Seeing that the opponent turned against him, Situ Yutang smiled slightly. His beautiful and flawless face exuded an alluring charm, which made Wu Feng, who was observing the opponent from the side, feel his heart beat wildly.
Pursing her cherry red lips, Situ Yutang put down the tea cup in his hand and said casually: "Then who is the Military and Political Envoy of the Northwest and the Governor of Northern Luzon? It doesn't seem to be me. This decision should be yours. Make your own decision, can the opinions and pressure of outsiders change your decision? It seems that my fiancé is not such a person? "
Faced with the opponent's hidden counterattack, Wu Feng also sighed secretly. No matter how you say it, the girl in front of you can be regarded as a peerless beauty with beautiful appearance and wisdom. It is a pity that she was born in the Situ family. As a member of the royal family, perhaps the royal interests This must be what this girl values most, a complicated look flashed in Wu Feng's eyes.
"Well, it seems that you really understand your future husband, Yutang. It's true that no one can change the decision I made, but when it comes to the interests of the northwest, this is also an issue that I, Li Wufeng, must pay attention to. Once the situation in the Jieluoke war worsens, , or even completely fell, do you think it will not endanger the security of the northwest? The Kaman people are so ambitious, will the northwest be their next target? Wei Yu melancholy, it is also necessary to do some precautionary work. "No. Feng answered the other party slowly.
"I don't know much about military affairs, but I know that the royal family of Jerok has good people's sentiments in Jerok. Even if the Kamans occupy Jerok, they may not be able to stabilize their rule without a period of time to digest it. , at this time, they should not be able to spare much energy to expand outward, and it is already very rare to be able to control the situation in Jierok. You must know that the Jierok royal family has ruled Jierok for hundreds of years." Situ Yutang His tone was calm, but his words raised objections to Wu Feng's plan, "Right now, the Taiping Cult is a stubborn gang that is deceiving stupid people everywhere. Their power is growing at an alarming rate. If Wu Feng has the energy, why don't you find a way to curb it? What about the development momentum of these guys who cannot atone for their sins by dying a hundred times?"
Here we are, finally here. This is probably the main reason why my fiancée has been knocking on the door to see me these days, right? Wu Feng looked calm, but secretly sneered in his heart. He thought she had changed her gender. It turned out that after going around and around, she came back to how to safeguard the interests of the empire. To put it bluntly, he wanted his army to attack the Taiping Army and reduce the empire's losses. It's just pressure.
"Yutang, what you said is a bit abrupt. To curb the development of the Taiping Rebellion? How should I curb it? Should I send troops to the east? Or should I wipe out the Taiping cult forces in the northwest? If it was the latter, I would have already implemented it. , As for the former, I sent troops to assist Mr. Mi Fengmi to defend Lulong Mansion, but it seems that I was not well received by the important ministers in the court? Some ministers even said that I was overstepping my authority again, hehe. I will touch it at this time. You idiot, aren't you just looking for trouble?" Wu Feng looked filled with indignation.
"Oh? But I heard that the criticism from the ministers of the DPRK and China is not directed at the Northwest Army's defense of Lulong, right? It should be directed at your sudden attack to capture Partridge Pass, right?" Situ Yutang's expression was also unpredictable. indefinite.
"Huh, what's the difference? The Taiping rebels have occupied Longdong Mansion, and the fall of Partridge Pass is imminent. If we hadn't made a prompt decision, wouldn't Partridge Pass have also fallen into the hands of the Taiping rebels?" Wu Feng was shocked. I didn't expect this girl to distinguish these two things so clearly, and the information was so accurate. It seems that the surveillance work on her needs to be strengthened.
"I'm afraid it's different. Lulong is in a dangerous situation, helpless on all sides, facing a great threat from the rebel army. Moreover, the local government and garrison have asked for help from the northwest. It is understandable for you to send troops. Partridge Pass is a military fortress of the empire. When Longdong fell, It has been a long time, but the northwest has not sent a single soldier to assist in defense. It was not until the rebel army approached and the imperial garrison was defeated that they took advantage of the situation. There is an essential difference between the two." Situ Yutang's logic was clear and concise. For a moment, Wu Feng was so speechless that he had nothing to say.
"Haha, this is all in the past. Anyway, if I take the liberty to send troops to other parts of the empire now, I'm worried that His Majesty the Emperor will have opinions about me." In desperation, Wu Feng had no choice but to laugh to cover up the embarrassment.
"Do you still care about my father's opinions and feelings?" Situ Yutang glanced sideways at Wu Feng, who had a serious look on his face, but did not say more, but changed the topic, "Think about it for yourself. At present, The empire is facing such great difficulties. As long as you sincerely contribute to solving the empire's problems, I think it is not invisible to my father and the ministers in the court, but if you have other ideas in your mind, that is another matter."
