Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 676 Unequal Transaction
  After giving Fu Su some guidance on checking for leaks and filling in the gaps, Gu Xun stopped procrastinating and began to prepare to leave for Shu County.

But at this time, Prince Yan, who had been holding back for half a year in Xianyang, finally couldn't sit still.

The Mo family had almost made preparations to rescue him and leave Xianyang, and the escape route had been arranged - eastward along Danshui, passing through Nanyang County of Qin State and entering the territory of Chu State.

Although the State of Chu was not the territory of Prince Yan, it was one of the activities areas of the Mo family. The headquarters city was also located in the State of Chu, so he could rush back to Jidu as quickly and easily as possible.

The biggest problem now is that as a proton, he cannot run around and his range of activities is limited.

Without special reasons, the most he can do is wander around the outskirts of Xianyang, no more than a few dozen miles away. However, this distance is not safe enough. The Mohist family cannot send enough disciples to lurk so close to Xianyang. .

A small amount is fine, but Yan Dan is monitored and controlled by both Luo Wang and the Yin Yang family almost all the time. If there are not enough disciples, there will not be enough to watch.

He was afraid that he would be caught before he even ran out dozens of miles away.

Therefore, he needs forces outside the Mo family to take him to at least escape from the Lantian area, far enough away from Xianyang. Then the Moh family can send enough response personnel to take him to continue to escape until he completely leaves Qin.

Needless to say, this extra power is naturally provided by Gu Xun and Yan Fei.

Among them, Yan Dan definitely pays more attention to Gu Xun.

Of course, in order to discuss this matter, Gu Xun once again received an invitation from Yan Dan.

But this time it was a secret invitation, because if it were an open invitation, it would be a bit eye-catching and could easily attract unnecessary attention.

At the same time, it can also be used to initially test Gu Xun’s sincerity for this cooperation.

Of course, this invitation is said to be secret. As for whether it is secret enough, there is a question mark.

Gu Xun naturally did not refuse and accepted the invitation.

It's hard for Yan Dan, because he even opened a secret room in his small mansion.

The meeting between the two naturally took place in this secret room.

"Why, today...Miss Feiyan is not here?" Gu Xun arrived at the place, looked around and found that Yan Dan was the only one, and asked curiously.

Yan Dan replied with a smile, "She's not here."

"I invited Miss Feiyan to come over to discuss it, but she said she was busy with something and had no time to be distracted, so she asked me to talk to the Imperial Master first."

"Oh..." Gu Xun nodded in understanding.

This woman probably doesn't know what's wrong with her...

"National Master, please take a seat first." After Feiyan explained the situation, Yan Dan quickly stretched out his hand to signal Gu Xun to take a seat.

The space of this secret room is not very big, so it is naturally impossible to place multiple tables like a banquet hall, so the seats are only around a square table.

Gu Xun sat cross-legged directly opposite Yan Dan and went straight to the point, "His Royal Highness Prince Dan asked me to meet here. I don't know why?"

Yan Dan smiled slightly and asked, "I don't know what happened with the Imperial Master last time. What is the Imperial Master's intention?"

"My opinion...haven't I told you a long time ago? Regarding Canglong Qisu, as long as you can get enough chips, I will help you." Gu Xun replied without thinking. He had already made this requirement clear and clear, and he had no intention of discounting it.

The seller's market is so arrogant. It depends on whether Yan Dan is willing to pay for his own life.

Seeing that Gu Xun had no intention of letting go, Yan Dan gritted his teeth and tried to bargain, "National Master, as long as Dan returns to Jidu, he will definitely fulfill the conditions he promised you before, including the copper box, and he will never breach the contract or break his promise. .”

"I can ask Senior Six-Fingered Black Man, a giant of the Mo family, to vouch for me. What do you think?"

Gu Xun shook his head unmoved, "I don't think so."

"I can trust the Six-fingered Black Man, but I'm not interested in guaranteeing this kind of thing." Gu Xun leaned back slightly, hugged his chest with both hands, and insisted on the condition without letting go, "Still the same condition, it depends on the Prince Pill Your Highness, are you willing to make this deal?"

"..." Yan Dan was silent for a long time, and finally he could only sigh.

In fact, he also knew that the chance of persuading Gu Xun was low. After all, it was impossible for him to take a step back while taking the initiative, unless there were greater benefits in exchange.

"I agree to the conditions of the Imperial Master..."

"Very good, then please give His Royal Highness the 'remuneration'."

What Gu Xun requested was information about Canglong Qisu, but he wanted Yan Dan to tell him what information he knew, and it was up to Gu Xun to judge whether it was enough to move him.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Yan Dan was asked to tell everything he knew.

Of course, he could try to hide it, but he would have to bear the risk of not saying enough and causing Gu Xun to reject the deal.

"Alas..." Yan Dan sighed again. He was not in a hurry to talk about Canglong Qisu. Instead, he asked, "National Master, how can you guarantee that you will not tear up this deal after getting the information? From me, How about taking away this information for nothing?"

Gu Xun spread his hands and replied indifferently, "I can only say that when I do business, I always put my sincerity first. As long as the intended transaction is reached, unless the other party has a wrong idea first, I will never do it." Breaking the contract without reason.”

"As for the guarantee... there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. If His Highness Prince Dan cannot accept it, he can terminate this transaction at any time."

"Hehehe..." Yan Dan couldn't help but let out a few bitter laughs, and he was also a little dizzy.

As a Daozu, how could he be qualified to negotiate any conditions now?

He couldn't negotiate the price, and the so-called guarantee was certainly out of the question.

Then, he said nothing else and directly explained what he knew about Canglong Qisu. In fact, it was mainly related to the copper box.

"According to what my father told me, Canglong Qisu is a secret that has been hidden for thousands of years. Its loss seems to be related to the Yin and Shang dynasties, and the establishment of the Zhou dynasty seems to have something to do with it. However, the Zhou royal family did not Can completely obtain Canglong Qisu."

"After King Wu conquered Zhou and established the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou royal family was still pursuing Canglong Qisu, but it seemed that they had never really succeeded."

"Later on, when the Zhou royal family declined, they were naturally even less able to take care of Canglong Qisu. The related secrets somehow fell into the hands of the vassal states, which is what we call the copper box today."

"According to the information passed down from generation to generation by the direct descendants of our royal family of the Yan Kingdom, the existence of the Seven Kingdoms Copper Box is far longer than the origin of Canglong Qisu. The appearance of these boxes is only within the past few hundred years, and it seems that they appeared in the past few hundred years. It’s not consistent, it’s early and it’s late.”

"Ever since my father made me the crown prince, he told me all the information about the copper box and handed it to me as well. However, over the years, I have never been able to open the box."
