Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 537 Convergence
  The cold explanation reached Yan Lingji's ears, causing her to open her mouth involuntarily, but she didn't know what to say. Finally, she held back a map bomb and said, "...you people from the Central Plains are so calculating."

"..." Gu Xun made Yan Lingji choke so much that she couldn't say the rest of the sentence for a while.

Well said, why did you turn to the map cannon again? What's wrong with you?
  After a moment of silence, Gu Xun said the last sentence, "...the ancestors of the farm family should have known it well, so they divided the six halls so thoroughly, making the farm family not so much one sect, but six halls. However, excessive independence will definitely lead to internal fighting among the six halls... After fighting for so many years, it is estimated that even if there is no external pressure, the six halls will not be able to work together."

"Okay..." After hearing the second half of this sentence, Yan Lingji could only sigh dryly.

"But since the six new hall masters are useless at all, will they still come?"

"Yes." Gu Xun said with a faint smile, "The theme of this operation is revenge after all, for the six old hall masters. There is no reason why their successors can't come."

Yan Lingji thought about it, and then asked, "So...are you going to kill another farmer's hall master?"

"Can't kill..." Gu Xun replied quite generously.

"cannot?"

"The higher-ups of the farm family, such as Xia Kuai Tian Guang, or the six hall masters, they all have their own plans, for fame, for profit, maybe... and for the so-called providence. I don't care about the life or death of these people. But if two hall masters die in succession, the management of the farm may collapse."

"I can't ignore this. Farmer disciples are very helpful to the people of the seven countries in water conservancy, agriculture, industry and other aspects. If the management of the farmhouse collapses, these disciples will turn into a mob, and their assistance will turn into riots." , I don’t know how many innocent people will be affected.”

Gu Xun's tone contained a rather regretful feeling, "So this time, I will just teach the other party a lesson and not kill anyone. Of course, if one or two are killed by you or Chen He by mistake, then It doesn’t matter.”

Yan Lingji nodded thoughtfully. This is indeed the style of her shopkeeper. As many people as possible can die, but it is best not to affect a large number of innocent people. "In other words, it is not possible to die at all, just one or two." Doesn’t it matter if you are weak?”

"That's it!" Gu Xun affirmed.

………………

After leaving Songhai, Gu Xunhe Yanlingji marched in the southwest direction, along the Great Wall of Qi to Ji County, and then crossed the Great Wall from there, and then entered Huaibei County of Chu State. By the way, Ji County is due south of About a hundred miles away is Jucheng, one of the five capitals of Qi in the past. It was also the place where King Qi Xiang, the biological father of King Jian of Qi, stayed when he was hiding from the troops of the Five Kingdoms.

This city, which had not fallen when Le Yi conquered Qi, was eventually lost and completely fell into the hands of the Chu State.

In fact, Gu Xun can also go south along the seaside, and the scenery will be better. However, there are not many cities near the sea these days. If they really go along the seaside, after the two of them pass Langya, there will be only wasteland, and they will be in the wild all the time in the cold weather. Floating was not suitable, so in the end I chose to take a detour to the west.

As expected, the two of them successfully met up with Chen He in Ji County. To be precise, the other party had arrived a few days earlier and had been waiting for them.

The county seat of Ji County is not a big city, and it is far less prosperous than Songhai City, which is theoretically at the same level as him. The most luxurious inn in the city is no more than...well, it is still much better than Youjian Inn, while Chen He Just waiting for Gu Xun in this inn, the three of them met and reunited smoothly.

The relationship between the three of them was so familiar, and no one would exchange polite greetings. After settling in and packing up, they gathered in Gu Xun's guest room.

Gu Xun reached out and patted Chen He, carefully feeling the rebuilt Ben Lei Qi in his body, and nodded slightly with satisfaction, "Yes, although the progress is not fast, at least we are proceeding steadily and not rushing forward. Just keep it up." .”

Chen He nodded dullly, "I will remember it, sir." "This time is just the time to get familiar with the Ben Lei sword technique in actual combat. After all, you have been practicing marksmanship for more than ten years, and your body muscles have formed a habit. You cannot blindly do it. Practice internal strength.”

"Well, I think so too." Chen He nodded in agreement.

The bored Yan Lingji was playing around with Gu Xun's sixth-level Rubik's Cube. She was just playing around. She still hadn't figured out the third-level Rubik's Cube yet. At this time, she casually added, "When will the farmer's cube be played?" Take action?"

"Hmm..." Gu Xun thought for a moment, "At least we have to wait until we pass Jucheng. If we are too close to the border between Qi and Chu, they may worry about alerting Qi."

Chen He answered in a deep voice, "That means there are still about four or five days to go."

"Then we still have to travel for a few days... Let's take a rest here first?" Yan Lingji suggested.

"No, it's not too late to rest until we get to Jucheng. It's more suitable there and the environment should be more comfortable." Gu Xun proposed another plan.

Yan Lingji nodded indifferently, it didn't matter where she rested.

Gu Xun turned to look at Chen He again, "How about it? Is it convenient for you to run that far?"

Unlike the two idle members of society, Chen He had a full-time job, and it was also the most troublesome espionage job.

"Okay." Chen He shook his expressionless face and said it didn't matter, "I won't have any tasks scheduled in the past few months, so I can use my time as I please."

"That's fine." Gu Xun asked curiously, "But why have your missions been stopped?"

"At the beginning of March, the king went to the Qin State and needed my protection. Because he needed to relearn martial arts, the king was worried that I would not have time to regain my strength." Chen He explained briefly.

Yan Lingji interjected again, "Then you still come to find a fight with the farmer, won't it be too late?"

Chen He glanced at her and didn't want to talk nonsense to Cai Ji. In the end, Gu Xun said to his daughter-in-law, "In March, there is almost enough time. Besides, a fight with the farmers will also be helpful for Chen He's recovery." help."

It is good that Seven Swords Martial Arts emphasizes the cultivation of internal strength, but that does not mean that anyone can give up sword moves and use Qi to crush the enemy without thinking. With Chen He's talent in internal energy and his age, he probably has no hope of reaching that level in his lifetime.

No one is exempt from this, including the Seven Heroes. When Hong Cat and the others are not strong enough, they still have to compete with others in terms of skills and tricks. You come and go. Of course, later on, like Hong Cat, their strength improves. From now on, as long as I'm not injured and in good condition, let's try our ultimate moves to see who is more powerful. Well... I, Hongmao, will blow up a mountain first to cheer everyone up.

With Chen He's talent and age, he would never be able to reach this level in his life. Well... it's not about blowing up mountains, but crushing his opponents with his absolutely advanced internal strength cultivation.

　I didn't pay attention to the time, but it was a few seconds late, and the perfect attendance was still gone... a little sad.
