A few days later, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle. The gloomy clouds that enveloped the Yan Country seemed to have dissipated a lot.
Today was the day that the special envoy of the Yan Country left Qin. Perhaps he was worried about the danger of subjugation, or he had other thoughts.
But to the outside world, Crown Prince Dan and the others claimed that they were offering the land of Yan Nan to the Qin country in order to establish a truce. Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Yan Country, this was a truce. Although they had given up the land of South Yan, it was better than fighting.
As long as the country was still around and he was still alive, what was a mere Yan Nan to him? This was probably what most people in Yan Country thought!
Marquis Pingye's Estate!
Today, Ji Zhi was not at home. Yan Country sent out Qin but sent a swordsman as an envoy. This in itself made people suspicious, although most people in Yan Country thought that this was a normal peace treaty.
However, Ji Zhi still vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Therefore, in order to be safe, he had to make another preparation.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace. At this moment, the country was facing a real crisis. The slightest bit of something wrong had to be treated with caution.
Therefore, after Ji Zhi left early, only Gao Ge was left alone in the huge manor. As for the other servants, they were naturally not counted.
Everyone in Yan knew that Jing Ke was leaving Qin today. Naturally, Gao Ge also knew about it.
Since he knew, he had to do something. Even if it was for the sake of that favor and that responsibility, he had to do something, even if it could not change anything.
For the first time, Gao Ge was wearing a black suit in addition to his blue robe. His hair, which he had kept for a year, was no longer short. Instead, it was long enough to reach his ears. Although it was still a little strange, it was at least much better than when he first arrived.
He sheathed the Sword of Virtue and carried it on his back. His ten-year-old body looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old.
With a calm expression, Gao Ge left the manor after Ji Zhi.
There were some things that he knew he couldn't do, but he just had to do it!
Yishui Land, a hidden valley.
At this moment, a white robe was fluttering in the wind under the rising sun.
Jing Ke was dressed in black and was riding a fine horse. He was slowly galloping towards the side. Behind him, a young man was also riding a horse and following closely behind him. Behind them were the chariots and horses of the Qin Dynasty.
This was Qin Wuyang, the partner that Prince Dan had chosen for this expedition. He was a young man who had killed people at a young age.
Yes, in Jing Ke's eyes, Qin Wuyang was a boy who was not worthy of being discussed with. Therefore, he was not satisfied with this partner, even if he was the one chosen by the Crown Prince Pill.
However, he had no way to replace Qin Wuyang. He could only blame his friend for not arriving for a long time.
Jing Ke rode on his horse and led the carriage behind him. He looked into the distance and saw the snow-white riverside. His heart couldn't help but beat faster. When he got closer, he saw a white crowd by the valley path.
Crown Prince Dan and the trusted officials who knew about this matter were all dressed in white clothes and white hats. They stood upright and waited solemnly. Jing Ke even saw his good friend Gao Jianli, who was hiding in the Mo family after a major case in the Yan Country a few years ago.
"He's actually here!" Jing Ke's heart skipped a beat. Gao Jianli was a wanted man of the Yan Country and should not show his face easily. However, in order to send him off today, he still came.
Seeing the carriage coming from afar, everyone bowed deeply. Suddenly, the scene of Fan Yuqi's funeral appeared in Jing Ke's mind. That day, the Crown Prince and the others were also dressed in white clothes and white hats…
Jing Ke suddenly woke up from the numbness along the way, and an inexplicable tragic feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
For the third time in his life, besides the death of his master and Li Ji being taken away, a trace of tears flowed out of Jing Ke's eyes.
Jing Ke jumped off his horse and bowed deeply to Crown Prince Dan and all the people who were sending him off. He cupped his hands and laughed,""Everyone, how can you sacrifice Jing Ke alive?”
However, no one laughed along. The valley was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard. Finally, a high official's trembling voice broke the dead silence.""Crown Prince, I offer a toast to Mister!”
Crown Prince Dan held up a huge bronze goblet, bowed solemnly, and presented it to Jing Ke.
" Haha!" Jing Ke laughed and said," I was born in this world, but I have never offered sacrifices to my ancestors…Today, I shall offer this wine to my ancestors!"”Before he could finish his sentence, Jing Ke suddenly choked up. When a jug of hundred-year-old Yan wine splashed on the ground, Jing Ke's large tears could not help but fall to the ground. The moment the tears flowed, Jing Ke's heart trembled. He raised his sleeve and wiped them away. When he raised his head, it was Jing Ke laughing heroically again.
With a ding dong, Gao Jianli's deep and profound Zhuyin sounded.
Gao Jianli didn't say a word. He only glanced at Jing Ke.
It was a cluster of shining flames! Jing Ke's heart suddenly felt warm, and the intense singing filled the valley.
" The wind is blowing, the water is cold, once a warrior leaves, he won't come back..."
Gao Jianli's agitated voice was like a war drum beating against Jing Ke. In the solemn and stirring harmony of Crown Prince Dan and the people who sent him off, Jing Ke couldn't help but sing repeatedly. It was sad and sorrowful, as if he was singing about the endless suffering of himself and the world. Crown Prince Dan and the officials cried together. In the midst of the fervent and intense atmosphere, the aura of a long rainbow was like a warrior fighting in battle. All the people who were sending him off widened their eyes in anger, and their beards and hair flew up to the white crowns on their heads…
While the song was still echoing, Jing Ke turned around and mounted his horse.
