Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 749 Concubine and Son

Suddenly hearing such an answer, Zi Nu and Nong Yu couldn't help but open their lips slightly, looking shocked.

After a moment of delay, Zi Nu asked with a complicated expression, "How did you know that Jing Ke's junior sister is pregnant?"

Gu Xun quickly raised his hands and clarified, "This really has nothing to do with me!"

Nongyu couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Zi Nu rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Seriously."

Gu Xun shrugged, "It's just a guess. If there's a reason, it's probably that the pregnant Gongsun Li is more useful to the Yin Yang family."

Based on the plot in his memory, Gu Xun judged that what the Yin and Yang family really needed was Jing Ke and Gongsun Li's child, which was Tianming.

Hmm...just like Princess Gaoyue.

Zi Nu couldn't help but frown when she heard this answer, "Why is this Yin Yang family so unruly?"

"And that King of Qin, who forced a married woman into a pregnant woman's house, is more obscene than you?"

"...Haha." Gu Xun didn't want to speak.

Nong Yu was covering her mouth and snickering.

Gu Xun shook his head helplessly, pretending he didn't hear the last few words of Zi Nu's words, "After all, it's just to achieve what you want. Although it's ridiculous, there's nothing to say."

"You don't need to pay more attention to this matter."

"You don't want to ask about this matter?" Zi Nu asked curiously, "The Mo family has some friendship with you, right? And Jing Ke, I am already familiar with you, so you just look at me like this?"

Gu Xun hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head, "I don't care."

"Let the Mo family handle matters on their own."

Looking at Gu Xun who looked relieved, Zi Nu asked doubtfully, "You look like this...what have you figured out?"

Gu Xun smiled and nodded, "Well... I have finally considered the candidate for the master of the Azure Light Sword."

At this time, Nongyu, the master of the Whirlwind Sword, couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Who is it?"

"Let's wait until everything is settled." Gu Xun didn't answer, he just gave it a try and took the opportunity to rub Nong Yu's little head.

He originally expected to have two choices for the master of the Green Light Sword, one of which was Jing Ke.

But just now, he gave up on Jing Ke's choice.

This also meant that he gave up interfering in Li Ji's affairs and just sat back and watched the tragedy of Jing Ke and his sister.

Gu Xun has already sabotaged the actions of the Yin and Yang family one after another. If he continues to interfere with Li Ji's affairs, I am afraid that the Yin and Yang family will encourage Ying Zheng to completely fall out with him.

It's not a good thing to make yourself uncomfortable for nothing.

As for the tragedy of Jing Ke... Everyone born in this era is helpless. There are many people with more miserable life experiences than him. Gu Xun does not have so many unnecessary kindness.

As for the relationship with the Mo family, it is even more unnecessary.

He was destined to become enemies with various schools of thought, especially Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism and Taoism.

The next three people were speechless for a while.

Zinu Nongyu was not a living Buddha with a Bodhisattva heart, and she did not have any objections to Gu Xun's choice to sit idly by. However, she was inevitably sad when she heard that such a tragedy was about to happen to her.

His jade-like fingers couldn't help but pluck the strings again, and a slightly sad song "Birds Facing the Phoenix" sang out.

Before they finished talking about the song, Xiao Hongyu, wearing a yellow skirt, walked into the flower hall and timidly said to Gu Xun:
  "Sir, the Imperial Prefecture received a letter saying it was for you and it was delivered here."

After speaking, Hong Yu stepped forward and handed Gu Xun an envelope. Gu Xun reached out to take the thing and touched Hong Yu's head. "Well, you go and play."

Hong Yu glanced at Gu Xun and wanted to retort that she was not playing anymore, but she still didn't dare to speak. She saluted Zi Nu and ran away.

Gu Xun ignored the child's thoughts, lowered his head, tore off the paint, took out the letter and started reading.

There wasn't much on the paper, so Gu Xun read it quickly. Then he threw it away and the paper flew out along the crack of the window. Then it spontaneously ignited without fire and turned into ashes before falling into the river.

Seeing that Gu Xun didn't read the letter to her, Zi Nu knew that it was probably something that had nothing to do with them, but she still asked:
  "what's up?"

Gu Xun pursed his lips, "Well...it's a trivial matter, it can be regarded as a favor."

Zi Nu blinked her eyes and smiled lightly, "It's strange that you still owe people favors."

Gu Xun spread his hands and said, "There are always some special circumstances."

"But it's nothing big, just doing a small favor for the other party."

"Do you need our help?"

"No need." Gu Xun shook his head, "I can handle it by myself."

………………

In mid-November, winter in Xianyang has completely arrived.

Although there is no sign of snow yet, the temperature has turned completely cold, and the cold winter wind is howling on this land.

Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides. For now, this applies to all creatures living on this land, and humans are no exception.

The streets of Xianyang were a lot deserted, and the business of Zilanxuan Anxiang Pavilion and other places also dropped a lot.

In this kind of weather, no matter whether they are wealthy businessmen, nobles or ladies, they are more willing to stay at home and hold the heater.

But just this month, two minor events happened in Xianyang Palace.

The first was the birth of Qin Wangzheng's eighteenth son. He was born with different pupils, his left eye was ice blue, and his right eye was golden. He seemed to be deeply loved by the king and named him Hu Hai.

Secondly, King Qin Zhengxin admitted a concubine into the palace and named her Concubine Li. According to legend, the story is very mysterious, but she was highly regarded for her natural beauty and beauty. She was the best in terms of application, but... she looked haggard all day long. , looking worried and incomprehensible.

In the eyes of the unintentional, these two pieces of news are no big deal.

It's gratifying to have a new prince born, but it's already the eighteenth, so... that's it.

As for the multiple concubines who have no backstage, they are even less worth mentioning. They are even less valuable than the prince.

But in the eyes of those who are interested, it is completely different.

Hu Hai put it aside for now, as there are still too few people paying attention to him.

But the entry of Concubine Li, or Gongsun Li, into the palace has affected the minds of many people.

For example, the chief swordsman and personal guard of the King of Qin, Guigu Zongjian Gai Nie.

He went to the palace where Concubine Li lived more than once to investigate and confirm his suspicions, but this also disturbed his mood. For the first time, he had... let's call it doubts about his choice of monarch.

However, Gai Nie was Gai Nie after all. Apart from occasionally using some of his energy to pay attention to Li Fei, he did not show any abnormality and remained as taciturn as ever.

A few days later, the Mo family in Jicheng, the capital of Yan, thousands of miles away, also received the news.

Everyone in the Mo family immediately confirmed that Concubine Li was the kidnapped Gongsun Li.

Although they didn't understand why Gongsun Li suddenly became the concubine of King Qin, the information sent back by the Mohist disciples hidden in Xianyang when they were almost completely wiped out was unmistakable.
