Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"Master, only by going to Songhai City can your disease be cured. There are the most masters in the world there, even great masters. There, others may be able to do what the master cannot do." Duan Murong insisted. .

Today's Songhai City has gathered a large number of disciples from hundreds of schools. Because of Yang Ming's existence, even though the Jixia Academy in Linzi has been banned, the academy in Songhai City still exists, so there are a large number of disciples from hundreds of schools. The disciples study there, and correspondingly, there are also a large number of masters from hundreds of schools gathered there. Nianduan can't do anything about his illness, but others may, and, really, he can't...

"Doctors can only cure diseases, not save lives." Nianduan said. She didn't want to go to Songhai City. Of course, she didn't hate Songhai City, she just didn't want her disciple Duan Murong to go to Songhai City. The people there There are too many and everyone is there. For Duan Murong, a woman who has never really been exposed to the world of martial arts although she has already grown up, Songhai City is not a good place. Anyway, she is already quite old. Naturally, he didn't want Duan Murong to encounter unknown accidents because of him.

"We went to Songhai City to find someone who could save lives." Duan Murong insisted.

"Rong'er, I just want you to carry Jinghu with you forever and live a peaceful life." Nianduan persuaded. As my disciple has grown up, he is no longer as obedient as he was when he was a child.

"We won't be in danger in Songhai City. There are people there who can protect us." Seeing that he had been slow to persuade his master, Duan Murong was so anxious that he revealed the reason deepest in his heart.

"Rong'er, what did you say?" Nianduan couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed that there was something she didn't know. At this time, she couldn't help but think of her disciple who seemed to have something on his mind after he went out last time. She only thought that her disciple's worries were caused by her illness, but now it seems that although she is one of the reasons, it is not the whole reason.

"Master, I said there will be people to protect us when we get to Songhai City. We won't be in any danger there." Duan Murong saw that she had been exposed, so she simply stopped hiding anything and said directly.

"Whose invitation did you accept? Songhai City, Songhai City, is it the palace?" Nianduan was shocked when he asked. In the entire Songhai City, if anyone can protect a person, he will not encounter anyone. There is probably only one dangerous place, but that place is very dangerous, especially for their medical disciples.

Over the years, many medical disciples have ended up in ruins because of their involvement in power.

Medical disciples can certainly get rich rewards if they cure diseases around those powerful people, but what if they cannot be cured? If the people you meet at that time are still open-minded, you may not pursue them for anything, but if you meet someone who is unreasonable, you will get angry at them and encounter misfortune.

Therefore, it was too late for them to hide from those powerful people, so how could they take the initiative to get together? Songhai City was the most valuable place in the entire Qin Kingdom besides Xianyang Palace, and it was even more difficult for Nian Duan to avoid it. existed, but now Duan Murong wanted to take the initiative to get closer. For a moment, the frightened Nianduan felt that his energy and spirit were a little excited due to excitement.

"Master, the East King invited us to Songhai City, where we are likely to find someone who can cure Master. Moreover, the East King himself is the most powerful grandmaster in the world, with all kinds of miraculous powers. He can also use the means..." Duan Murong said.

"That King of the East started his career with military exploits, dominated the world, and overwhelmed hundreds of schools of thought. What kind of person he is, Ronger, how do you know!" Nian Duan said.

Yang Ming is very famous, and his influence among hundreds of schools of thought is extraordinary. He also has many labels on him, but no matter what kind of person Yang Ming is, Nianduan cannot simply describe Yang Ming as a person. The Eastern King of the Qin Dynasty is regarded as a good person. He stepped on the bones of many people to reach his current position. To classify him as a good person is simply disrespectful to him.

"I know what kind of person he is." Faced with Master's doubts, Duan Murong said something that Nian Duan had never thought of.

"You know?" Nian Duan was stunned.

"I met him more than ten years ago." Duan Murong recalled.

