On the beach of Songhai City, above the mirage of the giant ship.
The warm sunshine in the evening shines through the windows of the mirage room onto the wooden floor. This heat is enough to make people feel lazy.
However, since the mirage is docked lengthwise on the shore from north to south, only the west half of the ship can enjoy the sunshine at this time.
This is not bad either. Sunshine the east side in the morning and the west side in the afternoon. The light is sufficient and balanced, which can prevent the room from getting damp. It is better than standing still in the east-west direction.
In a certain room, the sunlight shines on a flat table, with several dishes of various side dishes placed on it. The portions of each are not large, but they are all good dishes with full color, fragrance and piping hot.
The smoke is getting hot.
The little Chitaki sat at the table obediently, eating the food in small bites.
This is her dinner.
Gu Xun sat on the other side, basking in the sun and watching his daughter eat.
He brought this meal here, packed it from an inn, and kept it warm throughout the whole process, which is extremely considerate.
Concubine Yan was sitting lazily on the bed with a book in her hand. She neither came over to eat nor paid any attention to Gu Xun.
Gu Xun ignored her and focused all his attention on his daughter.
"Chitaki, is the food delicious?"
Gu Xun smiled and talked to his daughter.
Xiao Qiantaki held the rice bowl and nodded gently, without saying anything, but the peripheral vision of his eyes glanced between his parents.
Although he is only a young girl and cannot truly understand the relationship between men and women, Chitaki can still tell that his parents seem to have had a little conflict recently.
She was not bothered by this, because this was not the first time in her memory that the two of them had conflicts.
When two people get along, it's not normal for them to have some verbal disputes.
She would also have some small quarrels when playing with her friends.
Anyway, they will reconcile soon, and Chitaki feels there is no need to worry about it.
However, although she didn't care about the conflicts between her parents, Chitaki didn't intend to get involved. She made up her mind to be a little transparent, able not to listen, not to look, not to speak.
Gu Xun didn't pay attention to his daughter's cold reaction, and continued, "This dish is made by the best cook of the Songhai generation, and can even be said to be the best cook of the Qilu generation."
"I told you before, I am the descendant of the cook Ding who Zhuangzi praised for his incredible skills."
Chitaki blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently again, but still said nothing.
Gu Xunquan thought that his daughter was just busy with the meal, and said with excitement, "Actually, it's best to cook and eat this dish right now, and many hard dishes are not convenient to pack, so they can only be eaten in dine-in. If you like to eat,
Why don't you go shopping with dad in the city tomorrow, and when dinner is ready, I will take you to his shop to eat ready-made food?"
This is Gu Xun's purpose, to bypass Yan Fei and take Qian Taki directly out of the mirage.
However, this little girl was unwilling to take Qiantaki away directly and said she wanted to follow her mother. Gu Xun had no choice but to think of some roundabout ways.
Qianlong didn't think much about Gu Xun's delicious food temptation method. He just shook his head and finally spoke:
"My mother told me to stay with her on the boat during this period and not to go anywhere."
When Gu Xun heard this rhetoric again, he suddenly became anxious, "Then...then...then you, then you can't just listen to your mother, you should also be considerate of your father and me!"
"You only know how to accompany your mother, but you know that your father also needs the company of his lovely little daughter!"
"Besides, what do you mean by staying on the ship all the time!" Gu Xun rolled his eyes and unscrupulously belittled this legendary giant ship that the First Emperor had high hopes for, "This broken ship looks big, and there is not even a living person left in it after walking empty for a long time.
We can't meet each other - not to mention that you two are still hiding, and you can't show your face when you see someone."
"The only place where you can have some fun is the weird mechanisms designed by the public losers or the Yin and Yang family, but they are quite dangerous and not suitable for a little girl like you."
"But...but..." Qiantaki glanced at his mother and whispered back, "But mother won't let me go with you!"
"Hey! I'm talking about you kid!" Gu Xun touched the back of her head, feeling like her head was about to make her angry.
It is said that a daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket to her father, but this girl is great, she is clearly a black-hearted cotton-padded jacket!
Yan Fei, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. She moved her eyes away from the book in her hand and glanced sideways at Gu Xun. Her tone was full of nobility and coolness:
"She was born after a ten-month pregnancy. Is there anything wrong with listening to my words?"
"Hey..." Gu Xun bared his teeth, touched his chin and smacked his mouth, speechless.
If you want to talk about this topic, then I really have nothing to say!
Finally, Gu Xun nodded helplessly, "Yu, it's good that you two can work together as mother and daughter."
