"Aqing, Jiangling has me, you can rest assured."

Gu Yi and several men of the Gu family, looking at Gu Tingcheng, who was dressed in armor and had a heroic posture, also had inexplicable excitement.

Here we go!

It's finally getting started!

From Gu Heng being exiled, the Gu family fled to the Northern Dynasty, and now leading the army back to Jiankang, it has been nearly ten years.

For ten years, the Gu family has been in the south and the north, although the family is not together, they are all working hard.

Especially Ah Qing, in a wild place like Lingnan, she relied on her ingenuity to run a huge territory.

Lingnan is indeed barren and remote, but it is also really big.

From the very beginning of Luozhou, to Yuezhou, as well as Huangzhou, Jiaozhou......

Up to now, there are five states and counties.

If you only count the area of the territory, it occupies nearly two-thirds of the territory of the Southern Dynasties.

Of course, in the inherent thinking of the world, no matter how big Lingnan is, it is also a land of miasma, and it is not as prosperous and rich as Jiangnan.

However, Gu Yi has been in Lingnan, and he knows that Lingnan has already changed.

It is no longer a wild place of exile, but a treasure land of abundant products.

Grain, three crops a year.

Sea salt is inexhaustible.

Sugar, you name it.

The most important thing is that Lingnan is close to the sea, and the local area has excellent shipbuilding technology.

Aqing is a treasure ship and a new route.

Between Lingnan and the inland, although there are five ridges across the country, with the sea passage, it can still run through the traffic from north to south.

In the past, Chen Duan had no food and no money, so he relied on Aqing's fleet to transport boatloads of materials from Lingnan.

"This Chen Duan, I really don't know if he has no conscience or no brain!"

Thinking of a certain treacherous scumbag, Gu Yi's warm and jade-like face rarely showed a look of disdain.

He had complained to his wife Shaw more than once, "Or, is he bad and stupid?"

Unexpectedly, let Aqing, such an almost omnipotent virtuous helper, run to marry some Wang daughter.

Hmph, just for the little bit of military power of the Wang family?

Doesn't Chen Duan know that Ah Qing also has soldiers in his hands?

Over the years, A-Qing has been in Lingnan, but she has been recruiting.

In addition to the Gu family's subordinates and private soldiers, she also recruited her own women's soldiers and wolf soldiers.

Oh, by the way, Ah Qing and the female head of Li are like sisters.

As long as A-Qing speaks, she will be able to borrow troops from the local indigenous tribes in Lingnan.

I dare not say more, thousands of people can always borrow it.

Ah Qing always said that he was "not good at leading troops", so he chose to marry Chen Duan, who held heavy troops.

But in fact, Ah Qing's "unkindness" is only relative.

Compared with the real god of war and the god of war, she is indeed slightly deficient.

Compared with ordinary generals, A-Qing is still very good.

The most important thing is that A-Qing is just not good at leading troops, not good at raising and training troops.

The method of military training she came up with, after several years of persistence, has already trained the Gu family's men and horses into a brave and good fight, united and tenacious king's army.

It's just that A-Qing is too low-key, including Chen Duan, a cheap fiancé, who doesn't know that she still holds tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

The world only thinks that she Gu Aqing is extremely smart and good at housework, only Gu Yi and other close relatives know what kind of strength Gu Qing has against the sky.

Xiao Shi listened to her husband's complaints, and she was also very disdainful of the short-sighted Chen Duan.

However, as the princess of the previous dynasty and the housemother of the Gu family, the Xiao family is still very insightful.

She knows her daughter better.

Therefore, in the matter of his daughter and Chen Duan, Xiao was still able to objectively find the problem-

Chen Duan may not be as bad and stupid as her husband said.

Is there a possibility that the daughter's means are too high, direct"

Killed" Chen Duan.

Before, Xiao Shi felt that his daughter cared too much about Chen Duan, and she was so "virtuous" that she didn't look like a noble and proud daughter of a family.

still received the news that Chen Duan repented of his marriage, and his daughter broke with Chen Duan because of love and hatred and was humiliated, and Xiao Shi vaguely guessed.

Could it be that from the beginning, the daughter did it on purpose?

Not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.

The daughter calculated people's hearts to the extreme, killed Chen Duan, and portrayed herself as a virtuous and virtuous woman who was let down.

Next, the daughter will be the king again, and she will be attacked much less.

「…… Poor Chen, after all, has become a stepping stone for my son to the supreme throne."

Xiao secretly sympathized with Chen Duan for a few seconds, and then put the matter behind him.

Compared with scolding Chen Duan, who is destined to be a loser, Xiao Shi cares more about one thing in his heart -

's own daughter is actually not a person who pays attention to false fame.

Moreover, the so-called history is written by the superiors.

Ah Qing had all kinds of dealings with Chen Duan before, and there was some truth, but it was not necessary.

According to Aqing's wisdom and heart, she shouldn't care about all the storms that a woman has to face when she becomes emperor.

But she still didn't directly erect her own flag, but chose to marry a man according to the old ways, and she hid behind the scenes, acting as a so-called virtuous helper.

This...... It's very inconsistent with Aqing's character.

