Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 322 Epilogue - Continued
  Regarding Luo Sheng, Ying Zheng now has only one opinion - once he returns to power, he must clean it thoroughly.

He even included Que Xie, who was currently on his side, in the purge. Of course, others would definitely be purged until death, but after all, Que Xie was a meritorious person. As long as he did not commit suicide, Ying Zheng It will only get him out of the trap.

Li Si said nothing after seeing this. Since the monarch had made a decision, he, a minister, would not question it.

This is his way of being an official - completely obeying the monarch before touching his own vital interests.

This way of acting is destined to fail him as a critic, and he will only jump between capable ministers, powerful ministers, treacherous ministers, and sycophants. The specific situation mainly depends on the character of the king.

At this time, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang finally arrived.

Ge Nie was naturally most concerned about whether Ying Zheng was okay, so he immediately went to find him.

"Master Shang." Gai Nie looked at Ying Zheng and said hello after confirming that he was fine.

Wei Zhuang is definitely not that concerned about Ying Zheng. He is more concerned about the big hole on the side.

This scene, which seemed to have been ravaged by sky fire - the charred ground, the burned vegetation, and the fine black soot - looked somewhat familiar to him.

After observing for a few times, he turned to Feiyan and Ehuang, and asked in a dry and cold voice:

"The bolide just now was Gu Xun?"

E Huang snorted and turned his head, ignoring him at all, while Fei Yan quietly nodded slightly.

After receiving a positive answer, Wei Zhuang completely ignored Ehuang and turned back to face the pit again.

Gai Nie walked over and couldn't help but exclaimed:
  "Is this his strength? No wonder..."

No wonder the other party seems to be indifferent to everything.

Ge Nie did not say all the emotions he felt later.

Gai Nie never meant to underestimate Gu Xun. On the contrary, he had tried his best to overestimate Gu Xun's true strength, but the strength that the other party finally showed was still far beyond his expectation.

Wei Zhuang ignored his senior brother's rare exclamation, looked at the pit, and murmured:

"He became stronger again...or didn't he use all his strength last time?"

Wei Zhuang's eyes slowly lowered and he stopped looking at the pit, but he had a guess in his heart - he didn't use all his strength in the last battle in Leng Palace.

Of course... In fact, Gu Xun didn't use all his strength this time. On the contrary, he reserved more strength.

In order to prevent accidentally injuring Ying Zheng and others on the side, he finally dissipated most of Changhong Guanri's strength, otherwise the diameter of the pit would have more than doubled.

The last fire whirlwind was directed towards people and did not harm the land, so the ground was simply roasted. However, the resulting fiery storm almost illuminated the entire city. In comparison, The movement caused by the rainbow shining through the sun is much smaller.

It’s just that this pit looks more visually impactful.

………………

Gu Xun, Zi Nu, and Nong Yu stood beside the carriage, and Jing Salamander stood under a tree a little further away. Yan Lingji and Mingzhu couldn't see anyone, but there was a faint sound coming from the carriage. The sound of voices indicated their positions.

The two of them still haven't calmed down, which is why Jingli didn't get on the carriage, for fear of disturbing the child.

Gu Xun also had nothing to say to the two of them. They wouldn't listen no matter what they said, so they had to stab each other. Why should women make things difficult for women?
  Purple Girl listened to the shadowy voice and teased with a sweet smile:
  "It's hardest to accept the kindness of beauties, Doctor Gu. It seems that these two beauties of yours will add a lot of interest to you."

Nong Yu stood nearby, a little shy about her sister talking about men and women, but at the same time she couldn't help but want to snicker. In the end, her face turned red and she covered her mouth, her body trembling slightly.

"Oh, I just hope they won't get up and tear my carriage apart."

Gu Xun grinned twice.

Zi Nu only made fun of this and then returned to business:

"Are you planning to go to Xianyang with King Qin?"

"Probably, I've already rescued him once, and I definitely can't let him get into trouble on the way again, so thank you."

If the current situation develops strictly according to the plot he knows, then Gu Xun probably won't follow Ying Zheng. After all, nothing will happen to him, so why bother following him? It would be nice to just take a stroll along the way.

But now the situation is obviously different. Originally there was only one killer named Xuan Jian, but five of them died in his own hands before... Who knows if there will be another moth in the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army...

"I... don't want you to have too much interaction with King Qin. Your temperament is not suitable for the court. It is not a good thing for you to be involved too much with a king... Although he can't hurt you, you also know that life is not just Fight and kill.”

The purple girl's gray-purple eyes flickered, and she spoke softly, her tone full of worry.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to become an official in the court, but I just want to have a good relationship with him. It will be easier in Xianyang." Gu Xun stroked Zi Nu's long purple hair with his right hand and comforted him warmly.

"You always have your own ideas." Zi Nu raised her head and looked at Gu Xun, feeling helpless, "Then just be careful."

"I'm sure nothing will happen to me. It's you who need to be careful." Gu Xun warned, "After I leave, the recent chaos in South Korea should gradually dissipate. Next, the only thing Liusha needs to face is a broken night. I guess there is no danger, but you still have to be careful. If you leave any rough work that needs to be done to Wei Zhuang and the others, you can just stay in Zilanxuan."

Zi Nu just looked at him with a smile, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

She didn't want to deal with Gu Xun, so she couldn't give a definite answer.

Seeing this, Gu Xun showed the same helpless expression as Zi Nu just now, "After I leave, Xuan Jian will stay to protect you and obey your orders. You can leave anything to him."

"Xuanjian... I didn't expect that the former killer would turn into a protector. What an interesting fate."

Zi Nu sighed and sighed with a faint smile.

She was not surprised that Xuanjian was the bodyguard Gu Xun mentioned before.

Gu Xun has no power under his command, so it is basically unrealistic to conjure up a top master out of thin air who can allow him to protect himself with confidence. Xuan Jian, who was cured of his madness and wants to escape from the trap, is undoubtedly the most likely candidate.

"Anyway, the outward appearance is the same. It's just that he used to take the initiative to find people to kill, but now he passively counterattacks and kills. He kills anyway. He is a professional."

Gu Xun replied indifferently.

Well... of course the external appearance is the same, but the inner essence is completely different. In the past, he was just a sword slave and a killing tool, but now he is a swordsman and a living person.

"Ah... By the way, you don't have to worry about the snare behind his back. It should be unable to meddle in its own business for a long time in the future. You can safely call on Xuanjian." Gu Xun suddenly heard Xuanjian's identity. It’s still a question, so I added another explanation.

"Yeah." Zi Nu didn't say anything, snorted softly, still looking at Gu Xun quietly, her eyes full of tenderness.
