At the border of Qin State, Waning Moon Valley.
There was no moonlight tonight, so it looked a little solemn. A few stars would occasionally be mischievous and hide.
Ge Nia had brought Jing Tianming to avoid the pursuit of the Qin soldiers time and time again. He was mentally and physically exhausted and had more or less been injured. Now, facing the three hundred elite soldiers of the Qin Kingdom once again, Ge Nia's expression did not change. His aura was too strong, and the Qin soldiers did not dare to attack. They surrounded Ge Nia and Tian Ming.
"Go!" One of the leaders of the Qin soldiers gave the order.
The Qin soldiers swarmed forward. Sword shadows flashed, and the Qin soldiers in the front reached the ground. However, this did not scare off the Qin soldiers. Instead, the Qin soldiers charged forward without fear of death.
Tianming stood nervously behind Ge Nia. With so many Qin soldiers attacking together, no one could get close to him. Tianming looked at Ge Nia's tall figure, his back slightly bent under the endless attacks of the Qin soldiers. Red blood slowly seeped out of his green and white clothes. For the first time, Tianming felt like he was a burden, so weak that he could only rely on others to protect him.
Tianming hoped to become stronger. Only then would he not be a burden. When his friends and family were in danger, he would be able to stand in front of them and protect them! However, he didn't have the ability to do so now. He could only watch as wounds appeared on Ge Nia's body.
Finally, the Qin soldiers fell. In the lonely and solemn Waning Moon Valley, corpses lay on the ground. Ge Nia knelt on the ground with the rainbow in his hand and panted heavily. It was obvious that he had used up a lot of energy, and with his blood-stained clothes, he was in a bad state…
"Uncle, are you alright?" Tian Ming looked at Ge Nia with concern.
"Don't worry! Uncle is fine!" Ge Nia patted Tian Ming's head and comforted him, his eyes filled with kindness.
"But you're already injured. It's all Tianming's fault for being useless!”Tianming choked and blamed himself.
Ge Nia put away his sword and straightened his back. He looked into the distance with a calm expression.”
Tianming looked at Ge Nia in a daze, and a sense of peace and warmth lingered in his heart. Tianming lowered his head, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Ge Nia.”Tianming said firmly.
"Tianming, do you know what a strong person is?”
Tianming thought for a moment and said,"Just like an uncle!"”
Ge Nia shook his head and said to Tian Ming," A strong person is not proven by others worrying about him, especially those who care about him. A strong person can make his friends feel at ease. Do you understand?”
When Tianming heard this, he was confused and shook his head, saying,"I don't really understand."”
"I know it's still difficult for you to understand now, but I hope you can always remember it in your heart, okay?”Ge Nie squatted down and looked at the sky as he spoke gently.
"Yes." Tian Ming nodded heavily.
At this moment, the moon that had just returned from an unknown vacation came out again. Under the cold moonlight, a large and a small figure surrounded the hot fire, quiet and at ease.
——
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. In these three days, the business of an inn had exploded. The dishes were different every day, and they were delicious. The inn was full every day. Little Liu and the others were busy every day, but the waiter was happy. She really couldn't understand him.
Three days was neither long nor short, but many things could happen!
Lu Guoguo became a guest of honor at an inn. Every day, she would eat melon seeds in the backyard leisurely.
Qian Ye shamelessly followed Shi Lan to deliver food every day. He asked all kinds of infuriating questions and looked like he was courting death. Shi Lan gritted her teeth in hatred, but she could not do anything to him. Shi Lan thought that the calmness she had for so many years had been lost in anger. Perhaps there were even a few crow's feet at the corner of her eyes!
However, Qian Ye's battle results were not bad overall. She finally knew some of Shi Lan's little secrets. For example, she would look around from time to time with a thoughtful expression. Qian Ye took advantage of her surprise and carefully observed every place she had been. Qian Ye found some strange ghost characters in some inconspicuous places. They should be unique to Mount Shu! Qian Ye thought. However, Qian Ye did not intend to expose Shi Lan. She still tried to get close to Shi Lan every day.
