Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 668 The Arrival of Confucianism
  Gu Xun said noncommittally, "The Fuso sacred tree was proposed by the Yin Yang family. It's up to you to decide how to deal with it. What King Qin wants is a result that satisfies him, and I don't care."

"Is this an order from King Qin?" Concubine Yan asked with a slight frown.

Gu Xun shook his head hesitantly, "Not exactly. He wanted me to go there. I am also interested in it myself. It just happened to happen."

Then he asked with a smile, "Why, Donghuang Taiyi doesn't trust me to go to Shu?"

Concubine Yan shook her head, "I'm not looking for you because I was ordered by the Eastern Emperor. He himself doesn't seem to care about it very much."

Although Concubine Yan feels like sitting on the bench in the Yin Yang family now, she is the deputy head after all, and Donghuang Taiyi cannot see her. It is still difficult to hide the movements of everyone else from her. From this, it can be judged Donghuang Taiyi’s idea.

Donghuang Taiyi is obviously not particularly worried that Gu Xun's entry into Shu will ruin his plan, and his main focus is still on Prince Yan Dan.

"Really?" Gu Xun was a little surprised.

Donghuang Taiyi is so calm... Could it be that he picked up something from Ying Zheng and knew that he would not act recklessly?

"In that case, why are you asking me for this?" Gu Xun asked curiously.

Without orders, how could Concubine Yan be so careless?

"..." Concubine Yan was silent, with an inexplicable look in her eyes, and her eyes were lowered secretly.

Gu Xun didn't ask any questions, tilting his head and waiting for the other party's next words.

After a long time, Concubine Yan replied, "I... I'm just curious, can't I?"

With a rhetorical question, Gu Xun raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand in a gesture of surrender, and said with a smile, "Yes, of course."

Concubine Yan sighed slightly, calmed down and said, "The Qin State is in troubled times right now. If you leave the capital at this time, aren't you afraid that some things will get out of your control?"

"Hmm...which ones are you referring to?" Gu Xun pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Everything." Concubine Yan replied lightly.

Gu Xun muttered, thought for a while and said, "There are some troubles, but I have made arrangements. As for whether there will be any mistakes..."

Speaking of the latter, Gu Xun's eyebrows jumped and he said with a smile, "Concubine Yan, have you considered helping me?"

Concubine Yan replied calmly, "I'm afraid I can't help the Imperial Master."

"What should I say? We are so familiar, aren't you willing to help me pay attention?" Gu Xun asked with a smile behind his hands.

"...I'm afraid I won't be in Xianyang by then, so I won't be able to help the Imperial Master." Concubine Yan couldn't help but hesitate for a moment before telling her the reason.

Gu Xun frowned when he heard this, then relaxed it again, "Is Yan Dan going to make a move so soon?"

He has never paid much attention to Yan Dan's actions, but the other party occasionally takes the initiative to contact him.

Concubine Yan nodded, "The Mo family has already taken some action, and it is expected that there will be results soon."

The Mo family... Gu Xun thought about it for a while. Even if Yan Dan and the Six-fingered Black Man contacted him, the other party would probably not feel that he had been deceiving him all along. His request was reasonable and consistent with his usual behavior pattern. Even if it was The Six-Fingered Black Man wouldn't be suspicious if he knew about it.

After turning his thoughts away, Gu Xun returned his attention to reality and sighed, "I didn't expect that Yan Dan would trust you so quickly."

"Since Headmaster Donghuang has arranged this plan, he is certainly sure of it." Concubine Yan replied matter-of-factly.

As for the specific method of obtaining trust, she did not explain it in detail.

"Then do you think he will come to me about this matter?" Gu Xun asked.

"Maybe..." Concubine Yan replied hesitantly, "He will probably ask the Six-Fingered Black Man for instructions to make a decision."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Yan added another question, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Xun glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, I said it's up to you to make your own decision. I won't directly destroy Yan Dan's plan." "I was just thinking about how to make him think that I would help him, and in the end I also thought that I would help him. I did help him.”

Concubine Yan frowned and thought for a while before she understood the meaning of Gu Xun's words - he just couldn't think of anything, but the other party thought he had contributed and paid for it.

This is really...

Shaking her head secretly, Concubine Yan was too lazy to challenge Gu Xun's words, and continued what she just said, "In short, I will leave Xianyang, and even the Qin State, and the Imperial Master will not be able to help."

Gu Xun breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back against the wall, clasped his hands on his chest, looked at Concubine Yan, and asked, "So, you plan to go to Yan State right now?"

"This is my mission."

Gu Xun smiled and did not argue with her about whether to give up or not. He just said, "The time when I leave may be about the same time as the time when Yan Dan's plan starts."

"In this case, you have two choices. You can follow him to the Yan Kingdom and continue your mission."

"The second is to give up the mission and go to Shu with me to see the scenery of Bashu."

"Hmph..." Gu Xun snorted and said with a smile, "Don't worry that I will be unhappy. This is your choice. It's up to you. Just do what you feel like."

"..." Concubine Yan did not speak and left silently.

Gu Xun sat where he was, and after drinking a few more cups of tea, he got up and went out of the house to find Zi Nu.

………………

Xianyang City, in the post where foreign ministers and envoys settled.

After nearly two months, the team from the Confucian Xiaoshengxian Village who came to Xianyang for academic exchanges finally arrived at their destination, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and temporarily settled in Guanyi.

Because the nature of the team was not particularly official, the State of Qin did not specially arrange to receive them under standing orders or at the Dianke Office, but only provided accompanying protection and accommodation.

In the room, Yan Lu, who had always been calm and mature, was in a restless mood at this time.

The colorful world is charming to the eyes, who wouldn’t like it? At least temporary interest is inevitable.

"Brother, headmaster, is this Xianyang? It is indeed a city without walls..." Yan Lu chatted with Fu Nian in a somewhat surprised tone.

On the way here, they walked through half of Xianyang, and they didn't see the city wall, so they felt that Xianyang seemed too big, much bigger than Songhai.

Fu Nian was still calm at this time and nodded slightly, "Although Xianyang is not as prosperous as Linzi, the capital of Qi, it still has its own vast atmosphere. It is indeed one of the most famous cities in the world today. "

While the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door outside.

After Fu Nian responded, a disciple from Little Saint Xian Manor came in and said, "Brother, Dr. Chunyu is here."

"Is Mr. Chunyu here..." Fu Nian murmured, and then told Yan Lu, "Junior brother, please rest on your own first."

"Yeah." Yan Lu nodded obediently.

Fu Nian then left with the disciple.

When he got outside, he saw an old man with a long beard and an elegant and gentle temperament. Fu Nian bowed and said hello first, "Fu Nian, I have met Mr. Chunyu."

Chunyu Yue stepped forward and said with a laugh, "Master Fu Nian is too polite. I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it."

　I'll take a day off tomorrow.

　　I suddenly realized tonight that it is February and tomorrow is the 1st.

　　Give me a break, please forgive me.
