Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 430
Even though it was the middle of winter, the war between Wen Guo and Chen Guo did not stop. Among them, Chen Guo has always implemented the policy of all the people as soldiers, and its national strength is slightly better than that of Wen Guo. Therefore, the war has continued for days, and it is still Chen Guo who takes the lead. got the upper hand.

Later, Wen Guo invited the help of his in-law country, Ji Guo, and now he has turned defeat into victory. He not only drove Chen Guo's troops out of the country, but also counterattacked and captured a large area of ​​Chen Guo's land.

Chen Guo had no choice but to ask Shen Guo for help, but Chen Guogong was stingy and did not promise any benefits.Shen Muyu naturally agreed very readily, and then shirked it with various conditions, but refused to actually send troops.

Chen Guo then went to Jin State to ask for help, and asked Jin State to send troops to attack Ji State from the rear, but he still only asked for help based on the feeling of alliance, and no benefits were allowed.

Jin Guo and Ji Guo have never had much enmity, not to mention Chen Guo is not willing to pay any price, so he wants to ask Jin Guo to send troops with the help of the alliance, and Jin Guogong is not stupid, so how can he agree.In the end, Jin Guo simply claimed that he and Ji Guo were competing for an iron mine discovered at the border, and had no time to distract him, so he directly rejected Chen Guo.

Chen Guo had no choice but to send an envoy to ask Wen Guo to temporarily cease the war, and wait until the spring of next year.

The two sides negotiated many times, and finally stopped fighting after a heavy snowfall. The armies of Wen and Ji retreated one after another, and Chen Guojun also retreated in despair.

A heavy snow covered many countries on the mainland. At the end of the new year, Xiao Muying and the other four stopped caring about outside affairs in the heavy snow, and stayed in the main hall of the front yard with a stove burning to eat a warm New Year's Eve dinner.

At that time, the four of them were talking and laughing while eating a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. The atmosphere was extremely warm, and Xiao Muying finally felt a sense of home after years of wandering.

After the new year, Xiao Muying once again devoted herself to the political torrent in Xiaocheng, and devoted herself to increasing Yun Qingjin's influence.

After Xiao Muying's heartless murder on the night of Yun Qingjin's wedding, Shi Zixiao and Gong Zicheng, who sent assassins one after another, understood Xiao Muying's martial arts strength, and they couldn't find a strong enough assassin in a short period of time, so they stopped assassinating Xiao Muying one after another. , made her quiet a lot.

Later, through the introduction of Xi Nianyu, Yun Qingjin and Xiao Muying began to frequent Xi's mansion, and their relationship with Xi Gaozhuo, the great Sima Xi Gaozhuo who held a heavy military force, became more and more intimate.

Both of them once sent someone to be a matchmaker to come to ask Xi Nianyu to marry him, hoping to make Xi Nianyu lean towards him through the in-law relationship with Xi Nianyu, but Xi Nianyu had his own interests and refused to marry, and Xi Gaozhuo loved his only daughter, so he never agreed to Xi Nianyu. people.

Moreover, Xi Gaozhuo is a man with a deep palace, so far he has kept an appropriate distance from the young masters, and has not shown any intention of leaning towards anyone.

After Yun Qingjin entered and exited Xi's mansion frequently, courtiers in the court also began to move closer to Yun Qingjin. Zijin's mansion, which was not visited by anyone in the past, was full of guests for a while, and it was very lively.

It's just that Xiao Muying is very clear that Xi Gaozhuo is not really inclined to Yun Qingjin, even if the two of them have nothing to do, they will visit Xi's mansion, but Xi Gaozhuo has always been indifferent to Yun Qingjin, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent.

They used Xi Nianyu's relationship to come and go frequently in Xi's mansion, but it just made outsiders seem to have a close relationship with Xi Gaozhuo.

Through contact with Xi Gaozhuo, Xiao Muying learned that he is a cautious person, and it is not difficult to understand why he has not clearly expressed his preference for any son so far.If you want to get his support completely, it depends on the last-minute efforts.

But fortunately because of this, Xi Gaozhuo, an important official with a heavy hand in his hand, is still a target that can be tried to win over. If he has already expressed his allegiance to a certain son, it will be difficult to win him over.
