Chapter 603

"I do!" Jing Jing Tianming nodded and agreed without even thinking.

In the following days, besides recuperating, Ge Nie taught Jing Jing Tianming swordsmanship, and in just these few days, Jing Jing Tianming's swordsmanship had made great progress.

However, what they didn't know was that in this stronghold, some people were secret agents planted by Great Qin!

The secret agents passed the news to Zhao Gao, who was far away in Xianyang; Zhao Gao then made the decision not to spread the news first.

Instead, he directly sent his own exclusive Great Qin assassins to assassinate them!

Because if the news spread, I'm afraid that with the eyes and ears of Ji Bu of the Nong family, they would know immediately; if they let Ge Nie and that little slippery head run away.

I'm afraid His Majesty would be furious; it's better to be a bit smarter during this period.

Zhao Gao hid in a dark corner and laughed to himself, as if everything was under his control.

On the other side, Qin Mu looked at the thriving Bashu; the selection of talent had already been done.

The management of the middle and lower levels all came from Bashu residents; he was a bit worried that these people would slowly form factions.

You must know that aristocratic clans were formed bit by bit from small officials, slowly weaving into a solid big net.

Fortunately, Qin Mu had the knowledge and experience of later generations, and each position was set with two positions, a primary and a secondary, to play a role of mutual supervision.

But they were all Bashu people; over time, they would inevitably unite to commit corruption.

Therefore, recruiting talented people from the outside was also imminent!

"Zhang Liang, go to the land of the old Chu and hold an exchange banquet; Bashu's development needs them!"

Several more days passed, and Ge Nie's wounds gradually healed, but it would probably take quite a while to fully recover.

However, one night, Ge Nie felt something was wrong!

The surroundings were simply too quiet; when he went out, he was shocked to find that everyone had fainted on the ground!

There was poison in the air!

This was his first reaction; he flew to Jing Jing Tianming's room, carried the sleeping Jing Jing Tianming on his back, and ran.

However, Jing Jing Tianming showed no signs of waking up; clearly, Jing Jing Tianming had also been poisoned!

Immediately after, countless men in black appeared around Ge Nie, surrounding him tightly.

Ge Nie, whose injuries hadn't fully recovered, was forced to fight again; this time the opponents clearly weren't as good as Su Mu, but their strength wasn't too weak either.

Plus, with nearly a hundred of them, even Ge Nie couldn't help but feel a trace of despair.

Half an hour later, there were still more than thirty black-clad assassins on the field, and blood was constantly dripping from Ge Nie's hands.

Just when he thought he was going to die here, a voice that surprised him very much appeared.

"Senior brother, is this all the ability you have?"

It was Wei Zhuang!

He didn't know why Wei Zhuang would appear here, which surprised Ge Nie very much.

"These trash aren't worthy of taking my senior brother's life! Kill them!" Wei Zhuang didn't act; he just said "kill them."

Afterward, experts appeared one after another around them; although they weren't top experts, without exception, they were all people with some fame in the Jianghu!

Wu Li Ke the "Miracle Hand" Sun Zhe, it is said that his hands were very fast, and the dagger in his hand was flawless; he was known as an invincible existence in one-on-one fights.

And there was a man carrying a huge battle axe on his back, said to be the strongest executioner of the former Great Wei!

And so on; the appearance of these people directly turned the tide of the battle; those black-clad assassins couldn't even run away and were killed.

"Senior brother, do you want to come with me to Bashu to rely on the lord?" Wei Zhuang asked with a smile.

He had no resentment or anything toward his senior brother; he simply wanted to prove that he was stronger than him.

And Ge Nie had no dissatisfaction with Wei Zhuang; he also knew what Wei Zhuang was thinking, but he had his own reasons and couldn't lose to Wei Zhuang.

Otherwise, Ge Nie wouldn't have gone to train himself.

"No, you take this child there; his talent is very good; when the time is ripe, I will naturally go to Bashu to find you."

Ge Nie refused without even thinking; he walked toward the outside.

"Hey, this is what the lord asked me to give you." Wei Zhuang looked at Ge Nie, who was walking away, and threw a long sword over.

It was a long sword made of refined steel!

Ge Nie turned around and caught it; he slowly drew the long sword, and the appreciation and longing in his eyes revealed the extraordinary nature of this sword.

"Good sword, are you really giving it to me?"

"Hahahaha, yes, my lord said this sword is called Yuanhong; only this sword is worthy of you." Wei Zhuang had no envy in his eyes.

