The night was silent. At dawn, the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry escorted the captives and set off for Hangu Pass. Wang Jian led the army to set up camp 30 miles away from Hangu Pass to intimidate the alliance army and create an opportunity for their surprise attack.
Zhao Mu would not miss out on Wang Jian's contribution. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Great Qin and wield supreme authority, he would definitely need the support of the Wang family and the Meng family, the two families of Great Qin's military.
They had come without stopping, but when they returned, their speed had decreased significantly. According to Zhao Mu's instructions, the entire team was relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside, waiting for those blind people to come and rescue Zhou Wengong.
However, no one showed up for five days. They had already walked half the way.
"Great General, could it be that no one has come to save Duke Wen of Zhou?"”
Zhao Mu put down the bamboo scroll in his hand and said with a faint smile,""Don't worry. Five days is enough for the allied army to receive the news of the defeat of the Chu and Zhou armies. The news of Duke Wen of Zhou being captured should have spread. So someone will come."
"And if I'm not wrong, someone should be coming today.”
Meng Ao was skeptical. Although Duke Wen of Zhou's status was indeed not low, excluding his military strength, Duke Wen of Zhou was the ruler of the world and his status was above the dukes, ever since King Ping moved eastward and Duke Zhuang of Zheng defeated King Ping of Zhou, the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty had long disappeared.
Meng Ao didn't believe that anyone would be so foolish as to stroke the Great Qin Empire's tiger beard for a Duke Wen of Zhou.
When night fell, Meng Ao arranged the defense and told the soldiers who had reached a high realm to be alert. He returned to his tent without taking off his armor and waited. Although he was puzzled, he still listened to Zhao Mu's orders since he had been convinced by Zhao Mu.
The ugly time gradually arrived.
Meng Ao perked up. They had launched the attack at the time of the clown. This was the most sleepy moment for people, so if someone came, they would probably come at this time.
Ah!
" Ah!" A scream was heard. Although it was very soft, Meng Ao, who was fully focused, still heard it. He did not have time to exclaim at Great General Zhao Mu's divine foresight. He turned around and rushed out with his sword in hand.
He saw a group of men in black fighting with the Qin army.
The Qin soldiers, who were already prepared, surrounded the group of men in black.
However, the martial arts of these men in black were actually on par with the Dragon-Tiger Cavalry. Meng Ao did not see Zhao Mu's figure. He shouted in a low voice and ordered the soldiers to form a formation to surround and kill the men in black.
At this moment, beside Zhou Wengong's cage, the lights had already been extinguished, and the entire tent was pitch black.
A tall and thin man in black barged in. His eyes were blinded by the sudden darkness. In the next moment, his martial artist's instinct made him retreat violently.
A streak of light slashed down in front of him. If he had not retreated quickly, this sword would have cut him in half.
The black-clothed man casually waved his hand, and a few sparks flew out from his sleeve. These sparks seemed to have spirituality as they accurately landed on the candlesticks around him, igniting the candles.
The fire dispelled the darkness, and the tent instantly regained its light.
Along with this light, there was also a sword light that stabbed towards the black-robed man's chest as fast as lightning.
Clang!
A pitch-black sword without a blade appeared in front of the black-robed man, blocking Zhao Mu's attack.
Slash!
Sparks ignited and scattered from the place where the swords intersected.
Zhao Mu chuckled." Ha, I finally met an expert. It's not in vain that I waited for you all the way here."”He raised his eyes slightly and saw that the hand holding the sword actually had six fingers. He recognized the other party's identity.
"The Mohist tycoon, the Six-fingered Black Swordsman. I originally thought that the scholarly faction would come. After all, the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty is the core of their scholarly faction. I didn't expect that the scholarly faction wouldn't come, but your Mohist faction.”
The man in black frowned slightly. He did not expect the other party to recognize him and expose his identity. This was not good news for the Mo family. After all, the Mo family did not have the strength to face a colossus like Great Qin.
Weng!
The Inkbrow Sword in Six-fingered Black Man's hand buzzed as he spun it and pushed away the Tianwen Sword. His figure retreated abruptly, and the curtain of the tent behind him suddenly swung open. He immediately retreated. The moment he saw Zhao Mu, Six-fingered Black Man knew that he had been tricked.
Rescuing Zhou Wengong had become a trap.
Therefore, he made a prompt decision and planned to retreat.
However, Zhao Mu and Meng Ao had prepared this trap for such a long time. How could they let them leave so easily?
Zhao Mu stomped his right foot on the ground, and vigorous Nine Suns Genuine Qi rumbled out of his body. His body was like a cannonball that had been shot out of a barrel, and he rushed toward the six-fingered black man! He carried this vigorous aura and gathered it on the Tianwen sword.
Under the sword, it was as if the celestial river was flowing backward, and it was magnificent!
The sword light even covered the moonlight.
The Six-fingered Black Swordsman had a serious expression. He had not expected that Zhao Mu's martial arts would be so powerful. It was beyond his imagination. The mental cultivation method of the Mo family was activated. The true energy gathered on his black eyebrows. A faint black fog swept out from the sword.
The Mohist swordsmanship emphasized defense, which was in line with the meaning of the word 'non-attack'. The offense was insufficient, but the defense was like an iron wall with few flaws.
Clang! Clang!
A series of explosions sounded in the camp under the night sky. The two people's powerful true energy was like a strong wind that blew and swept away the debris on the ground.
The tyrannical sword qi even created ravines on the ground!
Meng Ao looked back and saw that Zhao Mu was at ease, so he was no longer worried. He focused on commanding the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry to slowly surround and attack the men in black. Their circle was already very small, and it was difficult for them to use their martial arts in Jianghu.
They would only be slowly ground to death by the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry!
