Chapter 387: Could it be that these sisters have some chapter?

Seeing that Li Si's purpose was actually a strategy and means carefully planned by Gao Yao. Li Si knew this very well. The current court situation was in chaos. If Fusu and the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan were allowed to do so, it would eventually collapse.

Facing the numerous rebel armies and various princes inside and outside the Great Wall, the imperial court not only ignored them, but also concentrated 80% of its forces to fight against the southern border army. If the imperial court really had such a strong strength, it would be fine, but the fact is that the imperial court was unable to support such an action. Compared with others, because Li Si had more private contacts with Gao Yao, he had a more thorough understanding of the actual situation in the southern border.

The dilemma that Li Si faced was that he had given too much to the Qin Dynasty. To some extent, it was not whether he was willing to join a certain faction, but the two words "Li Si" had long been deeply imprinted in the history of the Qin Dynasty and became an inseparable part of the Qin Dynasty. With Li Si's extraordinary wisdom and keen insight, he was naturally very clear about this result.

It was for this reason that Li Si came to the southern border to seek refuge with Gao Yao. Unfortunately, plans often cannot keep up with the changes in the situation. Although Li Si knew that the court would take action against Gao Yao sooner or later, he never expected that the court would put it into practice so quickly and launched a siege against Gao Yao.

Li Si's original plan was to use his identity to flee to Gao Yao in the southern border, and then use his name as the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty to strike at the morale of the imperial army. However, Li Si arrived in the southern border almost at the same time as the imperial army. At this time, Li Si's identity was a bit embarrassing. Even when Gao Yao proposed not to disclose Li Si's identity for the time being, Li Si agreed without hesitation.

To put it bluntly, Li Si himself was also very worried. Li Si was worried that the imperial army would win, so if he took the initiative to announce his identity at this time, it would be a disguised way of committing suicide. It was not that Li Si was really afraid of death. Li Si did not want to die unclearly. Li Si did not want to bear the infamy after his death. At the same time, he was unwilling to see the world he had worked so hard to create with Qin Shihuang destroyed inexplicably. He was just unwilling to accept it.

Gao Yao, who was in the main hall, watched Li Si leave and gave a look to the guard beside him. The guard immediately understood what Gao Yao meant and bowed and retreated.

The same is true for Gao Yao. He knows clearly what Li Si is trying to achieve in this place. In Gao Yao's eyes, Li Si is undoubtedly of great value, and his ability to handle government affairs is unparalleled. If he did not have such outstanding talents, how could he win the favor and respect of Qin Shihuang? Although Feng Quji has a grudge against Li Si, to be realistic, Li Si is indeed more outstanding than Feng Quji in terms of government affairs. Whether it is facing various complex and changing policies, or the reaction speed and adaptability shown in dealing with various emergencies, Li Si is obviously better than Feng Quji.

Especially when it comes to Gao Yao's fantastic ideas that transcend the times and the major adjustments made to the current policies, Gao Yao has to admit with all his heart that in these aspects, Li Si's performance is even more satisfactory to him than Xiao He. After all, understanding is only one level. The real key lies in how to adopt appropriate methods that fit the current background of the Qin Dynasty to effectively implement and implement the policies after understanding. And it is precisely in this crucial link that Li Si did an extremely good job, which can be called perfect.

The reason why Li Si was summoned here actually has multiple profound meanings. On the one hand, this is a warning and a warning to him, so that he can understand his position and responsibilities; on the other hand, it is to give him a certain degree of comfort and convey a message to him - even in the face of the current complex and difficult situation, his side is still as stable as a rock and there is no problem. However, it is the imperial army that is really in a dilemma. Therefore, Li Si can do his best and spare no effort to contribute to himself.

As for whether Li Si's true identity can be made public, it all depends on his specific performance in the future. After all, in the entire southern region, there are very few people who really know Li Si and his deeds. In addition to Gao Yao himself, there are only a few people such as Feng Quji and Gongzi Gao.

However, Gao Yao was not too worried about those who knew the inside story. They would keep their mouths shut and would never easily leak the matter. Especially that young master Gao, Gao Yao was really surprised by his reaction. Although Gao Yao spared no effort and means to secretly monitor him, the young master Gao remained extremely calm from beginning to end, as if he had completely accepted that he had become a puppet. This extraordinary calmness and tranquility made Gao Yao secretly guess what kind of thoughts and calculations this young master Gao had hidden deep in his heart.

