Eight hundred and seventieth chapters pretending to be an ostrich
"...Alas!" Gu Xun raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, sighing helplessly.
Looking at the snow girl whose expression gradually returned to calm, but whose restlessness and pain in her heart had not been soothed at all, Gu Xun mumbled a few times, but still didn't know what to say.
He could only lament in his heart that sometimes some inadvertent choices would really cause irreparable consequences in the future.
When he killed Jing Ke, he only felt that he should send him on his happy journey, and it was not a waste of time for the two of them to get to know each other. How could he have expected that it would have such a big impact on Xue Nu in the end.
After scratching his hair, Gu Xun, who had a headache, had to choose the least effective method, but it would always be useful.
Ostrich tactics!
Just bury your head in the sand and pretend you don't know.
Let time slowly smooth everything out.
He turned around and walked out of the alley, raising his hand to signal the snow girl to follow:
"First... follow me. Let's talk on the way."
Although Xue Nu felt resentful, she had no intention of competing with Gu Xun. She raised her legs smoothly and followed him.
The two were silent for a long time. Xue Nu didn't want to speak, and Gu Xun opened her mouth several times but felt that she had nothing to say.
In the end, it was Gu Xun who broke the silence, but the topic was abruptly changed by him.
"What are you going to do now? Take that child away?"
Xue Nu's expression was much more natural than Gu Xun's. It seemed as if the question she just asked did not come from her mouth at all. She answered with a normal expression:
"He is the son of eldest brother Jingke, of course I want to take him back."
"Hmm..." Gu Xun looked at the snow girl with a calm face, as calm as a winter glacier, and sighed inwardly, but on the surface he tried his best to remain calm and continued to ask:
"Then you are not going to care about the empire's next actions?"
The snow girl did not hesitate and replied directly, "I will still try my best to investigate as long as the child's safety can be ensured."
"But if I can't take care of it...it's more important to me to protect Brother Jingke's son."
Gu Xun smiled and nodded, "It's reasonable to do this, but I think you might as well check the empire's actions."
Snow Girl frowned and turned her head to look at Gu Xun, "You seem...to want me to sabotage the empire's actions?"
Gu Xun smacked his lips and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said in denial, "Well... this is not my purpose."
"If it's just to cause damage, I don't need to borrow other people's hands."
"I just hope you can...well, walk more, there is no point in wandering around the Central Plains all the time."
"This matter involves an ancient country that has long been lost in the desert of the Western Regions. It should be considered a journey that is neither long nor short."
"An ancient country in the Western Regions?" Xue Nu muttered, then directly asked Gu Xundao, "What is the purpose of Qin's action this time?"
"Do you know the God of War?" Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and asked.
As expected, the snow girl was clueless, "What is that?"
"Well... to put it simply, it is a giant war machine that once belonged to Chi You's command..."
Gu Xun gave Xue Nu a brief introduction to the legendary Demon God of War.
In this regard, Snow Girl’s first thought was naturally:
"This is just a legend. Is there really such a thing that can destroy the world?"
Gu Xun shrugged, curled his lips, and replied, "I don't know about that."
"But since Gongshu Qiu knows something about this thing, you, the Mo family, must also know a little bit about it."
"Well...it's just that maybe you don't know clearly."
Snow Girl is a Moxiao, not a Moji. Regarding the art of mechanism, unless you go out of your way to understand it, you won’t know much.
After listening to Gu Xun's words, she nodded and affirmed, "Probably only Master Ban and Juzi will know about this kind of thing. I really don't know."
"However, since Ying Zheng has gone to war over this, it shouldn't be entirely based on speculation, and it really cannot be completely ignored..."
"But that child..." Snow Girl hesitated.
For her, the life safety of Jingke's son cannot be ignored, but it would not be appropriate to sit back and watch the empire succeed.
Gu Xun then said with a smile, "I don't think you need to worry too much about the child's safety."
"Why?" Snow Girl raised her head and asked.
Gu Xun raised his eyebrows, smiled and pointed in the distance, "Because... you see."
At this time, the two of them had already approached the place where Gu Xun and Tianming were chatting.
Xue Nu followed the direction of Gu Xun's finger and saw the Tianming trio who had just been rounded up by the Qin army in the open space in the distance.
Looking at Tianming who was being tied up by the Qin army, Xue Nu's face turned cold and she was about to charge forward with her sword in hand, but Gu Xun grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
The snow girl struggled hard for several times, but failed to break free, so she could only give up and look at Gu Xun coldly.
Gu Xun smiled at her, but did not let go of his palm. Instead, he said, "Didn't you see the person guarding the side? If you go over now, you can't save the person."
At this time, the person supervising the Qin army's arrests was none other than Gong Shuqiu, and next to him stood two masters, the eldest and the young, Siming.
The distance between them and Tianming is no more than ten steps. Even with the speed of the snow girl, it is not enough to snatch the person directly from the two of them.
"But if that child falls into the hands of Qin..." Seeing that Tianming was in crisis, Xue Nu became agitated again.
Tianming's life experience is special. If he falls into the hands of the Qin State, his life or death is difficult to predict.
Gu Xun directly passed a breath of Qi along her wrist to help her calm down. At the same time, he comforted her with words, "Don't worry, he will be fine."
"So far, no one in the empire knows his life experience, or... those who know it will not tell them."
"As far as Gong Shuqiu is concerned, he is just a borderland boy who accidentally got involved in the War Demon God affair."
"What Gong Shuqiu wants is to get as much information as possible, not to kill people. Besides, I won't let anything happen to him."
After receiving Gu Xun's explanation and the physical meditation of Bingpo Zhenqi, Xue Nu's mood immediately stabilized, but her worries were not eliminated.
"Then we can't let him fall into the hands of the Qin army. I must follow up and wait for an opportunity to rescue him."
"Don't worry, you can just go to Loulan with the Qin army." Gu Xunyun suggested lightly.
"You mean... to let these children get involved in the War Demon God thing?" Xue Nu asked suspiciously, and immediately rejected it, "No, this is too dangerous, we can't let them get involved." p>
Gu Xun reminded her with a smile, "In fact, they got involved much earlier than you."
"Moreover, it's hard for you to find a chance to rescue them halfway."
Xue Nu looked at Gu Xun and said coldly, "But you can."
Gu Xun shrugged and replied awkwardly, "You know, my status is quite special, so it's not very convenient..."
The snow girl was not interested in listening to his nonsense and interrupted directly, "This time, whose position are you on?"
