Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1051 Talking in Circles
  Crack!

The scorching dead branches suddenly exploded with a crisp sound, causing the orange flames of the fire to tremble.

Gu Xun sat boredly by the fire, holding a slightly thick branch and stirring the branches and leaves in the center of the fire.

He turned to look at Luna and others who were still stopping and looking not far away, and said, "Why don't you come over and warm up by the fire? It's not a good day. It's cold and cold. It's not a big deal if the wind blows all the time."

Looking at the fire rising in Gu Xun, Yue Shen's eyelids trembled several times, but finally gave in to his inner choice and nodded, "Then... it's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

The reason why she agreed was not that Yue Shen was coveting a mere fire, or that she was too cold or too dark, but she just felt that it was a bit ridiculous for Gu Xun to warm up over the fire while they blew the breeze over here.

To be more specific, it would make them look like a bunch of fools.

As we all know, all masters of external training have a pair of copper skin and iron bones, which are stronger than gold and stone, and are invulnerable to weapons and bullets.

But this does not mean that these masters of horizontal training will not take the ordinary path and have to jump into the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire!
  The same applies to other areas as well.

Of course the Moon Goddess and the others are not afraid of the night wind or the cold, but they are very retarded if they are not heated by fire.

Together with Gu Xun, there were six people in total, loosely surrounding the fire, but deliberately leaving a gap.

That direction is downwind, and whoever sits in it will be burned by the flames. Under normal circumstances, it is an act that makes oneself uncomfortable.

The eyes of Luna God and others were all fixed on the blazing fire, but the corner of their eyes were focused on Gu Xun.

This guy went out of his way to build such a fire. It was absolutely impossible for him to invite them over to warm themselves by the fire.

As expected, within a moment, Gu Xun spoke to Shao Siming, who was closest to him, with a kind smile on his face:

"Little girl, how old are you?"

Shao Siming turned his head and faced Gu Xun directly, his clear eyes on the half veil staring at him without any emotion, without saying a word.

"..."

He hit a wall when he came up. Gu Xun was not discouraged or unhappy. He continued to ask with a smile, "Then...how many years have you been a member of the Yin Yang family?"

"..." Shao Siming remained silent as always.

"Ah... the little girl doesn't seem to be very talkative." Gu Xun shook his head and said with a serious look, "You still need to talk more and have more contact with people. You see, you are still so young. You can't waste your life in the future. ah!"

This time, Shao Siming finally had some extra reaction - she turned her head back and faced the fire again.

When she was assigning seats just now, she was a step too slow, so that all the seats not next to Gu Xun were occupied, and in the end only this one was left.

She had no choice.

Of course, she doesn't really have any choice. If she has confidence in her internal strength, she can still sit on the wind.

Shao Siming had no opinion on this.

As a three-no girl, her attitude towards Gu Xun is relatively the calmest among them. Emotions such as fear, jealousy, fear, curiosity, etc. are non-existent.
  But now she feels a little regretful.

This person was too noisy, and he was completely different from the person she imagined who had once single-handedly broke into the Luosheng Hall, the headquarters of the Yin Yang family without any scruples.

Gu Xun was still nagging at this time, "If you are really afraid of social interaction, you can try to make changes little by little. For example, now, if I chat with you, you can talk to me without using words in response, but at least try to do something simple. Respond."

Listening to these words, Shao Siming's eyes became duller and duller - I'm not afraid of social interaction, I just don't speak!

"For example, you can nod or smile to show me your desire to communicate."

Shao Siming: No, I have no desire to communicate!

"Start with something simple, gradually increase the channels and methods to enhance communication, and return to normal little by little."

I feel like I'm pretty normal now...

Under Gu Xun's continuous harassment, Shao Siming rarely reacted and repeatedly tried to reply to him with his eyes - shut up!

Moon God couldn't stand it any longer. He frowned and interrupted Gu Xundao, "Young Siming's silence has nothing to do with what the Imperial Master said!"

"What does that have to do with?" Gu Xun's interest did not diminish and he immediately asked, "I am a doctor and my eyes are very good. I can tell at a glance whether this girl is mute."

"This is not a concern for the Imperial Master." Yueshen did not give an answer, but replied calmly.

"Ha!" Gu Xun grinned and asked playfully, "Let me ask the last question, is she unwilling to say it, or... can't say it?"

