The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Yelu Luan couldn't care about this anymore, he confirmed unsteadily: "Say it again!"

The State of Yan secretly set up a news office in Daqi's capital to facilitate their communication, and Yixin had just arrived from there.

"Second prince, I just got the urgent news, so I went to Yanyun Tower. This is the news I just got!"

Yixin said quickly, sweating profusely, "There's nothing wrong, it's Yu Fuyun who is leading the troops."

The Yan Kingdom and the Yu family have been in a confrontation for a hundred years. They used to be in the Yan Kingdom, and they almost changed their color when they talked about the word "Yu". All of them can admit their mistakes, but Yu Fuyun can't be wrong!

Yelu Luan murmured, "But Yu Fuyun... isn't he sick?

Isn't he still in Beijing? "

Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly remembered that he really hadn't seen Yu Fuyun for a long time.

Previously, for the sake of peace talks between the two countries, Yu Fuyun followed Gu Zezhi from time to time. Later, since Gu Jing, the second prince of Daqi, took over the peace talks, let alone Yu Fuyun, even Gu Zezhi rarely appeared. Therefore, he never noticed that Yu Fuyun was no longer in the capital!

Yu Fuyun actually went to the northern border secretly!

"mean!"

Yelu Luan's teeth rattled, and he finally managed to squeeze a voice out of his teeth and asked Yi Xin, "When did it happen?"

Yixin immediately replied: "Just yesterday, the flying pigeons just arrived."

"Useless things, Yu Fuyun won the three cities!"

Yelu Luan picked up the jug on the table and threw it on the ground fiercely, and said bitterly, "Daqi is despicable, this side is negotiating with us, and the other side actually sent troops to attack me Dayan."

"I'm going to see Emperor Daqi, and I must ask him to explain to me Dayan!"

"Does Daqi want to fight or make peace!"

Yelu Luan's words were heavier than words, and his anger was rising.

As a result, the two Beiyan envoys followed Yelu Luan into the palace quickly to meet the Holy Spirit, but the emperor did not see them, so the servants in the imperial study shut them out.

Yelu Luan was unwilling to go back like this. After waiting and waiting outside the imperial study, he was left in the air for more than an hour before he was able to enter the imperial study.

In the imperial study, not only the emperor but also Gu Zezhi was there, and the brothers Gu Jing and Gu Zhen were also sitting by the window.

Gu Zezhi drank tea gracefully and calmly, not even looking at Yeluluan, but Gu Jing was a little surprised when he saw him.

Without waiting for Yelu Luan to salute, the emperor asked indifferently, "Why is Prince Yelu eager to see me?"

Yelu Luan's expression became even more irritable, and his voice sharply asked: "His Majesty Emperor Daqi, why did you send troops to attack me, Dayan, regardless of the peace talks between the two countries? What's the reason?

! "

"Daqi must return Beimeng City, Tuli City and Lunta City to my Dayan and punish Yu Fuyun."

Yelu Luan said angrily, his face ashen.

The emperor had also just received the military report from the northern Xinjiang. At this time, seeing Yelu Luan's frantic appearance, his heart was very happy, and he held back his laughter calmly.

Gu Jing: "!"

Gu Jing was at a loss, and looked at the emperor.

What's going on? Aren't the two countries in peace talks? Why did the war suddenly start again?

!

The emperor looked at Gu Zezhi who was on the side and asked lightly, "Zezhi, you are in charge of the peace talks between the two countries. Tell me, what is going on?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi was calm, always smiling slightly, looking at Yelu Luan who was angry a few steps away, and asked: "Then the six hundred Turkic horses infected with horse plague that Prince Yelu gave me to Daqi are again How to say?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

So, everyone's eyes turned to Yelu Luan again.

Yelu Luan: "!"

How could Gu Zezhi know?

!

Yelu Luan was still too young after all. At this moment, he couldn't hide the shock in his expression, and his thoughts flew: In other words, their plan was seen through by Gu Zezhi, and the plan failed.

Gu Zezhi and Yelu Luan looked at each other without raising their eyebrows, and said lightly, "Prince Yelu, come and go without being indecent, my Daqi is a country of etiquette, and this great gift from Prince Yelu is natural. It is to be paid back.”

