In the third carriage, the Protagonist, Zhao Pan, was sealed inside a huge metal cage.
At this moment, Zhao Pan's face was full of dejection.
That night, Zhao Pan exhausted all his resources, and now he has less than a hundred coins left in his system.
Having gone a day and a night without food, he could only exchange his hundred coins for a bottle of mineral water.
This metal cage was created by Xiang Shaolong using the power of metal, and it looks very similar to a modern vending machine.
"A bottle of ice-cold Coke, please!" Xiang Shaolong said, patting the cage as he approached it.
"Fifty dollars!" Zhao Pan said weakly.
Knife coins were one of the very few types of currency that could circulate among various countries in this era. At present, the six countries have not yet unified, and the monetary system is extremely chaotic.
Without wasting any words, Xiang Shaolong threw in fifty knife coins, then took the bottle of iced cola that Zhao Pan handed him and drank more than half of it in one gulp.
After letting out a comfortable burp, he said, "Wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner?"
Zhao Pan remained silent. He was arrested late at night. Extremely resentful, he was Freeze for several hours by Xiang Shaolong and almost died.
Even now, Zhao Pan is still in shock and hasn't accepted his defeat.
What happened to the Protagonist? He was just taken down like that?
Why are there immortals in the A Step into the Past World "? Xiang Shaolong, Shan Rou, Yuan Zong, Wu Yingyuan, Tao Fang, Zou Yan, and even Wu Tingfang and Qin Qing have become "immortals".
What exactly is Ling Yi's identity? A time traveler? But his speech and behavior don't seem to suggest it.
Or perhaps someone from the Immortal Realm?
Where in the A Step into the Past World does the Immortal Realm come from?
Or perhaps Big Shot from another world?
That's absolutely outrageous.
"I'm not convinced!" Zhao Pan said dejectedly.
"Tch, just focus on working as a vending machine, otherwise you're completely worthless."
Zhao Pan looked up at Xiang Shaolong and suddenly laughed, "Have you ever thought that history has already been changed? So what if Ling Yi becomes First Emperor of Qin? The future State of Qin will definitely not develop along the original trajectory, and you will still disappear."
"So you know Sow Discord, huh? You don't need to worry about that. Do you think Big Shot Ling Yi wouldn't have thought of these issues?"
Ling Yi wasn't worried about Xiang Shaolong's situation; at worst, he could just give Xiang Shaolong a cheat code.
"Now that Qin Qing has been taken away by Ling Yi, are you willing to accept that?" Zhao Pan continued to tempt him.
Xiang Shaolong sighed and said, "After all, it's not just one person."
After a pause, Xiang Shaolong suddenly laughed and said, "I'm currently pursuing Princess Zhao Qian. Do you think I'll succeed?"
Zhao Pan scoffed, "I'm just playing with leftovers. You like picking up used goods, so go ahead."
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong said to the person next to the carriage, "Miss Xiaoqian, did you hear that? Why would you like such trash?"
Zhao Qian walked out, her face pale, and slammed the food in her hand into the cage, angrily shouting, " Zhao Pan, shameless!"
Zhao Pan's face was extremely ugly, but he didn't say a word, and finally simply closed his eyes.
"I told you long ago that this guy wasn't a good person, but you wouldn't listen. I've never seen such a stupid woman like you. Now you know what he's really like, don't you?" Xiang Shaolong said, hands on his hips.
"Hmph, you're no better than me." Shan Rou rolled her eyes at him and pulled Zhao Qian away.
At the very front of the procession, Ling Yi and Qin Qing were riding side by side.
"You said that night that you had many women, but why have I never seen them?" Qin Qing asked.
Ling Yi was taken aback. So much time had passed, and he still remembered this?
Weren't you asleep that day?
"I only heard that sentence in my dazed state."
They really know how to pick and choose what to listen to.
They are no longer in this world.
Qin Qing paused for a moment, then said in a consoling tone, "Please accept my condolences."
Ling Yi said, half-laughing and half-crying, "That's not what I meant. It's just that they live in different worlds."
"Can you tell me about them?" Qin Qing asked curiously.
After recalling for a moment, Ling Yi said, "The first woman I met was extremely strong and domineering; it was a Jianghu world full of swords and shadows..."
Ling Yi started talking about Dongfang Bai and continued to Lu Xueqi and Biyao. Qin Qing listened quietly, and the furrowed brows on her face gradually relaxed.
"They are indeed remarkable women. Perhaps only women like them are worthy of you."
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "Sometimes I can't distinguish between love and sentiment. In my opinion, I'm not good enough for them."
"Feelings?"
Ling Yi thought for a moment and said, "Take you, Qin Qing, for example. Your name is known throughout the countries, and countless young talents want to catch a glimpse of your beauty, but most of them may never see you in their entire lives."
"The admiration that those who cannot see you feel for you is sentiment, but sentiment is not love."
So, do you love them now?
Ling Yi remained silent for a long time, unsure how to respond.
Does it love? Yes, it does. The happiness I felt while receiving the memories of my various Clone in the Ling Realm was genuine, so it is love.
But Ling Yi didn't dare to say "I love them" to Qin Qing, perhaps because Ling Yi felt he wasn't qualified to say it.
For some reason, Ling Yi didn't want to lie to Qin Qing.
"Do you think it's unfair to them?" Qin Qing asked.
