Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 608 What is a toad on the instep?
  Before Zhang Han could finish saying the words "Don't inquire," he was interrupted by Gu Xun.

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you." Gu Xun waved his hand, looking very generous.

Zhang Han tried to struggle, "No, I will..."

"Actually, it's not a big deal, but it's normal for you to be curious." Gu Xunquan said to himself as if he didn't hear what he said.

"..." Zhang Han chose to give up, his eyes collapsed as if he was resigned to his fate, and he listened with peace of mind.

Seeing this, Gu Xun smiled with satisfaction and continued, "We just talked about some things about using power for personal gain, and asked him to help me avenge my personal revenge. By the way, we also talked about Mr. Fusu's future."

"You must also know that Xiong Qi and I have a special relationship with Mr. Fusu. His future is very important to us."

"Haha... Your Excellency really loves to joke..." Zhang Han's face became even more depressed, as if he was mourning his concubine. He knew that Gu Xun would not say good things, but he did not expect that he would say such... exciting things.

This kind of thing is not what a newbie like him should hear!
  Zhang Han had no choice but to smile bitterly and pretend to be dumbfounded, trying to muddle through.

Gu Xun turned towards Zhang Han, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Don't look like your father is dead and your mother has remarried. No matter how serious the problem is, it's all about me and Xiong Qikan. What does it have to do with you?" Woolen cloth?"

It doesn't matter, just don't tell me!
  Gu Xun ignored Zhang Han's psychological activities and continued, "You are only nominally affiliated with..."

Speaking of this, Gu Xun got stuck and asked, "By the way, where is your official position now? Is it in the name of a guard?"

If Zhang Han wants to act in an official capacity, he must have a serious official position. His military position is useless. Although Ying Zheng established the Shadow Secret Guard, he did not set up another official position to lead the Shadow Secret Guard—— It's existence is meant to be secretive, so what does it look like when put on the bright side?

Just like the Luowang now belongs to Zhao Gao, but the Qin State has never had an official position related to the Luowang. Zhao Gao's official identity is the order of the CRRC.

"..." Zhang Han no longer felt anything about such a trivial matter that his boss didn't even understand his official position. He simply replied, "Sir, the last general now nominally belongs to... uh, under the name of the Shaofu."

"Young Master?" Gu Xun frowned in confusion, "Why should you be included in the group of people in charge of money?"

Zhang Han explained, "Because there are many people in the Shaofu."

The Shaofu Ling is responsible for managing the royal family's private property, and all income and expenses must be completed through the Shaofu. Of course, the scope of this private property is relatively large, so... naturally, the number of people under the Shaofu Ling's command is exceptionally large.

"...Well, having more people does help you hide yourself." Gu Xun asked in confusion, "But you wear a military uniform every day, which doesn't match the people of the Shaofu."

"...General generals are generally not seen by others." Zhang Han hesitated and told the truth.

That is to say, meeting Gu Xun, a superior official, otherwise he would rarely show up in front of others, and naturally he would not be exposed.

Even if the work is reported to Ying Zheng, it is usually done in private, and the total number of people present is not more than three.

"Okay, okay." Gu Xun muttered and waved his hand, "These are not important, let's get back to the topic."

"You are just a small official of the Young Mansion in name. If you have anything to worry about, just report whatever you hear."

"...Yes." Zhang Han bowed and responded.

He is now very sure that Gu Xun is definitely dragging Lord Changping to die together. Of course, since he dares to do this, he is probably sure that only Lord Changping will be unlucky, or... at least Lord Changping's losses will be greater than his. Even Zhang Han is not sure whether what Gu Xun said is true or false. Maybe he just made up a set of rhetoric that could easily offend the king, and then used him, the actual leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, as a messenger.

Zhang Han didn't know how the king would react after hearing the contents of his report, but one thing was certain - this matter was like mud sticking to the crotch, and anything he said would affect Lord Changping's impression on the king. , it’s just a question of how much.

He was now very curious, why did he, a Shangguan, target Lord Changping at the expense of himself? There seemed to be no rumors of any disagreement between the two. Even before today's meeting, the two had never met officially.

Is this a power struggle?

Zhang Han couldn't help but think that this struggle was really a bit dirty...

Fortunately, as Gu Xun said, this is not something that Xiao Mengxin, who is in the name of a young master and does not even have a salary of two hundred dan a year, should worry about. It is his duty to report everything to the king truthfully. .

I hope it won't be affected by the aftermath of the big boss fight... Zhang Han can only hope so.

………………

After Zhang Han left, Mo Crow and Bai Feng did not follow him, but stayed. They took Zhang Han's place and came closer to Gu Xun.

"How are you doing? Have you done anything serious in the past two days?" Gu Xun found a nearby stone chair and sat down. He looked at his two oldest subordinates, the only three so far... four if you include Xuan Jian. One...the second of his subordinates.

Previously, Ying Zheng temporarily handed over the position of commander of the Shadow Guards (a false position, referring to the manager of the Shadow Guards, not an actual official position) to him. After Zhang Han complained to him that he did not have enough manpower, he directly handed over Mo. Yao Baifeng sent over.

Although Zhang Han usually hides deeply, if they can't find the person even though they know the name and some of the identity information, there is no need to send him there to embarrass him.

Bai Feng was still the cool and aloof young man, reticent, but it was Mo Ya who came forward and replied:

"Sir, Bai Feng and I have mainly been helping General Zhang Han deliver messages between Xianyang and King Qi's location these past two days. As for the rest... he probably has no intention of leaving it to us for the time being."

After Gu Xun was promoted to Imperial Master, Mo Ya would change his title to Gu Xun to "Sir" or "National Master" in front of outsiders, but in private he would usually still call him "Mr."

Gu Xun leaned back now, crossed his left leg over his right leg, squinted his eyes and muttered, "That's it...it seems like he's still a little hesitant."

Mo Crow spoke up at the right time and asked, "Sir, how should we deal with this Shadow Guard incident?"

Gu Xun did not answer, but asked instead, "Why do you think King Qin handed over such a secret army to me?"

"This..." Mo Ya tried to guess, "Do I want to use your hand to check Luo Wang? Although Luo Wang has been rectified, after all, he has a criminal record and will definitely be guarded against."

Mo Ya knew a lot of things, but not enough. At least he didn't know the real core relationship between Ying Zheng, Gu Xun, and the Yin Yang family. At the moment, he could only guess on Luo Wang.

"Checks and balances the snare... The existence of the Shadow Guard obviously has this effect, but..." Gu Xun shook his head, "I don't need to come here."

"Then... please forgive me for being stupid." Seeing that Gu Xun denied his statement, Mo Ya could only reply with a wry smile.
