Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 499 Changes in the world
  "..."

After receiving such an explanation, Yuki-onna fell into silence. Just when Gu Xun felt that the chat was almost over and was about to get up and leave, Yuki-onna spoke again.

"why?"

A question made Gu Xun sit still for a while, and then Xue Nu continued to ask:
  "Why does Lord Gu think I'm not suitable?"

The suggestion put forward by Gu Xun was very reasonable. As long as she could speak in the Mohist family, with the power of one of the two major sects, it would not be difficult to repay this kindness. But how could she think now that she would become the leader of the Mohist family in the future? So she chose to continue to struggle.

"Ha!" Hearing her question, Gu Xun grinned, shook his head, smacked his lips, and said bluntly:
  "Because I don't like your temperament, which is gloomy, cold, melancholy, bitter, and full of hatred."

You know, as the master of the Ice Soul Sword, Blue Rabbit has titles such as Ice Beauty in the martial arts world, and the Jade Toad Palace basically does not welcome outsiders to set foot in it, but in terms of personality, it is a kind, generous, warm and gentle master. .

The most consistent thing between it and the Ice Soul Sword is that it is as noble and pure as ice and snow, rather than being cold-hearted and cold-hearted, with the whole body as cold as ice.

Unless there was no other way, Xue Nu would never be Gu Xun's choice. Now he had no choice but to list her as the lowest priority option.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Gu Xun became even more unforgiving as he continued:

"I don't know what kind of suffering you have suffered in the past, Snow Maiden. Anyway, you have never suffered from others, and I don't advise others to be kind. I can understand your character and style due to your past experiences, and I won't advise you to change, but you are not suitable to be an ice woman." The Soul Sword Master is a fact, there is nothing we can do about it."

"Do you have any more questions?" After the call was over, Gu Xun asked one last question. Seeing that Xue Nu didn't answer, he assumed that nothing was wrong and went back to the bedroom to sleep alone.

The snow girl stood up quietly, wearing a light blue skirt and a cold temperament, standing in this small winter courtyard. Although there was no snow, it created an invisible feeling of standing proudly in the snow.

She looked at Gu Xun's leaving figure with complicated eyes, but she didn't know what she was thinking. After being silent for a long time, she also returned to the guest room.

………………

A few more days passed, and the weather became increasingly colder. All the people in Jicheng knew that the first winter snow was coming.

The news of Yan Chunjun's death also spread thoroughly in the past few days. The people naturally applauded and applauded. Even in the court, many courtiers were secretly happy. Only those who chose to take refuge in Yan Chunjun The officials under his command felt like mourning these days, especially because some of them were originally Prince Dan of Yan. They chose to rebel because Yan Dan was suddenly sent to Xianyang as a hostage. As a result, before they were happy for two days, their backers completely collapsed.

It's almost speechless. Yan Dan is only a temporary hostage after all. The prince's identity as the prince is still there, it's nothing more than waiting. But the new master Yan Chunjun is completely desolate and will be buried in peace with no more singing.

However, the death of a mere royal lord of the Yan Kingdom, even a powerful lord, will not cause any turmoil in the entire world. It is not like Guo Kai of the Zhao Kingdom, who is plotting against Li Mu. The famous Northland Military God in the Seven Kingdoms, so after all, Yan Chunjun's death was only spread around Jicheng, and the heat quickly subsided.

Uh...other than that, Luo Wang paid attention to it, but this time, no matter how they checked, they couldn't find Gu Xun. The only and biggest flaw - Snow Girl, was in Gu Xun's yard. However, No one dares to come close!
  It’s like it doesn’t exist!
  What really attracts the attention of the seven kingdoms and the public now are two more important things.

The first is the affairs of the Qin State. According to the findings of the spies from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, the Qin State has made internal moves. It has begun to recruit civilians and gather supplies. It is obvious that it intends to start a war. Of course, there will be no war in the cold winter of March 9th. It's such a loss, so Qin is just preparing in advance, and it is very likely that it will use force as soon as spring begins. Among the six Shandong countries, the most tense ones are naturally Zhao and South Korea.

The former is because of the bitter feud between Qin and Zhao. The two countries have been at war over the years, while South Korea is simply because King An of Han is timid. In addition, South Korea is too weak and will be destroyed in minutes.

Of course, what made all the six Shandong countries nervous was not just the fact that Qin had signs of launching troops. After all, Qin's favorite thing was fighting, which was considered common. What was more important was another news hidden behind the war - Zheng Guoqu was about to Construction is completed.

When it comes to this matter, among the six Shandong countries except South Korea, everyone with any brains, no matter the monarch or minister, hates South Korea with all their teeth.

At that time, South Korea was directly facing the threat of Qin's military attack. In order to survive, it sent Zheng Guo, a water conservancy master, to Qin to implement the so-called plan to weaken Qin. The original plan was to use the Zheng Guo Canal, a huge water conservancy project, to hold back Qin. Forcing Qin to temporarily stop its expansion and draining Qin's national power, he also took this opportunity to develop vigorously and take advantage of Qin's empty national power to try to launch a counterattack - of course, there was no hope of seriously damaging Qin. country, just hoping to get a glimmer of hope for South Korea.

It's a pity that no matter how full the ideal is, it can't change the reality of being skinny.

King Han Huanhui’s plans were so loud that he couldn’t stand up to King Han An’s trash. He relied solely on these ten years to survive. As for development... what a fart!

Now that the construction of Zheng Guo Canal is about to be completed, there will be more than 40,000 hectares of fertile fields in Guanzhong, which is almost equivalent to adding an extra land in Hexi out of thin air, and there is no need to compete with the wolf tribe, who will fight in darkness all year round.

At this point, the Qin State no longer had to worry about food shortages, and could further expand its military strength, occupy the pass, and plot against the six countries in Shandong.

In order to survive for a few more years, South Korea ended up tricking the other five countries into dying a few years earlier.

But if you really dig deeper, it’s not just South Korea that’s to blame. Almost all of Qin’s plan was almost a conspiracy. Qin knew it, and the other five countries also knew it, but no one chose to stop it. In the final analysis, they all had an ostrich mentality. , One year is the year when you can feel comfortable, and we will worry about future troubles later.

Purely deserved.

In addition to Qin's movements, there is another major event also related to Qin - Qi Wangjian decided to go to Xianyang next year to meet Qin Wangzheng.

Compared with the former news that caused uneasiness in many countries, this incident is more similar to entertainment news. Most people, mainly the kings of other countries - especially the state of Chu, watched this incident with the mentality of watching it for fun.

King Huai of Chu was a bloody precedent, and he was detained by Qin until he died after just meeting with King Qin at Wuguan. King Jian of Qi actually dared to go to Xianyang?
  court death!

This is the unanimous view of most people, including the country of Qi, which has become a mess because of this. Except for King Jian of Qi himself, no one in the government or the public supports him.

　To be honest, I'm still not sure who to choose as Ice Soul Sword Master...
