Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1385 Relaxation
  "Okay, it's your turn to answer me." Yan Lingji looked at the grimacing Gu Xun with a smile and urged.

Gu Xun curled his lips, and after some hesitation, he decided to reveal a little bit to Yan Lingji, otherwise he would only become more uneasy if this woman kept thinking about him.

"Your guess is correct. Concubine Yan is indeed hiding in the mirage with Qianlong."

"So, did it have a big impact on you when I found out about it? Did you react that big?"

Gu Xun took a deep breath, spread his hands and replied, "Do you know that it has no effect on me? I just mistakenly thought that you might know why Concubine Yan ran to the mirage."

"So... what you are paying attention to is actually the reason why the woman ran to the mirage?" Yan Lingji was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said according to her own thoughts, "Is there any other reason for this? She wanted to find a place to hide. It just so happens that the mirage is very suitable!"

"There are few adults in the space up there, so ordinary people can't get close to it, and almost the entire Yin Yang family has moved in. Even the spies from Quicksand don't dare to go up there casually. Isn't it good to hide from people?"

Gu Xun glanced at Yan Lingji complicatedly, "I have to say that sometimes your mind works really fast, but you often don't get to the key points fast enough."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji immediately became unhappy. She stared at Gu Xun with her big eyes unkindly, and asked with a sweet snort:

"What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me again?"

Gu Xun slowly shook his head and responded, "Your inference is very reasonable. The mirage is indeed a good place to hide, especially for Concubine Yan who was born in the Yin Yang family. She wanted to hide it from the Yin Yang family members on the ship than others. Much easier.”

"But..." Gu Xun changed the topic and asked, "Who is Concubine Yan trying to hide from after spending so much time?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji subconsciously replied, "You!"

Gu Xun smiled and then continued to ask, "Then why did she come to Songhai?"

This era is not like later generations. There are various technological means to lock a person's position. It is not easy for a person, especially a person with the level of strength like Concubine Yan, to avoid someone, even with a person like Qian Taki. The same goes for older kids.

Even for Gu Xun, it is not easy to find someone who deliberately avoids him. After all, he is just a warrior with outstanding fighting ability, not a roaring dog.

But when the scope of looking for people is specifically limited to a certain city, the situation is different.

Basically, it can be said that we will definitely find the person, it is just a matter of time.

So why did Concubine Yan come to Songhai?

She knew that Gu Xun would definitely visit Sanghai in person before Mirage set sail.

"Uh..." Yan Lingji apparently also thought of this, she was stuck for a moment, and after holding it in for a while, she tentatively replied, "Maybe it's for fun? Are you... joking? "

Gu Xun rolled his eyes and complained mercilessly, "She's not you, she's not that fun!"

"Anyway, I just want to find out why she insisted on coming to Songhai and took Qiantaki to hide in the mirage."

To Yan Lingji, Gu Xun only planned to say so much.

It wasn't that I wanted to hide it from her on purpose, but it was really unnecessary.

Yan Lingji made it clear that she didn't know anything, and dragging her into it again would just add to the misfortune.

Yan Lingji and Hong Lian have been adhering to the creed of free life and living as they please in these years.

Gu Xun thinks this is good. As for Canglong Qisu, the empire, the Yin Yang family and other messy things, he can take care of them by himself.

However, Yan Lingji lives as she pleases, not heartlessly. Although Gu Xun did not go on to say anything further, she herself thought of some key issues:

"Are you worried that Concubine Yan has something to do with the Yin Yang family's troubles again?"

Gu Xun shrugged and did not answer her. He just said, "Everything has not been finalized yet."

Yan Lingji frowned and said to herself, "Although I dislike that woman very much, I don't think she would do such a stupid thing, right?"

Gu Xun simply stopped talking, slapped Yan Lingji on the butt and pushed her aside, "It's my business to investigate, so I don't need you to mess around!"

Yan Lingji stood up and stepped aside a little. She pinched her waist and raised her chest in dissatisfaction and replied, "Why is it none of my business!?"

"I don't care about your affair with that woman, Concubine Yan, but isn't there Qiantaki in it!?"

"I am her little wife, I must take care of it!"

Gu Xun grinned and asked, dumbfounded, "Isn't Qiantaki's little girl Guren?"

"Why, this little girl Hongren Nanizi can do it, but I can't?" Yan Lingji retorted with wide eyes.

"This...ha!" Gu Xun laughed and couldn't help but complain, "Is this a problem of not being able to do something well? This is a problem of age!"

