It was night, at the Star Observation Platform!
The leader of the Yin-Yang School, Donghuang Taiyi, stood at the top of a tall building and looked at the stars outside the window. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth under his mask.
"Xing Hun, it's already so late. Why are you looking for me?”
As the ethereal voice of Donghuang Taiyi rang out, a handsome young man slowly walked out from the darkness of the pavilion. He was the Left Protector of the Yin-Yang School, the rare genius Xing Hun.
"It's just that I feel inexplicably annoyed tonight, so I came to this observatory for a walk.”
"Kid, your senses are quite sharp.”Donghuang Taiyi chuckled. He pointed at the night sky and said to Xing Hun,"Can you see it? The stars in the sky are constantly dimming and disappearing. Do you know what this means?”
Xing Hun remained silent.
Most of the stars in the sky corresponded to a person's fate. A person's fate corresponded to a star.
The appearance of the stars meant that someone was about to be born and come to this world.
When the stars became brighter and more dazzling, it meant that a hero was about to appear in this world and become famous.
When the stars darkened, it meant that someone's luck had declined, and the light of life had dimmed.
The disappearance of the stars meant that someone was going to die.
Seeing that Xing Hun did not speak, Donghuang Taiyi smiled again. No one knew what kind of expression he had under the mask.
"People are going to die in Xianyang City, and many people are going to die in the heart of the Great Qin Empire.”
Xing Hun nodded his head. In fact, he was a person who had experienced too many things. His feelings towards human life had long become indifferent. At this moment, he did not have too many thoughts about the premonition in the night sky.
"Something big is about to happen. As for whether it's good or bad for us, we'll only know when the time comes.”Donghuang Taiyi's tone was filled with emotion as he waved his hand.""Tell all the disciples of the Yin-Yang School to observe the situation in Xianyang City closely. If there are any changes, report to me immediately.”
After Xing Hun heard this, he bowed and returned to the shadows, disappearing.
……
At this moment, in the Second Young Master's residence.
Huhai kept punching and kicking in the courtyard, each movement bringing up a strong wind.
If one were to examine it carefully, one would discover that all of his cultivation techniques carried a cold inner force, like a poisonous snake entrenched in the grass, ready to bite anyone who came.
"Your Highness is not resting in the middle of the night. Could it be that the night is too beautiful and you are not in the mood to sleep?”Zhao Gao slowly walked out from the shadows without making any sound.
" Master, you must be joking. It's just that there are always a few people who are blind when practicing martial arts. It's hard to explain to the imperial court if they kill too many people." Huhai stopped when he saw Zhao Gao coming and sat cross-legged against the fake mountain.
"Your Highness, what else are you hiding from me?" Zhao Gao was expressionless as he said lightly,"I'm not sure.""It's only two days before the grand ceremony, and the rebels in Xianyang City can't hide any longer. Your Highness, aren't you training your fists and legs to kill the rebels and protect the emperor?”
"I still can't hide anything from Master.”Huhai smiled, as if he was embarrassed that his little trick had been seen through. However, there was no smile in his strange eyes.
"Master's visit in the middle of the night is probably not just to expose my thoughts.”
"Your Highness, you must be joking. This lowly subject has come this time to tell you something.”Zhao Gao paused for a moment and said," The rebels who infiltrated the city this time are led by the people from the Peasant Family and the Mohist Family. Even the leaders of the two families are gathered here. With Your Highness's current strength, it will be dangerous if you forcefully confront these two people."”
"Then what does Master mean?"
"Let's wait and see. There's no need to be too anxious. It's best to attack when the time is right.”
With that, Zhao Gao bowed slightly and disappeared into the night.
……
On the other side, deep in the mountains.
Wang Li was sitting in the newly built tent of the central army. His eyes were closed, as if he was resting, but also as if he was thinking about something.
It had been several days since he had led the Hundred Battle Armored Troop here. They had clearly reached the entrance of the Mohist City of Traps, but they had been unable to break in. This inevitably made him feel a little ashamed.
As a famous general of Great Qin, what kind of battles had he not fought? What kind of cities had they not attacked?
It was just that this city in the mountains that was completely guarded by mechanical creations was indeed a unique existence in this world.
No matter how powerful the mechanisms of the Hundred-Battle Armored Soldiers were, and no matter how sharp the crossbow bolts were, it was impossible for them to shoot through these layers of mountains, right?
If the enemy came out of the city to fight, the armored soldiers were not afraid of close combat. They were also good at using swords.
It was just that these Mo family rebels were extremely cunning and only hid in the mountains like cowards. He actually had no way to do anything for the time being.
On the other hand, the army had not made any progress in the past few days, so the morale of the army had to be considered.
The Qin army swept through the six countries, conquering everything and winning every battle. The notion that the Empire's power was invincible had already been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the soldiers, especially the soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles as the Empire's most elite long-range army. When had they ever been in such a situation?
Thinking of this, Wang Li's expression turned cold as he began to think of countermeasures.
……
In another part of the mountains.
In a dark forest not far from the army, five figures stood there, looking at the brightly lit Qin army tent.
As well as the Mohist City of Traps, which seemed to be impregnable at the moment, he was expressionless.
"Reporting to the Underworld Lord, tell him that we have arrived. As for what to do, please give the order.”The man in the lead said slowly.
This person's face was ashen, and six snake-skull-shaped chains were tightly tied behind him. His eyes were cold, and his entire person emitted a sinister aura.
Red Browed Dragon Snake, Tian Ze, the leader of the Hundred Yue Sky Group.
Before the girl who was writing the letter could pick up her pen, a ten-foot-tall giant said in a rough voice,""Why are you wasting so much time? Didn't the Lord of the Underworld send us here to break through the Mohist City of Traps? Why don't we just kill them all and ask the Lord of the Underworld for credit!”
The remaining two didn't speak, as if they were waiting for a result.
"Enough, Peerless Ghost." Tian Ze frowned slightly." We were only ordered to come here to make preparations. As for when and what to do, it should be decided by the Lord of the Underworld. How can we make our own decisions!?"”
"Yan Lingji, hurry up and write the book. Don't delay the opportunity.”
"Yes, sir."
