Chu State has been regarded as the biggest obstacle to Qin’s eastward expansion in recent years.
Since the Qi State, which had been emperor for a while with the Qin State, was defeated by the troops of the Five Kingdoms led by Le Yi, and the Seven Kingdoms were completely transparent, only two of the most powerful countries in this vast land were left.
.
Horizontally, it is the Emperor of Qin, and vertically, it is the King of Chu!
The struggle between Qin and Chu has become the key to the ownership of hegemony in the world.
This is Qin's biggest enemy, and naturally it needs to be treated with the most severe severity.
Many ministers in the imperial court were arguing endlessly about the policy and strategy of attacking Chu.
One group, headed by Wang Jian, the most famous general of the Qin State, advocated mobilizing the power of the whole country, using all the troops, and using the highest standard of military operations to deal with the Chu State.
The other faction, headed by the new Right Chancellor Feng Quji, strongly opposed Wang Jian's ideas.
Feng Quji and other court officials were not military generals, so they did not say how many troops should be sent, but they were unable to take on the feat of sending troops to the whole country.
It sounds very exciting, but the treasury will cry, and so will the ministers responsible for internal affairs.
The Qin State is not short of money in its treasury now, but the war is about supplies of grain and grass and soldiers.
In the current situation, Qin has money and no place to buy strategic materials!
If Wang Jian wins a battle against Chu, they will all suffer from baldness.
Of course, excessive military expenditure is only part of the reason, and another part is that they are not at ease.
Who can rest assured that the entire nation's military is in the hands of just one person?
Despite the dispute between the two parties, Ying Zheng was unable to make up his mind to agree to Wang Jian's request.
At this time, the young military generals headed by Li Xin, a young general who had made great achievements in the previous battles to destroy the country and performed well, took the opportunity to jump out and gave King Qin Yingzheng another choice.
However, these disputes and games in the court have nothing to do with Gu Xun for the time being.
Of course, he is not idle either. It should even be said that he is very busy.
First and foremost, naturally, it is Nian Duan’s disease.
Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, treasure vault.
This is a treasure house opened by Gu Xun specifically to store rare items. However, although most of the items in it are valuable, they are of little use to Gu Xun.
Only a very small part are real treasures, which are stored in the deepest part of the treasure house and protected in the strictest way.
There are ever-lasting lamps burning whale oil hung on the walls in the basement. The weak but enough firelight illuminates everything around, and you can see shelves of various items, large or small.
Types of treasures, such as pearls and emeralds, sapphire agate, pearls and calligraphy and paintings... to name a few.
Among the treasures, Gu Xun, dressed in white, led the way, while Nian Duan followed him behind.
But she was wearing a... mink fur coat, and the thick down made her look three times fatter.
It was summer, but Nian Duan didn't feel the heat in her clothes at all. Instead, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
"Gu Xun, your basement is too cold. Is it connected to an ice cellar?" Nianduan couldn't help but ask.
She was not curious at this time, she just wanted to relieve the coldness in her heart by talking, although it felt useless.
Gu Xun nodded and replied, "It can be said that although there is no such facility as an ice cellar in my house, this basement is indeed connected to the coldest...ice."
While talking, the two finally walked through the spacious basement storage room and came to the innermost door.
Gu Xun pushed open the small door that was not locked at all, stretched out his hand, and invited Nian Duan in.
Nian Duan watched helplessly as the door was opened by Gu Xun, and waves of white and cold air continued to pour out from the inside.
I feel cold just looking at it.
However, Nianduan knew that the clothes he wore were thick enough, and the coldness now was more psychological than a lack of warmth, so after hesitating for a moment, he stepped in.
After entering, I was shocked when I saw Nianduan decorated in the inner room.
Even though she has traveled extensively and has seen a lot, she couldn't help but slightly open her red lips and was speechless for a moment.
What appeared in front of her was a secret room made entirely of ice, or a cold storage?
A huge igloo with a square shape, about two feet in length, width and height, is placed in the inner room, tightly attached to the three walls, touching the ground to the top, and is the only thing that can be directly touched by people.
, only the front side.
The crystal clear ice exudes a dense cold air all the time. Under the weak light, Nian Duan can only vaguely see a little bit of the scene in the ice room, which is not real.
Gu Xun walked up to Nian Duan and asked with a smile, "How about it? Are my protective measures strict enough?"
In Gu Xun's view, no matter how strong the door is, it can be opened, and it is better to lock the valuable things completely.
Based on this concept, he finally gave up the idea of asking a public loser to design a safe for himself, and broadened his thinking and designed this sealed freezer.
It was made by him personally, using the Ice Soul Sword Technique with all his strength, and was blessed by the Ice Soul Cold Air Formation. It is more than half a foot thick. Buried underground, it can guarantee that the degree of melting will not exceed 30% within five years, and the melting rate will not exceed 70%.
Before, he made sure that no one in the world could break through the ice wall without everyone making a fuss.
If you need to get in or out, you must go through Gu Xun himself to create an entrance and exit, completely eliminating the possibility of being stolen.
It can be said to be isolated from the world of mortals!
Nian Duan stared at the 'refrigerator' blankly for a while, then came back to his senses, and responded to Gu Xun with a smile:
"Your protective measures... I have never heard of them."
While sighing, Nian Duan's doubts also came to mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "But how to get in and out?"
Hearing this, Gu Xun grinned and waved to Nian Duan to follow. Then he walked to the ice wall at the lead, turned his palm and pressed it up.
Afterwards, under Nian Duan's eyes, which were puzzled at first and then turned in disbelief, the six-foot-thick ice wall melted rapidly to create a narrow passage for one person to pass.
"Come in."
Nian Duan was stunned and followed Gu Xun in following his instinct.
After entering, it was like waking up from a dream, and he hurriedly asked, "How did you do this?"
Gu Xun turned around, spread his hands and replied, "This is the wonder of martial arts. If you are as strong as me, you can also do it."
"..." Nianduan opened his mouth, but no words came out in the end.
She finally understood why the Mo family had such a deep hatred for him, but she was still polite when meeting him.
Shaking his head, Nian Duan suppressed the fear and confusion in his heart and briefly looked around.
There are not many things stored in this ice room.
The first thing that catches the eye are small ice cubes about one or two feet long and wide.
The ice cubes contain various rare herbs that she is familiar with.
