Siheyuan: Don't mess with me

"May I ask how long it has been since Miss Mu came to Bianjing?"

After listening to Mu Guiying talk about Qiuguan's Northern Expedition, Zhou Cong asked a very crucial question.

"It's been more than two months?"

A wry smile escaped from the corner of Mu Guiying's mouth.

When she came, she had great hopes. After all, this represented the aspirations of the seven million Han people in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

I fully thought that I would definitely see the officials soon and inherit the wishes of the people, so that the officials would be willing to send troops to the Northern Expedition again to regain Yanyun.

But what happened after arriving in Bianjing gave her a blow to the head.

Whether he was going to the Privy Council, the Forbidden Army, or even the Kaifeng Mansion, he was blocked from the door.

When those big turbans heard that they were the people of Yanyun advising the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, they shook their heads like a rattle.

People with a better attitude will say that military matters are the matter of life and death. Now that Song and Liao have formed an alliance, and the Song Dynasty is a brother country, how can we do anything treacherous?

If she has a bad temper, she will be ordered to drive her out directly.

She had nowhere to go, so the reason why she was so excited after seeing the Hat Monster was because she wanted to catch the Hat Monster and get to know dignitaries, and she wanted to be recommended by them to meet the officials.

This is also the reason why after seeing Zhou Cong, she would kneel down and kowtow in deep affection.

"Miss Mu, to be honest, I can help you meet the saint. But if you want the country to send troops to the Northern Expedition, it is absolutely impossible!"

Seeing the hopeful look on Mu Guiying's face, although Zhou Cong couldn't bear it, he still told the truth.

"Miss Mu, several Northern Expeditions have broken the backbone of the country. The Chanyuan Alliance is an alliance under the city. Now those in power in the court fear Liao like a tiger, how dare they start the war lightly.

Moreover, after three heavenly books and several times of Zen, the national treasury has been exhausted! For those who use troops, logistics, money and food are the first priority. If you want to go to the Northern Expedition, you will need at least 200,000 soldiers, and the money will cost more than tens of millions!

Miss Mu, you are also a person who knows the military. You should know what the outcome of the Northern Expedition will be without food, grass, baggage and adequate supplies!"

"Sir! Is it possible that the country will allow us Han people to be driven around like oxen and horses by the Liao people?"

Mu Guiying cried sadly.

"Instead of asking for help, it is better to save yourself! Does Guiying know the three places of Goryeo, Jurchen and Bohai?"

Zhou Cong has been thinking about how to complete the tasks assigned by the system recently, and he has already made plans in his mind.

The original plan was to wait until Song Zhenzong became popular, Liu E came to power, and he married Gao Hui, before he mentioned the matter again.

The reason why I wanted to marry Gao Hui was not only because this little girl was good-looking and had a good personality, but also because I was afraid that someone else would get there first.

Also because her ancestor was Gao Huaide, who had great influence in the army and had close contacts with nobles, so she could support her own ideas.

Now that Mu Guiying appears, his plan can be advanced.

Because he does not need the support of the military, he can recruit a group of people to implement the plan.

"Sir, ordinary people have only heard of Jurchens!" Mu Guiying said a little shyly.

"You are in the land of Yanyun, which is far away from Korea and Bohai. It is normal that you have not heard of it! Miss Mu, please come over and take a look!"

Zhou Cong took out a pen and drew an extremely simple map on the paper.

"Goryeo, Jurchen, and Bohai were all on the border of the Liao Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty had been suffering for a long time. The Goryeo Dynasty met with officials several times and wanted to send troops to support the country, but they were all rejected.

Although Goryeo has surrendered its status to the Liao Dynasty and become a vassal state, it has been mobilizing troops in an attempt to fight again!

The history of the Bohai Kingdom can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty, and it was destroyed by the Liao Kingdom eighty years ago.

Just like you and other people of Yanyun, although the country has perished, its ambitions still exist, and righteous soldiers have risen in droves!

