Yufu and his party appeared in the Xikun Palace, and immediately many ministers greeted them with compliments.
Kunwu injury has been accustomed to indifference after a great war last year, but this time because of Yu's support in his house, and Kun Junyue was poisoned in bed and couldn't get up, gradually showing signs of regaining favor.
He knew in his heart that it was because Yufu deliberately treated him to get close, and Kundi took advantage of him. In order to repay him for saving Gu Shubai's kindness, Yufu also did his best.
If Chen Jingxing seemed to stand in front of Yufu, she would not only allow her to choose who to talk to, but also block the flatterers who don't know how to measure.
The crown prince of Bei Li, the future empress, can anyone be close to it
Humph, don't even think about it!
Among these ministers, Yufu was the most impressed. He looked stubborn and hesitated after standing in front of her for a while, but he didn't speak when he moved his lips a few times.
Yufu looked at him curiously, he sighed, and finally gave Kun Wu a bad look and left.
Kun Wu's expression on his face was wounded, and the pig was not afraid of boiling water.
"Who is he?"
Yufu turned his head and asked Kun Wu was hurt, Kun Wu said hurt: "I am an official of the East Palace, I am afraid that I want to come to you to solve Kun Junyue's poison, and because of the father's order, I dare not. People in the East Palace think you are. It was for me to poison Kun Junyue. He didn't dare to stare at you, so he had to stare at me."
Yu Fu thought for a while and said, "Quindi treats me with courtesy these days. Do you think he will end up with one another, or should he be courteous first and then soldiers?"
Chen Jingxing raised his eyebrows, "He dared to salute first and then fight? Princess, the ministers have already done everything you ordered. Forgive Emperor Kundi for not daring to salute first and then fight."
Yufu smiled, "Then I hope he can do it all, and it will save us a lot of trouble."
Tonight’s banquet is as grand as it used to be. The difference is that there are no more unique local song and dance performances in Xikun. I have seen these Yufu a few days ago.
Yufu sat in the most noble position next to Chen Jingxing and Kun Wushang. She picked up the wine bottle, played with it under the glorious lights in the temple, and sniffed at the tip of her nose.
Yufu was still young, and Gu Huaijiang seldom let her drink when he was in the Guhou Mansion.
Although she didn't drink, she also smelled the difference in the wine at the dinner.
Chen Jingxing keenly approached her, "Princess, is there a problem with this wine?"
A few days ago, at the banquet, Yufu didn't drink any wine. Kundi and the officials found out, but no one dared to persuade her to drink, and instead asked the palace people to serve her tea.
Today she suddenly became interested in wine, and Chen Jingxing immediately became vigilant.
Yufu smiled and shook his head, "Not only is there no problem, even I can drink a few sips. If I smell it right, this should be a new brew, and the wine tastes very weak. The people of Xikun are strong, and men and women drink extraordinary amounts of alcohol today. Suddenly having such a light wine shows how much Quinti attaches importance to today's banquet."
Pay attention to that from himself to the ministers, no one can drink alcohol and make mistakes.
Chen Jingxing nodded slowly, and glanced at the minister in the room. The complexions of everyone were completely different from those of the feast a few days ago, as if they were all observing them.
It seems that Yufu is right. Tonight is the time for Kundi to formally negotiate terms.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Kun Di to get to the point, "The princess has been in Xikun for a long time. I wonder if the princess is still satisfied with my hospitality these days?"
In all fairness, these days, Emperor Kun's hospitality couldn't fault it, and even Yufu didn't want the maidservant he sent to serve, he didn't send anyone to monitor it.
Even the reactivation of Kunwu's injury was mostly due to giving her face, and Yufu should be satisfied.
She smiled, "It's acceptable."
Kundi immediately changed his face, and the courtiers looked at each other, not knowing how she would make such an answer.
When I was about to ask her about her dissatisfaction, I only heard Chen Jingxing stand up and say: "These days, Kundi’s hospitality to us, I thank the princess for the princess. If the prince of your country does not offend the princess, I think the princess will not just give There is an acceptable answer. You must have inquired about the princess. Even when she was living in Dongling, she had never been aggrieved at all. What's more, she was beaten and injured all over?"
Chen Jingxing was neither humble nor overbearing, he first raised and then suppressed, clinging to Kun Junyue's offense to Yufu and not letting go, saying that Kundi lost his temper.
No matter how courteous he treats Yufu, Kun Junyue's incident is a real handle, which is very detrimental to their conversation today.
Quenti smiled reluctantly and changed the subject, "I heard that the Gu family's condition has improved. I also heard that the princess has been taking care of him these days. I don't know what the princess intends to do with him?"
Yufu hasn’t answered yet, and there is already a person who looks like a general and stands up in anger, "Your Majesty! This Gu Shubai absolutely can’t leave Xikun, he will eventually think that he should be killed, and use his blood to pay tribute to the two dead and injured in Xikun. One hundred thousand soldiers!"
Chen Jingxing leaned to Yufu's ear and whispered, "This person is the speaker of the Wang family among the several military gates in Xikun, and is a well-known general in Xikun."