"There is still a discussion about who is older between you and Concubine Yan. What kind of girl do you think you are?"

"You!" Yan Lingji glared at Gu Xun angrily, without even bothering to say a word to him, she turned around and walked outside.

The Wushuang Ghost, wrapped in thick gauze and whose arms seemed to have transformed into cannon barrels, followed with a stupefied expression on his face.

Gu Xun looked at Yan Lingji who was so angry at his words that he couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and immediately stood up and left the small courtyard.

………………

Songhai City, Xiaoshengxian Village, shooting range.

This morning, the class at Xiaoshengxian Manor was an archery class, and this time the teacher was the head master Fu Nian.

In the open space, there are a row of fixed circular targets placed at equal intervals. Opposite the targets are Confucian disciples in one-to-one correspondence.

Each person holds a wooden bow and a quiver beside him. He bends the bow and nocks an arrow, aiming at the target.

Fu Nian sat in the back and would give guidance when he saw someone whose posture and strength were wrong.

Shao Yu was also among the disciples, but there was no Tianming.

It should be said that this is a normal situation, as it is not dawn yet - Fu Nian has already been kicked out and forced to stand outside.

As a teacher, Fu Nian is definitely qualified. He will definitely not stop teaching a student just because he has poor grades.

But Tianming...he is not an ordinary bad guy, he is a very special kind that is hard to describe in words...bad!

To put it simply, in addition to the problem that this child cannot remember the correct postures, techniques, strength, etc., no matter how instructed, there is also the possibility of disturbing other students and even accidentally injuring them.

His arrows could hit anywhere but his own target!
  There was no other way. Fu Nian could only give him a direct penalty. He could not teach Tianming alone at the expense of the safety of other students.

At the entrance of the shooting range, Tianming stood alone, facing inside, with a dejected look on his face.

Although most of his classes are forced to stand, Tianming still feels disappointed every time he is forced to stand, especially for relatively few hands-on courses like archery.

At this time, a gentle voice sounded from behind Tianming:
  "Ziming, have you come out for air again?"

When Tianming heard the sound, he turned around and saw that the person speaking was indeed Zhang Liang.

"Third Master, I'm already like this, so please stop making fun of me..." Tianming lamented with a bitter look on his face.

"Haha..." Zhang Liang laughed unscrupulously a few times, and then apologized, "I was rude, Zi Ming, don't take offense."

"Alas..." Tianming sighed, waved his hand and said, "Why should I blame you? You are already the best person to me."

"Oh, what should I say?" Zhang Liang asked, holding back a smile.

"Only if I take your class, I won't be punished and stand alone..." "They are all targeting me!!!"

Tianming cried sadly about his experience.

At this time, Zhang Liang glanced into the shooting range, then smiled and comforted Tianming and said, "Maybe you can be a little happier today."

"Why are you happy?" Tianming was stunned.

"Because someone is coming out to accompany you."

"Eh?"

At the same time, in the shooting range.

Shao Yu stood in front of the guardrail with a gloomy look on his face. The ordinary wooden bow in his hand creaked under his pull. The bow string was obviously too tight, but he still refused to shoot the arrow.

When the classmate next to him saw this, he quickly reminded him in a low voice, "Ziyu, if you pull it any longer, the bow will break!"

Shao Yu turned a deaf ear to this and still used his brute strength to pull the bow.

Fu Nian immediately noticed the abnormal behavior of this former good student and called him:
  "Ziyu!"

Shaoyu didn't reply.

Seeing this, Fu Nian frowned and stood up, walked behind Shao Yu, and shouted again in an accentuated tone, "Zi Yu!"

Shao Yu still didn't reply, but the bow in his hand had been pushed to its limit and might collapse at any time.

Whether the bow arm is broken or the bow string is cracked, it can easily injure the bow holder himself. Naturally, Fu Nian couldn't just sit back and ignore it. He simply stretched out his hand and held down Shao Yu's hand that was pulling the bow, stopping him from continuing. work hard.

Shao Yu, whose movement was blocked, finally reacted and turned to look at Fu Nian.

"Learning archery is to hone your will and stay focused, calm and focused when facing the target."

"But now, you are distracted and restless, and you can't do anything at all."

Looking at Shao Yu who looked depressed, Fu Nian reminded him loudly.

"That's not the case!" Shaoyu denied this angrily.

Fu Nian shook his brows and asked, "Isn't it?"

