Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 280 The five beetles of the state
  It's a pity that no one was interested in his one-man show. Gai Nie didn't even move his eyes and just watched him quietly.

Gu Xun didn't even bother to look, so he just closed his eyes and rested.

And Wei Zhuang... gave him a huge roll of his eyes.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Han Fei didn't feel embarrassed. He adjusted his robes by himself, his expression became serious, then he turned around, paced back and forth, and said:
  "The five beetles are scholars, talkers, sword bearers, warriors, merchants and workers. These five are the beetles of a country. If they are not eliminated, it is not surprising that the country will be destroyed."

"However, if all five of these people really disappear, it will be difficult for the country to maintain stability."

"Is there any one way of saying it in the world? Even you politicians are divided into verticals and horizontals, right?"

"Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, but are there only Confucians in the world who disrupt the law? Chivalrous people use force to violate the prohibition, so are there no heroes in the world who do not violate the prohibition?"

"Rotten Confucians, Wang Confucians, fierce knights, and righteous knights are nothing more than that. Brother Gai Nie, you are an excellent swordsman. You should understand...the sword has two edges. It can do evil and save people's lives."

Gai Nie finally had some reaction and slowly said:
  "So...the severe punishment advocated by the Ninth Young Master can also be a sharp sword to govern the country and save the people?"

This sentence revealed why Gai Nie was in tit-for-tat with Han Fei. He obviously didn't particularly like the emphasis on law that Han Fei advocated.

Han Fei responded with a smile, "In troubled times, heavy codes are used to punish evil and promote good. Ultimately, it depends on the person who uses it, just like a sword is a murderous weapon."

Gu Xun suddenly interrupted:

"Not to be arrogant, but I personally think that everyone in the world - including those who use swords, of course, are lawless elements."

Han Fei was a little helpless at Gu Xun's intrusion, "Brother Gu, didn't you bring yourself in with your words?"

"What you are saying, I never said that I am a good person. I have never done anything like burning, killing, looting, etc.?"

Wei Zhuang and the others had nothing to say about Gu Xun's self-destruction. They could only say... Frankness can be considered a good virtue.

At this time, a bird flew into the yard.

There is nothing unusual about birds, and there is more than one bird in the yard, but this one is special. It flew straight towards Gu Xun and was caught by him.

"Where did this little bird come from?" Gu Xun didn't know what was going on. He took a casual look and found a cylinder tied to the bird's leg.

He was familiar with this. Flying pigeons were used to communicate with each other. They were one of the main communication methods of the Seven Heroes in the past... This one was not a pigeon, but a flying bird.

Gu Xun skillfully took down the letter and opened it to take a look.

Han Fei and others were watching this scene. They also knew that someone had sent a letter to Gu Xun, and they were all curious about what was going on. Among them, Gai Nie was the most nervous. After all, the letter seemed to be inexplicable from Gu Xun's appearance.

There wasn't much content on it, just two sentences. After reading it at a glance, Gu Xun casually clicked on the small note, raised his head and said:

"Hurry up and see the real master. Ji Wuye's imperial guards are all dispatched. Xinzheng City will be completely closed. It seems that others are about to find out."

When Gai Nie heard this, his eyes narrowed, and then he said to Han Fei:
  "It's in the backyard. Ninth Young Master, please go there yourself."

Han Fei stopped talking and went straight to the back. Only Gu Xun and the other three were left in the front yard.

Wei Zhuang stepped forward and asked, "Is there news about Mo Crow's arrival?"

"Yeah." Gu Xun nodded.

The news was naturally given by Mo Ya, but the method was relatively novel. He asked Bai Feng to send a bird to deliver the message, which had never happened before.

Probably this was to give Bai Feng a rough idea of ​​the fact that he had found a new master. By the way, he could also review his most beloved younger brother's achievements in Gu Xun and prepare for him to take someone else to another job later.

"Ji Wuye and Luo Wang have reached a cooperation and will assist them in killing Mr. Shang."

Wei Zhuang's face darkened and he sarcastically said, "You brainless idiot." Genie didn't like to curse, so he just analyzed the situation with a frown and said:

"Ye Mu is a local snake in Xinzheng. With his support, it will be difficult for Mr. Shang to hide. By then..."

The thought of five Tianzi first-class people... even if one of them had been instigated to rebel, gave him a headache.

Gu Xun said:
  "Don't worry about this. Ever since I cured Xuan Jian's madness, Luo Wang's operation has failed. Even if the other four Tianzi found an opportunity, they would not dare to kill Mr. Shang."

"You can still rely on the night." Wei Zhuang reminded him coldly.

Ying Zheng's martial arts skills are sparse, so he can just send any killer who is similar. As long as the people in the net entangle their side, they can still let Ye Mo come forward and kill people.

"So Ji Wuye is in the wrong mind? He dares to kill anyone?" Gu Xun felt completely baffled.

If you dare to kill the King of Qin, isn't that a sure death? Not to mention the Qin State itself, even Lu Buwei had to do it to silence you!

Wei Zhuang gave a reliable guess, "Maybe, he doesn't know the target's identity at all."

"..." Gu Xun felt that Wei Zhuang's guess was probably right, but this made Ji Wuye even more stupid. He dared to kill people without knowing anything, and was it a good thing to be a trap? Can you kill a small character?

"Then... why don't you go and tell him? Now that I know it, he will be honest."

After hearing Gu Xun's suggestion, Gai Nie immediately objected, "No, Mr. Shang's identity must be kept strictly confidential."

If the story of Ying Zheng's escape becomes known to the whole world, Lu Buwei and Queen Mother Zhao will have another reason to continue to control the government after they return.

"There are quite a lot of things..." Gu Xun curled his lips, "Then you just wait to confront them head-on. Anyway, your chances of winning are not low now."

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie looked suspicious at the same time. How can we tell that our chances of winning are not low?
  In the current situation, there is no combat power at the bottom level, and there is not enough combat power at the top level...

Gu Xunyi shrugged and explained to the two of them:

"Xuanjian and Zhanri have a grudge. He will definitely fight with each other. Then there are only four Tianzi first-class left. Although you two can't beat any of the Tianzi first-class, at least you can. After pestering them for a while, the remaining two will be handed over to Fei Yan and the Yin Yang family."

"People from the Yin Yang family? Will they interfere?" Wei Zhuang asked sideways.

Not only asked Gu Xun, but also asked Gai Nie. After all, the headquarters of the Yin Yang family is now in Xianyang, so he should know.

"Yin Yang family? Do they have experts here?" Gai Nie did not answer, but asked a question first.

"Yes, there are two elders from the water department and one elder from the earth department."

"How come there are two elders in the Water Department?" Gai Nie asked.

It can be seen from this that Gai Nie does not understand the Yin Yang family either.

"Two twins, they count as one person." Gu Xun answered casually, and also explained the situation of the other party, "By the way, although there are three people, two of them were injured by me, so they are probably not useful for the time being. , can only be regarded as a combat force."

Even though Gai Nie's usually stern face couldn't help but have a few question marks appearing at this time.

???

You injured two people, can you still ask them for help now?

　I wanted to skip the dialogue between Han Fei, Gai Nie and Ying Zheng, but finally decided to write a little bit about it. The part about swords was not included. I felt that the part where Han Fei and Gai Nie were talking was very abrupt and inappropriate.

　　I completely skipped the conversation with Ying Zheng. I just chatted for a while and felt that it was basically useless.
