Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 916 Children (two in one)

Shao Yu looked at Tian Ming with reluctance, opened his arms and hugged him, "Tian Ming, goodbye!"

"Ahem... be gentle, I told you to be gentle!" Shao Yu was so excited that he almost couldn't breathe due to his natural strength, so he hurriedly patted Shao Yu to signal him to let go.

Shao Yu didn't care about this. No matter how tight he held him, he couldn't strangle him for a while, so he slowly let go of his hand.

As soon as Tianming was freed, he quickly took two steps back, rubbed his neck, and said angrily, "I know you can't let me go, brother, so there's no need to use such force!"

Shao Yu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother? I have never seen a eldest brother who was almost strangled to death after just hugging him!"

"You are my little brother's fate, so you should be appointed honestly!"

"Speaking of which, once I leave, brother, I won't be able to protect you in the future. Are you worried about your future life?" Finally, because Shao Yu was worried about Tian Ming's future, he tried to enlighten him in a joking way.

Unfortunately for the heartless Tian Ming, even though he knew that the future would be difficult, he still wasn't worried, or in other words... he simply didn't know what the difficulty was.

If you don't have any idea, what's there to worry about?

At this time, Hun waved his hand carelessly and curled his lips nonchalantly and said, "Hey, hero Tianming, do you still have to worry about this?"

"Boy, just wait. When you see your brother next time, I will already be a famous hero in the world."

Looking at Tianming who proved the truth that ignorance is bliss with his own actions, Shaoyu could only smile and silently wish him safety in the future.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, let's go!" Raising his hand, Shao Yu led the horse and headed east.

Tianming scratched the back of his head and looked at Shao Yu's leaving figure. The jump in his eyes gradually faded away and turned into sadness and reluctance.

Gai Nie didn't speak, just stood quietly behind him.

As for the snow girl, she has long since left.

Shao Yu and her actually had quite an overlapping journey. She had planned to take Shao Yu with her before, but the relationship between the Mo family and various anti-Qin forces was pretty good, and the Xiang family was no exception.

They have to go through Guanzhong next, and Shao Yu is a real wanted criminal. He is somewhat dangerous, so he should take care of a junior.

But Shao Yu rejected it.

The reason... is that he is a traitor.

The reason why he appeared in Longxi before was because he couldn't stay at home anymore and sneaked out privately.

Although the trip to Loulan was exciting and fulfilling, he still wanted to see more.

Especially after the conversation with the snow girl Genie that made him half understand, he was no longer particularly anxious to get home.

But Xue Nu was very anxious to return to the Mo family and contact the head of Renzong Xiaoyaozi.

So the two parted ways.

Tian Ming froze in place until Shao Yu could no longer be seen, then he turned to look at Gai Nie and asked, "Uncle, will Shao Yu and I see each other again?"

"I will." Gai Nie nodded slightly and replied in a low but affirmative voice.

"Yeah!" After Tianming heard this, he nodded heavily and shouted with renewed vigor, "I'll definitely see you again!"

"Let's go too, uncle."

………………

Gu Xun left Shuyi Hall and walked out of the palace with his brisk steps.

The maids and waitresses he met along the way would all bow and salute when they saw him.

After so many years, almost everyone in the palace got to know this handsome and unreasonable Imperial Master, and their attitude towards him was basically respectful.

After all, not everyone dares to take such a wanton and unrestrained pace in Zhangtai Palace.

For example, a certain high-ranking Lord Tingwei, even though he was about to be promoted to prime minister, still walked calmly and reservedly in the palace, looking particularly solemn and not daring to be frivolous or indifferent.

When Li Si saw Gu Xun, an old acquaintance, he didn't put any airs on him. He stopped walking first, clasped his hands and said hello, "I haven't seen you for many days, Master National Preceptor."

Looking at Li Si, whose face was getting older, Gu Xun showed a strange smile, raised his hands and said in return, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Li, it's not bad."

As for Li Si, Gu Xun had a close relationship with him in the years when he first came to Xianyang, but in recent years, he has gradually become estranged.

After all, we are not from the same place, and Li Si does not have any irreplaceable important role for Gu Xun. It is normal for the relationship to fade away.

As for how it will develop in the future, it depends on what choice Li Xiangguo will make.

What Gu Xun paid most attention to now was his appearance.

Compared to the undeniably ugly faces of the ugly trio of Ji Wuye, Liu Yi, and Jade Tiger, Li Si's appearance is the type that... feels like it ruins everything.

From his youth to his current middle-aged and bearded age, Li Si's facial features have always been considered regular, with nothing major wrong with them. However, at a glance, he gave people a... not-so-good feeling.

