Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 473 Jidu
  Unexpectedly, there was no need for Ying Zheng to waste time. The Moon God himself took the initiative to dissuade him and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be anxious. You can leave the matters in Shu alone for now."

"Huh?" Ying Zheng snorted, and his eyes focused on Yueshen again, adding another three points of pressure out of thin air.

Luna's expression was slightly condensed, but her tone remained calm and calm, and she answered unhurriedly:
  "The matter of the Fuso Sacred Tree and the Three-Legged Golden Crow can be left to the end. Before that, there are other needs."

"Say!"

"A person, a... woman."

"Who?"

"The granddaughter of the former great general Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Li." Yue Shen immediately answered the question without thinking.

Ying Zheng didn't even move an eyelid. He didn't care about Gongsun Li's identity. Gongsun Yu, the general, had died in the hands of his Qin army. What's more, for an orphan, the only important thing was... where he was.

Of course, he would not ask Luna this question because there was no need.

"I know." Ying Zheng replied the last sentence, closed his eyes, then raised his hand and waved it slightly, indicating that Luna could leave.

Moon God didn't say anything more. Regardless of whether people could see it or not, he bowed to Ying Zheng, who had his eyes closed in deep thought, and then turned around and left.

Returning to the Yan Kingdom again, in a secluded residence in Jidu City, the central figure at the end of the conversation between Ying Zheng and Yueshen, Gongsun Li, lives here.

At that time, Weiguo was still alive and well, and his master, General Gongsun Yu of Weiguo, was still alive. He had a free and uninhibited nature and a sense of justice, so he had some contact with the Mohist family.

Later, the Qin army attacked the guards, Puyang City was destroyed, and Gongsun Yu died in battle. He fled alone with his junior sister Gongsun Li, but he was targeted by the net again and was in danger several times. Fortunately, he finally got the help of the Six-fingered Black Man, so He joined the Mo family, and since then, his main scope of activities has been within the Yan Kingdom. Of course, Gongsun Li also followed him to the Yan Kingdom.

However, compared to Jing Ke who was like a prodigal son and couldn't rest, Gongsun Li was much more stable and didn't like wandering around, so he settled down in Jidu. However, Jing Ke wandered around all year round, and he also got together with his childhood sweetheart, his junior sister. Less and more.

At this time, Gongsun Li was happy because Jing Ke had come back, but she didn't know that she was inexplicably being targeted by the Qin State thousands of miles away.

………………

Time flies by and the season officially enters winter. Everything dies and life disappears. Plants turn into weeds on the ground, waiting to be buried in the ground to rot and fester before turning into life again. Animals hide in caves and endure hardships. In the cold winter, waiting for spring to return to the earth and all things to revive, even the people who claim to be the spiritual beings of all things are rarely seen.

In this era, few people travel far, not to mention this winter. With the warmth of ordinary carriages, people are afraid of freezing to death, so there is only silence on the road.

However, being rare is not impossible. Some people have to go even though they don't want to rush at this time, such as Yan Taizi Dan. Some people are not afraid of the severe cold at all, but instead appreciate the silence and coldness, such as Gu Xun.

In accordance with Qin's request, Yan Dan honestly embarked on the journey to Xianyang, and Gu Xun and the others also arrived at Jidu within the expected time.

Just like the scene in Handan at that time, Gu Xun's arrival once again attracted the attention of most of the forces in Jidu, well...actually, there were only two main ones.

The first one to bear the brunt was naturally the Momen of Baijia Xianxue. Six-fingered Black Man got the news even before Gu Xun arrived. In addition, there is Yan Chunjun, the younger brother of King Xi of Yan and the most powerful monarch of Yan State. He used to assist King Xi of Yan in handling government affairs with Prince Dan of Yan. Now without Yan Dan's check and balance, his power is becoming more and more powerful. , but unlike South Korea, where the power of General Ji Wuye was already feared by King An of Han, King Yan of Yan had been in power for many years, and there had never been any powerful ministers who could dominate the sky. All the power belonged to him alone. Whether it's Chunjun or Prince Dan, he chose to delegate power to others, but he can take back this power at any time if he wants.

Although he was not considered a powerful official, Yan Chunjun relied on his position in front of King Xi of Yan to successfully hook up with Luo Weng and became Luo Wen's biggest partner in the Yan Kingdom.

But to be honest, Luo Wang really didn’t pay much attention to the Yan State, and he didn’t even pay as much attention to it as South Korea, because the Yan State was one of the last countries among Qin’s strategic goals. It was located in a remote location and its national power was weak, so it had no way to resist Qin. The country's capabilities only need to be planted to ensure that Yan does not secretly participate in any conspiracy to conquer Qin.

In addition, the Mo family's power here is too strong, so Luo Wang has to stay away.

Apart from these two forces, there are basically no forces in Jidu that are qualified to contact Gu Xun's level. In the final analysis, the Moh family is too prominent here.

Oh, I almost forgot, there is another force that is qualified to know, and that is King Yan himself. As the king of a country, he should naturally know about major changes in the city, especially when dangerous elements like Gu Xun enter the city.

However, there is no such thing as a spy organization these days, and the royal power's eyes and ears are actually very closed, not to mention things outside the capital, that is, things outside the palace. If someone deliberately conceals it, there is no chance that the king can be kept secret for ten or eight years. contained.

Just like King Yan was deceived by his own brother, the power is in his hands, but if the person holding the power cannot truly exert its effectiveness, it is just an illusion.

There's no negotiation for lying to you!
  Unfortunately, the news about Gu Xun was concealed by Yan Chunjun. The reason was naturally Luo Wang's instructions.

………………

Gu Xun drove the carriage slowly through Jicheng, casually browsing the scenery of Snow City in the North.

Today's temperature is basically swinging around zero, but it has not snowed yet, and there is no snow scene to see. However, this city gives people an invisible feeling of coldness, with its simple and old city walls and cold and white ground. , and everyone around them was wrapped in thick fur clothes, making people feel that they were already surrounded by snow.

Gu Xun and Yan Lingji should also change their clothes now. Although they are not afraid of the cold, there is no need to be too unconventional and have to wear spring and autumn clothes that are very different from ordinary people.

Gu Xun wore an extra large coat with a white base and black edges on top of his white robe, while Yan Lingji was still wearing a red fur coat.

The technology tree of this world also made Gu Xun very surprised, and he could actually make a fiery red fur coat.

However, he personally thought that this effect was caused by dyeing, but the clothes seller said that it was made of firefox fur that was rare in the far north, and he only had this one.

The fire fox is active in the coldest areas of Liaodong. It is born with a pair of flame-like red fur. Therefore, it is loved by women and is hunted in large numbers. In recent years, it has become increasingly rare and almost extinct. The above are all said by people who buy clothes. Gu Xun didn't really believe it, he just thought he was trying to raise the price.

Yan Lingji's dress cost a total of one hundred and twenty gold, which is equivalent to a pair of jade of the highest quality.

Gu Xun doesn't care about money, he just laments that no matter what era, women's money... won't talk about it.
