Through Time Chapter 504

The old man is, naturally, the ghostly man.

He had already seen through Zhang Li’s mischief long ago, just in time to use fake death to get out of it.

Had it not been for the fact that Zhang Li was raised by him and that no other disciples of the Zongheng family had come down from the mountain, it would not have been difficult for him to kill his opponent.

As for the Golden Dan, after the initial excitement, he had some doubts, or hesitations.

In all the time he had lived, he had not seen or heard of anyone who had ascended to immortality through the Golden Elixir.

Even his ghostly and unpredictable master could not escape old age, sickness and death in the end.

After he had slowly gathered information about Zhao Lang, he felt even less that Zhao Lang was a saint who would give up his long life for the sake of the world.

There was, then, only one conclusion to this matter.

The Golden Elixir did not allow one to live forever.

Looking at Zhang Li’s performance after swallowing the golden elixir, he could be extremely certain that this golden elixir was Zhao Lang’s means to use against them.

Unfortunately, he now knew a little too late.

While he himself had used the fake poison to deceive Zhao Lang, his opponent had also used the fake golden pellet to destroy the disciples of the Zongheng Clan.

In this one, it was he who had lost.

This was the first time he had lost since he had become a ghostly man.

Instead of feeling too bad, it was somewhat exhilarating, and such a good talent can’t be seen very often.

Hm, it wasn’t too bad to let him revive the Zongheng family.

The sage of the Warriors, Sun Bin, was all his disciple, and it wouldn’t hurt to have one more king in Zhao Lang.

With these things in mind, Guigu Zi made his way back to the stronghold of the Zongheng Clan.

“Master, here is the latest news.”

Only when he returned, someone had delivered the information.

The Zongheng family could know the affairs of the world by relying on an extremely developed intelligence network.

Even in the cold of winter, the news never broke.

It’s just that it’s much slower than before.

“It seems that Xiang and the Great Qin, both want to crush each other in one fell swoop.”

After looking at the latest news, Guigu Zi quickly came to his own conclusion that

“Hmm, just how are they both sure that this is not a ploy by the other side?”

In the Great Qin, an engagement of this scale would not have been so quickly determined.

In between were countless trials and reconnaissance.

For this is a battle that no one can afford to lose.

If the Great Qin loses, it can only retreat to the former land of Qin and resume the territory it had before it was unified.

If Xiang loses, then he can only retreat to Jiangdong as well.

This was the kind of battle that would decide the fate of both sides, and it was surprising that it was decided so quickly.

There must be something fishy about it, but unfortunately it is impossible to tell based on intelligence alone.

But after the great battle, it will be clear to see who will be the ultimate beneficiary.

The rest of the information is mostly about the Goguryeo region, which has done its best this time.

It was only when he saw the end of it that Goguryeo’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Xiongnu, the Hu people are not at peace either.”

Although he had gone to the grasslands to contact the Xiongnu and Hu people before, at that time he only wanted to use them to hold back the Great Qin’s border army.

But never saw them as too much of a threat.

This was because both Yan and Zhao before, and later the Great Qin, had always pushed these foreigners to the ground.

They had never lost a head-to-head battle.

But the current situation showed that these foreigners, in fact, were really capable of threatening the people of China.

Thinking of this, Gwizi looked further north with some apprehension.

A few days later, the Xiongnu royal court.

The Huns are now resting and recuperating in their tents, building a next generation in the meantime.

By the time the coming year rolls around, the steppe will have a new crop of young Huns.

This is now a tradition among the Huns.

Inside the royal tent, with Boldon standing in the very middle, were the various nobles of the Huns.

Everyone was a bit confused, what was Shan Yu doing calling them here in the middle of winter and snow?

Boldon did not keep them waiting, and quickly said.

“The coldest days of winter will soon pass, so all the ministries should be prepared.”

The nobles around him were slightly confused, and then looked at Zuo Xian Wang, the Xiongnu noble closest to Shan Yu, and said.

“Shan Yu, what do we have to get ready for?”

Boldon said back.

“Get ready for the march.”

The Hun nobles were even more confused.

The Huns! They could march at any time!

You called us here on this snowy day and that’s what you’re talking about?

The King of Zuo Xian also said.

“Shan Yu, don’t worry! The Huns are ready to march at any time!!!”

Boldon, however, shook his head at this time and said that

“This time is different, we are going to attack the Great Qin.”

At the mention of Great Qin, the eyes of all the nobles lit up, Great Qin was synonymous with prosperity!

All their flashy things were brought over by Great Qin’s merchant caravans.

Boldon continued at this point, saying

“This time, this monarch will gather, the Yue, the Qiang, and the headquarters of the royal court, together an army of three hundred thousand men! ”

“To plunder the whole of the Great Qin!”

Without the Qin army to hold him back, he has conquered the entire grassland, all the peoples except the Hu people!

Now, all he had to do was to take that prosperous world and bring it to the grasslands!

The Left Sage King also said with excitement that

“Shan Yu, you are going to attack the Qin with those people! I thought you didn’t agree before.”

Boldon shook his head and said back that

“This monarch will not attack with them; that high wall of the Qin is almost built.”

“We won’t gain much by fighting hard against the Qin’s border army.”