Luna's eyes darkened, and she replied in the same tone, "Can't the National Master be able to tell whether she is mute? Do you still need to ask us for an answer to this question?"

"I can't say...it's not just a possibility of pathological problems." Gu Xunruo responded with a pointed smile.

It has been many years since he rescued Xiaoling from Luoshengtang and the little girl officially ascended to the position of elder of the Yin Yang family's wood chief. Gu Xun and her have met many times.

Of course, most of them were just casual encounters, simple face-to-face encounters. The only time we had more exchanges was when we went back to Loulan.

Every time Gu Xun saw this girl, she had no mood swings at all, like a corpse that had lost its mind.

This is not normal.

Of course there are people in this world who are cold-tempered, withdrawn, do not like to socialize, and are taciturn...

but!

Her level cannot be simply explained by her temperament.

Gu Xun had long suspected this, but in the past he had not cared about it and had no intention of exploring it.

And now...he still doesn't care.

I talked about this matter in a roundabout way just because I was bored and I had to find something to talk about.

He felt that the effect was pretty good. Not only did it arouse the emotions of the three-no girl, but he also rubbed the moon god by the way.

Of course, good results come at a price.

The price is that he successfully opened the topic and successfully ended the topic.

Everything returned to silence.

Dead silence doesn't sound like a good word, but it is indeed loved by many people.

Moon God was very satisfied with this silence and wished that the night could just pass by like this.

Unfortunately, things always backfired. Gu Xun did not let her enjoy the stability for too long, and soon changed to the next target - Da Siming, who was next to Shao Siming.

When he saw Gu Xun's stereotyped smile, Da Siming almost cried. She said that she should have tried her best to take away the seat where Ehuang was sitting - it was the place farthest from Guxun and closest to the Moon God.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world, so she can only wait helplessly for Gu Xun's 'patronage'.

Facing Da Siming, Gu Xun did not start with nonsense like he did with Shao Siming, but first comforted him, "Looking at the nervous look on your face, those who don't know may think I'm going to eat you. "

"Relax, after all, I am still your benefactor."

"Huh?" Although he was afraid of Gu Xun, Da Siming couldn't help but make a sound of confusion at this time.

"Master Imperial Master, where should I start with this?"

You say you bully the weak, and we don't dare to say or ask, but why do you still go on the offensive of favors for no reason?
  He was so confused that he owed others a favor without even knowing it! ?
  Is there any royal law?
  Luna also looked confused at this time, but she had a vague and unclear twists and turns in her heart, which seemed to be able to explain Gu Xun's statement.

It's just that she hasn't completely figured out the logical relationship yet.

Gu Xun cleared up everyone's doubts at this time and replied, "I killed the previous Fire Chief of the Yin Yang Family with my own hands."

"If it weren't for me, with that guy's lively attitude, God knows how long he would have survived."

"If he doesn't die, can you ascend to the position of Chief Commander?"

"To round it off, I personally sent you to the throne of elder!" Gu Xun said this in a very seductive tone.

Da Siming nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and looked very much in agreement - she was not as indifferent as Shao Siming, and she didn't dare to deny it!
  Of course, if you look at Gu Xun out of context, it can't be said to be unreasonable.

At least...if the previous Fire Elder lives forever, she will indeed not be able to ascend to the position of elder.

But the problem is, firstly, Gu Xun did not kill to help himself, and secondly, even if Gu Xun did not take action, she, who was already a candidate for the elder of the fire at that time, might be tasked with killing the previous elder and taking over the elder position at any time.

This can be said to be common in the Yin and Yang family, just like the current Sanwu Shao Siming. If the predecessor Shao Siming hadn't happened to die, Yan Ji would have had to take over Shao Siming's position like this.

Even the reason why Concubine Yan used to lie to Yan Dan had this in mind, and Yan Dan had no doubts about it.

In the final analysis, this is also the institutional characteristic of their Yin Yang family.

Seeing how Da Siming had no choice but to succumb to Gu Xun's "obscene power", Yue Shen couldn't help but his head was pounding. He was speechless at Gu Xun's poor logic, and also lamented the unsatisfactory performance of his subordinates.

The two sisters, Ehuang and Nvying, smiled slightly or deeply, completely acting as spectators.

It can be seen from this scene that the Yin Yang family does not have a sense of collective honor.

