"General, you're back."

As soon as Gu Simiao returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Cangyue, the commander of the guards, greeted her.

"Cangyue."

Gu Simiao turned over and dismounted, handed the reins of Cangyun BMW to the soldiers on the side, and then walked inside, while asking Cangyue, "How are you prepared for the things you explained before?" ”

"Back to the general."

Cangyue said solemnly: "The 90,000 soldiers and horses of Qingyingwei, Qingxuanwei and Qingfengwei have rushed to the designated place in twelve ways according to the general's orders, and it is expected that the reinforcement process of the large array will be completed within five days." ”

"Good."

Gu Simiao nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Chuan Ben Shuai ordered, except for the 300,000 guards who were about to open the southern front and act with the Queen Mother's people, the rest of the guards should seize the time according to the original plan, but those who delay the action will be punished for delaying the military aircraft!"

"No!"

Cangyue turned to leave, and Gu Simiao walked alone towards the bedroom in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Click...

The moment the bedroom door closed, she suddenly took a deep breath, and then her breathing gradually became rapid.

The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time completely exploded at this moment.

She raised her trembling little hand and pressed her heart slightly hard, holding down the violent ups and downs inside.

It took a moment before she put her hand down.

In his eyes, the confusion that had been left completely dissipated at this moment.

"Six days..."

Turning his head, he looked out the window at the blizzard that hit again, like a whisper, and the words that only he could hear slowly sounded.

"Give me another six days, and I'll be able to give you back a great deal of merit, so that you can ...... from now on Steady as Mount Tai in the middle of the court, and then... Create the peaceful world you want......"

…………

On the third day after the Gu family was released from prison, the atmosphere of the entire Luojing government and the opposition suddenly became a little weird.

Fast horses after fast horses kept shuttling through Suzaku Street, and the messenger on horseback had an almost anxious look on his face.

And in this extremely tense atmosphere, Lu Chen took a day off and went to the mansion rewarded by the empress for most of the day.

Of course, the title deed or something was also easily changed to Luo Xiaoyu's name by him.

Unconsciously, Luo Xiaoyu's worth skyrocketed again, as if she had become a little rich woman in Luo Jing.

It's just that she herself is unaware of this, and as always, she plays the role of a maid by Lu Chen's side.

The mansion rewarded by the empress is located in the east city, not far from the purple pole city, it is a five-entry mansion, the former owner is the former household department Shangshu, after being liquidated by the empress and raiding the house, it has become the asset of the imperial court.

Or the empress's assets, you can reward them to whoever you want.

It's just that in the end, it fell into Luo Xiaoyu's pocket......

Moving to a new house is naturally inevitable to celebrate with wine, which is also one of the best opportunities for ancient feudal society to receive gifts and give gifts, and to climb up the ranks.

It's just that although Lu Chen is now the leading celebrity in the Yongchu Dynasty, he is too upright and does not show the slightest appearance of "human sophistication", which is too incompatible with officialdom.

Therefore, no one dared to criticize him.

Can you not talk about it, Lu Chen was charged with forming a party for personal gain and accepting it privately.

Although high risk means high returns, the risk is so high that people dare not take risks.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Chen's mudslide, which is not tolerated in officialdom, will naturally be rejected by traditional court officials such as Qian Yiqian.

Such an alternative official is simply in the emperor's heart and is trusted by the empress, which is not a good thing for officialdom.

In the end, only Fang Ping, Xiao Yi, and a few people who were excluded by the Queen Mother's henchmen like him at the beginning were the only ones who came to congratulate him after he got off duty, but they didn't have such a "kind" thing as him.

The gifts they give are also very simple, most of them are the four treasures of the study, calligraphy and painting, and other literati things, not valuable things.

Thinking about it, they also took into account that Lu Chen was so upright, and he must be honest and honest, and they valued the meaning of the gift, not the gift itself.

In this regard, Lu Chen naturally had no opinion, but felt that it was a lot easier.

After all, it's tiring to maintain a character and act all day.

This kind of scene that does not help to reach the end of the immortal, but may affect the judgment of the system, can be one less scene.

Wait until he asked the people hired in advance to bring Xiao Yi in, ready to close the door and open the table.

At the corner of the street not far away, a figure slowly walked out that made him quite unexpected-

When the dynasty is a second-grade high-ranking official, Liu Dongyang, who has the name of Cangshi Gong, is still the secretary of the military department.

Liu Dongyang walked over quickly with a gift box in his hand.

Although he was a little surprised, Lu Chen still got up to greet him, but before he could say hello, Liu Dongyang took the initiative to speak, and said with a smile: "At the end of the morning meeting, I heard Qian Shangshu mention Lu Zhishi's housewarming today, and the old man couldn't prepare any good gifts in a hurry. ”

Of course, Lu Chen would not dislike it.

Or maybe he didn't care.

After being skillfully polite, he directly took the gift box in Liu Dongyang's hand, handed it to the family on the side, and then led Liu Dongyang into the door.

As for Liu Dongyang, who disagreed with him not long ago, he made a special trip here to congratulate him on moving to a new house. Lu Chen thought about it for a while, and then figured out what was going on.

Probably this guy is not right about things and not people, and he will not be disgusted with him because of official affairs in the court.

After all, his character is too pleasing to a truly honest and honest minister.

After thinking about this, Lu Chen made up his mind to stay away from this guy in the future.

