Chapter 411 Advantages
The palace was now in chaos. As the war broke out outside the city wall, people's hearts were in chaos.
Mokdu took his trusted guards with him, but he had no time to pack up the accumulated treasures. He took some valuables that were easy to carry and prepared to run away.
Surrounding Mokdu were a group of weeping concubines. They begged Mokdu to take them with him, but Mokdu only had impatience on his face.
"What should I take you to do?"
Mokdu pushed him away and held his hand, and killed his favorite concubine with one stroke.
The bright red blood stained the delicate silk dress. The beauty fell to the ground with fear, and her long golden hair was mixed with blood. The terrifying scene scared away all the Mokdu concubines.
Seeing his concubines running away, Mokdu had no intention of paying attention to them. The Qin army had already broken through the city, and he had no choice but to flee immediately.
"Walk!"
As soon as this order was given, Mokdu's soldiers hurried over.
"The horses are ready, but Lord Tudor..."
"What's wrong, teacher?"
There was an obvious look of panic in Mokdu's eyes.
"Lord Tudor was trapped in the tower where the classics were collected by a small group of Qin troops."
"How long has it been, and the teacher still can't bear to part with his treasures."
Mokdu did not hesitate and immediately pulled out the long knife that had been folded and stained with blood.
"My most loyal warriors, follow me to save the teacher!"
As soon as the order was given, the trusted soldiers around Mokdu responded and immediately rushed out.
The beacon smoke gradually extinguished, and the chaos in the city was quickly put down.
Xin Zhao walked into Mokdu's palace. There was a tower made of stone on the far left, standing tall. There had just been a battle here, and there were the corpses of the Qin army and the corpses of the ghost soldiers on the ground.
Obviously, even if the overall battle situation went smoothly, there was a failure here.
"what happened?"
"We two brothers from Shi took the lead in attacking the palace. We saw a man in rich clothes entering the tower under the guard of soldiers, so we wanted to capture him. However, just as we were about to enter the tower, we were attacked by Mok Du led hundreds of soldiers to surround and kill him. They rescued the man in the tower and quickly left through the north gate of the palace."
"Strange!" Xin Zhao muttered, "If Mokdu wants to run away, he can leave directly from the north gate. Why do he have to come here specifically and make such a big turn? It seems that the man in this tower is very important to him. important."
"Sir, their horses are all good horses. They run very fast and we don't have time to catch them."
"It is indeed a loss that Mokdu was not captured in this battle. However, your Majesty's order is for us to capture the nearby earth cities as soon as possible. Without these cities, Mokdu will be just a lost dog. Count the belongings as soon as possible. Arms, personnel, and order.”
"promise!"
Because of the violent seizure of the city by the giants, Mokdu had no time to prepare, and his lair was breached. The treasures, grain, grass, and weapons accumulated over the years were all left in the warehouse.
In the stone tower, Xin Zhao climbed up the stairs and reached the top floor. He saw a huge number of rows of classics on the closet.
Some are drawn on sheepskin, some are written on bamboo slips, some look very old, and some are written recently...
Xin Zhao turned over it, his face overjoyed.
"This is……"
After running for hundreds of miles, Mokdu stopped in embarrassment, fetched water by the river, and rested temporarily.
At this time, there were less than a hundred people following him.
Mokdu fetched water and brought it to Tudor.
"Teacher, drink some!"
Compared with the way Mokdu and the surrounding soldiers drank, Tudor looked very elegant when drinking water. After drinking half the bag of water, Tudor's expression calmed down slightly.
In the battle not long ago, Tudor was injured. At this time, the wound on his arm had suppurated and needed to be treated as soon as possible. However, his mind was not on it at this time.
The Qin army's offensive was too fast and too fierce, causing all their careful preparations to come to nothing.
"Who is this Zhao Shuang? His subordinates not only have ruthless characters like the descendants of the Moon Wolf, but also giants. The wealth and weapons we have accumulated over the years have all ended up in his hands."
Tudor shook his head.
"Wealth and weapons are not the most important. In my tower, I store a detailed topographic map of the Great Yueshi's territory, the customs and specialties of the Yueshi, laws and regulations, the large and small cities on the Jade Road, and even further west. Information about a small country. These are decades of hard work, but they are the stuff of becoming a king!"
Tudor's words made Mokdu even more gloomy. However, he suppressed the hatred and anger in his heart.
"What do we do now?"
"Our land covers dozens of miles. But without the main city, it is like a tree without roots. It cannot control the surrounding Qiang people and can no longer fight against the Qin army. In fact, those Qiang people who were slaughtered by us may even help Qin The army is against us. This place has become a dangerous place."
When Tudor said this, he already had the answer.
"The only solution now is to go to the Great Yuezhi and seek the protection of Great Xihou Barrett."
"But Barrett is greedy for money. If we are like this, he might not be willing to take us in."
Tudor took out a parchment from his sleeve.
"I brought this out from the tower. It records the war art of the great king more than a hundred years ago. Barrett has always had the ambition to replace the Yuezhi Old King and dominate the Western Region. Give him this, and he will take it in our."
As he spoke, Tudor took another sip of water, and his dry lips became much redder.
"Also, where are the jewelry I asked you to bring?"
"I bring them all. But, teacher, why do you let me bring these gadgets that women like?"
"Barrett's beloved wife Kulak lives in luxury. Although she is young, she is favored by the old Barrett. It can almost be said that Barrett obeys her. Kulak likes precious treasures and brings these from the east. Give her a unique treasure, so that you can stand firm under Barrett and do nothing else."
"I see!"
Wei Di.
"My subordinate failed in his assassination attempt and failed to capture the general Mo Xie. Please punish me, leader."
Long Ji knelt on the ground, but Zhao Gao didn't care in front of her.
"Compared to general Mo Xie, it is more important to know the identity of the leader of the Mohist family. This time, the rift in the Mohist family has begun."
Compared to Long Ji, Zhao Gao knows more and is more secretive.
"What does the leader mean by that female disciple of the Mo family?"
Longji asked tentatively.
"What kind of person is Zhao Shuang? How secretive is the leader of the Mohist family? Will they let this flaw continue to be left open for snares to take advantage of?"
When Long Ji heard this, she suddenly thought of something.
"The leader is a disciple of the Mo family who is familiar with the female disciple."
Long Ji clearly remembered that the intelligence said that a male disciple of the Mo family had protected the female disciple in times of crisis several times.
"Yes, I have not wasted all the training I have given you over the years."
"But what should I do?"
When Long Ji thought of the male disciple's terrifying sword, a trace of fear arose in her heart.
"Sometimes, women have advantages that men don't have. Especially for those who claim to be chivalrous!"
Zhao Gao's gloomy face revealed a slight smile.
