After testing each other, the two were silent for a moment, and then Gu Xun broke the silence first:

"Most people have a consensus - the more colorful and beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is, such as colorful mushrooms."

Moon God chuckled and asked, "Is the Imperial Master talking about someone?"

"Don't get me wrong." Gu Xun raised his hand and explained, "I'm not making any insinuations. I don't have any metaphors. I'm just stating that people generally have this understanding."

"But in fact, there are many colorful and beautiful but harmless things in nature. It is just a stereotype that bright colors are harmful."

"Is the Imperial Master saying this just to ridicule the ignorance of ordinary people from above?" Yueshen didn't understand what Gu Xun meant by talking about these nonsense, and mocked impatiently.

Gu Xun smiled, raised his hand, and corrected himself, "Although this is a wrong stereotype, it does not represent people's ignorance. On the contrary, it is normal and based on experience."

"Between people, there is nothing wrong with this. Things that look beautiful often hide dangers. It is only inappropriate when they spread to all things in the world."

"So what does the Imperial Master want to say?" Yueshen probably realized what Gu Xun meant and became more and more impatient.

"So I don't quite understand why you are so eager to try this mushroom that looks extremely poisonous at first sight?" Gu Xun turned to look at Moon God and asked in a very puzzling tone.

Moon God looked at the seascape on the horizon, without looking at Gu Xun, and asked calmly, "How does the national master know that it is extremely poisonous?"

Gu Xun was silent for a moment and did not answer her. He turned around and suddenly asked a random question:

"What kind of person do you think Donghuang Taiyi is?"

After Luna hesitated for a moment, she said a few simple words, "Mysterious, powerful, scary..."

Gu Xun raised his hand to interrupt her, "None of this is important!"

"Donghuang Taiyi is a madman, a complete madman!"

"You actually think there is no problem with the bait thrown out by such a madman - do you think you are blind or blind?"

Moon God suddenly looked at Gu Xun, his eyes under the gauze showed a rare anger, and asked sternly, "It's not only us who believe in him, but also your emperor!"

"Ying Zheng is also crazy, of course I am willing to believe him." Gu Xun replied lightly.

Luna stopped talking and turned her face away to look at the sea again, showing no emotion.

Gu Xun ignored her and continued to talk to himself, "Donghuang Taiyi is a real madman. In order to live forever, the emperor forced himself between real madness and fake madness, and you... you are not crazy at all, you are just here

Pretending to be crazy.”

"Hmph...what a good show."

"Master, do you think you are watching a show?" After hearing this, Yue Shen asked coldly.

Gu Xun chuckled lightly, "The emperor is already in the drama, who in the world can be a carefree outsider?"

"I'm not interested in watching this kind of show either."

"Then what do you mean by these?" Luna asked immediately.

Gu Xun replied with a smile, "I just want to remind you that you can't see the whole scene clearly when you are in the middle of the play, so... don't be smart, don't make your own decisions, and honestly fulfill the agreement between you and me.

.”

Luna stared at Gu Xun, her tone becoming colder and dissatisfied, "National Master, you think you must be right?"

"No matter what I do is right or wrong, I will bear the consequences." Gu Xun replied calmly.

"I will also bear my own responsibility." Yueshen replied coldly.

"What if you can't afford it?" Gu Xun laughed and asked.

"Does this question apply to the National Master as well?" Yueshen asked the question without answering and kicked the ball back.

"I can afford any consequences." Gu Xun replied with an unreasonable answer with a smile.

Yueshen did not copy Gu Xun's answer exactly - Gu Xun could say this, even if the truth may not be the case, no one can refute him before it actually happened, but Yueshen could not, she did not have the strength and confidence to say so.

After thinking about it for a while, Luna added some qualifications to this sentence, "I am not as bold as the national masters, but in this scene, I can bear all the consequences if I am conceited!"

Gu Xun directly denied her statement, "No, you can't."

Luna stopped talking and just stared at Gu Xun coldly. The meaning was very clear - why do you say I can't do it?

Gu Xun was very calm about this and asked lightly, "If your actions anger me, how should you bear the consequences? Will you die?"

Luna's eyes became more and more evil, but she still couldn't say a word.

She could not refute Gu Xun's question.

Almost everything she does now is related to Gu Xun, and it is indeed possible to offend Gu Xun for some reasons.

