Chapter 461: Heavy Snowstorm, King Qin Arrives (asking for monthly ticket)
The wind was very strong, blowing towards his face. Yue Pengwu wiped the blood stuck on the tip of his spear. The sharpness of the Liquan Divine Spear had not diminished after a long battle, and the divine horse he was riding did not show any signs of fatigue either.

He hid himself from outside the northern border, crossed Ying State, and headed to the Jiangnan area.

This is not a difficult task for Yue Pengwu.

If a Nine Heavens God General were to be trapped alone in an army led by a famous general, he would surely die. However, if he did not intend to expose himself or attack cities, he could go anywhere, just like a martial arts hero with top-notch means.

But the world is in turmoil, demons are rampant, and the people are lonely and miserable.

Yue Pengwu had originally planned to rush to the south of the Yangtze River alone. Not wanting to create any complications, he had already driven his horse forward, but he heard a wailing sound coming from behind, and he heard the sound of "Oh, God" crying out in the same Central Plains language.

Even if you are a divine general, you can't move your feet.

He just sighed, turned his horse's head, picked up his spear and rode away, galloping in this troubled world.

A real man's principles can never be broken.

Even now, Yue Pengwu did not regret what he had done that day. A real man should take responsibility for his own actions. There was no need to implicate King Qin and others. He could cross the vast world by himself and reach Jiangnan again.

There was the sound of horse hooves nearby, and Guan Twelve, an elder of the Mohist family, came up wearing a black robe and carrying a sword. Guan Twelve had messy white hair. He looked at the vast expanse of land in front of him, sighed faintly, and said, "General Yue, there is a murderous aura in front of us, so be careful."

"I'm afraid there's still an ambush."

Yue Pengwu said calmly: "No matter what kind of ambush it is, Yue Pengwu only needs a big gun in his hand. However, you, Guan Lao, don't have to go with Yue." Guan Twelve laughed loudly and said, "What are you talking about, General Yue, hahahaha."

"The injustices of the world will be dealt with by the people of the world."

"Aren't the Mohist disciples considered to be people of the world?"

"Besides, General Yue is going to Jiangnan, and I want to go there too. The King of Qin has issued a Mohist Master Order to summon all Mohists in the world to gather in Qin. The Master Order has already been issued, but I'm an old man and have no time to go there."

"This time when we drew our swords to deal with that bunch of scum, it was you, General Yue, who helped us. Otherwise, my Mohist disciples would have been killed. It is reasonable for us to do the same thing. How can you, General Yue, help us and then we just turn around and leave?"

Guan Twelve tilted his neck upwards, he was actually very confused.

Because the order from the Mohist leader targeting him had actually been issued a long time ago, but he had been busy outside and was too lazy to go.

He was not good at the battlefield mechanical techniques used to attack cities and capture strongholds.

He was not good at the mechanical technology used in agriculture, and what he pursued was to integrate medical skills with mechanical technology, just like his previous disciple Yu Junyue. With the help of mechanical technology, medical skills and strange martial arts, he tried to imitate mechanisms and meridians.

All I can do is build mechanical arms for people.

Or he could create some mechanical legs and feet. He didn't think that such means would be of any use under the command of King Qin, who was trying to fight for the world and the times.

But the great Mohist leader kept writing letters to urge him.

Guan Twelve asked the master what was going on.

This old guy didn't say anything. I asked him many times, saying that the matter was complicated and he was worried that if it was leaked, there would be big problems or it would affect the situation in the world.

He praised him crazily, saying that your mechanical arm and mechanical skills are unique in the world, and that among all the Mohist schools, you are the first in this area.

You must come over.

It’s just that Guan Twelve has a very bad temper, so if you don’t say anything, I won’t ask.

Love it!
What's wrong? Can a machine man influence the trend of the world? !

I give you shit.

Affect the situation? Do you want me to build some mechanism to reshape ancient generals, or throw out the dead and put them into the mechanism? Damn it, my mechanism is only for restoring the disabled to their original state.

