Just then, he noticed that the uncle was sweating, so he quickly ran out, filled a basin with water, put a towel in the water, wrung it out, and began to wipe him.

While wiping, she said, "Uncle, please wake up quickly. If you don't wake up, I'll be very scared to be alone in this unfamiliar place."

Leon's lips twitched upon hearing this. This kid's words were truly hard to describe. What did he mean by "unfamiliar place"? This place was clearly very elegant. Wouldn't that be alright?

Besides, it's not lonely here. Tianming takes good care of Gai Nie every day, and in his spare time he goes out to play wildly, and then comes back to take care of him.

And during this period, he took care of Gai Nie all by himself. If anyone has had a hard time, it's him.

That day, Tianming wanted to go out and explore, but Duanmu Rong disagreed because it wasn't a safe place outside, and she couldn't be sure if there were still pursuers outside.

So just in case, it's best to stay here and not move. If anything happens, Duanmu Rong can tell Tianming and let her do it.

Tianming didn't want to stay in this room all the time; it was too stuffy and there was nothing there.

All he had was the uncle's sword, and he thought the uncle's sword was quite beautiful. Tianming's favorite person was an assassin, and when he first saw the uncle, he was convinced that this person must be an assassin.

Because he really liked people who carried swords, he once begged his adoptive father for a sword, but his adoptive father refused no matter what and even scolded him.

At that time, Tianming had no idea why his adoptive father would do such a thing, but now he does.

Because his biological father didn't want his child to dance or play with guns at all; he just wanted his child to live a happy life in an ordinary family.

Unfortunately, Tianming eventually joined the fight.

Because he was so bored, Tianming took the uncle's sword and went out to play, of course, without Duanmu Rong knowing.

But the moment he stepped out, there were many spies from other households outside. Among them, the servants of the Xiang family saw the Yuanhong Sword in Tianming's hand and knew that it belonged to Gai Nie, the enemy of the Xiang family.

Moreover, the fact that the child was holding something in his hand means that the child must know Gai Nie.

So the servants brought him into the mansion to meet Xiang Liang. Jing Tianming wanted to duel with Xiang Shaoyu, the elegant young master of the Xiang family, but he was no match for him and was imprisoned in the woodshed by the Xiang family.

Chapter 1016 Ruthless Destruction of Flowers: Qin Shi Huang Sends Troops

When Tianming was captured, the system was practically laughing its head off. Why did you act so impulsively? You know the gap between you and Xiang Yu.

It's not worth losing face just for a moment of pleasure. Besides, I could have helped him increase his abilities, so why didn't I tell him beforehand? If I had, it might be Xiang Yu who's down now.

On the other side, the Qin Shi Huang Palace.

At this moment, Qin Shi Huang was lying in the arms of a beautiful woman, just about to make love to her.

"No, Your Majesty!" A eunuch's exclamation caused Qin Shi Huang to lose interest.

Qin Shi Huang's expression was very unpleasant, but he still let the eunuch in. The eunuch entered obsequiously, inwardly slapping himself dozens of times for shouting and yelling earlier.

How could I be so stupid? His Majesty is in the arms of a beauty, and I have so rashly interrupted Qin Shi Huang's mood.

Qin Shi Huang would have to be torn to pieces, no, even dismembered by five horses. In short, he was definitely going to die this time.

However, the information he had just received was extremely urgent, and no one expected it to be from this person.

After Qin Shi Huang settled into his seat, his eyes were fixed on the eunuch, but his hands were not idle. He said in a displeased tone, "Speak, what important matter do you have to say? If it's not important, I will kill you!"

Although Qin Shi Huang said these words in a calm manner, the eunuchs were so frightened that their legs went weak. In fact, the palace servants were not afraid of Qin Shi Huang's wrathful and thunderous temper, but they were afraid of Qin Shi Huang who seemed to think that nothing mattered.

This is completely different from that person. Besides, the former only needs to deal with a few people, but the latter is not so certain. Perhaps a casual remark from him could lead to the destruction of an entire family.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant has just received intelligence, this..."

Upon thinking about this, the eunuch was speechless, unsure whether he should tell Qin Shi Huang about it.

Qin Shi Huang grew impatient. "Tell me what you want right now. Don't waste my time here, or I'll send you to beheading right now. It'll be time to see some blood over there."

Upon hearing this, the eunuch was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said tremblingly, "This servant, this servant has learned, learned..." As if he had made up his mind, the eunuch said in one breath, "This servant has received information that Gai Nie has rescued that child named Jing Tianming."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shi Huang immediately released his hold on the beauty, and because there was no longer any obstruction, she accidentally fell to the ground. She glared fiercely at the eunuch; today she had finally managed to spend time with Qin Shi Huang.

Her goal was to gain his favor, hoping that if she became pregnant, she could use the child to rise to power. But because of this eunuch's words, she missed her chance today.

"Your Majesty, who is Gai Nie? Please don't be angry, Your Majesty. I'll keep you company!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Shi Huang angrily grabbed the beautiful woman who had been whispering sweet nothings in his arms just a moment ago and grabbed her by the throat. He slowly began to tighten his grip, and then a snapping sound was heard.

The beauty died. Qin Shi Huang removed his hand, and the beauty slowly fell to the ground, silently.

This frightened the eunuch even more, leaving him speechless. He hadn't expected Qin Shi Huang to be so angry.

Chapter 1017 The Net is Deployed

He wasn't unaware of the beauty's death throes; the ruthlessness in Qin Shi Huang's eyes was a deadly weapon.

