Chapter 146 Weird, Di Ze Twenty-four, or...
"The Iron Blood Alliance only takes Yan Dan when doing things. Please pass on the message."*4
Gongsun Ce, who originally wanted to see Yan Dan's good show, suddenly turned cold.
He can give Yan Dan to them, but they shouldn't come to ask for it!
This Iron Blood Alliance simply doesn't take him, Gongsun Ce, seriously!
Gongsun Ce said in a cold voice, "You can take the people away, but only if you can leave alive! Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and these twenty-four people will be killed without mercy!"
The cool breeze carried Gongsun Ce's bone-chilling voice out of the tent. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who were sitting on the left and right of the bronze chariot, immediately stood up and rushed towards the twenty-four swordsmen.
"Formation!"
The twenty-four swordsmen of the Iron Blood Alliance immediately formed a formation similar to the Di Ze Twenty-Four. This made Gongsun Ce raise an eyebrow. Di Ze Twenty-Four was known as the unique skills of the farmers. How could it be leaked?
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's skin was blue-gray, covered with dragon scales, hard and cold. They were over two meters tall, with muscular bodies and impressive power.
When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang pounced on the twenty-four swordsmen, the twenty-four swordsmen faintly felt the ground shaking.
Gongsun Ce could sense that the twenty-four swordsmen were a little nervous at the moment. With the sickle weasel, Gongsun Ce could hear some of the swordsmen swallowing their saliva, and some of them unconsciously speeding up their heartbeats...
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were huge in size, but they were extremely fast. Their feet left deep marks on the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.
The twenty-four swordsmen did not dare to be careless at all. They all swung their swords together. Brilliant sword lights intersected in the air and gathered into a giant sword energy, whizzing towards Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
However, when this huge sword energy hit Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, it was like hitting an invisible wall and could not break through Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's defense at all.
Their skin was as hard as iron, and with the amazing defensive power of dragon scales, when the sword energy fell on the two men, it actually followed the script of the two men moving forward and was pushed back to the direction of the twenty-four swordsmen.
Gongsun Ce heard the sound of people gasping for breath. At this time, Gongsun Ce noticed that among the twenty-four swordsmen, the four leaders were at the Grandmaster level, and the remaining twenty swordsmen were at the Half-Step Grandmaster level.
Gongsun Ce suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the personnel ratio. Without conflicting with the Qin forces, this lineup was more than enough to easily take Yan Dan away.
Therefore, the Iron Blood Alliance must have other reasons besides wanting to take Yan Dan away, otherwise there would be no need to send out this lineup.
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but look at Yan Dan. There were traces of true energy on Yan Dan's body, but not traces of Mohist mentality, so Yan Dan did not join the Mohist school, and the Iron Blood Alliance was not taking the Mohist power into consideration.
Moreover, the true energy in Yan Dan's body does not belong to the mental methods of other schools of thought, but should be the mental methods practiced by the royal family of Yan.
Excluding the influence of the various schools of thought, there are only two possibilities left: either there is collateral to be collected nearby, or the other party wants to divert the trouble.
The Iron Blood Alliance can ignore the Kingdom of Han and the Kingdom of Yan.
As for the possibility of Yan State's grand master following Yan Dan, Gongsun Ce felt that it was almost impossible. If nothing unexpected happened, Guo Wei would most likely be the last grand master of Yan State.
Even if there is a grandmaster in Yan State, he should be protecting King Xi of Yan. There is no reason for him to come and protect Yan Dan.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Ce sent a message to Jingwei, "Ask the nearby Luowang Antan to check where these Iron Blood Alliance swordsmen came from and see if anyone nearby has entrusted the Iron Blood Alliance to collect the collateral?"
Jingwei nodded and sent a message to Luowang Antan outside the tent, who then quickly took action.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang quickly rushed into the group of twenty-four swordsmen with sword energy. The sword energy suddenly shattered when it fell in front of the twenty-four swordsmen, but Chen Sheng and Wu Guang did not care about it at all.
"Kill!"*24
The twenty-four swordsmen shouted the word "kill" at the same time. In an instant, the momentum of the twenty-four swordsmen surged, and a surge of murderous intent enveloped Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
However, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who had already turned into deadpools, were not affected by the murderous aura at all and continued to rush forward.
Gongsun Ce looked at the murderous formation and realized that this sword formation was just derived from Di Ze Twenty-Four and had nothing to do with Di Ze Twenty-Four.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang threw a punch together at this time. After this punch, the formation of the twenty-four swordsmen suddenly solidified, and there was a tendency that the formation would be broken.
The four leading swordsmen shouted in unison, "Draw your swords!"
Twenty-four sharp blades were swung together, forming a sword energy again to meet the punches of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
At this time, Gongsun Ce could vaguely see the Tiangang Sword Formation, the Three Talents Fighting Formation... a group of secret formations passed down by various schools of thought in the new formation they formed.
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but wonder, have all the philosophers become sieves? Not a single one of them kept the secret?
"boom!"
The giant sword energy was broken again. Although the twenty-four swordsmen formed a formation similar to the twenty-four in the Earth Lake, they even mixed in the secrets of other schools of thought.
But in front of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, he seemed so vulnerable.
