Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 712 Explanation
  Hearing this, the disappointment in Shi Qing's eyes increased by a third, and he asked in confusion, "At this time, are you going to continue to deceive me?"

She pointed at Concubine Yan who was in a restless state, "You are a doctor, Zhang Han is a retired soldier, and Feiyan, is she just an ordinary woman who fled to Shu to avoid disaster?"

Shi Lan, who was in Shi Qing's arms, seemed to feel her mother's anger at this time. She poked her little head out of her arms and looked at the culprit who made her mother angry.

Without waiting for Gu Xun's response, the great elder of Shushan comforted Shi Qing, "Qing'er, control your emotions."

"Everything outside Shushan is inherently more complicated than inside the mountain, so you don't need to worry too much."

"Great Elder...I..." Hearing the Great Elder's voice, Shi Qing's mood calmed down a little, but he couldn't let go. He shook his head and was speechless.

At this time, Gu Xun intervened to defend himself, "In a sense, Gu did not deceive you, Miss Shi."

Shi Qing did not answer the call and was temporarily in autistic state.

It was the Great Elder of Shushan who took over the conversation, "If the old man's eyes are still good, this girl is from the Yin Yang family, right?"

"Such a mellow and majestic Longyou Qi must be one of the masters of the three sects. Moreover, this Longyou Qi is domineering and blazing, like the shining sun, without the slightest hint of gentleness and sinisterness... The master of the Ri Zong, Dongjun. "

"Is your guess correct?"

Concubine Yan appeared strange, and her identity was revealed by the Great Elder of Shushan. Zhang Han Wuxia continued to be shocked by the appearance of the three-legged golden crow and Concubine Yan's sudden change. He held the hilt of the sword with his right hand warily, ready to take action at any time.

Gu Xun calmly glanced at Concubine Yan who was still unable to extricate herself, and ignored her for the time being.

The Three-legged Golden Crow seems to have some unknown compatibility with her soul, Longyou. The auras of the two are intersecting, and Concubine Yan's Longyou aura is being purified by the Three-legged Golden Crow.

It's a good thing for her, so it's better not to interrupt.

Then his attention turned back to the Great Elder of Shushan, nodded and admitted, "The Great Elder has good eyesight. She is indeed the deputy head of the Yin Yang Family, the head of the Sun Sect, Dong Jun."

The identity of Yan Fei's Yin Yang family obviously deeply irritated the people in Shushan. Everyone gathered around and looked at Gu Xun and the others with increasingly unkind eyes.

Shi Qing also temporarily came out of his autistic state. He gritted his silver teeth and cursed, "It's you from the Yin Yang family again. As expected, you are still plotting against the sacred tree!"

Under Shi Qing's face, little Shi Lan, who was already somewhat as charming as her mother at a young age, was still looking at Gu Xun.

She was a little strange at the moment. She changed from her usual lazy and aloof attitude and became a little too active.

Gu Xun didn't pay too much attention to the child. He lightly swept his eyes from her little face and returned to the elder. "It seems that there is a deep conflict between the people of Shushan and the Yin and Yang family."

The great elder stroked his beard and asked, "Your Excellency, you are not from the Yin Yang family?"

Gu Xunyi shrugged, "Obviously."

"Actually, even as Dongjun, she doesn't know much about Shushan." Gu Xun pointed at Concubine Yan who was still hanging up. "Otherwise, she wouldn't have known that the Fusang sacred tree in Shushan was actually inhabited. It’s holding a three-legged golden crow.”

The First Elder pondered for a moment, and quickly revealed Gu Xun's identity, "You're not from the Yin Yang family... Are you and that young man named Zhang Han from the Qin State?"

Gu Xun smiled and did not deny it. He only said, "It seems that the Great Elder is very aware of the situation Shushan is facing now."

"But I'm very curious. Since the Great Elder found out that there is a problem with our identity, why did he let us get close to the Fuso Sacred Tree? Even..." Gu Xun glanced at Concubine Yan who was standing aside again, "He even let Dongjun and the Three-Legged Golden Crow touch."

The Great Elder of Shushan smiled, his rickety body trembled three times, and explained, "I have no right to interfere with who the divine bird wants to get close to."

"As for why we put them up... there are many reasons, but the most important thing is that I am very curious, what is the purpose of the three people?" What can three people do? Even if you are all strong enough to form an army, three of you can defeat the entire Shushan tribe, but you still cannot move away the sacred tree.

What's the point of them sneaking in under disguise?
  Seeking information?

After the location of Shushan was found by the Yin and Yang family, there was no more information to obtain.

The great elder of Shushan is very clear about the strength of the Qin State, the newly found ally of the Yin and Yang family. It does not need to think too much about dealing with Shushan, even if Shushan occupies a favorable geographical location and natural dangers.

Absolute power detects it, and no one can do anything about it.

Regarding this question, Gu Xun blinked and replied innocently, "If I said that we came to Shushan without any malicious intent, would you believe it?"

All of Yu Yuan's guards, including Shi Qing, ignored him... Do you think we will believe it?
  Gu Xun curled his lips, not caring about his frustration, and continued to explain, "I'm just curious."

"Just like what I said to you, Miss Shi, at the beginning, I came to the land of Bashu mainly to indulge in the mountains and rivers and visit the scenery. It's just that Shu Mountain happens to be a place that I am very interested in."

"I won't believe you anymore." Shi Qing just replied coldly.

"I just said that, in a sense, I didn't lie to you." Gu Xun smacked his lips, "I am really a doctor, a famous doctor in the seven countries. Of course... the land of Bashu may not be that famous."

"As for Zhang Han, he was originally a military prince in the Qin army. Although he still holds a military position, he does no longer lead the army. He is just taking orders under my hand."

The Shadow Guards obviously don't count as an army... Gu Xun classified in his mind.

"There is also Concubine Yan, also known as Dongjun. She really fled to Bashu to avoid disaster." Gu Xun pointed at Concubine Yan for the last time, "And her disaster happened to be the Yin Yang family."

"The leader of the Yin Yang family, Donghuang Taiyi, forced her to do a task that she didn't want to do. In desperation, she betrayed the Yin Yang family."

"She happened to have some friendship with me, so she fled to Bashu and stayed with me temporarily."

"These are all truths." Gu Xun spread his hands and explained sincerely.

Zhang Han stood aside and watched all the Yu Yuan guards carefully... Yes, what the Imperial Master said was right!
  They are indeed correct, but there are some discrepancies in the details.

Shi Qing looked at Gu Xun's face that didn't look like he was lying. He didn't know whether to believe him or not, so he had to turn his attention to the great elder.

The old man was still relatively steady and was not affected by the fancy explanations. He smiled and asked in a leisurely manner, "Then what is your identity within the Qin State? You can actually be listened to by people in the military, and you can also Protect Dong Jun who betrayed the Yin Yang family."

Since he was asked bluntly, Gu Xun did not hide anything and said frankly, "I am the national preceptor of the Qin State."

"I don't know if you know the official positions of the Qin State. Anyway, my status as a national advisor is basically a false title."

"For King Qin, the main value of my existence at present is to check and balance the Yin and Yang family."

　I typed the wrong chapter number...Sorry.

　　One more thing to say, seven days from the 27th, I may not update on certain days or days.

　　My father is going to have a minor surgery, which is not a big problem, but he needs someone to take care of him after the surgery, so I may not have enough time.

　　Anyway, I try my best to keep it updated, but if I don't update it one day, please forgive me.
