Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

Chapter 40: The odds of winning are slim, but escaping is more than enough.

If ultimately no clues are found and the lost resources cannot be recovered,

The Black Ice Guard's status in Qin and its reputation in the Emperor's eyes would plummet.

Therefore, Yao Jia was extremely anxious when he heard Lin Qi mention knowing the location of the royal resources.

Lin Qi was not surprised by Yao Jia's reaction.

So he directly stated, "Yes, I do know that place!"

"I have eliminated the two leaders of the peasant school, Xuanzong and Yutu..."

Lin Qi's narration had only begun halfway through.

Yao Jia immediately interrupted him.

His eyes widened, a look of disbelief on his face, as he stared at Lin Qi: "You mean, you personally killed two leaders of the peasant clan?" This was truly unbelievable to him!

Just two days ago, the Lin Qicai he knew was merely a young man who had just entered the Grandmaster level.

The two leaders of the Farmer's Clan are at least Grandmasters of the third rank or higher.

One person can give Lin Qi a lot of headaches, let alone two!

Furthermore, Lin Qi said that it was not just about blocking the opponent, but also about killing them both with his sword, which was even more astonishing.

But after the initial shock, Yao Jia quickly recovered.

Lin Qi and Yan Fei came together.

A glint immediately flashed in his eyes, and he nodded thoughtfully.

"It must have been the two of you who teamed up to kill those two leaders of the peasant clan, right?"

"Indeed, your standards have improved considerably!"

"So, this matter is related to the farmers?"

At this moment, Yao Jia's eyes suddenly sharpened, as if he had an ominous premonition.

Lin Qi, on the other hand, was speechless.

However, since Yao Jia had already made this guess, Lin Qi didn't bother to explain further.

In any case, when the time is right and we show our true strength, everything will become clear.

At that time, he will accomplish this feat alone, instead of Yanfei assisting him.

He continued, "After I dealt with them, I also found a secret letter from Tian Guang among their belongings."

"

"This case concerning royal resources was committed by Tian Guang and his peasant gang!"

"Really? This is actually a farmhouse!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Jia's eyes narrowed sharply, and a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

Just now, when Lin Qi mentioned the word "farmhouse," he already had some guesses.

Now that I've heard the news that all of this has been confirmed, my suspicions have finally been put to rest.

"farmhouse!"

"How audacious! Not only did they dare to attack royal property, but they even killed the Grand Commander of the Black Ice Guard!" The death of the Grand Commander of the Black Ice Guard further enraged Yao Jia, who already harbored deep hatred for the Farmers, and he vowed to make the Farmers pay a heavy price when the time was right.

A sudden surge of fierce aura emanated from him, and his eyes revealed a chilling gaze.

Lin Qi looked at Yao Jia beside him with a complicated expression, feeling a little helpless, and silently sighed in his heart: Why didn't you let me finish speaking?

Your emotional outbursts are making it impossible for me to speak fluently.

So he tried to steer the conversation back on track, prompting, "Sir, would you like to know about that hidden location?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Jia immediately realized what was happening.

"Ha...hahaha..." His laughter was a little awkward, and he added, "Sorry, I got too excited and almost forgot about the important matter!"

Then, his expression turned serious, and he stared intently at Lin Qi, asking, "You said that secret letter mentioned the hiding place?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Jia's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets, clearly indicating that this matter was extremely important.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Yes, the letter did mention that a batch of royal resources were hidden!"

"Where exactly is it?" Yao Jia almost blurted out, his anxiety evident.

Lin Qi replied, "That place is on the mountain behind Dongjia Village in Jiaodong County, Hedong Prefecture!" The mountain behind Dongjia Village, Jiaodong County, Hedong Prefecture!

Upon hearing this, everyone present seemed to be struck by lightning.

"Alright, Commander!" Yao Jia nodded emphatically. "Let's set off now and find those lost resources as soon as possible!"

But Lin Qi shook his head and said, "Commander, please don't be too impulsive."

"Based on my speculation, it was more than just a hiding place for resources."

It is highly likely that skilled farmers, including Tian Guang, are also hiding there.

"

Lin Qi's words were like a guiding light, instantly making Yao Jia understand their meaning.

"Is Tian Guang and his group really there?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't we be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop, leaving them nowhere to escape?"

“That’s right!” Lin Qi laughed. “This is my plan: to kill them all in one strike and completely eliminate these enemies.”

"

"Even if we can't annihilate the enemy, we can still wipe out the elite of the peasantry, severely weakening them and pushing them back to where they were thirty years ago!"

"Then what's there to hesitate about?" Yao Jia sneered. "Immediately deploy forces to surround and attack the farmers' stronghold!"

"They dared to provoke the Black Ice Guard and plunder the royal family. This time, the peasants will not escape!" Things had developed to this point.

Soon after, the Black Ice Guard's intelligence department and its troops began a full mobilization.

At this time,

The mountains near Dongjia Village in Jiaodong County are steep and densely forested.

In this deep jungle.

A large number of people gathered, the most conspicuous of whom was Tian Guang, the current leader of the Farmer's Clan! Standing beside him were several core experts of the Farmer's Clan.

