Gu Xun was not embarrassed at all. He calmly took a mouthful of porridge and replied, "This is breakfast!"

"Who drinks porridge for lunch?"

"Then you took a long time to eat breakfast. You ate a full breakfast...two or three hours." Zi Nu teased again.

"Suck yo yo..." Gu Xun drank the rest of the porridge in one gulp, and while taking the bowl towards the kitchen, he replied, "Three meals a day should follow the person, not the person following the meal."

"Who stipulates that breakfast must be eaten in the morning? I think breakfast should be eaten within an hour after getting up."

"So many unreasonable theories!" Zi Nu couldn't help laughing and scolding.

After a while, Gu Xun came back, while Zi Nu sat waiting for him.

Seeing Gu Xun come back, she immediately got down to business, "Han Fei went to Songhai."

Gu Xun paused for a moment, then sat down immediately, nodded and replied, "Of course... no one can not go, but he can't."

Xunzi had many students in his life, and many of them were famous, but to say who he loved the most, it was none other than Han Fei.

The relationship between the two is truly like father and son. For Han Fei, who was born in a royal family and has not experienced much fatherly love, this relationship is even more precious.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang was destroyed, and Xunzi was buried and died. He was probably the most miserable person, and Zhang Liang and Yan Lu were probably not as sad as this.

For them, they lost their division and commander, but for Han Fei, he not only lost his division and commander, but also his 'father'.

"Aren't you afraid that he will do anything drastic?" Zi Nu asked softly.

"It doesn't matter whether it's too extreme or not." Gu Xun didn't care about this, "I have no right to interfere with his behavior... Didn't I interfere when you arranged for Xuan Jian to rescue people?"

Zi Nu laughed at first when she heard this, and then said with emotion, "I'm afraid Han Fei and Zhao Gao will fight to the death."

The order was given by the emperor, but it was Zhao Gao who executed it. The former, Han Fei, would most likely not expose it as lightly as he did before Korea's demise, and the latter would definitely not let it go.

"What's the big deal?" Gu Xun still didn't care, "It's just an insidious poisonous snake. Sooner or later, it will be in your hands. Anyone who wants to kill it can kill it."

"What about Ying Zheng?" Seeing this, Zi Nu asked Gu Xun what she thought was a difficult problem.

Gu Xun didn't care whether Zhao Gao lived or died. If Han Fei wanted to kill him, just let him kill him when the time was right.

But what about Ying Zheng’s?

How could he not care at all?

"Ying Zheng...if Han Fei can do it, let him do whatever he wants."

Contrary to Zi Nu's expectation, Gu Xun still didn't care much about it.

Because Ying Zhenghui died earlier than everyone expected, even if Han Fei wanted to take revenge on him, he might not be able to do it in time.

"You...really had a falling out with him?" Zi Nu asked in surprise.

"It's not about falling out." Gu Xun explained unhurriedly, "I just put aside the plot to help others and respect my personal destiny."

"Just like Han Fei, just like Zhang Liang, the difference is that I can save the death of both of them, but I can't save the death of Ying Zheng."

"Then you'll just keep eating like this and waiting to die?" Zi Nu asked again.

"First of all, this is not about eating and waiting to die, it is about enjoying life." Gu Xunxian defended himself, "I am also a man in his forties. Normally, it is time to enjoy his old age."

Based on the average life span of pre-Qin people, forty years is not considered low, and fifty years old is already known as knowing destiny.

However, the reason for the low life expectancy of people is that the mortality rate of infants and young children is too high. It does not mean that people die in their twenties and thirties, and they cannot be said to be old people at the age of forty.

But turning forty is indeed not far away from enjoying your old age.

Ordinary people, if their lives are safe, they will almost become grandfathers at the age of forty. When their grandchildren grow older, when they are almost fifty, it is time to rest.

Zinu rolled her eyes at him, raised her hand and touched Gu Xun's face, gently caressed her lover's still white face with her fingers, and murmured with a smile:

"I'm afraid not many people can believe that you are in your forties."

Gu Xun reached out and grabbed Zi Nu's hand, held it in his palm, and replied with a wry smile, "Do others believe it or not that I'm the same age?"

Even not counting the time in the Seven Swords World, Gu Xun is still this old. After all, he has lived in the Qin Shi World for more than 20 years.

"Then it's not time for you to enjoy your old age." Zi Nu replied with a smile, "Look at the Gong Gongs in the court, how many of them are younger than you?"

Gu Xun rolled his eyes, "Can it be the same?"

