Zhao Ming snorted coldly at the words and mentioned the intelligence from Yun City, "Gou Xi and other court officials seem to believe your explanation about Qingzhou, but they still have suspicions. Spies in Yun City report that Gou Xi has spent five consecutive days in the barracks, eating, living, and training with the soldiers as if to recover his erstwhile prowess."
Zhao Ming said, "Even though Gou Xi's nature has been exposed, if he decides to mend his ways and govern diligently, there will still be many in the world who would choose to follow him. So, you should stop fooling around and spend more time at places like You Ran Residence, where there are scholars, warriors, and other talents."
He leaned slightly to point at the rabbit in Ting He's hands and said, "If you crave meat, be open about it and use money to buy some. Why go through all this trouble for just three rabbits?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "Uncle Ming, this is a matter of leisure."
Zhao Ming snorted again.
