Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 643 The King of Qi returns to Qi ()

Gu Xun still didn't accept Da Siming's statement, and shook his head with regret, "Maybe, but speaking, or dying?"

Da Siming's face became more and more anxious, and he spoke three points faster, and replied at a fluent speed, "If the Imperial Master doesn't believe it, you can wait until he returns to Xianyang to ask His Majesty the King of Qin himself. If I have even half a lie..."

Even though he was speaking at this speed, Da Siming could not say everything he wanted to say. In his eyes, Gu Xun's raised right palm was already gathering a large amount of infuriating energy. It was very likely that the next one would come. In an instant, he was about to be slapped on the head.

Instead of being too smart and trying to escape, Da Siming quickly took advantage of his last breath... and gave in.

"I said!"

In his desperation, Da Siming forgot to control his volume. He shouted these two words, which was deafening.

Fortunately, Gu Xun helped him cover up, otherwise he would have been discovered.

"Haha..." When Gu Xun heard his loud shout, he immediately dispersed the bursting true air current in his hand, waved his hand pretendingly, and said with a smile, "It seems that the brain is not good enough." Very stunned."

"Then say it."

"Huh...huh..." Da Siming took a few breaths, relaxed his mood, and then asked resignedly, "What does the Imperial Master want to know?"

"What did you learn from Qi Wangjian? That's what I want to know." Gu Xun calmly sat down on a box next to him, waiting for Da Siming to tell him.

However, Da Siming is not as leisurely as him. The battle outside will end at any time and there is no time to delay.

So I thought for a moment and quickly picked the important one and answered:

"The main purpose of the East Emperor's order for me to come here is the Canglong Qisu copper box in the hands of the Qi State. My Yin and Yang family has been searching for the whereabouts of this box for many years, but I have searched all over the Tian Qi clan and failed to find any clues. So far, I can't find any clues. The person most likely to know the inside story is Qi Wangjian."

"So..." Gu Xun made a circle with his fingers, "That's why you guys made such a big fuss?"

"...That's right." The interrupted Da Siming nodded helplessly, "Only on the water can Wang Jian of Qi escape from the protection of the guards of the brigade, giving us an opportunity to take advantage of it, and Chen He works almost day and night. Stay by King Qi's side. With him around, we can't get close to King Qi, so we must move him away."

He could use some external assistance to drag Tongji Ji's guard into the illusion without anyone noticing, but this trick was not enough to deal with Chen He.

Gu Xun nodded, showing a clear look, and at the same time motioned for the other party to continue speaking.

"..." Da Siming took out a breath and continued, "According to Qi Wangjian's memory, he has given the copper box to someone else to take away for safekeeping."

"...Who?" Gu Xun hesitated and asked in a deep voice.

In fact, he probably had a guess in his mind, and Da Siming's answer also confirmed this guess.

"A nameless person, King Qi Jian doesn't seem to know much about him." After Da Siming finished speaking, he was probably afraid that Gu Xun wouldn't believe him and thought he was perfunctory, so he added, "I really don't know his name or his origin. , I also need to go back and report to the Emperor of the Eastern Emperor to trace him."

It is basically certain that it is nameless.

But if the box was in Wuming's hands, why wasn't it delivered to the Salamander after his death? Worried that she can't bear it? But who can he leave it to for safekeeping...

Gu Xun closed his eyes to prevent Da Siming from seeing anything wrong, and thought about it in his mind.

Little Sage Village? The suspicion is high, but in this case, the attitude of Confucian high-level officials, including Xunzi, towards Canglong Qisu may not be as casual as when he visited before.

It might be hidden, but someone must know where it is. If Jingyu doesn't know, the most likely suspect is Yan Lu.

Of course, there is a possibility that it may simply be hidden somewhere unknown to anyone, or lost, but Gu Xun thinks this possibility is slim.

If these things could be discarded casually, they would all have disappeared long ago. The fact that they can be handed down to this day means that they are very important to those who want to take them away, and they cannot be lost to those who keep them.

"Is that all?" Gu Xun opened his eyes, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then asked Da Siming.

"No more..." Da Siming shook his head.

Gu Xun raised his brows, put his hands on his chest, and asked again in a fluctuating tone, "Are you sure it's just this?"

"That's really the only thing." Da Siming responded anxiously, "Headmaster Donghuang asked me to try to get everything that King Qi knows about Canglong Qisu, but he really doesn't know much. This is just an important thing.”

"What about the unimportant ones?" Gu Xun lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice without changing his tone.

"Unimportant?" Da Siming was stunned for a moment. They were all unimportant side stories. Is there any need to say more?
  But seeing Gu Xun's unspeakable attitude that he might kill someone at any time, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and replied honestly, "There are not many unimportant things. Even King Qi Xiang and Queen Jun are both on their deathbeds." I have repeatedly told King Qi Jian to take good care of the copper box."

Gu Xun couldn't help but smacked his lips. This is really not important. Keep the copper box well... Isn't this nonsense?
  "anything else?"

"No, it's really gone this time." Da Siming quickly replied.

Gu Xun squinted his eyes, looking at the other party's expression that he was afraid of being killed but really couldn't speak. The credibility should be... 70 to 80%, right?
  Since the other party had nothing to say, Gu Xun did not intend to continue to embarrass his little pawn.

Even if he is not active in the Yin Yang family now, there is no need to deliberately embarrass a tool man to embarrass the other party, well... there is still something to play with later.

Without further ado, Gu Xun’s figure immediately turned into nothing and disappeared from the small cabin.

"Huh..." Da Siming saw that Gu Xun was gone and that he actually saved his life. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

However, after the life-and-death threat brought by Gu Xun disappeared, he couldn't help but worry about the consequences of leaking secrets without authorization.

The rules of the Yin Yang family are strict. Even if he has the legitimate reason of Gu Xun's coercion, he may not be able to do well... I don't know how the Donghuang Head Church will punish him...

Da Siming thought anxiously.

As for not telling him about the secret after he returned... Da Siming didn't dare to do that.

After all, there is still an insider like Gu Xun. If the other party leaks out and the Yin Yang family knows about it, then if he conceals it and does not report it, he will be offended and get a third degree. No need to think too much, Da Siming can roughly judge his fate at that time - -It's nothing more than death, well... or maybe becoming Kanebu Yunaka-kun's experimental subject.

Shaking his head, suppressing the anger and uneasiness in his heart, Da Siming quickly went on to clean up the aftermath of his actions.

Now that the ship has begun to stabilize, the battle outside is likely to be over soon.
