Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1631 The Battle for the Stone of Enlightenment (Qiansi)

Facing the little fat man who planned to 'spend a lot of money', Ji Bu opened his mouth, but finally gave a negative answer:

"Sorry, little brother."

Being rejected again, Azhi lowered his head in frustration.

Since he had been taught since he was a child not to grab other people's things casually, he didn't consider the option of grabbing it directly at this moment - grabbing the Yinghuo Stone didn't count, it was his sister who asked him to get it.

Azhi, whose emotions came and went quickly, immediately raised his head again and glared angrily at Ji Bu, who was not giving him face. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the box that was stepped on by him:

"Get up, I'm going to bring the box to my sister."

"Presumptuous! None of you can escape."

The stubborn Zhong Limei, even though he was completely tortured by A Ci, now said that he was not losing at all. He also threw away the long sword like a sawtooth in his hand and took out his own iron bow. Zhang Gong was Four fine steel arrows were attached and pointed directly at... Ji Bu in the car.

Ah Ci was not the focus of his attention at the moment. After all, the box containing the fragments of the Stone of Fire was carried on Ji Bu's back, and the heartless little fat man was still pestering the empty big box.

Of course, if possible, he would definitely not want to let go of any of these traitors who openly violated the empire... but he also knew very well that he could only think about it.

"Ji Bu... aren't you a thief? Why did you steal it this time!?" Zhong Limei asked in a deep voice... or rather sarcastically, with his eyes fixed on Ji Bu who was holding the golden peony.

He recognized this world-famous drama thief immediately.

Of course it was the first time we met, but the characteristics of the golden peony in the other person's hand were too distinct.

Faced with Zhong Limei's doubts, Ji Bu chuckled and replied calmly, "I am stealing openly. There is a fundamental difference between stealing and robbing, which is an act with no technical skills."

"Hmph! According to imperial law, this is robbery!" Zhong Limei responded angrily, and at the same time, the four arrows in his hand flew out.

The four arrows separated immediately after leaving the string. One of them rubbed downward against the ground and then turned upward. .

The four arrows locked Ji Bu's front, rear, left, and right directions at the same time.

Zhong Limei's wind-chasing arc arrow is a miraculous skill.

Ji Bu didn't pay much attention to the arrow that was about to arrive. With a flick of his finger, part of the golden peony flower flew up from his hand. He himself rose into the sky and went straight to the top of the mountain wall. When the arrow was about to hit, He disappeared on the carriage a moment ago.

In the end, Zhong Limei could not leave anyone behind, but only left a golden peony... plus four more holes in the empty box.

Ah Ci stared at this scene and became even more unhappy.

What a mess you have made of my box!
  Fortunately, he was stubborn and felt that since his sister didn't tell him not to let the box get hurt, getting some holes in it wasn't a big problem, so he was just a little unhappy and didn't get angry.

If Zhong Limei and the others completely destroyed the box, then he would probably have to let them see what the real fourth sword manual was.

Zhong Limei definitely had no interest in talking to this little fat man now. He rushed to the carriage in a few steps, looked at the golden peony that was nailed to the wooden box by his arrow, and spat hard.

At this time, Ji Bu's voice came from above the mountain wall:

"What a skill with the Wind Chasing Arc Arrow!"

"It's a pity that someone with such skill is willing to become a pawn of the empire and slaughter the people of the six countries. It's really shameful!"

Zhong Limei's only feeling when he heard this was that this man was sick.

I am an imperial soldier and I have killed a lot of people, but those who died under my hands were either soldiers from the Six Nations or rebels and bandits, not ordinary people!
  Why do you just slap a bucket of shit on someone's head so casually?

Before he could scold him back, Ji Bu's voice sounded again:

"Your fate will be even more tragic than theirs!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Limei's eyelids jumped suddenly, as if he realized something, and he shouted hurriedly:

"Get away! Hurry!"

Although Zhong Limei reacted quickly, the imperial soldiers did not have as keen acumen as him. Even after hearing the warning, their immediate reaction was confusion.

But even if they obeyed the command in time, it would still be too late. Zhong Limei's reminder itself was already too late.

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden peony that was nailed to the box suddenly trembled, and then the petals suddenly exploded. Each petal was like a sharp blade, shooting out in all directions.

Zhong Limei jumped up immediately, turned over and retreated to avoid these 'hidden weapons'.

Although Ah Ci was stupid and didn't notice something was wrong at the first time like Zhong Limei, his reaction speed was much higher than others. He waved his sword almost instinctively and easily pushed away the petals that were attacking him.

