Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 456 Guo Kai goes offline
  Three days later, Gu Xun and Yan Lingji once again drove the luxurious carriage that had been idle for half a month on the road.

In three days, many changes took place in the city of Handan. The most important one, and the source of all changes, was that Guo Kai, the prime minister of Zhao State who was at the height of his power and had overwhelming power... died.

The current official statement is that Guo Kai died in an assassination, which was a follow-up to the previous assassination, while the theory circulating on the street is that Guo Kai died in a vendetta.

The difference between the two is that the former may not be the one Guo Kaixian provoked, it may just be that he simply blocked the way of some people, while the latter must be the sin he committed first.

It was rumored that the day before Guo Xiangguokai was killed, he had sent a group of men to hunt down someone... It was probably some people, but unfortunately it failed, and he eventually incurred revenge. He was assassinated in the Prime Minister's Mansion that night. Among them, his whole family also died together.

Of course, there is another version that the Prime Minister's Mansion recruited robbers, because not only did people die that night, but most of the property in the Mansion was also robbed.

But obviously, these versions are not correct, but they all have something to do with it. The assassination that day was the beginning of everything. Guo Kai's money was indeed taken into consideration, and the rumor of revenge, as far as the content is concerned, is All correct, just incomplete.

The actual situation is that after Yue Shen finished chatting with Gu Xun that day, he returned to the Yin Yang family stronghold and arranged for manpower. Later, he and Mrs. Xiang and his sisters deliberately showed up in the city. Although Guo Kai began to reduce the manpower for the search, it was not completely completed. After giving up, I naturally got the news. Of course, I sent a large number of troops to surround and kill the three people of Luna.

The result of this operation is self-evident. Naturally, it was a complete failure. Not only did the three of them successfully escape from the encirclement, but they even staged a scene of being seriously injured and barely escaping, making Guo Kai mistakenly think that the three of them were At the end of his battle, he sent extra manpower to search the whole city, and at the same time relaxed the guards at his house.

In the end, the Yin Yang family disciples, who are all good at hiding their lives, rushed into the Prime Minister's Mansion in the middle of the night, eliminated Guo Kai without making any noise, and moved away the money in the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight, totaling 130,000 gold in cash, as well as some other valuable items. Luxury goods, Luna promised that after selling these things, she would give Gu Xun another 20,000 gold, making up the total of 150,000 gold.

In fact, the most valuable things in Guo Kai's hands are his land deeds and house deeds. Those things are worth at least two to three hundred thousand gold in total. Unfortunately, those things are tied to his identity, so it is useless to take them away.

In any case, Guo Kai, the once-famous Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, is now completely cold, and he still died from too much money...

Zhao Wangqian found out everything and knew that it was the Yin and Yang family who did the trick. After all, he was the King of Zhao and this was Handan. Moreover, the Moon God did not hide his identity specially, but Zhao Wangqian could only communicate with the people who were still alive. Like Guo Kai, he secretly accepted the loss of being dumb, because on the surface, it was Guo Kai who attacked Luna and the others first...

It is impossible for Guo Kai to tell Zhao Wangqian that he took money from the Yinyang family and stole things from your Zhao royal family, but was tricked. Therefore, his excuse to Zhao Wangqian at that time was to capture the person behind the assassination of him, Zhao Wangqian. Qian Qian naturally sent a team of forbidden troops to him, plus a group of martial arts masters raised by Guo Kai in his own house, and they attacked the Moon God in a mighty manner. Who would have thought that so many people could not keep the Moon God III? Man, Guo Kai himself is cool at the speed of light.

As soon as Guo Kai died, Zhao Wangqian was naturally furious and mobilized all the people to investigate the matter. The final answer was that the murderer was the Yin Yang family, and the reason was that Guo Kaixian suddenly killed the Yin Yang family.

Zhao Wangqian was dumbfounded. He now had no evidence to link Guo Kai's previous assassination to the Yin and Yang family. In other words, Guo Kai's story was untenable, and it was reasonable for Luna and the others to retaliate.

The Yin and Yang family is backed by the towering tree of Qin State, and Qin and Zhao are feuding. There is no tenable reason. Even as the king of Zhao, he has no way to retaliate against the other party, at most within the borders of Zhao State. The forces that suppress the Yin Yang family cannot even do it openly, they can only do it secretly.

Therefore, in the end, the people of Handan got such rhetoric. It can be regarded as Zhao Wangqian trying to save his respect...

……………    "Shopkeeper, how long will it take for us to get there?" Yan Lingji looked through the carriage curtains with some interest at the long-lost natural scenery outside... In fact, there is nothing interesting to see. It is approaching winter, and the vegetation Most of them are dead, the branches and leaves are withered, and they are dim and dull. As far as the eye can see, it is all a dim and desolate scene.

However, after spending half a month in the city looking at living people made of bricks and stones, it was still a bit refreshing to be back in nature again.

Gu Xun touched his chin, opened the atlas and made a careful assessment, "At our current traveling speed, it will take at least nearly a month to reach Yanmen County."

"A month?" Yan Lingji frowned and considered the issue of time, and couldn't help but wonder, "It won't arrive until half a month later...will the battle be over by then?"

"Hmm... Logically speaking, no, the war shouldn't be that fast." Gu Xun didn't understand very well, and said vaguely and half-analysed, "It will take time for Li Mu to rush back to Yanmen County. At this time, even if he is working day and night, If you stop and hurry up, you will only just get back to where you are before you have time to really fight back."

"Generally speaking, when dealing with the wolf clan, we must stay tight and defend according to the Great Wall. We will fight against the opponent until the cold winter comes, and the opponent will naturally withdraw."

"Calculating this way, we should still have a month or two."

"But everyone says that Li Mu is the Northland Military God. What if he can defeat the wolves in just three attacks?" Yan Lingji can't believe Gu Xun. About the war... do you understand?

"But his military policy for guarding the Northland these years has been to defend with a strong wall." Gu Xun further explained, "He has no reason to take the initiative. Hard expenditure is the best choice. It only takes two short months to defeat him. The wolf tribe returned without success, and he could even take advantage of the wolf tribe's retreat to launch a counterattack and harvest part of the wolf tribe's troops."

"……hope so."

"...To be on the safe side, let's speed up the journey." Although he was confident, Gu Xun also felt that it was not good to delay so much, so he finally suggested.

"Speed ​​up... won't it be like when we went to Xianyang?" Yan Lingji asked.

Now they were traveling much faster than before. Otherwise, it would have taken at least two or three months to go from Yanmen County to Handan, which was thousands of miles away. According to the previous speed, which was not faster than human walking.

"No, it's just not as comfortable as it is now." Gu Xun shook his head and denied.

When he rushed to Xianyang, it was because Ying Zheng was in a hurry. No matter how bad the road was, the carriage would fly up. The quality of the carriage itself was average, with zero shock absorption. Even martial arts masters could not withstand the fatal bumps. Now this carriage is A luxury version of the top-of-the-line BMW, with technology from the Gongshu family, materials sponsored by Yingzheng, huge space, four-horse drive, stable chassis, and top-notch shock absorption. The effect is incredible, as long as you don't race on broken roads that you can't run at all. Big problem.
