When talking about this topic, Shi Qing couldn't help but have a hint of confusion on his face.
She now has basic trust in Gu Xun and the others, and considering it from her own heart, she does not want the three of them to be tortured by the snare.
Especially in her eyes, it was because of Shushan that the other party would be in trouble.
But she is not willing to break the tribe's rules.
Bringing outsiders into Shushan casually is tantamount to disregarding the safety of the entire family. Her sense of responsibility does not allow her to do so.
The dilemma made Shi Qing very worried these past two days.
Gu Xun saw it in his eyes and knew it well. He couldn't help feeling that these mountains, which rarely have contact with the outside world, should be more simple.
It doesn’t matter whether you are kind or not, but you are indeed more likely to be deceived by others.
Of course, this is not unrelated to Gu Xun's appearance that makes people feel close to each other, and his profession as a doctor, which makes it easier for people to let down their guard.
Shi Qing is currently in a fragile state of equilibrium, and a little external intervention may drive her to make a real decision.
To save people, or not to save them.
There are many ways to destroy this balance, and Gu Xun chose a safe and difficult-to-detect method.
Gu Xun said to the worried Shi Qing:
"Although the trap is difficult, the real target is still you. As for us, it should be fine."
"When we get to Chengdu, we will go our separate ways. You can go home as usual, and the three of us will stay in the city for a while."
"At that time, Luo Wang's attention will definitely be mainly on you. It will be fine if the three of us hide quietly for a while."
Shi Qing couldn't be as optimistic as Gu Xun, but he couldn't help but worry, "Doctor Gu, the snare has always been notorious. I'm afraid things won't go away so easily."
Gu Xun shrugged and said comfortingly, "Don't forget, I am a doctor. My medical skills are quite acceptable, and I am fairly well-known in various countries."
"I also have a small connection with the Qin State. After all, everyone will inevitably get sick, so the trap will not make things too difficult for me. Don't worry."
Although Shi Qing still felt uneasy, after several comforts from Gu Xun and the fact that it was really difficult to make up his mind to break the rules of the clan, he temporarily agreed with Gu Xun's plan.
And in this way, the first step of Gu Xun’s plan has been completed.
………………
It's night, in Gu Xun's tent.
There are only two people in the camp, Gu Xun and Zhang Han.
Concubine Yan was not very interested in the plan to gain trust, so she did not participate much. She just pretended to be dumb throughout the whole process.
Gu Xun looked at Zhang Han and asked with a smile, "What's the reaction from Luo Wang?"
"My lord, after being surrounded and killed several times, the losses in the trap were considerable, but we still did not get satisfactory results. He has already started to ask Xianyang for instructions."
"How did you do it?" Gu Xun tilted his head and asked.
Zhang Han pursed his lips and smiled, "All of them have been cut off."
Shu County's network was really not strong enough, so the elite Shadow Guards brought by Zhang Han easily controlled the news channels.
But Zhang Han went on to say, "However, this move probably won't last too long. Luo Wang's secret letter has not yet been cracked, so it is impossible to send a false message in the reverse direction. There has been no reply from Xianyang for a long time.
The branch manager who is afraid of being trapped will notice something is wrong."
Gu Xunhun waved his hand nonchalantly, "There's enough time."
They are about to enter the Chengdu Plain. By then, the speed can be further improved. They will arrive in Chengdu and then rush to Shushan... there is more than enough time.
Zhang Han also understood the truth, so he just mentioned the time issue later.
"You have to pay close attention later, and you must control the movements of the snare, especially after arriving in Chengdu." Gu Xun gave the final instruction.
Zhang Han nodded, "I will finally understand."
"Well... did the Shadow Guards send any interesting information today?" Gu Xun asked casually after chatting about the plan.
When he's away from home, Gu Xun's intelligence network mainly relies on prostitution. He used to be a prostitute, but now he's a secret guard.
After Zhang Han hesitated for a moment, he replied, "I finally got the news. There seems to be some movement in South Korea."
"South Korea?" Gu Xun asked curiously, "What else can South Korea cause trouble now?"
"It seems that because of the pressure from Lord Neishiteng and the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army, the King of Han decided to cede Nanyang land and formally surrender to our great Qin, in order to ensure the continuation of the country."
"Ah..." Gu Xun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Is South Korea going to cede Nanyang so soon... The unification of the Seven Kingdoms is really not far away.
Hmm... It's better to end it as soon as possible, so that you can save yourself some worries.
"Is there any news about Han Fei?"
Zhang Han cautiously replied, "This matter has just been reported, and there is no response from Xianyang yet."
"Okay." Gu Xun shook his head and said to Zhang Han, "Nothing else, you can go and rest."
"I will leave at the end." Zhang Han immediately bowed his hands and left.
Gu Xun sat alone by the candlelight and pondered for a moment.
It's obviously impossible to expect Han Fei to sit still for such a big matter, but with Mo Crow and the others watching, they probably won't let him get into trouble...
I hope he will be okay.
………………
Ten months later, northwest of Chengdu, people from Shushan were heading towards the Minshan Mountains.
The news that Shi Qing said in their previous chat with Gu Xun that they were going to Mengshan Mountain was false. Shushan Mountain is actually located near Minshan Mountain.
After arriving in Chengdu, Shi Qing and Gu Xun parted ways as planned and headed towards Shushan non-stop.
Because he was still a little worried about Gu Xun's safety, and because they were being targeted by the net and they couldn't really cover up their whereabouts, before leaving, Shi Qing informed him of the real information that Shushan was actually located near Minshan.
Of course, there is only a very vague approximate location. In theory, it would be difficult to find the destination in the mountains with such crude information.
At this time, they have at most three or four days before they can reach their tribe and return to Shushan.
The frequency of snare attacks has also dropped a lot in the past few days. Since leaving Chengdu, I was easily escaped by them only once.
However, this situation did not allow Shi Qing to relax his tense body and mind. Luo Wang would not let them go without reason, and there must be a reason for the decrease in the frequency of attacks.
So what could be the reason?
She doesn't want to think too much.
Just when everyone in Shushan was preparing to set off again after a short rest, an accident happened.
The Gu Xun trio, who had not been separated from them for a long time, suddenly met them again.
Compared to when they parted before, they are now in extremely embarrassed condition, with pale and ugly faces, dusty clothes, and some lightly treated wounds still vaguely visible on their bodies.
Among them, Zhang Han, who is responsible for combat power (in the eyes of Shushan), is the most serious. He seems to be seriously injured and is already in a shaky state, and may stop eating in minutes.
