Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 720 Stepping into the Dark
  Gu Xun believed in Shushan's admonition that entering Yuyuan would definitely be an act of death and no life.

But he didn't think he would.

This was a mysterious feeling, and he felt that he would not die easily in Yu Yuan.

Although it is not scientific at all to talk about the sixth sense in the martial arts world, after learning astrology, Gu Xun found that he still had this inexplicable feeling from time to time, and there was no mistake.

Uh... I can only say that this is the characteristic of the Qin Dynasty world, and you can't help but taste it.

"In that case..." Gu Xun stared into the abyss and murmured softly.

When Concubine Yan saw Gu Xun's performance, she knew that this handsome man was going to mess around again. Long You's aura exploded, suppressing the surrounding Yu Yuan's aura, and wanted to step forward to stop Gu Xun.

The great elder of Shushan also saw that Gu Xun was determined to go into Yuyuan to explore, and he hurriedly stopped him.

It's a pity that neither of them can catch up with Gu Xun's speed.

"Then Gu, let's go down and find out."

Following the second half of Gu Xun's words, he suddenly jumped into this eternal black hole.

Just like Yu Yuan gave people the feeling, its interior was pure and unpeepable darkness. Once Gu Xun's body was submerged in it, it could no longer be directly observed by the Great Elder of Shushan and Concubine Yan who were outside.

They could only vaguely feel that Yu Yuan had undergone some changes.

………………

Outside of Shu, Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, ushered in a new wave of envoys, belonging to South Korea.

This time the Korean envoys came to ask for peace, and the price they decided to pay was South Korea's Nanyang land.

Once Nanyang is ceded, it means that only the Gyeonggi area near Xinzheng will be left in Korea.

How should I put it? South Korea, which lost Nanyang, was stronger than the Wei Kingdom, which was almost destroyed by Lu Buwei, but it was also very limited.

In this era, land represents people. Without Nanyang, South Korea has lost more than 70% of its grain production and more than half of its people. This also means that South Korea's current army needs to be reduced by at least 70%, or even more.

Population is not allowed, food is not allowed, and even... Qin may not allow it.

This is an act of national subjugation, a real act of national subjugation. From now on, if Qin wants to destroy South Korea, it will only be a thought.

South Korea, which has made such a huge sacrifice, can only gain a few years of peace at most.

But for Han Wangan, this is enough. What he wants is to be able to live the rest of his life in peace.

As for what will happen to South Korea after his death... never mind him!

Within South Korea, the prime minister, Sima Shenyan, Zuo Sima Weizhuang, Situ Zhangliang, and even the fourth son Han Yu tried their best to dissuade Han Wangan from giving up this decision. Only General Ji Wuye did not express his position on this. Of course, he Secretly kept in touch with Luo Wang.

Although all the officials in the Manchu Dynasty opposed it, King An of Han, who was afraid of Qin like a tiger and a wolf, resolutely chose to hand over Nanyang to serve Qin in exchange for the so-called peace between the two countries for the sake of his own stability.

The Qin State was well aware of this, and they had not yet planned to formally launch troops against South Korea.

In the previous battle with Zhao, Qin had lost a lot of food and supplies and lost a lot of troops. It was not a good time to continue to send troops abroad.

South Korea's behavior of using a knife on itself, cutting off the meat and feeding it to Qin, and completely destroying itself... How should I put it? With Han Wangan's temperament, Ying Zheng can understand it, but he can't understand it. .

His rational judgment told Ying Zheng that although this was outrageous, it was not impossible, but his perceptual knowledge made him doubt - can people really be so stupid?
  Regardless of whether it was possible or not, the reality was that the meat was indeed delivered to his mouth, and all Ying Zheng should do was swallow it in one gulp.

But Han Fei, who was in Qin State, could not accept this result.

He could naturally see the fact that once Nanyang was ceded, South Korea would be destroyed.

In order to change this result, he began to try to make his own efforts, meaningless efforts. In fact, there was nothing to do, other than to find the Korean envoys and try to dissuade them from disobeying the king's order.

But Han Wangan always shows some cleverness in places where he shouldn't be clever.

He knew that almost everyone did not agree with his order, so this time he arranged for all the envoys to be palace servants who were absolutely loyal to him.

Han Fei didn't even see the envoy, so he was rejected and returned without success.

But he still refused to give up. If he failed to persuade South Korea, he would start from Qin's side.

Now, as a minister of Qin, he tried to prevent Qin from expanding its territory. Han Fei knew full well what a sin this was.

However, the self-destructive thing like moths flying into flames is never changed by the results of knowing it.

And everything he did and planned to do was clearly seen by Mo Ya and others.

………………

In the atrium of the Imperial Master's Mansion, Jingli continued her daily activities of looking after the children.

Ayan and Aci have been getting closer and closer recently, and the two of them are like a pair of brothers...or maybe it should be said that they are siblings.

Ayan, who is less than two years old, is like a kid. He always instructs the stupid Aci to do various things, and Aci will always obey this little sister's words.

Mo Crow's dark figure floated silently in the courtyard. After looking at the children playing not far away, he bowed to Jing Salamander and said, "I've met Madam."

Jing Salamander looked at Mo Ya, his gentle maternal smile instantly disappeared, turning into a cold expression, "What's the matter?"

Mo Ya was also used to his mistress's cold expression. He knew that the other party was not cold-hearted, but more cold-faced. He lowered his head and replied, "The Korean envoy came to Xianyang to ask for peace. Ninth Young Master, he seems to be I don’t quite accept this result.”

After hearing this, Jing Salamang frowned, thought about it and then replied, "This matter... you should go to Zi Nu to discuss how to deal with it."

"You can come to me again if necessary."

This so-called necessity means that a situation arises that requires Jingyu to take action.

Mo Ya was not surprised that Jingyu left the matter to Zi Nu.

Han Fei's matter involves his boss Gu Xun, and also involves Zi Nu. Now that the boss is away, it is naturally best for Zi Nu to decide how to deal with it.

However, he is now nominally under orders from Jing Salamander. Even if he knows what the final result will be, he cannot go directly to Zi Nu.

Maybe Frightened Salamander wouldn't care, but Mo Crow couldn't do such an unruly operation.

"I understand." Mo Ya nodded and accepted the order, then jumped up and left.

Jing Salamander glanced at the departing Mo Crow, and then turned his attention back to the child.

She was not interested in Han Fei's affairs. For Gu Xun's sake, she would not refuse what she needed to do, but she was too lazy to bother with it.

Frightened Salamander often couldn't understand Han Fei's various behaviors.

It's obvious that you can be a leisurely person, which is something many people can't ask for, so why bother looking for trouble?

　Suddenly I realized that the Tomb Sweeping Day was approaching and my father had no time to visit his grave, so all this matter fell on me.

　　Three graves cannot be visited in one day... time is quite tight.
