Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1315 Four women in one drama
  On the seaside of Songhai City, above the giant ship mirage.

The warm sunshine in the evening shines through the windows of the mirage room onto the wooden floor. This heat is enough to make people feel lazy.

However, since the mirage is docked vertically on the shore from north to south, only the west half of the ship can enjoy the sunshine at this time.

This is not bad either. The east side is exposed to the sun in the morning and the west side is exposed in the afternoon. The light is sufficient and balanced, which can prevent the room from getting damp. It is better than standing still in the east-west direction.

In a certain room, the sunlight shines on a flat table, with several dishes of various side dishes placed on it. The portions of each are not large, but they are all delicious dishes with full color, fragrance and piping hot. The smoke is getting hot.

The little Chitaki sat obediently at the table, eating the food in small bites.

This is her supper.

Gu Xun sat on the other side, basking in the sun and watching his daughter eat.

He brought this meal over and packaged it from an inn. He kept it warm throughout the whole process, which was extremely considerate.

Concubine Yan was sitting lazily on the bed with a book in her hand. She neither came over to eat nor paid any attention to Gu Xun.

Gu Xun ignored her and focused all his attention on his daughter.

"Chitaki, is the food delicious?"

Gu Xun smiled and talked to his daughter.

Xiao Qiantaki held the rice bowl and nodded gently, without saying anything, but the peripheral vision of his eyes glanced between his parents.

Although he was only young and could not truly understand the relationship between men and women, Qiantaki could still tell that his parents seemed to have had some minor conflicts recently.

She was not bothered by this, because this was not the first time in her memory that the two of them had conflicts.

When two people get along, it's not normal to have some verbal disputes or something like that.

She would also have some small quarrels when playing with her friends.

Anyway, they would reconcile soon, and Chitaki felt there was no need to worry about it.

However, although she didn't care about the conflicts between her parents, Chitaki didn't intend to get involved. She made up her mind to be a little transparent, able to listen or not, look or not, and speak or not.

Gu Xun didn't pay attention to his daughter's cold reaction and continued, "This dish was made by the best cook of the Songhai generation, or even the Qilu generation, Pao Ding."

"I told you before, he is the descendant of the cook Ding who Zhuangzi praised for his miraculous skills."

Chitaki blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently again, but still didn't speak.

Gu Xunquan thought that his daughter was just busy making dinner, and he said with excitement, "Actually, it's best to make this dish fresh and eat it right away. And many hard dishes are not convenient to pack, so they can only be eaten in dine-in. If you like to eat, Why don't you go shopping with daddy in the city tomorrow, and when dinner is ready, I'll take you to his shop to eat ready-made food?"

This was Gu Xun's purpose, to bypass Concubine Yan and take Qianlong directly out of the mirage.

However, this little girl was unwilling to take Qiantaki away directly and said she wanted to follow her mother. Gu Xun had no choice but to think of some roundabout ways.

Qiantaki didn't think much about Gu Xun's food temptation method. He just shook his head and finally spoke:

"My mother told me to stay with her on the boat during this period and not to go anywhere."

When Gu Xun heard this rhetoric again, he suddenly became anxious, "That... that... that bastard, then you can't just listen to your mother, you should also be considerate of your father and me!"

"You only know how to accompany your mother, but you know that your father also needs the company of his lovely little daughter!"

"Besides, what do you mean by staying on the ship all the time!" Gu Xun rolled his eyes and unscrupulously belittled this legendary giant ship that the First Emperor had high hopes for. "This broken ship looks so big. It can't even see a living person after walking around empty for a long time." We can't meet each other - not to mention that you two are still hiding, and you can't show your face if you see someone."

"The only place where you can have some fun is the weird mechanisms designed by the public losers or the Yin and Yang family, but they are quite dangerous and not suitable for a little girl like you."

"But...but..." Qiantaki glanced at his mother and whispered back, "But mother won't let me go with you!"

"Hey! I'm talking about you kid!" Gu Xun touched the back of her head, feeling that her head was about to make her angry.

It is said that a daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket to her father, but this girl is good, she is clearly a black-hearted cotton-padded jacket!

Concubine Yan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. She moved her eyes away from the book in her hand and glanced sideways at Gu Xun. Her tone was full of nobility and coolness:

"She was born after my ten-month pregnancy. Is there anything wrong with listening to my words?"

"Hey..." Gu Xun bared his teeth, touched his chin and smacked his mouth, speechless.

If you want to talk about this topic, then I really have nothing to say!

In the end, Gu Xun nodded helplessly, "Zhiqian, it's good that you two can work together as mother and daughter."

