Han Tian looked around but did not find the arrow. Who did this? Great Si Ming, Young Si Ming, or Eastern Monarch?
Just as he was thinking about it, Tianming returned and saw the pile of ruins. He came to a realization."Isn't that a machine-operated bird?"
"Yeah," Han Tian replied.
"Why is it so rotten? Who did it?"
"I'm also curious." Shaoyu rubbed his chin.
"Chef Ding is busy managing the kitchen now. There's no need to trouble him with these trivial matters. Everyone, clear the wood." said Han Tian.
"But this machine-operated bird fell in a strange way. It's hard to understand.”
"Perhaps the machine-operated birds malfunctioned and scattered into a pile during the flight.”said Han Tian.
"Perhaps." Shaoyu didn't observe the machine-operated bird, so he didn't know that it had been hit by a sharp weapon and fell down. He hastily came to a conclusion.
However, Shi Lan felt that it was a little strange. She thought that there must be some clues, but she did not say anything.
"Old Man Ban's things are unreliable, just like White Tiger Zero. It almost took our lives.”As Tianming spoke, he recalled that thrilling scene and broke out in cold sweat.
Han Tian picked up a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the pile of machine-operated birds. He said to everyone,""It's easy to be discovered if it's thrown elsewhere. It's better to throw it into the sea.”
"I'll go throw it." Tianming walked over and was about to take the bag.
"I'll do it. You guys can go back.”Han Tian took the bag and walked toward an alley behind him.
"Let's go, let's go. I'll use the mechanical bird I made to send this letter later.”Tianming stepped through the door and said proudly,""The things I make are more reliable than Old Man Ban's.”
Seeing Han Tian disappear into the darkness, Shi Lan felt a little worried and followed him.
"Shi Lan, where are you going?" Shaoyu hurriedly asked when he saw Shi Lan leave.
Shi Lan didn't say anything. She quickened her pace and walked forward.
Tianming smiled and said to Shaoyu,""Men and women have three urgent needs."
Shaoyu felt the same and did not think too much about it, so he followed Tianming back.
Han Tian held the bag in his hand and moved toward the edge of the tree.
Whoosh...
The sound of the ocean grew louder and louder.
With a swoosh, a black shadow flashed past.
Han Tian seemed to have sensed something and slowed down his pace.
"Come out."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of footsteps slowly approached Han Tian. Shi Lan came behind Han Tian.
Han Tian turned around and was a little surprised because he did not realize that Shi Lan had been following him.
He had wanted to use this opportunity to meet the Yin Yang Family members in the dark, but he did not expect Shi Lan to come out.
Seeing Shi Lan walk out, the person in the darkness slowly disappeared.
"Why are you here?" Han Tian asked.
"This machine-operated bird was broken by a sharp weapon, but you said that the machine-operated bird fell on its own.”"Why?" Shi Lan asked indifferently.”
" Uh..." Han Tian was speechless. He knew that Shi Lan was starting to doubt him.
"Also, your clothes are suspicious. Tianming told us that this piece of clothing is very magical and can be freely scaled. But why does this dress look so much like the spider silk armor of Mount Shu?”Shi Lan asked again.
"Donghuang Taiyi originally sent this spider silk armor to protect me, but I didn't expect it to backfire.”
Han Tian's heart trembled slightly. He looked up at the sky and saw countless beautiful and dazzling stars shining. He felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
" Hehe." Han Tian sneered." What, you don't believe me?"”
"You saved my life three times, so I naturally believe you.”Shi Lan walked up to Han Tian and said seriously,""What difficulties do you have that you can't tell everyone?”
After thinking for a moment, Han Tian replied,""Since it's your difficulties, there's no need to tell anyone."
Shi Lan was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and was silent for a moment. Then, she said to Han Tian with a focused expression,""Alright, I believe you!"
Han Tian didn't say anything. He turned around and left."I hope my lies won't cause them lifelong harm.”
Dong dong dong…
Han Tian was stopped after taking less than ten steps.
A group of Qin State armored soldiers quickly surrounded them, there were at least twenty of them.
The two of them had been too focused on their conversation just now and had forgotten about their surroundings for a moment. The armored soldiers had taken advantage of the situation.
Looking at the surrounding armored soldiers, Han Tian was very angry. He frowned and glared at them fiercely.
As mentioned before, Han Tian only had hatred for soldiers. This kind of hatred was unusually strong. Perhaps it was because he had just entered the world and had witnessed the cruelty of the soldiers.
Even though Han Tian had drunk the Oblivion Potion, this intense feeling did not subside.
"Looks like we're in trouble." Han Tian took a few steps back and came to Shi Lan's side.
