ghost city

Chapter 23

After the Mo family escaped a catastrophe in Sanghai City, their whereabouts are still uncertain.Although the empire did not give up the roundup, it seemed powerless.In the north, the Xiongnu repeatedly infested, in the south Baiyue frequently caused rebellion, and the old forces in Qichu and other places were also ready to move.The forces of the Empire were divided into various parts.The star soul of the national teacher was severely injured by Gai Nie, and Yun Zhongjun had gone to the East China Sea.This just gave the Mo family a chance to breathe.

The news of Ying Zheng's upcoming tour to the east still leaked out, and heroes from all walks of life were moved after hearing the news, and inquired about the route of Ying Zheng's east tour, as if they had some big plans.

"I heard that the Mo family has come to Sanchuan County?" Wei Ling asked suddenly when he returned to the inn at night.

"Well," Azi nodded casually, "It's no secret that Yingzheng's east tour is now, but the exact route of the tour is still unknown."

"Xiaoyou." Wei Ling's voice suddenly became low and cold.

"Huh?" The girl was still indifferent, she glanced up, but met those cold eyes again.

"Have you been in touch with the Mo family?" Wei Ling asked coldly. He sat down opposite the girl, his eyes locked on her face.

Wei Ling has been thinking about the reason why she stayed in the empire.She hates her identity so much, but still works for Yingzheng, there must be some unknown secret.If he hadn't killed her by himself, she should be a Mohist disciple now.

Seeing that look, the girl was a little displeased, she glanced at him, and then stopped looking at him, just leaned on the table, fiddling with the lantern intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yes, but that was a year ago." She replied almost jokingly, "So what? What does it have to do with you?"

The two sat opposite each other across the table, with an oil lamp in the middle.The fire was not bright, but the smell of tar still made Wei Ling frowned.

"Are you working for the empire, is it also related to the Mohism?" He asked in a deep voice, although his tone was gentle, but there was a faint magic power of bewitching.

The girl's hand holding the lantern trembled unconsciously, a look of astonishment flashed across her face, and then she returned to her usual indifference. Her eyes no longer avoided, but looked straight at Wei Ling.

"You guessed it right. But why do you care so much about the Mohist family?" Her tone was sharp, with faint hostility and dissatisfaction.

"Multiple helpers, isn't it better?" Wei Ling stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dark night sky, "You know better than me what those people want to do."

"Hehe, Wei Ling," the girl suddenly chuckled twice, "You can always guess what I'm thinking. I'm just about to go to Mo's house. I haven't seen those old friends for more than a year."

************************

The moon is very round, and the bright light flows down like water, like a layer of tulle covering the whole city.The girl stood quietly on the cornice, her green dress was blown by the night wind, like a bamboo leaf fluttering in the wind.

"Flick the edge." The mechanism bird held the half of the moon in its mouth, and flew into the night sky with its wings.

"I haven't seen Xiao Gao since his death. Now that I'm in Sanchuan County, let me find you." The girl said to herself.

When the black spot was about to disappear into the sky, the young girl's figure moved forward, like a streamer of light, chasing the black spot and disappearing into the night sky.

"In my opinion, setting up an ambush in Bolangsha is the most appropriate." The man's voice was low and slow, as leisurely as white clouds in the sky.

"Ovary, why did you choose Bolangsha?" A slightly old voice couldn't help asking.

"Master Ban," the man smiled, his face even more gentle and distant, he stroked the cloud pattern on his cuffs, and said lightly, "Bolangsha is located on the road leading from Xianyang to the east, and I expect Yingzheng to pass through here. Bolangsha is connected to the remaining mountains of Mang Mountain. The sand dunes are stretched into stretches, and the sand dunes are full of thorns, and there are no weeds. The low-lying areas are swamps and reeds. It is not only suitable for hiding, but also conducive to escape. And here The sand dunes are endless, and the army is advancing slowly, so it is not easy for the Qin army to hunt us down."

"Hey, Third Master," a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy interrupted angrily, "Why are you thinking of running away before you start?" He scratched his head and smiled, his expression was both defiant and rascal.

Hearing this, everyone choked, Master Ban coughed in a very appropriate manner, Xue Nu and Big Hammer shook their heads helplessly.

"Tianming." Ge Nie also called helplessly, but his face was still expressionless.

The boy was still smirking, for a moment, he suppressed his smile, still scratched his head, and looked at everyone suspiciously, not knowing why.

"Tianming," Zhang Liang looked at him, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, "this operation is very dangerous, we naturally have to be prepared to retreat. It is the behavior of a reckless person to act rashly without thinking about it. The way of a gentleman."

The young man was full of doubts, first nodded, then shook his head, and then simply slipped aside, continuing to ponder those few words.

"Brother Iron Hammer, this matter depends on you." Zhang Liang shifted his gaze to Big Iron Hammer and said seriously.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang Liang is too modest." The rough big hand of the big hammer scratched his bald head unconsciously, his face was a little embarrassed, "It is my honor to contribute to everyone."

"Hey," the young man interjected again, "Third Master, when did your eyesight get so bad? It's too easy to expose the target if you let the big hammer do the assassination. Don't say you choose me, just choose Xiao Zhi. He is also better than him." He didn't know when he jumped into the crowd again.

"Crack." The class master's hand fell heavily on the young man's head, "Your speech is getting more and more inappropriate, not only that, but you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. Don't interrupt the adult's business. It's a good thing that Xiao Zhi is not here, otherwise, hum snort……"

"Hey, old man Ban, what do you mean by that? Anyway, I'm also a great Mohist..."

"Fuck your Mohist giant..." Another blow was slapped on the head, and Master Ban didn't even look at him this time.

"Hey - hey -" the boy was still struggling dissatisfied, and the big hammer directly blocked his mouth with his fist.

"I chose Brother Iron Hammer to assassinate, I have considerations." Zhang Liang said solemnly, "The Mo family certainly has no shortage of masters, but we are long-distance assassination, and the strike area of ​​the sword technique is too small, even if we can hit the king's chariot, it may not be guaranteed. Stabbed Yingzheng himself. But Brother Iron Hammer's Thunder God Hammer is extremely powerful, if it hits the king's chariot, it will definitely hit Yingzheng severely."

All the leaders nodded slightly, only Tianming was still confused, but no one paid any attention to him.

"By the way, Xiaozhi went out to patrol at night, why hasn't he come back yet?" Xuenv, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"Yeah, why don't you see him?" Everyone echoed.

"Papa!" A strong force suddenly rushed the door open, and everyone followed the sound to look, but saw Robber Zhi holding the door, panting heavily, with a panicked look on his face.

"Xiao Zhi, what's your expression? You seem to have seen a ghost." Big Hammer muttered dissatisfied.

"I... I... I didn't see the devil." He said out of breath, his face turning green.

"Xue Nu, look at this, you recognize it." A thing flew straight towards the crowd.

Looking at the half moon pen lying on the palm of her hand, Xue Nu's face turned pale instantly, and she murmured: "It's her, she's back."

Before everyone could understand, she had already stepped outside the door.