Except when Gongzi Gao had to come out to handle affairs, Gongzi Gao stayed in his own mansion all the time and never took the initiative to interact with any officials other than Feng Quji. For Gao Yao, who was meticulous and scheming, Gongzi Gao's behavior made him more alert. Therefore, Gao Yao not only did not reduce the intensity of monitoring Gongzi Gao, but instead sent more people to monitor him more closely from every detail.

Judging from Gongzi Gao's noble status and Gao Yao's in-depth understanding of him, although Gongzi Gao is not ambitious, he is definitely not without ambition. If Gongzi Gao makes a slight move, such as secretly winning over people's hearts, Gao Yao thinks it is reasonable. Because from a certain level, even if such winning over is not intended to directly harm Gao Yao behind his back, it can at least ensure his own safety to the greatest extent. But surprisingly, Gongzi Gao did not move at all and did not do anything of the kind. Even the bystander Li Yi found this quite abnormal. Gao Yao found it hard to believe that Gongzi Gao would really be so obedient, so surveillance of Gongzi Gao's location was inevitable.

"My husband, why don't you take a rest for a while, after all, you have just recovered a little." At this moment, Yu Shu, with her graceful figure and beautiful face, slowly walked from the courtyard full of fragrant flowers into the solemn and elegant main hall. Her eyes were full of concern and worry, staring at Gao Yao, and gently advised.

Gao Yao nodded and said, "Okay. Um... By the way, where are Lu Zhi and Lu Su? I haven't seen them for a long time."

As he spoke, he frowned slightly, thinking to himself. Earlier, Gao Yao had sent these two to inform someone and prepare some delicious food. Normally, such a simple task should not take so long, and they should have returned early to report to him. Although Gao Yao did not need these two women, his sudden disappearance really surprised him.

"This... Husband, I..." Hearing Gao Yao's question, Yu Shu was stunned, and a hint of embarrassment instantly appeared on her pretty face. She opened her cherry lips slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself, as if she didn't know how to respond properly for a moment.

This reaction made Gao Yao feel even more strange. He stared at Yu Shu and asked, "What's going on? Why are you hesitating? Tell the truth!"

"Tell me, what's going on? Seeing you like this, I think you must be hiding something from me. You can tell me if you want to!" Gao Yao stared at Yu Shu in front of him, and he understood a little. He knew that with Yu Shu's personality, she would never be so hesitant and stammering unless there was a reason.

Although Yu Shu was semi-forced by Gao Yao to be his wife and concubine, time flies. After such a long time, she has already adapted to and gotten used to her current life. Moreover, she and Gao Yao have children, so Yu Shu naturally knows Gao Yao very well. Although Gao Yao seems to have a strong chauvinistic tendency, in fact, after following Gao Yao, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation or daily expenses, all she enjoys are the best. Not only that, Gao Yao never restricts the women in the mansion from doing what they like, and even allows them to enter and leave the mansion freely. What's more rare is that Gao Yao was able to use his own wisdom to figure out and develop things such as mahjong and poker in later generations, which added a lot of fun and novelty to life in the mansion.

On the grassland, Yu Shu would always put her man first, and would try her best to meet all her husband's requirements. Gao Yao was a little curious about the fact that Yu Shu didn't know how to say something. Yu Shu never hesitated before, but now, Yu Shu has truly regarded Gao Yao as her husband from the bottom of her heart, and she relies on and trusts him wholeheartedly. So when faced with Gao Yao's question, Yu Shu hesitated for a moment before she was ready to speak.

"My dear, my two sisters have been waiting in your study for a long time." Yu Shu bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before finally summoning up the courage to report the news to Gao Yao. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickering, as if she had something unspeakable in her heart.

"Study? Since they are waiting for me in the study, why don't you just tell me directly? Why are you hesitating and hesitant?" Gao Yao frowned and looked at Yu Shu with a little dissatisfaction. He really couldn't understand why Yu Shu was so shy when it was just a normal thing.

"This... this is what my two sisters specifically told me. Unless you, my husband, ask, I won't mention this to you." Yu Shu raised her head and explained carefully. When she finished speaking, a hint of helplessness appeared on her beautiful face.
