Probably because he hasn't slept well these days, there are a few bubbles at the corners of Yinxue's mouth, although this is not a serious matter, but for the girl's family, it is naturally unbearable in her heart.

So Gong Yinxue lowered her head and drank the white fungus lotus seed soup in the bowl very seriously, and every bite seemed to take a breath on the tip of her tongue before swallowing it slowly.

When the bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup was finished, she finally showed a satisfied smile: "You can also try it, the white fungus lotus seed soup that Fluttershy made people cook is just the right amount of sweetness, it can moisten the throat and defeat the fire, and now that the weather is hot, although you don't get on the fire, there is no harm in drinking it." ”

Qin Ke looked at her sincere expression, smiled bitterly and took the clean bowl and soup spoon, while Gong Yinxue was very comfortable helping him take out a bowl from the porcelain jar.

Qin Ke said while drinking: "You are very calm, as if I am not talking about you." ”

Gong Yinxue gave herself a bowl again and drank it slowly, with a smile on her lips: "I know you care about me, I'm very happy." ”

She said she was very happy, really happy, not some polite words.

It should be said that she enjoyed this kind of time sitting with Qin Ke while drinking and talking, which allowed her to temporarily free herself from a lot of heavy things and feel the peace of mind of the years.

Looking at Qin Ke's face, Gong Yinxue's cheeks fluttered crimson silently, she thought about telling Qin Ke that the reason why she couldn't sleep well and got hot was because she was used to Qin Ke's company in the previous days.

But how can she say this kind of thing, a girl's family?

"Actually, I don't think so. Gong Yinxue said: "Big Berken handed over these things to me to do, which is important to me, at least to prove that he believes in my ability, and at the same time believes that I will do these things seriously and responsibly." In that case, what else do I have to complain about?"

"That's right. Qin Ke nodded and said, "But I heard that your third uncle has basically not done anything serious these days, and he just goes out to eat and drink with those people in the family all day long, or gives gifts to this and that, in comparison, it always makes me feel a little unwilling." ”

Gongyi Yinxue took a sip and said with a smile: "My third uncle can't wait to take over the uncle's position, and it's not so surprising to win over those who are helpful to him." ”

"You don't seem to be in a hurry. ”

"It's better to be in a hurry. Gong Yinxue shook her head, as if she had thought of something, and said with a smile: "Actually, I should thank Mr. Gao for his enlightenment, there are some things that I really thought about too simple before...... I thought that if I could let my ancestors take care of one or two, I might be able to compete with the third and fourth uncles head-on. But the old ancestor was only an outsider from beginning to end, so how could he really care about whose hands the power within the public loser fell into? Now that he has left the public loser, this proves this even more. Maybe he is still in Jinzhou, or maybe he has long left, not in the territory of the Mo family, the world is so big, for a talented person like him, there is nowhere to go. The dungeon level also happened to cut off my unrealistic thoughts, lest I have too many illusions. ”

"It's all my ......" Qin Ke lowered his head and said apologetically, "I didn't tell you about going to the underground palace in advance...... When I met my ancestor, I forgot to mention you. ”

Gong Yinxue continued to shake her head and said, "I don't blame you, and you don't have to apologize." I've figured it out, in terms of conspiracy and trickery, I am not as good as the third uncle, even if I plan reluctantly, it is difficult to have any results. Besides, if my father saw me like that, he would probably be very disappointed? My second room has been suppressed over the years, but the property left by my father is enough for me and Yinyu to enjoy a lifetime. ”

"......" Qin Ke looked at the public Yinxue, and didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so he could only bury his head in the lotus seed soup.

"Don't worry. I say that, but that doesn't mean I'm going to lose my sharpness. Gong Yinxue's hand slowly clenched, and her nails sank deep into her palm, "The third uncle has the third uncle's approach, and I also have my plans." Giving gifts and enveloping may be able to make people do things for him, but if he thinks that people's hearts are just so simple, it is a big mistake. Not everyone in the family likes his style. ”

Qin Ke suddenly raised her head, and always felt that her words contained deep meaning: "What do you mean?"

Gong Yinxue laughed meaningfully: "Literally." Although the fourth uncle was imprisoned, it definitely does not mean that the people who once supported him really forgot him like this. Even if they can't support the fourth uncle anymore, if they want to let them take refuge in the third uncle, they can't. But since they chose to stand on the opposite side of the third uncle, they needed a flag. ”

Gong Yinxue closed her eyes and said in a low voice: "I am the flag." ”

"You're the flag?" Qin Ke understood, "So they became your strength?"

Gong Yinxue didn't answer, but just reached out and picked up the porcelain bowl that had been drunk in front of Qin Ke, filled a bowl of lotus seed soup with a spoon again, and handed it to him: "This power...... Enough to change a lot of things. If it's time to tear my face, I'm not necessarily going to lose. ”

"It doesn't really matter who wins or loses. On the recliner, the public loser slowly spoke, "I only know one thing, that is, the public loser must not fight among himself......"

......

The room was filled with a strong smell of incense, and the medicinal tea on the table was also slightly tinged with a bitter orange yellow, Gong Yiren drank some tea, smelled the incense, and suddenly felt that his breathing was smoother, and the boredom in his chest also dissipated a lot.

From this point of view, Dr. Lu's medicine does work, but the word "effective" is definitely not enough.

Gong Yiren knew very well what the analgesic effect of this incense meant, although it could bring him a short period of sobriety and comfort, it could not cure his stubborn disease, on the contrary, it would even accelerate the destruction of his body.

But he needed it.

If he didn't want the rest of his life to be left with pain and struggle, and wanted to do more things for the rest of his life, at this moment he had to rely on this incense and medicinal tea to support his body and keep him sane all the time.