When he was young, he always had an evil look on his face, giving the impression that he didn't want to take the right path.

Gu Xun originally thought that he would improve as he got older, but as a result...the evil spirit disappeared, and his face turned into a gloomy one, and he still looked like a bad guy.

It can be regarded as... ugly and special.

After slandering the other party with some malice in his heart, Gu Xun asked casually, "Master Li, are you going to see His Majesty the Emperor?"

List paused for a moment and showed a slight smile, but he did not hide it deliberately, "Yes, there are some things that need to be reported to His Majesty."

"Well, he is worthy of being the person who is about to sit at the top of a hundred officials. He is just busy." Gu Xun couldn't help but ridicule after hearing this.

The current left and right prime ministers of the empire are Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang, but their positions are not stable now.

Wei Zhuang was too old and his abilities were just that much. For an emperor as enterprising as Ying Zheng, it was naturally inappropriate to continue his appointment.

As for Wang Wan, not to mention, he was a die-hard member who continued to enfeoff. Ying Zheng did not like him, his own abilities were not indispensable, and his abolition was certain.

The candidates for prime minister are Feng Quji and Li Si.

The former's position as the right prime minister is basically stable, while the latter's position as the left prime minister...is also basically stable.

Mainly because there are no strong competitors.

Dr. Feng Jie, the imperial censor, is very capable and has sufficient qualifications, but he certainly cannot let the Feng brothers take over the position. Besides, this guy has a straight temper, so he is not suitable.

Neishi Mengyi has good abilities, suitable personality and status, but his qualifications are not very good and he is too young, so his promotion to prime minister is a bit over-promoted.

The remaining candidates among Jiuqing are not even a little bit worse than Li Si, and he is the only one who can rise to the top.

This is basically a fact known to both the government and the public.

However, facts are facts and cannot be said nonsense if they are not implemented in practice.

Just because Gu Xun is not taboo does not mean that Li Si dares to be unscrupulous, so when he heard this, he immediately explained, "The Imperial Master is joking, it is just a folk rumor and cannot be put on the stage."

Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled. He didn't say anything more about this point. He raised his hand and said goodbye, "Haha, I won't delay Master Li. I'll leave first."

Li Si waved his hand and said politely, "Master, please go slowly."

Gu Xun laughed again and walked away.

Li Si still stood there, watching Gu Xun's leaving figure, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

He couldn't understand what this person wanted before. After so many years, he found that he didn't understand it even more. Especially in the past few years, the other party has become more and more in-depth and reclusive, but a series of changes that happened to the eldest son Fusu proved that this teacher was definitely not staying away from the court.

But what exactly does he want to do?

In the past, Li Si couldn't see through Gu Xun, but didn't care much about it, but now he can no longer ignore him.

Because of Fusu.

The relationship between Fusu and the Meng family can be said to be very close to the naked eye, and the Meng family now not only has deep influence in the military, but also has a huge territory in domestic affairs.

That's right, it's Meng Yi, the second son of the Meng family.

The relationship between Fusu and Li Si was very indifferent, and could even be said to be alienated.

It seemed that the eldest son didn't like him very much.

Regarding the attitude of the most favorable candidate for the imperial crown prince, Li Si, an official fan, naturally felt a little anxious. After all, if his position was to remain stable, he had to have a good relationship with the emperor.

The current First Emperor naturally trusts and respects him, but what about in the future?
  Prepare for a rainy day or worry about nothing?

Li Si was not sure. After all, the First Emperor was still in his prime, and it was almost unknown who would die first, between himself and the other party.

But one thing is certain, that is, the probability that his descendants will die before the First Emperor is extremely slim.

After his death and the new emperor ascending the throne, where should the Li family go?
  ………………

Imperial Prefecture.

Gu Xun looked at the tall and thin girl in front of him, with a quiet and pitiful temperament, wearing plain blue clothes, and smacked his lips.

As the child grows older, the temperament becomes more similar to her mother's, but the similarities only exist on the surface, but they are completely different on the inside.

Frightened Salamander's mind is very shallow, but her mind is very deep.

Gu Xun has never been able to figure out how to get along with this cheap girl who is growing up.

Sigh...it was obvious that the person closest to her when she was a child was herself...

A child can’t help but... No, a girl can’t help her father!

Ayan looked at his father, who looked at most twenty years old, with calm eyes, and greeted calmly, "Father, are you back?"

Gu Xun forced a smile and replied as softly as possible, "I came back earlier, but I was called to the palace by the emperor before I even entered the house."

Then Gu Xun asked with concern, "How are you feeling during this time?"

Ayan smiled slightly and replied, "There's no problem, it's always been fine."

