Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 569 The Finale
  "How do you say this?" Yan Lingji still didn't understand the cause and effect relationship.

Gu Xun explained in detail:
  "Qin will hold South Korea accountable. With Han Wangan's cowardice, he does not dare to confront Qin. He must find a way to appease King Qin's so-called 'anger'. And what Ying Zheng wants most right now is Han Fei."

"Oh, you mean, Han Fei will join Qin because of this?"

"That's right." Gu Xun nodded and affirmed, "If Qin wins the war in Zhao and leads to a great victory, South Korea will have no choice."

"And South Korea has no choice, which means Han Fei has no choice. Even if he knows that the most he can do when entering Qin is to drink poison to quench his thirst and satisfy his temporary needs, he must do so."

"This is the path he has to choose, and it is also the path that many Korean nobles, including Han Wangan, will force him to choose."

Yan Lingji showed a sarcastic smile at the right time, "South Korea... ha! It's so ugly!"

"Han Fei is the core of Liusha. Once Han Fei is gone, Liusha's most fundamental foundation in South Korea will be broken."

Han Wangan now has two suitable candidates for the throne. If Han Fei joins the Qin Dynasty, there is no doubt that the fourth son Han Yu's position as crown prince will be confirmed.

There is nothing to say about what happens next. Without its most important official supporter, Quicksand cannot compete with Han Yu.

How could you, a pure outsider, be able to defeat someone else's son in a fight on Han Wangan's territory?
  Gu Xun continued, "Han Fei's trip to the Qin Dynasty was a life-and-death experience. In order to ensure his safety as much as possible, Liusha will definitely look for me."

"When you come to Xianyang, Zinu is the best choice. She is the only one who can temporarily escape from Xinzheng."

"Xuanjian's first duty is to protect Zi Nu, and he will definitely come with him. When the time comes... hehe, the people from the Armored Sect will have no choice but to escape."

"How can you be sure that the people from the Armored Sect won't rush to find Xuan Jian before he leaves?" Yan Lingji nodded with a look of surprise, but then she had objections.

"It's basically impossible to make it in time." Gu Xun analyzed it carefully, "Dianqing and others know that it is not easy to capture Xuanjian, and there may only be one chance to do it, so they must be fully prepared."

"The forces of the Armored Sect are basically limited to the territory of Wei State. Xinzheng is not far away, but it is not always possible to organize a group of people there."

"As for Zi Nu, the Qin envoy will arrive in the near future, and Han Fei's entry into Qin will be finalized soon. She will definitely arrive in Xianyang first to contact me, and she will definitely be a step closer."

"Before they leave, the Armor Sect will at most send a few followers to find Xuanjian and keep an eye on him, but what can such a small number of people do? Once they enter the Qin Kingdom, the Armor Sect will have no choice."

"No matter how weak Luo Wang's strength is, he won't be able to let people mess around on his own territory...at least the Armored Sect doesn't have this ability."

Yan Lingji felt a little dizzy after listening to this long series of twists and turns. In the end, she had to fire a map cannon as usual, "You Central Plains people are so cunning!"

"This is not cunning." Gu Xun argued for himself, "It's just that Mei Sanniang and the others were unlucky, and it happened to be at this point in time."

"Bang!" Yan Lingji curled her lips in disdain at this.

Gu Xun rolled his eyes, not bothering to argue with her, and said instead:
  "Whether it's about Korea or the Armored Sect, it doesn't matter."

"Then what's important?"

"Of course it's the battle between Qin and Zhao."

"The beginning of the end of troubled times is about to begin."

"You mean Qin will destroy Zhao in this battle?" Yan Lingji asked in surprise.

Originally, she didn't pay much attention to such a war that seemed to happen frequently between countries.

"Of course not." Gu Xun quickly replied, "Li Mu is still here, but the Kingdom of Zhao cannot be destroyed."

"However, the moment Li Mu fell, it meant that the six Shandong countries were no longer able to compete with Qin."

"Ah!? Is he so powerful?" Yan Lingji was even more unbelievable. Although she had heard many legends about Li Mu in Zhao State before, in the end he was just a general.

To resist the Qin State by oneself... can he be so powerful?
  Gu Xun nodded slightly, "Almost...that's how powerful it is."

Victory or defeat in military matters is nothing more than soldiers and generals.

The former includes both the number of troops and the logistical supplies to support the military. In this aspect, no one of the six Shandong countries can compete with Qin.

As for generals, among the six countries in Shandong, only Li Mu from the Zhao Kingdom is left.

As soon as Li Mu died, he was completely ruined.

Judging from historical facts, after Li Mu's death, the Six Kingdoms of Shandong were basically no longer able to cause any trouble to Qin.

Even the Chu State only achieved one victory due to the sudden rebellion of Lord Changping, and was then overthrown by Wang Jian's army.

Xiang Yan did not have the ability to deal with Wang Jian, which was different from Li Mu.

Although Yan Lingji still felt that it was outrageous, she chose to believe in her man and couldn't help but murmured, "I didn't expect that old man to be so powerful..."

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's go to bed. We should go back to Xianyang in a few days. We might run into Zi Nu or Han Fei on the way." After the gossip, Gu Xun didn't plan to stay up late anymore.

………………

Armor Gate, the residence of Mei Sanniang.

Mei Sanniang took advantage of the cover of night and quietly sneaked back to the door of her room, feeling relieved.

Although it went against his senior brother's wishes, he finally got the whereabouts of Xuan Jian. All he had to do next was to find a way to let his senior brother know secretly.

As for the information she told Gu Xun... Mei Sanniang could feel that Lord Xinling might have been planning something important before his death. However, now that both her master and Lord Xinling had passed away for a long time, even if Gu Xun knew that, what could he do? How?

The people who knew about it are all dead, can you still call the ghosts and ask questions?

It's not a big deal, it's more important to avenge the master.

With this thought, Mei Sanniang entered the house with a relaxed look, and then with the help of the bright moonlight outside the window, she discovered that there was a huge figure in her house.

Mei Sanniang was shocked, but she just froze in place and didn't make any move.

Even though she couldn't see the face clearly, she knew that this was her dear senior brother Jianqing.

Neither of them made any move, they just looked at each other quietly in the darkness. In the end, Mei Sanniang moved first and walked to the candlestick to light the candle.

The room regained light, and the huge body of the ceremony was revealed under the firelight.

Looking at Mei Sanniang who had finished lighting the fire, Dianqing shouted in a low voice, "Junior sister..."

Mei Sanniang turned her face and looked up at the ceremony, and responded, "Senior brother..."

"I knew you wouldn't give up." The ceremony's voice sounded faintly, "I wanted to stop you, but unfortunately it was too late..."

Dianqing's tone was full of regret, but I don't know whether it was regret for not being able to stop Mei Sanniang in advance, or regret that out of some selfish motives, he deliberately arrived a step too late and let Mei Sanniang go...

　I slept until after six o'clock in the afternoon. I had a terrible headache and was a little late.
