Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 645 Reaction afterwards
  Chen He seemed not to notice his king's indifferent expression, frowning and wondering, "But how could the Yin Yang family get from the king..."

After saying a few words, he seemed to have thought of the key point, his brows tightened, and he said word by word, "Yin Yang... mind reading?"

Gu Xun smiled slightly and nodded, confirming Chen He's guess.

"Is it true?" Chen He was a little unbelievable, and his stiff face was slightly distorted, and he murmured, "Is there really such a thing as mind reading?"

Gu Xun raised his eyebrows, shrugged and replied, "Although I also think it's unreasonable, but that's the fact."

Yin-Yang mind-reading, this Yin-Yang technique is also available in Gu Xun's martial arts list. It cannot be upgraded and costs 50,000 gold. There are also prerequisites - Yin-Yang techniques must be practiced to at least the third level of the mind-controlling spell.

The two things combined cost 100,000 yuan. Gu Xun found it too expensive, and he was not interested in prying into other people's memories, so he didn't learn it.

Well, if you really need it, just go to Yin Yang's house to get a young man, it's cheap and affordable.

Gu Xun glanced at Qi Wangjian and continued, "Just now, the fire minister of the Yin and Yang family, Si Ming, used illusion to sneak up to His Majesty the King of Qi, and used the Yin and Yang mind-reading skill. He must have gotten what he wanted."

When Qi Wangjian heard that his memory had been spied on by others, he still looked relaxed and didn't seem to mind. He smiled and said, "Mind reading... that's really interesting."

"But I'm afraid the Yin Yang family will be disappointed. I have never been interested in Canglong Qisu, and I know very little about it!"

"Really?" Gu Xun raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and did not comment on Qi Wang Jian's statement.

Chen He's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

The three of them had a tacit understanding and did not bring up the topic of why Gu Xun didn't stop the Yin Yang family.

After all, the divisions between camps must be clearly defined, and bringing up this topic would spoil the fun.

"From the next time, until His Majesty King Qi leaves the border of Qin, Gu will protect you secretly." Gu Xun turned over the affairs of the Yin Yang family, talked about the next arrangements, and then left, "Nothing. If there’s anything else, I’ll leave first.”

"Then I'll bother you, sir." Qi Wangjian smiled and stretched out his hand to see the guest off.

Gu Xun nodded, turned around and left the rest cabin.

Chen He hesitated for a moment and then said to Qi Wang Jian, "Your Majesty, I will see off Mr. Gu."

Qi Wangjian waved his hand, indicating that he could do as he pleased.

Chen He also left quickly and caught up with Gu Xun who had not yet left the cabin.

In fact, it was Gu Xun who was waiting for Chen He, otherwise he would have disappeared long ago.

Chen He had poor control over his own thoughts, and it was easy for Gu Xun to see that others had something to say.

Of course Qi Wangjian also noticed it, but he had no intention of stopping it and chose to let it go.

"What do you want to say?" Gu Xun leaned against the wooden wall and asked Chen He.

Chen He pondered for a moment, "The king... seems to have anticipated the Yin Yang family's actions, and is deliberately... cooperating with them."

"Hmm..." Gu Xun nodded, and then asked, "Why do you, His Majesty the King of Qi, why do you want to cooperate with the Yin Yang family?"

"I don't know." Chen He shook his head simply.

"The matter about Canglong Qisu... I don't know the king's attitude, but his actions have always been difficult for people to predict."

Gu Xun smacked his lips and patted Chen He on the shoulder, "Okay, let's end this matter for now."

"Next, you can continue to be a guard with peace of mind and just send your king back to Linzi." Chen He nodded silently and turned around to go back.

Gu Xun immediately disappeared into the cabin.

Soon after, the ship was crowded with people from the Qin State who came to escort it. The members included not only the escort sent by Ying Zheng, but also officials from the counties on both sides of the Yellow River.

Although the Qi people tried their best to stop there in case there were assassins, they still couldn't stop them all. These people must see the state of King Qi in person.

It’s no wonder that the people of Qin were nervous. If anything happened to the King of Qi under their protection (within their jurisdiction), everyone would be implicated.

Right now, even if King Qi's people are fine, they will still remember a big mistake and wait for Qiu Hou to settle the score.

In this era, royal power...should not be taken lightly, whether it is the king of one's own family or the king of a foreign country.

………………

Gu Xun spent some time and ran to the other side of the river bank.

Coincidentally, Zhang Han had also crossed to the other side of the river.

Looking at Zhang Han, who was in a mess and covered in water stains, with water dripping down his clothes, Gu Xun couldn't help but let out a gloating laugh, "Hahaha..."

"I've already said, I can go alone. You still have to drive that broken sampan to follow. How about it? The water quality of the Yellow River is good, right?"

In response to his superior's insults and wanton taunts, Zhang Han could only accept them all with a wry smile, "National Preceptor, the last general is only responsible for his duties..."

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. It's miserable enough." Gu Xun restrained his wanton smile and reached out to pat Zhang Han.

The scorching Feihong Qi flowed through Zhang Han's body in an instant, and a burst of steam evaporated, and his wet clothes also dried up.

Zhang Han felt the warmth on his body and thanked him, "Thank you, Master."

"How are the casualties?" Gu Xun waved his hand and asked instead.

"Well, the statistics are not complete yet, but... the losses are not small. Each ship has been damaged. There are many people who fell into the river and were knocked unconscious by the waves and drowned. There are also many people who drowned due to exhaustion of physical strength." Zhang Han's eyes dropped slightly and his tone was low. replied.

Most of the people arranged for this operation were good at water, and the entire battle actually didn't last long. If there were no wind and waves, those who fell into the water would not drown.

But it's different when there are big waves. Not only does it take a lot of physical strength to stay afloat, but people are also easily knocked unconscious by the waves, or even killed directly.

Anyway, after a flood, the people escorting the guards, the people of the Shadow Guard, and the people in the trap suffered a lot of casualties.

Gu Xun looked at Zhang Han, who was in a depressed mood, and said nothing to comfort him.

According to what Da Siming said, this action was completely directed by Ying Zheng and the Yin Yang family... It may also be a collaboration between the two, or it may be proposed by Donghuang Taiyi, but in general, they are the main messengers.

All the dead were just victims of the plans of the superiors. Gu Xun had nothing to say.

One general's success will lead to thousands of bones being withered, that's all. Anyway... they are not innocent civilians. When they step onto the battlefield, they should understand that death will come at any time.

Gu Xun looked up at the sun, which was almost at its zenith, and replied, "You can have a few days of leisure in the next few days."

Zhang Han's eyes narrowed and he seemed to be quite touched by Gu Xun's words. He lowered his head and asked, "Does the Imperial Master mean that there will be another assassination?"

Gu Xun asked back, "Don't you have a clue in your mind about the next assassination?"
