Chapter 66: Playing the Sword
Yun Yanzheng nodded gratefully, and said with a bright smile: "Sir, there are still two battle reports on the bookcase that I haven't read." My eyes are inconvenient now, can you read it to me? ”
Gu Xi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but laugh angrily: "I was worried that I was going to travel to Wonderland just now, but now I am going to relapse into my old ways?" He gently broke the hand she had been holding him and put it back on her lower abdomen. The dark pupils were dense and unpredictable, and he knew the autumn of the world by looking at a leaf, and said with a smile: "This time, what threat and what strategy does Yun Shuai plan to use to calculate me?" ”
Yun Yanzheng paused, and did not evade the authentic words: "This time, Ben Shuai does not intend to threaten, nor does he intend to calculate, but is asking Mr. in a dignified manner." Ben Shuai encountered a big problem this time, the weather was raining heavily, the situation of the enemy camp was not yet clear, and there were clever new generals in charge. However, the imperial court sent a holy decree yesterday with a fast horse of 800 miles, which was to let Ben Shuai take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the Yu army. At this moment, I don't want to send troops to risk the danger, nor do I want to disrespect the order and affect the people, and I implore Mr. to give advice, give advice on this, and solve problems for this commander? ”
Gu Xi naturally knew that she had already thought of a countermeasure in her heart, and this woman called her name for a while: Gu Shezhi; After a while, he called him "Sir." In her heart, Mr. will naturally not be Mr., but Gu Shezhi is an opponent that her heart and mind are guarding against. He smiled softly with crooked eyebrows, and this time he gave it to her, to her satisfaction, to see what else she could do?
"It's not without strategy, as long as one person stands up to stop Yun Shuai from sending troops; On the other hand, His Majesty Chen Shu elaborated on the reasons and pros and cons, so that he could spend some more time waiting for the changes in the Yu army. In this way, His Majesty blamed him, and the blame did not lie with Yun Shuai and Jiutian Qi. Gu Xi's tone was leisurely, and he pulled a chair to sit down beside her, still in such a casual tone, as if he was completely calm and calm.
Yun Yanzheng's eyebrows gradually became solemn, which was also the idea she had in her heart.
"And this person, not only must have the ability and identity to be able to stop Yun Shuai from sending troops, but also have the courage to bear the heavy responsibilities of His Majesty, and he must also be able to dance with long sleeves and be eloquent, and he has recently been favored and relied on by His Majesty, and it is best to be able to dissolve His Majesty's anger invisibly." Gu Xi's voice was always flat and carefree, just calmly analyzing the feasibility of this countermeasure.
And his graceful coolness made Yun Yanzheng's heart tremble.
After listening to his plan, Yun Yanzheng spit out a sentence for a long time: "This person must also have a fearless heart that can bear heavy responsibilities for more than 300,000 soldiers, and even capital crimes. ”
"I'm willing to be this person." Gu Xi's voice immediately sounded without pause after her words ended. Be willing to be that person, protect your life, protect your sincerity, your feelings, and your dreams.
This sentence was like a sudden thunderclap in her heart, making her heart, and her whole person leaning softly on the chaise longue, not beating, not bouncing.
Yun Yanzheng unconsciously held his breath before he felt the air re-enter his chest. She wanted to say something more, but her throat seemed to be choked, she could not guarantee his safety, nor could she promise him anything, just because she had already died, but she was carrying a mountain on her shoulder.
Even though I couldn't see, I could still hear the crackling sound of the torrential rain outside the window, and it never stopped.
"If I die because of this, will you miss me?" His gaze fixed on her seemingly quiet face, and he asked softly.
Yun Yanzheng shuddered in her heart, and turned her eyes to look, but she only saw his vague silhouette as promised, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see his face clearly. His voice was still so graceful, she couldn't tell the difference between this sentence at all, was he asking a joke, or was it serious?
"I will not forget the old man who promised me this promise in the past, who sang generously for more than 300,000 soldiers and resolutely played the sword, if there is really this day, I will always make you not lonely in front of the grave." Yun Yanzheng smiled faintly, but replied in a low voice. Her pale complexion didn't seem to be able to distinguish her expression.
The corners of Gu Xi's lips turned up, smiled lightly, and said so casually: "If this is the case, the eldest princess needs to remember that every year in the future, good songs, good wine, and good piano will come to sacrifice to me." ”
The purple lightning outside the window flashed like a snake, and in the continuous series of thunderous and angry sounds, her face turned even paler.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the gentleman is unpredictable, the thunder and rain of the emperor, life and death, all in a thought.
Yun Yanzheng doesn't know how, even if you are clever and skillful, even if you are a genius, as long as you are angry and rebellious, there is only a thousand tortures in front of you, and there is a dead end. What's more, she knows that although the imperial brother has the heart to cherish talents, it is difficult to tolerate people.
