Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1367 Old grudges

Luna didn't say anything, but turned her gaze to Gu Xun again, signaling him to ask quickly.

"Do you think the substitute herself knows more?" Gu Xunrao asked meaningfully.

Luna was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized what Gu Xun wanted to do - he wanted to go directly to the imprisoned woman and try to ask for more information!
  His brows furrowed slightly, and after hesitating, Luna reminded him, "I don't recommend you do this."

"That woman can no longer communicate with people normally. She is like a madman. It is almost impossible for you to get any information."

"Even if you can communicate with her normally, and she really knows something, there is a high probability that she will not tell you the truth, and will instead take advantage of you."

"Perhaps she is far inferior to Concubine Yan in terms of talent in onmyoji, but it is not certain in other aspects. She is not an easy person to get along with."

Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and responded with a playful smile, "Really?"

"But it doesn't matter. If she can deceive me, that's her ability."

Obviously, Gu Xun would not give up the few possible breakthroughs just because of the Moon God's simple persuasion.

It just so happened that at this time, the Moon God also brought Gu Xun to her expected destination - Zibei Water Pavilion.

This can be regarded as a small aquarium for people to watch and play, but at the same time, it is also the only entrance and exit to the secret prison.

Luna chose this place as the next stop of Gu Xun's visit. She didn't have any special thoughts, she just subconsciously chose this place.

It just happened that the topic between the two of them ended up talking about this prison.

………………

Songhai City is surrounded by mountains and forests.

Faced with Tian Mingtao's almost attempt to resolve the conflict, Yan Lingji couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh:
  "huh huh huh huh……"

"Little brother, sister, am I good to you?

"I reminded you that your friend may be in danger. The person who was chasing you just now was also attracted by me. You didn't help me. Isn't it a bit heartless?"

"Ha...hehehe..." Tianming gave Yan Lingji a stiff and forced smile, cursing in his heart.

You reminded me that something happened to Shao Yu, but the problem is that if you hadn't come out to fool me and interrupted me, I would have joined him!
  As for the people chasing me and Shaoyu... I didn't expect that they were quietly attracted by you. No wonder most of them disappeared inexplicably.

But they can’t catch up with me and Shao Yu without you!
  And now, the big wild bears under your command are chasing my brother and my brother’s brother!

Of course, Tianming did not dare to say these words.

He could only continue to smile and make peace, "So there is a misunderstanding. Shaoyu and that Hong... and his friends definitely have no ill intentions towards you. Please be nice."

"No malice?" Tianming's words made Yan Lingji laugh again. She raised her right hand slightly, her fingers shook slightly, and a cluster of flames surged in her palm. A cold light appeared in the corner of her eyes, and she sneered, "Maybe there is no malice now, but in the past, that malice But it’s naked and not covered up at all!”

"past?"

Yan Lingji's words left Tianming and Shaoyu Zhanger confused.

past? Does it mean that you had any grudge against Shaoyu/himself in the past?
  This doubt was quickly answered, or Shaoyu's doubts were answered.

Because Long Qie spoke:

"Shaoyu, let your friend stop wasting his breath. That woman is from Baiyue."

"Baiyue people?" Tianming was stunned. What is the term Baiyue? A country?

Never heard of it before!
  Shi Lan knew more than Tian Ming and nodded secretly.

She had heard the word Baiyue before, from the mouths of the great elder and her mother-in-law. It was just an occasional eavesdropping... It wasn't really stealing, it was overheard.

She remembered that it was almost the same concept as Shu, an area outside the Central Plains, but it seemed to be much larger, and it did not fall under the complete rule of the Central Plains as early as Shu.

Shao Yu reacted quickly and turned to look at Long Qie with some surprise, "You mean...the former Kingdom of Baiyue?"

Long Qie's bright red dragon helmet swayed up and down and responded, "Yes, and she was a subordinate of Tianze, the former abandoned prince of Baiyue. She was wanted until..."

Not to mention what was said later, it was actually until the fall of Chu.

Long Qie didn't recognize Yan Lingji. He, who was hiding around, had no time to care about anecdotes. He didn't know much about Yan Lingji, so naturally he couldn't guess her identity.

However, he knew much more about some past information about Chu State than Shao Yu, who was a few years younger than him.

The latter only knew that the Chu-Korean coalition forces destroyed the Baiyue Kingdom and that the Chu Kingdom annexed each other's territory. No matter how much they knew, they didn't understand anything else.

This kind of thing is really not worth mentioning for the Chu State, which has destroyed countless small neighboring countries.

But Long Qie had an in-depth understanding of Tianze, the deposed prince of Baiyue, and also knew about the strange people and strangers under Tianze. After Shaoyu named Yan Lingji’s name, he immediately recalled it and understood why they were so interested in her. He took action.

If they, the nobles of the Chu State, were thinking about how to overthrow the rule of the Qin State, they would have to allow the Baiyue people to cause trouble for them, the people of the Chu State.

Long Qie has nothing to say. If you want to fight, just fight.

Seeing that they all understood everything, Tianming anxiously scratched his head and asked Shao Yu loudly, "What's going on, Shao Yu? Who are the Baiyue people?"

Shao Yu, who had reacted, had nothing to say at this time. Maybe there were many problems with him, but he did not lack the responsibilities he should have.

This grudge cannot be ignored anyway. All we can do is admit it generously and bear the consequences.

"Tianming, Shi Lan, you two should stop interfering."

"This is the grudge between Chu and Baiyue!"

"What the hell!" Tian Ming yelled angrily when he heard this, "You guys are just here to defeat me today, right? Why do you always leave me alone? Are we still brothers!?"

"You know how to show off, have you ever thought that you two can beat that big wild bear!?"

Shi Lan, another person who came here to help, didn't know about the grudges back then, but he could appreciate it. After all, he was considered a person who had suffered the same hardship.

It's just that Yan Lingji, who is not from the Baiyue royal family, mainly harbors not national hatred, but family hatred.

She didn't have much sense of belonging to the Baiyue Kingdom. If she died, she would just die. However, she remembered that the Chu Kingdom continued to trouble her later!
  But Shi Lan is the little princess of Shu Mountain, a pure local ruling class who was subjugated and exterminated by the Qin State... Although there is nothing to rule with the size of Shu Mountain.

Therefore, Shi Lan was different from Tianming who was determined to help Shao Yulong Qie at this time. She was a little hesitant and didn't know how to do it well.

She and Long Qie were still in a hostile state just now. Her ability to change her attitude and come to help was an act of loyalty for the sake of being a friend.

But now the situation seems to have evolved into hatred between the two sides, and it is really difficult to intervene.