"The Mo family seems to be strong, but in fact, it has long been strong on the outside. Now that the border has reported that the Tang army has invaded again since the summer solstice, I think it should no longer be a test with thunder and rain, this should be a premeditated attack......" Gong Yiren sighed and said: "The fire of the troubled times is ignited again, I'm afraid no one can be spared...... Yinxue, this girl, is pure, but she is carved out of the same mold as her father, strong inside, and will never bend easily, and meet grievances. If that day comes, maybe she'll really die in the net. ”

"But the fish is dead...... It's my loser's fish that dies, and it's my loser's net that breaks, no matter which one it is, it's not a good thing. Gong Yiren said: "I believe in the peace of the family and the harmony of my relatives in my life, but it is really ironic that it has come to such a situation." ”

"You don't have to blame yourself too much, sir. The old butler of the male loser stood respectfully beside the bed, "You have done well enough, but ...... The world is unpredictable. When all this is revealed, Miss Yinxue will surely understand your hard work. ”

"She'll understand......" Gong Yiren slowly closed his eyes.

The comeback of the Tang Army is actually not surprising, or rather, this is almost the consensus in most people's hearts.

Although the general trend of the world has maintained a calm surface over the years, the surging game in the secret has never stopped.

Canghai continued to expand its territory in the north, conquering the major tribes on the steppe, and either exterminating them or taking them under his command...... And Cao Meng has always been a character who does not hesitate to declare his ambition to dominate the world, and with the continuous increase of national strength, it has become inevitable to go south.

Although Cai Yong has been defeated, the anti-Yang Taizhen forces in the DPRK and China are still there, and the de facto ruler of the Tang State also needs a grand foreign war to consolidate his authority.

Compared with that year, the Mo family has been weak and old over the years, with Wang Xuanwei losing in the court battle, this famous general in the world no longer seems to have the power to control the entire territory of the Mo family, which naturally gave the Tang State and Canghai the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Last year's temptation was just to make sure that the general had really lost his position, not a bureau or a small fight in the Mo family's court. ”

The Tang army seems to be getting closer and closer, and these days, the military reports that have been coming constantly are really not optimistic, and it is even difficult for everyone to imagine that a huge Mo family did not immediately respond when the Tang State joined forces to invade the sea.

Those powerful people are still attacking each other in the court of Jicheng, fighting for power and profit, regardless of the lives of the people.

Even the Gong Yi who had just raised his eyebrows was worried, fearing that this huge Jinzhou city would be burned under the great power of the Tang Army.

To tell the truth, he doesn't care much about the people, but if he doesn't have Jinzhou, his life will disappear, and he really can't accept it.

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived in Jinzhou yet?" Gong Cheng frowned and looked at several officials, "Didn't you send 70,000 people to garrison in the south last year in order to resist the Tang army? ”

An official stood up a little embarrassed and said to the public: "We have sent five consecutive letters to urge, but this time the leader is the young general, named Zhao Kuo, not to say that the march should be steady, not to give the Tang army a chance to sneak attack, it should have arrived within ten days, and it was said that it would be delayed for ten days." ”

"This king eight lambs. A slightly chubby official couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and said loudly: "It's not that my family is a family of generals, and I am close to those Confucian factions, so I just relied on recommendation to sit in the position of general." If the general is still here, where will he be so procrastinated? General Wang is like a ghost with his soldiers, rushing like fire, like the last battle of Lizhou, he led 50,000 elites under his command, marched more than 200 miles in three days, and forced to go around to the rear of the Canghai Navy, and caught people off guard, this is a famous general, those people in the court are really blind, and they forced General Wang to be idle at home, but let such a young doll who had never fought a war to lead the troops. Although there is no news from the Canghai Navy so far, Cao Meng's fierce generals are like clouds, and the Confucian general Liu De is said to have contributed a lot to Cao Meng's ability to lay the foundation of today. His two sworn brothers, Guan Changyu and Zhang Yi, are rare fierce generals in the world. There are also Xiahou and Dian Wei, who have been through a hundred battles, alas! I'm afraid that this battle has not yet started, and we have already lost half of our momentum!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Gong Yi waved his hand, in fact, he was also a little messy in his heart, but this kind of thing is not something that can be said to be nonsense, at least it is a private slander, and at worst, it is disrespectful to the court, in case there are hidden eyes and ears of the court here, and the public loser can't eat and walk around.

"Since it is the decision of the imperial court, we just abide by it. We did things on both sides, on the one hand, we sent more people to find out the situation of the Tang army, and on the other hand, we sent another letter to urge, and now our Jinzhou soldiers, plus the army composed of those conscripted refugees, can be regarded as having some self-protection power. It is naturally wishful thinking to go out of the city to fight the Tang army, but if you want to defend the city, you can drag on for many days, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

Having said that, he had never experienced a battle in his life, and he felt a little weak when he thought of the scenes of long spears and arrows raining down on those nights.

There are not many people in Jinzhou who can lead troops, and among the people who can lead soldiers, the fourth prince is counted as one, but the fourth prince has been imprisoned in the house, is it difficult to let him out again?

I have been fighting with him for many years, and finally this time I really won once, and I want him to intercede for this enemy, and I don't want to kill him.

A few people watched the change in the eyes of the public, and thought that he had already thought about it, but they were a lot more relieved.

If he has the foundation to prove that Gong Yiren already has a score in his heart, then the people below them only need to do what they are doing.

Everyone is a Jinzhou person, rooted in Jinzhou, it is impossible to leave the glory and wealth of Jinzhou, and embark on a journey of escape like those displaced people.

If that were the case, they would have become lost dogs.

But at this moment, a servant rushed in from outside the yamen and shouted, "Master!"

Gong Yi turned his head, looked at the servant's panicked appearance, and sighed in his heart: "What are you panicking, the Tang army is calling?"
