Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 852 Longxi Border
  Wei Zhuang's pupils shrank slightly and he felt relieved.

So, are you paving the way for Fusu...

"Do you think Fusu can change the situation in Qin?"

"Ha..." Gu Xun shook his head and smiled, "Fu Su... of course he is unable to break the deadlock in Qin."

After saying this, Gu Xun smiled and asked Wei Zhuang, "Besides, do you think I need to go to the North just to let Fusu ascend to the throne of God?"

Wei Zhuang raised his eyes when he heard this and glanced at Gu Xun meaningfully.

Indeed, just for the throne, there is no need to move people out of Xianyang, or it should be said that staying in Xianyang is the safest.

So why did Gu Xun go around this circle specifically?

Gu Xun ignored Wei Zhuang's eyes and continued, "I understand Ying Zheng's thoughts fairly well. He has no intention of establishing a queen, nor does he value the so-called rules of establishing a direct descendant."

"As expected, the empire's second emperor will be chosen from among the current eighteen princes, and Fusu currently has the absolute advantage."

"Although Ying Zheng is dissatisfied with Fusu's character and thinks he is not like himself, he knows Fusu's abilities well."

"It can be said that none of Fusu's younger brothers are outstanding. Regardless of whether they are compared horizontally or vertically, Fusu is the most outstanding."

"Although Ying Zheng's favorite is the youngest eighteenth son Hu Hai, he can clearly distinguish what is doting and what is valued. When he has to make a choice, he will naturally choose the most suitable person."

After Wei Zhuang listened to this analysis, he summed it up in four words - the throne is stable!
  and so……

"What do you want to do?" Wei Zhuang leaned back slightly, his magnetic voice mixed with playfulness.

Gu Xun crossed his hands, lowered his eyes, and replied in a deep voice, "Fusu...can't directly ascend to the throne of God, which is meaningless."

After Wei Zhuang heard this, he immediately lowered his eyes.

There are only two ways to obtain the throne, either by inheriting it from the previous one normally, or... by taking it in a coup.

The meaning of Gu Xun's words is self-evident.

Wei Zhuang didn't quite understand the purpose of Gu Xun's move. He could only vaguely grasp that the other party was trying to break the shackles of the Qin State. However, as a contemporary, the limitations of the times still prevented him from fully seeing through everything.

Gu Xun didn't explain it carefully to him.

As a person of later generations, Gu Xun, even with only a superficial knowledge of history, understood that the best way to break the solidified class was to destroy everything and start over.

But Wei Zhuang is different. Even if he knows Gu Xun's plan, he may not be able to understand everything clearly.

This is a generation gap created over more than two thousand years, and it cannot be explained clearly in simple words.

This is a gap in cognitive experience, not something that intelligence or talent can fill.

After the two were silent for a long time, Gu Xun finally said, "On your trip to Longxi, remember to take Bai Feng with you."

"Most of the Western Regions are deserts, and travel is inconvenient. Even if Gong Shuqiuhui prepares in advance, accidents may happen. It will be safer with him."

Wei Zhuang did not refuse and nodded silently.

The two ended their conversation.

……………… Da Qin, Longxi County, a border town in the far west.

This small town is small in size, with a population of thousands. It doesn't even have city walls. It is just a gathering place of connected houses and buildings. It is named Fengsha Town because it is close to the desert of the Western Regions and is filled with wind and sand all year round.

But in fact, no one cares about the name of the town. Outsiders basically don’t come here, and locals don’t use it.

And this small town is the first destination for Gong Shuqiu and his party.

After nearly a month of preparation, with the help of the Western Chi Road that leads directly to Longxi, Gongshuqiu, the Yinyang family, and Liusha rushed to Fengsha Town on the western border of the empire in just five days. They were escorted by three others. More than a thousand Anxi soldiers.

The Anxi Town Army was the Qin State's most elite infantry unit responsible for guarding the Hexi area over the years to guard against wolf attacks.

This time, Ying Zheng specially dispatched an Anxi suppressing army for the sake of the Demon God of War, which shows how seriously he attaches importance to it.

However, the soldiers were elite, but the generals leading the troops were a little unreliable. They were so big and round, with their bellies in the sky, and they even had the nickname Fruit General.

However, this person is from Lao Qin, and his ancestors have served in the Anxi Army for generations. He has no fault in his merit, qualifications and background. As for his specific abilities... we can only look at it next.

Anyway, for now, Gong Shuqiu doesn't have any big problems.

On the mound outside Fengsha Town, three thousand Anxi soldiers lined up in an orderly manner. At the front, there were Gongshu Qiu and Wei Zhuang riding horses side by side.

Behind them are the Four Heavenly Kings of Liusha, who have their own distinctive looks, but are all beginning to take on human form, and two pretty beauties who are as beautiful as flowers, but completely different from Liusha's human style - Siming, the eldest son of the Yin-Yang family.

At the same time, a bird shadow was faintly visible on the sky, and the white phoenix was nearby.

Wei Zhuang held the sheathed shark-tooth sword in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the small town in the yellow sand not far away, "Is this where the clue you mentioned is located?"

Gong Shuqiu smiled flatteringly at the side, and replied in a flattering tone, "Lord Wei Zhuang, this is the place."

"It is said that the location of the ancient Loulan country is hidden under the yellow sand in the Western Regions. There is no way to trace it. Only Loulan people know the specific location. I happened to track down a Loulan person and he was hiding in this small town."

"As long as we catch the person, and then the masters of the Yin-Yang family can use the Yin-Yang mind-reading skills, we can figure out the location of Loulan Kingdom."

Wei Zhuang nodded coldly, "You can just go and handle the matter of arresting people. I think so many people should be enough for you."

Gongshu Qiu nodded hurriedly and responded, "I can just handle these small matters. Lord Wei Zhuang can take a rest first."

Wei Zhuang twisted his neck slightly, raised the corner of his mouth with a cold arc, and said in a deep voice, "Haha, I still have my own things to do."

After saying that, Wei Zhuang pulled the reins and left the large army without waiting for Gong Shuqiu's response, and the Four Heavenly Kings of Quicksand followed him.

Gong Shuqiu didn't dare to have any objections and just watched the people in Liusha leave.

He also knew who the main target of Wei Zhuang's trip was, so he didn't put any hope in handing over matters unrelated to Gai Nie to Wei Zhuang. Anyway, having people from the Yin Yang family was enough.

As for why he was so polite to Wei Zhuang... it was mainly because of his heart.

This old guy only has the demeanor of a master of the machine arts when it comes to the machine arts or the Mohist family...or rather has a stubborn and unruly temper. Other than that, he is a very conscientious little old man.

Of course he did not dare to be disrespectful to Wei Zhuang, the murderous leader in the world. If he was killed by the other party with a sword, who would he talk to to reason with him?
  Not to mention that he is a master of machine arts that the empire relies on. The Counter-Liquid Sand Killers don't recognize this, and it's not like he hasn't taken orders from imperial officials.

To put it bluntly, my life is my own. I don’t dare to die because I am waiting for the humiliation of the Mo family and the Yixue family for a hundred years.
