Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 667 Arrangement in Advance
  Zi Nu smiled bitterly and shook her head, sighing helplessly, "You..."

Gu Xun waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about these unimportant things."

"Is business going well recently?"

"Of course. Who in Xianyang City doesn't know that Zilanxuan belongs to your ancient master, and who dares to provoke you?" Zinu rolled her eyes at him and replied matter-of-factly.

"Hmm... Actually, it would be nice to be a little blind, so that I can scare the monkeys and deepen their understanding of me." Gu Xun smiled and responded with satisfaction.

"Yes, yes, I know you are powerful!" Zi Nu nodded repeatedly as if coaxing a child.

Gu Xun smiled and shook his head, "I'm serious to you!"

"In a few days, I should have to leave Xianyang for a while."

"Leaving again? Where to go and how long will it take?" Zi Nu immediately spit out several questions after hearing this.

Gu Xun took a sip of tea and replied unhurriedly, "As for how long it will take to reach the land of Bashu... I don't know for the time being, it will probably take two or three months."

"Sichuan? Where are you going and what are you doing?" Zi Nu frowned and asked in confusion.

The native Shu people in Shu County have always been dissatisfied with the control of the Qin State and have often rebelled and revolted. Even the governor of Shu County was killed. However, because the plains around Chengdu are fertile and one of the most important grain-producing areas in the Qin State, so We cannot abandon this remote and desolate place, and can only send troops to quell the rebellion every year.

Hearing this, Gu Xun asked without answering, "Do you think there is any reason why I should go to Jiameng Pass in person?"

"...Is it for Canglong Qisu again?" Zi Nu quickly reacted and guessed.

At this time, she remembered the news that King Qin Yingzheng had unusually sent additional troops to Shu not long ago. "So, King Qin sent troops before..."

Gu Xun narrowed his eyes and smiled, waving his hand to indicate that she didn't need to say more, "It's for Canglong Qisu, but there are also other reasons. The specific situation has not yet been determined. It just depends on how much I can gain."

Zi Nu frowned and asked, "Are you going alone?"

"Probably, at least I won't take anyone here with me." Gu Xun replied, "The environment in Shu is harsh. It may be better than Baiyue, but it is limited. There is no need to take you to suffer. "

Yan Lingji may be able to adapt to the environment, but she can no longer make peace with Gu Xun - she doesn't know what she has in mind recently, dragging Bai Feng and the others to run errands for her, and she doesn't know what they are doing.

"Would it be inconvenient for you to be alone?" Zi Nu asked worriedly, "Maybe you can take Mo Crow and the others with you?"

Gu Xun shook his head and rejected, "They have to stay and leave it to you."

"The time is a bit stuck. I don't know how the situation in South Korea will develop. You should keep an eye on it after I leave. If you see that the situation is not right, remember to do what you need to do."

What you should do is naturally to save people, save those who need to be saved.

Although according to the history that Gu Xun knew, it would take a few years after Qin and Zhao fought again before South Korea would be destroyed - at least not until King An of Han surrendered the land of Nanyang and declared himself a vassal, but the current development of the situation is a bit too tense.

The weakness of South Korea was beyond his imagination. If Yingzheng deployed tens of thousands more regular border troops to assist Nei Shiteng, who now commanded the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army, it would not be impossible to directly defeat South Korea.

Under such circumstances, Gu Xun obviously cannot continue to blindly believe in the so-called history, and must make arrangements in advance.

Zi Nu immediately understood what Gu Xun meant and nodded cautiously, "I will pay attention."

Gu Xun added, "Not only must we pay attention to South Korea, but the internal situation of Qin cannot be ignored."

Zi Nu guessed suspiciously, "You mean... Han Fei?"

"Be careful." Gu Xun was noncommittal and just reminded him softly.

Just like Gu Xun's loyalty to Ying Zheng... it's not loyalty, it should be said to be concern. Gu Xun's concerns about Ying Zheng are far less serious than others think. Ying Zheng's trust in Gu Xun, the Yin Yang family and Li Si The fear of Gu Xun is not that deep.      Everything is easy to say when others are around, but it is difficult to say anything when others are away.

If Ying Zheng, or Li Si, or one or more of the Yin Yang family suddenly changes their mind and wants to kill Gu Xun first, it will be troublesome.

People's hearts are fickle, so we have to guard against this.

Zi Nu already understood the meaning, nodded slightly, and then asked, "When will you leave?"

Gu Xun breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "In a few days, when... the visiting team from Xiaoshengxian Village arrives."

Although this matter was initiated by the Qin State, Gu Xun was certain that the people in Xiaoshengxian Manor definitely had other thoughts.

Before Zi Nu could say anything else, Gu Xun suddenly smiled and said, "Hey, the guests are here."

He came to Huafang today for another purpose: to meet guests.

Zi Nu showed no surprise when she heard this, and calmly turned her gaze to the door.

Sure enough, someone immediately pushed the door open and came in.

Wearing a long blue skirt embellished with gold covering her body, she is Concubine Dongjun Yan.

She made an appointment with Gu Xun for today's meeting, but the meeting place was decided by Gu Xun.

Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar Feiyan girl enter the room, Zi Nu first smiled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Dongjun is coming. Zi Nu was rude and did not arrange a suitable place to receive her."

Concubine Yan glanced at her and responded calmly, "Miss Zi, you're welcome, this is the right place."

Gu Xun stretched out his hand forward and said, "Sit down."

Concubine Yan did not refuse. She took a few steps forward and sat down on her knees.

Zi Nu opened a tea cup with her own hands with a sense of ownership and poured a cup of tea for Concubine Yan.

"Just tell me if you have anything to do." Gu Xun said bluntly with a smile, looking at the green smoke rising from the tea.

Concubine Yan didn't say anything, but glanced at Zi Nu who was sitting beside her. She obviously didn't want Zi Nu to listen.

Gu Xun could see what she was thinking, but he didn't respond. He looked at Concubine Yan lazily, waiting quietly for the other party to speak first.

Concubine Yan was also stubborn. She also looked at Gu Xun but said nothing.

The two of them stared at each other in a stalemate, while a cup of hot tea gradually became cold.

Zi Nu sat aside, watching the two of them competing in the void, and wanted to laugh a little. Finally, she shook her head and took the initiative to break the deadlock and said, "I will deal with some things about Zilanxuan first, and prepare your lunch by the way."

After that, without waiting for Gu Xun's response, he stood up and left the cabin.

Gu Xun did not forcefully compete with Concubine Yan, and did not deliberately keep Zi Nu. He then said to Concubine Yan, "Can we talk now?"

Concubine Yan's eyes flashed with a cold look of dissatisfaction. After taking a long breath, she asked coldly, "The Imperial Master is going to Shu?"

Gu Xun picked up the tea cup, and with the real energy flowing in his palm, he reheated the water and asked with a smile, "The information is quite good... What, can't I go?"

Concubine Yan ignored his words and asked again, "For... the Fuso tree?"
