Domineering in the East Palace: The owl girl takes the crown prince on the bar

Chapter 155

Ancient country, imperial palace.

"Master, the troops of Xiangyun Kingdom have been gathering, but they have not seen them rise up. I am worried..."

"Worried about Gong Qingjun and Huangfu Mufeng colluding again to deal with me?" Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and accepted Nongju's words.

Nong Ju nodded: "I have to think this way." Last time, it was the collusion between Gong Qingjun and Huangfu Mufeng that caused the master... and the master's years of hard work almost failed.

"As long as the Ruifeng Kingdom survives, he dare not openly send troops to attack the Ancient Kingdom." Gong Qingjuan is a cautious person, and what he thinks of is probably more that he suspects that there are mostly conspiracy elements in it. Besides, even if it is not a conspiracy, he will Consider, if he sends troops to attack the ancient country, the Ruifeng country may attack him back and forth at any time. On the battlefield, there is absolutely no sympathy to talk about. One moment he and Huangfu Mufeng are fighting to the death, and the next moment, it is also possible He is very clear about joining forces to deal with him, Gong Qingjuan.

Nongju's expression was still a little worried. What happened last time was an extremely heavy psychological shadow for him.

Gu Ye stood up, crossed Nongju, and walked out of the palace. Looking at the beauty of spring flowers in the palace, there was determination in his dark eyes. The kingdom will surely perish, just like the former kingdom.

However, it is necessary for him to share some benefits with Gong Qingjun for the time being!
And in this world, he and Gong Qingjuan are fighting for it.

Ruifeng Kingdom, Imperial Palace.

On the Golden Luan Hall, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Huangfu Mufeng sitting on the throne, and everyone felt uneasy in their hearts.

The emperor was moody, violent and bloodthirsty by nature. Although everyone outside is rumoring that the emperor is not of royal blood, in their hearts, this matter is not important anymore.

The important thing is that the military power of Ruifeng Kingdom is firmly in the hands of General Shi, and the imperial power is also in the hands of the emperor. They can only recognize him as the emperor and respect him as the king.

Otherwise, it is a dead end, and they are not tired of living yet.

It is not their business to fight the war, and it is not their business how many people die on the border. Anyway, even if the country is defeated and the country is defeated, they, civil servants and officials, can only end up being demoted to civilians at most, and death is not a crime.

Thinking of this, the ministers who bowed their heads breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface they still showed fear and uneasiness.

"All the lovers seem to be indifferent to the war between the two countries." "The ministers are in panic..." The waists of the ministers bent even lower, and cold sweat broke out on their heads one after another. It feels like they are at this moment The prey that is being watched closely by people may be bitten into the belly at any time.

"Fear?" Huangfu Mufeng sneered as if hearing some joke, his sinister pupils were like the eyes of a poisonous snake, sweeping across everyone present one by one, making people chill.

"I see that not only are the lovers not afraid, but on the contrary, they are confident."

Plop, plop... All the people knelt on the hall one after another, sweating profusely, and shouted in unison: "Your servant should die."

Huangfu Mufeng stood up, walked out of the throne slowly, stood on the white jade steps, looked at the group of officials below, and smiled slightly: "All my lovers can't go to the battlefield to serve me, but it's not like I have nothing to do. After thinking hard all night, I finally figured out what I can explain to all my lovers." "Your majesty is wise, and I will definitely serve for you." Senior Bingbu Gao who was kneeling in the front row raised his head and said respectfully.

"Ruifeng Kingdom has tens of thousands of people. Now it's time for me to employ people. Excluding the old and weak, women and children, the young and strong must serve the country. What do you think?"

"This... Your majesty is wise, and I will do my best to recruit you." Master Liu of the Household Department replied quickly after being slightly stunned.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Gao Aiqing and Liu Da. After a month, I'll see 30 troops, otherwise..." Huangfu Mufeng didn't need to say what he said afterwards, the two adults were terrified trembling all over.

The two looked at each other in dismay, recruiting 30 troops a month?This……

"What? The two adults can't do it?" Huangfu Mufeng raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.

"I will do my best to fulfill the emperor's holy order." The two dared not refuse, so they had to bite the bullet and accept the order, lamenting in their hearts. Although Ruifeng Kingdom has a large population, it is not easy to recruit 30 recruits within a month. matter.

As soon as the recruitment notice was posted, the people of Ruifeng Kingdom were outraged and complained. The recruitment was 30.
In the night when the notice was posted, all the young and middle-aged people fled and hid, and Ruifeng country was in chaos.

But soon the chaos subsided, Huangfu Mufeng dispatched his forbidden army, once any fugitives were caught, they would be killed without pardon, and their wives and children would be implicated, and the whole family would be punished.

Post this notice and see immediate results!
After the turmoil in the first few days, all the recruited men accepted their fate and dared not run away again!
Huangfu Mufeng sent envoys to Xiangyun Kingdom, on the one hand to prevent Xiangyun Kingdom from taking advantage of the fire and looting, and on the other hand to try to ask for reinforcements.

As soon as the news spread, it also calmed many people's hearts.

If Xiangyun Country is willing to support, this will undoubtedly be a timely help for Ruifeng Country.

But even though the envoys were sent, what was the attitude of Emperor Jun of Xiangyun Kingdom?After a while, no one can guess.

