Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 329

Li Si knelt down and sat upright under Ying Zheng, frowning slightly as he continued:
  "The Wusui border pass is at least sixty miles away. If the Pingyang heavy armor army moves to Wusui, the main camp should not be far away."

"Right now, I, Da Qin, have no real intention of provoking a war. Logically speaking, the scouts of the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army can explore at most thirty miles away..."

Gu Xun turned his head and glanced at the sun outside through the narrow car window - it was hanging close to due south, and it was just past noon.

"Normally, it's thirty miles, but what if the situation is abnormal? It's possible to explore forty, fifty, or even sixty miles."

Ying Zheng put down his wine glass and did not drink the wine in it. His long and narrow eyebrows were also slightly squeezed closer to the center of his eyebrows:
  "Mr. Han Fei's reminder is not unreasonable. As the strongest infantry force in Great Qin, the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army does not make sense to mobilize Wu Sui, but the commander of this army is Wang Jue..."

"He is a veteran general of our Qin Kingdom for three dynasties. He has great military exploits and is ranked as a tenth-level Zuo Shu Zhang. As a veteran general, he has always looked down on the Prime Minister and has a very tense relationship with him. He has no possibility of obeying the Prime Minister's orders, especially... …”

Especially doing something as treacherous as regicide.

Gu Xun turned the cup in his hand, but did not directly say that Wang Yan simply wanted to avenge Bai Qi, and it was also in the form of revenge across generations.

This is so ridiculous!
  "Right now, isn't Lu Buwei the only one in your court who can mobilize troops?" Gu Xun started to talk nonsense, "He certainly didn't bring this army here just to let you appreciate the style of the strongest infantry."

"And a scheming person like Lu Buwei will definitely not put all his hopes on a group of killers like Zhan Ri. He must have a more reliable backup plan."

Ying Zheng nodded slowly and agreed with Gu Xun's statement.

If it were him, he wouldn't leave such an important matter to some killers hiding in the shadows.

Li Si answered:
  "The chance that General Wang Ye has a problem may not be high, but it may also be other generals in the army, Wang Ye's lieutenants, soldiers, commanders, military princes, captains... If these people have problems, they may also threaten Mr. Shang. safety."

"But in this case, why would Lu Buwei specifically adjust the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army? Wang Yan will still be an uncertain variable." Gu Xun retorted, "It would be better for him to directly mobilize an army of his own trusted men."

"Oh, Doctor Gu only considered the success rate, but ignored Mr. Shang's identity." Li Si reminded him unhurriedly, "If Mr. Shang encounters an accident because of an army or individual closely related to Lu Xiangguo, he will It’s equally hard to escape the blame.”

"The leader of the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army, Wang Yan, happened to be known to both the government and the public to be at odds with him. Only by taking action from people in this army can we separate ourselves."

"Uh..." Gu Xun didn't know how to refute for a moment.

In fact, if he tells the truth that he knows, he can easily convince the other party, but... it's hard to tell.

"Forget it, let's not study this anymore. Just take it one step at a time. Anyway, I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you." Gu Xun waved his hand and simply stopped talking.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"Okay, just follow Mr. Gu's idea."

With the contact over the past few days, Ying Zheng discovered that Gu Xun was far more than a powerful swordsman. He was... very special.

His words, deeds, thoughts and cognitions are all slightly different from others.

The difference may not be big, but it is a fundamental difference. Although he conceals it to a certain extent, he can still feel it.

There is often no reason for what he says. Previously, Mo Ming advised him to send people to study corn and potatoes, saying that high-yielding crops could be cultivated. Today, for some reason, Wang Ye was reminded that there was a problem...

It's very mysterious, but unlike Donghuang Taiyi who is so enigmatic, Ying Zheng is not disgusted with it.

"By the way, Mr. Gu said before that I asked you to save one hundred thousand gold. Now that you have saved me, I will pay the money as soon as possible when I return to Xianyang." Ying Zheng suppressed the thoughts in his heart. He said to Gu Xun with a vague smile.

"Huh?" Gu Xun was about to take a sip of wine, but when he heard this, he raised his head in surprise, "Pay?"

"...Forget it, this is my own initiative. I am not hired by you, and I don't need you to pay." Although Gu Xun wanted the money, he was worried that Ying Zheng would not bury him behind.

"Ha... I don't like breaking rules. Since Mr. Gu has such rules, then of course he should abide by them." Ying Zheng shook his head and did not agree with Gu Xun's statement.

"One hundred thousand gold... is indeed not a small sum, but I don't like to be in debt to others." Having reached this point, Gu Xun couldn't refuse anymore, otherwise it would be too disrespectful.

"In that case...there's no reason why I have to refuse if I can make money."

"Well, please give me some time to raise money, Mr. Gu."

"This is up to you." Gu Xun waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"By the way, I have something I want to sell to Qi State, and I would like to hear your opinion." After talking about the sudden money, Gu Xun changed the subject.

Ying Zheng looked curious, "Doing business? Why do you want my opinion on this kind of thing?"

"Don't worry, listen to what I have to say." Gu Xun motioned for him to continue listening, "What I want to sell is a technology, a technology for refining sea salt. It is more efficient than the current method in Qi State, and the quality of the purified salt is Better technology, too.”

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng's eyes froze.

A better way to refine sea salt?

It's really unexpected. I was talking about farming two days ago, and today I suddenly showed up to make salt...

But if the method is practical and can be sold directly to Qi State, why do you need to ask for my opinion?

Does it mean...

"Since Mr. Gu has no intention of serving as an official in Qin State, why does he need to ask my opinion?"

Gu Xun shook his head, "My purpose was not to take into account Qin's interests, it was just to cause such a performance."

He just doesn't want to affect the unification of the world...

"So, what's your opinion?"

"Haha..." Ying Zheng listened to the other party's vague explanation and did not ask any more questions. He smiled and gave the answer, "Sir, just sell it to Qi State. Of course, the salt profit will skyrocket, but there are some things that cannot be solved by money." fixed."

"Hmm...that's good." Gu Xun nodded, and then asked, "How much do you think it should be sold for?"

By the way, he added his requirements for doing business, "I only want cash and gold coins, and I don't want cloth, silk, food or other materials as collateral."

"Uh..." Ying Zheng was a little distracted. This was the first time someone was chasing him to discuss business matters.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, after all, commerce is a lowly industry and cannot be promoted.

However, he didn't pay much attention to this. After thinking about it for a while, he gave some suggestions:

"Sir, if you only want cash, then I can sell it for about 300,000 gold at most."

　Wu Sui is located in the former Sanchuan County of South Korea. It was indeed the border between Qin and South Korea at that time, but it was lost decades ago. At this time, it was not a border at all.

　　To be more specific, Wu Sui was west of Luoyang, far away from the Korean border.

　　However, we still have to follow the plot of the anime and forcibly insert a military force at the border.

　　By the way, in the Tianjiu plot, among the acres liquidated when Jade Tiger went bankrupt, there was still negative millet property, but at this point in time, negative millet should already belong to Qin...
