The reason why there is such an order is not because Wei Zhuang wants to mess with these children.
In fact, this order is equivalent to coming from the imperial court.
In the transaction between Ni Liusha and the Empire, Gai Nie belongs to Wei Zhuang, while Tian Ming belongs to Ying Zheng.
Of course, what His Majesty the First Emperor wanted was not a dead child, but an intact Tianming, so all Qin soldiers were not allowed to kill Tianming.
This order originally only affected Tianming. After Wei Zhuang knew about it, he expanded the scope to ensure Qianlong's safety. The reason was also very good. It was impossible to show all the soldiers one by one the portrait of Tianming, so he might as well let it go.
There is no wrongdoing.
Of course, Wei Zhuang would not completely rely on Aci for Qianlong's safety, let alone fully trust the obedience of these big-headed soldiers.
Maybe there are a few people who are not afraid of death, so he has other plans secretly, which I don’t need to go into details here.
Let’s talk about these unlucky kids.
As teenagers whose physical development is immature, their height and physical strength limit their performance in long-distance running. Generally speaking, they cannot outrun adults - maybe Shao Yu is physically stronger, but he is the only exception.
However, Qin soldiers also performed poorly in the sport of running.
Their physical fitness is quite good, and their physical fitness is impeccable, but the events they choose are different.
The three people in Tianming chose free long-distance running, but they ran cross-country with weights.
This thick armor from head to toe weighs at least ten or twenty pounds. It is difficult to walk fast in it, let alone run.
Seeing the three moving lumps of gold and titles right in front of them, they chased after them with all their strength. Even their weapons were dropped to the ground first, but they couldn't close the distance - they even thought of taking off their armor.
It's a pity that this thing is not like a weapon, you can just throw it away, and the steps are very complicated.
By the time they take it off, the person will have disappeared.
And the road Tianming and the others are escaping on now happens to have many forks, which is very suitable for getting rid of the enemy.
Sure enough, after turning around, the three little figures completely disappeared from the sight of the Qin soldiers.
Seeing that their great achievements were about to disappear, these soldiers certainly refused to give up easily and immediately spread out, planning to conduct a carpet search around them to see if they could rediscover the whereabouts of those children.
However, at this time, an unexpected figure walked out of a nearby passage, Shi Shiran, looked at the searching soldiers, and asked in a deep voice:
"What are you doing?"
"Ah!" The leader, who was actually a centurion, or a hundred generals, was startled when he saw the sudden appearance of this man, and immediately knelt down on one knee to salute, "See you, general."
The other soldiers followed suit and saluted.
That's right, the person who suddenly appeared was none other than the deputy general of the Qin army, Zhong Limei - at least it looked like Zhong Limei.
He waved his hand, motioning for the soldiers to stand up, and asked again, "What do you want to do by spreading out the team?"
"And where are your weapons!?"
Baijiang hurriedly explained, "Oh, we discovered a few teenagers before, but after tracking them we lost track of them, so we plan to spread out and look for them."
"As for the weapons... I was in a hurry to chase people, so I abandoned them for the time being."
"Huh?" Zhong Limei frowned, but did not scold the hundred generals, "It is indeed an important matter."
"These young men are the key criminals appointed by His Majesty the Emperor and must not be let go!"
Then he reminded by the way, "The road I came here is a dead end. There is no need to search. Let me check other places inch by inch."
"Also, remember not to hurt them!"
A circle of soldiers responded one after another, and then started searching in panic.
Zhong Limei rejected the suggestion of a hundred generals to escort him and left here on his own.
The line of sight extends inward along the passage where Zhong Limei appeared, and until the end of the passage, one can once again see the familiar long stone bridge with self-igniting lamps lit and rugged edges.
Yes, this road is the entrance to the Mohist forbidden area.
The three people from Tianming were at the connection between the passage and the stone bridge, sitting in different postures, either slumped on the ground, reaching out to support the wall, or bending over to support their knees, each breathing heavily.
Tianming sat paralyzed on the ground, leaning on the stone wall of the passage, and glanced sideways at the stone bridge not far away. He felt that it looked familiar. He frowned and recalled it and realized that he had seen it not long ago.
"We...huh...how did we get here?"
"Huh...this is...a dead end!"
Shaoyu took a few deep breaths, then withdrew his hand that was holding on to the wall. After trying to stand firm, he responded angrily:
"Nonsense!"
"Huh... I was so nervous when I was running away just now... who... who could care about knowing the way!"
"Speaking of which, why are these Qin soldiers so crazy and risking their lives to chase us?"
As soldiers, it is understandable that they try their best to pursue the enemy Shao Yu, but as for this, do they even want nothing from him?
Ridiculous!
"Huh..." Chitaki slowly exhaled a long breath, straightened his waist with both hands, and stood up, "I'm not sure, but we'd better hide."
Tianming was still panting heavily, with his eyes half-open, "Huh...but there's no way to go?"
"No one has been chasing us for such a long time, we should get rid of them temporarily." Shao Yu briefly analyzed the situation, "This way there is no need to worry."
"Then let's go back to the previous route?" Tianming didn't want to think about it, so he thoughtlessly asked his friends for their opinions.
Chitaki immediately shook his head and objected, "This is definitely not possible. They may not have gone far. It is easy to bump into them again if they go out rashly."
"Then let's just wait here?" When the plan failed, Tianming immediately raised the question again.
"Uh..." Chitaki got stuck.
If you just wait, it will definitely be safe in the short term, but you won’t be sure if it takes a long time.
If someone blocks the door, you don’t even have to run.
At this time, Shaoyu stood in front of the stone bridge, folding his arms and looking at the suspended bridge that did not seem to welcome people.
"I said, we have no way out, right?"
Upon hearing this, Tianming, who was lying half-dead on the ground, suddenly became energetic. His eyes suddenly opened wide, and he jumped up, excitedly approaching Shaoyu.
"You mean, let's enter this forbidden area?"
"Yeah!" Shao Yu nodded with a smile.
"Hehe!" Tianming, who tried to break into the forbidden area last time but couldn't, suddenly let out a few bad laughs, "I think it's feasible."
Chitaki subconsciously dissuaded, "No, the forbidden area is very dangerous."
Shaoyu immediately retorted, "But it's not safe outside now!"
"I'm afraid that the entire city is already full of Qin soldiers. There is a high probability that we will have nowhere to go."
As he spoke, he pointed to the entrance stone bridge and said, "This is the only road."
"Besides, no matter how dangerous the forbidden area is, it can't be a death trap that kills people once you enter it. The best we can do is find a safe place to hide."
