After hearing what he said, Gu Xun shrugged and continued, "Your father's mind is still very clear most of the time. He knows a little bit whether Zhao Gao is paying some attention to something he shouldn't." p>
"Isn't it normal to hand over the Shadow Guard to you as a check and balance to prevent the trap?"
Han Fei played with the wine glass and added, "The reason why the emperor gave up handing over the Shadow Guard to you a few years ago is also because you have left Xianyang, the strongest power in the empire, and came to Shangjun, entering the quicksand.
Within the scope of protection, the support of the Shadow Guard is no longer needed."
"Now that you are going back again, it is reasonable to bring this up again."
"But..." Fusu frowned and said in confusion, "With the existence of quicksand, I still don't particularly need the Shadow Guard?"
At this time, Zhang Han, who had officially joined the eldest son's faction, entered the role very quickly, and his words began to have no inhibitions. He answered bluntly, "Perhaps... it is precisely because the presence of quicksand is so strong that I need you more, sir."
The allegiance of the Shadow Guard."
"Ah..." Fusu was speechless for a moment.
Power does not need checks and balances all the time. He knows this very well, but because of Gu Xun, he will not guard against quicksand.
Gu Xun and Han Fei didn't mind Zhang Han's confession, especially Han Fei, who even said in support, "You really need to pay attention to this, Master."
"Quicksand is quicksand, and brother Gu is brother Gu. After all, the two cannot be counted as one individual."
Mo Ming received a lesson, and Fu Su had to smile bitterly and said, "Fu Su understands."
Gu Xun did not join in to educate Fusu together, but stretched out, squinted his eyes and said lazily, "Fusu, you are leaving tomorrow, right?"
"Well, this is the plan, and my father also specially urged it." Fusu nodded and replied.
"Then I'll leave tomorrow." Gu Xun cheered up and said calmly.
When Han Fei heard this, he immediately felt unhappy and drank the wine in his glass. "In this case, am I the only one left in the vast Northland?"
"Uh..." Gu Xun thought for a moment and smiled, "How could that be?"
"You still have many friends, such as... Xiao He, Cao Shen, and even Sima Shang and Li Zuoche. They are all in Beidi."
"Ha!" Han Fei twitched the corner of his mouth with a smile, "It's a pity that they either don't have time to drink with me, or they don't want to drink with me. They are all boring."
Gu Xunyi shrugged and retorted, "I think part of the reason lies with you. You squeezed them too hard."
As a standard Legalist leader, Han Fei's principle is to expand the monarch's power without limit and squeeze officials to death.
To put it bluntly, as a leader, Fusu can fish as he pleases, but the officials under him must always be diligent.
In a different era and different character backgrounds, Han Fei could be considered an old licker.
"Ha!" Han Fei smiled disdainfully and did not respond.
Just kidding!
How can you do this without squeezing such useful human resources? Can you maximize their effectiveness without squeezing them?
Seeing this, Gu Xun was too lazy to talk nonsense with Han Fei and asked Zhang Han, "Has anything happened in the court in the past few days?"
Zhang Han shook his head, nodded again, and responded, "There are no big changes, but there are indeed some rumors."
"Oh?"
Gu Xun, Han Fei, and Fusu all looked at Zhang Han, waiting for his next words.
"There are rumors that His Majesty the First Emperor intends to send you, Prince Fusu, to Qilu to supervise local officials and prepare for the tour of Zen."
"Are you traveling to Qilu?" Fusu nodded slightly and said indifferently, "That's not bad. I happened to want to visit Xiaoshengxian Manor, a holy place of Confucianism, in person."
Gu Xun touched his chin and asked, "Since you raised this matter, you should think that this matter is basically confirmed, right?"
Zhang Han nodded, "As far as I know, I understand that it is indeed the case. Even the manpower of the Shadow Guards has gathered at the three counties of Jiaodong, Linzi and Langya under the secret order of His Majesty the First Emperor."
"But...it has not yet been determined when the order will be given."
When Zhang Han said the second half of his sentence, Gu Xun's open mouth immediately closed.
He was not surprised that Fusu went to Qilu first. He just wanted to know the specific time. Since Zhang Han didn't know, there was nothing to ask.
Gu Xun thought for a moment, then suddenly changed his words and asked, "Where is Gai Nie now?"
Han Fei spread his hands and said, "I don't pay much attention to this aspect. I only have information from almost half a month ago."
Fortunately, the empire is now pursuing Gai and Nie, and Zhang Han knows it very well.
He immediately replied, "Yesterday's intelligence showed that he and the child had already passed through the Taihang Mountains and were heading south along the old Zhao Great Wall. It is estimated that they planned to pass directly through Yangjun, Dongjun, close to the Jingchu area."<
/p>
"Oh?" Gu Xun was stunned, "It seems they don't plan to take a longer detour and go to Qilu."
Han Fei recalled the map in his mind and added, "This is normal."
"Gane has been completely entangled by the empire. It is not easy to deal with the waves of pursuers with a child. It is not a good thing to continue to blindly lengthen the route."
Zhang Han then added, "Because of His Majesty's patrol, Luo Wang is also shrinking his strength and sending to Qilu. The number of manpower chasing Gai Nie must have been reduced a lot."
"But as far as I know, Prime Minister Li seems to have picked up a man from the Tooth-gnawing Prison at the suggestion of Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, and went to hunt down Gai Nie."
Han Fei asked casually out of curiosity, "Who?"
"Master of Juque Sword, 'Black Swordsman' - Shengqi."
"Sheng Qi...that abandoned disciple of the farm family?" Han Fei, who didn't care much about Jianghu, thought about it carefully and said uncertainly.
"Yes." Zhang Han nodded, "In the past, Chen Sheng, the leader of the peasant family's Kuai Hall, was sentenced to death by sinking into the pond for killing his brother and humiliating his brother-in-law, but somehow he was lucky enough to survive."
"Since then, he has been challenging masters in various places. As a result, he has committed serious crimes in various countries. His body is engraved with the criminal inscriptions of the Seven Kingdoms. He has been thrown into the death row of the Seven Kingdoms many times, but he has always escaped. He is also known as Victory Seven.
From this."
"But the last time, he was defeated by the Sword Master Gai Nie and was thrown into the Empire's Fang Prison, from which he could never escape."
"Tooth-gnawing prison... Haha, it is indeed called the best prison in the world." Han Fei first praised the tooth-gnawing prison, and then said with a smile, "My junior brother is also good at playing. Sheng Qi was killed by Gai Nie back then.
He was captured and imprisoned without being able to escape, but now he lets Sheng Qi out to deal with Gai Nie."
"Gai Nie has really done something wrong."
At this time, Gu Xun smiled and interjected, "It doesn't matter whether Gai Nie has committed evil or not, Sheng Qi is a useful person."
"Oh?" Han Fei exclaimed curiously, but quickly responded, "Farmer... It seems that Sheng Qi's case back then is also worth pondering."
Han Fei doesn't know Jianghu, but Gu Xun said that this person is useful, so he must be useful.
How can an outcast from a farm family or an outcast involved in such an outrageous scandal be useful?