And once Gu Xun is angered, even if he is the Moon God, it is difficult to say that he will be safe and sound.

Looking at the speechless Moon God, Gu Xun continued with a smile, "What I said to you before was not to prove that I am better than you, or that I am smarter than you. I wanted to say that you

You have your goals, and I have mine."

"Whether you are really crazy or fake, it has nothing to do with me. I just need my purpose not to be interfered with."

"Do you get me?"

Part of the reason why Gu Xun said these words was to dissuade Yue Shen. He had already said too many dissuasive words, so this purpose was just a hint.

What's more important is to remind or warn the moon god not to violate the agreement between them.

This is not a villain who doubts the moon god without authorization, but a very reasonable guess.

In this matter, Luna's behavior was not normal.

"I will keep my promise." Luna could only respond coldly in the end.

However, she only said that she would keep her promise, but she did not say to whom she would keep her promise.

Gu Xun didn't care about this.

The point of warning is to say it. As for whether the other party will really listen to it, that is the other party's business.

………………

After many days, the citizens of Songhai once again felt the long-lost tense atmosphere.

As the emperor's car approached, Songhai City, which had originally had a relaxed and relaxed atmosphere, began to impose martial law again.

Of course, after all, Ying Zheng has not actually arrived at Songhai, and the motorcade is still some time away, so the degree of martial law is still very limited, and it is incomparable with when Prince Fusu, Prime Minister Li Si and others visited Songhai in person.

However, local officials mobilized garrison troops to strictly inspect the entrances and exits of the city, and then arranged two patrols a day in the city.

They say they are strict, but in fact they are basically just fooling around, and they are worthy of the small amount of money they receive from the court.

In short, it seems to be tight and loose.

However, under the seemingly peaceful and relaxed daily life of the people, there are actually undercurrents.

Ying Zheng, these two words affect the thoughts of countless people in the world.

There are too many people who want him dead, and too many people who want to know the secret behind this scene of leaving the mirage and going to sea.

These people will gather in Songhai for this purpose.

Their arrival happened to provide a cover for the Mo family and the farmer's family to mobilize manpower.

Zhang Han's abilities and methods are indeed very strong, and the Shadow Guard's strength is definitely not weak, but the manpower is sometimes poor.

Faced with the current chaotic situation in Songhai, Zhang Han was still somewhat powerless, and he was still unable to find out the actions of the Nongmo family.

However, because he had to send people to keep an eye on Xue Nu, Zhang Han still noticed that the Mo family had indeed made a lot of moves recently, but he still couldn't figure out what they planned to do...or should be said to be unclear about how they planned to do it.

Zhang Han knew that the Mo family planned to assassinate Ying Zheng, but he didn't know the means.

Zhang Han was helpless about this, but he had nothing to do.

After all, the power of the Shadow Guards was limited, and Zhang Han had to allocate part of his manpower to complete another mission of Gu Xun. In addition, Fusu, the Northern Master, also had to have a certain amount of manpower left at his disposal.

A wise woman cannot make a meal without rice. Zhang Han is a general, but he is only a general and has no ability to create people out of thin air.

Moreover, his mentality at work has been relatively bad recently, which has affected his efficiency to some extent.

As for why there was something wrong with his mentality...it was naturally because of the matter between Gu Xun and the emperor.

The emperor may be assassinated, the situation in Songhai is in chaos, the Shadow Guards are obviously powerless, but Gu Xun has no intention of using Liusha's intelligence network.

Zhang Han knows that Quicksand has been shrinking its power recently, but no matter how much manpower is reduced, the intelligence network cannot be withdrawn.

But Gu Xun had no intention of using the quicksand, and spent every day lying down, eating and shopping, and sleeping.

This is not in line with Gu Xun's usual style of behavior - although he didn't like to meddle in the court's business in the past, he rarely cared about it when the emperor's life was at stake.

This time, it seemed like he didn't care at all.

In fact, the reason why Gu Xun did not use quicksand is very simple.

First, because Liusha's manpower has shrunk, although the intelligence network is still there, it only maintains basic operations. It may not be very effective in detecting the confidential information of the Nongmo family.

The second reason is because of Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang clearly intended to support the Mo family's Qinglong plan. Gu Xun knew this, so naturally he could not use the power of quicksand to deal with Zhang Liang.

There can be conflicts within quicksand, and there can be different opinions, but it cannot really be shown that there is a conflict between horses and horses.
