....
At this moment, a man and a woman were discussing something in a building in Puyang City. When they looked at the sign on the door, they saw the words 'Gongsun Residence'. One could imagine who was inside.
"Liji! "You'll be leaving me with your senior brother soon. To be honest, I really can't bear to part with you, my granddaughter. However, there are some things that I hope you will remember." Gongsun Yu sat down beside Li Ji and spoke with a reluctant yet firm tone.
Li Ji didn't dare to look Gongsun Yu in the eye. She thought of the rumors that had spread a few days ago that the State of Qin was going to enter Puyang City, making him feel uneasy."Granddaughter will definitely remember Grandpa's words."
Gongsun Yu nodded and stroked Li Ji's black hair. He sighed and said,"This time, the attack of the Qin army is real. Grandfather was deeply indebted to Lord Wei in the past and had no choice but to serve him loyally. I believe you have also heard of the bravery and invincibility of the Qin army. Grandfather does not have much confidence in winning this battle."
" That won't happen, grandfather. I believe that you will definitely chase away the Qin army and bring peace to Puyang City. At that time, I will be able to be with grandfather again." Li Ji looked at Gongsun Yu, whose hair had already turned white, worriedly.
Gongsun Yu put down his hand that was stroking his hair. He stood up and stared blankly at the sky outside."Grandfather also hopes to win. Unfortunately, the King of Qin is ambitious and the State of Wei is weak. Even if we manage to drive away the Qin army by luck, the King of Qin will definitely make a comeback with his vengeful personality."
Without waiting for Li Ji to speak, Gongsun Yu turned around and looked into Li Ji's eyes dotingly."For generations, the Gongsun family has been short of children. Your parents died early, and now I only have you as my granddaughter. You must not let me worry about you anymore, understand?”
Liji wanted to say something but couldn't. She nodded helplessly, and two streams of tears quietly flowed down her cheeks.
Seeing Li Ji cry, Gongsun Yu felt quite upset, but he pretended not to see it. He turned around and gently stroked her forehead,"Do you know why grandpa entrusted you to your senior brother?”
Li Ji wiped her tears and looked up at Gongsun Yu.
She suddenly realized that her grandfather, who had always been serious, had a meticulous care and understanding of her.
This child Jing Ke is my disciple. Grandfather knows his character very well. It's just that he is a little impatient. You have to persuade him more in the future."Remember, after you leave the city, you have to hide your identities and stay away from the martial arts world. If anything happens to grandfather, you must not think of avenging me, understand?”
The tears that Li Ji had just held back flowed out again. She shook her head and said,"Grandpa, don't say anymore. You'll definitely be fine."
What she didn't expect was that her long-hidden teenage feelings were actually seen through by her grandfather. Even Jing Ke himself didn't notice it, but her grandfather saw it all.
" Grandfather must tell you because if you don't, you might not have the chance to tell me anymore." Gongsun Yu looked at Li Ji affectionately and said," Grandfather can see your feelings for Jing Ke. Jing Ke is worthy of Grandfather's trust. Grandfather hopes that you can live your lives peacefully and not be implicated by the hatred of the country and the family. If you do that, you will never be happy for the rest of your life."
Liji pursed her lips tightly as if she had already accepted her fate.
Gongsun Yu wiped away Li Ji's tears and sighed," It's a chaotic world now and everyone will fall into hatred. Grandfather doesn't want you to fall into this whirlpool of hatred, so you have to persuade Jing Ke more in the future and tell him not to seek revenge on the King of Qin."
Then, he took out a piece of coarse cloth and handed it to Li Ji. On it, there were many small seal characters." This is the peerless sword manual of the Gongsun family, the Gongsun Sword Style. It also records more or less everything that grandfather has learned in his life. Keep it well. Don't lose it."
The grandfather and grandson went through another life-and-death separation. Li Ji finally followed Jing Ke and escaped from the city. However, when they were just ten miles away from Puyang City, they stopped.
"How could it be so fast? Didn't we agree to attack after midnight? "Why are they sending troops to defend the country now?" Jing Ke's face was filled with fear. On a wide road to their left, a long line of black armored cavalry was constantly appearing in his sight.
Moreover, the iron cavalry were neatly arranged, each of them wearing a solemn expression. From afar, one could hear the sound of iron hooves. How could the Qin army compare to this?
" Let's go. I believe that grandpa will defeat the Qin army." Li Ji's determined eyes still believed that her grandpa could survive this time. In order to avoid being seen by the army, she dragged Jing Ke and ran away.
Not long after, the commoners who had yet to successfully retreat suddenly looked in horror at the rows of black cavalry in front of them. Death had already enveloped them, and some of the commoners who were closer to the Qin cavalry had been cut in half.
The commoners outside squeezed into the city, while those who had yet to leave the city tried their best to squeeze out. They did not see the Qin army outside, so they naturally wanted to leave.
General Peng, who had originally wanted to close the city gates, felt like he was about to collapse when he saw this scene. If the city gates could not be closed, it meant that he could not defend the city at all.
The Qin army that had appeared in front of them must have already broken through the western city. Otherwise, why would so many Qin soldiers appear at once?
"Report!" A soldier ran to General Peng with a terrified expression."This is bad. My brothers have just received news that the west side of the city has fallen. The city guard, Young Master Han Shen, has already led a few hundred people who broke out of the encirclement and are on their way to my Puyang City."
"What?!" Peng Bu threw his general's hat onto the ground. Looking at the rapidly approaching Qin army from afar, he had a bad feeling about the defense of the city." What are those guards doing? I even sent 1,000 soldiers to him. I didn't expect that they couldn't even defend for 15 minutes."
Faced with Peng Bu's rage, the soldier immediately reported the reason for the fall."Reporting to General, this is not Young Master Han Shen's fault. It was the Qin army that suddenly appeared not far from the West City. Then, with lightning speed, they broke through the commoners who blocked the West City's gates. This caused the West City to fall."