But the imperial soldiers around them did not have this ability. Under Ji Bu's deliberate control, the petals, as thin and sharp as blades, were just right across their exposed throats.

Dozens of imperial soldiers couldn't even scream. They covered their necks one by one and fell to the ground while whimpering. Blood gurgled from their necks and flowed all over the ground.

After completing their mission, these petals were pulled by the invisible force and flew towards the cliff.

Zhong Limei snorted coldly when he saw this, and immediately drew his bow and arrow, "Humph! Want to escape?"

As the words fell, three arrows shot out, drawing several different arcs in mid-air, and each nailed a golden petal.

Of course, Zhong Limei's purpose was not to use his wind-chasing arc arrows to stop the 'murderers' who had killed the imperial soldiers - there were dozens of flower petals, and no matter how fast he shot, he would not be able to make it in time.

He just wants to use his own arrows to build a way out for himself.

His Qinggong was not as good as Ji Bu's. He could climb up the cliff of more than ten or twenty feet easily. It was easier to set up a few fulcrums.

Then Zhong Limei didn't waste a moment. A Ci was ignored by him and jumped up. After using the three arrows at different heights that he had deliberately nailed on the mountain wall, he successfully climbed up the cliff.

As soon as he climbed up, he didn't hesitate even for a breath, and turned around to draw his bow and arrow. He saw that Ji Bu had already mounted the prepared horse, and the golden peony in his hand had returned to its previous flower shape, but a few petals were missing.

Then he shook the reins, galloped the horse, and flew away in the dust.

In this case, there was no point in shooting the arrow. Zhong Limei let go and fell to the ground, looking at Ji Bu who was riding Juechen, his face was very ugly.

At the foot of the cliff, Azhi, who had no one to play with, stopped lingering. He jumped onto the carriage with a smile, pulled out all the arrows densely packed on the box, picked him up and ran away happily.

On the other side, Zhang Han ordered his subordinates, "Follow us!"

"Follow both of them?"

"Follow them all, mainly keep an eye on Ji Bu, that boy... find out where he comes from." Zhang Han replied after pondering for a moment.

"Then do we want to take back the Stone of Fire and capture the thief?"

"No need!" Zhang Han raised his hand and objected without thinking, "We just need to wait for the situation to develop."

………………

Daze Mountain, somewhere in the forest.

The Zhu family walked leisurely through the woods, heading towards a certain destination.

At this time, a farmer disciple came in a hurry and reported loudly:

"Hall Master, there is news from Ji Bu that we have succeeded."

"Hehe." Liu Ji shook his head and smiled when he heard this, and joked humorously, "It would be strange if he missed... He is one of the most thieves in the world."

Zhu Jia pinched his beard, the 'joy' look on his face expressed his mood, he chuckled and said, "Well... don't be too careless, Tian Hu won't let go easily."

"Come on, let's go over there and pick him up."

After saying that, he took the lead in leading the team forward. Liu Ji fell behind, shrugged helplessly, tilted his head and asked Situ Wanli beside him:

"Do I look like a careless person?"

Situ Wanli didn't answer, just patted him on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully.

You don't look like it, so who else does?
  Liu Ji looks carefree all day long. Anyone who looks at him will think that he is an unreliable person.

Of course, the Zhu family and Situ Wanli were just teasing him, and they knew Liu Ji's abilities very well.

After Situ Wanli finished speaking, he caught up with the Zhu family and said:

"Hall Master Zhu, since Ji Bu has succeeded, let me lead the brothers from Siyue Hall to respond first."

The Zhu family turned to look at Situ Wanli, "I'm a little worried, that area is the territory of the Tian family."

"Haha, I'm worried. My hobby is collecting debts. So far, there's no debt that I can't collect."

"What I'm worried about is that I don't know whether the Yinghuo Stone is a good debt or a bad debt!" the Zhu family responded with a sigh.

Situ Wanli stepped forward and accelerated, parting ways with the Zhu family for the time being, and finally replied, "After you get it, you will naturally know whether it is a good debt or a bad debt."

………………

Luomapo, on the mountain wall.

Gai Nie looked at Zhong Limei who was reorganizing the remaining soldiers below and preparing to continue chasing Ji Bu on horseback, and said in a deep voice:
  "Since Zhang Han has come with the Shadow Guards, the defensive power of the Yinghuo Stone shouldn't be so weak. Is he... fishing?"

Wei Zhuang responded with a smile on his face, "The Shadow Guard's responsibilities do not include protecting the Stone of Fire."

"What kind of fish did he catch?" Gai Nie asked thoughtfully.

"It seems that someone helped us find a breakthrough." Wei Zhuang replied.

