Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 651 The King of Qi returns to Qi (continued )

"Alas..." Gu Xun rubbed his eyebrows, feeling very unhappy.

Zhang Han looked away, not looking at Gu Xun's face and not daring to speak.

"Forget it, forget it, let's wait and see for now." After regretting for a while, Gu Xun's depression temporarily dissipated, he shook his head and muttered helplessly.

Hearing what you mean, I’m still a bit unwilling to give up...

Zhang Han couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

Of course, he didn't dare to say it.

After expressing his emotions, Gu Xun turned to Zhang Han and asked, "By the way, have you finished what you were asked to do?"

"General, the arrangements have been made." After Zhang Han heard this, he turned to face Gu Xun, holding the reins in his hand and arching, "The collection of classics and information has been completed, but the inquiry involves a large number of people, so there are still a lot of people involved. needs time."

Gu Xun nodded, feeling more comfortable, and asked Zhang Han with a smile, "Why, are you curious why I asked you to collect these?"

Zhang Han lowered his head and chuckled, "I will not dare to pry into the affairs of the Imperial Preceptor."

"I don't dare, so you still think about it?" Gu Xun laughed.

Zhang Han said nothing and did not refute Gu Xun.

Of course he thought about it, and more than just thought about it, he also ordered his men to keep a copy of everything Gu Xun needed.

It's not because of his curiosity, it's just his loyalty to the king.

Gu Xunxin walked on the road uninhibited, raised his head and squinted at the sky, and said casually, "Curiosity... or other reasons don't matter, but if you can find anything interesting in it, it would be best to tell me. "

Zhang Han had a thought in his mind. Hearing what his boss meant, it seemed that he just wanted to find out some secrets... After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked:

"In that case, why don't the Imperial Masters ask the King? Wouldn't that have a greater chance of success and be more convenient?"

Gu Xun glanced at him sideways and said calmly, "It's okay for him to know part of this matter, but it's inappropriate to know too much."

Zhang Han was shocked by Gu Xun's glance. After hearing Gu Xun's subsequent words, he felt even more awe-struck and did not dare to say anything.

Gu Xunhun reminded Zhang Han nonchalantly, "Zhang Han, whether you believe it or not, doing this is the best choice for everyone, including Ying Zheng himself."

Zhang Han didn't dare to answer the conversation anymore. He looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and lowered his head, pretending to be dead.

Seeing this, Gu Xun smiled casually, not caring whether Zhang Han believed it or not, or whether Zhang Han would tell Ying Zheng.

Even if Zhang Han helped him do something, all he knew was just a glimpse of the leopard, that's all, it was no big deal.

Seeing that Gu Xun stopped talking, Zhang Han raised his head and looked at the other person carefully, with endless questions in his heart.

What is it, and why is it better to hide it from the king? And it's still... good for everyone?

Gu Xun ignored Zhang Han's secretly peeping gaze, facing the comfortable spring sunshine, and slowly moved his horse forward.

Gu Xun has not yet learned what Canglong Qisu is, but no matter what kind of power it is, it is probably not suitable to fall into the hands of the king and will be of no benefit to the people of the world.

In the final analysis, most people are selfish. This is true for Gu Xun and so for Ying Zheng. Selfless devotees are only a minority among the minority.

As a feudal king, his ambition, his ambition, and all his efforts were for his own benefit and for the continued survival of the Qin State.

Under this general premise, an overly powerful king will inevitably bring disaster to the people, but sooner or later. Gu Xun didn't want to see this scene, so...it was better to keep the King of Qin away from Canglong Qisu.

………………

Three days later, late at night.

The King of Qi's motorcade had already passed Maling and started heading towards Liaocheng, the last stop for him to leave Qin and return to Qi.

However, the distance between Maling and Liaocheng is relatively long, and it takes at least three days to get there, so it is necessary to transfer via Xue Ling.

But unfortunately, the distance between Xue Ling and Maling was not close, and the convoy did not arrive at Xue Ling County before nightfall.

Of course, King Qi Wangjia could not travel overnight, so he had to spend the night in the wild.

This is not the first time. After all, in these days, how can there be so many cities for you to stay? What's more, this huge and bloated convoy is not very fast. Camping in the wild is a common thing that no one can avoid, unless... they have been living in the city.

Of course, if you insist on searching, you can definitely find some villages where people gather and live, even small Tucheng, but there is no need.

In that kind of place, neither the living conditions nor the defense strength would be better than if they camped directly in the wild, so why bother with such useless efforts.

Outside the camp, on a hillside not too far away, Gu Xun and Zhang Han were looking at the large camp from a distance.

A team of more than a thousand people lined up to camp. The area was quite large, with a vertical and horizontal length of nearly two miles. Looking at it, it looked like a huge area.

Gu Xun looked at the camp. He must have been too bored recently, and his thoughts couldn't help but spread out, thinking of the Seven Hundred Miles Alliance under Big Ears hundreds of years later in history.

I wonder how magnificent that scene should look?

Zhang Han looked up at the sky at this time and said with a smile, "The moon and stars are sparse and the sky is dim. Today, the weather is perfect."

When Gu Xun heard the voice, he came back to his senses, smiled and agreed, "Well, God gives you face, so you can't miss this opportunity."

Tonight is basically the assassin's last good chance.

Tomorrow the king of Qi will arrive at Xue Ling, and from Xue Ling to Liaocheng, there will no longer be any situation of sleeping in the wild.

Although the several-foot-high city wall can't actually stop those who are interested, it is still better than nothing.

Thinking of this, Gu Xun couldn't help but smile and asked Zhang Han, "Do you think, in this case, they still consider it an assassination? Doesn't this mean they are aboveboard?"

"Opportunities always come with risks. This is a conspiracy, but it is the same for them and it is the same for us." Zhang Han thought for a while and replied.

Today's situation is like a game. The assassin gets an almost fair and honest assassination, while the defender also puts his most important chess piece on the dangerous side to see who is more skilled.

Of course, this kind of behavior, which is tantamount to using Qi Wangjian as bait, is actually inappropriate. It can even be said to be an offense to Qi Wangjian and is a disrespectful act.

But who told Gu Xun to make this plan? He didn't care about it.

Ying Zheng started this game because he had Gu Xun's guarantee to ensure that he would win.

Even King Jian of Qi readily agreed to Qin's move of using him as bait because of Gu Xun's behind-the-scenes protection.

Otherwise, after the first 'assassination' on the Yellow River, Qi Wangjian would be protected by King Qin in the safest way.