After saying that, he released the hand that was holding Shao Yu, and at the same time gently tapped the other person's string-pulling fingers.

Before Shao Yu could react, his fingers loosened the bow string, and the arrow he had been holding flew out, and as expected... missed the target.

Although Fu Nian made some interference, it did not change the direction of Shao Yu's aim. In the final analysis, he still failed to aim.

Upon seeing this, Shao Yu simply turned around and stopped looking at the target.

Fu Nian asked, "Ziyu, why are you so upset?"

Ever since he acquiesced to Shao Yu and Tian Ming hiding in Little Saint Xian Manor, Fu Nian had never tried to target these two children. He treated them exactly the same as other Confucian disciples - Tian Ming was special because he was so weird.

Shaoyu is different. He has always been an absolute model student. It cannot be said that he is first in all subjects, but he is basically among the best.

In particular, archery and equestrian skills have always been his best, but today's performance made Fu Nian somewhat curious.

Shaoyu was silent for a moment and did not answer Fu Nian's question. Instead, he asked angrily:
  "Confucianism talks about cultivating oneself, regulating one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world all day long. It's all empty talk!"

"What is the use!?"

Faced with Shaoyu's clamor for stepping on the line like crazy, Fu Nian did not show any anger, but asked calmly, "Do you think those are all useless words?"

"I hide in Zhuangzi all day long, riding horses, archery, and reading. I don't even care about the changes in the outside world. How to govern the country? How to bring peace to the world!?"

"I don't want to waste my time learning these completely useless things!"

Shao Yu shouted emotionally and threw the wooden bow on the ground with an angry look on his face, "I just want to learn the true skills of an enemy with ten thousand enemies!"

For a moment, all the Confucian disciples in the entire shooting range were stunned and did not dare to breathe. The air was filled with an unprecedented solemn atmosphere.

Tian Ming, who was outside, looked excited when he heard this. He couldn't stop nodding his head. He wished he could rush in and scold Fu Nian with Shao Yu - of course, he didn't know anything about cultivating one's body and regulating one's family. He just wanted to scold Fu Nian. pause.

However, Tianming didn't have the guts to challenge Fu Nian's majesty. He only dared to describe his excitement to Zhang Liang on the side, "Ha! This guy finally said what I always wanted to say! It's so comfortable!"

Fu Nian, who has always been old-fashioned and conservative, still didn't get angry, but he didn't try to preach anything. He just asked Shao Yu to go out and stand for punishment.

There may be problems with many Confucian thoughts, but it is obvious that Shao Yu, a young boy, is not capable of questioning them. Fu Nian wanted to refute him, but he only used rhetoric.

But he didn't choose to do this.

Because it makes no sense.

Young people are easily over-emotional in their thoughts, and now he didn't know what caused him to feel restless, as if he was prejudiced.

Fu Nian was like a lotus flower, and no matter what he said made sense, Shao Yu couldn't listen to anything at this time.

It's better to let him calm down alone first.

Besides, Shaoyu's status was special, and Fu Nian was not willing to influence him too much.

Presumably the ovary will take care of it later.

Tianming looked at Shao Yu who was walking out of the shooting range. Although he was still angry at his behavior yesterday and didn't want to talk to him, he decided not to argue with him for the time being because he sprayed Fu Nian.

However, it was impossible not to care about it at all. Tianming smiled as brilliantly as he could in front of Shaoyu, and then said in a sinister manner:
  "Hey, isn't this our best student Ziyu?"

"Why, you came out to stand for punishment today?"

Shaoyu stood silently on the other side, ignoring Tianming's provocation.

Tianming did not give up, deliberately gave up his position, and waved to Shaoyu repeatedly:

"Ziyu, it's rare for you to stand still, come on, come on, I'll give you my place."

"I'm telling you, this is a good place. It's not exposed to the wind, rain, or sun. It's the perfect location that I carefully selected."

Shao Yu glanced at Tian Ming, then decisively stood aside to distance himself from Tian Ming.

Tianming was not happy at first sight. Why, you look down on me, right?
  "Hey! I was kind enough to watch you stand for the first time. As the big brother, I took care of you, but you still don't appreciate it!?"

"Humph!" Tianming snorted coldly, turned his head away, and stopped teasing Shaoyu.

Zhang Liang stood behind and watched the two silly boys competing, and couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

When the smile faded, he coughed lightly, and after attracting their attention, he suggested:

"Cough cough!"

"I see that you two are not in the mood for class today. How about I take you for a walk around the city to relax?"