"Hey, Yutang, I'm afraid what you said is a bit exaggerated. We are still an unmarried couple after all. No matter what you think of this marriage, at least I already have this relationship with the Situ family. I will definitely take care of the empire's affairs. Try your best to support, but you also know that the power in the northwest is limited now, and the surrounding environment is harsh and foreign enemies are everywhere. You dare not act rashly. The slightest carelessness will bring disaster to the northwest and northern Luzon, so you have to act cautiously. ." Wu Feng was not angry at the other party's harsh words, but just explained lightly. He knew that no matter how he explained, he always had to take real actions to win the other party's recognition, but this seemed to be a little too difficult.
"Proceed with caution? How do you plan to deal with the Jerok problem? Now the beautiful and generous Princess Anne is sitting in your house waiting for you. Isn't she here to ask for help?" He coldly glanced at the calm man on the other side. Wu Feng, Situ Yutang felt an unknown fire in his heart. He was energetic and powerful in response to the situation in Jieluoke, but he pushed back and forth on the empire's demands and was perfunctory. Could this be his future husband-in-law
"Well, this, everything must be considered in the long term. The situation in the northwest is not completely stable at the moment, and it is also greatly affected by the Taiping cult. We must first ensure that the situation in the northwest is absolutely stable before we can talk about anything else. It is too early to talk about these at this time. Morning." Wu Feng slyly pushed the topic away, avoiding the question of whether he would be involved in the Jerok battle.
An inexplicable sadness welled up in my heart. The face of the man in front of me seemed to be far away and now close. It was hard to see clearly for a while. What kind of heart was hidden under the handsome and sincere face
Seeing the melancholy and sad look in the other person's eyes, Wu Feng felt guilty in his heart. Isn't it a bit too much to treat the girl in front of him who is far away from his parents but still burdened with a huge burden? Could it be that he was really just for the so-called interests of the Northwest, regardless of the feelings of everyone else? Is it necessary to do this to be worthy of a truly so-called superior person who rules over a place? He was also confused for a while.
The room suddenly fell into silence. For a moment, both of them were affected by the sudden surge of sentimental emotions, and they were relatively speechless. After a long time, Wu Feng broke the silence: "Yutang, tell me the truth. What is in your mind at this time?" Do you think your own future husband is such an extremely selfish hypocrite who only cares about his own interests?"
"If you have a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of other people's opinions? I'm afraid you should know what you have done and what you think deep inside, right?" Situ Yutang tried his best to stabilize his emotions and spoke in a deep tone. Answer the other person: "How do you view your own behavior?"
"How do I see myself?" Wu Feng took a breath and nodded slightly, "Yes, how do I see myself? I think that everything I do is for the people of all walks of life in my territory. All actions are based on the interests of the people in my territory who trust me and rely on me. I think I should have a clear conscience at this point." Wu Feng replied leisurely, looking at the window looking a little wistful.
"But you are a military envoy appointed by the empire and a vassal of the empire. You are first of all a minister of the empire, and only then can you talk about anything else! Can you ignore the interests of the empire just for the sake of what you call the interests of the people in the territory, and even do it for the people of the territory? harming the interests of the empire? Don't forget, you were appointed by the empire's central government, and your territory is only a part of the empire. The empire has given you such high trust and treatment. Are your actions worthy of everything the empire has given you?" Situ? Yutang's tone also became a little angry. It turned out that this guy actually valued the interests of his territory above all else. He was probably the only one who dared to make such treacherous thoughts so frank and public.
"Hoho, yes, I am a minister of the empire. I admit that His Majesty the Emperor is not unkind to me, but I think that everything I have done should live up to His Majesty the Emperor's expectations of me. But it seems that all this happened when I served as the northwest military and political officer. There seems to have been a change since the position of Jiedushi. I have no way of knowing the reason for this. However, I still want to thank His Majesty the Emperor and all my colleagues in the court for their concern for me. Other colleagues are working hard to share His Majesty's worries. At that time, I was able to recuperate in the imperial capital for more than half a year, allowing my tired body and mind to rest, Yutang, don’t you think so?” Wufeng’s tone also became softer and harder, full of sarcasm.
The other party's insinuating words left Situ Yutang speechless for a moment, because what the other party said was indeed true, although many court ministers, including his father, were worried that his fiancé's power would expand too fast and the empire would be difficult to control. , and adopted the method of conferring a title of duke on him to stay in the imperial capital to recuperate, but this kind of disguised house arrest and depriving him of the control of the territory could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. At that time, the other party was ordered by the central government of the empire to go to Beijing to report on his duties. , and there is no sign or evidence that the other party has any disloyal intentions. Just based on some unfounded suspicions and worries, the then-popular imperial hero was thrown into the cold palace. This cannot but be difficult for the other party to accept. These complaints are also Unavoidable.
Now, due to the tense situation in the northwest, she has to let the tiger return to the mountain, and she has become a chess piece placed next to the tiger through marriage, but how much role her chess piece can play, even she herself has no idea. There is no confidence in my heart.