Seeing that the skinny monkey in his youth had now grown into a lady, Gu Xun was filled with emotion, but he still couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.

Unfortunately, facing Ayan, who has now grown taller, even Gu Xun had to raise his hand slightly to touch her head.

"Good boy, this time your father and I finally found the right medicinal materials. Your disease will be completely cured soon." Gu Xun told Ayan about the Immortal Grass in a happy tone.

This time, Ayan, whose expression had always been calm, finally showed some ups and downs, and asked slightly surprised, "Really?"

"A coincidence, a coincidence that I didn't expect at all, but all in all it's a good thing." Gu Xun replied with a smile.

"Hmm..." Ayan nodded her head gently, looking at Gu Xun with admiration in her eyes. She knew in her heart that it was a coincidence, and it might not be that easy to get this medicine.

She had asked Gu Xun about her condition before, and she also knew about the existence of immortal grass. Naturally, she knew how precious this herb that didn't sound like it should be in the world would be.

But it's because she doesn't understand her father's strength. It's difficult for others to fight that sand beast, but for Gu Xun, that's it.

But then the Demon God of Fighting Soldiers did get a little hurt... not only hurt, but also sad.

Gu Xun's hand gently stroked Ayan's head and then took it back. After all, the child was older and he felt that it was not appropriate to continue doing this kind of action.

He warned with a smile, "After you recover from your illness, remember to eat more. It's not good to be so thin all the time."

In response to Gu Xun's words, Ayan just pursed his lips and smiled without responding.

The issue of food intake has been discussed between father and daughter once or twice.

In fact, her current physical condition will not affect her eating at all. She just has a small appetite, but Gu Xun still can't understand this, so he wants her to eat more.

Feeling that there was nothing more to talk about with his daughter, Gu Xun had no choice but to end the chat, "Okay, you can play by yourself, I'll go see your sister."

As soon as Gu Xun opened his legs, Ayan said, "Father, doesn't he know that Qianlong is not in Xianyang now?"

"Huh?" Gu Xun frowned, turned his face and asked, "Where did she go again?"

"I was taken to Jinghu Medical Village by Sister Rong." Ayan replied with a slight smile.

Qiantaki is different from her. He is born with a docile and pleasant temperament. He is smart but shallow-minded. He is obedient but also has his own ideas. He likes to be quiet but is not completely immobile. He occasionally leaves Xianyang to go out and play.

Besides her mother, the person closest to her is Duan Murong, who is cold on the outside and soft on the inside. Sometimes even her father, Gu Xun, has to take a back seat.

Hearing Ayan's answer, Gu Xun was not surprised. He touched his chin and said, "She was abducted by Duan Murong again... Doesn't she even want me as her father?"

"Haha, Qianlong just left with Sister Rong because he got impatient with you." Ayan pursed his lips and smiled.

Gu Xun rubbed his forehead helplessly, "I've only been away for a few days...forget it, just go and have fun, it's better than staying at home all the time."

When he said this, Gu Xun's eyes kept glancing at a certain home girl.

However, Ayan didn't squint his eyes, as if he couldn't see Gu Xun's eyes, and didn't respond at all.

The otaku girl eats your family... so what if she eats it!

Seeing that she didn't answer and didn't care, Gu Xun asked again, "Are they just the two of them?"

Yan Lingji and Hong Lian, the two restless eldest ladies, often ran out to have fun, and Jinghu Medical Village would occasionally become their destination.

But compared to Qianlong who could provide help to Duan Murong, the two of them were just there to cause trouble for others.

Ayan thought for a moment and replied, "There should be no one else, but Aci was also taken away."

"Aci..." Gu Xun couldn't help but laugh, "He has almost become you and Qianlong's personal bodyguard."

He is obviously the oldest brother, but he is forced to be his younger brother by Ayan. He happily acts as a follower all day long, either by Ayan's side or by Qianlong's side.

However, neither Gu Xun nor Xuan Jian interfered too much in the relationship between the children.

A Ci was born with a low level of intelligence, so it was pointless to force him to be an older brother or sister. Moreover, A Yan was the one who took care of him every day, so it was not an exaggeration to think of him as a sister.

Gu Xun and Nianduan worked together to study the child's illness for several years, but still had no clue.

For this area of ​​the human brain, even the two of them are powerless.

Serious medical methods could not help, so Gu Xun could only find another way to provide all-round supplements to the child since childhood, eating various foods that could and might supplement the brain, trying to make up for it.

It's a pity that his intellectual defects have never been corrected, and his head is getting bigger and bigger...

Oh, and my body is getting rounder and rounder as I eat more.

I have to say that this kind of food is quite rich in oil and water, and this kid has a big appetite.