This made Ge Nie a bit confused; shouldn't a senior swordsman Wu Li Ke precious swords?

Why was Wei Zhuang not moved at all when facing such a precious sword; could it be that he...?

"Senior brother, don't look at me Wu Li Ke that; I also have a sword Wu Li Ke this, named Shark Tooth!" Wei Zhuang seemed to see through Ge Nie's confusion, and as he said this, he drew his own sword.

A long sword full of sawteeth looked extremely strange, but it was loved by Wei Zhuang, and it was also cast from refined steel!

That's right, Yuanhong and Shark Tooth were cast by the swordsmith according to Qin Mu's request based on the images in the animation he remembered.

"Thank you, junior brother, let's part ways here!" After Ge Nie finished speaking, he left without looking back; handing Jing Jing Tianming to them, he would also feel much more at ease.

Ge Nie came to the mountains and forests; he found a spot, dug a hole, and then buried the long sword that had accompanied him for more than twenty years.

This sword was already covered in scars; it wasn't a precious sword to begin with, but Ge Nie cherished it very much, so it didn't break down.

"I want to see Uncle, where is Uncle!" In a room at the inn, Jing Jing Tianming said to Wei Zhuang with dissatisfaction.

He didn't understand why the other party wanted to lock him up and why they wouldn't let him see Uncle.

"I said, your Uncle entrusted you to us; in a few days, after we find the master thief Li Si, we will take you back to Bashu." Wei Zhuang's tone was full of helplessness.

If it were before, this kind of naughty brat would probably have been killed by his sword long ago; now, under Qin Mu's influence, his temper had improved quite a bit.

And under Zhao Yun's influence, he was even less aloof than before, and not as sparing with words.

"I don't want to go to Bashu, I want to find Uncle!" Jing Jing Tianming said very unhappily, which made Wei Zhuang's patience reach its limit.

If this child hadn't been entrusted by his senior brother, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold back from acting long ago.

Since taking in Jing Jing Tianming, Wei Zhuang had been Wu Li Ke a nanny, but his patience was limited!

Wei Zhuang exuded a dangerous aura, which made Jing Jing Tianming instantly obedient.

He felt it; if he continued to make trouble unreasonably, he would probably be killed by this person in the next second!

Yingdu, known as the capital of the Chu State, had now been occupied by Great Qin.

Qin Mu didn't trust Zhang Liang, so he brought Zhao Yun and Master Zhuge Liang along to Yingdu.

Bashu had Yu Ji presiding over the overall situation, assisted by Guo Jia and others, and in terms of the army, there was also Han Xin.

So he didn't have to worry about these problems at all; on the contrary, he was worried that Zhang Liang's side wouldn't go smoothly.

What he worried about most was that Zhang Liang and the others would be caught!

You must know that they received news that Meng Tian was here with three hundred thousand troops to wipe out the Xiang clan!

Plus the burning of books and burying of scholars, Qin Mu was afraid that Zhang Liang would hold a banquet and accidentally leak the news and get caught.

At the same time, he was also worried that the current Zhang Liang wouldn't be able to out-argue others, so he brought Master Zhuge Liang, who was good at debating with scholars.

Qin Mu walked on the streets of Yingdu, looking at all kinds of people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Bashu was still better.

At least in Bashu now, no one would freeze to death, but in this Yingdu, there were actually homeless people frozen to death on the side of the road!

Facing this situation, I'm afraid someone would soon take the lead in opposing Qin.

"Sigh, the vermilion gates smell of dog meat, while on the road there are frozen bones." Qin Mu's words sounded somewhat helpless.

And a stream of light flashed in the eyes of Master Zhuge Liang behind him; good poem, good sentence.

"The lord's description is extremely appropriate; it is truly wonderful."

"Sigh, Master Zhuge Liang, do you know what my purpose is in letting Zhang Liang come here?"

"Forgive this subordinate for being dull, I don't know." Master Zhuge Liang only knew that Qin Mu let Zhang Liang come here to seek talent.

But since it was said by his lord, there must be a deeper meaning, but he couldn't guess it.

"Because I'm afraid that we in Bashu will also have such frozen bones." Qin Mu said somewhat melancholically; now many things were almost popularized.

Bashu people could basically read and write, white paper was also popularized, and now they were just missing a newspaper to control the public opinion of the entire Bashu.

This kind of thing must be firmly controlled in his own hands, but now they were simply too lacking in talent.