"Mr. Han, you've lost all your martial arts. Now, it's my turn to save you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Lan rushed forward and kicked up with a quick and agile movement, instantly taking down two Qin soldiers.
Then, he threw two punches at the same time. His movements were swift and violent. Two more Qin soldiers did not react in time and fell to the ground.
At this moment, five Qin soldiers rushed up at the same time and attacked Shi Lan.
However, Shi Lan relied on her petite body to dodge the attacks a few times and launched an attack, knocking down the five Qin soldiers.
The remaining eleven Qin soldiers looked at each other, none of them daring to attack.
Han Tian could only look at Shi Lan from the side, but he could not help her. He once again felt the pain in the heart of the weak. Therefore, he wanted to become stronger. His own fate was determined by his own strength!
"The one over there doesn't seem to be very good at fighting.”Soldier A said,"I'll deal with him. You guys deal with that little girl."”
As he spoke, he rushed forward. He swung his sword at Han Tian.
Han Tian's pupils constricted, and he was alarmed. However, he did not have the strength to attack Qin Bing. He immediately let go, and the machine-operated bird in his hand scattered all over the ground. He hurriedly used his hand to protect his head and raised his inner breath to protect his heart meridian.
Qin Bing raised his sword and slashed at Han Tian's spine. With a bang, he was bounced off by an abnormal force, and his body was also shaken out. Han Tian was not injured at all.
Shi Lan's eyes widened. Seeing that Han Tian was under attack, she hurriedly dodged the enemy's attack and ran to Han Tian's side.
"Mr. Han, are you alright?" Shi Lan looked at Han Tian and said anxiously.
"I'm fine." Han Tian stood up, looked at the spider silk armor on his body, and said,""This dress saved me."
In fact, Han Tian was saved not only because of the spider silk armor. More importantly, because he had opened up his heart meridian today, his internal energy protected his body. Therefore, not only was he not injured, but he had also repelled Qin Bing.
"Wow, the one over there is not easy to deal with either.”Soldier B said in a panic.
"Forget it. Everyone, attack together and kill them together.”Soldier C wielded his spear and slashed at the two men's heads.
The rest of the soldiers also rushed forward, brandishing their weapons and slashing at him.
Shi Lan and Han Tian were caught off guard. They couldn't dodge or fight, so they had no countermeasures.
At this critical moment, in the distant pavilion, Eastern Monarch's left hand quickly condensed a purple flame longbow. He raised it high and stretched out his right hand, forming six sharp air blades.
She drew her bow and aimed it at the six soldiers who were attacking Han Tian and Shi Lan. She then released the air blade arrow.
The six Qi Blades tore through the air and headed straight for the six soldiers.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The six Qi blades pierced through Qin Bing's body and were firmly fixed on the deck behind Han Tian. A few big holes were burned on the wooden board.
Seeing the soldiers die, the purple flame longbow in Dong Jun's left hand slowly faded.
"Hehe, I saved the young master's life today.”Dong Jun retreated and disappeared into the darkness.
Shi Lan and Han Tian were dumbfounded. They only realized that someone had saved them when they saw the Qin soldiers descend one by one.
Han Tian looked back and saw the six arrows of purple flames slowly disappearing without leaving a trace.
"Is this gathering qi to form a blade?" Shi Lan asked in surprise.
"I don't know either." Han Tian pretended not to know, but he thought to himself,""No, this is a Qi Gathering Arrow that is even more advanced than Qi Gathering Blade. Only the Eastern Monarch of the Yin-Yang School can use it. It seemed that she was the one who defeated the machine-operated bird.”
"Who saved us?" Shi Lan asked again.
"I don't know either, but I'm sure it's definitely not someone from the Yin-Yang School.”" They can't even kill us in time," Han Tian said." Why would they save us?"”
Shi Lan felt that it made sense. She nodded and helped Han Tian up.
When she stood up, Shi Lan blushed and hurriedly took a few steps back because the two of them were too close.
"Hurry up and chase! There are two rebels over there." At this moment, another large group of Qin soldiers rushed over.
"Let's leave this place quickly."
Thus, the two of them walked quickly and disappeared into the darkness.
On the empty deck, there was only a pile of machine-operated birds lying there quietly.
"Hurry up and chase after them, they're right in front!" The Qin soldiers chased closely, forcing Han Tian and the others to keep running.
Shi Lan was in front, and Han Tian was behind. The two of them followed closely behind, running at full speed.
A two-meter-tall building came into Han Tian's sight, so he hurriedly called out,""Go to the small house in front. The Qin soldiers won't search the roof.”
After Shi Lan heard this, she jumped up and landed on the building effortlessly.