"I have to leave first. Chitaki, just pack your things into the lunch box after you finish eating. I will take them away later."

After finishing speaking, Gu Xun disappeared without waiting for a reaction from the mother and daughter.

Chitaki couldn't help but grinned as she thought about her father who was so angry that he ran away without a trace.

On the bed, Concubine Yan turned her attention back to the book and couldn't help but smile.

Chitaki caught a glimpse of her snickering mother. After a moment of hesitation, she summoned up the courage to ask, "Mom, why doesn't my father want me to stay on the boat with you?"

Concubine Yan heard this and replied softly without changing her face, "I'll tell you later, it's still early."

"Oh……"

………………

After leaving the mirage, Gu Xun raised his head and glanced at the sun that was gradually setting in the west. The sunlight was a bit dazzling, so he unconsciously raised his hand to cover it.

In the blink of an eye, the Mo Crow man appeared behind Gu Xun, lowered his head and bowed:
  "gentlemen."

"Well..." Gu Xun turned to look at him, and then walked slowly along the street where the crowds had gradually reduced to zero, "How is it? What did you gain?"

Mo Ya did not answer in a hurry, but took two steps forward to follow Gu Xun and handed him a brand new bound book:

"This is a summary of all the intelligence collected by my subordinates about Mrs. Yan Fei in the past three months. The follow-up investigation is still in progress, but it should be difficult to gain more, and the time consumed will also increase exponentially."

Gu Xun lowered his head and briefly flipped through the booklet. As expected, it was thin and had no content. Most of it was just nonsense describing daily life.

Without rushing to take a closer look, Gu Xun first asked Mo Ya, "Is there anything worth noting?"

"Uh... As far as my personal opinion is concerned, maybe... just a little bit." Mo Ya responded calmly.

"Oh, tell me."

"In the past three months, except for the period when Mrs. Yanfei completely lost sight of her, in the remaining time period where traces can be traced, the only special behavior of Mrs. Yanfei was about half a month before leaving Xianyang. Yue, met privately with Madam Jing Salamander, Madam Zi Nu, and Madam Pearl."

Jing Salamander, Yan Fei, Zi Nu, Pearl.

These four people can be classified as sisters whether according to the way of dividing modern harem online literature or the way of dividing the relationship between men and women today, even though they have no biological relationship.

But the four of them rarely see each other.

On the other hand, Yan Lingji, Hong Lian, and Nong Yu have no scruples, and it doesn't matter who they meet. Of course, their relationships can still be good or bad.

Jing salamander almost never steps out of the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion. Zi Nu spends most of her time on the cruise ship of Zi Lan Xuan. Ming Zhu is busy researching spices every day to expand her business. Concubine Yan lives alone in the small courtyard. Her daughter is masturbating at home. Just beautiful on its own. All of them maintain a stable state of well water and river water.

Every time they meet, it's either because of a pure accident or because of Gu Xun.

Obviously the latter is the majority, and any meeting caused by this reason will be made public.

But a few months ago, Concubine Yan actually met Zi Nu and the others in private without Gu Xun's knowledge... This is indeed very doubtful.

After Gu Xun thought about it for a while, he asked, "Are you sure it is Concubine Yan who took the initiative to find Zi Nu and the others?"

"Well..." Mo Ya smiled awkwardly, then shook his head, "I'm not sure."

"In fact, this entire piece of information is not very accurate."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Gu Xun was stunned and stopped.

Mo Ya stood aside and explained with a sneer, "You should know that no one dares to ask about the movements of the ladies. You don't know about such private actions, and it is even less possible for others to know."

"This news was actually obtained from Yingge by a subordinate."

"At that time, she unexpectedly discovered that several ladies might have met privately, but she did not dare to take the initiative to explore the secrets of several ladies. In the end, all she knew was a few clues that she accidentally discovered."

"This is not because my subordinates have recently started to spy on Madam Yan Fei's movements. She only told me after she found out."

"She didn't clearly see Concubine Yan and others meeting privately?" Gu Xun confirmed after listening.

"Yes." Mo Ya nodded, "I just speculated based on those clues."

"Among them, she is sure that only Mrs. Yanfei and Mrs. Zinu are involved. As for Mrs. Mingzhu and Mrs. Yanfei, it is purely speculation."

"She is also not sure whether the ladies really met in private, let alone whether they met in pairs or four together."

"But she was able to confirm that something did happen between the ladies in those days, and nothing happened again after that."

"Ah... I probably understand what you... uh, Ying Ge." Gu Xun opened his mouth, his expression very complicated, "So... if the guess is correct, what do these women want to do when they meet in private?"

After hearing this, Mo Ya shrank back silently and said nothing.

