Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 799 I want revenge
  When Gu Xun heard Wang Ben's agreement, he smiled with satisfaction.

As long as he is willing to cooperate, otherwise... Although he has no intention of getting close to the Wang family, he also has no intention of offending the other party.

As for Wang Ben's request for credit, Gu Xun directly refused, "There's no need to ask for credit. Gu doesn't need this."

In the past, Gu Xun thought that Qin destroyed six kingdoms and the Wang family and his son occupied five kingdoms, which was too powerful. But now that he is really in the situation of Qin, he realizes that destroying a country may not be a good thing.

For the Qin army, there are actually many generals who can be used. Wang Jian may have an irreplaceable role in some situations, but his son Wang Bi is not.

It's just that for Ying Zheng, it is actually very convenient to put as much of the blame for the country's destruction on the Wang family and his son.

As the saying goes, great achievements shock the master!
  The contribution to the destruction of the country was so great. For Ying Zheng, who was determined to completely abolish the feudal system, repaying the merit was a troublesome matter.

If there are too many generals who have contributed to the destruction of the country, it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to reward the Yi tribe one by one.

But it would be much more convenient if it was concentrated on one or two companies.

Of course, this is just Gu Xun's view when he is in the middle of the situation. Ying Zheng's temperament cannot be said to be kind, but it is not mean or unkind. He may not do what the bird has done, but it can only be said to be...prepared?
  In response to Gu Xun's rejection, Wang Ben raised his eyes and smiled without forcing anything.

The ownership of this military merit is not something he can give if he says so, and Gu Xun can take it if he doesn't want it. It has to be done according to the rules.

After the matter was discussed, Gu Xun stood up directly and said, "Then, I will wait for General Wang to organize his army."

Wang Ben hurriedly stood up and sent Gu Xun and Zhang Han out of the tent. "I thought the Imperial Guards had prepared a tent for rest. The conditions in the army are limited. If there is any neglect, I still hope to see Haihan."

"General, you're welcome." Gu Xun replied with a smile, and then he and Zhang Han left under the guidance of Wang Ben's personal soldiers.

The two found Xiaomeng who was resting alone elsewhere, and the three of them returned to the tent prepared by Wang Ben.

There are only one tent for three people.

It's not that Wang Ben is negligent, but that one room is generally enough.

Gu Xun is the national preceptor, the leader, and Zhang Han is his deputy and follower, and usually also works part-time as a bodyguard - if you need to say more, they must live in the same room.

As for Xiaomeng... can a seven or eight-year-old child arrange a camp alone?
  If there is really a need, Gu Xun and the others can ask Wang Ben again.

Fortunately, the tent is big enough for three people to live in.

However, the conditions of the internal facilities were not as good as the tent Wang Jian had prepared for Fusu. After all, he had known that Fusu was coming and was prepared.

Because of the war, the three of them had to sleep in the open for half a month, which was not a bad condition.

The three of them each found a place to sit down and rest.

Xiaomeng glanced sideways at Gu Xun, "Why, looking at your expression, I've gained quite a lot!"

The vengeful little girl is still deliberately smearing Gu Xun and collecting bribes.

Gu Xun was half lying on the couch, with his hands behind his head, and asked lazily, "Why can I accept bribes from Wang Ben?"

Xiaomeng said and gestured with great joy:

"What does a false title like Imperial Master have to do with the frontline war? You must have been ordered by King Qin to supervise the war and inspect the war. Generally speaking, according to official rules, Wang Ben is not allowed to give you any benefits. , lest you say bad things about him."

"Ah..." Gu Xun opened his mouth and could only reply, "Your logic is quite rigorous..."

What Xiao Meng said was indeed an official rule. Even the Qin State was no exception. At most, it was not as... rampant as other countries.

"Yes!" The little girl received Gu Xun's approval, narrowed her eyes, and raised her head proudly.

"But..." Looking at the proud Xiaomeng, Gu Xun's turning point came immediately, "This has nothing to do with you."

"Little girl, what you should consider now is where to go next." Upon hearing this topic, Xiaomeng's face fell, and her expression was slightly gloomy, but soon the clouds turned sunny again, and she replied with a nonchalant look:

"Well...didn't you say that I'm just a child? This matter must be decided by the two of you. What can I consider..."

Gu Xun glanced sideways at her, then looked back, and replied with half-closed eyes:
  "The priority is naturally your wishes."

"Wang Ben will be able to reorganize the army soon, and Daliang City will be destroyed soon."

"Once Daliang City is defeated and the battle against Wei is settled, Zhang Han and I will return to Xianyang. Your matter must be concluded as soon as possible."

Xiaomeng frowned, "Are you so confident that the Qin army can conquer Daliang in a short time?"

"Ha!" Gu Xun chuckled, "I usually don't lie to children."

"..." Business was more important, so Xiaomeng decided to endure it for now.

She did not further ask how the Qin army broke the city. The process was not important to her, only the result was important.

"If I have nowhere to go, will you two take me back to Xianyang?" Xiaomeng asked.

"Tsk... Of course Zhang Han and I can take you back to Xianyang, but are you really willing to go?" Gu Xun sat up and asked calmly while looking into Xiao Meng's eyes.

"..." Xiao Meng lowered her eyes in silence.

Xianyang...

She had never considered going there.

Gu Xun knew the answer by looking at her expression, which he expected.

"Although Zhang Han and I have neither asked about your life experience nor tried to find out, we can roughly judge from your daily conversations that you may have some grudges with the Qin State."

"Even...what happened not long ago cannot be ruled out as being caused by Qin's forces."

"So Zhang Han and I gave up the plan of taking you back to Xianyang."

Even the long-legged sister who is the head of Tianzong is of no value to Gu Xun. Saving Xiaomeng is just saving a half-grown child.

Unless the other party had no choice, Gu Xun would definitely not choose to throw people directly into the orphanage in Xianyang - there was a similar institution in the Pre-Qin Dynasty, official, but the quantity was worrying, and the quality... was not worth mentioning.

Xiaomeng listened to Gu Xun's words silently, looking ahead with unfocused eyes, and her mind was empty.

After suffering the catastrophe of genocide, she really had nowhere to go.

She didn't feel like she couldn't live alone, but she really had no goal.

Seeing this, Gu Xun didn't urge him, and quietly waited for the other party to sort out his thoughts.

After a while, Xiaomeng said slowly and in a low voice, "I... want revenge!"

Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and asked without comment, "How do you want to take revenge?"

Xiaomeng replied without thinking, "Practice martial arts!"

"I want to become stronger, strong enough to find those murderers and kill them!"

At this point, Xiao Meng finally set a practical goal, and then asked, "Gu Xun, do you know which sect is the strongest in the world?"
