Nameless Village.
Hundreds of border guards had just arrived.
Then, the sound of hooves came from afar.
Liu Le's expression changed. He turned to look at the smoke and dust in the distance, his expression uncertain.
Could it be that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived?
Thinking of this, Liu Le's expression turned solemn.
"Get into formation!" he shouted angrily.
"Prepare to face the enemy!"
As he spoke, he also mounted his horse.
He turned his horse around, nocked an arrow, and aimed at the place where the dust rose.
......
At this moment, Bai Ze, who was under the big poplar tree, also opened his eyes.
He stared at the road in the distance and narrowed his eyes.
The sharp senses bestowed by the Human Slaughterer System told him.
In the distance, there were dozens of powerful auras approaching. None of them was something he could match up to now.
There was even an extremely powerful aura that was dozens or even a hundred times stronger than the others!
Under the heavy pressure, Bai Ze reached out and touched the Qin sword in his arms.
Only then did he feel a little calmer.
Was he a friend or foe? If he was an enemy, what should he do?
At this moment, even Bai Ze, who was protected by the system, felt his insignificance.
At the same time, a strong desire rose in his heart. It was the desire for power.
......
Let's talk about Liu Le.
The hundred-jin heavy bow was pulled open, and the bow was like a full moon.
His eyes were fixed on the figure that was faintly emerging from the dust.
Beads of sweat started to appear on his forehead.
While he was vigilant, he also felt a great pressure coming from afar.
Feeling this pressure, Liu Le felt invincible.
Not to mention that unfathomable and powerful aura.
The owners of the remaining dozens of auras would probably be able to wipe out his hundreds of border guards.
Although Liu Le was frightened, he gritted his teeth to overcome this fear.
After all, his identity as a soldier of Great Qin did not allow him to be afraid.
Even if he knew that the other party was invincible, as long as he confirmed the identity of the other party's enemy.
He would also shoot the bow and arrow in his hand at the first moment.
This was the Qin army!
......
At the village entrance, hundreds of Qin soldiers drew their swords.
Liu Le was ready to attack, and the bowstring in his hand was straight.
However, in the next second, he relaxed.
That was because one of the riders had already charged out of the smoke and dust.
The man was tall and sturdy, with a resolute face and was covered in black armor.
He was riding the Empire's best warhorse, the Black Dragon Stallion!
Liu Le couldn't recognize the person, but he recognized the armor and the warhorse.
Shadow Secret Guard!
It was the only mysterious organization that was directly affiliated with His Majesty.
Among them, there were countless experts, and any one of them had the potential to be a general in the army.
His main duty was to protect His Majesty and convey His Majesty's secret orders.
In Great Qin, Shadow Guards could be described with two words.
First, like maggots attached to bones, he would protect His Majesty's safety and not leave his side.
Secondly, if the Emperor came personally, the Shadow Secret Guards would definitely have His Majesty's intentions behind them.
Thinking of this, Liu Le was shocked and hurriedly ordered everyone to dismount.
He also flipped over and landed on the ground. He led his horse to the side of the road and made way.
......
In the distance, Zhang Han led dozens of Shadow Secret Guards to look at the nameless village.
It was surrounded by mountains and rivers.
To the north was the vast northern grassland.
If one's eyesight was good, they could see thousands of meters away at a glance.
This place…Was this the residence of Lord Wu 'an in his later years?
Unexpectedly...
The War God was still concerned about the Empire in his twilight years.
He lived in seclusion at the border and intimidated the bandits in the northern border…
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Han was filled with respect.
He inadvertently saw the Qin army by the roadside.
Although he was a little puzzled, he didn't care too much.
However, when he caught a glimpse of the corpses at the village entrance, his expression darkened.
Could it be that there were still people who dared to cause trouble in the place where Lord Wu 'an lived in seclusion?
......
Dozens of meters away from the village entrance.
Zhang Han ordered dozens of Shadow Secret Guards to dismount and advance on foot.
Liu Le had also come up from afar and knelt on one knee to perform the highest etiquette of a soldier.