This thing can help the people, but can it affect the world?
Hahahaha, this old guy is doing some nonsense to him again.

But this time, the King of Qin summoned all the Mohists in the world. Such a move was extremely rare in the history of Mohism, and it was even the first time. Even Guan Twelve couldn't help but become interested and planned to go together. He also wrote a letter to tell his disciples not to worry about him.

There were some brave men following Yue Pengwu.

One of them was named Niu Wei. He sighed and said, "General Yue, if we cross this place and go through a few more cities, we will see the border. However, the obstacles along the way are particularly severe."

Yue Pengwu exhaled a breath of turbid air and said slowly: "Thank you all brothers for following me here. Yue Pengwu thanks you very much. The road ahead will be difficult and dangerous. I will lead the way for you and will not let you down!"

Everyone nodded.

Guan Twelve grinned. Perhaps it was because evildoers appeared in troubled times. He held the Mohist sword and traveled all over the world. He saw many people who acted recklessly in these chaotic times, but he also saw people like Yue Pengwu.

Although he was fleeing alone, he managed to subdue thirty-six bandits and seventy-two ruffians along the way. Although most of them were not the top heroes of the time, there were a few with fourth or fifth level skills among them. They might not be very impressive in the world, but once they settled down in the mountains and rivers, they were enough to make a name for themselves.

Another man with a deep face and a broad chest rode a dark warhorse, holding a lance in his hand. He was very imposing, his eyebrows raised, and said, "Brother, the road ahead is difficult. Because of the King of Qin, the many checkpoints ahead are more stringent than before."

“Almost every level is guarded by powerful generals and troops.”

"We need to take a small path to bypass the checkpoint and avoid the fighting. It's not that I want to destroy the prestige of my brothers. We are a hundred people and we all have some skills and methods. How can ordinary soldiers be our opponents?"

"But the other side has a large spear formation, with hundreds or even thousands of people forming a formation, and pressing down with heavy shields, spears, and crossbows. Some of our brothers will definitely be injured. Even if we can barely protect ourselves at that time, we will inevitably be restrained."

"Once we are pinned down, it will be difficult to leave in a short time. Then when the eagle on the other side sends a message and the army arrives, we will be in danger."

Yue Pengwu said: "Brother Shan is right."

Next to him was a solemn man named Dou De. He was brave and skilled in martial arts when he was young. Now he was over 40 years old and had reached the seventh level of the Grandmaster realm. Half a year ago, he met the Wolf King Chen Fubi, who personally taught him martial arts and taught him his own military tactics.

Now, after more than half a year, the obstacles that had troubled me in the past have been cut open and cleared.

He has mastered the Eight-fold Martial Arts and the military tactics taught by the Wolf King himself. He has gathered thousands of people under his command. They are hiding among the mountains and rivers, forming a powerful force. The big man with a dark face next to him is named Shan Xiong, and he is his sworn brother.

The two men had been hiding in this world, waiting for the right opportunity to make heroic efforts. A few days ago, they came down the mountain and saw a group of bandits. They did not dare to rebel against the government like they did, but instead wielded their butcher knives against the people, plundering them and living a life of luxury.

Just as they went to help, they saw a man wearing a tight-fitting suit and a robe, holding a big gun and coming towards them. He was able to disperse and kill two or three hundred bandits by himself. The two were terrified, they had never thought that there would be such a heroic man in this world.

Dou De and Shan Xiong were both brave and just treated it as a government general coming.

Yue Pengwu also felt that this was someone who was in cahoots with the bandits who robbed the common people.

Three people on both sides were meditating together, fighting back and forth. If Guan Twelve had not arrived in time, the winner would have been decided in an instant. After that, everyone cleared up the misunderstanding and it could be said that they got to know each other through fighting and became quite friendly and congenial.

I heard that Yue Pengwu was going to cross Ying State and reach where the King of Qin was.