Like the Han people in your Yanyun land, some of the Jurchen tribes were moved into the interior of Liao and served for the Liao Kingdom. They were called mature Jurchens!

There is another one who lives between the white mountains and the black waters. Every year, he has to donate pearls, mink skins, sea greens and other objects to the Liao Dynasty in order to give birth to Jurchens!

These three places have been suffering for a long time. I would like to ask the sage to send ships from Zhejiang and Zhejiang to the Bohai Sea and wait for the marquis.

Then, take your troops, break Gu'an, enter the Heihe River, follow the sea, and then go to Goryeo.

Based on Goryeo, contact the Jurchen, Goryeo, and Bohai tribes to counterattack the Liao Dynasty from within.

Once the foundation of the Liao Kingdom is shaken, the dynasty will send troops to attack Yanyun without your request.

When the time comes, with attacks from both sides, the Liao Kingdom will become a thing of the past!"

When Zhou Cong said this, he looked into the distance with a proud look on his face.

"My lord, it is true that ghosts and gods are unpredictable, and Guiying admires it. But this is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. The place of Gu'an is an important border town of the Liao Dynasty, with more than 10,000 defenders!

The city is high and the pond is deep, even if all the soldiers under my command can equal ten to one, there is no guarantee that we can conquer Gu'an!"

Looking at the map on the paper, Mu Guiying felt a little uncomfortable but also worried.

"Please ask Miss Mu to come out with me, then you will know!"

Zhou Cong wasted no time and took Mu Guiying out of the labor reform department.

"Miss Mu, I'm offended!"

He turned to look at her and suddenly grabbed her shoulder.

Mu Guiying has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and fighting back has become her body's instinct.

As soon as Zhou Cong's hand touched her, he subconsciously struck his wrist with a palm, but Zhou Cong used his telekinesis to lift it up.

With a strong movement of his right hand, Zhou Cong rose into the air and pulled Mu Guiying soaring into the sky, covering a distance of more than thirty meters.

Then, someone landed steadily on the roof.

"Miss Mu, even though the city is high and the pond is deep, I feel like walking on flat ground!"

After letting go of Mu Guiying, Zhou Cong stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of pride.

"Sir, you are truly a god!"

Looking into the distance, Mu Guiying's eyes were filled with stars, and she looked at Zhou Cong with great admiration.

"But little Doyle!"

Zhou Cong smiled and looked at Mu Guiying beside him, but seeing her fair skin, almond-shaped eyes, and the aura of a woman, he couldn't help but take a step forward.

"grown ups!"

Mu Guiying sensed Zhou Cong's thoughts, let out a soft cry, and lowered his head.

She is brave and strong, and has the kind of temperament that dares to do anything.

In the novel, after catching Yang Zongbao, they got married at that time.

Now it seems that Zhou Cong is like a god, more willing to solve the problems of the people of Yanyun and Han, and has also set a strategy that seems very likely to be realized.

All kinds of accusations after coming to Bianjing made her give up hope on the Northern Expedition. Now that Zhou Cong came out of the blue, she solved her major troubles, her heart was filled with joy, and she looked more and more pleasing to Zhou Cong.

Old Neptune!

How could you not see that Mu Guiying's heart was moved?

He stepped forward, took her hand, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her lips gently.

"Guiying, to tell you the truth, I have been betrothed by a saint! I can only accept you as a concubine.

But I will ask the saint again to discuss with the officials and find the land of Yanyun to be crowned king, and I will definitely give you the position of the king’s concubine in the future!”

After letting go of Mu Guiying, Zhou Cong put his hands on her shoulders.

"As long as the officials can save the people of Yanyun from the fire and water, what does a mere title mean? Officials, there is no need to take this as a must!"

Mu Guiying did not take this seriously, but responded with a smile!

"Why is this guy here?"

While Zhou Cong was sitting on the roof, exchanging heart-to-hearts with Mu Guiying, he noticed a group of knights entering the gate of the Labor Reform Department.

The leader is none other than Gu Qianfan!

