Shao Yu looked at Tianming with longing eyes, opened his arms, and hugged him, "Tianming, goodbye!"

"Ahem... be gentle, I told you to be gentle!" Shao Yu was so excited that he almost couldn't breathe due to his natural strength, so he hurriedly patted Shao Yu to signal him to let go.

Shao Yu didn't care about this. No matter how tight he held him, he couldn't strangle him for a while, so he slowly let go.

As soon as Tianming was relieved, he quickly took two steps back, rubbed his neck, and said angrily, "I know you can't let me go, brother, so there's no need to use such force!"

Shao Yu rolled his eyes at him, "Brother? I have never seen a eldest brother who was almost strangled to death after hugging him!"

"You are my life, so you should be appointed honestly!"

"Speaking of which, brother, once I leave, I won't be able to protect you in the future. Are you worried about your future life?" In the end, Shaoyu was worried about Tianming's future, so he tried to enlighten him in a joking way.

Unfortunately, for the heartless Tianming, even though he knew that the road ahead would be difficult, he still wasn't worried, or in other words... he simply didn't know what the difficulty was.

What’s there to worry about if you don’t have any idea?

At this time, Hun waved his hand carelessly and curled his lips indifferently and said, "Hey, Hero Tianming still needs to worry about this?"

"Boy, just wait. When you see your brother next time, I will already be a famous hero in the world."

Looking at Tianming who proved the truth that ignorance is bliss with his own actions, Shaoyu could only smile and silently wish him safety in the future.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, let's go!" Raising his hand, Shao Yu led the horse and headed east.

Tianming scratched the back of his head and looked at Shao Yu's leaving figure. The excitement in his eyes gradually faded away and turned into sadness and reluctance.

Gai Nie didn't speak, just stood quietly behind him.

As for the snow girl, she has left long ago.

Shao Yu and she actually had quite an overlapping journey. She had planned to take Shao Yu with her before, but the relationship between the Mo family and various anti-Qin forces was pretty good, and the Xiang family was no exception.

They have to go through Guanzhong next, and Shao Yu is a real wanted criminal. He is somewhat dangerous, so he should take care of a junior.

But Shao Yu rejected it.

The reason... is that he is a family member.

The reason why he appeared in Longxi before was because he couldn't stay at home anymore and sneaked out privately.

Although the trip to Loulan was exciting and fulfilling, he still wanted to see more.

Especially after the conversation with the snow girl Genie that made him half understand, he was no longer particularly anxious to go home.

But Xue Nu is very anxious to return to the Mo family and contact the head of Renzong Xiaoyaozi.

So the two parted ways.

Tian Ming froze in place until Shao Yu could no longer be seen, then he turned to look at Gai Nie and asked, "Uncle, will Shao Yu and I see each other again?"

"Yes." Gai Nie nodded slightly and replied in a low but affirmative voice.

"Yeah!" After Tianming heard this, he nodded heavily and shouted with renewed vigor, "I'll definitely see you again!"

"Let's go too, uncle."

………………

Gu Xun left Shuyi Hall and walked out of the palace at his brisk pace.

The maids and waitresses he met along the way would all bow and salute when they saw him.

After so many years, almost everyone in the palace has gotten to know this handsome and unreasonable Imperial Master, and their attitude toward him is basically respectful.

After all, not everyone dares to take such a wanton and unrestrained pace in Zhangtai Palace.

For example, a certain high-ranking Lord Tingwei, even though he was about to be promoted to prime minister, still walked calmly and reservedly in the palace, appearing particularly solemn and not daring to be a little frivolous.

When Li Si saw Gu Xun, an old acquaintance, he didn't show any airs. He stopped first, clasped his hands and said hello, "I haven't seen him for many days, my lord."

Looking at Li Si, whose face was getting older, Gu Xun showed a strange smile, returned his hand and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Li, it's not bad."

As for Li Si, Gu Xun had a close relationship with him in the years when he first came to Xianyang, but in recent years, they have gradually become distant.

After all, we are not from the same group, and Li Si does not have any irreplaceable important role for Gu Xun. It is normal for the relationship to be indifferent.

As for what will happen in the future, it all depends on what choice Lee Xiangguo will make.

What Gu Xun pays most attention to now is his appearance.

Compared to the undeniably ugly faces of Ji Wuye, Liu Yi, and Jade Tiger, Li Si's appearance is the kind of... typical that feels like it ruins everything.