Yelu Luan: "!"

His face seemed to be splashed with ink, and it was a bit ugly.

He thought of Yu Fuyun... The army of Dayan and Yu Fuyun could be regarded as "old acquaintances". Yu Fuyun used to use tricks. Even if there was no chance on the battlefield, he would create an opportunity, let alone, Now Dayan has such a big flaw!

How could Yu Fuyun let it go!

Gu Zezhi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and looked calm.

Yelu Luan felt stuffy in his chest, his whole body trembled slightly with anger, and his eyes were spitting fire.

mean!

Looking at Yelu Luan, whose face was ashen, the emperor felt as if he had drank a jar of fine wine.

!

Since the founding of Daqi, there have been constant wars with Beiyan, and the two countries have always been feuding. Now that Beiyan can suffer such a big loss, the emperor feels happy from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Zezhi stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at Gu Jing lightly, the corners of his lips curved into a shallow arc, and said with a smile, "This time, thanks to the Second Prince's help in dragging Prince Yelu's attention."

Gu Jing: "..."

Gu Jing's pupils shrank slightly, thinking in his heart: No, he didn't!

His face was stiff, already startled.

In less than half an hour, his heart has been ups and downs several times. He was almost stunned to hear this story, and he did not expect that Gu Zezhi would suddenly come out like this and put him in a daze. Also dragged into the water!

He really didn't have a secret connection with Gu Zezhi!

Gu Jing's mouth was slightly open, and his face seemed to be covered with a cloud, which became more and more ugly.

Yelu Luan: "!"

Yelu Luan's eyes shot at Gu Jing like an arrow, with a look of resentment in his eyes.

"You..." Yelu Luan's voice couldn't hide the trembling.

It is so, it is so!

Gu Jing dared to play him all these days, and he actually believed it, and was played around by a fool like Gu Jing.

It's no wonder that since Gu Jing got involved in the peace talks, Gu Zezhi stopped coming forward. He just let Gu Jing spend it with himself, and made himself mistakenly think that Gu Jing was going to steal from Gu Zezhi. It turned out that they were a black face. , a white face!

Gu Jing, ah Gu Jing.

The more Yelu Luan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, as if his chest had been crushed by something, and his blood was surging.

He felt a bitter taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spit out from his throat and dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"Tick, tick..."

A drop of blood dripped on the ground of the gold brick below, shocking.

Gu Jing: "!"

Gu Jing also came back to his senses at this moment.

He is not stupid. At this time, he also wants to understand the ins and outs. He subconsciously wants to tell Yeluluan that he does not have it, but the emperor is here. If Yeluan tells him that he has agreed to cooperate with each other, what should he do? Explain to your father?

!

Gu Jing's eyes changed brightly and secretly, and he could only swallow those words and stand stiffly on the spot.

He was very worried, but he didn't know that the emperor saw the change in his face.

The emperor looked at Gu Jing and then looked at Gu Zezhi again, and his heart was complicated: King Duan gave birth to a good son, if his son was 70% to 80% of Gu Zezhi's, why would he worry about this country!

The emperor couldn't help but looked at Gu Zhen who was sitting by the window.

Gu Zhen sat upright on an armchair. He was small, his feet could not touch the ground, and he was suspended in mid-air, but he was well-behaved and motionless, like a little adult.

He turned his face slightly to the side, listened carefully, and pursed his mouth slightly, as if thinking.

The emperor often asked Gu Zhen to follow Gu Zezhi. This time, when Gu Zezhi dealt with Beiyan's affairs, he always took Gu Zhen by his side, taught him, and pointed him.

Fortunately, Gu Zhen is still young and has plasticity. In the future, let Gu Zezhi help him with Gu Zhen. Gu Zhen can learn a thing or two from him, and he will benefit greatly in the future.

Gu Zezhi was still as gentle and refined, neither frightened nor arrogant, neither proud nor arrogant, as if he hadn't seen Yelu Luan vomiting blood at all, he said with a smile, "Prince Yelu, do you dare to ask if you want to continue the peace talks?"

His voice is clear and warm, his eyes are bright, like the brilliance of a bright moon, and he is polite.

Yelu Luan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his cuff, and his face was as pale as paper.

