After eating, Lin Xi and Liu's mother and son cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together, and asked the four children to go back to the room to read books.

And Shen Chen and Wan Yan were still sitting in the courtyard.

After Lin Xi and the three of them went to the kitchen, the deliberate smile on his face disappeared, and he brought up the unfinished topic before, and asked farewell: "It's been so long, how are you thinking about it?" Are you leaving with Lone this time? ”

Shen Chen twisted his eyebrows.

Wan Yan slowly drank the medicinal tea that Shen Chen was accustomed to drinking at home, but the words he said were dignified.

"Lone didn't lie to you. This time, he came to Great Qin alone, and he came with the envoys from the south who came to Qin Chaohe. I wanted to see how Emperor Daqin secretly did so many actions and whether he wanted to do something, but I found something interesting. ”

"You will find out that it is because although Gu went back the last time he came, he still left some human spies in Daqin. As it turned out, the solitary move was prescient. Those spies found out that there were still remnants of the old party in the Qin realm, and they had contacts with a few officials who were focused on by the lonely people. ”

"Of course, the lonely people can't find out what they are going to and about for the time being, but they find something else. One of the officials who came and went had a mistake on an errand and asked to be sent to a local place. Gu asked someone to check, and the official's mistake could actually be avoided. In other words, he deliberately made a mistake and left the capital. Since he took office, there have been accidents one after another, and I heard that there have been natural disasters that have destroyed the people's fertile land and almost lost their harvest. ”

Wan Yan said this, and looked up at Shen Chen: "And these things, your emperor seems to be unaware?" ”

Shen Chen said flatly: "No one can control whether something happens or not." And natural disasters are not an unusual thing, they happen every year, what's so strange? That's all, even if the local officials go to the letter, the court and the central government will follow the rules and rectify it, and the emperor will take care of every opportunity, just look at a few glances and tell how to do it, and then hurry up to deal with other things, isn't it normal? ”

"But this official deliberately made a mistake and was delegated, and no one seems to find out." Wan Yan said, staring at Shen Chen, not letting go of the slightest change in his expression, he said slowly: "What, is it deliberately left alone?" Then it seems that Lone guessed correctly, the situation in the Great Qin Dynasty is really going to change? ”

Shen Chen also looked at Wan Yan.

The other party seemed to be smiling, as if he was really saying it casually, without the slightest intention of testing him.

His face was as usual, he lowered his head to drink tea, and said lightly: "You said it was intentional, did it mean it?" Can you guarantee that you will never make a mistake, or that you will be the first to find out if something goes wrong? ”

Wan Yan raised his eyebrows: "No." ”

Shen Chen said: "That's it, because of negligence, my aunt feels guilty, and I can understand that I want to practice in a place and atone for my sins." ”

Wan Yan stopped talking.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little stagnant.

Wan Yan looked at Shen Chen, and only after a long time did he speak: "Shen Chen, you have changed. ”

Shen Chen's tone was unwavering: "Everyone will change." ”

"But you've really changed this time."

Wan Yan put down the cup in his hand and opened his mouth casually, but he felt extremely oppressed: "You wouldn't cover up for the Great Qin Dynasty like this before, even if you did something, most of them were just for one last resort reason, not as spontaneous as you are now." ”

"You-"

He looked at Shen Chen, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said playfully: "You have a future for the Great Qin Imperial Court again, so you will start to do things for them, right?" ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Shen Chen simply raised his head and looked directly at Wan Yan, his expression calm and calm.

"Don't understand? Okay, let's be clear. Wan Yan said, "After the lonely investigation, after the official arrived at the place, he didn't report the local disaster to the court, even if he wrote a book, he only mentioned a few words, and the court didn't even send someone to inspect the place." ”

"You're going to say something like it's not serious to contradict me, aren't you? The situation was not at all light, it was getting worse and worse, there was famine, and the refugees began to flee to other places. At the latest, it will be no more than two months, and if it is not addressed, there will be widespread famine. ”

"And when I came to talk to you about this, you were clearly surprised, and you didn't look like you had heard of it. It's only been a long time, and you're not surprised at all. From what I know about you, you must have figured out what was going on. According to the way you acted years ago, you will know the reason, and you will not be so calm, at least worried. But you don't have it now. ”

Having said that, it's actually quite obvious.

Not only did you figure out what was going on, but you decided to ignore it, which in some way helped the person you thought of."

Wan Yan leaned forward slightly and looked at Shen Chen.

"Yes or no?"

Shen Chen also looked at him, took two sips of medicinal tea indifferently, and then said: "You are a smart person, and it is wise to be nosy." ”

"But you're starting to stand on the side of the court!"

Wan Yan's voice suddenly rose.

Shen Chen said: "So what? ”

"Lone is very curious, what happened to make you change your attitude towards Daqin's court." Wan Yan chuckled, but his eyes were very cold, "You know, Lone still wants to get you back to the south and conspire with Lone in the world." Shen Chen, you don't want to become enemies between you and me in the end, right? ”

Shen Chen paused word by word: "I am a Qin person, and you and I are opponents." ”

Wan Yan was silent for a moment.

Randomly, he sat up straight and sneered: "Gu Yuan thought, come to you and ask what happened in the Great Qin Dynasty." But to get this kind of result, it's really unpleasant. ”

Shen Chen added him a cup of tea, and said as Ying Fei asked: "Haixian should not be far from the post station where you settled first." It's too late for you to go back now. ”

Wan Yan said: "What if you stay?" ”

Shen Chen looked at him: "You won't." ”

"Why?"

"You're not available."

Shen Chen's tone was firm, "The situation in the south is only enough for you to leave for a few days, you should go back." ”

Wanyan Ghost asked the gods: "What do you think is the purpose of Lone leaving the southern border at this time, so that those old things in the southern border take the opportunity to block Lone?" ”

Shen Chen said: "Aren't you curious about Daqin's situation. ”

"It's not." Wan Yan said, his eyes drooped, and he murmured: "The palace in the south is too big in this year, and it is also empty. ”

Shen Chen looked at him, and only said after a while: "The dried meat you ate last time is still there." ”

Wanyan looked helpless: "Shen Chen, hasn't anyone taught you that since you want to be ruthless, be ruthless to the end?" If you're like this, it's going to be hard to do alone. ”

Shen Chen ruthlessly debunked him: "Even if you play the emotional card, I won't tell you what you want to know." ”

Wanyan: "......"

Wan Yan said angrily: "It's really not fun with you at all, it's not as interesting as teasing those idiots in the south." Hurry up and get jerky, Lone is leaving! ”