Shennong Hall Master Yaowang is a mid-stage Grandmaster level 4 expert, while Lieshan Hall Master Lishi has reached the late-stage Grandmaster level 4.

This means that, in order to cooperate with Changping Jun's plan, the leader of the Farmer Clan, Tian Guang, personally came to the scene, and also brought four of the four powerful hall masters with him. Only the hall master of Chiyou, Bingzhu, and the hall master of Kuiwei, Gushen, stayed behind at the headquarters in Dazexiang.

This time, in addition to the hall masters, there were also several young geniuses from farming families traveling with them.

This includes Tian Hu, the deputy head of the Chiyou Hall, and Wu Kuang, the chief steward of the Kuiwei Hall, both of whom have reached the peak of the Grandmaster level.

Among those present, when the Medicine King spoke, he said, "Based on the timeline, the String Sect and Yu Tu should have already dealt with Lin Qi and are rushing to meet him here."

Upon hearing this, the head of the farming family, Tian Guang, flashed a triumphant look on his face.

"That's right! Moreover, Lin Qi, who is only at the first level, is no match for the combined forces of the String Sect and Yu Tu."

"They've probably already started their journey here and should arrive around dusk today."

In response, Li Shi, the head of the Lieshan Hall, who was present at the meeting, asked, "Lord Tian, ​​should we arrange an immediate evacuation, or wait for those two to arrive so we can act together?"

But Tian Guang shook his head, "Not yet."

Although we were well concealed, the surrounding area had been completely sealed off.

In addition, top experts from the Black Ice Platform and military powerhouses also joined in.

If there is even the slightest mistake during the evacuation, they could be captured on the spot, and all their efforts would be in vain.

He then added, "It will be nighttime when Xianzong and Yutu arrive, which will be the ideal time to evacuate."

Even if we are unfortunately intercepted, our strength has increased considerably, and we will be fearless even when facing the Black Ice Guard and the strongest warriors in the army.

With the addition of Xuanzong and Yutu, the Farmer's Clan now boasts four Grandmaster-level experts, in addition to Tian Guang's own power reaching the second level of the Celestial Realm.

This means that even when facing people like Meng Wu and Yao Jia, one can remain unyielding.

Everyone nodded in agreement, completely convinced.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his decision, Tian Guang ordered, "Execute the action plan tonight."

"Everyone, go down and patrol, closely monitor the Black Ice Platform, and we will respond promptly to any situation that arises." "Yes, Chief!" Master Li and the others responded one after another, and quickly stood up to prepare for evacuation.

However, just as they were about to leave, a deafening sound suddenly rang out outside.

The sudden loud noise startled everyone present, almost causing them to lose their footing.

"What on earth is going on?" Tian Guang looked into the distance in a panic.

"Send people to investigate immediately and find out what happened!" But before he could finish speaking—

The desperate cries for help from the peasant soldiers could be heard not far away.

"what!"

"Hurry, come save me, my arm..."

"Watch out, the enemy has launched a rain of arrows!"

Then came a series of alarms.

"Enemy attack! The Qin army is coming!"

A series of wails flooded everyone's ears.

"Team Qin?!"

Upon hearing this, a look of panic flashed in Tian Guang's eyes, and his expression instantly turned serious.

"This is bad, we've been discovered!"

"Retreat immediately, we must evacuate!" He decisively ordered all members to begin the retreat.

"But, Your Excellency, a royal treasure?" Master Li reminded him worriedly from the side.

Tian Guang quickly shook his head in denial and said seriously, "It's too late!"

"Being surrounded like this, it would be impossible to take so many precious items away smoothly."

Moreover, the enemy has clearly made ample preparations, quietly infiltrating and launching an attack on us. It's not just about royal resources; if this drags on any longer, I fear none of us will escape.”

"As long as there's still a breath left, resources can always be found."

But once you die, you truly have nothing left.

Tian Guang remained remarkably clear-headed and was not blinded by the abundant resources before him.

Moreover, as long as we continue to cooperate with Changping Jun, we will eventually have the opportunity to regain what we need.

The most important thing right now is to preserve our strength!

After speaking, Tian Guang looked around at everyone, his tone firm and powerful.

"Listen up, everyone! Discard any unnecessary items immediately and prepare to break out."

Then, he turned his gaze to Wu Kuang, Tian Hu and other rising young talents, and repeatedly instructed them: "You are all crucial, you must break through the encirclement."

"As for us, you don't need to worry about us. If we can't win, we can retreat." Tian Guang seemed quite confident about his situation.

After all, his cultivation had reached the second level of the Celestial Realm, so even if he faced multiple encirclements, he could easily escape.

As for the historian and the medicine king, they need not worry too much.

This is because both of them are already at the fourth level of Grandmaster, and can handle any situation except when they are besieged by opponents of the Celestial level.

Even if they face Yao Ming and Jia Jia, although the chances of winning are slim, they have more than enough chance of escaping.

Only these few rising stars from the farming families—such as Wu Kuang and Tian Hu—worried Tian Guang.

Because his cultivation level is still shallow, he remains at the Grandmaster level of the Five Elements.
