When the five nations' Sima Shang, Han Jue, Su Li and the others saw Lord Chu's actions, they believed it to be true. It was likely that Jing Ke did not leave the military authority of the six nations entirely in the hands of Lord Chu and did not ignore it. From the looks of it, they were each much more at ease. Thus, they nodded slightly, and the expression on their faces gradually relaxed.

"Since that's the case, why don't we make an early marriage alliance and have Wang shi, who is suing against the unscrupulous violent Qin, advance to the west as soon as possible and smash his way into Xianyang City?" Since Han Jue had already made up his mind, he immediately suggested the matter of swearing an oath with his blood. After all, it was not easy to succeed in doing so, and if he did not strike while the iron was hot, then the return of his country would come to naught.

"Heh heh, Marshal Han's words are exactly what the widows want. The widows have long prepared their sacrificial instruments and are waiting for all of your allies to come onstage and make a blood alliance so that they can defend Qin Thief together." Upon hearing that Han Jue wanted to join the alliance, King Chukoulie immediately followed his wishes and spoke to the other leaders.

"We are willing to listen to your summons and enter the stage to join your alliance." The loser below the stage had originally been heavily bribed by Chunshen, so he had to do his best to speak up for Lord Chu. As soon as Lord Chu finished speaking, he immediately stood up and slowly walked up the stage.

When the other marshals saw that victory was already on the virtual tortoise platform, they could not refuse. They followed closely behind the latter and ascended the virtual tortoise platform one after another.

Seeing that everyone was in position, Lord Chu raised his hand, signaling the eunuchs below the stage to bring up the tools needed to make a blood alliance. Of course, there was no lack of sacrificial objects like cows, sheep, worms, and so on. Then, there was the incense burner, the red oil candle, the ceremonial knife, and the horsetail whisk, which were all placed one after another.

King Chu and the five marshal, each holding an ox ear, slowly walked to the front of the stage. King Chu held the cow ear in both hands and held it respectfully over his head, but he did not dare to look up at the Heavenly Court.

"God, I am willing to listen to the words of the oligarchs:

Today was a chaotic day. The thieves were tyrannical, and everywhere they went, they would commit adultery and plunder. Their evilness was well-known, and they violated the heaven's will. They were subjected to the wrath of both gods and people, reprimanding them furiously. The Six Nations were unable to bear the humiliation and were willing to make an appointment as brothers to commit heinous acts against Qin. We, Xiong Quan, and all our allies swear an oath to the Gods that we will ally with you and become friends, sharing the good fortune. If you have any second thoughts, then you will be exterminated by the heavens and turned into dust! "

"If there are any second thoughts, the heavens will destroy the earth and heaven, turning them into fine powder!" After Lord Chu's generous speech, the other marshals repeated the last few vows loudly to show their sincerity.

When Lord Chu heard everyone finish, he slowly put down the oxen ears above his head and took the alcohol from the servant. He bowed towards the sky and drank it all in one gulp.

When the five marshals saw the situation unfold, they too raised a goblet of blood wine and drank it up after bowing to the heavens.

"Good, after this ceremony, the Oligarchs have formed a brotherly relationship with all of you. From today onwards, we will advance and retreat together, and assist each other." King Chu slowly put down the wine bottle and continued to ask, "Currently, Wang Jian's army has already assembled the Great Yang Army and is currently confronting me, General Chu, with Xiang Yan. The two of them had been in a stalemate for more than a month. However, the day before yesterday, General Xiang had urgently reported to me that the Yang food was insufficient, and I was afraid that I might be caught off guard. "Since the six nations have allied themselves as brothers, we should lead our allies to the Great Sun to send reinforcements. Firstly, we should be able to help General Xiang to guard the Great Sun, and secondly, we should be able to coordinate with him from both inside and outside.

"The Great Yang is the only barrier preventing the Qin Nation from advancing to the east. If the Great Yang loses, then Chu Ying will be in danger. There is no time to lose, immediately order the three armies to gather and send out the sun to surround Wang Jian's army in the sun before he has made sufficient preparations. With the combined attack of the six armies, he will be defeated. " Sima Shang knew how to use the army, hearing Lord Chu's question, he immediately responded.

"That's right, General Si Ma's words are reasonable. We hope that you can give us an order as soon as possible, and we will obey your orders." When Su Li heard Sima Shang's words, he also echoed his sentiments.

