Chapter Seventy-Seven: Time Rises (900 Recommendations and Updates)
In the scorching summer, Wu Anjun's mansion.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, many years have passed.
At this time, in Xianyang City, there was already a Wu'an Jun Mansion again.
It's just that today's Wu Anjun Mansion is no longer the Wu Anjun of the past. In today's Wu'an Jun, there are already other people living in it.
The Qin people who came and went, when they looked at this Wu'an Monarch's Mansion, they were all full of awe.
In today's mansion, the person living in it is Bai Sheng, the grandson of Bai Qi, the powerful Wu Anjun in the past!
As we all know, this new Wu Anjun is the current Qin Wangzheng has not ascended the throne before the Taifu, and Qin Wangzheng has a master-apprentice friendship, a few years ago, Qin Wangzheng even accepted Bai Sheng's daughter Bai Yu as a concubine, in the Qin State, this Wu Anjun can be said to be one person under ten thousand people.
However, the most satisfying thing is that this Wu Anjun is quite low-key, and he hardly shows up on weekdays. Although he has made countless achievements, he has never been proud of his achievements. All day long, he lived in a shallow way, and almost never appeared in the political arena of Daqin.
However, when Qin Wangzheng needed him, he must be the first to stand up.
Whether it was the Chengjiao Rebellion in the past, the Chang Yu Rebellion, LΓΌ Buwei's dismissal, or the destruction of the five kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chuyan, and Yan in recent years, he has made countless meritorious contributions, and he can be called the number one minister of Daqin today.
Now, among the six eastern countries, only the Qi State has been left undestroyed, and many people are wondering, will the Qin Wangzheng invite this old general to go out of the mountain, destroy the Qi State, and dominate the world?
In Wu Anjun's mansion, Gu Xiao was sitting by the pond and fishing.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years and almost twenty years have passed.
At this time, Gu Xiao is no longer handsome and chic when he was young, a fairly handsome face has now appeared wrinkles, and beards have grown on his lips and under his chin.
"Time flies!" Gu Xiao held the fishing rod in his hand and thought boredly in his heart.
Since killing Xiang Shaolong back then, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. In the past ten years, so much has happened.
Gu Xiao sometimes wondered when he would be able to return to the Star Continent.
Over the years, he has made countless meritorious contributions to the southern and northern wars for the disciples who are now Qin Wangzheng, and I don't know how many meritorious contributions he has made. It's just that the greater the credit, the more Gu Xiao feels like a man.
After so many years, he has long understood what kind of person his apprentice is. In these years, he was in charge of nearly one-third of Qin's military power, and Qin Wangzheng became more and more wary of him.
Gu Xiao could see that in Qin Wangzheng's heart, there was already a question mark about his trust.
Over the years, Qin Wangzheng had begun to gradually train his successor, and every time he went on an expedition, Qin Wangzheng would send his eldest son Fusu to his army. As for the reason why Qin Wangzheng did this, Gu Xiao also knew it.
On the one hand, Qin Wangzheng wanted to cultivate his best eldest son, and on the other hand, he was to supervise the army and prevent changes in the army.
Gu Xiao also knew Qin Wangzheng's intentions.
In fact, he didn't blame Qin Wangzheng for distrusting him at all, and even took it for granted.
After all, he had lived in that indifferent world for more than 20 years, and in that society at that time, even father and son were wary of each other, not to mention that Qin Wangzheng was not his son, but only his disciple.
Gu Xiao understood Qin Wangzheng's concerns very well, after all, since his grandfather Bai Qi, their family's prestige among the Qin army was too high, it can be said that there were many old troops in the Qin army, of course he had to guard himself.
It was for these reasons that he did not let his only son join the army, but let him follow Han Fei and become a civilian official.
Gu Xiao had a vague feeling that the day when he left this world was not far away.
"Father! Father! Just as Gu Xiao was thinking, a delicate voice suddenly came from a distance, and at the same time, a burst of rapid steps came towards him.
"Yu'er, why are you back?" Gu Xiao put down the fishing rod and saw his daughter, who had already become a princess, walking towards him.
Bai Yu is the daughter born to him and Ji Yanran, she was born charming and moving, but she has been frizzy since she was a child, and she especially likes to use violence. To be honest, at that time, he had been thinking about who would be able to handle this kid in the future, but what he didn't expect was that he actually looked at Qin Wangzheng right and now became a favored concubine in the palace.
In this regard, he could only smile bitterly. After all, if there are people in the palace, it is not a bad thing.
It's just that what makes him dissatisfied is that Bai Yu's frizzy temperament has never changed, which is really a headache, and he doesn't know how to calm down when he becomes a princess.
"Father!" Bai Yu ran to Gu Xiao's side and shouted sweetly.
Gu Xiao nodded and said, "Yu'er, you didn't wait for the king in the palace, why did you come back suddenly?" β
Hearing this, Bai Yu stuck out his tongue mischievously, grabbed Gu Xiao's arm, and shouted affectionately: "People miss their father, mother, and brother!" β
"Come less, are you sneaking out again!" Gu Xiao pinched Bai Yu's nose affectionately.
This girl has been an idle character since she was a child, and her brother who is quiet by nature is inversely proportional, running around for three days. Sometimes, Gu Xiao wonders if these two children have been reincarnated. Bai Wu is obviously a disciple of the general, but he doesn't like martial arts at all, but likes literature; Bai Yu is obviously a girl, but she has been a famous little monkey since she was a child. In the entire Xianyang City, the children of the same generation, including Wang Ben and Meng Tian, have been bullied by her since they were children.
"Aren't they? This time, it was the king who allowed me to go home. Speaking of Qin Wangzheng, Bai Yu's white face was full of happiness.
Gu Xiao asked, "What?" The king is not afraid that you will tear down the old man's house? β
"Humph! Father, people won't! It's the king who wants to ask his father to do something! Bai Yunn said vividly.
Gu Xiao's heart froze and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Father, the king wants to ask my father to lead the army to destroy Qi!" Bai Yu said.
Gu Xiao was stunned, and the fishing rod in his hand almost fell.
Is it finally here? Gu Xiao's heart was full of sorrow.
Now among the Seven Heroes, only Qin Qi remains, and Gu Xiao has long known that the Qi State is bound to perish. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Qin Wangzheng actually planned to eradicate himself with the help of the war to destroy Qi!
To be honest, the Qi State is actually not difficult to destroy at all, but no matter who it is, he can destroy Qi, but he can't. Because in the Qi Kingdom, there is a person who is still waiting for him!
That person is the Sword Saint of Jixia - Cao Qiudao!
As early as that year, after he defeated the Six-Nation Alliance, he heard that Cao Qiudao wanted to correct his mistake of letting the tiger return to the mountain. Therefore, all these years, he has avoided Cao Qiudao, not that he is afraid of Cao Qiudao, but because he has no interest in exchanging his life for Cao Qiudao's life.
Gu Xiao bet that as long as he appeared in front of Cao Qiudao, Cao Qiudao would exchange his life with him! There is no doubt about this!
Now, Qin Wangzheng asked himself to destroy Qi, clearly wanting to use the opportunity of destroying Qi to destroy himself.
Gu Xiao's heart was extremely sad, but he was powerless to resist! At the same time, there was some comfort in his heart. Because at least Ying Zheng didn't want to kill him openly, and he didn't need to worry about his children and grandchildren. Because after so many years, Gu Xiao has understood that Yingzheng is a person, he acts resolutely, and he is not unkind to the people.
I believe that Daqin will not follow the path of the second death again, and in addition, in recent years, that sense of calling has become stronger and stronger.
Now it's time for him to go back!
