Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 270 Mr. Shang

"There is a courtyard in the north of the city. It is located in a remote corner and no one knows about it." After thinking for a moment, Wei Zhuang remembered the most suitable house.

Then he told Ge Nie the specific location.

"Meet there later." Ge Nie wrote down the address, left the last words, and turned to leave.

Gu Xun and Wei Zhuang just stood there and watched him leave, with no one following him.

Anyway, we'll see you again later, so there's no need to rush.

Gu Xun smiled and asked Wei Zhuang, who was in a complicated mood:

"How are you? Do you feel like this world is too crazy?"

Wei Zhuang lifted his legs and walked outside, asking as he walked:

"Did you already know this?"

"No, I don't know where to go. Even inside Luowang, there has never been any news." Gu Xun decisively shook his head in denial and followed Wei Zhuang, "But I can guess a little bit. It's worth Lu Buwei's big fight, or even giving one. How many people were killed by the envoy?"

Wei Zhuang paused and turned to glance at Gu Xun.

Logically speaking, it was impossible to know, but he still felt that this guy was hiding a lot, and...

"No one would guess this kind of thing about him."

"Hehe, then you don't know." Gu Xun waved his hand and retorted, "A foreign wise man once said that when you eliminate all impossible situations, no matter how unbelievable the rest is, it is It’s the truth.”

"..." Wei Zhuang was silent for a moment, then walked out of the alley, and then replied, "This sentence makes some sense, but... how do you rule out other possibilities?"

"Ah... you can rely on feeling for this." Gu Xun said casually and perfunctorily.

"Huh!" Wei Zhuang snorted, and without saying anything to Gu Xun, he took up Qinggong and headed straight to the north of the city.

Gu Xun followed closely behind.

………………

It didn't take long before the two of them arrived at this remote house together.

The area of ​​the yard is not small, it is quite large. After all, there is a slum in the north of the city, and the land is relatively worthless.

The two of them did not leave the door - it was so late at night, it was impossible for Wei Zhuang to come out with the key to an unused house - after climbing over the wall and entering, they found a rather elegantly repaired courtyard, illuminated by the bright moonlight. It's very charming, but the surrounding rooms are all dark, and the windows look like black holes, which makes the scenery quite unpleasant.

Wei Zhuang didn't care about the scenery, so he found a room, probably a guest room, and went in without locking the door.

Gu Xun naturally followed in.

Although the house must have been unoccupied for a long time, it seemed to be cleaned frequently. The environment was very clean and there was not much dust. After Wei Zhuang entered, he lit all the oil lamps and lanterns, and the house suddenly lit up.

Gu Xun glanced at the furnishings in the room. There were chairs and desks, but no chairs, so he randomly found a spot and slumped down on the ground, half lying down and half sitting.

Wei Zhuang also sat behind a table, placed the shark teeth on it, and sat cross-legged.

"I don't know when they will arrive..." Gu Xun put his head on his hands, looked at the lights in front of his face, and said boredly.

However, Wei Zhuang did not speak, but closed his eyes tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Xun was bored, so he went to harass Wei Zhuang.

Hearing this, Wei Zhuang slowly opened his eyes and replied:

"I have a question." "Huh?" Gu Xun grunted, saying please.

"What does Lu Buwei want to do?"

Gu Xun fiddled with his fingers and replied without raising his head:

"Why else? Kill someone."

"Regicide is a treasonous act. There is no need for him to do such a thing." Wei Zhuang did not agree with Gu Xun's view.

In an era when royal power was supreme, the crime of regicide was not tolerated in the world.

If Lu Buwei really committed such a serious crime of treason, not to mention the Qin Kingdom, even the six Shandong countries would not let Lu Buwei live comfortably. Although they may not send troops to conquer, verbal and written criticism will definitely be inevitable.

After all, who wouldn’t be willing to do something that could not only maintain the authority of the king, but also disgust or even weaken the Qin State?
  "Then let's kill someone with a borrowed knife. There are so many people in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong who want King Qin to die. Anyway, it will be fine if he doesn't die in his own country."

Wei Zhuang didn't refute this time, but he couldn't help shaking his head, indicating that he still didn't quite accept Gu Xun's explanation.

Even killing someone with a borrowed knife is too risky for Lu Buwei. He doesn't need to do this.

No matter how the power struggle between him and the King of Qin ends, his various achievements as the Prime Minister of Qin cannot be erased. It is just a matter of leaving a good reputation to live long in life.

Seeing this, Gu Xun continued:
  "No need to worry about this. No matter what, there is only one most important thing for you and Han Fei, and that is to send the person away safely and not let him die in South Korea."

Wei Zhuang still didn't answer, but the twinkling eyes showed that he was also in a state of confusion at this time.

Of course he knows that people cannot die in South Korea. The question is, can he send people away safely?
  At this moment, there was a strange noise in the yard. Gu Xun and Wei Zhuang both noticed that someone was coming, looked at each other, and jumped out at the same time.

When I took a look in the yard, I saw two figures standing in the corner. Genie in a slim knight uniform stood in front, and behind him was a man in a solid white shirt, a white cape, and a white mask. A young man—it’s said to be a mask, but it actually only covers the area around his eyes.

Gu Xun used the bright moonlight to take a rough look at the future First Emperor. Although his face could not be completely seen, it was basically consistent with the image in the anime in his memory. He had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a thin face, sharp eyes, a high nose bridge, and a long face. His chin and skin also have the luster of a young man, and overall he is a handsome guy.

But there are probably only three in the city, Ji Wuye, Jade Tiger, and Liu Yi...ah, Liu Yi is dead, and now there are only two ugly ghosts.

"Brother!" Wei Zhuang took a step forward and shouted.

"Xiao Zhuang!" Gai Nie also responded cooperatively.

Every time Gu Xun heard the two of them calling so affectionately, he always felt weird. The words they said were obviously normal, but when they came out of their mouths... they just didn't taste right.

"Let's go into the house first." Before the two of them could continue talking, Gu Xun pointed at the house behind him and said, then went in first.

Seeing this, Wei Zhuang winked at Gai Nie and walked back into the house.

Gai Nie and Ying Zheng were left looking at each other. Ying Zheng nodded slightly, Gai Nie understood, and the two immediately walked towards the house.

The four of them then took their seats, Gu Xun was still half-slumped at a table, Wei Zhuang sat alone, and Gai Nie and Ying Zheng sat together.

He really never forgets to protect Ying Zheng.

Gu Xun didn't like nonsense, so he got straight to the point and asked a key question:
  "What should I call this person? Is it His Majesty King Qin, or..."

"Haha, Mr. Gu seems to have guessed my identity a long time ago." Ying Zheng smiled lightly and took off his mask, revealing his complete true face, "But it is not convenient to be called King Qin at this time, please call me... Shang Young Master."

　Who can tell me why that idiot Ji Wuye wanted to kill the King of Qin in Xinzheng City? Did he think he had a long life?

　　Damn it, I can’t think of a reasonable explanation!
  　　If it doesn't work, we can only blur it and ignore this point...
