Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 48 Leniency for confession
  After hearing Gu Xun's answer, Wei Zhuang picked up his sword and was about to go up and kill him, but was held tightly by Zi Nu.

From Zi Nu's point of view, there is nothing wrong with Gu Xun's explanation. Wei Zhuang is indeed such a personality in his daily life, and as a disciple of Guigu, he does have a lot of popularity. Even in Xinzheng City, there are many People know his origin.

So Zi Nu still plans to trust Gu Xun.

Of course, it’s not simply because of two sentences of explanation, it’s more about the trust accumulated in the past.

Previously, Zi Nu carefully sent people to investigate the eighteenth generation of Gu Xun's ancestors, but unfortunately not even one generation was found. Apart from finding out what day Gu Xun entered the city, nothing else was found.

This is a dangerous signal. A person whose origins cannot be traced at all is very likely to be hidden in unknown dangers. Generally speaking, Zi Nu will stay away from such people, but there is no way. Selling medicine is too profitable. Money.

Earn too much!
  At that time, Zi Nu decided to slightly violate her consistent principles.

Besides, Zi Nu, including Wei Zhuang, don’t have any particularly powerful enemies. They will find ways to deal with them. They are just some competitors in Xinzheng City. It’s not that Zi Nu looks down on them, it’s just the so-called powerful people in Xinzheng. , In fact, the strength is just that, including Ye Mu, Zilanxuan may not be able to defeat it, but the other party will never be able to completely hide a person's origin.

These days, it is rare for unknown and awesome figures to appear. They either come from a famous family or are taught by a famous family. There are actually a few protagonists who rise to the top in the blink of an eye. They grow up step by step and make a name for themselves bit by bit.

Whether it is a martial arts master who wields a sword, or a blacksmith who forges a sword, whether it is a medical master who hangs a pot to save the world, or a poison-making master who harms the people, there are hundreds of schools of thought, all walks of life, etc., etc., it is all like this.

Gu Xun's medical skills are superb, but he is unknown. The most likely reason is that he has a powerful organization that can cover the sky with one hand, such as a behemoth like Luo Sheng.

Zi Nu thinks that her small Zi Lan Xuan is not worthy of others' labor and effort, well... Wei Zhuang does the same.

So she was confused before. Could it be that it was pie in the sky?

Later, as her contact with Gu Xun increased, she discovered that this man of unknown origin was really too appealing to her!

As I said before, Zi Nu hates class divisions, hates the so-called high and low, and even hates men’s discrimination against women. Well... although there is a tendency to want to box, after all, the limitations of the times are here, She did not pursue true equality like later generations, but only partial equality with limitations.

But even so, her ideas are absolutely different, and almost no one understands them, even Wei Zhuang, who is as close to her as a brother and sister. High and low are the common understanding of everyone in this era, including the untouchables at the bottom, and generally the same Accept your own lowliness and the nobility of the nobility from the bottom of your heart, and think that there is nothing wrong with being born this way.

As a result, Gu Xun suddenly appeared with modern thoughts. Zi Nu naturally regarded him as almost a confidant, and she inevitably got close to him psychologically. The subsequent closeness and trust, even partiality and protection, were all based on this.

Okay, without further ado, let’s get back to the topic.

Zi Nu decided to temporarily believe that Gu Xun's concealment was not malicious, so she found someone to take the two unlucky guys from the Iron Blood Alliance down and keep them under strict supervision. Of course, they were only under supervision and could not cause any harm.

And he took Gu Xun and Wei Zhuang back to the house, preparing to have an in-depth and intimate communication to untie the knot between the two parties.

……

"So, you ask!" Gu Xun said helplessly as he looked at the two people sitting across from him, staring at each other with big eyes but saying nothing.

Wei Zhuang still didn't talk to him, he just stared at the other person closely, with half fear and wariness in his eyes, and half eager to fight, ready to draw his sword and kill someone if the conversation broke down.

Zi Nu was also staring at Gu Xun closely, her face full of dissatisfaction. Although she believed Gu Xun for the time being, being deceived was definitely not something to be happy about. After hearing Gu Xun's words, her tone was very unhappy. He asked back: "Shouldn't you take the initiative and explain everything happily?"

"But I don't know what to explain. I don't think there's anything wrong with you."

Zi Nu thought about it, and it was true that Gu Xun's brain circuit was obviously different from hers and others. It was really unrealistic to want him to explain everything clearly, so she softened her tone and said:

"First of all, you should tell me your origins, right?"

Gu Xun touched his chin, lost in thought, and did not answer immediately.

"What, it's not convenient to tell?" Zi Nu asked.

"Ah no, I was thinking about what to say."

"???" Zi Nu snapped angrily, "I'm not asking you to make up lies to deceive me, I want to hear the truth!!!"

"I know, I'm not making up a lie, I'm just trying to think of a more reasonable way to say it." Gu Xun replied, covering his ears.

"Huh???" Zi Nu asked with a question mark on her face, "Don't you still mean to lie?"

"Alas, don't be anxious." Gu Xun comforted Zi Nu and put on a rare serious look on his face, "I'm not trying to lie to you, but the actual situation is more complicated. If I want you to understand, I have to I have edited it a little, but I promise that everything I said is true and factual.”

Gu Xun has no intention of concealing or deceiving. There is no need to tell the truth. However, it must be modified. He cannot say that he is a member of the Republic of China and comes from the 21st century, or that he is a knight in the mountains of Zhangjiajie, Hunan. Come since the fourth century AD!
  "Hmph!" Zi Nu snorted, temporarily suppressing the anger rising in her heart, "Then you say it!"

Gu Xun rethought the statement in his mind, took a deep breath and replied:
  "I am from Qianzhong County."

Fortunately, I had read a book before and learned a little bit about the geographical location.

"Qianzhong County of Qin State?" Zinu murmured and repeated the geographical location.

This place is quite remote. It has basically reached the southern end of the area where people live in the Central Plains. It is almost uninhabited. It is all mountains and forests. There are only a few counties and cities. Further south, there are Yelang, Qielan, or Lingnan and other foreign barbarian lands.

"Yes, that's where I was. I had been living in a mountain forest in central Guizhou with a few friends (not saying they were people), surrounded by vegetation and wild animals. My martial arts and medical skills were all practiced in the mountains and forests. "

Zi Nu nodded secretly. It was normal for people to be unknown in that quiet place. People in charge of intelligence gathering at Zi Lanxuan generally wouldn't pay attention to that kind of place.

However...Zi Nu remembered the martial arts shown by Gu Xun before...Can a place like central Guizhou produce such masters?

She couldn't tell Gu Xun's martial arts method. There was no well-known sect in the world that matched it. The closest one was Taoism. Their Qi was usually golden, but she had never heard of a bell-shaped one.
