Hearing Ying Zheng call his name, Gai Nie, who had been standing with his eyes closed as if he was asleep and had not heard the conversation between Ying Zheng and Donghuang Taiyi just now, finally opened his eyes.
Although he tried his best to keep clear of the plans of Ying Zheng and the Yin Yang family, since Ying Zheng asked him, he would not be vague and perfunctory, and replied in a deep voice:
"I feel that if we deal with it this way, the Imperial Master may not accept it when he comes back."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and did not refute this. He just asked, "Do you think Mr. Gai will get better results if you wait for him to come back or call him back now?"
"This...may not be true." Ganie hesitated and replied uncertainly.
Although Gu Xun usually looks normal, his attitude towards life is even friendly - although he only targets people he is willing to be friendly to, he is full of pride in his bones and is unwilling to accept being manipulated by others.
Gai Nie saw many people like this - his current master Ying Zheng, his junior brother Wei Zhuang, and even himself were all like this, but he usually behaved modestly and restrained.
This type of people will not take a step back when facing things they care about.
For example, the great cause that Ying Zheng pursues, Wei Zhuang's persistent victory, or the kind of world that he himself longs for.
As for Gu Xun, in Gai Nie's opinion, the simplest thing he cares about is people.
But because of this, whether you choose to strike first and then show off, or choose to negotiate with others, it may be difficult to get a result that satisfies both parties.
All in all, it’s a dilemma.
The reason why Gai Nie favored Gu Xun in his initial answer was because he, like Gu Xun, strongly disagreed with Ying Zheng's pursuit of immortality.
He rejects such nonsense even more than Gu Xun.
Because of this, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Ying Zheng should not have a quarrel with Gu Xun because of Dongjun.
Ying Zheng already knew what he thought about Gai Nie, so he didn't ask any more questions.
As for whether he will give up his previous plan?
Obviously impossible.
He is the king of Qin, and he will naturally try to take into account the emotions of people who are useful to him, but only as much as possible without affecting him.
Gu Xun is indeed useful to him, but that's it.
Not to mention Gu Xun, even those capable ministers and generals who opened up the territory for Qin and made great achievements in battle, they had to give in to him, the King of Qin, on this matter.
As the saying goes, royal power is supreme.
Seeing that Ying Zheng stopped talking, Gai Nie sighed secretly in his heart, and his figure gradually disappeared again.
He feels that if this matter develops, it may not go as Ying Zheng wants.
………………
After Donghuang Taiyi rushed back to the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital from Zhangtai Palace, he also received an urgent letter from the Moon God and knew what the situation was.
He was naturally disappointed that Yueshen and others failed to capture Concubine Yan on the spot, but he did not get too hung up on unnecessary emotions, and immediately began to arrange the next actions.
Mainly divided into two parts:
One is to arrange for people to keep an eye on Yan Dan and judge based on the results of the next actions. If the plan cannot be restarted in a short time, first find a way to give Yan Dan a reasonable 'result' - for example, Feiyan failed
Escape from the encirclement and suppression of the Yin Yang family and die - thus temporarily ending the current plan and waiting for the next step.
Secondly, of course, we need to send more manpower to capture Concubine Yan as quickly as possible.
In this regard, the Yin and Yang family, which has already received Ying Zheng's reply, can additionally rely on the power of the net. Logically speaking, Concubine Yan alone cannot escape for long.
After making detailed plans and arrangements, Donghuang Taiyi dispatched most of the remaining disciples to reinforce Yueshen and others.
At present, the Yin Yang family no longer has high-level combat power, only ordinary disciples.
Concubine Yan defected, Yueshen took Shao Siming, and Mrs. Xiang pursued her. Now Xiangjun is responsible for secretly monitoring Yandan's movements. Yunzhongjun is just an alchemy machine and cannot be of much help with other things.
As for Da Siming... Gu Xun came here before. Da Siming made him unhappy because of the last assassination in the Yellow River. In addition, Da Siming was injured because he needed to act to deceive Yan Dan. He was temporarily paralyzed in bed. He probably didn't have a baby.
It will not return to normal levels in three or two months.
After discovering that Donghuang Taiyi had no one available for him for the time being, his thoughts couldn't help but wander - the vacant Star Soul position should almost have an owner.
This thought only floated for a moment, and he put it aside temporarily. The most concerning thing at the moment was Concubine Yan's affairs.
………………
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The news of Yan Dan's escape and return to the country has spread, but due to limited communication channels and the fact that the Qin State is not yet in a hurry to hold Yan State accountable for this matter, the spread is not very fast and is mainly still spreading within the Qin State.<
/p>
As for the Six Kingdoms of Shandong and even the Kingdom of Yan, only the senior officials in power know about it.
When this kind of thing happened, the other five countries would naturally sit back and wait to see the show, while King Yan was shocked and angry, not understanding what kind of monster his good prince was.
Because the Yan Dan people have not returned yet, the Qin State has not held anyone accountable, and the details are still half-understood. King Yan Xi did not respond, but silently pretended not to know, planning to wait for Yan Dan to return to the country to discuss it later.<
/p>
The day after Yan Dan escaped, Gu Xun received a secret letter from Mo Ya, learned everything and got a satisfactory result.
He wrote two replies to Mo Crow, one was not for him, and the other was not for him either...
These two letters were what he asked Mo Ya to pass on to others. As for Mo Ya himself, he no longer needed to give instructions on what to do and how to do it. He believed that Mo Ya was more experienced than him.
At the same time as him, Zhang Han also received a secret letter from Ying Zheng, which instructed him to strengthen monitoring of Gu Xun and report their movements to Xianyang more frequently.
Because they wanted to hide it from Gu Xun, both Luo Weng and the Yin Yang family tried their best to cover up the noise they had caused, and Zhang Han was unable to know what kind of inside story was hidden in it.
However, he could guess from the surface exposure of Yan Dan's private escape back to China that the inside story was very deep and he probably couldn't grasp it.
As the leader of an espionage unit, he is keen on valuable intelligence, but he also knows that it is best not to know some things, so he just needs to do his job honestly.
Although Gu Xun didn't notice any changes in Zhang Han's attitude or behavior, he knew in his heart that Ying Zheng must have some arrangements for him.
But it doesn't matter. There are only so many things that Zhang Han can do over and over again, and nothing can be changed.
After that, Gu Xun accelerated his pace. Although it couldn't be called a hurry, at least it wasn't as fast as a turtle.
More than ten days passed by in a blink of an eye. Gu Xun and Zhang Han also successfully traveled south via the old road, crossed the Bao River and arrived at Nanzheng City, the seat of Hanzhong County.
At the same time, under the dual pursuit of Luo Wang and the Yin Yang family, Concubine Yan crossed a section of the Qinling Mountains where Taiyi Mountain is located and approached the location of Nanzheng City.
