In the Handan Inn, Gu Xun, who was taking a lunch break, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Yan Lingji, who was still sleeping beside him. He stood up and walked out without making a sound, entering the vacant house next to him. Pushing the door open, there stood the Moon Goddess in a blue palace dress, with her back to Gu Xun.
"I'm talking about the Moon God Protector. Why did you come to me without resting at noon?" Gu Xun tilted his head and asked directly in an impatient tone.
"The Imperial Master must know very well why I am here." Luna responded coldly, and at the same time he slowly turned around, "I think the Imperial Master should give my Yin Yang family an explanation for the issue of the copper box."
"Ha!" Gu Xun curled his lips and smiled, and asked disapprovingly, "Why should I explain it to you?"
"You paid me to help you get the copper box from King Zhao's royal family. I did give you the copper box from King Zhao's royal family. There is no problem."
"The box is empty!" Luna heard this, her eyes became colder and more piercing, and she said coldly.
"I know, but that is your business. You should go to the Zhao royal family, not me. That thing is not kept in my hands." Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and responded angrily.<
/p>
"It is impossible for the Zhao royal family to open this box." Luna replied.
Of course she also knew that in theory the problem was most likely to lie with the Zhao royal family, who had always kept the copper box, but it was impossible for those people to open the copper box... They had opened it decades earlier. In fact, the most likely link to the problem was
, or Gu Xun, who has a mysterious origin.
Gu Xun shook his head and gave a final explanation impatiently, "The box was in this state when I got it. No matter what problems you think it has, you can solve them yourself. I have done everything I should do. These are not
Let me solve it."
"There is also the issue of money. I can't wait for you for a few more days. I'll settle it as soon as possible."
"...Is it true that the Imperial Master doesn't know?" Moon Goddess knitted his eyebrows, stared intently, and confirmed for the last time.
"Ha!" Gu Xun sneered, "Do I need to lie to you?"
"What I want, I can take it from you openly and openly, without any reason or excuse!"
"..." Moon God's expression remained motionless, and he had countless thoughts floating around in his heart. He finally replied, "As for the money issue, the Imperial Master does not need to worry, it will be given the day after tomorrow at the latest."
After saying that, she was about to leave, but was stopped by Gu Xun.
"Don't worry." Gu Xun stopped with a hypocritical smile, "He came to question me for no reason, and wanted to leave after asking. What do you think you...and the Yin Yang Family are?"
"What do you mean, Imperial Master?" Moon Goddess's expression turned cold again, and he began to be wary of Gu Xun.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything." Seeing her nervous look, Gu Xun comforted her happily, and then stated his conditions, "I just want to ask a question."
"How did you persuade the fallen soldiers to come forward to help you?"
"After Huang Xie's death, the person in charge of the National Mourning Soldiers became Li Yuan, but this person couldn't even be connected with him. How did your Yin and Yang family persuade him to come to Handan to help you secretly break into Zhao Wang's palace and rob him?
Something?"
"Why is the Imperial Master so interested in this matter?"
"Oh, just asking. If you don't want to answer this question, you can also tell me what was originally supposed to be in the copper box. In fact, I want to know this more." Gu Xun smiled and replied casually.<
/p>
"..." Yueshen hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she was considering whether to answer the question or which question to answer. Anyway, in the end she gave an ambiguous answer like the former, "The Yin-Yang family and the Chu State...
There have been contacts a long time ago, and the relationship between the two parties was not established overnight. It is not deep, but it is long enough. Of course, even so, being able to persuade the fallen soldiers to help has paid a considerable price."
"Haha, you can go." After Gu Xun heard this, he didn't ask in detail, and waved his hand to indicate to Yue Shen that he could help himself.
After she left, Yan Lingji suddenly came in through the window.
Gu Xun had already known that she was eavesdropping, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you can't open the door, why should you open the window?"
Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at him, "What, you're not happy that I eavesdropped on your flirting with your new love?"
Gu Xun was too lazy to pay attention to her usual thorny way of speaking. He put his arms around the other person's waist and pulled her into his arms. Yan Lingji did not resist and fell into Gu Xun's arms. Her bare arms were wrapped around Gu Xun's back.
Back.
"Soon we will leave Handan and continue our journey to the next stop."
Yan Lingji basically listened to the conversation between Yue Shen and Gu Xun, and knew why he said this. At this time, she smiled coquettishly and gloated, "It's a pity that she didn't see the expression on Yue Shen's face when he spoke just now. He was put in a different position, but then
Have to pay...haha!"
"I think you are hostile to the entire Yin Yang family because of Concubine Yan, and you are always happy to see them suffer."
"Hmph!" Yan Lingji snorted coldly and replied in a neutral tone, "Then why am I unhappy with the Yin and Yang family because of Concubine Yan, my dear... the shopkeeper?"
"Uh...that's not important." Gu Xun laughed and tried to muddle through.
Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at him again, but did not continue, and turned to talk about travel, "Next, we are going to Jidu in the Yan Kingdom, right? That place is already cold, and it will be winter when we arrive.
Oh...it’s so annoying!”
Gu Xun lowered his head and looked at her delicate face, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you afraid of the cold? Isn't that the case?"
"Of course I'm not afraid of the cold, but do you think I will like winter?" Yan Lingji lay on her back in Gu Xun's arms, looked at her sweetheart's face, and replied angrily with a rhetorical question.
"Why don't you like it?" Gu Xun pursed his lips and replied disapprovingly, "You have been staying in Baiyue before. The climate is humid and hot, shouldn't you like the dry climate in the north very much?"
"I don't mind dry and cold weather, as long as it doesn't snow."
"It's strange, everyone likes the snow scene in the north, but you hate snow especially."
"Can't you?" Yan Lingji hummed, choking Gu Xun like a spoiled child.
"Okay, okay." Gu Xun nodded, "But the place we go to first is not the Yan Kingdom."
"Huh?" Yan Lingji looked at Gu Xun doubtfully. The original plan was to go to Yan Country?
"Let's go to the northern border of Zhao State first." Gu Xun raised his head and glanced north through the wall, "It happened that the wolves invaded the border. Don't you want to witness a large-scale war? There are probably at least hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides.
What?"
Speaking of this, Yan Lingji's eyes suddenly lit up, she was obviously interested, "Of course I thought about it, this is much better than going to Yan country to see the snow!"
For Yan Lingji, who loves excitement, war can obviously arouse her curiosity, especially a war of such a scale.
When the allied forces of Han and Chu entered the Baiyue Kingdom to quell the rebellion, the actual scale of the wars was mostly less than 10,000 people. They were fought by small regiments of several thousand people, but the battlefields were many and scattered.
