Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1272 A grand topic

Gu Xun had already obtained this information, but he had ignored it and left it to Fusu to deal with it.

Because there is really nothing to worry about. Even if the original plot continues, they are just a few unscrupulous bandits disguised as unknown people, can they still kill him?

"Tell Zhang Han that he will do whatever Fusu wants him to do honestly. How can he have so many other thoughts!"

As soon as he heard this, he knew that it was not just a response, but also a warning.

Nowadays, Gu Xun is no longer the commander of the Shadow Guards, and Zhang Han has been completely subordinated to Fusu. As a subordinate, what he needs to do is to faithfully execute the monarch's orders, not to make small moves behind the scenes.

Even if Zhang Han had good intentions, it still shouldn't be the case.

After all, the Shadow Guard is different from Quicksand. The structure of the latter is inherently loose. As the leader, Gu Xun is often very casual, so he often does not follow the rules. But the former cannot. As a pure espionage agency, the strict rules are necessary.

Once an unruly breach is made, it's hard to say what it will develop into in the future.

Today's Zhao Gao and the snare under his leadership are regarded by most people - even Ying Zheng - as loyal blades of the empire. Who could have guessed what heinous and treacherous acts he would do in the future? .

Similarly, Zhang Han in historical facts showed no mercy at all when he sold his waning empire.

Mo Ya obviously heard the meaning of Gu Xun's words and nodded seriously, "I understand."

After the explanation, Gu Xun didn't think about it anymore, but this sudden news gave him some motivation to work. While playing chess and fishing, he asked by the way, "I asked you to keep an eye on the north. Did something happen?"

"Uh...no." Mo Ya shook his head.

Gu Xun's question was just nonsense. If something happened, Mo Ya would have told him already.

He plays chess just for fun, while Mo Ya plays chess just to accompany his boss.

"The situation in the north is completely chaotic." Mo Ya further explained.

"Wusun and the Yuezhi have officially entered a state of war. With external pressure, Mr. Chen Ping has further unified the power within the Yuezhi. As long as the war goes smoothly, I believe that the position of the young new king will become more stable."

"At the same time, Mr. Chen Ping also used tricks to involve many large tribes of the Wolf Clan into the Yuezhi Wusun war, making the situation even more chaotic."

"The four major grassland clans, Yuezhi, Wusun, Wolf Clan, and Donghu, are now all involved in war. The Wolf Clan is also caught in a war on the east and west fronts at the same time. The situation seems to be very anxious."

"Sir, in this case, I think it is impossible for the wolf clan to allocate any extra energy to attract the attention of the Central Plains...even though Henan is indeed very important to them."

"Well..." Gu Xun held the chess piece and nodded, "The chance of the North provoking an initiative is indeed very slim."

Actively provoking? This wording seems a bit subtle?
  Mo Ya keenly caught the hidden meaning in Gu Xun's words, and simply asked proactively, "Sir, do you mean that there may still be some passive reasons that cause the wolf clan to be restless?"

"To be precise... it's the empire." Gu Xun smiled and didn't hide anything, "Do you remember the other thing I told you?"

"You mean... the Taifu Ling?" Mo Ya was stunned, and then immediately recalled, "You asked me to pay attention to whether the emperor asked the Tailu Ling to divine the number of days... Is this related to this?"

"You will understand when there are results after a while." Gu Xun Shen Shen replied calmly.

Mo Ya smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, sir, you have become more and more mysterious during this time. You are a bit... uh, like the soothsayers that I have occasionally come into contact with." "Haha... What do you think? How am I doing?" Gu Xun asked with a smile.

"Uh... it's a little awkward." Mo Ya replied hesitantly, "The main reason is that I don't think Mr. is a person who believes in destiny."

"Fate... is indeed an interesting topic." Gu Xun did not express his disdain for the so-called fate. He touched his chin and said teasingly, "I know astrology, and I am very accomplished."

Astrology, according to legend, is a divination method used by the Yin Yang family to glean the destiny of heaven and earth, observing the stars to know the destiny.

Of course, Mo Ya has heard of such a famous strange magic. After hearing Gu Xun's words, he couldn't help but wonder, "Is astrology... really as incredible as the rumors say?"

"Well..." Gu Xun thought for a moment and then replied after considering his words, "If you want to say something magical, it is indeed magical."

The celestial phenomena observed in astrology do not have much logically necessary connection with the real celestial phenomena. They are more like a conjecture and the result of subjective observation.

Then use this observation result to interpret the so-called destiny.

For a martial arts world, this kind of operation is obviously beyond the world view. It is not an exaggeration to call it mysterious and mysterious.

But looking at the results of astrology itself, it's another story.

Gu Xun changed the subject and continued, "But astrology cannot truly observe destiny... If this thing really exists, or even if astrology can observe it, it is meaningless."

Mo Ya looked at his boss blankly, saying that he didn't understand what he meant at all.

I know every word of these, so why do they seem so strange when they are connected together?

Gu Xun smiled and explained patiently, "To explain it simply in one sentence, it is... the stars will change, and this change does not come from the passage of time."

"...This subordinate is stupid." Mo Ya smiled bitterly, feeling that he was even more confused.

Gu Xun waved his hand indifferently, and then asked, "Let me ask you, if the stars are really a medium that can be used to peek into the future, how do you think it will show the future?"

"Uh...just..." Mo Crow frowned, trying to describe his imagination, but failed.

He lacks a direct and clear understanding of astrology, and he knows nothing about peering into destiny. He doesn't even particularly understand Gu Xun's problem.

"You don't have to think about it that complicated." Gu Xun laughed when he saw this, "To put it simply, the future that astrology gleanes should be shown in our eyes piece by piece."

"According to logical thinking, it is obviously impossible to know the distant future hundreds or thousands of years from now through the stars. It is only a part of the future in the near future relative to the present."

When Gu Xun said this, Mo Ya immediately understood. He was indeed thinking too complicated just now.

Gu Xun continued the chess game without stopping, and said, "Therefore, the stars will inevitably change, because the world is developing, and the future is constantly becoming the present, or even the past."

"But now, the stars have changed that have nothing to do with the passage of time."

As he spoke, Gu Xun looked up at the roof, "The starry conditions now are very different from those more than ten years ago. Some of them are caused by the passage of time, but most of them have nothing to do with that."