"Useless, useless! How could Gai Nie possibly have rescued this child?"

I never imagined that he had been lurking by my side for so many years just for this. I had painstakingly cultivated him all these years, but he turned around and bit me.

No wonder I didn't see him at all this afternoon. I thought he was off on some business. I never expected that he was actually rescuing that kid named Tianming.

Damn it, oh damn it!

Qin Shi Huang was furious. The thought that someone he trusted had betrayed him was a disgrace to his life.

"Chase him! Chase him with all your might! Whoever takes Gai Nie's head and captures Tianming alive will be rewarded."

On the other side, Tianming was captured, and then these people searched the location where Tianming came from. Unexpectedly, they actually found Gai Nie. Since Gai Nie was already injured, capturing him was effortless.

However, Duanmu Rong was out buying herbs, so she was unaware that the two of them had already been captured.

When she returned, she found the house empty. Enraged, Duanmu Rong threw the herbs she had just bought onto the ground.

She had thought that Gai Nie would thank her when he woke up, but she never expected him to run away with Tianming.

Just as Duanmu Rong was about to go find those two despicable people, she suddenly noticed a row of messy muddy footprints at the door.

Duanmu Rong immediately realized that perhaps these two people hadn't escaped at all, but had been captured by someone else. Then she thought again that there weren't many people here who could harbor deep hatred for her.

Then he remembered that when he went to get medicine earlier that day, he suddenly saw the Xiang clan, and this clan had a great hatred for Gai Nie, so it was very likely that it was them.

So Duanmu Rong went to the Xiang residence without hesitation. On her way there, she encountered the guards, all of whom had been drugged and rendered unconscious by her sleeping potion.

Soon, Duanmu Rong found Tianming and Gai Nie's place of imprisonment at the Xiang residence. She saw that the two of them were sleeping on straw, and there were no signs of whipping on their bodies.

It seems the execution hasn't taken place yet. Perhaps they see he's too weak, so they disdain using such methods to torture him. They'll wait until he's healthy before slowly torturing him; that would be more interesting.

There was no one else around to help, so Duanmu Rong wanted to save the two of them.

But at this moment, Xiang Yu wanted to see how Tianming was doing in the dungeon and also to mock him, but instead he saw a woman trying to save them both.

So Xiang Yu shouted, "Guards! Guards! Someone is trying to break us out of prison!" Then he said fiercely to Duanmu Rong, "Who are you? Why do you want to save these two people? Are you one of their henchmen?"

Duanmu Rong was shocked and quickly denied it, but Xiang Yu didn't believe her. This woman had managed to arrive here safely, so there must be some special skill she possessed.

Besides, this woman had been staring intently at Gai Nie the whole time, with the same look she gave him as a lover.

How could he possibly believe Duanmu Rong? Besides, his mother often told him that women are fickle.

Tianming was still asleep when he suddenly heard a lot of noise coming from this side.

Chapter 1018 Donghuang Taiyi

So he yelled, "Can you please stop talking? You're disturbing me!"

Xiang Yu sneered. This kid has already been captured and brought here, yet he still has the mood to sleep. I don't know whether to say he's very carefree or just stupid.

[Tianming, Tianming, you rascal, wake up! Duanmu Rong is here to rescue you! Wake up! Save them!]

Jing Tianming suddenly opened his eyes. Duanmu Rong had actually come. She hadn't abandoned the two of them and left alone.

So this beautiful older sister is very kind, unlike some unknown things and unknown people who don't help you at all when you encounter difficulties.

The system, of course, noticed what Tianming was thinking and felt embarrassed. But it really couldn't be blamed on him. Last time, because he raised the combat power to two hundred, he consumed a lot of their energy, and in the end, he even lost money.

So Tianming had no choice but to do those small tasks, but he didn't lose money doing them.

Tianming didn't care what the system was thinking. He was extremely worried about Duanmu Rong. He knew that she was very good at using medicine, but Xiang Yu's martial arts were also top-notch. What if the two of them really fought?

The outcome is still uncertain, but one thing he is certain of is that he still hopes Duanmu Rong can win.

Tianming also felt guilty, because his uncle wouldn't have brought him here if it weren't for him.

[System, now's your time to shine. What do you suggest we do in this situation?]

The system planned to play dead. It had just contacted Leon, but the man completely disregarded their lives and was now eating and drinking in a grand restaurant. This made him incredibly jealous.

Sorry, I don't know right now. However, a large group of people will be coming for you soon, and then there will be no one guarding you here, so you can escape.

Tianming was relieved to hear this, but the system was far from calm, because it had just detected that a large number of Qin Shihuang's men were about to arrive, so they had to seize the opportunity to escape as soon as possible.

Duanmu Rong was using her sleeping potion, as she didn't want to hurt these innocent people. Xiang Yu also realized that the woman in front of him had no intention of fighting him.

So he asked Duanmu Rong what exactly she was and why she had come here.

However, Duanmu Rong didn't want to answer him at all, and it was already time to change Gai Nie's dressing. If they waited until after the time was up to administer the medicine, then all the dressings they had applied before would have been in vain.

So Duanmu Rong went straight into the cage. A key caught the eyes of the two men. Xiang Yu quickly touched his pocket, only to find that the key he originally had was gone.

He was shocked. When exactly did this woman steal her keys? And how could she do it so quietly?

Tianming truly admired Duanmu Rong; her skills were simply amazing. So he asked the system if he could learn this skill in the future, but the system dismissed him.

"Our God System doesn't care about these things at all. Besides, we'll give you something even more powerful later, so you don't need these things now."
