Someone outside wanted to see her. When Hua Zhi heard Jia Yang's voice, she knew what it was about and stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk."
"No need to avoid it, just listen to it."
Hua Zhi herself didn't know when she started to be rude to Yan Xi, but after hearing what was said, she sat down again with an open mind, as if she was listening attentively.
Gu Yanxi smiled and said, "Come in."
Not only Jia Yang came in, but also another short man with an ordinary appearance. He was Xue Liang, the head of the Fourth Department who was responsible for gathering information.
"explain."
"Yes." Xue Liang bowed and said, "When I approached the eldest prince, I got in touch with Jia Yang. He found out some things. Jia Yang, you tell me."
"Yes, the eldest prince now only has a eunuch who was exiled with him, so I followed him closely. I didn't find any problems at first. The eldest prince works from sunrise to sunset and smiles at everyone. Many people have changed their views of him in these days, but this is the biggest problem."
Jia Yang paused and continued, "He is the eldest prince who dared to present the emperor with a deadly elixir. He has a violent temper and treats many people's lives as worthless. It is normal for such a person to behave in any way after being exiled, except that his current behavior is the most abnormal. He overacted, as if he was trying to show it to someone. I was suspicious, so I followed him for twelve hours, and I actually discovered something."
Gu Yanxi and Hua Zhi looked at each other and both became worried.
"That eunuch is a woman." Jia Yang continued, "At first, I thought she was brought by the eldest prince to do it... But I found out that they were not in that relationship. The eldest prince was very obedient in front of that woman. This is all I have found out for now."
Xue Liang took over the conversation and said, "After learning about this from Jia Yang, I boldly searched the eldest prince's residence, but I couldn't find anything that could prove the woman's identity. She was very honest, and there was nothing wrong with her words and deeds. There was only one thing, she wore coarse cloth clothes on the outside, but the finest silk clothes inside. All the underwear and bellybands in her closet were silk clothes. And I found two boxes of tea bricks in the eldest prince's residence."
"Silk clothes and tea bricks." Gu Yanxi sneered, "These two things are not rare in the Central Plains, but both the grassland tribes outside the Great Wall and the Chaoli tribe love them very much. Follow closely and don't alert the enemy. I want to see who these evil spirits are!"
"yes."
"After so many years of royal education, he now needs a foreigner to tell him what to do. This is a huge joke. Summon the Seven Constellations to search Yinshan Pass again for me and find the Chaoli people hiding there!"
"Yes." Jia Yang and Xue Liang stepped back together.
Hua Zhi understood his anger at his lack of fighting spirit, and refilled his cup of tea, saying, "You don't need to be too impatient. Even if the Chaoli tribe really took two generations to do this, I still think there won't be too many nails embedded in the Daqing Dynasty. First, the lack of offspring is their fatal weakness. Second, not everyone is suitable. If someone is born looking more like a Chaoli tribe member, he or she cannot be used. Even if the chance is 50%, we have to choose from that half. Judging from the people we have captured now, both Yuan Shifang and Tong Yi are very smart. If everyone is so outstanding, the Chaoli tribe won't have to resort to these tricks, and they won't necessarily lose if they just start a war."
Gu Yanxi held her hand and kissed her with restraint, "Your analysis makes sense."
Hua Zhi just pretended not to notice that he had crossed the line. "If the Daqing Dynasty had a stricter control over the local areas, and the local areas had a stricter control over the population, things would not have come to this."
Even if we don't have the high technology of later generations that allows one to travel the world with just an ID card, as long as we pay more attention to women and record their disappearances, when this happens in many places, the people above us will find out something is wrong. Not to mention being able to rescue the people, at least the Chaoli tribe won't dare to be so blatant. After so many years, I'm afraid they won't be able to find out how many women they have abducted.
In the countryside, if a woman goes missing, she is gone. A few people will report it to the government office, and the family does not want to lose face.
"Azhi, it's a pity that you are a girl."
"Even if I were a man, I would not enter the government. I don't want to. The family rules are there and I don't have the qualifications." She was too complicated and selfish, and was far from the pure scholar that Hua Jingyan wanted. Besides, "If I were really a man, I would be exiled with him, and there would be no place for you and me."
Gu Yanxi came closer, "What's your business with me?"
Hua Zhi blinked, "It's about doing business."
"Is business the only thing between us?" Gu Yanxi moved closer.
"What else?"
Gu Yanxi grabbed her hand and kissed her, "This matter."
"Oh?!" Hua Zhi raised her hand and kissed the back of his hand without changing her expression, "So this is what you are talking about."
Gu Yanxi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, his Azhi!
Shaoyao held Zeng Han and sat on the steps of the corridor, leaning against the pillars, looking up at the starry sky. She listened to the laughter inside and laughed along. She could hardly remember what Brother Yan was like in the past, but she remembered clearly that this kind of laughter only came after she met Huahua.
Tomorrow will be a nice day.
Gu Yanxi settled down in the Hua family. The younger generation squeezed together and made room for him.
Not wanting to arouse suspicion from those around him, he seldom went out during the day. He stayed with Ah Zhi all day, reading books and chatting together. Today, the two even played two games against each other.
The terrain for this game was made by Hua Zhi according to the map. Because it was a known terrain, both the Hua family and Wu Yong looked at it very carefully.
In the first game, Hua Zhishou used many tactics, even a tactic that had never been used in Mr. Siqing's book. But she still lost after holding on for an hour.
In the second round, Hua Zhi attacked. Compared with Gu Yanxi's steady and step-by-step pressure, she took risky moves to the extreme and sent out surprise troops repeatedly. However, it was not until they reached the top of the hill that everyone realized that the so-called surprise troops were fake, and it was the main general who really put up a strong resistance. In the end, she won a miserable victory.
Gu Yanxi strongly disapproved, "Azhi, you are taking risks."
"Only in this way can I have a hope of winning." Hua Zhi wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her injury had not healed yet, and she was a little exhausted from all this.
"You may not always win when you risk your life, so be careful."
"If I don't risk my life, I've already lost." Hua Zhi smiled with her big white teeth. It can be seen that she was in a good mood after winning against Yan Xi. "Don't worry, I don't need to go to the battlefield. This tactic can only be used when deducing on this sand table. It's not my turn to lead the troops in reality."
Gu Yanxi wanted to say something, but in the end, he had to swallow it. This kind of sand table simulation is the most difficult to reflect a person's character. Ah Zhi likes to use surprise attacks, but she always trusts herself the most. He should work hard to hone her skills. With more capital, if she really encounters something, she will have a greater chance of winning by risking her life.
PS: I'm laying the groundwork again... I shamelessly did a live broadcast. Thank you all for your support, thank you to the girls who came, and thank you to the girls who left book reviews but were swallowed. There were few book reviews these two days. At first I thought I was disliked, but I saw Xinyan's message and realized that I was swallowed. Send a razor blade to the technical guy! Well, I also want to thank the girls for their tolerance these days. There will be three updates tomorrow. In addition, Kongkong really has a big face, but he only weighs 96 pounds!
