Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 567 Too many friends are really troublesome

In Daliang, where the Pijia Sect headquarters is located, the leader Dianqing and his junior sister Mei Sanniang are discussing matters alone.

"Senior brother, how about we try Gu Xunti's second condition?" Mei Sanniang paced back and forth in the room, gritting her silver teeth and thinking over and over again before she said to Dianqing who was sitting at the top.

Jianqing raised his hand and said, "No!"

"Senior brother!" Mei Sanniang couldn't help but growl in a low voice, very impatiently.

Dianqing remained unmoved and sat upright, "Sanniang, don't mention it again. Lord Xinling is as kind as a mountain to his master and to my armored sect. How can we betray him?"

"But Lord Xinling has passed away, senior brother!" Mei Sanniang looked like she couldn't understand the ceremony, and shouted angrily, "Besides, the things we know are not secret and important. Why not give it a try?”

"Since the master's death, Xuan Jian's whereabouts have been covered by the net and have never been traced. Now we have finally waited until the net was in chaos and our vitality was severely damaged. This opportunity cannot be missed, senior brother!"

"..." The ceremony fell into silence.

Mei Sanniang's words are reasonable. In fact, the things that the Pijia Sect, including the two of them, know about Lord Xinling are not important. At least in their eyes, they are all insignificant things, or one has already It is difficult for someone who has been dead for more than two years to leave any important information.

Using these unimportant things to try to exchange for Xuanjian's whereabouts is a sure-profit deal for them.

But Dianqing still had concerns. Before his master was killed, he specifically told him to handle everything related to Lord Xinling carefully.

Gu Xun's request undoubtedly belongs to this category.

After much thought, Dianqing still rejected Mei Sanniang's proposal, "Sanniang, let's end this matter. I will arrange for people to find a way to find Xuanjian."

"Senior brother!" Mei Sanniang still refused to give up, but seeing that Dianqing had no intention of talking about the matter anymore, she had no choice but to slam the door and leave angrily.

Dianqing looked at his junior sister's retreating figure and could only sigh.

Once, like Mei Sanniang, he was full of anger and only had revenge in his eyes. For him at that time, killing Xuan Jian was the most important goal, until... he accidentally killed Wei Qianqian.

The death of an innocent person made him wear a blindfold, blocking his eyes from observing the world in the past, although it basically had no effect...

In any case, his heart slowly began to calm down while covering his eyes. Even though he was unable and unwilling to let go of his hatred, he was not filled with hatred anymore. Compared to Mei Sanniang, as the head of the Armored Sect, As a general of Wei State, he must consider more.

As the national advisor of the Qin State, Gu Xun must be on guard against every move he makes and cannot act recklessly like Mei Sanniang.

………………

It's night, Daliang Inn.

Gu Xun opened two rooms according to his usual style. At this time, he was in one of them, while Yan Lingji was in the other.

Under the illumination of candlelight, Gu Xun was sitting at the desk, reading a letter.

The content was probably not too much. Gu Xun quickly read it and put it away. However, he did not get up and go back to another room. He still sat steadily.

After a few breaths, a figure wearing dark night clothes and a hood covering his face opened the window from outside and jumped in. Gu Xun just sat quietly and watched the actions of this uninvited guest, with no intention of taking action.

The other party quickly reached out and pulled down the hood, revealing a masculine and heroic female face. It was obvious that this person was Mei Sanniang.

"Haha, you didn't say anything during the day, but you came here secretly at night? Isn't this Daliang the territory of your armored sect?" Gu Xun naturally knew that Mei Sanniang was approaching quietly, and he joked with a smile without any surprise.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Mei Sanniang snorted coldly, showing no interest in joking with Gu Xun. "How do you deal with the request you made during the day regarding Lord Xinling?"

"Ah!" Gu Xun nodded repeatedly, with a clear expression, "It seems that there are some differences between you and your senior brother."

"So what, does it have anything to do with the transaction? Does it have anything to do with you?" Mei Sanniang replied with a cold face, still without any pretense.

Gu Xun curled his lips and smiled, "It doesn't matter. Of course it doesn't matter. Let's still talk about the transaction."

"The method of trading is very simple. I ask questions and you answer them. If the answer is valuable, I will tell you Xuanjian's current whereabouts."

"Of course..." Gu Xun tilted his head, stared at Mei Sanniang with a smile and reminded, "I will definitely find a way to verify what you said later. If I find out that it is false, what will be the consequences... You should have something in mind Points.”

"Hmph! I won't lie to anyone!" Mei Sanniang snorted arrogantly and asked in turn, "But how can I be sure that you didn't just tell me the location to lie to me?"

Gu Xun frowned. He looked like a really good girl, but it was a pity that she had such an open mouth... It had nothing to do with him anyway, so he spread his hands and replied:
  "There is no way to prove this. It just depends on whether you are willing to believe it. Just like when I agree to the transaction, I also tacitly agree that your words are basically worthy of belief."

"Bang!" Mei Sanniang breathed out unhappily, but she also knew that this is the reality. It has come and gone, and she can't give up just because of it. But there is still a question, "You said my answer must be valuable, but What if I answer no matter what and you think it’s worthless?”

"Haha." Gu Xun smiled, "This is still a matter of trust. It depends on whether you are willing to believe it or not."

"But to be honest, I don't mind telling you Xuanjian's whereabouts, because I told you during the day that you can't kill him."

Mei Sanniang thought about it for a while, but actually she didn't understand anything clearly in her mind. After some hesitation, she agreed, "Okay, that's it, just ask!"

"Hmm..." Gu Xun thought for a while and asked, "Do you know which other royal families Wei Wuji has close personal relationships with?"

Mei Sanniang's thin eyebrows wrinkled, "What kind of problem is this?"

"Mr. Xinling has friends all over the world. He is still a young master of the Wei Kingdom. He has personal relationships with countless members of other royal families. How should I answer?"

"That's true..." Gu Xun touched his chin, tried to narrow down the scope and asked, "What about the people who had a relatively close personal relationship a few years before his death? Did he visit him in person or come to visit him in person?"

Mei Sanniang shook her head, "The scope is still too big. In the years between Lord Xinling's return to his fiefdom and his death, the offices of Qi, Chu, Zhao and Yan all sent people to win over him, and those who came naturally had close personal relationships with him. There is no way to talk about this person."

"Well! It's not going to work anyway, right... Everyone should be dead after all!" Gu Xun shook his head helplessly, "Then... do you know if Mr. Xinling has ever sent your master to do anything?"

"My master?"