It seemed that Shi Lan had a pet?
……
After a busy day, Qian Ye lay on the bed and flipped through the jade hairpin. The orchids on it were vivid and lifelike, and the small beads were swaying mischievously. Hmm…when should I go back? She wondered if Young Master Si Ming would like it or not! Qian Ye thought.
When the moon was deep and everyone was quiet, a soft sound caught Qian Ye's attention.
"Hmm…?" When Qian Ye got up and walked to the window, a black shadow passed by an inn." That seems to be Shi Lan's room?”Qian Ye was puzzled. From the shape of the black shadow, it looked a little like Shi Lan!
But where was she going at this time of the night? Qian Ye put away the hairpin and jumped out of the window to chase after her.
Today, Shi Lan had found the mark her brother had left not far from the Cloud Lord's residence, so she wanted to see if she could find her brother! Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep, Shi Lan put on her night clothes and went out. She used her lightness skill and under the cover of the night, she dodged the patrolling Qin soldiers and disappeared.
Although Yun Zhongjun was a member of the Yinyang School, he was also the one who refined the longevity medicine for Qin Shihuang, so his status was not low. He had a mansion in Xianyang City, and he would come back here sometimes to deal with some matters. Coincidentally, he was in the residence tonight!
Qian Ye walked out of an inn and turned a few streets. Because she wasn't wearing night clothes and the Qin soldiers were patrolling too frequently, Qian Ye lost track of Shi Lan.
"Where did he go?" Qian Ye scratched her head and wandered around in an alley.
After searching for a long time, Qian Ye also found someone." Forget it, I'm not looking anymore. I'm so sleepy. I'm going back to sleep!"”Qian Ye gave up. Just as she was about to go back, a commotion came from behind.
"Catch the assassin!" An ear-piercing voice sounded.
When the patrolling Qin soldiers heard this, they quickly rushed to the scene. A black shadow left in a hurry. However, he was still discovered.”
The Qin soldiers gathered together and quickly chased after the black shadow. The footsteps of the Qin soldiers made the commoners at home tremble, thinking that it was another uneasy night.
In the residence of the Lord of the Clouds.
"This subordinate deserves to die. I let the thief disturb you. Please punish me!”A guard was half-kneeling on the ground with his head lowered.
Yun Zhongjun had his hands behind his back, his back facing the guard. He did not say anything, but a green light suddenly appeared in his hands." It just so happens that I lack some materials for my experiment.”Yun Zhongjun pinched the guard's neck and said darkly.
" Wu wu…" The guard was suffocated, his eyes filled with fear, and finally died…
Shi Lan's light figure still couldn't shake off Qin Bing's pursuit. When she came to a small alley, a pair of hands suddenly pulled her. Shi Lan's eyes narrowed and she spun around to kick that person, but her calf was caught by that person." It's me!"”Qian Ye said in a low voice and pulled Shi Lan to hide in a gap covered by a pile of firewood. There was a large dustpan blocking the way.
Shi Lan knew that it was Qian Ye and heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Qin Bing also rushed past the alley." Quick, he came this way just now. Don't let him escape."”
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and the alley became quiet. There were only two soft breathing sounds.
"Can you let go of me now?" Shi Lan said softly with a red face.
As the sky was too dark, Qian Ye did not notice Shi Lan's expression. Seeing that she was hugging her, Qian Ye was a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry!" Qian Ye quickly let go of Shi Lan. Shi Lan also stood up and walked out of the firewood pile. The Qin soldiers had already gone far away.
Qian Ye also stood up and took a step forward.”Qian Ye tripped over a " protruding " firewood and pounced on Shi Lan, who had just gotten up.
"..." Before Shi Lan could react to the sudden change, Qian Ye had already pinned Shi Lan to the ground. The melodramatic plot was definitely Shi Lan being kissed by Qian Ye! But…he didn't.
Qian Ye was one centimeter away from Shi Lan's intimate contact, and Shi Lan's black face cloth was still on her face! However, the two of them were looking at each other. Shi Lan's eyes were a little dazed. Qian Ye's eyes lit up. He realized that Shi Lan had a pair of peach blossom eyes. He blinked. She was very beautiful!
