After lunch, everyone took their luggage and went to the newly found accommodation under the leadership of Gu Qingming.

The West Lane in Gu Qingming's mouth was really not very far from the small courtyard where they originally lived, and it was less than half an hour to walk over, and even 6 Yingquan, a person who was pregnant with Liujia, did not feel half tired.

The so-called three holes of cunning rabbits are probably talking about them. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Empress Dowager Qin, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they can only use this way.

The new house is similar to the original courtyard, and Gu Qingming deliberately found a place that is not much different, so as not to make everyone unaccustomed to it.

Because she had just moved to a new place, Sisi was busy tidying up, and Yun Yao saw that the medicinal materials needed by 6 Yingquan were almost gone, so she said that she would go to the street to buy some more.

Gu Qingming didn't worry about her going out alone, so he went with her.

6 Yingquan sat bored in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, and the coolness of the ice jade mat permeated her whole body, which made her feel cold.

Only now did she realize that the hottest time of the year had long since passed, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, the weather was no longer as hot as before, but slowly cooler.

In fact, when leaving the Temple of Mercy and Grace, 6 Yingquan thought that everything was very simple, she always thought that she was just coming to Haoguo for a trip and signing an alliance with King Hao as Queen Yi, as for how to form an alliance and what kind of method to use, that was something that Yun Yao and Gu Qingming should consider.

She never thought that she would be trapped in Haoguo and couldn't get out. Probably because things were too smooth before, they successfully gained Shen Che's trust, successfully concealed all the details of the Empress Dowager Qin, successfully arrived in Haoguo, and even found the weakness of King Hao...... So much so that she forgot that the Empress Dowager Qin of Ning Palace was such a ruthless and difficult person to deal with.

Thinking of this, 6 Yingquan sighed, always feeling that he couldn't sit like this, he had to do something for Yun Yao and them, and he couldn't hold back every time.

"Sisi, give me the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to the courtyard. 6Yingquan sat up from the chair and shouted into the room.

Sisi was cleaning up the bed, but when she heard the voice, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came out with the things that 6 Yingquan needed. She spread the rice paper on the stone table in the courtyard, then washed the pen and grinded it, and handed it to 6 Yingquan.

"Master, are you going to write a letter to Your Highness?" asked Sisi, as if she couldn't think of any reason why 6 Yingquan needed pen and paper other than writing a letter.

"No, I want to help Yun Yao and them come up with ideas, but I'm not as smart as Yun Yao, so I can only use this stupid method, maybe I can provide them with some inspiration. 6Yingquan was accustomed to being modest, and then commanded, "All right, you go and do your work, I don't have to wait here, I will call you when I need it." ”

Sisi answered, and went into the house to continue to work, leaving 6 Yingquan alone in the yard, writing and drawing on paper and pen, and didn't know what he was doing.

Just after the hour, Yun Yao and Gu Qingming returned. Yun Yao was empty-handed, but Gu Qingming was carrying a large bag of things in his hand, including medicinal herbs prepared for 6 Yingquan, as well as some snacks, fresh vegetables and meat, which looked like he was living at home.

If it weren't for everyone knowing in their hearts what kind of situation they were in now, I am afraid that they would really think that Gu Qingming and Yun Yao were ordinary people who were in love with the city.

"Why did you buy so many things?" 6 Yingquan heard the movement, raised his head, and looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"I don't know how long I'll live here, so I'll just buy more. Yun Yao said, "Reducing the number of times you go out can also reduce the chance of being seen." ”

"You're tired after walking for a long time, go and rest for a while, I'll put these things away first. Gu Qingming said to Yun Yao, and then went in with a large bag.

Yun Yao sat down opposite 6 Yingquan, and when she saw 6 Yingquan writing and drawing, she couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm learning from you. 6 Yingquan said with a smile, "Earlier, you got a fake topographic map of the barren mountains for the Empress Dowager Qin, saying that it was copied from a book from memory, and I will try to see if I can draw it." ”

When Yun Yao heard this, she couldn't help but be curious, walked behind 6 Yingquan, looked at the rice paper again, and suddenly understood what 6 Yingquan was painting.

"It's Daning's territory!" Yun Yao exclaimed, "Yingquan, how did you know so much detail?"

"Like you, it's all drawn from memory. 6 Yingquan said with a smile, "In the past, when I was the emperor in the Ning Palace, I saw it on the emperor's desk, so I thought about drawing it to see if I could help you." ”

Yun Yao understood the meaning of 6 Yingquan, after all, the fall out between Yiguo and Ning Palace was a civil war related to Daning Kingdom, and the remaining six feudal kings could not be left alone, if they wanted to seek the most advantageous alliance, it would never be possible to imagine it alone, and Daning's territory could help her see the situation clearly.

Thinking of this, Yun Yao also got up, sat on the side and waited for 6 Yingquan to finish painting.

After a while, Gu Qingming also came out, since he was Daning's general, he must be extremely familiar with Daning's territory, and he only needed a glance to know what 6 Yingquan was doing.

Seeing Yun Yao's serious expression, Gu Qingming also sat down on the side, looking at the last part of the painting by 6 Yingquan, he couldn't help but speak: "Although Southwest County belongs to Jingguo, the soldiers and horses are all the old troops of General Wu, and the military power is in my hands, so I don't have to be afraid." ”

6 When Yingquan heard this, the pen paused slightly, glanced at Yun Yao, and continued to paint.

Yun Yao's heart was stunned by 6 Yingquan's eyes, and her originally calm mood also had a slight sourness. Probably she understood the meaning of 6 Yingquan's glance because Gu Qingming mentioned General Wu.

