Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 699 Hitting the road
  After Zhang Han left, Moon God entered the room.

Gu Xun sat aside, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, his eyes switching between Luna and Concubine Yan, as if he was just watching the fun.

Moon God and Yan Fei faced each other.

Concubine Yan was the first to speak, and asked in a calm tone, "You came alone, do you want to take me back?"

Luna didn't answer, but everyone knew the answer, which was obviously impossible.

She swept her eyes away from Gu Xun, and then asked Concubine Yan, "Is this your choice, to completely betray?"

Concubine Yan's eyes darkened and she retorted softly, "You know very well that I, including you, all of you, have never had the right to choose."

"Even if you insist that this is a choice, it belongs to others, not to me."

Luna couldn't help but asked again, "Whose choice do you want to say this is?"

"Is it from the National Master or Lord Donghuang?"

Concubine Yan had no intention of arguing with Moon God about this subjective idea, and said perfunctorily, "That's who you think it is."

Gu Xun saw that the two sisters were just talking nonsense, and finally couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "So the Moon God Protector came to visit late at night just to reminisce and gossip?"

Hearing the sound, Moon God turned his gaze and looked at Gu Xun, "The Imperial Master...is he determined to go his own way and protect Dongjun?"

Gu Xun leaned back, his eyes dropped, and he looked at Luna with a hint of contempt, "As far as I know, you two can be considered sisters who grew up together. You should have some feelings for each other, right?"

"Are you unhappy that I'm protecting her?"

Yueshen did not comment on Gu Xun's statement, but reminded him, "The Imperial Master should know that Dong Jun is not only involved in the Yin Yang family's plan, but also the longevity that King Qin dreams of, right?"

"Are you going to go against the Qin court for her?"

"Haha..." Gu Xun laughed twice with unknown meaning, but to Luna God's ears, it clearly contained sarcasm.

Regarding Luna's self-righteous warning, if he hadn't seen that the other party's attitude was more of a reminder than a threat, he would have considered asking Luna to lie down in bed and rest for a month after returning.

"This kind of thing doesn't worry the Moon God Protector. Whether it's the Qin State or the Yin Yang Family, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say hello."

"If the Imperial Master insists on disobeying the king's order, isn't he worried about Xianyang's family?"

Gu Xun half-raised his eyelids and sneered full of sarcasm, "Don't think that everyone is like your Yin-Yang family, they only know how to do some dirty tricks."

"Some things, if not solved in a dignified way, will only lead to endless disasters."

"There are reasons why Ying Zheng can sit on the throne and look down on the world, while Donghuang Taiyi can only cover himself in a black robe."

"They are all just standing where they should be."

"..." Yueshen had nothing to say to Gu Xun's merciless sarcasm and contempt.

Who told their family leader to have this kind of virtue?

There are hundreds of schools and sects, but only the head of the Yin Yang family is so shameless...

At this time, Gu Xun warned again, "By the way, I just want you to give Donghuang Taiyi a few reminders. Ying Zheng is very good at doing things, but he may not be."

"Mind your own hands. Don't even think about things you shouldn't do. Don't give me a reason that makes me ignore Ying Zheng's attitude and have to kill him."

"Furthermore, Concubine Yan's matter has caused him to give up his thoughts as soon as possible. If he has this free time, he might as well think about any remedies."

"If Concubine Yan is gone, his plan will be completely impossible... Haha..." Gu Xun couldn't help but sneered and said in a joking tone, "He has no value to Ying Zheng, which means he can die. "

"I think he doesn't want to die yet?" Gu Xun's naked threat, even though it was not directed at Luna, still made her expression change, and her eyelids couldn't help but twitch slightly.

When others said this, Luna would just ignore it as a joke, but when Gu Xun said this...

She couldn't help but wonder what Lord Donghuang's attitude would be towards this.

Although she shouldn't have such treacherous thoughts.

Having said that, there is no need to say more. The Moon God finally said to Concubine Yan, "Take care of yourself."

After saying that, she was about to leave, but Concubine Yan interrupted her steps:
  "Moon God...or I may call you sister this time."

"This is my last advice to you - maybe some of the things you have been pursuing will not be so important to you in the end."

"Let's give up some unnecessary things appropriately."

Luna didn't respond, took the stopped steps again, and left here.

Afterwards, Gu Xun asked Concubine Yan with a smile on his face, "Have you been relying on the shortfall given by Donghuang Taiyi for so many years..."

Halfway through his words, he remembered that there is no such thing as a check these days, so he changed his mind and said, "Are you just living on the cakes drawn by Donghuang Taiyi?"

Concubine Yan raised her phoenix eyes and rolled her eyes at him, "To the high-ranking Imperial Master, Master Donghuang may not be worth mentioning, but to those of us, he is the superior one who cannot resist."

"Everything we have comes from Headmaster Donghuang, so naturally we are powerless to resist."

"Besides, although Canglong Qisu's true appearance has not yet been glimpsed, I and others have also felt a trace of its power."

Gu Xun thought for a while and came up with a guess, "Copper box?"

Concubine Yan nodded, "Although I and others can't really open the box, with the help of astrology, we can still feel the vast power inside."

"Very powerful?" Gu Xun asked curiously.

Concubine Yan shook her head, "It's not powerful, but a...wonderful feeling. It's vast and majestic. It makes people feel lost and intoxicated, but they don't know why."

What an illusory and empty description... Gu Xun waved his hand in disinterest, "Go and rest if you have nothing to do."

………………

The next day, the Moon God led the Yin and Yang family members to leave Nanzheng City and head towards Xianyang, the royal capital in the northeast.

On the other side of the city, Gu Xun and the others also embarked on their journey south to Shu.

At the same time, the second war between Qin and Zhao that lasted for nearly two months finally came to an end.

The outcome of the war was not what the Qin court wanted, and it ended with Qin withdrawing its troops.

The Qin State started a war on two fronts. The strategy of attacking fiercely with the main force while dividing the troops to harass did not work. Li Mu did not fall into the trap and rushed back to support, and firmly led the main army to firmly withstand Wang Jian's offensive.

Sima Shang stabilized the harassment in Handan.

There were only two cavalry in charge of the raid. Although they were elite, it was obviously unrealistic to expect them to attack the city. They were only used to put pressure on Zhao Wangqian.

It's a pity that Zhao Wangqian couldn't withstand the pressure, but Li Mu did.

After attacking for more than a month and suffering heavy casualties but achieving no results, the Qin army could only temporarily withdraw its troops and calm down the war.
