The two of them had never practiced using two swords together before. Before, they were just trying to catch a duck, and they were not skilled at all.
Fortunately, the two of them had practiced martial arts very solidly, so they didn't make any mistakes in their joint efforts. It was just that it was very difficult to use.
Because Zhao Gao didn't know about it before, he didn't have any extra precautions. In addition, the two men besieged Zhao Gao at that time, causing him to be in a hurry and very embarrassed. Therefore, the two of them were able to seize the opportunity and combine their swords.
Now if he wants to do this again, even if Dianqing doesn't know about it, Zhao Gao will tell him and try his best to stop it.
When Chen and Xue Nu faced Zhao Gao, they could rely on relay entanglement to complete the preparations before the merger, but they had no such certainty when facing the ceremony.
Dianqing's actual combat power may not be stronger than Zhao Gao's, but he has a dominating body and can directly ignore other people's attacks and forcibly interrupt Xue Nu or Chen He's charge preparations.
So the current situation is that the two of them can't break the situation without combining, but it's almost impossible to complete the combination without breaking the situation.
Both ends are blocked, perfect circulation.
What's even worse is that they can't break the situation, and neither can anyone else.
Wei Zhuang Gai Nie may have this ability, but they are too busy dealing with the Six Sword Slaves to get away - it's hard to tell whether they both have some bad intentions.
After all, they were the two of them who were least determined to assassinate Ying Zheng.
Of course, Yuki-onna and the others don’t know this.
From their perspective, there is nothing wrong with what Gai Nie Weizhuang did.
After all, the Six Sword Slaves are really a big trouble. No matter what, at least one of them must be tripped up by Gai Nie Weizhuang.
Freeing one of them alone would probably not solve the big problem of the ceremony, so in the end there is still no solution.
Dianqing... Many people present have heard of the term "brass-headed and iron-armed, able to fight without injury", and they all know that Dianqing is a tough guy to deal with.
But only when they actually fought against each other did they realize how difficult this guy was to deal with. It was like blacksmithing, the kind of hard iron that had not been softened by calcining at all.
It has no use other than setting off a bunch of sparks and making your hands numb.
Seeing the passage of time, Xue Nu and Chen He took several risks and wanted to directly risk their lives. They exchanged injuries for opportunities and directly crossed the ceremony to attack the carriage.
However, the ceremony still did not give them any chance, neither hurting anyone nor letting them go, and they strictly performed their duties as guards.
Finally, the turmoil in the convoy subsided, and the Imperial Guard began to surround this final battlefield.
In addition to the Imperial Guards, there were also local garrisons transferred from all over Jiaodong. A large group of people blocked the entire convoy and even the entire Xixiang Valley Road.
At this time, Zhang Han also walked out from among the many soldiers with his secret shadow guards.
In fact, he had discovered the situation here a long time ago, and basically arrived one after another with the people from the Mo family.
However, after observing the situation and confirming that there was no problem with the emperor's safety, he did not show up and instead went to stabilize the Imperial Guards.
On the one hand, he personally dislikes Zhao Gao and does not want to join forces with him. In addition, there is a ceremony, so there is no guarantee that Zhao Gao will not take the opportunity to make a fuss.
Zhang Han is not afraid of some of Zhao Gao's trash talk, but he doesn't want to hear it either.
On the other hand, it's really not necessary.
The imperial side was not at a disadvantage, and one more person could not completely overwhelm the Mohist side.
It's a deadlock if he plays, and it's a deadlock if he doesn't play. It's useless anyway.
He rushed all the way here tonight in order to show off in front of Ying Zheng instead of just showing up.
Not playing any real role will only make Ying Zheng think that he is a waste.
Another part of the reason is similar to what Zhao Gao had in mind - Zhang Han didn't want Tianming to suddenly fall into the emperor's hands.
He wanted to express himself, but he did not want to get involved in the power dispute between the emperor and the imperial advisor again.
Gu Xun made it clear that his attitude towards Tianming was unusual, and he clearly showed that he did not intend to let Tianming fall into the hands of the emperor... Even the Yin and Yang family had such signs.
Zhang Han didn't know the details, so he decided to avoid it as much as possible.
So Zhang Han simply turned to gather the Imperial Guards who were in chaos, and finally led a large force to surround the place - it was reasonable and well-founded to avoid Tianming's problem, and it would also be the trouble of the net.
Seeing the siege by the army, Gai Nie and others finally determined that their side was losing the battle, so they stopped fighting and stopped fighting.
Zhao Gao led the Tianzi Killer Group with a net in front of the carriage. Gai Nie and others confronted them, while Zhang Han was behind Gai Nie and others.
Seeing the two sides stop fighting, Zhang Han stepped forward and said with a smile, "Everyone who came today seems to be acquaintances... very good!"