"I am Liu Le, the 500th commander of the 7th garrison under the jurisdiction of Yuyang County. Greetings, sir!”
Zhang Han nodded. He was already used to Liu Le's greeting.
Although his official position was not high, no matter where he went.
They all had another identity-Ying Zheng's messengers!
This point was enough to make the border generals bow to him, let alone Liu Le's identity as the 500th commander.
"Get up!"
"Yes, my lord!"
After Liu Le stood still, Zhang Han glanced at the corpse at the village entrance and asked.
"What happened here?"
Liu Le did not dare to be negligent and repeated what Li Zheng had said to him.
"Oh, one sword cut off ten heads?"
"Your swordsmanship is so outstanding at such a young age.”
Zhang Han's interest was piqued as he looked in the direction Liu Le was pointing.
A thin youth with an indifferent expression was sitting under a large poplar tree.
With just a glance, Zhang Han's body stiffened as if he had been electrocuted.
This was…
His eyes, nose, and lips…
Coupled with that indifferent and disdainful expression…
They looked alike!
It was too similar!
This young man was at least 70% similar to the current Emperor!
Speaking of which, this young man was the child adopted by Lord Wu 'an.
He was also twenty years old this year.
Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
Could it be…He really was?
.......
At the village entrance.
Zhang Han had lost the demeanor of an expert.
She opened her mouth wide and stared at Bai Ze with her eyes wide open.
Liu Le and the others were confused. What was wrong with this Lord Shadow Secret Guard?
Although that young man was outstanding, he was still a man.
She wasn't a beauty, why was Daren acting like this?
Of course, Liu Le only dared to criticize these words in his heart.
......
Under the great poplar tree,
Bai Ze only glanced at the village entrance indifferently before looking away.
Since he had confirmed that the other party was a friend and not an enemy, he naturally lost interest.
In his heart, other than Old Bai, he did not have a good impression of anyone else, nor did he hate them.
As for the soldiers of the State of Qin, perhaps it was because of Old Bai.
Perhaps it was because of the subtle influence of the system that he had a slight favorable impression of it.
It also made him decide to follow Old Bai's footsteps and join the army.
But now, the most important thing was to mourn for Old Bai for three days.
Old Bai had no descendants in his life, but he raised Bai Ze.
He was duty-bound to observe filial piety!
......
In the distance, Zhang Han had already recovered from his shock.
He shook his head and mocked himself in his heart.
Impossible, according to the rumors.
That child had been executed by the late king twenty years ago.
How could this be…
Moreover, that child was cursed and was not blessed by the Heavenly Dao.
It was hard to say if he could keep his life, but how could he have cultivated such a brilliant sword technique?
Thinking of this, although Zhang Han still had doubts in his heart, he could only blame it on his overthinking.
Zhang Han strode to the tree.
He looked at the simple little mound and then at the few crooked Qin characters on the tombstone.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Then, he looked at Bai Ze with a smile.
"This young friend, I'm Elder Bai's former comrade.”
"I've heard of Senior White's grievous news, so I've come to offer my condolences.”
"At the same time, I was entrusted by Old Bai's old friend to repair Old Bai's grave.”
Zhang Han tried his best to appear amiable, afraid of disturbing this young man.
In a few words, he clearly explained the mission His Majesty had given him.
As for Elder Bai's identity, since he was unwilling to reveal it when he was alive…
He probably had his own reasons, so Zhang Han didn't make a fuss about Baiqi's identity.
After a few words, Zhang Han looked at Bai Ze.
He waited for his reply.
Bai Ze raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Han.
This glance made Zhang Han's scalp tighten.
Three words popped out in his heart,[They look too alike!]
Then, Bai Ze said indifferently,""If you want to mourn, then mourn."
"As for repairing the tomb, there's no need.”
"The pit I dug for Old Bai is the best grave in the world.”
"Even if Old Bai was still alive, he wouldn't say anything!”
Bai Ze's voice was not loud, but his meaning and attitude were very clear.
