Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 455 The Six-Fingered Qin Demon Returns Online
Outside the command tent.

Gongsun Li, carrying a food box, had been standing in front of this unassuming tent for quite some time.

Her usually clear and resolute eyes, like autumn water, were now filled with complex hesitations that even she herself couldn't quite understand.

Inside the tent, the lights were bright, casting a tall, slender figure onto the canvas.

She knew she shouldn't have come.

Jing Ke's request was merely a prelude.

What truly drove her here was the growing anxiety and anticipation deep within her heart over the past few days.

She wants to see him.

I want to see one more time the man who made the promise to me in the face of danger, "Defend the country, it will not perish."

In this perilous situation, where Puyang City seemed on the verge of being crushed by the Qin army's iron hooves at any moment, he was the only lifeline she could see.

But she was also afraid to see him.

She was afraid... that he would become like her senior brother Jing Ke, and that her hopes would ultimately only receive a heartbreaking response.

Just as her heart was in turmoil, an old and urgent voice boomed like thunder from behind her!
"Li'er?!"

Gongsun Li trembled and turned around abruptly, only to see her grandfather, Gongsun Yu, with a weathered face and bloodshot eyes. In the month since she last saw him, this once vigorous old general seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"Grandfather, you..."

She was about to happily go to greet them.

However, before he could finish speaking his words of concern, Gongsun Yu stepped forward and sternly stopped him.

"What are you doing here?!"

The old general had clearly lost control of his emotions. "This is a strategically important military and national site, where swords have no eyes. How dare you come here?! Nonsense! Utter nonsense!!"

Just half an hour ago, the urgent military news that the Pingyang front line had been breached struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

Puyang is in imminent danger, and the defense of the country is in imminent danger!
The anxiety and fear that had been overwhelming him finally erupted when he saw his most beloved granddaughter also caught in the eye of the storm.

This central army camp appears safe and secure, but in reality, it is already in dire straits under the Qin army's onslaught!

He was an old man, and he was going to die anyway, but how could he just stand by and watch his only granddaughter be trapped in such a dangerous situation?!

Gongsun Li had no idea of ​​the deep love and fear in her grandfather's heart. She was stunned by his sudden, thunderous rage.

She felt that all her joy and worry had been shattered by her grandfather's blow.

The indiscriminate reprimand stung her deeply, causing her clear eyes to instantly fill with tears.

"I...I came here on behalf of my senior brother..." she bit her lip, her voice trembling with tears, trying to explain.

"shut up!"

Gongsun Yu was furious. His mind was in turmoil, and he had no patience left to listen to her explanation.

"With war raging and danger lurking, how could he allow you to risk your life here? Get out! Get back to Puyang City right now!!"

"grandfather……"

Gongsun Li trembled at his shout, and the grievances in her heart finally turned into two streams of tears, rolling down her cheeks. Her thin, fragrant shoulders trembled slightly in the cold wind, and she bit her lower lip tightly to keep herself from crying out loud.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were arguing, the curtain of the commander's tent, which had been tightly closed, was slowly lifted by a hand with distinct knuckles.

A figure walked out from there.

In that instant, Gongsun Li felt as if she were seeing a complete stranger.

The one who came out was not the familiar Mo Yu, the gentle and mild-mannered senior brother dressed in simple black clothes.

Instead, it was a form she had never seen before.

He took off his unchanging cloth clothes and replaced them with a set of heavy armor with cloud patterns, covered by a black cloak.

The ordinary yet pleasing face I remembered was now covered by a bronze mask, revealing only a pair of cold, emotionless eyes.

At this moment, the Korean guest minister is temporarily offline. Entrusted by Lord Xinling, Wei Mo, who is stirring up the Wei Kingdom, and the Six-Fingered Qin Demon, reappear in the world!
Qin Shi Moyu's gaze merely swept across Gongsun Li's tear-streaked, pitiful face before moving on without lingering, finally settling on Gongsun Yu.

"I understand General Gongsun's purpose. The military situation is critical, so I will not go into details."