Xiao is worthy of being Gu Qing's mother-in-law, and he immediately discovered the key to the problem.

As a small partner who has been with Gu Qing for many years, the key is that it can "have a heart" with Gu Qing, and Disaster Water definitely knows Gu Qing very well.

However, it also has the same doubts as Xiao's:

"Your Majesty, I've wanted to ask you for a long time!"

"Why did you choose Chen Duan in the beginning?"

"Actually, with your ability, you don't need to rely on men at all."

Not to mention the current Gu Qing, there are too many plug-ins.

Gu Qing in the previous life, without a so-called system, can still rely on his own intelligence and the support of the Gu family to become the ultimate winner.

In this life, Gu Qing has memories of her previous life, and the system opens her up.

If she wants to become the empress of the world, it can't be said that it is easy, and it is not too difficult.

But she didn't raise the banner of the Gu family herself, and still chose to marry.

Well, Chen Duan has soldiers and is also good at leading soldiers.

Gu Qing used him to charge into battle for himself, but there was some reason.

However, there is not only one Chen Duan in this world, a genius general who can lead troops.

Moreover, if you want a "tool man" who can fight, you don't necessarily have to marry.

As the lord, recruiting the God of War into his command, promising a knighthood and wealth, Gu Qing can do it. She really doesn't need to get married.

Gu Tingcheng listened to the question of the troubled water and was silent for a long time.

Scourge Waters: ...... I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty still has such a "fragile" side?

In the core of the troubled water, Gu Qingcheng has always been a strong and powerful heroine.

She is extremely smart, she has no last resort, she uses people's hearts, and she will do whatever it takes.

She never hides her selfishness, coldness, cruelty and cruelty.

She seems to be an unscrupulous politician without a soft underbelly and a cold heart.

She......

It shouldn't be this confused, fragile look.

Just when the water was confused and suspicious, Gu Qingcheng spoke:

"Perhaps, it's an obsession of mine."

"I am indeed mentally strong, and I don't care about the world."

"However, I am still a human being, and who can really achieve 'independence from the world'."

Not being bothered by other people's eyes and criticisms is not that you really don't care.

The ugliness of the previous life, the failure of the previous life, and the one who finally stood at the top of power

Gu Tingcheng can indeed say that "the light boat has crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains".

However, behind the success, there are still the winds and waves brought by the "Ten Thousand Mountains".

"I'm still a little unwilling, isn't it that looks are everything?"

"If in my previous life, I wasn't the saltless ugly girl known to the world, and Yu Wenheng could still be so arrogant and arrogant to accept the harem?"

"And those courtiers and scholars, will they still attack my appearance, deny my talents, and then 'sympathize' and 'understand' Yu Wenheng's amorous affairs?"

Gu Qingcheng has never been so vulnerable.

At this moment, she is not a powerful and domineering heroine.

She is just a little woman who is deeply bound by her past life.

"So, I just want to give it a try, it's just me, and I'm also willing to be a virtuous helper who leads the army, and I still have a peerless appearance in this life, will I still be let down!"

Gu Qingcheng's voice was very soft, like a murmur in a dream.

A pair of watery autumn pupils, looking in a certain direction distractedly.

Suddenly, she sneered, and the fragility and helplessness that came out from the inside out instantly dissipated.

Gu Qingcheng turned back into the king of the world, "It turns out that the beauty or ugliness of the face does not matter."

"A man has a myriad of reasons to hide his selfishness and greed."

Yu Wenheng in his previous life just used the shortcomings of his original wife to make excuses for his greed and lust.

Scourge Waters: ...... I see!

A suspicious program hidden in the CPU has been completely removed.

Although Her Majesty the Empress has always been powerful, she will also have the fragility of a little woman, slightly out of harmony.

But, damn it's in line with human nature.

Because people are so complicated.

A strong heart and a tough personality do not mean that she has no obsession and no unwillingness.

Besides, marrying Chen Duan is not only to prove some things in his previous life, but also to Gu Tingcheng.

Not to mention anything else, only the defenders of Jiangling, as well as Yang Wei and other former Liang Wang strategists, were the "compensation" that Gu Tingcheng received from King Liang.

There are soldiers and people, the key is to stand on the moral high ground, and Gu Qingcheng's behavior of fighting for hegemony in the world can be understood (pity) by some people.

"In the end, Your Majesty, even if it is for the obsession of the previous life, he has not forgotten the plan of this life."

Woe Shui sighed secretly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, my unwillingness, my obsession, have also been proven!"

"It's not my problem, it's the dog man's fault!"

Gu Qingcheng waved his hand, indicating that it was all over.

Nearly ten years of planning, food, soldiers, ordnance, anti-inflammatory drugs, gunpowder...... It's all ready.

Now, the time has come to hold the banner high.

Gu Chengcheng no longer needs to hesitate, the goal: Jiankang!

On the official road, a large banner embroidered with the word "Gu" is displayed in the wind.

Under the banner of Gu Zi, there are a team of soldiers with bright armor and clean military appearance.

The people along the way, as long as they have some knowledge, have found the clue -

The Gu clan did not raise troops in a hurry, but had been prepared for a long time.

This Jiankang is going to be messy again!