In order to recruit the 30 strong men that Qi Huangfu Mufeng wanted, all cities in Ruifeng Kingdom had to cooperate, and even Shahe City, which was far away from the capital, was inevitably affected.

On the street, there was an endless stream of conscripts and imperial troops on the street, and the street had long since lost the peaceful and lively appearance of that day.

Some wealthy businessmen's families can't avoid it, but they also have to pay a high amount of money to be exempted from the quota.

Sitting under the eaves, Chu Wanyou listened to Lai Qing's indignant voice, but did not make a sound. Huangfu Mufeng's actions would be harmful and useless to him who was already unpopular and intimidating. of death.

These people are ordinary people who were forcibly recruited into the army. Even if they go to the battlefield, most of them are destined to die.

How many people will come back alive?No one could have predicted that the pain of being separated from each other made the people doubt Huangfu Mufeng's ability, resent and hate...

The common people even hoped that Huangfu Mufeng would be overthrown. Of course, this was due to Gu Ye's example to Xiantong.

The people of Xiantong Kingdom are now living a very stable and stable life, and they have not lived a miserable life because of the change of emperor.

As for Huangfu Mufeng's request for peace and support from Xiangyun Kingdom, this is undoubtedly to make Xiangyun Kingdom send troops earlier.

A month later, Shi Feng had to retreat [-] li in the face of the black mandrill army's all-out attack. Not only did he return the [-] li territory he originally acquired from the ancient country, he was also deprived of [-] li of border land.

Huangfu Mufeng's 30 recruits were also transported into the border to supplement the troops lost in the war. However, these recruits were incomparable to the Black Mandrill Army who had been trained and had been on the battlefield.

Shi Feng retreated to Chuan Confucianism City at the border in panic, and then closed the city gate tightly, guarding the border defense line with strict defense.

The Black Drill Army then arrived, and on the third day after stationed at the city gate, they launched an attack on the city.

At this time, Xiangyun Kingdom also made a large-scale deployment of troops. Although it did not launch an attack, it undoubtedly added fuel to the fire for Ruifeng Kingdom. This meant that Emperor Jun of Xiangyun Kingdom did not accept Huangfu Mufeng's proposal. It is even less likely that reinforcements will intervene in the intention of seeking peace and showing goodwill.

His attitude has already shown that he is also ignorant of Ruifeng Kingdom and wants to get a piece of the pie.

With the increase of troops in Xiangyun Kingdom's Lucheng, Ruifeng Kingdom has been raging and in chaos.

Chu Wan sat quietly in the room, looking at the gradually clear chess game with an unfathomable expression.

"Sister Chu, Ruifeng Country, it's hard to keep it. Are you still sitting here?" Seeing Chu Wanyou's leisurely expression, Lai Qing felt anxious.

Chu Wanyou played with the chess pieces in his hands, and smiled faintly: "It's not the time yet."

"It's not the time yet?" Lai Qing screamed, her brows were on fire, it's not the time yet, when will it be?
"Wait another half a month." Chu Wanyou said with narrowed eyes.

"Half a month, half a month, the black mandrill army of the ancient country is about to break through the Confucian city gate, and the Xiangyun country will also attack the city." Lai Qing said with a jump.

Chu Wan glanced at her with a cold expression, "Where's your composure?"

"I..." Lai Qing was dumbfounded.

"Learn from Xiaoliang, your psychological endurance is not as good as Xiaoliang's, you have been fooling around all these years." Chu Wanyou's tone was light, but it was not difficult to hear her accusation.

Lai Qing opened her mouth, and finally lowered her head decadently, remaining silent.

"Go and run a hundred laps in the yard."

"Yes" Lai Qing turned and walked out.

Half a month later, seeing that the Black Mandrill Army was about to break through the gate of Confucian City, Xiangyun Kingdom finally launched an attack in Lucheng.

Huangfu Mufeng was a little anxious at this time. He dared to confront Gu Ye head-on because he thought that Gong Qingjun would not easily launch an attack on Ruifeng Kingdom...

Shi Feng was fighting against the Black Mandrill Army, and this land city was about to go to war. Ruifeng Kingdom was under attack from both sides, and the people in the border towns also felt the imminent disaster. They fled in embarrassment, and crowds rushed into the capital.

Chu Wanyou was sitting in the room, listening to the news from outside, looking at the board full of chess pieces, and smiling slightly, now is the time for her to appear.

She raised her head, looked at Xiaoliang and Lai Qing, and said indifferently: "Lai Qing, Xiaoliang, take your trainees to Confucian City in one group, and Lu City in one group, and spread the news everywhere along the way. , Let’s say that General Shi was seriously injured, but he risked his life to defend Confucian City and resist the attack of the Black Mandrill Army.”

"General Shi was seriously injured? I understand." Lai Qing was confused at first, and then suddenly realized.

Xiaoliang nodded respectfully.

"In Ruifeng, the people are now displaced and suffering. During this period, you seize the opportunity to expand your network. Some smarter and smarter people are included in the banner. As long as they meet the requirements, the people you take in will provide food and clothing. Along the way, As long as there is a rice shop with this mark, you take out this seal and ask them to provide you with food and clothing, and then check with them how many meals they have eaten, sign your name, and affix this seal." Chu Wan You took out two seals with strange designs and handed them to the two.
