Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 731 It’s different
  "Now that you've made your choice, let's go." Gu Xun nodded, "For Baiyue, maybe you can still do some trivial work."

"Really?" Han Fei smiled sarcastically, half-joyed and half-sighed, "That's not bad."

At this time, Mo Ya stretched out his hand and pointed to the carriage that had been prepared nearby, "Ninth Young Master, please come with me."

"Well..." Han Fei breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Gu Xun and the other two and said goodbye, "Brother Gu, Miss Zinu, wait... I'll see you someday."

Zi Nu warned with concern, "Take care of yourself, the environment in Baiyue is not very good."

Gu Xun said calmly, "Drink less."

"Hahaha, you have to drink wine." Han Fei smiled heartily, but didn't listen to Gu Xun's words at all, and immediately turned around and got on the carriage.

After Mo Ya bowed to Gu Xun, he drove away drunk with Han Fei.

Gu Xun and Zi Nu watched their old friend's carriage and horses go away until they disappeared.

Zi Nu turned her face and asked Gu Xun, "Are you going to let Han Fei do something in Baiyue?"

Gu Xun nodded and said, "Do you think Han Fei is a person who is willing to take some time off?"

"Spanking a child on a rainy day is just free time. You can make random arrangements, but it may not be useful."

Zi Nu glanced at Gu Xun in surprise, "You never cared about these things before."

Gu Xun looked up at the vast night sky and replied with a smile, "Times have changed."

"South Korea's cession of territory and petition to ministers represents the end of an era."

"What era?" Zi Nu knew vaguely in her heart, but she still couldn't help but ask.

Gu Xun looked at the starry sky with wandering eyes and murmured back, "The era of disputes between princes is coming to an end..."

"It's time for me, or should we say, to do something."

Zi Nu looked at Gu Xun with bright eyes and asked, "What should we do?"

Gu Xun pondered for a moment and then replied, "From today on, the forces of the Imperial Master's Office will be merged into Quicksand and continue to expand the scale."

"But don't expand within the Qin State. Target... the northern Xinjiang and Lingnan."

"Northern Xinjiang and Lingnan?" Zi Nu asked in confusion, "These two places... are there any opportunities for development?"

Of these two places, one was invaded by wolves and was in poverty and chaos; the other was plagued by poisonous insects and fog, making survival difficult and of no value at all.

Upon hearing this question, Gu Xun replied calmly, "Take people from the north, and take wealth from the south."

"People? Wealth?" Zi Nu still didn't understand, and was even more confused.

There are many wars in the north and sparsely populated areas, but trade with foreign races is quite profitable. However, it is difficult to survive in Lingnan. Although the people of Baiyue are not many, most of them are tenacious and have good fighting ability.

Why do you do it in reverse?

Gu Xun smiled and did not explain immediately. He just said vaguely for the time being, "We will discuss it in detail later. It's getting late tonight. You can go back."

"What about you?" Zi Nu was not eager to find out Gu Xun's plan after hearing this, and asked casually with concern.

"I still have something to do. After finishing it, I will go directly to Shuzhong." Gu Xun replied simply.

After Zi Nu got the answer, she stopped talking and nodded, "Then be careful, I'll leave first."

"Yes." Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled, nodded and watched Zi Nu leave.

But after she left, Gu Xun still didn't leave, standing there. Not long after, he waited for a visitor.

Under the cover of night, a man in a matte black robe quietly arrived near Gu Xun. He almost completely blended into the darkness. If it weren't for some gold ornaments, it would be difficult for others to know even if they passed by him.

However, this level of protectiveness was not enough to deceive Gu Xun. He smiled and greeted the visitor, "It's really rare that the leader of Donghuang is willing to come out of the star-gazing hall!" Donghuang Taiyi's body remained motionless and dull. A voice came out from under the black robe and replied, "I am also surprised that the Imperial Master is not in Shu and has returned to Xianyang."

"Hmph..." Gu Xun snorted lightly, "If not for this, how could I see how bold you are?"

"Taking advantage of my absence to attack Han Fei... I should have warned you, right?"

"Are you so sure that I won't kill you?"

"Well……"

Underneath the plain voice, there was domineering Qi, and just one word made Donghuang Taiyi shake.

"...The Imperial Master is good at what he does." Donghuang Taiyi groaned and couldn't help but praise.

"But... first Concubine Yan, then Han Fei, and the various actions of the Imperial Master, are you not afraid of King Qin's wrath?"

Gu Xun didn't bother to argue with him whether he was afraid of Ying Zheng, and simply choked him, "No matter how angry King Qin is, I will destroy the Yin Yang family first without delay."

"..." Donghuang Taiyi was speechless.

This was a reality he didn't want to accept but had to admit.

Regardless of whether Ying Zheng has the ability to kill Gu Xun with one blow, he can definitely destroy the Yin Yang family before defeat.

A threat, a naked threat, but Donghuang Taiyi had to forcefully accept this threat.

Ying Zheng has a restraining and restraining effect on Gu Xun, but he cannot absolutely rely on this - this is the attitude of Donghuang Taiyi all the time, otherwise the Yin and Yang family would not repeatedly give in to Gu Xun.

"The Yin Yang family admires the strength of the national advisor. However, since the imperial advisor is a minister of Qin, why did he repeatedly destroy the plans ordered by the King of Qin?"

"It is true that the Yin and Yang family cannot face the wrath of the national master, but how should the national master deal with the wrath of King Qin?"

"Huh..." After hearing this, Gu Xun couldn't help curling his lips and sneering contemptuously, "Plan... ha!"

Then he suddenly changed the subject and said, "You should know the purpose of my going to Shuzhong, right?"

Donghuang Taiyi didn't know why, but he nodded and responded, "Shu Mountain, Fusang Sacred Tree."

Gu Xun grinned, "I gained a piece of information in Shushan that was far more important than I thought before."

"This piece of information finally allows me to get a glimpse of what the Yin Yang family...or rather you, Donghuang Taiyi, want to do."

"..." Donghuang Taiyi remained silent, but his heart skipped a beat.

Very few people in the world know his true purpose, and even within the Yin Yang family, no one other than him knows about it.

The few insiders also have their own attitudes towards this, and they also have their own precautions against each other. Donghuang Taiyi knows it well and is not worried.

Only Gu Xun...he didn't know what his attitude would be.

Donghuang Taiyi asked himself that his plan was already a conspiracy and no one could stop it.

But it is not indestructible.

The core of the plan lies in him and Ying Zheng. If either of them has a problem, the plan will fall short and come to nothing.

For example, if Ying Zheng gives up the idea of ​​immortality and no longer supports the Yin Yang family, or...his Donghuang Taiyi dies directly, it will indirectly interrupt the plan.

Originally, he was not worried about these issues because he could see that Ying Zheng was persistent enough in the matter of immortality, and no one could directly threaten his or Ying Zheng's life.

But things are different now. Someone can do this, and the other party's attitude is naturally crucial.