Without raising his eyes, Yufu raised the bottle and took a sip, sweet and scented.
Well, this wine is good.
Emperor Kun has been staring at Yufu from before the general king spoke. Seeing that there is no panic on her face and frowning, he coughed dryly, "Although Gu Shubai is the eldest son of Gu's army, he will be with me. Kun has blood and deep hatred, but he—"
"puff."
It was rare for Yufu to encounter wine with such a weak taste. He wanted to take a bite to try it. He couldn't help but laugh when he didn't want to hear Kundi's words.
Quinti looked at her inexplicably, "What is the princess laughing at?"
Yufu said slowly and logically: "The Emperor Kun said just now, who has blood feud with Xikun?"
Kundi and General Wang looked at each other and said, "Naturally it is Gu Huaijiang’s Gu family army. How many soldiers has Gu’s family killed on the border in Xikun for decades? Let’s not say that I beheaded last year. At 200,000, the Liu family's army was almost wiped out. As the major general of the Gu family's army, Gu Shubai is naturally Xikun's enemy!"
"Exactly!"
The general king then said: "My Wang's family and Gu's family have also fought against each other many times, and each time we have been defeated by them. Over the years, the number of soldiers who have been killed or injured in their hands is less than 100,000 and 80,000. Now Gu Shubai is here. Xikun, how can I allow him to retreat?"
Yufu couldn't help but the corners of his mouth curled slightly. Seeing how General Wang and Emperor Kun sang a harmony, it was obvious that they had already matched the words.
If she didn't pay any attention, it would be too shameful for Kundi.
She stood up from her seat and walked into the hall graciously, "Since General Wang hates Gu Jiajun so much, as the adopted daughter of Gu Huaijiang, do you want to keep this palace from retreating?"
General Wang was stunned and couldn't help looking at Kundi.
Kundi was busy making the rounds, "Hey, the princess laughed, how can this be the same? You are the Prince of Beili, and you are not related to the Gu Huaijiang family, and you have no military position in the Gu family army. How can you be blamed? "
"So how many soldiers have been killed and injured in Xikun over the past decades, can you blame the Gu family army?"
Yufu sneered, "Who is the one who actively provokes the border wars every year and keeps the people on the border of Dongling from living? Who is the one who intends to capture the city of Dongling and occupy the land of Dongling? The soldiers of the Gu's army cannot accompany their relatives at home. Who is on the battlefield again and again?"
She looked around at the Xikun courtiers present, especially those generals, all of them bowed their heads.
She finally looked at Quentin, "I think everyone knows who the answer is. It is a brazen idea that those who provoke the war will regard those who are legitimately defending as enemies. Take ten thousand steps and say that the two armies only need to fight. Without using any intrigue means, deaths and injuries are inevitable for soldiers. How can you talk about hatred? But you, Kundi, if I remember correctly in the battle last year, you also sacrificed your daughter to Dongling and tried to cover up the war with your relatives. The original intention. This method... My palace really disdains."
Quenti was irritated by her words, what shamelessness, what scheming, what sacrificing his own daughter...
The words and sentences of Yufu were accusing him. As the supreme king of Xikun, he would not allow anyone to damage his majesty in front of his courtiers.
"Snapped!"
Kundi slapped the case with a slap in the face.
But Yufu didn't care at all, and slowly walked back to his seat and sat down, "Why is Emperor Kun so angry? Today is not here to talk about whether Xikun and Dongling are wrong. General Wang doesn't need to be here anymore. There was an act in front of the palace, and the news of the rushing between the major military gates in Xikun was more or less known in this palace. Liu Jiajun was almost wiped out. This is a good opportunity for your Wang's army to show up."
She raised the wine bottle and smiled, "If it's not the case, I'm afraid your general king won't be able to sit in such a high position today, is this right?"
It turned out that she had seen it from the beginning.
General Wang was embarrassed and glanced at Kundi. He knew he should send someone who can act to set up the stage. How could he act like an old man who can only fight
Kundi's anger gradually calmed down, and I was afraid that those who would act again in front of the Yufu Princess would not be able to restrain her.
Her ease of use was not only because of Bei Li's strength, but also because of her ingenuity, she did not come to Xikun with a hot head like Kundi imagined, but was fully prepared.
She knew exactly the relationship between the several military gates in the Xikun Dynasty, so she could see General Wang at a glance.
Kundi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yufu's gaze somewhat dangerously.
He was quite fortunate when he first saw Yufu. If Beili's next generation of emperors were such a weak woman, he would be able to expand the territory of Xikun to the north, even if his national strength was declining.
As time passed, he became more and more aware of Yufu's talents and methods, and the more uneasy he felt in his heart. A woman who has such courage at a young age has limitless achievements in the future. Then contact her and the relationship between Gu Jiajun...
Kundi had to worry that Yufu's present kindness was just a stopgap measure, and her heart would lean towards Dongling in the future.
He slowly said, "The princess meant to protect this Gu Shubai, right?"
Yufu glanced at him with a smile, and it seemed to see him through, "I'll tell you the truth, in fact, when this palace was in Dongling, he admired Emperor Kun very much."
