Situ Yutang looked at the man in front of her in confusion, who seemed to be intoxicated with some kind of confused emotion. Even she herself felt affected by his emotions and became a little sentimental. The survival of the empire, the rise and fall of the family, all at this moment Life seems so far away, what is the purpose of life, this question seems so simple and childish, but if you think about it carefully, no one can see through it, no matter the saints, sages or great villains, no matter the overlords and heroes or the common people, it seems that there are This problem can be boiled down to one point, that is, the pursuit of a better life. Material life may be more important to ordinary people, and those who claim to be extraordinary are naturally pursuing spiritual life and sex. Do you have a grand plan in your heart, or do you persevere for your unchanging and persistent beliefs? It seems that everything has become ethereal at this moment.
"Wufeng, sometimes people may not understand the desires deep in their hearts, but they can definitely understand that they want to see a certain situation happen or appear. Perhaps for the realization of this situation or phenomenon, it is his life Pursue, right? Deep down in your heart, you hope to see another change in the world around you. This is probably your pursuit of life." Situ Yutang no longer had much thought to think about the gains and losses of the empire. At this time, she It's more like an instructive sister teaching a lost little brother.
After being stunned for a moment, Wu Feng fell into a longer period of contemplation. To develop in the direction he most hoped for in order to survive in the world? So what is the result that you most hope for and are satisfied with? Destroy the rebellion, repel foreign aggression, and become a hero of the empire? Unify the empire, eliminate internal and external troubles, and become a new empire builder? Or as a pioneer in opening up territory for the empire, will his name be written into future history forever? Or develop the economy, educate the people, let the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment, and become a lord praised by thousands of people
After hitting his head, Wu Feng was at a loss for a while. Are these goals too far away? For him, whether he can achieve these goals is just a fictional fantasy. He needs to think more now. How to better survive in this complex and dangerous environment and make life better for yourself and your relatives, friends and comrades who are attached to you, maybe this is what you need to consider now.
Seeing the confused expression on the face of the man in front of me gradually disappear, replaced by the usual calmness and depth, those eyes that can discern everything slowly withdrew their gaze from the distant sky. Everything on this land is their own. Now that you are in control, where should your next step be
Glancing at the man sleeping peacefully next to him, Situ Yutang, who was dressed in thin clothes, looked uneasily at the oil lamp in the middle of the tent. This was the second time the two of them slept together in the same bed, but he seemed very tired. , after taking a walk in a circle, accompanied by Cui Wenxiu, he met six cavalry commanders from the Mote Self-Defense Army. After that, his mood became a little depressed, and he went into the tent and lay down early. There was only one liter in the tent. Although the bed used by nomadic people on the grassland was very spacious, it took Situ Yutang a long time before he made up his mind to sleep next to him.
It was very quiet in the big tent. Occasionally, the footsteps of the guards outside the tent could be heard in the distance. He seemed to have fallen asleep quickly. The face that was usually unpredictable became so peaceful and simple at this time. This was his husband, that Sometimes I feel that he is ambitious, bold, cruel, cunning and insidious? He quietly raised his head, next to this face that was suddenly far and near in his memory, what was this person thinking deep in his heart? What will he dream about in his dream? For a moment, two faces with different expressions flickered in and out under the dim light, and infinite reveries lingered in Situ Yutang's mind.
Just like this, I don't know how much time passed, and a faint muttering came quietly from outside the tent.
"My lord is a little tired today and is not in a good mood. Why don't you wait until your lord wakes up and takes a shower tomorrow morning to inform him?"
"I'm afraid this is not good. Your Excellency is very concerned about the situation on the Eastern Front. He has long said that the situation from the east must be reported to him immediately."
"My lord is staying with Her Royal Highness Princess He tonight. I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good idea to disturb your lord at this time, right?" The tone of his words was also a little hesitant. After all, the boss always paid great attention to the military information coming from afar and rarely reported it until the night, even though it was for inspection outside. , but the requirements are also very strict.
"I'm afraid not. Your Excellency has been out for three or four days. Your Excellency needs to hear reports on the situation on the Eastern Front every three days. Although it's a bit late, I don't think you will blame me."
Hearing the distant argument outside the tent, Situ Yutang quietly put on his clothes and stood up. He glanced at the sleeping person next to him. Situ Yutang hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the tent and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, Your Highness, I'm disturbing your rest. There is an urgent battle report from the front line that needs to be reported to Mr. Li immediately." The person who came to report was probably from the Military Intelligence Bureau, which is a recently established intelligence department dedicated to the military. Situ Yutang has heard about the activities of this department. They are her husband's absolute confidants. It is difficult for any other northwest military and government officials to directly command this department. Their leader is directly ordered by Li Wufeng.