Jing Ke waved his horsewhip and galloped away…
…Dividing line…
The setting sun was as red as blood, and the setting sun was multicolored.
The carriage slowly moved forward, with Jing Ke leading the way on his horse.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the middle of the road.
It was the figure of a youth who looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. However, when Jing Ke saw this youth, he could not help but be stunned.
He knew this youth. No, not only him, perhaps most of the people in Yan Country knew this youth.
Ji Zhi, the Marquis of Pingye, was a legendary figure. He was talented in both literature and martial arts, cold and elegant, and peerless in his generation. It was as if one could not see any flaws in him.
It could be said that if there were no perfect people in the world, then Ji Zhi was the person closest to perfection in the eyes of the Yan Country's people.
This was a young man who was outstanding in every aspect. You basically couldn't find any flaws in him. Of course, if you really wanted to find his flaws, the only flaw was that he was still single!
This was the regret of the ordinary people, but it was the hope of countless women. It was precisely because he did not marry that the women had hope.
Therefore, this only flaw was nothing.
However, all of this was ruined by a child who appeared out of thin air a year ago.
A year ago was the day Gao Ge appeared in this world. No one knew what kind of knockout powder Gao Ge had given Ji Zhi.
In short, from a year ago, everyone knew that there was a strange young man by Ji Zhi's side, and Ji Zhi was especially good to him.
Countless women in the waiting room were waiting with their hair tied up, but in the end, the one who stayed beside Ji Zhi was a child, and a boy at that. This would be a huge blow to those women!
Could it be that my beautiful face is inferior to a child's? This was what many women thought.
The woman didn't dare to do anything besides being hurt and angry, but she could guess the relationship between Gao Ge and Ji Zhi.
Speaking of this, he had to mention that the Fujoshi's soul was really new and had an endless inheritance! During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, the so-called Fujoshi's soul had already fully grown.
In the rumors spread by these women, there was originally nothing between Gao Ge and Ji Zhi. It was nothing more than a relationship of imparting knowledge. However, they actually said that Ji Zhi was a sex maniac and Gao Ge became a sex slave that he played with.
Damn it, it was fortunate that Gao Ge did not know about this. Otherwise, he would definitely use his sword of integrity to personally come and cut those people who spread rumors into pieces. He would let them die!
Fortunately, Ji Zhi didn't know about this. If he did, he might have done something even more extreme than Gao Ge and directly mobilized the army to massacre them.
In short, the two of them did not know about this rumor, but the others had long known.
Jing Ke spent most of his time in the tavern. News spread the fastest there, so he knew about this rumor.
Then, he looked at Gao Ge. His gaze was very strange!
Jing Ke stopped his horse. Qin Wuyang also stopped the carriage behind him when he saw Jing Ke get off his horse.
Jing Ke got off his horse and walked slowly to Gao Ge. He sized him up." You are the child beside Marquis Pingye?”
Perhaps it was because of his subconsciousness that even Jing Ke did not notice that his tone was a little strange.
Without answering Jing Ke's question, Gao Ge looked at Jing Ke's calm face and slowly spat out a few words,""A year ago, West City, Flying Swallow Sword, Han Liu!”
As soon as he said this, the smile on Jing Ke's face suddenly shattered and turned into a trace of seriousness. He stared at Gao Ge and asked in a low voice,""Are you his descendant?"
It was no wonder that Jing Ke did not think so. Han Liu was originally in his forties. Moreover, he had lived in the Yan Country in his early years. Gao Ge had also appeared in the Yan Country. Now, he had come to Jing Ke to mention the matter of Han Liu and was prepared to avenge him. It seemed that only the descendants of Han Liu could make sense.
"No, I'm not familiar with him at all!" Gao Ge shook his head.
"What is that?" Jing Ke was puzzled.
"It's just to owe me a favor!”Gao Ge said calmly," The Soaring Swallow Sword died in your hands, and it's unknown whether you're dead or alive today. This means that from now on, the Soaring Swallow Sword will no longer have the chance to challenge you. However, I've obtained the inheritance of the Soaring Swallow Sword. Since I've obtained this sword technique, I have to bear the corresponding responsibility. Therefore, even if I'm not proficient in it, I still have to challenge you today!”
Gao Ge's voice wasn't very loud, and it still had a baby's voice, but it sounded so firm in Jing Ke's ears.
"He's serious!" Jing Ke thought to himself. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Gao Ge,""You will die like this!"
Die? Gao Ge shook his head. Since he had come here, it proved that he had already put down his life and death. Was the Soaring Swallow Sword really inferior to Jing Ke? This had already become an obsession of his. If he could not break through this obsession, he would never be able to break through his current level of Sword Dao.
This was also the reason why he hadn't broken through to the 18th move of the Soaring Swallow Sword. He was afraid. He was afraid that even if he broke through to the 18th move, he would be defeated like Han Liu.
"Swordsman, be fearless! Even if there was a mountain of blades and a sea of flames ahead, with thousands of enemies! I…will cut him down with my sword!"
This was Gao Ge's answer!
