Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 919 Disaster Is Coming
  "So, why didn't you go for a walk with Chitaki?"

In Xianyang City, on the banks of the Weishui River, in the small courtyard where Concubine Yan lives, Gu Xun lazily slumped on a recliner, swaying and talking leisurely.

To this day, even though Qiantaki lives in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion most of the time, she still lives alone and rarely goes near the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

Gu Xun didn't dare to say anything about this. After all, as a scumbag, he could only be picked on, but he had no right to pick on others.

Concubine Yan, who was wearing a gorgeous gilt dress, glanced coldly at Gu Xun, who was comfortably basking in the sun, and replied in a calm tone, "It's inappropriate for me to get in there when we juniors are playing around together." .”

Gu Xun's face froze, he scratched his head and smiled, "Haha, junior... also... that's right."

Sometimes when interpersonal relationships become complicated, seniority inevitably becomes a confusing and confusing issue.

Duan Murong is relatively close to the Mo family, and the person with whom she has the best relationship is naturally Xue Nu, who is also a woman and is also related to Gu Xun.

However, after the two carefully discussed their birth dates, they found that Duanmu Rong was several months older than Xue Nu, so Xue Nu always called Duan Mu Rongrong sister...

Gu Xun and Nian Duan know each other as equals, and Duan Murong is naturally a generation behind him. Both A Yan and Qian Long call Duan Mu Rongrong sister.

Well... in short, we can only discuss things on their own terms.

Fortunately, in the past few years, Xue Nu, the core character with awkward seniority, has been deliberately avoiding Gu Xun. The two have never met, but it will be hard to say in the future...

Seeing Gu Xun's unnatural performance, Concubine Yan's narrow phoenix eyes flickered a few times, and she said meaningfully, "It seems that you encountered some interesting episodes during your trip to the west."

"Haha..." Gu Xun laughed a few times and replied confidently, "There are a lot of episodes, but they are not interesting. They should even be considered bad."

Concubine Yan walked up to Gu Xun and bent forward slightly. Even the loose and gorgeous palace skirt still showed some attractive curves because of this movement.

There was a hint of a smile on her lips, and she asked softly, "Really?"

Oops?

Based on her understanding of herself as a man, the worse the situation is, the more likely she will be inseparable from women.

I have to say that it is indeed true that a couple's love lasts a hundred days. The person next to you knows the person next to you.

Looking up at the scenery in the sky, Gu Xun touched his nose in embarrassment and changed the topic, "By the way, when you stayed at Yin Yang's house before, you really never heard or read about Loulan, the Demon God of War. Information like that?"

Concubine Yan curled her lips in disdain, but did not ask any further questions. She straightened her body again and went back to tending the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

She had no interest in asking about Gu Xun's affairs outside. It sounded like she was just trying to cause trouble for herself.

"I have said this several times, no!"

"But I learned another news recently."

Gu Xun clasped his hands on his abdomen, narrowed his eyes, and directly told the news that Concubine Yan mentioned in a low voice.

"Meng Tian will report on his duties when he returns home, right?"

Concubine Yan nodded calmly, not surprised that Gu Xun guessed what she was going to say.

Beidi is now the most important base of Liusha. As the highest military and political officer in the area, Meng Tian must grasp his movements as soon as possible.

"You should know that it is not easy for the First Emperor to call Meng Tian back." Although she knew that Gu Xun didn't need it, Concubine Yan still reminded her.

Gu Xun didn't respond, just nodded.

It was common for Meng Tian to return to the capital to report on his duties. Even if Ying Zheng trusted him again, he couldn't just leave him in the north and ignore him for several years. Otherwise, wouldn't he be waiting for others to rebel?

However, it was not time yet, and Ying Zheng hurriedly left Meng Tian and returned to the capital. It was definitely not for a routine work report, but because he had other more important matters. So what would happen that would require Ying Zheng to go out of his way to bring his beloved back from the border?

The most straightforward and brainless guess is that Meng Tian intends to rebel, and Ying Zheng wants to deal with him.

But this is obviously impossible.

Apart from this, there are not many things that Ying Zheng needs to find Meng Tian to do specifically.

The empire is basically calm now. Although there are many anti-Qin forces, they are all dormant and recuperating, waiting for the opportunity. There is no need to specially transfer the important general Meng Tian back to Guanzhong.

In other words, what Ying Zheng really needs is most likely not Meng Tian's excellent ability.

If we exclude this point, the most likely possibility is that Ying Zheng needs a confidant whom he trusts enough to work for him in the future.

This matter is either very important and cannot allow any mistakes, or it is very sensitive and cannot allow any news to be spread.

Of course, it may be both, or it should be said that this is the most likely possibility.

"Where is Shushan...what are you going to do?" Concubine Yan asked directly.

That's right, when Ying Zheng recalls Meng Tian, ​​the most likely target is the Fuso tree in Shu Mountain.

This matter must be guaranteed to be foolproof, and... it must be as secretive as possible.

Although His Majesty the First Emperor's life ideal of pursuing immortality has been widely sung throughout the world...

Gu Xun closed his eyes completely and replied in a lazy tone, "Do nothing."

"No matter what? Where is your... confidante?" Concubine Yan asked with a half-smile.

Gu Xun's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he reminded her in as calm a tone as possible, "They are married and have a daughter."

"So what, who isn't?" Concubine Yan said to Gu Xun lightly, using a tone full of contradictions that was both dignified and frivolous.

She is the mother of a child, and so is she. Besides, even if she doesn't meet the requirements, Amazing Salamander does, right?
  Gu Xun sighed helplessly, opened his eyes and added, "My husband is still alive and well!"

"I don't care, just because I promised Ying Zheng not to interfere with his actions."

"As for what fate Shushan will face...it's not my turn to care."

What could he do?

Ying Zheng wants the Fusang tree, and he has promised not to stop it.

To save the people of Shushan?
  It's not difficult. Anyway, what Ying Zheng wants is just trees. If people leave the trees and leave them alone, it will be safe.

The problem is that people have to listen to him!
  It's not like I haven't tried to persuade him before. It's clear that he wants to live or die with the sacred tree, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Concubine Yan suppressed the smile on her face, stopped joking, and asked in a serious tone, "Are you really planning to sit idly by and ignore it?"

"Of course you can't go back on what you promised." Gu Xun replied in a low tone.

Concubine Yan turned her head and asked with complicated eyes, "What on earth are you thinking about?"

"You are obviously dissatisfied with what Ying Zheng is doing now, why do you always hold back and watch indifferently?"

"You won't tell me because you are loyal to the empire, right?"