“When the Qin’s border troops, all of them, go to suppress the rebellion, and after they fight each other to the death, then that’s when we Huns will advance!”

“So, this time when you have gone back, you will also have to arrange for people to move things!”

“The coldest time has passed, the Qin people are ahead of me in spring, and the great battle is just around the corner!”

All the nobles, at this point, understood why Shan Yu had called them over in such a hurry.

The left sage king hesitated at this point and said that

“Shan Yu, since the Qin’s world is so prosperous, why don’t we stay over there and enjoy the prosperity there!”

Hearing these words, the eyes of the other nobles also lit up and said that

“Yes, Shan Yu, that silk made by the Qin people is smoother than a woman’s skin.”

“The food, too, is extremely fine.”

“The houses are gorgeous and warm, much better than our grasslands.”

They, the Xiongnu nobles, still knew the benefits of the Great Qin.

Compared to the grasslands, it was a world of difference.

But Boldon at this time took a cold look around and said that

“It is because of this that the Qin are sheep and the Huns are wolves! It is the power given to us by the gods of heaven that the wolves eat the sheep!”

“But once we enter the Great Qin, we will become sheep! Only if we stay on the grassland are we wolves!”

“Whoever dares to say that he will stay in the Great Qin again, this monarch will let him stay there forever!”

Hearing these words, all the nobles immediately shut their mouths obediently.

They did not doubt each other’s words at all, after all, this Shan Yu of theirs was a ruthless character who dared to kill even his own father.

The Zuo Xian Wang did not dare to ask any more questions about this, but he quickly frowned and said

“Shan Yu, with all of ours going out, what if the Heavenly God Tribe takes the opportunity to sneak in with the Hu people?”

Boldon had almost wiped out the entire royal court of the Hu people, and now it was the Tian Shen tribe that ruled the Eastern Hu, and would not let them off so easily.

At this time, a trace of coldness flashed across Boldon’s face; he had conquered the grassland and had only suffered losses in front of the Tian Shen tribe.

Until now, all the Huns, had no desire to attack the Tian Shen tribe.

“This monarch will also invite them to attack the Great Qin together; before the Qin, the people of the grassland are one.”

Monarch Boldon said indifferently.

The Zuo Xian Wang continued to ask that

“And what if they don’t agree?”

Boldon gave the other man a look, and the Zohan King instantly knew he had asked something stupid and quickly tilted his head to one side.

“If they don’t go, this monarch will destroy them first!”

Hearing these words, all the Xiongnu nobles looked from side to side, just not daring to look at Boldon.

They all knew about Boldon’s being struck by heavenly thunder.

They did not want to be punished by the God of Heaven.

Moreover, the entire Xiongnu’s most elite 10,000 men had actually failed to fight even a few thousand men from the Heavenly God’s tribe.

It was too demoralising.

Boldon said indifferently that

“You need not worry, if we really have to go to war with the Celestial Gods tribe, when the time comes, the Moon Clan, and the Qiang will be at the forefront!”

It was at this point that all the Hun nobles breathed a sigh of relief, and still some said that

“It would be better to invite them to attack the Qin together, if not, I am willing to dedicate some cattle and sheep to the Gods of Heaven.”

“Yes, yes, yes, me too!”

“Some cattle and sheep are just that, as long as I can get back the favour of the heavenly gods, I am willing to do so.”

Looking at the reaction of the Hun nobles, the chill in Boldon’s heart grew a few degrees colder, and

“Good, this monarch will send an invitation to them now.”

But the chill was already in his heart!

This time, if the Hu people do not go, he will take his 300,000-strong army and destroy them first.

He would like to see if the gods of heaven would cleave all the grasslanders to death!

If the Hu people went, he would wait until they had finished fighting with the Qin army and then strike them down!

No matter what, this time, he must exterminate the tribe of the Heavenly Gods!

From now on, the entire grassland would be subservient to him, Boldon!

The Great Qin is only a place to provide him with wealth and women!

This is his ambition!

Soon the meeting in the king’s tent was over and a party of messengers headed in the direction of the Hu people.

A few days later.

The Eastern Hu royal court, where the Heavenly God tribe was located.

Go to hell was teaching Doudou’er martial arts skills when Erhei hurriedly came over to

“Brother De-Death, the Huns have sent us a message!”

Go Dead said, with a raised eyebrow.

“What message?”

Erhei quickly spelled out the message, and then said that

“These Huns have a big heart, and they actually invited us to attack the Great Qin.”

Go to death at this time but narrowed his eyes slightly, before he could speak, Doudouer said with red eyes that

“Go to death brother, we are not going to fight the Great Qin, when they go to the Great Qin, we will go and take revenge!”

She practiced her martial arts skills just to take revenge!

Go to Death, however, shook his head and said that

“We want it, and so does Bolden, and he won’t give us that chance.”

Hearing this, DouDou’s expression dimmed considerably.

But she didn’t cry either, now that her father and brother were dead, she was the family’s only hope for revenge!

At this moment going to die with a slight movement in his heart, he said that

“But to take revenge, it’s not like there’s no chance.”

“Erhei, go and tell the messenger that we accept their cattle and sheep, and are also willing to join them in attacking the Great Qin.”
