Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 951 Choice
  "Senior, I won't bother you with this." Yu Ziqi simply refused without any intention of revealing anything.

Xiaoyaozi sighed secretly, but he also understood that after these children suffered a big change, they would inevitably be a little extreme and self-conscious, so he continued patiently:

"Looking at the fact that you are all in your teens, you must have been sent away from Shushan by your elders before the empire attacked."

"I don't know if your elders in Shushan have told you anything, but if they haven't done so, I suggest you leave Shu with me."

"It is still unknown when the imperial troops under Meng Tian will withdraw, and it is also unknown whether the empire will strictly enforce statistics on the fish that you have slipped through the net, but in any case, continuing to stay in Shu is not a good choice, especially After your existence has been known to Yun Zhongjun, the elder of the Yin Yang family."

"Going to the vast Central Plains region is the most suitable choice for you to hide and hide."

"But I think your understanding of the Central Plains is probably very limited. It's best to have the help of others to really gain a firm foothold."

"..." Yu Ziqi fell into silence.

Yu Ziqi didn't know whether Xiaoyaozi's views were consistent with those of the great elder and the others. Anyway, the plans of the two sides overlapped.

Before leaving, the great elder made a preliminary plan for Yu Ziqi and the others, which was to leave Shu as soon as possible and go to the Central Plains to take root. This is what Yu Ziqi and his group are planning to do now.

Maybe this really is the best plan.

The issue is--

"Why should we believe you?" Yu Ziqi raised his head and asked Xiaoyaozi, "Senior said that he knows our princess, is there any way to prove it?"

"If possible, we are willing to comply with the arrangements of our seniors."

Xiaoyaozi smiled and looked at the swarthy young man in front of him with approval. Although he was very immature, he was very responsible and suitable to be a leader.

Then he shook his head, "I can't prove it."

"I told you that Princess Shi Qing and I only met each other once, and we have not communicated with each other for so many years since then. Unless she appears here in person, no one can prove this."

"However, I feel that what I have done has proven that you can trust me."

Xiaoyaozi explained with a smile, "If I had ill intentions towards you, I wouldn't have to go to such trouble to explain to you."

"With your strength, whether I plan to kill you, imprison you, or secretly follow you, it will be an easy task."

Hearing these words, Yu Ziqi's expression was a bit ugly. In any case, being called a rookie in front of someone, even if it was a senior who was several decades old, was still not a good experience.

However, he had to admit that what the other party said was very pertinent.

They faced a certain Yun Zhongjun and almost suffered a disastrous defeat. However, after this Yunzhongjun recognized Xiaoyaozi, he ran away without any hesitation, completely ignoring his own face.

It can be seen that the strength gap between the two sides is huge.

But it was difficult for him to use this as an excuse to convince himself that he really followed Xiaoyaozi's arrangements and entrusted the lives of a group of people to his hands.

Agree... or refuse?
  At this time, Shi Lan suddenly interrupted and asked, "Do you... know Gu Xun?"

Yu Ziqi looked at his sister in surprise, wondering why a name he had never heard before suddenly came out of her mouth.

Xiaoyaozi paused while stroking his beard, frowned and asked, "Little girl, are you referring to... the Imperial Master Gu Xun?"

"I remember that Gu Xun, the national master, did have the experience of going to Shu in the past, and maybe he had some interactions with Shushan... But, little girl, how do you know this person and suddenly mention him?"

"..." Shi Lan lowered his head and was silent for a moment before replying in a low voice, "I don't know who the Imperial Master is, but... he also knows my mother, so..."

"Your mother?" Xiaoyaozi caught the keyword and looked at Shi Lan carefully. Although he didn't see any clues, a figure holding a child from many years ago appeared in his mind, and he suddenly said, "It turns out that It’s you, that toddler from back then!”

"I didn't expect she was so old." Xiaoyaozi couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time, and then said, "Speaking of which, this can be regarded as proof that I know her."

"More than ten years ago, your mother, the noble princess Shi Qing, personally left Shushan to do something. That matter had something to do with my senior brother. That's why I met her once. At that time She took you with her when you were still young." "I think she doesn't leave Shushan very often. I wonder if any of you know anything about this?"

Facing Xiaoyaozi's question, Yu Ziqi suppressed the curiosity in his heart and nodded slowly, "I know about this..."

Of all the people present, no one knew this better than him.

He, Shi Lan, was several years old and could already remember things at that time. Moreover, at that time, he was obsessed with his mother and also liked to tease his young sister. As a result, his mother took her little sister away from home for a long time.

Although he didn't know exactly what his mother was doing at that time, he remembered the time it happened clearly.

As Xiaoyaozi said, this is indeed evidence.

My mother-in-law did not hesitate to take her little sister who was still inseparable from her mother to go out to handle this matter in person. The importance of it was self-evident, and she would not provoke too many irrelevant people in the process.

In other words, most of those who know about this matter are indeed related to their mother-in-law.

Although I don't know if it is a friendly relationship or a hostile relationship.

Xiaoyaozi ignored Yu Ziqi, who was still hesitating, and continued to talk to Shi Lan, "I have almost no contact with Gu Xun you mentioned, but... no matter how you know this name, little girl, you'd better remember it. Live one thing - he's probably one of the most dangerous people in the world."

"So, it's better to stay as far away as possible."

"Is he a bad person?" Shi Lan asked.

"Well..." Xiaoyaozi hesitated for a while, then denied Shi Lan's statement, and once again emphasized what he said before, "It's hard to say whether he is good or bad, but he must be very dangerous!"

Shi Lan lowered his head, thought for a while, then raised his head, skipped the topic of Gu Xun, and asked instead, "Why do you want to help us?"

"Haha, this is my senior brother's order. Of course I have to obey it." Xiaoyaozi looked at this little girl who was pretending to be serious and serious. He couldn't help but show a kind smile, stroked his beard and replied, "Besides, you are just children, I After all, it’s impossible to just watch you go into danger.”

After receiving this answer, Shi Lan remained silent, silently thinking about something.

But Yu Ziqi looked at Xiaoyaozi's fairy-like appearance, and he was really not the bad guy, and the balance in his heart began to shift. Finally, he said to Xiaoyaozi, "This matter is of great importance, we need to continue Let’s discuss it.”

"That's what you should do." Xiaoyaozi waved his hand, signaling to Yu Ziqi and others to do as they pleased.

The Shushan boys ran to the side and gathered in a circle to discuss the issue in low voices. Some expressed agreement, some opposed, and some gave up.

In the end, they still cast their hopes on Yu Ziqi, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Encountering such an uncertain choice for the first time in his life, Yu Ziqi was under great pressure and could not make a decision.

Finally, Shi Lan, who had not expressed his opinion, said to his brother, "Promise him."

"Ah?" Yu Ziqi looked at his sister, a little stunned by her sudden attitude.

Shi Lan added calmly, "We always have to make a choice."

"This time, choose to believe this person."

"Why?" Yu Ziqi, who had come to his senses and had already made his decision, asked his sister again.

Shi Lan looked up at the sky and replied in a low voice, "I believe that grandma will bless us."

Yu Ziqi: "..."

After feeling sad for a moment, Yu Ziqi gathered his mood and walked towards Xiaoyaozi to answer the choice they made.

Shushan rarely communicates with the outside world, and naturally they never ask others for help. This kind of self-reliance and self-reliance is almost engraved in their bones, but this time, Yu Ziqi decided to try and see what it would be like to ask for help.