Although Dou De and Shan Xiong each have their own foundation and are not willing to follow Yue Pengwu to Jiangnan like other grassroots heroes, they also have the spirit of chivalrous men and decide to personally escort them all the way to their destination.

With the help of these few local heroes from Ying State, the journey was originally very smooth. However, they were discovered again. After much inquiries, they found out that some of the people rescued by Yue Pengwu and others had leaked the news to the government.

Niu Wei was furious when he heard this, and his hand holding the knife was almost shaking with anger.

He immediately picked up his sword and mounted his horse, wishing he could turn his horse around immediately, go back, and chop to death those people who had passed the message. He had a very bad temper, but Yue Pengwu held the horse's reins with one hand.

It was a brave and powerful horse, but Yue Pengwu was holding the reins with one hand. No matter how hard Niu Wei tried, the horse didn't move at all. Niu Wei said, "General Yue!"

"We came to their rescue, but they told the Ying people our whereabouts. We should just turn around and kill them with a knife!"

Yue Pengwu subdued the warhorse with one hand, but said calmly:

"Then what's the difference between you and me and those who killed people with force?!"

Niu Wei snorted for a long while, and just said bitterly:
"But, they, they repay kindness with enmity!"

Yue Pengwu looked around and said slowly:
"From our perspective, this may be the case; but for the common people, they are barely surviving in this chaotic world, but are swept up in so many things, such as robbery and government interrogation. They are panicked and terrified, and it must be difficult for them to calm down."

"Besides, they were taken away by the thieves and then sent back by us. The government will certainly interrogate them about why they left and how they came back."

"When ordinary people experience something like this, they must be terrified and at a loss. It is common for them to answer subconsciously when asked this question. They are not trying to betray, but are just out of fear."

"When we do things, we must also consider the situation of the people. We must not vent our anger just because we are not doing well, without considering the difficulties and situations of ordinary people."

"It is precisely because you have a knife in your hand that you need to be more cautious."

"Otherwise, if you take a wrong step, you will become a thief who does whatever he wants."

Everyone was thinking about what he said. Niu Wei slowly loosened his grip on the knife, dismounted and bowed, saying, "Thanks to General Yue for stopping me. Otherwise, I would have gotten angry and become the guy I used to despise the most."

Yue Pengwu naturally comforted and persuaded them. He said that the gun in his hand was only for saving people and maintaining peace. The group moved forward another hundred miles and passed several checkpoints. There were not many obstacles left ahead, so they sent people to investigate and come back to report the situation at the front line.

Shan Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After this section of the journey, the only thing left is the newly built Ying State Border. This is the biggest difficulty. This city is very difficult to bypass and is heavily guarded on both sides."

"Perhaps the best way is to charge forward."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell into silence.

City, fortress, strong charge.

All cities must be guarded. In the fortress, mechanical devices, bows and crossbows, and arrow volleys are the most basic things. The inspection here is strict, and it is almost impossible to hide your identity and sneak in. If you want to force a charge, it means that you have to face the fortress with arrows raining down and rush forward desperately. The arrows and horse shooting of the army are a crushing threat to the heroes of the rivers and lakes.

Even though the sword's blade could cut off the arrows, the army was pouring arrows like rain, recklessly and without regard for the cost. Ordinary warriors could only be pierced by the arrows and die after exhausting their strength.

There was a dead silence. Yue Pengwu stuck the spear in the ground, bowed, and said:
"Everyone, I am grateful for your friendship in accompanying me here. However, the road ahead is difficult. You can stop and never move forward. When we meet again in the future, I will bring you some good wine and drink with you!"

Yue Pengwu bowed deeply.

Many grassroots heroes were all solemn, dismounted, bowed deeply, and said: "What are you saying, Brother Yue? We came here to rebel against the Ying Kingdom. In this world, we know that we can't live freely like this."