In her thoughts, half of her heart was for the kingdom of Wei, and half for this rival who was also friend and foe. Even though he has all kinds of suspicions about him, but after thinking about it in every way, he can clearly see that his talent is in the mud of a monarch like Wei Kingdom, and he will not be truly appreciated, and his life should be a sea and sky. If the imperial brother is to blame, it will also be a good time for Gu Shezhi to leave the kingdom of Wei.
Gu Xi is alone, has no scruples, and can go away at any time. With his talent, since he can be appreciated by the monarch of the Ul Kingdom, it is not difficult to think about it in other countries. But the Nine Heavens Ride is the foundation of the survival of the Ul Kingdom, and whether Gu Shezhi can settle down in the Ul Kingdom and serve the Ul Kingdom is an unknown number, the two sides are trade-offs, the Ul Kingdom needs to be in Kyushu step by step, and she is unwilling to take the risk of letting the Emperor take the opportunity to damage the Nine Heavens Ride; Even if his talent is overwhelming, he has to use his identity and strength to preserve the military strength of the Wei State. The only thing that made her a little indecisive was that she didn't want to hurt his life at the moment, and she only hoped that her decision would not make her regret it in the future.
Yun Yanzheng lay on the recliner with his eyes closed, listening to Gu Xi's affairs.
These days, the outside of the study of the hotel is quietly guarded, in case the enemy spies look at the truth of the commander of the Wei army. Since that day, Gu Xi has been handling military affairs on her behalf, but he is not unfamiliar at all, he has never concealed it, or asked her opinion, so bluntly presented his military talents in front of her, and let her guess, how can he, a person who is not well-known on the battlefield, have such a sophisticated and solid experience?
These days, in addition to resting, Yun Yanzheng drinks medicine, listens to spy reports, hears decisions, and has some time when he doesn't think about anything, quietly spoils for a while, and occasionally thinks about interesting things when he was young. It's been a long time since she's been so free, and it's been a long time since she's had someone to share her worries, a long, long time ago, when the Queen Mother was still by her side.
Looking back now, so much time has passed, so long that every detail is so clearly engraved in my mind, so clear that it is indelible to the point that it is indelible.
Yun Yan suddenly became clear, it turned out that the time she could cherish and the happiness she could remember were so few. So little that every time she recalled, it was so detailed.
Gu Xi spoke for a long time, but he didn't hear her speak. He habitually looked up from the briefing and turned his eyes to the man lying next to him. Seeing that she was in a daze again for some reason, he found that this person was very easy to wander these days, often he was talking about something, she didn't answer, and she was already wandering out of the world.
But when she came back to her senses, Gu Xi found that every word and word he said could be retold in its original form, and then her own opinions and analysis would be added. He originally thought she was quite smart, but now he realized that she had such a special talent, and couldn't help but nod secretly, if she was really his disciple, she would be a good seedling that could be cultivated through experience.
"Yun Yan Zheng." He didn't know how many times he had called her by her name. With his elegance, his patience could wait until she was in a daze before continuing to talk, anyway, in the face of the war that was about to turn upside down in this country, I don't know who is more nervous and worried than whom. But he found that he found that he disliked her more and more laziness, neglect, and disrespect for him as a military advisor, and he couldn't help but take the trouble to call her by her name again and again, and beckoned her spirit to return.
Yun Yanzheng heard the voice in his ears, which was always as gentle as ever, and came back to his senses as always, and the corners of his lips smiled slightly. Looking at him, his eyes were full of leisurely laziness, and he apologized again: "People are a little tired, and the chair is very comfortable to lie on." Unconsciously wandered again, the military advisor must not be surprised. ”
"It doesn't matter." Gu Xi said idly, looking at her with a smile. The emotion in the dark pupils will always be unreal, and he whispered: "The report came back, and the general in the Yu army was finally persuaded to rebel. At that time, we will join forces inside and outside and break the city in one fell swoop. ”
Yun Yanzheng was slightly stunned, saw that he was smiling a little sly, came to his senses, and immediately answered: "Is this news credible?" She knew that this person would not say something useless for no reason, and that he must be working on some kind of ploy again. Yun Yan cooperated with a smile, and his tone and words were seamless at the moment, neither as if they had already been discussed, nor as if they did not know anything.
Gu Xi nodded slightly, smiled at her calmly, and said, "During this period, there was some turmoil in the Yu Kingdom. Some officials were impeached by the imperial history for embezzling military salaries and materials, and withholding armaments. Now is the time when Yu State sends troops, once these corrupt officials are strictly investigated and punished, not only their lives are at stake, but they also have to sit in nine clans. ”
These things, she had also seen on the intelligence sent back by the spies of Yuguo, and she thought that when the troops were dispatched, the Empress of Yuguo would not punish them strictly, and everything would be settled until the end of the war. Otherwise, it will be difficult to control the officials who have caused an uproar in the country, and if they are involved in anything with the senior officers who are going on expeditions abroad, it will shake the morale of the military.
