Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 728 Walking Alone
  Gu Xun didn't need to look to know that Concubine Yan and Zhang Han were full of questions now, but his answer had clearly expressed his opinion.

The most direct gain for Yu Yuan and his party was that they finally knew the cause of the system mutation.

But this answer also explained many situations that he didn't understand in the past.

Although the truth about Canglong Qisu was still not completely clear, the general context finally emerged before his eyes.

The real purpose of Donghuang Taiyi...

The different attitudes of various schools of thought...

The myths of the past, the legends of the present...etc., there is finally a truly complete thread connecting them all.

Maybe his guess is still not quite accurate, but the deviation won't be too big.

The reason why he didn't make it clear to Concubine Yan and others was because he had already made up his mind about what he should do.

This was his own choice and had nothing to do with anyone else, nor was he considering anyone else. Naturally, there was no need to talk to them.

Now that you've decided, just go ahead and follow your own will.

………………

Two days later, the Guxun trio, who had completely left the Minshan Mountain Range, did not return to Xianyang because their purpose of entering Shu was achieved.

Instead, we changed our route and returned to Chengdu again.

This decision was made by Gu Xun, Concubine Yan didn't care about it, but Zhang Han...his opinion didn't matter.

The main reason for coming back to Guxun is to truly experience the scenery of Bashu.

It can be said that I walked in a hurry when I came here. I saw a lot of mountains and rivers, but I only saw some wild scenery.

He also wanted to experience the cultural heritage and find some suitable gifts to take back.

In modern parlance, what is that called... a souvenir.

And on the night he returned to Chengdu, he received information about Xianyang from Bai Feng's messenger bird.

When the situation developed to this point, he had expected it when he knew that South Korea was planning to cede territory and ask for help. He was not surprised. As for the way to deal with it, he had already figured out how to deal with it.

He immediately wrote a reply and told Mo Ya what to do next.

The letter bird returned faster than looking for someone, but the reply was delivered to Xianyang in Mo Ya's hands in one day.

The content on it made him puzzled. After some hesitation, he decided to go to Zi Nu to discuss it first.

…………

Zi Nu is now in Zilan Pavilion.

To be precise, because of Han Fei's incident, she had been paying attention to the news of the government and the public these days. She didn't take much care of the Wei River cruise and stayed in the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

When she learned about Mo Ya's visit, she guessed that Gu Xun might have received a reply and quickly welcomed him in.

As soon as they met, he asked anxiously, "How's it going? Did Gu Xun reply to your letter?"

Mo Ya nodded, but replied hesitantly, "I have received your reply from sir, but..."

"But what?" Zi Nu frowned.

Mo Ya didn't answer. He reached out and took out the deciphered letter and handed it over, "Master Zi Nu, please read it yourself."

Zi Nu took it and quickly scanned the paper with her eyes, her expression immediately becoming confused, "This...he told us not to care?"

Yes, the content of the letter was very simple, which was to ask Mo Ya and others to ignore Han Fei and let the situation develop.

This is why Mo Ya is confused.

He had repeatedly confirmed that the paper, the letter bird, and even the cipher text were all correct and could not have been switched, which meant that this was indeed what Gu Xun meant.

Zi Nu's doubts quickly subsided and she turned to guessing, "Is it possible that Gu Xunnan plans to come back and solve it himself?"

Mo Ya was noncommittal about this and said nothing. Seeing this, Zi Nu asked again, "Do you know where he is now?"

"I don't know the details of the situation." Mo Ya thought for a moment and replied, "But judging from the time it takes for the letter bird to come and go, I think the gentleman should still be deep in the land of Bashu, and I'm afraid it's not close to Xianyang. .”

"In this case, will he have time..." Zi Nu couldn't help but murmured after hearing this.

Mo Ya didn't comment on Zi Nu's speculation before because he felt that there was not enough time.

There are still two days until the Great Court Meeting. At that time, Korean envoys will come to the palace and formally propose the cession of territory.

That was Han Fei's last time.

In two days, Gu Xun wanted to cross a distance of one or two thousand miles, and the road to Shu was difficult to cross. It seemed that he didn't have enough time.

After thinking about it in her mind, Zi Nu analyzed, "Even if something happens to Han Fei in two days, he will not die immediately. Maybe Gu Xun can come back in time, but if he forcefully interferes with Han Fei's affairs by then, he will I’m afraid my relationship with King Qin…”

There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two kings in humans. Even if there are seven kings today, at least King Qin is still supreme and unique within the Qin Kingdom.

If Gu Xun forcibly disobeys the king's order, I am afraid that the already tense relationship will quickly collapse.

After all, unlike rescuing Concubine Yan, it was only a private matter. The affairs of South Korea and Han Fei must be done openly and openly.

Zi Nu felt something was inappropriate and looked at Mo Crow after hesitating for a moment, "What are you going to do?"

Mo Crow shrugged, "I will only follow Sir's orders."

The implication was that he would no longer care about Han Fei's affairs, and informing Zi Nu was the last action he took.

As for whether Zi Nu wants to stop, that's her business. He, a subordinate like Mo Ya, has no right to comment.

This answer did not surprise Zi Nu. She sighed softly and finally chose to believe Gu Xun. She nodded and said, "In that case, let's stop all arrangements and wait for the situation to develop."

Mo Ya nodded slightly and said, "I'll take my leave now."

………………

Shu County, Chengdu City, the second day after Gu Xun received Mo Crow's letter.

"You want to go out by yourself?" Concubine Yan confirmed doubtfully.

Gu Xun nodded and replied, "I want to go to Mengshan Mountain."

"Why do you suddenly want to go alone?" Concubine Yan asked.

Gu Xun actually asked to act alone, and she was a little curious about the reason.

Gu Xun didn't hesitate and immediately explained, "I'm just going to find something. I'll be back soon. There's no need for the three of us to go together. It's troublesome."

"Looking for something?" Concubine Yan muttered.

Just after the incident in Shushan, Gu Xun suddenly had to go out to look for things alone, which inevitably left her in her reverie.

Seeing this, Gu Xun smiled and said, "No need to think blindly, I'm not looking for anything special. Well... you'll know when I come back."

Seeing what he said, Concubine Yan stopped asking and warned, "Then you should be careful."

Although Gu Xun repeatedly assured her that she was fine, Concubine Yan was still a little worried that Gu Xun had not fully recovered.

Gu Xun nodded and accepted the other person's rare direct kindness, and replied, "I will be back in two or three days at most. During this period, you can wander around Chengdu by yourself."

"The land of Bashu has been closed for thousands of years and was occupied by the Qin State for only a few decades. Its development is lagging behind that of other countries in the Central Plains. However, thanks to this, the customs and customs still retain their characteristics."

"Since you've come here, let's see more."

Concubine Yan did not comment on this and only replied, "Just take care of yourself."

Gu Xun shook his head and smiled, "I'm leaving. See you in two days."

After saying that, Gu Xun disappeared directly.