"Oh, is it urgent? Then I'll wake him up." Situ Yutang is very sensitive. She knows that her identity is now in a position that is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. Of course, all this is brought about by her identity as a royal princess. , is also closely related to Li Wufeng's stance towards the empire.
"Well, it's all down to you, Your Highness, Princess." The person who came to report was also very obedient.
When Situ Yutang woke up Wu Feng from his sleep, Wu Feng was sleeping soundly. It had been a long time since he had such a sweet sleep. The conversation with Situ Yutang yesterday afternoon seemed to make him feel depressed. His long-awaited emotions were properly vented, which made him feel much more relaxed. The other party's seemingly vague words suddenly opened up his depressed mood, and all the irritated and depressed people were relieved. His mood was immediately discharged through his mouth, so he felt fully relaxed and had such a good sleep.
Looking at Wu Feng who was reading the letter carefully under the lamp, Situ Yutang always had an indescribable feeling in her heart. As far as she knew, her husband had a special intelligence secretary who was responsible for handling daily intelligence affairs, and that woman was also Being from a martial arts background, he was able to gain his absolute trust. What else could it mean besides the ambiguous relationship between the two? Situ Yutang didn't care about this. For a man with Xiang Wufeng's status, no one would care about him, not to mention one, ten or eight, and he couldn't shake his position. But what greatly stimulated Situ Yutang was that, In such an important link as intelligence affairs, as a princess betrothed by the empire, she was unable to get involved, but a woman from a lower-class background had the upper hand. How could she not be annoyed by this
After reading the information, Wu Feng handed the letter to Situ Yutang, who had been sitting silently, "Look, your eldest brother finally started to show his strength. It took only two days to drive the Taiping Army out of Cangzhou. Now the entire Yanyun County has returned to the hands of the empire, and His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order to commend the First Legion for its great achievements."
Seeing that the other party handed over the information so generously, Situ Yutang was not polite. To be honest, staying in the northwest, the Taiping Army cut off all roads from the imperial capital to the northwest. She had not had normal contact with the imperial capital for a long time. And all intelligence sources seemed to be cut off. She seemed to have become a redundant person in the northwest. If she wanted to obtain information, she could only analyze and judge the situation of the empire from the news published in the northwest's private newspapers.
Conquering Cangzhou is certainly a good thing, but another piece of intelligence news also shocked Situ Yutang. The Lin family's army increased its troops in Lujiang in a large scale, and they continued to clash with the Lang family's army in the Hanzhong Basin. The Lin family even Two divisions have been re-deployed from Sanjiang and entered Lujiang. Looking at the postures of both sides, they must collide here for the control of Hanzhong Mansion.
"How long have you been a group of guys who don't know how to advance or retreat? They are still fighting for Hanzhong. How great would it be if they had the energy to work together to deal with the Kaman people or the Taiping Cult?" Thinking bitterly, Situ Yutang's eyes also changed. many.
"Yutang, His Highness has captured Cangzhou, and it seems that Qinghe Mansion is about to be restored. I think it's time to revive the Empire. His Highness is also launching a large-scale attack on the Five Lakes. It is estimated that the Machi Khan and the Taiping Sect will be expelled. The Five Lakes will also be a matter of time. I am thinking that since Tianshui Mansion belongs to Heshuo, it also belongs to the territory of His Highness the Third Highness. If the conditions are right, I think it is more appropriate to hand it over to His Highness the Third Highness or the Grand Highness to take over, so as not to interfere with the central government. Some people always think that I, Li, have ulterior motives and bad intentions. What do you think?" Wu Feng seemed to understand a lot and generously put forward his own ideas, "In addition, if the time comes, I also want to gradually expand Beiyuan, Longdong and Xikang. Leave it to your highnesses."
Faced with the sudden change in the opponent's position, Situ Yutang was a little hard to understand for a while. He had always regarded the territory as his life, and it was even more difficult for him to withdraw from the land. Could it be that after one night, his thoughts really Sudden change
Staring deeply at the other person, Situ Yutang tried to find clues on the other person's face, but seeing that Wu Feng's expression was calm and could not see anything unusual, she thought carefully and carefully before she replied cautiously: "If you really have this intention , Of course it is a good thing, but military affairs are changing rapidly. The situation in the Central Plains may not be as optimistic as it seems. Whether it is Tianshui or the other three prefectures, from my perspective, there is no need to be busy handing over to the empire at the moment. As you said, If you hand it over to the empire, it may be difficult to hold it now. If it is lost, it will not be beautiful. As long as you have this intention, it will be enough."