Before Shi Lan could react, she looked at Chiba Shota's small face up close. His hot breath tickled her face, but... wasn't this a bad influence? Then, Shi Lan's dazed eyes returned to normal, and then slowly turned cold.
Qian Yeye felt that something was wrong. Although the girl's body was soft, there was a chill that was getting stronger and stronger. His intuition told him to run immediately!
Then, Qian Ye ran away in a panic. Ten minutes later, she actually ran into a forest.
This was the outskirts of the city, and there were no Qin soldiers patrolling. Shi Lan saw Qian Ye enter a forest and chased after her." Qian Ye, stop right there!”
……
"Uncle, what is this?" Tianming asked Ge Nia as he held up a firework.
"Where did you get it? Hey, don't throw it!" Ge Nia watched as the firework was thrown into the fire, and a red light shot into the sky.
"Wow, what is this?”Tianming asked curiously.
"Sigh, this is a signal flare. We can't stay here anymore. Let's go!”Ge Nia covered his face and said helplessly.
"Ah! He was leaving again! I'm so tired!" Tian Ming unwillingly stood up and packed his things before following Ge Nia.
……
"Uncle, look, that's our signal flare.”Shaoyu said to Xiang Liang.
"Hmm? What's going on over there? Let's go and take a look.”Xiang Liang rubbed his chin and thought.
Ge Nie and Tian Ming hadn't walked far before they ran into Xiang Liang and the others who were rushing over. "Who are you?" Xiang Liang shouts loudly.
Ge Nia frowned and placed his right hand on the hilt of the Profound Rainbow Sword as he looked at them warily. "I'm Ge Nia, and I'm hiding from the Qin soldiers with the son of a friend. May I know what business you have with me?"
Xiang Liang saw the sword in Ge Nia's hand.”Xiang Liang was shocked. The number one swordsman in the world, Ge Nia? Aren't you from the State of Qin? How could he be pursued by the Qin army?" Xiang Liang said suspiciously.
"It's a long story, but what's the matter? If you don't have it, then don't block our way!”Ge Nie coldly said.
"We are from the Xiang Clan of Chu. This is my nephew, Xiang Shaoyu." Xiang Liang pointed at the youth on the black horse and said. "We saw you release our signal flare. I wonder if you saw anyone else.”Xiang Liang said politely.
"Sigh, uncle, what's there to ask? They must have attacked our people.”Shaoyu said loudly. So what if he was the number one swordsman in the world? Was there a need to be polite with them? I, Xiang Shaoyu, am not afraid.
"Shaoyu, don't talk nonsense. I believe that Hero Ge Nie isn't such a person, right?”Xiang Liang said to Ge Nie.
"We didn't see anyone else. This signal flare was picked up by Tianming somewhere. We didn't know it was yours.”Ge Nie said.
"Yes, yes, I picked it up somewhere.”Tianming echoed.
"Since that's the case, I'll trust Hero Ge Nia. It's getting late tonight, so why don't we rest here?”Xiang Liang invited Ge Nia.
Ge Nia thought about it and agreed.
"Hey, kid, call me big brother. I'm older than you.”Shaoyu hooked his arm around Tianming's shoulder and said.
"Hmph, what do you mean you're older than me? I think you should call me big brother!”Tianming refused.
…" This kid was lying through his teeth! Shaoyu thought speechlessly.
"Why is Mister Ge Nia wanted by the State of Qin? And he's even injured." Xiang Liang and Ge Nie were talking in a carriage.
"A friend's request. Take him to a safe place." Ge Nie said.
Xiang Liang listened to Tianming and Shaoyu on the roof of the car fighting to be the big brother." Mister Ge Nie's friend is very important to you, right?”
Ge Nia didn't reply. He closed his eyes and rested. Although he had the title of the world's number one swordsman, he had suffered quite a few injuries during this month of running.
Seeing that Ge Nia wasn't going to say anything, Xiang Liang didn't disturb him and looked out of the window in a daze.
