Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1366 Tracking
  This is an interesting and critical question.

Why did Donghuang Taiyi send that substitute to the mirage?
  Moreover, Gu Xun guessed that there was a high probability that he personally escorted him here, although Liusha had not received any relevant information.

You know, Donghuang Taiyi rarely leaves the Xianyang area. After all, there is Gu Xun secretly spying on him with evil eyes at any time.

Although due to Ying Zheng's relationship, Gu Xun cannot attack him directly, but if conditions permit, Gu Xun can still kill people with a borrowed knife - Gu Xun is not the only one in the world who is dissatisfied with Donghuang Taiyi.

Donghuang Taiyi knew this very well, so since Gu Xun joined the empire and showed his hostility to the Yin Yang family, he has been deeply involved in Jian Chu, trying to survive while also creating an image of a master.

Although Gu Xun didn't know what this substitute had done, so that he was imprisoned like Concubine Yan in the original plot - was he betrayed for the sake of her husband and children?
  Regardless of the reason, in short, simply to punish a sinner imprisoned by the Yin Yang family, there is obviously no need to go through such trouble, and even open up such a hidden space in the mirage alone.

Of course, the answer to this question cannot directly solve Gu Xun's doubts. After all, what he actually wants to know is why Concubine Yan is suddenly interested in Canglong Qisu again, not how Donghuang Taiyi handles a substitute.

But for the answer he needed, no one could provide the exact answer except Concubine Yan herself. He could only speculate through other information.

Unfortunately, Yueshen didn't know anything about Gu Xun's question. She simply shook her head:
  "I do not know."

"That woman was secretly escorted to the mirage by Master Donghuang himself. I even learned that she had been moved to the mirage before leaving Xianyang. Apart from that, Master Donghuang never told me anything unnecessary. information."

"Well..." Gu Xunqing sighed softly.

Luna's answer was within his expectation.

There is never any truth in Donghuang Taiyi's mouth, or he will never tell all the truth.

No matter who he is, he is a tool to him, and tools do not need to know things beyond their own responsibilities.

As long as this substitute does have some important effect on Donghuang Taiyi, it is impossible for the Moon God to know too much.

But then again, after all, this substitute is also a member of the Yin Yang family, and was used to replace Concubine Yan back then. Even if Moon God doesn't know Donghuang Taiyi's plan, he should at least know something about this person, right?
  "You should know a lot about that woman, right? Tell me about it?"

Yueshen led Gu Xun for a while in silence, probably thinking about what to say.

After a moment, the Moon God answered:

"I don't know much about that woman."

"As an alternative, she did not inherit the title of 'Dongjun' back then, but she made an exception and learned Soul Xi Longyou, but her talent was far inferior to that of Concubine Yan."

"This yin and yang technique has a remarkable feature. Different people practice different Longyou Qi, and that woman's Longyou Qi is very similar to that of Concubine Yan - perhaps this is one of the reasons why she can be used as Concubine Yan's replacement. , or an external manifestation.”

"As an alternative that should not have been used, that woman's character was very extreme, very egotistical, and very ambitious. She wanted to truly replace Concubine Yan. This made her seem loyal enough to the Yin Yang family back then."

"Later, she achieved her goal as scheduled and got together with Prince Yan Dan. Then she had the child. Finally...she began to try to break away from the control of the Eastern Emperor."

It was indeed a betrayal...

Gu Xun nodded clearly and asked smoothly, "Because of my husband and children?"

But Luna shook her head, "To be precise, it's only the latter. She has never been sentimental towards Prince Yan Dan, and even tried to kill him, making her daughter the only one who can carry out Donghuang's plan. This is how to increase your own leverage." After saying this, Luna was silent for a moment, and then added, "...I even suspected that maybe it had nothing to do with her daughter. Her betrayal was just for herself, but It’s just a guess.”

"Her yin and yang skills have also reached the fourth level of astrological law. It is difficult for yin and yang mind reading and yin and yang puppet skills to have an effect on her."

Gu Xun nodded unconsciously while listening, thinking about whether there was any useful information in these contents.

Seeing him deep in thought, the Moon God did not disturb him and silently led the way.

After the two of them walked for a while, Gu Xun came back to his senses and asked thoughtfully, "Hunxi Longyou... according to the regulations, only the masters of the three sects of Sun, Moon and Star can practice, right?"

"That's right." Moon God nodded, "Hunxi Longyou's power is very domineering, and it is difficult to practice in a tricky way. It has high requirements on talent. Historically, only the three sect masters of Sun, Moon and Star can practice, and the five elders ……no."

At the end, she didn't forget to add, "Star Soul is actually a special case."

Gu Xun pretended not to have heard the last words about dissing Xinghun. He was an ethical person and generally would not speak ill of children behind their backs - if we meet again later, we can talk to him in person.

"So why make an exception and let that substitute practice Hun Xi Longyou? Just because she is talented enough?"

"Also, when did she start practicing Hunxi Longyou? Before Concubine Yan's rebellion, or after?"

"...after that, before that she only practiced the regular Fire Department Onmyojitsu." Yueshen answered Gu Xun's last question, but had nothing to say about the former one.

But this was enough, at least Gu Xun was basically certain that no matter what Donghuang Taiyi needed that woman to do, it had something to do with Hunxi Longyou.

"Well...is there anything else you can say?"

Luna shook her head, "That's all I know about her."

"Sigh... that's okay, at least it's not all without gain." Gu Xun smacked his lips, sighing with regret and contentment, and then said to the Moon God, "Thank you very much for your willingness to cooperate with me. I will remember the favor.”

Regarding Gu Xun's thanks, Yue Shen snorted coldly and was unwilling to accept it, "I'm just doing it for myself, and I can't bear the favor of the National Master."

This statement... is not a harsh statement if you look into it carefully.

The mirage is about to set sail, and the dream that Luna has been chasing for many years is about to come true. She doesn't want any mistakes or accidents to happen now - Concubine Yan and the replacement are both unpredictable and unknown risks to her.

If Gu Xun could help her solve it, she would be happy for it.

However, people's hearts are complicated. It may be true that they do it for profit, but it may not be just because of profit.

Fortunately, Gu Xun was not interested in delving into the thoughts of this always awkward sister-in-law, and smiled at her response.

"That's right. Anyway, I'll help you write down the favor."

"By the way... I have one last question for you."