However, Han Tian couldn't do it. He couldn't jump up no matter how hard he tried.
Seeing that the Qin soldiers were about to catch up, Han Tian was very anxious and jumped hard.
At the last leap, Shi Lan suddenly grabbed Han Tian's hands.
Immediately after, Han Tian was pulled up by Shi Lan.
The two of them clung to the roof and did not say a word.
"Quick, quick, quick." Qin Bing's voice came from below the house, followed by the sound of footsteps that gradually faded away.
Hearing that there was no movement, Shi Lan sat up and looked down the room. She said to Han Tian,""They have already left."
"Got it." Han Tian still didn't get up. He looked up at the sky and saw the bright stars and the bright moonlight. He couldn't help but sigh."So beautiful."
Shi Lan also looked at the sky and praised,""It's really beautiful."
After the disaster, the two of them looked at the stars again.
The sky was as boundless as the ocean. The stars in the sky flickered from time to time, like a young woman blinking her beautiful big eyes.
The moonlight shone on her, and a gentle breeze blew past, blowing Shi Lan's hair.
Shi Lan was focused as she looked at the distant sea. Her face revealed a sad expression as if she missed her hometown.
Unknowingly, drops of crystal clear tears slid down her cheeks and fell to the ground, splashing tears.
"Shi Lan, why are you crying?" Seeing this, Han Tian hurriedly sat up and asked Shi Lan.
"No, I haven't." Shi Lan turned around and wiped her tears.
"What happened?"
"I'm fine." Shi Lan turned her head, and the tears that had been wiped away flowed out again.
"If you have something on your mind, say it.”Han Tian seemed to have guessed that Shi Lan had something on her mind, so he said to her,"That will make you feel better."
Shi Lan turned her head around. Her face was a little surprised, but it soon turned into sadness.
"Maybe."
She stood up and looked at the distant west as she told her story.
I was originally the princess of Zhao State. My mother was the noble empress, and my father was the monarch of Zhao State.
My father was very hospitable and warmly received outsiders. Among them, the Miao people from Mount Shu received the most.
Our family lives happily.
However, when I was eight years old, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, led his army to the city and attacked Zhao.
My father hurriedly sent someone to ask Wei for help. Who knew that Wei had already been bribed by Qin and refused to help.
My father resisted with all his might and vowed not to surrender. However, they were still no match for the Qin country and were ultimately defeated.
The State of Zhao fell, and my home was destroyed.
Before the Qin army entered the city, my father sent people to send us out of the city, but he stayed behind.
Who knew that the Qin army had already set up an ambush and intercepted our carriage at the city gate, causing my mother's death!
Fortunately, two people from Mount Shu passed by and saved me.
Just like that, I followed them to Mount Shu and lived there for six years.
However, I am not willing to accept this. Am I going to swallow my pride and live in Mount Shu for the rest of my life?
I planned to take revenge and came to the Central Plains alone.
But facing such a powerful Qin country, I alone have no way.
So I went into hiding and became a waiter in Chef Ding's shop.
After listening to Shi Lan's story, Han Tian felt a little sad. He stood up and patted Shi Lan's shoulder, comforting her,""Don't be sad. It's all in the past.”
Shi Lan didn't say anything. Her eyes were still filled with sadness.
Han Tian was also silent. No one said anything else.
The lonely moon in the sky was desolate. A gentle breeze blew past, and he felt dejected.
*********************************************************************************************
In the center of the hall, in the palace of the Yin-Yang School.
Gao Yue and Yueshen sat opposite each other.
Yueshen looked at Yue Er, who was playing with the Illusionary Sound Box in her hand, occasionally releasing a beautiful melody.
"Qian Long, how is it?" Yueshen asked.
Yue Er shook her head helplessly.
Yueshen was displeased. She stood up and walked away.
Yue 'er was the only one left in the empty house. It was quiet, as silent as death.
" Hmph hmph hmph…" Yue Er hummed the melody of the Illusory Sound Box expressionlessly.
Yueshen looked at Yue 'er through a barrier and said to Yun Zhongjun behind her,""Can we really crack the secret of the Illusionary Sound Box with her?”
"Haha, Moon Goddess, there's no need to be anxious. The Officiator was talented and intelligent. In a few days, he would definitely be able to unravel the mysteries within.”
"I hope so." The Moon Goddess's lips curled up." Compared to this, I believe Yun Zhongjun cares more about the Young Master's matter."”
"What does Moon Goddess mean?"
"Hehe, the antidote for the Forgotten Love Water has always been personally guarded by Lord Donghuang, but now, you're not following Lord Donghuang's orders.”