"Where? It shouldn't be happening." Nian Duan didn't believe it. Duan Murong had been with her since she was a child. How could she not know who Duan Murong knew? Yang had never appeared in their lives. With Ming's figure, how could Duan Murong have an intersection with Yang Ming?

"In the Zhao Kingdom that year, that was the year when the prince of the Yan Kingdom escaped from the Qin Kingdom and returned to the Yan Kingdom, and the Mohist giant Six Finger Black Man was killed by the Eastern King on the border of Yan and Zhao." Duan Murong said.

"It was that year, yes, the only time you could have crossed paths was that year." Nianduan's thoughts were brought back to the long past by Duan Murong's words. Many things happened in that year. , but the biggest thing was the chase that took place in Zhao Di.

During that time, Nian Duan and Duan Murong happened to be in Zhao. However, how did the two unrelated people get in touch? What kind of story was there between the two? Nian Duan looked at it in thought. Duan Murong, as a master, had never thought that her disciple had such deep thoughts. If it hadn't been for today, she would have known nothing about it.

But today Ronger made up her mind to tell me this matter. Is it because of my condition, or does she just want to go to Songhai City? Nianduan hesitated, but she immediately gave up her doubts. She should not have had such doubts.

Some time has passed since Ronger got the invitation. If she had that intention, she would never wait until now. Thinking of this, Nian Duan couldn't help but feel guilty. She missed her disciple so much.

However, Ronger really... Thinking that her disciple has been with her since she was a child, has little experience in the world, and knows nothing except medical skills, she should not be deceived.

For a moment, Nian Duan suddenly changed from the slow thinking caused by the weakness after her life, and her mind quickly became active. Various questions came one after another, echoing in her mind, and actually weakened her body's death energy a few times. point.

"What is there that I don't know?" Nian Duan stopped her random thoughts and asked. These are the most important things now. As for her own wild guesses, they have no value.

Under Nian Duan's questioning, a story that had passed for a long time emerged in front of Nian Duan's eyes as Duan Murong told it. A story about saving people, a story about morality about an inexperienced girl who was almost framed by a villain. But to Nian Duan's ears, it was still a story about a hero saving a beauty.

Watching Duan Murong slowly narrate, Nian Duan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Perhaps even Duan Murong himself didn't realize that there was something wrong with him, but what happened after such a long time can still be so vividly told by Duan Murong. , not even a single detail has been missed. Doesn’t this in itself explain the problem?

"I know what you mean, Master. The kind of person he is and the things he has experienced determine that he cannot be a purely good person, but people who respect life will never be so bad." I was immersed in my own memories and did not notice it. Duan Murong, who had no reaction, still said to herself.

Will a person who can help the weak really be the kind of bad guy that Master calls him? Duan Murong didn't believe it. For Duan Murong, Yang Ming not only helped her, but also saved a life. In the end, Yang Ming's action told her that she was There is nothing wrong with her choice. This is the belief that has existed in her heart since she started studying medicine as a child.

"People like them can no longer be described in terms of good or bad. The morality of the world cannot restrain them. In their eyes, there are often only pros and cons, not good or bad." Nianduan's mind was also touched, but on his lips It is safest for doctors to still stick to their own opinions and stay away from those powerful people. .

"Master, what you said makes sense, but it doesn't convince me when applied to this matter, and..." Duan Murong said with a sly smile.

"And what?" Hearing this, Nian Duan couldn't help being shocked. Duan Murong's smile was so cunning, as if she had already figured it out.

"Master doesn't want to go to Songhai City because he is afraid that I will get involved in trouble and cause danger. I know Master's good intentions." Duan Murong said.

"You still know." Nian Duan felt a little relieved when he heard this. Maybe it was wrong to be nervous just now.

"But Master, I don't want to leave you, Master. If you don't go to Songhai City, it will be difficult for you to survive until the second year based on your physical condition. By then, no one will be able to control me. If I wait until If I go to Songhai City after my master passes away, who else can stop me?" Duan Murong said with a smile.

That shallow smile even seemed a little evil to Nian Duan.

