that person!”
"Alright-you may leave!"
"Yes-"
His figure gradually faded away as if he had never appeared!
Hong Yu's lonely figure gradually lengthened under the blood-red sunset. She sighed softly, and a trace of bitterness flashed across her face.
At this moment, no one knew whether it was a mirage or a pavilion close to the water.
If the general trend was like a chess piece, then from this moment on, Yan Hong had truly occupied a place in the chess game!
