Nine hundred and twentieth chapters catastrophe is imminent
"So, why didn't you and Chitaki go out together?"
In Xianyang City, on the banks of the Weishui River, in the small courtyard where Yan Fei lived, Gu Xun lazily slumped on a recliner, swaying and talking leisurely.
To this day, even though Chitaki spends most of her time living in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, she still lives alone outside and rarely goes near the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
Gu Xun didn't dare to say anything about this. After all, he is a scumbag. He only has the right to be picked on, but he has no qualifications to pick on others.
Concubine Yan, who was wearing a gorgeous gilt dress, glanced coldly at Gu Xun, who was comfortably basking in the sun, and replied in a bleak tone, "It's inappropriate for me to get in here when we juniors are playing around together."
."
Gu Xun's face froze, he scratched his head and smiled, "Haha, junior... also... that's right."
Sometimes when interpersonal relationships become complicated, seniority inevitably becomes a confusing and confusing issue.
Duan Murong is relatively close to the Mo family, and the one who has the best relationship with her is naturally Xue Nu, who is also a woman and is also related to Gu Xun.
However, after the two carefully discussed their birth dates, they found that Duanmu Rong was several months older than Xue Nu, so Xue Nu always called Duan Mu Rongrong sister...
Gu Xun and Nian Duan know each other as equals, so Duan Murong is naturally a generation behind him. Both A Yan and Qian Long call Duan Mu Rongrong sister.
Well... in short, we can only discuss it on its own terms.
Fortunately, in the past few years, Xue Nu, the core figure with awkward seniority, has been deliberately avoiding Gu Xun. The two have never met, but it will be hard to say in the future...
Seeing Gu Xun's unnatural performance, Concubine Yan blinked her narrow phoenix eyes a few times, and said meaningfully, "It seems that you encountered some interesting episodes during your trip to the west."
"Haha..." Gu Xun laughed a few times and replied confidently, "There are many episodes, but they are not interesting, and they should even be considered bad."
Concubine Yan walked up to Gu Xun and bent forward slightly. Even the loose and gorgeous palace skirt still showed some attractive curves because of this movement.
There was a hint of a smile on her lips, and she asked softly, "Really?"
Bad?
Based on her understanding of herself as a man, the worse the situation is, the more likely it is that she will have to do with women.
I have to say that a husband and wife are truly blessed every day. The person you sleep with understands the person you sleep with.
Looking up at the scenery in the sky, Gu Xun touched his nose in embarrassment and changed the topic, "By the way, when you stayed at Yin Yang's house before, you really never heard or read about Loulan, the God of War.
Information like that?"
Concubine Yan curled her lips in disdain, but did not ask any further questions. She straightened her body again and returned to tending the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
She had no interest in asking about Gu Xun's affairs outside, and it sounded like she was just trying to cause trouble for herself.
"I have said this several times, no!"
"But I learned another news recently."
Gu Xun clasped his hands on his abdomen, squinted his eyes, and directly told the news that Yan Fei mentioned in a low voice.
"Meng Tian will report on his duties when he returns home, right?"
Yan Fei nodded calmly, not surprised that Gu Xun guessed what she was going to say.
Beidi is now the most important base of Liusha. As the top local military and political officer, Meng Tian must grasp his movements immediately.
"You should know that it is not easy for the First Emperor to call Meng Tian back." Although she knew that Gu Xun didn't need it, Concubine Yan still reminded her.
Gu Xun didn't respond, just nodded.
It is common for Meng Tian to return to the capital to report on his duties. Even if Ying Zheng trusts him again, he cannot just leave him in the north and ignore him for several years. Otherwise, wouldn't he be waiting for others to rebel?
However, it was not time yet, and Ying Zheng hurriedly left Meng Tian and returned to the capital. It must not have been for a routine report on his work, but because he had other more important things.
So what would happen that would require Ying Zheng to go out of his way to bring his beloved back from the border?
The most straightforward and brainless guess is that Meng Tian intends to rebel, and Ying Zheng wants to deal with him.
But this is obviously impossible.
Apart from this, there are not many things that Ying Zheng needs to specifically find Meng Tian to do.
The empire is basically calm now. Although there are many anti-Qin forces, they are all dormant and recuperating, waiting for the opportunity. There is no need to specially transfer Meng Tian, a heavy general, to return to Guanzhong.
In other words, what Ying Zheng really needs is most likely not Meng Tian’s excellent ability.
If we exclude this point, the most likely possibility is that Ying Zheng needs a confidant whom he trusts enough to work for him in the future.
This matter is either very important and cannot allow any mistakes, or it is very sensitive and cannot allow the slightest bit of information to be spread.
Of course, it may be both, or it should be said that this is the most likely possibility.
"Where is Shushan...what are you going to do?" Concubine Yan asked directly.
That's right, when Ying Zheng recalls Meng Tian, the most likely target is the Fusang sacred tree in Shu Mountain.
This matter must be guaranteed to be foolproof, and... it must be as secretive as possible.
Although His Majesty the First Emperor's life ideal of pursuing immortality has been widely sung throughout the world...
Gu Xun closed his eyes completely and replied lazily, "Do nothing."
"No matter what? Where is your... confidante?" Concubine Yan asked with a half-smile.
Gu Xun's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he reminded him in as calm a tone as possible, "They are married and have daughters."
"So what, who isn't?" Yan Fei said to Gu Xun lightly, using a tone full of contradictions that was both dignified and frivolous.
She is the mother of a child, and so is she. Besides, even if she doesn't meet the requirements, the Amazing Salamander does, right?
Gu Xun sighed helplessly, opened his eyes and added, "My husband is still alive and well!"
"I don't care, just because I promised Ying Zheng not to interfere with his actions."
"As for what fate Shushan will face...it's not my turn to care."
What can he do?
Ying Zheng wants the Fusang tree, and he has promised not to stop it.
To save the people of Shushan?
It's not difficult, anyway, what Ying Zheng wants is just trees, and if people leave the trees and leave them alone, it will be safe.
The problem is that people have to listen to him!
It’s not like I haven’t tried to persuade you before. It’s clear that I want to live or die with the sacred tree, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
Concubine Yan suppressed the smile on her face, stopped joking, and asked in a serious tone, "Are you really planning to sit back and ignore it completely?"
"Of course you can't go back on what you promised." Gu Xun replied in a low tone.
Yan Fei turned around and asked with complicated eyes, "What...are you thinking about?"
"You are obviously dissatisfied with what Ying Zheng is doing now, why do you always hold back and watch indifferently?"
"You won't tell me because you are loyal to the empire, right?"
