Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 71 A little trick you don’t know about Changhong Sword

Zi Nu raised her hand and picked up the jug to pour a glass of wine for Wei Zhuang. She stared at the other person's stern face with bright eyes and asked softly:

"Are you going to take action now?"

"No." Wei Zhuang shook the glass filled with wine in his hand and shook his head, "It's not the time yet."

"You've been waiting for two years." Zi Nu's voice was very flat, and she couldn't tell if there was any hidden meaning in her words.

“The right opportunity is the shortcut to success and is worth waiting for, while impatience will only lead to failure.”

Wei Zhuang drank the wine again, stood up and walked to his exclusive seat - the window, his deep voice drifting along the cold wind.

"South Korea is now like a pool of stagnant water, and it and I are waiting for someone to muddy it up."

As a strategist, decision-making is the most important thing. Wei Zhuang is an extremely decisive person and never procrastinates, but sometimes it is necessary to wait and act, and blindly making decisions is undoubtedly stupid.

Zi Nu couldn't help but shook her head. Even though she was as smart as she was, she still couldn't figure out what Wei Zhuang was waiting for.

South Korea is a stagnant water. If Wei Zhuang himself doesn't stir it up, she doesn't see who else can stir it up.

This country is extremely stable, so stable that almost everyone is sitting back and watching its meticulous demise.

However, Wei Zhuang said that he had to wait, so she could only wait with him. After all, she was doing the other party a favor, and she was a guest, so she could not be the guest.

"It's up to you to decide what to do, but I hope... not to involve him." Zi Nu asked Wei Zhuang.

"Huh?" Wei Zhuang snorted in confusion and turned his back to the window.

When he turned around, Ren also figured out what Zi Nu meant, not to involve Gu Xun in what he wanted to do.

"He has provoked the night, and there is no way to avoid it."

Zi Nu shook her head and said:
  "The conflict between him and Ye Mu is the conflict between him and Ye Mu. It has nothing to do with what we want to do. The two cannot be confused."

Wei Zhuang was silent for a moment, and then said one word in a deep voice, "Okay."

If Zi Nu was not his friend, but someone else who didn't matter, or even an enemy, Wei Zhuang would most likely have turned on the taunting mode by now, saying words such as stupidity with a contemptuous smile on his face.

Wei Zhuang doesn't understand women, but he understands people's hearts.

In Wei Zhuang's view, Zi Nu's behavior was almost like self-deception.

It's normal not to want to drag friends into danger. At first, he didn't want Zi Nu to get involved in his plan, but it turned out that it was not in vain.

In Wei Zhuang's view, Zi Nu is cautious in doing things, has a rigorous personality, and doesn't like to take risks. Even so, she got into trouble. As for Gu Xun, you don't need to pull him. If he notices the slightest sign, he probably takes the initiative. He jumps faster than anyone else and can't be stopped.

Based on his current connection with Ye Mu and his relationship with Zi Nu, Wei Zhuang has reason to believe that he might have started to fight with Ye Mu before he even waited for the right opportunity, unable to pull them away.

Zi Nu also knew this, but people are not machines after all, and they will inevitably do some futile things or even stupid things.

She didn't want this friend to be in danger because of her, even though she knew very well that it was he himself who often brought danger to Gu Xun.

..............................

As dusk approaches night, the clear winter sun gradually disappears into the horizon with its afterglow.

Even if the sun shines brightly in winter, it cannot bring real warmth to people, but it is better than nothing. As the sun sets, the temperature begins to drop rapidly, and the cold air attacks all the people in Xinzheng City.

Fortunately, Xinzheng's geographical location is not bad. It is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. The temperature is much stronger than that in the north. Even if it is cold in winter, it is only very cold. At least the people living in Xinzheng can withstand the cold winter. As for other places in Korea, it often just depends on luck.

Gu Xun was accompanying Jing Salamander and little Ayan in the room. There were several light sources in the bright room, including the oil lamp on the table, the lamp stand on the wall, and the Changhong Sword placed beside the bed.

Because little Ayan was in poor health and the weather was cold, the child couldn't bear it. Gu Xun didn't think it was appropriate to light the charcoal basin, so he used the Changhong Sword as a heater.

Gu Xun pumped a stream of true energy into it, which could keep the room warm for half a day, and the Changhong Sword with the true energy stored in it would emit a faint light.

After seeing this usage, Hongmao just wanted to say... It's very good. It's understandable for the sake of the children.

In fact, it was Gu Xun himself who ended up in this situation. He was sometimes careless and forgot about the cold weather. He originally planned to find a craftsman to try to make a set of heating equipment.

That thing had no technical content, it was nothing more than a boiling water and water supply cycle. Based on some impressions, Gu Xun asked the craftsmen to try it. It should be no problem. The most important thing is to test it a few more times and make it rougher, as long as it can heat. It is not about appearance.

But because I forgot, I didn’t have time to do it in advance, and the real cold weather in Xinzheng only lasted a few days. It was probably going to be over by the time everything was ready, so Gu Xun simply stopped doing it. Once he got to a place where it was more stable, he would definitely stay there for a long time. It’s never too late to do something about it.

Now, let's just use the Changhong Sword to hit it.

Jing salamander had just put the child to sleep. Gu Xun looked at the little man lying on the bed and thought it was so cute. As expected, children look like angels as long as they don't have to take care of themselves.

After watching for a while, Gu Xun resisted the desire to pinch the young face. Gu Xun turned his head and looked at Jing Salamander, who had been sitting quietly on the side:

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, what do you think we need to prepare for?"

"Celebrate the New Year?" The big, round eyes of Jing Salamander were full of confusion, and he shook his head, "I don't know how to celebrate the New Year."

Gu Xun was not surprised. Jingli's answer of "I don't know" was really normal.

Gu Xun naturally didn't know how to celebrate the Spring Festival in the pre-Qin period (it didn't have such a name at that time). He just happened to think of it at this moment when he asked Jing Salamander, otherwise he must have asked Zi Nu before at Zilanxuan.

"Don't you have any impression? You can't be on a mission every Chinese New Year, right?" Gu Xun was bored and planned to develop Jing Salamander's memory.

Frightened Salamander raised his eyes and searched his mind for any special places at the turn of the new year. After thinking for a while, he said with a hint of uncertainty:

"There will be many sacrificial activities on the streets, many people will hang mahogany trees, and people seem to become happier."

"Is there any more?" Gu Xun asked.

Jing Salamander thought about it again, and finally shook his head, indicating that it was really gone.

Gu Xun smacked his lips, feeling a little bored, but it might be that Jingli didn't know too much, so he should ask Zi Nu later when he has a chance.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't know. I will accompany you once this year, and then you will know everything."

New Year?
  A very unfamiliar word, especially... years spent with someone.

Jing salamander still doesn't know what the meaning of the Chinese New Year is, but...she glanced tenderly at the child beside her and Gu Xun at the table...it would be good to have them with her.

"Okay, don't think about it, go to sleep."

After Gu Xun said that, he left the back room.

In an era without mobile phones and the Internet, when it gets dark, ah no, it should be said that even if it is still light, Gu Xun has nothing to do, let alone after dark.

It was really boring, otherwise he wouldn't insist on sitting in class for a period of time every day, and would also look at those bamboo slips without punctuation marks. Because of this boredom, he couldn't help but want to find something to do while being stimulated.
