Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 420 Incident in Handan
  Excluding the sporadic wolf tribesmen with unique clothes and the most common ordinary people, the most common people on the streets of Handan are the Jianghu people carrying knives and swords.

This kind of situation is not common in Xinzheng or Xianyang, because people in the rivers and lakes are unwilling to run to those two places. The former is a desert of rivers and lakes, and the latter is a desperate situation of rivers and lakes.

The Jianghu people in Xinzheng don’t want to be seen, and the Jianghu people in Xianyang don’t want to see the Jianghu people. Anyway, I won’t go if I can.

The land of Yanzhao is just the opposite. The other countries call it "many brave men with generous and tragic songs". In fact, the translation means that the people of Yanzhao are too bloody, easy to get angry, and do irrational things when their brains are hot. , fighting and fighting are commonplace, and compared to other countries, it is easier for organizations of all sizes to form groups to keep warm.

The word "jianghu" is particularly clear here. There is no shortage of chivalrous people, evildoers, and ambitious people.

The most powerful Jianghu force entrenched in the land of Yanzhao is the Mohist school, one of the two most prominent schools in the world.

The Mohist knights spread throughout Yan and Zhao, performing chivalrous acts of justice, helping those in danger and those in need, and gained a huge reputation.

Of course, this is just a glorified statement. The size of the Mohist disciples is second only to the farmers. With a large number of people, they will inevitably be too big to lose, and the dragons and snakes will be mixed together.

Are there any good people? Of course there are, and quite a few.

Are there any bad guys? Of course there are, certainly quite a few.

It is impossible to change human nature with two slogans: "Don't attack, love all your life."

Moreover, the Rangers do things out of bounds and based entirely on their will. In theory, all they do are good deeds that conform to universal moral values, but that's just in theory.

If punching can perfectly solve all problems, why would Gu Xun always laugh at himself as a martial artist? It is inevitable to act in one-sided and extreme ways while possessing murderous intentions.

So... no one in the world is innocent. Jin Yong wrote fifteen novels, but only Hong Qigong can be said to be worthy of admiration.

Walking along Fangshi Street, Gu Xun followed his usual rules and first looked for a place to eat. He checked out the busiest restaurant on the street, went in and sat down, ordered food and drinks, and then waited.

It wasn't a serious meal at this time, it was still some time before noon, but there were already many people from all walks of life in the restaurant, with all kinds of weapons around them.

This group of people who enjoy grudges and cannot tell right from wrong are generally not short of money, at least not for food. They also like to get together in small groups and talk loudly. Restaurants are the most suitable place to go.

Most of the news Gu Xun heard after sitting down was related to one person.

The Northland Military God—Li Mu.

King Zhao died, and the crown prince ascended the throne. He summoned Li Mu, who was stationed in Dai, to return to the capital to report on his duties. He also brought back Gongzi Jia, who had fled to Dai, which caused a lot of discussion in the world.

Li Mu, through King Zhao Xiaocheng, King Zhao Daoxiang (Zhao Yan), and now Zhao Wangqian, none of the three generations of kings liked him.

This man is living a decent enough life.

King Xiaocheng made him so angry that he left him alone in the north. King Youxiang made him so angry that he left him alone in the north. King Qian of Zhao had just come to power, and even strictly speaking, the three-year period of filial piety had not yet expired. , he didn't even sit firmly on the throne, so he was angry.

Because Li Mu did not follow his orders, he secretly killed Gongzi Jia.

However, Li Mu had his own insistence. Although it was inappropriate for Young Master Jiashan to leave the royal capital, it was impossible to kill him directly.

But his operation is indeed... leaving people speechless. Either you release the person secretly, or you do it quietly, at least to cater to one party. As a result, he offended both Zhao Wangqian and Gongzi Jia. The two ends are not good.

Head iron! People on the rivers and lakes are also worried. They know that Li Mu has offended the new king and may not be able to survive after returning to the capital.

Li Mu has guarded Northern Xinjiang for many years, resisting the wolves in the North. He has a high popularity and an excellent reputation in the martial arts world. He has recruited many martial arts masters under his command who are determined to fight against the foreign tribes in the north. In terms of strength alone, he is better than the ordinary first-class Jianghu sects. If he is not weak, he is loyal to the State of Zhao and has an inactive mind.

If Zhao Wangqian really attacks him, he may not be able to resist, but these people from the Northland are unlikely to agree, and they will cause a scene if they say anything.

After all... what a generous and tragic man.

Gu Xun was thinking about these scattered pieces of news while eating.

It is certain that when Li Mu returns to the capital, there will definitely be a stir. Many people will dislike him because he is not like the light.

With the courtiers targeting him, he felt even more sad when Zhao Wang moved there.

In fact, his stubbornness and unruliness are secondary. He is inconspicuous and out of sight. The key is that his popularity is too high, especially in the three counties of the North. He is the real unparalleled military god, the Dinghai Shenzhen, so a temple needs to be built to worship him.

The king can tolerate his bad temper, but it is difficult to tolerate his excessive prestige. This is a way to die.

But for Gu Xun, it is good to have wind and waves. He does not go out to conduct medical consultations all over the world, but to have fun.

How can we have fun in a pool of stagnant water?
  As for what will happen to Li Mu... Anyway, nothing will happen for a while. Zhao Wangqian has just ascended the throne, how could he be cruel to this northern general?

Moreover, according to the plot of Qin Shi, Mr. Li lived longer than Zhao Wangqian.

After eating and drinking, Gu Xun left the restaurant and ordered a takeaway for Yan Lingji and asked the restaurant's waiter to deliver it to the inn where he was staying.

After that, he began to look for a place with more books.

The first choice was naturally the royal palace located in Zhaowang City. Gu Xun didn't think much about it. He was not familiar with Handan City. The most conspicuous and outstanding one was Zhaowang City standing in the south of Dabeicheng.

Anyway, he didn't pay attention to any worship masters who might exist in the palace, just as if they were in his own backyard.

After not walking for too long, he was about to leave the city from the south and when he was approaching King Zhao City, he was stopped by someone.

During this time, he was always surrounded by informants from various forces, and he was used to it, and he was too lazy to distinguish which forces they belonged to.

From the moment he agreed to be the national advisor of the Qin State, he was destined to attract a lot of attention when he traveled across the six kingdoms. This was what he hoped for, otherwise there would be no need to take this vacant title.

The people who stopped him were one of the spies who were following him, and they should belong to a certain force in Handan City, because these two people only targeted him shortly after he entered the city.

"Mr. Gu, please stay." The two looked nervous, looking at Gu Xun with a hint of dodge and evasion, and their voices were trembling.

This kind of performance either means that the two of them have something secret in their hearts, have no intention of doing good things, and have extremely poor mental qualities, so it is all written on their faces, or they know something about Gu Xun, have heard some rumors, and feel a little unconscious in their hearts. Worry and anxiety, fear of being in trouble if not careful.

Gu Xun felt that it was the latter. Someone who could be a spy would not be so virtuous as to make a conspiracy. Besides, who would dare to attack him rashly now?

I just have some misunderstandings about myself, it doesn’t matter, haha!
