With Gongsun Li's sleep and Gu Xun's departure, this gorgeously decorated dormitory fell into silence.
After Gu Xun gave those palace ladies a few words, he left the palace.
When he was about to leave Xianyang Palace along the palace wall path, a man came over.
Gai Nie, wearing a white shirt, appeared not far in front of Gu Xun.
Gu Xun looked at the visitor and smiled, "I haven't seen you since the Lao'ai rebellion, but I did meet you again today."
Gai Nie nodded to Gu Xun and replied, "Gai, as the king's bodyguard, cannot stay away from him for leisure. I hope the Imperial Master will forgive me."
Gu Xun couldn't help but waved his hand, "What can I forgive you for saying this?"
"It's rare that you have free time to find me today. Is it because of Concubine Li?"
"...Not bad." Gai Nie admitted, "The national preceptor has superb medical skills. I wonder... is Concubine Li in serious trouble?"
"She's fine. She's just terrified. I think you understand why." Gu Xun replied, spreading his hands.
"..." Gai Nie was silent for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say. In the end, he just said with a little emotion, "That's good."
Gu Xun looked at Gai Nie, who had a complicated look on his face, and asked playfully, "It seems that you are not quite able to accept her entry into the palace?"
The words were somewhat ambiguous, and uninformed bystanders would probably think that there was some emotional entanglement between King Qin’s chief swordsmanship instructor and the newly named Concubine Li.
Gai Nie knew that Gu Xun didn't mean what he said - of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the other party was deliberately making fun of him - so he didn't go out of his way to correct him, but just asked:
"I wonder if the Imperial Master can explain to Gai why...she was brought into the palace?"
Gai Nie, like everyone else in the Mo family, was very puzzled as to why Gongsun Li became Qin’s target and even became a concubine.
Regarding this question, Gu Xun's answer was the same as when he met Gongsun Li before, "I can only say that the answer is very complicated, and I still don't know some of the details."
"I think you also know something about the transaction between Ying Zheng and the Yin Yang family, so I don't need to say more."
"But..." Gu Xun changed the subject and gave a reminder, "One thing I can tell you is, don't think about saving people for the time being."
Gai Nie's unwavering eyes stared at Gu Xun closely. After a moment of silence, he replied, "Gai did not mean this."
Has he ever thought about saving people?
Of course there is, but he will not implement it because there is no possibility of success. Doing it rashly will only make Gongsun Li's situation worse.
"I know that as a high disciple of the Guigu Sect, I don't think you will do such stupid things that you know you can't do." Gu Xun nodded, and then made another twist, "But when you think there is something you can do.
, that may not be the case."
"Gongsun Li is trapped in Xianyang Palace. The Mo family will not sit idly by. When they come to rescue people, can you still stand by and watch with cold eyes?"
Facing Gu Xun's question, Gai Nie lowered his eyes and did not respond.
But Gai Nie knew in his heart that if he felt that the Mo family had the possibility of rescuing people, then it would be inevitable for him to help.
He followed Ying Zheng and assisted Ying Zheng, but his goals were always different from Ying Zheng and the civil and military officials above the Qin court.
What the latter wants is civil and military skills and imperial hegemony, but he is not.
What he pursues is far more than that.
He can understand and accept the death of a general who has achieved great success, but he cannot accept that a woman, a pregnant woman, became a victim, and it was because of a boring and ridiculous dream.
Gai Nie didn't reply, and Gu Xun didn't care. He continued to talk to himself, "I can tell you in advance that no matter how likely the Mo family is to succeed, this rescue operation is doomed to fail."<
/p>
Hearing this, Gai Nie reacted, raised his head slightly, looked at Gu Xun and asked, "Because... the national preceptor will take action?"
Gu Xun shrugged and said with a smile, "Excluding my factor, what are the chances of the Mohist family's success?"
"The fact that the Yin Yang family was able to catch the Moh family off guard in Jicheng does not mean that the Moh family can do the same in Xianyang."
"A dragnet that penetrates every hole."
"Although I don't like snares, there is no doubt about the strength of this organization."
"The Mohist family has no chance."
Gu Xuncao told the reality with a very regretful tone.
Want to avoid the trap in Qin’s territory?
It's not impossible, provided the other party doesn't target you.
Once it is listed as the top priority target in the net, it is almost impossible to hide Qin's mainland, not to mention other countries, and the closer it is to Xianyang, the more impossible it is.
Gai Nie remained silent, not commenting on this.
"Why did the Imperial Master and Gai say these things?"
Why did Gu Xun come to kindly remind me?
Ge Nie asked himself that his relationship with him should not be that close.
Gu Xun pursed his lips and said in a measured tone, "When you are angry, the princes will be afraid, but when you live in peace, the world will rest. This sentence is certainly an exaggeration, but it is enough to illustrate the fact that you and Wei Zhuang are the most outstanding geniuses in the world.
”
"Gu is just a martial artist. In terms of martial arts, if you and Wei Zhuang are combined to double it, it's not enough for me, but in other aspects, you are stronger."
Gai Nie didn't know whether Gu Xun's words were considered as praise or criticism, but he didn't know why, "What do you mean by the national master?"
"I hope you can help me teach Fusu."
"In this case, for the sake of Fusu, you'd better not have anything to do with the Mo family."
Gu is looking for Gai Nie to be a substitute teacher for Fusu. There is no need to sell him a favor first, but he just doesn’t want Gai Nie to leave some stain because of this matter, thus affecting Fusu.
"Huh!?" Gai Nie was shocked when he heard this. It was actually for the eldest son. He was thinking about it now...
After retracting the divergent thoughts in his mind, Gai Nie did not agree to Gu Xun's request, but declined politely, "Gai Nie has no right to decide on the matter of educating the eldest son. It should be decided by the king."
Gu Xun waved his hand nonchalantly, "I am his teacher. It is up to me to decide how to educate him."
"I'm not asking you to be his teacher, I'm just giving guidance. If King Qin has any objections, just blame it on me."
"...What does the Imperial Master want me to teach the eldest son?" Gai Nie did not refuse directly again, but asked rhetorically.
Gu Xun pondered for a while and then replied, "There is nothing to say about astronomy, geography, military tactics, and strategy. What I really hope you can teach him is the most basic and important thing for you politicians - decision-making."
"Fusu's character is somewhat indecisive, which is very important to him."
In Gu Xun's view, after all, the emperor could not do everything himself. More often than not, his ministers would give the solution, and the emperor would make the choice.
Therefore, the ability to find the most suitable option - that is, judgment, and the ability to make timely choices - that is, decisiveness, are the most critical.
At this point, politicians undoubtedly have the most say.
