Seeing that her brothers were still not convinced, Situ Yushuang shook her head helplessly. She also knew that in order to impress her brothers at this time, only strength, and only people with strength, would arouse their attention. Pay attention, talents will help their so-called imperial hegemony in the future, they don't care about anything else, this is the true portrayal of being a royal person.
"Thirteenth sister, I heard that Li Wufeng has a romantic nature and is quite popular with women, but he is not married yet. I wonder if you have met him?" Situ Lang changed the subject when he saw that his sister had not spoken.
"No, this guy was just an insignificant captain in the city guard. Later, he only returned to the imperial capital once after establishing a foothold in the northwest. I haven't met him yet." Situ Yushuang shook his head and answered, raising his head. Lai Lai took a look at Situ Lang and wondered what his brother had planned.
"To be honest, this guy is really capable. He was able to climb to this position in just a few years. Although there are various factors such as opportunities and coincidences, if he doesn't have a chance, he will fall down even if he sits on it. And this kid But he is rising steadily, and even his father appreciates him. I don't know how he will do in Luzon this time. If he falls into a somersault, even his father will have difficulty protecting him, but if he can get a piece of land, I'm afraid even Everyone's slander and opposition can't offset my father's good mood to expand the territory. When the time comes, I'm afraid this guy will ask for the stars in the sky, and my father may agree without thinking." Situ Lang's scheming is actually no less than Several of his brothers, especially his keen predictions, are in the same vein as Situ Yushuang. After all, they were born from the same mother.
Situ Yushuang snorted lightly and said nothing.
"By the way, Thirteenth Sister, I also heard that he has a close relationship with Angel of the Huey family. Maybe this kid has fallen under Angel's skirt. How come you haven't seen him?" Situ Lang knew that his sister had a close relationship with Angel. Angel has a good relationship.
"I've heard about this too, but I haven't asked Angel in person. Why, do you regret not pursuing her now?" Angel asked with a smile.
"Haha, Thirteenth Sister, it's not like you don't know your Ninth Brother's temperament. I'm not very interested in these aristocratic ladies. Not only do they show off their arrogance, but they also show off their tempers at every turn. You can't find beautiful women anywhere, slave. There are whatever you want in the market or Liujin Street. As long as you can afford it, you can choose from thousands of options. Even ordinary people, as long as your Ninth Brother nods, I'm afraid there will be a long queue outside the house. " Situ Lang always paid attention to women and was not very interested in the ladies of noble families. Several princes and ministers proposed marriage to him, but he refused them all.
"Sister, you are not too young. Why, do you have someone you like? If so, Ninth Brother will come to enlighten him and ask him to come to your door to propose marriage as soon as possible. However, I think it is difficult for the entire empire to find someone who is worthy of his marriage. A handsome young man who is worthy of you, sister. Alas, in the past two years, it has been difficult to meet anyone you like, let alone someone who is worthy of you." Situ Lang also felt deeply. The entire empire There are not too many children of princes and ministers in the court, but they are all dandy children, who are either intoxicated in sensuality or only talk about the world in a rhetorical manner. There are really few characters to be found.
Situ Yushuang's face turned cold, "Brother Ninth, you should just worry about your own affairs. You don't need to worry about my affairs!" After saying that, he stood up and left.
"Don't be busy. Brother Ninth is also doing this for your own good. I heard that Viscount Lanxi, the eldest son of Duke Lanmeng, Grand Duke Jeroke's minister of affairs, is a person and he is also very infatuated with you. You never seem to show any pretense towards him. Like, why don't you look down on her?" Situ Lang asked Situ Yushuang with concern, while he was also making up his mind.
"Brother Ninth, don't mind my affairs. Even my father has never asked about my affairs. Why do you worry about it all day?" A blush flashed on Situ Yushuang's cheeks, "That Lan Xi only knows how to recite poems and paint all day long. Even if you don’t have the power to tie a chicken, can you still be considered a character?”
"What about General Pippin, the second son of Duke Pique, the deputy minister of military affairs in the DPRK? He has admired you for a long time, and he is rare to be loyal and carefree. Now he serves as deputy commander of the fourth division of the second army. Division commander, your future is bright and pretty good." Situ Lang was not discouraged and continued to recommend.
"Pippin? Loyal and honest? He is almost rude and stupid. He only knows how to wield swords and sticks. He has a hateful face. I will fall in love with him? It will not be his turn in the next life." Situ Yushuang had a look of contempt on his face.
"What about Qin Tiecheng of the Qin family? He comes from a famous family, and now he is very likely to inherit the hereditary title of the Qin family. He is also good at business. I heard that he has done business with the Japanese in the East. It is not easy. He is both literary and martial arts. It's quite good. He also won fifth place in the Imperial Capital Poetry Competition last year. It's not like being a direct disciple of the Sunset Sect. He has already mentioned it to me several times. How about it?" Situ Lang kept talking. .
"Qin Tiecheng? He smells like copper, looks like a treacherous businessman, and he claims to be romantic. I feel sick when I see him. If his elder brother Qin Tieliau were to go back twenty years, I would still consider it." Situ Yushuang was even more disdainful. Take a look.
"Sister, I am convinced by you. Those who are not good at literature are not good at martial arts. Those who are good at literature and martial arts are still not good. The few things I said are not as bad as what you said. You have reduced them to nothing. It’s worth it, it seems that our empire has really found out what you like.” Situ Lang smiled and shook his head helplessly.
"That's why you've been bothered." Situ Yushuang also smiled, straightened her clothes, and prepared to leave.