Where has my simple and kind-hearted Ronger gone? This was Nianduan's only thought at this time.

"Master, if you want to protect me, you have to live well. Master, you can only live well if you go to Songhai City." Duan Murong continued.

Suddenly a dilemma appeared in front of Nian Duan. If she stopped Duan Murong from going to Songhai City, she would be gone by this time next year. By then, she would no longer be able to stop Duan Murong. Duan Murong would still go to Songhai City. City, by then, everything she is doing now will be meaningless.

The most fundamental purpose of everything Nian Duan did was to protect Duan Murong from harm. If she wanted to continue to protect Duan Murong, she could only stay alive, and her only chance of survival was in Songhai City.

Ronger, when did she become so cunning? Is this an idea she can think of?

"It seems that I have no choice now?" Nian Duan said with a bitter smile.

"Master, I just want you to live. Only in this way can you continue to protect me." Knowing that her goal has been achieved, Duan Murong quickly hugged her master's arm and said coquettishly.

"I can go, but before that you must tell me, who taught you those words just now?" Nian Duan said deceitfully.

"Master?" Duan Murong was shocked when she heard this. She didn't know if she had exposed anything, but under Nianduan's sight, the habit she had formed over the years made her tell the truth: "It's Sang The master of Haicheng.”

"As expected." Nian Duan sighed, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

A pair of ordinary masters and apprentices quietly left the medical village where they had lived for many years and headed towards Songhai City in the north.

"It only took ten days this time?" The master and apprentice, who had a smooth journey, soon arrived at Linzi, the former capital of Qi. .

Nianduan had walked many times on the road from Jinghu to Zi, so he knew what was going on on the road. However, the trip that originally took half a month was completed in ten days.

"I heard that the emperor was building Chidao everywhere in the empire, which naturally saved a lot of time. It's just that there were too many and too urgent orders from Xianyang, but it wasn't very good." Duan Murong said.

The empire has carried out large-scale construction projects in recent years, which is certainly necessary, but its excessive pursuit of speed has led to various problems. When he was in Jing Lake, Duan Murong, who often treated nearby people, was also aware of this.

"How can the emperor consider this? All they care about is their own achievements." Nian Duan said, but his eyes could not help but be attracted by a terrifying carriage in front of him.

I saw that the carriage had nearly a hundred horses in front and behind it, dragging a carriage that occupied the entire road surface that could accommodate ten carriages running in parallel. It was difficult to count the wheels in between.

Under the huge felt cloth, there is an indescribable behemoth hidden.

"What's going on?" Nian Duan murmured to himself. She hadn't gone out in just a few years. Has the world turned into this?

"I heard that it was shipped from Xianyang and was going to be transported to Songhai City. Judging from the posture, it should be weapons and metals." Amid the doubts of the master and the disciple, the well-informed coachman responded.

"A lot of weapons were transported to Songhai City?" Duan Murong also asked curiously.

"There are many. His Majesty the Emperor ordered to collect the soldiers from all over the world. These weapons were sent to Songhai City. It seems that His Highness the East King wants to forge a weapon. I don't know what kind of weapon it is, but so many of it are used. There are no less than 500,000 weapons that have been moved to Songhai City, and they are piled together like a mountain." The coachman murmured in wonder.

"Forging weapons? I heard that the Dongwang sword uses the Tianwen sword and the halberd uses the Canglong Wentian halberd. They are both top-notch weapons in the world. He still needs to forge weapons?" Duan Murong asked in confusion.

"Then who knows? Who can guess the thoughts of His Highness Dong Wang? He is a being like a heavenly being." The coachman said, after all, fragments of words about the Taishan incident were spread, and after word of mouth, more and more More legends have evolved.

So why did Yang Ming use the power of the empire to collect so many weapons?

"The purpose of gathering all the soldiers in the world is, of course, to forge dragon-slaying weapons." In Songhai City, Yang Ming said to the people around him as he looked at the mountains of weapons gathering in front of him.
