At noon, the sun is just right. South of the Weishui River, the uneven back eaves of the houses block the sunlight from the sky and cast a shadow.
Under the shadow, Concubine Yan loosened her clenched palms and let the body in her hands fall freely, twisting and falling to the ground.
There were more than a dozen scattered corpses scattered around her, each with varying degrees of burns, covering the head, heart, lungs, throat... and other vital parts.
After clearing away this wave of tempters who were willing to die, Concubine Yan still didn't say a word. With a calm look on her face, she followed the shadows on the road and headed towards the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
After a while, Concubine Yan returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, which she had visited frequently in the past few days.
There are not many people in such a huge mansion. Except in the middle courtyard, there are not even half a person at all.
When she first arrived, Concubine Yan couldn't help but think of the deserted Imperial Master's Mansion that looked like a haunted house. She couldn't help but think of what Gu Xun had said when she chatted with her before - even though it was more lively, it turned out to be no better than the Nine Palaces in the Divine Capital.
.
Ha, man!
To be honest, Concubine Yan really doesn't like coming to this Imperial Prefect's Mansion. Not to mention the deserted nature, the key is the people living inside.
The subordinates like Mo Ya have nothing to say. They will never talk too much and will only cooperate with Concubine Yan according to Gu Xun's instructions. But those women...or mistresses as they say, are a headache.
.
Yan Lingji, who is always yin and yang and looks more like a disciple of the Yin and Yang family than Concubine Yan, Mingzhu who speaks softly and has a really friendly attitude but is full of bad intentions, and the Frightened Salamander... She is considered the best, focusing on looking after the two children,
Ignore Concubine Yan at all.
Even though Concubine Yan tried her best to speak as few words as possible and ignore the first two, there were times when she couldn't help but retort.
A real drama with three women, it’s just... it’s pretty lively.
However, this time Concubine Yan came back and did not fall into this situation, because she went straight to Dongkuayuan to find Han Fei.
Han Fei also came back from the court meeting, but he was not attacked, so he naturally returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion early.
When he saw Concubine Yan, who was wearing Gu Xun's skin, who came to see him, she asked in surprise, "Fei... uh, I forgot, should I call you Miss Feiyan now, or Lord Dongjun?"
Concubine Yan replied calmly, "Ninth Young Master, you can do whatever you want. If you're not used to it, you can continue to call me Fei Yan."
Han Fei grinned, "Then I'd better call you...Your Excellency Dongjun."
Because of Gu Xun's relationship, Han Fei is not hostile to Concubine Yan, but he is not close to her either. After all, the Yin and Yang family has always seemed to have no good feelings towards him.
Concubine Yan nodded indifferently.
Han Fei looked at Concubine Yan, who had a cold and calm look on her face, but still had Gu Xun's appearance. She was not used to it, shook her head to get rid of distracting thoughts, and continued, "It seems that it has been a while since the court meeting ended, Dongjun.
Your Excellency, have you just come back?"
"Some accidents happened on the road, and some dead soldiers came towards Gu Xun." Concubine Yan briefly described the previous situation.
Han Fei's eyes narrowed, then he smiled and said with a nonchalant smile, "There is such a master who is not afraid. He feels uncomfortable looking for Brother Gu."
Concubine Yan glanced at Han Fei, "Ninth Young Master should understand the meaning behind this, right?"
Hearing this, Han Fei suppressed his wanton smile and replaced it with a faint bitter smile. He reached out and rubbed his scalp, "I know, I know."
"Then we'll have to wait for what happens tomorrow..." Speaking of this, Han Fei couldn't help but laugh at himself, "I didn't expect that before, I told Brother Gu that he had nothing to worry about in Xianyang, but in the blink of an eye, I became a target.
!?”
Han Fei never thought that he would be in trouble before, but the situation changed and his weakness turned out to be him!
It’s really a blessing and a curse, there are unforeseen circumstances...
Concubine Yan was not interested in Han Fei's self-expression. Seeing that he understood the situation, she nodded slightly and said, "It's good that the ninth master understands. I'll take my leave."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Han Fei's reaction.
When Han Fei saw this, he could only swallow back the words on his lips and returned to the room with a wry smile.
No matter what problems there will be tomorrow, anyway...he has nothing to do. After coming to Xianyang, he truly realized the feeling of being at his wits' end. Apart from chatting with his junior brother, he had nothing to do every day. He had nowhere to borrow strength and nothing to do.
Apply force everywhere.
He should just drink honestly.
Du Kang is the only one who can relieve worries!
………………
More than a thousand miles away from Xianyang, outside Songhai City in Jimo County, Qi State, there was also a group of carriages and horses on their way.
Of course, the scale and level of this team of carriages and horses cannot be compared with Qi Wangjian's team, but the shape of the carriages is quite elegant and has profound etiquette.
This team comes from Songhai City, Confucian Little Sage Village.
There are only two main members in the team, and the others are insignificant passers-by.
These two people are Fu Nian, the current head of Xiaoshengxian Village, and his junior brother, Yan Lu.
Yan Lu had previously begged Fu Nian to go to Xianyang himself.
Due to the constraints of various parties, Fu Nian has never been able to handle this matter well.
Today, arrangements have finally been made for the two brothers to travel to Xianyang as officially invited by the Qin State.
This matter is related to Fusu. He has always been interested in Confucianism, but after being mentioned by Gu Xun before, he felt that many of the ideas of Dr. Chun Yuyue who taught him were too...conservative.
After all, he was still just a child, and his mind was inevitably a little out of touch. He wanted to know more about Confucianism, so he...
Ying Zheng was very lenient towards him. After learning about the child's idea, he didn't say anything and arranged for someone to contact Xiaoshengxian Village, hoping that this Confucian holy land could send some Confucian masters to Xianyang for academic exchanges.
After Fu Nian got the news, they naturally hit it off immediately and immediately agreed to the matter. He personally went out and took Xiaoyan Lu with him, and also invited a few knowledgeable uncles and juniors to set off.
In fact, this matter has been decided for some time, but Fu Nian has not yet made the move.
The reason is naturally the dishonest and bold King of Qi, King Qi Wangjian.
Fu Nian considered what he said when he discussed this matter with his uncle last time, and felt that it was not appropriate to leave before Qi Wangjian left Qin's territory.
During this period of time, the Qin State's main focus must be on Qi Wangjian, and there would inevitably be oversights in taking care of their brothers. In order to ensure safety, he waited a little longer.
Until now, he was calculating the speed of Qi Wangjian's return to the country, and estimated that it was almost time, so he packed everything and set off.
On the way, they controlled the speed and kept it as low as possible. They also visited more places, took a trip to Qufu, climbed Mount Tai and so on. They could almost go in and out of Qin like King Jian of Qi, and they would have a seamless connection.
Anyway, Fu Nian’s calculations were detailed enough, and he tried not to waste time, making this trip to Qin worthwhile.
