Although Ayan hoped that Han Fei would adopt a more conservative and prudent plan, Han Fei insisted that she could not forcefully confront her uncle.
After all, the worst outcome for her is that she personally leads the peasant family in rebellion, and the matter in the North has nothing to do with her.
Using farmers as guns against the empire was a strategy that Gu Xun agreed with. It was just that the time was moved a little earlier and the specific implementation was more radical. Generally speaking, it was not a big problem.
It wouldn't be a big deal if Zhao Gao noticed that there was something wrong with her identity.
The possibility of Zhao Gao directly guessing her true identity is zero. At most, he thinks that she has secretly taken refuge with Liusha, or that she was a hidden hook arranged by Liusha from the beginning.
No matter what he thinks, the result is nothing more than a complete breakup between the farmer and the snare.
Apart from causing Ayan's further plans for Luo Wen to fail, this has no other negative impact - they are planning to go to war with the empire, and it really doesn't matter what their relationship with Luo Wen is.
As for Ayan's loss...it can't be said to be serious.
Her plan for the snare can only be regarded as something that has not yet happened. Although the benefits will be great if it succeeds, she may not be able to succeed, and the probability of success is not very high.
Giving up halfway is both a loss and a stop loss, which is quite acceptable.
………………
Deep in the East China Sea, the boundless sea stretches endlessly as far as the eye can see.
The bright red mirage travels on the sea, like a moving red sun.
Above the mirage, in a pavilion on the high-rise deck, Tianming was lying next to the window, basking in the sun while chatting with Chitaki Kyōku.
Although Xinghun hated Tianming very much, and could even be regarded as hating this true young genius, he still did not dare to use any evil means to hinder Tianming in order to avoid affecting the Yinyang family's 'thousand-year plan'.
In response to Tianming's request to change to a cell with a better environment, he generously arranged for Tianming to have an upper-class "upper room".
A luxurious suite located in the pavilion on the upper deck of the mirage - it has windows on three sides except the east, so you can always enjoy the sea breeze and sunshine, and enjoy the boundless sea view. The room is always equipped with incense charcoal fire, luxurious big bed, and all daily furniture.
Private bathroom and even a kitchen.
Tianming knew how to cook and was willing to cook for himself, so the Yin and Yang family simply opened an extra room for him to use as a kitchen and provided him with ingredients on a regular basis.
Since I followed Tianming's will, I also saved them the trouble.
Although the Yin Yang family still made additional reinforcements on the doors, windows and walls, this cell has broken away from the category of a 'cell' and is closer to a place of confinement, similar to the evolution from a heavenly prison to a cold palace.
The morning is a leisurely day of eating and waiting for sleep again, and it is more nourishing and more comfortable than before.
But he soon realized that what Gu Xun told him was indeed the truth.
Even if the mirage is as big as a small city, it is just a lonely boat floating on the sea, with limited space, lack of entertainment, and very few things to do.
This is especially true for Tianming who is in captivity.
You will eventually get tired of seeing the sea scenery too much, and the topics of small talk with Chitaki are not endless.
After several months of continuous sailing, the treatment given to him was honest.
"Qiantaki, I was fooled by you!" Tianming lay on his back on the couch by the window, with a look of despair on his face.
"Why did I fool you?" Qiantaki's confused and innocent voice sounded in Tianming's ears.
Tianming replied with a little excitement, "You told me that you would go back in two or three months at most. It's been four months now, and you haven't even seen your return yet!"
"We're afraid we'll have to float on the sea for a year..."
When talking about the latter part, the emotions that Tian Ming had barely brought up dissipated again, and he became as frustrated as he wanted.
Hearing Tianming talk about this, Qianlong was also very depressed, "I didn't expect it would take so long..."
I've been sailing for several months, maybe I've traveled thousands of miles, so why haven't I arrived somewhere yet?
Is it possible to sail all the way to the ‘Eastern Continent’ that her father calls so far away?
For such a long voyage, let alone Tianming, there are actually very few people who can endure it.
If anyone can endure loneliness, it is probably only those boys and girls.
They generally come from poor backgrounds, and even having enough to eat has been a luxury since childhood, let alone spiritual satisfaction.
Staying on the mirage does not require any heavy physical work, and every day is basically just eating and waiting for sleep. For them, it is the life they dream of.
In addition, they are all of the same age and can chat together, which can provide some emotional comfort to each other.
