Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 174 How about changing the boss?

A few days passed, and Xinzheng City was running smoothly. For the people, it was still stable these days. The only change was that there was an extra person to talk about after dinner - the ninth son of the royal family, Han Fei.

This young master who had been away from the country for several years went to Songhai City in Qi State to study and became a disciple of the great Confucian Xunzi. After returning to Xinzheng City, he hung out in Zilanxuan, playing and singing every night, which made the government and the public talk and get angry. Han Wangan almost gave him a lifelong ban package.

In fact, the sons of King An of Han are more ridiculous than the other, especially the prince, who also spends all day in pursuit of fun and entertainment, which is much more excessive than Han Fei. But who allowed Han Fei to bear the halo of being a disciple of Xunzi? People have inexplicable demands on his virtues. It's much higher...

In late February, on the night of the Spring Equinox, two of Han Wangan's brothers, Anping Jun and Longquan Jun, were escorted by 300 forbidden troops and left Xinzheng City with 100,000 gold of border army pay.

About an hour later, Gu Xun quietly left the medical center and ran out of the city.

Zi Nu had previously helped him find out the specific time for the military pay escort. It was quite specific and he knew exactly what day and hour he would depart.

Not long after Anping Jun and Longquan Jun successfully took over the job of escorting military pay from their confused brother Wang, they didn't know what happened to them - probably Ji Wuye negotiated with them to share the stolen military pay - —Come to Zilanxuan for leisure and relaxation. Zinu specially arranged for a few girls with good skills. They easily defeated these two guys and asked for all the information.

In addition, Gu Xun also found out the location of the Broken Soul Valley mentioned in the original plot - fifty miles outside Xinzheng City. With the speed of the military escort team, it would take roughly an hour to arrive.

Gu Xun deliberately set out at a certain point.

Just in time, they arrived at the Broken Soul Valley a little before the escort team.

The name of this valley is scary. It is actually a narrow valley sandwiched between two mountain walls that are no more than a few dozen meters high. However, it is really good for trapping people.

The weather today was very bad. It had been gloomy during the day, with dark clouds overhead, but the rain never came down. At night, the sky was still dark, and the stars and moon were missing.

Immediately, heavy rain came.

The fine spring rain hit the ground, stirring up layers of mist and rising into the sky. The already limited sight of the naked eye in the dark night was once again obscured by the mist, making it almost impossible to see.

Fortunately, Gu Xun's eyes can no longer be regarded as naked eyes. In this environment, his eyes can still clearly see scenes hundreds of meters away.

He easily jumped to the top of the mountain wall that was difficult for ordinary people to reach, and stood proudly on the top of the cliff. He soon saw the shadowy escort team.

As the team gradually walked away, Gu Xun could see that the carriage transporting gold was covered with thick layers of raincloth, but... the paving was quite thick, why were there so many gaps left, and they were reluctant to use wooden boxes to transport gold. Yes, still using sacks?
  It's obvious that something is going on!
  At this moment, Gu Xun felt the aura of another person appear in the valley, directly below him, guarding the entrance of the valley.

What happened next was a matter of course.

Mo Crow controlled the crow, and with the help of the mist of water mist, he forged the so-called ghost soldiers of the Zheng Kingdom with a few pairs of tattered armors, and then used Anping Jun and Longquan Jun, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin. After deliberately shouting and drinking, several hundred forbidden troops suddenly became in chaos and their minds were shaken.

Then they discovered that the gold on the carriage was gradually deflating. They pulled away the raincloth and opened the bag to see that the gold was evaporating. And as the gold was directly exposed to the rain, it evaporated faster. Within a few seconds, the gold was evaporating. In just one breath, almost all of it dissipated.

Now everyone was completely frightened.

As someone deliberately shouted the word "Ghost Soldiers Robbery", everyone began to shout the word, and then they all scattered and fled the Soul-Broken Valley.

After all the soldiers escaped, Mo Crow removed the pretentious crow, put his hands on his chest, and floated to the location where the carriage had previously parked, intending to check to ensure that no flaws were left.

And just when Mo Ya lowered his head to observe the muddy mess on the ground, a white jade-like palm quietly touched his shoulder.

"What a coincidence, Mo Crow."

Gu Xun's voice suddenly rang through the rain curtain in the unsuspecting Mo Ya's ears, shocking the other party's mind.

Mo Ya took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, flashing to a few feet away. "Who!" A low shout came out of Mo Ya's mouth, while his eyes were fixed on his original position.

"Why, I haven't seen you for a while, don't you recognize Gu?" Gu Xun looked at the panicked Mo Ya with a leisurely look.

After Mo Ya saw clearly that the person coming was Gu Xun, his heart immediately sank to the bottom of his body.

When night meets Gu Xun, there is never a good outcome.

It couldn't be a coincidence that the other party appeared in Broken Soul Valley in the middle of the night. It was obviously for him, or for Ye Mu's plan.

But...the weak have no right to choose, and Mo Crow knows this very well.

To Gu Xun, he is an out-and-out weakling.

"Mr. Gu, it is indeed a coincidence that we meet here again. Mo Ya is very honored." Mo Ya bowed respectfully and kept his posture very low.

"Honored? I think you're quite scared." Gu Xun teased him with a smile, and then without waiting for Mo Ya to speak, he said directly: "I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I'm still waiting in the middle of the night. We’re going home, let’s get straight to the point.”

"I want you to tell me where the 100,000 military pay that Ji Wuye secretly swallowed is hidden now?"

Mo Ya's heart sank completely. Sure enough, he was here for money again.

Now he was between a rock and a hard place.

Not to mention, his master can explain it, but it is probably impossible for him to see him alive. Gu Xun beat himself to death in minutes, and the probability of escaping is almost zero.

And if so, Gu Xun would probably let him go, but Ji Wuye would definitely not be able to spare him, and he would still die.

Mo Ya didn't want to die, he didn't want to leave the innocent and ignorant child to face the world alone.

So...he has to save himself.

"Mr. Gu..."

Gu Xun raised his hand to stop Mo Ya's next words, "Don't worry, you tell me where the gold is hidden, and I won't tell anyone who told me."

"You can pretend that you haven't seen me, and I haven't seen you either. You don't need to explain to Ji Wuye. After all, what does the loss of money have to do with you?"

Gu Xun's expression was sincere, and Mo Ya felt that he didn't seem to be lying, and besides, he had no need to lie to himself.

But this is an act of betrayal of Ye Mu. If Ji Wuye notices something is wrong, he will definitely die.

Years of loyalty to Ye Mu have given Mo Ya a deep-seated fear of him, and he does not dare to betray him.

Gu Xun's voice sounded again at the right time, with a hint of confusion, "Maybe you think Ye Mu is very powerful and unmatched, but... after all, it is just a force huddled in South Korea. It cannot be said to be weak, but looking at it, The Seven Kingdoms really don’t get much attention.”

“A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, so why hang itself on a tree?”
