Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 717 Win-win
  Seeing that the great elder of Shushan was willing to cooperate, Gu Xun nodded with satisfaction.

It's easier to deal with smart people. If you encounter the so-called tough guy who can't see the situation clearly and refuses to bow his head, Gu Xun won't be able to let Shushan go even if he wants to.

"In this case, when Concubine Yan returns to normal, there will be Elder Lao."

The great elder of Shushan could only sigh slightly again and turned to look at Concubine Yan, who was still in a strange state.

Everyone just waited quietly for Concubine Yan to return to normal.

However, during this process, the power of the Fuso Sacred Tree also unknowingly seeped into Shi Lan's body in Shi Qing's arms.

Because the power of Fuso Shenmu had been largely dissipated during the previous battle, no one noticed this, including Gu Xun.

The wait lasted from noon to dusk, and it was almost halfway through Shen hour.

Accompanied by a clear and high-pitched cry of the Golden Crow, Concubine Yan's uncontrollably released Longyou Qi finally returned to her control and was absorbed back into her body bit by bit.

This is obviously a win-win change.

Gu Xun could clearly feel that Concubine Yan's Longyou Qi had become more than three levels of pure. Even for an outstanding genius like her, it would probably be unrealistic for her to make such great progress within three to five years.

Although Gu Xun could not accurately judge the condition of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, the extremely comfortable look on its humanized bird face was enough to know that it was definitely not at a disadvantage.

This divine bird flew back to the top of the Fuso sacred tree's crown and stood proudly on the branch, without even looking at Gu Xun and the others below.

After returning to normal, Concubine Yan's eyelids trembled slightly and then suddenly opened. However, because she had not opened her eyes for several hours, she could not adapt to the sunlight. She was so stung that she couldn't help but blink a few times quickly before she could clearly see the surrounding situation.

Well...it seems like there is peace, but Concubine Yan knows that this is obviously impossible. Such a big unexpected change has suddenly happened to her. No matter how big the people in Shushan are, they will understand that something is wrong.

Taking a closer look, the devastation on the ground and the pale faces of Yu Yuan's guards immediately made Concubine Yan understand - the people from Shushan had taken action, but it was a pity that they obviously had not.

At this time, Gu Xun stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Hey! He's back to his soul."

Concubine Yan didn't bother to care about the other party's childish behavior. She glanced at her and said nothing, waiting for the other party to explain the current situation.

Gu Xun frowned and shrugged boredly, "It's okay, let's go and see the legendary sunset place - Yu Yuan."

Concubine Yan's pupils narrowed and she said suspiciously, "Yu Yuan... It is said that the real duty of the guards of Yu Yuan in Shushan is to protect the seal of Yu Yuan. How dare they allow you to approach there?"

As she said that, Concubine Yan glanced at the Shushan people who were obviously still alive... If this group of people were all dead, it would be okay if no one could stop you.

Regarding Concubine Yan's doubts, the Great Elder of Shushan and others could only smile slightly bitterly.

The situation was not yet desperate, so they had no choice but to give in for the time being.

Gu Xun spread his hands and said with a bright smile, "You should know me. I'm very good at things like negotiation."

Concubine Yan:......

Zhang Han:......

Seeing their expressions of trusting you, Gu Xun had no choice but to add, "...The main reason is that when it comes to Shushan, I am neither on the side of Ying Zheng nor on the side of Donghuang Taiyi." position."

"Even if I can't be considered a friendly unit, I think I can at least be considered a neutral...and a kind neutral who is not interested in the destruction of the world."

Now it was the turn of the great elder of Shushan to not know what to say.

Neutral...you name it. He really didn't want to listen to Gu Xun's unhuman words, so he interrupted and said, "Since His Excellency Dongjun is fine, we can just follow him."

"Great Elder, please." Gu Xun extended his hand and motioned for the other party to lead the way.

The Great Elder of Shushan nodded and ordered the surrounding Yu Yuan guards, "You all should go back first."

It can be seen that in Shushan, the status of the great elder is basically determined by one word. Although Yu Yuan's guards were not very satisfied with this order, they did not question or refute it, and they were still dragging their feet. The child's body went downhill.

Only Shi Qing and Shi Lan in her arms were left.

After the elder hesitated for a moment, he still called Shi Qing and his daughter away, "Qing'er, you should go back too."

"You still have to take care of the child. Alan is too young to go to Yuyuan."

Although Shi Qing was worried about the elder being alone, he couldn't let go of the child, and he knew that even if he stayed, it would be meaningless. He might as well return to the clan first, so he nodded and said:

"Well, Great Elder, please be careful."

After saying that, she took another deep look at Gu Xun, then hugged the child and left.

Gu Xun pretended that he didn't see anything, but Concubine Yan was surprised when she looked at Shi Qing's leaving figure and then at Gu Xun.

"It seems that the Imperial Master has hurt other people's hearts."

"Uh..." Gu Xun pondered for a moment and added, "You also have a share in this, don't let me carry it all by myself."

Concubine Yan didn't respond and just pursed her lips and smiled. What it meant... I can only judge it for myself.

Gu Xun curled his lips and was too lazy to say more to her.

Married women don’t say anything anymore. Their husbands are still alive and their relationship is good. You two are not serious, and everyone else is not serious!
  The great elder of Shushan walked in front and heard the conversation between the two clearly. He smiled bitterly to himself, but did not interrupt.

The emotional topics that Concubine Yan talked about were naturally nonsense, but the sadness was real, and not only was she sad, but she also had a strong sense of self-blame that couldn't be overcome.

He had watched Shi Qing grow up, and he could be said to be one of the people who knew the child's character best.

He may seem a bit unkind and cold, but he is actually a kind person who trusts others easily.

Although she had repeatedly warned her before she left Shushan, all her precautions and vigilance were only superficial protection after all, and could not guard against people with serious intentions.

The great elder of Shushan originally thought that he could bring the matter to an end by taking Gu Xun and others to the Fuso Shenmu, exposing the other party's lies and then capturing or forcing them back.

Although Shi Qing would be sad, it was only a temporary pain.

But he never thought that Gu Xun's strength exceeded his expectations. Even with the blessing of the sacred tree, a group of Yu Yuan guards could not defeat the opponent, causing the situation to rapidly deteriorate...

The great elder of Shushan has no intention of blaming anyone. This situation was also caused by his mistakes in decision-making. Moreover, Shushan has not yet reached the end of its rope. It is the right way to continue and find a way to resolve this matter.

But afterwards, Shi Qing, who thought he was the culprit, found it difficult to forgive himself...

With several people speechless, they went down the mountain along a secluded and narrow road that was different from the one when they went up the mountain.

Gu Xun could tell from the tall fuso tree above his head that the direction he and others were heading was almost exactly where he had guessed before, which completely confirmed that his guess was correct.