"Good, if that's the case, then that oligarch will immediately give the order: The Acropolis Army will take a break today, and the men will prepare food for us to eat. The three armies will prepare food and send their troops to the Great Sun to destroy Qin Thief immediately, and we will not return!"

If we don't destroy the traitor Qin, I swear I won't back down!" The words that King Chuchu had spoken had aroused the hot-blooded fighting spirit of the allied army of the six nations. Their morale was immediately lifted. Because many of the brothers from the six nations had died under the Qin's hoof, when the soldiers heard that Qin Thief would be exterminated, they all gnashed their teeth and rushed to be the first to exclaim loudly. They even couldn't help but raise the halberds in their hands.

As he listened to the thunderous cheers, he felt extremely proud of himself. This scene was even more grand and spectacular than when he had ascended the throne back then. He even felt that he was like the god of the earth, able to reach out and touch anything within the boundaries of the Nine Continents. He also finally understood why the Duke of Qin wanted to take the strategy of advancing to the east and was prepared to swallow the Six Nations in one go. This was because the feeling of superiority of having everyone in the four seas submitting was something no monarch could refuse.

After receiving the position of a general, the honor of King Chukoulie was greatly increased. He immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare food and send out troops. Therefore, in order to defeat the Qin Army tomorrow, the soldiers of the six empires had to eat and drink early and rest, preparing for their journey to the Sixth Mountain.

In order to let the soldiers sleep more soundly, in the middle of the night, the Nihility Turtle raised a soft and distant zither music. The zither music was melodious but not loud, as if it was a light rain under the spring night, moistening all the living creatures on the ground. Such a beautiful sound was like a heavenly music to the world. And the only person who could play such a distant divine tune was this Clear River Zither Hero.

Gao Jianli did not rest even for a moment under this moonlit night, but only closed his eyes slightly. His fingers lightly moved each string, and each time a wisp of music was released, it was like smoke, allowing him to wander about by himself, as if he was already out of this world.

A song disappeared into thin air, and the zither music stopped continuously. The night once again descended into silence.

"Pah pah pah." Three short, rhythmic claps broke the tranquility of Yue Ye, and obviously interrupted Gao Jiu's train of thoughts.

"A good song, a good song. This song only exists because it's so rare to hear of it in the mortal world. Big Brother Gao is truly worthy of being a Zither Master." After the applause, it was followed by a soft and gentle praise.

Hearing this familiar voice, Gao Jianli hurriedly raised his head to confirm that person's identity. As he raised his head, he was pleasantly surprised, "So it's because Miss Gongsheng has arrived."

"Gongsheng Rong has come uninvited, I'm sorry to bother you, Big Brother Gao." Gong Huorong felt that she was being a bit presumptuous, so she bowed slightly to apologize.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. It's also hard to sleep late at night, so I found a quiet place to get drunk with the zither music. On the other hand, Miss Gongsheng, why are you wandering around here?

"Haha, that's not it. It's just that I was attracted by the beautiful sound of the zither and I couldn't help but follow the sound path to come here."

With a big smile on her face, Gong Huorong casually explained to Gao Jianli.

"It seems that I, Gao Jianli, am the one bothering you." Hearing this, Gao Jianli felt extremely embarrassed.

"How could that be? Big Brother Gao, Qin Yuyi, is mentally preoccupied. You don't even have the time to enjoy yourself, so how can you be bothered by her? " Seeing that Gao Jianli seemed ashamed, Gong Huorong hurriedly waved her hands to deny it.

Gao Jianli saw that Gongsheng Rong didn't have any intention of rebuking her, so he smiled in return and continued to stroke the zither in his hands. However, this time, it was only a string that tapped out a single tune. Moreover, it was intermittent. It paused again and again, as if it didn't belong to the same tune.

"Although Big Brother Gao's zither music was beautiful just now, it clearly contained a trace of worry and guilt. Could it be that Big Brother Gao still has a grudge against the matter of him giving up his position to King Chu, Xiong Quan?" Gong Huorong listened attentively to the zither music played by Gao Jianli. She could tell that there was something unusual about the music, so she tried asking with concern.

"In the past, I was unable to hide anything from Brother Jing. But now that Brother Jing is no longer by my side, I never would have thought that I was unable to hide anything from the intelligent and virtuous young lady, Gong Cheng." When Gao Jianli heard this question, he mocked himself for a while before changing his previous mocking expression into a very serious one. He said, "That's right, the reason I'm here to speak up for Lord Chu is not because of Brother Jing, but because I acted on my own accord and passed down Brother Jing's orders to the dukes of the fifth route. I don't know if this is the right or wrong thing to do, so I hesitated."

