Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 680 Concubine Yan’s Choice
  Hearing this, Zhang Han had no choice but to smile bitterly and shut up.

He has the reputation of supervising the army, but he has no ability to supervise the army.

So weak, pitiful and helpless.

Gu Xun asked him again, "Have you done everything I asked you to do?"

Zhang Han cried and laughed a few more times, then reluctantly replied, "Uh... everything has been arranged."

Gu Xun suddenly arranged some work for him two days ago, um... some dirty work.

One is to spread news to smear Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, saying that he is treasonous, colluding with foreign countries, and has evil intentions.

This is pure slander and disgusting. Gu Xun didn't even have the intention to create false evidence to deal with it, so he just let Zhang Han just make it up with his mouth.

However, these slanderous rumors did not spread all over the world. Gu Xun just ordered Zhang Han to spread them to the ears of some powerful officials and nobles who were suitable to know the news.

Theoretically, this move was just a fool's errand, not to mention how to make Ying Zheng believe the empty talk. The most important thing is that Zhang Han only started to arrange this after getting permission from Ying Zheng.

But Gu Xun didn't need anyone to believe it. It was enough for Yan Dan to vaguely know that there was such a thing.

With his eyes and ears closed in Xianyang, he couldn't hear any information that was too obscure.

The second thing was to ask Zhang Han to deliver a message to the imperial physician Ling Huangshan on his behalf.

Generally speaking, it is to let Huangshan pick out the problems with the medicines donated by the Yin and Yang family. It is best to further trouble the Yunzhongjun who makes the medicine.

Because Gu Xun made it clear that if there was any trouble, Huangshan could just push him, so the other party did not refuse and was already picking on him.

Similarly, this news also spread in a small area under Zhang Han's operation.

What puzzled Zhang Han the most was that during the court meeting this morning, Ying Zheng actually expressed his opinions on these two issues that were purely trouble-making.

First, he reprimanded Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, and once again urged to investigate the assassination of King Qi.

Then, they sent people to Zhaixing Tower to question the Moon God about the medicine donated by the Yin Yang Family, and also brought along Mr. Yun Zhongjun, the minister of medicine.

Zhang Han knew that there must be something fishy going on, and the atmosphere in Xianyang's secret area had been a little strange recently, but he didn't find out what went wrong.

After all, the Shadow Guard is too young, and intelligence is a major weakness. Even if Zhang Han has a sharp eye and a quick mind, he is still too clever to make a meal without rice, and cannot think of Yan Dan out of thin air.

Not to mention Zhang Han, even Zhao Gao, who was holding the snare, could not find out everything because his energy was partially distracted by Gongbu. He only vaguely noticed that Yan Dan seemed to be a little dishonest.

Gu Xun was well aware of Zhang Han's doubts, but did not explain them. He would naturally understand them later.

To put it bluntly, Gu Xun just took advantage of the situation.

It was the Yin Yang family's plan to let Yan Dan escape, and this plan definitely required Ying Zheng's cooperation to prevent the net from being too strong and actually intercepting the person.

Now that Luo Wang and the Yin Yang family have made it clear that they want to act with Yan Dan, Gu Xun takes the opportunity to make some false accusations, and Ying Zheng also responds to these remarks.

As for whether Yan Dan would see the problem... Since Ying Zheng followed Gu Xun's head and attacked, he would naturally guarantee that he could deceive Yan Dan.

Anyway, what Yan Dan wanted was to escape, so Ying Zheng let him escape, while Gu Xun just spent some worthless words and almost got the promise to Yan Dan done.

In this way, Yan Dan, Ying Zheng, Gu Xun, the Yin and Yang family, all of them have achieved their goals...a real world where no one is hurt.

Ah... there is no guarantee whether you will be injured in the future. After all, the warranty has an expiration date.

Gu Xun received the response, nodded casually, and then asked casually, "You and I have gone to Shu County, who will take care of the Shadow Guards?"

"The generals have already made arrangements. They will handle small matters by themselves. As for important matters, they will report them to the generals as soon as possible and then deal with them."

"It also happens to open up the Shadow Guard's intelligence channels in the Sichuan and Sichuan areas." "Well... that's good." Gu Xun murmured in response, seeming to be a little absent-minded.

Zhang Han looked at his face, and then thought of the two of them hurrying along at an inexplicable speed, and asked carefully, "What does the Imperial Master seem to be waiting for?"

"Well..." Gu Xun nodded directly without hiding anything, "I'm waiting for the result."

Zhang Han nodded secretly and didn't ask any more questions.

………………

On the outskirts of Xianyang City, on the mountainside of Lishan Mountain, in the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital.

In the Star Observation Hall, Donghuang Taiyi stood in the center under the stars, standing silently.

Concubine Dongjun Yan stood not far in front of him with her head lowered, still saying nothing.

In fact, the two had already communicated, and Concubine Yan made a choice, and it was this that created the silence in front of her.

After a while, Donghuang Taiyi's dull voice sounded, "Dongjun, do you know what you are doing?"

Concubine Yan did not hesitate and replied bluntly, "I know very well. I just implore Lord Donghuang to be more lenient."

"It seems... I made a mistake in sending you to contact Gu Xun from the very beginning." Donghuang Taiyi turned around and looked up at the star map above the zenith - he couldn't see his head, that's probably it.

Concubine Yan couldn't help but want to retort, "No, I..."

He stopped mid-sentence, changed his words and repeated what he had said before, "I beg you, Mr. Donghuang, to be more tolerant."

"Do you know that you are sabotaging my Yin Yang family's thousand-year plan?" Donghuang Taiyi ignored the other party's request and asked in an uncharacteristically cold tone.

Then he asked more similar content:
  "Did you know that you are the deputy head of the Yin Yang family?"

"Did you know that you were raised and raised by one hand?"

"Do you know that the mission you carry cannot be shied away from?"

Every time Donghuang Taiyi asked, Concubine Yan's face turned pale, revealing a tenderness and poignancy that had never been shown in front of others.

For her, the reason why she has never made up her mind to break up with the Yin Yang family is not just because she is afraid of the power of Donghuang Taiyi - if it were this reason, it would be easier to handle, and she would have gotten rid of it long ago.

In Gu Xun's view, the Yin Yang family is a cold and ruthless organization with strict hierarchies and serious internal struggles. There is nothing worth remembering.

But for Concubine Yan, the Yin and Yang family... was indeed what Gu Xun thought it was, but at this moment, now that she had actually made a certain choice, it was a little different after all.

Behind the deathly coldness, there is the precious warmth that she once needed. It may be false, or it may be just her own wishful thinking, but it must be difficult to let go.

This made her feel a little weak when facing Donghuang Taiyi's questioning.

When Emperor Donghuang saw Concubine Yan reacting like this, she took advantage of the victory and pursued her, "Dongjun, give up your idea, and I can forget about it."

"Concubine..." Concubine Yan's delicate face was pale and she shook her head hesitantly, not knowing what to say.

　By the way, I have not officially mentioned Zhao Gao's physical condition in the article.

　　At present, there is no concrete conclusion on whether he is an eunuch. I was also struggling at first, but when I thought about it later, I was just torturing myself.

　　What's there to think about? He's a pure villain, no matter what he should be, just arrange to be brought down by a eunuch.