Emperor Kun raised his eyebrows, surprised and delighted, "What do you say?"
Yufu smiled and said, "Although Emperor Kun intends to invade the territory of Dongling, and launching wars every year to make Dongling people dislike you, this palace is not a Dongling person. Instead, he thinks that Emperor Kundi is a hero. You are in the mainland of Kyushu. Among the three countries, the territory of Xikun is not small, but the population is very small, and the land is also very barren. After all, Kundi's intention to East Turkistan is for the welfare of the people, right?"
Of course, Kundi would not be in front of courtiers, saying that he kept east Turkistan just for his own ambition, so he nodded to Yufu and accepted her compliment.
Yufu added: "Compared with Emperor Kun, Dongling’s emperor is far behind, especially Emperor Xiao Ning, who has just ascended the throne. With his blind enjoyment and his refusal to accept the advice of good officials, Dongling quickly It will be ruined in his hands. The worst thing is that he even has to eradicate the loyal and loyal Gu's army. If the Gu's army is gone, is Kundi still worried that he won't be able to occupy Dongling's territory?"
Kundi frowned, "You mean..."
"The meaning of this palace is that it is true that I want to save people in Guhou Mansion. Not only Gu Shubai, but I also want to save people in Guhou Mansion who are in Dongling prison. When Emperor Kun is on the rise, the people in Guhou's Mansion will never work for Dongling again, and will no longer fight the army of Xikun for Emperor Ning."
As soon as Yufu said this, the crowd was in an uproar, and all the officials whispered to each other.
If what she said was true, afterwards Dongling picked up the Guhou Mansion without the Guhou Mansion, and the Gu family army could not become a climate without a leader, then the only obstacle for Xikun to attack Dongling would be gone.
This is really exciting news!
Kundi was not as optimistic as he thought, and he didn't dare to take Yufu too lightly, "But even if the people in Guhou's Mansion were so disappointed with Emperor Xiaoning that they would no longer serve Dongling, how did I know that they would not be able to take care of Dongling after following the princess? Where is Bei Li coming to attack my Xikun?"
Generals like Gu Huaijiang and his son are not to be met once in a hundred years, and the undead Kundi is not at ease after all.
Unless they are willing to work for Xi Kun-of course, it is almost impossible for Kun Di to know Gu Huaijiang's loyalty.
All the ministers in the seat returned to their vigilant expressions, and Kundi was justified in worrying. No matter where the Gu family and his son go, it is ultimately an unpredictable variable.
Yufu couldn't help laughing.
Everyone laughed inexplicably by her, and looked at her with doubts.
After a while, Yu Fucai said: "The Emperor Kun really thought that for decades, I have never committed Bei Li to the two kingdoms of Dongling and Xikun. Is it because there are no generals in our country? Kundi would underestimate my Beili, right? As far as Xikun is concerned, it may be difficult to find a general like Gu's father and son. But in my Beili, there is not necessarily no. Besides, my Beili million masters, even if there is no such powerful general, can it be that you can’t beat Xikun. A hundred thousand remnants of soldiers?"
"Huh, a million heroes? Is Princess Yufu's cowhide blown up? If Bei Li really has a million heroes, I'm afraid that Dongling and Xikun together are not rivals. Why does Bei Li treat me twice? Didn't you commit any crimes in the National Autumn?"
It was the general Wang who said this. As a general of Xikun, he knew very well what damage a million troops could cause to Xikun. It was almost devastating.
He knows that Beili is strong, but he doesn't believe it will be so strong. With a sharp blade but not out of the sheath, can Beili not believe in Buddhism
Yufu didn’t laugh, and picked up the wine glass to play. Chen Jingxing nodded at her and stood up and said: "Kundi, General Wang, if you don’t believe me, you can send someone to ask about the city defense on the northern border. Look at my Beili army. How many soldiers are there on the ground?"
"what?!"
Kundi was shocked to stand up from his seat, and Chaotang suddenly dropped into the pond like dripping water, causing a thousand waves of waves.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hoofs came from outside the silent palace, and a soldier carrying a ling arrow fell off his horse.
He yelled loudly as he ran, "Eight Baili expedites the military report, Beili's 200,000 troops are approaching the border, please send troops quickly for reinforcements!"
Kunwu, who had never spoken, frowned slightly and unconsciously glanced at Yufu.
She asked Chen Jingxing to send a letter to return to China to transfer troops. It seemed that just a few days ago, she didn't expect Bei Li's army to come to the city so soon. What execution power was this.
A prince who has never returned to China for more than ten years, a teenage girl, how can she have such appeal
This was something that Kun Wu had never thought about before, and he didn't dare to think that Gu Huaijiang, a veteran who has been in the army for decades, can command his own Gu family army so fast, right
Beili has never had a war in the past decades. The defense of the northern border of Xikun can be said to be just a gesture.
Reinforcement? What did he use to send troops? !
Kundi frowned. He raised his eyes to see Yufu who was sipping the wine. He raised the guard's sword in a hurry, and quickly rushed to Yufu to use the sword against her throat, "How dare you play me?!"