"By the way, in terms of conditions, there is actually a person who completely meets your requirements in all aspects, and he will definitely suit your liking." Situ Lang finally threw out the bait he carefully planned.
"Who?" Situ Yushuang, who was about to leave, asked casually.
"Li Wufeng!"
"Him?!" Situ Yushuang couldn't help but be startled.
"Yes, Li Wufeng is young. He is already one of the three major military governors of the empire. He has also been granted the title of Marquis of Baisheng by his father. He is also from a noble family. Now he has become an unshakable idol in the hearts of boys and girls in the empire. He can Wen Shanwu has outstanding achievements, isn't he your best match?!" Situ Lang said hopefully.
"Humph, would I like him? He is ambitious, arrogant, and a snob. He is not worth mentioning at all!" Situ Yushuang had a look of autumn frost on his face. After a brief pause, he walked out without knowing what he was thinking in his heart. .
Situ Lang was greatly disappointed. He didn't expect that his sister would have such a bad impression of this person, but he was not discouraged. "You haven't seen it yet, how can you make a conclusion? My father has called him back to the imperial capital to report on his duties. , I think you will have many opportunities to meet, maybe you are destined." A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Situ Lang's mouth.
"Juetian, I heard that the boy in the northwest of Tanghe is very arrogant these days." Lying on his back on a loose easy chair, the graceful middle-aged man casually wiped his face with the towel that the maid offered to him while kneeling, and then put it on his back. He returned to the tray and waved them away.
"Well, I've also noticed it. I didn't expect that this guy would dare to send troops to Luzon to get a share of the pie. It's really unexpected." Lei Juetian, the minister of state of the Macchi Khanate who looked cautious, also frowned.
"Didn't you say that he and the surrounding Luobei and Western Region people were very unhappy? Why did he dare to send troops south?" The middle-aged man was naturally Bixili, the great Khan of the Macchi Khanate.
"Our intelligence is still not accurate and fast enough. This guy Li Wufeng actually sacrificed the interests of the Western Regions countries to please the Luobi people. By the way, the Luobi people also restrained the Western Regions countries. He took the opportunity to free up his hands to send troops to Luzon, killing two birds with one stone. The future generations are terrible." Lei Juetian was quite touched, and at the same time he also felt the pressure.
"Our intelligence network there needs to be strengthened. It seems that you are right. This guy will become a stumbling block for us sooner or later. We have to take precautions and make some necessary preparations first. Once the time is right, we have to take action." Bi Xili also said Sensing the danger of Li Wufeng, a gloomy chill appeared on his face.
"There is no need to worry too much about the Great Khan. At least for now, he has no direct conflict of interest with us. Maybe at some point we will have the same interests for a common goal." Although Lei Juetian was also a little worried, he knew that After all, it is a matter for the future, and the first priority now is not to consider Li Wufeng.
"You mean he will also set his sights on the Tanghe Empire?" Bixili understood immediately, with a look of interest in his brown eyes.
"This is not surprising. Which one of the Sanjiang Lin family and the Tiannanlang family is not interested in the Tanghe Empire? As for the surrounding countries, there are many more, including us." Lei Juetian said lightly, without feeling anything wrong at all. , "The strong survive and the weak are eliminated. This is how the world is. What moral principles and axioms are worthless. Power is truth. Although this sentence is not completely correct, it is at least correct in many cases in this era. Li Wufeng is ambitious. , once he has the strength to compete in the Central Plains, what do you think he will think?"
"The declining Tanghe Empire is so tempting. Everyone wants to take a bite. It seems we have to step up our efforts." Bi Xili turned his eyes to the north, with a look of yearning on his face.
"The Great Khan is right, so we must step up our reserve strength. Now the situation in Ankun City and Jemelo area has basically calmed down, and our policy of appeasing the people has also achieved good results. Everything is on the right track step by step. Next The next step is to take action against the Yue Jing people." Lei Juetian's eyes flashed like a leopard.
"Really? Do you think the time is ripe?" Bixili also became excited. The Yuejing Kingdom was already under siege by the Macchi Khanate. It was just a piece of cake to capture it. The reason why he did not take action was mainly because he was worried about the Tanghe people. Reaction.
"It's almost there. We can't wait any longer. The Tanghe people have been paralyzed by our friendly gestures and have no preparations. In addition, we are not attacking their homeland. Even if their central troops want to reinforce, they still have to cross Sanjiang County and Tiannan County cannot respond very quickly. After this year's savings, our various supplies can last for a while, and other aspects are fully prepared." Lei Juetian's serious face showed a confident expression.
"Well, in that case, our army also needs to make adjustments immediately." Bixili nodded without hesitation. In such major matters, he always advocates an immediate decision.
"We can't be too hasty. To prevent the enemy's intelligence department from noticing our intentions, we can do it step by step and covertly. It won't take much time to capture the Yue Jing Kingdom. The main thing is to deal with the possible reaction of the Tanghe people. I think it will take a week. It should be enough." Lei Juetian was still very cautious, "The Great Khan can immediately summon the generals to start deployment."
"Very good, it seems that my dream of traveling to Beijing is finally coming true. As promised, I will invite you all to take a swim in Yihong Lake (Note 1)." Bi Xili was very proud and in a happy mood.
Note 1: Yihong Lake is a beautiful lake in Yuejing City, the capital of Yuejing Kingdom. It is a famous scenic spot. The lakeside area is full of tamarisk and red maple trees. There is a small island in the lake called Nucui Island. In winter Warm in summer and cool in summer, there are several hot springs on it. The entire lake is privately owned by the Yue Jing royal family.
Merry Chrismas!