With Mu Guiying flying in front of Gu Qianfan, Zhou Cong stood with his hands behind his back.

"I've met Deputy Commander Zhou!"

Because Zheng Qingtian was assigned as a subordinate by Zhou Cong in the name of Liu E, Gu Qianfan had no chance to check Zheng Qingtian's background, and therefore had no chance to be promoted to command.

Seeing Zhou Cong face to face, he hurriedly jumped off his horse with his subordinates, and bowed to Zhou Cong with clasped fists, "Deputy Commander Zhou, I have been ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of the hat demon. I heard that Deputy Commander Zhou was taken away.

I have found two witnesses and are here to inquire!"

"Commander Gu, this is really unfortunate! I have also been ordered by the saint to investigate the Hat Demon case. I really can't give you these two witnesses!"

How could Zhou Cong hand over Mu Guiying and Du Changfeng to Gu Qianfan? He refused.

"Master Zhou, we all serve as officials in the same court, so please make it convenient for me! Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain myself in front of Ambassador Lei!"

"It's hard for you to explain, how can it be easier for me to explain in front of Uncle Guo? If you want witnesses, let Lei Jing go find my Uncle Guo. As long as he opens his mouth, I will do anything!"

"

"That being the case, the official can only respond to Lei Sishi like this!"

"Go slowly, don't send me away!"

Zhou Cong raised his hand.

"Sir, I have one more thing, and I would like to ask your Majesty alone!"

Although Zhou Cong pretended to see off his guests, Gu Qianfan had no intention of leaving and instead bowed again.

"You want to ask about Xiao Shijun's case?"

Zhou Cong asked.

"I just have some doubts about some things in this case. Could you please give me some advice?"

"This case has been decided by the DPRK and the Central Government. Commander Gu, do you still want to ask more questions?"

Zhou Cong's eyes became much sharper.

"Your Excellency, of course the court has made a final decision for Xianguan! It's just that Xianguan likes to be punished the most, so please make it convenient for your Excellency!" Gu Qianfan insisted.

"This case is very simple! After Xiao Shijun was killed, the first person I suspected was Qi Zhongcheng. Because he was the leader of the Qingliu army and hated Xiao Shijun to his core.

In order to deal with Xiao Shijun, he even persuaded his son to switch to his sect and merge into the Imperial City Division!"

"What?"

As soon as he said this, Gu Qianfan's expression suddenly changed. His life experience was so secret, how could it be possible for him to be exposed so easily?

"Commander Gu, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself.

Unfortunately, when I was in Bianjing, I accidentally saw Qi Zhongcheng and Commander Gu discussing this matter in a secluded place.

I was very puzzled at that time, didn't Qi Zhongcheng think he was a clean stream? He hated the lackeys of the Eunuch Party the most!

If I hadn’t been an old acquaintance with Commander Gu and wanted to do something ulterior motives, I would never have met in secret and been so close!

After following this line of investigation, I discovered that Commander Xiao had a son before. Who is this person? I don’t need to say more!"

"Lord Zhou, it is true that Bo Wen Qiang has a strong memory. He can remember the faces of Qi Zhongcheng and Xiaguan at the first sight of them!"

Gu Qianfan didn't know whether what Zhou Cong said was true or false, so he swallowed his anger.

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Zhou Cong laughed and said, "Commander Gu, because we have a close relationship in Qiantang, or if I really find clues to the hat demon case, I will definitely inform you.

After Commander Gu has been promoted to a higher rank, please don’t forget the merits of my promotion of you!”

"Then I will thank you sir in advance. If we can really solve the hat demon case, I will set up a banquet in Panlou to thank you Sir Zhou for your support!"

Gu Qianfan sneered loudly, saluted Zhou Cong again, and left the Labor Reform Department with his subordinates.

"Don't worry! I will definitely help you and help you solve the Hat Monster case. I just don't know what your expression will be when you find out that the mastermind behind the Hat Monster case is the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan!"

Watching Gu Qianfan leave, Zhou Cong's eyes were filled with amusement.
