Because of Shen Che's letter, everyone's plan to leave Haoguo and return to Yiguo was temporarily put on hold.

Lu Yingquan finally knew the news of Shen Che, and when he thought that he was going to meet, he could only stay in Haoguo, and he couldn't help but flash a trace of frustration in his heart, but such a pessimistic mood quickly disappeared.

Because she thought that at least Shen Che had returned to Yiguo safely now, and had not fallen into the hands of the Empress Dowager Qin, this was already the best result.

Although I can't see it now, it doesn't mean I won't see it forever.

"Things still have to be packed, even if we can't go back to Yiguo for the time being, we can't continue to live here. After thinking about it, Yun Yao came to such a conclusion.

Gu Qingming nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Yes, Mrs. Min's matter is exposed, and the Empress Dowager Qin will more or less hear about it, if we continue to stay here, if the position is exposed, I am afraid that it will cause death." ”

He didn't exaggerate the seriousness of the matter, and Lu Yingquan and Sisi also knew that it was not the first time that Empress Dowager Qin had sent a killer anyway, and if it was to completely disintegrate Shen Che's forces this time, it would be possible to do anything.

"Miss Yun, General Gu, where are we going to move to?" Si Si couldn't help asking.

She doesn't have the same transparent mind as Yun Yao and Gu Qingming, and what she cares about most is nothing more than everyone's safety and the child in Lu Yingquan's belly, so why can't she continue to stay here, she doesn't care, what she cares about is where she will go next.

"I'll go out and inquire in a while, find another remote place, and settle down for a few days for the time being. Gu Qingming said, "Your Highness's letter is urgent, and we have to carefully analyze the situation in front of us before we can judge what to do next." It would be great if they could echo the situation on His Highness's side and cooperate with each other. ”

"That's right. Yun Yao nodded, then looked at Gu Qingming and asked, "By the way, since Yiguo and Ning Gong are at war, doesn't it matter if you don't go back?" After all, those soldiers and horses were all trained by you. ”

"It's not time yet. Gu Qingming shook his head, "If it is said that it is a war, that is also our statement, but in fact, Qin Yuankai did not bring many people, and the purpose of his southward trip this time was not to conquest, but to arrest." Therefore, no matter how tense the situation is now, it is all a small fight, and it is not yet time for me to come forward. ”

Yun Yao probably understood what Gu Qingming meant, the fact that he helped King Yi train was still unknown, and the Empress Dowager Qin didn't know about King Yi's private military training, so Gu Qingming's existence was a trump card in King Yi's hand, and he would definitely not use it easily unless he had to.

At this time, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Qin, Gu Qingming was afraid that he was still the one who was demoted to a commoner and rushed back to his hometown because of the emperor's momentary anger, so Gu Qingming should be in Jeju's hometown now, not in Yiguo.

"Then I'll go pack my things first. Sisi didn't pay much attention to these remarks, just said so, and then turned to go back to clean up.

Fortunately, when they came, they didn't bring much things, and after so many hours, Lu Yingquan's fetal pills were almost drunk, so it was even easier to clean up, and they stopped after a while.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Yao and Sisi went to the small kitchen to make breakfast, while Gu Qingming went out in disguise to find a new place to live, and Achen guarded in the dark, not letting anyone approach.

The people of Haoguo on the street are still the same as before, and there is no difference. It seems that Yiguo and Ninggong are in confrontation, and the news of the alliance between Haoguo and Yiguo has not yet come out, so naturally, it has not affected the normal life of these people.

Gu Qingming was walking alone on the street, but he was analyzing the current situation in his mind, at this moment, he exerted the insight and acumen that a military genius should have, and saw the essence through the phenomenon, and saw the current battle situation clearly in an instant.

In Gu Qingming's opinion, Qin Yuankai should not have brought many soldiers and horses, and it is estimated that there will be 20,000 at most, because the fiefdom defenders of Yiguo are only 20,000, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses trained in the barren mountains will not be released unless they are a last resort.

Therefore, now it is just the Empress Dowager Qin and Qin Yuankai who are testing Shen Che's attitude, on the surface, they have bad intentions and want to arrest Shen Che, but in fact, the Empress Dowager Qin has no evidence of Shen Che's rebellion in her hands, and this move is just for the world to see, she can't really correct Shen Che on the spot immediately.

But if Shen Che dared to resist Qin Yuankai, it would just give the Empress Dowager Qin a reason to send troops, which was what the Empress Dowager Qin really wanted. So, it's not the most critical time.

What's more, in addition to the 50,000 horses and horses in the Gyeonggi Guard Patrol Battalion, the Empress Dowager Qin could not transfer other soldiers and horses for the time being. So Empress Dowager Qin can only be bluffing now.

Just when Gu Qingming was thinking about all this, Yun Yao in the small courtyard was also thinking about the current situation, but she did not analyze it from the advantages and disadvantages of soldiers and horses, but from the character and consistent methods of the Empress Dowager Qin.

