Chapter 508 Parting ways
"Tianming, if you don't know what to do, why not come with me?" Xiang Shaoyu interrupted when he saw the confusion on Jing Tianming's face.
"I don't want to!" Faced with Xiang Shaoyu's proposal, Jing Tianming rejected it without hesitation, "I am a great leader of the Mohist School, how can I be your little brother!"
Xiang Shaoyu complained: "The leader of the Mohist school? Little brother, you might as well count how many people still recognize you as the leader of the Mohist school!"
"What do you care!" Xiang Shaoyu's words hit Jing Tianming's sore spot. As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Tianming jumped up, waved his hands, and pounced on Xiang Shaoyu.
"watch out!"
Xiang Shaoyu was not willing to be outdone and also started to show his fangs and claws.
In an instant, the two friends started to play together, totally ignoring the current situation. When the people in the cave saw this scene, even though they were full of worries, they still felt relieved and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Tianming, stop making trouble."
After a while, seeing that Jing Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu were about to get too aggressive, Fan Zeng and Gai Nie hurriedly separated them.
"Tianming, why don't you go back to the Youjian Inn with Manager Ding." After separating the two little guys, Gai Nie looked intently at Jing Tianming beside him and said earnestly, "Last night, when I went to rescue you, I found that Night Owl's killer had no intention of killing Manager Ding." Halfway through his words, Gai Nie looked at Pao Ding thoughtfully.
"Manager Ding, you once said that Wushuang had dinner at your inn on the first day he entered Linzi City. It seems that Wushuang really likes your cooking skills!"
Cook Ding also discovered this, patted his fat belly, and said carelessly: "Unfortunately, Fatty Ding, I am not interested in being a royal chef. I just want to be my own chef."
Gai Nie heard this and looked at Cook Ding with a touch of admiration: "After last night's battle, the Mohist School was seriously injured. It has transformed from a sect with military power to a school that studies mechanisms and casting. You can return to Youjian Inn now. As long as you are honest and work hard as a cook, Wushuang Jun will not bother you again for the sake of Master Ban and Master Xu, and even Miss Duanmu and Snow Girl."
At this point, Gai Nie's eyes turned and fell on Jing Tianming beside him, "Tianming, that day in the Mo family's mechanical city, Wushuang Jun said very clearly that His Majesty does not want to kill you. So, you might as well go back with Manager Ding and learn all of Manager Ding's skills."
"Yes, Tianming." Although Jing Tianming was a foodie, Pao Ding liked him very much. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "As long as you are willing to go with me, I promise to pass on all my skills to you. If you want to eat delicious food, just cook it yourself."
Jing Tianming fell into unprecedented confusion. Faced with the path arranged for him by Gai Nie and Pao Ding, his handsome face was full of hesitation and struggle, and he remained silent for a long time.
"Uncle, what about you?" After a long silence, Jing Tianming turned his head to look at Gai Nie and asked.
"Me?" Gai Nie hesitated, "I should return to His Majesty!"
"what?"
Knowing that Gai Nie wanted to return to Zheng Ge, the people hiding in the cave all changed color, exclaimed in unison, and their gazes towards Gai Nie became complicated. Among them, Pao Ding and Jing Tianming, who had already despaired of overthrowing the empire, looked at Gai Nie with confusion and worry; on the contrary, Fan Zeng and Xiang Shaoyu, who were still unwilling to give up the idea of restoring the country and taking revenge, looked at Gai Nie with contempt.
"Based on my understanding of His Majesty, he will never kill me after I return to his side." Gai Nie explained, "He needs me to protect his safety and help him solve the Luowang problem." "Solve the Luowang problem?" Fan Zeng, whose hair and beard were white and whose eyes were filled with wisdom, was surprised when he heard this. "Mr. Gai Nie, what do you mean? Isn't the Luowang a deadly weapon of the empire? Why did Ying Zheng take action against the Luowang?"
Gai Nie said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fan Zeng, you also said that Luowang is a weapon of the empire. Since it is a weapon, it is in danger of backlash against its master. As early as more than 20 years ago, Your Majesty realized this after being assassinated by Luowang in Xinzheng. Over the years, Your Majesty, on the one hand, supported the forces headed by Hei Bai Xuan Jian within Luowang to split Luowang; on the other hand, he let the intelligence organization established by Wushuang Jun, Night Owl, do whatever it wanted, allowing Wushuang Jun to use Night Owl to monitor the world, gather intelligence, and perform some special tasks at critical moments."
"Since the unification of the empire, the foundation of the empire has been consolidated over the past few years. Given your majesty's temperament, it is time to deal with the net, a deadly weapon that he can both use and guard against."
"In that case, Mr. Gai Nie, you still have value to Ying Zheng. You don't have to worry about your safety after you return to Ying Zheng." Upon hearing this, Xiang Shaoyu stood up from Fan Zeng's side. Although he said words of praise, the look in his eyes when he looked at Gai Nie did not contain even a trace of praise, but only contempt and disdain.
"Father, let's go." Xiang Shaoyu led the way out. "Even if the tyrannical Qin has a solid foundation and the chances of success in the anti-Qin movement are slim, so what? As long as I am alive, I must avenge my grandfather and Uncle Liang!"
"Ambitious."
Fan Zeng was originally worried that Xiang Shaoyu, who was young and young, would be discouraged and lose all courage after experiencing two great defeats in Jiguan City and Linzi City. However, the two heavy blows still failed to crush him. Looking at Xiang Shaoyu's upright and sword-like body, Fan Zeng's old but warm eyes were full of admiration.
Fan Zeng caught up with Xiang Shaoyu with words of admiration.
Click!
With the actions of Fan Zeng and Xiang Shaoyu, a gap appeared between the two groups who were originally close to each other. Gai Nie and Pao Ding heard a crisp sound and knew that after Fan Zeng and Xiang Shaoyu left, they were no longer close allies and were at best better than strangers.
I want to keep you, but I don't know what to say.
Tick tock!
Reason told Jing Tianming that after Fan Zeng and Xiang Shaoyu left, he and Shaoyu were no longer friends. Endless panic filled Jing Tianming's heart, and a hot tear seeped out of his eyes and fell down his pretty little face.
Rumble!
When Fan Zeng and Xiang Shaoyu were about to leave the cave, something unexpected happened. A fierce roar came from the foot of the mountain. Everyone, who had plenty of experience of being chased by a large army, heard the sound coming from afar and all of them changed color and looked panicked. This was because it was the sound of thousands of horses galloping.
"what happened?"
"Did the Qin army come here so quickly?"
"Tianming, Shaoyu, be careful!"
……
Faced with the sudden change, the two groups that had parted ways became allies again. Gai Nie and Pao Ding, who had fighting power, protected the other three behind them, with vigilance on their faces. However, the sound of thousands of troops and horses galloping was not coming here. Listening carefully, it seemed that the sound of thousands of waves was gradually fading away.