As he spoke, he removed the seal of Lord Xinling, which represented supreme military power, from his waist, and his voice suddenly turned cold.

"Gongsun Yu, heed my command!"

Gongsun Yu was startled!
Upon hearing this command, the old general, who had spent his life on the battlefield, was momentarily struck by a glimpse of the shadow of his former sovereign, Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, who had once commanded the respect of heroes throughout the land, in the masked young man before him!

He instinctively knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed his head!

"Your subordinate is here!" "You shall lead 50,000 guards and retreat to Puyang!"

Qin Shi Moyu's voice was completely calm. After a pause, he continued, "I don't care what methods or means you use, just hold out for thirty days. After thirty days, I'll give you a great victory!"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yu was greatly alarmed!
This order sounds exactly like... the use of a scapegoat!

A storm raged within him, and he was about to argue.

However, when he raised his head and met the icy eyes beneath the bronze mask, all his doubts and words were abruptly swallowed back down his throat.

"This humble general..."

Gongsun Yu's lips moved, and through gritted teeth, he squeezed out two words, "...I obey!"

Gongsun Li stood there blankly to the side.

This was the first time she had seen Mo Yu in this state.

Cold, dignified, powerful... his imposing aura, though not angry, made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

This was completely different from the man she remembered, who would gently comfort her, patiently listen to her, and give her warmth and support.

For the first time, she saw her grandfather, who was always the absolute authority and incomparably dignified at home, in the army, and even in front of the Prince of Wei, kneeling humbly on the ground in front of someone, unable to even lift his head.

Qin Shi Moyu's gaze remained indifferent.

He ignored what Gongsun Yu was thinking and paid no attention to the girl's shocked gaze.

Regardless of what Gongsun Yu thought, for the sake of Wei and for Puyang, he would defend that city even at the cost of his life.

All he needs is Puyang as "bait," as long as it's still there; that's enough.

It doesn't even need to be thirty days.

At most, ten days.

The outcome of this battle will be decided within ten days.

After issuing this order, which was enough to determine the fate of the Wei Kingdom, Mo Yu did not linger for a moment, nor did he even glance at Gongsun Yu, who was still kneeling on the ground, or Gongsun Li, who was standing there dumbfounded.

He turned around, led a few guards, and strode away towards the central command tent.

The dark cloak fluttered in the cold wind.

Gongsun Li gazed at his solitary figure, her bright eyes sparkling.

From beginning to end, he didn't look at him even once more.

This stark contrast stirred up a complex and intense emotion within her.
While feeling wronged by the indifference, I also felt a strange sense of security because of this cold authority.

It was as if, once he made a move, even the fiercest and most ruthless forces of the Qin Dynasty could be easily defeated.

……

The Chinese military tent.

The atmosphere, which had been chaotic due to the urgency of the military situation, came to an abrupt halt the moment Qin Shi Moyu, fully armed and in good condition, stepped in.

All the generals who were engaged in heated discussions immediately stood up and stood solemnly when they saw Mo Yu in this state.

Wei general Zhu Hai did not hesitate at all; he immediately stood up from his position as commander-in-chief and respectfully gave up his seat.

Qin Shimoyu glanced indifferently at the empty main seat, but did not go over to sit down.

He simply walked into the main tent and raised the seal in his hand.

"By order of Lord Xinling!"

"Generals, heed my command!"

"Shh-!"

Inside the tent, all the generals, whether they were Wei generals or Zhao generals who originally served under Lian Po, bowed and clasped their hands in front of the seal!
"The general will obey your orders!"

The thunderous roar seemed to transport everyone back to the glorious battle that had just ended, in which the Qin army was utterly defeated.

It was as if that invincible ruler had never left!

At this time, all the generals from other countries within the allied forces had been lured away from the main battlefield by Mo Yu using various strategies.

Those who remained were only the Wei generals who trusted him the most, and the former subordinates of Lian Po who had just won a resounding victory under his command.

Their level of trust in him is far higher than last time.

They believed that this man would once again lead them to create a miracle that was even more glorious than the last one!
