Lights flickered.
In a tent in the Qilian Mountains, Lu Buwei read the news sent by his subordinates and looked at the number of Swordsmen killed on the battlefield. He frowned and said nothing.
Finally, Lu Buwei took a deep breath.
His brows gradually relaxed.
"In the end, there's still no one who's too outstanding."
"There are only two people worth worrying about."
Lu Buwei took out the letters representing Li Chungang and Deng Tai'e and narrowed his eyes.
"Shadow Guards."
The light moved slightly.
A pitch-black figure silently appeared in the shadows of the tent's candlelight.
His entire body was shrouded in darkness, and only a pair of emerald green eyes could be seen.
"What orders do you have, sir?" The Shadow Guard bowed respectfully.”
"Lead thirty troops to the palace and find out the origins of these three thousand swordsmen.”
"Investigate their background, cultivation, where they live now, what kind of cultivation techniques they cultivate, their specialties, their personalities, and so on. Record everything, big or small.”
As the candle flickered, Lu Buwei took out two bamboo slips and threw them to the shadow guard.
"This Li Chungang and Deng Tai'e are both quite powerful. They should have left some traces in the world.”
"Hurry up and go. There can't be any mistakes."
The shadow guard respectfully received the bamboo scroll.”
"Remember, without my orders, no one is allowed to make a move.”Lu Buwei ordered calmly.
"Understood!"
The black shadow nodded and slowly merged into the shadows, disappearing.
The candlelight lit up slightly. Lu Buwei took a deep breath as he flipped through the report in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
Tapping on the table, the candle flame in Lu Buwei's eyes flickered. Who gave Ying Zheng these three thousand sword cultivators?
He didn't think that Ying Zheng had the ability and courage to find 3,000 sword cultivators.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and killing intent filled the entire tent.
"It seems like someone in Great Qin doesn't want to give me this piece of meat."
"But regardless of Ying Zheng or the people behind him, they are still too immature.”
"How can we casually reveal a trump card like three thousand sword xiu? If he couldn't keep his cool, how could he accomplish great things?”
"Too hard is easy to break, a tall tree attracts the wind."
"In this world, although cultivators are rare, but…It's not like we can't find it."
As he slowly chanted, a gentle breeze blew, and a powerful aura gradually spread out from Lu Buwei's body.
Thump!
He extended a finger and tapped the table lightly. Wisps of dim light lingered around him.
"Be it you, Ying Zheng, or the people behind you."
"This Qin Country!"
Lu Buwei slowly raised his head. In his old eyes, green light sparkled and finally turned into a pair of dazzling emerald pupils!
"In the end, it will still be my Great Qin!!”
................
The stars shone high up in the sky, and the moon hung high in the sky.
On the Qilian Mountains, a night had passed. Lu Buwei was still calculating, frowning as he pondered over the news.
Meanwhile, something happened in Shouchun, which was extremely far away from here.
Shouchun.
In the current Huainan City of Hui Province.
For thousands of years, it was the capital of Chu.
It was already the end of September. The autumn weather was clear and refreshing, but the temperature was not low. The flowers in the south were still brilliant and eye-catching.
The heavy rain had passed, and the air was filled with a refreshing atmosphere. The sky was blue as if it was washed.
Shouchun was no exception.
In the streets and alleys, there was an aura of peace everywhere.
There were peddlers carrying baskets on their backs as they walked through the streets and alleys, shouting and hawking.
A roadside stall opened the steamer, and a steaming hot steamed bun filled the air. The fragrance assailed their nostrils.
One figure after another walked on the streets, breathing in the air of the rainy season that was about to end. The entire city was peaceful and stable.
However, just as Shouchun was in a state of peace.
Little did he know that not far away, there was a rainstorm.
In the Great Chu Imperial Palace.
It was as cold as winter.
One figure after another sat cross-legged in the palace, staring down at the stone slab.
Some of them were famous scholars; Some of them were experienced politicians who were good at dancing; There were also generals who attacked cities and strongholds and were undefeated.
However, at this moment, they were all looking down, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
They were all the most astute and top-notch officials in the Great Chu Dynasty. In the past, any one of them could open their mouths with a smile and chat with anyone.
However, at this moment, their expressions were all terrifyingly ugly.
It was clearly the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, but the entire palace seemed to have arrived in the depths of winter.
It was terrifyingly cold.
Actually, this was not the case.
Today's morning court session was just a normal morning court session.
The officials below actively spoke up, wanting to gain the attention of the king and adopt policies.
The sovereign above was all smiles as well, ready to welcome the news of victory in the battle at the distant Qilian Mountains.
However, just as the atmosphere was at its most harmonious.
A figure, a messenger from the front line, rushed over and knelt on the ground.
Just one sentence had broken all the peace.
"Reporting to the king!"
"In the battle at Qilian Mountain the night before, Great, Great Chu was defeated!”
"Three thousand sword cultivators from the Qin Country appeared out of nowhere. They were unparalleled and led an army to break through the Zhao and Chu Country's barracks yesterday!”
"Great Chu suffered heavy losses. Jing Cui, Jing Yang, Zhuang Qiao, and Zhuo Chi were killed in the chaotic army!”
"General Xiang Yan is unconscious and on his way back!”
"According to the rough statistics of this battle, our Great Chu army has suffered more than 90,000 casualties."
As soon as he said this, the entire hall fell silent.
You can hear a pin drop.
