Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 930 Snow Girl’s Hope
  After the implementation plan was basically decided, Han Fei took a sip of wine and said with a happy face:

"Your Highness, the first preparation we need to make now is to ask Brother Gu what he means."

"Teacher?" Fusu frowned when he heard this, rolled his eyes, picked up the letter again and read it, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

When Han Fei saw Fusu's performance, he became more and more satisfied with him. "It seems that the young master must have seen the problem."

"Although Brother Gu didn't express his attitude clearly between the lines, it can be roughly seen from the fact that he just asked us to inquire about information that he is relatively... restrained now."

"He doesn't show much aggression towards the wolves at the moment, which is not in line with his usual style."

"To be honest, I'm not sure what he's thinking right now, so... it's best to ask first." Han Fei took another sip of wine, blinked comfortably, and added, "Although I think The chances of him disagreeing with this plan are slim to none.”

Fusu nodded, "Without further delay, please ask the teacher for instructions as soon as possible. I hope all plans can be launched as soon as possible."

Han Fei nodded in understanding and murmured back, "Yeah, hurry up..."

Fusu's eyes were lowered at this time, the expression on his face was unclear, and there was a hint of haze.

Being outside the capital, he felt even more clearly that the empire was in turmoil at this time, and that it was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

The world was finally settled, the six kingdoms were about to be destroyed, and the people everywhere had not yet returned home. However, the imperial court did not make any gentle and appeasing measures. Instead, it repeatedly launched wars. In just a few years, millions of people and brave men were mobilized...

Fusu knew very well that the key to the problem was not how much manpower and material resources the empire consumed, but that with such days in sight, the people would become increasingly desperate.

If this continues, one day all conflicts will break out and turn into an all-devouring torrent, destroying the empire.

Although Fusu had roughly grasped some of what his teacher really wanted to do at this time, he was not willing to see the empire fall into that state unless it was really at the end of its rope.

No matter what, he must continue the existence of the empire as much as possible, even though... he may not be able to change anything.

Time was a rare thing to him now, and he couldn't waste any of it.

………………

Empire, at the junction of Sichuan County and Jiujiang County, in the rolling mountains beside the Huaihe River, there is the headquarters of the Mohist family.

At a time when the empire is powerful in all directions and all anti-Qin forces are hiding and dormant, the Mohist government city is undoubtedly the safest base among all anti-Qin forces.

After receiving the urgent news from Xue Nu, the Mo family leader who had been traveling around all this time still squeezed out time and rushed back to the government city to see her.

In a quiet room in the city, only Xue Nu and the Mohist giant were sitting in attendance.

The giant of the Mohist family...that is, Yan Dan, after listening to Xue Nu's brief description of the entire trip to Loulan, he let out a heavy breath and said, "I didn't expect that I thought it was just a small move, but it involved such an important thing... God of War, it’s a good thing that the empire was defeated, otherwise it wouldn’t have caused such a turmoil.”

"Thank you for your hard work on this trip, Snow Girl."

"It's nothing." Xue Nu shook her head sadly, and then said hesitantly, "But, where is Gu Xun..."

Hearing Gu Xun's name, Yan Dan's face, hidden behind the black gauze of her bamboo hat, couldn't help but turn ugly, "He... is really a trouble!"

"Juzi...I..." Xue Nu hesitated in her words, wanting to say something but not being able to.

Seeing this, Yan Dan waved his hands slightly and suggested, "Just say what you have to say, don't worry about it." "I just want to ask..." Seeing Yan Dan say this, Xue Nu no longer hesitated and said frankly, "Now Qin's atrocities , all due to Yingzheng alone. If the empire changes emperors, such as the eldest son Fusu, can the current situation be changed?"

"Fusu...hehe." As soon as Yan Dan heard this, he knew what Xue Nu was thinking.

After so many years, he was somewhat aware of Yuki-onna's ambivalent attitude toward Gu Xun, and he also understood why Yuki-onna would bring up this issue at this moment.

"Fusu is a generous and kind man. He has been guarding Shangjun for many years and the people's livelihood is peaceful. His abilities and virtues are of the highest quality. If he ascends the throne as emperor, the current tense situation in the empire will inevitably be alleviated, and the attitudes of various anti-Qin forces will also be improved. Different changes." Yan Dan did not challenge Xue Nu's thoughts, but answered her question matter-of-factly, "But... I'm afraid it will be difficult to fundamentally change anything."

"Ying Zheng is only forty at this time, and it is still uncertain when Fusu will take over. I'm afraid the situation will not be stable until then." Yan Dan calmly pointed out that Xue Nu's idea was not realistic.

Xue Nu didn't care about these questions, and asked again, "I just want to know, if Fusu ascends the throne, will the relationship between the Mohist family and the empire ease?"

"..." Yan Dan's deep eyes stared closely at the nervous Xue Nu through the black gauze, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Xue Nu looked at Yan Dan nervously and expectantly, ignoring the pressure caused by the other person's gaze, waiting for the answer she hoped for.

"Huh..." Yan Dan sighed inwardly.

The snow girl's idea is simply unrealistic.

The conflict between the various schools of thought and the empire could theoretically be alleviated by Fusu's accession to the throne, but in fact... almost all the senior leaders of various schools and factions except Legalism are not from Qin.

In other words, almost all of them have a grudge against the empire, which goes beyond a simple conflict of ideas and is almost like the remnants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the internal affairs of the Mohist family, first of all, he is the prince of the former Yan Kingdom.

Yan Dan asked himself that he was already a rational enough person, but to be honest... he couldn't do it if he was asked to completely forget the hatred of the country's subjugation, give up his hostility to the empire, and simply weigh his attitude towards the empire as a Mohist giant.

Absolutely not possible!
  Unless he dies, this hatred will never end.

In addition, Big Iron Hammer was born in the Yan army and was at odds with the imperial army.

Gao Jianli was also at odds with the imperial court because of Jing Ke's matter - let alone saying that Jing Ke's death was self-inflicted, he said it was hatred. There was no rational reason at all. It was really crazy to reason with his enemies.

As for the ordinary disciples below, there are countless people who have grudges against Qin.

In Yan Dan's view, the only way to ease these hatred conflicts is to spend a long time.

But whether the situation can continue to be so deadlocked is a question.

The empire is indeed at its peak now, commanding authority from all directions, and no one in the world dares to follow it.

Ying Zheng is like a god and demon in the sky, standing above everyone's heads, suppressing the anti-Qin forces and making them almost breathless.

But fear, like hatred, is just an emotion after all. Time will wear away hatred, and it will also wear away fear, the latter much faster.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

How long can this pressure last?
