Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 550 The Wanted Issue

Over the years, Master Ban has been studying and improving the Suzaku mechanism, trying to solve the problem of people being unable to bear the cold wind in winter. Unfortunately, the progress has not been smooth.

Add a windshield outside the Suzaku mechanism. If the wind resistance is too great, it will not be able to fly. If the Suzaku's body is enlarged so that people can hide inside it, it will be inconvenient to drive and it will easily crash. It doesn't work either vertically or horizontally.

He is trying to combine the two solutions to find a more suitable method, but there is no good idea yet.

To put it simply, I have to keep going like this for the time being...

………………

Gu Xun and Yan Lingji found a place to stay. After settling down, they were not in a hurry to rest. Instead, they left the inn and headed straight for the river.

The reason is that Gu Xun wanted to go on a rafting trip... The river, although the waterway is a bit narrow and can't see much beautiful water scenery, but the main thing is to experience the artistic conception - sitting alone in a boat, going down with the water, both sides of the river. It is an artistic conception where the bustling crowds, the atmosphere of the city and the natural scenery meet.

Yan Lingji was not very interested in this kind of thing, but seeing that Gu Xun was very interested, she followed her.

It didn't take much effort for the two of them to find a boatman to take on this kind of business. Obviously Guxun was not the only one who would do this. Boating on the river was already a mature business activity in Shouchun.

Instead of hiring, Gu Xun directly bought the boat from the boatman. He was not short of money, and he didn't need a boatman to row the boat. Why bother to have an eyesore next to him when he was sightseeing?

The river cruise business is indeed developing well. The boat is not big, just a awning boat with a small shed, but it is well equipped with everything. There are tables and tables in the shed, as well as fishing equipment for tourists to relax. , there is also a small tea stove for heating and boiling water.

Gu Xun was not interested in fishing. It was almost time to have lunch, so he went to a restaurant to order a few dishes and brought them to the boat. He also made some rice wine suitable for drinking warm, and he and Yan Lingji ate and drank while swimming on the river.

As for the movement of the ship... He can control the sword, and of course he can control the ship. The latter is easier, as it is supported by the water and does not need to fly. However, it would be difficult to control the ship by flying.

Probably because there are many rivers and abundant aquatic products, several of the special dishes in the restaurant Gu looked for were fish. Yan Lingji was not interested in this and was not very hungry, so she simply drank a few more sips of wine. .

"Hmm... This wine tastes similar to your lover's orchid wine, but it doesn't have such a mellow aftertaste, and it's not as spicy as the one I drank in Yan State before."

Gu Xun picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the warm wine, "Oh, people in the Central Plains region mostly drink this kind of mild wine, which is not too intoxicating and worth remembering. In the North, due to the weather, it is naturally the most exciting. Men’s spirits are welcome.”

Yan Lingji dropped her tea cup, looked at Gu Xun with a smile, and asked in a breathy tone, "What kind of wine does the shopkeeper prefer?"

"Me?" Gu Xun raised his eyebrows while holding the wine glass, "I probably prefer this kind of soft bar. Too strong wine is not suitable for me."

"Really? I thought you men would prefer spirits." Yan Lingji pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes curved into an arc, and she replied cheerfully.

Gu Xun shrugged, "Except for the two very purposeful reasons of keeping warm and getting drunk, most people drink spirits just for the spicy taste. It doesn't mean anything to me. I can't get drunk. I won’t be affected by this stimulation, so I might as well drink some wine with a fuller aftertaste.”

"Hey! That's right. You're not drunk at all. It's just a waste of wine..." Yan Lingji curled her lips, poured herself another glass of wine, and said with disgust.

Gu Xun smiled and did not argue. What Yan Lingji said was true. It is indeed a waste for people who are not drunk to drink. After all, they are all made from grain, so he drinks tea most of the time. While drinking and eating, he looked out along the opening of the boat canopy. Due to the obstruction of his sight, even Gu Xun could only see the not-so-wide river. As for the situation on both sides, he mainly relied on listening.

Sitting in the boat canopy, drinking hot wine and listening to the voices of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is actually a good feeling. However, the temperature is not particularly warm now, and not many people are willing to run out, so Shouchun City is actually quite lonely. Gu Xunsuo All that could be heard were scattered human voices, and the artistic conception was not up to the ideal level.

But it doesn't matter, he has never been a person who likes excitement, well... the exception is the excitement of people in the world.

"Shopkeeper..." Yan Lingji said at this time, "After Daliang, we should go back to Xianyang, right?"

"Otherwise, do you have other ideas?" Gu Xun turned his attention away from the sparkling water created by the boat, turned his head and looked at Yan Lingji and asked, "Ah... yes, I almost forgot, To the southeast of Chu State is the former Kingdom of Baiyue, do you want to go back and have a look?"

"...I don't want to." Yan Lingji rubbed her wine glass with her fingers and shook her head slowly.

Gu Xun looked at her expression, and it didn't look like she was forcing herself to say something sarcastic. She probably really didn't intend to go back and take a look.

"What's wrong? That's your hometown after all. Why don't you want to go back?" Gu Xun asked with concern.

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes and rolled her eyes at him, "Shopkeeper, sometimes you can think about things so thoroughly, how come you sometimes can't figure it out at all?"

"Huh?" Gu Xun frowned. Before he could think deeply, Yan Lingji started to explain.

"I joined when I was a teenager... In the words of Han and Chu, it should be called a rebel army. I fought with the Baiyue royal family and the Han and Chu coalition forces. Do you think that is something worth remembering?"

"My hometown... It's my hometown, yes, but I have no relatives for a long time, and there is nothing worth remembering."

"What's more, Baiyue is now nominally the territory of the Chu State, and I'm still their wanted criminal. Why do I go back?"

Yan Lingji's tone was very calm when she said these words, completely different from her usual lively and enchanting self, but she couldn't say how sad she was.

"..." Gu Xun's eyes swayed, but he forgot to consider this... This is also because he has never experienced this kind of thing, and has no similar feelings. He is very attached to his homeland. Even if he has traveled twice, he has never been there. Today, I still occasionally think about the past.

However, he did not say any words of comfort. He had not suffered from others, had no empathy, and had nothing to say. He just replied, "He is no longer a wanted criminal."

"Ah?" Yan Lingji was a little stunned, and she didn't realize what Gu Xun meant.

Seeing this, Gu Xun elaborated again, "You are no longer a wanted criminal in Chu State."

"Even if you don't take my own strength into account, just to take care of the face of me, the Qin State's national master, it is impossible for the Chu State to want you, who is closely related to me, anymore."

After hearing the explanation, Yan Lingji was still a little surprised, "That's it? I'm not wanted anymore?"
