Eternal Sword

Chapter 167 Battle of Xiajiang
Chen Tang looked at the corpse on the ground and suppressed the desire in his heart.

He really wanted to search these people carefully.

But he also knew that touching a corpse depended on the occasion and the timing.

They are chasing us now, and the longer we stay, the more dangerous it will be.

The beautiful woman held Dugu Qingcheng in her arms, and three others followed behind her.

After walking for half a day, Dugu Qingcheng woke up and saw that Chen Tang and the other two were still by her side, unharmed. She couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

During this period, the beautiful woman went out for a while.

When he came back, he found several sets of clothes and threw them to Chen Tang and the others, asking them to change.

The clothes worn by Chen Tang and the other three were not only stained with blood, but were also seen by many people, which was indeed likely to attract attention.

After changing their clothes, several people followed the beautiful woman and set off again.

After walking for about ten days, they arrived at a place called Yanyu Village.

This place is still within the territory of Bingzhou, and is not far from the Jingyang County mentioned by the guest in the mountain.

Yanyu Village is located in a fertile field, surrounded by mountains with green peaks.

During the rainy season, a cloud of mist would rise between the mountains, and the village would be looming in it, like a fairyland.

A low wall was erected outside the village to serve as a defense.

At the entrance of the village, under an ancient locust tree, a number of people, both adults and children, were sitting together, listening attentively to what a sixty-year-old man was saying.

Chen Tang and his group came in from outside the village, but this group of people didn't pay any attention.

Instead, the sixty-year-old man raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of Chen Tang and the others.

"Storyteller, please continue. King Qin led a million troops to the Fushui River, but the Wu Kingdom only had 80,000 troops. The two armies faced each other at the Fushui River. How did the Wu Kingdom resist?"

Hearing the crowd's urging, the sixty-year-old man retracted his gaze and continued, "The Qin army is said to have a million soldiers, but in fact there are only more than 200,000 soldiers. At that time, the north was in turmoil, and the main force of the Qin army was still guarding the northern border to prevent invasion from the north."

"But even so, King Qin was still determined to conquer Wu! At that time, King Qin was known as the best fighter in Qin, at the peak of his powers. And Wu had a sword god who was known as the best fighter in Wu."

"In front of the two armies, two men fought on the talisman water. The battle was earth-shattering, and the talisman water stopped flowing..."

Hearing this, Dugu Qingcheng, who was walking in front, suddenly said, "Mom, what this person said seems to be..."

"Freeze said!"

The beautiful woman's expression turned cold, and she scolded Dugu Qingcheng with a harshness she had never shown before.

Dugu Qingcheng was startled and dared not speak.

There was a hint of weirdness on Chang Sun Ming's face. He looked at Chen Tang and Yuwen Heigou and whispered, "This storyteller seems to be talking about things from the previous dynasty."

"Yeah."

Yuwen Heigou seemed uninterested and just responded casually.

Chang Sun Ming whispered, "What Fushui Battle? It's clearly the battle of Xiajiang in the previous dynasty. The Qin Tianwang was talking about the Wu Emperor of the previous dynasty. As far as I know, the Wu Emperor of the previous dynasty was surnamed Qin."

Chen Tang's heart moved, as if he thought of something.

The three of them stopped at the entrance of the village and listened.

All I heard was the old man in his sixties saying, "Normally, the Sword God of Wu is no match for Qin Tianwang. But when the two were fighting, a villain attacked and assassinated Qin Tianwang!"

"what!"

Everyone heard the critical moment and couldn't help but let out a slight cry.

The old man in his sixties said: "Although this person's fighting power is not as good as Qin Tianwang, he is proficient in assassination and has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. If it were just this person, he would not be able to hurt Qin Tianwang."

"At the moment this person made his move, another peerless master made his move on King Qin!"

Someone was furious when he heard this and said angrily: "Since he is a peerless master, why doesn't he dare to fight King Qin one-on-one? Instead, he does something to add insult to injury. How shameless!"

"Three against one, King Qin is definitely no match for him." "Does King Qin have no help?"

Listening to what everyone said, the old man in his sixties shook his head slightly and said, "It is difficult for others to intervene in the fight against a strong man of this level. In fact, in that battle, King Qin fought one against three, and in the end, both sides suffered losses!"

"It's a pity that the Qin army was defeated in the final battle of Fushui."

"The peerless master who appeared last used some methods beyond the comprehension of ordinary people to turn the plants and trees into soldiers holding sharp blades. There were also some strong men who came on cranes. They were in the sky, controlling flying swords to slaughter the Qin army. When the cranes cried, there would be casualties among the Qin army..."

"what!"

"The one who used this method is an immortal, right?"

"Why would this immortal help the State of Wu to deal with the Qin Emperor?"

Everyone exclaimed and talked about it.

Chen Tang was dumbfounded.

The wind is howling and the grass and trees are enemies?
The scene described by this sixty-year-old man seemed to have some similarities with a battle recorded in the history books of the previous life.

Of course, what the old man described was even more mysterious.

Chen Tang had long discovered that some traces of this world were consistent with his previous life.

But for the vast majority, there is a huge difference.

Chang Sun Ming whispered: "I am sure that this old man is talking about the things of the previous dynasty, but he just changed some of the titles. What Wu Guo Sword God is, and what Nan Xia Sword Sect is!"

Yuwen Heigou said, "Let's go, don't listen to the things of the previous dynasty."

Several people followed the beautiful woman into the Misty Rain Village. Chang Sun Ming was still thinking about her. He looked back at the sixty-year-old man from time to time and exclaimed, "This old man is so bold. He dared to talk about the things of the previous dynasty by changing a few names."

"If someone reports this to the authorities, he will definitely be beheaded!"

The beautiful woman suddenly asked, "Are you going to sue the officials? I think if you do, you can get a reward and be credited for your contribution."

Dugu Qingcheng suddenly became a little nervous and looked at Changsun Ming.

Chang Sun Ming didn't notice her expression. He was displeased when he heard her words. He frowned and said, "Senior, what are you talking about? Who am I, Chang Sun Ming? How could I do such a despicable and shameless thing!"

"Even if this old man is talking about things from the previous dynasty, in my opinion, it doesn't matter."

Dugu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

The beautiful woman looked indifferent and did not ask any more questions.

Of course Chang Sun Ming didn’t know that he had just had a close call with death.

Several people followed the beautiful woman into the village.

The village was quite lively. Some people were slaughtering pigs and sheep, and others were shouting on the roadside, selling some simple food.

"Mrs. Lu is back."

Some villagers greeted her with smiles on their faces.

"Qing'er, you are finally back. Your parents must have been worried about you."

A villager saw Dugu Qingcheng and said something with a smile.

Dugu Qingcheng returned to the village and became extremely well-behaved, greeting the villagers warmly. She was completely different from the murderous girl outside...

If Chen Tang and the other two had not seen her methods before, they would have been fooled by her.

The villagers found Chen Tang and his companions unfamiliar, but after all, they were brought in by Mrs. Lu, so they all nodded and smiled at them.

Chen Tang and his companions also returned the greeting with a smile.

These villagers looked simple and warm-hearted, they were just ordinary people, and along the way I saw dozens of them, none of them showed any signs of practicing martial arts.
