Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1013 Chen He’s Troubles

Regarding Gu Xun's words, Chen He could not completely guess his purpose, but one thing he could be sure of.

"So, sir, you deliberately allowed this conference to happen?"

"Ha!" Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled, but did not respond to this question.

This is of course the reason, but not all of it. However, there is no need to talk to Chen He about the part related to various factions.

Ignoring this question, Gu Xun followed the previous topic and asked Chen He, "Do you think the Six Kingdoms of Shandong are really dead?"

"..." Chen He didn't know how to answer. He had never cared about this question.

He didn't care about the so-called subjugation of the country, and he was very open-minded about the demise of the Qi State - the land of Qilu was still the land of Qilu, and the people of Linzi were still the people of Linzi. Except for the change of court, nothing was different.

After a moment of silence, Chen He could only tentatively reply with an answer that was inconsistent with reality but seemed very reasonable, "Not dead?"

"Dead!" Gu Xun showed a bright smile and unceremoniously rejected Chen He's answer, "It is true, it is true that the Six Kingdoms of Shandong are dead!"

"The king is dead or imprisoned, the imperial court has collapsed, and except for one name that many people are still thinking about, everything in the six countries of Shandong has turned into a passing cloud. If this is not considered destruction, then no one can think about unifying the world. ”

"But the name is the problem."

"Countless careerists hide in shadowed corners carefully arranged so that no one can find them, salivating over this title - after being deprived of their aristocratic status by the empire and reduced to common people in the Six Kingdoms Office, their interests are serious. There are remnants of the old nobility who are damaged and resentful, and there are even imperial nobles who are dissatisfied with their own benefits and long for further advancement."

"For these people, the name of Shandong Six Kingdoms is very important, very useful, and very needed."

"Since there is a need, then these 'mother countries' that have been effectively buried will naturally have the possibility of living again."

After listening to this passage, Chen He probably figured out something about it, nodded and said, "They need this name, and you, sir, need them to leave the shadows for this?"

"Ha!" Gu Xun stroked his hands and smiled, "Let me tell you, your boy is still savvy in this regard."

"These monsters and monsters hiding in the corner, none of them are worth mentioning alone, and they cannot be put on the stage. It can even be said that even if they are united, their strength is still not worthy of praise."

"But if you leave it alone, firstly, you never know when it will surprise you, and secondly, their existence itself is really a huge obstacle."

"Hindering the true unification of this land."

"Ying Zheng has always wanted to wipe out the demons and monsters in the Qing Yu, but unfortunately there are too many constraints. The opponent can't hide, and the empire has no spare power, so he has no choice but to put it aside."

Having said this, Gu Xun took a breath, twisted his waist, and changed to another comfortable position, and then continued, "I am telling you this not because I need you to do anything for me in this process."

"With your temper, you can't help much to be honest."

"I just want to ask you, do you want to see a Qi country appear again in the land of Qilu?"

“And, if so, how do you want it to come back and how do you want it to end?”

"..." Chen He frowned. After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head and said slowly, "I don't know."

"I don't want to get involved in this, and I have no intention of restoring the country... Maybe we should let the three Tian Dan brothers do whatever they want."

"Oh..." Gu Xun responded with a half-smile, noncommittal to Chen He's response, and expressed his final opinion on this matter, "Chen He, you are indeed keen on martial arts and don't like worldly things. But you are not one of those old Taoists from Tianzong, and you cannot be truly carefree, otherwise... I wouldn't talk to you about this topic today,"

"Where to go, you have to think about it yourself." "If there is anything you need help with, let me know."

Chen He's brows were still knitted together. It was obvious that Gu Xun was right and he couldn't ignore it.

But he really doesn't have much thoughts now. His head is muddled and full of threads. It feels like he has some thoughts, but unfortunately he can't sort them out for the time being.

He never expected that such an easy thing as coming here to reminisce about the past would actually involve such a troublesome thing...

The already troublesome whirlpool of Jianghu became even more difficult to escape when it became involved in court politics.

Just a little fun can lead to big trouble.

………………

The chat between Gu Xun and Chen He came to an end. Chen He, who had no idea yet, didn't bother with the problem and put it aside for the time being.

It's not too late to wait until the Anti-Qin Conference in Guan City begins in earnest.

Just when he was about to say goodbye to Gu Xun and leave, the two sisters Duan Murong and Xue Nu, who had been hiding in the house to discuss for a long time, appeared again.

The two of them were a little surprised when they saw Chen He who had arrived at the medical village at some unknown time, but that was all.

They had already learned the news about Chen He from Gai Nie Tianming before, and they had already made speculations in their minds, but at this time it was only confirmed.

Among the two women, Duan Murong and Chen He had never met each other before. They had only heard his name and knew that he was close to Gu Xun and that he was a sword master like herself.

However, Xue Nu and Chen He had met several times.

A real relationship - I only saw each other's face, but didn't say a word to each other.

Although the two of them are both masters of the Seven Swords, and they both know each other's identities,... what are their personalities?

We are all sword masters, just sword masters. According to Gu Xun's instructions, we should try not to fight among ourselves. As for other social activities... Sorry, I'm not interested.

Speaking of Chen He, unlike the calm mood of the two girls opposite him, when he saw the two people who appeared at the last moment, his already gloomy mood became even more unhappy.

He was about to leave, so why did someone come?

In just a few words at night, I left by myself...

Gu Xun looked at the three people and didn't pay much attention to them at first, but after glancing back and forth a few times, he suddenly laughed and said, "I ignored it before, but you three are all my chosen sword masters!"

"It is rare for the three swords to gather together."

The few sword masters selected by Gu Xun are very weakly related to each other. When two or two are put together, there are still many, but three or more are very rare.

However, according to Gu Xun's words, Chen He couldn't just run away regardless. He could only nod coldly towards Duan Murong and the other two, "I hope you'll forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting Chen He."

As the proprietor, although Duan Murong was not interested in socializing, she still responded with a sense of ownership, "You're welcome, Mr. Chen."

In this era of broken rites and broken music, Chen He, who was born in the Tianchen family, could barely deserve the title of 'gongzi'.