From his youth to his current middle-aged and bearded age, Li Si's facial features have always been considered regular, with nothing major wrong with him. However, at a glance, he gives people a... not-so-good feeling.

When he was young, he always had an evil look on his face, giving the impression that he had no intention of taking the right path.

Gu Xun originally thought that he would improve as he got older, but as a result... the evil spirit disappeared, and his face turned into a gloomy one, and he still looked like a bad guy.

It can be regarded as... very ugly.

After slandering the other party with some malice in his heart, Gu Xun asked casually, "Master Li, are you going to see His Majesty the Emperor?"

List paused for a moment and showed a slight smile, without deliberately concealing it, "Yes, there are some things that need to be reported to His Majesty."

"Well, he is worthy of being the person who is about to sit at the top of the list of officials. He is just busy." Gu Xun couldn't help but ridicule after hearing this.

The current left and right prime ministers of the empire are Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang, but their positions are not stable now.

Wei Zhuang is too old and his abilities are only so low. For an emperor as enterprising as Ying Zheng, it is naturally inappropriate to continue his appointment.

As for Wang Wan, not to mention, he was a die-hard member who continued to enfeoff. Ying Zheng did not like him, his own abilities were not indispensable, and his abolition was certain.

The candidates for prime minister are Feng Quji and Li Si.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The former's right phase position is basically stable, while the latter's left prime minister position... is basically stable.

Mainly because there are no strong competitors.

Feng Jie, the imperial censor, is very capable and has sufficient qualifications, but he certainly cannot let the Feng brothers take charge of the two positions. Besides, this guy has a straight temperament, so he is not suitable.

Neishi Mengyi has good abilities, suitable personality and status, but his qualifications are not very good and he is too young, so his promotion to prime minister is a bit over-promoted.

The remaining candidates among Jiuqing are not even a little bit worse than Li Si, and he is the only one who can rise to the top.

This is basically a fact known to both the government and the public.

However, facts are facts and cannot be said nonsense if they are not implemented in practice.

Just because Gu Xun is not taboo does not mean that Li Si dares to be unscrupulous, so when he heard this, he immediately explained, "The Imperial Master is joking, it is just a folk rumor and cannot be put on the stage."

Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled. He didn't say much more on this point. He raised his hand and said goodbye, "Haha, I won't delay Master Li. I'll leave first."

Li Si waved his hand and said politely, "Master, please go slowly."

Gu Xun laughed again and walked away.

Li Si still stood there, watching Gu Xun's leaving figure, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

He couldn't understand what this person wanted before. After so many years, he found that he didn't understand it even more.

Especially in the past few years, the other party has become more and more intimate, but a series of changes that happened to the eldest son Fusu have proved that this teacher is definitely not staying away from the court.

But what does he want to do?

In the past, Li Si couldn't see through Gu Xun, but didn't care much about it, but now he can no longer ignore it.

Because of Fusu.

The relationship between Fusu and the Meng family can be said to be close to the naked eye, and the Meng family now not only has deep influence in the military, but also has a huge territory in domestic affairs.

That's right, it's the second son of the Meng family, Meng Yi.

The relationship between Fusu and Li Si was very lonely, even distant.

It seems that the eldest son doesn't like him very much.

Regarding the attitude of the most favorable candidate for the imperial crown prince, Li Si, an official fan, naturally felt a little anxious. After all, if the position is to remain stable, the relationship with the emperor must be well established.

The current First Emperor naturally trusts and respects him, but what about in the future?

Prepare for a rainy day or worry about nothing?

Li Si was not sure. After all, the First Emperor was still in his prime, and it was almost unknown who would die first, between himself and the other party.

But one thing is certain, that is, the probability that his descendants will die before the First Emperor is extremely slim.

After his death and the new emperor ascending the throne, where should the Li family go?

………………

Guoshifu.

Gu Xun looked at the tall and thin girl in front of him, with a quiet and pitiful temperament, wearing a plain blue dress, and smacked his lips.

The older the child grows, the more similar her mother will be in temperament, but the similarities only exist on the surface, but they are completely different on the inside.

Frightened Salamander's mind is very shallow, but her mind is very deep.

Gu Xun has never been able to figure out how to get along with this cheap girl who is growing up.

Sigh...it was obvious that the person closest to her when she was a child was herself...
