Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1656 Confrontation
  Bai Tu, who was lying on the ground shivering, was like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered. As soon as the butcher's knife fell, he would be killed on the spot.

Shurou doesn't want Bai Tu, because he is indeed useful, otherwise there is no need to come to see him in person.

But now it's not a question of whether Bai Tu will die or not, but whether he himself can leave alive is hard to say.

In any case, the first priority for Shurou is to ensure his own safety. In this way, Bai Tu's life has become a bargaining chip for him, or... a tool.

"If all three of us take action, this person will be instantly dismembered and torn apart by the sword energy... The scene will probably be exciting."

Zhu Lu said with a gloomy smile, as if he was threatening Zongheng with Bai Tu's life.

Actually...it is.

For Gai Nie Weizhuang at this time, it was important to win the subordinate Luo, but it was equally important to keep Bai Tu.

The former must have a good understanding of Luo Wang's overall plan for the farmer, far more understanding and more valuable than the latter.

However, he is also far more difficult to deal with and handle than the latter.

The difficulty here is not his strength, but his professional ethics as a trap killer... Maybe he doesn't have this, but it will definitely be difficult to pry his mouth open.

In comparison, if Bai Tu knew something related to the snare, he would be able to dig it out.

The treasure chest with an unknown result is of course precious, but it’s best not to throw away the guaranteed reward.

However, Wei Zhuang didn't take threats and sneered coldly, "Do you think I care about his life or death?"

When Bai Tu heard this, his face turned pale again and again. Unfortunately, he was suppressed by the sword energy at this time and could not even say anything to beg for mercy.

It was better for Gai Nie to be kinder and try to persuade him, "If you kill the Shadow Guards, Zhang Han will not let you go."

"You can't escape!"

Gai Nie tried to make Shurou understand that pinching a life-saving straw could not save him.

However, Shurou didn't think so and asked with a smile, "Really?"

"Luo Wang and the Shadow Guard both work for the empire, how could I kill the Shadow Guard?"

"Those two poor Shadow Guards were obviously killed by the two gangsters in Guigu!"

Luo Lao activated his skill - knock him down and rake.

Zhang Han would definitely not believe his nonsense, let alone Gai Nie Weizhuang.

But Luo didn't need them to believe him. He just needed an excuse to fend off the Shadow Guards. They were originally hostile to each other.

As long as there is a reasonable excuse that can prevent Zhang Han from actually suing them to the emperor.

His ruthless attitude left Genie speechless.

However, Wei Zhuang has reached the limit of his patience and does not intend to continue talking nonsense with the other party.

"Let me see if there is a gap between you and your colleagues!"

With a cold word, Wei Zhuang waved his shark teeth and rushed directly towards Shurou.

Gai Nie stood by quietly and did not cooperate with his junior brother to take action.

He had to watch Bai Tu and protect him from being affected and die.

It has to be said that sometimes it is very embarrassing to throw a rat into a trap.

Over there, Wei Zhuang has already started fighting with Shurou.

The gold content of Luo Wang's Tian Zi Tier 1 is still sufficient. Even the Attribute Luo, which has been hidden by Zhao Gao, is not inferior to any Tian Zi killer known to the world.

Under Wei Zhuang's aggressive offensive, he is still doing well so far.

At this time, one of the Shadow Secret Guards who had been lying on the ground for a while took his last breath and launched the distress firework on his body.

Colorful fire exploded in the sky, and then disappeared, but Lu Lu's heart sank again. He was really unlucky today. He was able to deal with two tails and was lucky enough to be spared by the other party.

Now he's in even greater trouble.

Originally, it might take more than half an hour for the Shadow Guard to arrive, but now... half an incense stick at most.

However, the early arrival of the Shadow Guard is also an opportunity for him. After all, in terms of difficulty, Guigu Zongheng is definitely more troublesome for Shuluo.

On the contrary, the Shadow Guard is an existence that can be exploited.

After a moment's consideration, Shu Lu immediately retreated, dodged Wei Zhuang's attack and ran away into the distance.

He definitely couldn't escape, and he didn't expect to be able to get rid of Wei Zhuang, he just wanted to change places.

You know, he didn't come to see Bai Tu without any preparation.

………………

In Songhai, Guxun's small courtyard, the lobby was lit with bright lights.

In the room, Gu Xun and Zhang Liang sat across from each other, each holding a cup of hot tea. Gu Xun also held an extra piece of letterhead in his hand.

He's looking at it.

After a moment, he reached out and handed the letter to Zhang Liang, with an expected expression on his face:

"Haha, Meng Tian followed in the footsteps of Li Zuoche and Sima Shang, and suffered a heavy loss!"

Zhang Liang took the letter and didn't have time to read it. Hearing this, he couldn't help showing a little surprise, "So General Meng...shouldn't be right. Didn't he receive information about that strange army?"

"And he should be taking advantage of the situation..."

Gu Xun shrugged, "I know, I know, do you expect him to come up with a way to deal with that army in less than a month based on less than a page of information?"

"He is still accustomed to using his old tricks. Well... the other party seems to be very good at dealing with cavalry. It is not surprising that he got the same result as Sima Shang and the others."

"Fortunately, I took advantage of the situation and took some initiative. The loss was not big, but I was a little disgraced."

In just two sentences, Zhang Liang roughly scanned the information about the Northland written above, and couldn't help but nod his head and said:

"It seems that General Meng will stay in Yanmen County for a while longer."

Gu Xun took a sip of tea and murmured with a slightly distracted look, "There's no need to be anxious, just take your time. It's not a bad thing for us if the situation in the North is in a stalemate for a while."

Zhang Liang's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. He stretched out his hand to hand the letter to the candle and lit it. He nodded, "Indeed, it's not a bad thing."

If the Northland cannot be ended in a short time, the empire must strengthen the strength of the Northland border army - the number of troops will definitely not be increased, but the ordnance and equipment, food, grass, horses, etc. can still be supported.

This is certainly a good thing for quicksand.

Although they have a rich family, they can never have too much material for free.

The most important thing is that the state of war can ensure that Meng Tian can control the entire border army to the maximum extent, not just the Golden Fire Cavalry.

As for that special unit... that's not a big deal.

Not to mention that according to the intelligence obtained by Liusha, there seems to be some discord between the leader of that army and the noble wolf clan Modun Shanyu. Even if he is completely loyal to Modun, it doesn't mean much.

An army of several thousand men might be able to bring a lot of help to Modu on the grasslands where cavalry is popular, but for the empire, it was too small.

Meng Tian hadn't had time to mobilize his army yet, so he only led a small number of Golden Fire Cavalry to make a tentative attack.

After the army was assembled, Meng Tian was able to overwhelm the opponent to death just by relying on their numbers. After all, Yanmen County was not the wolf tribe's prairie, and there was not such open terrain for them to hide.

"Speaking of which, the battle situation in Lingnan seems to be in a state of anxiety." Zhang Liang changed the subject at this time.