When Gong Huorong heard Gao Jianli's worried words, she only whispered to him, trying to persuade him: "Actually, Big Brother Gao, you don't have to blame yourself too much. You faking the alliance master token is also forced by the circumstances, I believe Big Brother Jing will understand. In the current world, the six nations are weak and their hearts are at odds. If Lord Chu changes his mind because of the matter of the appointment, then the alliance of the six nations will fall apart because of it. In this way, Big Brother Jing's painstakingly managed plan of rejecting Qin in cooperation between the six nations will end in failure.

Gao Jianli loosened his grip on his zither, feeling somewhat relieved. With a hint of pleasant surprise, he said, "I didn't think that Miss Gong Lun would have such foresight. I feel much better now that you've said that."

"At the Alliance Assembly today, I helped Big Brother Gao deceive the crowd and helped that Lord Chu take his appointed position. If Big Brother Gao is to be blamed in the future, then wouldn't I, Gong Zhuang Rong, be an accomplice as well?" Gong Zhuang Rong smiled at Gao Jianli, but there seemed to be a hint of playfulness in his smile.

It was rare for her to behave in such a naughty and unruly manner. Gao Jianli understood that the reason why she said those words was to ease the worry in his heart, so naturally, he did not reject her good intentions. He also smiled slightly, but he did not say anything.

The strings of the zither were like obedient little birds on his fingertips, emitting all sorts of beautiful music with jingling sounds. However, this time, the music was much more cheerful than the previous ones, yet it did not lose its tranquility and elegance. Gao Jianli knew that this piece of music was not only for Gong Huorong, but for himself as well. It was for all the things around him, because today was the first step in the Sword Alliance's grand plan of rejecting Qin Chuan. He needed to play a song about this piece of music to pray that everything would go smoothly on their journey in the future.

Just like this, after the generals of all six nations swore an oath under Chu Ying's blood, their strategy of rejecting the Qin was finally successful under the betrothal of Gao Jianli, Gong Huorong, and the others. In order to be able to play the role of an ally of the six kingdoms as soon as possible, King Chukoulie, as the general, immediately gave the order to enter the Great Sun. After receiving the orders from King Chu, the troops of the six dukes immediately raised their banners and reorganized their soldiers, making their way towards Ju Yang City in a formidable array. However, Wang Jian, who was still confronting Xiang Yan at this moment, hadn't expected this powerful army formation was like a raging river, roaring and attacking him.

"Great General, our army has confronted General Chu for such a long time. Why is it that the great general has not yet given the order to attack Great Yang City?" Qiang, seeing that Wang Ba was not willing to send out his troops, would talk about this every day.

"General Qiang doesn't know that this Xiang Yan from the Chu Clan is not an ordinary person. He has the courage of tens of thousands of men, and he also has a clever plan." General Qiang does not know that this Xiang Yan from the Chu Clan is not an ordinary person, and that this Xiang Yan from the Chu Clan is not an ordinary person. "Now that the morale of our troops is low, if we rashly rush into the Great Yang, I'm afraid we won't get any advantage at all." Wang Jian was standing at the entrance of the camp, looking at the huge tower of the Great Sun City, which was filled with flags. He spoke very cautiously.

When Wang Jian was fighting himself, he had already suffered a huge loss at Moke Manor. Now that he was leading his troops in battle, it was no longer the same as before. His previously arrogant and domineering demeanor had changed to one of caution and meticulousness, fearing that he would be completely annihilated if anything went wrong. In addition, he had the help of the Mo family's brother-in-law, a group of martial arts experts. Now, he could only rely on the few scattered generals under his command. Thus, from a winning perspective, he had even less confidence. He also knew that the reason he had been able to come back this time was because the war between Qin and Chu was too tense. It was because of this that the Duke of Qin, Ying Zheng, had been forced to call him back.

"Even so, it has been more than a month since the Great General's attack. If the battle continues, I'm afraid our army will be trapped here due to lack of food and supplies." Faced with Wang Jian's explanation, Qiang Qian still appeared to be worried.

However, when Wang Jian heard Qiang's words, he was not worried. Instead, he smiled and said calmly, "I'm afraid that we won't be the first one to collapse soon. The General Xiang will be the one facing us instead."

Qiang Zi saw that Wang Jian was laughing and talking like this and could not help but let out a word from his mouth. "Oh?"