She always felt that a person like the Empress Dowager Qin was far-sighted and always considered getting greater benefits at the lowest cost, even if she and Shen Che tore their faces, she would not go to war easily, let alone use the people of the Gyeonggi Guard Patrol Battalion to fight Shen Che.

And what she is most likely to do is to use her strength. With the help of the power of the vassal king, she will destroy the vassal king, let the vassal kings fight each other and fight among themselves, and she will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Yun Yao, what are you thinking?" Lu Yingquan walked to the small kitchen and saw Yun Yao chopping vegetables, but pondering, almost cutting his fingers several times without knowing it, so he asked.

Yun Yao heard the voice, came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Lu Yingquan, and said, "I'm thinking, among the vassal kings, who will become the supporter of the Empress Dowager Qin, and who may be the next person we can woo." ”

"What are you bothering about, what we can do now is to wait for news from Your Highness and see when we can return to Yiguo. Lu Yingquan said, "Is it possible, do you really want to learn from the female Zhuge of the previous dynasty and occupy a place in this troubled world?"

"No, I didn't do anything to make a name for myself, but to end it all as soon as possible. Yun Yao said, "It's definitely not a matter of one or two days to go back to Yiguo, since we can't go back, it's not a way to stay in Haoguo, why don't we just go and help His Highness seek more alliances?"

Listening to Yun Yao's slightly shocking words, Lu Yingquan was a little stunned, but he always felt that what Yun Yao said was very reasonable.

Although this is not something that women should consider and worry about, wouldn't it be better if they could help His Highness win more alliances and end this dispute as soon as possible?

"Do you have any thoughts in your heart?" Lu Yingquan asked cautiously.

Yun Yao pondered for a moment and said: "Let's wait for Qingming to come back, he always understands the major events of war better than me, even if I have more ideas in my heart, it is useless, I have to ask him first." ”

Lu Yingquan nodded, thinking deeply, but then said with a smile: "Yun Yao, you are now a Qingming, and you are very enthusiastic! In the past, you would blush when you mentioned General Gu, but now you can't care about it at all? After getting along for so many days day and night, it is different, and now when I see you, I actually have a feeling of being a husband and a wife." ”

"No matter how calm you are, I can't stand your jokes!" Yun Yao also smiled bitterly, "You don't know, I have a thin face, and I always like to make fun of me." ”

"Okay, I won't cancel you in the future!" Yingquan also knew Yun Yao's heart, and said, "I sincerely bless you and General Gu, and I also hope that everything will be over, so that you can have a lover and become a family together." ”

Sisi listened to Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan's words, and kept pursing her lips and snickering beside her, always feeling that after her master and Miss Yun left the palace, they talked a lot more casually.

It's okay for the little sisters to make some innocuous jokes between them, and such a free and comfortable atmosphere is something that would never have been there when they were in Yiwang Palace.

And at that time, I was afraid and cautious, just to be able to speak freely one day.

As soon as the meal was ready, Gu Qingming came back.

"What a coincidence that the general came back just in time for dinner. Lu Yingquan said with a smile, "By the way, how is the matter at the residence?"

"I found a house on the side of the West Lane, the place is quiet and comfortable, and it is not too noticeable. We'll move over when we have dinner, it's not too far from here, and it's convenient to get there. Gu Qingming said.

"That's good. Lu Yingquan nodded, "Just when you came back, Yun Yao said that there are still some things to ask you." It's not that I'm in a hurry, but the current situation is urgent, so you should discuss it quickly. ”

When Gu Qingming heard this, he hurriedly asked Yun Yao what was going on, and Yun Yao said what she had just said to Lu Yingquan to Gu Qingming again.

When the words fell, Gu Qingming fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of Yun Yao's proposal.

After a long time, he raised his head, looked at Yun Yao, and said, "I also analyzed it on the road before, and came to the conclusion that the Empress Dowager Qin's hands were not enough, but I didn't think much about it, thinking that she would use her strength to fight. It seems that I haven't thought it through enough. ”

"What does it matter, what you are good at is arranging troops, and what I am good at is calculating people's hearts, and complementing each other can be beneficial. Yun Yao said, "Since you think what I said is reasonable, then can you agree with my approach?"

"You mean to help His Highness win more alliances?" Gu Qingming asked rhetorically, and then said, "It's not impossible, but we can't fall into the net ourselves." If we really want to continue the alliance, we must first exclude the vassal kings who are most likely to defect to the Empress Dowager Qin. ”

Yun Yao nodded, indicating that she understood.

If the place they go to happens to be the territory controlled by the Empress Dowager Qin, it will be tantamount to throwing themselves into a net. The vassal kings who were controlled by the Empress Dowager Qin, no matter how they lobbied, it was difficult for them to change their minds, and it was even possible to expose their purposes.

What Gu Qingming said is indeed a problem, so even if her idea is feasible, it is still difficult to operate in practice.

The two of them fell silent and concentrated on eating, no matter what they were going to do, the main thing now was to move out of this courtyard and live in a safe place.

Otherwise, even his life will be gone, what is there to talk about fighting for the alliance, and how can he see the prosperity after this change?
