Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 954 The world is in chaos
  Seeing Gu Xun's calm performance, Yan Lingji suddenly realized that she was not going to argue with him about the fuso tree.

"I almost made you go astray!" Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at Gu Xun, turned away, and said in a neutral tone, "Since you said you were in a good mood, then just treat it as good!"

"When shall we leave?"

Gu Xun also turned his eyes, staring at the tent ceiling aimlessly, and immediately replied, "I'll leave tomorrow."

"So soon?" Yan Lingji didn't care when she left, but she still showed a little surprise at Gu Xun's answer.

Gu Xun asked with a smile, "Is there anything else you want to do in Shu?"

"No!" Yan Lingji responded decisively, "They say that Xishu has beautiful scenery, but we have seen enough along the way."

"Besides, given the environmental conditions here, it's hard to find the mood to enjoy the scenery. I'm exhausted!"

"Hehehe..." Gu Xun couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "You are a Baiyue person, and you still despise Shu?"

"That's different." Yan Lingji argued seriously, "Living in Baiyue is just difficult, but it's not dangerous!"

"It's not like here..." At this point, she curled her lips in disgust.

Survival in Baiyue is about tenacity. As long as you can survive the harsh environment, you can survive. But in Shu, the pressure of survival for ordinary people is not that great. They just need to do something exciting occasionally, such as... ...Enter the Sichuan plank road or something.

No matter who you are, it would be difficult to like the feeling of walking on the edge of a cliff.

Gu Xun smiled even more happily, "Since you don't like it, wouldn't it be good to leave as soon as possible?"

"I have nothing to do, what about you?" Yan Lingji asked, "You don't care about the things behind Shushan?"

"What else is there to take care of?" Gu Xun straightened his waist, sat up and looked at Yan Lingji, and replied with a smile, "Meng Tian has treated them as lightly as possible, but this is the law of the empire. .”

"What else can I do? Take them all back to Xianyang?"

"..." Yan Lingji was silent for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice, "Then what's the point of following Meng Tian here in person?"

From Yan Lingji's point of view, Gu Xun's arrival is meaningless to the empire - Shushan was completely conquered by the imperial army, Guxun did not provide any help, and it also does not mean much to Shushan - should Meng Tian deal with the people of Shushan seriously? With light handling, the difference is actually not that big.

Gu Xun's biggest effect was probably to reduce the casualties of this group of Shushan mountain people by at least 70%.

It seems to be a very important role, but in fact, he only needs to tell Meng Tian, ​​there is no need to follow him specially.

So what are you doing on this trip?

Gu Xun lay back on the couch again, closed his eyes, and replied leisurely, "Of course it is meaningful, um... it is very important in all aspects."

He considers himself a person who pays more attention to the sense of ceremony. It is undoubtedly a significant act to personally see the Great Elder of Shushan and Shi Qing on their last journey - but he did not expect before coming that these two people would eventually meet. In this way... it ends.

Of course, it’s not just a perceptual meaning, it also has a substantive effect.

The divine power of the Fuso Sacred Tree indeed suppressed Yu Yuan far more effectively than Gu Xun's ice soul. However, this power was overbearing, and after all, a moment of courage could not last long.

Gu Xun expected that it would take at most three or two years for his efforts to be completely exhausted.

In order to ensure that the seal could be stable as long as possible, Gu Xun, after studying for a long time, finally succeeded in using his own energy to leverage the divine power of the Fuso Sacred Tree and introduce it into the cycle of the Ice Soul Cold Energy Formation. Although... after this external divine power was introduced into the formation, the Ice Soul Cold Air Formation basically had nothing to do with the words ice and cold. Fortunately, the energy circulation system has not collapsed and is already running barely. It has slowed down the wear and tear of the Fuso Sacred Tree's divine power, and it is initially estimated that it should be able to sit back and relax within ten years.

And ten years later, Gu Xun must have moved the sacred tree back.

Even if something unexpected happens and the sacred tree cannot be moved back, or it no longer has any effect, ten years is enough time for Gu Xun to find another way.

The world will always continue to move, and destroying the world is just the background setting in the story.

In the past, there was even something as outrageous as the Demon God of War, but no one today has been affected by it.

"Okay, let's rest." Gu Xun finally said, "We will set off tomorrow and return to Xianyang."

"After so many years, it's time to do something serious... Maybe for me, it should be considered non-business?"

"Huh?" Yan Lingji was a little confused, but Gu Xun didn't help her.

………………

The news of the fall of Shushan reached the ears of all those who were interested in it in a secret and rapid manner.

Of course, to be honest, not many people in the Communist Party actually know about it. However, most of these people's identities are not simple. They are basically people who can shock the entire world by just stamping their feet. For example... the Supreme Leader of the Taoist Tianzong The elders, the senior Bei Mingzi whose seniority and age are all ridiculously high, and the reclusive scholar Xun Kuang from the Confucian Xiaoshengxian Village.

The connection between Shushan and the Central Plains Jianghu is almost zero, but the Central Plains Jianghu has always paid a lot of attention to Shushan.

It's just attention, it's just attention. Ying Zheng's sudden dispatch of troops certainly caught many people off guard, but the only ones who actually tried to help Shushan were the Taoist sect.

With the demise of Shushan, the originally peaceful world seemed to have had a switch turned on, and chaos suddenly began.

First of all, within the empire, the original left and right prime ministers, Wei Zhuang and Wang Wan, resigned and retired. Feng Quji took over as the right prime minister, and Tingwei Li Si took over as the left prime minister.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Si is the only one who actually exercises power.

Because the Feng brothers, Feng Quji and Feng Jie, are famous for their inaction.

The censorship system under Feng Jie's control is basically empty and has made few achievements in official affairs.

Feng Quji is even worse than his younger brother Feng Jie. He clocks in to work every day and strictly adheres to the principle of not seeking merit but seeking no faults.

The key is that the imperial censor responsible for supervising all officials is his brother, so he doesn't have to worry about being impeached.

As for Ying Zheng... His Majesty the Emperor promoted him to be the right prime minister, so he didn't expect him to play much of a role. He just needed a right prime minister, and Feng Quji happened to be just right in terms of identity, status, and qualifications. That’s all.

Don't ask why you don't find a capable leader, just ask because you don't need it.

Ying Zheng has never longed for any talents. He only needs to be obedient and can implement his will.

Feng Quji and Li Si could just meet his needs, although... the methods were different.

But this is just right, and there is still Li Si who can do some practical things.
