After Gu Xun chatted with Jingyu in the garden for a while, he left.
After wandering around the mansion twice more, I found that Mingzhu and Yan Lingji were not there, so I wandered towards the east cross courtyard where Han Fei was.
I went to the flower hall to look for him, and he was indeed there, drinking alone.
Gu Xun couldn't help but shook his head, "It's time for you to control your diet."
"Oh! Brother Gu, are you back?" Han Fei suddenly raised his head when he heard Gu Xun's voice, and greeted with a hint of surprise, "Come here, sit down and have a drink."
Gu Xun looked at his half-drunk appearance, shook his head helplessly again, then walked over and sat down, "Are you going to pretend you didn't hear what I said?"
"Hiccup!" Han Fei let out a wine belch, raised his hand and said, "It's not that I don't listen, but Brother Gu, this wine is indispensable, otherwise you might as well kill me directly!" "You...forget it!" Gu Xunqi smiled and extended his hands to point at each other, but in the end he could only put it down and changed the subject, "How is it in the court?"
Seeing Gu Xun talking about business, Han Fei shook his head and cheered up, "In the court, just as we expected, after you left, Brother Gu, I became a living target and was criticized in various ways.
”
"Well, it seems that Ying Zheng kept his promise to me." Gu Xun nodded, turned over the cup, and poured himself a glass of wine.
When Han Fei heard this, he responded in a low tone, "Although King Qin did not attack me, but...his attitude and thoughts have obviously changed."
Gu Xun paused while drinking, "Are you sure?"
Han Fei rolled his eyes, "The palace of King Qin is deep, but after all, I am a person, and my emotions cannot be completely hidden, let alone when they are directed at me."
"Well..." Gu Xun put down his wine glass and suggested, "Then you should stop jumping around and stay in my house honestly."
This time Han Fei did not refute Gu Xun as usual and said that he could not do nothing.
Ying Zheng's attitude changed, and Han Fei understood that his last hope was gone.
Of course, before, he was just trying in vain without giving up, but now he has finally reached a conclusion.
The overall situation has been decided, what can be done?
Shaking his head, Han Fei's drunken eyes flashed with helplessness or sadness, and then he smiled and replied, "Then why don't I just go back to South Korea?"
Gu Xun looked at his friend who was pretending to be drunk even though he was not drunk. He ruthlessly exposed the false dream and bluntly said the reality, "Can you still go back?"
Han Fei stopped stroking the wine glass, raised his head slightly, and stared blankly.
Can he still go back?
Of course he can't go back!
"Ying Zheng will not allow a great talent not to be used by Qin, and Han Wangan will not allow you, an abandoned son who was thrown out by him to appease Qin, to return to his homeland."
"Han Fei, where can you go?"
A wordless silence spread between the two. After a moment, Han Fei showed his heartless smile again:
"Haha, Brother Gu, you are too serious."
"This is the road, as long as you are willing to walk it, the world is big and you can always walk it."
Gu Xun didn't accept his gag, and waved his hand and said, "Those are all dead ends, dead ends."
"After leaving the Imperial Master's Office, do you think Ying Zheng will let you go, or your junior brother will let you go, or the Yin Yang family will let you go?"
Han Fei scratched his head, "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed that I was inexplicably remembered by so many people."
Gu Xun sighed softly, "I know it's hard for you, but Han Fei, you must know that manpower is sometimes poor, so please calm down."
Han Fei suppressed the inappropriate smile on his face and asked after a moment of silence, "Brother Gu, what should you do if I stay here?"
"Such a huge pressure, Brother Gu, can you withstand it even if you have the title of National Master?"
"...As long as I'm here, there will be no problem." Gu Xun pondered for a moment, pursed his lips and replied, "As long as you settle down, there should be no more trouble with Ying Zheng. As for Li Si and the Yin Yang family...
To be honest, they must be honest when I am here, but if I leave Xianyang, it will be difficult to ensure that they will not have evil intentions."
Gu Xun had a clear plan in mind.
The Yin and Yang family pride themselves on being favored by Ying Zheng. Although they dare not openly go against themselves, they like to make small moves and play some tricks that are already done and have no solution.
As for Li Si, who is obsessed with power, he cannot stand being deceived by others and can easily be deceived.
With greed, smart people will instantly turn into the stupidest idiots, and then do the most irrational and stupid things.
After hearing this, Han Fei smiled and said, "So it's best for me to leave."
"Qin can't stay, and South Korea can't go back. Aren't there still Zhao, Wei, Qi and Chu? If not, there are still Liaodong, Longxi, and Lingnan..."
Gu Xun glanced at him coldly, "Han Fei, don't force yourself to be a fool for your own obsession!"
"...This is my business, Brother Gu. It has nothing to do with you and I shouldn't involve you." Facing the somewhat annoyed Gu Xun, Han Fei shook his head and replied.
Gu Xun curled his lips and asked, "If you and I were swapped, Han Fei, what would you do?"
"...This assumption makes no sense." Han Fei paused for a moment before replying in a dumbfounded voice.
"That's it, I'm too lazy to argue with you." Gu Xun waved his hand and stood up, "If you treat me as a friend, then you should also be considerate of my feelings."
"If you can't get over the hurdle of Korea, then you will be a wealthy and idle person for the rest of your life. If you can get over it... then your life will still be long, and you can try another path."
After Gu Xun left a last meaningful word, he waved his sleeves and left.
He really made Han Fei's stubborn temper very angry.
Han Fei watched Gu Xun leave the flower hall, and couldn't help but think about the meaning of the so-called "other way"...
………………
The days after that were very peaceful. Gu Xun finally had some free time. His daily life was not interesting, but very fulfilling.
Including but not limited to, occasionally opening a clinic to receive patients, taking children to enjoy the mountains and rivers, going to the romantic place (Purple Orchid Pavilion) to order a girl to accompany him to dinner and harassing the boss's wife, asking Concubine Yan to dinner as a thank you for her help, and guiding Nong Yu to improve. Martial arts and so on...
But in his free time, all countries are not at peace.
Yan Guo was finally beaten by Pang Nuan and retreated crying. King Yan Xi once again had his ambition dampened by others.
However, it is a pity that the end of the war with the Yan State did not alleviate the tense situation in the Zhao State much, because Pang Nuan, an old general in his seventies or eighties, finally couldn't stand the old age and was unable to continue to lead the army.
The State of Zhao has freed up some of its troops, but unfortunately there is no one to lead them - of course, if you want to forcefully select one of the so-called generals who are strong and mentally disabled in the Zhao State's court, there is no problem. Anyway, they just fight and don't care about winning.
There are several "deputy generals" around Li Mu who were specially arranged by Zhao Wangqian after he went south because he was worried that he would lose energy in supporting the army alone!
No matter what they do, they will be number one if they hold them back.