The large formation similar to the Di Ze Twenty-Four was broken up in the next moment. After receiving a punch from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the swordsmen, except for the four leading masters, flew backwards one after another.
Even so, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang would not let them go, because they were now just emotional killing machines under Gongsun Ce.
Their fists were as heavy as hammers, and one punch was enough to break the sword in the swordsman's hand.
And the next punch would be able to smash the swordsman to pieces, literally.
When a fist lands, a ball of blood explodes, and even the dumpling filling is too watery.
Soon, the twenty-four swordsmen were annihilated by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, leaving only a scarlet patch on the ground.
At this time, Jingwei sent a message to Gongsun Ce, saying that the origins of the 24 swordsmen of the alliance had been found out. Gongsun Ce nodded and waved his hand to signal a group of cavalry to drive Yan Dan out, "Drive him out!"
Afterwards, Gongsun Ce and the girls returned to the tent. Gongsun Yan was dancing excitedly in Jingwei's arms. The scene of a river of blood was to her taste.
As the night deepened and the dew got heavier, a group of Luowang secret agents carried five large wooden boxes and quietly entered Gongsun Ce's tent.
"General, the Iron Blood Alliance's base nearby has been destroyed by us. These are the items we found in the base. Please count them."
Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "Go ahead. You won't lose any merit points."
Gongsun Ce and the five women looked at the large wooden box in front of them, which was big enough to hold two Yan Dans, and they felt a little curious.
However, out of caution, Gongsun Ce did not open the wooden box directly with his hands.
Word Spirit: Eyes of the Wind King
The breeze turned into a big hand and opened the five wooden boxes. Gongsun Ce saw something very familiar in the central wooden box, a copper box representing the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon.
Gongsun Ce beckoned, and the bronze box slowly floated into his hand. Because the bronze boxes looked so similar, Gongsun Ce could not tell which country this bronze box belonged to.
Gongsun Ce solemnly put away the copper box, then looked at the items in the five wooden boxes.
The first box contains ornaments such as pearls and agates.
The second box contained precious metals such as red gold and meteorite copper.
The third box contains some precious medicinal herbs.
The fourth box contained bamboo slips and silk. Gongsun Ce picked one up and found that it contained some cultivation techniques and martial arts moves from various schools of thought.
The fifth box contained some contracts, including land deeds, house deeds, personal deeds... but they were soon useless.
Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment. These twenty-four swordsmen should be the strongest fighting force in this stronghold, but what do they want?
These items in the stronghold are obviously classified for commission. The Iron Blood Alliance does not help others recover gambling money for free, but requires commission.
In other words, there is no collateral brought by the new commissioned tasks in the stronghold, so the possibility that these swordsmen will do other tasks or have already done other tasks can be ruled out.
Could it be that the trouble was diverted to the east, the hostage disappeared, and Ying Zheng questioned Yan State to relieve the pressure on the other four countries? How is this possible?
What if a bronze box related to the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars was also delivered?
Gongsun Ce suddenly understood that this possibility was obviously the most likely one.
Therefore, Gongsun Ce became more and more interested in the people behind the Iron Blood Alliance.
Knowing the existence of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon, they were able to easily infiltrate the various schools of thought and steal the secrets. Each of these events was a big deal, which shows that there must be someone behind the Iron Blood Alliance.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Ce looked at Jingwei and said, "Let Luowang send some Antan to investigate the Iron Blood Alliance."
Jingwei nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Then Gongsun Ce handed over five wooden boxes and said, "Take whatever you like. Whatever falls into my hands will naturally be mine."
Yan Lingji and Honglian began to choose jewelry, Zi Nu and Madam Mingzhu were looking at medicinal herbs, and only Jing Wei was gently stroking the precious metals.
Gongsun Ce shrugged and told Jing Wei, "If you want to send it to Luowang to forge a long sword, remember to use Luowang's funds to exchange for metals of equivalent value.
Even if it's a transfer from left hand to right hand, I can't lose. "
Jingwei nodded helplessly, "Okay, whatever you say."
Early the next morning, Gongsun Ce was the first to break camp and return to Xianyang. It was five days later when Gongsun Ce returned to Xianyang.
As soon as Gongsun Ce's bronze chariot approached his Grand Marshal's Mansion, he saw Gai Nie standing at the door.
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Gai Nie. Gai Nie usually followed Ying Zheng and was always with him. Today he finally saw the lonely Gai Nie.
"A rare guest, the Sword Master of Yuci."
Gongsun Ce's voice arrived before he arrived. Gai Nie looked up at the bronze carriage that was slowly approaching him and said calmly, "Tongming, can you walk with me?"
"Okay, it's rare to see you alone, is there anything you want to ask of me?"
Gai Nie nodded in the face of Gongsun Ce's somewhat surprised gaze, "Yes, I have something to ask you, I will talk to you as we walk."
"Wait till I park the carriage."
Gongsun Ce ordered Dian Qing, the former Grand Marshal, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and the Chief of Arms to enter the Taiwei Mansion.
When Gongsun Ce walked out of the Taiwei Mansion, Gai Nie had been waiting there for a quarter of an hour.
Gongsun Ce walked naturally on Gai Nie's right hand side. As they walked, Gai Nie handed Gongsun Ce a piece of silk and said, "Take a look."