"I have to leave first. Chitaki, just pack your things into the lunch box after you finish eating. I will take them away later."
After finishing speaking, Gu Xun disappeared without even waiting for a reaction from the mother and daughter.
Chitaki couldn't help but grinned as she thought about her father who was so angry that he ran away without a trace.
On the bed, Concubine Yan turned her attention back to the book and couldn't help but smile.
Chitaki caught a glimpse of her snickering mother. After a moment of hesitation, she summoned up the courage to ask, "Mom, why doesn't my father want me to stay on the boat with you?"
Concubine Yan heard this and replied softly without changing her face, "I'll tell you later, it's still early."
"Oh..."
………………
After leaving the mirage, Gu Xun raised his head and glanced at the sun that was gradually setting in the west. The sunlight was a bit dazzling, so he unconsciously raised his hand to cover it.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Yaren appeared behind Gu Xun, bowed his head:
"Mr."
"Well..." Gu Xun turned to look at him, and then walked slowly along the street where the flow of people had gradually reduced to zero, "How is it? What did you gain?"
Mo Ya did not answer in a hurry, but took two steps forward to follow Gu Xun and handed him a brand new bound book:
"This is a summary of all the intelligence collected by my subordinates about Madam Yanfei in the past three months. The follow-up investigation is still in progress, but it should be difficult to gain more, and the time consumed will also increase exponentially." p>
Gu Xun lowered his head and briefly flipped through the booklet. As expected, it was thin and contained very little content. Most of it was just nonsense describing daily life.
Without rushing to take a closer look, Gu Xun first asked Mo Ya, "Is there anything worth noting?"
"Well... as far as my personal opinion is concerned, maybe... just a little bit." Mo Ya responded calmly.
"Oh, tell me."
"In the past three months, except for the period when Mrs. Yanfei completely lost all traces, in the remaining time period where traces can be traced, the only special behavior of Mrs. Yanfei was about half a month before leaving Xianyang.
Yue, met privately with Mrs. Jingshao, Mrs. Zinu, and Mrs. Pearl."
Jing Salamander, Yan Fei, Zi Nu, Pearl.
These four people can be classified as sisters, whether according to the way of dividing modern harem online articles or the way of dividing the relationship between men and women today, even though they have no biological relationship.
But the four of them rarely see each other.
On the other hand, Yan Lingji, Hong Lian, and Nong Yu have no scruples. It doesn't matter who they meet. Of course, their relationships can still be good or bad.
Jing salamander almost never steps out of the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion, Zi Nu spends most of her time on the cruise ship of Zi Lan Xuan, Ming Zhu is busy researching spices every day to expand her business, Yan Fei lives alone in the small courtyard, and her daughter is masturbating at home.
It’s beautiful alone.
All of them maintain a stable state of well water and river water.
Every time they meet, it's either because of a pure accident or because of Gu Xun.
Obviously the latter is the majority, and any meeting caused by this reason will be made public.
But a few months ago, Concubine Yan actually met Zi Nu and the others in private without Gu Xun's knowledge... This is indeed very doubtful.
After Gu Xun thought about it for a while, he asked, "Are you sure it is Yan Fei who took the initiative to find Zi Nu and the others?"
"Well..." Mo Ya smiled awkwardly, then shook his head, "I'm not sure."
"In fact, this entire piece of information is not very accurate."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Gu Xun was stunned and stopped.
Mo Ya stood aside and explained with a smile, "You should know that no one dares to ask about the movements of the ladies. You don't even know about such private actions, and it is even less likely that other people will know."
"This news was actually obtained from Yingge by a subordinate."
"At that time, she unexpectedly discovered that several ladies might have had private meetings, but she did not dare to take the initiative to explore the secrets of the ladies. In the end, all she knew was a few clues that she accidentally discovered."
"This is not because my subordinates have recently begun to spy on Madam Yanfei's movements. She only told me after she found out."
"She didn't clearly see Yan Fei and others meeting privately?" Gu Xun confirmed after listening.
"Yes." Mo Ya nodded, "I just speculated based on those clues."
"Among them, she can be sure that only Madam Yanfei and Madam Zinu are involved. As for Madam Mingzhu and Madam Yanfei, it is pure speculation."
"She is also not sure whether the ladies really met in private, let alone whether they met in pairs or four together."
"But she can confirm that something did happen between the ladies in those days, and nothing happened again after that."
"Ah... I probably understand what you... uh, Ying Ge." Gu Xun opened his mouth, his expression very complicated, "So... if the guess is correct, what do these women want to do when they meet in private?" p>
After hearing this, Mo Crow silently shrank back and said nothing.