"Peace talk?"

His eyes were sharp and sullen, his teeth rattled, and he gritted his teeth, "Return the three cities first!"

While speaking, Yelu Luan's chest rose and fell violently again.

In stark contrast to his excitement is Gu Zezhi's indifference, he said lightly: "It seems that your country doesn't want to talk about it."

Without waiting for Yelu Luan to answer, Gu Zezhi clasped his fists to the emperor and suggested to himself, "Your Majesty, why don't you let Fuyun chase after the victory, maybe you can reach the King Yan City all the way."

The emperor raised his hand and patted it on the desk, and said loudly: "Alright!"

These two words made the atmosphere in the imperial study change again.

Gu Jing's eyes were slightly opened, his fists were clenched, and there were blue veins on the back of his hands.

The two Beiyan envoys behind Yeluluan were anxious, and one of the middle-aged envoys strode over Yeluluan and said eagerly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Emperor Daqi, don't be angry.

The terms of the peace talks that Daqi mentioned last time, I agree to it on behalf of my king. "

"Oh?"

The emperor raised his right eyebrow slightly, and kowtowed twice on the desk with a fist with his right hand, "Bring me the proposed and book to see."

It was only at this moment that Gu Jing realized that he originally came for peace talks today, but the emperor didn't ask any questions, he just kept him on the line until now.

Hearing this, he hurriedly presented the previously prepared harmony book to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at the terms of the Heshu at a glance, and a sneer appeared on the corners of his lips. Since ancient times, there has been a monarch who is not angry and arrogant.

"Is this what you planned?"

The emperor looked at Gu Jing sharply.

This and the articles and clauses in the book are all biased towards Beiyan. This unknowing person is afraid that they will think that their big Qi is not a victory, but a defeat!

Gu Jing's face was even more unsightly, and he could naturally see that the royal father was extremely dissatisfied with the book.

However, when he was drafting this peace book, how did he know that Gu Zezhi and Yu Fuyun would cooperate in secret, and how did he know that Yu Fuyun would lead his troops to take down the Three Cities of Beiyan!

Gu Zezhi was clearly hiding it from him on purpose and wanted to see him embarrassing himself in front of his father, right?

and……

Gu Jing really disapproved of Gu Zezhi's actions, and he blamed him in his heart.

In his view, friendship between the two countries is the long-term strategy.

Gu Zezhi actually let Da Qi go to war first for the sake of his enthusiasm. With good luck this time, Yu Fuyun won the three cities of Beimeng City, Tuli City and Lunta City. What if he was unlucky?

!

Wouldn't it make the people of Daqi fall into the flames of war again!

Gu Jing took two deep breaths before he managed to calm down a little, and said solemnly to the emperor: "Father, the friendship between the two countries is the blessing of the common people. My son thinks that peace is the most important thing, and the matter of peace can be discussed again. discussion."

Gu Jing felt that the two sides could take a step back. For example, if they gave the two cities to Yan, then Yan would definitely remember Daqi's good, and the two countries would be able to coexist peacefully in the future.

emperor:"……"

The emperor's eyes flickered, he slowly grabbed the jade wrench on his thumb, looked at Gu Zhen again and asked, "Jin'er, what do you think?"

Gu Jing couldn't believe his ears. His father asked Gu Zhen, who was only six years old, what was this?

!

He felt as if he had been slapped in front of everyone.

Gu Zhen has often followed Gu Zezhi during this period of time, and he has read a little, listened a little, and said solemnly: "Father, Daqi is a victorious country."

The emperor stroked his beard, and his handsome face was more than three-pointed. He stroked his hand and said, "That's right."

"If you want to talk about peace, okay," the emperor said with a smile, "Zezhi, redraw the book."

Gu Zezhi stood up, took orders with a nod, and then calmly offered his conditions:

"The three cities of Beimeng City, Tuli City and Lunta City belong to Daqi from now on."

"Draw the Lunta River and the Lunta Prairie to Daqi."

"Compensate Daqi with 500,000 taels of gold, 5 million taels of silver, and 3,000 healthy Turkic horses, including 2,000 mares."

"..."

Hearing this, Yelu Luan and several other Beiyan envoys' faces became more and more ugly, their hearts were bleeding, as if a knife was plucking out their hearts. Talk harder with them.

