Chu Huan frowned and Pei Ji stared at Chu Huan and said, "The prince's side is indeed a trouble, but the real trouble is still in the northwest. Zhu Lingyue is ready to move. With our current power, we cannot compete with Zhu Lingyue at all. Once he has no scruples, he will inevitably attack Xiguan. Second brother must be prepared."

Chu Huan sneered: "Brother thinks Zhu Lingyue will act rashly?"

"Zhu Lingyue has not moved, for three reasons. The first is that his military preparations have not reached his ideal state, and the second is that he has some concerns about the court." Pei Ji said slowly: "That's the third, of course, it's still the situation in the northwest. The people in the northwest have just passed the war, and most people are not willing to see the war happen again. No matter who provokes the war easily, they will lose their hearts. Especially in Xiguan, the second brother implemented a new policy and the people returned one after another. Even many bandits who fell into the country and became bandits returned home and farmed. It's not that I praise my second brother. At least now, in the hearts of the people in Xiguan, the second brother is a good official who does practical things for the people."

Chu Huan waved his hand and smiled, "I just talked about doing things, but I didn't do anything."

"The second brother doesn't have to be humble." Pei Ji smiled and said, "The people of Xiguan are at peace. If someone easily provokes war at this time, his reputation will naturally plummet... Zhu Lingyue understands this principle, so he will not be able to hold his troops if he has many concerns. But the second brother should know that Zhu Lingyue is ambitious. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will inevitably make a big move...!"

"Brother thinks he can find an opportunity?"

"Actually, he has been waiting for the opportunity, and it is getting closer and closer." Pei Ji sighed lightly: "Second brother understands a fact in his heart, but you haven't said it."

"What does big brother mean?"

"The world will inevitably be in chaos, and heroes will inevitably rise everywhere." Pei Ji looked solemn: "This is an unavoidable fact. Just waiting for the world's chaos, Zhu Lingyue will never be able to do it. Zhu Lingyue can naturally see clearly the situation in the world."

"The world is in chaos..." Chu Huan murmured to himself.

Pei Ji stared at Chu Huan, for example: "When Qin was first built, the emperor was preparing to build a sturdy and gorgeous palace, and had laid a good foundation. Everyone thought that this palace would be built for granted, but the palace had just been laid, and the emperor no longer had to build a palace. He thought about building an illusory immortal palace in his mind. For this reason, the palace that had been laid before had been removed from the foundation to build the immortal palace in his heart. The previous palace, with the damage to the foundation, was inevitable that the entire palace would collapse."

Chu Huan listened carefully and knew that Pei Ji compared the empire to a palace, and that illusory immortal palace naturally refers to the emperor's path to seeking immortality.

"Although the foundation of the palace has been damaged, the materials of the palace are still coveted. Some people are jealous of this palace and want to completely destroy it. Some people are craftsmen who built this palace. When they see the owner Wuxin Palace, they are waiting for the palace to collapse, and take advantage of the fire to rob and replace it." Pei Ji said softly: "Second brother, Tianmen Dao and the Qingtian King, they want to destroy this palace. People like Zhu Lingyue are craftsmen who built the palace. When they see that the palace is about to collapse, do you think they will remain safe?"

Chu Huan sighed: "What my brother said is reasonable. Actually, I understand that in the face of troubled times, there are many ambitious people."

"Now Qin State is at its end of its journey." Pei Ji said seriously: "People like Zhu Lingyue have long been thinking about it. Second brother, have you ever thought about where to go?"

How could Chu Huan not hear the sound of Pei Ji's words? He frowned and lowered his voice and asked, "What do you mean by brother?"

Pei Ji sighed: "The second brother is a smart person. You should understand what I mean. The world is inseparable from chaos. If you want to keep the people of Xiguan safe, the second brother may not be able to sit on the chair."

"Brother, this is... this is a rebellion..." Chu Huan said with a wry smile.

Pei Ji smiled indifferently, "In a chaotic world, if you don't eat others, you will eat others... What should I do? I still have to consider the second brother for yourself."

Chu Huan thought something and didn't say anything.

Suddenly, I heard a hurry and a person appeared in front of the door. Chu Huan looked up and said, "Sir!"

Chu Huan waved and said, "Come in." After Bai Xiaoren entered the door, Chu Huan asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Sir, someone outside the mansion asked for a visit."

"Oh?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Who is asking for a meeting?"

"That man came here two days ago, but the lord was not in the mansion at that time." Bai Xiaozi replied: "I just arrived outside the mansion again. I saw that the lord had just returned to the mansion. I wanted them to come later, but the man said he had not seen him for a long time and had a discussion with him. He also said that he was an old friend of the lord, but that guy was sneaking and his mouth was on the lord. Do you want to see him?"

"Old friends? Old friends who are covered with their mouths?" Chu Huan sighed: "I have quite a few old friends. Forget it, let him come in."

After Bai Xiaozi retreated, Chu Huan asked Pei Ji: "Brother, are there any supplies sent over Beishan Road?"

Pei Ji then remembered and nodded, "A batch of supplies had been sent a few days ago, mainly some food and weapons, but no horses were sent."