"Last time, we failed to invite the two people from Guigu Zongheng. This time, let's invite everyone together."
Anyway, he was just talking casually. Zhang Han was not polite at all and directly blasted everyone.
Even if he can't catch anyone later, it doesn't stop him from speaking harshly now.
Tian Heng, who had a bad temper, smashed his gun on the ground when he heard this, and replied angrily, "What a loud tone... Do you have what it takes?"
Zhang Han calmly continued talking nonsense, "At this moment, the Mohist disciples responsible for disrupting the convoy escort have all evacuated. Only nine of you are still there. One of them is injured and cannot fight anymore, and the other is simply unconscious, which is equivalent to two burdens."
"In contrast, what you have to face is Mr. Zhao, the leader of Luo Wang, and his nine Tianzi first-class killers, as well as more than 2,800 reorganized Imperial Guards, and nearly 4,000 people came to support
Where to garrison troops.”
"Do you think you can still escape safely?"
"Why not?" Tian Heng refused to budge and sneered, "It's just these wastes, no matter how much they are piled up, what will happen?"
In the Qin Dynasty, the soldiers in the world rarely played a role, so it was normal for Tian Heng to look down on them.
"Idle soldiers are naturally no match for you, but aren't there Zhao Fu Ling and his people?" Zhang Han happily took the initiative to take the job for Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao's face twitched when he heard this. Of course, he couldn't let Zhang Han do it. He immediately stepped forward and said in a feminine tone:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "General Zhang Han is so courageous, Zhao Gao should help him with all his strength."
"By the way, General Zhang Han was not here earlier, so I have to remind you of something else."
Zhao Gaoyin smiled and pretended to be a reminder, but actually pulled him into the sewer, "His Majesty the Emperor has spoken, and the fainted boy must be kept."
Zhao Gao didn't mean to throw the blame seriously in these words, because it was difficult for him to throw the blame away, so what he wanted was to drag Zhang Han into the water and catch Tianming together.
If he doesn't catch it in the end, it's better for two people to carry it together than for him to bear the thunder alone, which can help him take some of the pressure away.
If caught, not only would Zhao Gao get a share of the credit, but Zhang Han would probably have to suffer at Gu Xun's place.
For Zhao Gao, even if he can't make a profit, at least he won't lose anything.
Zhang Han saw that Zhao Gao was trying to drag him into trouble, so he quickly distanced himself from the situation, "The Shadow Guards are weak alone, and Zhang Han is incompetent. Everything depends on Zhao's orders."
Even in front of Ying Zheng, Zhang Han still directly expressed his powerlessness - because he was indeed powerless.
Even if Gai Nie and the others brought two oil bottles, he and his shadow secret guards could not handle it. Only Zhao Gao and his extremely luxurious nine-man heavenly group had this strength.
The emperor can indeed be unreasonable, but reality is reality, and if you can't beat him, you can't beat him.
If you force a rabbit to kick a lion to death, any number of rabbits will deserve to die.
Similarly, Ying Zheng cannot and will not do such a stupid thing of forcing the mantis to act as a chariot.
Zhao Gao cursed in his heart when he heard this, but it was impossible to forcefully put the blame on Zhang Han in advance.
Now, he can only take action first. As for how to divide the pot in the end, he can wait until all the dust settles before slowly dividing the pot.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao stopped talking nonsense, turned his head and winked at Liu Jiannu and others, motioning for them to take action, and at the same time warned:
"Seize the target!"
This sentence is very conservative.
Strictly speaking, the only person in Gai Nie's group who could be called a 'target' was Tian Ming, who was named by Ying Zheng.
Zhao Gao emphasized this naturally because he had no hope of catching anyone else, and it would be good if he could leave a comatose Tianming behind.
Facing the Six Sword Slaves and others who were besieging them, Gai Nie and others looked at each other and did not choose to escape directly. Instead, they formed a circle on the spot, protecting Tianming Shaoyu and continuing to entangle with the enemy.
Regarding this, Chen He and Tian Heng, the two 'outsiders' who had intervened in the process, were somewhat confused, but after all, they were advancing and retreating together, so they continued to stay.
Anyway, the Imperial Army has already surrounded us. It will be about the same difficulty if we leave earlier than if we leave later.
Zhang Han looked at Gai Nie and his party who were "refractory" and had many doubts in his mind. However, he could not guess the answer out of thin air for a while. He could only press the button for the time being and lead the secret guards to the carriage where Ying Zheng was hiding.
Protect him, and then salute Ying Zheng through the window and accuse him:
"The general arrived too late to save me and allowed the rebellious traitor to disturb the Emperor's Holy Emperor. He deserves to be punished with death!"
"Do what you have to do first."