However, when Tianming thought about this endless journey, his eyes became dizzy, and he muttered and lamented:
"Is there enough food in Mirage for such a long time? We won't starve to death halfway, right?"
Chitaki, who was also depressed, responded, "Don't worry about this. My mother said that the food stored in the mirage is enough to feed everyone for at least two years."
Tianming was not surprised by this answer.
Grain is easy to store, so it won’t be a problem for at least a year or two.
The most indispensable thing on the mirage is the extra space. They can easily store tens of thousands of stones of food. Not to mention that they only have a thousand people, even if they double it, they will be enough to eat for a long, long time.
His worry just now was just a casual comment.
What he was really worried about and curious about at the same time was——
"What about water?"
Food can be stored directly, and meat, vegetables and fruits can also be stored after being salted and dried. There is even an area on the ship for farming.
But water seems to be completely useless... should I use wine instead?
But so far, the Yin Yang family has provided him with normal water, and there is no intention of saving at all.
"As for water...it's not everywhere." Chitaki replied casually.
Tian Ming was confused at first, and then realized what ‘everywhere’ means:
"Seawater is neither drinkable nor usable, so no matter how much it is, it won't do anything!"
"The Yin Yang family seems to have a way to turn seawater into usable clean water." Qiantaki smiled and returned to Tianming.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ah?" Tianming's brows jumped and he said in surprise, "Do they still have this ability?"
"It's not their ability, it seems to be some kind of mechanism created by the public losers." Chitaki explained, "I don't know exactly what happened."
"Gongshu family... That's normal." After hearing this answer, Tianming immediately calmed down.
The art of mechanism is all about making one's wishes come true.
Although he couldn't understand how this seawater could be turned into usable clean water, he could accept it.
But when it came to the mechanism technique, Tianming couldn't help but lamented, "In the past, Mr. Ban asked me to study the mechanism technique seriously, but I never listened. Now I want to learn it, but it's a pity that I have no way."
Chitaki laughed and scolded when he heard this, "You know how to say it. If I ask you to learn it when I get back, you will definitely not learn it again."
"Hey, it's impossible. I will definitely study hard when I go back." Tianming joked with Chitaki with a playful smile.
Chitaki replied with a smile, "You'd better practice your skills honestly first."
"Practice..." Hearing this topic, Tianming was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "You have to practice...if you don't practice, there is nothing else to do."
These days, he says that he eats when he sleeps and eats when he wakes up, but it is obviously impossible to spend twelve hours a day on these two things.
The rest of the time was basically spent on practicing.
Tianming himself prefers to practice swordsmanship, but there is no such condition on the ship - not only because others are imprisoned, but also because Gai Nie is not there.
What he practiced was the most orthodox vertical and horizontal swordsmanship, but there was no sword manual for this thing - at least Genie didn't give him the sword manual, it was purely taught step by step.
Without Gai Nie, the most he could do was review the swordsmanship moves he had already learned, which was of little significance, and he was too lazy to bother with the Yin Yang family.
Therefore, most of Tianming's time is devoted to practicing internal energy.
In this aspect, he is simply more talented than Xiao Meng, and his progress is like a miracle.
However, cultivating internal strength is a very labor-intensive and boring thing, and he can't bear this temper and immerses himself in it day after day.
At the same time, he also knew that what awaited him next was a completely unknown, but highly likely, dangerous future. The only way he could improve his chances of survival was to enhance his strength.
The boring sailing life destroyed his spiritual will and made him weak and depressed.
But the unknown future gave him a constant sense of urgency, making him dare not slack off for a moment.
The effect caused by the interweaving of the two is just one word - torture!
Chitaki could see Tianming's pain, but there was nothing she could do.
Tianming can only rely on himself to overcome this matter, get used to it, and wear down his free-spirited personality.
………………
While Tianming lay lazily in the cell lamenting life, a similar thing was happening in another part of the mirage.
In the bedroom of Mrs. Lao Xiang, the Minister of Water Resources, Gu Xun was lying on Ehuang's bed with his back stretched out, looking decadent.
Tianming is not a person who can endure loneliness, and neither is Gu Xun.
At least that boy Tianming can chat with Chitaki every once in a while. If he keeps hiding, he will be little different from Robinson.
Fortunately, the mirage is very large. There is not only a special place for growing vegetables on the ship, but also a place for raising livestock and eating fish. There is no shortage of fresh ingredients, so Gu Xun does not have to compromise on his diet.
Otherwise it would be even more unbearable for him.
Even so, just a few days after the only stumbling block - the mirage was eliminated, Gu Xun could no longer hold on.