As the saying goes, after being bitten by a snake for ten years and being afraid of the well rope, after suffering the loss of Fang Ping, the backstabbing guy, he really doesn't have a good impression of these celebrities and virtuous ministers, but it is Qian Yiqian and Zheng Zhong who are the kind of "good teammates" who jump out to dig holes for him at every opportunity, and the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is.

I can't wait to cut off the head of the chicken on the spot and burn the yellow paper.

Since he knew that Liu Dongyang was a person from him, or that Fang Ping, Xiao Yi and others who came to congratulate him today were all with him, Lu Chen didn't bother to say more to them.

Just go through the program.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Fang Ping suddenly glanced at Xiao Yi, obviously they had communicated before they came.

Xiao Yi put down his wine glass, hesitated slightly, and was about to say something.

And yet, at this moment—

"Lu gives things."

But it was Liu Dongyang who suddenly spoke up.

"At the time of the early dynasty today, Suzhou, Huguan and Tongguan, Woye, Wuchuan and other important border defense places simultaneously used thousands of miles to expedite the transmission of a news to the imperial court, which was completely expected in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, do you know what the news is?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel moved.

Suzhou, Woye, Tongguan or something... Isn't that the state and county and the pass bordering the barren state......

Deliver news to the capital at this time......

As soon as he thought of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.

He didn't pretend that he couldn't hear Liu Dongyang's words, but his face sank suddenly, pretending to be about to face some cruel reality, he was extremely shaken, and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"The barren state has changed. What?"

"Hmm."

Liu Dongyang nodded without hesitation, and then continued: "According to urgent reports from all over the country, three days ago, the Demon Queen, Jiang Chengyun and Gu Simiao, respectively, spread the Quartet with the respect of the Empress Dowager of Great Xia, the prince of the first emperor and the general of the Zhuguo, and then sent troops to the east and south in the name of [Qingjun Side, Plastic Qiankun], and ten of the twenty-four guards of the Cangling Army totaled 300,000 soldiers and horses to attack Suzhou, Tongguan and other places respectively. ”

After a pause, his face gradually became solemn.

"These rebels have been fighting with foreign races all the year round, and they have beaten Rouran and other tribes so that they can't raise their heads, and they are extremely fierce, fortunately, Your Majesty has mobilized 100,000 Cangming troops in advance to strengthen the defense of the passes, prefectures and counties bordering the barren state, and even His Royal Highness the Holy King himself has personally gone out and rushed back and forth to various battlefields, which has stabilized the situation, otherwise once the rebels break through the passes everywhere, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately clenched his fists.

The status quo is very favorable to him.

As long as Gu Simiao clearly supports Empress Dowager Zhao, this war is basically inevitable.

After all, the contradiction between the empress and the demon queen is impossible to reconcile, either you die or I die, no matter whether he stands up to protect the Gu family or not, it will never have any impact on Great Xia, and what should happen will still happen.

And not only did he not interfere with the empress sending heavy troops to guard the key points everywhere, but instead suggested that the empress strengthen the defense of various places, move the people to safe places, and avoid the losses caused by the war that is likely to come as much as possible.

What can be done has been done, and the conditions for the demons that are unfavorable to becoming immortals have basically been uprooted by him one by one.

Then, as long as he can stand on the ground and soar, he can do whatever he wants, and it is easy to make things develop in the direction he envisioned.

You can even get whatever you want.

Now for the empress, the biggest threat is undoubtedly the Empress Dowager Zhao, who has a bottomless background, and most of the unstable factors in Great Xia are concentrated on this woman who has controlled the empire for six years.

As long as the Queen Mother's line is completely destroyed, and at the same time, the imperial court will take back the countless wealth that was swept away by her, which is almost equal to the fortune of the country.

With massive wealth, the incomparably powerful force of the Holy Realm, and the orthodox inheritance of the edicts of the first emperor, the rule of the empress on the surface was completely stable.

Such a perfect situation is simply ridiculous.

No matter how you think about it, this is a situation where the flying dragon rides the face!

At this time, Xiao Yi suddenly spoke, took over the conversation and said: "And according to the content of the emergency reports from various places, the Cangling army moves quickly, and the siege of the city is extremely brave, and it is not merciless in the face of the comrades who used to fight side by side to resist the enemy in the past, and all kinds of means are used, intending to annihilate all the local garrisons as quickly as possible." ”

While saying this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The female sword fairy who acted chivalrous and righteous and did not ask for anything in return has now become a traitor who disregards the common people for her own selfish desires......

The human heart really can't stand the test......

Fang Ping also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at Lu Chen, his eyes revealing an indescribable heaviness.

"Now, it is completely certain that Gu Simiao has betrayed the imperial court."

In other words, Lu Chen's previous judgment in the imperial court was wrong.

"Really..."

Lu Chen seemed to have been hit hard, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

In the voice, there is obvious suppressed emotion.

"She... Has it really changed......"

Compared with his own future, he seemed to care more about whether Bai Yueguang in his mind had really fallen.

Seeing this, several people looked clear at the same time.

Lu Chen is almost famous for being righteous and unsparing, otherwise he would not have stood up to support the empress, to protect Xia Yan, and to stand up and suggest that the empress reduce the emperor's use, which is called a head iron.

Therefore, Lu Chen's reaction was completely unexpected by everyone.