He was literally opening his mouth to the lion.

Gu Jing's face turned blue and white, and he felt that Gu Zezhi was deliberately disrupting the situation. He insisted that the two countries would not be able to negotiate, but his father and emperor seemed to be bewitched by him, and he seemed to appreciate him very much.

Finally, after Gu Zezhi finished speaking, Yelu Luan's complexion had already changed several times.

He sternly said, "No!"

Absolutely not!

If he accepts such terms of peace talks, when he returns to Dayan, what awaits him will be the thunder and anger of his father and the ridicule of his brothers, and the throne of King Yan will be completely missed by him!

"Then let's fight!"

Gu Zezhi smiled lightly.

His tone was so casual, as if he regarded the war between the two countries as a little fight between two children.

"..." Yelu Luan's expression became even more ugly.

He didn't dare to accept this, because he knew about his own family affairs, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and they were unable to fight again in a few years.

Therefore, he wanted to use Ma Wen to destroy the war horses in the northern Xinjiang and take Fufeng City.

At that time, even if Da Qi suffered a big loss, he would not dare to act rashly...

Does Da Qi still have spare power?

Yelu Luan's mood was numb for a while, and his heart was even more chaotic.

He couldn't help but look at Gu Zezhi again, Gu Zezhi stood with his hands down, his body was long and jade, and the rays of sunlight cast a mottled light and shadow on him through the shade of the tree outside the window, as if plated with a light layer of light on him. The halo, personable.

Gu Zezhi's lips curled into a smile, but just standing there so quietly, he carried an imposing manner that made people dare not underestimate him.

Ye Fuyun is now in the northern border, and they have lost three cities in the country of Dayan. Does Daqi still have something behind...

Just thinking about it, Yelu Luan felt like there was a huge boulder pressing against his heart, making him unable to breathe.

After thinking about it, Yelu Luan showed no timid expression on his face, and said with his head held high: "If you want to fight, fight, I will not be afraid of Dayan warrior!"

Gu Zezhi smiled without saying a word, not even raising his eyebrows.

Yelu Luan felt that the boulder on his chest seemed to be heavier, and Gu Zezhi looked too sure.

The air in the imperial study became more dignified as the two confronted each other.

Seeing this, Gu Jing became anxious: if Gu Zezhi continued to be so provocative, it didn't force Beiyan to fight with them, but in the end, it just made both countries lose.

Gu Jing looked at the emperor eagerly.

The emperor after the imperial case didn't speak, he picked up the tea cup on his own, and drank the tea gracefully, as if he didn't care about Yelu Luan's challenge.

Yelu Luan was also looking at the emperor, and his heart was even more uncertain.

The imperial study fell into a dead silence, and the needle could be heard falling.

The two Beiyan envoys beside Yelu Luan were sweating coldly on their foreheads. They felt that the second prince was too absolute. The current situation was obviously unfavorable for their Yan Kingdom. None of them can afford this consequence!

As the silence spread, the air became more and more dignified, as if it were too dull to breathe before a summer rainstorm.

The two Beiyan envoys tried their best to wink Yelu Luan, but Yelu Luan remained motionless, his heart was suspended in mid-air, and he always felt that Gu Zezhi was deliberately bluffing, but he was clueless.

I don't know how long it took, when there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps outside.

Zhou Xin walked in in a hurry, and presented a letter respectfully: "Your Majesty, I just intercepted the biography of the flying pigeons from the State of Yan to the capital. It is a military newspaper."

While speaking, Zhou Xin gave Yelu Luan a meaningful glance.

Yelu Luan and the two Beiyan envoys were all shocked, and an ominous premonition appeared in their hearts.

Could it be that their state of Yan's information in the capital was exposed?

The emperor glanced at the Beiyan Army newspaper, the corners of his lips curled up, and he waved: "Show it to Second Prince Yelu."

Zhou Xin presented the military report to Yelu Luan again.

Yelu Luan's hand trembled, and the military newspaper in his hand almost didn't let go. Please clearly write on it--

Yu Fuyun had already led his troops to capture the Lunta River last night!

And this military report was written in Yanwen, and below it was stamped with the seal of the great general Xiao Li, as well as their unique seal of Dayan, which cannot be faked.

