Chapter eight hundred and seventy seventh arrangement of the gods
Gu Xun raised his head and moved slightly, "That's okay."
"With the speed of the sand ship, it will take about five to seven days to reach Loulan. You can be a prisoner on the ship first."
Xiao Li nodded silently and was about to turn around and leave, but before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "When we get to Loulan, what are you... going to do?"
Gu Xun didn't answer. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, you don't have to worry about this."
Xiao Li bit his lip and wanted to ask again, but seeing that Gu Xun had his eyes closed and had no intention of answering, he turned around and left silently.
When she was about to walk out of the room, Gu Xun suddenly opened her eyes, remembered another thing, and warned:
"After you get out, if they still put the shackles on you, just follow Wei Zhuang's orders and don't need to put them on again."
Xiao Li pursed his lips, nodded with his back to Gu Xun, and left immediately.
Gu Xun was left alone in the room, lying on his back, leaning against the wall panel, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the table.
Gu Xun closed his eyes tightly. The information Xiao Li said, combined with the ancient myths and legends he knew, were intertwined and gathered in his mind, gradually evolving into a complete outline of the story.
A world-destroying weapon that has been dusted for thousands of years, and grudges that have lingered for hundreds of generations.
A girl who is not the son of a human being embarks on a journey of destiny to pursue the lost dragon soul. Infused with precious spirits such as courage, sweat, wisdom, persistence, etc., and with the help of her friends, she finally completes the journey after untold hardships.
My mission is to destroy the ancient God of War and save the dawn of the world...
What a beautiful and inspiring story.
Unfortunately, in Gu Xun's eyes, there must be some unknown secrets hidden under this illusory and beautiful story...or in other words, a plan.
First of all, if Jiutian Xuannv helped Chi You create the Demon God of War, the possibility that she would not be able to destroy what she created is extremely slim.
Of course, maybe Fallen Star is really special, and she can't destroy the Demon God of War, but what Xiao Li and Xiao Xiu Xiu can do if she can't do it?
How about going to a grave to burn newspapers and leaving them to fool the ghosts?
Rather than saying that it cannot be destroyed, Gu Xun believes that Jiutian Xuannv was unwilling to destroy the Demon God of War at that time out of some considerations... More precisely, it should be that she preferred that the Demon God of War be destroyed at a specific time.
.
For example... now.
Everything seems to be planned.
In a small country isolated in the desert, some people betrayed the country and casually stole the dragon soul that was related to Loulan's life.
The most important thing is that traitors who commit betrayal should find a home.
But these people in Loulan don’t.
Gu Xun had checked the information before, but he could not find any imperial court or private power that had ever had an interest in a small country in the Western Region.
So these defections simply stole the dragon soul and hid it.
I don’t know what the deep hatred is, but I have to drag everyone in Loulan to die together...
Then, there is another series of coincidences.
Loulan has sent people to search for it for decades, and just recently, Old Man Lu successfully retrieved the dragon soul.
Just when Old Man Lu was about to pack up and return to Loulan, the legend of Gong Shuqiu pursuing the Demon God of War caught up with Old Man Lu, a native of Loulan.
The Qin State was thus introduced into the chaos in Loulan, which basically ensured that the reappearance of the Demon God of War would not be stopped by external forces.
Everything is arranged just right.
It's hard to say that this wasn't a script that had been planned long ago, but actors like Xiao Li probably didn't know that what they did had been planned by others.
And speaking of this, Gu Xun can also understand why the Eastern Emperor Taiyi lacked interest in this matter, and reluctantly sent the eldest son Siming to help out because of Ying Zheng's instructions.
Obviously, he is happy to see all this happen.
Of course, this is just Gu Xun's guess. Although he is very confident, it is not the truth after all.
The most important thing is that he doesn't know what the reason for Jiutian Xuannv's arrangement was.
There is a high probability that it is not just to delay the destruction of the Demon God of War.
As for Gu Xun, no matter how many doubts and speculations he has, he can only proceed step by step according to others' arrangements.
No matter what, he could not allow a powerful weapon like the Demon God of War to continue to exist in the world, and must destroy it as soon as possible.
As for the option of directly taking Xiao Li and Xiao Xiu Xiu back to the Central Plains and leaving the Demon God of War in Loulan, Gu Xun gave up immediately.
Who knows if there is something fishy about the seal of the Demon God of War? If it were to be automatically unsealed at some point, the trouble would still not escape.
It is better to face the difficulties and face everything head on.
Anyway, Gu Xun feels that this will not cause more serious consequences than the Demon God of War himself.
Gu Xun is not sure yet whether gods really exist on this land.
But what is certain is that if there really was one, they would have already sent them all.
How much trouble can non-existent gods cause?
………………
After Xiao Li left Wei Zhuang's room, she was questioned about the shackles by the Qin soldiers waiting for her outside. She also successfully dismissed Qin Jun with the excuse Gu Xun gave her.
Although it is absurd to take orders from a prisoner, the soldiers of Qin Army were not sure about the temperament of the man in Wei Village and did not dare to directly deny Xiao Li. They could only obey the orders for the time being and no longer put the shackles on her.
When they turn around, they probably still have to find a way to verify with Wei Zhuang whether this is true.
Then, under the supervision of the Qin army, Xiao Li went to the main hall of the Sha Ship behind the deck.
In a spacious hall, the space is very spacious and spacious. There are basically no furnishings, except for a few people standing empty.
The one standing at the top is Gong Shuqiu, who is hunched over and has his hands behind his back.
Under his head, on one side stood the young master Siming, and on the other side stood General Fruit and his thin monkey lieutenant.
Gong Shuqiu had the proud smile that villains love most on his lips, and looked at Xiao Li who walked in.
But when he saw that the shackles on Xiao Li's hands were gone, his already wrinkled brows tightened even more.
"What's going on?" Gong Shuqiu pointed at Xiao Li and asked the soldiers escorting him around.
The soldiers quickly explained, "Sir, this woman said that Master Wei Zhuang ordered her not to be shackled."
"It's useless to say that you can still run away in the desert."
Gong Shuqiu's brows softened slightly, and he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, since it is Lord Wei Zhuang's order, then so be it."
There is really no need to worry about the other party escaping in the desert, and Gongshu Qiu doesn't even bother to worry about whether it is Wei Zhuang's intention.
Da Siming, on the other hand, stood aside in an enchanting manner, playing with his long hair on his temples casually with his fingers, looking at Xiao Li with interest.
Wei Zhuang’s orders?
As far as she knew, the owner of Niququsha was not someone who cared about such issues.
Even if he could, why would he give such an order?