"Um!"
"If they are happy, then there is no unfairness. If you can bring them happiness, then you have no need to feel guilty."
Ling Yi laughed and said, "I've thought about it that way too, but I still can't convince myself, so I don't dare to get involved with other women now."
"You should know that they might not care about this. If they really like someone, why hesitate?" Qin Qing said meaningfully.
These words were practically a direct statement, and Ling Yi was momentarily at a loss for words.
Just then, Tao Fang, at the head of the convoy, suddenly shouted, "Rein in your horses! Be on guard!"
"Interesting, they actually came all this way to give me a rundown of the story."
Seeing the figure blocking his path, Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Lian Jin, Lian Jin had disappeared for almost a month, suddenly appeared here.
Lian Jin was dressed in black, holding a thin sword in his left hand, his right arm bare, his sleeve fluttering in the wind, his hair long and disheveled, part of it obscuring half of his face.
Tao Fang was about to step forward to negotiate when Ling Yi stopped him.
"I'll do it!" Ling Yi jumped off his horse, grabbed at the Void with his right hand, and condensed a long sword from the power of metal.
He walked slowly toward Lian Jin.
" Ling Yi!" Lian Jin's voice was hoarse and gloomy.
"Make your move. You only have one chance," Ling Yi said calmly.
"Today, you will die!"
Lian Jin raised his slender sword, flicked it in the air, and charged directly at Ling Yi.
This sword strike was extremely fast and had no fixed trajectory, moving up and down, left and right, like Viper flicking its tongue in the air, leaving behind Daodao afterimages.
Ling Yi flicked his longsword upwards, quickly drawing a zigzag pattern in the air, and accurately struck the tip of the rapier.
The rapier was inherently flexible, and when Ling Yi struck it, it bent and curled back instantly. Immediately afterward, Ling Yi pressed down on the blade of his longsword, pinning the rapier down and preventing it from returning to its original shape.
Then Ling Yi accelerated, his longsword slicing through the thin sword as he thrust it forward. The tip of the thin sword flipped back and, to Lian Jin's astonishment, pierced his throat, only to bounce back out a moment later.
Lian Jin had a tiny wound on his throat, but it was incredibly deep, almost piercing through.
Lian Jin clutched his throat, knelt down, and a pained expression appeared on his face.
This wound may seem small, but it is still fatal, and it will cause Lian Jin to suffer for a longer period of time.
"In all the storylines I've seen, it's rare to see someone appear twice in a row like you. I'll give you a quick death."
As Ling Yi spoke, Jian Yi, plunging it directly into Lian Jin's forehead. After a brief pause, the sword slowly dissipated.
Ling Yi dodged with his right foot on the ground, and as the soil churned, Lian Jin's corpse was swept into the ground...
Lian Jin has officially wrapped filming.
At this moment, Tao Fang walked over and said, "The dignified number one swordsman of State of Zhao has now fallen to such a state; it's truly pitiful."
Is it pitiful? It is quite pitiful. It seems that any extra who encounters the Protagonist doesn't have a good ending.
" Camel Hump Mountain is just ahead. Should we set up camp here tonight?" Tao Fang asked again.
"Speed up the march. By now, the State of Zhao has probably realized what's happening. Don't forget, there are still hundreds of thousands of Li Mu's troops ahead. If we get bogged down, it will be incredibly troublesome."
"Okay, I understand."
But just then, Wu Yingyuan rode up from the back of the group and said to Ling Yi, " Zhu Ji said she is not feeling well and wants to rest for a while."
"Ignore it!" Ling Yi waved his hand and said.
"But..."
"I'm only Borrow this identity now, not anyone's power, nothing more," Ling Yi said coldly.
"Yes, I understand!" Wu Yingyuan had no objections. With Ling Yi ' current strength, all they needed to do was return to Xianyang and acknowledge this legitimate identity.
As for the rest, in Ling Yi's words, just go for it.
But Wu Yingyuan naturally wouldn't say that to Zhu Ji. Instead, he explained their current predicament and told her that they wouldn't be out of danger until they reached Xianyang, and they couldn't delay for even a moment.
Zhu Ji didn't actually want to rest; rather, she wanted to stop and spend more time talking with Ling Yi to strengthen the bond between them as "mother and son."
After hearing Wu Yingyuan's explanation, she said no more. After all, she didn't want to be captured and taken back to State of Zhao to live a life of dependence Wutian.
The troops marched at Rapid Speed, day and night, and arrived at the border between Qin and Zhao in just over ten days.
If Ling Yi and his men hadn't nourished the horses with the power of wood, the warhorses would probably have perished long ago during such Rapid Movement.
Even so, it was still too late.
But seeing the massive, dark army of State of Zhao ahead, Ling Yi and the others felt somewhat helpless; it seemed a major battle was inevitable.
It wasn't that Ling Yi and his group weren't fast enough, but rather that a large portion of State of Wei's territory still separated Qin and Zhao. Ling Yi and his group didn't want to enter State of Wei territory and cause unnecessary trouble, so they chose to detour to the north.
Only that small area in the north forms the border between Qin and Zhao, and Lü Buwei is waiting there.
"What should we do?" Yuan Zong asked, frowning. He was the one among these people who least wanted to fight.
" Yuan Zong, I told you before that many people would die. Today's battle is unavoidable..."