In the imperial study, it was quiet.

Yelu Luan: "!"

For Yelu Luan, this news was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Gu Zezhi looked at Yelu Luan with a smile and asked, "Do you sign it?"

Yelu Luan's body tensed even more, remembering that Gu Zezhi had clearly proposed to give the "Lunta River" to Da Qi, that is to say, did Gu Zezhi know that Yu Fuyun would take the Lunta River?

!

Yelu Luan's heart sank again.

The two Beiyan envoys also thought of going together, their pupils flickering brightly and secretly, they just felt like there was a butcher knife on top of their heads, and the clothes behind them were already wet.

Yelu Luan's heart became even more chaotic, as if his body was immersed in a wet and cold swamp, the deeper he sank, the deeper he sank...

Everyone looked at Yelu Luan, not only the emperor, Gu Jing, etc., but also two Beiyan envoys.

Everyone's expressions are different, some are calm, some are uneasy, some are chaotic, some are anxious...

I don't know how long it took, Yelu Luan finally spit out a word with difficulty: "Sign."

The word seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he looked exhausted.

The two Beiyan envoys were relieved when they heard the words. They were really afraid that the trouble would continue. Tonight, the Beijiang Army will continue to march north, so they are the eternal sinners of Dayan!

On the same day, the emperor announced that the left servant of the Ministry of Rites had redrawn the peace book, and the three cities and one river in Beiyan, plus the Lunta prairie, would belong to Daqi forever, plus the 500,000 taels of gold, five One million taels of silver, 3,000 Turkic horses, and annual tributes.

The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites quickly drew up a new Japanese book according to what Jiao Zezhi said. On the surface, he was calm, but in fact he was terrified.

The peace book led by the second prince Gu Jing was also drafted by him. Obviously, the terms a few days ago were nothing more than Beiyan's compensation of 1,000 Turkic horses and 100,000 taels of silver to Daqi. , Daqi will marry the pro-princess and the second prince of Beiyan, and the two countries will become brothers and rule the country from then on.

All of a sudden, the terms of the Heshu have undergone earth-shaking changes. According to these terms, it is almost equivalent to ripping off a layer of flesh and blood from Bei Yan's body.

Happy, really happy!

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites prepared the book, and after drying the ink, he carefully presented the newly prepared book to the emperor for review.

After the emperor looked at it, he suddenly said: "One more thing, from now on, the second prince of Yelu will stay in Daqijing for a long time."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Yelu Luan changed his face in an instant and raised his voice, "Why?

! There is no such clause in the clause just now! "

Staying in Daqi is tantamount to becoming Dayan's proton in Daqi. How could Yelu Luan agree? He is still waiting to return to China, and he still wants to fight for the crown prince!

The emperor slowly turned the jade finger on his thumb, his eyes were sharp, and he said calmly: "Since the second prince Yelu has the blueprint of the compound bow, of course I can't let you go back."

"Second Prince Yelu, Daqi is also good, the land is vast and the resources are abundant, and there are many talents, isn't it?"

Yelu Luan felt cold all over, and her blue eyes were almost stunned.

The emperor's words were like another heavy hammer hitting Yeluluan's heart. He only felt that the cold swamp seemed to spread under his lips...

Does Emperor Daqi really know everything?

!

how come?

! Gu Jing's expression was also a little wrong, and he almost made a sound.

The emperor didn't look at Gu Jing, looked at Yeluluan and said, "I will give you a marriage and a mansion for the third princess and Yingluo county master."

"After you get married, the three of you don't leave the house again."

"It's all written in and books."

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites only complied with his promise, and took the book and went to make up a few more, and he was even more shocked: the emperor's words just revealed too many meanings...

Is this a kiss...or a life sentence?

What big mistake did the third princess and Yingluo County make?

!

Yelu Luan was finally convinced: Emperor Daqi really knew everything.

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites completed the new and written book in a short while, and put it in front of Yelu Luan. The terms of the book were written in Daqi's words and Dayan's words respectively, and they were listed clearly. Chu, clearly and clearly.

For Yelu Luan, every word in the book was so dazzling, every stroke was like countless needles stabbing in his heart.

