The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 243 Open and honest

Closing his eyes, Yan Qing silently stared at the ups and downs of the tea foam in the teacup, and then raised his eyelashes to look at Guo Jia after a while, and asked, "I don't know what Miss Guo wants Qing to help you with?"

Guo Jia pursed her lips, hesitating slightly.

Seeing this, Yan Qing's fingertips holding the lamp moved slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly.

Judging from this reaction, it seems that her trust in herself in her heart is not as sincere as her words.

However, such a reaction should be a common occurrence.

Letting go of the teacup, Yan Qing wanted to get up and leave.

The words were almost covered, and she didn't lack Guo Jia's bargaining chip, so she didn't want to stay longer, waiting for Guo Jia to make a hesitant decision.

Since we are talking about the change of power, we should naturally talk about it with those who really hold power.

Guo Jia might allow her to play some role in the negotiation with Guo Youning, but relying on the power of his daughter to bargain with him, what is the difference between himself and Wen Zhemao, who uses his family as a threat?
This matter is embarrassing.

As for her understanding of the frontier defense of the three cities in northern Xinjiang, she spent six or seven years fighting with the Xueyuan Twelve Divisions on the border of the three cities in her previous life. She has been to countless places such as snowfields, canyons, and caves. The eldest lady of the capital of Northern Xinjiang needs to know more about the border defense of the three cities of Northern Xinjiang.

As for those old fritters in the three cities, if they want to rely on their old people to sell their old ones, it depends on whether they have the capital.

In his previous life, he was able to rule submissively, but in this life, as long as Guo Youning doesn't intervene, it will be difficult for him to produce side issues.

Even if Guo Youning intervenes, it's just a waste of time and it won't be a problem.

That being the case, why should she make a favor for someone who doesn't trust her very much and can't trust her deeply?

Yan Qing stepped back, put his hands on the square table, raised his body slightly, and opened his thin lips lightly to resign, but Guo Jia opened his mouth.

"General Jiaxu will help me clean up the northern frontier."

Yan Qing paused for a while before he could speak, but his actions didn't stop.

Clean up the northern Xinjiang portal?

As himself who was ordered by the emperor to serve as the defense envoy of the three cities on the border of northern Xinjiang, for Guo Youning, who is about to be separated from the military power, he should also be one of the people to be cleaned up in the portal of northern Xinjiang.

"In order to prevent the outside world, you must first be safe inside."

Seeing that Yan Qing was unmoved, Guo Jia panicked and raised his voice a little, "The general also doesn't want you to have no help behind you when you are defending against the enemy at the frontier, but you will be framed, slandered and attacked by someone, right?"

Yan Qing was stunned.

In his previous life, he failed to seek help and was defeated in battle. After being forcibly recalled to Beijing, he was framed and died miserably...

Even though Wen Zhemao is dead now and her vengeance has been avenged, these things will always be engraved in her heart, always reminding her to take precautions.

Yan Qing sat down again and looked at Guo Jia with deep eyes, but when he saw the cold light in her eyes that couldn't be concealed, he felt dazed for a while, and felt that the expression was strangely familiar for no reason.

Tapping the table with his fingertips, Yan Qing suppressed the strangeness in his eyes, and said: "Qing is no more than an outsider, I'm afraid it's not easy to meddle in the internal affairs of Beijiang."

"The general is in charge of the military affairs of the three frontier cities in the northern border by order. He has a heavy responsibility. In the northern border, his status is second only to my father. It should also be the general's duty to eliminate the moths in the northern border."

Guo Jia opened up his words, "The general is already in the game, you and I are playing for others. If you want to break the game, the general needs Jia's help."

Looking at Guo Jia's eyes with cold light under his dark eyebrows, Yan Qing suddenly remembered - she had indeed seen such a pair of eyes.

In the last life when Ma Zhian was in the downtown area, among the angry crowd, there was a pair of eyes that looked across the crowd, looking towards the prison tower with killing intent.

When she sensed and looked over, the owner of those eyes quickly covered his expression, hid himself in the crowd, and disappeared.

She only thought it was a loyal subordinate of Guo Youning, but she didn't think it was Guo Jia!

After recalling the situation that day in detail, and then looking at Guo Jia, Yan Qing became more cautious.

Even though the situation was chaotic at that time, since Guo Jia was able to escape from the control of various forces with ease, it can be seen that she is not an ordinary person.

And the few words she said now are also interesting.

Yan Qing lowered his eyes, twitched his fingertips lightly, raised the end of his eyes slightly, and a layer of confusion appeared in his black eyes, "The game?"

Guo Jia nodded.

Yan Qing frowned, and said with a smile: "Although Qing and Lord Hou are at odds, they are both frontier generals. They only hope for peace and tranquility in the frontier. Bar?"

"You should know that I am not talking about such trivial matters as these."

The smile on Guo Jia's brows disappeared, and he stared at Yan Qing with deep almond eyes, "Although King Su is dead now, King Xian is nowhere to be found, and King Duan is far away in southern Xinjiang. There are many floods in southern Xinjiang during the rainy season, and the original water conservancy facilities , because there was no time to repair the previous battle, and no one knows what will go wrong when the rainy season floods in July."

"In the capital, above the imperial court, Prime Minister Xu Xiangfeng is in sole control of the power, and the emperor has no successors except for the three sons."

"Have you ever thought about it, if the imperial power is overthrown, who will control the country?"

Guo Jia no longer plays around with Yan Qing.

The previous few conversations had already made her understand that, in terms of pretending to be stupid, this general who is said to be a cold and upright general is not bad at all.

It's just a waste of time to continue probing, not to mention losing her trust, and you may even get yourself involved.

She was originally ordered by the emperor to suppress the Guo family. If she could not express her position in time and let her stand on the opposite side of the Guo family, then the loss outweighed the gain.

In this way, Guo Jia stopped probing Yan Qing's background, and lowered his voice to talk about business, "There are some people who have to be guarded against."

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Yan Qing was shocked, and looked at Guo Jia with deep eyes. The absurd guess in his heart was already the truth that was almost inseparable.

After a moment of silence, Yan Qing asked with cold eyes: "What does this have to do with Qing?"

Guo Jia was stunned, a little uncertain in his almond eyes, his pupils moved up and down, and looked at Yan Qing from the beginning to the end, and swallowed the words again, and he hesitated again.

"Not to mention that the Holy Majesty is now in his prime, there are countless talented people around King Duan, and the imperial power may not be subverted. Even if the imperial power is subverted, what does it have to do with me?"

Yan Qing lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm just a general. I won the trust of the current emperor and gained power. Naturally, I will be loyal to the emperor."

"Since you are loyal to the Holy One, you will not be soft on the rebels who intend to overthrow the imperial power."

Yan Qing raised his eyelashes and looked at Guo Jia, "I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said today. Please don't say such bad words again, so as not to affect the nine clans."

Guo Jia stared at Yan Qing in a daze, then realized that some words were out of place in her impatience.

However, this made her see Yan Qing's attitude clearly.

Although she was ordered by the emperor to suppress and monitor the Guo family, she had no intention of targeting the Guo family.

Taking a deep breath, Guo Jia said, "I made a slip of the tongue, thank you for reminding me. But you really never thought that Wen Zhemao is not standing behind Li Dingshan's conspiracy?"
