Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 697 Yu Yuan Guards
  Concubine Yan naturally would not refuse this suggestion, but instead asked:
  "The subordinate next to the Imperial Master is from King Qin, right? Are you just going to keep him like this?"

Gu Xun rested his elbows on the table and sat slouched. He waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "What kind of trouble can he make?"

"I had no intention of covering up your whereabouts in the first place. Whether it's the King of Qin or the Yin Yang family, I know it, so what can I do?"

"Prince Qin... I'm afraid he won't let this matter go so easily." Concubine Yan said with concern.

"That's something I need to consider after I return to Xianyang." Gu Xun replied lightly.

Concubine Yan couldn't help but look sideways and asked, "Aren't you afraid that King Qin will call you back to the capital now?"

Gu Xun asked back, "Do you think, if I don't want to go back, the person who gave the order can live to tell the so-called order?"

As long as the order is not spoken alive, it means it does not exist, right?
  "..." Concubine Yan was speechless.

Of course, making people speechless is a way to deal with it, but... who in the right mind would do this?

Doesn't this further intensify the conflict?

"Aren't you worried about the people in the Imperial Prefect's Office? They are all in Xianyang, under the control of King Qin." Concubine Yan asked again.

"Ying Zheng is a smart man and will not rashly break up with me." Gu Xun replied nonchalantly.

It is easy to take advantage of Gu Xun's absence to deal with the orphans and widowers in the Imperial Prefecture, but whether this can be used to control Gu Xun is unknown.

In Gu Xun's view, the current Ying Zheng tends to be prudent and conservative in his actions, and will not casually do things to a dead end, especially on the basis of betting on probabilities.

Maybe after he destroys several countries and his ambition and prestige further expands, his style of behavior will change to a more hegemonic and authoritarian one, but not yet.

Seeing that Gu Xun knew what was going on, Concubine Yan stopped asking any more questions.

Gu Xun turned around and asked casually, "By the way, do you know much about Shushan?"

Although Gu Xun had never told her his purpose of going to Sichuan before, he suddenly wanted to travel around Bashu without any end, and his real purpose could be said to be obvious.

Concubine Yan was not surprised when she was suddenly asked about a related topic and replied calmly:
  "I have never been to Shushan, but I have learned something about it from the information in the sect."

"The Shushan tribe has lived in Shu for generations and never leaves the homeland they protect. Most of the tribesmen are good at physical arts and witchcraft."

"Witchcraft... Baiyue's kind?" Gu Xun interjected curiously.

Concubine Yan was not displeased by the sudden interruption and explained unhurriedly, "It's not the same."

"Baiyue witchcraft is closer to Yin Yang magic, covering a wider range, and most of them have direct combat capabilities. However, the witchcraft of the Shushan tribe prefers to use foreign media to achieve certain special effects."

"These effects each have their own miraculous effects, but they are mostly used for auxiliary purposes rather than frontal combat."

"Oh..." Gu Xun murmured thoughtfully, "It's like the Taoist Dream Butterfly Escape?"

Concubine Yan was not surprised to hear this term from Gu Xun. As a magical art created by Zhuang Zhou, one of the most famous sages of Taoism, after he realized Taoism, Dream Butterfly Escape is still relatively well-known.

"That's almost the case, but deception is just one of them, not all of them."

"Understood." Gu Xun nodded, and then asked, "What about physical skills?"

"It's a close combat method." Concubine Yan introduced briefly and comprehensively.

Gu Xun looked at her with wide eyes, and she looked at Gu Xun with the same eyes.

"That's it, no more?"

Concubine Yan did not answer, but the meaning in her eyes was very clear.

What more do you want? This is a world dominated by swords. Of course, the noblest profession is that of swordsman.

Followed by Master Fa - the Master here is also limited to the two big families of Taoism and Yin Yang Family.

The rest are all non-mainstream super soldiers, ranking at the bottom of the contempt chain.

Hard skills, sorcery, swords, guns, clubs, axes, axes, hooks and forks, etc., are all useless choices that cannot fit into the schools of swordsmen and mages.

Of course Shushan's Lao Shizi physical skills are no exception.

Why would Concubine Yan pay extra attention to this thing?

"Okay..." Gu Xun smacked his lips, and finally understood what Concubine Yan meant. This was mainly because he came from modern times and was very familiar with the contempt chain, so he could understand it better.

"According to what you said, Shushan is very weak. Isn't it difficult for the Yin and Yang family to deal with them?"

Concubine Yan nodded, but then shook her head.

Gu Xun was confused, "What do you mean?"

Concubine Yan explained, "The Shushan tribe has a large number of people, but as a complete ethnic group, there are quite a few old, weak, women and children, and the strength of the tribe is generally weak. Even the strength of the Yin Yang family is enough to destroy their entire tribe."

"But what?" Gu Xun helped Yan Fei say the turning point.

Concubine Yan raised her phoenix eyes and continued speaking directly, "There is a team in Shushan composed of a few elite masters among the tribe."

Gu Xunyin was thoughtful, he probably knew which team Yan Fei was talking about.

Yu Yuan guards...

However, I feel that the strength of Yu Ziqi, who was one of Yu Yuan's guards in the original anime, was also very average, allowing Yun Zhongjun, a super soldier, to take down him casually.

Is it possible that there are many people?

Concubine Yan didn't know what Gu Xun was thinking, but her next words cleared up Gu Xun's doubts.

"The Yu Yuan guards are a special group of individuals. Their own strength is not a problem for the Yin Yang family, but they can borrow extra power from the Fuso tree."

"After receiving the blessing of the power of the sacred tree, their strength will be greatly enhanced, and they will be able to restrain onmyoji to a considerable extent."

"Ah this..." Gu Xun was speechless.

Why did he, who was said to be a master of physical arts, suddenly become a myth?
  what is this?
  God descends? God beat? Or is it Grandmaster... Oh no, is it Master Shen Shu who saves lives?
  Concubine Yan could see the awkwardness on Gu Xun's face, but this was reality, as Donghuang Taiyi had explained before.

"The Fuso Sacred Tree...really has divine power?" Gu Xun opened his mouth and chose to skip the topic of Yu Yuan's guards, and instead asked about the more central Fuso Sacred Tree.

Concubine Yan did not give a positive answer this time, but said vaguely, "Maybe."

"The Fuso sacred tree is an important part of the Yin Yang family's plan, but I don't know whether it is really magical and what kind of magic it is."

At the end, I did not forget to emphasize that what I said before was true, "But Yu Yuan's guarding is not an empty lie."

"Then... that's okay." Gu Xunshi smiled and accepted this statement. Although it was not martial arts, it was very Canglong Qisu and there was nothing wrong with it.

Besides, this is a good thing for him.

"It seems that this trip to Sichuan will be more interesting than I expected."
