That's right. ”

Gu Shi looked at the girl with a calm expression in the candlelight, and spoke lightly.

She's right.

"How did you notice it?" The man asked quietly.

Pushing forward and backward, Zhu Luan said in his heart, then exhaled and clenched his fists.

"I can't say anything about my mother's death, but I have a question, can you answer me."

Zhu Luan turned around again, turned his back to Gu Shi and spoke expressionlessly.

"In order to eliminate Niangniang's power, the imperial court should do something, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Shi was silent.

This is something that is easy to investigate, and it doesn't hurt to answer, but I am afraid that the girl already has a rough answer in her heart.

"Eleven years ago, you went...... After you left, conservatives such as Sang Yu began to weaken the army. ”

Really.

Under the candlelight, Zhu Luan's eyes seemed to freeze.

The enthronement of the queen of heaven took a different path from the empress in her memory of her previous life.

In addition to the strength of her own great grandmaster, Wen Lingyue has accumulated extremely powerful military power since the time of Princess Qin.

And after she became Empress Chengzong, she established the most elite army of the Great Zhou Dynasty that was not far behind the black armor guard of Emperor Taizu.

It is known as a blood spattere, and it never dies.

Sun and Moon Army.

The strong military force gave her strong support, and her daughter Princess Yingluan's practice in the local army also provided her with a bridge to communicate with the general army.

The ascendancy of the queen of heaven does not rely on strict punishment and strict laws, nor does it rely on the brutal killing of the family and the royal master.

It depends on the strength of the army.

That is what Zhu Luan said about combat power.

During the reign of Tianhou Niangniang, it is said that the combat power of the Great Zhou army was not inferior to that of Emperor Taizu.

With such a powerful diva, if you want to defeat her, you have to start by cutting off her most powerful power and reliance.

There is another possibility, which is that there is a traitor among them.

Zhu Luan's eyes were deep, and his bright eyes were like ice for the first time.

And after everything is over, those forces that once belonged to that woman will naturally not be able to be trusted, and they will become a flood beast that threatens their status in the eyes of some people.

"Nine years ago, after Ah Yue left, the national teacher issued an order on behalf of His Majesty and dismissed the Sun and Moon Army."

Very good, directly dismissed the most elite army of the Great Zhou, very good, very direct.

Zhu Luan stared coldly at the wooden door of the secret room in front of him.

"The Sun and Moon Army was already heavily damaged in the previous purge, and there were not many people left when it was disbanded."

Gu Shi's voice was calm, and there was blood in front of him that only he could see.

History is often nothing to the real experience, but to the observer.

But he knew that the girl beside him could see it.

The end of the Sun and Moon Army, which is equivalent to the half-body of the mother......

Zhu Luan's mouth was full of rust smell.

When she listened to Princess Jinyang in Lingyan Temple in Huizhou, the picture in front of her was not so strong, but in the faint words of the man next to her, Zhu Luan's eyes were bloody.

"After that, the Black Armor Guard and the Silver Armor Guard were also purged, and many veterans of the major military regions were also sent home."

Of course, it is said that it is repatriation, but it is difficult to say whether some are actually repatriated home.

Veterans, especially those who participated in the Southern Expedition during the reign of Emperor Taizu, and veterans who followed Princess Wen Lingyue of Qin.

Zhu Luan didn't know what to say.

In the army, a veteran oiler can even save the lives of ten to twenty recruits.

"Is that what you're based on?" After Gu Shi finished speaking, he looked at the girl's quiet back and continued to ask.

She can deduce so many things just from the death of her mother, and perceive the crisis in them.

Zhu Luan raised his palm and looked at the lines of his palm.

When he was in Huizhou, the first thing Zhu Luan noticed was the weakening of the combat power of the Great Zhou army.

Everything she experienced confirmed her conjecture, the fragility of the forbidden army around Princess Jinyang, the weakening of the strength of the Great Zhou army, and the infiltration of the power of the Later Jin, all of which were information she received in Huizhou and when she traveled from Huizhou to the Shendu.

This is positive order reasoning.

And after arriving in Shendu, she also got a new message.

"Since you can't fight it yourself, you can only look for allies." Zhu Luan turned around and looked at the man standing up opposite.

Da Zhou is currently extremely eager to form an alliance with Xiliang.

And the urgency of this alliance is unimaginable.

This is the reason why the Great Zhou royal family, represented by Empress Sima, is so courteous to Xiliang Sword Pavilion.

It is also the last key reason why Zhu Luan is sure that Da Zhou's current combat strength cannot defeat Hou Jin.

This is also known as reverse reasoning.

In these days in Shendu, everything that happened in the examination made Zhu Luan feel it very clearly.

From bottom to top, the Great Zhou flattered the Xiliang people.

And this flattery is abnormal.

Although Empress Sima is accustomed to climbing high and stepping low, Zhu Luan knows very well that that woman has always been self-conscious about her identity, and she wants everyone to grovel to her, not herself.

Even though the Xiliang Sword Saint possessed extremely strong strength, Zhu Luan actually believed that there was no one greater in the world in that queen's heart than herself and her husband.

Let her take the initiative to flatter the Xiliang Sword Saint, it is really impossible.

And Sang Yu, as a great grandmaster, is also not a last resort, and he will not get along as friendly as the Xiliang Sword Saint.

Even opened the Great Zhou National Test formulated by Emperor Taizu to the people of Xiliang to such an extent.

All this proves only one thing.

It was the Great Zhou Dynasty that sought an alliance by selling to the Xiliang Sword Pavilion and the Xiliang Imperial Family.

"That's right." Gu Shi's dark eyes flickered, and he also exhaled, "I've actually been staying in Xiliang all these years. ”

Princess Jinyang on the side opened her eyes wide, the countryman went into hiding, everyone didn't know his traces, it turned out that this person went to Xiliang?

"And I've been there for so many years, and I've figured things out." Gu Shi said lightly.

"There's only one thing I can tell you right now."

The man's gaze was complex, with humiliation and anger, but everything turned to firmness in the end.

"Xiliang is the most important ally of the Great Zhou."

"As a last resort, we must win over."

Zhu Luan's eyes froze, after all, she still couldn't personally experience the situation between Xiliang Dazhou and Houjin Wangting, and when she heard Gu Shi's affirmative tone at this time, she was also shocked.

Xiliang was the most important ally of the Great Zhou.

It should be said that it has become the most important ally that must be wooed.

She clenched her fists.

The weakening of combat power is simple, but after destroying everything, it is even more difficult to recover.

It only takes a quarter of an hour to dismiss a veteran, but it takes a full fifteen years to train a veteran.

"It is impossible for Da Zhou's combat power to recover in a short period of time." Gu Shi spoke quietly.

"If you don't join forces with Xiliang."

In the candlelight, the man announced quietly.

"In the face of the Houjin Royal Court, there is no doubt that you will lose."

……

……

In the dead silence of the secret room, Princess Jinyang was shocked and couldn't extricate herself, but then she saw the girl next to her raise her head and look at her with complicated eyes.

"What will those people do in search of an alliance?"

What does that mean?

The next moment, Princess Jinyang heard Gu Shi raise her head and replied very quickly.

"I shouldn't ask for peace."

Hearing the meaning of these words, Princess Jinyang was completely stunned.
