Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 783 The Second Drop of Blood
  In March of the 228th year of the Qin Dynasty, Ji Chun. (That is, BC. Readers who keep track of time will find that the time is out of order, but I have emphasized it many times, so just don’t care.)
  General Li Mu of the State of Zhao ordered the execution of Zhao Wangqian.

The next month, Qin general Wang Jian defeated the Zhao army, killed Zhao Cong, the leader of the Zhao army, and occupied Dongyang. His troops pointed directly at Handan. Yan Ju, the leader of another Zhao army, fled in fear.

In October of the same year, the Qin army completely occupied all of Zhao's territory except Dai County, captured Handan, and captured Zhao Wangqian.

Gongzi Jia fled to Dai with hundreds of Zhao royal family members and proclaimed himself king of Dai.

Well...it's basically the same as existing in name only.

From this, the Qin army came to the bank of Yishui.

As the saying goes, Qin general Wang Jian defeated Zhao, captured the king of Zhao, captured all the territory, and marched to the north to capture the territory to the southern border of Yan.

………………

On the road back to Xianyang, a luxuriously decorated carriage was running smoothly.

Sitting in the car were the eldest son Fusu, who had been following the Qin army for more than half a year, and his teacher Gu Xun, the master of the Qin State.

After experiencing such a huge battle to destroy the country, Fusu could still hold on physically, and it should even be said that he was in better shape, but he was really tired.

So on the way back, the master and the apprentice stopped riding horses and sat in the carriage honestly.

At this time, Fusu no longer had the fair face of the past. Although his face was clean, it was much rougher and had a light black color.

Although he doesn't have to be outside in the sun and rain every day, running around and practicing, he still has to watch the battle with the army. It's normal for his whole body to be tanned several degrees.

In fact, Fusu was the darkest just after summer, but now it has turned a lot whiter. I think it will be completely recovered next year.

However, Fusu's deeper changes must be in his temperament despite the changes in appearance.

At this time, he is no longer what he used to be. He is like a humble gentleman who is new to the world. Most of the childishness and youthfulness in his body have faded away, replaced by a vigorous heroic spirit.

Although he is still not tough and strong, he is completely different from the past.

Gu Xun is still very satisfied with this change, or growth.

In the carriage, the master and apprentice sat together, making Gu Xun's unchanged face look extremely white.

Fusu looked at his teacher, touched his slightly rough face, and asked with a bit of depression:
  "Teacher, why haven't you changed at all, but the students..."

Gu Xun half-leaned against the wall of the carriage and replied lazily, "When you become as strong as me, you won't be afraid of the sun, wind or rain."

"...Okay." Fusu said that he was fine.

Seeing this, Gu Xun laughed and said again, "Don't worry, you don't need to be so strong."

"When your Feihong Mind Technique reaches the seventh or eighth level, you will be able to use your true energy to shield your body from external influences for a long time."

"Seven or eight floors..." Fusu couldn't help but sigh.

He had practiced the Changhong Sword Technique a lot since he obtained it. More than a year had passed before the Feihong Mental Technique barely reached the third level.

If you want to reach the seventh or eighth level of cultivation... it will probably take more than ten years?

Anyway, don’t think about it for a while.

Fusu decisively changed the topic, "My father will definitely be very happy when the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed this time."

Gu Xun replied nonchalantly, "Yes, yes."

"Many of Zhao Guo's people are his enemies. Now he can take revenge."

As we all know, King Yingzheng of Qin followed his mother as a hostage in Handan in the past. He was humiliated and suffered a lot, so he was very hostile to the nobles of Zhao.

Tit for tat, it counts... Thirty years in the east of Hedong, thirty years in the west of Hexi, don't you bully the young man into poverty?
  Fusu very obediently ignored his father's past dark history and only talked about the war.

"Since the State of Zhao has been destroyed, I heard that General Wang Jian has already sent troops to Yan's southern boundary, on the south bank of Yishui River. Will he start an offensive against Yan next?"

Gu Xun first replied, "Destroying the three Jins first is the right way, and obviously the Wei State is the next target." "Chen Bing was in the southern border area of ​​the Yan State, just to shock the somewhat restless Yan State, and the so-called Dai State that was barely surviving. "

"But..." Gu Xun changed the topic and stopped talking half a sentence.

Fusu couldn't help but asked curiously, "What's wrong, teacher? What's the matter?"

Gu Xun shook his head, "It's nothing, I just remembered that I have a friend who seems to be in some trouble next."

"Ah?" Fusu didn't know why Gu Xun's thoughts suddenly went elsewhere, but he still asked, "Teacher, are you going to help him?"

Gu Xun waved his hand nonchalantly, "No need."

"What his fate is is his own business, not mine."

The friend Gu Xun mentioned was naturally the Six Fingered Black Man.

According to history, Wang Jian marched to the north to seize territory, which meant that Jing Ke was not far away from attacking Qin.

According to the plot of the anime, before Jing Ke assassinated Qin, the Six-fingered Black Man would be plotted by Concubine Yan, the Crown Princess of Yan, with the Six-Soul Terror Curse, and die in the forbidden area of ​​the Mohist government city.

Now because of Gu Xun's intervention, Concubine Yan did not become the Crown Princess of Yan, but Yan Dan still married a Crown Princess.

Gu Xun didn't believe that there was nothing wrong with that woman.

This means that the Six-Fingered Black Man may still follow the same path as the anime plot and die at the hands of Princess Yan.

But what happened, Gu Xun had no intention of intervening.

To Gu Xun, the Six-fingered Black Man was just an acquaintance, barely a friend, but he could not be compared with Han Fei and others.

Gu Xun doesn't particularly care about his life or death.

He doesn't care what path Yan Dan will take the Mo family down, or what kind of heavy losses they will suffer.

All schools of thought can be regarded as enemies to Gu Xun now, especially those who belong to Jianghu.

He wished that all sects would be weakened.

If he doesn't cut it now, sooner or later he will do it himself.

"Uh..." Although Fusu didn't know why Gu Xun was suddenly so 'unsympathetic', he didn't ask any more questions.

The teacher's approach has its own reasons and is definitely correct.

Gu Xun stretched out and said in a waning tone, "When we return to Xianyang, we, master and disciple, should be able to rest."

"Whether it is Yan State or Dai State, it has nothing to do with you or me."

After Gu Xun finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment. It seemed that something had something to do with it - Jing Ke's assassination of Qin.

This incident happened in Xianyang.

But...it doesn't seem like there's anything to worry about.

Every time he went to court, Zhao Gao stood beside Ying Zheng, guarding Gai Nie. His Highness also had Wei Liao, whose strength was no less than that of the Six-fingered Black Man.

Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin...doesn't this mean that the rabbit has gone into the wolf's den?
  Oh, there is also Qin Wuyang... there is no qualitative difference even if there is an extra rabbit.

What's more, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang are both the targets of Luo Wang's attention.

If they are allowed to serve as envoys to the Yan State, why should the Yan State pay attention to them? Isn't it obvious that they are just like lice on a bald man's head?

It's not convenient to mobilize the imperial army to surround you directly, why not mobilize a few top experts to ambush you?

What other outcome could this have besides sending it on the spot?
