Warring States Odyssey

  "What a heavy aura! General, is he the one who descended from the heavens with the firestone?"

  Li Mu nodded and said: "It's him, but I didn't expect that he would become like this. Could it be that all these Qin soldiers were killed by him alone?"

  When Li Mu and others rushed back to the battlefield, the sky was already somewhat bright, and the situation had undergone a huge change. On the ground, there were at least 200 corpses of Qin soldiers, most of whom were either dismembered or beheaded. There were also many broken guns, spears, swords and other weapons.

  At this time, the Qin army was still engaged in fierce battles with the highlands.

  However, the Gao Yuan in front of them had completely changed. His clothes were tattered and stained with blood, his eyes glowed with a fierce red light, and his hair was disheveled, exuding an aura of savagery. He looked like a killing god incarnate. The Qin army still had nearly two hundred men, but they too seemed to have lost their nerve in the face of Gao Yuan's ferocity. Although they surrounded him on all sides, not one of them dared to attack him. On the contrary, whenever Gao Yuan took a step in any direction, the Qin soldiers in that direction would retreat in fear. Even without reinforcements arriving, it was likely that the Qin army wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

  Zhao Xuandao said: "General, this person's killing aura is too heavy, doesn't seem like a good person. Probably not the one the teacher mentioned."

  Li Mu shook his head and said, "The person who can fall with the meteor is probably him. I see he has become like this, there must be a reason. Anyway, let's first rescue him from the Qin army and bring him back to the camp before talking about it. Zhao Xuan, can you control him?"

  Zhao Xuan said: "General, I'll do my best."

  Li Mu nodded and said, "Alright, it's all up to you now."

  Zhao Xuan also stopped speaking, his legs tightly clamped on the horse's belly. The warhorse under him let out a loud whinny and charged towards the highland surrounded by the Qin army. Following closely behind, the Zhao soldiers also rushed out to attack. The Qin army had already been intimidated by the highland, and upon seeing the approaching Zhao soldiers, they immediately scattered in all directions, quickly opening up the encirclement of the highland. Meanwhile, Zhao Xuan's long spear pointed towards the highland from afar.

  At this time, the plateau's eyes were filled with blood, and his mind had only one thought, which was to kill. He stared at Zhao Xuan who was rushing towards him, and his ferocious aura became even more intense. With a swing of his military sword, he charged forward, meeting Zhao Xuan's galloping horse head-on.

  In the blink of an eye, the two had approached each other. Zhao Xuan's long spear shot out a spear flower, swiftly stabbing towards Gao Yuan's chest, while Gao Yuan also swung his sword fiercely, chopping towards Zhao Xuan's spearhead.

  The blade struck the tip of Zhao Gan's spear, but instead of a metallic clang, it hit nothing but air. The blow had struck an illusion. Gaoyuan was shocked, this being the first time he had misjudged since gaining his special powers from the amulet. Zhao Xuan's long spear thrust out again, and this time Gaoyuan could not dodge in time. He was stabbed through the chest, and immediately fell to the ground, crying out in pain before losing consciousness.

  "Ah!"

  Gao Yuan suddenly sat up, feeling his heart beating extremely fast and sweat all over his forehead. After calming down for a moment, Gao Yuan's first reaction was to wonder where he was.

  He wiped the sweat and rubbed his eyes, and Gao Yuan observed his surroundings. He found himself in a tent, lying on a simple bed covered with a coarse linen quilt, and his body was wrapped in white cloth. A few strands of sunlight passed through the gaps in the fabric, illuminating the interior of the tent. The furnishings were very simple: there was a grass mat on the ground, a small table beside the bed, but no chairs; only a few straw cushions were stacked at the edge of the table.

  Gao Yuan patted his head, and gradually recalled the past. He had been on a plane that crossed over, crashed to the ground, met Li Mu, encountered the Qin army, went through a bloody battle, and in this battle, he seemed to have gained some kind of great power, killing many Qin soldiers. Later, someone rode a horse with a gun, charging towards him... Thinking of this, Gao Yuan only then noticed that his amulet was not on his chest. Gao Yuan's heart skipped a beat, subconsciously touching the edge of his pillow, fortunately, the amulet was right there. So Gao Yuan also let out a sigh of relief, realizing that crossing over to this era and gaining mysterious powers seemed to be related to this amulet.

  At this time, the plateau waved its hand and that mysterious power had disappeared. The plateau also vaguely remembered that it was defeated by a knight riding a horse with a long spear. After obtaining that mysterious power, it seemed to have lost control, many actions were done directly without going through the brain, and of course, there was still a kind of killing pleasure in the heart.

  Just as Gao Yuan was lost in thought, he saw the tent flap open and Li Mu walk in from outside. Although he was still wearing his armor, he wasn't wearing a helmet, and his hair was tied up in a knot. On either side of Li Mu were two people: on the left was a tall, muscular man who Gao Yuan recognized as the knight who had defeated him; on the right was a girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a fitted leather armor and with two round buns tied up in her hair, looking spirited and beautiful.

  Jian sat up on the highland and Li Mu smiled: "Are you awake?"

