”Cough cough, I'm only telling you guys, don't spout nonsense.”
”Mhmm, we understand, we understand.”
Gu Yan warned them over and over again, but when he saw their meaningful and clear expressions, he continued, ”I said before that it would be beneficial for Shen Yin's condition. Do you remember? because of the history of what was stolen, and that's where the Huns came from. ”
”In four years, the Huns have defeated our country. That thing is our army's spoils of war. If that thing is very important among the Huns, it is not impossible to steal it during the palace banquet.”
”And a few years ago, I heard my father and the Prime Minister discussing that the fight between the Huns and our country had always been evenly matched. There has never been a fight between the Huns like four years ago, where the Huns fell on one side, and even allowed them to successfully ambush the commander-in-chief.
”Amongst the spoils of war collected by the Ministry of Rites, there are many items with traces of the Central Plains on them. The stolen item is one of them …” Gu Yan paused for a moment, then suddenly said in a serious tone, ”Because these things aren't big secrets, then I'll tell you guys. I can't tell you more, since I heard my father enter the government, I won't be like before. You guys …”
Song An patted his shoulder. ”We understand. Besides, what you've said is enough. Thank you, Brother Gu. No, it's time to call him Master Gu in the Ministry of Rites.”
Gu Yan Yun shook his head. Just as he was about to retort, he suddenly heard a stern voice from behind him, ”Gu Yan Yun, what are you doing while you're on duty!”
Gu Yan straightened his body as if by reflex, turned around stiffly on all fours, and bowed deeply, ”Dad, no, Master Shang, your subject's old friend is here to look for you. I've said a few words and haven't slacked off at all. I'll head back to work now!”
After saying that, he ran back into the room where he worked.
Song An was the calmest as he cupped his hands in a greeting to Minister Gu, ”Master Shang, this marquis is being impolite. Brother Gu has seen it and will not disturb us here. Goodbye.”
Under the cold gaze of Gu Shangshu, Lu JinNian followed Song An and the other two out of the Ministry of Rites and walked onto the main street.
Lu Jinniang was thinking about it, and Gu Yanyin's explanation had a lot of reference value.
In their eyes, the people of the Central Plains were more intelligent and cunning. All the people of the Central Plains looked down on the people of the Central Plains, but that did not mean that the people of the Central Plains did not exist.
Yan Ze had been traveling back and forth between the Western Prairies all these years, analyzing the distribution inside, and had also told Lu Jinsheng about it. The fugitives from the struggle between the martial arts world, the fugitives from the three empires, the Western Regions, and the Prairie were the best places for them to hide.
Those who were able to escape to the Western Regions by themselves were not to be underestimated. Their role was to provide wisdom for the Western Regions or the Hunchback Khan. They were not good at such tactics.
As a participant in the war four years ago, he could even be said to be a key figure in the counterattack of the Ming Xuan Empire. Not only did Lu Jinsheng know the situation on the battlefield like the back of his hand, but he was also very close to it.
In the middle, there were indeed people from the Central Plains, but those people were not directly exposed on the battlefield. After Ming Xuan Country's victory, they disappeared without a trace.
Lu JinNian had a hunch that those people were not simple, they were even dangerous. Moreover, in the business world, Lu JinNian did not need to put his subordinates in danger.
As a little mute, Lu JinNian had left after the battle. She hadn't even gone to see the memorial that her brothers built for her, so she naturally didn't pay attention to the Huns' spoils of war. Now that she had heard that the people of the Central Plains could conceal their existence completely, how could they casually leave behind things related to their existence?
