Suddenly hearing such an answer, Zi Nu and Nong Yu couldn't help but open their lips slightly, looking shocked.
After a moment of delay, Zi Nu asked with a complicated expression, "How did you know that Jing Ke's junior sister was pregnant?"
Gu Xun quickly raised his hands and clarified, "This really has nothing to do with me!"
Nongyu couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Zi Nu rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Seriously."
Gu Xun shrugged, "It's just a guess. If there's a reason, it's probably that the pregnant Gongsun Li is more useful to the Yin Yang family."
Based on the plot in his own memory, Gu Xun judged that what the Yin and Yang family really needed was Jing Ke and Gongsun Li's child, who was Tianming.
Hmm...just like Princess Gaoyue.
Zi Nu couldn't help but frown when she heard this answer, "Why is this Yin Yang family so unruly?"
"And the King of Qin, who forced a married woman into a pregnant woman, is more obscene than you?"
"...Haha." Gu Xun didn't want to speak.
Nongyu was covering her mouth and laughing.
Gu Xun shook his head helplessly, pretending not to hear the last few words of Zi Nu's words, "After all, it's just to achieve what you want. Although it's ridiculous, there's nothing to say."
"You don't need to pay too much attention to this matter."
"You don't want to ask about this matter?" Zi Nu asked curiously, "The Mo family has some friendship with you, right? And Jing Ke, I'm already familiar with you, so you just look at me like this?"
Gu Xun hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head, "I don't care."
"Let the Mo family handle matters on their own."
Looking at Gu Xun who looked relieved, Zi Nu asked doubtfully, "You look like this...what have you figured out?"
Gu Xun smiled and nodded, "Well... I finally thought about the candidate for the master of the Qingguang Sword."
At this time, Nongyu, the master of the Whirlwind Sword, couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Who is it?"
"Let's wait until everything is settled." Gu Xun didn't answer, he just gave it a try and took the opportunity to rub Nong Yu's little head.
Originally, he expected to have two choices for the master of the Green Light Sword, one of which was Jing Ke.
But just now, he gave up the choice of Jing Ke.
This also means that he gave up interfering in Li Ji's affairs and just sat back and watched the tragedy of Jing Ke and his sister.
Gu Xun has already sabotaged the actions of the Yin and Yang family one after another. If he continues to interfere with Li Ji's affairs, I am afraid that the Yin and Yang family will encourage Ying Zheng to completely fall out with him.
It's not a good thing to make yourself uncomfortable for nothing.
As for the tragedy of Jing Ke... Everyone born in this era is helpless. There are many people with more miserable life experiences than him. Gu Xun does not have so many unnecessary kindness.
As for the relationship with the Mo family, it is even more unnecessary.
He is destined to become enemies with various schools of thought - especially Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism and Taoism.
The next three people were speechless for a while.
Zinu Nongyu is not a living Buddha with a Bodhisattva heart, and has no objections to Gu Xun's choice to sit back and ignore it. However, hearing that such a tragedy is about to happen around her makes her unavoidably sad for a moment.
Her jade-like ten fingers couldn't help but pluck the strings again, and a slightly sad song "Birds Facing the Phoenix" sang out.
Before they finished talking about the song, Xiao Hongyu, wearing a yellow skirt, walked into the flower hall and timidly said to Gu Xun:
"Sir, the Imperial Prefecture has received a letter saying it is for you and has been delivered here."
After saying that, Hongyu stepped forward and handed Gu Xun an envelope.
Gu Xun reached out to take the thing and touched Hong Yu's head, "Well, you go and play."
Hong Yu glanced at Gu Xun and wanted to retort that she was not playing anymore, but she still didn't dare to speak. She saluted Zi Nu and ran away.
Gu Xun ignored the child's thoughts, lowered his head, tore off the wax paint, took out the letter and started reading it.
There was not much content on the paper, so Gu Xun read it quickly, and then threw it away, and the paper flew out along the crack of the window, then spontaneously ignited without fire, and turned into ashes before falling into the river. p>
Seeing that Gu Xun didn't read the letter to her, Zi Nu knew that it was probably something that had nothing to do with them, but she still asked more:
"What happened?"
Gu Xun pursed his lips, "Well...it's a trivial matter, it's a favor."
Zi Nu blinked her eyes and smiled lightly, "It's strange that you still owe people favors."
Gu Xun spread his hands, "There are always some special circumstances."
"But it's nothing big, just doing a small favor for the other party."
"Need our help?"
"No need." Gu Xun shook his head, "I can handle it by myself."
………………
In mid-November, winter in Xianyang has completely arrived.
Although there is no sign of snow yet, the temperature has turned completely cold, and the cold winter wind is howling on this land.
Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides. For now, this applies to all creatures living on this land, and humans are no exception.
The streets of Xianyang are a lot deserted, and the business of places such as Zilanxuan Anxiang Pavilion has also dropped a lot.
In this kind of weather, no matter whether they are wealthy businessmen, nobles, or ladies, they are more willing to stay at home and hold the heater.
But just this month, two minor things happened in Xianyang Palace.
One is the birth of Qin Wangzheng’s eighteenth son. He was born with different pupils, with his left eye icy blue and his right eye golden. He seemed to be deeply loved by the king and named him Hu Hai.
Secondly, King Qin Zhengxin admitted a concubine into the palace and named her Concubine Li. According to legend, her story is very mysterious, but she was highly regarded for her beautiful scenery and she was the best in terms of application, but... she looked haggard all day long.
, looking worried and incomprehensible.
In the eyes of the unintentional, these two pieces of news are not a big deal.
It’s gratifying to have a new prince born, but he’s already the eighteenth, so... that’s it.
As for the multiple concubines who have no backing, they are even less worth mentioning. They are even less valuable than princes.
But in the eyes of those who are interested, it is completely different.
Let’s put Hu Hai aside for now, as there are still too few people paying attention to him.
But the entry of Concubine Li, or Gongsun Li, into the palace has affected the minds of many people.
For example, the chief swordsmanship instructor and personal guard of the King of Qin, Guigu Zongjian Gai Nie.
He went to the palace where Concubine Li lived more than once to investigate and confirm his suspicions, but this also disturbed his mood. For the first time, he had... let's call it doubts about the monarch he chose.
However, Gai Nie is Gai Nie after all. Apart from occasionally using some of his energy to pay attention to Li Fei, he did not show any abnormality and remained as taciturn as ever.
A few days after this, the Mo family in Jicheng, the capital of Yan, thousands of miles away, also received the news.
Everyone in the Mo family immediately confirmed that Concubine Li was the kidnapped Gongsun Li.
Although they don't understand why Gongsun Li suddenly became the concubine of King Qin, the information sent back by the Mohist disciples hiding in Xianyang when they were almost completely wiped out will not be wrong.