What Zhang Han caught was naturally the fish in the net, and what they needed now was exactly this fish.

The two brothers looked at each other, said nothing more, turned around and left.

………………

Daze Mountain, somewhere on Luomapo.

Tian Hu, Tian Zhong and others, like the Zhu family, are also heading towards a certain destination, but they just don't know the difference.

Tian Zhong is reporting to Tian Hu at the moment:
  "Looking at the direction Ji Bu fled, there was only one way for him to leave Luomapo."

"Very good!" Tian Hu replied with a smile, "Just right for me to see if our ally is reliable."

"Have you found out where the guy Tian Mi came from?"

Tian Zhong quickly replied, "I asked my brother to check it out, but I didn't expect that the other party had a lot of background."

"Oh?" Tian Hu looked interested, "Tell me about it."

"His name is Yingbu. He used to serve in the army of Chu State and commanded the famous Thunder Leopard Legion. He was famous for his bravery."

"After the Chu army was defeated and the Chu state was destroyed, the empire put a reward of 5,000 taels of gold on his head, and he became a wandering warrior."

"Such a person would actually sacrifice his life for Tian Mi?" Tian Hu was a little surprised after hearing this.

It sounds like this is also a tough guy with strong bones. How can he serve Tian Mi, a rotten guy?
  Tian Zhong chuckled and agreed, "This is indeed a bit strange."

"Well..." Tian Hu thought for a while and then gave himself an explanation, "But Tian Mi does have unique methods for dealing with men. This Yingbu... I can't say for sure."

The Tomb of Heroes of Wenwen Village, this Tian Mi doesn't care how worn her crotch is, she is really coquettish and sexy, Tian Hu sometimes gets angry when he sees her, it is not impossible to take a savage soldier under his skirt.

"Pay more attention to this person and continue to dig deeper into his background."

"Yes, the second master." Tian Zhong responded, and then continued, "That imperial officer, Zhong Limei, who is chasing the wind arc arrow, is not giving up, and is still leading people to chase Ji Bu."

"The mute slave has gone to ambush him."

Tian Hu nodded, "The mute slave always hides his secrets. This kid Zhong Limei may not know what happened until his death."

Tian Zhong agreed with a smile, "What the second master said is that before joining Lieshan Hall, the mute slave was also a feared killer in the world. He must be able to capture an imperial officer with ease."

Tian Hu rolled his eyes and changed his words, "Just in case, we will kill a few of the empire's lackeys here and block Ji Bu's retreat."

"In that case, please ask Mr. Jin to go with you." Tian Zhong did not persuade Tian Hu to give up personally acting, but he obviously did not want Tian Hu to act alone.

What if I was ambushed?
  Tian Hu cannot die at this time.

"The second boss can't make any mistakes!"

Mr. Jin always had a paralyzed expression on his face and nodded calmly, "As ordered."

Tian Hu did not refuse Tian Zhong's arrangement. He looked at Mr. Jin and said, "Okay, let me see what you are capable of, Lao Jin."

Then he told Tian Zhong, "I'm not worried about Kuei Hall. Go there yourself and keep an eye on this woman Tian Mi for me."

Tian Hu was not mainly afraid that Tian Mi would make mistakes, but that Tian Mi would betray him and run away with the Stone of Enlightenment.

"Second Master, don't worry, I'll go right away." Tian Zhong bowed, clasped his fists, and left with the disciples behind him.

Tian Hu patted Mr. Jin on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, Lao Jin, follow me."

Mr. Jin turned his head and glanced at the shoulder he had just been patted on, and followed Tian Hu in a muffled voice.

………………

On the mountain behind Luomapo, Zhong Limei led the remaining imperial soldiers on horseback and chased Ji Bu all the way here.

He stopped here because there was a fork in the road.

In front of him was a fenced-in cottage, inside which an old man with weak legs was collecting firewood.

There is a road on the left and right sides of the house.

He now needed to find a way to confirm which direction Ji Bu went.

The fastest way is definitely to ask the old man in the fence yard.

After thinking about this, Zhong Limei immediately got off his horse and quickly approached the courtyard gate. He did not rush in and greeted him from a distance:

"Old man, old man!"

The old man chopping wood turned around when he heard the sound. He was not too old, but his figure was stooped and his legs and feet were thin. Looking at his back, he looked very old.

Zhong Limei didn't care about this and quickly asked, "Old man, have you ever seen anyone passing by here not long ago?"

The old man dragged his inconvenient legs and approached Zhong Limei, and he was dumbfounded as soon as he spoke:
  "Aba...Aba...Aba Aba..."

Turns out to be a mute!
