Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 529 Fake
  At present, the construction of Zheng Guo Canal is basically completed. Although the Qin State has benefited and added tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, it will not let go of the Tired Qin Plan.

Even the Qin State, which is famous for its cruelty, will not give up voluntarily if it can learn from others. The incident of Zheng Guoqu can be regarded as a conspiracy of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong against the Qin State.

For this reason, the King of Qin became furious. He felt that the scholars from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong who came to Qin to serve as officials were all evil-minded, and even issued an order to expel the guests from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. In the end, Li Si wrote an "Admonishment" "Book of Exorcists" dissuaded him and withdrew his order, which made him famous. When Gu Xun got the news, he seriously suspected that the monarch and his ministers were putting on a show.

Although Xunzi was already in semi-seclusion, he naturally understood such important matters. He could tell what Gu Xun meant and couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully, "Little friend Gu knows my student quite well. "

Gu Xunyi shrugged, "People like Li Si... are actually relatively simple."

It's nothing more than a passion for power, an unwillingness to be humble, and an ambition. It's really easy to understand.

Xunzi couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he heard this, and then suddenly asked, "I wonder which of these two students, little friend Gu, is closer to me?"

"Of course it's Han Fei." Gu Xun gave the answer without hesitation.

"Li Si... being an interest partner may be a good choice, but I'm not keen on government affairs, so it doesn't mean anything to me."

"Heh..." Xunzi sighed softly, "I can see clearly..."

"The authorities are obsessed, but bystanders are wise. Or it can be said that having no desire leads to austerity. Most people tend to see things more clearly about things they don't desire." Gu Xun took a sip of tea and replied.

"What a pity..." Xunzi sighed again and murmured softly.

Gu Xun could clearly see what suited him, but none of his two students could see clearly, or... they couldn't see clearly enough.

In Xunzi's view, both Han Fei and Li Si were too obsessed with their own obsessions. One was eager for power, and the other was devoted to saving the country. He was worried that the former would make a mistake and lose his reputation, and he was worried that the latter would be shattered and gain nothing.

What a pity... He regretted not only the future of his students, but also his own powerlessness.

Especially now... Zheng Guo Canal is completed, Qin's plan is revealed to the public, South Korea is just at the cusp of the storm, South Korea and Qin, Han Fei... and Li Si...

Although there were a lot of thoughts in his mind, Xunzi didn't show anything strange in his expression. He looked so calm that no one could tell his inner thoughts.

"My little friend is a guest, but I keep asking questions. It's a bit rude." Suppressing his thoughts, Xunzi chuckled and said to Gu Xun, "I don't know what's important about my little friend's visit?"

Gu Xun pondered for a moment, then gave up the roundabout way of making insinuations. This method was not suitable for him at all. He simply asked bluntly, "If possible, Gu would like to ask something about Canglong Qisu."

Xunzi's figure stagnated slightly, and his eyes became darker and darker, "Canglong Qisu... will my little friend also chase such illusory legends?"

"Well... you always have to find something to do in life, and I think uncovering an ancient unknown mystery is a good choice." Gu Xun nodded, and disclosed his relationship with the Six-Finger Black Man, "I work with the Mohist giant Six-Finger Heixia got a lot of information about Canglong Qisu, and according to what he said, Confucianism... should also know something about it."

The second half of the sentence was added by Gu Xun himself. Anyway, the hat would be on the Six-fingered Black Man. It is common for the Confucian and Mohist families to blame each other.

"The Mohist giant..." Xunzi said in a long tone meaningfully. Xunzi was not particularly familiar with the Six-fingered Black Man. This was not because of the contradiction between Confucianism and Mohism. Xunzi did not pay attention to those so-called ideological disputes. It was mainly because the Six-Fingered Black Man was mainly active in the world, while Xunzi was mostly active in the world. He spent all his time in the academy - he used to compete with hundreds of scholars at Jixia Academy, then returned to Sanghai to cultivate his moral character, and stayed in the Little Sage Manor for a long time. Naturally, the two did not have much intersection.

However, Xunzi still knew something about the Mo family's strange attitude towards Canglong Qisu. Logically speaking, the six-fingered black man could not easily tell others about Canglong Qisu, even if his life was threatened.

So... did Gu Xun tell a lie, or did the Six-Fingered Black Man feel that he could tell Gu Xun out of some considerations?
  "What does little friend Gu want to know?" After thinking for a while, Xunzi decided to ask Gu Xun first.

After asking, Xunzi did not forget to add a patch, "If you want to ask what Canglong Qisu is or where it is, just don't ask, I don't know."

"Uh..." Gu Xun was blocked when he was about to ask. He really planned to ask what Canglong Qisu was first. Although the probability of getting the answer was infinitely close to zero, but... give it a try, try it. It doesn’t cost money to try, “Okay then…”

"Then... Mr. Xun Kuang, can you tell me, if Canglong Qisu really appears, what does it mean to the world of the Seven Kingdoms?"

"Is this similar to the first question I asked?" Xunzi twirled his beard and looked at Gu Xun with a half-smile and asked.

"There are still some differences..." Gu Xun spread his hands, "If you don't know..."

Before Gu Xun could give up on the question, Xunzi gave his answer:
  "For the world, the appearance of Canglong Qisu represents a great change, an unprecedented great change."

Gu Xun frowned and then asked, "Is it good or bad?"

"I don't know this."

"It is said that one can conquer the world by gaining Canglong Qisu. Is it possible that such a huge change will occur?" Gu Xun tentatively guessed.

He didn't know whether Xunzi was really unclear, so he could only test it.

However, Xunzi gave a clear and unequivocal answer to this question, "No."

"This rumor... I'm afraid it's not true." Xunzi's eyes were a little erratic, his focus fell on the void, and he explained softly, "The reason why such a rumor was born can be traced back to the time of the Yellow Emperor. It is said that he was able to defeat Chi You. The unification of all the Xia tribes is related to Canglong Qisu, but this is just an ancient anecdote and has no basis for research."

"After that, King Yu established Xia, Shang Tang destroyed Xia, King Wu defeated Zhou, and the Xia and Shang dynasties circulated on Wednesday. There are all related secret rumors. However, these are the same as the Yellow Emperor, and there is no reliable basis."

"Until the decline of the Zhou royal family, the rise of several overlords during the Spring and Autumn Period was rumored to be related to Canglong Qisu. However, in the three hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period, many overlords rose and fell. Even if they were as powerful as the Jin Kingdom, they lost their status as overlords several times. If If it is really related to Canglong Qisu, how can the position of overlord rotate again and again?"

"Such an important power that everyone must firmly hold in their hands. Why does it fall into the hands of different countries one after another?"

　The computer broke again, and it was almost too late... Now I don't even have time to find a serious place to repair the computer.