"One day, the army of Ying will arrive. Sooner or later, brothers like us will die in this chaotic world. Haha, just like wild dogs, howling and barking in the winter wilderness, running until we use up our last bit of strength and die on the roadside."

"Today, I am able to meet a hero like Brother Yue. This is already the happiest thing in my life. Finally, people like us can charge into the battle formation together with General Yue. How happy it is!"

Everybody burst into laughter, what a hero.

While we are talking, life and death are the same.

A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold!

Yue Pengwu looked at them deeply. He was also such a hero. He laughed heartily and said, "Okay! Then, everyone, come with me back to Jiangnan. Then, I will treat you brothers to a big drunken party!"

Niu Wei laughed: "One game is not enough, we need at least three thousand games!"

"Okay! Then let's get drunk for three thousand times!"

Dou De and Shan Xiong both sighed in their hearts when they saw this scene. The more this happened, the more troubled the world will be, when heroes rise and people are thinking of making trouble, and when the ambitions in the hearts of the powerful and wealthy burn uncontrollably like flames, there will definitely be such heroes appearing.

There is no need for so-called power, oppression, gold, silver, or wealth.

Such people standing there are like flags in the flames of troubled times, straight and sharp, piercing the darkness like a spear, pointing to the sky. There are always people who still hold the burning fire in their hearts in troubled times, and they gather here for this reason.

Tear through the darkness.

Or, after the ultimate brilliance.

Completely swallowed by this darkness.

But the flame at that moment will become the most touching light in the entire long scroll of time, and will still be missed by people even after thousands of years.

Dou Dewei, who was already considered a local hero with five or six thousand elite martial artists under his command, sighed and said to his sworn brother beside him: "Yue Pengwu is already such a contemporary hero, but he still wants to go find this person, King Qin, King Qin."

"What does this person look like?"

"Is Marshal Yue going there for this man, or is it just for the loyalty of the former master's son?"

Shan Xiong understood Dou De's real thoughts and said, "Brother, you still can't let it go."

Dou De did not continue speaking, his expression calm and heroic.

He was brave and heroic when he was young. He once held an official position in Ying State and had seen the heroism of Jiang Wanxiang. Later, he entered the world of martial arts, learned martial arts and traveled around. He met many figures in the world, but none of them surpassed that person.

The world is in chaos and people are rising up in all directions, and they are galloping across the world.

Unhurriedly, the army penetrated deep into the heart of Ying State alone, but was completely wiped out, and the ultimate limit was lost in the battle, the Shenwu King.

Dou De used to think that there were many heroic figures in the world. He had seen them all over the past forty years. But when he saw the Wolf King that day, he realized that in such a big world with countless heroes, there actually were such people!
He was personally taught martial arts by King Shenwu and was given three volumes of military books as a gift.

In Dou De's heart, there was no hero more outstanding than King Shenwu, and no king more heroic than King Shenwu. Therefore, he was very respectful to the King of Qin, who had defeated King Shenwu on the battlefield in the Western Regions and had many connections with King Shenwu.

After all, it’s in my heart.

He at least wanted to see what kind of temperament such a person had.

At this moment, he replied, "Brother Yue, don't worry. Although the two of us need to return to the mountains, we must escort Brother Yue all the way to Jiangnan and ensure that he is safe and sound before we can return."

As they moved forward, they saw many soldiers blocking the road ahead. They were shocked. They had never thought that even though they were careful on this road, the road they chose was still discovered by Ying Guo.

Yue Peng, Wu Dou De, Shan Xiong and others rushed to the front.

However, when they were fighting, they suddenly discovered that these pursuers did not seem to have much will to fight. There was panic on their faces. When they saw them appear, they seemed to be even more shocked and frightened. They retreated again and again and were soon dispersed.

Guan Twelve was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it carefully.

Dou De's expression darkened, and he said, "Since we have been discovered, I'm afraid they have already made some preparations. All we can do is take advantage of the speed of this charge and rush out immediately before the enemy can fully react!"

