Chapter 580: The Qin Ambush!
The next day, Qin Mu had slept through the night on the canyon ridge without realizing it. Fortunately, Zhao Yun had gone back to have his own legion prepare.
Wei Zhuang had stood guard for the entire night; naturally, Zhao Yun hadn't slept either.
Early in the morning, Qin Mu saw the dark circles under Wei Zhuang and Zhao Yun's eyes and said with great heartache:
"You two, really—why didn't you wake me?"
Facing Qin Mu's questioning, Zhao Yun knelt on one knee and said:
"This subordinate dared not! The Lord works so hard every day, and I do not know what else I can do, so I could only ensure no one disturbed the Lord while he rested!"
Just as they were speaking, the anti-Qin patriots arrived!
The arrivals were the current head of the Mohists, that old man, and Gao Gao Jianli!
Upon seeing the three of them, the Master frowned, wondering if their operation had been discovered.
Qin Mu smiled directly and said, "The scenery up here is quite nice today. I wonder if you old folks are also here to watch the sunrise?"
Facing the smiling Qin Mu, the Master was unsure what to make of them. Were they ordinary people, or...?
At this moment, Gao Gao Jianli, who was behind him, whispered softly in the Master's ear:
"Master, they have weapons, especially the one holding the sword; he puts a lot of pressure on me."
After Gao Gao Jianli spoke, the Master, whose eyes were a bit dim with age, suddenly noticed the sword at Wei Zhuang's waist!
"Young man, lying isn't good. If you're here to watch the sunrise, why would that man have a sword at his waist?"
The Master smiled as he spoke, placing his right hand behind his back. No one knew what weapon he might pull out in the next second.
For the Mohists, setting up various mechanisms was their specialty, but when it came to hidden weapons, they were likely second only to the Tang Sect!
In fact, the Tang Sect had originally learned about hidden weapons from them before slowly carrying them forward!
Qin Mu smiled; he wasn't worried at all that the other party would suddenly resort to violence. After all, the Qin Army had already begun their march.
If they were to fight now, they would be discovered 100%.
By then, none of these people would have good identities!
"I say, old man, didn't you also bring a few servants?" Qin Mu said with great composure.
Zhao Yun didn't feel the slightest bit of impropriety regarding Qin Mu calling him a servant.
Even Wei Zhuang didn't feel uncomfortable. He knew that while he might be very powerful, the person he chose to follow was countless times more powerful than himself!
His own kung fu was very good, but not to mention that Zhao Yun could suppress him in a fight—though he would only be defeated in a short time.
But that Lu Bu, who was far away in Xianyang and acted Wu Li Ke a thief every day—that guy was a freak; he could subdue him in ten rounds!
As for other aspects, he felt even more inferior. People Wu Li Ke Master Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were all top-tier, brilliant talents.
If even they had submitted to Qin Mu, why wouldn't he?
Seeing the expressions of Wei Zhuang and Zhao Yun, the Master almost believed it, but still asked with some curiosity:
"Oh? An old man Wu Li Ke me indeed needs protection when going out, but you are still so young?"
Before the Master could finish, Qin Mu interrupted directly:
"I'm afraid of being robbed. You know, there might be bandits here; you should be careful too, old man.
The sunrise has been watched, so if you have nothing else, this young man will take his leave." After speaking, Qin Mu walked down the mountain.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Gao Gao Jianli would swing the sword at his waist to block them!
"Stop. It's very dangerous down the mountain now; you'd better stay up here and watch," Gao Gao Jianli said coldly.
At this point, the Master asked in Gao Gao Jianli's ear, "Is this good? What if they aren't spies?"
Gao Gao Jianli instinctively said, "If they aren't spies, we can't let ordinary people leave even more. What if they get caught up in the battlefield?"
"If they are spies, they will definitely be anxious staying here!" Gao Gao Jianli said, looking at Qin Mu with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
This made Qin Mu frown in annoyance. Wei Zhuang instinctively wanted to strike, but was stopped by a gesture from Qin Mu.
"What if I say no?" Qin Mu's tone was somewhat mocking, which made the Master frown.
"Surround them!" Following the Master's order, countless people in black holding long swords appeared all around, surrounding Qin Mu and his group.
"Young man, keep your cool. The sunrise has been watched, but there is still a good show to see!"
This time, Wei Zhuang drew his sword directly, and this time, Qin Mu did not stop him.
However, looking at the number of people, perhaps they could kill their way out, but it would probably be very difficult; only Wei Zhuang among them carried a weapon.
Especially since the anti-Qin righteous men are probably all up there; using the lineup that assassinated the First Emperor of Qin to assassinate the three of them should be very easy, right?
Thinking of this, Qin Mu finally waved his hand, signaling Wei Zhuang to put away his weapon.
"Good, since that's the case, then let's follow the old man's words and watch a good show from above!"
Qin Mu sat on the ground, and the tense atmosphere suddenly calmed down...
The sun gradually became hot, and the inspection troops of Great Qin finally arrived in the canyon!
At this time, not to mention Zhang Liang, even Qin Mu felt a trace of something wrong.
They were late, late by about half an hour!
A lot can be done in half an hour!
However, even if Zhang Liang reacted, there was no time left for him to make more preparations.
With a rumbling sound, the inspection team was trapped in the valley, and countless archers appeared above the canyon.
For a time, ten thousand arrows were fired at once!
It made Qin Mu feel a chill down his back; fortunately, he hadn't been impulsive, otherwise, it would probably have been the three of them facing these ten thousand arrows!
Soon, Qin Mu discovered something wrong!
There was too little blood in the canyon!
By logic, the inspection team should have had at least a few hundred people, if not a thousand, but the red area in the canyon was too small.
It was as if the blood of a few dozen people was barely enough!
And for those extra people, there was only one possibility, combined with the letter sent from Xianyang.
These anti-Qin righteous men, along with the three of them, had probably already been surrounded!
"Old man, you've really harmed me this time!" Qin Mu said with some resentment, which left the master confused.
"What do you mean?"
The master had just asked when he heard the sound of killing from behind, and only then did he realize what was happening!
"Quick, prepare to break out!" The master shouted hurriedly, and then, without caring about Qin Mu, ran directly outside.
Qin Mu frowned 5.0, not expecting this person not to take him along?
Truly cold, even Gao Gao Jianli didn't even look at him.
Qin Mu got up and patted the dust off his body, wondering where Zhang Liang would be at this time?
For this trip, as long as he could trick Zhang Liang into going to Bashu, it would already be a profit.
However, just as Qin Mu got up and hadn't moved yet, the master brought Gao Gao Jianli back!
"Speak, are you a spy for the Qin dogs!" The master questioned angrily.
Apparently, they couldn't escape, so they thought Qin Mu was a spy trying to drag them down!
Even though he respected the old man, Qin Mu was a bit unhappy; this person clearly made him a bit angry.
Right now, the anti-Qin righteous men and the Great Qin soldiers were fighting, and no one cared about this side, otherwise the master wouldn't have run back.
"Wei Zhuang, prepare to act!"