Chu Huan sneered: "It seems that Xiao Huanzhang is still very careful."

Pei Ji smiled and said, "There are many plains in the northwest, and war horses are good things. No wonder Xiao Huanzhang hesitated. However, I had discussed with General Xuanyuan yesterday that there were two battalions of guards in Jiazhou. General Xuanyuan was ready to mobilize a battalion of troops to go to the border."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "This is putting pressure on Beishan, which is not bad. Xiao Huanzhang thought we would not act rashly. If we didn't move, this old guy wouldn't have any action." After thinking about it, he said, "Brother, transfer another battalion of troops from here to Jiazhou."

Pei Ji knew Chu Huan's meaning, smiled and nodded, stood up and said, "I'll go down and arrange it first." He turned around and went out. As soon as he left, Bai Xiaozi was already carrying someone in front of the door.

The man was wearing a black brocade dress and a black hat. As Bai Xiaozi said, this man started from the end of his nose with a black scarf and covered half of his face.

"This is our Lord." Bai Xiaozi held the hilt of the knife in one hand and was fully alert. "Okay, take off the face towel, otherwise you will not step into this door."

The man looked at Bai Xiaozi with a smile and smiled, "Brother, we have seen him before. Can't you remember me at all?"

Bai Xiaozi frowned, but Chu Huan looked at the visitor who was dressed in a strange way.

The man raised his hand, took off his face, revealed a somewhat old face, turned around and bowed to Chu Huan and smiled, "Mr. Concubine, I've been separated for more than a year, which has always been good?"

Chu Huan and Bai Xiaozi both looked surprised when they saw this face. Chu Huan recognized it at a glance. The visitor who suddenly came to visit suddenly became Gusa Heiyun, the great ritual officer of Xiliang.

No wonder Chu Huan remembered this person. When the Qin delegation was on the mission to Xiliang, the person in charge of the Xiliang was the ritual officer Gusa Heiyun. Chu Huan often saw this person. Moreover, when he returned from Xiliang, Gusa Heiyun even checked the delegation's team in order to search for Gusa Concubine Gusa. Because of this, although Chu Huan remembered not many people in Xiliang, Gusa Heiyun kept the face in mind.

Bai Xiaozi also accompanied Chu Huan on an envoy to Xiliang, so he naturally remembered this great ritual official.

Chu Huan never expected that the great ceremonial official from Xiliang would suddenly appear in his mansion. He was stunned for a moment, and Gusa Heiyun had already smiled and said, "Prespondent, don't blame him."

Chu Huanxin only came to visit Xiliang's great ritual officer, which was very serious. He ordered Bai Xiaozi: "You stay outside and don't get close to anyone." He said to Gusa Heiyun: "Great ritual officer, please come in!"

He looked solemn.

Although the two countries have made peace, the hatred between the two sides has not disappeared. Senior officials from Xiliang came to visit the governor of Qin. It is not a good thing to spread it.

But since the other party had already arrived, he could not keep it out. Gusa Heiyun obviously knew that this meeting was unusual and quickly walked into the house. Bai Xiaozi immediately brought the door, pressed his big knife, and guarded the door outside.

"Where did the great ritual officer come from?" Chu Huan asked Gusa Heiyun to sit down, full of doubts, but kept calm and asked.

Gusa Heiyun smiled and said, "I was ordered by the Regent to arrive here from Qingluo City."

The regent is Mahazang, the eldest prince of Western Liang. Now the military and political power of Western Liang is in the hands of Mahazang.

Chu Huan said "Oh", Gusa Heiyun smiled and said, "After the son-in-law left, the regent has always missed him very much. The regent has always regretted losing a talent like the son-in-law."

"I won't mention this matter." Chu Huan waved his hand and asked, "Is the Regent good?"

Gusa Heiyun nodded and smiled, "Everything is fine for the Regent, the prince consort is always good?"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "I'm fine, I can see it even if the ritual officer." At this moment, I couldn't help but think of Qiluo. After hesitating for a moment, Gusa Heiyun seemed to have guessed Chu Huan's thoughts and said softly: "Qilo Talanger is also very good now. But when he came this time, he was secretly paying homage to the prince-consort, so Qiluo Talanger didn't know."

"She...is she good?"

"When the prince-consort left, Talanger's condition was very bad." Gusa Heiyun sighed: "I heard that Talanger looks at the south every day, and she will burst into tears without realizing it..."

Chu Huan thought of Qiluo, and his heart was as if he was shattered. He took a deep breath and finally asked: "The great ritual officer came to see me, of course it was not just to see if I was doing well. The Regent trusted you very much and wanted to work for you as a great ritual officer. Of course, this time it would not be a trivial matter."

Gusa Heiyun smiled and said, "The prince-consort is wise. Actually, I came to pay my respects to the prince-consort. I did take the order of the regent. I wanted to trouble the prince-consort for some trivial matters... But the prince-consort is relieved, we people from Xiliang never treat friends unfairly."

"Friend?" Chu Huan smiled, "Are we friends?"

Gusa Heiyun was a little embarrassed, but said: "At least in the heart of the Regent, he always regarded the prince-consort as his best friend."
