Gu Xun's behavior this time was a bit strange. He neither showed any intention to help the Qin army, nor did he mean to cause trouble for the Qin army.
This is not in line with Yuki Onna's consistent understanding of Gu Xun.
As far as she knew, although Gu Xun was the national advisor of the Qin State, he did not always stand on the side of the Qin State, and sometimes he would act against Ying Zheng's wishes.
Today, Gu Xun told her about the Demon God of War almost without reservation. It seemed that he was on the opposite side of Ying Zheng again this time, but... it was not thorough enough.
Judging from the performance, it seems to be tempting her to confront the Qin army head-on.
It is normal for Gu Xun to trick others into working for him, but Xue Nu is very sure that he will never use her as a knife.
Gu Xun would tell her about the Demon God of War just because she really wanted to know, and he didn't mind telling her.
He has neither the intention to help the Qin army nor the intention to deceive the Qin army.
So this time...did he choose neutrality?
But what does neutrality mean in this matter?
Faced with this question, Gu Xun pondered for a moment before replying, "My position... It's hard to say at the moment. We have to wait until we get to Loulan to see the specific situation."
"What do you mean?" Xue Nu asked with her eyes fixed.
Gu Xun looked at the dusk sky and did not answer. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Who do you think is the protagonist in this battle for the Demon God of War?"
The snow girl lowered her eyes and thought, silently.
Gu Xun continued talking to himself, "On the surface, the protagonists are naturally on the side of the empire and the side against the empire."
"On the empire's side, the main members are Gong Shuqiu, the eldest son of the Yin Yang family, Siming, and Wei Zhuang and his group of Niliusha Assassins."
"As for the anti-imperial side, it's relatively simple. It's you and Gai Nie. Of course, you can also barely include the young man in purple who was captured just now. He is the young master of the Xiang clan and a staunch anti-imperialist."
The snow girl's brows wrinkled unconsciously.
In comparison, the combat power is seriously imbalanced.
Even if we don't count the thousands of Anxi suppressing troops, there are still too many people on the empire's side.
The two of them, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie, were basically in a fight. She herself had to face the eldest young master of the Yin Yang family, Siming, and almost the entire Niqusha assassin group.
It is impossible to win, just barely not getting killed is not bad.
However, Gu Xun turned around and smiled at Xue Nu, and asked with interest, "But is this really the case?"
"Whether you and Gai Nie, or Wei Zhuang and the others, are you really the key to this turmoil caused by the Demon God of War?"
"What else do you know?" There was no clue, and Xue Nu couldn't think of a clue, so she simply asked Gu Xun directly.
Gu Xun did not answer, but just waved his hand and said, "I told you to let you know this. I just hope you can take this opportunity to go to the desert of the Western Regions and browse the different scenery of the Central Plains."
What he meant was that just go along and join in the fun and watch the scene, and don't worry about the rest.
But whether the snow girl can understand this meaning, or whether she is willing to obey it, is another matter.
After all, Yuki-onna is not Jingli and the others.
As long as they have a word from Gu Xun, they can immediately turn into spectators and fish in the water with peace of mind, but the snow girl is not sure.
So Gu Xun doesn’t force it.
Anyway, if the God of War really shows up and behaves the same as in the movie, she will immediately understand what Kan Jing'er means.
There really isn't much to do except watch the fun.
Manpower versus the devil is like stabbing an elephant with a toothpick, and it doesn't even match the word "overestimating one's capabilities".
Xue Nu held her sword and looked at the Qin army that was gradually evacuating in the distance. She did not continue to struggle with Gu Xun's attitude and asked instead:
"Why did Gongshu Qi attack that old man before?"
Gu Xun replied cheerfully, "Dragon Soul!"
"Among the countries in the Western Regions that have disappeared from history, the legend about the Loulan Kingdom is quite special."
"Countries in the deserts of the Western Regions have a common problem of lacking vegetation and water sources, but Loulan is a special case. They do not lack water."
"According to legend, this is because Loulan received the blessing of the goddess, so he has an endless source of water, and the root of it is this dragon soul."
"According to the information found by Gongshu Qiu, the dragon soul is the guarantee for the small country of Loulan to survive in the Western Region, and the loss of Loulan is precisely because of the loss of the dragon soul."
"Old Uncle Lu, that old man, was one of the people sent by Loulan to find the lost dragon soul, and he was lucky enough to find it."
"Gongshu Qiu arrested him just to get the dragon soul."
"The dragon soul with powerful divine power is not only the source of life in the desolate desert, but also the key to destroying everything. If you want to drive the Demon God of War, you must first obtain the dragon soul."
After listening to Gu Xun's long explanation, Xue Nu nodded slightly, "Dragon Soul... Brother Jing Ke's child is involved in this, right?"
Gu Xun spread his hands and replied in a wanton tone, "Obviously."
"Hmm..." The snow girl hummed softly, slowly closing her eyes and temporarily processing the current situation in her mind.
In general, it is still inconvenient for her to directly fight the Qin army. The disparity in combat power is too huge. She can only hide in the dark temporarily, look for opportunities, save people, and sabotage the Qin army's actions.
The key to this should be the dragon soul.
After roughly having an idea, Snow Goddess glanced at Gu Xun hesitantly, and after thinking about it for a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and asked, "What...are you going to do next?"
For Gu Xun, she... How should I put it, she loves and hates him at the same time. She could force herself to completely ignore his existence before meeting him, but now that she has actually met him, even though she has all kinds of resentments in her heart, Still unconsciously wishing to go with him.
In this regard, Gu Xun said that it is better to use the ostrich tactics to the end.
At this moment, the snow girl seemed to be calm, but her inner world was definitely not as calm as it was in Europe in 1939.
If he continues to hang around in front of her, he will inevitably continue to stimulate her emotions, so it is better to avoid it first and let her calm down by herself.
"I'm going to find Wei Zhuang and follow them." Gu Xun answered, along with an explanation, "Gong Shuqiu prepared a sand boat that can sail in the desert. It's more comfortable to ride on that one."
"Hmm... Do you want to come together? It will definitely be a thousand times better than riding a camel."
The snow girl glanced sideways at Gu Xun, and immediately her body swayed, and her beautiful figure disappeared from the spot.
Gu Xun looked at the snow girl leaving, and shook his head sadly, but he did not leave just like that. Instead, he looked up again at the red sun that was about to sink completely under the horizon, and said with emotion:
"It's getting late this day."
As he spoke these words, a figure wearing a hat appeared silently in a shadowed corner.
