Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 927 Entering Shu again
  Gu Xun tilted his head and looked at the dazzling beauty in front of him, and said helplessly, "It's not like there is no swing in the yard. Why are you always bothering with it? You're not afraid of burning this old locust tree. I managed to do it with great difficulty. Transplanted here.”

Yan Lingji controlled the flame swing to slowly stop, changing from the previous large swing to a gentle swing of no more than fifteen degrees. She curled her lips towards Gu Xun and said, "Hey, if you burn it, you won't be able to transplant another tree." come over!"

"Besides, didn't you, the shopkeeper, ask me to practice fire witchcraft more when I have nothing to do?" Yan Lingji showed a playful smile and didn't care about Gu Xun's attitude.

After so many years, no matter how close the relationship became, her name for Gu Xun never changed.

In her words, with so many people, there must be something different, right?
  "Okay, okay..." Gu Xun was too lazy to argue with her and casually changed the subject, "Why is it that you are the only one back, where is Honglian?"

"She..." Upon hearing Gu Xun's question about Honglian, Yan Lingji immediately acted indifferent and replied lazily, "Run to eat."

Gu Xun was used to her and Honglian falling in love and killing each other, so he had no reaction to her deliberate impatience. He followed her words and asked, "Why didn't you go get something to eat?"

"Hmph!" Yan Lingji raised her head proudly, "I'm not a greedy little girl!"

Then she looked excited and asked, "Shopkeeper, I heard that the empire is going to launch troops against Baiyue. Is it true?"

"Why, your hometown is going to be beaten, don't you feel happy?" Gu Xun deliberately teased.

In response to this, Yan Lingji just rolled her eyes and said, "The place where I was born has been occupied by the empire for a long time."

Yan Lingji was from the old Baiyue Kingdom, that is, the Dongou Kingdom. After the Qin State destroyed Chu, Wang Jian took the land with him and relocated it to Kuaiji County.

Gu Xun grinned and asked jokingly, "Then do you want to be a leader and help the empire attack Baiyue?"

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes again, "I don't have the interest, nor the ability. I can't compare with you, the Imperial Master."

"So?" Gu Xun spread his hands and asked innocently, blinking his eyes.

"I'm just asking. I plan to join in the fun and watch a show." Yan Lingji replied with a little excitement, "The arrogant emperor of the empire and the invincible imperial cavalry will be the ones you look down upon when the time comes. In the hands of the barbarians, the scene will definitely be... very interesting!"

"How about it, shopkeeper, are you coming?"

Gu Xun hugged his chest with both hands and asked with interest, "Are you so sure that the empire can't please you?"

"Hey! I am a serious Baiyue person, and my understanding of the place is not comparable to that of you Central Plains people." Yan Lingji put on a playful smile and showed off to Gu Xun, "Even if you are the shopkeeper, You are no exception."

"No matter how much business Liusha has with Baiyue, all you can see is the Baiyue tribe in a peaceful state. When the war actually breaks out, you will find that the Yue people at that time are completely different from you Central Plains people. different!"

Listening to Yan Lingji's answer, the corners of Gu Xun's mouth that was originally just a smile gradually raised, and the smile became brighter, "Are you worried that the empire will fail?"

"Ha!" Yan Lingji sneered angrily, "Does the life and death of the empire have anything to do with me?"

Gu Xun blinked, changed the topic abruptly, and said in a confused manner, "Liusha's business in Lingnan has almost come to an end. There is nothing left to influence."

Yan Lingji certainly doesn't care what happens to the empire, she is just worried about Quicksand's arrangement in Lingnan.

If the empire launches troops against Baiyue, Liusha's business will no longer be able to continue.

It would be fine if the empire succeeded in capturing Baiyue. The quicksand would be attached to the empire and there would always be something to be gained. But if the war failed, it would mean losing both the wife and the army, and it would be a total loss.

Yan Lingji was just reminding Gu Xun in her usual way.

Gu Xun naturally understood what she meant, but this girl was habitually harsh and didn't want to admit it. If she doesn't admit it, then she won't admit it. Gu Xun simply stopped asking and just gave her an answer to reassure her.

Yan Lingji swayed on the swing without saying a word, pretending she didn't hear Gu Xun's words.

Gu Xun didn't care. He grinned and said, "In a few days, I will follow Meng Tian into Sichuan. Do you want to go play?"

"Oh, I'm going to Shu again..." Yan Lingji fiddled with her dark hair and pondered, "Well, I'll tell you later whether to go or not."

Gu Xun was not surprised by this answer. She must have gone to discuss it with Honglian.

In the past few years, the state of Yan Lingji and Hong Lian has been rather... strange.

In his absence, the two of them would basically stick together. Although quarrels and even fights often occurred, they just wanted to get together and create a great atmosphere.

But if he is here in person, these two people rarely stay with him together, usually only one person is there.

So on this trip to Shu, either Yan Lingji and Hong Lian will not go, or only one person will go.

The specific plan will depend on the outcome of the discussion between the two.

………………

It was night, Gu Xun hugged Hong Lian, who looked lazy and groggy, and asked softly, "How is it? Have you reached the conclusion after discussing with Yan Lingji?"

Due to fatigue, her eyes were already closing and closing. Hong Lian, who was about to fall asleep, heard Gu Xun's voice and reluctantly opened her eyes. A smile appeared on her flushed face, "Hey, I won't go with you. You can find it." Someone else.”

The other person Honglian calls is actually Yan Lingji.

Although these two lovers have been together longer than anyone else, they never mention the other person's name properly.

Gu Xun looked at Hong Lian who was in a daze, with the corners of his mouth raised. He couldn't help but move up to kiss her, and then asked, "What, don't you want to go to Shu?"

Guren's eyes gradually closed again, and her voice became muffled. She reluctantly replied, "No, I promised Chitaki-chan that I would go to Mirror Lake to play with her."

"I'm her aunt, an elder, I can't break the promise..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep in a daze.

Looking at the child's soft and pretty face, Gu Xun smiled gently, held her in his arms, and changed into a more comfortable position.

………………

Gu Xun once again set foot on the road to Shu, but compared to the previous situation where there were only a few people or even just him, this time there were too many people accompanying him.

Meng Tian led 10,000 infantry and 3,000 golden fire cavalry, meandering along the stone ox road into Shu.

The huge team stretched into a long snake formation, walking twists and turns in the narrow valley. Meng Tian, ​​Gu Xun and other leaders naturally walked at the front of the team.

Under the handsome flag, the leader is naturally Meng Tian, ​​who is riding a tall horse and wearing a black heavy armor with yellow edges. Next to him is Gu Xun, who is dressed in white, as if he is going on an outing. Yan Lingji, who was immediately disgusted.