As for Gu Xun openly teasing Da Siming about killing the former Yin Yang elder, Ehuang Nvying expressed that she was very willing to have fun and didn't care about the sect's face.

Even Yueshen, who is almost half of the deputy head, is more angry at Gu Xun for using nonsense logic to deceive his subordinates, rather than angry at Gu Xun's wanton and arrogant performance that damages the reputation of their Yin Yang family. .

Gu Xun didn't care about the reactions of Yueshen and others. He looked at Da Siming with a smile and continued, "Since you agree, shouldn't you... show some expression?"

Seeing the dual hints from Gu Xun's words and eyes, Da Siming suddenly showed a panicked look, his eyes wandered wildly, and he responded with a stumbling voice, "This... this... National Master, you... I..."

This kind of bewildered performance is very much like a weak and delicate wife who is suddenly knocked down by the bully and is infinitely shy.

Unfortunately, in actual situations, this kind of confusion is just a simple panic.

If you suddenly receive such a hint from someone who you are unable to resist and dare not resist, you would panic!
  Da Siming didn't have any thoughts in her heart, only regret - she shouldn't have participated in this mission!

In a panic, Da Siming had no choice but to turn his head and look at the Moon God, hoping that this person could help him out.

The Moon God naturally lived up to the expectations...or should I say lived up to the great commander's expectations, so he interjected, "Whatever the Imperial Master wants to do, you might as well say it directly."

Unlike Da Siming, Yueshen knew very well that Gu Xun could not mess with the relationship between men and women.

Da Siming's understanding of Gu Xun can only be said to be half-knowledge, which is also mixed with many hearsays. Among the many rumors, there is indeed no lack of criticism of Gu Xun's illness.

Therefore, Da Siming was really worried that this powerful and powerful national master might have some thoughts that she did not want to have.

As a tool man of Donghuang Taiyi, Da Siming is willing to be a tool, but not a toy!

Gu Xun grinned, "Yue Shen, you still understand me, but please don't worry, I don't have any demands that force others to do anything. I just want to ask some questions."

"..." Moon God said nothing on his face, but his heart trembled.

The last thing she wants to hear now is Gu Xun's problem.

But like Da Siming, when facing Gu Xun, many times he has no choice.

Seeing that Yueshen didn't respond, Gu Xun smiled and didn't care, assuming that she acquiesced.

"Let me ask you one thing first. Does Grand Siming... or Elder Fire know how to curse the six souls?"

As soon as they heard the Six Souls Fear Curse, the expressions of Yueshen and Da Siming changed. The difference was that the former's control was slightly better and not so obvious.

The Six Soul Horror Curse, as a taboo spell that has been nominally banned, is indeed a sensitive topic.

However, the reason why the two of them reacted so greatly could not be just because of the name of such a forbidden spell, but the purpose of their trip to the machine city.

Although the Moon God said before that fate would guide everything, in fact Donghuang Taiyi still assigned the task.

Part of this mission is the Yin Yang family's own goal, and part is to cooperate with the imperial army attacking the city.

During the mission, Ehuang Nvying was responsible for coordinating the Moon God's actions in the agency city, Shao Siming was responsible for intercepting possible messengers sent by the agency city to inform the city, and Da Siming was responsible for finding suitable opportunities to bring the six souls to the city. A fear curse was placed on the Mohist giant.

Luna obtained this plan from Donghuang Taiyi, and then she conveyed it to Da Si Ming and several others. The entire process was conveyed orally, leaving no written information and no other people present.

Theoretically, it is impossible for this kind of information to be leaked, unless someone hides his whereabouts and eavesdrops while they are talking, or Donghuang Taiyi and one of them leaks it privately.

The former is basically impossible.

Yueshen was taking Da Siming and others out of Xianyang, relaying the mission goal in a deserted place with an unobstructed view. In order to guard against special talents like Bai Feng and Mo Ya, even small animals were ensured.

And Donghuang Taiyi gave the mission to the Moon God in the Star Observation Hall, and there was no room for eavesdropping in that kind of place.

The latter... is even more useless.

After Da Siming and others learned about the mission, they never left Luna's sight, let alone leaked the information.

Although Yueshen often leaks some not-so-secret (in her opinion) information about the Yin Yang family, she has never told Gu Xun about this matter.

It can't be Donghuang Taiyi who leaked it, right?
