Chapter 24: The Dead Are Like a River [I]

Under the dark night, the starlight gradually faded, and a thick layer of clouds and mist shrouded the entire Xianyang Palace, begging for the night to be as cool as water, and countless lights looked a little sad and pale under this cold night.

A team of guards still stood solemnly in their posts, they shouldered the highest mission of the empire, from the first moment they stepped here, their lives did not belong to themselves, but to this huge palace gate, the supreme emperor His Majesty.

The wind seems to be blocked by this heavy palace gate, and in the bright and swaying hall, there is no cold, no darkness, and there are only two exquisite bronze molds, one is the Great Wall, and the other is a mirage.

A soldier was kneeling on one knee, cold sweat sliding down his forehead little by little, at this moment his heart had already risen to his throat, his eyes were slightly raised, looking at the emperor who was standing in white with his hands in his hands, but he felt a majesty as heavy as a mountain.

“…… You go ahead. After being silent for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor's gaze finally moved away from the exquisite model of the Great Wall, and a trace of imperceptible regret crossed his eyes.

"Because the collapse of the stone statue damaged the road for transportation, many materials could not be transported, and it was the rainy season, the road was slippery and difficult to walk, and there were many people and diseases, so the original construction period will be postponed by 85 days."

"Eighty-five days later?" Ying Zheng's voice suddenly mentioned a lot, and he looked extremely impatient, obviously such an answer was not what he wanted.

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor." That one of the generals was already on his back at the moment, and his heart was uneasy.

"For you, I am adding 2,000 men and 10,000 people, and this section of the project must be completed within thirty days." After a moment of silence, His Majesty the Emperor found a way to compromise, and the tone at this moment could no longer be refused.

The tone of the general of "Thirty Days ......" was already trembling a little, and it was obvious that this was not an easy task to complete.

"If it can't be completed, all the people involved will be beheaded for public display, and the clansmen will be slaves, do you hear clearly?" In an instant, the original command instantly had a faint smell of blood.

"Yes...... The end will be obeyed. ”

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Songhai." A eunuch approached with small steps to report the news.

With a slight wave of his hand, the previous general retreated, and the eunuch held the letter in his hand and read it slowly.

"Gongzi sent a message from Songhai to report to the emperor's majesty, and as soon as he was ready, the mirage was about to set sail."

The words fell, and the arrogant figure of the emperor was once again left in the empty hall, looking at the exquisite mirage model, a smile crossed the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth, and a trace of longing flashed in his eyes without concealment, mirage, this is the biggest ambition in his heart.

………………

The change of stars and the rising sun, a caravan in the wilderness is constantly galloping, a delicate carriage is carefully guarded, from Xianyang, east out of Hanguguan, all the way to the coast of the East China Sea.

The smart Vermilion Bird only brought four words to Master Ban, but it was Zhang Zifang's handwritten book "See the Dragon in the Field".

In another quiet courtyard in Songhai City, the enchanting figure of red jade stood gracefully in the shade of the tree, looking delicate and infinite.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zifang, who is so well-informed, and the concubine admires him."

"The Baili girl is overrated, the ovary is just a few means, where can it compare to the traceless village he cast, no matter how big or small, I know everything."

"The ovary is too modest, Yan Lang doesn't know where he is at the moment, so he needs a lot of help from your friends," Hongyu said to herself, as if she had a lot of thoughts from the bottom of her heart.

"I have been friends with him for eight years, and now in times of crisis, I will naturally help each other, please rest assured that Miss Baili is here." The ovary smiled indifferently and called the girl of Hongyu Baili, naturally out of Confucian dogma.

"In that case, at this hour, Mr. Zifang, shouldn't you go and meet your friends for a while?" Hongyu sat down, took a slight sip of tea and said leisurely.

"Hehe, nothing can escape the girl's ears and eyes, if the girl is interested, why don't you go with her?" Now that the red jade has been broken, the ovary is not willing to hide, and sincere cooperation always requires relative honesty to continue.

"Otax, please!"

"Baili girl, please-!"

………………

The sea breeze is blowing, the faint salty smell, rippling in the cool wind, it looks very pleasant, the four eyes are facing each other, the shark teeth are horizontal, and the sword is empty, maybe no one would have thought that the meeting of a pair of friends would be unveiled in this way.

The crimson streamer flashed, Wei Zhuang had already flown up, the shark tooth pointed directly at Ling Xuan with this heavy coercion, Zhang Liang turned his wrist, but he didn't take it hard, just unloaded most of his strength, and the whole person's long shirt fluttered, and he leaped up to the eaves.

The long sword volleyed in the air, the shark tooth drew a wonderful whirl in the air, down against the wind, shooting directly at the Baihui point of the ovary, the sword light of the Ling Xuan sword was convenient, and he let go of the shark tooth sword mang, and then it was a longitudinal leap, and the volley was stepped on again, and the scabbard borrowed slightly on the bluestone slab, and when it stopped again, the two swords had become three swords.

An elegant and slender red sword lies between the shark tooth and Ling Xu, and its owner is also dressed in a bright red dress, Yiren is like jade, the sword is also like jade, and her blade is also the [Red Jade Sword].

"The two are lifelong friends, and the way they met really opened the eyes of the concubine." The long sword danced lightly, slowly separating the swords of the two, but Hongyu's gaze met Wei Zhuang, "It's you?" I didn't expect to see you here. "Obviously, Wei Zhuang and Hongyu also know each other.

"Zihong once instructed the concubine, if anything happens to him, Mr. Wei should be a helper." Lightly retracted the long sword, and smiled kindly at Chi Lian with his steps, but quietly waited for Wei Zhuang's answer.

――Smack――

A bamboo slip shot out from Wei Zhuang's cuffs, and landed steadily in Hongyu's hand, and then Wei Zhuang smiled and said, "This is what you want, Yan Dan's cause of death is indeed not the Six Souls Fear Curse, but the [Five Decay and Dispersion Spell], which is Xiang Jun's technique, although it is the same as that of Han Fei back then, but in the end, it is different." ”

"So, thank you Mr. Wei, I don't know if there is another thing to look at?" Ruby then asked.

"Back then, all the information about the Qi Kingdom was in your hands, as for the specific things, you should check it yourself, I don't want to set yourself on fire." Wei Zhuang frowned, obviously another thing, he didn't check well.

"Zihong has always been haunted by Sister Zhiyun's affairs back then, and he can't think of gathering the strength of several parties, but he still hasn't been found." Speaking of the deceased sisters, Hongyu is also extremely sorry.

"The deceased is gone, and there are some things that still need those of us who are alive to complete him." The deep gaze of the ovary looked at the endless ocean not far away.

The deceased is like a river, and there is a sad place in everyone's heart, he and Han Feizi were also teachers and friends, but now they can only live and die.