This question was definitely not for him.

Gu Xun really didn't expect Mo Ya to give him some guesses. He just said it subconsciously. In fact, he was thinking about the answer by himself.

Could it be that the sisters suddenly felt shaky and cold, wanted to stand up, and wanted to push this stinky man away so that the sisters could live happily together?
  That's not the case... Gu Xun's impression is that Zinu loves boxing, the kind that simply scolds men for being bad. It's not so much boxing as it is bickering and flirting between the couple.

And what for?

From the perspective of cause and effect, it can be said that Concubine Yan's current target is Canglong Qisu, so one of the four people suddenly became interested in Canglong Qisu, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to survive alone, so he persuaded the other three to join him?
  Who is the mastermind? Why are you suddenly attracted to Canglong Qisu, but you still refuse to tell him and want to hide it from him?
  It feels very awkward to use such reverse logic...

But thinking of this, Gu Xun thought of another thing - Jing Salamander also left Xianyang and disappeared. Could it be the same as Concubine Yan?

If so, she should be hiding in Songhai City now... Where will she be hiding?
  Then there are Mingzhu and Zinu. They seem to be silent and are still busy with their own business... Are they unwilling to get involved in this matter, or are they involved without knowing it?
  There are so many things to deal with!

Why did one problem suddenly turn into multiple problems? ? ? ?

Gu Xun felt as if he was infected by Ying Zheng and also suffered from a headache, a splitting headache!
  He unconsciously raised his hand and pressed it between his eyebrows, rubbing it gently, trying to let go of everything and calm the restlessness in his heart.

Seeing this, Mo Ya asked cautiously, "Sir, what's next for me..."

Gu Xun raised his other hand and waved it, "This matter... this matter is over for now. You don't need to worry about it anymore. Just continue with your previous work."

"My subordinate understands."

Gu Xun weakly shook his palms and no longer wanted to speak.

Seeing this, Mo Ya took the initiative to leave.

"Subordinates retire."

………………

It’s night in Songhai City.

The weather has been very good these days, especially at night, when the bright white moon hangs in the sky, which looks particularly pleasant, especially after Fusu ordered to reduce the number of flying mice in the sky.

At the same time, this abundant moonlight also provides excellent light for those night owls who stay up late at night.

Although after Fusu ordered a comprehensive reduction of the night curfew, as long as you are a little careful, night tours will basically not be discovered, but lighting a fire will definitely not work.

The bat wings of the mechanism in the sky were missing, not gone. A flash of fire suddenly appeared in the huge dark city, which was too conspicuous.

Not only if you use it in the city, but if you light a fire in the nearby mountains and forests, you will be discovered immediately.

Without this moonlight, night travelers would have no choice but to walk in the dark.

Of course, an empty city at night is of no value to most people for a leisurely stroll. Only those young people who are energetic and keen on adventure (seeking death) will go out for night walks.

For example, there are two outstanding students from Xiaoshengxian Village.

Tianming and Shaoyu hooked up with each other, sneaking back and forth between the houses in the city.

They are not trying to avoid patrolling soldiers, but not being discovered by their targets.

In front of the two of them, a slender figure walked quietly in the shadows.

After the Qin army's control was reduced, Songhai City at night was basically a deserted place for Shi Lan, and there was no need to hide his traces too deliberately.

But it was precisely because of this carelessness that she was attached to Tianming Shaoyu from a distance without even realizing it.

Another reason is that although Shaoyu has been following her happily in the past few days, he has always been during the day and not at night, so she probably did not expect this.

The two teenagers at the back were trying hard and clumsily to hide their figures while still communicating in lowered voices.

"Say Shaoyu, is it really okay if we stay up all night? We made people miserable last time!"

"What are you afraid of!" Shao Yu tried his best to focus on the beautiful figure in the distance, and replied impatiently in a low voice, "The Qin army's patrols are much lighter now, so it will be okay to be careful!"

"Besides, we were unlucky last time. We happened to be discovered by the Yin Yang family. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have had so much trouble later."

"...I'll believe you for once!" Tianming mumbled twice and reluctantly believed Shao Yu's words.

"What do you think Shi Lan is going to do if he doesn't sleep this late at night?"

"How do I know!" Shao Yu rolled his eyes and replied angrily, "It looks like he is going to the mountain... Anyway, just follow him honestly!"

In order to prevent being discovered by Shi Lan, Shao Yu carefully adjusted the tracking plan this time, trying to keep the distance as far as possible.

Although this greatly reduced the risk of exposure, it also made the tracking process a lot more tense. Shao Yu had to concentrate on not losing him, but Tian Ming kept talking next to him to distract him...
