Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 712
Hearing Lu Yingying complaining about her biological father, Gu Yanxi covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

As for Lu Yingying, after seeing Gu Yanxi's smile, she finally let out a sigh in her heart, looked at Gu Yanxi with sparkling eyes, and continued, "Jiaojiao, I know you are always a very thoughtful person, and I know You are not the kind of person who inquires about things for no reason. Since you are paying attention to the battle in Nine Suns City and found me in front of you, I will naturally open my mouth to you. But, I want to remind you that I will You must not go out and talk nonsense about the things you said, because some situations may involve confidentiality, and if it is passed on, it may not be very good."

Gu Yanxi patted the back of Lu Yingying's hand, and promised: "Don't worry, I'm not that ignorant child, how could I not be able to control my own mouth? Besides, I saw this early on. In order to appease the hearts of the people, the emperor has blocked many news from Jiuyang City. It can be seen that he is very taboo to spread the rebellion among the common people. I don't want to touch his brow for no reason, so naturally I don't If you talk too much, you won't cause trouble for our two governments."

Lu Yingying knew that Gu Yanxi was a transparent person. Now that she had such a promise from her, she felt relieved: "The letter my father wrote to my mother did mention some things about Nine Suns City. You also know that when my father was ordered to Going to suppress the rebellion, but the Nine Suns City was captured by the rebels just as the troops were on their way. At this time, even if my father and the others brought reinforcements there, I am afraid they would not be able to take back Nine Suns City in a while. Unfortunately, I heard that the situation in Nine Suns City is not good for us."

Gu Yanxi immediately clenched his fists, and his expression became tense: "What's the situation in Jiuyang City? What's the situation?"

Lu Yingying frowned, and said in a low voice: "The leader of the rebel army is the orphan of Prince Zhaowen. Prince Zhaowen had a very good reputation when he was alive, and there were many loyal followers. It is not so easy to break up the follow-up. The reason why the rebels became popular in such a short period of time and approached the capital is that they have made preparations a long time ago. The second aspect is to use the name of Prince Zhaowen's benevolence and righteousness to invite capable people and strangers from all over the world. After the territory, not only distributed food and grass to appease the people, but also spoke out for many poor people, and won a lot of people's hearts. The original prefect and magistrate of Jiuyang City were all greedy people. Before the rebels came, they enslaved many There are few people, and the exorbitant taxes are collected randomly in the name of the court. My father mentioned in the letter that the reason why the rebels were able to take down the heavily guarded Nine Suns City so quickly is that the strength of the rebels should not be underestimated. , part of the reason is that the rebels sent people into the city early in the morning to incite the people and overthrow the local government. Jiner took down Nine Suns City, catching the imperial court by surprise."

Hearing what Lu Yingying said, even if Gu Yanxi was in the capital, he could still imagine what happened in Jiuyang City.

"Since ancient times, the way of using soldiers has been to attack the heart first, and attack the city as the second; to fight the heart first, and to fight the soldiers next. When I heard this sentence before, although I could understand the meaning, I still didn't fully understand it, and even I'm still a little skeptical; but looking at it now, it's true. It seems that the reason why the rebels were able to take Nine Suns City in a quick battle is really the will of the people and the destiny!"

Hearing what Gu Yanxi said, Lu Yingying quickly jumped up and covered Gu Yanxi's mouth, then looked around vigilantly twice to make sure that their conversation was not overheard by anyone irrelevant, then let go of Gu Yanxi's mouth, and gently He hit her lightly and reminded her: "How can such words be said nonsense outside? If it is spread, you and I will not know how to die."

Gu Yanxi also realized that she had lost her composure, stuck out her tongue, and looked at Lu Yingying with a smile: "I was too careless, Yingying, don't worry, I will never say these words again in the future."

Lu Yingying took Gu Yanxi's hand again, leaned close to her ear, and said, "I don't care about you, it's just that it's an extraordinary moment, let alone you and me, even many dignitaries in the capital I have become more and more cautious in private, for fear that if I am not careful, it will fall into the hands of the emperor; before my father left, he repeatedly told my mother and me that it is best for us to close the mansion after he leaves If you don’t see visitors, you can just cultivate yourself at home every day. Why did your father make such an arrangement? Isn’t it because you are worried that after he leaves, our mother and daughter will be fine without his protection? The flowers are still blooming like a brocade, but the undercurrents are surging. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces in a daze. Jiaojiao, you have always been a temperament who sees the overall situation. Caution and wisdom are your characteristics. You must not suddenly become confused at such a critical moment, and do what you should not do or say. At that time, even the king of heaven and I will not be able to save you."

Gu Yanxi listened to Lu Yingying's words from the bottom of her heart, and naturally she leaned on Lu Yingying's shoulder full of joy. The bottom of her heart was full of joy and relief; because she knew that only those who really put her in their hearts would understand such words from the bottom of their hearts. When she mentioned that Yingying was persuading her with such considerate care, didn't she really take her to heart?

It is really a joyful thing in my life to have such a friend who treats me sincerely!
"Yingying, you are so kind to me." Gu Yanxi blinked her eyes coquettishly on Lu Yingying's shoulder, the reluctance in her eyes was naturally real: "You are so nice, I can't bear to let you leave me. "

Lu Yingying was taken aback, then looked down at Gu Yanxi: "When did I say I was leaving you?"

Gu Yanxi stood up straight, with a serious expression and secretly said: "Little General Mu has already proposed marriage to your family. If you didn't go out with your father this time, I'm afraid your marriage has been completely put on the agenda; you and Mu The little general is the fate accumulated in the previous life, the good match of Qin Se and Ming in this life, this Marquis of Pingnan's mansion is far away on the border, if you marry Little General Mu in the future, why don't you leave the capital with him?"