"How did you know?" Yun Zhongjun's expression changed and he said coldly.
"My ability is perception. I'm sure Yun Zhongjun knows that.”
"In that case, do you want to know where the antidote is?”
"Oh?" The Moon Goddess turned around and asked,"Where?"”
Yun Zhongjun didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the Illusory Sound Treasure Box.
"What?!" Yueshen was surprised.
"That's right, this is what I just discovered.”"The melody of the Illusionary Sound Treasure Box can make the effects of the Forgotten Love Water disappear completely," Yun Zhongjun said.”
"Is this the power of the Heavenly Rhyme of Bliss, Myriad Demonic Sounds?”Yueshen said coldly.
"I can be sure that its power is not limited to this.”
"Perhaps."
Yun Zhongjun's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
*********************************************************************************************
It was already late at night. Han Tian and Shi Lan returned to the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Fatty Ding and the others coming up to him.
"Mr Han, you're back. Where's my mechanical bird?”Fatty Ding asked hurriedly.
"I accidentally dropped it when I met Qin Bing.”
"What?" "You encountered Qin soldiers?" Tian Ming asked in surprise. Are you hurt?"
"No, I haven't."
"What a pity. Old Man Ban only gave me this one machine-operated bird. Now, it's gone!”Fatty Ding's face was full of regret.
"It's okay. We can still think of a way to contact each other. As long as everyone is safe, it's fine.”Shaoyu said.
"Yes, yes." Tianming echoed.
"It's getting late. Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest.”Fatty Ding waved his hand and dismissed everyone.
"Yes."
Thus, the few of them returned to their rooms, and the day passed just like that.
In the main hall of Xianyang Palace, the civil and military officials stood in the palace, while the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, stood in the middle of the hall. His brows were tightly knitted together, and he was holding the Heaven's Inquisition in his hand, exuding a murderous aura.
"Now that the Xiongnu have invaded our Central Plains, the northern regions are in turmoil. Therefore, I am issuing military orders today.”
"I'm here." Meng Tian knelt on one knee and presented her hands.
That day, Meng Tian was about to capture Ge Nia and the others, but was summoned by the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, and rushed back to Xianyang City. Today, he was in the main hall to accept the mission to fight against the Xiongnu.
"I order you to be the Great General and command a million troops. Quickly go to the north to resist the Xiongnu and protect our Great Qin!”Ying Zheng said loudly.
"I accept the decree." Meng Tian's voice was loud and clear, so everyone could hear her clearly.
A eunuch took the Tiger Tally from Ying Zheng and quickly brought it to His Highness, handing it to Meng Tian.
"I will not fail my mission." Meng Tian took the Tiger Tally and slowly retreated.
Meng Tian didn't dare to rest when she arrived outside Xianyang Palace. She quickly got on her horse and rushed to the military headquarters.
In just a moment, Meng Tian had arrived at the military headquarters. At this time, the army had already finished organizing and was ready to go.
Meng Tian stood on the high platform and raised her right hand, which was holding the Tiger Tally, high. She faced the million strong army and said loudly,""The Tiger Tally is here. Soldiers, listen to my orders and follow me to resist the Xiongnu!”
"Yes, sir!"
The million strong army replied in unison. Their voices were so loud that they seemed to shake the heavens and earth.
"Very good."
Meng Tian waved her battle robe and jumped onto the horse. Then, she clamped her legs together and the horse neighed as it galloped out of the city.
The army of a million followed closely behind. The sound of their orderly footsteps was deafening, and the dust that was stirred up seemed to take a long time to calm down.
On the city gate of Xianyang City, Ying Zheng was looking down. Looking at how orderly his army was, he could not help but reveal a proud expression.
When the army was far away and their figures were out of sight, Ying Zheng slowly took a few steps back.
"Emperor, the cold wind outside the palace is piercing your body.”Li Si bowed.
"I know." Ying Zheng took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Li Si,""Pass down my order. I will go to Sang Hai tomorrow.”
"What?!" Although Li Si was a little shocked, he did not say anything. Instead, he whispered,""Now that General Meng is attacking the Xiongnu, if the emperor goes to the celestial mountain, who will protect the emperor?”
"Naturally, my army will come to protect me. Moreover, General Meng is attacking the Xiongnu outside. It will take more time before you can return.”Speaking up to this point, Ying Zheng's eyes turned resolute, and he continued,""In the days when Zhen is not around, you have to handle everything in the palace properly, understand?”
"Yes."
"Very good." With his hands behind his back, Ying Zheng walked forward slowly, gradually disappearing from Li Si's sight.
Li Si came to the city wall and looked at the desolate desert in the distance with an eagle-like gaze.