The relief that everyone felt after breaking through the ambush suddenly became tense.

Pursuers were common, but the real fear was the inevitable volley of arrows from the city and fortress ahead. There, the arrows were like rain. Everyone pursed their lips, gripped their weapons, and looked at Yue Pengwu and Dou De who had rushed to the front, with a sense of solemnity and heroism in their hearts.

A real man has his life and his death!
Is he dead now?
It was already midwinter, almost winter, with strong winds and snow. Everyone rushed forward with the heroic spirit of being ready to die, but they did not see the bows and crossbows, volleys, and alerts in front of them, and the city gate that had not yet been completely completed was tightly closed.

There were more than a hundred people lying on the ground, most of them had lost their ability to fight. There was also a general who was half-kneeling on the ground, seriously injured by a halberd and fell back. This scene full of military atmosphere and traces of battle fell into the eyes of this group of grassroots heroes, and it stunned them.

There were scattered weapons, arrows, flames and traces of sword energy on all sides. A fierce murderous atmosphere rose to the sky. On the city gates and fortresses, all the mechanisms were broken. Some archers had pale faces, and the defending generals and soldiers were all frightened and uneasy.

One person, guarding the pass!

Who is this person? !
Could it be that there is someone to pick up the pieces? !
Niu Wei and others were stunned, and Dou De stared at the man in front of the city gate.

He was wearing a black robe with the iconic scarlet kirin cloud pattern on the hem of the sleeves. His black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and his hair was slightly raised at his temples. There were traces of blood on his sleeves and body, and it was obvious that he had been through a battle.

Everyone still didn't know who the person in front of them was, but Yue Pengwu was stunned and murmured in disbelief: "...King Qin?"

? ? ! !
Dou De's pupils suddenly contracted.

King Qin! ?
who.!!

The thoughts of these grassroots heroes froze for a moment.

They only wanted to go back to Jiangnan with General Yue and do something big. They knew that there would be many dangers along the way. When charging into the battle, they would encounter volleys of archers, which were extremely threatening military tactics to the people in the martial arts world.

Even if I die, it is my own choice after all.

I will not regret even if I die.

They also had illusions that reinforcements would arrive, but almost immediately, they dispelled this unrealistic idea.

How can it be? !
They knew the heroes of the world, the changes of the times, and the hierarchy of the world. How could any prince send reinforcements for their group?

But, reinforcements were available.

There is such a person.

That's enough.

The wind and snow were blowing, and white snowflakes fell, staining the ink-colored sleeves. The King of Qin held the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd, his expression was calm, and the aura of the battle just now was rising to the sky. He put down the halberd in his hand and looked at Yue Pengwu.

Yue Pengwu was in a trance. He looked at the young king in front of him, as if he saw the young man in the dungeon five years ago, grinning and saying:

'Those who carry firewood for the public should not freeze to death in the snow.'

'The general's life.'

"Li Guanyi carried it on his back!"

Now, five years later, when I see Li Guanyi again, the immature fourteen-year-old boy in my memory and the nineteen-year-old young man in front of me are mixed together.

Only now did I realize that several years had actually passed.

Only now did I realize that even though several years had passed, the young man in front of me was still that young man.

Many heroes from the grassroots saw the King of Qin blocking the pass alone.

Don't ask about the way ahead, don't ask about their origins, don't ask whether there are pursuers behind.

The King of Qin just held his weapon, his sleeves hanging down. White snow flew all over the sky and earth, staining his shoulders and sleeves. On this battlefield, on this road he had personally opened up, he smiled and asked them, "What are you doing?"

"It's snowing heavily, Commander Yue, everyone, why are you so late?"

Everyone was speechless. Who was Yue Pengwu? Why was the world on fire? In whose hands did the heroic King Shenwu entrust the future and the possibilities of the world, the magnificent dream? There was no need to say more.

How fierce the war is!
King of Qin, guard the pass.

Welcome in person!