Counting up, Gu Qingming also has a fiancée who has been married by the Holy Decree, and she is still waiting for him in the Ning Palace.

Although Wu Qianwen grew up in the army and didn't know much about the etiquette in the palace, she still knew some things about Gu Qingming, such as why Gu Qingming agreed to marry by holy decree in the first place, that is, the emperor and King Yi asked him to take over the old general Wu's old department.

Now Gu Qingming has "resigned" for more than a year, but for Wu Qianwen, there is no news, and I don't know what happened to Wu Qianwen, will she gradually despair in the endless waiting, and then simply betray Gu Qingming completely?

Compared with the fact that Gu Qingming has a fiancée, Yun Yao is more worried about Gu Qingming's safety, and is afraid that Wu Qianwen will die and break the net, which is the same as 6 Yingquan often worries about whether Jiang Yi will betray Shen Che.

However, no one continued to mention this matter, because it was useless to mention it, and now is not the time to talk about children's private affairs.

Soon, 6 Yingquan finished drawing the territory of Daning, put it in front of Gu Qingming and Yun Yao, and then said: "Look at it, Yiguo can't go back now, how should we go next?"

Yun Yao glanced at Gu Qingming and took the lead in speaking: "Haoguo is already the help of His Highness, so we can ignore it for the time being, and the remaining five feudal countries, excluding those that the Empress Dowager Qin can co-opt, and the rest of us will have to attack from afar." ”

"From what you can see, who might the Empress Dowager Qin be wooing?" Gu Qingming asked.

Yun Yao recalled in her mind what the Empress Dowager Qin had said to her in the past, and the flaws of those vassal kings flashed in her mind one by one. She stretched out her hand, pointed to the place where Chengguo was, and said:

"Chengwang Shen Ping, it is said that he is greedy for money and powerful, and he is a wall grass who does not have a firm position. It is the easiest one to be bought by the Empress Dowager Qin with money, so we must exclude Chengguo first. ”

"Yes, I have also heard of what King Cheng did. People who can be bought with money usually betray because of greater interests, not to mention, His Royal Highness King Cheng is not the kind of far-sighted person, and at present, Yiguo's financial resources are not as good as Ning Palace, and he can't meet his requirements, so His Royal Highness King Yiwang can't compete with the Empress Dowager Qin. Gu Qingming nodded, agreeing with Yun Yao's opinion.

"It just so happens that Chengguo is also located in the north, the closest to Ning Palace, and the Empress Dowager Qin must win over King Chengwang first. 6 Yingquan said in a timely manner, "That means that we can't go to Chengguo, and what about the four sub-feudal countries?"

"Biwang Shen Hong will not consider it for the time being. Yun Yao thought for a while and said, "Biguo and Yi are too close, if King Bi is rebelled by the Empress Dowager Qin, Yi Guo is in danger." In addition, King Bi is the oldest of the surviving heirs of the first emperor, and there have been rules for standing up for succession since ancient times, if the emperor really abdicates, His Royal Highness King Bi will not be able to give birth to the idea of competing with His Royal Highness King Yi. ”

"Then in the same way, Ruiwang Shen Chi can also be excluded. Gu Qingming then said, "Although King Rui has an impulsive personality and is brave and unscrupulous, his ambitions have always been on the surface, and he has recruited troops many times in the name of preventing Nanyi from attacking, he is only afraid that he is not very willing to surrender to His Highness." ”

6 Yingquan looked at Gu Qingming and Yun Yao, you said a word, but in just three or two sentences, the whole thing became clear, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart, and then said:

"Then now there are only Jing King Shen Xun and Jade King Shen Hu left. I think we can start with the Jade King first. ”

"Why do you say that?" Yun Yao asked.

"Do you remember the letter from His Highness?" 6 Yingquan said, "When he fled the capital, he used the Jade King as an excuse to find Divine Doctor Xue to treat His Royal Highness the Jade King, which can be regarded as the origin of our relationship with the Jade King. And I remember you once said that His Royal Highness the Jade King is weak, and the Jade Kingdom is usually taken care of by the Jade Queen. is also a woman, and there must be a lot of common topics. ”

Yun Yao and Gu Qingming glanced at each other, then looked at Daning's territory, and nodded at the same time.

In addition to the reason that 6 Yingquan said, another point is that the geographical location of the Jade Kingdom is just in line with what Yun Yao said before.

The Jade Kingdom is located in the northwest direction of several sub-feudal states in Daning, bordering the Hao Kingdom, but there is a Jingguo separated from the Yi Kingdom, so there is no need to worry about the close threat of the Jade Kingdom. What's more, if the alliance with the Jade State is successful, it will be equivalent to the three feudal states of Yiguo, Hao and Jade Kingdom, and surround Jingguo, even if King Jing has the intention to be an enemy of Yiguo, he has to weigh whether he has the ability to do so.

"The Jade Country is far away from the Hao Country where we are, and there are Chengguo and Jingguo in between, if we want to go to the Jade Country, we must choose one of these two places to pass. After Gu Qingming looked at the map, he said, "Chengguo has already said just now that you can't go, so I suggest going north through Jingguo and arriving in Jade Country." ”