  Gao Yuan hastily said: "General." As he spoke, he was about to stand up.

  Li Mu smiled and stretched out his hand to gesture, saying: "You're injured, no need to get up, just sit on the bed." As he spoke, he picked up a cushion and sat down beside the bed, then said to the two people beside him: "You both sit down too."

  The two of them sat down, and Li Mu pointed to the man on the left and said: "This is Zhao Xuan, my house servant." He looked at the young girl again and said: "This is my adopted daughter Ying Hong. By the way, I still don't know your honorable surname and name?"

  "My name is Gao Yuan."

  Li Mu nodded and said: "Gao Yuan, can you tell me where you're from and why you fell with the meteor?"

  Gao Yuan smiled wryly, not knowing how to respond. Could he really tell Li Mu that he was from the 21st century and had fallen off a plane? But how could he say it to Li Mu?

  Li Mu also saw his hesitant look and smiled: "Isn't it okay to say? Is there something that's hard to express? If so, then don't need to say it."

  Zhao Xuan and Li Yinghong listened, both with unpleasant expressions on their faces. Gao Yuan had no choice but to say: "It's not that there's something difficult to say, it's just that I'm afraid General will not believe it if I say it."

  Li Mu smiled and said: "Go ahead and say it, whether you believe it or not, we have to listen first."

  Seeing Li Mu say this, Gao Yuan could only think of an excuse and made up a half-true, half-false story. Of course, he didn't dare to say that he was from the future, but instead said that he was from another world, swept away by a strong gust of wind. As for why he fell with the shooting star, Gao Yuan couldn't explain clearly either, and could only attribute everything to the amulet, which he also handed over to Li Mu to see.

  Li Mu looked at the amulet for a while, and of course, he couldn't see anything special about it. Although he didn't comment on what Gao Yuan said, Zhao Xuan and Li Yinghong both had disbelieving expressions on their faces. But since they didn't believe him, Gao Yuan couldn't do anything about it. Anyway, he had already said everything earlier, so whether or not they believed him was up to them.

  At this time, Gao Yuan asked: "The general seems to know that I will land there?"

  Li Mu returned the amulet to Gao Yuan, nodded and said: "Yes, because my teacher told me that at that time and place, a star would descend to earth, which can change the fate of heaven, so I was waiting for it."

  Gao Yuan was taken aback and said: "Does the General think I am the reincarnation of a star general?"

  Li Mu smiled and said: "You are the one who landed at that location, and you came down with a shooting star. So, apart from you, who else is there?"

  Kougen couldn't help but smile wryly, as he indeed had nothing to say. Just then, Kougen suddenly thought of something - in the past, he had seen many stories about people crossing over into ancient times, where they would either become kings or generals, and create a new era. So, if he had crossed over into this era, was it possible that he was the one who was supposed to change the course of history? They were currently in the late Warring States period, probably not far from the time when Qin would conquer the six states. Was he meant to alter the course of this historical event?

  Just as Gao Yuan was lost in thought, Li Mu said: "Gao Yuan, if you have nowhere to go, why not temporarily stay in my camp for now and make plans after your injury heals?"

  To be honest, Gaoyuan really had nowhere else to go now, and he also had a pretty good impression of Li Mu, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

  Li Mu glanced at the table and said, "I see that your clothes are all tattered and it's hard to wear them anymore. I'll have someone send a set of new clothes over for you in a bit."

  Gao Yuan Road: "Thank you, General."

  At this time, Li Mu drew out the military knife of Gao Yuan from his waist, pulled out the scabbard and smiled: "Your knife is indeed very special, but yesterday on the battlefield, I saw the power of this knife, it's really a good knife. To be honest, when you were unconscious, I tried your knife and cut off my two treasured swords in a row. It seems that what you said about its origin may not be fake."

  Gao Yuan sighed and said, "Unfortunately, I only have this knife left now. Otherwise, I could give General some other proof."

  Li Mu put the knife back in its scabbard and placed it on the table, saying: "Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring over your clothes. Just wait for a bit."

  Gao Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he said: "May I ask General, what year is it this year?"

  "This is the eighth year since King Zhao moved."

  Gao Yuan was taken aback, he wasn't a history expert, all he knew was that Qin Wang Zheng took the throne in 246 BC, and the conquest of the six states began in 230 BC, which was the seventeenth year of Qin Wang Zheng's reign. Although the last king of Zhao was indeed King Jia of Zhao, but he couldn't calculate what year it was in relation to King Jia of Zhao's seventh year, so he asked again: "So, what year is it in Qin Wang Zheng's reign?"

  Li Mu felt somewhat surprised but still replied: "This is the seventeenth year of King Zheng of Qin."

  Gao Yuan was stunned, unexpectedly this year is the 17th year of Qin Wang Zheng, BC 230, which is also the beginning of the destruction of the six nations by Qin. If following the normal development of history, the weakest country among the Warring States, Han, will be destroyed by Qin this year, and the next country to be destroyed by Qin will be Zhao. That is to say, whether it is Zhao or Li Muo, there is not much time left.