His broad chest heaved violently, and he really wanted to tear up the book in front of him.

Of course he didn't want to sign. However, he knew in his heart that he had no other choice. Even if he didn't sign, the envoy who came with him this time was also qualified to sign for him.

Asoye stepped forward and whispered, "Second Prince..."

This call sounds unclear at first glance, but in Yelu Luan's ears it was no different than a reminder and a threat.

If Yelu Luan doesn't sign because he doesn't want to be a proton, then he is Dayan's sinner through the ages. Even if he returns to China, King Yan will not let him go. What's more, he has the blueprint of the compound bow now. Emperor Daqi will never let him go. Will let him go!

Maybe it's not just him, all their envoys are afraid that they will not be able to leave.

At this time, he took the initiative to sign the letter of agreement, so when the news came back to Yan Kingdom, he would still sacrifice for Yan Kingdom.

Yelu Luan walked towards the desk with the book by the window with difficulty, but it was only a short distance of less than three feet. For him, it was like a sea of ​​swords and flames.

Step by step, step by step...

He can't believe that things have developed to this point now!

He was actually calculated by Gu Zezhi and Yu Fuyun together!

Finally, Yelu Luan walked to the desk and stiffly picked up the wolf pen on top of the pen.

Every movement of his was so difficult, so slow, and when the pen was in his hand, the veins on the dark back of his hand burst out.

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites looked at the copy of the book with a burning gaze, and watched Yelu Luan sign and seal the book.

The dust has settled.

The emperor indifferently instructed: "Zhou Xin, you have sent the second prince Yelu and the two envoys back to the Siyi Pavilion, and you must protect them."

The implication is that Yelu Luan and the two Beiyan envoys were placed under house arrest.

Zhou Xin responded quickly.

Yelu Luan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he didn't even salute the emperor, he just walked away.

The two Beiyan envoys did not dare to be like Yelu Luan, they politely bowed to the emperor, and then followed Yelu Luan out of the imperial study.

Gu Jing: "..."

Gu Jing stared at the door curtain that was shaking in mid-air, still in shock.

When he turned his head, he met the emperor's eyes. The father and son looked at each other, and the emperor's disappointment and indifference were evident.

Gu Jing's heart sank for a moment, he opened his lips slightly and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the emperor raising his hand.

The emperor asked sharply, "Did you give Yelu Luan the blueprint of the compound bow?"

Gu Jing: "!"

Looking at Gu Jing, who was speechless, the emperor was even more disappointed with this son, and continued: "Prince Tai was in charge of the mass production of compound bows in the Ministry of Works, so he has the design drawings of the compound bows.

In order to get the blueprint, you deliberately moved the tiger away from the mountain, and first tried to support the Prince of Thailand and let him go to the northern border. "

Gu Jing: "!"

The emperor's eyes darkened.

His son has grown up, has plans, and has ambitions. Although he can see some clues in his steps and links, it is not until Gu Zezhi's words are broken that he puts all the fragmentary pieces together. String up.

"The reason why Yelu Luan proposed to let Chang Ning marry is also your intention, right?"

"Yingluo and Changning have already fought over who to marry. You know Yingluo's heart knot, so she used the relationship between the two countries to put pressure on her and encouraged her to steal the design of the compound bow in Prince Thai's study. , right or wrong?"

Gu Jing: "!"

Emperor: "Gu Jing, as Da Qi's prince, you betrayed Da Qi, you have disappointed me so much!"

"Father, my son never betrayed Da Qi, everything he did was for Da Qi."

Gu Jing plopped down and knelt down, looking up at the emperor to defend himself.

"Father, the peace talks between the two countries are related to Daqi's future destiny. I, Daqi, can't stand another hard battle."

"Last time, Daqi and Beiyan fought off and on for more than ten years. Every year, the tax revenue from Jiangnan went to the northern Xinjiang, and it was not enough to pay for the army's salaries and provisions."

"After so many years of war, life in northern Xinjiang has been wiped out. There are almost no strong men, there are not enough soldiers, and there is not enough food and grass. There are still turmoils in Daqi from time to time..."

"Father, Da Qi needs to recuperate!"

Gu Jingqing looked at the emperor sincerely, with such a sincere expression.
