Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 470 The continued journey

A few years ago, Lao Tuqi, as the only remaining great sage of the Wolf Clan, had a high status. He could have lived a comfortable life under Touman, the king's chanyu, but he resolutely abandoned Touman and took refuge in the army. Touman regards his eldest son Modu as a thorn in his side.

It was precisely because of Old Tu Qi's help that Maodun was able to escape from Dayue clan alone and return to the wolf clan with a narrow escape.

And the reason why he made this choice was because he saw Touman, or Modun's future - Touman would die at the hands of Modun, and Modun would become the new wolf king and lead the wolf clan to the future. greater glory.

However, the future has changed, and Touman, who was supposed to die at the hands of Mao Dun many years later, suddenly buried his bones in Yanmen... Old Tu Qi was very surprised. Although his prophecy was very random, he rarely got effective results. Information, but he has never missed it. This is the first time. Of course, the first thing he thinks of is the dark hole he 'saw' a few days ago.

Mao Dun didn't understand these weird things, variables, darkness, etc. There was only one thing he wanted to know:

"Old Tuqi, what do you think I should do next?"

Old Tu Qi didn't think much about this question and immediately replied, "Of course I will rush back to the royal court as soon as possible and inherit the throne of Shanyu."

"But Mr. Yan..." Mao Dun looked a little confused.

He was not afraid of difficulties, he just habitually wanted to see if the old Tu Qi would give suggestions - he rarely directly interfered with Maodun's actions, but once he did, it was often important and necessary.

"Modun..." Old Tu Qi rarely called Modun by his name, and responded with a trembling but sincere voice, "You will eventually become the new wolf king on the grassland and lead the wolf tribe to glory!"

"I understand!" After receiving such a reply, Mao Dun finally calmed down and made a decision.

Return to the Wolf Clan Royal Court immediately!

The familiar carriage walked on an unfamiliar road. After the thrilling battle, countless lives were lost, but the journey continued. After Gu Xun and Yan Lingji stayed in Shanwu for a while, they declined the invitation to ride with Suzaku. The six-fingered black man headed to Jidu once again drove his beloved pony carriage on the road.

The reason for rejection is very simple, just to see more of the scenery on the road. As for the temptation that ordinary people can't refuse, such as riding the Suzaku machine to fly to the sky... It seems like no one can say that!
  If Gu Xun wanted to hurry up, wouldn't he be able to wield a sword and take Yan Lingji with him? It’s faster and you can travel around the seven countries in two days.

Also, Gu Xun actually likes the scenery of the Northland in this era.

"So, what do you like here?" Yan Lingji opened the curtains and looked at the withered and desolate wild scenery outside, and asked in confusion.

The Northland is bitterly cold, sparsely populated, and cities are sparse. The number of cities in the three counties is less than that of one county in the hinterland of the Central Plains. The lack of people in this era represents almost absolute barbarism and backwardness. Therefore, wherever you look, you will see the most It is a barren mountain and wild land, coupled with the approaching cold winter, everything is dead, the vegetation is withered and yellow, and the eyes are full of desolation and loneliness. Generally speaking, normal people will not prefer this kind of scenery.

Since ancient times, sadness and loneliness have always been the norm in autumn, and only a few can win the spring dynasty.

Gu Xun is not one of the few. He simply prefers lonely scenery so that he can express his occasional sadness of spring and autumn.

Gu Xun leaned lazily on the frame, facing the dazzling but not warm sunshine in winter, and replied lazily, "Look at this vast world, do you feel a little insignificant?"

"Well... it's a bit." Yan Lingji looked at the desolate mountain scenery in the distance without knowing why, and felt it for a while. She had to admit that she felt a bit like this, but... "So you just want to experience this feeling of insignificance. ? Are you okay now?"

Gu Xun turned his face and glanced sideways at her, "No, you are the ones who are insignificant. I don't feel this way. What I feel is the insignificance of others."     "Ah..." Yan Lingji twisted her face and planned to yell at Gu Xun. sentence, but then I thought about it and was speechless. I have such confidence, "Yes, you are not insignificant..."

You can blow up the mountains with your might, you are not insignificant...

"You are so great, why do you need Li Mu and others to help you hide it?" After thinking for a long time, Yan Lingji still held back a sentence and came out to block Gu Xun.

"Do you want to be looked at like a prisoner wherever you go?" Gu Xun asked with a frown.

"You are so powerful, who dares to do this to you?" Yan Lingji replied with a grunt.

"It's always troublesome." Gu Xun waved his hand, "Besides, I practice martial arts mainly so that others have to reason with me, and I don't need to reason with others. In the final analysis, it plays a role in communicating with others, not just making things. Fear makes everyone scared when they see me.”

"Then why did you take action that day?" Yan Lingji asked again, "You just took Li Mu away from the battlefield. Those wolves didn't have enough time to retreat."

"Hmm... It just happened at the right time. I didn't plan to use so much force, but who made the wolves cooperate so much? They all rushed forward without thinking. We couldn't miss the opportunity."

"Okay." Yan Lingji curled her lips and reluctantly accepted this statement.

"When can we get to the capital of Yan Kingdom?"

"Let me take a look..." Gu Xun flipped through the atlas, "Jidu is just due east. It's not close. After passing through Daijun, we have to pass through Shanggu County again. Jidu is between Shanggu and Yu. The junction of Yang... It will take more than half a month, nearly a month."

"If it takes so long, wouldn't it be close to the depths of winter?" Yan Lingji couldn't help but sigh as she felt the bright sun outside but couldn't reduce the cold temperature by half.

"If you are lucky, you can see the snow scene in Jidu." Gu Xun nodded, "Li Mu said that the snow scene in Yan State is the most beautiful."

"He is a general of Zhao State, but he still knows the snow scenery of Yan State?"

"Well...according to what he said, after he crippled the Northland Wolf Clan eight years ago, he was sent to attack Yan by King Zhao Daoxiang who had just ascended the throne and needed some martial arts to highlight himself, and captured Fangcheng. , that place is not far from Jidu, and I was lucky enough to enjoy some of the winter scenery of Yan State."

"..." Okay, this explanation is very general.

"As long as the snow scenery looks good, I don't like it anyway." Yan Lingji replied dryly, and then asked, "Then who do you plan to harm when you come to Yan State? Who is the prime minister of Yan State? ?”

Gu Xun glanced at her sideways and replied angrily, "I have no intention of causing harm to anyone, and I don't know who the Prime Minister of the Yan Kingdom is."

"But Yan State... I'm afraid it will be a little more interesting than Zhao State."

"You mean... Canglong Qisu?"

"Obviously." Gu Xun smiled naturally.
