Chapter 274: Only by clearing the clouds can we see the sun
Of course Li Si also knew that this mission was very problematic.
After all, before the last envoy died, Lu Buwei arranged for him to continue his mission.
This kind of behavior is a clear acknowledgment that the previous envoy is gone.
However, the intelligence information he could obtain was far inferior to that of Han Fei, so he could not imagine the purpose behind these abnormal behaviors.
If it's just to find an excuse to attack South Korea, then there is no need to go to such great lengths.
There have been disputes among the Seven Kingdoms for hundreds of years, and there is no feud between them. If you want to find reasons, you can find a lot of them by just looking through your own history books. In today's era, it is no longer a matter of being famous.
Fortunately, Li Si is different from Han Fei. Although he can't figure it out, he can ignore these problems. As an envoy, he only needs to do his job, go to South Korea as an envoy, and secure enough benefits for Qin.
, that’s enough.
He is not in his position and does not pursue political affairs. He is not Han Fei. He is a member of the heir to the throne and needs to worry about the entire country. If he does his job well, it will be enough to achieve his goals.
"Senior brother, since I was sent as an envoy to South Korea, then the affairs in South Korea are naturally the reason why I came." Li Si casually replied with a perfunctory comment about Han Fei.
If possible, he doesn't want to get involved in something that he shouldn't get involved in for no reason. Although he can gain wealth through danger, he is not a person who dares not take risks, but it is undoubtedly stupid to rush into a situation that he knows nothing about.
behavior.
Han Fei glanced at his junior brother again and was not surprised by his response, "I know you have always been pragmatic, but sometimes, you have to dispel the fog and find out the truth, otherwise you will only step into the abyss of ignorance.
”
Li Si was silent. What Han Fei said was not unreasonable, but the two of them were enemies rather than friends at the moment, and it would not be wise to trust each other credulously.
Finally he turned around and replied:
"It's getting late, it's time to enter the city."
Han Fei also turned around and asked Li Si, who was walking forward:
"Do you still remember what I said to you when Songhai said goodbye?"
"Next time we meet, can't you show mercy just because you're worried about your relationship with the same disciple?" Li stopped and gave the answer, "Senior brother, don't worry, I won't show mercy."
"Ha! Me too." Han Fei left a few unclear words and walked in front of Li Si, "But don't worry, it's not the time yet."
Li Si couldn't help but squeeze the scepter's hand tightly. There was something in Han Fei's words, but his unclear attitude made him feel a little aggrieved.
………………
In the city, Gu Xunqiao missed an hour of his morning time to practice medicine and ran to Zilanxuan.
After Gu Xun arrived at the place, he found Zi Nu in Wei Zhuang's room. Not only Zi Nu, he also saw Wei Zhuang, who he thought should have left.
"Oh, you didn't go with Han Fei to... the north of the city?"
"No, Han Fei and Zifang went outside the city to greet the new envoy of the State of Qin." Zinu knelt down and helped explain.
When Wei Zhuang saw this, he swallowed the answer he was about to say.
"New Qin envoy? Are you here so soon?" Gu Xun almost forgot about this incident.
"Yes." Wei Zhuang nodded in confirmation, and then said, "And that person is Han Fei's junior brother, Li Si."
"Yeah." Gu Xun snorted casually, his reaction was very dull.
"You don't seem surprised?" Wei Zhuang asked.
"Do you think you know more about Qin's trends, or Luo Wang knows more about Qin's trends?" Gu Xun asked with a smile.
"..."
Thinking of that top-notch insider, Wei Zhuang chose to remain silent.
Well, in terms of intelligence, you are better.
Regarding Wei Zhuang's reaction, Zi Nu couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, and then asked Gu Xun:
"Do you know anything about Li Si? He is from Lu Buwei's group?"
"Ah... this..." Gu Xun sat down next to Zi Nu, touched his chin, thought about the knowledge about Li Si in his mind, and then replied, "Li Si... shouldn't count Lu Buwei.
Same thing."
"Although he is begging for food under Lu Buwei now, this person is very realistic. He only seeks high-ranking officials and generous salaries. He is definitely not die-hardly loyal to Lu Buwei."
"Are you another person who pursues power? Ha!" Wei Zhuang showed his most common contemptuous smile.
Zi Nu analyzed, "If you put it this way, this kind of person will not miss the opportunity to tear off his own merits from South Korea."
"Why do you say that?" Gu Xun asked puzzledly, "Now that the King of Qin is here, is he worried that he will not be able to win over an ambitious man who wants to rise to power in Qin?"
"But according to what you said, he may not choose the King of Qin who is not in a favorable situation at this time, especially since this King is still in Xinzheng and his life is under direct threat."
Wei Zhuang added, "Besides, it's not yet clear whether the King of Qin is an enemy or a friend."
"Uh..." Gu Xun was speechless for a moment. He forgot that everyone has different perspectives and naturally have different ideas.
"Then let's see what happens when Han Fei meets the other party later."
Zi Nu then said, "If the King of Qin is willing to let go, this matter will be solved easily."
"Whether he relents or not, South Korea must give a convincing explanation, otherwise it will be in vain." Wei Zhuang retorted.
"So I just said it's three points easy." Zi Nu replied with a low eyebrow.
Gu Xun didn't understand again, "If King Qin is willing to let go, what trouble can Korea have?"
"Sooner or later, the death of Qin's envoy will be known to the whole world. As a powerful Qin, it must get an explanation from South Korea to maintain its own face, appease its subjects, and at the same time act as a deterrent to the other five countries. Even the King of Qin
You can’t just forget it, otherwise wouldn’t it make people look down on Qin?”
"Okay..." Gu Xun smacked his lips, thinking it was quite reasonable.
Of course, a country's face problem is serious, not to mention that Qin is still the strongest among the seven countries.
"Then what are your plans?"
In the original plot, Han Fei blamed Yan Lingji. Now that Yan Lingji has not been caught, who will he blame? Wushuang ghost? ""
"There is no plan." Faced with Gu Xun's question, Zi Nu shook her head simply, "The attitudes of all parties are still unclear. Where is the plan? We still have to wait until Han Fei meets them one by one before making any plans.
Plan."
"That's not just nonsense!" Gu Xun rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Nong Yu is here, I'm here to see her."
"Looking for Nongyu?"
This is a bit strange. Gu Xun and Nong Yu have met many times, but they rarely take the initiative to seek her out.
Zi Nu couldn’t help but ask:
"What are you doing with Nong Yu?"
"It's business, tell me where he is first. When I came here before, I ran into Hong Yu, but Xiao Nizi didn't know." Gu Xun did not elaborate, but asked Zi Nu to tell him where he was first.
Zi Nu put her hands on her chest, turned her head and looked sideways at Gu Xun, then stood up and said, "Come with me."
After saying that, she walked outside the house.
Gu Xun quickly stood up from the ground and followed.