This question is definitely not for him.
Gu Xun really didn't expect Mo Ya to give him some guesses. He just said it subconsciously. In fact, he was pondering the answer on his own.
Could it be that the sisters suddenly felt shaky and cold, and wanted to stand up to push this stinky man away so that the sisters could live happily together?
It's not that big of a deal... In Gu Xun's impression, Zinu loves boxing, and she's the kind of person who simply scolds a stinky man. It's not so much boxing as it is a bickering between a couple.
Then what is it for?
From the perspective of cause and effect, Yan Fei’s current target can be said to be Canglong Qisu, so one of the four people suddenly became interested in Canglong Qisu, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to survive alone, so he persuaded the other three to join him?
Then who is the mastermind? Why did you suddenly become interested in Canglong Qisu, but you still refused to tell him and wanted to hide it from him?
It feels so awkward to reason backwards like this...
But thinking of this, Gu Xun thought of another thing - Jing Salamander also left Xianyang and disappeared. Could it be the same as Yan Fei?
If so, she should be hiding in Songhai City now... Where will she be hiding?
Then there are Mingzhu and Zinu. They seem to be silent and are still busy with their own business... Are they unwilling to get involved in this matter, or are they involved without knowing it?
There are so many things to deal with!
Why did one question suddenly turn into multiple questions!???
Gu Xun felt as if he had been infected by Ying Zheng, and he also suffered from a headache and a splitting headache!
He unconsciously raised his hand to press the center of his eyebrows, rubbing it gently, trying to let go of everything and calm the restlessness in his heart.
Seeing this, Mo Ya asked cautiously, "Sir, what's next for me..."
Gu Xun raised his other hand and waved it, "This matter... this matter is over for now. You don't need to worry about it anymore. Just continue with your previous work."
"My subordinates understand."
Gu Xun weakly shook his palms and no longer wanted to speak.
Mo Ya saw this and took the initiative to leave.
"My subordinates resign."
………………
It’s night in Songhai City.
The weather has been very good these days, especially at night, when the bright white moon hangs in the sky, which looks particularly pleasant, especially after Fusu ordered to reduce the number of flying mice in the sky.
At the same time, this abundant moonlight also provides excellent light for those night owls who stay up late at night.
Although after Fusu ordered a comprehensive reduction of the night curfew, as long as you are a little more careful, night tours will basically not be discovered, but lighting a fire will definitely not work.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The bat wings of the mechanism in the sky are just missing, not gone. A flash of fire suddenly appeared in a huge dark city, which was too conspicuous.
Not only if you use it in the city, but if you light a fire in the nearby mountains and forests, you will be discovered immediately.
Without this moonlight, night travelers would have no choice but to walk in the dark.
Of course, an empty city at night is of no value to most people for a leisurely stroll. Only those young people who are energetic and eager to take risks will go out for night walks.
For example, two outstanding students from Xiaoshengxian Village.
Tianming and Shaoyu hooked up with each other, sneaking back and forth between the houses in the city.
They are not trying to avoid patrolling soldiers, but not being discovered by their targets.
In front of the two of them, a slender figure walked quietly in the shadows.
After the Qin army's control was reduced, Songhai City at night was basically a no-man's land for Shi Lan, and there was no need to hide his traces too deliberately.
But it was precisely because of this carelessness that she was attached to Tianming Shaoyu from a distance without realizing it.
Another reason is that although Shaoyu has been following her happily in the past few days, he has always been during the day and not at night, so she probably did not expect this.
The two teenagers behind were clumsily and hard-working to hide their figures, while still communicating in lowered voices.
"Say Shaoyu, is it really okay if we stay up all night? We were miserable last time!"
"What are you afraid of!" Shao Yu tried his best to focus on the beautiful figure in the distance, and replied impatiently in a low voice, "The Qin army's patrols are much lighter now, so it will be okay to be careful!"
"Besides, we were unlucky last time. We happened to be discovered by the Yin Yang family. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have had so much trouble later."
"...I'll believe you once!" Tianming murmured twice and reluctantly believed Shao Yu's words.
"What do you think Shi Lan is going to do if she doesn't sleep this late at night?"
"How do I know!" Shao Yu rolled his eyes and replied angrily, "It looks like he is going to the mountain... Anyway, just follow him honestly!"
In order to prevent being discovered by Shi Lan, Shao Yu carefully adjusted the tracking plan this time, trying to keep the distance as far as possible.
Although this greatly reduced the risk of exposure, it also made the tracking process a lot more tense. Shaoyu had to concentrate on not losing him, but Tianming kept talking beside him to distract him...