Ying Zheng's incomprehensible voice came from the carriage. He did not clear up Zhang Han's guilt as soon as he got up, but he also did not directly let him off the hook.
Just like how he dealt with Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng once again chose to postpone the discussion until later.
Zhang Han was not surprised by this, he bowed his head respectfully and said, "I will obey your orders."
Then he stood aside and said hello to the ceremony with his eyes.
Although Zhang Han has a lot of worries about the sudden appearance of the ceremony, he still has to maintain harmony on the surface - in the workplace, no matter how bad the relationship is, it still seems to be harmonious, not to mention that everything is still unclear, and it is not time to break up.
time.
Dianqing also nodded in greeting and said nothing. He just looked at the melee battlefield with a slightly worried look through the gauze.
He also had doubts about the abnormal behavior of Gai Nie and others, but he had no clue.
………………
On the other side, outside Xixiang Valley Road.
Another Mohist disciple came to see Master Ban. He looked flustered and anxious and ran over in a hurry.
"Class...Class Commander..." This disciple was a little incoherent due to panic, and reported in a hurry, "Qinglong...Qinglong has something strange!"
"What!?" Seeing this disciple coming to him in a panic, Master Ban was already prepared, but he was still shocked when he heard the news, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Qinglong is about to be activated. If something goes wrong at this time, not only those of them present may suffer serious consequences, but the most critical plan to assassinate Qin will also fail.
Without any nonsense, Master Ban turned around and walked quickly towards the dark and gloomy mountain forest behind him.
He did not try to ask what was wrong with Qinglong from the disciple who reported the news, because no one could say for sure what would happen to Qinglong, even he, the number one organ master of the Mo family at the time, was no exception.
He had to see everything with his own eyes.
………………
Not long ago, outside the port of Songhai City, dozens of miles away, above the mirage.
After the Moon God left for a period of time, Concubine Yan entered the Toad Palace and took her place where the Moon God usually sat.
In front of her was the bronze mirror that Luna often faced.
Concubine Yan didn't waste any time. As soon as she sat down, she started to raise her hands to form seals. The golden qi emerged from her palms and blended into the bronze mirror little by little.
As the true energy poured in, a mist-like halo appeared on the bronze mirror, and then the halo slowly dissipated, revealing the girl in the core room of the Toad Palace.
Concubine Yan moved her hands and fingers continuously, drawing a series of afterimages in the air. As her handprints formed, the scene in the mirror suddenly changed. The girl was no longer there, but turned into the scene on the table in front of the girl.
.
It seemed like it had switched to the girl's perspective.
In the room on the other side, the girl has also raised her hands and started to form seals. It seems that her movements are exactly the same as Concubine Yan.
At the same time, in the room where Concubine Yan and her daughter were hiding, Qiantaki, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, also began to repeat the exact same actions.
As the three of them began to form seals at the same time, an increasingly dazzling and brilliant light began to appear on their bodies, and at the same time, the stargazing instruments on the Toad Palace began to operate spontaneously.
Corresponding to these actions are the stars in the sky - they seem to have not changed much.
However, in the eyes of knowledgeable people, there has been a sudden drastic change in the horoscope. The seven stars in the East representing Qinglong, one of the four spirits in the sky - Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail and Ji all suddenly became brighter.
.
This is completely abnormal.
In Songhai City, Duke Nan of Chu stayed awake most of the night and was walking around the streets. At this moment, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky with his eyes that were covered tightly by his eyebrows.
After a while, Chu Nanggong lowered his head and couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly and sighed, "It's really lively tonight... Songhai is really not a suitable place to live for an old man like me."
On the mirage ship, the star soul in the Zibei Water Pavilion looked around with confusion, feeling that he seemed to have missed something.
But thinking of the woman in Sakura Prison, he quickly shook off these distracting thoughts and hurried towards the depths of the water pavilion.
In the darkness, the Moon God watched the Star Soul through the gauze as it entered the Zibei Water Pavilion, and then left quietly. After going out, he couldn't help but take a look at the starry sky, and then hurriedly walked towards the Toad Palace.
Looking back to the Toad Palace, as Concubine Yan continued to form seals, a bright golden light gradually filled the entire room, and in the mirror, the Phantom Music Box on the table in front of the girl had already begun to rotate and play music.
These scenes actually don't look much different from usual.
The only thing that was completely different from the past scene was another thing on the table - the square rimmed copper box that had always been placed next to the Phantom Sound Treasure Box.
In the past, no matter what the girl, Qian Taki, or Concubine Yan and the Moon God did, the only ones who received responses and were manipulated were the Phantom Sound Treasure Box. The copper box seemed to be untouched by anything, and even the always dazzling golden light avoided it.
The box makes it usually inconspicuous, but sometimes it is extremely eye-catching.