Originally, he had planned to stay hidden and not see anyone until the mirage reached its final destination, but the loneliness felt by a person was really unbearable, and there was not much excitement in the mirage for him to enjoy his loneliness.
So he decisively approached Mrs. Lao Xiang, the Minister of Water Resources, and his sisters.
Although he really wanted to hug his good daughter and cuddle up, Gu Xun still restrained himself forcefully.
Canglong Qisu's troubles haven't come to an end yet, so he has no intention of meeting Yan Fei and Yueshen.
That's why he found Mrs. Xiang's sisters - the eldest young man, Siming Guxun, also knew him, but one of them was as fearful of him as a tiger, and the other was silent, so they were neither suitable companions to relieve his boredom.
Moreover, in terms of relationship, he is more familiar with Mrs. Xiang and her sisters.
Looking at Gu Xun, the landlord, he forced Ehuang to sit on his sister's couch and couldn't help but ask:
"Master National Preceptor, if you don't go to Master Moon God, why are you hiding here with our sisters?"
Gu Xun replied lazily without even squinting, "Didn't I tell you when I first came here that I don't want to see the Moon God now?"
He then added, "I don't want to see Xinghun and Yun Zhongjun either."
E Huang squinted at Gu Xun and said disdainfully, "So you are willing to meet Sister Siming?"
"Huh?" Gu Xun frowned and asked, "When did they become sisters?"
"You don't deny what I said!" Ehuang didn't answer him, but just replied with a sneer.
Nvying on the side pulled her sister's sleeve, probably trying to persuade Emperor E not to say that.
Gu Xun rolled his eyes and replied angrily, "It's not that I want to see them, but I don't care whether I see them or not."
"Hmph!" Ehuang hummed twice, half-smiling but not smiling, and said nothing to Gu Xun's reply.
Gu Xun urged, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"I just said casually, aren't the elder and younger Siming sisters in "Nine Songs"?" Ehuang explained casually.
When Gu Xun heard this, he rolled his eyes again, "I said you have some attitude even if you are not educated, okay?"
"In "Nine Songs", it's okay for you to say that "Da Siming" and "Shao Siming" are sister chapters, but whether there is a sister relationship between these two gods is another matter."
"No! I've let you go astray!"
After saying this, Gu Xun realized something was wrong and quickly corrected him, "In "Nine Songs", Da Siming is a male god and Shao Siming is a goddess. There is no sister relationship between the two of them!"
"Da Si's destiny is to die, and Shao Si's destiny is to live. They are brothers and sisters or have a similar relationship as husband and wife."
E Huang curled his lips and didn't care about this, "Hey! In "Nine Songs", Mrs. Xiang is not a twin god, so what?"
"Qu Yuan is not from the Yin Yang family!"
Gu Xun glanced at her sideways, "Isn't your mood right?"
"Who can remain emotionally stable after drifting on this sea for several months?" Ehuang's tone instantly became much calmer, and he replied in an understatement.
Gu Xun laughed a few times and said immediately, "You'd better learn from your sister and be more calm."
Gu Xun was not teasing her, but a very serious suggestion.
In the eyes of outsiders, everyone in the Yin Yang family is a young genius.
Among the five elders and the two guardians, almost one is younger than the other, and each one is more talented than the other - except for Yun Zhongjun, who is talented in alchemy.
Of course, it is impossible to have such an all-talented lineup. They were all brought up through evil means and through forced cultivation.
To put it simply, having high emotional intelligence means taking the wrong approach.
Therefore, everyone has something wrong, even Concubine Yan and Yueshen are no exception, but the degree is different.
For example, Yan Fei and Moon God are all a little paranoid. This is partly due to their own personalities, and partly due to the influence of Yin and Yang techniques on their character.
Another example is Xinghun. He is the most obvious one. He is crazy and cannot even use his full strength.
There are also Da Siming’s hands, Shao Siming’s mouth, and the mental illness of Mrs. Xiang’s sisters.
Yes, Mrs. Xiang and her sisters are mentally ill to a certain extent.
Unlike Yanfei Yueshen, who was only slightly paranoid and conceited, the two sisters had basically reached the level of mental illness after repeated confirmation by Gu Xun.
The personalities of the two sisters have always been relatively complementary.
One has a tough temper and is obviously aggressive, while the other has a gentle personality, not weak but very passive.
The two are obviously opposites, but neither are extreme. They are quite complementary to each other.