"They wish they could still 'shine' for the empire when they are ninety years old. I can't compare."

"But..." At this point, Gu Xun sighed slightly, "It's true that I haven't had time to relax yet. It's time to leave for Songhai in a few days."

"It's Sanghai again..." Zinu looked unhappy when she heard these two words, "It's really endless!"

"It's almost over. All the feasts in the world come to an end." Gu Xun comforted her.

"By the way, Black Qilin, how do you arrange it?" Zinu was too lazy to change the subject of Sanghai's bad debt and asked.

Gu Xun was stunned and asked in confusion, "What arrangements are there? Isn't he busy right now?"

"Are you going to let him keep pretending to be Yan'er in the house!?" Zi Nu looked at Gu Xun, also confused.

"Is there anything wrong? His disguise skills are the best in the world." Gu Xun replied with a smile.

"What a waste." Zi Nu shrugged, "Why let him do such a small thing? Just find someone who can disguise himself."

As the eldest daughter of the Imperial Preceptor and the eldest daughter of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, in the eyes of outsiders, Ayan always stayed close to home, and few people had the courage to run into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to spy on Gu Xun's family members.

So finding someone to pretend to be Ayan is actually a very simple matter, and it doesn't require much expertise.

Yingge, who pretended to be her before, was actually not very good at this kind of thing, but she never made any mistakes.

As the best disguise master in the world, Black Qilin is very useful in many situations. It is indeed a waste to be stuck in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion for such a trivial matter.

Gu Xun waved his hand, "Of course I know there is no need to use him, but the situation of the black unicorn is not right. There was a situation where it was out of control before."

"Out of control?" Upon hearing this, Zi Nu frowned immediately, "Do you know the reason?"

"Who knows?" Gu Xun shrugged, "You also know that that guy's birth was so weird that he can't even be considered a human being."

"If you really want to find a solution to the hidden danger, it's probably more reliable to ask Han Fei, but I can't think of it for the time being... and I think there's a good chance that he's also confused."

"So you just leave it in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to avoid any accidents?"

Gu Xun nodded, "After I leave, you ask Xuan Jian to keep an eye on him to avoid causing trouble."

"Okay..." Zi Nu nodded speechlessly.

………………

Late at night, in the East China Sea, the mirage is driving steadily on the dark ocean.

With the clear light cast by the moon in the sky, Xinghun, who was feeling gloomy, leaned on the edge of the deck and looked into the deep and dark place ahead.

He couldn't see anything, even the sea water could only see sporadic reflection waves.

But he wasn't here to see the scenery, but was thinking about what to do.

Turn back in time, or bite the bullet and move on?

This is a difficult question to decide.

Fortunately, soon he won't have to worry anymore.

While thinking, Xinghun suddenly discovered that the clear moonlight seemed to have disappeared, and he fell into a fog.

He suddenly woke up and looked around, only to find that the mirage was quickly being swallowed up by the thick fog.

It is normal for fog to form on the sea, but this fog seemed a bit too sudden, and... the visibility was too low!

Xinghun always felt something was wrong, so he didn't dare to waste a moment and quickly headed towards the main control cockpit of the mirage.

He felt that it was not that the ship was surrounded by fog, but that the ship was sailing into a fixed area of ​​fog.

The situation was unclear, so he had to ask the boat operator to stop temporarily, and he couldn't just jump in headlong.

………………

Exactly ten days after the mirage set sail.

The re-starting east patrol convoy has entered the territory of Langya County.

The destruction of Xiaoshengxian Manor was a deterrent, but not many people seemed to be truly frightened.

People from various schools of thought are still busy preparing to fight against the empire's book-burning order.

Some Confucian people were frightened, but not all, and not too many. The rest began to criticize the empire more violently.

The empire was also merciless and punished everyone who dared to speak out.

However, the methods are not as ruthless as those of Little Saint Xianzhuang, and they generally do not kill people unless there is extreme behavior.

Although this behavior temporarily suppressed Confucianism, it was ultimately unconvincing and could not solve the problem.

But Ying Zheng doesn't care. For him, being able to suppress him for a while is enough.

As time goes by, and as his eastward tour is completed, sooner or later these noises will completely disappear.

Ying Zheng's idea cannot be miscalculated. His patrol can indeed effectively suppress all chaos in the empire.

It's just that this kind of behavior only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. Not to mention drinking poison to quench thirst, it can be regarded as conservative treatment.

But these have little to do with Songhai's return to calm.
