Chapter 164: Sweet Dew on the Battlefield
"That's what I guessed." Tang Chuxiao's eyes flashed with emotion, although the speed was extremely fast, but it was still keenly noticed by Su, so Su Hu glanced at Tang Chuxiao suspiciously, and asked:
"Chu Xiao, what do you seem to know?" After saying this, Su seriously stared at Tang Chuxiao, and wanted to read any clues from her expression, but what puzzled Su was that Tang Chuxiao's expression was very normal:
"Sister, what are you thinking? I know almost everything. β
Seeing that there was really nothing wrong with Tang Chuxiao's expression, Su suppressed the confusion in his heart, maybe he was dazzled just now.
"Miss, Miss Gu, please go to the Imperial Forest Army garrison." Zhiqi's voice sounded above the eaves, Su nodded, presumably his cousin had also received the news of the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Yuan Kingdom.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Today's Huaguo is really eventful. There are three princes rebelling inside, and there is Dongyi outside, and now there is a Yuan country with the same strength as Huaguo, although the imperial city is besieged, but the rest of Huaguo seems to have not gotten this news, no rebellion and no one came to the rescue.
But sometimes, the calmest thing is precisely the weirdest, and Su has a hunch that it won't end so easily. What's more, now countless small affiliated countries of China are in a wait-and-see attitude, if they think that the general trend of China has gone and come to get a piece of the pie, this matter will be even more troublesome.
Thinking like this, Sue's mood was even more chaotic. She only hopes that Huaguo can be peaceful and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and then realize her ambitions in the court, but even such a simple wish has become a luxury at such a moment.
After a while, he finally arrived at the garrison of the Imperial Forest Army, but Su found that the state of the Imperial Forest Army today was different from that of the sister when she took office some time ago.
If the previous Imperial Guards were a sharp arrow, but now this arrow seems to have been worn out, losing its previous sharpness, and the entire garrison is filled with a dead and dull feeling, and the depressed people can hardly breathe.
Hurriedly lifted the curtain of the big tent where Gu Qingge was and walked inside, but Su was taken aback when he saw the scene inside.
Gu Qingge did not wear armor on his upper body, but casually wore a white middle coat, but Su could still clearly see that the underside of the middle coat was wrapped in thick gauze.
"Cousin, what's going on?" Looking at Gu Qingge's upper body, although he couldn't see the injury, with such a degree of bandaging, Su knew that Gu Qingge's injury was definitely not light.
"The sword has no eyes, and injuries are just a common thing in soldiers." Gu Qingge said lightly, and then looked at Su with a light smile: "You have always been smart, except for Mr. Zhi Demon among the people I know, you are the most clever, then you might as well guess, what do you want to say when I asked you to come this time?" β
"Is it about the 200,000 troops of the Yuan Kingdom?" Watching Gu Qingge change the topic, Su Ye didn't ask anymore with interest, but guessed along Gu Qingge's meaning.
"Half and half." Gu Qingge sat on the chair and said softly: "Cousin, do you know that the food in the imperial city is no longer enough......
Although this sentence was soft, Su was really surprised: "How is it possible?" Although the Imperial City has been besieged, hasn't the supply in the Imperial City always been sufficient? β
"The Imperial City has long been an empty shell, and it is just a faΓ§ade." Gu Qingge smiled a little bleakly: "To be honest, I may be able to do well in marching and fighting, and the balance of power, but I lack too much in terms of power schemes." β
Hearing Gu Qingge say this, Su smiled faintly. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why she is willing to support Gu Qingge. A monarch can be extremely outstanding, he can know how to balance, but he can't be too scheming. It is precisely because of this that Gu Qingge is more suitable for that position than anyone else.
"How long can the food in the imperial city be supported now?"
Sighing softly, Gu Qingge replied, "At most, I can only hold on for more than a month." With the current situation, if it can't be improved, even if I have the power to reach the sky, I can only end up at the end of the road, cousin, what plan do you have? β
Su Jingjing glanced at Gu Qingge, perhaps because of too much pressure, Gu Qingge had obviously lost a lot of weight. A faint pity appeared in his eyes, Su lowered his head and muttered for a long time before replying: "I may have a way for the current situation, but I may need Ziyu's help." β
"Now my identity is not suitable for dealing with Mr. Demon, cousin, I'm sorry for you." Su nodded, and the moment he walked out of the big tent, his originally calm expression became solemn.
She didn't expect the situation in the Imperial City to be so grim. Thinking of the strategy that had taken shape in his mind when he analyzed the situation yesterday, Su sighed silently.
She didn't want to toss herself like this, but now it seems that she has to do it herself.
"Do you want to go to Dongyi as an envoy of the Chinese Kingdom?" looked at Su Yi thoughtfully, Ji Ziyu was as calm as jade, but there was a faint dark tide surging in his eyes: "Prince Ning is now trapped in Dongyi, do you want to save him?" β
"Ziyu, don't make fun of me." Helplessly, Su said: "Now the three princes, Yuanguo, and Dongyi are almost attacking the imperial city on three sides, and it is impossible for the three princes to turn back, and I don't know about Yuanguo, so I can only make a fuss about Dongyi." β
"Sooner or later, you'll get to know Yuanguo." Saying this lightly, Ji Ziyu shook the teacup in his hand, and his long eyelashes brushed a shadow, making it impossible to see his thoughts: "I didn't want to get involved in this matter, and I have already rejected Ah Yan's request, but now it seems that I have said the two things together." β
"Ayan?" Su raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Is it your younger brother Ji Ziyan in Xiguo?" β
"Hmm." Responding gently, Ji Ziyu smiled clearly, and a touch of warmth flashed in his eyes: "Ah Yan was originally stationed in Tai'an County, where your father Su An is located, and when he heard about the current situation in Huaguo, he specially came to look for me and asked me to introduce him on his behalf." β
Father, Su'an, Tai'an County. The familiar words that had not been heard for a long time appeared in her ears again, and Su was in a trance for a moment, how long had it been, and she had not returned to the country.
Seeing Su's thoughts flying, Ji Ziyu smiled lightly: "Ah Yan is in the backyard, do you want to see him?" β
"No need." Su came back to his senses: "I remember that your brother has quite a set of marching formations, Huaguo has been heavy on literature and light on military force for many years, and there are few people available, and now he has appeared, which can be described as timely rain." β
"I'll visit Emperor Hua tomorrow, and speaking of which, Yu has never seen him yet."
"Mr. Zhi Demon is famous, and when he heard Ziyu's visit, Emperor Hua was afraid that he would jump up excitedly." and Ji Ziyu looked at each other and smiled, and the warm current surged.
